Chapter Forty-Eight: Shocked!
Although he was suspicious in his heart, Qiu Yan didn't ask much after that, the two drank and ate, and quickly swept away a table of food.
"I have eaten a lot of Shudi dishes in the past few days, and I have different feelings every time. Yan Yongjie patted his stomach, looking satisfied.
"This is natural," Qiu Yan said with a smile, "Someone in the previous dynasty once commented that the dishes of Shu were 'still delicious and spicy'. Although he was not a Shu person in his previous life, he grew up here, inherited his memory, and knew something.
"Listen to Brother Qiu's meaning, do you still have an understanding of this way of cooking?" After a meal, the relationship between the two has improved a lot.
Qiu Yan shook his head and said: "It's just talking on paper, if Brother Yan is free, you might as well stay in the city for a few days and try it everywhere, although Qingchang City is small, it has all kinds of organs, and it will not disappoint you." ”
"It's not necessary, since your family has entered the city, I will set off tomorrow to find the fairy fate, Qingchang to the south is a large area of mountains and rivers, I have long heard that there are immortals living in it, and I can't let it go." Yan Yongjie smiled, ate a few more bites, and then said, "Today you are the host, when you have the opportunity, you go out of Shu, if the elder brother fails to find the fairy fate, then I will invite you to taste the food of other places, compared with this Shu cuisine, each has its own merits." ”
The two said a few more words, and when they saw that it was getting late, they left to leave, but before leaving, Qiu Yan asked the store to buy all the bread in the store, although Yan Yongjie was puzzled, but he didn't ask much.
Walking on the road, Qiu Yan asked Yan Yongjie for some martial arts questions, and the other party answered them one by one.
Although Yan Yongjie's realm is not high, he is only the pinnacle of foundation building, but he has been immersed in martial arts all his life, and has a deep understanding and understanding of practice and fighting methods.
The two walked and talked, Qiu Yan suddenly patted his head: "Yes, I almost forgot, my ancestors handed down two pages that look like martial arts cheats, the language is obscure, no one can understand it, and it is fate to meet Brother Yan today, you might as well come over tomorrow to see if you can see the clues." ”
"Is there such a thing?" Yan Yongjie was stunned for a moment and nodded, "Okay, if you can trust me, Yan will definitely do his best tomorrow." ”
The words on this page, of course, are false, and they are the arguments that Qiu Yan found in order to help Yan Yongjie.
The two of them took two more steps, and suddenly three ragged men and women rushed out next to them, skinny and bone-covered, all with their hands raised, and their thin faces were full of desire: "Good two, give me something to eat......"
Their voices are as light as mosquitoes, and some of them are weak.
Yan Yongjie felt compassion and wanted to reach into his arms to get some copper plates, but was stopped by Qiu Yan.
"It's not very useful to give money. Stopped Yan Yongjie, but Qiu Yan took out a piece of dough cake from the oiled paper bag, tore it into three pieces, and divided it among the three people.
When the three of them saw the dough, their eyes immediately lit up, and they hurriedly thanked them, and then they devoured them.
"That's not good," Qiu Yan shook his head, "It's not a good thing to swallow after being hungry for a long time, but now that they say it, they can't listen to it, so they can only deal with it simply." ”
As he spoke, on the surrounding streets, people quickly gathered one after another, but many victims came to hear the news.
Yan Yongjie's face changed slightly, and he was about to open his mouth to remind Qiu Yan, but he didn't expect Qiu Yan to stomp his foot violently!
There was a "boom", the ground trembled slightly, and the paving stones under Qiu Yan's feet were trampled to pieces, and the gravel was splashed.
Seeing this scene, the figures that were rapidly approaching stopped and were about to retreat, and even the first three people were afraid and slowly moved back.
"Be orderly," at this time, Qiu Yan spoke again, and at the same time untied the oiled paper bag, revealing a stack of dough cakes, "This pasta is hard to swallow, you have been hungry for a few days, you can't eat more, I will divide it into several pieces, divide them among you, come one by one, don't mess up, don't fight." ”
After being hungry for a few days, the temptation of the bread to people is great, although there are still doubts, but after a few people tried to step forward and each received a small piece of bread, the others suddenly became anxious, but they were afraid of Qiu Yan, so they stepped forward according to the words, one after another, and there was no confusion, which made Yan Yongjie look at it in amazement.
He traveled south and north, of course, he knew that the victims of the disaster were untamable, and if he was not careful, good things would turn into bad things, but at the moment, Qiu Yan had a dough in one hand, broke the ground with one foot, and then exported the law, which really made the hungry people keep order.
"Just this ability, at least you can be an official, this Qiu Yan is by no means a simple character, and his achievements in the future will not be simple. ”
In a short time, the stack of bread was gone.
Qiu Yan clapped his hands and looked at a hungry man holding a small piece of bread, although the power of cause and effect in his body was loosened a lot, but his heart became heavier and heavier, especially after seeing a few thin children, he frowned.
"Even if there is no causal entanglement, you can't ignore it. However, now that the bread is divided, it is useless for me to stay, so I will take a long-term view and take it step by step. ”
Thinking like this, he greeted him, and left straight with Yan Yongjie.
Behind the two of them, the ragged and hungry people stared at Qiu Yan's back with fear and gratitude, followed by the sound of landing in the crowd, and it was actually several older people who knelt down and kowtowed directly.
"Unexpectedly, Brother Qiu still has a deputy bodhisattva heart. On the way, Yan Yongjie couldn't help but sigh.
Qiu Yan shook his head and said: "It's just the right time, such a small favor is actually useless, and it is far from enough to help the victims." ”
"Brother Qiu is reasonable," Yan Yongjie listened, sighed, and sighed: "In these years, there is chaos everywhere, there are already a lot of hungry people in your city, and after two or three days, the post guard arrives, I'm afraid it will be chaos again." ”
"Well, what does Brother Yan mean by this?" Qiu Yan couldn't help but ask when he heard this.
"It's on the frontier, and it's inevitable that there will be no information. I entered Shu from Guanzhong this time, all the way to the horse, faster than the ordinary post guard, but it is only two or three days faster, and two days after tomorrow, the news of the emperor's death is estimated to be delivered. ”
"What, the emperor died?" Qiu Yan couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this.
This is not a small news, but a big news, Da Rui occupies the Middle Earth Shenzhou, Fengtian carrier, is the orthodoxy of heaven and earth, the emperor of Da Rui is the Son of Heaven, a body of luck connects the heavens and the world, the emperor's death is the displacement of the dragon's lair, the dragon vein turns over, if it encounters troubled times or prosperous times, celestial phenomena, different phases will even emerge endlessly.
Yan Yongjie nodded and said: "Yes, there will be obituaries sent to various government offices in the near future, and there is also a looming chaos in Guanzhong at the moment, I heard that it was the prince who ascended the throne and promoted the famous black-faced prince, and everyone said that the little emperor is going to change the law, the country is going to be chaotic, and people are panicking." ”
"Black-faced Princess?"
Qiu Yan frowned, his predecessor was limited to Shudi, he was dedicated to studying, and his understanding of the general trend of the world was not clear, but this black-faced man still knew.
Xianggong, in this shijie is not just the meaning of the husband, but also an honorific title, generally a scholar with a reputation can also be called Xianggong, but this word is placed in the court, it is not trivial, referring to the prime minister, the prime minister.
This black-faced prince surnamed Wang, was originally a grandmaster in the literary world, and later entered the worship of the prime minister, unique, because of the blackness of life, and iron-faced selflessness, even his younger brother committed the same reprimand, and over time he had the name of black-faced minister.
However, Qiu Yan frowned, not that he was dissatisfied with the black-faced minister, but that he was thinking about the impact of this incident on himself, although he was a scholar, and the affairs of the court had nothing to do with him, but if he wanted to take the imperial examination in the future, he must have a certain understanding of the imperial court policy, so that he could pursue the advantages and avoid the disadvantages during the imperial examination, and have a target.
"The emperor is dead, in fact, it is nothing, Da Rui is out of the two governments, governing the country and controlling the government is the two governments after all, and this imperial examination issue has always been a weather vane, which shows the proposition of the two governments, if you really want to change the law, ...... it"
After saying goodbye to Yan Yongjie, Qiu Yan pondered along the way, went to the inn to say hello to Liu Huai and others, and then went to the north of the city, walked through the streets and alleys, and soon came to a dilapidated courtyard.
The courtyard door was crooked, and the lock fell to the ground, apparently smashed.
When Qiu Yan saw it, his heart moved, and he raised his hand to push it, and the door fell aside.
"What kind of thief is this, even such a dilapidated yard...... Not good!
Suddenly, he was startled, and when he thought of something, he ran out into the courtyard and rushed straight into a side room.
The lock of this room has also been smashed, and he opened it with a push of his hand, and when he saw the scene inside, Qiu Yan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
