When the devil

-Jinchuan Chapter-

The continuous haze lasted for two or three days, and finally after the long night of cold and frost, it finally cleared up, and it was on this sunny day that the carriage to Jinchuan set off surrounded by the disciples of Shuiyue Pavilion.

Zi Wan'er claimed that she was proficient in driving a carriage, and deprived Murong Chenhao of the right to control the carriage. The clever and versatile young man who has always been known as a know-it-all never thought that he would be outmatched by others, and he was sitting in the carriage depressed, Boring to poke grapes with sticks.

Seeing this, Mochi first laughed at him, then politely sat down beside him, took the grapes in his hand, pulled out the sticks one by one, put them aside, and ate the grapes in a good mood.

"You are a boar who can't eat fine rice bran, and you toss about such a good fruit."

Murong Chenhao raised his eyebrows: "That stick is a hidden weapon I use to get poisoned and kill people."

Mochi stopped chewing grapes, his eyes widened.

"There is a kind of poison called Wubu San." Murong Chenhao picked up the stick and put it back into his wristband: "Just take five steps, and you will bleed to death from all seven orifices."

Mochi was bluffed, and accidentally swallowed the grapes: "You, don't bluff me! I'm not living a good life!"

Murong Chenhao said: "That's because you haven't walked five steps yet."

Mochi: "Five steps refers to the time to walk five steps! It's not really five steps."

Murong Chenhao said unhurriedly: "Hero Mo, please give it a try." After speaking, he put on a "please" gesture.

Mochi's face turned green.

Wei Ling happened to see this scene when he got in the car, and he didn't need to guess to know that the little stupid dog Mochi was tricked by the little fox Murong Chenhao.

Murong Chenhao resolutely abandoned Mochi, and looked at Wei Ling with interest: "Young Master Wei, why did you get into the carriage?"

Wei Ling was surprised: "Huh?"

As soon as he finished asking, he saw the carriage door being pushed open, Guo Jian put on a smile on his pale round face, and stammered, "Wei, Mr. Wei, please, please come with me. .”

Murong Chenhao gloated: "What's wrong with Mr. Guo?"

Guo Jianchao patted his chest: "It's a long story, it's a long story."

If time goes back to the morning, Guo Jianchao swears that he will never talk too much, and he is all blamed for talking nonsense: Obviously everyone has a very high level of cultivation, and they insist on joining in the fun and taking a carriage. It takes two or three days to walk, and even if you can control the sword, you will arrive in one day!These words happened to be heard by Xia Zhou, which made him feel an inexplicable rejection of the carriage.But from the bottom of his heart, he didn't regard going to Jinchuan as a serious business, but to travel in the mountains and rivers to enjoy the autumn, so he got an idea and forced Guo Jianchao to bring him two horses.

"These are the best horses in Liuli City." Xia Zhou held the black horse with his left hand and the white horse with his right hand. Seeing Wei Ling approaching, he handed the white horse over consciously: "A Ling, can you ride a horse?"

Wei Ling froze for a moment, then returned the white horse to him: "No."

Xia Zhou nodded thoughtfully, and then put on an inscrutable smile: "Very good, take a ride with me."

Wei Ling said: "Thank you, but there's no need." After finishing speaking, she was about to leave, but was pulled back by Xia Zhou.

"A Ling, since you are ashamed of me, you have to show some sincerity." He said while putting his hands on Wei Ling's waist, ready to get him on the horse.

"When will I be ashamed of you." Wei Ling took his hand away.

Xia Zhou didn't let go, and moved closer: "The wound you stabbed still hurts."

Wei Ling frowned: "What kind of horse should I ride if my wound hurts? Just lie down in the carriage."

Xia Zhou smiled: "I have a special body. It is useless to lie down and fall asleep. The so-called untie the bell requires the person who tied it. Only holding you can heal the injury."

Wei Ling: "..."

Guo Jianchao looked at the side for a long time, seeing that the whole person was messed up in the autumn wind, and after finally taking a breath, he apologized and said with a smile: "Mr. Wei, don't worry, this horse is very good. It doesn't matter if you ride it for the first time, let alone you Daxian, you won’t die if you fall, try it, this horse is quite expensive, and I, my salary for half a year!” He held up his sleeves and silently wiped his tears.

Guo Jianchao cried so pitifully that he burst into tears, as if Wei Ling didn't ride the horse because he had offended his conscience for the rest of his life.

Wei Ling deeply felt that the so-called evil monsters are evil by nature, and besides not killing people, Xia Zhou really did many other evil things.

This is the way the world is, and the "people" who have lost their conscience can always have the last laugh.

No, in the end Xia Zhou's wish was fulfilled, Wei Ling rode a white horse, Xia Zhou rode a black horse, and they set off together with the carriage.

Guo Jianchao is an honest man, this horse is really docile, Wei Ling was not used to it at first, but after riding for a while, he realized that the ride was really interesting.Xia Zhou dragged the horse to speed up and ran to the front, hooked his fingers at Wei Ling, and Wei Ling chased after him. The speed of the two became faster and faster, and they even galloped on the road. To meet other chivalrous men, greet and ask a few words, meet for a short time, but still have something to say.

Later, Mo Chi and Zi Wan'er also wanted to ride horses, so Wei Ling gave them her horse and rested in a small tea shop nearby.

"There is no wine in the tea shop here." The first thing Xia Zhou did before ordering food was to extinguish the thoughts in Wei Ling's mind.

Wei Ling hehe, I didn't know what to order.

"Although there is no wine, there are other good things." The shopkeeper smiled kindly: "Would you like to try the fermented glutinous glutinous rice balls in the shop, they are made of rice wine."

Wei Ling's dim eyes immediately lit up with fire: "Okay!"

After a while, the white and tender glutinous glutinous glutinous rice balls were brought up. Wei Ling took a bite, blinked, and continued to eat. Xia Zhou had no appetite at first, but seeing Wei Ling's delicious food, he was a little moved. Waiting for him to eat two more mouthfuls Reaching out to take the bowl: "Is there gold in this glutinous glutinous glutinous rice balls? It's so fun to eat."

Wei Ling saw how his bowl was lost in Xia Zhou's hands: "It's delicious."

Xia Zhou took a bite and returned it to him with a look of disdain: "Isn't it just ordinary glutinous glutinous rice balls?"

Wei Ling said: "I've drank rice wine, it's stronger than this one, I don't know if it can make glutinous rice balls, it tastes good."

"A Ling, is it your first time to eat?"

"Well, it's the first time, is it strange?" He said lightly, as if it was a normal thing.

"Haha." Xia Zhou's eyes were full of pity: "You have been in the world for so many years, and you are not as good as me."

Wei Ling said calmly: "Normally, I have been in Liuli Mountain since I was a child. I didn't have much money when I came to the world to practice. I lived on buns and steamed buns. Later, I went to the border and ate military rations with the army. In the palace, the emperor personally arranged meals. Didn't see Eat this snack."

Xia Zhou felt distressed when he heard that, so he immediately called Xiaoer and asked him to serve the food in the store one by one.

Wei Ling just wanted to tell him not to waste money, but when he thought about it, it seemed that it was not his money, and when he wanted to export it, he suddenly turned into a question: "What kind of status is your benefactor, allowing you to spend money like dirt? "

Xia Zhou thought for a while: "Have you ever heard of 'Li Yunyun' who cares about all sentient beings?"

Wei Ling said, "No."

Naturally, Xia Zhou didn't expect that a person who hadn't even eaten glutinous glutinous rice balls would know people from the Jianghu.

"He is a famous yueqin player. He not only loves to play, but also loves to sing. He writes all the libretto by himself, and he writes all kinds of anecdotes. I heard that he recently wrote a collection of songs called 'Being an Official, Not Serving the People' It's up to you to go home and sell purple sweet potatoes!"

Wei Ling thought, so he was a busker, how could a busker be so rich in this world?

Seeing that Wei Ling was not very interested, Xia Zhou was about to say a few more words, but Guo Jianchao suddenly appeared next to him, and sat down next to Wei Ling and Xia Zhou with an unprecedented murderous look: "Governor Xia, the person you just said But Li Yunyun?"

Xia Zhou immediately suppressed his smile, and changed his disgust: "So what?"

Guo Jianchao gritted his teeth: "Do you know that 'Being an official is not for the people, it's better to go home and sell purple potatoes', it was my father who sang it?!"

Although Xia Zhou didn't know Guo Jianchao's father, he had heard Li Yunyun play and sing that song in the inn, and the words and music came to his mind immediately, and he said, "Is your father so bad?"

Guo Jian was so angry that his face was flushed, but he didn't dare to lose his temper in Xia Zhou's face: "Li Yunyun is a bastard! He can talk nonsense and draw attention by smearing my father. He is really abominable! My father has already given up He was wanted for a lot of money, and he must be skinned! Hanging on the city wall of Jinchuan in the sun for three days and three nights, feeding the dogs!"

Wei Ling was not interested at first, but when he heard that he had a connection with the Guo family, he became interested instead. Last time, Shen Feihuan said that he had a personal grievance with the Guo family. The Jia Guo family reached out to the Snow Wolf Army, and pulled Cheng Yingjie to the back. All these seemed scattered and coincidental, but they were tied together by an invisible thread.

Could it be that someone was deliberately guiding him behind his back?

Thinking of this, Wei Ling put down the spoon in his hand: "The Guo family is so powerful, why can't they catch a Li Yunyun?"

When Guo Jianchao heard this, he seemed to be poked into a headache, he sat up straight and said, "Don't mention it, this Li Yunyun is so bold, Jinchuan is under my father's eyelids, he can still go to the big fireworks every night!" He played and sang, my father got angry, so he closed down those restaurants, he didn't repent, and ran to the street to sing again! Besides, I suspect that he was either transformed from a monster or a ghost, and his escape speed was extremely slow. People can do it, my father sent a heavy army to seal Jinchuan City and searched for him from house to house, but he was able to escape... What a goddamn evil."

Wei Ling was filled with admiration when he heard that, if he had this ability, he would not have been arrested and taken to the palace back then.Xia Zhou's smile was not a smile, he thought Guo Jianchao was praising him.

At this time, Xiao Er came to serve the food. Hearing their topic, he couldn't help interjecting: "Li Yunyun is a good-looking talent. He is not only romantic, suave and talented, but also has a heart to help the poor and help the poor. Sometimes playing and singing arouses the grief and indignation of the suffering people." Crying, he can reward a gold ingot for each of them!"

Guo Jianchao was so angry that he slapped the table: "For profit! If it weren't for my father! Everyone in Jinchuan would have to go and beg for food!"

Xiao Er was so intimidated by him that the teapot almost fell to the ground, and retreated in panic.

Guo Jianchao was domineering at last, but Xiaoer ran away, and he immediately softened when facing the remaining two people, and smiled flatteringly: "Both adults are rare masters! When I go back, I will definitely treat Daddy well." Praise you! At that time, my father will definitely treat you two well, let alone a gold ingot, even if you want a golden house! My father can also think of a way!"

I am ashamed to say that although Wei Ling has been entangled with the palace for many years, he knows very little about the affairs in the palace. Guo Jianchao talked about his father's affairs along the way, and Wei Ling only knew half of what he heard.

The state governor, named Guo Xianhou, volunteered to lead the army to fight in the border wars in the early years, and made many achievements. Later, he wrote a poem at the state banquet to praise the emperor and queen, which attracted the queen's love. Since then, his official career has been smooth sailing and his life has been comfortable .

But since he arrived in Jinchuan, the emperor was far away from the mountains, and unknowingly formed a school of his own. There were more and more papers to impeach him, but they were all suppressed by the emperor. Some people said that he had frequent contacts with the queen's cronies in private, and the power in the palace was solid. In addition, he frantically curry favor with the emperor as soon as he had the time, and gave many gifts to the Taili Academy during the festivals. He licked all the major forces in the imperial city, and it was inevitable that he would take advantage of them.

And the one that gave Guo Xianhou the most headache was this Li Yunyun. Not only did he write ditties every day to discredit Guo Jian, but he also played tricks on Guo Jian, forcing him to participate in a series of bad things that happened in Liuli City.

Guo Jianchao did not disclose the specific reason, but said that one day the Taili Academy received a letter praising Guo Jianchao for his great achievements in killing demons and demons. It was written by Li Yunyun and the people of Jinchuan together. The letter mentioned a series of strange events in Liuli City. , I hope Guo Jianchao can take it over in person to ensure the peace of mind of the people.

Guo Jianchao originally didn't want to tell Wei Ling and Xia Zhou a joke by telling the cause and effect, but when the topic came up to Li Yunyun, he couldn't help it anymore, and vomited out all his pent-up anger.

Hearing this, Wei Ling already understood.

This Li Yunyun, nine times out of ten, is the one who threaded the needle behind his back.

After a full four-day journey, the group finally arrived at Jinchuan City.

The city faces the river in the east and the river in the west. The rivers intertwine and merge into the largest trading city in the country of Zhao. It is said that half of the commercial routes in the country of Zhao will turn around here. Rich merchants and tycoons abound in the city. than princely.

As soon as Guo Jianchao arrived in Jinchuan, he spoke with such confidence as if he had changed his lungs. First, he said that he could choose any inn in the city, and just report his father's name. After talking about his father's name, Guo Jianchao swaggered away, his steps were so chic, his legs were a little higher than usual.

Zi Wan'er looked contemptuous: "Having said so much, don't we have to find a place to live on our own, and if we report his father's name, we can ask for anything. Do people in this world worry about having nothing to eat?"

But Mochi was full of enthusiasm: "Master, where are we staying tonight? Let's find a place where we can cook and eat delicious food!"

This is the first time for the little apprentice to come to Jinchuan, and it is also the first time to stay in an inn.

Wei Ling really wanted to answer him, but he always felt that Murong Chenhao should come out and tell everyone at this time: everything has been arranged.

But after waiting for a while, they didn't listen to him. Everyone looked over and saw Murong Chenhao's pale face, clutching his chest as if he wanted to vomit, and they didn't know what was wrong.

"The five-step distribution is done." Mochi didn't know when he learned to add insult to injury.

Murong Chenhao glared at him: "Remember it."

I don't know what kind of sparks came out of the friction between the little stupid dog and the little fox.

"The inn is...booked, come with me." Murong Chenhao cleared his throat, tried to catch his breath, and gave Mochi a vicious look as he passed by, looking quite angry.

"Sweet potato, leek and green onion porridge is really not for people to eat." Zi Wan'er looked at Murong Chenhao sympathetically.

Mochi said: "Hmph, whoever tells him to play guessing boxing will be tricked, and punishing him to eat porridge with sweet potatoes, leeks, and scallions is considered light. My master used to make pumpkin fish maw wasabi soup!"

Wei Ling: "When have I ever done something like this?"

Mochi tilted his head: "Didn't Master do it?! That's what Uncle Shi did, if Elder Meng didn't do it! Anyway, it ended up in my mouth, it's all the same!"

It was written on Wei Ling's face: Can this be the same?

Xia Zhou gave Wei Ling a meaningful look, and vaguely recalled that he had eaten Wei Ling's food in Cangming Temple, and he never had such a good chance after rebirth.

Still, life in Cangming Temple is comfortable.

he thought silently.

But if I really want to say that I miss it the most, it is the days when I slept carefree in Wei Ling's arms. Whenever he thinks about the past, he hates those people who came to Cangming Temple to kill Wei Ling. The more he thinks about it, the more he hates it, the more he thinks about it. The more I hate them, the more I wish I could catch them out of hell and tear them apart again.

Later, Xia Zhou figured it out, there is always a chance to live, and Wei Ling will be his sooner or later, not to mention being stalked, he can still sleep comfortably in his arms.

Thinking of this, he muttered to himself: "Pumpkin fish maw horseradish soup, I really want to try it."

Wei Ling looked at him as if he was looking at a psychopath.
