Chapter 82: Little Pepper
Gu Qing sank to the bottom of the water at this time, tied himself to a big stone with a demon rope, hugged it tightly, held his breath and refused to surface.
Wisps of water arrows passed by, and he was so frightened that he silently recited in his heart, "Heaven and earth, the sea of stars is vast", and there was a thought in his mind, Lao Tzu would rather suffocate to death than give you a bullet to death!
"Senior sister! Tianquan has retreated, I'm afraid they will chase you if they can't find you! The situation is so chaotic, if you are shot by the black cavalry battalion, you will regret it!"
The duty of the black cavalry battalion is to guard the city gate, the disciples of the Emerald Pupil Sword Pavilion may not know each other, once a stranger is found, it is inevitable that there will be accidental injuries when the salvo of ten thousand arrows is fired, Li Song reminded loudly, and the Xuantie Sword reversed the direction and flew back towards the Cangji Cave Heaven.
Mei Ruoqing stared at the moat with an angry face, gritted her teeth, and left with her sleeves brushed up.
The water arrow finally stopped shooting, and Gu Qing quietly loosened the demon rope, quickly burrowed out of the water, and gasped for breath.
"There's someone in the water!" the guards of the black cavalry battalion shouted in shock, raising their bows and guarding one after another.
The commander of the guard was also witty, and shouted condescendingly: "Which tribe is below?
Gu Qing climbed onto the river bank exhausted, the icy river water was so cold that he shivered, and suddenly remembered the flying spear Zhang Huan of the Seven Star Pavilion, and he had an idea, it was better to temporarily pretend to be a member of the Kuo Clan, if they went to check, they could just notify Elder Guo to come to the rescue.
"In the Xia Qian Horse Clan, Zhang Huan, I chased the suspect with Mei Jianshi, I don't want to be run away by him, I have to go back and tell Elder Guo quickly!"
The flying spear Zhang Huan is well-known in Yunli City, and he is also one of the shareholders of the tea shop of the Guo family.
Of course, the commander of the guard had heard of this name, and looked at Gu Qing, who was soaked and embarrassed under the city wall, and it seemed that it was difficult to determine Gu Qing's true identity, so he frowned, and ordered the two subordinates to go to the tea shop quickly to find the Guo family to recognize people.
"Please wait for a while, you have to confirm your identity before you can be released, where the responsibility is, bear with me!"
Although the royal family is in charge of military power, the richest people in Yunli City are the horse clan, and Elder Guo is rich and bold, and the black cavalry camp has also received a lot of benefits on weekdays, so he spoke a little politely.
"There is work, there is work!" Gu Qing breathed a sigh of relief, and simply lay down on his back, secretly glad that he had picked up a life.
Thinking that the little county lord is still in the Qingfeng Holy Residence, as long as she doesn't run around, there should be no problem, as for the matter of the withered grass, now she can only take one step at a time.
Whether Master Lin is his father or not, in fact, Gu Qing still has doubts in his heart.
He just listened to Cheng Canglan and Gu Jianfeng talk about some stories about swords twenty years ago, and he still didn't know much about the subtle relationship between the four major sword schools.
Moreover, Elder Guo followed Master Feng and spent all his efforts to steal the holy relics from Cangji Cave Heaven, if there was no scapegoat for me, how would they be prepared to clear their suspicions?
They seemed to know in advance, and they could safely block the spring without Lin Shanshan's jade lock, so why did they go to the entrance of the Tianquan Cave desperately to take a look, what were they worried about?
Master Feng's surfing clogs are only prepared for two, and no matter how powerful his skills are, it is absolutely impossible to swim out of the Cangji Cave Heaven, and it is incomprehensible what method he will use to get out.
Gu Qing calmed down, and a series of questions appeared in his mind.
Master Feng wants to swagger out, but it will definitely not work, and he can't stay in the forbidden place of the mountain cliff without coming down...... Well, if it's me, take a Sword Sect disciple hostage, or hide in the Qingfeng Holy Residence to hold the little county lord and ancient seniors hostage...... The Holy Abode of the Breeze?
Gu Qing sat up straight suddenly, his heart pounding.
The gates clicked, and a narrow suspension bridge slowly lowered.
I saw a man and a woman standing on the city wall, smiling and waving to him: "Second Brother Zhang, Elder Guo has been waiting for you for a long time!"
When Gu Qing entered Yunli City, a very short young man ran over and jumped over excitedly, hugged his shoulders, and asked for warmth enthusiastically. And the woman's eyebrows were clear, she looked like a small jasper, a pair of bright eyes swept Gu Qing a few times shrewdly and competently, slowly led a black-maned horse, suddenly jumped on the horse's back, her movements were very beautiful, and she tilted her head and scolded: "Don't speak." ”
Gu Qing was stunned, I haven't spoken yet!
The young man smiled and said, "Second Brother Zhang, Xiao Pepper told you not to speak, I advise you not to talk back." ”
Gu Qing's eyes rolled, the name Little Pepper was a little familiar to him, it seemed that Zhang Huan was wearing a new dress when he was in the Seven Star Pavilion, Guo Feng once teased him Don't get dirty, Little Pepper has a temper, no one can resist!
Well, it's hard to figure out that this little pepper person is as his name suggests, and his temperament is also hot, okay, I'll give Zhang Huan a face, I don't speak.
The people on the street were in a hurry, as if they were worried about whether the water from the heavenly spring would flood into the city.
Gu Qing walked through the streets and alleys behind the butt of the little pepper black horse all the way, and sure enough, he didn't say a word, no matter what the young man said, he just smiled and nodded.
It turned out that Elder Guo knew that Gu Qing was out of danger, so he specially called them to pick them up, the young man's name was Wang Qi, and he was a buddy from the Yipin Fragrant Tea Shop, but he and Guo Feng were actually sworn brothers, and Zhang Huan was the second in rank, and he was the third.
"Haha, why don't you call Wang San?" Gu Qing couldn't help laughing, glanced at Xiao Pepper riding on the horse, and immediately closed his mouth.
"Well, because I have seven flying knives hidden on my body, everyone calls me Wang Qi. ”
Gu Qing was stunned, looked at Wang Qi carefully, and didn't see from head to toe where he could put seven flying knives, what are you kidding, are you a dart in your sleeve?
Gu Qing was a little unimpressed, and saw a large compound at the corner of the street, surrounded by tall stone walls, and a huge plaque hanging in the middle of the eaves, which read, "A Taste of Incense".
Elder Guo was already standing at the door waiting, with a solemn expression: "Second Zhang, the old man has been waiting for you to count the boxes for several hours, so don't delay the caravan's journey." ”
Waiting for Gu Qing to walk into the courtyard of the tea shop, Elder Guo suddenly turned around and said cautiously: "Brother Gu, there are many people on the street, you had better not go out these days, if the Wuqi Battalion is ordered to search the whole city, don't reveal your identity." ”
"What does Elder Guo mean is that I want to pretend to be Zhang Huan all the time?"
"Anyway, Zhang Lao Er is not in Yunli City, I will notify the people of the Kuoma Clan to keep it secret, but there are many disciples of the Sword Sect in the Fenyu Clan, in case Mei Ruoqing refuses to let you go, it will be easy to enter the city and difficult to leave the city. In order to prevent people's eyes, you have to be wronged for the time being, and live in the Little Pepper Building at night. ”
"This, I'm afraid it's inconvenient......"
Gu Qing was taken aback, it seems that Zhang Huan really has a good relationship with Xiao Pepper, in order not to make the people on the street suspicious, I have to live with Xiao Pepper, if Zhang Huan knows about it in the future, the flying gun is flying over, how can I afford it.
No wonder Pepper told me not to talk when she saw me, but I was afraid that she was also very awkward in her heart.
In case Mr. Yakugong rushes in with the little county lord, I can't explain it even if I have a hundred mouths.
Gu Qing showed a hint of embarrassment between his eyebrows, Elder Guo laughed, and said, "As soon as Xiao Pepper says it, you are a big man, but you are a big man, what is there to be afraid of!"
He didn't say a word, pulled Gu Qing into the inner hall, and ordered good wine and food to be served.
A dazzling table of dishes, with good color, flavor and flavor, Gu Qing had never even seen it, and he couldn't help but have a great appetite and devoured it. After he was full of wine and food, he looked at the japonica egg soup that was served, his ears were crimson, and he said politely: "Thank you Elder Guo for your hospitality, I have already eaten a lot of hugs, and I can't drink the egg soup." ”
He remembered Mr. Yaogong's words, if he drank this bowl of perfect tonic soup, he would live in the same room with Xiao Chili at night, and he would probably not be able to sleep.
Elder Guo's eyes rolled, and he said with a smile: "Brother Gu doesn't know, this bowl is called tea juice and fragrant egg custard, which is secretly made of green tea mountain green tea seeds, hehe, only my Guo family can eat it in Yunli City, you really don't want to taste it?"
Suddenly, Little Pepper's voice came from the east yard: "Zhang Er, you die for me!"
Well, I'm the second Zhang now.
Gu Qing said goodbye and walked into the yard head-on, there was an attic wing room in the middle, and there were many exotic flowers and plants planted in the garden fence, and the pomp was very large.
Xiao Chili stood at the door of the attic and pointed to the stove room on the right, Gu Qing pushed the door and went in to see that a steaming wooden barrel had already been prepared in the stove room, Xiao Chili threw over a few clean clothes with a "whirl", and said coldly: "Remember to change your clothes after taking a bath." ”
Gu Qing wanted to say thank you, but Xiao Pepper didn't bother to look at him, turned around and entered the house.
Zhang Huan's clothes fit very well, Gu Qing took off the cloth towel around his neck and washed it first, after taking a bath, he felt comfortable, if there is a bed in front of him now, he doesn't have to be too polite, just sleep first.
Pepper's tone was still very unfriendly: "Let me remind you first, no idle people in the attic can go up, you are not allowed to walk around or talk, do you understand what I mean?"
Gu Qing nodded, you live upstairs and I live downstairs, of course it is best for everyone to draw a good line, at least Zhang Huan will not shoot me with a flying gun in the future.
The living room downstairs is very spacious, there is a five-foot-long wooden chair in front of the window, Xiao Chili is also careful, stacks some furnishings on the ground, and prepares an animal skin blanket for Gu Qing to sleep in the cold.
Although Gu Qing was a little disappointed, he couldn't be too demanding under the fence now, and besides, it was quite polite that Xiao Pepper didn't ask him to sleep on the floor.
Xiao Pepper held an embroidered futon, came down from the attic, spread it on the wooden chair on the other side, blocked Gu Qing's sight with three or four benches, and drew a curtain in the side hall.
What is she doing? She doesn't live in the attic but sleeps in the living room like me, is this to spy on me?
Gu Qing was puzzled, but she didn't dare to ask her, so she had to curl up and lie on the wooden chair.
Outside the window, the twilight was blank, and the garden was silent.
There was no panic on the street of Yun Licheng, it is estimated that the water potential of the heavenly spring water has been controlled, Gu Qing's heart is a little calm, at this time his mind is blank, he doesn't want to think about anything, but his eyelids just can't close.
After some time, he suddenly heard the sound of someone moving in the attic. Then Xiao Pepper's figure moved, tiptoed up, glanced at Gu Qing cautiously, and walked into the attic step by step slowly with his body bowed, not daring to make the slightest sound.
She walks with a funny and cute movement, like a little rabbit.
Gu Qing rolled her eyes, I'll go! It turns out that Xiao Pepper is a delicate man hidden in the Golden House?
