Like the Emperor and the Xian Wang, who have been in the highest positions for decades, what kind of people have I not seen, and what kind of acting skills have I not seen?
Just the number of Qi Bao'er is really not enough in their eyes.
Qi Baoer also knew that she would be translucent in front of these real powerful people, but she really didn't like to pretend, and she didn't want to be hypocritical in order to please anyone.
To put it mildly, it means that you don’t want to be coerced and don’t want to do something you don’t want to do, otherwise you would rather be in pieces than in ruins.
As for her relatives, there is nothing to really touch her bottom line now, otherwise no one can interfere with her decision.
She is such a selfish person.
The wise king has said this, so Qi Baoer doesn't pretend anymore.
He moved his buttocks inward and leaned on the back of the chair, his little feet swaying leisurely.
"Pfft~" The wise king was happy again.
Not to mention, such a lazy look is quite characteristic of him.
Should he talk about the person he wants to adopt as his granddaughter?
But this matter is not urgent now. The little baby is obviously very wary of him, so don't scare her yet.
"Did you see anything when you went to Lushan?"
This time Qi Bao'er did not remain silent and answered the Xian Wang's question seriously.
After finishing speaking, she paused for a moment and then added: "The entire Ping'an Town should be in the hands of the people behind Qian San. There are many masters on Lushan Mountain, and the entire mountain is surrounded by them. Even in the nearby villages, there are probably some
Quite a few, maybe even some villages are full of their people."
Therefore, if you, the old man, enter the town so openly, you must have a perfect plan!
Sure enough, the wise king rested his chin lazily and said with a smile: "At this moment, the army should have surrounded Lushan.
As for the villages around Lushan that you are worried about..."
The wise king looked at the outside of the hall with distant eyes and remained silent for a long time.
Qi Baoer waited quietly without saying a word.
After a few minutes, Qi Baoer heard the Xian Wang's voice, which was so soft that it was almost inaudible.
"Recovering the mine is more important than anything else."
-
Xiangzhou County is a county famous for making incense. It is said that the earliest incense packets in Qilin Kingdom came from here.
Before entering Xiangzhou County, the first thing I saw was the endless sea of flowers. People in Xiangzhou County and the surrounding villages seldom grew food, and most of the fields and mountains were used to grow flowers.
With the air filled with the fragrance of flowers, the four of them entered Xiangzhou County.
However, this is supposed to be a romantic and carefree county, but at the moment it is not as beautiful as everyone imagined.
There are not many pedestrians in the county town. I only occasionally see a man on the road who looks sallow and looks like he has been hungry for a long time or is afraid of something.
Pedestrians also had a strange attitude towards them, guarding against redundant piers, and their eyes glowed leisurely green when they looked at them.
Because they were afraid of disturbing the people in the city, the four of them bypassed all the towns along the way from the mountains. I really don't know when Xiangzhou County became what it is now.
Twelve and Qi Baoer went to Ping'an Town once. They didn't avoid it last time, and they stayed overnight in Xiangzhou County when they returned.
"Last time we passed by, it was quite lively here. It is said that their annual Kao Festival will be here in a few days, and all the inns were full at that time."
In order to allow the county lord to have a good rest, he spent an extra five taels of silver to buy a guest room from a group of guests who came from Yong'an City to see the excitement.
It has been less than a month, so why has the depression become like this?
They did not ride silver this time, but King Xian got a carriage to ride on the wind. Twelve and Fang Qi alternated between driving the carriage and riding another horse, while Qi Kangan and his daughter rode in the carriage.
go back.
As for Yinzi, it can run back through the mountains faster than they can.
Twelve drove the carriage to the largest inn in Xiangzhou County. After arriving, he discovered that this was the only place with an open door along the way.
At first, I only paid attention to the pedestrians passing by, not the environment. Then I looked back and realized that not only the shops on the street but also the houses that I could see had their doors closed.
The inn is a Jianshu Inn - Deyuan Inn.
There were no people coming and going here, and there was no waiter at the door to greet guests. When I looked through the door, there was only one waiter in the entire lobby, feebly wiping here and there with a rag.
Fortunately, this waiter was like a normal person. When he heard the sound of horse hooves, he immediately threw the rag and came out.
"Do you want me to stay in the hotel?"
Fang Qi dismounted and threw the reins to the waiter, "Two upper rooms and one standard room."
The waiter quickly caught the reins and nodded with a smile: "Okay, two upper rooms and one standard room. Should the guest go back to his room first or rest in the hall first?"
"Let's take a rest in the lobby for a while and have a nice pot of tea."
"Yes, please come in. The younger one will go and stop the horse for the guest first."
The four of them entered the inn lobby, and then a middle-aged man hurriedly ran out from the corner of the stairs.
The middle-aged man seemed to have been washing something just now, and his chest was still wet with mud. While wiping his hands with the hem of his robe, he nodded and bowed in apology: "I have neglected your guest, please forgive me."
Twelve recognized him, he was the shopkeeper of this Deyuan Inn.
Wu Haoyuan took out Wu Haoyuan and gave it to Qi Bao'er. Qi Bao'er's black and silver token, which was a distinguished guest of Deyuan Inn, had been placed here and he flashed it.
This time the shopkeeper was so shocked that his face changed color, and he apologized more respectfully.
Twelve raised his hand to hold him, glanced around the inn and asked, "Honor, did something happen here?"
Qi Kang'an and his daughter had found a random table to sit down at, and Twelve came to their table with the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper had a sharp eye and could tell at a glance who was the master and who was the servant, so he bowed to Qi Kangan and his daughter and replied:
"It's very strange to say that on the day of the Kao Festival, the You family in the city was wiped out by someone who didn't know who, even the children who were only a few years old were not spared.
The government searched for a long time but still could not find out who the murderer was.
Since then, people have died in the city from time to time. At first, it happened in the middle of the night, but recently, even during the day, people have been killed in the house while they were at home."
But everyone is in danger.
This is something everyone knows, and there is nothing hard to say.
The four of them all had a psychedelic feeling. How could there be such a thing as a murderous maniac hiding in the county?
Appalling!
Fang Qi frowned so much that he looked like an old man: "The government has never found any clues about the murderer?"
The shopkeeper shook his head with a grimace, "If it had been found out, Xiangzhou County wouldn't be in such a situation today."
If he hadn't been the shopkeeper of Deyuan Inn, he would have run away long ago.
Just kidding, the murderous maniac didn't have a specific goal. It seemed that it all depended on his own mood. The people who had trouble in the city were all in different directions, but they had nothing to do with anyone.
"Dear guest, it's not that I don't want to receive you. If you don't have something to do, you should leave the city quickly. It's not safe here."
If you have a child with you, what will happen if you encounter such a pervert?
Twelve looked around the cold lobby again, "Did someone have an accident at your inn?"
The shopkeeper didn't lie to them, "Yes, just a few days ago, a waiter in the inn almost had an accident. Fortunately, we have guards at the inn, who discovered it in time and scared the guy away."
