The guard sergeant kicked the beggar away, and the man rolled aside, only to find that the scorching sun above his head was blocked by someone. When he looked up, he saw a young man about his age.
The most important thing is that he is holding a snow-white thing in his hand, which looks very tempting.
"For...for me?"
The man swallowed.
Qin Yun smiled: "Eat it!"
The man looked around, stuffed the things in his arms, and kowtowed hard to Qin Yun.
"My name is Zhou Xuanwu. I left my name to my benefactor, and I will repay you in the future!"
Looking at the child who was at most fifteen or sixteen years old in front of him, although his knees were shaking with hunger, there was a stubborn light shining in his eyes.
"Is there anyone else in your family?"
Zhou Xuanwu took a step back warily: "What do you want to do?"
Qin Yun smiled: "We are refugees from outside. We don't have any ill intentions. We just wanted to ask a question when we first came to Guangdu City."
Zhou Xuanwu: "If you have anything, just ask, I will tell you everything I know!"
Qin Yun: "This is not the place to talk, how about I borrow a step?"
Zhou Xuanwu shook his head crazily: "No, right here!"
It could be seen that he was very alert, as if he had experienced something.
"Okay, then I'll ask directly. I heard that no one in the Xinliansheng Cult can receive meals, and there is even broth to drink. Why don't you go and pay homage?"
Upon hearing the word "Liansheng", Zhou Xuanwu's eyes flashed with anger.
"They are just a bunch of beasts! When you enter this city, you can eat grain cakes, but remember, you cannot eat meat or drink broth."
"I've finished answering your questions and take my leave!"
Zhou Xuanwu got up and left quickly.
Qin Yun frowned, thinking about the meaning of Zhou Xuanwu's words.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a fast horse rode from the side. Qin Yun hurriedly lowered his body because the person riding on the horse was Qian Xiaojia, and beside him was Zhu Wushuang.
"Why are they here?"
The two came to the city gate, showed their tokens, and entered the city easily.
Tiefutu on the side said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I see that you have murderous intentions towards these two people. Can you ask me to kill them?"
Qin Yun smiled: "Can you still tell whether a person has murderous intentions towards others?"
Tiefutu smiled honestly: "It's just an innate feeling. In the world of martial arts, being called the Dragon Crossing the River is not just about practicing kung fu."
Qin Yun said with a smile: "Then we will see if we, the dragon crossing the river, can suppress the local snake! Let's go into the city."
Tiefutu followed Qin Yun, and the two of them mingled with the refugee team and after being exploited, they successfully entered the city.
Unlike outside the city where people were dying of hunger, there was still a trace of human smoke and fire inside the city. What made Qin Yun very strange was that there were especially many butcher shops on this street.
Among them, beef and horse meat are the most common, and mutton is very rare. The sound of knives grinding bones can be heard everywhere.
"Your Majesty, where should we go first?"
Qin Yun: "Don't call me Prince, call me Mr. Yun. No, you and I are dressed like this and called Lao Yun!"
Crossing the River Dragon was not polite and patted Qin Yun's shoulder with his big hand: "Oh, Lao Yun!"
Qin Yun took a breath, and this slap almost removed his arm.
"Master Yun, you..."
"No problem, let's go to the nearby restaurant first." Qin Yun shook his shoulders.
Not long after, the two changed their clothes and came to a restaurant called "Feng Laike". It seemed that the flow of people was not small.
"Two gentlemen, do you want to go to the top or stay in a hotel?"
Qin Yun smiled: "Both of them!"
"Two gentlemen, where did this chaos come from?" The waiter did not welcome Qin Yun in immediately, but instead asked where he came from.
Qin Yun had already prepared his words: "We came out to travel in the south of the Yangtze River, but unexpectedly encountered a military disaster, and now we end up like this. Why is your store afraid that I will lose your money?"
The waiter in the shop hurriedly apologized and said: "Looking at your noble appearance, of course you won't short-change my meal. Please come in. Are you going to eat beef, mutton, or horse meat?"
Qin Yun suddenly remembered Zhou Xuanwu's words.
"I love vegetarian food the most in my life. I wonder if there are steamed buns with pickles?"
The waiter smiled and said nothing: "Of course, it is, but it is 30% more expensive than meat."
Qin Yun frowned, it was strange that steamed buns were more expensive than meat.
"No problem! Not short of money!"
Not long after, Qin Yun and Tiefu Tu sat down.
Tiefutu sniffed and immediately said, "Master Yun, I'm afraid a lot of people died here."
Qin Yun: "What do you think is going on?"
Tiefutu: "If it were in Jianghu, I would not dare to enter this store. It must be a black shop. But this is the first time I have heard of this black shop opening in a busy city."
Qin Yun: "Then just be careful!"
While the two of them were waiting for the food to be served, they were naturally not idle. They both pricked up their ears to listen to the news around them. This is why Qin Yun chose to come here to eat.
"Hey, did you hear? That Prince Gong is getting married. I heard that all the dignitaries from around Luochuan will come this time."
"Really? However, I hear you guys keep calling him Prince Gong. I wonder what you mean by Prince Gong?"
"You don't know this. This person was originally Ma Yi. Later, when he saw destiny, he found out that he was the Queen of Liang designated by the old emperor of the previous dynasty. So, the original Liu Jiangong was renamed Qin Gong."
"Originally, it was called Gong Wang, but later some Confucian scholars said that Gong Lao's Gong was not good and that he was overjoyed at the merit, so he took the name Gong from the word Gong, which is gentle, respectful, and humble."
"I see, well, no matter what his name is, it has nothing to do with us people. Now that we have had one meal after another, it's already good to have a bite of horse meat."
"I still like beef. Horse meat is too spicy and the beef is tender. Especially the fresh cow beef, it has a smooth bite and is simply fascinating."
"Then you've never eaten mutton, that stuff is so tender!"
…
Suddenly a diner yelled: "Waiter, why are there human nails in your broth!"
The waiter was serving food and soup to Qin and Yun at this time. Tiefutu was about to drink the soup, but was stopped by the others. He suddenly had a very bad feeling.
The waiter didn't panic, but put down the steamed buns and stepped forward with a smile.
"Sir, it's our fault for disturbing your mood. But it doesn't matter. I'll give you a new bowl right away."
"I won't eat it. This is just a black shop. This is horse meat and mutton... This is obviously..."
The man immediately vomited.
However, the diners around him looked at the man with a sneer.
"Don't even think about it. After three years of drought, how could there be so much mutton and horse meat! This person looks like a newcomer at first glance."
"Ignore him, let's keep eating!"
Tiefutu also reacted. Although he was a killer, he felt that the three levels were shattered at this moment.
"brute!"
Qin Yun couldn't help but think of a sentence: "Looking through history, there is no change of dynasty, it is nothing more than people cannibalizing people!"
However, just when Qin Yun was feeling pregnant, a man with red eyes and a rusty sword suddenly rushed out of the palace. This man was none other than Zhou Xuanwu.
"You guys, give me back my sister!"
"Little brat, get out of here, where is your sister here?"
Someone patted their belly: "Come on, little brat, let's see if I have any here!"
"Someone, drag this guy without eyes to the kitchen!"
