Seeing the shopkeeper, the waiter smiled and reminded: "Guests, please don't fight in our store!"
The waiter chatted with them for a few more words. Another customer came into the store, so he went to greet the customers. The waiter kindly reminded them of the late guests: "Guests, if you want to see the secret room, you can't sit here anymore." Well, everyone is guarding outside the city."
Several people sat at the table and reviewed the current information again, which meant that the secret room was now open and everyone was watching outside the city eagerly, so they had to go and take a look.
"A Ruan, Leader Ruan has another explanation for this matter." Shen Xuan said, with a hint of smile flashing in his eyes.
Ruan Xianbei sounded the alarm:? ? ? Why is he laughing suddenly? ? ?
"Get ready to leave after you've rested. The time is right now, and it won't be good if it's later."
The waiter quickly brought out several portions of mutton noodle soup. Mutton noodle soup is one of the specialties of Fengsha City. The soup is sprinkled with minced coriander, leeks, green onions, and minced chili peppers. It looks red, yellow, green and white, and has a fragrant aroma. Not only does it not smell bad, it also tastes delicious, spicy and refreshing, fat but not greasy.
Mutton has nourishing, heating and dispelling effects. A bowl of noodle soup is not expensive. It is a delicacy that almost everyone will eat again when they come here.
"Wow! This mutton doesn't have much flavor!" Cheng Suisui didn't like eating mutton at first. He thought the smell was too strong, but he ate dry food most of the way and this bowl of soup looked watery in front of him. It looks delicious.
The waiter passed by and answered them again: "Isn't it true that the mutton soup in our store is the best! If you guests come back in the evening, you must try the other signature dishes in our store!"
Cheng Suisui laughed and said, "Definitely."
"The waiter in this store is so enthusiastic." Lan Zhao said with a smile, and was unconsciously infected by the attitude of the waiter in this store.
"You work very hard." Ruan Xianbei also smiled.
The temperature inside the store was actually much more comfortable than outside when we got closer, but several people were sweating profusely after eating a bowl of mutton noodle soup. It was spicy and refreshing. The waiter even gave them two biscuits that were bigger than their faces. It can be eaten with soup, but the girls all said they couldn't eat any more. Shen Xuan took two bites, but Mi You ate most of it without saying a word.
They paid the bill and were about to visit the place where the secret room was born. The waiter came out and said, "Guests, please don't fight!"
Cheng Suisui laughed at why the waiter in the shop was so worried. Are there too many people fighting recently?
The southern part of the city is easy to recognize, and it becomes even easier to recognize it after you go out. Wherever there are more people, you can see the secret room hanging in the air from a distance.
Shen Xuan said to Cheng Suisui and the others: "Junior Sister, Junior Sister Lan Zhao, you go outside the city and keep an eye on them first. We still have some things to do."
you? us?
Cheng Suisui looked at Ruan Xianbei, who was classified as 'ours'. Although he was very curious, his senior brother said no and did not dare to ask, so he could only wink at Ruan Xianbei.
Ruan Xianbei shook her head. She didn't know what kind of medicine her brother was selling.
"Okay, then Zhao Zhao and I will go there first. Senior brother, please be careful."
Shen Xuan responded calmly: "Well, please pay attention to your safety."
"Brother Miyou, don't let them fight!"
Ruan Xianbei was also infected by the waiter and told him, "There are so many experts here, they two are so pure."
...
Ruan Xianbei followed Shen Xuan into the door of a shop in many twists and turns. She looked up at the signboard, Wishing House, and the wind chimes at the door of the shop jingled as they pushed open the curtain.
Following Shen Xuan in, a strong smell of rose water hit his nostrils.
"Welcome to the Wishing House, may all your wishes come true."
A gentle voice like an oriole came, and a beautiful girl with a high nose, big eyes, and slim figure stood in front of them and smiled at them. With her movements, the bracelet on the girl's wrist also jingled.
The clothes here are generally much more open than those in the Central Plains. The white skin underneath can be vaguely seen through the suspenders worn by women.
Ruan Xianbei's eyes lit up, yo, a beauty from the Western Regions!
I couldn’t help but sigh, it’s great to come to the northwest! There are beauties everywhere! What a feast for the eyes!
The interior decoration of the Wishing House is like that of a divination house with a lattice shop, with a dazzling array of products. There is a table covered with black silk cloth. On the table is a brilliant crystal ball, which emits light. It glows faintly and looks mysterious.
Shen Xuan showed a card in his hand to the girl. The girl bowed very politely and said to them: "Two distinguished guests, please come with me."
what? Ruan Xianbei was confused and could only follow along. What secrets did Ruan Yan hide from her?
Several people entered the backyard and passed through a long corridor. The yard became lively when they heard the sound. The girl clapped her hands, and all the men and women in the yard looked over.
"The Holy Lady is here!" the girl said.
"finally come!"
"Listen to your words, sir, and get ready!"
"Why hasn't the saint dressed up yet?"
"Hurry, hurry, it won't look good when the sun goes down!"
"Hakagonguri, please take the saint to change clothes!"
Men and women immediately gathered around, their faces showing excitement, their eyes blazing, and they spoke much faster.
Ruan Xianbei took a step back, looked at Shen Xuan and asked, "Is this???"
Her posture indicates that I will run away immediately if you don't tell me clearly now.
Shen Xuan then told her with a smile: "Your brother said he wanted to build momentum for you so that you can make a glorious appearance."
Damn it.
Ruan Xianbei had a headache and complained with an expression of disbelief: "Why are you saying it now! I'm not prepared at all! I think I have social phobia!"
Shen Xuan thought of what Ruan Yan said to him and repeated: "Well... the leader said he wanted to give you a surprise."
Ruan Xianbei Shihua: I will really thank you.
In fact, there was another sentence that Ruan Yan didn't say after that. Ruan Yan said that Ruan Ruan's expression at that time would be particularly wonderful.
Sure enough.
Shen Xuan thought it was really a surprise, but looking at her nervous look, she couldn't bear to comfort her: "Don't worry, everything has been arranged, we are all our own."
Ruan Xianbei wanted to say something more, but the two girls pulled him over with enthusiastic smiles.
"Lord Saint, my name is Bajiao, she is Gu Li, we are your maids."
"Holy Lady, come and change your clothes first~" Gu Li urged, taking out the clothes she had already selected.
Okay, okay, let's make peace with it as it comes. Now that he knows the purpose of this time, Ruan Xianbei gives up the struggle and lets them do whatever they want.
That is to say, I was torn between pink and blue skirts and chose blue. This pink dress is too tender and it will be overwhelming!
"Does the saint know the arrangements for the meeting?" Bajiao asked.
"I don't know. It was my brother, the leader, who arranged this matter. He said he would give me a surprise." Ruan Xianbei replied expressionlessly.
Bajiao snickered, "No wonder they say that brothers and sisters have a deep love. The leader really loves and protects the saint."
Ruan Xianbei: Careful? ? ? Are you not very good at Chinese language? ? ?
So Bajiao and Gu Li gave Ruan Xianbei a brief introduction to their arrangements for the meeting, which meant that Ruan Yan had spent a lot of money to hire this group of people, and they would help Ruan Xianbei be the first to stand out and attract attention in this secret room incident -
etc--
The Chinese language is really not very good.
What is swagger?
But she figured it out. Anyway, she was taking this opportunity to establish the image of the Demon Sect, because many sects secretly had concerns about the matter with Lingxiao Villa.
Although they were dissatisfied with Mu Huaxiao's placement of chess pieces in his sect, they did not go to the point of breaking up. Some sects were still neutral and waiting to see, but in the hearts of others, their background was still too weak.
right way
If she can beat them once, she can beat them a second time. This time it depends on whether she can show the strength of the Demon Cult and attract those neutral factions in the world or those who have grudges against Lingxiao Villa.
Ruan Xianbei summed it up for himself: Isn’t it just pretending to be 13? She knows it very well!
He also secretly scolded Ruan Yan for pretending to be a ghost. He told her earlier that she should be prepared. She was so mysterious. Now that she didn't even prepare her speech, wouldn't the effect be greatly compromised?
Ruan Yan, who was being greeted from afar, sneezed. He looked at the scorching sun outside and quickly took a sip of tea. Ruan Ruan must have arrived.
The door was closed, and almost half an hour had passed. Ruan Xianbei looked at himself in the bronze mirror and nodded with satisfaction.
Look, it’s so hard to give up on your natural beauty! Look at that flawless face, those red lips, those charming eyebrows, what an exotic beauty! After reading it, she shook her head again. She had lost some weight due to the injury last time, but her eyes looked a little bigger, and her pupils were brighter with make-up. How could she still be grateful to those men in black for persecuting her? Ruan Xianbei is addicted to his own beauty and cannot extricate himself. God will open a window for you when he closes a door. This is the truth!
"Shen Xuan!" She jumped open the door and shouted, and the young man sitting in the yard looked over.
Shen Xuan looked at the girl wearing a blue dress. One end of the shawl made of gold and silver pink flowered gauze was fixed on the chest strap of the half arm, and then draped over the shoulders and twisted between the arms.
Bajiao gave her a flying bun, and put on rockers and flower accessories. She wore beautiful accessories on her wrists and ankles, which made her walk crisply. The chest-length skirt also had a string of pearls hanging around her neck. My chest is not as empty as that.
The girl called him out, her face was slightly red, she didn't know whether she was tired or hot, and there was a slight sweat on her temples.
Shen Xuan looked at her crimson almond-shaped face and her bright, star-like eyes. She looked like a pearl-like girl.
"Shen Xuan, do you think I look good?" The girl asked him crisply, holding up her skirt and standing in the sunshine.
With a smile in his eyes, he walked forward: "It's very beautiful." He turned sideways as if to help her adjust her collar, but said in her ear in a voice that only two people could hear: "It's so beautiful, I can't bear to part with it. You go out and show it to others."
Ruan Xianbei's face turned red.
Damn it, he flirted with me! What is this person talking about!
The old driver would never give up. This damn desire to win suddenly came up. Ruan Xianbei replied with a smile: "I'm afraid that won't work. I have to scare others. But -" Her tone lowered a little, and she whispered in Shen Xuan's ear. Said, "Oh my...it's even more beautiful when I'm the only one looking at it."
After she said this, Bajiao and Gu Li walked out. Shen Xuan glanced at her and backed away.
The two distanced themselves again, and this time Ruan Xianbei saw it clearly. She covered her mouth and snickered.
The blush on her face could be said to be blush, but what was it that made Shen Xuan blush to the tips of her ears? Could it be that you are shy?
Twenty taels of silver was a bit too small, but in modern times it was still around eight thousand to ten thousand yuan.
At present, an ordinary soldier in the Yu Dynasty can only earn one tael of silver per month at most, and a centurion can earn three taels of silver per month.
Maybe he will accept it.
In addition, Qin Hu is also planning to draw a big pie for Li Xiaokun. After all, Qin Hu used to have money.
Now it depends on whether he and Qin An can survive the night.
"Little Marquis, I may not be able to survive. I'm so hungry, my hands and feet are frozen with cold." Qin An said in a daze.
"Xiao Anzi, Xiao Anzi, hold on, hold on, you can't stay still, get up and run, that's the only way you can survive."
In fact, Qin Hu himself is in trouble. Although he was a special soldier in his previous life, this body is not what he used to be. All he has now is a perseverance.
"Wait!"
Qin Hu's eyes were like cold stars, and he suddenly shouted in a low voice. A reflection and a rustling sound that appeared just ten meters away from the camp aroused his alertness.
With the professional sense of smell of a special scout, he felt that it was the enemy.
.
But should we notify Li Xiaokun?
Qin Hu hesitated a little. What if he saw it wrong? You know, his current physical condition is completely different from before.
If a false alarm causes night terrors or camp roars, and someone gets a handle on it, they will be killed without mercy.
"Xiao Anzi, hand me the bow and arrow."
Qin Hu crawled under the carriage and whispered.
But Qin An's next words scared him so much that he almost jumped up.
"Bow and arrow, what are bow and arrow?"
What, there are no bows and arrows in this era?
Qin Hu looked around and found a wooden stick with a sharpened top placed under the wheel. It was two meters long. It was thick at the handle and became thinner as it went up.
The more I look at it, the more it looks like a weapon.
Wooden gun, this is the iconic building of the cannon fodder.
"Come closer, come closer..." After a few breaths, Qin Hu was sure that he was right.
The other party may be the enemy's scouts, called scouts in this era. They are trying to enter the camp and conduct reconnaissance.
Of course, if conditions permit, you can also poison, set fire to, or perform a beheading operation.
"one two three……"
He and Qin An lay motionless on the ground until then, he suddenly jumped up and threw the wooden spear as a javelin.
"puff!"
It was impossible for the scout to wear armor because he had difficulty moving, so the shot pierced his chest directly.
Following Qin Hu, he picked up the wooden gun belonging to Qin An, jumped out of the carriage, and chased in the opposite direction desperately.
For the reliability of intelligence, the scouts are required to monitor each other and are not allowed to act alone, so there are at least two.
After a few moments, Qin Hu threw another black shadow to the ground.
Then he strangled his neck with a wooden gun. There was a crisp sound and the man's head hung down.
"Hoo, hoo!" Qin Hu was sweating profusely and almost collapsed. He lay on the ground gasping for air. His body was really too weak.
Just to break the enemy's neck, before he could just use his hands, but just now he had to rely on the power of a wooden gun.
"Qin An, come here and help me search you."
Qin Hu is familiar with the rules of the battlefield. He must collect all the trophies from these two guys as quickly as possible.
"Two daggers, two horizontal knives, a level, seven or eight taels of broken silver, two grain bags, flags, kettles, two sets of cotton-padded clothes, two pot helmets, bacon..."
"Qin An, brother, hurry up, hurry up, eat something quickly, you are saved..."
Qin Hu tremblingly grabbed a handful of fried beans from the grain bag and stuffed it into Qin An's mouth, then filled him with water and put on the captured cotton-padded clothes.
.
Before daybreak, Qin Hu cut off the scout's head before the sentry on duty arrived, carried it into Shi Chang's camp, and reported what happened yesterday.
This was done to prevent others from taking credit, and he knew what kind of environment he was in now.
"Thirty taels of silver for one head, you are rich."
The chief's name was Gundam. He was a tall, muscular man with a beard.
At first, he didn't believe it until he saw the trophies captured by Qin Hu and the two corpses.
At this moment, his eyes were full of envy, jealousy and hatred.
"It's not me who gets rich, it's everyone who gets rich. This is the result of the ten of us."
