Chapter 159: Invitation
Bai Qingran and Bianhe also sighed, the rice in this store is well bought today, the white porridge boiled is crystal clear, plump, and the appearance of translucent white is quite beautiful, especially the viscous rice soup is still leaking. The bursts of fragrance are very attractive.Even Bai Qingran, who doesn't have a big appetite, ate several bowls.
After Bai Qingran ate the last mouthful of white porridge in the spoon, took out the embroidered handkerchief in his bosom, and wiped his mouth with graceful movements, Chongjin and Gu Qingping on one side had a round of truce. They each panted and rested .
After that, the three of them had to go back to that village at regular times every day to have a look, maybe it wasn't that village, they just knocked on the door and sat around at will.
After about half a month, the three of them finally discovered a strange pattern.Even the people in that village, not only the house is located in a strange way, but even the accent is a bit crappy, they don't look like people who were born and raised in Xuqu.Moreover, what's even more strange is that no matter when and where they go to any village over there, Gu Qingping and the others can't see the man from that family.No matter what the excuse is, I just can't come out to meet people anyway.
These strange rules pushed the clues of the case to the surface, and completely aroused the curiosity of Bai Qingran and others.
However, before Bai Qingran could sort out her thoughts carefully, a rather surprising news came from the yamen over there.The master of the government wants to see them!
Although Gu Qingping's actions this time are somewhat secretive, the Situ family can definitely find out if they want to. What's more, there is a Situ Mu in their mansion who is staying there, that old thief Situ , how could he worry about not knowing Gu Qingping's whereabouts.
Gu Qingping was stunned for a moment when he received the news, and then quickly realized that after rewarding the boy who sent the message, he happily went upstairs.The boy didn't know anything about the inside story, he just nodded and bowed to receive the reward in front of his master to receive a minister and went back.
Gu Qingping had long been looking forward to meeting this supernatural Master Xu, now that he finally had the opportunity to meet him, how could he be unhappy.He was so happy that even his blood flowed with some restlessness.
But Bai Qingran was not so happy. First, he was worried that after Gu Qingping met Xu Jing, he would never let Xu Jing go according to Gu Qingping's temperament, that is, whether this hatred would deceive Gu Qingping. Their usual calm minds made them come to nothing.
Secondly, regarding the strange village and the woods, he hadn't fully thought out an obvious train of thought, and it was precisely because of that that he had a headache, so going to see Xu Jing rashly would interrupt his train of thought.
The last point is also the most important point. Does Xu Jing know their relationship with Chongjin, and what kind of relationship those strange villages have with him? Is it because they startled the snake? This is Bai Qingran. worry in the heart.Until the agreed date, the day when he was going to see Xu Jingzhi, Bai Qingran's brows still did not relax, he kept thinking about the pros and cons of this matter, and was also annoyed that those things were always like fragments, which could not be solved Together.
Chong Jin was very cheerful, he was already very curious about the little master who appeared out of thin air.This time, the incident of the official salt falling into the river was also a commotion, but there was no reason to be grasped. In addition, this little master seemed to have some unclear relationship with that Gu Qingping. The name of the little master, Gu Qingping's handsome face turned black as if he had eaten shit.This made Chongjin, who always liked to join in the fun, even more eager to try, so he followed Gu Qingping and Bai Qingran to the yamen.
Gu Qingping's inn was not very remote, so he didn't spend half an hour in the county government.It was only half an hour, and the carriage was almost torn apart by those two people who just looked at each other and were not at odds with each other.
I don't know if it's because the atmosphere on the road is too weird and dignified or why, Chongjin is a restless person, in order to enliven the atmosphere, he cheerfully mentioned that Gu Qingping's expression would turn pale when he heard the name of the master It smelled like dog shit, as expected, upon hearing Chongjin's words, Gu Qingping's expression was not very good-looking at all, and he turned cold all of a sudden.A pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes were shining with a dangerous light, staring straight at Chongjin who was still laughing so hard that ice was about to fall out of those eyes.
And those who dare to challenge Gu Qingping are doomed that Chongjin is not a cheap lamp.As expected, she raised her pointed chin, raised her slender eyebrows, and Gu Qingping turned her back with a look full of provocation.
If Bai Qingran hadn't been standing between the two of them along the way, they would have fought with their eyes, and I don't know how many times they have fought.
Finally, the three of them got out of the carriage, and the poor carriage was lucky enough not to fall apart, so Bai Qingran finally breathed a sigh of relief.He was afraid that they would not like it, so he drew his sword and split the palm-sized carriage in half.
This county government office fits Xu Qu's image of being an outstanding man, rich and powerful, and the big characters with gold borders on the black background are very powerful. Just the signboard hanging on the county government office is enough to bluff people.
However, in the eyes of the three people who have been to this Golden Luan Palace for countless times, they naturally don't pay attention to this mere county government.Even Bai Qingran carefully calculated the expenses for the decoration of the door, guessing how much the previous officials had embezzled, and the previous nervousness was gone.
The same is true for Gu Qingping, he learned from Chongjin's Qianer earlier that Xu Jing is Xu Qu's master, and may even be the mastermind of this incident of the official salt falling into the river, his heart really tightened.That kind of anger mixed with the pain that the bones would explode, made him really distressed for a long time.But I don't know why the closer the day when he saw Xu Jing, the more relaxed he became. Even when he received the notice from the boy this morning, he was so faintly excited.
Gu Qingping lowered his head and smiled inexplicably, probably because he also felt that he was in a daze.When Bai Qingran walked past Gu Qingping, he happened to meet Gu Qingping's low-pitched smile. Bai Qingran raised her head in doubt, but she did see Gu Qingping's upturned mouth and joyful expression. .For a moment, Bai Qingran couldn't help feeling a little flustered, Gu Qingping was probably confused by Xu Jing's anger, no matter how he looked at it, his spirit was a little abnormal.
