Qin Gutong felt a little shy and uneasy in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it. He pointed to the front and said seriously: "Turn left at the end of the road, there is a hotel, let's stay there tonight."

At this moment, the evening fog is getting colder and the sky is getting dark, so it is naturally inconvenient to travel.Xiao Qingqian nodded in agreement, and the two got on their horses.Not far away, I saw the flag of cooking tobacco and wine.

There is an inn on the side of the road, with four gates.The houses behind the store are contiguous, covering seven or eight mu of land.The lookout pole at the gate is three feet high, the wind is blowing and the green is vibrating, and there are four big characters in the letter-Xiejiaodidian.

Although this hotel is not an important one, the business is really good.Before approaching, I heard the noise of people in the store.Qin Gutong couldn't help frowning, stopped and looked at Xiao Qingqian.

Xiao Qingqian stretched out her hand to comb her broken hair, pretending to be surprised, and said, "Since when have I been so picky?"

Qin Gutong knew that she was very quiet, and pretended to be worried when he heard the words: "I'm afraid that the news of Miss Xiao's return to the world will be leaked, and idlers will come to cling to her and fight for money."

Xiao Qing lowered his eyes and smiled softly: "It's a common thing." After saying that, he rode forward.

The waiter in the shop was busy running around, suddenly his eyes lit up, he galloped out of the door, pulled the rein and led the horse, and asked courteously: "Women, there are clean shops here, and the accommodation and meals are cheap. We are the only family in a hundred miles around, and we come from the south." Going north, doing business and walking darts, traveling as a knight-errant, they all rest in our shop..."

Qin Gutong heard him croaking, afraid that Xiao Qingqian would be upset, so he quickly took over the conversation: "Little brother, let's stay in the hotel and open a room."

"Come on!" The waiter greeted the handyman to lead the horse, and specifically asked loudly to feed it with bean cakes.He led the two of them into the store and led them to the counter, "Shopkeeper, the two ladies want a room."

The shopkeeper is a woman who is over forty years old and still has a charming charm.She looks charming and pungent, but she speaks with the tact and politeness of a businessman: "Oh, what day is it today? The two heroines are really top-notch characters, with good looks and good manners. I still have two vacant rooms here. Look at the board. One There is a Tianzi Ding room, and a Qianlongju, which is a single-door detached courtyard.

Qin Gutong looked up, Tianzi Ding Room had one hundred and two patterns a night, and Qianlong Residence had four hundred patterns a night.She smiled slightly, and said to the shopkeeper: "It's all right. I think it's getting late, and it's hard to have any more guests. If the shopkeeper gives us some money, we'll stay in Qianlongju."

The shopkeeper also laughed when he heard the words, and sighed, "I'm just earning some hard-earned money. Qianlongju gave away feed for nothing, and the two BMWs of the heroine can eat a lot..."

Qin Gutong had a lot of money in his pocket, and he was even more reluctant to wrong Xiao Qingqian. He stretched out his hand to pay for it, but the shopkeeper said: "At least three hundred and two, if it is less, I will lose money."

Three big coins with a hundred patterns were placed on the counter, Qin Gutong asked with a smile, "Is it going to work?"

The shopkeeper glanced at it and saw that it was Baiwen Tongbao from the previous court, and immediately smiled.In the past 50 years, the world's currencies have been in chaos.Although there are coins minted in every major city, everyone recognizes the hard currency, which is Yuanxing Tongbao from the reign of Emperor Ming.

The shopkeeper flicked his hand, and said repeatedly: "Oh, Cheng Chengcheng! The two heroines have such looks, and my shop is full of splendor. Wang Xiaoer, take the two heroines to Qianlongju."

Qin Gutong glanced sideways, and saw the six tables of the Eight Immortals in the lobby, filled with people of all kinds.Those who do business and walk darts should be more vigilant, eat vegetables and chat with each other.The knights in the rivers and lakes feasted their hearts out, drinking wildly, staggering and leaning back and forth.There was even a wanderer who was suspected to be from Zhuyi Palace, pointing and laughing at the two of them.

Xiaoer led Qin Gutong and Xiao Qingqian into Qianlongju, pointed to the silk rope at the corner and said courteously: "You two ladies, pull the rope for something. As soon as the copper bell rings, the younger one will go outside the door to listen to the order. "

Qin Gutong put the luggage on the table, took out the five-pattern copper coin and handed it over: "Please ask the second brother to get us three hot dishes, to make it more refreshing. And two bowls of rice, and send them to the room together. The meal money will leave tomorrow The store settles together."

Xiao Er happily took the copper coins, and repeatedly agreed: "Okay, okay, wait a moment. I'll go to the kitchen and let them buy some good dishes."

When Xiaoer went out, Qin Gutong put down the door latch.After packing up his luggage, he went to fetch a basin of water and greeted him, "Qingqian, come here."

Hearing this, Xiao Qingqian walked over to wash her hands and face, Qin Gutong immediately handed over a towel.Xiao Qingqian tilted her head to look at her, and smiled coyly: "Ah Tong is so kind."

Qin Gutong blushed immediately, and Wang Gu muttered to the left and right: "I just fetched a basin of water, you are so foolish."

Xiao Qingqian shook her head lightly: "A-Tong took care of me all the way."

Qin Gutong was overjoyed, took the handkerchief from her hand, and said teasingly: "Could it be possible to let you take care of me? Miss Xiao can distinguish all kinds of flavors, but can't distinguish sauce and vinegar. She has good knowledge, but she can't even cook a stove." born."

Xiao Qingqian was not angry when she heard her talking and joking, but took it for granted: "With Ah Tong here, why should I know everything."

Qin Gutong was taken aback for a moment, only to feel that the tip of his nose was sour, and the sockets of his eyes were instantly moistened.She quickly lowered her head, threw the towel into the copper basin, and walked out with it.Restraining his sobs, he said casually, "Well, that's fine, just rely on me."

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Xiao Qingqian heard that the person's breathing was steady and powerful, obviously not the waiter of the shop.She narrowed her pupils and stepped forward to question her.Unexpectedly, Qin Gutong hurried forward upon hearing the sound, and opened the door at once: "Huh? Excuse me, who is your Excellency?"

The visitor has thick eyebrows and big eyes, is tall and broad.A hideous gash on his face, from forehead to jaw.Although his appearance is frightening, his expression is brave and pure, not like a treacherous person.

"At the Tan's Escort Bureau in Xiayingtan, Tan Yishun, the head of the escort. If you take the liberty to interrupt, it's okay if the heroine forgives you." Tan Yishun clasped his fists as he said.

Qin Gutong saw that he was wearing a strong brown suit, with two steel maces in his waist.Dressed and dressed as if he had just seen everyone in the Escort Bureau.

I just don't know why?

Although she has never dealt with the Escort Bureau, she also knows that the Escort Bureau is the most cautious.Don't live in new stores, don't make friends with strangers, don't gamble, whore or drink.It's really suspicious that this came to the door for no reason.

Qin Gutong pondered in his heart, and bowed his hands in return: "I have met Tan Biaotou, what advice can I give?"

Seeing her blocking the door, Tan Yishun refused to give her name in return.Knowing that she was suspicious, she didn't mind, and said with a smile, "Don't misunderstand the heroine, I don't mean anything malicious. It's just that I see the extraordinary looks of the two heroines, so I dare to make friends." Then he turned and took a small bamboo box, and started offer.

Qin Gutong hastily declined: "No need, no need. Meng Tan's security guard thinks highly of it, and I can't accept things after making friends."

Tan Yishun said with a bold smile: "Women don't have to refuse, it's not a valuable thing. A jar of Yujiang dried eggplants and a jar of Guixi fried vegetables. I can't say how good the taste is, but it's delicious when you go around the rivers and lakes with wine and dinner.

Seeing that he insisted on giving it, Qin Gutong felt a headache.

"Young lady, just take it, Tan Biaotou these two things are hard to buy." The waiter in the shop walked up and said with a smile, "I tasted it once, and I get greedy every time I think about it, so you just take it."

Qin Gutong was taken aback when he heard the words, still full of suspicion, but he couldn't bear to be embarrassed, so he took it with both hands, and thanked repeatedly: "Thank you Tan Biaotou, I am flattered."

Seeing her accepting it, Tan Biaotou smiled heartily and said no more, cupped his hands: "Farewell." After saying that, he strode away.

The shop waiter carried the tray and followed Qin Gutong into the room.While putting the food on the table, he kept talking non-stop: "Don't worry, the two heroines. In the past six months, Escort Tan has come and gone from us many times. He is very polite. Our shopkeeper also said that he is an upright person."

Qin Gutong felt a little relieved after hearing his words.

Xiao Qingqian looked at the small bamboo box and asked, "Half a year?"

Hearing her voice, the waiter in the shop suddenly trembled, and poured beans in a hurry: "Well, it's about the same. The small ones do the math, it started at the end of last year, one or two... It's been half a year."

Seeing Xiao Qingqian looking at him, he immediately continued: "I have inquired about it before. They are the escorts of Qiaogongfang, from Changnan. Qiaogongfang is all exquisite and valuable things. They carry goods on horseback. People can go back and forth two or three times a month.”

Qin Gutong laughed when he heard the words: "This saves horsepower."

Xiao Qingqian nodded slightly, and said again: "I think you have earned a lot in the past six months."

The waiter in the shop just wanted to complain, but the number of customers has increased in the past six months, and he is busy without touching the ground.But thinking about accumulating more and more daughter-in-law books, he suddenly grinned: "It's okay, it's all from the shopkeeper."

Seeing that Xiao Qingqian was silent, Qin Gutong stepped forward and said, "Please trouble me, second brother, go and do your work."

After seeing off the shop waiter, Qin Gutong went back to the room and saw Xiao Qingqian sitting at the table waiting for him.Feeling warm in his heart, he sat down next to her, and asked softly: "But what's wrong? I don't think that Tan Escort looks like a bad guy. The Escort Bureau eats a lot of food. Apart from strictly adhering to the rules of the world, they also have to be both sides. "

Xiao Qingqian listened to her quietly, swipe her eyelashes, and asked calmly: "What's the matter? Just two jars of pickles bought you off? You are so foolish."

Qin Gutong held the wooden chopsticks for a moment, feeling that there was something in these words.Looking at Xiao Qingqian blankly, she saw her eating with small pieces in a celadon bowl with downcast eyes, looking calm and happy.

Qin Gutong took a piece of yellow beef slices, the more he chewed, the more tasteless he became.Reluctantly swallowing, she couldn't help asking: "Qingqian, do you want to say something?"

Xiao Qingqian looked at her sideways: "Huh?"

Qin Gutong simply put down the bowl and chopsticks, and said bluntly, "Do you want to go to Liuchun City, but are you embarrassed to say so?"

Xiao Qingqian was thinking about the matter of Taihe City, when he heard this, he secretly laughed.But it's very interesting to see that A Tong is obviously distressed and sour, but pretends to be indifferent.

Seeing her acquiescing, Qin Gutong was heartbroken.With a smile on his face, he comforted him and said: "Although Wucheng is far away, it is a paradise where people from all corners of the world flock to, and there are the best wind media spies. Besides, Bai Yuan is very clever and good at lightness kung fu..."

Seeing Qin Gutong talking faster, Xiao Qingqian couldn't maintain the smile on his face.She suddenly felt a pain in her heart, and even herself was stunned.

"... Ah Tong." Xiao Qingqian stretched out his hand, and stroked her cheek with his fingertips, the soft touch was reassuring.

Seeing that her expression was different, Qin Gutong quickly asked, "What's the matter? Qingqian, I'm here."

Xiao Qingqian shook his head when he saw that she was worried.Changing the subject, he expressed his doubts in his heart: "Have you ever noticed that all the changes in Taihe City started half a year ago. Hundreds of precepts, prosperity and prosperity, all appeared suddenly."

Qin Gutong didn't turn the corner for a while, and said after a while, "There's nothing wrong. Senior Cuiweizi issued a hundred commandments, Taihe City banned martial arts, and everything was done according to the law. The city was stable, and the people naturally moved and settled. Some people There will be buying and selling, and all sects and factions will not be stuck with money."

Xiao Qingqian listened to her careful analysis, nodded in agreement, and said with a smile: "Tong's words are reasonable. However, things in the world are not so easy. In half a year, the prosperity of a city cannot be achieved overnight with a hundred commandments. Among them The manpower and financial resources required are unimaginable. What's more, the art of governing the world is something that a group of Taoist priests who practice martial arts and immortality can understand in ten or eight years. What's more..."

Qin Gutong frowned, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and suddenly clapped his hands and exclaimed: "The way of heaven is damaged enough to make up for it. The way of man is damaged enough to be given more than enough to be given. All forces in the world do not grow and disappear. How can it be Allow Taihezong to rise suddenly!"

She got up in a flash, paced back and forth in the room, and suddenly said: "Qingqian, wait for me for a while. I'll go to Xinyou's place to inquire about it!"

Seeing that she was in high spirits, Xiao Qingqian didn't try to persuade her, and said: "The deer's head is very close to this place, and the rice wine is very good, so the shopkeeper must have something in his possession. Buy a jug and give it to me as a gift in return."

Qin Gutong nodded, hung up the horizontal knife and went out.

After half an hour, Qin Gutong came back, took the tea from Xiao Qingqian, and drank it in one gulp.With a smile that wasn't a smile, he said with mixed feelings: "Qingqian, do you remember what Senior Ye Yinzi said?"

Before Xiao Qingqian could think about it, Qin Gutong let out a long sigh——

"The way of heaven is permanence, it does not survive for Yao, and does not perish for Jie. Today the Weng family deceives you, maybe you will deceive him tomorrow."
