"A man who is hundreds of years old is still so cruel."
Ye Qing's figure flickered.
The water-like innate true energy constantly washes away and wears away the remaining sword energy and sword intention in the wound.
"The Art of Supreme Goodness Like Water" is worthy of its reputation as a magical skill. The true energy he developed can erase the sword's intention, which actually saved him a lot of suffering.
boom!
The sword energy dissipated and the sword intent collapsed.
Then the true energy dissipated, and the injuries on his shoulders disappeared.
"If you fail, I will kill my only disciple and let's see who inherits your mantle."
Run all the way out of the mountains.
Ye Qing came to the nearest county town.
I saw a huge crowd at the city gate.
The team entering the city was no less than a hundred meters away.
"My clothes are rags and linen, and my material conditions are so poor. I wonder if there are any stunning beauties in the county in front of me."
While thinking about it, Ye Qing consciously stood at the end of the line.
The procession was slow.
People in the first half of the queue were close to the soldiers guarding the gate and did not dare to speak.
People in the second half have no scruples.
All kinds of gossip and interesting stories came from the mouths of those in line.
Several of the topics discussed by the scholars attracted Ye Qing's attention.
"Hey! Did you hear that?"
"What did you hear?"
"Master Qin Hao was sentenced to three thousand miles of exile for corruption and bribery. His family will live in Yunhai County permanently."
"I've heard people talk about this, don't spread it randomly."
A scholar retorted.
"Master Qin Hao is an honest official, so he will be slandered by others."
"I didn't lie about the crime that the emperor convicted me of."
The scholar who started the topic added another sentence.
"I heard that unruly people are rampant in Yunhai County, and even drinking water is a problem. Is it true or false?"
"It should be true. It is said that several county magistrates died there before, and the court didn't care about it."
"It must be too remote and poor to find officials to investigate."
In the second half of the sentence, he deliberately lowered his voice.
But he couldn't avoid Ye Qing's pricked ears.
"Do you think someone wants to kill Mr. Qin Hao?"
"Hush! You must know that trouble comes from your mouth, so be careful what you say!"
The scholar who spoke changed the topic.
Instead of talking about Qin Hao, he talked about his family.
"It is said that Master Qin Hao's daughter is so beautiful and beautiful that many young masters are fascinated by her and invite many matchmakers to come to propose marriage."
"I guess she must be a stunning beauty."
"She is indeed a stunning beauty. I was lucky enough to catch a glimpse of her beauty when I went to the imperial city to take exams a few years ago and went to the temple to pray for blessings."
A scholar wearing a brocade robe sighed repeatedly.
His eyes were full of admiration.
"No matter how little Xiaojiabiyu or even the courtesans from the county pale in front of her."
"Brothers, Lord Qin Hao's daughter is so beautiful."
Ye Qing became more and more curious.
He walked out of the team and approached several scholars.
"Why don't those young masters who admire her perform heroic actions to save the beauty and win her heart in one fell swoop?"
The faces of the scholars darkened and they looked at the person who interrupted.
I saw that the other party had a dignified appearance, fair skin, and extraordinary temperament.
Although the clothes on the left shoulder are torn, the material of the clothes is good, and the words are used appropriately.
He should have read books and not be a pariah.
With equal status, several people's expressions softened slightly.
"Brother, you don't know. Those young masters are all heartless and unrighteous people. They are all waiting for Miss Qin to fall into the dust."
"No way!"
Ye Qing was a little dumbfounded.
I didn’t expect the young master in this world to be so sensible.
If he were the young master in the TV series and movies of his previous life, he would definitely beg his grandfather, sue his grandma, and do something heroic to save the beauty.
"Why not?"
The scholars were very satisfied with Ye Qing's reaction and explained the reasons with a smile.
Also put Miss Qin into the room.
To be married as a head wife is to share weal and woe with the Qin family. It requires a lot of trouble and money to rely on connections and beg for mercy, and it will also make some enemies.
But taking her as a concubine only costs money.
"Thank you brothers for your advice."
Ye Qing's view of those young men changed.
Compared to TV dramas, these real-life young men are smarter and know how to play.
"If my family were rich and powerful, I would choose to take Miss Qin as my concubine and keep her in my house instead of marrying her as my main wife."
oh!
It turned out that he was still a fellow-minded person.
Frank, not hypocritical, and approachable, the attitude of several scholars became a little better.
"It's a pity, it's a pity that Mr. Qin has been demoted, and Miss Qin has no family to rely on, and she is afraid that she will become the plaything of those young masters."
plaything?
Ye Qing was puzzled.
The concubine can be regarded as a lover on the surface after all, right?
No matter how inferior her position is to the wife, she still wouldn't be called a plaything, right?
Is there another reason for this? It seems we still have to ask.
"Brothers, what do you mean by this?"
Huh?
Could it be that the person in front of me hasn't married a concubine yet and doesn't know the inside story?
Several scholars looked at each other and gave explanations.
"Brother, when you marry a virtuous wife, you should pay attention to the right person. When you marry a concubine, you only care about beauty."
"I understand this truth, but if a concubine is favored, her status should not be inferior to that of the head wife. She won't be reduced to a plaything, right?"
Qingqing is really a young brother who has a strict upbringing and has just come out to study abroad.
The scholar in brocade robe smiled and said:
"Brother, the rights of a principal wife never come from her husband's family, but from her natal family, and the same goes for concubines."
"If a concubine does not have the support of her family, the more beautiful she is, the more likely she will be targeted by the main wife, and the faster she will die."
"This kind of concubine is not a plaything, what is it?"
A plaything indeed.
Ye Qing was speechless.
The reality is too cruel. The main wife relies on her family's power to directly kill the concubine. How can the concubine turn around and play?
If you want to rely on your children to protect yourself, you have to give birth to the children alive!
"Brother, if your family is powerful enough, even if a woman is willing to be someone else's concubine, it is a matter of family honor, and her parents and elders will not agree."
"Without Lord Qin Hao's protection, Miss Qin cannot be a legitimate wife. No matter which big shot gets her, her end is destined."
"It's a pity that ordinary women can still marry ordinary people as wives, but Miss Qin doesn't have this opportunity."
While several people were taking a breather, Ye Qing looked at the scholar in brocade robes.
"May I ask, brother, what happened to Miss Qin?"
"Yes! Yes! Yes! We want to know too."
Several other scholars also became interested and asked questions one after another.
"Then Miss Qin finally took advantage of the young men in the Imperial City, or did she?"
"Don't worry, Miss Qin's temperament seems to be soft and firm, which disappoints those young masters."
"In the end, she and her mother disfigured themselves, gave up hope of staying in the imperial city, and went to Yunhai County with Mr. Qin Hao."
"good!"
Ye Qing couldn't help but praise him, and the depression just now was gone.
"The Supreme Good Like Water Jue" is the best at detoxifying and healing wounds. Others are afraid of disfigurement, but he is not afraid!
This kind of thing of taking advantage of the situation...the hero saving the beauty, who else would do it if he didn't do it.
No one can compete with him.
"Brother, you..."
Several scholars looked surprised.
It's too late to feel distressed when a beautiful woman's face is disfigured.
Why is the person in front of me so excited?
Could it be said that this person has special hobbies?
"Guys, don't get me wrong. I applaud Miss Qin's actions. She..."
It's okay if Ye Qing doesn't explain.
Once explained, several scholars became more and more convinced of their guesses.
"Brother, there is no need to be nervous. It is normal for scholars like us to have special hobbies."
"..."
no!
The more I explained, the deeper the misunderstanding became and the topic had to be changed.
At this moment, a pretty girl walked out of the city leading a horse.
"Brothers, look at this."
Ye Qing pointed at the girl holding the horse.
"I wonder who is more beautiful compared to this beauty or Miss Qin?"
"Looks okay."
The scholar in brocade robes glanced at the pretty girl and made a comment.
"But the appearance is very different. She is not qualified to compare with Miss Qin."
It's a bit exaggerated!
Ye Qing was a little unconvinced. The pretty girl just now was not a great beauty, but she was still Xiaojiabiyu.
No, you have to confirm.
Thinking of this, he pretended to be shocked.
"real or fake?"
"believe it or not!"
The scholar in brocade robe was too lazy to explain.
This attitude, this tone, seems to be true.
Ye Qing had the answer in his heart.
That Miss Qin is definitely a beauty.
While the few people were talking, they arrived in front of the city gate unknowingly.
The status of scholars was higher than that of common people and businessmen.
The soldiers guarding the city only looked at a few people briefly and let them into the city gate without asking them to pay.
"well!"
As they walked, the scholar in brocade robe suddenly sighed.
"Brother, why are you sighing?"
"Yunhai County has been suffering from drought and little rain since ancient times. It is a famously poor place. Several county magistrates died in accidents in succession."
"I guess Master Qin's family is probably in danger."
"Who knows, there are many people in the city, let's not talk about this."
Several scholars looked at Ye Qing.
"Brother, we are going back to the academy. Do you want to come with us?"
"I have other things to do, so I won't go back to the academy with my brothers."
Saying that, Ye Qing bowed his hands.
"Everyone, let's say goodbye."
"Farewell today, see you again if we have the chance."
Several scholars returned the favor.
Before leaving, Ye Qing asked casually.
"By the way, brothers, when were Master Qin Hao's family exiled?"
"When I think about it, it seems to have happened the year before last."
"..."
Ye Qing's hot heart became cold.
What happened the year before last, two years passed in between.
Can Mr. Qin and his family survive the targeting of political enemies?
Hope they survive!
This is someone's true words.
"Forget it, let's take a stroll around the city first to see if there is a suitable candidate for a maid."
