Qiushui Town.
"Uncle Master, look, I was teleported near here by Uncle Master."
Qin Keyuan took a look and said, "Is there anyone you know in this town? If you want, you can go and have a look."
Zhao Ning thought of Tai Ke's hometown. At that time, her heart was filled with emotions, and countless negative emotions were mixed in. But now when she thinks of the past, there is no fluctuation at all.
She shook her head at Qin Keyuan.
Zhao Ning put away the map of Dayue Kingdom and suddenly remembered something, "I haven't read the four fragments of Kyushu that my uncle gave me at the auction. Maybe I can see unknown places in them. Maybe the Penglai Immortal." A complete map of the island is also included.”
Her eyes were bright and she was looking forward to it.
"When we get to Yuexiu Mansion, let's open it and give it a try."
"Um!"
Zhao Ning responded and was about to say something else when she heard the noisy sound from the kitchen.
"Go, go, little bastard, you dare to steal my spring water."
"What's the matter with your spring water? It obviously flows from the mountains! What's wrong with just washing it!"
"A bunch of little bastards, when they catch a pheasant, they really think they are immortals slaying demons, go, go, go!"
After a few quarrels, the voices of the young boys cursed and cursed.
After a while, the waiter came out with herbal tea. While pouring the tea, he apologized, "I'm sorry, the two guests were delayed a little by some little brats. Use the herbal tea to relieve the heat, please use it slowly."
On one side of the shop, three young boys came out muttering. The three of them were all dressed a little strangely. They were covered with a layer of loose clothes. On the back of the clothes, they drew a huge Tai Chi diagram with ink. They were also holding crude wooden sword.
They kept glancing into the shop, glaring at the shop owner unconvinced.
The boss was about to drive away when he saw a group of officers and soldiers coming not far away. His face suddenly fell, and he cursed "bad luck" in his mouth, and then he bravely went up to meet them.
"Master Tian, there are a few other officials, please sit here."
The leader, Mr. Tian, had a beard and looked a bit sinister. The others were also full of fierceness, as if these people were not officers and soldiers but gangsters.
He walked straight to the center of the shop and sat down directly on the bench. With his other foot still on the bench, he raised his hand.
"Where's your shop fee?"
The shop owner was reluctant, "I just handed it in a few days ago..."
"Huh?" The bearded man breathed, and several officers and soldiers glared at the shop owner. The shop owner was so excited that he resignedly took out a small bag of broken silver and handed it over reluctantly.
Luo Hu tossed the money and was a little dissatisfied, but he didn't ask for it anymore and threw it directly to his subordinates.
Zhao Ning glanced in their direction. He had seen this kind of thing when he was a child wandering around. The only way for ordinary people to survive was to swallow their anger.
"Bring out all the meat and fine wine in your shop." Bearded Beard ordered again.
But the shop owner still stood stiffly on the spot, and his bearded man became angry, "Why are you so stunned here? Are you looking for a beating?!"
As the man spoke, he grabbed the shop owner by the back of his neck. The shop owner said fearfully, "Guys, there is not much meat in the shop. It's not... not very fresh anymore."
If this group of people were ordinary guests, he might have served them directly, but if these people were not good enough, if they tasted a bit of strange smell, it would not only be a matter of scolding or beating, but also a life-threatening loss.
"Then go and get it. I'll give you a cup of tea. If I can't get anything fresh, I won't even want this shop."
The bearded man scolded angrily.
"Okay." The shop owner responded fearfully. After getting rid of his men's restraints, he quickly ran to the kitchen.
Zhao Ning and Qin Keyuan did not move. In the face of injustice, they waited for a while before quietly pulling out the firewood.
At this time, several officers and soldiers gathered together to complain.
"What does the court mean? All the strong men have been captured here. Is there no one on the other side of the border? There has been a drought here for so long. If the drought continues, there will be famine. I see many villages are empty, and even the roads are empty. There are not many young people among the refugees.”
"Who knows, but if it really doesn't work, go further south. There won't be any famine there."
"There is no famine, but I heard there is a plague. Otherwise, why do you think these refugees would go to the capital instead of going south?"
Boom, boom, boom, the leader of the bearded men suddenly knocked on the table. Everyone stopped talking and waited for the boss to speak with flattering expressions. However, the boss didn't say anything, but his eyes were looking straight in a certain direction. .
What a coincidence, that direction turned out to be where Zhao Ning and Qin Keyuan were.
Several subordinates glanced back and forth and whispered, "Boss, looking at the clothes of these two people, I am afraid they are either rich or noble people in the capital."
The bearded man murmured, "Look at that little girl, although her appearance is ordinary, her figure is beautiful..."
A group of people suddenly realized the meaning of beards, and they all said "Oh" with meaningful expressions.
One of them even said, "Boss, we will get it for you right now."
As soon as he stood up, a slightly timid officer reminded him, "You are either rich or noble, brother."
"What are you afraid of? They are outside the city. Who knows if they are."
He approached with a smile and several officers and soldiers. Zhao Ning raised her head and naturally listened to their words.
When he raised his head, he happened to meet the man in the middle. The man's body was shaken instantly. He saw the clear and clean water, like the water of a fairyland in the middle of the night, as if he saw a fairy.
But it was obviously very ordinary, but he didn't expect that a drop of dirty water happened to fall into his wide eyes at this moment, and he shook his head in discomfort.
"what happened."
The brother next to him suppressed his laughter and pointed to the top of his head. It turned out to be water dripping from the pavilion.
"Damn it, where's the water coming from in this sun?" He spat twice, but he couldn't tear down the roof because the boss was still waiting nearby.
So, he walked to the opposite side of Qin Keyuan in a few steps and stepped on the bench.
He didn't attack Zhao Ning first, but went directly to Qin Keyuan. In their opinion, Zhao Ning didn't need to worry about it at all, she just needed to deal with the men around her.
"Where are you from! Now the court is recruiting people to go to the border, and you actually dare to escape!" He declared grandly, and then glanced around him, "Catch him and take him back to deal with it."
This seemed to give them a reason to start trouble openly, and several officers and soldiers responded directly.
Before Zhao Ning and Qin Keyuan could punish these guys, the bearded man who was sitting and watching suddenly let out an ouch.
"Damn it, who's going to hit me!"
The officers and soldiers making trouble here didn't care about Zhao Ning and Qin Keyuan, and quickly asked what happened to the beard.
But he saw the bearded man covering his head, and streams of blood flowed from his fingers.
The officers and soldiers were shocked and rushed back, "Boss, who is it!"
Everyone took out their sabers at the same time, and before the figures could see them, several stones hit them.
The rocks hit them off guard. When they finally found the source of the rocks, they saw several young men in strange clothes. One shot them with a slingshot, another grabbed a handful of rocks and threw them here, and the other pretended to be in a spell-casting pose. .
"You bastards!"
The bearded man stamped his feet angrily, and the officers and soldiers' expressions instantly became fierce.
The young boys, however, were new-born calves and were not afraid of tigers. They even yelled, "Smelly bandit soldiers, let you snatch our pheasants!"
Apparently the pheasants they got from the mountains were snatched away by the shop owner and used as meat for these officers and soldiers.
But they were not stupid either. After saying that, they slipped into the bushes.
As if they had been slapped in the face, the officers and soldiers immediately grabbed their sabers and rushed over. As a result, they fell to the ground inexplicably as soon as they left the shop, and all of them fell to the ground without exception.
The beard rested on them at the end, but nothing happened. He got up and cursed, kicked them several times, and took the lead to chase them into the forest. As soon as they entered the forest, they heard a click, accompanied by his scream. .
"Ah - who the hell is putting bear traps on the edge of the forest!"
Amidst his screams, the officers and soldiers climbed up regardless of it and ran towards the painful bearded man. However, they did not expect that as soon as they approached the forest, their ankles were tied up by ropes hidden somewhere. As soon as the ropes were tightened, they would Everyone was hanging under the branches.
The waiter who ran out after hearing the sound looked at this scene in shock, and squatted back in the kitchen with his head shrinking.
In such a chaotic environment, Zhao Ning and Qin Keyuan still sat there and drank tea slowly, as if all this had not entered their eyes.
The little boy who ran into the woods probably heard the screams and ran back out of curiosity.
When he saw the embarrassed appearance of these officers and soldiers, he burst into laughter without hiding it at all.
They picked up rocks on the ground and threw them at the officers and soldiers. While doing so, they cursed, "Smelly officers, you are such bandits!"
Until a few half-grown men were tired of smashing, they ran into the shop and snatched the pheasants they had obtained from the back kitchen.
The young boys walked out of the kitchen proudly and were about to leave when they were stopped by Zhao Ning.
They looked at Zhao Ning, and their tone was still so harsh, "What are you doing?"
Zhao Ning asked, "What do you guys look like?"
The teenagers pretended to be Taoist priests casting spells in front of Zhao Ning, but they only had form and no temperament, which looked a bit funny.
But the eyes of several young boys were full of stars, and they excitedly said to Zhao Ning, "This is imitating the National Master, he is an immortal! We will also be immortals like the National Master in the future!"
Zhao Ning said softly "Hmm".
Several teenagers thought that Zhao Ning didn't believe it and was laughing at them, so they immediately said, "We are not lying. You must be from other counties. Our national master has good spells and many spiritual talismans. Those spiritual talismans only need one You can explode into flames by swinging it, it's very powerful."
Zhao Ning did not expect that in less than half a month, a national master would suddenly appear in Dayue Kingdom, but according to several young people, he should only be a cultivator in the Qi refining period.
When the teenagers saw that Zhao Ning didn't answer, they stopped their gestures and asked impatiently, "Why did you stop us?"
Zhao Ning said, "You helped us, of course we have to stop you and say thank you. Shouldn't this be basic courtesy?"
The young boy waved his hand and said, "I don't need you to thank me. We are heroes and we want to be heroes and immortals who can save all sentient beings."
Zhao Ning was amused by their tone.
Seeing her smile, the young boy added, "If you really want to thank us, just give me a talisman like the National Master. I have never seen it before!"
He narrowed his eyes and united the two of them, "But I don't think you have any."
But as soon as he finished speaking, a yellow talisman flashed before his eyes.
Several teenagers were instantly surprised. They opened their eyes wide and focused on the sudden yellow talisman.
"This is the imperial talisman!" A young boy shouted loudly.
Another young boy said, "Yes, yes, we have seen it in the picture album, but the yellow paper still has a lot of messy lines on it."
These simple and unpretentious descriptions are helpless.
The young boy in the lead looked straight in the eye, "Can this thing really emit fire?!"
Zhao Ning shook the magic talisman in his hand, and a light of fire flashed in front of their eyes, "How about this as your thank you gift?!"
