Chapter 31: Entering the House
Zhao Ping, who realized that he might have been sold by Qi Yufei, wanted to turn around and run away, but was stared at by Qin Yu behind him. There is nothing to be done about this little spy Zhao Ping, and now he can only talk to Feng Dong according to Qin Yu's instructions before.
Zhao Ping didn't know what to call Feng Dong, so he just hugged his fists and said: "This lord, the grass people came to deliver the worship post on the order of Qi Yufei, the young owner of the Sword Villa, and the young master of Qi will come to visit the chief soldier Feng in the General Soldier's Mansion tomorrow."
The young owner said before I came that the young owner was a junior and should personally visit his uncle after coming to Tianxia Pass, but it was difficult to come immediately if he had something important. I ordered the villain to come and send a worship post first, and after the matter was dealt with, I would come back tomorrow to disturb it. β
Feng Dong also clenched his fists and saluted and said: "It turned out that the master of the Famous Sword Villa was rude, and Feng couldn't afford to be a young man." I'm just a personal guard next to the chief soldier, and after joining the army for several years, I'm just a low-ranking military attache, and I can't afford to be called an adult. β
Where did Zhao Ping dare to accept this, he didn't know the situation here, and if he didn't say a good word, he would offend people. Directly handed over the prayer post in his arms with both hands.
Feng Dong also smiled and took the salute with both hands, and at this time, of course, he also saw the somewhat dazzling belt on Zhao Ping's waist. However, Feng Dong didn't say anything, didn't even show the slightest abnormality, but beckoned Zhao Ping and Qin Yu into the General Soldier's Mansion.
Zhao Ping naturally didn't want to enter the General Soldier's Mansion, but with Qin Yu staring at him behind him, he had to fall into the tiger's mouth.
The interior of the General Soldier's Mansion is not as luxurious and atmospheric as it seems from the outside, and even in terms of the status of the General Soldier in Tianxia Pass, this mansion is a little shabby.
Feng Yue has been in office for more than three months, and it is impossible that he will not have time to clean up his mansion, so it can only be said that he did it on purpose.
An official who likes luxury and enjoyment, although he is most despised and hated by the people, is the most favorite thing to see by martial arts people. These corrupt officials are not only a weapon for young heroes to rob the rich and help the poor, hoe the strong and help the weak, and brush up their reputation, but also an important object for various sects to win over.
After all, the problems that can be solved with money are not problems, and this kind of people who can't be solved with money are the most troublesome people. Feng Yue obviously belonged to the latter, which made the purpose of Qi Yufei's trip even more difficult to achieve.
Because a man who doesn't like money and doesn't like women, then what he has plans must be great. It's not even a small Famous Sword Villa that can be satisfied, even if he has received the favor of Famous Sword Villa before, but in the eyes of those in power, the so-called kindness is just a joke.
Qin Yu and Zhao Ping were taken to the side hall by Feng Dong to take their seats, and as soon as the two of them sat down, a maid brought them tea. Although the tea is not a good tea, and the tea set is just ordinary, the maid's technique of making tea is extremely superb, so that this ordinary tea drink has a lofty feeling.
Qin Yu was calm and drank the tea in the cup one by one. Although Zhao Ping was nervous, he didn't dare to show it, and pretended to be calm like Qin Yu. After Feng Dong led the two of them to the side hall, he left with Qi Yufei's greetings.
I don't know how long it took, the tea bowl in Zhao Ping's hand bottomed out, and Feng Dong followed a middle-aged man into the side hall. The middle-aged man is tall and has long arms, but his appearance is ordinary, judging from his clothes, he should be a middle-level military attachΓ©, at least higher than Feng Dong's status.
Qin Yu and Zhao Ping hurriedly got up when they saw someone coming, but they didn't know the identity of the other party, so it was difficult to speak, or Feng Dong took the lead in introducing:
"This is Wu Shixun, the commander of the chief soldier's personal guard, and General Wu came this time to take the two of them to meet the chief soldier. β
Qin Yu and Zhao Ping hurriedly greeted Feng Dong's introduction, Wu Shixun waved his hand casually, signaling that the two of them didn't have to be like this, and said with a smile:
"The two of them have worked hard from afar, and they should have rested here for a while, but the chief soldier heard that the owner of Qi Shaozhuang had come to Tianxia and was very concerned.
But the owner of Qi Shaozhuang will only come to the house tomorrow, so he ordered me to take the two of them to meet the chief soldier, so as to learn more about the recent situation of the owner of Qi Shaozhuang and the famous sword villa. β
actually wanted to meet Feng Yue directly, this was something Qin Yu and Zhao Ping didn't expect, I'm afraid Qi Yufei didn't expect Feng Yue to meet the two of them before, or to see Zhao Ping, after all, on the surface, the two were headed by Zhao Ping.
Qin Yu and Zhao Ping didn't dare to refuse, so they wanted to follow Commander Wu to see Feng Yue, and at this time Wu Shixun said:
"Wait a minute, the two young heroes, the General Military Mansion has the rules of the General Military Mansion, and strangers are not allowed to bring weapons when they meet the Chief Military for the first time. Let the two of them wear swords into the General Soldier's Mansion, it is already for the sake of the face of the owner of the Famous Sword Villa and Qi Shaozhuang. β
After saying that, two people came in from outside the door, and it seemed that they had come in to collect weapons. The person had to bow his head under the eaves, and Qin Yu obediently untied his sword and dagger and handed them to the soldiers standing aside.
Zhao Ping didn't care about this, he didn't know martial arts, and the only important thing was hidden under the bed in the inn room. And the long sword on his waist has never been pulled out once, and it is better to hand it over when he wears it, anyway, the chief soldier will not be greedy for his own things.
After the guards took away the weapons in the hands of the two, Feng Dong and the middle-aged man came to Zhao Ping and Qin Yu respectively, saying that they were offended, but they did not slow down and directly began to search Zhao Ping and Qin Yu's bodies.
Qin Yu had already prepared for this and didn't care, and stood there generously for the other party to inspect. Zhao Ping was touched up and down by a big man, even if he was awkward in his heart, he just secretly muttered a word and didn't dare to show it, and even Zhao Ping had to pretend to be calm, which was really troublesome.
Feng Dong checked very carefully whether Zhao Ping was carrying other things, and when he took out the Qiankun bag from Zhao Ping's arms, Zhao Ping's face couldn't help but change, and was noticed by Feng Dong, who didn't care about the Qiankun bag.
The hand holding the Qiankun bag paused in the air, then withdrew and opened the Qiankun bag, pouring out a talisman and a small porcelain vase from it. This ordinary peace charm is a substitute for death, and the small porcelain bottle contains the myelin cleansing pill.
Feng Dong didn't care about the death talisman, he just thought it was an ordinary peace talisman. On the contrary, he was very curious about the myelin cleansing pill, uncorked the bottle and smelled that there was no smell, and shook the bottle There should be a pill in it.
Feng Dong was also embarrassed to pour out the medicine in front of Zhao Ping, so he asked: "What kind of medicine is this, why does it not smell at all, could it be said that it is a secret medicine that kills people and steals goods, steals jade and steals incense." β
Zhao Ping knew that Feng Dong was joking, so he smiled awkwardly and explained that he had an old disease, which was the medicine he took when he was sick, and in order to ensure that the medicine was not lost, it was relatively well-made and had no smell.
Feng Dong smiled and shook his head, obviously not believing it, but he didn't ask too much, put the small porcelain bottle back in the Qiankun bag, and returned it to Zhao Ping along with the talisman.
After the inspection was completed, Zhao Ping and Qin Yu were taken by Commander Wu to meet the chief soldier Feng Yue. To say that Zhao Ping's heart was not nervous at this time, it was impossible.
Even if he pretended to be calm, his body began to feel a little stiff, and he didn't know anything about the so-called Famous Sword Villa and Qi Yufei, who had only known him for a day. When the time comes, if you don't know what to ask, even if there is Qi Yufei's prayer post, you will be killed as a spy.
Zhao Ping glanced at Qin Yu and found that the other party followed him without saying a word, and there was no abnormality in his expression. Zhao Ping thought that he was confident, but in fact, Qin Yu was also bitter in his heart now, thinking about how to get out of it.
It's a pity that last night's mission failed, if there is a foil in the General Army's Mansion, why bother falling into a dilemma.
The two were taken to the main hall in the backyard by Commander Wu, and the first person to sit upright in the main hall was Feng Yue, the chief soldier of Tianxia Pass. Neither Qin Yu nor Zhao Ping had ever seen Feng Yue, but Qin Yu had seen Feng Yue's portrait and recognized each other's identities at a glance.
Qin Yu was worried that Zhao Ping would bump into the adults without knowing the etiquette, and he received a boxed lunch in advance, which was affecting himself. Before entering the door, he briefly explained the matters that civilians and officials should pay attention to in this era. Now Qin Yu stretched out his hand to pull Zhao Ping, and the two of them knelt on one knee together and said that they had seen adults.
Zhao Ping knelt on the ground and peeked at it, Feng Yue looked like he was in his forties, burly and not very tall, but he looked very powerful.
Feng Yue looked at Zhao Ping condescendingly for a few seconds, his eyes paused on the belt for a moment, and then he asked the two of them to get up and excuse themselves. Feng Yue's voice sounded very gentle, not as stern as it was.
After letting Qin Yu and Zhao Ping sit down, he ordered the others to leave, leaving the two of them alone in the hall. Qin Yu thought that Feng Yue would ask about Zhao Ping's belt, and Qin Yu would also selectively reveal something to Feng Yue.
But before Feng Yue could say a few words to the two, he suddenly spat blood from the chair and planted it on the ground, his eyes were closed and he was already unconscious, and the sudden change made Qin Yu and Zhao Ping at a loss.
