Chapter 296: Arriving at Longjiang City

Mu Chen sat in the tea shed and drank tea with an indifferent expression, and from time to time twisted up the dried meat in the oiled paper belt on the table and threw it into his mouth, and after a while, the sweaty guard walked in quickly, and explained the situation, "Childe, the corpse has been all disposed of, do you want to continue on the road next?" ”

Mu Chen smiled slightly, "Don't worry, do you know who the son who saved me just now?" ”

The guard was stunned, "Subordinates remember... His name is Gu Jinfeng? I'm afraid I won't know the exact origin until I return to the capital. ”

"Well, then wait until the capital to find out, this person is thoughtful, and his martial arts are not weak, but he is a talent."

The guards replied, "Yes!" The carriage has been prepared, and it is only two days away from the capital, and his subordinates have already sent someone to inform Lord Song that reinforcements will come soon. ”

When Mu Chen heard this, the corners of his mouth hooked up a touch of mockery, "Song Rujin, this old fox, must not come too fast, it's better to pay attention to it yourself." ”

"My subordinates understand!"

On the other side, Qi Ling looked out the window with a somewhat wistful expression, it had been almost an hour since he set off from the teahouse, and the scenery around here was basically the same, and he was tired of seeing it for a long time.

She subconsciously yawned and rubbed her eyes, the carriage shook and shook really made people a little sleepy, and the little tiger on the opposite side had already fallen asleep in her aunt's arms.

"Sleepy?"

Gu Jinfeng's faint voice came from the side, and Qi Ling shook his head lightly, "It's just a little boring, why don't you chat with me?" ”

The corners of his lips hooked, "What do you want to talk about?" ”

Qi Ling thought for a while, "I'm just a little curious about that one named Mu Chen, don't you think he's a little strange?" ”

"Oh? Where did you see that? ”

"First of all, you can see it from the way he dresses...... By the way, I haven't asked you why you stopped me from giving him jerky? ”

Gu Jinfeng glanced at her, "You all know that he is extraordinary, and he is so attentive to sending him things, so you are not afraid that his guards will arrest you as an assassin?" ”

As soon as he talked about it, he felt a little uncomfortable.

Qi Ling suddenly realized and patted his little brain, "Why do you say that I am missing a tendon!" I didn't expect such a serious thing! ”

If it weren't for the real sneak attackers, wouldn't she be...... For the first time, Qi Ling realized the sinister nature of the rivers and lakes.

He sat up straight, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, "A blind person like you will have to study hard in the future, if my guess is correct, the place where this son is going should be the capital." ”

"Beijing? …… Could this son be a nobleman in the capital? This scared Qi Ling, and in an instant, a lot of plots popped up in her mind, this Mu Chen not only looked extraordinary, but also faintly carried a sense of nobility, Qi Ling's heart was even more entangled.

"Judging from his demeanor, he shouldn't be an ordinary person, but these have nothing to do with us, it's just a meeting in Pingshui."

Hearing his words, Qi Ling laughed out loud, "You can see it better than me, that's right, Pingshui met, but you still saved someone's life, maybe you will start investigating your identity when you go back." ”

"Hugh is going to talk nonsense." Gu Jinfeng's tone was a little angry, "This kind of thing can't be taken out and talked about." ”

Qi Ling stuck out his tongue and hurriedly raised his hand to make a surrender form: "Okay, okay, then I won't say it, okay?" You can't afford to make a joke at all! ”

With Gu Jinfeng having a word, Qi Ling was not so sleepy, and when it was close to evening, the carriage finally arrived at the huge gate of Longjiang City.

On both sides are the soldiers who are inspecting, and they are usually just making a show, but this time they seem to be checking very strictly, and there is a long queue.

Lao Cheng stopped at the post station outside the city, he has always rested here, because the carriage needs to pay if it enters the city, and he only earns a few taels of silver when he goes down, plus the wear and tear of the carriage and horses, so it is not cost-effective to enter the city.

After Qi Ling got out of the car, he settled the rest of the car money for the two of them, and looked at the crowded city gate in front of him and felt a little strange, "What's going on in front?" Why are so many people stuck there? ”

The guy who was wiping the table next to him answered, "You're out of town, aren't you?" Now there is a very big murder case in Longjiang City, so the whole city is under martial law, and the people who enter and exit must be carefully investigated, but the trouble is tight, if you have to enter the city, I suggest that you hurry up and queue up, and when you arrive, the city gate will have to be closed, and there will be no place to live at that time. ”

When Qi Ling heard this, did he still have it? They have to go into the city to stay overnight!

"Then there will be more little brothers, let's go to the line!" Originally, I wanted to rest for a while and have a cup of tea, but I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen, and the two went to line up with their luggage.

I have to say that the officers and soldiers were indeed very strict in their inspections, and they just had to take out everything they carried with them before they stopped, and most of the clothes they brought were some clothes, and some were ......

"What's in your oily paper packets?"

The expressionless officers and soldiers picked up the paper bag with the tip of their guns, and Qi Ling hurriedly explained, "This is a butcher shop I made myself." ”

As he spoke, he picked one up and opened it, and a sweet and greasy smell of meat wafted out of it, and the officers and soldiers sniffed it and nodded slightly, "It smells quite fragrant......"

He said this, where did Qi Ling not understand, and hurriedly held it with both hands and handed it over, "Big brother has worked hard to guard the door, it is some gadgets that you have made yourself, if you don't mind, you can take it back to drink and eat." ”

The officers and soldiers bowed their heads, "Then thank you for your kindness, you have to pay attention after entering the city, it's not very peaceful recently, don't go out late at night." ”

Qi Ling smiled extraordinarily sweetly, "Thank you, big brother, for reminding me!" ”

In this way, the two people, who had to spend a while, were able to enter the city ahead of schedule because they gave out a bag of butchers, and the people behind them were envious, and the officers and soldiers stuffed the oiled paper bag into their arms and glared at them

"Line up for me, one by one! No crowds! ”

After the two entered the city, they found an inn to rest, and when they were having dinner, they learned that the person who died in the recent murder case in Longjiang City turned out to be the son of the city guard.

Qi Ling bit his chopsticks and looked abrupt, no wonder this city will strictly guard it!

I heard the guests staying next to me commenting, "I heard that the man died a terrible death!" There are dozens of wounds on his body, and he was tortured to death! ”

"It's horrible! What kind of grudge is this? ”

"Who knows, this Tang Xing is not a good thing, he often acts mischief in this Longjiang City, and if you want me to say, only when you die can you eliminate harm for the people!"

Qi Ling listened with bated breath, but he got some information.

"Don't get distracted, eat quickly." Gu Jinfeng picked up a piece of pork ribs and put it in her bowl, "This rib is not bad, try it." ”

Where does Qi Ling still have any thoughts about eating at the moment? When he put down his chopsticks, he whispered, "Have you heard, this Taishou's son seems to have died a miserable death?" ”

Gu Jinfeng raised his eyebrows: "You care so much about this matter?" ”

"I'm not bored, and besides, I'll discuss it with you when I hear it."

"If you're bored, eat quickly, I heard that there will be a dinner market in Longjiang City at night, instead of listening to this here, it's better to finish eating early and go out for a walk."

When Qi Ling heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Okay! Then let's eat quickly! ”

As she spoke, she picked up a bowl and worked hard to grill rice, this meal is naturally not as good as what she makes in Fushoulou on weekdays, but don't be too picky when you go out, and some of them are good.
