Chapter Ninety-Nine: Bamboo Shadow (1)
After the north returned to calm, the Yumen Pass became unimpeded again, and our group of seven passed the pass very smoothly. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
At this time, there was a slight change in direction, and we went to the first city under the Yumen Pass, Cloud City.
Rest here for the whole night and nothing unexpected happens.
The next day, Heibai went to buy a horse, and I rode separately from Zixin, and then we continued south, and three days later, we arrived at Luodu.
"Wow, this is Luodu?"
When Zixin asked, I could only pout, raised my finger and pointed to the two words written above the city gate, and said, "Oh, don't you see it yourself!"
"Humph!"
As soon as I finished speaking, she gave me a hard look, turned her head away, and stopped looking at me.
I feel that I am quite out of tune with this girl, and as soon as I open my mouth, I let this girl pout her mouth and look unhappy.
Hei Bai came out to make a round at this time, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, Luodu is a good place to be prosperous, let's hurry up and take a look!"
It's a pity that the angry girl is completely unreasonable, which the black and white kid is far from realizing.
Hearing Hei Bai say this, Zixin glanced at him again, lightly clamped the horse's belly between her legs, and walked into the city.
Faced by Zixin's cold face, black and white seemed a little unclear, so he looked at me with a slight hint of help.
I smiled, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Boy, the girl's mind is the most difficult to guess, so let's study hard!"
After saying this, I didn't care about him anymore and followed Zixin into the city.
After I left, the black and white boy in the back was stunned for a long time before following us in.
Even after the war, Luodu was still prosperous, and the streets of the city were full of people, peddlers and pawns, shouting and selling.
Sensing that the Four Heavens Hades had been following Zixin, I didn't pay much attention to her and began to look at the scenery of this Luodu.
It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, it also makes me see a person, a very interesting person.
The bamboo leaves of the bamboo family!
Now it seems that this Zhu Yeqing can be regarded as my old friend, after all, we met when we were in Fencheng.
At that time, we happened to be involved in the struggle for power in Fencheng, and the result was that the Zhu family represented by Zhu Yeqing won the victory.
is not only Zhu Yeqing in Fencheng, but also Zhu Yeqing's uncle in Liuyun City, and he, like Zhu Yeqing, seized control of Liuyun City.
From the very beginning, I didn't understand this kind of thing, a family member has nothing to do, but dare to seek control of a city, isn't this looking for death?
But after meeting the Silver-Haired King, I kind of understood that the Bamboo Family was definitely a very powerful family, and maybe Great Qin itself wouldn't do too much to them, and it was also because of this that the Silver-Haired King and Mantianxing would stop me from killing Zhu Yeqing's uncle.
Now that I met Zhu Yeqing in Luodu, I was really interested, so I drove my horse to Zhu Yeqing to see where this guy lived.
It has been nearly two years since the first meeting in Fencheng, and Zhu Yeqing no longer remembers me, and when his eyes swept to me, he did not pause.
He was on horseback, walking slowly down the street, his eyes still scanning, as if trying to find something.
I used to ride a horse, but then I got off my horse and followed him on foot.
After wandering around the city for a long time, he suddenly seemed to have found something, and then rushed into an inn called Fengqing.
I found his place to live, and I was about to leave, but just as I was about to turn around, I saw Zixin coming on horseback.
Seeing me here, she asked, "Are we going to live here?"
I was about to shake my head, but when she asked, she didn't listen to my answer, and had already turned over and dismounted, handed the horse to the waiter on the side, and entered the inn.
Seeing her go in, I actually feel quite helpless, Zhu Yeqing is here, is it really good for us to live here?
However, now Zhu Yeqing doesn't know me, and it's more convenient for me to live here to spy on him, so let's stay here.
As for when I want to see Emperor Yu and my mother, I can go to meet alone at night, anyway, black and white and they don't go with me.
Just thinking like this, the black and white kid had already come from a distance, riding a horse, slowly.
Glancing at him, I just smiled, gave the horses to the waiter at the inn, and went in first.
When I entered, the breath of the Four Heavens Hades also came to the inn, and it looked like it surrounded this place and absolutely protected the safety of the young lady.
The Four Heavens Hades King was really dutiful, so I smiled and didn't speak.
"Guest officer, please inside, I don't know how many of you?"
After sweeping my eyes, I didn't see Zixin, so I asked, "Little second brother, where did the girl who came in just now?"
He was stunned for a moment and said, "Guest officer, I don't know what you are asking about that girl?"
When he asked me like this, there were some changes in the way he looked at me, which made me feel very uncomfortable, probably because he didn't have anything good in mind.
I explained, "I'm with that girl, and there are a few more in the back, so you can find me three rooms with her!"
He seemed to understand, nodded at me, and said, "That girl lives in the No. 1 room of the earth, so I will open the No. 2, No. 3, and No. 4 rooms for the guest officer, and live for a total of one penny of silver for a day." ”
Hearing him say a penny of silver, I immediately laughed, of course, not at him, but at Uncle Fifteen.
I still remember that when we first met, Uncle Fifteen asked me for the money for the house, saying that they would pay one or two silver a day to live in the upper room.
One or two is ten yuan, if Uncle Fifteen really opened an inn at this price, the inn is estimated to be finished long ago.
Then again, what kind of place is Qingshui Town, there are actually no people in the town, and Uncle Fifteen just opened an inn there, and now he knows that there is a problem at a glance......
"A penny, huh?"
Repeating it in my mouth, I subconsciously made the action of reaching out for the money, but the action was only halfway done, I was stunned, and the hand that was stretched out also stopped, dumbfounded.
I don't have any money on me!
Slowly retracting my hand, I smiled awkwardly at the little second brother, and I was already yelling in my heart, black and white, you guy, come over quickly!
Looking at me for a moment, the little second brother seemed to realize something, smashed it, smashed it, and said, "Guest officer, you shouldn't have no money, right?"
"Hey, hey, this ......"
It's really embarrassing, I can't cry when I encounter this kind of.
Fortunately, the black and white kid finally came in and said, "Uncle Shi, have you already found a room?"
Glancing at him fiercely, I said angrily, "Come and pay!"
The little second brother said, "What, you know?"
I nodded and said, "If you want money, you can go to him, he is my disciple." ”
A little suspicious, Xiao Er turned to Hei Bai and said: "Three local number rooms, live for a day of silver, please pay the bill, right?"
Who knows, this kid was expressionless, and the dead pig was not afraid of boiling water, so he spread his hands and said, "Uncle Shi, I have no money, and all the money I brought with me is used to buy horses!"
I suddenly felt only sadness in my heart, he actually bought a horse and spent all the money, does this still want people to live?
I really couldn't stand it, so I could only say viciously: "If you can't come up with the money, how about mortgaging your valuable things here?"
With a frightened face, he looked at me and shook his head, and said, "Uncle Shi, this is unacceptable, the only valuable thing on my body is this sword!
Seeing him say this, I immediately laughed and said, "Okay, then that's it." ”
I turned to the little second brother and said, "Little second brother, how much do you think he can mortgage?"
The little second brother looked at me helplessly, and said, "Guest officer, don't make fun of me here, what's the use of our inn asking for him? Didn't you say that you knew the girl before, just go and ask that girl!"
It's really a word to wake up the dreamer, Zixin has already paid for the house, it can be seen that this little girl is a very rich woman, just asked me to ask her for money, this ......
With a roll of my eyes, I thought about it and said, "Heibai, why don't you go?"
His head shook like a drum, and he said, "Uncle Shi, this kind of arduous task is still for you to get old, the disciple is not good enough, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it." ”
"Hehe......"
At this time, a person came down from the stairs and asked, "Little second brother, what's wrong?"
I inquired about the prestige, and it was actually Zhu Yeqing.
Xiao Er immediately said: "Guest officer, these two guest officers happened to have no money with them, so they couldn't pay for the room." ”
When he heard the second brother say this, his eyes swept over to me and the black and white face, and stayed on my face for a while.
When I saw him looking at me, I couldn't help but pray secretly that he wouldn't recognize me, or I wouldn't be able to hear anything of value.
I was a little panicked, but I didn't show any flaws on my face, and I smiled gently at him to show some kindness.
Nodding his head to me inexplicably, he said, "Little second brother, I hit it off with these two at first sight, and their house money will be recorded in my account!"
"Okay!"
After getting Zhu Yeqing's instructions, the second brother immediately took out the three keys and gave them to me, and said, "Guest officer, this is the key to the three rooms in the local name, you can take it." ”
After receiving the key from the little second-hand, I nodded to Zhu Yeqing and said, "Thank you." ”
Zhu Yeqing also smiled and said, "Under Zhu Yeqing, I haven't asked the names of the two yet." ”
may be because of the soft mouth and short hands, Hei Bai said very positively: "My name is Hei Bai, and this is my uncle......"
"My name is Long Xing!"
Before I finished speaking, I cut in and said this, and at the same time gave Black and White a look of confusion.
Zhu Yeqing was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "Brother Long, I don't know if we have met, why do I feel that you are a little familiar?"
Seeing him say this, I immediately smiled and said, "Brother Zhu, it's not just you, I see that you are becoming more and more familiar, as if you have seen it somewhere!"
"In this way, Brother Long and I should have been friends for a long time!"
"Haha, that's true!"
I was very helpless and embarrassed, and he didn't remember my identity after all, which made me feel a little relieved.
After breaking up with Zhu Yeqing, Hei Bai couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart anymore and asked, "Uncle Shi, why are you hiding your name from Zhu Yeqing?"
Looking at the black and white, I was speechless: "He is a member of the Zhu family, and you don't know what kind of existence the Zhu family is, but his appearance here may not be so simple, I need to investigate!"
"When I first came out of the mountains, about two years ago, I met him, and I still remember him, but he doesn't remember me anymore, so I'm going to hide my name and identity. ”
"Oh......"
Nodding a little clearly, he stopped bothering about the problem between me and Zhu Yeqing, took a key from my hand, and went to his room.
Standing in front of the door of the room, I looked up to the third floor, and the third floor directly opposite my room was where Zhu Yeqing lived, Tianzi Room No. 7.
"Zhu Yeqing, let me see what tricks your Zhu family wants to play!"
......
