() As soon as Qin Yun entered the carriage, the two maids behind him gently closed the door. 78 There was a strong contrast with the ice and snow outside, but there was no brazier or copper stove in sight, and there was no feeling of stuffiness at all.
, there is no doubt that some kind of formation has been set up.
The floor is covered with a thick cashmere blanket, pearl palace lanterns are hung on the left and right walls, and a short sandalwood round table is placed in the middle. The furnishings are exquisite and luxurious. It is not the home of a wealthy family, so it is impossible to set up such a pomp.
Various fruit snacks are placed on the sandalwood table, and the smoke of a pot of fragrant tea is lingering, which makes you feel relaxed and happy.
On the opposite side, there are a young man and a beautiful young woman sitting. The man is about twenty years old. He is very handsome in white robe and brocade belt. Especially his pair of eyes are warm and lively, which makes people feel good about them.
The young woman sitting next to him had a beautiful face and a skin as smooth as snow, but the plain dress could not hide her bulging belly. She turned out to be a pregnant woman.
"Brother, you are polite. I, Xu Changwei, took the liberty of inviting me on a whim. Please don't take it offence!"
When he saw Qin Yun, the young man immediately stood up and saluted with his hands in hand, being gentle and polite.
Qin Yun smiled and said in return: "Master Xu is too polite, it's Qin Yun who disturbed you!"
"Where, it turns out to be Mr. Qin!" Xu Changwei smiled and introduced at the same time: "This is my wife..."
"I have met Mr. Qin..." The beautiful young woman smiled sweetly and bowed: "I am inconvenienced and cannot stand up to greet you. Mr. Qin, please sit down..."
Qin Yun nodded and calmly sat down at the sandalwood table.
The two maids from before came up immediately, one set the cup and the other made the tea, and they cooperated very skillfully.
Qin Yun was not polite. He picked up the tea cup and took a sip. He couldn't help but praise: "Good tea!"
He doesn't have much preference for tea. However, Shui Wanning is an expert in tea ceremony, and he also knows a lot about tea tasting. This cup of tea is clear and sweet in the mouth, and the water temperature is adjusted just right. Drinking it warms your belly.
It is so delicious that it can never be brewed without high-quality materials.
Xu Changwei sat down and said with a smile: "This is Junshan Silver Needle collected from Manglong Mountain. Although it is not the top spiritual tea, it is still quite rare. I originally had a lot of it at home, but I was in a hurry this time..."
At this point, he probably knew that he had spilled the beans, so he immediately stopped and looked at the young woman next to him.
The beautiful young woman seemed not to notice, the smile on her face did not change at all.
The atmosphere in the carriage became a little strange.
Qin Yun felt enlightened. He could see that the other party seemed to have some secrets. The young woman was pregnant with Liujia and had to travel a long distance. I am afraid it was not just to avoid the harassment of the natives of the West Sea.
Qin Yun's current strength has improved by leaps and bounds, and is no longer the same as before. Although the couple haven't said anything yet, he can see through a lot of things.
Xu Changwei is just an ordinary person. He may have practiced martial arts for the sake of physical fitness, but he doesn't have a trace of vitality in his body. He should be a scholar from a wealthy family.
But his wife, Mrs. Xu, is different. She has a reserved aura and at least has the cultivation level of the innate realm.
The two maids were not weak either. Qin Yun could feel that these three women were vaguely wary of him.
However, this is normal. If it were Qin Yun himself, if he suddenly encountered an unknown swordsman while fleeing, he would also treat it with caution.
Qin Yun smiled and said: "Then I am really blessed. Mr. Xu, are you also from Yingcheng?"
Xu Changwei breathed a sigh of relief and looked a little gloomy: "Yes..."
Before he finished speaking, Mrs. Xu suddenly coughed and said, "Qing'er, why don't you pour tea for Mr. Qin? Xi'er, tell me to prepare drinks and food."
The two maids agreed in unison, and one of them picked up the teapot to continue making tea for Qin Yun.
Qin Yun smiled, stretched out his hand to block the tea cup, stared at Mrs. Xu and said, "Sister-in-law, you're welcome. Although this tea is good, drinking too much is not good. One cup is enough!"
Mrs. Xu's expression finally changed. She looked at Qin Yun with needle-like sharpness in her eyes and said coldly: "One cup is not enough. I just want to know why Mr. Qin is here?"
Now even Xu Changwei saw something was wrong and forced a smile: "Madam, what are you..."
Mrs. Xu turned her head and said softly: "Husband, you are a kind person and don't know the dangers of the world. Let me deal with him. You don't have to worry about it..."
"What to do with me?" Qin Yun laughed dumbly: "What do you plan to do with me?"
Mrs. Xu snorted and said, "Let me ask you, who sent you here? Is there anyone else?"
Qin Yun shook his head: "I don't know what you are talking about..."
In fact, he felt it was funny in his heart, and he didn't expect that the other party would misunderstand him and have ulterior motives.
Something was added to the tea soup. It was not poison but some kind of medicine that could dissolve the true energy. It was soundless and tasteless and difficult to distinguish. If his perception hadn't been extremely sharp, he might not have been able to detect it for a while.
It's just that this kind of medicinal powder that transforms energy has no effect on Qin Yun at all. He cultivates Haoran's righteousness and is not afraid of all evils, so a little medicinal powder is not a problem.
Of course Mrs. Xu didn't know this, and sneered: "I'm sorry, I won't kill you. If you are innocent, I will let you go when you get to Lucheng. Now I can only aggrieve you."
She gently pressed her abdomen with one hand: "But don't make any plans. For my child, I will never mind getting my hands stained with blood!"
Xu Changwei's eyes showed an apologetic look, and his lips moved a few times, but in the end he did not speak.
Mrs. Xu looked extremely determined and ordered the maid: "Tie him up and give him to Old Chen to take care of!"
The two maids looked at each other and both grabbed Qin Yun's left and right arms.
Both women were fifteen or sixteen years old, with bright eyes and white teeth, and delicate bodies, but their sudden attack was sharp and swift. Their fingers were like hooks and they struck at the vital joints of Qin Yun's arms. They struck a three-word key that was steady, accurate, and ruthless.
"ah!"
But before their slender fingers could grasp Qin Yun, their delicate bodies suddenly shook as if struck by lightning, and they both fell to the ground with a cry of tenderness!
Mrs. Xu's expression on the opposite side of the round table changed, and she immediately slapped Qin Yun with her palm.
Bang!
This palm hit Qin Yun firmly on the chest, with a dull sound like thunder that shook the entire carriage.
But Qin Yun sat motionless, with faint red armor condensing around his body!
"Gang Qi turns into armor!"
Mrs. Xu was immediately horrified, looking at Qin Yun with incredible eyes: "You clearly drank my Qi Transformation Powder, how could you..."
Qin Yun couldn't help but shook his head. The other party drugged and attacked him, but he was not very angry: "Madam, I think you have really misunderstood. I am not your enemy."
Mrs. Xu's face turned green and red. She was originally intelligent by nature. If Qin Yun hadn't appeared strangely and was concerned about the safety of her husband and children, she wouldn't have taken such a risky plan.
It's just that at this point, she still can't see that Qin Yun does not have any malicious intentions. Otherwise, with the strength he has shown, it would be easy to kill everyone here, and there is no need to talk nonsense at all.
Xu Changwei on the side said quickly: "Yes, yes! I think Mr. Qin is not a bad person. Madam, you really misunderstood, why don't you apologize quickly!"
He bowed deeply to Qin Yun and said: "Master Qin, I'm sorry, my wife, ugh..."
"Young Master, Young Madam, what happened?"
At this moment, the voice of the guarding warriors came from outside.
Mrs. Xu took a long breath and said loudly: "It's nothing, just be careful and don't worry about it!"
When she heard the warrior outside agreeing, she turned to look at Xu Changwei, glaring her eyes and scolding: "What's wrong with me?"
Xu Changwei shrank his head with a frown on his face, as if he wanted to say something but didn't dare.
Qin Yun couldn't help laughing. This Mr. Xu was a good-looking man, but he was henpecked.
But it's normal to think about it, his wife has innate strength.
Mrs. Xu's pretty face turned red. She bowed her head to Qin Yun and said, "Mr. Qin, I'm so rude and offensive. Your Excellency has shown so many noble gestures and accepted the punishment. I have no complaints at all!"
Qin Yun smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, your words are serious, it's just a small misunderstanding."
After the misunderstanding was resolved, the atmosphere in the carriage suddenly became much more relaxed. Under Madam Xu's instructions, the two maids who had recovered from their tension brought tea again - of course, the new tea had no additives.
.
Mrs. Xu seemed to be very curious about Qin Yun's origins: "Mr. Qin, you are so powerful, I wonder which sect you are from?"
Qin Yun said: "I am not an expert, I am a disciple of Tiancheng Sword Sect."
"It turns out he is a member of the Sword Sect!" Mrs. Xu suddenly said: "No wonder the strength is so strong, Shui Ying feels ashamed!"
Shuiying should be Mrs. Xu's maiden name. Qin Yun smiled lightly and asked Xu Changwei: "Mr. Xu, did you and your sister-in-law escape from Yingcheng?"
Xu Changwei sighed and said: "Yes!"
It turns out that Xu Changwei is a hereditary baron, and the Xu family is one of the best in Ying City. However, Xu Changwei's parents died early, and the family is not prosperous.
He is also very low-key in his daily life.
However, recently, the Western pirates and Dayan cavalry have been frequently raiding the border, and Yingcheng has been the first to bear the brunt. Although the small town has not been breached, Xu Changwei took his wife, who was pregnant with Liujia, to seek refuge in the eastern part of Dayan, considering the safety of his family.
However, whether intentionally or unintentionally, Xu Changwei did not tell the origin of Mrs. Xu.
Qin Yun did not ask the truth. He was more concerned about the situation in the western frontier of Great Yan. When talking about this, Xu Changwei became even more indignant: "Dayan doesn't care about our western frontier at all. Yingcheng doesn't even have a regular garrison.
Relying only on local guards to maintain it, once the Great Yuan really attacks, they will definitely not be able to withstand it!"
"I heard on the way that many places in Western Xinjiang have fallen into the hands of thieves, but half of Dayan's army is missing. I think if this continues, something big will happen sooner or later!"
