The sick beauty has caught the bamboo horse

According to Zhou Qingyan's instructions, the car stopped not far from the city gate. Zhou Qingyan looked at the long line in front of him and was puzzled: "Why did this happen?"

"There is another strange thing." Chu Heng looked at the gate of the city and said, "Cui Ying didn't come to greet him."

Most people who are officials in the imperial court have the same nature as businessmen - profit-seeking.

The immediate boss cannot be offended, and the celebrities around the emperor cannot be offended even more. Those who manage the money, manage the population, fields, and salt ships are the great ancestors who have to confess when they meet.

Zhou Qingyan belongs to one of the "great ancestors".

Zhou Qingyan's eyes flashed when he heard this.

This city-state on Jiangnan East Road has not yet entered, and it is full of weirdness everywhere.

"Hey, that car in front!" A man's voice suddenly came from behind the carriage.

Ah Qiang immediately turned the horse's head, saw the person coming, and then removed all the poisonous needles in her hand.

It was a short and fat man, wearing brocade clothes and hats, the fat on his face was so crowded that he couldn't even see the size of his eyes. When he trotted over from not far away, he could see the flesh on his belly and the bruises on his face every step he took. The meat shakes wildly.

It looked inexplicably pleasing.

The man ran over and bowed to Ah Qiang and A Lian at the first glance: "Brutty beauty, may I ask if your master is in the car?"

A Qiang's delicate eyebrows frowned slightly, and before she could speak, Zhou Qingyan's voice came from the carriage: "A Qiang, step back."

The girl lowered her eyes and turned the horse's head, but said nothing.

The man was obviously not interested in the maid, so he turned around and walked to the carriage.

Chu Heng lifted the curtain, and the man's bright smiling face like a flower was reflected in his eyes—the flower was probably spoiled by bugs.

The two Lianqiang girls not far away couldn't bear to look directly at this scene.

Chu Heng didn't even stop the movement of his hand, he just asked in a low voice, "Why is this young master obstructing you?"

There was a low chuckle in the car, Chu Heng turned his head and gave Zhou Qingyan a hard look, who raised his eyebrows flamboyantly and made a lip shape.

Before setting off, Zhou Qingyan specifically asked Jin Ge and the ten guards to hide in the dark and not come out unless necessary.

"Golden Ge and Ten Guards are too conspicuous. If there are only Alian and Aqiang around, there will definitely be a little wit to send information." Zhou Qingyan said at the time.

No, here comes the little wit.

When Chu Heng saw this man with a happy smile on his face, he kept repeating Zhou Qingyan's "little clever" in his mind, almost slipping his mouth.

Fortunately, the man didn't care, and continued to smile and say: "How many of you are from other places?"

Chu Heng said: "Yes, my wife and I came from other places and wanted to go to Jiangnan East Road to find relatives."

Zhou Qingyan gave a silent "tsk", and the wife was still looking for relatives, and she didn't write a draft when she was lying.

Man: "My surname is Pan, and my name is Feisong. My home is on Jiangnan East Road. I just came up to remind you when I saw that you have few people and expensive carriages."

"This East Jiangnan Road is not peaceful recently." Pan Feisong said here with a look of deep concern.

Chu Heng was puzzled: "Why? It is said that the sudden flood disaster half a year ago has passed, so why is it not peaceful now?"

"Oh, you don't know something, brother." Pan Feisong sighed.

At this time, Zhou Qingyan suddenly said in the car: "It is fate to meet Mr. Pan. Why don't you get in the car and tell me about the reason for this Jiangnan East Road."

When Pan Feisong heard this, he immediately felt that the lady in the car was really warm-hearted, and she was exhausted after running all the way here without talking and still talking with her head up.

If he hadn't been worried about other people's family members being in the car before, he would have gotten into the car with a stern face.

Pan Feisong was itchy, but he pretended to be struggling: "Well, madam is not doing well in the car."

While talking, he got into the car at the fastest speed.That fat body obviously did not play a hindering role, but Chu Heng was a little surprised.

Sure enough, the master is among the people.

When Pan Feisong got into the car and looked up, he suddenly saw a young man sitting in a wheelchair in the left corner of the car, and his mouth opened wide: "You..."

goo~~

Before he could finish speaking, his stomach rang.

Zhou Qingyan rang the bell to ask Ah Qiang to bring some snacks: "What do you want to say, Mr. Pan?"

Pan Feisong hadn't eaten for two full days, and lived on drinking cold water—fortunately, he wouldn't freeze to death in the spring.

Now this person saw the sweet and soft dim sum, swallowed all the words he was going to say just now, and said: "It's nothing. The two of you are really a match made in heaven."

It doesn't matter if there are two men or two women, it doesn't matter whoever feeds Pan Feisong to kneel down and call him father and mother.

Zhou Qingyan looked at him calmly, seeing that there should be some money in the house for the clothes, but looking at the food, he looked like a starved ghost reincarnated.

Presumably, the family is not a scholarly family, it is probably a merchant, more likely a merchant who relies on renting land to collect rent.

Pan Feisong licked the crumbs from the corner of his mouth: "Thank you for your hospitality."

Chu Heng first put a cushion behind Zhou Qingyan's back and replaced it with an incense case, and then said: "I see that your son is so grand, why is he outside the city?"

Pan Feisong sighed repeatedly after hearing the words: "My family insisted on forcing me to marry a wife. I really didn't like it so I ran away. I wanted to hide outside for a few days before going back, but my father actually kicked me out of the house."

"It's a pity that my young master is full of talents and has nowhere to display them, and he has ended up in such a field." Pan Feisong sighed while stuffing another piece of snack into his mouth.

Zhou Qingyan watched and silently handed him a pot of hot tea.

Pan Feisong drank the tea to relieve his tiredness, and couldn't help but look up at the young man who handed him the tea, and couldn't help admiring in his heart: He really has a good appearance.

The skin is as cold as paper, the hair is as black as silk, the eyebrows and eyes are as deep as ink, and the eyes look gentle and refreshing, but in fact they are sharp and piercing. But such a cold beauty has pink and soft lips, and the man next to her is out of her corner of the eye. When she was on her body, she always drew a slight arc upward from time to time.

It was such a shallow smile that softened the temperament of the young man.

Pan Feisong glanced at the two of them, and the thumping feeling of seeing the two men together suddenly disappeared.

Chu Heng: "Of course I know Princess Showa, but what does this have to do with her?"

Of course it does matter, it doesn't matter, Zhou Qingyan and Chu Heng won't come from the capital with great fanfare.

Pan Feisong: "A month ago, I don't know who spread the news, saying that Princess Zhaohe had fallen victim to a witchcraft, and she was looking for death and life in the palace every day. It didn't take long, and suddenly a woman who hadn't left the court hanged herself in the palace for no reason. On the beam."

"It's said that the bleeding from the seven orifices is terrible when you die." Pan Feisong shook his body, "This kind of thing happened several times in the city. Everyone said that the Gu master who put Gu on Princess Zhaohe was hiding in Jiangnan East Road, and he didn't come out of the pavilion. daughter."

"The matter is getting worse and worse. The prefect posted a notice that whoever can find out the secret will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold. Well, most of the people who enter the city want to get the bounty, and most of the people who leave the city are those with daughters at home." Pan Feisong said The city gate in the distance pouted.

Zhou Qingyan shuddered.

Chu Heng immediately raised the blanket for him: "Is it still cold?"

cold?Pan Feisong's eyes widened, your wife is scared by my description, okay?

Zhou Qingyan nodded: "The sun is not out today."

This man was born handsome but his legs were disabled. Even though he was married as a wife, he was still neither humble nor overbearing, relying on his husband for everything.

Pan Feisong didn't know what he was thinking of, but his face showed helplessness and sadness, and his small eyes desperately gave Chu Heng winks, hoping to make him understand Zhou Qingyan's intentions.

Chu Heng was so stared at that he couldn't figure it out. When he glanced at Zhou Qingyan, the latter also looked puzzled.

After a while, Zhou Qingyan said calmly, "Mr. Pan, do you want some more snacks?"

Pan Feisong let out his breath: "Your Madam."

After eating the second plate of snacks and drinking the second cup of tea, Pan Feisong stopped: "Too many people have entered the city for rewards these days. If you don't give some benefits to the soldiers at the city gate, he won't let you in."

"But it's okay, my brother-in-law is working here. When it gets darker, I'll find him to open the door. It can save a lot of money." Pan Feisong waved his big hand very generously, "Those guards are greedy, we can't let them stand It's cheaper."

Zhou Qingyan really wanted to ask, "Why are you talking about your brother-in-law after you ran away from marriage?" Before he could speak, he was forced back by Chu Heng.

The man was polite: "Thank you Mr. Pan for your kindness. We have our own way to enter the city, so we don't need to embarrass your brother-in-law."

The carriage gradually reached the gate of the city, and as expected, it was stopped by a group of guarding soldiers.

Puzzled, Pan Feisong quietly opened a corner of the curtain.

One of the beautiful maids just now rode forward and took off a dark brown token from his waist.The faces of the defenders suddenly changed drastically.

It didn't take long before the city gate opened under the surprised eyes of everyone, and the prefect of Jiangnan East Road came to greet him in person, and the welcoming team behind him stood for a whole street.

The eunuch dismounted from a distance and walked on foot. Ah Qiang didn't dismount when he came to the gate of the city, but stared at him condescendingly: "Master Cui, my young master is in the car."

Cui Ying shivered imperceptibly, who doesn't know that the national teacher has always been an arrogant and domineering master.

Pan Feisong also heard this sentence, and suddenly put down the curtain, opened his mouth wide enough to put down an egg, and stammered: "You, you are the national teacher? The national teacher in Wuying Pavilion!"

Said these words to Chu Heng, Chu Heng just smiled and said nothing.

At this time, Cui Ying ran to the side of the carriage in three steps and two steps: "Your Majesty, I didn't know that the National Teacher was coming, so I missed the distance and looked forward to asking the National Teacher to forgive me."

The carriage was silent.

After a long time, the always white and slender hand slowly opened the curtain, revealing a cold and stern face: "Master Cui, you are very arrogant."

Cui Ying was sweating profusely.

But his fright was probably not as great as Pan Feisong's.This little wit watched the man and wife who was attached to his husband in his eyes spit out a cold sentence, so that no living person in the whole scene dared to breathe heavily.

Except for Chu Heng beside him.

It is said that the Wuying Pavilion comes and goes without a trace, and the national teacher is even more powerful with poisonous masters and martial arts, brutally killing and killing people invisible.

He, he not only got into the carriage of the national teacher, but also ate the snacks and drank the tea of ​​the national teacher just now.Pan Feisong burst into tears.

Who knows if there is any poison in that snack, he will not die here, right?

Pan Feisong was obviously a playboy who was spoiled by his family, and what was on his mind was clearly expressed on his face.

Seeing his appearance, Zhou Qingyan found it more and more interesting, raised one eyebrow after thinking about it, and deliberately slowed down his voice: "Mr. Pan, do you want some snacks?"
