On the official road, two carriages drove slowly.
It's just that compared to the ordinary inconspicuous carriage in front, the carriage in the back is more noble, with three extraordinary horses. The interior of the carriage is decorated with dark blue dye that can only be used by nobles, and there is an incense cauldron. Surrounded by sandalwood.
In the carriage, a man and a woman were sitting and standing. The man in black feather clothes rested his head on his hands and read a bamboo scroll in one hand. He looked at it slowly, showing his elegant and scholarly atmosphere.
The woman is more dignified and virtuous, with a bright mirror and a comb slowly sliding over the soft three thousand blue hair.
Poetic and picturesque, a talented man and a beautiful woman come into view. The young master and the beautiful woman are none other than Qin Feng, who showed off his skills in the Chunfeng Inn, and Xiao Yi, the purple-furred beauty who showed off her skills as a maid.
"Master Qin, we will arrive at Huozhu Town soon."
At this time, the groom who was driving said this.
The groom had a pockmarked face and was still wearing the heavily patched linen clothes. He was actually the waiter and waiter from the Spring Breeze Inn.
Seeing that no one answered, the young man was not annoyed. Instead, he scratched his head and then drove slightly slower.
"This young man is neither greedy for money nor seeking profit. He knows how to repay kindness. Looking at his appearance before, I thought he was just a dullard. Unexpectedly, he knows how to observe these small things."
"It's not in vain that the young master saw that he had nowhere to go, so he invited him to work as a groom."
The purple-furred woman covered her mouth with a smile and said.
After hearing this, Qin Feng just turned over the bamboo scroll in his hand, patted it and said with a smile, "It's true that people do a good job in dealing with things, but this car is too stable. Could it be that there are three magic horses and two flat-footed horses?" Can’t even catch up?”
The soundproofing effect inside the car is very good. People outside can't hear what's inside unless you speak loudly.
When Xiao Yi saw this, as someone who had been with Qin Feng for many years, she immediately understood it and raised her voice specially: "Young Master, the young master said, ours is a fine horse, could it be done by someone else?" Has he become a bad horse?"
After a while, the speed of the carriage gradually increased, and soon it caught up with the carriage in front and headed towards Red Candle Town.
"Master Qin, it is not a good idea for Master Zhang and Mr. Hanxue to come here to Lizhou."
Qin Feng listened to the worry in Xiao Yi's words, put down the bamboo scroll, crossed his hands and smiled: "Oh, they are a stepping stone. Ever since I muddied the water in Qi State, more and more people like this will come to Lizhou." There are many... Of course, since they are the first batch, and they are the imperial minister and the top Confucian scholar, I am afraid that the two in the capital are planning to fight to the death."
Xiao Yi smiled sweetly, "Young Master Qin, please don't forget the agreement you made with me back then. Although so many years have passed,... Jiang will never forget it until his death."
Speaking of the latter part, the purple-fur beauty's originally warm and spring-like face gradually turned into a cold winter face, feeling chilly.
Qin Feng saw the sudden change of the beauty beside him and said as if he was used to it: "You don't believe Qin Feng, how can you trust Young Master Jade?"
At this point, the purple-fur beauty returned to her previous charming face, her delicate body leaned forward slightly, revealing the large white area between her breasts, and said charmingly: "Young Master Yu, of course I believe it, after all, who in the world can not believe in Young Master Yu?" ?”
Qin Feng didn't hold back. He looked directly at the beauty in front of him with a pair of beautiful red phoenix eyes and said: "Unfortunately, Mr. Yu is right in front of you. What can you do?"
"Not much, but...Jiang Yinu, the princess of the Jin Kingdom, will do her best to assist Mr. Yu in completing the great cause of the world."
"The Kingdom of Jin? Oh, I don't know how many years it has been like a pile of loess."
"..."
"Mr. Zhang, they are going to Red Candle Town."
In the carriage driven by flat-footed horses, Zhang Chao and Li Hanxue heard the coachman outside delivering a message.
When Li Hanxue heard this, he slightly opened the corner of the curtain and found that just as the coachman said, the gorgeous carriage that was originally behind had already sped away.
"This group of people also want to stay in Red Candle Town for a while?"
"After we said goodbye at Chunfeng Inn, are we really, as he said, fellow travelers?"
The middle-aged man Zhang Chao closed his eyes slightly and muttered to himself, wondering what he was thinking.
"Zhang Shangshu, why should we go to Hongzhu Town? Shouldn't we go to Qin Mansion in Jiangnan City?"
"Lizhou Qin Mansion, how can I go there just when I want to..."
"We followed that order. How dare he, Qin Zhan, still dare to show his power after more than ten years?"
Li Hanxue knows that Qin Zhan's methods are powerful. Almost when he fought against the two great kingdoms of Jin and Zhao, Qin Zhan not only covered the sky with one hand, but at least he was "below one person and above ten thousand people."
Just because, throughout the Qin Dynasty, he, Qin Zhan, was in charge of thousands of troops and horses, and commanded a hundred thousand heavy cavalry. He conquered the two countries of Jin and Zhao in consecutive years, and the loss of millions of lives left the two territories with sparsely populated and desolate white land. , such an outrageous behavior...
Therefore, Qin Zhan has another title collectively referred to by the world, King Shura.
The Qin Dynasty at that time also prospered because of this "Shura" and became the first dynasty in the world today.
According to rumors, at that time, this man was the first person to openly go to court with a sword, and even openly committed regicide on an important official in the court, causing blood to be seen at the emperor's feet. He was so arrogant and arrogant that no one dared to write a book and write a memorial for a while. Even the emperor of Qin Dynasty had to avoid the sharp edge.
Li Hanxue couldn't imagine that someone would actually dare to commit such a serious crime of rebellion, and still be safe and unpunished.
"The tiger has all its teeth pulled out, but it still has strength. What's more, this tiger is still a Yin tiger living in the mountains. More than ten years have only made his strength weaker, but the sharp teeth are not necessarily Gone."
When Li Hanxue heard this, he pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Then according to Master Shangshu's wishes, it is necessary for Qin Zhan to come to Beijing to meet the Holy Spirit. Isn't it enough to have that order?"
There was a murmur, silence.
Li Hanxue looked at the entire outline of Hongzhu Town in front of him, and suddenly said something astonishing: "There are rumors that the late emperor visited Hongzhu Town in Lizhou when he traveled south during the summer heat."
After a pause, he opened his mouth again and said, "Is there... someone who cares about you here?"
What does it mean to be attached to someone, to be attached to someone, to be attached to someone, to be attached to a lover?
Zhang Chao slowly opened his eyes, a look of relief appeared on his face as he listened to the words spoken by the young Confucian beside his ear, which would have been enough to behead someone outside.
"Of course it's not enough. The sky is high and the emperor is far away. The feudal lords are establishing separate regimes... Is it possible that you haven't heard of it after ten years of hard study in Han Dynasty?"
"Master Zhang, it's seventeen years."
"Han Xue is now twenty?"
"Yes, it will be full after the beginning of spring..."
"It takes a long time to read the books of sages."
As for the so-called missing person, the former emperor paid a private visit in private, but the two of them had a very tacit understanding and did not talk anymore.
The black-feathered man Qin Feng and the purple-furred beauty were sitting in the inn, but coincidentally, this place was also the center of the inn where the two parties saw a critical moment.
Anyone with eyesight knows that this place is not suitable for sitting. I have kindly reminded you before, but you are still so ignorant of praise. Could it be that another young master brought his maid out to see the so-called world of the world?
"this...."
The waiter, who had a sweat towel spread out on his shoulders, sighed inwardly, gave up in frustration, and was about to leave.
After all, I am just a waiter in an inn, and it is not easy to run around for a living every day. It is better to have less contact with this kind of muddy water in the world.
It was also at this time that Qin Feng smiled from the corners of his eyes, and his joints were as clear as a woman's slender fingers, tapping slightly on the square table.
Qin Feng was pouring tea for Qin Feng, who was very skilled in making tea. He stopped here for a moment.
Somehow, her red lips smiled, which made the tense atmosphere around her slightly relax at this moment. A beautiful smile is indeed the most extraordinary thing in the world.
"Waiter, take the money... One order of sake, three plates of your famous meat side dishes, two plates of cauliflower, and a bowl of rice..."
The waiter looked at the beautiful woman and slowly opened her hands again. It was the ingot of gold and silver that made him excited. He knew that the gold ingot could save him from having to worry about his livelihood for at least a year.
"only...."
The waiter looked around unnaturally. He knew that a small person like himself should not appear in such a scene. As for whether to accept the money or not, he might be in great trouble afterwards.
Behind the wine cabinet, the shopkeeper of Chunfeng Inn saw this scene and punched the other hand with one hand. He said anxiously to himself, "Third son, what are you doing? Why don't you come back quickly?!"
As someone who has been running an inn here for decades, he has seen almost everything in the world, but his inn can still stand and make a lot of money every year. Why? It’s not just based on my decades of experience in the world of martial arts.
"Why, you should make a profit by doing business, but this money is specially rewarded to you by my young master. You still don't want it?"
The Ziqiu beauty smiled, and her words revealed a bit of regret.
This sentence directly convinced the waiter in the shop. After some hesitation, he held the white gold and silver in his hands with trembling hands and kept saying thank you.
Soon, the waiter retreated.
It takes less than one stick of incense.
Plate after plate of delicious and fragrant dishes was presented to him. Judging from the silent expression on the waiter's face, it seemed that the ingot of gold had not fallen into his pocket.
However, whenever he faced the Ziqiu woman and Qin Feng, he would still squeeze out a smile on his bitter face to show his return.
When the five dishes were completely served, everyone saw the beauty with purple fur slowly pulling out the silver shorts from her hair. The silver shorts were also exquisite, with a thick handle and a thin tip like a thin silver needle.
Ever since this man and woman entered the inn, no one had looked at them. It was because their behavior and speech were too weird.
On the other side, the middle-aged man Zhang Chao saw the purple-furred woman holding a silver pantyhose, lightly pricking each dish, even the sake.
After doing all this, what surprised everyone even more was that the beautiful woman actually used her chopsticks first, picked up each dish and tasted it first.
Finally, I took a sip of sake and looked at the fermented sake that had not even dropped in the glass. I couldn't help but wonder if it was just a smell?
Anyone could tell that the purple-qiu beauty was testing poison for the black plume master.
Who is this young master?
After a few breaths, the young master Qin Feng beside him slowly picked up his chopsticks, took the rice handed by the purple fur beauty, and began to... "eat"?
It was like a few common folk dishes, all of which were eaten by the man with black feathers and turned out to be famous dishes made by the imperial chef of the Great Qin royal family.
"Which noble family does this young man come from? Not only does he take a beauty with him when he goes out, but he also lets the beauty test the poison himself. He is so particular about it. He must not be an ordinary person, right?"
Li Hanxue took a sip of wine and ate a bite of food, and his eyes couldn't stop looking at the delicate body of the purple-fur beauty. He had never seen this peerless woman...
She and the man with black feathers ate at the same table and had the same dishes, but looking at the behavior of the man with black feathers, they felt very different.
Why is this?
"It doesn't matter if he is a local snake or a river dragon, let him show off. Anyway, the current situation is that the muddier the water, the better. For you and me, the purpose of this trip is not bad."
After saying that, Zhang Chao shook the wine glass in his hand with his left hand and pressed it slightly with his right hand, as if it was some kind of hint. In an instant, everyone around Zhang Chao and Li Hanxue started eating their food as if nothing had happened. Make small talk.
"Zhang Shang..."
"Ahem."
"Mr. Zhang, do you also think that there is something wrong with those gangsters?"
Li Hanxue heard Zhang Chao's cough and immediately changed his tone.
Zhang Chao glanced at the official Hanxue. He was still a bit young. He had strong knowledge but lacked stamina. His eyesight was still shallow. If he could sharpen it a little, he might become a scholar. In today's world, scholars are also indispensable.
On this trip, the Assistant Minister asked this person to follow me to Beijing. He must have had many intentions. After all, he is a closed student, so it is not a bad idea to promote him.
Thinking of this, Zhang Chao thought up some words and said: "Hanxue, look at those Jianghu people, what difference do you find?"
Li Hanxue noticed that Zhang Chao's tone was different from before and had a more solemn tone. He knew that this was intentionally teaching him. The teacher had said this to him when he was sent here.
This time I went to Beijing and learned from Chao.
There are only a few words, but it is also very easy to understand. The teacher wants to learn from Zhang Chao and understand different academic principles from him.
Confucian disciples should draw inferences from one example, so there is a place for Tao and a place for teachers. Wherever the reason is, there is also a teacher.
This is the most important principle that every Confucian scholar should understand, let alone other officials and scholars? He is the leading young representative of Confucian scholars in the capital and one of the disciples of Da Qinfu.
Li Hanxue sat upright, looked at the gangsters again, and thought again and again: "Those gangsters acted too deliberately, especially the dead people from Qi State before that, it was really too inconsistent, it felt like Tell it specifically to us."
"Yeah, that's not wrong, but Hanxue, we can't be too shallow in our judgment of people. With the information we have, you have to know what we are here for, why they are here, and who they are here for. ."
"The causes and consequences here, and the overall situation, are the actions of those who truly achieve great things, not the actions of small people."
In the center, Qin Feng took a sip of sake and somehow managed to smile.
He nodded slightly without being noticed by outsiders, and said softly to himself: "Causes and consequences, big people, small people... Ha, he is indeed a rare understanding person, rare."
"Oh? Young Master, are you praising Zhang Chao?"
The Ziqiu beauty did not speak, but her smile was still clearly audible to Qin Feng.
Concentrating sound into a line is a special skill that can only be mastered by masters in the Xuanling Realm.
"Oh, it's not a compliment. It's just that the way that person spoke reminded me of an old friend. Compared with that person, this person is just a sensible person in the world."
The same way to gather sounds into a line, but compared to the purple fur beauty, Qin Feng used it more skillfully.
"Master, my eldest brother just said that he has a crush on your maid and wants to use your maid to catch up with old times. How about inviting her over for a drink?"
"Hey, second brother, what kind of drinks are you going to drink? Big brother just said that we are going to drink glasses of wine together. Do you guys think that's right...?"
"Ah hahaha, yes, yes, of course we have a drink..."
"Hello, madam..."
"Hello, madam..."
"Brother said before that we share blessings and share hardships. I wonder if this is a 'blessing'. Can brothers just drink soup without eating meat? Hahaha."
Waves of charming whistles and whistles were blown continuously, and debauched and obscene words were heard one after another in the inn.
The young master, Qin Feng, and the purple-fur beauty, who was in the form of a maid, looked at each other at the same time, and then... looked at each other and smiled.
There are not many smart people in the world, and very few understanding people.
