son-in-law

In the night, the lights and shadows are confusing, and the market is noisy.

In the Yinqiaofang Night Market, with the interweaving of human voices, the flagpoles of "Bamboo Records" and "Hua Tuo's Rebirth" have been erected, and a variety of items are dazzling on the grocery stalls converted from horse-drawn carriages.Breastplates looted from the battlefield, simple knives, unbreakable gold and silver necklaces, jewelry, jade pendants, and exquisitely carved wooden boxes were mixed together with needles and thread, ancient books, and various miscellaneous books.

The slender and handsome young man was entertaining female customers who came over in front of the stall. Holding a folding fan, he tried to recommend a dagger and a novel to the other party.

"...Actually, in such troubled times, even a woman should have some self-defense methods, especially if a woman can learn martial arts, it is even more admirable. As in these years in the south of the Yangtze River, the most The famous chivalrous woman is Yan Jiuniang, who is for the country and the people and does not give up on her husband. I only found out when I came to Fuzhou that her deeds were recorded by Mr. Songshan and have been circulated. It is really gratifying... If this girl is interested, You might as well buy this book and take a look at it, besides, what is held in Yan Jiuniang's book is the short sword in my hand..."

"This... this is so short, isn't it a dagger?"

"No, it's a dagger. I'd like to ask the girl to borrow a piece of hair, so you can see the edge of the knife..."

The two people in front of the booth chatted and chatted, and after a while, another girl watching from the side came over: "My lord, may I ask... is the story of Yan Jiuniang really true?"

I got the smiling response from the elegant young man: "That's right, it's true, it's true."

"Ah, I don't even know..." The girl blushed at the young master's smile.

The grocery stall with good business is connected to the rice cake stall run by a fat aunt, and then there are fried fish stalls, glutinous glutinous rice stalls, mask stalls, sugar man stalls, etc., and on the other side of the street, there are relatively larger shops facade.During this period, the busiest one was the "Xiang Jia Cong Shi" not far away that sells wine, ice cream, snow soaked water and all kinds of food. Every night, the lobby on the first floor of this rather large store is crowded with people, lively Very.

In the past, there were cold drinks sold in summer in Wu Dynasty, but there was no mature ice-making technology at that time. In Bianliang and other places, the cold drinks sold in summer in some big shops were all ice cubes stored in winter like big families. At that time, things were rare and expensive.In the early years, Zhuji was spread out everywhere, and the technology of saltpeter ice making was explored and matured. When it came to Fuzhou, Junwu vigorously promoted commercial facilities in order to promote the development of technologies such as nitrate making and gunpowder. It was a hot and humid night in Fuzhou. At least the price of ice has fallen to the point where ordinary people can afford it occasionally.

Qu Longjun was left in front of the grocery stall to cheat women to make money, and Ning Ji wandered around, so he went to the "Xiangjiacongshi" hall where there are more people in the market to drink cold drinks and eavesdrop on various affairs in the world.After a long time, he took a bowl of ice cream and trotted back to the booth, while letting Qu Longjun eat the ice cream made from goat's milk, while telling her anecdotes about Fuzhou.

"Hehehe." He said enthusiastically, "The little emperor of Fuzhou is also a prostitute."

Ice cream is quite similar to the ice cream of the later generations, but it melts faster in the current environment. Qu Longjun took a small spoon and ate two mouthfuls gracefully, then raised his head: "...huh?"

"Hehehe... I just heard over there that the emperor has recently been choosing a wife... no, choosing a concubine. I heard that there was a lot of commotion, and many people were alarmed..."

"Then choosing a concubine, why is he also a prostitute?" Qu Longjun took a bite.

"Isn't it always said in the book that the emperor's selection of concubines is no different from robbing civilian women! Besides, Wu Dynasty's family property was almost wiped out. He came to Fuzhou and said that he would work hard to rule. Zhenxing, he chose a wife in the blink of an eye, hehe, this is not a prostitute!"

"No, I want to ask, then why are you so happy, and why is he 'also' a prostitute? Who was the previous prostitute?"

Qu Longjun is dressed in men's clothing, she looks handsome and elegant from a distance, but when she gets closer, she can see her sly eyes and cute fox-like smile at the corner of her mouth. The ridicule and joke: "You, you, you...you rebel, you, you..."

The voice was raised, and the fat aunt at the rice cake stand not far away poked her head over: "Hey! Who wants to rebel?"

Ning Ji turned around: "It's none of your business!"

"Hmph!" The fat aunt made a slight provocation and shrank back.

"Don't be angry, don't be angry..." Ning Ji raised his hands to his chest, and then slowly pressed down on his dantian. He glared at Qu Longjun, who opened his fan and laughed softly, "I'm a prostitute, Alright——I am a five-foot obscene demon!"

"If you talk about this again, I will beat you!"

"Then you can beat it when you go back, you can't beat it outside."

"you……"

Ning Ji wanted to ask if it was a question of where to lie, but Qu Longjun was shameless, he opened his mouth wide for a moment, then turned his head away, feeling his face burn.

Qu Longjun laughed and sat down beside him. She sat next to him and continued to eat ice cream with a calm smile.

In the noisy night market, people come and go.

After sitting like this for a while, Ning Ji found a topic again.

"Hey, tell me, why didn't anyone come to find fault with the name of our bamboo recorder?"

"I don't know either." Qu Longjun tilted his head, pretending to be stupid, and after a while, he spoke again.

"However, I guess, it might be like this... The relationship between Fujian's revitalizing imperial court and the Southwest has always been somewhat ambiguous. According to the gossip, the current His Majesty and the Eldest Princess seem to have been taught by Mr. Ning... ..."

"This is true." Ning Ji nodded.

"So this matter is complicated. When Mr. Ning killed the king, it seemed to the people of the Wu Dynasty that he was rebellious, but no matter whether it was hatred or fear, the people here must admit that Mr. Ning is powerful. Now, Your Majesty, who has been punished by Mr. Ning I teach that many people expect him to have the ability of Mr. Ning, but this matter cannot be said on the surface. His Majesty is the orthodox of the Wu Dynasty, and his name is to be sworn to death with him... As a result, grievances and enmities intertwined. Southwest's attitude is mostly that they can't brag, and they don't want to be insulted."

"Well, back then, his father seemed to have said that he wanted to make friends with the Southwest, and then a minister ran into him and died on the Golden Luan Hall."

"So, it's not easy to brag on the public face, and I don't want to insult. Officially, I can only turn a blind eye to the Southwest affairs. We have come along the way, and we will talk about the Southwest affairs everywhere we see, or like Mr. Dai Mengwei. They may scold them, or use tiger skin as a banner like the Fair Party, but when they get here, they may not mention things in the Southwest if they can't mention them, and don't talk about them if they can. Ordinary people should know about the Huaxia Army, but As for Zhuji in the Southwest, the newspapers here will rarely mention it, and most people probably don’t know about it.”

"...So that's the case. But...someone will know, right?"

"Didn't a few people look at it a few more times in the past two days, but I don't know why, and they didn't say anything strange. I'm afraid the attitude of the higher-ups is very strange."

"Uh-huh."

With Qu Longjun's explanation, Ning Ji had a rough outline of the matter.Planting this rebellious flag was not because he had any far-sighted plan, it was purely the result of a brain twitch and thought it rhymed. Now he knew that this flag might not be suitable, but he didn't have any inspiration to modify it. He thought about it in his heart, I can't help but sigh how big the world is. The mountains and rivers that have traveled three thousand miles along the way have different faces everywhere. Running away from home this time is indeed the most correct plan.

They set up stalls and sell things in the night market, and when it was late at night, they drove back with Qu Longjun. During their time together, they occasionally bickered and fought.

They got along for a long time, and now they have their own yard, Qu Longjun no longer had the slightly repressed caution and fear in the past, Ning Ji discovered that her temperament is actually not dull.She reads a lot, and also has her own talents. She dabbles in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, paper-cutting and poetry. His words made him feel flushed and overwhelmed. Of course, he actually liked this feeling quite a bit.

After setting up stalls at night, when there was no rain in the daytime, the two began to discuss and wander around. They "inspected" several large markets, visited the three lanes and seven alleys, ate various snacks, boarded After leaving Wushan, the words "Long Aotian and Monkey King came here for a visit" were engraved on the stone near Daoshan Pavilion.Ning Ji began to feel that the life of traveling in mountains and rivers was quite happy, and his ambitions were wiped out, and all kinds of thoughts of "joining in the fun" almost fell to the lowest point for a while.

He was even thinking very rationally whether he should take down the troublesome slogan "Bamboo Marker".

On May [-]th, the fifth day since the two set up a stall in Yinqiaofang.In the Yinqiaofang night market, Qu Longjun dutifully fooled the suspected wealthy female customers in the past, while Ning Ji walked around where he could see the stalls, eating and drinking.Around Xu time, there was a faint commotion in a block not far from Yinqiaofang. The policemen nearby knocked on the iron gong for warning, and then Ning Ji heard a sentence from a distance in the night: "... ...Where to run..."

The voice of the person who made the sound seemed young, but his internal energy was already very mixed, and he would rather avoid the blood in his body surging. If it was normal, he would have to go to see who the young master who could make such a voice would be, but at this moment, he just returned to Near the booth, he signaled to Qu Longjun not to be surprised.

The commotion lasted for a while in the distance. It seemed to be the arrest of some thieves. Ning Ji couldn't see too much excitement standing nearby. He didn't wait until Chen Hua, a member of the Guitai League with a fierce appearance, passed by nearby. Grabbing the other party's collar: "What's the matter?"

Although he pinched the other party when he first arrived here, Ning Ji has high martial arts skills, and his personality is not awkward. On the first day, he was given off, and on the second day he took the other party to eat a bowl of sour plum soup, and the two sides became friends. "Irreversible" friend.At this time, Chen Hua was obviously watching the excitement from a distance, and when Ning Ji grabbed him, he immediately put on a smiling face: "Hey, Brother Sun."

"What's the matter?"

"Arresting people, fighting, fighting, my God, they are all murderers..."

"The murderer...then did you return to the Thai League?"

"What Brother Sun said, we belong to the Thai League, a place to live, you see, returning means going home, and Thai means peace, as the saying goes..."

"Okay, okay, let's get down to business." Ning Ji felt a headache when he heard the other party start reciting, "Just now someone yelled loudly with a broken gong, what's going on."

"Ah, this is amazing, Brother Sun..." Chen Hua walked to the side, pulled a chair from a nearby stall and sat down, "Yue Fei, General Yue, did I tell you?"

"Yeah." Ning Ji also sat down.

"General Yue's daughter, did I tell you?"

"Well...but it was a man just now."

"The son of General Yue told you..."

"What are you..."

"Hey, don't hit, don't hit, Brother Sun, isn't it just what I said earlier?" Chen Hua laughed, "Didn't something big happen in Houguan County at the end of April? It was said that there was a gang of thieves, Framed Zhong Ergui, who was a soldier—of course it’s hard to say whether it was framed or not, but the sons and daughters of General Yue insisted that they were framed, and they went to Fuzhou Mansion to appeal for grievances, causing the governor to be very troubled. On the other hand, The siblings started arresting people in the city, no, before the middle of the month, many green forest tyrants who came from other places were captured by the two siblings, urging their lives, Yasha evil ghost, this is..."

"Then tonight is..."

"Isn't it because someone is being targeted? Ah, there is no sister here this time, only the bully Yue Yun. Let me tell you, Brother Sun, it's not me, Chen Hua, who picks things up. No matter how strong you are, that Yue Yun, you are born with supernatural powers, your arms are thicker than your legs, and you can even knock down houses with your hands... You see, I told you earlier that at the end of last year, the two siblings were fighting in Fuzhou. The elder sister is fierce, she can point a long gun to the point, and the younger brother is a puncher, tsk tsk, who wouldn't be beaten by him until his nose is blue and his face is swollen... Sigh, everyone is having a hard time these days anyway..."

"You all go home to the Ping An League, what's wrong with you, and I won't arrest you..."

"That's hard to say, Brother Sun, I, Chen Hua, don't have much ambition, but I can't say anything about the business above, it's inevitable that it's a matter of licking blood..."

Chen Hua picked a problem, but Ning Ji was very calm when it came to martial arts. He had no emotion at all about his bragging about Yue Yun. On the morning, he told Qu Longjun the news he had inquired about.

Qu Longjun is now playing the role of Long Aotian, a hero of the rivers and lakes, and he uses the stories of chivalrous women to fool people into buying daggers all day long. After hearing these things, he is a little curious: "I don't know that Miss Yue Yinpingyue, how good is her martial arts?" How high."

Ning Ji thought for a while: "If I really fight with her, it will probably be [-]-[-]."

In the past, he had heard a few comments about the son and daughter of General Yue from his parents.Family background, skill is also the ultimate among peers, carefully measured, probably the level of junior high school sisters, black girls and others, I was suppressed by age in the past, and I couldn't beat them, but I have traveled for more than a year and experienced various things in Jiangning. After this kind of training, the strength of the body has also increased, and if it is really going to fight now, it may not be much worse.

The two chatted casually for a while, but they didn't think that what happened next had anything to do with them.But not long after, a great accident came rashly.

In the middle of the hour, the commotion on the other side of the night had stopped temporarily, and some arresters quickly arrested people, and they were heading back from the direction of Jinyin Bridge.When all kinds of news came, some people said that there was a big arrest in the distance, and there might be some escaped fish outside, so Ning Ji didn't go around to eat and drink, and stood guard behind the booth with Qu Longjun.

At three o'clock in the morning, a sneaky figure passed through the pedestrians and walked into Yinqiaofang - I don't know why, the other person's pace was normal when he looked carefully, but Ning Ji subconsciously felt that the other person was sneaky.He glanced at the man a few more times.

The man's eyes were also scanning the surrounding movement, and he was about to walk past the grocery cart. For some reason, he stopped suddenly, and his sneaky aura disappeared for a while.

The man looked at the flagpole on the roof of the car, stood still, looked at it again, then took a few steps back, and subconsciously put his hands on his hips, his eyes puzzled.

Ning Ji stretched his neck at the back of the car and looked at this person. Their gazes intertwined for a moment, both hesitant, stunned and unbelievable. The other put down his hands on his hips, began to narrow his eyes, and came towards this side.

Ning Ji shrunk a bit, revealing half of his head. The next moment, half of his head disappeared. He shrank completely to the back of the carriage, but the figure squeezed in along the gap between the carriage and the rice cake stand. coming.

"...Bamboo, bamboo marks?"

The man poked his head in and looked at Ning Ji who was huddled behind the car. The corners of Ning Ji's mouth also twitched slightly, looking at the man's face with resentment.At this time, Qu Longjun's figure suddenly stood in front of Ning Ji: "My guest, please go out."

The guest said: "Go away."

Ning Ji also pulled Qu Longjun's hand: "It's okay."

"...Impossible. Don't scare me..." After Qu Longjun got out of the way, the figure crawled in through the gap like a gecko, and when he reached Ning Ji, he squinted his eyes and looked at his face: "You , You...how are you..." Then he stretched out his hand to pinch Ning Ji's face.

Ning Ji punched it.

With a bang, the man shook his head, bleeding from his nostrils, he covered his nose, looked at Ning Ji and squatted down: "Ah, it's not a dream, you...you, why are you here..."

"I still want to ask you." Ning Ji suppressed his voice, "Zuo Xingzhou, you bastard, what are you doing here!"

"I, I..." The dog thief named Zuo Xingzhou nodded to himself, hesitated for a moment, "I can't say it, but what are you doing here, no... why did you appear here? its not right……"

"My name is Sun Wukong!"

"……what?"

"My name is Sun Wukong now!" Ning Ji suppressed his voice and pointed to himself, "I'm traveling around the world, I never thought of seeing you, I have nothing to do with Southwest."

"Ah - you hang such a big bamboo marker and you say you have nothing to do with Southwest! If it weren't for this flag, who would have seen you..."

"Ah!" Ning Ji hugged his head, "I just knew, I should have replaced this broken flag a long time ago—"

The two squatted together, and for a while, their minds were muddled, so confused and tangled for a while, Zuo Xingzhou seemed to have remembered something, then turned around, climbed the edge of the booth to peek outside, and at the same time lowered his head. Voice: "That's right! I... I am not called Zuo Xingzhou, I am called Zhou Xing, Xing Tian's Xing."

"What the hell? You just reversed the name and called it a pseudonym?" Ning Ji also looked out subconsciously, "...No, why do you have to use a pseudonym when you are here, and you are such a dog What's the matter with Sui's appearance?"

"You are the dog, who is the dog." Zuo Xingzhou glanced at Ning Ji who was clinging to the side, and then looked at himself who was also squatting peeping, his face was tangled for a while, and then he shook his head vigorously , sighed, "Oh! Forget it, I can't explain to you for a moment... I am a bad person now, so don't spoil my good deeds."

"There's something good about a bad guy like you! But I just want to say, don't tell people about me, no one can tell you if you understand or not?"

Zuo Xingzhou squatted there and thought for a while, then finally turned his head and looked at Ning Ji carefully. He had calmed down, and there was a complicated look in his eyes: "Who are you talking to? What are you talking about... that's right, Seriously, why did you come here? Don't you know how dangerous it is?"

"What's dangerous here, where is it dangerous?"

"It's not dangerous here, but you are dangerous."

"Get out of here!"

"……no."

"Don't you have something bad to do? If you don't get out, I'll crush you to death!"

"No." The other party said seriously, "I have something to do, but I won't do it. I can't leave until you figure it out. Do you have a box in this carriage, can you get in it, let me get in..."

"I... rub... you bastard..."

Ning Ji was grinding his teeth, wanting to rush over and bite him to death, but there was no way.

In the past years, Zuo Duanyou sent some of his family's children to Xiaocanghe one after another, and later sent some to the southwest. This Zuo Xingzhou was the youngest among the group of "students abroad", but he had a wild personality, and he was Zuo Duanyou. A rare militant among the family.Although he is a few years older than Ning Ji, a group of brats blow up cesspit when they have nothing to do. When organizing factions to march and fight in groups, both sides have had a lot of intersections, sometimes they are comrades-in-arms, sometimes they are enemies.

Knowing everything, he threatened the other party.

The two dogs squatted there furiously, and were in a stalemate for a while, Ning Ji had no choice but to calm down.

"Forget it, if you don't leave, don't leave... Then tell me, what are you planning to do?"

"...The original plan was to fight Yue Yun. Now it seems that it will be another day."

"Where is Yue Yun...?"

"It's right here... I guess it's coming soon."

"This way..."

The two sides can be regarded as knowing the basics. When the other party said this, Ning Ji nodded and understood:
"Understood, you bastard, so you were working as an undercover agent..."

Thanks to the classmate of "Always Quiet 93" for the leader. This is a regular reader. I have seen it many times. This sudden reward for the leader makes me panic.It can’t be said that there is a feeling of "forget it, I can’t survive you, so I will give it to you as the leader"... Well, I should be thinking too much...
