Chapter 55: Yangcheng Water Turbidity! (I)
The Covenant of Fangfu
The two didn't know how much they drank, anyway, Xiao Er was unusually happy that night, even if he didn't close his eyes all night.
With the wine and food money of these three masters alone, the shopkeeper this month can't treat him badly.
What made him even happier was that these three masters had drunk for a night, and the room of the three of them naturally didn't need to be cleaned today.
As soon as the day dawned, the man in blue opened his eyes.
After the shopkeeper obtained his consent, he helped the three of them upstairs to settle up, and then came down to clean up, although he was a little tired, but when he thought of the silver taels spent by the three masters last night, and thought of the reward money he could get, all the fatigue was swept away.
After he cleaned up, he said hello to the shopkeeper who came with his waist stretched, and then he changed shifts with his companion today.
When Xu Changan woke up, it was already afternoon.
He opened his eyes and saw that the rain of late autumn was shining on Yangcheng, and the humid air carried a trace of cold wind into it, and he sat on the edge of the bed and looked at the big sword wrapped in linen cloth at the head of the bed, and then he felt a little relieved. When I turned my head, there was a brand new set of green shirts next to the bed, which I thought was arranged by Lan Yu.
He picked up the green shirt, draped it over his body, and walked to the bedside.
Several girls wore white dresses and umbrellas, carried skirts, and walked through the streets with a series of laughter, sometimes covering their mouths and looking into the distance, sometimes with a shy face, and their red faces were redder than persimmons at this time. I think it's to see a certain favorite son or talk about a sweetheart. The few remaining lotus-shaped wishing lamps in the river were lying quietly in the river, and the golden leaves of the river blocked their way through the wind and rain all night.
There are only a few hawkers on the street who are selling, and there is a person who sells rock sugar gourds and hurriedly runs forward carrying the gourds, now it is just a light rain, if the rain is heavier, I am afraid that the rock sugar gourds that have been made for a long time will be reimbursed again.
A man who looks like a wealthy merchant and is about the age of confusion holds an umbrella, and under the umbrella is his wife, who is pregnant with Rokka.
The little maid next to her was holding an umbrella, and when she saw that half of her master's body was wet, she wanted to take the opportunity to show herself, but she couldn't blend into the couple, so she could only hold the umbrella by herself and protect herself tightly.
There was also a young man in brocade clothes on the street, walking in the rain with his head bowed and not saying a word. The woman in the pink dress in front of her walked as she went, as if he were her slave.
Xu Changan looked at this scene, and suddenly seemed to have returned to Chang'an.
Bluestone slab street, rain hitting the eaves.
Aren't these boys and girls exactly who they were at the beginning and Mo Qingshui?
He smiled slightly, but then, thinking of the situation of meeting her last night, his heart tightened, and he felt uncomfortable when he thought of what Lan Yu said.
At this moment, a soldier rushed over on a fast horse.
The speed of the horse did not decrease in the slightest, as if the people above had something big to do.
The girl walked forward with her head down, not noticing the approaching horses.
And she seemed to be angered by the teenager, so she just walked forward and caught up with the rich merchant couple who were buying and selling on the roadside.
The horse's speed did not diminish in the slightest, like an arrow off the string.
Many of the people saw that the horses were fleeing, and many of the street vendors had spilled their goods all over the ground, and before they could curse a few words, the horses went away.
But on the contrary, the rich businessman and his wife, the girl and the teenager who were worried about the teenager didn't have time to react, and looking at this posture, they would definitely be hit.
He was hit by a galloping horse, and was either killed or wounded.
Especially the rich businessman and his wife, whose wife is still pregnant.
Xu Changan didn't think much about it, his hand was in the shape of a claw, grabbed it towards the side of the bed, and suddenly jumped down.
By the time he jumped into the air, two items were already in his hands.
Before they could react, the rich merchant and the woman hurriedly hugged each other, and the rich merchant protected the woman, and the two closed their eyes tightly; the girl watched the horse enlarge in front of her eyes, and was so frightened that she forgot to dodge, and could only scream loudly; the young man hurried forward, but the horse swept past him like a gust of wind, and passed by, but he also rolled to the ground due to the slightest collision and panic.
Everyone has a bad feeling that the horse's hooves will be stained with blood today!
They all closed their eyes, not daring to look at this scene.
There was a long hiss, and the sound of a heavy object crashing to the ground was heard.
When they opened their eyes, the rich merchant touched himself, and then looked at his wife in his arms, and suddenly let out a long breath, while the maiden looked at the blood-stained horses' hooves on the ground with a blank expression.
The horse's hooves were stained with blood, but not human blood, but its blood.
All eyes were on the girl's front.
A man dressed in white obscene clothes (ancient underwear) stood in front of her, holding a long black sword in his hand, with a silver-white mask on his face, revealing only his eyes, chin, and lips for easy viewing and eating.
On the ground, there was a gray linen cloth, and a green shirt fell on the ground not far away.
The horse was dressed in rough clothes on the ground, and there was blood all under it.
The moment the armor saw someone raising his sword, he jumped off the horse, was slightly injured, and at this time, his face was full of anger, he pulled out the long sword at his waist and walked towards Xu Changan.
"You dare to obstruct the official's office, do you want to die!"
As he spoke, he stabbed at Xu Changan with a long sword, and Xu Changan looked at this armor soldier coldly, not dodging or dodging.
The rich merchant came back to his senses at this time, and he was about to speak, as if it was too late.
The soldier's long sword fell three inches away from Xu Changan's chest, and cold sweat broke out on the soldier's forehead.
The person in front of him didn't move at all, but his long sword couldn't move forward half an inch.
When the wealthy businessman saw this scene, the eyes that fell on Xu Changan also changed rapidly, from worry to relaxation, and then to awe.
Those who can do this, of course, know what that means.
This is a practitioner!
The armor soldier gritted his teeth and said, "This is an official document sent to the Inspectorate, if it is slow, I'm afraid you won't be able to afford it!"
Xu Changan didn't speak, he looked at him coldly, but his heart moved.
The official document of the Inspectorate is naturally to tell Mo Qingshui about it, otherwise he can't think of anything to tell the Inspectorate in this Yangcheng, and he is so eager.
Seeing that Xu Changan did not move, the armor soldier thought that he was bluffed.
After all, there are very few people in the rivers and lakes who block the affairs of the imperial court, and the imperial court will not interfere in the rivers and lakes.
He didn't want much, he just hoped that the person in front of him would give him a step down, and that's it. After all, it is extremely rare to see a cultivator bowing his head to himself, and this is something that can be boasted about for a lifetime.
Xu Changan didn't say anything, stretched out his hand, grabbed the tip of the sword with his fingers, and with a light movement of his fingertips, the tip of the sword fell to the ground, making a crisp sound.
The rain became heavier and heavier, and the horse had only breath out, not in.
Blood mixed with rainwater flowed into the river, giving the golden and clear river a hint of red.
"Inspectorate business, get out!"
When the armorer saw that the masked stranger did not speak, he roared.
Behind him is the imperial court, and he is not afraid of the people in the rivers and lakes.
"The Son of Heaven who is the world is the Son of Heaven of the people of the world, and he does not belong to the Inspectorate, nor does he belong to any surname. ”
"The foundation of the world is the people, and if the foundation is damaged, the foundation of the world is unstable. Whose life do you have received to destroy the foundations of this holy pilgrimage?"
When Xu Changan said the first sentence, he thought of the little master, but when he said the latter sentence, it was pure nonsense.
He knew that the biggest reliance of this armor soldier was the "adults" who came to the Inspectorate, so he would ride horses in the city. And his words, although there is a bit of a tiger skin to make a banner, but if this armor is a smart person, he will naturally retreat, if the matter is big, I am afraid that Pan Jinhai of the Supervision Institute will not be able to afford it.
And the most important thing is that Xu Changan is not afraid of making things big.
The downtown hurts people, but I am afraid that it will give a lot of literati and ink writers a lot of emotion.
The armor soldier was not a stupid person, and when he heard this, his face changed, he snorted coldly, dropped his long sword, and ran towards the residence of the county guard.
A state is divided into counties, each of which has a city, and below the county are the counties, which are made up of several towns. At the beginning, the four prefectures of Tongzhou can be counted as four counties.
Xu Changan didn't bother to care about him, anyway, he knew that the inspectorate was going to report to him, although that person didn't recognize him, he might block it for a while.
Seeing that the armor was gone, the rich merchant came up and saluted and said a few words of thanks, Xu Changan didn't bother to remember his name, so he picked up the linen and green shirt on the ground and left directly.
But before leaving, he glanced at the young man who was comforting the girl, and his eyes sparkled.
......
Xu Changan returned to the inn, and the two of them also woke up, Xu Changan and the two of them talked about it, and the two of them didn't take it to heart, after all, for them, this couldn't make much of a storm at all.
They still lived in the store, but the news spread quickly, and the shopkeeper looked at the three of them not only like looking at the God of Wealth, but also with a hint of awe.
What made the three of them a little strange was that no one came to look for trouble in the past two days, and the shopkeeper did not drive the three away.
In the past two days, Xu Changan has been walking out of the city every day, but whenever he sees someone delivering an official document, he either quietly takes the official document, or knocks him unconscious, and then takes the official document.
Sure enough, as Xu Changan expected, these official documents were to report the arrest of Mo Qingshui, and at the same time, to his surprise, these official documents also mentioned him.
Of course not because of what happened on the street.
It's just that when I went to find Mo Qingshui, I didn't know how to be seen, and the official document requested to find out the identity of a mysterious person, suspecting that this person had a close relationship with the old dynasty.
There is also a painting attached to it, but there is only a silhouette on the painting, the kind that can't see the face, but the big sword on the back is a little piercing.
Xu Changan didn't think much about it, and laughed.
