Chapter 2: First Encounter
"Let's rest here today!"
Looking at a small town from afar, Huang Qi decided to live here today. www.biquge.info The sun is setting, and if you don't spend the night in this town and then go on a journey, you may not find a place to stay. There is no hurry to go to Mingjiao, and there is no need to rush to the road.
Although the town is small, it is also lively, exotic, and has a unique atmosphere.
In this kind of town, don't think about living in a big restaurant or inn, Huang Qi doesn't have to live in the best place, he found a small inn and stayed there.
"Longxing Inn!"
Looking up at the plaque, Huang Qi tied the horse rope outside and walked in.
Seeing Huang Qi coming in, Xiao Er greeted him: "This son, do you want to stay in the hotel?"
"Stay in the hotel, leave tomorrow morning!" Huang Qi replied, pointed to the door and said: "My son's horse must be well served, remember to have good feed, if you suffer a little grievance, you must be good-looking." ”
"Yes! Yes, Son!" Xiao Er hurriedly nodded.
"One upper room, boil some hot water, and my son will take a bath first!" Huang Qi said and threw the silver ingot to the shopkeeper.
"Okay!" the shopkeeper replied and went busily.
After the shopkeeper was dealt with, under his leadership, Huang Qi followed him to the second floor. This small inn is only two floors, and there is no backyard or something.
"Master, I'm dying of pain, Master, please... Please, kill the apprentice, Master!"
As soon as he went to the second floor, Huang Qi's ears moved slightly, and he heard a woman's painful pleading, but the place where the sound appeared was the innermost part of the room.
"Minjun, I can't do it for the teacher!" a lamentation sounded.
"Minjun, it can't be Ding Minjun, right?"
Hearing the voice behind him, Huang Qi's heart couldn't help but move, could this Ding Minjun be the Ding Minjun of the Emei faction? If that woman is really Ding Minjun, isn't her master the extermination master?
"Childe, this is your guest room!" the shopkeeper interrupted Huang Qi's thoughts.
"Master, please, please kill me!"
Listening to Ding Minjun's painful pleading, Huang Qi glanced at the guest room about five meters in front of him, and asked Xiao Er, "Xiao Er, what's going on?"
The shopkeeper replied: "The female guest officer said that she had a minor illness and had already asked a doctor, and she would be fine soon." ”
Huang Qi frowned slightly and said, "Are you sure it's just a minor illness?" And it won't be the disease caused by staying in your inn here?"
Hearing this, the shopkeeper hurriedly said: "Son, this has nothing to do with the inn, the female guest officer also just checked in today, it was fine, but after going out before, she became ill." ”
"It's good that it has nothing to do with your inn!" After knowing what he wanted to know, Huang Qi nodded, didn't ask again, and asked Xiao Er to bring the boiling water, and then let him leave.
"Did you pass out?"
Entering the room, after hearing a muffled snort, Ding Minjun's pleading voice disappeared, and Huang Qi instantly thought that it was the exterminator who had fainted his disciple.
After a stick of incense or so, the shopkeeper brought up the hot water.
After Xiao Er left, Huang Qi took a good bath. I didn't say it, walking the rivers and lakes outside, and it was the most comfortable time to do so.
After taking a bath and leaving the room, Huang Qi saw that the door of the room where the voice came from before was closed, so he ignored it, went downstairs directly, found a table, ordered some food, and ate alone.
A person chewed slowly, and after two quarters of an hour, Huang Qi got up after eating enough and walked towards the outside of the inn. It was already night, and there were far fewer pedestrians on the streets.
This town is not too far from Yumen Pass, located in the Western Regions, and the Central Plains has a lot of differences, although the Han people still occupy the majority here, there are also many people from the Western Regions. And the so-called people from the Western Regions, from a modern point of view, are actually Xinjiang people.
Although Huang Qi stayed in Lanzhou for a short time in his previous life, he had never been to Xinjiang, let alone seen the ancient Western Regions culture, so he took a good stroll around the town.
Compared with the daytime in ancient times, the liveliness of the night is obviously much worse, unlike the previous and modern times, at night, it is more lively than during the day, and people mostly go out to play at night.
The town is not big, Huang Qi bought a few special gadgets, half an hour passed, and then returned to the inn.
"Son!" Huang Qi had just returned to the inn, and the shopkeeper greeted him.
"Something?" Huang Qi asked aloud, if this is okay, the shopkeeper has no reason to come to him.
The shopkeeper bowed down and said: "So that the prince knows that the female guest officers upstairs are so fierce and have weapons on their bodies, and just now they escorted a male and female guest officers who live in the small shop to the second floor." The little one was afraid that the prince would be involved, so he came to inform him. ”
"A man and a woman?" Huang Qi was stunned when he heard this, and then asked: "That man, is his legs and feet inconvenient?
"How does the prince know?" The shopkeeper was stunned, unable to understand how Huang Qi knew about those two men and women. You know, the two sides have never met.
"Is it really them?!" Looking at the expression of the shopkeeper, Huang Qi knew in his heart that his guess was right, and those two were the two he guessed. And these two people are here, plus Ding Minjun's situation, it is obvious to tell him one thing, that is, the major event of the six major factions besieging Guangming Ding, just recently.
took out a piece of loose silver, Huang Qi threw him to the shopkeeper, and in his happy thanks, Huang Qi took out a piece of silver again, shook it in front of the shopkeeper's eyes and said, "Xiaoer, do you want to make a lot of money?"
"Yes, yes!" shopkeeper swallowed and nodded hurriedly. The ingot of silver that Huang Qi took out, to say the least, was ten taels, which was more than ten times more than the six or seven coins of silver he had just rewarded, so he couldn't be moved.
"Just think about it!" Looking at the excited red face of the shopkeeper, Huang Qi smiled slightly, beckoned the shopkeeper aside, and said, "What this son wants you to do is simple, and you don't need to take any risks." As long as you go to the government to report the case, saying that there are people in the rivers and lakes making trouble, and when the government sends someone over, the ingot of silver will be yours. ”
"Report the case?" The shopkeeper's face was bitter, and he shook his head and said, "Son, you can't make any money with this silver!"
Seeing this, Huang Qi asked, "What's the matter, what's the problem?"
The shopkeeper didn't dare to say bad things about the Great Yuan Imperial Court, and said hesitantly: "If you report the case, you need to do it up and down!"
"So that's the case!" Hearing this, Huang Qi was speechless, this corrupt official was really met by him. If you report a case, you have to go up and down, so if you have a lawsuit, how much will it cost?
"Okay, since it doesn't work, forget it!" Huang Qi waved his sleeves and walked towards the stairs. He just thought it was funny, and wanted to attract Mongolian soldiers after reporting to the official to see the excitement. Since it doesn't work, then forget it.
Looking at Huang Qi's back, the shopkeeper didn't regret that he didn't earn such a big ingot of silver, which was a pity.
On the second floor, Huang Qi saw two women standing outside the house, guarding with swords.
Walking not far from the two women, Huang Qi bowed and saluted: "Two girls, this is polite!"
Seeing this, the two women looked at each other, and one of the taller women held her sword and hugged her fist and said: "This son is polite, I am waiting for people in the rivers and lakes, I don't know how to be polite, I hope don't be surprised!"
Huang Qi smiled when he heard this: "So that the two girls can know that they are also from the rivers and lakes, but they can't compare to the two heroines, and they can only do some superficial fist and foot kung fu." ”
"Is Childe also a person in the rivers and lakes?" Another woman said in surprise, obviously not seeing that Huang Qi was a person in the rivers and lakes, looking at his dress, saying that he was a son, no one would not believe him.
Huang Qi waved his hand, looked at the closed door, and asked: "I don't know what the two heroines are?" ”
"Emei faction Li Mingxia!" "Emei faction Zhao Lingzhu!"
Mutual Dao sect, these two women looked solemn, obviously not daring to embarrass their own sect.
Huang Qi's face was full of surprise, and he complimented: "It turned out to be a heroine of the Emei faction, I was lucky to see it, and I was lucky to have three lives!"
"Huang Gongzi is polite!" Listening to Huang Qi's compliment, Li Mingxia was slightly embarrassed.
Crunch!
The door was opened from the inside.
"Such a beautiful woman, compared with Ren Yingying, but each has its own merits!" Looking at the face that appeared in front of him, Huang Qi sighed in his heart, such a beautiful woman, except for Zhou Zhiruo, he would not feel that it was someone else. After staying with Ren Yingying for a long time, he also has resistance to beauty, at least after seeing it, although he is surprised, he will not show his pig brother's appearance.
Zhou Zhiruo said softly: "Two senior sisters, the master asked you not to make a noise and disturb, the needle is being administered inside!"
Hearing this, Li Mingxia and Zhao Lingzhu stuck out their tongues, and Li Mingxia whispered to Huang Qi: "Huang Gongzi, there is a senior sister I sent to be injured inside, and now she is healing, but it is inconvenient to speak out, please forgive me." ”
"But I'm bothering you, so I'll leave!" Huang Qi clenched his fists and apologized, nodded at the two girls and Zhou Zhiruo, and turned to leave.
After Huang Qi entered his room, Zhou Zhiruo asked out loud, "Two senior sisters, do you know him?"
"I just met!" Zhao Lingzhu replied in a low voice: "This son's name is Huang Qi, and he is also from the rivers and lakes, although he only learned the family tradition of fist and foot kung fu." Because he doesn't look like a person in the rivers and lakes, the name of this young man is not easy to call. ”
"Oh!"
Zhou Zhiruo nodded, closed the door, turned around and walked back to the bed inside.
Before Zhou Zhiruo walked to the bed, a woman lying on the bed leaned back and vomited out a mouthful of black blood, and then slowly lay down.
"Minjun!" Seeing this, the forty or fifty-year-old nun was in a hurry, reached out and grabbed the placket of a man sitting on the edge of the bed, and said angrily: "Good boy, you dare to assassinate the old nun's apprentice!"
Seeing this, Zhou Zhiruo was secretly anxious, walked over quickly, and was about to speak, but saw that Ding Minjun's face on the bed had improved a lot, and immediately said, "Master, senior sister seems to be much better!"
When the exterminator heard this, he looked at it, and sure enough, Ding Minjun, who was lying on the bed, looked much better, and immediately asked, "Minjun, how do you feel?"
Ding Minjun reluctantly smiled and said, "Master, the disciple is much better!"
The man sitting on the edge of the bed said loudly: "Mrs. Shi, when the kid prescribes a prescription, her health will get better faster!"
Hearing this, the exterminator immediately let go of the hand that was holding the man.
Seeing that the exterminator was too loose, the man glanced at Zhou Zhiruo and walked to the table on crutches, but his right leg was injured.
At this time, a woman with an ugly birthmark on her face walked to the table and looked him up and down, obviously not expecting him to have such ability. These two people are Zhang Wuji and Yin Li, because Yin Li poisoned Ding Minjun with thousands of poisonous hands, and the two were arrested by the exterminator, if Zhang Wuji could not detoxify, the two would have died at this moment.
After knowing that Ding Minjun was fine, the exterminator let go of the worries in her heart and asked aloud, "Zhiruo, why did a voice come from outside the door just now?"
Zhou Zhiruo replied: "Back to Master, there is a fellow Jianghu who happened to stay at this inn, and saw the two senior sisters guarding the door, so they came over to say hello." ”
"But the people of the Demon Sect?" Exterminator's first thought was whether the other party was a spy from the Demon Sect and came to find out their itinerary.
Zhou Zhiruo hesitated when she heard this, shook her head lightly and said, "It shouldn't be, that person is dressed as a handsome son, and he shouldn't be a person from the Demon Sect." ”
The exterminator nodded indifferently and said, "Don't be careless, but don't wronged good people." You go and hire a carriage, and tomorrow everyone will get up early, leave here early, and go to the First Line Gorge to meet with the factions. ”
"Yes, Master!" Zhou Zhiruo replied and called a senior sister to go out together.
After Zhou Zhiruo went out, the exterminator said to Zhang Wuji and Yin Li: "You two will follow Lao Ni and the others for the time being, if Min Jun is fine, I will let you two go at that time." If something happens to her, you two will bury her together!"
Zhang Wuji and Yin Li didn't dare to object, so they had to nod. The former felt that if he went on the road with the Emei faction, he would be a little happy to see Zhou Zhiruo; Yin Li was resentful because the exterminator had killed the poisonous spider she used to practice, but the exterminator was too strong in martial arts, and she didn't dare to say it in line with the principle of not suffering immediate losses.
