As soon as Tang Rong spoke, the smile on Qin Xiao's face disappeared immediately.
"What's wrong?" Tang Rong saw this and asked doubtfully: "Did I say something wrong?"
"No." Qin Xiao sighed: "Actually, I haven't had much contact with women since I was a child. You are the first woman to sit here and talk to me properly."
Tang Rong was startled, as if she didn't believe it.
"By the way, you are from Tang Dynasty, why are you in Wutuo?" Tang Rong asked: "Is it for business?"
Qin Xiao smiled and said: "How can I do business? I just run errands for others."
"Running errands?"
Qin Xiao didn't know Tang Rong's identity yet and couldn't reveal her identity. He could only say: "I heard that something happened in Tangren City. We have a caravan doing business in Tangren City. I don't know what the situation is. Some people say that there are many people in Tangren City.
The merchant went to Xifeng Castle, so I was ordered to go to Xifeng Castle to find out the news and see if my caravan was there."
"Tangren City?" Tang Rong looked at Qin Xiao with a hint of suspicion: "Which caravan are you from?"
Qin Xiao took a bite of snake meat and said while eating, "The master didn't let me say it."
Tang Rong knew this was an excuse, so she didn't ask much. She just said, "There are indeed many merchants in Tangren City who went to Xifeng Castle, but if your family is engaged in medicinal materials business, it's hard to say."
"Oh?" Qin Xiaoqi asked: "Why?"
"I heard that the White Wolf King not only ordered the burning of Tangren City, but also arrested several shopkeepers specializing in medicinal materials business." Tang Rong stared at Qin Xiao, as if she wanted to see some clues from Qin Xiao's face.
Qin Xiao smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, our family doesn't make medicinal materials." He also looked at Tang Rong: "Sister Rong, how come you know so much about the situation in Tangren City? Could it be that you are also doing business in Tangren City?"
Tang Rong nodded slightly: "I have indeed been doing business there before."
"In the medicine business?"
"Why do you say that?"
"Didn't you say that the White Wolf King ordered the arrest of merchants who were involved in the medicinal materials business? Naturally, you were hunted down by the Wutuo soldiers because of your medicinal materials business." Qin Xiao said: "Otherwise, why would they arrest you?"
Tang Rong said: "Just take it as such."
"The White Wolf King made such a fuss, and people in the customs were panicked." Qin Xiao sighed: "Many caravans had prepared goods and were ready to leave the customs. After hearing the news, they were so scared that they did not dare to move." Looking at Tang Rong, he asked:
"Sister Rong, you said that the White Wolf King ordered the arrest of businessmen who make medicinal materials. Why? Did some businessman give the White Wolf King the wrong medicine?"
Tang Rong shook her head and lowered her head, thoughtfully.
Qin Xiao didn't bother him. He knew that there was something Tang Rong didn't want to say, and even if he asked him a thousand times, it might not be useful.
"No, I can't stay here." After a long time, Tang Rong suddenly raised his head, with a hint of anxiety between his brows: "I...I have to leave."
"Where can you go like this?" Qin Xiao frowned and said: "Your wound has not healed at all. Last night... you caught a cold so badly. If you leave now, wouldn't it make things worse? No matter how big the problem is, it can't be better than your own.
Is the body important?”
Tang Rong sighed quietly: "You are right, what I have to do is indeed more important than my life."
Qin Xiao was startled, but Tang Rong had already stood up reluctantly, with a worried look on her face: "You don't understand, if... if we delay, many people will die."
"Sister Rong, what's going on? If you can trust me, tell me, maybe I can help you." Qin Xiao also stood up, looking worried at Tang Rong's weak appearance.
Tang Rong shook his head and said: "It's not that I don't want to tell you. This matter is really dangerous and I don't want you to get involved. The less you know, the better for you." Looking at Qin Xiao's eyes, her voice was gentle: "
Wang Xiao, you have saved me several times, I am grateful and cannot drag you down anymore."
"You said you were going to do something. I don't want to say whether it can be done. I just want to ask you, how do you leave?" Qin Xiao frowned and said: "I don't even know where this place is. I ran away in the middle of the night last night.
My horse is as fast as lightning, and it is at least a hundred miles away from the old shepherd's tent. I observed earlier that there is no tent in sight beyond this forest. If you go to do things alone, you are on foot.
Do you want to go? The way you are now, it’s already great that you can walk ten miles.”
Tang Rong was even more worried and frowned: "Then... what should we do?"
"You said it affects the lives of many people?" Qin Xiaowei pondered and finally asked.
Tang Rong hummed softly.
"Although I don't know what you are going to do, but if you don't mind, I will send you there." Qin Xiao saw that Tang Rong was worried and knew that the matter was not trivial. If it really affected the lives of many people, he could help her.
.
The most important thing is that Qin Xiao knew that Tang Rong suffered from cold syndrome.
The cold syndrome has troubled Qin Xiao for many years. He has always wanted to find out who wanted to do such cruel things to him, and what grudges he had with that person to make him do something to a child.
From the beginning of Qin Xiao's memory, he was suffering from cold syndrome. Although Old Man Zhong never told the truth until his death, Qin Xiao understood that when that man took action, he was probably still in his infancy.
And this cold syndrome must also be related to one's life experience.
In life, if you don't even know where you come from, that is undoubtedly the most painful thing.
Until now, he had been unable to find any clues, but this time he discovered that Tang Rong also suffered from cold syndrome. Although he was horrified, he also hoped to find some clues about his life experience through Tang Rong.
But of course you can't ask directly about this kind of thing.
Just like for many years, Qin Xiao himself has concealed the cold syndrome and never revealed it to anyone. Even Meng Zimo, whom he respected the most, did not know the truth at all. He knew that Tang Rong could not easily tell others about the cold syndrome.
.
Although I have saved my life from my beautiful sister, it is impossible to gain Tang Rong's trust in such a short period of time. After all, Tang Rong has a cautious temperament. If I want to get clues from her, I must completely gain her trust.
.
If you stay with Tang Rong, you may not really be able to get clues, but if you part ways with her, there is really no hope.
What's more, the beautiful sister is very weak now, and it's hard for me to leave her side.
Although he promised Yu Wen Chengchao to go to Xifeng Castle to inquire about the news, Yu Wen Chengchao's affairs were nothing compared to his own life experience.
If Yuwen Chengchao didn't get any news about him, he would always send someone to inquire again. But now that he had left his beautiful sister alone, he might never see her again, let alone know how she contracted the cold syndrome.
"Are you sending me there?" Tang Rong was startled. She didn't expect Qin Xiao to take the initiative to ask for help.
Qin Xiao smiled bitterly and said: "Sister Rong, if you can think of other ways, I will take back what I said."
Tang Rong also smiled bitterly and said: "At this point, I really have nothing to do."
"You want to save the lives of those people, but you can't walk on foot. What do you think you should do?" Qin Xiao looked at Tang Rong with a smile.
Tang Rong sighed and said, "I don't want you to get involved."
"You want me to get involved, but I won't get involved either." Qin Xiao said: "Sister Rong, let's talk it over first. I'm just going to be your groom and take you to where you want to go. After you arrive at your destination, you have to
What you do has nothing to do with me, but the wages you should pay must not be less."
Tang Rong smiled: "Groomman?"
"Be your little groom." Qin Xiao said, "What do you think?"
Tang Rong said with a smile: "Take a spin and let me see if you are qualified to be my groom."
Qin Xiao put down the snake meat in his hand, actually turned around, and asked: "Isn't Yushu handsome and unrestrained in the wind? Give it to the beautiful sister...!" As soon as the "beautiful sister" came out, he immediately reacted glibly,
This was what he was thinking, but he couldn't help but blurt it out.
When Tang Rong heard the words "beautiful sister", she was stunned for a moment, then her cheeks turned red and she said nothing.
"I mean that if you want to be a groom for Sister Rong, you must not only have good horse skills, but also be decent." Qin Xiao was a little embarrassed: "If you are extremely ugly, you will be embarrassed to be a groom for Sister Rong."
Tang Rong smiled slightly and said: "What's the point of being ugly? As long as a man is ambitious and responsible, no one dares to look down upon him." As soon as he finished speaking, his body swayed slightly, as if he was unsteady on his feet.
Qin Xiao hurriedly said: "Sit down and eat quickly." He added: "Sister Rong, it's okay for me to be a groom, but there is a condition. If you don't agree, not only will I not be a groom, but I will never let you leave.
.”
"What conditions?"
"There is a saying that goes well: if you want to do good, you must first sharpen your weapon. In your current situation, if you get on your horse and get bumpy, you won't be able to do much if you really get there." Qin Xiao glanced outside the cave: "And there are many things nearby.
I don’t know if there are any Wutu soldiers. Let’s eat something first and then you have a good sleep. By dark, the wound should be better and your energy and strength will be restored a lot. Then we can set off again.
,how do you feel?"
Although Tang Rong is conservative, she is not a stubborn person. She knows that in her current situation, she is really not suitable for jolting on a horse. She slowly sat down, nodded and said: "Okay, I will listen to you. Are there any other conditions?"
"No more." Qin Xiao picked up the snake meat, sat down, and said with a smile: "Come, eat, eat!" He bit off another large piece of meat.
Tang Rong said: "Have you eaten it before?"
"I've eaten it. It tastes delicious." Qin Xiao said.
Tang Rong said: "Why do you want to eat this kind of thing?"
"I didn't have to eat before, so I ate whatever I could find." Qin Xiao said with a smile: "Sister Rong must have been born in a wealthy family, never suffered any hardships, and had no worries about food and clothing. But poor people risk their lives just for a bite to eat. Sometimes even
I work so hard that I can't even eat enough." He shook the snake meat in his hand and said, "This snake meat is a delicacy for hungry people. Some people are so hungry that they can even eat mice and cockroaches.
"
Tang Rong's eyebrows tightened and she said in surprise: "You...have you ever eaten a mouse or cockroach?"
"I don't." Qin Xiao shook his head and said, "It's not that far yet. But if you really have nothing to eat, as long as you fill your stomach, you won't care about anything."
"Then you...were you born in a poor family?" Tang Rong asked cautiously.
Qin Xiao smiled and said: "It's not considered poor. I could still eat enough when I was a child, so I didn't have to finish one meal without finishing the next. It's just that I couldn't enjoy the delicacies of mountains and seas." He touched his face and asked: "Rong Rong
Sister, do I look like I was born in poverty?"
Tang Rong smiled charmingly, shook her head and said: "No, you are very good-looking, delicate and delicate, and all girls will like you."
"What about you?" Qin Xiao blurted out and asked, "Do you like it?"
"Young groom, are you looking for a beating?" Tang Rong glared and deliberately made a cold face: "Don't tell me such a joke, I won't spare you next time." Seeing Qin Xiao lowering his head with an aggrieved look, he knew that he
He was just pretending, he smiled and said: "Why don't you hurry up and enjoy your delicacies? You said that you are good at cooking. I will let you cook a meal when I have the opportunity in the future."
"I'm so happy." Qin Xiao laughed, biting off a piece of snake meat, and his lips and teeth were filled with saliva.
