The young scholar from the countryside, originally named Wang Xi, was a county leader in the southeast of the dynasty. The side branch of the Linlang Wang's family, the reason why he lived in the Tiebei Military Town during this period of time, gave people the illusion of poverty, was that on the way to study, in a sudden rainstorm and flood, the scholar and the servants had fallen into the water and were separated, Wang Xi gritted his teeth and continued to travel to the northwest, when he passed through the military town in the east of Xiliang, he also sent a letter to his family, saying that he would stop and live temporarily, waiting for the family to reply, but the road was far away, a back and forth, God knows when he would receive the reply, the post station personnel of the Tiebei Military Town, over time, are familiar with this handsome scholar who came to inquire every three or five times, because of a certain inadvertently helped a small official to write a family letter, and the handwriting is particularly beautiful, the wording is elegant, after being received by the elders of the small official family, they are greatly respected, and finally the little official and a group of colleagues work together to raise money, hoping that Wang Xi will serve as Mr. Sitting in the hall and be the mentor of their children. Wang Xi refused the heavy money offered by those families to teach, but opened a small family school by himself, and the house was located at the corner of Hu Niangzi's alley, the rent was cheap, and the money of more than 20 Mengxue children, including seven or eight families of Tiebei, was more than enough.

Except for the civilian officials of the military town official office, in fact, there is not even a single talent in the entire Iron Tablet Military Town, so Wang Xi suddenly became a sweetheart.

Soon, Wang Xi fell in love with Hu Niangzi and became known to passers-by. So much so that many old customers of the wine shop changed their tricks to tease the woman every time they drank, and deliberately asked her when she would have a noble son with Wang Shusheng.

The woman didn't take it seriously at first, but then she got really tired of it, and gradually became a little annoyed, and finally simply ignored it.

Chen Qingniu went to the wine shop and found that the scholar was also drinking, and now he has been called Master Wang or Mr. Wang, which is not respectful, but a little more ridiculous closeness, and Wang Xi is not a pedantic and dull character, he has come and gone, and has almost become half of the iron tablet people.

Chen Qingniu is still the old rule, when she sat down to drink, Hu Niangzi made a special trip to approach, laughed a few words, to the effect that she asked Chen Qingniu if she dared to let her be a matchmaker, she wanted to introduce a daughter to General Chen. Chen Qingniu naturally didn't agree, and refused with a smile. Most of the women are looking for a topic to greet the polite ingredients, and they don't insist much, I don't know if it is Chen Qingniu's illusion, today's Hu Niangzi, the hospitality is still warm, but invisibly, a little more dignified and graceful, less charming.

Chen Qingniu looked at the young scholar who was drinking leisurely, after the latter found Chen Qingniu's eyes, he smiled and raised his glass in greeting, Chen Qingniu had to smile and raise a glass to return the salute, the two looked at each other, and they drank separately.

Wang Xi came much earlier than Chen Qingniu, and quickly got up to check out and left.

When the scholar and the beautiful woman who sold wine handed over copper coins, the wine shop could not help but laugh and joke. Chen Qingniu also laughed, intentionally or unintentionally, the woman seemed to glance at him, a little helpless.

At dusk, the western sky hangs with large and large fiery clouds, like the most precious and luxurious brocade in the world.

Chen Qingniu squinted and was silent.

There is a brightly dressed girl, riding a horse and galloping wildly, that mount is a genuine Xiliang B-shaped war horse, followed by two handsome women who look like maids, and four or five sturdy slaves with swords and bows. She turned over and fell off the horse, and went straight to Hu Niangzi's wine shop, a middle-aged man stood on the side of the street with his head bowed, she didn't look at it, threw a heavy money bag to the man, strode into the wine shop, and sat directly opposite Chen Qingniu's table, "You are the Chen Immortal Master and Chen Zhenren who live in Huitou Lane?"

Chen Qingniu shook his head and said, "The girl must have recognized the wrong person." ”

She looked Chen Qingniu up and down carefully, "That's right, it's you! Quanqing Nan Nizi secretly painted a portrait for you, I have seen the portrait, and it is seven or eight points similar to you! She is one of the best Danqing in your Tiebei Military Town, and the mural in the City God Temple, "The Picture of the Door God Eating Ghosts", is actually painted by her, don't you know this? She said before that your temperament is a little strange and light, I still don't believe it, but now it seems that it is really a little, if it were someone else, I wish the whole military town heard of his name, you are so ......"

The girl spoke very fast, pouring beans into the bamboo tube, chirping, like a yellow warbler chirping on the branches.

Chen Qingniu asked Hu Niangzi for two bowls of chilled black plum soup, handed one bowl to the girl who finally stopped talking, and asked with a smile: "You have something to do with me?"

The girl hesitated, but still took the white bowl, even if she was quite thirsty, she didn't mean to drink plum soup, she just wondered: "Shouldn't you Taoist priests call themselves 'poor Tao'?"

Chen Qingniu had to smile again and asked, "Girl, is there something wrong?"

Behind the girl, a servant drew his sword out of its sheath and let out a sonorous voice, shouting in a low voice: "Vertical bold! Do you know the identity of my young lady, how dare you be so rude!"

Chen Qingniu was a little helpless, and put down the big white bowl, "The problem is, I really don't know the identity of your young lady." ”

The crowd laughed as they watched the excitement of the drinkers.

The girl sighed softly, her eyes fluttering, and there was some sadness in the autumn and spring.

Chen Qingniu lightly touched his toes, and even brought a chair, and floated backwards imperceptibly.

Almost at the same time, a snow-white light exploded from the scabbard.

Across a table, the knife slashed down at Chen Qingniu's head.

In the Xiliang border, where the people are strong, it is not strange to fight each other with fists and feet if they don't agree with each other, and it may even be common for some people with a bad temper to feel that their thoughts are not clear, and they draw swords to each other, threatening and intimidating.

But it is absolutely rare to kill people without speculation.

It's just that the scene of blood splashing in everyone's imagination did not appear, only to see the more familiar young drinker slowly get up, and the bench under his buttocks has opened up some distance from the table at some point.

The sword-wielding servant was about to move forward, but was blocked by a maid beside the girl, and another maid was protecting the girl, obviously fighting between lightning and flint, and they had already noticed that the young "Taoist" was unusual.

Chen Qingniu dodged two splitting knives and horizontal knives in succession, looked around from the corner of his eyes, and after finding that there was nothing unusual, he said softly: "My current identity is the original military general of the Iron Tablet Military Town, and the official body of the eighth rank of the capital military department. dared to assassinate the military general of the border town on the street, the girl's courage is not small. ”

The girl blinked her eyes and said with an innocent face: "Hmm? I can't hear you very clearly. Anyway, I only know that you are just a Taoist priest who is good at catching demons and eliminating demons, this time I just want to make sure that you have the Guan Mu issued by the Chongxuan Administration, if I find out that you are pretending to be a Taoist priest to deceive, then as a good citizen of Suzaku first-class, I will definitely arrest you!"

Someone in the wine shop soon said righteously, "This female doll is also shameless!"

"I don't know which little girl will plant the portal, it's not like it's from our military town, right?"

"I don't think so, I haven't heard of any girl who is so arrogant, most of them are from other military towns to show off their might. Alas, there is no way, the waist pole of Wu's head is too soft, so that we can't raise our heads in Xiliang Nine Town. ”

A servant girl made a bold move, the steps under her feet were trivial but fast, dazzling, she instantly came to a drinker, the pink and white little palm was so lightly patted, the burly man weighing one hundred and seventy or eighty pounds slammed, flew out, rolled on the street more than ten times before stopping, dusty.

Little Grandmaster Warrior.

The twenty-year-old young woman survived, but she still took the path of cultivating both inside and outside, and reached the realm of a little grandmaster early.

Taken together, these elements are what are really scary.

A single-handedly hero, a local tyrant in a corner, and a thousand-year-old tyrant who is the same age as the country and even the country is still in ruin, the three heroes make judgments.

In the Suzaku Dynasty, some small and medium-sized families, the descendants of the descendants are not talented, and they happen to find that the family has good roots, hoping to seek great wealth through this, so they devote themselves to cultivating, but in the end they raise a white-eyed wolf that is not ripe, resulting in the dove occupying the magpie's nest, and the family name and surname change, there are countless examples of this kind.

Chen Qingniu came to the man's side, the latter sat on the ground and coughed loudly, the injury should not be serious, but the fright was not light, Chen Qingniu squatted down to check his pulse, it was indeed not a big problem, and comforted: "It's okay." ”

The man obviously knew the legendary deeds of the young Taoist priest in front of him, and said gratefully: "Chen Zhenren, thank you." ”

Chen Qingniu stood up and looked at the heroic girl who was showing off her might, "Why don't we talk in another place?"

The girl smiled and said, "Okay." If you really have the ability, you can do it on the bed. ”

Many people in the wine shop gasped, this little girl is powerful enough, she must have been born in the general gate of the military town on the border of Xiliang, otherwise she would never have this spicy energy.

But don't think it's a lucky thing to be looked down upon by this kind of woman. Xiliang's life experience is the most top-notch women, one is more decisive than a killing, love and hate are deep, there was once a wealthy woman in Liangzhou, fell in love with a scholar who traveled to this point, after falling in love at first sight, he did not hesitate to spend a lot of money for him, buy a house, build a library, buy rare books, but one day found that he was actually a gold house hidden, secretly ransomed for a Qinglou Qingqi, that day she asked the servants to tie up the two, personally whipped and tortured the pair of dog men and women, and finally sank the body into the Shang Lake to feed the fish.

Chen Qingniu settled the account first, and found that when he paid the bill, Hu Niangzi quietly shook his head at him, as if hoping that he would not be impulsive and not give the spicy girl any chance to kill the killer. After all, in broad daylight, the Iron Monument Military Town, which has Wu's big head, generally abides by the rules. But if it was in a dark place where there were not many people, with Wu Zhen at the bottom of the Nine Towns of the Xiliangbian Army, no one would believe that Wu Datou would speak up for a dead man and tear his face with the bigwigs of other military towns. Chen Qingniu smiled and signaled that it was okay, but as soon as she took a step, she found that her cuffs were pulled, Chen Qingniu looked back, a little crying and laughing, she grabbed his sleeve and refused to give in.

The girl's sharp eyes caught a glimpse of this scene, and she was immediately angry like a rapist in bed, and said in a strange manner: "Yo, this Iron Tablet Army is quite open, a pretty widow, a little Taoist, openly eyebrows, what, you two have already rolled a sheet at night?"

Chen Qingniu said softly: "Don't worry, my business will definitely be indispensable in the wine shop in the future." ”

Hu Niangzi glared, but also let go of her hand.

Those nearby military town drinkers, but no one thought much about it, as soon as they came to the matter of Hu Niangzi and Wang Xiaofuzi, it was a certainty, and it was estimated that they were about to talk about marriage. Second, this young real person is a frequent customer in the wine shop, has always been a decent gentleman, has a good reputation, and really comes here to drink, not to appreciate the beauty.

Chen Qingniu led the girl and her maid to a secluded and spacious alley, close to Huitou Alley.

Chen Qingniu stopped and asked bluntly, "Say it." ”

The girl looked him up and down carefully, smiling playfully, "What about the little girl with Quanqing's spring heart, I have been friends since I was a child, but ......"

She sold a pass.

Chen Qingniu was indifferent, and he liked to say nothing and had a beaten expression.

The girl was sullen for a while, and said: "But I am close friends with the county lord of Anyang, and we were hardcore friends who fought side by side in our Suzaku capital back then...... Haha, don't talk about this, not long ago, I went to Liangzhou City, and I know that you are the first guest she brought into the mansion, and I heard that you are still a side branch of the wealthy Chen family?"

Chen Qingniu asked rhetorically, "Then?"

Her eyes were sharp, "Then, then this girl wants to know if you kid has the qualifications to be looked down upon by the county lord's sister! I also want to know if you are a big Sui spy who is plotting against her and deliberately approaching her!"

Chen Qingniu smiled: "Of course I'm not a Great Sui spy, otherwise how could someone be assassinated on the Shanghulou boat?"

She sneered: "There are the most hypocrites in the Great Sui, so you can't be a bitter meat trick?"

Chen Qingniu nodded and said, "That's right." Then I don't know how to explain it, but I can be sure that the relationship between you and Zhu Zhenying is not so good. ”

She was silent for a moment, her face was gloomy, and the arrogant and domineering general woman from before changed into a dignified momentum, like the most top-notch monk in the Vermilion Bird Border Pass.

She hesitated for a moment, waved her hand, and all the servants quickly withdrew from the alley, and then she said in a deep voice: "I am the daughter of the main general of Ma Weijun's town. ”

When Chen Qingniu became more and more puzzled, she took out a turquoise sigil, carved with a lifelike unicorn style, the font was simple, and she held the talisman and stretched out to Chen Qingniu.

So Chen Qingniu was even more confused, "What is this?"

Seeing that Chen Qingniu didn't look like he was pretending to be stupid, but he still didn't give up, she asked, "Do you know which two words are engraved on it?"

Chen Qingniu nodded and said, "Nozawa." ”

She sighed, a little disappointed that she couldn't hide, and carefully put away the Qilin sigil, "The surname is Chen, then you should not see anything today, and don't say anything." Let's go. ”

Chen Qingniu bared his teeth, thought about it, it was better to have more things, and left the alley like this.

Although it has been seen that this girl is also a cultivator who should not be underestimated, but since people have given up entanglement, he is too lazy.

The girl frowned and said to herself, "Did I really guess wrong?"

In an instant, the girl's whole body stiffened, as if she was being targeted by a giant beast.

There was only one absurd thought in her heart.

There is a huge disparity in strength, turn around and die!

You must know that although she looks slender and vulnerable, in fact, she is talented and coincidental, she has studied under two masters at the same time since she was a child, a boxing master, and a cultivator, and has also experienced many secret attacks, frontal battles and thrilling interceptions carefully planned by the imperial court. Although he is young, he is a monk Junyan who is quite outstanding in the northwest territory of the Suzaku Imperial Court, and his military achievements have been accumulated, and if he is in the border army, he can almost be promoted to a powerful official and military general from the seventh rank.

So the girl who can make her tenacious heart and rich in actual combat feel so desperate, and the strength of the person behind her can be imagined.

A deep voice sounded, and he sneered coldly: "If you show the Lin Fu without authorization, who gives you the power, it depends on your father? Do you know that if this move is discovered by your colleagues, cutting off your head can be regarded as a reward for military merits!"

The girl with her back to the man, sweaty, gritted her teeth, hoping that she would fight back no matter how she died, but there was only one chance, and she didn't dare to act rashly.

Rui beast unicorn, is the symbol of the Vermilion Bird court, the Zhu Dynasty, has always been to the "unicorn vein" self-style, according to the record of the Taizu of this dynasty, when the Taizu Emperor was born, "the body is covered in scales, the head horns are still hidden, and it has been called the unicorn since childhood." ”

Therefore, the royal mausoleum of the Zhu family is often privately praised as the "unicorn mound" by the barnyard official Yeshi.

The unicorn charm is jointly nominated by the three scholars and servants of the Criminal Department before it can be submitted to His Majesty the Emperor for personal review. A state only issues two talismans, Qi and Lin, and the two people who hold the talisman need to submit a secret fold about the military and political affairs of the state and county every month, and the secret fold is transmitted by the secret flying sword of the palace and directly delivered to the desk of the imperial study of the palace. The people who wear the talisman do not know each other's identities in order to play the role of supervision and balance. The inscription of each unicorn charm is not the same, the capital is the best place in the world, the double symbol is "Taiping, Chang'an", and the jurisdiction of the iron tablet in Longzhou, the two Qilin symbols are "Autumn Hunting" and "Nozawa".

The girl never turned around, she was already sweating, "Who the hell are you?"

The man said indifferently: "You remember, Your Majesty did not give you this Lin Talisman to make you tremble. Next time, I'll kill you. ”

When the breeze blows, the pressure disappears.

The girl who was in charge of confidential military affairs suddenly turned her head and was long gone.

She wiped the sweat from her forehead and smiled, "You are 'Autumn Hunting', our Suzaku is known as the most skilled Qizi, and he is a powerful guy that His Majesty has personally summoned." ”

————

Over at the wine shop, after Chen Qingniu got out and returned safely, he saw a familiar face, a civil official in the courtyard of the opposite door of the alley, with dark skin and a stocky figure, who was once smashed into the wall by Xie Shiji's punch, and at this time this man was standing and talking to Hu Niangzi. After seeing Chen Qingniu, both of them stopped talking, the man sat next to Chen Qingniu, and stopped talking, Chen Qingniu asked with a smile: "Why are you here again?"

The man's voice was angry, "My son-in-law, although the rank is not high, but the identity is relatively special, so we are more cautious, and we actually had no malicious intent last time." ”

Chen Qingniu asked, "It's like the six subjects of Shangshu Province are more inferior and powerful?"

The man was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "General Chen's high opinion." ”

The man didn't seem to be good at words, nor did he smile, Chen Qingniu didn't want to have anything to do with him, so he bought a pot of wine and a bag of sauce and meat from Hu Niangzi, and left.

She also closed the door to thank customers and stopped doing business, the people gradually dispersed, and the man who had finished drinking a pot of wine got up and came to the side of Hu Niangzi who was resting on the counter, and said in a low voice: "That flower thief has already taught the first law." It is reported that he is a cultivator who has traveled to the border of our dynasty from the Great Sui Dynasty, and he is good at moving forward in concealment, and he has committed many crimes......"

She interrupted her words with a smile, and she didn't have too much palpitation, but was a little relieved, "It's good to be dead, I believe that nothing like this will happen again, after all, didn't you say that no matter how many arrows there are on the battlefield, they won't hit the same place." ”

"Tiebei Military Town will not be very stable in the future, you better move to a town further south with them, at least you should leave the border of Xiliang, if you can go to a place other than Xiliang......"

"They'll just go south, and I'm not going to leave here. ”

"Wu Rin!"

"Please call me Hu!"

For a while, the atmosphere between the two sides was solemn, although the voice was very low, but it was obvious that Hu Niangzi was unprecedentedly angry.

There are no more customers in the liquor store.

And at this moment, the man seemed to have been struck in the heart, lowered his voice, and said indignantly: "The orders of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, the appointment of the church, etc., are all there, then it can be regarded as justifiable! What is the same between you and the short-lived ghost? Take 10,000 steps back and say, the baby kiss set by the two families in the early years, you and I all know it, it is just a joke between the elders, how can it be taken seriously?!"

Hu Niangzi was so angry that she slapped her palm on the counter, "Don't say it!"

The man said with a low wry smile: "I know, since you were a child, you only like to pretend to be a reader, and you only like that kind of embroidered pillow......"

Syllable!

A slap fell on the man's face, and Hu Niangzi's face was gloomy and her eyes were cold.

The man took a deep breath and smiled bitterly, "It's me who is wrong." ”

She looked at the man, and there was a small sadness hidden in her eyes.

The good things in the world are not strong, and the colored clouds are easy to scatter and the glass is brittle.

She probably wanted to say something to soothe the atmosphere, but she didn't know how.

He suddenly grinned, and said with a bright face: "This is the Sister Wu in my memory, as long as this does not change...... It's better than anything else. ”

He held back a smile and asked evilly, "The foreign scholar surnamed Wang?"

She glared and said, "What nonsense! How old is it, not serious yet!?"

"If that person really likes Sister Wu, and is willing to treat you sincerely......"

"Stop, stop, don't talk about it! You and I, what qualifications do you have to fall in love? Not to mention ......"

At this, the woman was silent, and lay lazily on the counter, her pointed chin resting on her arms, looking at the lonely street that was gradually thinning out.

She smiled narrowly and asked casually: "What about your son-in-law? Xiaozhu's girl just didn't engrave the word 'like' on her head." ”

The man sighed, "I don't care about that. ”

She glanced at him like a coquettish brother and sister, "Then you don't care about me." ”

The man hurriedly changed the topic: "Let's have another pot of wine, and I want spring apricot brewing!"

She glanced at her, "I really can't live." ”

The man sat alone at the wine table near the counter, drank wine to relieve his sorrows, and muttered: "If the situation is not urgent, then the scholar from the countryside, I really want to get along with him for a while, but since the old monk didn't say anything, I can't see it out of sight and out of mind, and I can save being scolded by you." ”

The beautiful woman who sold wine scolded with a smile: "Hurry up and get out after drinking, get out!"

The man's expression was solemn, "Be careful on the road." ”

The woman straightened her waist slightly, folded her hands, and begged for mercy: "I know, my eldest young master of the Pei family." ”

The man quietly glanced at the full scenery on the counter, trembling, swaying, pitying the taut clothes, his gaze was a little reluctant.

He doesn't seem to be an honest man.

The woman laughed and said, "Control your dog's eyes! Men don't have a good thing!"

The man retorted confidently: "If you can still control your eyes, is that still a man?"

The woman smiled and said nothing.

She looked back at the street.

————

There is an interesting story about a young Taoist real person living in Huitou Lane, which spreads all over the military town.

The originally lonely and deserted Huitou Alley was busy for a while, and the wealthy families who had plenty of money nearby, or the gateways with restless families for various reasons, all came to ask for peace of mind.

After all, the Taoist priest in the Suzaku Dynasty up and down, the status is transcendent, respected, although the Xiliang border seems to be the peak of Buddhism incense, far better than Taoism, but that is the orthodox Taoist priest does not want to come here desolate outside the reason, in the rich area of the state and county, the Taoist priest to do a prayer for blessing and eliminate disasters to set up an altar ceremony, often tattooed silver one hundred taels to start, that is still for the lowest level of Taoists, some well-known Taoist temples of the master, the real person in the prison, it is simply a sky-high price, the key to the problem is that it depends on whether those Taoist immortals can spare time.

Fortunately, Chen Qingniu's pretense was just a beginner Taoist priest who was only registered in the Chongxuan Bureau, and he had not yet been officially entered into the Guan Mu. Moreover, Suzaku does have a wandering Taoist priest, and only after receiving written commendations from two or three local state and county governors can he officially become an official Taoist priest. Chen Qingniu, a quasi-Taoist priest, was in the door of the large and small houses near Huitou Lane, showing people the feng shui of the yin house, writing a piece of Zhu character urn, arranging magic instruments to block evil, etc., very happy, this time Chen Qingniu really resolutely did not accept cash, first, there are many small households, and there is no shortage of cash-strapped families, mostly broken silver and copper coins, and secondly, the two sides are barely neighbors, Chen Qingniu should accumulate merit and good deeds for himself.

So much so that the Xiaozhu Xiaowu sisters were taken aback, only to know that this general master was actually a Taoist real person with great powers, and even Xiaowu, who had a cold temperament, once saw Chen Qingniu in the backyard of an ancient house, holding a pen on those old mottled pillars, and writing a vermilion seal that she couldn't recognize in one go, about seven or eight times later, only to hear the young man in a Taoist robe shout softly, silently reciting "Urgent as a law" , and then the originally gloomy house seemed to be immediately brighter, which made the girl's originally sarcastic eyes have a little more respect.

Anyway, after that, she seemed to be addicted to watching dramas.

There is a short bluestone staircase, about thirty or forty steps, it is quite famous in the Tiebei Military Town, the houses on both sides are also gradually built higher and higher, the poor people are gathered nearby, most of them are lonely and helpless old soldiers, this alley that slopes upward, the name is very big, called Chenglong Lane.

A young Taoist in a delicate and gorgeous Taoist robe, and a young girl as beautiful as a spring flower sat side by side at the top of the stairs, overlooking the side street at the end of the alley.

It is the general of the Iron Monument Cavalry who is not doing his job, and the servant girl Xiaowu who is full of curiosity about "Taoist immortal arts".

Chen Qingniu was a little helpless at this time, and explained again: "Xiaowu, I really don't know those spells that scatter beans into soldiers, I only know that I just use some of the most superficial Danzhu talismans of Taoism, that is, it is a joke, and it is not a matter for you to wander behind me all day long." ”

The girl's hands and ten fingers were intertwined, twisted together, slender legs, stretched straight forward, looked into the distance, and said in a flat tone: "You, a military general in a military town who leads the army, have not been to the military camp for so long, pretending to be a ghost in the military town all day long, and I don't feel that 'it's not a thing', I follow your ass, and I don't tear down the stage or make trouble, what's wrong?"

Chen Qingniu sighed, he really couldn't beat and scolded this child who had inexplicably become his own oil bottle, and the reason didn't make sense, and he was completely out of line. She squatted at the door of her house almost every day and waited for the rabbit, patiently waiting for the Taoist priest Chen Zhenren to "go out of the mountain", and then watched Chen Qingniu "subduing demons and subduing demons", or "pretending to be a ghost", anyway, the girl deliberately kept a straight face and was silent from beginning to end, but in fact, her eyes were shining and her eyes were radiant.

"Are you annoying me?"

"Nope. ”

The girl tilted her head: "Really?"

Chen Qingniu said sadly: "I'm very annoying to you, but your cheeks are not necessarily thinner than me." ”

The girl nodded solemnly, and smiled and showed playful tiger teeth: "It's the same." ”

What kind of son, maid, general, maid, maid, and maid, those nobles and lowly are strictly hierarchical, and the girls don't seem to feel anything.

The two fell silent.

The summer was scorching, but fortunately, the two of them sat in the shade at the base of the wall, and they didn't feel how hot it was.

There were two people's footsteps, stopping on the steps of Chen Qingniu and them two levels down, and one of them asked with a smile, "Huh, Chen...... Dao Chief, such a coincidence?"

Chen Qingniu raised his head, greeted with a smile, and said, "Mr. Wang, Mrs. Hu, such a coincidence." ”

Sir, Mrs., are the honorific titles for men and women in the world nowadays, and the two may not necessarily be husband and wife, but they can just be used together, and it is more appropriate.

The prince who was full of wealth, after hearing this title, really smiled even more.

And the beautiful woman who sells wine should not understand the relationship between literature and ink, and she can't understand the mystery, her expression is as usual, and her face is not ugly, but compared with the courteous smiling face of the past, there is a contrast, which gives people a vague feeling that she is not in a good mood.

Probably about to hug the beauty back, he suddenly opened up a lot, and Wang Xi, a scholar with a delicate heart, immediately explained the reason for his trip with her, which roughly means that there are several lonely old people living in Chenglong Lane, and Hu Niangzi has some relationship with them, and will go to their house every once in a while to sit, and will send some silver money during the New Year's holidays. In one of the families, there was only a blind old woman left, and the old woman had always mistakenly thought that her son, who followed the rich family of the military town to Zhaozhou to do business more than ten years ago, got married there. Hu Niangzi has been taking care of the elderly all these years, and after Wang Xi became a private school teacher, he will have a lot of extra income, such as writing deeds, weddings and funerals, etc., after he has money, he also has a lot of help for many poor families.

Although the border military town is said to be fierce and brave, it is actually simple, so Wang Xi's actions quickly gained favor.

Chen Qingniu said with a smile: "Mr. Wang, he is really a good person." ”

The girl pursed her lips, her face was slightly pale, and sweat oozed from her forehead.

Chen Qingniu noticed something unusual, "Not feeling well?"

The girl slammed to her feet, ran down the steps, and hurried away.

Chen Qingniu rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

After that, the woman and scholar Wang Xi continued to walk down the steps, and Chen Qingniu, who was sitting on a high place, subconsciously looked at her back, never thought about it, and as a result, she couldn't take her eyes off it at all.

She walked down step by step, naturally causing her waist to shake every time, and she was the kind of plump woman who was blind and could see that she was a good child, although her clothes and skirts were deliberately sewn to be particularly wide, they still looked tight and bulging.

Without warning, she quickly turned her head.

Chen Qingniu also raised his head with lightning speed and looked at the sky.

Soon, Chen Qingniu knew that this time, there were no three hundred taels of silver here.

Somewhat annoyed.

But the next moment, his eyes widened.

After the woman turned her back and left, she saw a slender waist that seemed to be held in one hand, graceful and twisted, more and more moving, and full of charm.

————

Chen Qingniu sat for a long time before ...... Dare to get up.

Shaking his head all the way, sighing.

Turning back to the entrance of the alley, Chen Qingniu saw a middle-aged Taoist sitting on the steps, glaring at him.

Now that the Taoist priest has not had a good face when he sees Chen Qingniu every time, he naturally will not pretend to be a superior person and copy those poems and phrases taken from books.

Chen Qingniu looked down at his Taoist robe, a little funny, the business of a fake person is so much better than a real Taoist priest, it is indeed a little unkind, so he stopped, smiled and took the initiative to greet him: "Dao Chief, take advantage of the cold?"

The middle-aged Taoist snorted coldly.

Chen Qingniu cheekily continued to approach, approached the side of the steps, tilted his head, lowered his voice and said, "Dao Chief, I have something to ask for......

The Taoist sat on a high place, looking down at this young man who was already half famous in the military town, his eyes were full of sarcasm and pity, " Little liar, although the poor way is not as good as your tongue lotus, and you don't know those crooked and evil ways, which are used to deceive the ignorant people, so the Taoism is not obvious, so you have to be abducted and deceived everywhere, but the poor road is a veritable orthodox Taoist priest after all, and it is a real person recognized by the Chongxuan Department of the imperial court, so the poor road wrote a letter of revelation a few days ago, and it has been sent to the Truth-seeking Institute in Liangzhou City, I believe that soon there will be a real person from the precepts of the Thunder Punishment Division to arrest you and escort you to the capital to be punished!"

Chen Qingniu frowned.

If what the Taoist said is true, then it is really a trouble, not big, not small, and very disgusting.

The Chongxuan Department of the Suzaku Dynasty is a behemoth, which is not lost to any of the six yamen, only the relevant institutions of that gate, which can be roughly divided into three bureaus, six courtyards and twelve divisions. The three bureaus are the Law Urn Bureau, the Danding Bureau, the Dao Bureau, and the Copper Furnace Division, the Jinke Division, the Jade Law Division, the Beidou Division and the Qingci Division, including the Twelve Divisions, the Qiuzhen Academy and the Thunder Punishment Division are among them, especially the latter, which belongs to the very few special agencies in the Chongxuan Department that have independent law enforcement, and have the right to act cheaply from the emperor.

Of course, Chen Qingniu was not worried about pretending to be a Taoist priest, and he would be convicted by the Vermilion Bird Imperial Court, as long as he brought out the identity of Guanyinzuo Keqing, and gave the Zhu Imperial Court a few more dares, he would not dare to ask Chen Qingniu for his crimes.

It's just like a son of Zaifu, who goes to the local government to be an official and accumulate the reputation of the people, if there are trivial things every once in a while, they all need the help of the family behind them to deal with it and clean up the mess. Moreover, no matter how prosperous the incense is, no matter how full the affection is, it will eventually be exhausted.

Chen Qingniu was a little depressed, originally thinking about having a relationship with the Taoist today, and then publicizing it to the outside world, and this Taoist priest belonged to the same generation brothers under different Taoist branches in the Chongxuan Department, so after Chen Qingniu divided some "stolen goods and money" and allocated them to the middle-aged Taoist, it was all justified. I didn't think that I just wanted to express kindness, but I was slapped in return, which made Chen Qingniu a little crying and laughing, as the old saying goes, people are good and are bullied, probably because this middle-aged Taoist saw that he was young, and he lived in a simple place, and he didn't know the weight of his iron tablet general, so he had a bad heart.

Chen Qingniu hadn't yet become murderous, but he couldn't help but feel a little murderous.

This is because he has experienced the tragic battle on the battlefield, and his body is soaked with a strong murderous aura that has not faded.

The middle-aged Taoist priest didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and he was still proud of the victory.

A calm and peaceful Buddha chant sounded softly, dissipating the tense atmosphere of murder, "Amitabha." ”

The old monk stood behind the middle-aged Taoist and said in a calm tone: "Master Chen, and relax, there is no pen and paper in the temple, so ......"

The Taoist stood up in a hurry, pointed at the old monk's nose and jumped to his feet and scolded: "Old bald donkey, you will also tear down the stage for your own family!

The more the Taoist spoke, the more angry he became, he stomped his feet one after another, and said in annoyance: "A boiled duck can also fly away!"

The old monk clasped his hands together at the middle-aged Taoist and said with a smile: "The poor monk has no extravagant expectations for food, clothing, housing and transportation. If you are the benefactor, when you really concentrate and meditate, I believe it is tantamount to a real person feathering and a layman ascending to immortality......"

The Taoist glared and said angrily: "Nonsense! Nonsense! Old bald donkey, don't be smiling and generous!"

This pair of old enemies who live under the same roof have started again.

Chen Qingniu left silently and walked into the depths of Huitou Alley.

The alleys, quiet and peaceful.

Mood, ups and downs.
