Nanzhu was both amused and understanding. This woman was afraid that Lao Shiwu would run away when she went shopping for clothes, so she kept a close eye on her.
Yu Qing lowered the brim of his hat when he went out on the street and walked around with Qiao Qie'er for a while, even passing by the entrance of Miaoqing Hall on the way.
I didn’t go shopping for too long. I came back after buying a few sets of replacement clothes and some daily necessities, and the styles were relatively simple.
When he visited the shops selling clothes, Yu Qing was thinking about whether to turn Miao Qingtang into this kind of shop. Then he thought about it, even if this business is operated in Youjiao Port, a shop wants to earn a million taels a year.
It's basically impossible.
He also knows that it is very difficult to earn millions of taels of silver a year from normal and ordinary business.
All kinds of thoughts of making money have been running through his mind countless times. He wants to make a lot of money, and he also wants to make a lot of money in a short period of time. In the end, he can only think about it. There is no such good thing, and there is such a good thing.
It's a monopoly in the hands of others, and it's not his turn for such great wisdom to come forward now.
After returning, Qiao Qier probably realized that she couldn't keep an eye on Yu Qing forever. She wanted to take a shower after returning, so she had to ask Yu Qing to avoid her.
So Yu Qing hid in Nanzhu's room again. Mu Aotie hadn't come back yet, so the two senior brothers continued to put their heads together and mutter.
"Old Fifteen, it's not my fault. It's not a problem to keep this woman with you all the time."
"What should I do if she insists on following me?"
"Don't come here. If you really don't let her follow you, she may not be able to follow you. You could have dumped her while she was unconscious on Horseshoe Island."
"Well, after all, we were the ones who caused her family's destruction and death. If someone breaks into the tunnel, it won't cost her her life."
"Let me just say, either you are overly sympathetic, or you think she is beautiful. Old Shifif, please think clearly. It is inconvenient to take her with you to find Jinxu. She is not one of us, so this shouldn't happen."
she knows."
Yu Qing fell silent.
At this moment, the door opened, and Mu Aotie came back. Under the gaze of the two people, he directly found a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and wrote and drew on a piece of paper.
Yu Qing and Nan Zhu naturally came over to take a look.
Mu Aotie finished writing eight place names before he stopped writing and gave some pointers, "I just remembered these eight place names. You guys can see if they work."
Yu Qing took a look at the place names and found that none of them he had heard of. "You should have an idea of whether it's okay to look for them yourself."
Mu Aotie: "According to what you said, all the names I found are ancient place names. Some are from remote places, some are from prosperous places, some are from the demon world, and some are from the human world."
In order to come up with these place names, he went to a shop selling antiques according to Yu Qing's instructions, looked through some ancient books, looked up some ancient place names distributed in different places, compared the past and present, and wrote them down to bring back.
"It's not like you can't even do this well. Okay, just do this." Yu Qing nodded and replied, memorizing the place names on the paper.
Mu Aotie: "Do you want me to go to the watchtower?"
Yu Qing waved the paper on his hand to indicate the reason for doing this, "As I said before, that watchtower is said to be a place that strictly keeps secrets, but no one can guarantee whether there will be any problems. You two have more obvious figures, and I am more ordinary.
, I’d better go.”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door outside, and Qiao Qier's voice sounded, "Are you there?"
Yu Qing replied, "Yes."
Nanzhu immediately pointed towards the door and whispered: "Then the girls are pestering you, how are you going to get there?"
Yu Qing snorted, "If I really want to get rid of her, can she stay with me? Don't worry, I have a way."
Nanzhu immediately pointed at him and said to Mu Aotie: "Old Jiu, have you seen that, in the final analysis, he still thinks that other people are beautiful and doesn't want to dump him. If this continues, believe it or not, once this kid commits a crime, it will not be a good thing.
Bird, sooner or later, this woman will be exploited."
"Okay, I'm not you two?" After Yu Qing said that, he left the two of them and opened the door and went out. When he saw the woman outside the door who was freshly washed and half-covered with a veil, he couldn't help but look up and down twice.
Went back to the room with him.
In the room where the two senior brothers were living together, Mu Aotie frowned.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing that his reaction was wrong, Nanzhu, who was dangling with his hands behind his back, asked.
Mu Aotie: "Do you really think that Old Fifteen will have sex with this woman? Did you see any signs that it's not going to happen?"
Nanzhu laughed happily, "You and I have been here before, do you still need to see the signs? A man and a woman live together in the same room for a long time, and the woman is beautiful. She must have a good appearance and a good figure. Old Fifteen
She's not bad looking either. If things continue like this, it would be strange if the two of them don't get into trouble.
Although Old Fifteen has a good heart, he is not a gentleman either. He has long been misled by Junior Junior Uncle and his gang. When he is evil, he is like a beast. This woman is also blinded by hatred, and she actually dares to live with a man like this.
, isn’t this a little lamb delivered to the hungry wolf’s mouth?”
Mu Aotie hesitated, "If that's true, wouldn't they become younger siblings?"
"Uh..." Nanzhu was stunned, the smile on his face disappeared.
Thinking about it, if that were the case, wouldn't they become younger siblings? You couldn't just ask Lao Fifteen to dump her just for fun, I'm afraid Lao Fifteen himself might not be able to agree.
After returning to his room, Yu Qing's nose twitched slightly, smelling the smell after bathing, and looking at Qiao Qier's handsome appearance, he couldn't help but have some reverie in his mind.
Of course, some secret thoughts will not delay him from doing business. After looking at the environment in the room, he said: "There is only one bed, and it is inconvenient to fall asleep. Otherwise, I'd better go to another room to rest."
Qiao Qier: "No, I won't sleep. You can use the couch. I can just find some ground to sit cross-legged and meditate."
"Okay." Yu Qing shrugged, looking indifferent, but he turned around and left, opening the door again.
Qiao Qier followed immediately.
Yu Qing stopped and turned around: "I feel uncomfortable all over, too. I also want to take a bath. Men have to take a bath too. You won't let me take a bath in front of you, right?"
Obviously she didn't expect to discuss this kind of topic. A trace of shame flashed in Qiao Qier's eyes, she turned her head to avoid his gaze and said, "I'll just go and watch outside. I'll go out after that."
Yu Qing stretched out his hand to stop him, "No, no, no, I like to take a slow bath. Besides, I'm taking a bath, so why don't you look after the door for me? Just stay here, don't worry, I won't run away."
Then he opened the door and went out.
Qiao Qier stood at the open doorway for a while, feeling in a dilemma.
Yu Qing shouted to the waiter outside to bring bath water, then broke into the room of the two senior brothers, closed the door, and immediately walked to the desk, took out the piece of paper and put it down.
Nanzhu and Mu Aotie came over, and the former asked: "What's wrong?"
Yu Qing didn't say anything, but answered with practical actions. He pulled out a piece of paper, dipped his pen in ink and copied the place names, deliberately hiding his handwriting, and added the ancient place name "Golden Valley" to the eight ancient place names, which turned into
Nine ancient place names.
The two senior brothers knew what was going on as soon as they saw it.
Yu Qing took the paper and dried the ink, put it in his arms, and rubbed what Mu Aotie had written into dust before explaining the situation to the two of them.
After the waiter brought several large buckets of hot and cold water and closed the door, Yu Qing covered his face with a piece of black cloth, borrowed a cloak in the room and put it on, then he quietly opened the window and slipped away quietly.
Go down, quickly leave the inn, and escape into the streets.
After that, there was a lot of twists and turns, and we even took the waterway to prevent anyone from following us.
After finally reaching the outside of the "Wangtower", I looked around, found an open stairway and got in. Then I closed the door to prove that there were guests in this room, and then slowly walked up the long stairway, trying my best to pretend.
He looked unfamiliar.
After walking through the long corridor to the second floor, we waited quietly in a dark space.
After a while, a bright light suddenly appeared in the room. The firelight was reflected from the roof mirror and shone diagonally on a table.
Soon, a one-eyed man appeared behind the table, dressed in black and wearing a black ingot-shaped hat with ribbons hanging from the brim of the hat. Combined with the environment in the room, it gave people an extremely weird atmosphere.
The one-eyed man stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation, "Come sit on a chair."
Yu Qing walked over and sat down. He was still sitting in the darkness. Only the one-eyed man himself was clearly illuminated by the beam of light.
One-Eyed Man: "If you need anything, please tell me."
Yu Qing deliberately made his voice hoarse, "I looked through some ancient books and wanted to clear up some doubts, so I wanted to find out what the names of some ancient places are called today. I wonder if Wanglou can solve it."
The one-eyed man: "There is no need to explain the reason to us. We are not interested in the privacy of the guests. If the guests say anything, we will just pretend that we didn't hear. Just tell me the name of the place."
The meaning of the words is easy to understand. I guess not many guests here will tell the truth. It is better for each other to be simple and direct.
Well, Yu Qing didn't hesitate and took out the nine ancient place names he had written before and handed them over.
He didn't know if it was useful to cover up the ancient place name "Golden Valley" in this way, but it was better than using a smooth place name of "Golden Valley", which would be too conspicuous.
The one-eyed man reached out to take it. After opening it and reading it, he asked: "Are you looking for the current names of these nine ancient place names?"
Yu Qing: "Yes."
The Dueyeren said: "Okay, we will try our best to help you search, but we must inform you that the result may not be as you wish, and we may not be able to provide all the information clearly. If you are sure you want to continue, each of the nine place names
You need to pay a deposit of 9,000 taels for the place name. Come back three days later and we will give you a reply.
After three days, no matter whether we can provide the results you want, we will not refund the deposit. After that, we will collect money based on the results of the nine place names, each of which will charge you 5,000 taels. If the results are not found, there is no need to make up the money.
It’s up to you to see if you want to continue. If you continue, please pay a deposit of nine thousand taels first.”
Yu Qing was convinced by this so-called watchtower. Judging from his business, he was so polite and overbearing that it made you lose your temper. He always refused to refund the customer's money no matter whether there was any result or not. The key was that he finally provided
We are not responsible for the results of the information we provide. If you have any doubts, you don’t have to come.
Upon hearing this charging method, Yu Qing muttered in his heart. If he had known better, he would have written down two less place names, but he still took out the money honestly and counted nine thousand taels and handed it to the other party.
After receiving the money, the other party immediately picked up a pen and took notes. After finishing, he handed over a sign to Yu Qing, "Come over in three days to deliver. We only recognize the sign and the money, not the person."
"Yeah." Yu Qing collected the sign and stood up to leave.
