On the giant treasure ship at the port, Ye Jingtang took out the big black horse that had been fattened for two days from the stable, took the saddle from the harness rack, and put it on the horse's back.
Fan Qinghe was dressed as an exotic beauty, standing beside him, holding a small purse in his hand, and his eyes were obviously a little confused:
"Why did you go to Xiaoshan suddenly? Is there something urgent?"
Ye Jingtang didn't say it in a hurry, but after paying for the small clothes he had just bought at the cloth store, he couldn't just pick out the ones Yun Li chose and give them to him together.
Then Yunli ran out in embarrassment, took the purse with the clothes and stuffed it into Bing Tuo Tuo who was waiting outside the door.
This back and forth is basically the same as giving him a black stocking thigh-high top.
Ye Jingtang didn't dare to observe Lady Xue's reaction, so she grabbed Aunt Fan and ran away on the pretext that she was busy going to Xiaoshan.
Of course, what he had said could not be ignored, so he went directly to the dock outside the city to pick up the horses.
Seeing Miss Fan asking blankly, Ye Jingtang said with a smile:
"Go to Xiaoshan Fort for a stroll and check things out. Xiaoshan is not too far from here. You should be able to get there in the middle of the night..."
"Should I follow too?"
"Xiaoshan Fort is a well-known sect in the right way and cooperates with the imperial court. When I infiltrate, I usually beat everyone down. If there is too much noise, the impact may not be good. I need Miss Fan's help in this matter."
Fan Qinghe was an expert at sneaking into wealthy families to investigate things, but she had no expectations beforehand.
In the morning, Ye Jingtang suddenly came over to take her shopping, bought her expensive and beautiful clothes to make her happy, and then went out to spend the night alone...
Isn’t it obvious who we’re going to do next?
Fan Qinghe pinched the purse containing the sexy little clothes, feeling a little panicked and hesitated:
"I can accompany you to do things, but at night...at night..."
Ye Jingtang paused slightly while putting on the saddle, shook his head and smiled:
"Whether Miss Fan believes it or not, it was really a misunderstanding before. I accidentally took advantage of the girl. I will not take it lightly and evade responsibility just because of the accident. But the girl's family is not willing, and I can't be shameless and force it."
Responsible."
Fan Qinghe had been with Ye Jingtang for so long, but she actually didn't believe that Ye Jingtang could do that kind of thing that would damage a woman's image by force. Seeing that Ye Jingtang made the topic clear, she simply asked directly:
"You were cupping me, and I accidentally got up and let you see it. It was indeed a misunderstanding. That time when I was drinking, I was hugged by you and fell asleep, which was also an accident. The broken bed board was also an accident. But you were in the new house and ran to my room.
Li, you... still kissed me, how do you explain this?"
After Fan Qinghe asked a few questions, his face turned red, but he still acted like a serious elder and waited for the answer.
Ye Jingtang hesitated for a moment, turned around, and said truthfully:
"Didn't Fairy Lu tease me all the time? I just planned to sneak over there that time to give her a memory, but I didn't expect that you and Fairy Lu changed rooms and then kissed the wrong person...
Fan Qinghe blinked his eyes, half convinced and half doubtful. He originally wanted to say, ‘She is Master Jing Wang, are you trying to trick a ghost?’.
But then I thought about it, Master Jing Wang has nothing to do with the Night Terror Hall. The emperor's family is already in chaos. Her aunt can go to the royal court to be the princess of the Night Terror Hall. What's so strange about Master entering the palace to help take care of the baby...
…
And with the character of the demon girl who is the reincarnation of a fox demon, and spending time with Ye Jingtang day and night, it would be strange if something didn't happen. Maybe the demon girl took the initiative to seduce her...
Thinking of this, Fan Qinghe's eyes showed a strange look and asked:
"You and the witch...did she take the initiative to hook up with you?"
Ye Jingtang shook his head: "It doesn't matter. Over time, love develops and the two of them are happy."
Fan Qinghe seemed to be nodding, and after thinking for a while he asked again:
"That means you have never had any thoughts about me. It's all a misunderstanding?"
"..."
Ye Jingtang felt that this question was a bit straightforward, and there were questions whether the answer was correct or incorrect. He thought about it and said with a smile:
"Everyone has a love for beauty. Miss Fan is so kind to me and good-looking. As a normal man, I will definitely keep it in mind. However, it is indeed a misunderstanding to sneak into the room in the middle of the night."
In mind……
I was thinking about how nice it sounds...
Fan Qinghe blinked his eyes, feeling that the answer was quite ambiguous, and did not dare to think about it. He raised his hand to hook the hair on his shoulders, and turned to look at the sky:
"It's already afternoon, let's leave early...I'll come back and ask the witch. If you lie to me, I won't believe you anymore."
Ye Jingtang smiled softly, led the big black horse to the shore, got on the horse and whistled:
"Hey~"
Not far away, a bird was squatting by the river watching an old man fishing. It quickly flapped its wings and flew back, landed in front of the saddle, and said "chichichi..." a few times, probably saying that the old man must have good light skills and has been in the air force.
None of them come with lifting poles.
Ye Jingtang placed the bird between his legs and squatted down, then stretched out his hand:
"Let's go."
Fan Qinghe was carried for a long distance in Huangming Mountain, but he didn't mind riding on the same horse. He sat sideways behind the saddle with a tap of his toes, put his purse in his arms, thought for a while and murmured:
"No wonder the witch has been staying at the Escort Agency for the past two days and has not come to accompany the Queen Mother. It turns out... hum..."
The tone is intriguing, a bit unpleasant and hard to express the sourness of being handed over your own cabbage by your sworn enemy.
Ye Jingtang didn't say much, lightly clamped the horse's belly, and galloped along the official road towards the southeast coast...
…
——
Xiaoshan County is located on the southeast side of Jiangzhou and faces the sea in the east. The navy of the Wei Dynasty was stationed in the seaport of Xiaoshan County. Its main function was to prevent Beiliang from bypassing Yanzhou by sea to attack the southeastern inner organs, and at the same time, it suppressed Yanzhou and shocked Tiannan.
Because Xiaoshan County has been an important military town since ancient times, it is not as emphasis on culture as other counties in Jiangzhou. The martial arts is quite prosperous, and various workshops that make a living by making ordnance and ships are also concentrated here. It has been passed down for several dynasties, and slowly
Slowly, Jianghu sects such as Boat Gang and Zhujian Villa were formed.
Xiaoshan Fort is regarded as a longevity star in the entire Wei Dynasty. It was founded when Dayan was the founding of the previous dynasty, and it has survived through more than three hundred years of ups and downs. Its qualifications can be compared with many aristocratic families in Jiangzhou.
However, because Xiaoshan Fort was good at forging weapons and was not outstanding in martial arts, ever since the emergence of Xiao Zu who dominated the world, there has been a decline in the economy and there has never been a leading figure. However, the two dynasties have always provided support.
, or ups and downs...
Up to now, Xiaoshan Fort has long been reduced to a second-rate sect in Jianghu. The people who can talk about things in Jiangzhou are all Jianghu people thinking about giving face to weapons.
However, there is no Wu Kui who can carry the heavyweight and can survive in the world for hundreds of years by relying on his craftsmanship alone, which is enough to illustrate the recognition of the golden signboard of 'Xiaoshan Fort' in the world.
The main business of Xiaoshan Fort is to help the imperial court forge ordnance. Making weapons for Jianghu people is a private job to maintain its reputation. If you don't make money from this, you have to pay attention to quality rather than quantity. Even a famous master in the family can't make many weapons in a year.
It’s not unusual to wait three to five years for weapons.
Because weapons are the lifeblood of a warrior, if something goes wrong, his life will basically be lost. People in the martial arts must choose the best. For this reason, just at the end of the year, countless warriors have come from all over the world and gathered near Xiaoshan.
I went around asking for connections to see if I could hire a famous expert to help me create something that would work for me.
Although the current status of Jianghu is not high, it has been passed down for a long time by our ancestors. The scale of Xiaoshan Fort is far larger than that of ordinary Jianghu sects. The buildings of the villa are scattered and scattered, occupying half of the hilltop; and below is a town where workshops gather, which are crowded all year round.
There are countless Jianghu people staying in the town.
In the middle of the night, the sound of forging iron and the heroic words of drinkers can be heard everywhere in Xiaoshan Town. It is quieter inside Xiaoshan Fort, where only the sounds of gold and iron clashing and shouts can be heard.
Outside the main hall of Xiaoshan Castle, nearly a hundred young men and women stood around the ring, taking turns to get on the ring to compete. The most outstanding young man among them could get a weapon forged by the master of the castle. This was also a way for Xiaoshan Castle to maintain its reputation and make friends with the world.
The means of future generations.
Because you can have prostitution for free, and you can also let your apprentice go out and make a good reputation, there are naturally many celebrities from all over the world, even Wuzhou's socialites, the Three Wonders, all came with their apprentices.
However, after witnessing the tyranny of Ye Jingtang, Sanjue Immortal was really not too interested in the scene of playing house with these children and kept sitting in the room, chatting with the castle owner Xiao Zongyuan:
"Before going to Zhou's house, I thought Jianghu was dead. Now I realize that Jianghu has been silent for ten years. It's just a big mistake. The future life is terrible. It's really not a joke..."
"That's right. When Ye Jing Tang defeated Jian Yuhua in the Zhou family, many young people in Jiangzhou were eager to give it a try and prepare to fight for Honghua downstairs. However, before anyone could be found, Mr. Xuanyuan lay down first.
It is not an exaggeration to say that this momentum is approaching the old gods of Fengguan City..."
"Well, back then, Fengguan City started fighting from the tenth place in the world, calling names one by one, and beat the whole world into a loss of temper. I guess Ye Jingtang also has this strength, but Zhou Chiyang is a chicken thief, he will not lose if he doesn't fight; Master Xuanji has another
It’s a woman. It doesn’t look good if you win, and it doesn’t look good if you lose. You can only jump over it. If you don’t defeat ten people in the world, it will be difficult to beat Fengguan City’s record..."
"Fengguancheng doesn't have many Northern Dynasty military commanders. If Ye Jingtang can sweep the northern and southern rivers and lakes, and then bring all the northern and southern female military commanders into the palace, I guess the old gods in Fengguan City will have to say goodbye when they see it.
Ashamed..."
"Haha, that's true..."
…
There were roars of laughter in the main hall, but at the same moment, deep underground under the main hall of Xiaoshan Fort, the atmosphere was not so relaxed and harmonious.
The dark red fire light illuminated the corners of the large stone room. The weapon racks beside the wall were filled with swords, guns, swords and halberds. In the center was a blast furnace. The surface of the furnace originally had patterns and carvings, but due to its age, it has become
Carbon black.
The temperature inside the stone chamber is extremely high, making it impossible for ordinary people to stay inside for a long time.
But a thin old man turned a blind eye to the hot air. He stood in front of the giant furnace with his hands behind his back, his eyes reflecting the red sword shadow in the furnace.
Step, step~~
The sound of slight footsteps sounded from inside the stone chamber, from far to near.
The old man glanced at the entrance out of the corner of his eye, then continued toward the stove and said:
"How's it going?"
The person who came in from the outside was an old Confucian scholar in his fifties. His hands were clasped behind his back and he looked relaxed. He first glanced in front of the stove, then picked up the swords neatly placed by the wall and looked at them carefully:
"Beiliang's Twelfth Floor and Liang Shangyan suddenly appeared in Jiangzhou City. Not only did the Night Terror Hall leak, but they also seemed to have attracted two other big dragons. The situation was a bit unexpected."
"The unknown master who approached last time was from the imperial court?"
"It's possible. The last time I recruited Hua Ling, I leaked my identity. Hua Ling, a stupid young man, must have said something to Ye Jingtang before he died to attract so many masters... Ye Jingtang should have come to see me.
I will take care of this matter, you don’t need to worry."
The old man asked: "I have not been involved in Jianghu affairs for many years, and I am not sure about the depth of Night Terror Hall. If he breaks into this place by mistake, what are my chances of winning?"
Long Zhengqing flicked the sword open with his fingers. After observing it for a few moments, he hung it on his waist and walked outside:
"Ye Jing Tang is so lucky that there will be no conflicts. According to information, Ye Jing Tang was still at the Duke of Qin's mansion in the morning, inspecting the weapons of the army, and will not be coming for a short time. I will go to Wanghai Tower to engrave him now.
War letter to prevent him from looking around. If you are doubtful, you can put out the stove, take the things away and hide them for a while."
The old man thought about it for a moment, then looked back at the stove:
"The heat is always a little low. Now that the stove is out, all the hard work over the years has been wasted. You try your best to lure the person away. If he really dares to come, I would like to try the human blood sacrificial vessel recorded in the ancient book to see if it can work."
"What age do you think you are, and you still believe in these ancient mystical remedies, using bone powder and charcoal to stew steel, is no more reliable than dripping human blood on a sword..."
"..."
——
Hoof-clack, hoof-clack...
The sky turned dark unconsciously, and a silver moon hung high in the sky.
Black horses were galloping on the official road. Although it was already the winter moon, the grass and trees in the Jiangzhou wilderness were just a bit withered and yellow. From time to time, evergreen vegetation could be seen along the way, giving people a feeling as if it had just entered autumn.
The long journey was boring and inevitably made people sleepy. The bird squatting on the saddle had already dozed off during the bumps, and was held by Ye Jingtang's hands to prevent him from falling.
Fan Qinghe was sitting in the back. He was neither far nor close, and it was not easy to chat with Ye Jingtang. When he was secretly wondering what the demon girl was doing with her family Jingtang, he suddenly found that Ye Jingtang, who was sitting in front, slowly
He slowly leaned on her shoulder. There was no weight at first, but then his weight slowly came on, and his head moved little by little.
?
Fan Qinghe turned around and shook his shoulders with his hand:
"Night Terror Hall?"
"Um?"
Ye Jingtang quickly sat up straight, woke up from his doze, and looked around at the wilderness:
"What's wrong?"
Fan Qinghe looked at Ye Jingtang's side face:
"Why did you doze off? Did you not sleep last night?"
Ye Jingtang faced three full white moons last night, and he couldn't even see them. He couldn't think of sleeping. It was nothing at first, but after running for a long time and not talking, he was really a little sleepy. He said to this:
"We were chatting last night and I really didn't sleep much. It's okay. I can hold on."
When Fan Qinghe heard this, he naturally became serious, turned around and rode behind, passed his hands through his waist, and grabbed the reins:
"You haven't had a good rest, and you still dare to go out and walk around? What can you do? Just take a nap for a while, then sleep well when you get to a place where you can stay, and then go to Xiaoshan Fort when you feel refreshed."
Ye Jingtang was just dozing off a little, and it was no problem to ride to the town at this time. He originally wanted to ride the horse by himself.
Unexpectedly, Miss Fan was quite fierce. She patted his hand that was holding the reins, and then lightly kicked the horse's belly:
"drive--"
The big black horse immediately accelerated, and Ye Jingtang's body leaned back with the inertia, pressing against two soft pillows.
"?"
Ye Jingtang suddenly woke up a little and sat up a little straighter to avoid bumping into each other.
In the past, Ye Jingtang would hold the girl in his arms while riding horses, touching the hot water bottle along the way. But now that the girl is holding him in his arms and riding horses, he doesn't know what to do.
He picked up the bird and rubbed it, then took out a map from the bag on the side of the horse and looked at it in the moonlight:
"We are almost arriving at Xiaoshan County. The seven or eight miles ahead should be Huangqi County. I heard from Yunli that Huangqi lotus root powder is a must-have. There are stores in the capital. I haven't tried it yet. You can try it later..."
Fan Qinghe put his arm around the man's waist and rode the horse. Because they were smaller in size, he had to slightly raise his chest and head to see the road, so they couldn't help but touch each other.
She didn't feel anything at first, but as the horse jolted, the skirt of her clothes trembled up and down, and the top of her clothes rubbed back and forth on her back, and gradually she felt a strange numbness...
"..."
Fan Qinghe blinked his eyes, his cheeks turned crimson involuntarily, and wanted to lean back further, but her clothes were not too small. She sat behind her and walked around Ye Jingtang to grab the reins. It was obviously difficult to keep the distance.
After going back and forth like this for a while, Fan Qinghe felt that his body was reacting strangely, and he wanted to squeeze his legs. After hesitating for a moment, he suddenly felt guilty and moved forward to press against his back.
The grinding stopped suddenly and I felt much more comfortable...
Ye Jingtang was looking at a map when he was suddenly pressed against a pillow, and a warm breath came from his ears. His eyes changed obviously. He turned to look at Miss Fan, but stopped talking.
Fan Qinghe suppressed the strangeness in his heart, rested his chin on his shoulder, and kept his expression as usual:
"Children of Jianghu, don't stick to trivial matters when you go out. Just give directions and don't think wildly."
Can I stop thinking about this?
Ye Jingtang was pressed tightly against him and had no place to hide. He took the map and scanned the field, trying his best to look normal:
"You should go to the right, turn around from the front, and you can see the town... Sure enough..."
