One hundred and ninety six chapters all the way to good things come true
() Ximen Qing did not expect that he would know the names of his colleagues before he arrived in Bianliang, Tokyo.
Lao Qintou's brother has a good name, Qian Gui.
Lao Qintou was illiterate and couldn't write. After making several gestures with Ximen Qing, he understood that the word "noble" refers to wealth, not the name of a cabinet.
If you have money, you will naturally have wealth.
When I first came up with this name, I definitely wanted to be rich and wealthy.
The name Qin Feng also sounds noble, but who would have thought that the meaning of "wind" is "brought by the strong wind".
Just like all kinds of things in the world, it is impossible to understand them thoroughly just by relying on a name.
Ximen Qing happily agreed to Lao Qin's request. Although Qin Feng had not come back for twenty years, Ximen Qing did not feel that Qin Feng was so ungrateful.
After all, he was only seven years old when he was sent away. What can a child of that age remember?
Ximen Qing did not tell him that he and Wu Song were going to the Imperial City Division to take up their new posts. As long as he brought the news, it would be considered as fulfilling his duties.
As for Lin Lingsu's affairs, Ximen Qing also asked a few questions, and Old Qintou gritted his teeth and said: "That demon has a magical skill. He traveled in Huaizhou many years ago. He claimed to have the ability to communicate with heaven and earth, and he could communicate with ghosts and gods.
He has defrauded an unknown amount of money in the name of eliminating disasters and bringing good fortune, and has turned husband and wife against each other. Who doesn't hate him?"
"I heard that the demon has gone to Bianliang, Tokyo. I see that what you have learned is authentic Taoism. If there is a chance, I will expose this demon in person."
Ximen Qing nodded in agreement, chatted with Lao Qintou for a few more words, and then stood up to leave.
"You have traveled hard all night, go and rest."
After exiting Lao Qintou's house, the villagers arranged a room for everyone to rest.
"The rooster and black dog have been stewed separately, so we can't waste them." A little boy with a runny nose told Ximen Qing excitedly: "Dignified guests, have a good rest. When you wake up, it's time to start dinner."
"One black, two yellow, three flowers and four."
Ximen Qing muttered some incomprehensible mantras and fell asleep almost immediately.
When I woke up, the whole courtyard was indeed filled with fragrant fragrance, which made my mouth full of food.
Look at the sun hanging in the sky, it is already slightly to the west.
The most anxious thing was when fleas started to appear. This guy had just fallen asleep on the table, so he was the first to wake up.
Shi Qian walked back and forth at the kitchen door, and even the ground made him step down by an inch.
"Okay, you've stewed it for so long and the meat has rotted in the pot. How can you eat it?"
Seeing Shi Qian's anxious look, the village woman who was cooking explained: "The roosters and black dogs have been raised for several years. They are only fragrant when they are stewed slowly over low heat."
Shi Qian reluctantly accepted this explanation, but after going back and forth twice, he asked again: "Is it ready? Can you eat it?"
The village woman smiled and shook her head while preparing other dishes.
When Qian raised this question for the ninety-eighth time, Ximen Qing had already stretched himself and stood in the yard.
"Okay, Ergouzi, help bring it to the table!"
Ergouzi was the little boy with a snotty nose just now. This nickname made Ximen Qing laugh uncontrollably.
Shi Qian looked at the two plates of meat, took a deep breath, and while swallowing his saliva, he raised his thumb and said, "It tastes so good, my saliva is almost flowing out!"
"How can you eat if you really drool on the plate?" Ergouzi didn't care that his big nose was in danger of dripping at any time, and loudly accused Shi Qian who was drooling.
Shi Qian didn't have the same understanding as him, so he smiled and turned around to wake people up.
Lao Qintou did not appear during the meal. The old man was getting older and had to take a nap at noon. Ximen Qing and others were so full after eating that they were full. Sun Erniang also praised the cook's skills and the good soup.
.
Er Gouzi's mouth was full of things, and he was whining and gesticulating, which meant that it was his mother who was cooking.
Naturally, the village woman who was cooking did not serve the food. Instead, she set up a small table in the kitchen and ate by herself with a few helpers.
Ximen Qing touched Er Gouzi's head and said to Shi Qian: "Third brother, you see that the child is smart, why not accept him as an apprentice?"
Shi Qian, who was on the drum, stretched out his hand to touch Er Gouzi, nodded and said: "This child has slender bones, so he is suitable."
Ergouzi was unconvinced and suddenly inhaled the snot he was dragging down his nose. Angrily, he got rid of Shi Qian's clutches and said, "You are not much taller than me. Who wants to learn from you?"
"Don't think I'm tall." Shi Qian took back his hand and touched his moustache and said, "I know a lot of skills. I learned how to climb a roof as if I were walking on the ground. I can go up and down. Who in the world doesn't know that I have a reputation as a flea?"
"
"don't want!"
Ergouzi's head almost shook like a rattle, and he flatly refused: "None of what you said is good. If you don't learn, you won't learn."
"Then what do you want to learn?" Ximen Qing asked with interest.
The two dogs rolled their eyes: "If you want to learn, you must learn something useful." He pointed at Wu Song and said, "The sword skills are good."
He turned back to look at Ximen Qing: "I also want to learn the trick of making the stone shine!"
Seeing what Er Gouzi said, everyone laughed. Ximen Qing shook his head and said: "My second brother has the ability to kill people. Why should you, a little kid, learn from him? As for me, I can't teach you this trick."
"
"Why!" Ergouzi's eyes flickered. When Ximen Qing wasn't paying attention, he stretched out his hand to touch the thunder stone on Ximen Qing's waist. Shi Qian hurriedly hugged him when fleas appeared on his back and said, "You baby
Don't reach out randomly, there is thunder in the stone, and you are not playing tricks if it gets shocked."
After hearing this, Er Gouzi gave up, but his two black eyes stared at Lei Gongshi, and he couldn't relax for a moment.
"If you're not afraid of thieves, you're afraid of thieves." Ximen Qing joked, "Third brother, this is your successor."
Shi Qian laughed and said, "This baby is really interesting. When he grows up, I will definitely accept him as my apprentice."
Everyone laughed again, but when Wu Song mentioned his apprentice, he naturally sighed when he thought of Xiao Tianqing.
Ximen Qing knew Wu Song's thoughts and advised: "There is nothing but fate in the world. Even Mr. Gongsun knew that Xiao Tianqing was not lucky, so he gave him the magic talisman. God's will can play tricks on people, but there is no way."
"Who can explain things about ghosts and gods clearly?" Wu Song thought for a moment and said, "It's a pity that I was confused and didn't officially accept Xiao Tianqing as my apprentice."
Sun Erniang must have heard what Wu Song said about Xiao Tianqing, and she also tried to persuade Wu Song.
Rice, of course, cannot be eaten in vain.
Ximen Qing stuffed a ten-guan jiaozi into Ergouzi's hand, and then ordered the porters to set off and prepare to spend the night at a post station twenty miles away.
The villagers were reluctant to leave. After all, merchants who were skilled in magic could not always pass by.
So the villagers kept walking out of the village entrance and stopped when they reached the stone with the word Qin engraved on it.
Ximen Qing got on his horse and took one last look at the stone. Lao Qintou's words suddenly rang in his ears.
"The little old man is illiterate, and the only thing he can write is his own character Qin. To be honest, besides carving the character Qin, I really don't know what else to engrave."
"This old Qin Tou is really interesting. I think he must have been a great hero back then." Ximen Qing thought to himself. Looking back, he seemed to still be able to see Old Qin Tou squinting and leaning on the stone to bask in the sun.
Let the white hair be blown gently by the breeze.
"That old Qin Tou is extraordinary." Sun Erniang was also deeply touched: "Why didn't the Nu family hear his name from father?"
Wu Song said: "There are many anonymous people in the world. Perhaps in your father's eyes, this old Qin has long since washed his hands in a golden basin, so why mention his name?"
"You haven't seen those villagers in the Qin family village. Most of them have some kung fu. They must have been taught by this old Qin head."
After eating, drinking, and resting, the porters' steps became noticeably faster, and the twenty-mile stretch was shorter than Ximen Qing had expected.
The inn, which is not a small one, can already be seen clearly.
Although the sun was still high, Ximen Qing decided to let the team stay at the inn for the night to replenish their energy and start the journey the next day.
Ximen Qing touched the Huangcheng Si waist badge in his arms. This was a free meal ticket on the road.
Sure enough, as soon as the badge was displayed, the postmen recognized it.
This place is not far from Bianliang, Tokyo, so the recognition rate of the Imperial City waist badge is naturally much higher.
Of course, people from the Imperial City Division usually come and go in a hurry, and most of them go alone or in pairs. It is rare to see people like Ximen Qing and Wu Song with a wine transport team.
The Imperial City Department has always been very mysterious in its affairs. The postmen would at most discuss it behind their backs, but no one dared to question him face to face.
In Ximen Qing's words, this is called "executing a mission."
Nothing happened all night.
Only when he got up early the next morning did Ximen Qing realize that something was wrong.
Shi Qian usually slept at this time, but Wu Song should have gotten up early to practice boxing.
There was a lot of noise in Wu Song's boxing practice, and Ximen Qing had always been the alarm clock.
Maybe it was because he went to bed early last night, but Ximen Qing got up early today listening to the magpies chirping in the yard.
When Ximen Qing was wondering, he saw Wu Song's door opened a crack, revealing Sun Erniang's head looking around.
"what's the situation."
Ximen Qing quickly ducked behind the trees in the courtyard without thinking.
I saw Sun Erniang quietly opening the door and walking out after looking at it for a while, walking towards her room. Her steps were light and her hair was messy and she covered her clothes.
It wasn't until Sun Erniang returned to her room and closed the door with a "squeak" that Wu Song's exasperated cough came from the room.
Immediately afterwards, Wu Song's figure appeared at the door.
The usually thick eyebrows and big eyes turned into happy brows. Wu Song walked in the courtyard, stretched out his fists and legs, and got into a posture and was about to practice boxing, but he didn't know what he thought of and stopped.
The magpies were jumping around in the trees and kept chirping.
"You flat-haired beast, you also know that the master did something good last night!" Wu Song randomly picked up a piece of gravel as big as a fingernail from the ground and reached out to pop it out.
At this moment, a sentence came from behind the tree: "Congratulations!"
These words were so abrupt that Wu Song was startled.
