Suddenly, the few guests who were talking were soaked in the rain, with strands of hair stuck to their faces, their clothes soaked and clinging to their bodies, looking extremely embarrassed, and the food and wine in front of them were naturally soaked.
It was a shameful waste. Meng Qi had to take into account the rules in Changhua Temple and maintain the image of an eminent monk in front of Duan Xiangfei and others. He had not eaten meat seriously for two months, and only occasionally sneaked out at night to catch These beasts grilled themselves and made tooth sacrifices. Due to the incomplete seasoning and poor craftsmanship, the taste was really unsatisfactory.
After coming back, he and Gu Changqing traveled to Hanhai, relying on dry food to satisfy their hunger, and they didn't know the taste of meat. Therefore, after entering the first house in Hanhai, the tangy smell of meat made him hungry and he swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva.
Qu Jiuniang glanced at the soaked food and wine, and snorted: "Eat it if you want, or get out if you don't."
After saying that, he walked upstairs without looking back.
Meng Qi looked away reluctantly, telling himself that he would have it later, and quickly followed Jiuniang.
Those guests were also businessmen who came to Hanhai all the time, and could be regarded as regular customers of the first Hanhai family. At this time, they looked at each other with no surprise and laughed.
Haha, I just like Jiuniang to be so spicy
That is, those little girls don't smell like Jiuniang. Alas, it's a pity that it wasn't her foot-washing water just now.
Hearing these words, Meng Qi couldn't help but wipe cold sweat for them. If he kept saying this, he might see their bodies in the vast sea tonight.
Qu Jiuniang didn't seem to hear anything, pushed open a guest room and walked in. She sat down beside the bed and watched Meng Qi and Gu Changqing carefully close the door. Then he said with a half-smile: How brave he is to dare to return to Liushaji even after Zeluoju issued an evil sword pursuit order. To tell you the truth, there are five horse bandits and spies among the guests below. Two of them were subordinates of Zeluoju.
Meng Qi didn't expect to be able to hide it from Qu Jiuniang, who had once met him face to face, even though he was disguised in a non-professional manner. At any rate, she also heard that it was an outdoor scene: the young monk rushed back specially to find out which direction his junior brother was leaving the family to fight with the crying old man. where
Qu Jiuniang's expression was cold, her eyes were moving, and she was intoxicated. Of course, her target was not Meng Qi, but the emerald in Meng Qi's hand: one question, one gem.
I'll go, you go grab it. Meng Qi scolded him. A gem as red as blood and a gem as green as crystal escaped: three questions.
Who said this is a monopoly business? Going to inquire will only expose the secrets.
Qu Jiuniang looked at the three gems without blinking: The place where they last fought was Bomi, a dangerous place in the vast sea, where evil people gathered. The young monk was heading due west, and he should be chasing them.
As soon as he finished speaking, the fragrant wind filled his nostrils, refreshing his heart and lungs, and Meng Qi's eyes dazzled. All three gems in her hand fell into Qu Jiuniang's hands.
There is one more question left unasked. Meng Qi worked hard to fight for his rights.
Qu Jiuniang played with the gem in her hand with blurred eyes, and said impatiently: Ask quickly.
What was the evil sword pursuit? What was the outcome of the fight between the master and the crying old man? Meng Qi asked with concern.
Qu Jiuniang raised her head suddenly, with an expression that said, "Don't bully me for my poor skills. These are two questions."
Ahem, Meng Qi coughed. He took out a piece of jade and threw it to Qu Jiuniang. There was not much jewelry left from An Guoxie.
Qu Jiuniang's black and white eyes sparkled. Looking at the jade attentively, he waved to catch it. Such eyes match her mature and beautiful appearance and figure. If it were used on men, Meng Qi doubted that many would be able to resist it.
In the battle in Bomi, both sides suffered losses, but both seemed to still have the ability to fight again. As for what happens after that, only the devil knows. Qu Jiuniang put away the gems with satisfaction. The evil sword pursuit order was a symbol of Zeluoju's dominance of the vast sea. It was used to deal with enemies that were important but not worth his time. As soon as the evil sword's pursuit order comes out, the horse bandits who surrender to him in the vast sea, and the gangsters who work alone will all chase this person like crazy, because Zeluoju will satisfy his request that is not excessive.
Zeluo Ju had issued five evil sword pursuit orders before, but only one of the five people who were hunted survived. This was because he was at the edge of the vast sea at the time, quickly escaped and returned to the Northern Zhou Dynasty. The remaining four, the strongest of them, had already started. Eight orifices
Listening to Qu Jiuniang's introduction, Meng Qi felt that something was not right. The vast sea was vast, and even if the number of horse bandits was ten times the current number, they would be like pebbles thrown into the river without causing any waves. The four of them only needed to avoid the main route and cross the vast wilderness. In the Gobi, can the horse bandits still find them
Qu Jiuniang said with a sneer at the corner of her mouth: Although the vast sea is vast, there are not many places where humans can travel. Unless you are a master of location and can use the intersection with the heaven and earth to control the wind and rain and create water sources, otherwise, just clear water, It makes it impossible for you to do whatever you want.
The Gu Changqing family has lived in the Hanhai Oasis for generations, so they understand this well: Yes, in the Gobi, the most important thing is the water source. After all, the water source is scarce and the number is limited. The horse bandits understand these terrains, so they dare to talk about the pursuit. , However, Meng Qi, don't worry, no matter how small the water source is, it is only relative to the entire vast sea. It is impossible for the horse bandits to know everything and guard it. They still have to maintain their daily lives.
The daily life of horse bandits is naturally robbing.
Along the way, in order not to expose his identity, Meng Qi stopped using his legal name and changed back to his original name. He felt very happy.
It doesn't matter, the horse bandits are scattered all over the vast sea, and they come in groups, so there is nothing to fear. Meng Qihao comforted Gu Changqing angrily.
Qu Jiuniang sneered: "If you don't tell me, Luo Ju has a lot of white-headed birds on his hands. It's easy to contact him. Once someone picks them up, he may be blocked from the front and behind. It's not just the famous horse bandit leaders, nor you." Those who can be dealt with are at least thirty people with seven orifices and above.
Meng Qi nodded slightly. He was proud and cautious. He would definitely not fight the horse bandit leader if it was not necessary. However, he did not ask Qu Jiuniang for information about the horse bandit leader that he needed to pay attention to. Gu Changqing was a disciple of Hanhai and should be quite knowledgeable in this regard. In order to understand, why waste gems? Just like the problem of the evil sword pursuit order, it is really because of my quick words.
Qu Jiuniang didn't say anything more, her face was straight: "Go down, finish eating and drinking, and leave quickly."
I'll go, without the gems, I'll fall out faster than turning the page in a book. Meng Qi cursed, and returned to the lobby with Gu Changqing, ordering roasted lamb legs mixed with donkey meat and other food, and his mouth was full of oil.
Gu Changqing held up his chopsticks and was dumbfounded. Didn't he say that Shaolin would give up eating meat after enlightenment
After the meal, Meng Qi did not delay and pulled Gu Changqing out of Hanhai's first house.
Qu Jiuniang lazily propped her chin up and looked at the backs of the two of them. She let out a laugh and whispered to herself: It has only been a few days, but my whole temperament has changed. My martial arts seems to have become much stronger. Who said you are fine? This bastard Xin'an Guoxie may have died with his eyes open.
Her tone was calm.
After bringing all the dry food and water, Meng Qi looked at the vast Gobi desert and said suddenly: Mr. Gu, Zeluo Ju has issued an order to kill the evil sword. Going this way will be difficult and dangerous, so please come back. , these days I have roughly memorized the topography of the vast sea you mentioned.
Gu Changqing was silent for a moment, his face was solemn and solemn, but he said as if he was shining brightly: We are chivalrous and righteous people, even if there are tens of thousands of them, I will die.
Meng Qi turned to look at him in astonishment: Mr. Gu, you have to consider your own situation when doing justice.
This kind of simple knight seems to only appear in stories.
Gu Changqing smiled: I know, and I will not act recklessly. Although this journey is dangerous, it is not without opportunities. After all, horse bandits are scattered all over the vast sea. Besides, Meng Qi, you are also such a person.
Ah Meng Qi was quite confused.
Gu Changqing raised his whip and pointed it to the west: Encountering such a powerful enemy, and the master and younger brother are missing, you could have gone directly east and returned to Shaolin safely to ask for help. No one could say a typo, but you chose to go deep. Han Hai, facing danger and looking for his junior brother, is so loyal that he deserves to be called a hero.
Meng Qi was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly, we are so good
He felt heroic in his heart, drew out the Red Sun Suppressing Evil Sword, and pointed at the vast sea:
What's the point of a horse bandit child? Wash your neck and wait for someone to test the knife.
Gu Changqing was also infected by his arrogance and laughed and said: How can the horse bandits cover up the matter in the vast sea with one hand? Let's see who will be the winner today.
Amidst the laughter, the two of them clapped their horses and hurried into the vast sea.
At the first oasis due west, Meng Qi and Gu Changqing did not go directly to the inn or restaurant where they could inquire about information. Instead, they hid leisurely in the woods behind the market town and looked at the road out of the market town.
Meng Qi, why didn't you go in directly instead of asking someone to ask about it? Gu Changqing asked a little doubtfully. He was new to the world and had little experience.
In front of him, Meng Qi was considered an old man, and he briefly explained: This place is no better than the first one in Hanhai. Qu Jiuniang has a mysterious background, is not afraid of horse bandits, and will not betray us, while other intelligence chiefs and innkeepers may not dare If you don't give Zeluoju face, and the horse bandits and spies often hang out among them, if you rashly inquire about the whereabouts of your master and junior brother, you will definitely be noticed.
An Guoxie's body was left behind on purpose. Firstly, it made too much noise by setting fire, so it was unlikely that he would have been seen by the bandit spies at that time, which in vain delayed his departure. Secondly, if it was discovered, the traces on the corpse could be used Mislead the other person.
I see. Gu Changqing suddenly realized that many of the people who were hunted down in the past might have exposed their secrets after seeking information.
Although the two of them are quite heroic, they are not stupid. If they can avoid touching the horse bandits, of course they choose not to.
Just as Meng Qi was about to speak, he suddenly closed his mouth because a middle-aged man covered in robes came timidly. He was the man Meng Qi invited to the inn and wine shop to inquire about the whereabouts of Zhen Ding Xuan Bei.
Meng Qi's attention was not on the middle-aged man, but on his surroundings.
When the middle-aged man approached the woods, Meng Qi's eyes lit up and he saw a dark-faced man wearing a felt hat using trees and rocks to hide and sneaking behind. . .
