Huang Liu's brain is knotted.
name? He didn't mention the names of any Confucian scholars or scribes!
Along the way, Huang Liu vaguely heard that the old man was called Qi Xing by his fellow travelers. He had never even heard of this name, and it was even more impossible for him to mention it.
"You're courting death? There's a fight, and you're still blocking my way if you don't run?" Huang Liu scolded, no one would have the patience to be stopped while he was running for his life.
Huang Liu dragged his injured leg to support the pillar with his right hand and wanted to stand up, but a hidden weapon that had been knocked out rubbed his hair and pinned it to the wall. Huang Liu was so frightened that he could not wait to shrink behind the pillar.
"Go away." With a ferocious look on his face, he roared fiercely at the ink carp.
This kind of deliberate evil shape and evil appearance, ordinary people may really be fooled.
However, there is no ordinary person in this inn tonight, except for the grandparents who hide in the house and dare not come out.
When Huang Liu crawled over, Mo Li subconsciously rolled up the defense map and put it into his sleeve. It's okay to "take the stolen goods". Just now, Huang Liu pointed out that Meng Qi was the mastermind behind the false accusation and snatched it away. The person who deployed the defense map was Meng Guoshi. It would be really embarrassing if he held something in his hand.
But... Meng Guoshi's person
Mo Li reacted with hindsight, and his face suddenly became uncomfortable.
This is strange, Mo Li thought.
Even if someone said this in person half a year ago, Mo Li would not be embarrassed at all. Because it is human nature to be happy with each other, there is nothing to see or not to see, let alone such ambiguous sentences that just hit, even if it is a real joke, it is nothing more than telling the truth. What's so embarrassing about being told the truth
At this moment, Mo Li faintly realized one thing. He first fell in love with it, but after getting along for a while, the feeling is completely different. This change is unfamiliar and makes him feel a subtle emotion.
Mo Li pondered, and it seemed that he still failed to understand the "nature of human beings" and did not understand the reasoning behind it.
Because he is not a human being, Mo Li needs to learn things that everyone can understand by birth. Meng Qi has no such troubles. He has "lived" more than Mo carp in the world for decades, and he has seen many people and things.
Mo Li pinched the defense map in his sleeve and pondered.
From Huang Liu's point of view, the two old men stood still, making up their minds not to let them pass.
His eyes widened in anger, and he pulled out the short knife that was originally hidden behind the knees for self-defense, and was about to swing it.
At this moment, a familiar voice came from behind Huang Liu.
"Nu's shop is really busy tonight."
Mrs. Tao was born with a pair of wonderful eyes, looking forward to the spirit, and casually glanced left and right with a smile on her face, as if her eyes were affectionate.
This appearance really caused many people to mistakenly think that Mrs. Tao looked at him differently, and Huang Liu was one of them. Of course, he didn't think so now. Mrs. Tao's peach pollen noodles were now in Huang Liu's eyes as a beauty spider and a red snake.
Lady Tao stood on the left, and the masked leader stood on the right.
It's not that they solved the conflict, but that there was an unknown master in the dark. They beat each other to the death and it was ridiculous that they were killed together in the end.
Mrs. Tao hated this group of masked people deeply, but she had the intention to beat the masked people to death first, but the hidden weapons were limited and could not be thrown endlessly. "Meng Guoshi"
Huang Liu's brain is not good, others are not.
"The small shop is poor and white, so I don't have much to ask for. On weekdays, the people who come and go are pawns and traders. I never imagined that we would welcome distinguished guests today." Mrs. Tao smiled like a flower, but her hands behind her back were quietly gesturing to the clerk.
Seeing that there was finally someone willing to play with him, Meng Qi immediately gave up the idiot Huang Liu.
He stroked his long beard and said proudly: "The lady of the shop has heard the name of the old man. It seems that the origin of the lady of the shop is not simple!"
"The national teacher is joking. How can the slave family have any knowledge? It's just listening to the guests from south to north. The name of the national master was completely unknown before today." Madam Tao rolled her eyes and said slyly, "It's just that The slave family believes that a person with extraordinary momentum like Zun Jia will definitely not open his mouth, and what you say is much more reliable than what Huang Liu said."
"Oh?"
Meng Qi smiled, but watched Madam Tao dig a hole for Huang Liu step by step.
Sure enough, the innkeeper's wife seemed to hesitate, and softly asked as if in surprise: "Huang Liu claimed that the national teacher instigated him to bring things across the river privately. Why don't you know the national teacher now?"
Everyone looked at Huang Liu in unison.
Huang Liu froze in place, sweating like rain.
"...Also, he also said that the national teacher is a very young person." Tao Niangzi pretended to be puzzled, tilted her head and asked, "The slave family just wanted to ask, it seems that King Jing, King Ning, and King Wu did not stand up. Guo Shi, if you are talking about Chu Yuandi, Chu Lingdi, how could the Guo Shi be a young man?"
The leader of the scout battalion stared at Meng Qi stubbornly, but his heart was like a stormy sea, churning endlessly.
Could it be that the fake Li Gui was so arrogant that he brought out the real Li Kui, who had lived in seclusion for many years
Meng Qi cooperated with a long sigh, nodded deeply and said: "At last there is someone who understands! I want to see the rise and fall of three dynasties for half my life, and now I am so old that I cannot even walk. , why would anyone dare to fake my name without even drawing a single wrinkle?"
Everyone: "… "
"The world has changed. Anything about stealing chickens and trolling dogs will be pushed to the old man with empty teeth." Meng Qi looked distressed, as if he was addicted to acting.
Mo Li didn't know whether to cooperate with Meng Qi in acting, or pretend to be deaf and dumb.
Let's play, I don't know how to continue.
- The main face is not so thick and can't hold back.
When Mo Li was in a dilemma, Meng Qi continued the play smoothly.
Everyone only felt that a flower was blooming in front of them, and the old man who was dressed in plain clothes with extraordinary bearing had an extra piece of white cloth in his hands.
The ink carp, who was drawn out by Meng Qi from his sleeve, said: "..."
really touch.
Although the movement was so fast that the average person couldn't see it clearly, but while the fingers were hooking out of the cloth, the thumb was gently rubbing against the ink carp's wrist.
The ink carp was almost laughed at, it doesn't matter if they take advantage, but what are they like now? Eighty years old! ! Does it feel rough to the touch
Meng Qi was at ease, rough and rough, and his hand was not much better when he stretched out his hand.
It's just skin appearance, their dragon veins don't matter.
"Cough, maybe even the heavens can't see it, but today I've bumped into the old man's hand!" Meng Qi held a white cloth and gestured to spread it out.
"and many more!"
The leader of the scout battalion hurriedly called out.
On a normal day, Qi Chao's navy's defense map was seen by unrelated people, so he just silenced them. But the innkeeper's wife and clerk are not all fuel-efficient lamps, and if you add a Meng Qi who has an unclear attitude, it's not easy to kill people.
"Meng Guoshi, this thing belongs to my lord, a gentleman should not see any injustice..."
"The old man has already seen it, isn't it the defense map of Qi Chao's navy?"
The leader of the scout battalion widened his eyes and thought in shock: "Speaking it out, Meng Qi actually said it so bluntly!" what happened? Aren’t people in the officialdom speaking in seven twists and turns, saying one sentence has three meanings? What kind of routine is it to directly expose
Also shocked was Mrs. Tao.
She thought that Huang Liu was a useless person, at most stealing an account book, taking a treasure map of the rivers and lakes or something, but did not expect to have the courage to start with the naval defense map, do you want to cross the river and sell it to the Jingzhou army? But in this way, there is a reason to be involved in the former state teacher, Qi Chu has the hatred of subjugation!
Tao Niangzi was about to give Huang Liu a new look, when she turned her head, she saw that Huang Liu's face was pale, shaking like a sieve.
… Forget it, he’s still a jerk.
Leaving Huang Liu aside, Mrs. Tao still has someone she really wants to ridicule.
"Aiya, so, so all the heroes are people from the Qi Dynasty military camp?" Tao Niangzi deliberately emphasized the word "hero" and sarcastically said, "No wonder you want to fight and kill, it's too much to dare to be affectionate. If you leave Jiang, no one else will be able to find it, so you have nothing to fear!"
Rao was the leader of the scout battalion who wanted to chop off Madam Tao's head. The situation in front of her being exposed was really dangerous.
"Since the national teacher knows what is painted on the cloth, the person behind the scenes pretends to be the national teacher, causing people to steal and deploy the defense plan. It is very likely that they want to provoke a battle between the two armies and cause the people to suffer." The leader of the scout battalion hangs He tried his best to target Huang Liu, "This person must be someone with ulterior motives, maybe it's the little thief from King Wu and King Ning."
Huang Liu was completely frightened, and shouted: "No, I sold the picture to the Jianghu people here. They want to cross the river but don't want to pay for the boat. They just want to row over by themselves. They paid one hundred taels of silver to buy it. I just drew the picture of the camp... The above is just the distribution of the camp, and there is nothing next to it!"
"Joke, Jianghu people can buy a picture with a hundred taels of silver, but they won't pay half a thousand dollars for the boat?" the leader of the scout battalion shouted angrily.
Huang Liuyi sat down on his buttocks, burst into tears, and cried in embarrassment: "They said that they wanted to sell goods, but also wanted to control this waterway for a long time and do business with people in the rivers and lakes. Timing Guoshi was also their idea, He said that if he was found, he would be killed by Meng Qi, and the little one has never heard of this name, let alone Meng Guoshi."
Meng Qi tutted softly, what kind of conspiracy did he think he was, and the charges were directly slapped on his forehead, but it turned out to be like a joke
"Nonsense, we have already caught the person who is in contact with you. We tortured him and only revealed a little bit, and even committed suicide while one of my subordinates was not paying attention." The leader of the scout battalion asked word by word, "You and I said this is just a trick done by the Jianghu people?"
With a look of despair on Huang Liu's face, he wailed: "I'm just collecting money to do things, those people are high and mighty, and they also like to be with heroes... No, no, just like you, the official, how can I know that their origins?"
Mo Li finally said the first sentence, and he asked in surprise: "You don't know anything, how dare you trade with them?"
"Small, small..."
Huang Liu was speechless, and Mrs. Tao sneered: "I just stare at the silver, as long as the silver is real, what does it matter to whom the thing is sold? Save yourself the need to continue running around in the wind and rain."
The leader of the scout battalion did not believe a word.
Meng Qi said in a leisurely manner: "Since you have caught the person who connected, you can't receive anything there. You will definitely come to look for it in a few days. Don't you even stand by and wait for the rabbit?"
The scout battalion leader's eyes lit up, while Tao's expression changed.
This group of bastards, does she have to continue to endure for three or five days
"but-"
Meng Qi caressed his long beard lightly, no matter how he looked at it, he looked like an old man who was very intelligent and used to seeing wind and waves.
"You broke into the inn, tried to set fire to it, and tossed my old bones to get up in the middle of the night and work hard, without an explanation."
During the conversation, Mo Li moved and only heard a few shouts. Several masked people who tried to sneak away by sticking to the wall were thrown back to the inn, and then Mo Li slowly walked through the door under the moonlight. .
This hand really shocked everyone. It turned out that the man next to Meng Guoshi was also a master...
In addition to being surprised, the leader of the scout battalion suddenly wondered.
It is said that Meng Qi abandoned his official position and went into seclusion. Now Mo Li also looks like a hermit. Why are the hermits not writing poems or writing poems these days, raising their worth and waiting for the powerful to come and invite them to go out to become an official
