Chapter 802 Chapter 802: Wang Ji's subordinates 【Ask for a monthly ticket】
Official road, tea shop.
The landscape here is slightly different from that of the Northwest Continent.
The wind in the Northwest Continent is like a burly and strong man, full of rough strength. The wind here is hot and sticky with a little moisture, like a foreign woman wearing a mysterious mask and making vicious shots. The noon sun was extremely hot.
In the corner of this cold tea shop, a tall and strong man dressed in coarse linen rolled his Adam's apple a few times, and drank a bowl of tea that was bigger than his face. After drinking the tea, the heat in his body dissipated a little, and he put down the pottery bowl.
"Store, add another bowl."
The shopkeeper of the tea shop was resting his chin with one hand, and half-closed his eyes with a sleepy expression. Hearing this sound like thunder, he woke up instantly. Just about to get angry, when he saw the man's physique and fierce expression, he swallowed in fear, and obediently refilled his tea.
The tall and strong man happily drank another bowl.
He pulled his collar and cursed under his breath.
In this season, the temperature in the Northwest Continent is still hot and cold, but here it is already extremely hot and humid, and the exposed skin is also covered with a thin layer of sweat. At first glance, it looks like it has been waxed. If the wind blows the dust, the fine dust in the air will stick to the skin. At this time, rub it with your fingers again, and you can rub off a gray-black mud, and there is an unspeakable sour smell of sweat.
"Not enough, add another bowl."
Drank seven or eight bowls in a row before stopping.
The shopkeeper of the tea shop was suffocating, but when he saw the broken piece of silver that the man took out from the skirt, he immediately smiled. The man fanned the wind with his bamboo hat in one hand, while inquiring about news from the shopkeeper of the tea shop. For the sake of money, the shopkeeper knows everything.
The tall and strong man asked simple questions, just asking questions such as what the royal family's surname is now and whether the situation is peaceful.
These problems are known to ordinary people.
The shopkeeper of the tea shop answered one by one.
but-
"Listening to the accent, the guest officer is a local, right?"
Tall and strong man: "Well, a local, I just left my hometown for many years to work hard, and I just came back after receiving an urgent report from my family recently."
The shopkeeper of the tea shop lowered his voice: "I see that the guest officer has an extraordinary bearing and is not like ordinary people. I dare to tell you the truth - if there is nothing important to do, you should leave here as soon as possible after finishing the work. In recent years, there have been wars and conscription everywhere. If a guest officer like this is discovered, he will definitely be taken away!"
Fighting wars and catching strong men are basically used as consumables.
The tall and strong man smiled: "The shopkeeper is not afraid of being arrested?"
The shopkeeper of the tea shop said: "Don't be afraid, the confession is made."
Some sects are willing to spend money to be exempted from being confiscated, and if there is no money, they can use food instead. The relatives of the tea shop owner had some connections, but others didn't have such good luck. For several years of fighting here, soldiers were conscripted for several years.
The lower and upper age limits for conscription are constantly refreshed.
It is hard to see young people on the street now.
The tall and strong man said: "If you are arrested, you will be arrested. Anyway, you used to do murder. Thank you for your concern."
After finishing speaking, he inquired about some things with the shopkeeper.
When the sun was slightly westward, he grabbed the bamboo hat and put it on his head, walked out of the tea shop, and stepped into the scorching sun.
The frequency with which he opened his legs was not high, but every step was several feet away, and he disappeared after a while. The shopkeeper stared blankly at the back of the man going away, secretly speechless - a person with such supernatural powers must be a warrior!
The shopkeeper's previous worries were unnecessary.
The man didn't know what the shopkeeper was thinking. After he left the tea shop, he drove for two days. If he hadn't used martial energy to block the rain, he would have been drowned, but he would have been in a mess.
I haven't showered for a few days, so I have a sour smell all over my body.
Finally, I saw a city.
He doesn't have a guide certificate, and his real identity is still a wanted criminal, so naturally he can't enter the city swaggeringly, just sneak in directly with his ability. He found a house with the best construction in the city, borrowed the well water from the mansion to take a bath, and stole a suit of clothes.
Judging from the size of the male host’s clothes, the other party’s physique is much smaller than him, but the clothes of rich families will choose large quantities, and he can barely fit them in. He put on his clothes, touched some silver and was about to leave, but an accident happened.
There was a sound of footsteps coming from the corridor outside the house.
Several maids said in unison: "Madam."
Then another soft female voice was heard.
"Is there a greeting card in the house today?"
The maid replied: "Return to madam, there is no greeting card."
The sound of footsteps gradually approaching, the man said troublesomely, and immediately turned over to hide on the beam. The next moment, the door creaked and was pushed open from the outside. A few graceful figures fell into the room, and several maids filed in. Those who burn incense burn incense, those who make tea cook tea, and the maid goes to clean clothes behind the screen... It seems that this posture is preparing to serve the lady to take a bath.
The man on the beam was silent for three seconds.
"ah-"
Behind the screen, the maid exclaimed.
"What's wrong?" the lady asked softly.
"Husband, madam, it seems that the house has been burglarized."
The woman known as Mrs. got up and walked quickly to behind the screen. The stolen one was a set of men's clothing. This maid is responsible for arranging and taking care of the clothing and jewelry in the wife's room. She can find anything with her eyes closed.
At the moment, there is a missing set of men's clothing.
Madam calm: "Look, what's missing."
The maid searched and soon found the answer.
In addition to that set of clothes, there is still some silver taels missing.
These taels of silver are used by Madam to reward servants on weekdays. Although there is only a handful missing, it is difficult to find compared to that small box, but the maid has a habit, she likes to stack the silver rewards layer by layer Get up, neatly looking comfortable.
At this moment, the rewards are in chaos.
The guard maid's face turned pale with fright.
Just as he was about to salute and plead guilty, he heard his wife's voice say gently: "If there are no other stolen items, then don't worry about it. There are many people who live in hardships in this world. That person may be forced to be cornered before he becomes a thief. Since there is nothing People were injured, and there were not many things lost, so let’s forget about it.”
The maids were very grateful when they heard this.
"Prepare water, it's getting hotter and hotter today."
Because the summer here comes early, wealthy families put on light summer shirts early, and this lady is the same.
This woman looks very young, her skin is delicate and white, she should not be very old, but her eyes are full of romantic charm that cannot be ignored. This kind of charm is obviously not something that a woman in her teens or 20s can have. Her age is hard to guess.
The lady was sitting on the side of the table by the leaky window. While the maid was fetching water to prepare for a bath, she opened a book and read it carefully. Her expression was focused, and the time passed quickly. When I came back to my senses, the maid was ready, and half a bottle of toilet water and fresh flower petals were added to the bathtub. The maid wanted to help her undress, but the madam smiled and said, "Go down, you don't need to wait."
All the maids didn't ask why, and Fu stepped back.
After a while, only the wife was left in the house.
No, it should be two people.
She raised a pair of beautiful eyes with a slight smile, and looked at a certain place in the beam with clear eyes and confidence: "The little girl is considerate of the difficulties of the strong man's life, and will not report to the officials... This strong man is still here, and he has defiled the little woman." Clearing the name, wouldn't it be revenge for kindness?"
The man sitting on the beam: "..."
He guessed that these women were ordinary people and couldn't see through his traces, so he used tricks to hide his body, and planned to wait for the woman to enter the bathtub before leaving quietly with the maid.
Guess—
I seem to have made a wrong judgment.
Mrs. said: "Won't the strong man come down?"
The brawny man finally responded, but his words and tone were very frivolous: "I have been a gentleman on Liangshang for a while, so why not be a petty picker of flowers again? Why don't you repay your kindness? Why don't we talk about the real 'kindness' on the bed?"
The smile in Madam's eyes instantly turned to ice.
She raised her hand and slapped the beam of the screen, and drew out a bright long sword with a swipe. Her eyes were dark and she said, "Are you courting death?"
Seeing this, the strong man stopped pretending completely and showed his figure.
When the wife saw the appearance of the strong man, her heart sank.
She couldn't see the real strength of this person, not even the energy of heaven and earth fluctuated in the air, but this gentleman on Liang was obviously not an ordinary person. This can only prove one thing, his strength is far superior to his own. Today is a hard stubble...
Madam was frightened, and the strong man also had a sullen face.
The two faced each other with a distance of more than ten feet.
Long time—
The strong man moved his gaze down from the woman's face, and then moved back to the face after a glance—the women here are all dressed in tube tops, long skirts and long shirts. The atmosphere is open, and the tube top is placed lower. Whether it's real or fake, you can tell at a glance.
So, the lady in front of me is really a woman.
A woman who opened up the Dan family and condensed her literary heart!
The burly man frowned tightly with his thick black eyebrows, as if he was thinking whether he was still in the Northwest Continent, or had already returned to his homeland. If it is the motherland, how can there be female scholars? He was in a trance for a moment, but the woman did not act rashly.
He asked: "Are you a woman?"
Mrs. said: "What about women?"
The strong man fell into silence, and it took a while before he spoke: "My surname is Qi, and my name is Cang. I passed by here accidentally, and I didn't intend to disturb the master's house. I don't mean any harm to you. You can put down the sword in your hand. If the old man has malicious intentions, what can you resist? ?”
Madam knows that Qi Cang's words are not false.
After a quarter of an hour—
The two sat opposite each other and cooked tea, and there was no tension at all.
Qi Cang carefully looked at the woman across from him, and asked, "From your accent, old man, you shouldn't be a local?"
"Well, many years ago, I followed my brother to avoid disaster and settled here."
Qi Cang asked again: "Northwest?"
Madam nodded: "That's right."
Qi Cang asked again: "Then are you from Heyin County, Longwu County, Sibao County or Minfeng County?"
Compared with the vast Northwest Continent, these four places are small and not well-known. Madam stopped pouring tea, raised her eyes to look at Qi Cang, with doubts and inquiries in her eyes. Qi Cang understood this reaction.
He grinned involuntarily.
muttered: "The road to Yuanjia is narrow..."
She was puzzled: "The little woman was indeed born in Sibao County, but the enemy's road is narrow... Where did the strong man start?"
Qi Cang took a sip of his drink: "literally."
Mrs. continued to make insinuations.
"Why can the strong man guess the ancestral home of the little woman?"
Qi Cang said: "Because you can practice."
Madam frowned: "..."
She discovered that she was able to cultivate a few years ago, but at that time she was already beyond the age of enlightenment, and her body carried too many acquired mundane filth, she could hardly feel the flow of heaven and earth, let alone contain them into the body.
It's just that she was lucky.
Accidentally got a rare baby.
It is said that it can eliminate the turbidity accumulated in the body for many years, and she relies on this thing to accumulate a little bit. Huang Tian lived up to the krypton gold man, as long as she dropped enough precious medicinal materials, it would really allow her to get what she wanted and condense her literary heart smoothly.
Only she knows the hard work and painstaking efforts.
The words of the man in front of him seemed to be hiding a secret.
She calmly said: "The two are not necessarily related."
Qi Cang said: "Yes, the lord I served before was killed by the sheriff of Longwu County. What's interesting is that this person is also a woman. She also has a lot of female literati and warriors under her tent. What do you think? Is there any connection?"
Madam was frightened at first, she didn’t know that besides herself, there were women who could cultivate, and then she was puzzled: "...But, the little lady was born in Sibao County, not Longwu County..."
Can't hit eight poles, right?
"The governor of Longwu County captured Sibao County. It was a matter of last year, but you said that you could practice a few years ago, which is somewhat different from what the old man thinks..."
Mrs. : "…"
The sky was getting dark, Qi Cang had no intention of moving his butt, Madam had no choice but to take the initiative to invite him to stay in the mansion for a few days, and said: "The clothes on the strong man's body don't fit, if you don't mind, let the embroiderer of the mansion do it for you again." make a body."
Qi Cang also didn't see the outside: "It's okay to make a new one, the old man is wearing your man's clothes, it will inevitably cause misunderstandings."
Mrs. said: "Not at all."
Because there is no male master in the house.
Qi Cang discovered this very early on.
Although there are several sets of men's clothing in different seasons in the master bedroom wardrobe, there are no traces of wearing them, and they are all new clothes. Apart from these, there are no traces of male activities. Qi Cang only thought of her as a widow, didn't pay attention to it, and fell asleep with her head on the pillow.
It was night, but the lady went out.
Command the groom: "Go to the official office."
Accurately speaking, it is the Wangji Mansion that has been entrusted here.
She always felt that the name Qi Cang was very familiar.
"Qi Cang...Qi Cang...this man's surname is Qi?"
The interior of the official office is brightly lit.
She was rummaging through a pile of letter files.
An hour passed in the blink of an eye, and she found nothing. At this time, there was a woman's teasing from outside the door, and she smiled brightly: "My darling, didn't you go back on duty? When did you work so hard and come back on duty at this point?"
Mrs. : "...Your Highness, find someone."
The person who came came swayed with swaying steps, and the lady did not lift her head.
"Who are you looking for? Tell me, I'll find someone for you."
Madam said: "Qi Cang."
The woman she referred to as His Highness let out a "huh", turned her head and asked, "Qi Cang? Why do you have nothing to do with him?"
Madam was surprised: "Your Highness knows?"
His Royal Highness covered his mouth and smiled stupidly: "Oh, this person surnamed Qi, going forward for more than ten years, is there anyone in the whole country who doesn't know him? But, you haven't said why you suddenly asked him?"
Mrs. said: "I have something to do."
His Highness sat sideways on the table, leaning back with his right hand propped up: "If you want to find him, you have to ask Hades if he is willing to accommodate you."
Madam frowned: "What do you mean?"
His Royal Highness said: "He has been dead for many years. If you dig in the mass graves outside the city, you might be able to find his whole family."
Mrs. : "…"
Could it be the same name and surname?
A coincidence?
