After the two girls each bought a sachet, the old man and the young man left the stall and walked forward.
In front of the stall just now, Qi Huangwu was standing at the outermost end, and now he was walking in the front.
Qi Huangwu was born tall and dark-skinned. After training with the juniors Xi Weiyu and Yunzhang more than a year ago, he became more and more immersed in the martial arts atmosphere. He replaced the crown with a golden hairband and had a bushy head. But his long, fluffy hair easily stood up in the wind, always lifting him up a bit.
There is no Taoist temperament in his body, but more like a Buddhist tutu.
It's just that this Toutuo, who is as burly as a mountain, has a delicate and honest face, and he can express emotions easily.
Therefore, it is easy for people to underestimate him and relax his vigilance.
Only people who are close to her know that this tiger may seem flamboyant and wild, but in fact, it can maintain enough patience in front of every gorgeous rose to catch the dangerous murderous intention contained in it.
The six of them seemed to be walking aimlessly until they stopped at a candy blower's booth that was also surrounded by many people.
Qi Huangwu chose a very particular position for them. Not only could they admire the skill of the sugar blower, but if they turned sideways and looked back on the road, they could also catch a glimpse of the scene at the sachet stall.
Qi Huangsu smiled casually and said, "It seems that junior brother is very interested in girls' gadgets?"
Qi Huangwu did not deny it and said: "Well, it was too fast, those hands."
Qi Huangsu stroked his beard, recalled what he had just seen, and said: "While embroidering the sachets, he was greeting the guests to collect and pay money. The sachets on the stall were bought one after another, but they always kept the twelve sachets placed there. One for each zodiac sign."
Qi Huangwu said: "Even if you keep staring at her hands, you can't tell how fast she is embroidering. But as long as a sachet of a zodiac sign is bought at the stall, she can embroider that zodiac sign in the blink of an eye. The sachet bag will be replenished."
Qi Huangsu asked doubtfully: "A blind trick?"
After saying that, he shook his head repeatedly.
The exquisitely embroidered sachet bags in the hands of the two girls cannot be faked.
The postures of the zodiac signs above are embroidered according to their personal wishes and are by no means prepared in advance.
Listening to the conversation between the two uncles, Yun Zhang also discovered the problem and said: "With four embroidery needles in both hands, it is difficult for ordinary women to control them."
A woman in a mysterious skirt.
Embroidery hands.
The sleeping giant.
After shattering and reorganizing the scenes he had just seen in his mind, Qi Huangwu crossed his arms, nodded slightly and affirmed: "Those hands can control more needles."
As soon as these words came out, everyone had an ominous premonition, almost holding their breath waiting for Qi Huangwu's next analysis.
"Xiaoyu, I remember you once said that the fourteen villains in the world are not actually just fourteen people?"
Xi Weiyu paused after hearing the words, her watery eyes seemed to be pricked by needles, she blinked several times, and with each blink, the fear in her eyes grew.
However, after a moment, those fears were swept away by the stubbornness that came from nowhere.
Xi Weiyu's mood swings came and went as quickly as they came.
Outsiders may not take it seriously when they see it, but the five people around them see it and feel pain in their hearts.
The scene where Yuntian Temple was on the verge of destruction a year and a half ago is still vivid in the minds of the six people. Xi Weiyu, who has experienced more related things, is undoubtedly the person who has fallen into the deepest self-blame in the entire Yuntian Temple.
That experience had an unprecedented psychological impact on the little witch who was always pampered at the time.
Once bitten by a snake, and fearful of well ropes for ten years, time has not faded Xi Weiyu's memory of that experience.
Therefore, after coming to the arena to gain experience, Xi Weiyu paid special attention to the types of people who had originally intended to be detrimental to her and Yuntian Guan.
Among them are the fourteen evil people represented by the Divine Whip Shen Bian.
The rivers and lakes are dangerous and there are countless people who have committed many evil deeds. The reason why the fourteen evil people can be called this name is frightening and makes people change their temper when they hear it. In addition to the countless evil deeds they have committed, it is also because they are all martial arts. Strong people.
The fourteen evil men are indeed fourteen evil men, but there are more than fourteen people.
Just because there is a bad person, there is always another person accompanying him, inseparable.
Everyone followed Qi Huangwu's gaze and looked at the sachet stall again.
Just ten feet away from the stall, I saw a giant man lying on the ground with most of his face covered by a cattail leaf fan, sleeping soundly with his mouth open.
If one had not observed carefully, one would probably have regarded him as someone who had nothing to do, and would not have connected him with the woman in the black skirt in front of him.
Xi Wei calmed down and said: "There are fifteen evil people out of the fourteen, because there is always a Cowherd by the Weaver Girl's side."
The Fourteen Evil Men are highly skilled in martial arts, so they are arrogant and have weird temperaments. Most of them are solitary and elusive. Many people in the world only hear their names but don't know their faces.
When they don't show anything different from ordinary people, it is really difficult to identify them in the streets and alleys.
The reason why Qi Huangwu was able to confirm the identity of the two, apart from their characteristics, was that he was sure that they had never seen a stall embroidering sachets on the street ten days ago, or even seven days ago!
Yun Longkui was obviously frightened by the name of the Fourteen Evil Men. She unintentionally ate the last candied haws on the wooden stick in her hand, and said nonchalantly: "Why are they here?"
No one answered her. In fact, Yun Longkui had the answer in her own mind.
Of course, Weaver Girl and Cowherd would not come here to sell sachets for no reason, just to kill time.
The reason why evil people do evil is nothing more than profit and desire.
There is no untouchable Buddha, only the desire for profit that fails to hit the opponent's vital points. Shen Bian's adventure into Cangwu Mountain with the romantics is a good example.
For a time, one old man and five young men were filled with sorrow.
Weaver Girl and Cowherd appeared here, and the six of them might not be able to fight.
Just because someone can invite the Fourteen Evil Men, does it also mean that more powerful people will gather?
…
…
In the bamboo forest.
One man and one horse headed north slowly.
Affected by his unhealed eyes, Jiang Yichen could not move very fast.
Based on what the old man said in the letter and the information he learned from the person in charge of Pinghai County of the Daoyi Alliance, the Niu family father and daughter he wanted to deal with set off from Jinzhou City south to Yao Valley more than half a month ago, and there were some twists and turns in Luzhou. , was stranded until yesterday before getting back on the road.
He started from Pinghai County, passed through Dongting County, and reached Yancheng County, the place where he met.
You can arrive at the destination of Baiju Town at least half a day in advance of the other party to familiarize yourself with the local conditions.
Planning and preparing in advance has become Jiang Yichen's habit.
Based on his understanding of the old man, the old man would never let him join in the fun without any purpose. Since he was asked to go to pick up people, he would definitely make the best use of them.
But he is more aware that he is a "superfluous person", or that he is an unplanned guarantee.
The leading party in this matter is Tingyuge, and the Daoyi Alliance is more cooperative. Luo Piaoling's arrangements and layout should never be underestimated, but the old man is still more careful, and he will definitely encounter considerable resistance.
There is no need for Jiang Yichen to delve into the source of resistance now.
What he should be concerned about is where the resistance will appear.
Judging from the court's reaction to this matter, resistance can only appear in places where the court cannot see it, otherwise it will be against the court.
So where is the place that the court cannot see?
Or is it a place where the court will turn a blind eye?
After the Hundred Flowers Conference, the imperial court was proud and proud, but the deployment of military forces in various places was difficult to make out of thin air, and local control was extremely limited. This is why the imperial court did not take advantage of the situation to suppress the major rivers and lakes forces.
As far as Pinghai County is concerned, its territory is so vast that the imperial court could not control it in the past, but now even if elite troops are stationed, it is still difficult to overwhelm the entire county.
If they want to block the path of the Niu family and their daughter, Pinghai County is the perfect place.
However, Pinghai County is not far from Jiangning County. Jiangning County is the headquarters of Tingyu Pavilion and Daoyi League. Under the watchful eye of the court, extending your hand too far or even starting a fight will definitely violate the court's taboo. You can lean forward a little and sweep in front of the door. Snow is not an exaggeration.
Therefore, although the journey to Pinghai County is more than fifty miles, it is not short, but it is safe.
To the north of Pinghai County is Dongting County, and further north is Yancheng County.
The combined area of Dongting County and Yancheng County is not as large as Pinghai County.
The yamen's military deployment is also half-measured. It is more than enough to control Xixi Town and Tinghu Town in their respective territories, but it is difficult to take care of the entire county.
From Baiju Town at the southern end of Yancheng County to Caoyan Town at the northern end of Dongting County, there are vacancies that cannot be seen by the imperial court.
This gap is very small, just thirty miles is just a drop in the bucket of the entire Zhongzhou.
This gap is huge. Thirty miles is enough to swallow up hundreds of lives!
The biggest resistance will appear here.
Along the way, Jiang Yichen had figured out the key, and his mood became more relaxed, and he even had the leisure to stroll in the bamboo forest.
Suddenly, in the bamboo forest ahead, a strong wind blew, and the birds and beasts dispersed in fright.
After sitting down, the horse not only stopped moving forward, but turned around and wanted to go away.
Jiang Yichen caressed the horse's neck but could not calm it down.
Suddenly, even he felt like his breath was suffocating!
