Chapter 69 Accident
Backed by a daughter-in-law, fearless——
The world is divided into four parts, the rivers and lakes and the martial arts are naturally not the same, not to mention that the martial arts in the Central Plains are constantly disputed because of the complexity of the sects.
Outside of the Central Plains, there are martial artists from Northern Yan and Xiliang, and they exist separately from the Central Plains martial arts.
The people of Beiyan are good at riding and archery, brave and good at fighting, but they are a little inferior in the study of martial arts.
Xiliang is the most able to stand against the martial arts of the Central Plains, and the grievances and grievances between the two sides are even more complicated.Later, the national power of Xiliang declined, and the martial arts family in the Central Plains dominated. The capable people and strangers from the Western Regions scattered and lived in seclusion, and they did not see each other for many years.
But in this Linglou, if you look around, you can see people with different skills like the beautiful lady who entertains guests.
They may dress up as waiters, or sit on the stage and play the pipa, and there are "mages" who can do magic tricks. Ordinary people can't tell the difference, but only find it fresh.
Kong Ye could see through it at a glance.
"If they are really descendants of Xiliang warriors," Xu Muzhou tasted the ginger honey osmanthus tea that was placed on the table and found it to be delicious.
By the way, he also poured a cup for the black-clothed swordsman, "Such a group of people came to our capital in the Central Plains to open a restaurant, can it be regarded as Xiliang's involvement in our Fengguo government?"
Although the undercurrent between several countries has been surging for more than ten years, everyone still has to maintain the harmony on the surface.
Once upon a time, the founding monarchs of the four countries gathered together and made an agreement - between countries, there should only be friendly exchanges and no interference in internal affairs, otherwise it will be regarded as a breach of contract and a declaration of war.
That's why Xu Muzhou asked this question.
They sat in a box, with a large window on the left and right sides, which seemed to be separated from the noise elsewhere in the building.
Moreover, the voices of the two of them were not high-pitched. It stands to reason that people outside should not be able to hear them.
But the beautiful lady who received people and entertained guests seemed to have an ear for the wind. As soon as Xu Muzhou finished speaking, she walked over lightly.
Mei Jiao Niang has an excellent figure, and she also walks with style. The few ordinary steps in the corridor, when she walks through it, it is like a lotus growing every step of the way.
Kong Ye just wanted to talk about the way to identify martial arts, he is good at it, but Xu Muzhou couldn't explain the question just now, he should discuss it with Shen Yi.
In the end, before Kong Ye could speak, a sweet and tender voice came over: "The people in our building are all rural idlers. It's not easy to make a living in troubled times."
The implication is that he does not deny his identity as a Xiliang native, but the Xiliang martial arts has been in decline for a long time, and their descendants have long since become "idlers".
As an idler, it is reasonable to live anywhere.If someone insists on using their life experience and background to explain things, it is only the sin of this person's desire and narrow-mindedness.
Xu Muzhou knew that the beautiful girl was beating him with insinuations, but Xu Muzhou pretended not to understand, and instead asked to see the shopkeeper Cao of Minglinglou by name.
Meijiao Niang was surprised for a moment, and then she played with a beautiful smile: "It is not convenient for our shopkeeper to meet with foreigners. If there is anything important for this young master, you can tell me, and I will pass it on to you."
Xu Muzhou didn't intend to listen to her, ""Inconvenient"?But why?Could it be that shopkeeper Cao is seriously ill?Or have a disability? "
Meijiao Niang nodded, her beautiful eyes drooped, as if she was about to cry: "...our shopkeeper is a poor person, with a disability in her mother's womb, and looks like a ghost."
"People who have seen his true face are all frightened. Over time, the shopkeeper no longer sees people."
I thought that such a rhetoric would dispel Xu Muzhou's desire to see the shopkeeper Cao, but I didn't expect that Xu Muzhou was not affected by Mei Jiaoniang's grief at all, and he had no sympathy at all.
Instead, he smiled leisurely and said, "It's okay, I'm brave, and my brother is also brave, please lead the way and take us to meet the shopkeeper."
Xu Muzhou with this appearance seemed a bit unhuman.
"My lord, my family said it's inconvenient, so why do you force others to make things difficult for you? Could it be that people from the Central Plains are born higher than us idle people from other lands?"
Mei Jiao Niang seemed to be a little annoyed, "Master, do you want to humiliate us?"
Xu Muzhou ignored the hat that Meijiao Niang put on his head, and his words were still calm, "Go and tell your shopkeeper that I am almost going to become the former chief helm of the Red Flower Club. host."
"Thinking about it, he is willing to see me."
"What would the red flower be? We've never heard of it here." Mei Jiao Niang wanted to turn around and leave.
"Then "Shadow River Alliance", have you heard of it? "Xu Muzhou was holding a small round teacup, showing a very different aggressiveness than usual, "The former acting leader of the Yingjiang League, unfortunately, is my master. "
"If I ask the old man to do it, it will be easy to dismantle ten famous actors and actresses."
The beautiful lady seemed unable to believe her ears: "My son, as the husband-in-law of the regent of the current dynasty, does not lead by example, but uses his power to bully the common people, it is really inconceivable."
"Oh," Xu Muzhou's eyes were playful, "Idle people who work hard to earn a living know that I am the husband-in-law of the Prince Regent. It seems that my marriage with Zhuang Bai is more complicated than I imagined. Be big."
Then Xu Muzhou climbed along the pole, not only was he not overwhelmed by the so-called "husband-in-law of the regent".
On the contrary, he confessed generously, saying that since he is a couple with the notorious Lord Shen, naturally he cannot be a kind person.
"I'm here today to find my lost sister. You either hand him over, or take me to your shopkeeper, and ask him to prove to me that you didn't detain him."
"Otherwise...you have all heard of the reputation of the Regent. If I ask him to come forward, let alone run a restaurant, even in this capital, you probably won't be able to stay any longer."
When Xu Muzhou mentioned Shen Yi, there was a hint of sweetness in his heart.
He suddenly realized that Shen Yi's title of "evil king" is quite useful sometimes.
And the beautiful woman in front of him was moved by some words, and she no longer argued that there had never been a missing woman in her restaurant. Instead, her complexion sank and she summoned a servant.
The two were outside the wing room, and they didn't know what Mei Jiao Niang had explained to others. Anyway, it took about an incense stick before Mei Jiao Niang came in again.
Said that the shopkeeper agreed to meet with them, but the shopkeeper Cao does not live in the Mingying Building, if he wants to meet, he has to take a carriage to the outskirts of the capital.
Xu Muzhou believed this to be true.
Just now when Mei Jiao Niang called the boy, she probably wanted to send a letter to someone outside, so it can be seen that shopkeeper Cao must indeed live outside.
With Kong Ye guarding him, Xu Muzhou naturally had no fear of getting into the carriage prepared by Mingyinglou.It's just that the curtains of the carriage don't know what kind of fabric is used, but it doesn't allow any light to pass through.
Xu Muzhou thought to himself, this is a good time, you don't need to cover your eyes, anyway, you can't see clearly when you are sitting in this carriage.
After walking for less than half an hour, Xu Muzhou got out of the carriage when he arrived at a rare farmland outside the capital city, and found that the large field in front of him, its distribution and separation, seemed familiar.
Because when he was in Xialiang County, Xu Muzhou led various farmers to divide the fields, which was like this at first.
Xu Muzhou thought it was amused: "Could it be possible that the land that I have divided arbitrarily has been carefully studied by someone?" As he said that, Xu Muzhou felt a little complacent in his heart.
After all, only textbooks can be followed.
Kong Ye told him not to get carried away, "Although there are farmlands all around, there are secret guards and eyeliners hidden in every field. As you said, shopkeeper Cao is definitely not an easy person."
"Not only is it not easy, maybe I still know him." Xu Muzhou didn't explain the reason, but continued to ask: "How do these eyeliners and hidden guards compare with Shi Daoqing?"
Kong Ye's cold voice was devoid of emotion: "All together, I can't match the three successes of senior teacher."
Xu Muzhou smiled lightly, "That's even more of a problem. Let's go, I'm going in to meet him."
In this vast farmland, as far as the eye can see, there is only a simple house made of wood and thatch. If you want to find someone, you can only look in this house.
The door of the room was ajar, Xu Muzhou stretched out his hand and pushed it open, and saw that the furnishings in the room were also simple and plain, even with a bit of "poverty" bitterness.
The wooden house has two floors. No one can be seen on the first floor, so they can only walk to the second floor along the wooden ladder.
From the first to the second floor, I saw a man wrapped up tightly, sitting in the center of the room, holding a pen in his right hand, dipped in ink, writing and drawing on a notebook.
As soon as he turned his face, he saw that this person's face was wrapped with thick gauze, only a pair of eyes were exposed, and it was a bit creepy to be stared at by him suddenly.
Xu Muzhou settled down, his face was more solemn than before.He stepped into the house.
"You're the one who insists on seeing me?" Shopkeeper Cao put down his pen, and didn't invite Xu Mu Zhou and Kong Ye to sit down, looking back and forth between them.
Fortunately, Xu Muzhou didn't come here to chat with anyone, so he simply stood up and said straight: "Sister-in-law Xu Shuangtan entered the Mingying Building a few days ago, and after entering, she didn't come out."
"As an elder brother, how can I see my sister suffer? I'm here to find my sister."
Shopkeeper Cao's legs should be disabled. He leaned on the back of the chair with a hoarse and strange voice: "I don't think this guest is looking for a sister."
"Otherwise, what evidence can you produce to prove that your sister disappeared in Mingyinglou? If not, then it's just that you deliberately wanted to find me unhappy in Mingyinglou."
Xu Muzhou was not in a hurry to argue with him about this, but took a quick look and found that there was a matching feather arrow hanging on the wall of this bare-walled house.
Take a closer look, the arrows on the wall are very familiar to Xu Muzhou, because the feather arrow that pierced Shen Yi's chest was exactly the same as this one.
"It seems that the grievance between Shopkeeper Cao and me is not as simple as the disappearance of my sister." Xu Muzhou smiled.
