After dressing as a villain, I am addicted to farming

Those dark eyeballs just glanced at Liu Xiong, he just felt a chill on the back of his neck, which made him shrink his neck unconsciously, hating himself for forgetting what happened in front of him before he set off. things.

At this time, the sky had already turned white, and it was not too far to leave the city gate. Qu Zhong only reached out to touch Rouyuanzi and Lingmo Dog at his feet, and took the lead to take a few steps forward.

Although the place where they landed was in the suburbs, there was still a hill away from the gate of the city. When the two of them wandered to the gate of the second city, there was already a long line of people queuing to enter the city. Liu Xiong frowned. Standing behind Qu Zhong without saying a word, seeing that he still had a relaxed expression on his face, he finally couldn't help lowering his voice and whispered: "Master, I feel something is wrong."

"Oh? What's wrong." Qu Zhong turned his head and glanced at the serious Liu Xiong, and asked casually.

He seemed to be asking unintentionally, but in fact, he also knew in his heart that Liu Xiong had discovered the clue. Among the crowd in line, there were a large group of burly men scattered in twos and threes, although they all wore gray and brown shorts and looked ordinary. Farmers, looking at their straight shoulders and half-closed eyelids, Qu Zhong can tell at a glance that these people are not ordinary people, but soldiers from the army. Liu Xiong, who has been fighting in the army all year round It must have been noticed earlier than him.

Sure enough, Liu Xiong pointed at the group of burly men, and whispered in Qu Zhong's ear, "These people should be from the army. Judging by their legs, I'm afraid they have a lot of background."

Following Liu Xiong's fingers, Qu Zhong immediately discovered the strange place he mentioned. These people's loose taupe trouser legs are all bulging. Those equipped with daggers are all hidden guards in the army. They are mainly responsible for some assassination missions on the eve of the army's battle. They are relatively mysterious existences in the army.

Stretching his neck and searching around, Qu Zhong rubbed his chin with his hand and said with a smile, "It seems that Old General Zhai has something urgent to deal with."

These men stood with their heads down. Obviously, there was no one they wanted to protect in the crowd, so they had to be ordered to go out of the city to carry out the mission, and seeing that they came from within the pass, the target of the mission was naturally not other countries. Being able to use the army's hidden guards to carry out private tasks, Zhai Zhengyang's control over Zhai's army is much deeper than Qu Zhong thought.

"This old thief is so bold..." Liu Xiong clenched his fist and waved it twice angrily. He was about to yell a few more words to vent his anger, but suddenly there was commotion in front of him. It opened slowly, and two groups of soldiers in blue armor walked out of the city gate. Qu Zhong even saw several people's armor hanging loosely on their chests.

"All line up for me, and get ready to enter the city..." A soldier in the lead yelled at the crowd while stretching out his hand to tie his belt.

This lazy look made Qu Zhong raise his eyebrows. He didn't know whether his judgment on Zhai Zhengyang was right or wrong. He was not strict about this man for his own use.

"You brought something into the city, ten cents."

"What? No, I'm going to a fart city without you, get out of here, get out of here..."

"Why did you go to the city..."

As the line moved slowly, the rampant appearance of these guarding soldiers finally made the men in the line complain. Qu Zhong saw the two men in front of him exchange looks, and one of them moved his mouth and muttered softly. "You bastards, see if I won't tell the young master." Before he finished speaking, the man in front suddenly turned his head and gave him a look, and the man immediately shut up and obediently stood up straight.

Qu Zhong, whose hearing is different from that of ordinary people, of course heard his muttering clearly. The three words "eld and young master" came to his ears accurately, and he silently pulled the corners of his lips. Turning his head back to look at Liu Xiong who was about to jump violently, he stopped his violent temper, and the two silently followed the team to move forward.

Rou Tuanzi held onto Qu Zhong's knee and remained motionless. If he hadn't observed carefully, he would have thought it was a lump of pink fur until he finally arrived at the city gate. It was clear it was a bear, and a live bear at that.

"Cuckoo-"

The meaty dumpling called Fur raised its head dissatisfiedly, and waved its chubby paws forward, scaring the city guard who was yawning just a few steps back: "This is actually a living creature..."

His scream quickly attracted the attention of others, and Qu Zhong was surrounded by a group of soldiers after a while. Rather than being afraid of them, he seemed to be more curious about this soft pink bear. They saw the brown bear. I've seen a lot, but this is the first time I've seen this pink bear, not to mention it's such a small one, it should have been born not long ago, it makes people very happy to look at it.

The frightened officers and soldiers also came back to their senses at this moment. Compared with the curiosity of the others, his slender eyes turned to Qu Zhong with other thoughts: "Is this bear yours?"

"It's just raised by me." Qu Zhong smiled and cupped his hands, completely ignoring the greedy eyes of the man in front of him. At this moment, Liu Xiong behind him took a step forward, bent over Qu Zhong and asked respectfully: "Master, why don't I hold the meat dumpling for you?"

"It's okay, it won't run around." Qu Zhong waved his hand, and by the way, he took out a piece of broken silver from his cuff and handed it to the person in front of him: "Officer, this is the fee for entering the city, and the rest will be paid by a few officials." Grandpa is drinking."

The slender-eyed city guard was shocked by the sound of young master, but subconsciously took the silver and gave way to the entrance.

The old man with half a hundred flowers on his head was wearing silk and satin clothes, and the jade pendant hanging around his waist was priceless at first glance, but this kind of person called the young man in front of him, young master. He couldn't help but caressed his twitching chest, raised his head and carefully glanced at the two people passing by, and sure enough, he saw Liu Xiong's sideways gaze. It trembled slightly.

These two people are indeed not ordinary rich young masters. He just wanted to throw out the silver in his palms so hot. He didn't turn his head until the two and the beast had gone far away, then he turned his head and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. A few words.

Qu Zhong, who had entered the city, had long forgotten what happened just now, stretched out his hand to hold the meat dumpling in his arms, and went shopping happily, leaving only Liu Xiong complaining angrily behind him, Among them, the words that appear the most are the words Zhai Zhengyang bastard.

Xijing City is much more prosperous than the description in the brochure. The streets are full of businessmen, and many of them are people from other countries. The shops on both sides are also different, not all from Zhufeng Kingdom. The traditional building looks like this, but it is such a busy place in the western region. The annual tax paid to the court is pitifully small. Last year, the prefect of the western region even cried to Qu Zhonghao with a memorial, hoping that he would be exempted from last year's tax. .

"It seems that the officials in the western region are much richer than the people."

The meat dumpling in his arms enjoyed Qu Zhong's touch very much, and even let out a burst of "cuckoo" sounds comfortably. This cute look made the passing crowd look sideways, and many children shouted and wanted to touch it twice. There were also quite a few merchants selling strange things on the street. He even saw two monkeys jumping up and down in a cage on the side of the street, so although the others were curious, they did not cause a big commotion. Captive pets are also eccentric, nothing new.

So this journey was fairly smooth, until Liu Xiong finally finished scolding Zhai Zhengyang, the two of them turned into an unknown alley under his leadership.

"Where is this going?" Qu Zhong asked curiously.

Just a few turns, and the bustling just now formed two extremes, this alley is empty, the moss on the corner of the bluestone slab is thick, one can tell that there are few people walking around on weekdays, but Liu Xiong is familiar with the road Leading Qu Zhongdong to the west, he didn't look unfamiliar at all. Hearing Qu Zhong's voice, he smiled, turned his head and patted his chest: "The old minister has made some preparations, let's go to a former brother in the same robe first." .”

"Zhai's army?"

"Exactly, this person's name is Zhang Wei, he is a third-rank captain, and he is now a big official. He must know about the Zhai family's army."

Qu Zhong nodded, reached out to pat Rou Tuanzi's head and asked, "Are you so sure that he is still your good brother?"

Liu Xiong paused enthusiastically, and beat his head hard. For the past ten years, the two of them had communicated only to chat about family matters and never mentioned military affairs. He only thought that Zhang Wei was keeping political affairs secret, but It never occurred to him that this person was not his brother who died in the past, now that he heard Qu Zhong say this, he immediately sensed something was wrong.

"It's because the old minister didn't think carefully, but he didn't think of this place..."

"However... let's take this opportunity to see what the current army looks like." Qu Zhong continued, waving his hands.

"The emperor means..."

"You have to take a break and come out to catch up with old friends, and I am the eldest son of your old friend, and I was brought out by you to see the world, Uncle Liu, do you think so?" Qu Zhong laughed.

Liu Xiong immediately understood Qu Zhong's meaning, stretched out his hand and stroked the short beard on his chin, nodded with a big smile, and replied, "Nephew Xian is right."

After the two discussed the specific details, Liu Xiong put on a simple and straightforward smile, and swaggered and knocked on the door of a blue house at the end of the alley. Before anyone came to open the door, he yelled loudly "Zhang Wei, hurry up and open the door for me—"

The thick and loud voice pierced through the door, making the footsteps inside become more hurried. After a while, the door was opened vigorously with a bang, and a burly man stepped across the threshold in two steps and ran towards Liu Xiong's figure. After passing by, while walking, his left hand had long been clenched into a fist and swung towards his right shoulder.

"Liu Xiong, how many years have passed, and you only came to see Lao Tzu now."

A loud voice not much smaller than Liu Xiong rang out, and faster than the greeting was his fist, which hit Liu Xiong's shoulder accurately with a bang. Qu Zhong couldn't help the corners of Qu Zhong's lips with this fist that didn't hold any strength at all. Twitched twice, could this be the way of greetings between warriors... It really hurts the body!

Liu Xiong suffered this punch, not only did not dodge, but smiled and stretched out his right hand to punch, the two just laughed and chatted with each other, watching Qu Zhongfu beside him Mei stepped aside a few steps.

It's safer for him to stay away.
