She sent people to keep an eye on Yu Qing last night, and they have been keeping an eye on Yu Qing until now. Xu Fei and Chong'er overheard some of Yu Qing's names, and also confirmed that there were only three Yu Qing nearby, eliminating the minimum risk. Only then did he officially show up.
As soon as he heard this and saw the formation, Yu Qing's heart skipped a beat, and he instantly understood something. Their nice words last night were just to paralyze him and make him lose guard.
He just doesn't understand. If it's going to be detrimental to him, why wait until today?
'Master Shi Heng' was obviously what Chong'er called him. Yu Qing knew that the other party had heard him and was a little embarrassed. He turned around and found that the other three people had appeared last night and obviously surrounded them. He immediately defended: "Misunderstanding, I'm overthinking this matter..."
The woman in the bamboo hat interrupted directly, "You and I are not relatives, we have no grievances, and I didn't provoke you. You suddenly ran out and lied to me as soon as we met. Do you think I would still believe the words of a person like you?" "He tilted his head to indicate.
The three men took action immediately. Xu Fei and Chong'er were unable to fight back and were captured instantly.
Yu Qing was shocked and quickly drew his sword, but before the sword was unsheathed, bang! Then he was knocked away by the ordinary-looking man. He hit a stone and his internal organs surged violently. He choked on blood and fell to the ground. Before he could get up, the man had already stepped on him. On his face, he stamped half of his face on the ground, and warned coldly from above, "If you dare to act rashly again, I will crush your brain."
As soon as they fought, Yu Qing understood that there was a huge difference in strength, and the opponent was a Xuan-level master.
He had been pinned to the ground by the opponent's kick and could not move.
Xu Fei and Chong'er were stunned and frightened.
The woman in a bamboo hat raised her chin towards them and said calmly: "Take them away and ask."
The woman carried the insect and left, while Xu Fei was carried away by the slightly fat man. The two were taken away for questioning.
Yu Qing was also pulled up, and there were already wounds on his face that were punctured by stones. This showed that the man who stepped on his face was using a lot of force.
When he could move his mouth, Yu Qing immediately explained again, "Misunderstanding, this is really a misunderstanding..."
Snapped! The man waved his hand and slapped Yu Qing, making him dizzy. "Did I ask you to speak?"
Yu Qing, whose ears were buzzing, had to shut up. He was pressed against a stone with the word "big" on it, and was searched.
The man tore off the bag that Yu Qing tied to his body and poured out a bunch of things, including twenty small bags of spiritual rice. Needless to say, the woman in the bamboo hat and the man knew each other at first sight, but the man still squeezed each bag of spiritual rice. Pinch to check.
What was poured out were several hundred taels of silver notes, a bunch of 'rainbow silk', some self-defense medicine, a metal shaft, and most importantly, a small bottle of magic dew.
The man picked up the bottle of some magic dew and opened it to confirm, then raised his brows.
Then he opened the metal cylinder and poured out the rolled calligraphy and painting. When he spread it out, he found that there was only half of it. He tilted his head and looked at the woman in the bamboo hat.
The woman in the bamboo hat came closer and took half of the calligraphy and painting for inspection. She didn't see anything special. It seemed to be an ordinary calligraphy and painting, but only half of it was preserved with a metal shaft. It was obviously unusual and there must be a mystery hidden there.
She immediately shook the calligraphy and painting and asked Yu Qing, "What's going on with this half of the calligraphy and painting?"
Yu Qing wiped the blood from his mouth and said, "It's not half a painting, it's a third of a painting. It's used to divide the family property. The ancestors of my family divided the children and grandchildren into three houses, and the heads of each house each held one. I passed the exam I wanted to be in charge of a house, so I kept one painting. This time I went to the capital and combined the three paintings into one, and then I divided the dividends from the family business as usual. This year, I estimate that there are hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. I am willing to donate I apologize to you all.”
What nonsense? The woman in the bamboo hat frowned, probably understanding.
The man fiddled with the things he poured out and gestured to the woman in the bamboo hat: "This bottle is Xuan Level Demonic Dew, this is the string on Mo Ying's bow, these medicines are all emergency medicine for traveling in the world, and these spiritual rice . Boss lady, how can a person who normally goes to Beijing to take the exam bring these things? Coupled with his cultivation level, and the fact that he lied to others when we met last night, this guy's words are most likely not to be trusted."
Boss lady? Yu Qing's heart turned.
The woman in the bamboo hat stared at Yu Qing, "Are you a candidate who went to Beijing to take the exam?"
Yu Qing smiled bitterly: "Last night I just stole Xie Yuanlang's name to save face. Other than that, everything is true."
The man said: "Then how do you explain these things?"
Yu Qing blinked. He wanted to continue to fool him, but the problem was that Xu Fei and Chong'er were taken away for interrogation. The truth might not be hidden. He sighed: "I'm not just a bookworm who only knows how to read. I also practice Buddhism. I can help in emergencies." I always carry some medicines with me. These spiritual rice and some magic dew were the rewards given by a spiritual planter and demon solver in Liezhou when Lu Jikai, the governor of Liezhou, saw us off for a guessing game. This is The bow string was taken off the bow of a dead archer when the team rushing to take the exam was attacked."
The woman in the bamboo hat and the man looked at each other, unable to determine whether what Yu Qing said was true or false, so they could only wait for the results of the interrogation of the other two people.
The woman in the bamboo hat still held that half of the painting in her hand and looked at it, as if she wanted to see if there was any hidden mystery.
After a while, Xu Fei and Chong'er, who were still in shock, were brought back. The woman smiled and said, "Miss, this guy's name is Ash Heng, and he is indeed a candidate." Then she pointed to Xu Fei, "He is also a candidate, and he has two A candidate."
The woman in the bamboo hat said, quite surprised, and stared at Chong'er.
The woman said: "This is a book boy."
The woman in the bamboo hat immediately stopped talking, walked away, raised her hand, loosened her fingers, and let the wind take away half of the calligraphy and painting.
The man who injured Yu Qing immediately picked up the banknotes on the ground and stuffed some Yaolu and Hongsi into his arms.
Yu Qing suddenly felt that something was wrong in the atmosphere. Unexpectedly, the temptation of offering hundreds of thousands of taels of silver was not enough. He made a prompt decision and said suddenly: "I should be able to help you with what you have to do on this trip."
He had already prepared the words for confrontation, but found that several people actually stopped verifying the origins of the things on his body with Xu Fei and Chong'er. It seemed that as long as they could confirm that they were candidates, they didn't seem to care about anything else. Especially when he saw the other party starting to collect his belongings, he suddenly realized the danger and that's why he said this.
As soon as these words came out, the four people in Miao Qingtang were stunned for a moment, and they all slowly turned back to look at him, including the woman in the bamboo hat.
Seeing that his words seemed to have an immediate effect, Yu Qing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he was right. These people were indeed troubled by something.
In fact, it is not a fool, there is a reason. Last night, he found that the woman in the bamboo hat seemed to be preoccupied. Moreover, the other party also said that she had important matters. At that time, he also thought about what the people from Youjiao Port could do if they came to the ancient tomb wasteland. What's the priority.
Xu Fei and Chong'er were still in fear and didn't notice anything else.
In short, the eyes of the four people in Miaoqingtang were fixed on Yu Qing. The woman in the bamboo hat turned around and faced Yu Qing and asked: "You help us? Do you know what we are going to do?"
Yu Qing: "I am proficient in divination. This time I went to Beijing, I had already calculated that I would be in trouble. I also calculated that I would get married to a woman after I was in danger. This woman would help me get out of danger. Now it seems, This woman is most likely you." He gave a positive tone to the woman in the hat.
Such ridiculous words suddenly appeared. Not to mention the four members of Miao Qingtang, even Xu Fei and Chong'er were completely dumbfounded and wanted to ask Yu Qing if he knew what he was talking about.
The woman in the bamboo hat couldn't help but snorted, "You are both a new imperial examination candidate and a practitioner, but you are also a magic stick. What else do you want to do?"
Yu Qing stared at her, "If I'm not wrong, what you have to do this time is very important to you, more important than the three of them!"
The woman in the bamboo hat immediately met his eyes, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes.
The slightly stunned woman suddenly shouted angrily: "Nonsense, it's not important. Why are you here? Miss, this guy is dishonest. Don't let him fool you."
Because of her words, Yu Qing immediately said to the woman in the bamboo hat, "Your husband is in trouble!" He also prepared a sentence to change his words in case of misjudgment.
As soon as these words came out, the four people in Miao Qingtang were completely shocked.
Yes, the husband of the woman in the bamboo hat is indeed in trouble.
The woman in the bamboo hat is named Tie Miaoqing, and she is the proprietress of Miaoqing Tang in Youjiaobu.
The voluptuous-looking woman named Sun Ping is the shopkeeper of Miao Qing Tang. The man who looks a bit like a couple to her and is also a bit fat is her husband, named Zhu Shangbiao. Another plain-looking man, the one who injured Yu Qing, was named Cheng Shanping, and he and Zhu Shangbiao were both associates of Miao Qingtang.
The boss of Miaoqingtang, Tie Miaoqing's husband, named Yan Xu, has been poisoned by a strange poison and is in danger. Miaoqingtang couldn't find a way to rescue them. Unexpectedly, at this time, Youya, who was in charge of Youjiao Port, suddenly issued a mission, giving Tie Miaoqing hope that as long as he completed the mission first, he would be rewarded. You Ya can ask You Ya to save her husband if you ask for the reward.
So she rushed to the Ancient Tomb Wasteland with her men.
Miao Qingtang didn't have many people. Except for the two people left to take care of the poisoned Yan Xu, she brought all the others, including the three people in front of her.
It suddenly became quiet. Xu Fei and Chong'er immediately saw something from the four people's reactions. They couldn't help but look at each other, feeling that 'Ashi Heng' suddenly became a bit mysterious.
Clang! Tie Miaoqing suddenly drew his sword, and the blade suddenly lay across Yu Qing's neck. He glanced at Xu Fei and said coldly: "You two don't look alike. You are not a candidate. Who sent you?"
She instinctively suspected that Yu Qing was sent by a shop in Youjiaobu, so she knew everything about Miao Qingtang. Otherwise, how could a stranger who was a scholar in Beijing rushing to take the exam know that her husband was in trouble? If so, is that okay? How can a mere ancient tomb wasteland trap such a person!
Looking at the reaction, Yu Qing knew that he had guessed correctly. Even with the sword on his neck, he didn't panic at all, "Tell me what you want to do on this trip. If I can't help you, it's not too late to kill me. Nothing is lost by speaking out.”
Cheng Shanping shouted: "Shut up! You can't even leave the ancient tomb safely by yourself, and you dare to talk so brazenly about helping us. Madam boss, this person must be deceitful with his clever words. We should kill him immediately to avoid being deceived by him!"
