Chapter 111: Women in Chang'an like to wear white, don't they?
After leaving Li Xunzhi's home, Kong Qing said goodbye to Shu Chuo, took his little kitten, and turned a corner to go to the West Market.
Although the thief who attacked Li Xun's house was a master, he did not leave any clues from the beginning to the end, leaving Shu Chuo, an old man in the world, at a loss, and Kong Qing's identification skills were useless. It seems that this matter
It really became an unsolved mystery.
But the question is, no matter how powerful the thief is, what happens?
The instigator behind it is not difficult to guess at all. For Kong Qing, it is an either/or choice.
Option A: Yuan Baiyi, the snake demon who killed Li Huang for the ancient mirror.
Option B: Kunlun Numoli.
There will be no other options, because only a few people and monsters know the secret of the Yellow Emperor's Ancient Mirror.
And Kong Qing felt that Li Xunzhi should have thought about this, so he kept asking himself whether a monster stole the mirror. When he asked Shu Chuo to conclude that the mirror was not stolen by a monster, Li Xunzhi
His expression at that time was a little hesitant...
However, this is just Kong Qing's inference. Whether it is true or not will only be known when Kong Qing goes to the West Market and meets with Mo Li.
"Oh, isn't this Mr. Qingwei..."
Just after Kong Qing entered the West Market, he bumped into a skinny guy, the same ranger who found the search fox last time when he was looking for snakes.
"Are you coming to the West Market to buy things, or are you looking for Brother Molly?"
Kong Qing stopped and politely slapped the other party.
"Pindao has something to do with Molly..."
"That's really unfortunate." You Xia'er said with a smile on his face. "The eldest brother has just closed the stall and gone back. If you want to find him, sir, you have to go to his home in Guiyifang."
"Has Molly closed the stall?" Kong Qing raised his wrist and looked at his watch. "Isn't it just three in the afternoon...it's just past midnight, why has Molly closed the stall?"
"I don't know about this..." You Xia'er said with a relaxed expression. "Although the elder brother is in a hurry today, his face looks happy. There must be something good going on!"
Kong Qing nodded silently.
He closed the stall early, with a happy face, and as his eldest brother is a ranger from the east and west cities, he must know some powerful thieves... He didn't run away, this guy must have been interested in seeing the treasure and found someone to steal the ancient mirror.
It turns out that the problem of these old gangsters having dirty hands and feet dates back to the Tang Dynasty.
However, although the matter is clear, I have not yet figured out how to deal with Kong Qing.
After all, the thing that was stolen was not an ordinary jewelry, but an ancient mirror handmade by Emperor Xuanyuan Huang. It was something with spirituality and self. If it really didn’t want to leave Li Xunzhi’s home, no matter how powerful the thief was,
It could be stolen silently.
Since the mirror didn't resist, does that mean that the mirror is actually tired of living in the Li family and wants to move to a different place and change the environment?
Kong Qing felt that this possibility could not be ruled out.
"By the way, Xiaolangjun."
Just when Kong Qing was lowering his head in thought, the skinny Ranger suddenly slapped his head, as if he remembered something. "Didn't you ask us to pay attention to the woman in white riding in the car before?"
"Um!"
Kong Qing raised his head warily.
"What, have you found any trace of Yuan Baiyi?"
"I'm not sure if the woman in the car is named Yuan Baiyi. Although her car is very gorgeous and she is very beautiful in white clothes, she is not accompanied by two maids, but a group of young people.
The young people all look very tough, like..."
The skinny ranger looked left and right, then leaned close to Kong Qing's ear and whispered.
"...just like the gang of desperadoes at the frontier!"
"Oh, is it so?"
When he heard that the other party seemed to be bringing many tough young men, Kong Qing had almost ruled out the possibility that the other party was a snake demon, because he found from the past of black slaves that Yuan Baiyi did not bring a group of strong men.
The habit of men moving together.
However, it still needs to be checked.
What if it’s really Yuan Baiyi who changed his style of doing things and started recruiting troops?
"Where is the woman in white you mentioned?"
"It's in the inn facing the street on the West Market side,"
The skinny ranger pointed a direction to Kong Qing with an envious look on his face. "They have booked an entire courtyard, and you can still hear the sound of drinking and drinking at night. It's really enviable...it's easy to find."
"Thank you!"
Kong Qing nodded slightly, slapped the other person, and then left in the direction of the other person's finger with the little kitten that seemed to be sleeping.
At the door of the inn, Kong Qing took a casual glance and discovered the gorgeous car that the skinny ranger had mentioned.
The car is a gorgeously decorated carriage, which is characterized by its exquisite appearance, fine curtains on both sides, and most importantly, the body of this car must be inlaid with various gorgeous decorations.
For example, gold foil, gemstones, pearls, etc.
It is said that Huo Guang's car was very luxuriously decorated. Even the latch on it was made of gold to look like a phoenix. Then every night the golden phoenix flew out to play by himself. Later, he flew too far and was regarded as a real phoenix.
Caught.
Ji Kang's sentence in "Poems of Traveling Immortals", "The graceful phoenix governs, and it is caught in this snare" refers to this matter.
The car currently parked in front of the inn is definitely not as exaggerated as Huo Guang's car, but it is also gorgeously decorated. Even the curtains on the car are strung with pearls.
"What a pity, no!"
After Kong Qing saw this car, he immediately determined that the woman in white in the car was not the Yuan Baiyi he was looking for.
Because aesthetic tastes are different...
Yuan Baiyi's car is mostly decorated with jade accessories, and no gold ornaments are used. The car looks unremarkable from the outside, but it is actually very expensive, and it belongs to that kind of low-key luxury. And this car is the ultimate
Zhang Yang used a lot of gold to make this car shine under the sun, making it look very valuable at first glance.
"All the women in Chang'an City like to wear white, right? It's just making trouble for poor Taoists..."
Kong Qing muttered, turned around and planned to leave.
At this moment, a young man wearing linen clothes walked out of the inn and walked directly in front of him, clasping his hands and bowing.
"Are you Taoist Priest Qingwei of Qingdu Temple?"
Although he didn't know why the other party knew him, Kong Qing still nodded calmly.
"It's Pindao."
"My master has admired the name of Taoist Master for a long time. Please meet me."
The young man in sackcloth once again clasped his hands and bowed his hands, and said respectfully, "I hope the Taoist priest will spare his time. My master is waiting for you at the inn."
"Dare to ask..."
Kong Qing thought for a moment, then pointed to the gorgeous car next to him.
"Is your master the woman in the car?"
"Exactly!"
The boy in sackcloth stretched out his hand to make a sign of invitation.
"Taoist Master, please come in."
"The poor Taoist is causing trouble."
After hearing the other party's admission, Kong Qing nodded slightly, then shook the whisk in his hand and walked towards the inn.
After passing through the front hall of the inn and turning into a side courtyard at the back, the scene suddenly opened up. Inside the courtyard, gorgeous velvet carpets were laid under the veranda, and on top of the blankets were laid one by one several
case.
Dozens of young people wearing various clothes were drinking and mingling in the courtyard, making guesses with their thumbs (that is, punching), shouting five and six, shouting and drinking pheasants. The whole scene was very lively.
Sitting in the center of these young men was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old woman in white clothes.
She was wearing a white beard and was sitting very boldly on the carpet. She wore a hat with a white curtain on her head. After putting it down, she could block her face. However, because it was during the banquet, the veil was
Lifted up.
After seeing the handsome Kong Qing, who was as handsome as an immortal, swinging his fly whisk and going straight in, a light suddenly flashed in the eyes of the woman in white.
"I have admired Qingdu for a long time and have seen the outstanding grace of Taoist Master Qingwei. When I see him today, he is even more famous!"
The woman stood up at the table, clasped her fists and bowed to Kong Qing like a man.
"Pei Xinru, the slave, has met a gentleman!"
"Easy to say,"
Kong Qing also raised his hand in return, and then took advantage of the opportunity to throw an identification technique at him.
Name: Pei Xinru
Age: 18 years old
Past: The daughter of the Pei family in Hedong was taken away by Yinniang of Yinmen when she was young. She learned the art of assassination and became one of the successors of Yinniang. She was ordered by her teacher to go down the mountain to assassinate the 'enemies of Buddha', feeling that she was alone.
So he went north alone, recruiting knights in the land of Youyan, and stole from rich families and powerful landlords.
Now: After my wings are fully fledged, I come to Chang'an, intending to kill the Buddha's enemy before a certain competitor. During the banquet, I heard that a Taoist priest who was friends with the competitor passed by, so I planned to snatch him away and was furious.
Competitors.
Future: He assassinated Fu Yi three times in Chang'an, but failed. Although he assassinated Zhang Daoyuan, the imperial servant, he was killed by Li Yinniang.
Major: Jinghong Jue
Cultivation: Combination of body and sword
Supernatural Power: Penetrating Sun Strike
Damn it!
After seeing the profile of the woman in white in front of him, Kong Qing almost shouted in surprise.
It turns out that this woman is the 'Bitch of the Pei family' that a certain big loli is obsessed with, and she is the only competitor who can compete with that big loli for the title of hidden mother.
Kong Qing raised his head and looked at Pei Xinru again, and then his eyes swept over the fierce young men present, and a strange feeling suddenly came to his heart.
This lady, you are an assassin, and you are so high-profile, isn’t it a little bad?
At this time, Pei Xinru didn't know that her identity had been revealed by the handsome little Taoist priest in front of her. After she whispered a few words casually, two teenagers quickly moved away the table that had been placed near her.
