None of them are human

Baitao didn't know why she paid attention to him.

She scratched Ying Zheng's palm, meaning to ask. Ying Zheng had a perfect tacit understanding with her. His big hand wrapped around her palm, and Baitao said, "My name is Baitao."

"Baitao?" Ba Qing said, "The Bai family is rare, but she has the same appearance as this rare sister."

Baitao was so good at complimenting others that she almost felt embarrassed by the compliments.

Ba Qing turned his attention to Ying Zheng, and then circled Meng Yi and Meng Tian, ​​"It's already midnight. If these gentlemen continue to walk at night, they are wasting such a delicate beauty. They wouldn't be better off at my Changletian Inn.

Stay here for the night, don’t worry, I’ll treat you to my old sister, just treat it as an acquaintance.”

Baitao thought to herself that my fox has rough skin and thick flesh, and is not a delicate beauty.

Just when she was about to refuse, Ying Zheng's palm pressed against the back of her hand, and she rolled her tongue and said, "Okay."

Follow Ba Qing into the colorful and colorful lobby. The Hu girls in the lobby are dancing enthusiastically. They have long emerald sleeves, half-naked tops, armbands with beaded skirts, and jewelry, hairbands, and accessories fluttering with the strong movements.

Rao.

"color!"

"Big color! Color! Color!"

It was already midnight, but the nobles inside were still drunk and shouting and applauding. Therefore, several people who had seen King Qin did not recognize King Qin when he came out.

That's right, King Qin didn't want to stay in the palace, so why did he go to Xianyang City Inn to have fun at night?

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

"Wow--"

The sliding wooden door blocked the hustle and bustle outside, and also blocked the prying eyes of an old scholar in the lobby.

Ba Qing held a wind lantern and twisted his waist to lead the way.

Here, the corridors and roads are connected, and the halls and rooms are continuous.

There is an elegant home hidden in the shadows in front of them. The cobblestones on the ground are round and shimmering. The dream and ethereal place in the river valley swept Baitao Yingzheng and his party over in an instant.

Baitao often went out of the palace, but she had seen all kinds of inns, so she asked: "Sister, your inn is different from others."

Ba Qing looked back and smiled sweetly: "Of course they are different. If they are the same, there are so many tycoons stationed in Xianyang City, how can there be a place for a widow like me?"

Baitao also said: "My sister is still smarter."

"That is."

After not walking for long, a woman ran out from the corridor next to him.

The woman was a blond-haired, blue-eyed man. She was wearing a thin tulle that could not be hung up, and had two long and thick whips on her head.

She threw herself into the arms of Ba Qing, who was still walking, and cried: "Good sister, where have you gone? Let the slave family wait."

Ba Qing almost staggered and said, "There are some tourists here, so you should keep your voice down."

"no."

Hu Nu acted coquettishly with tears in her eyes. When she saw the group of people next to her, especially Baitao with a protruding face, her expression changed several times under the moonlight. She pointed at Baitao and said to her: "I didn't have to look at you for long, Sister Qing."

,who is she?!"

Ba Qing's eyes wandered: "I know you on the street."

"I know you on the street. You can take Sister Qing, whom I know on the street, to your home." Hu Nu wanted to complain but said, "I don't know anything about her, not to mention that this sister has a good friend!"

Baitao: "."

No, this scene seems to overlap with the rape scene I saw before?

Baitao quickly explained: "No, I'm not a bad person, I won't do anything, and this is not my appearance."

Before he could finish his words, a big hand grabbed hold of his slender waist, and Ying Zheng arrogantly declared his ownership, "I am her lover."

"."

Baitao thought this was a strange thing to say, but she didn't think about refuting it. Anyway, it was a good relationship, and it wasn't a big deal.

Hu Nu went to see Ba ​​Qing and found that she didn't express any opinion towards her at all. She stamped her foot and left crying.

Ba Qing laughed and said: "This is the Hu girl I bought. She was spoiled by me. Her eyes grew up to her head just because of her beauty. But it's okay. When she sees there are people outside the mountain, she should do it."

Wake up and wake up.”

Baitao didn't know what to reply. She seemed a little embarrassed and could only say: "Oh."

The silver toad is bright, the jade is long, and there is no sound for a while under the moonlight.

Ba Qing lights the copper lantern.

Illuminating this house, the floor is paved with white jade, the walls go up to the roof, and there are ebony bookshelves next to it, and the house is filled with joy and bright light.

Baitao was shocked by this luxurious inn, "Sister, how come your inn is so rich and luxurious? If it is destroyed by guests, wouldn't it be a loss?"

"Losing money means losing money." Ba Qing didn't care much, "I, a widow, can open such an inn, but it's thanks to the good husband's family I married who died young, and left me a wealth of money and silver that I can't squander.

I don’t have to serve my husband, but I can enjoy such wealth and leisure, so I’m afraid of losing this little bit of capital.”

"."

That makes sense.

"Sister, how are you? Can I marry your sister?" Ba Qing gave her two charming looks.

Baitao opened her lips: "It's a good marriage."

"So, choosing a husband's family is just like running a business, there are connections everywhere."

Ba Qing glanced at the cold-faced Ying Zheng and said, "Sister, I'm telling you, you must never choose those houses with many obstacles. You can get yourself killed just by making trouble. By the way, good sister.

, in your good years now, have you chosen your husband’s family?”

Baitao shook his head: "I haven't chosen my husband's family yet."

She is not a mortal woman, and she doesn't necessarily know what kind of husband the fox will choose.

"That's great. It just so happens that you will visit my sister often in the future, and my sister can also teach you how to choose a husband's family. For this woman, choosing a husband's family is a lifelong matter. If you marry well, you can reach the sky in one step."

Ba Qing's eyes were shining, and he was about to take Baitao's little hand, but he was blocked by Ying Zheng. Ying Zheng's eight-foot-six-inch height and cold aura frightened Ba Qing.

She took two steps back, fanned herself with a handkerchief, "Actually, it's up to you to choose, it doesn't matter, it's all good."

Ying Zheng interrupted her and said coldly: "Bashu is rich in natural cinnabar, but it is controlled by the low-key Ba family."

Ba Qing's face changed slightly.

"On the surface, Ba Jia only does small businesses such as jewelry, carriages, inns, and silk. In fact, privately, he has monopolized the supply of cinnabar to various countries and has taken over major trading companies."

Ba Qing was shocked: "Your Excellency..."

His narrow eyes narrowed slightly, and his thin lips continued to whisper, "The leader of the Ba tribe is called Ba Qing. He has become rich by monopolizing cinnabar, but if he wants to assume the position of chief, he has to remain a widow and marry another man."

Ba Qing broke into a cold sweat, "This is the Ba family's secret, Your Excellency. Who are you?"

"There is no airtight wall under the sky."

Ying Zheng would not attack the wealthy merchants stationed in Qin. Seeing that his suspicion was confirmed, he left with Baitao.

Meng Yi and Meng Tian looked back at the extremely nervous Ba Qing with their sword in hand, and quickly followed him.

Meng Yi muttered, "Why do you think this Ba Qing woman wants to stop the girl in your arms? What are the benefits of doing so?"

Meng Tian didn't understand either, but he had to pretend to understand even if he didn't understand, "You know nothing!"

*

It was already dawn when I ran back to Xianyang Palace.

Ying Zheng carried the sleeping Baitao into the bedroom, gently placed Baitao on the couch and tucked him into the quilt.

After placing a kiss on her plump forehead, she turned around and went to change into her robe and go to court.

Baitao stayed up all night, and found that as soon as he touched the soft bed, the whole fox seemed to be sealed, his mind was numb, and he couldn't even move at all.

Just like that, I slept until the afternoon.

In the afternoon, King Qin will deal with political affairs. He will summon various ministers to discuss political affairs.

Baitao knew he wouldn't come.

Rui'er wiped her face and hands in a daze. After washing and changing clothes, she immediately found an excuse to get rid of all the maids and climbed out of the wall of the back garden.

The harem here only houses the Queen Mother, Mrs. Han, the Queen Mother Huayang and a few concubines of King Qin Xiaowen.

It's quite refreshing and cold.

Especially the Queen Mother's palace, where servants used to shuttle constantly, was as if a brush had been passed through layers of sticky water, covered with moss.

It had been more than half a year since Baitao last paid homage to Aunt Zhao. Later, Zhao Ji wrote a bamboo note directly telling Baitao not to come. Unexpectedly, after not seeing each other for more than a year, the place was already desolate and desolate.

Bai Tao stared at it for several times without blinking.

After confirming that there was really no one there, she directly approached the demonic palace.
