That Person In That River and Lake

  Chapter 207 Heavy Rain in Sichuan (Ask for a monthly ticket, recommended ticket!)

  Twilight is approaching, the heavy rain continues, and the long peak in the distance is dark blue. Then, the water mist was dizzy and slightly rising, like a thick and light milky white veil with heavy mountains as the bottom, separating the mountains from each other, but the blue peaks, really like a painting with fresh ink and dense density. landscape painting. In the heavy rain, Jingzhi outlines the green mountains and green waters one by one. A few petals are blown by the wind, overlapping high mountains, endless, ups and downs. A carriage slowly drives on the official road and stops in front of an inn on the side of the road. .

An old man got out of the car and opened the wet curtain. First, a dark-skinned child came out, and then a woman with a pretty face and good looks also came out. Open an oil-paper umbrella to cover the woman and the child.

  The light rain fell, and the old man held an umbrella and said, "Madam Gu, it's getting late and it's raining again, so let's rest at the inn for a night and leave tomorrow."

  Madam Gu nodded, held the little stone, and said, "Old Ning, you can make arrangements."

   This group of people came from Chang'an and wanted to go back to the middle of Sichuan. Ningqing and the others rushed for several days and arrived at Tongyang County on the border of central Sichuan.

The umbrella is actually a little small, and can only cover one person, but the few people walked without getting any rain. A thin layer of hood centered on Ning Qing, and the rain within a five-foot radius fell on the hood They were all actively avoided. This is the legendary saying that flies cannot fall, and rain does not add to the body.

Although it looks miraculous, it is actually just a small means of using true energy. Many warriors in the qi realm can actually do it. It is not so easy for warriors in the innate realm to use it. Therefore, it has basically become the symbol of a great practitioner. .

It was actually only in the evening at this moment, but because of the rain, the sky had already begun to darken. It happened that there was a small inn by the side of the road, so Ning Qing simply parked the carriage here, and Xiao Erer came to arrange the carriage as soon as possible. All right.

This kind of inn on the side of the road is usually prepared for passing merchants or some people who run the rivers and lakes. They are generally relatively simple, not very large in scale, but not small either. Usually there are two floors, and the first floor is used Come to eat, and the first floor is used for accommodation. Normally, there will not be many people.

Ning Qing is an old Jianghu, so he is naturally more aware of these situations, but when he entered the inn with Mrs. Gu and Xiao Shitou, he was slightly shocked. This floor was almost full, and there were so many people, he suddenly felt a little strange.

   It was Madam Gu who said softly: "Old Ning, it may be because of the rain. There should be no other inns around here. People on the road have all come in."

Ning Qing nodded. He also heard from Mrs. Gu that the father who followed Gu Qingci also ran across the rivers and lakes for a few days when he was young. It is not surprising that Mrs. Gu has these insights, but he still reminded: "Mrs. Gu, These people basically have a heavy dusty atmosphere, I'm afraid they are all from the Jianghu, so let's go to bed early after eating later!"

  Madam Gu nodded and said: "Well, Mr. Ning, don't worry, I won't cause any trouble."

  Regardless of Ning Qing's status as a great practitioner, as far as age is concerned, Mrs. Gu should also perform the junior ceremony, so she has always respected Ning Qing.

  As soon as Ning Qing and the others came in, a waiter soon came to arrange a seat, and found a seat by the window, which was also one of the only two empty tables left in the inn.

Although Mrs. Gu is middle-aged, she has maintained her temperament, body and appearance very well. She was born dignified and beautiful, otherwise it would be impossible to give birth to Gu Qingci. Blessed with a holy luster, many people couldn't help but take a peek.

When Mrs. Gu walked to the window, at a table next to six people crowded together, a burly man with beards suddenly said, "Brother, you said that the real sign of a girl's birth, if she can sleep For one night, I am willing to give as much money as I want."

In fact, the bearded man didn't mean to tease Mrs. Gu, but he was the kind of person with a very loud voice. Although he deliberately lowered his voice, everyone at the two tables next to him, including Mrs. Gu, could hear him. laughed.

   Mrs. Gu glanced at the man, her face was very ugly, but she didn't speak, but at that moment, her mood became bad.

However, Mrs. Gu can bear it. Xiao Shitou is ignorant and doesn't know what it means, but it doesn't mean that Ning Qing can bear it, or that he can't let Mrs. Gu be wronged, otherwise he doesn't know how to explain to Gu Qing, even Mrs. Gu wouldn't say it, and Ning Qing couldn't pass the test in her heart.

   "Boom"

  Ning Qing slapped the table with a high-pitched voice, which immediately quieted down the noisy inn, and everyone looked over involuntarily.

  Ning Qing raised his hand slowly, pointed at the bearded man, and said flatly, "You, apologize with your own hand!"

Hearing Ning Qing's words, the bearded man immediately became angry, his tall figure swayed, and he was about to pick up the big knife on the table, but at that moment, he was grabbed by a middle-aged man next to him. Standing up hurriedly, with a smile on his face, he said: "Old man, I'm sorry, my brother is a rough man, and he doesn't care about his words. Your lord has a lot, so don't bother with him!"

This middle-aged man can talk, and he is very face-saving to Ning Qing. Others in the inn thought that the matter was over like this, but what everyone didn't expect was that Ning Qing still said coldly: "Slap your mouth to apologize, this It's the second time, I don't want to say it the third time."

Following Ning Qing's words, the inn was completely silent, because these six people were all tall and armed with swords. At first glance, they were the kind of people who had been around the world all year round and were not easy to provoke. Many people thought that Ning Qing was an old man. It's a bit shameless, and something may happen next.

  The waiter on the side was a little anxious to say something, but he didn't dare to say it. He hesitated for a while, and was about to reach out to hold Ning Qing, but just as he moved, he saw a scene that shocked him.

The middle-aged man actually turned around and slapped the bearded face fiercely, and grabbed the bearded beard with one hand, and then hurriedly said: "Madam, my brother is a rough man, how many times If you have offended me, don't take it to heart, the villain apologizes to you on his behalf." Then, the middle-aged man looked at Ning Qing again and said, "Old man, do you see?"

  Ning Qing glanced at it, but did not answer, but looked at Madam Gu and asked, "Madam Gu, what do you think?"

   Madam Gu didn't want to cause trouble, so she said lightly: "That's it, Mr. Ning, let's finish eating early and go to rest, I'm a little tired too."

  Ning Qing just turned around and said lightly: "Hmph, remember to control your mouth in the future, and don't talk if your mouth smells bad!"

   "Yes, yes, yes," the middle-aged man pulled his beard and said hastily: "The old man taught you the lesson, and the younger generation will remember it, so let's take our leave first and don't bother the others!"

Regardless of other people's doubts, the middle-aged man greeted and walked to the empty table on the other side. The bearded man was in a bad mood after being slapped, but the middle-aged man should be the leader of them Man, very majestic, he didn't dare to react too much, but he was dissatisfied: "Brother, why did you hit me just now and apologize to the old man?"

The middle-aged man's complexion changed, and he said in a low voice viciously: "You idiot, shut up, look at those people for yourself, walking through the heavy rain, there is no water on them, only an umbrella can do it Are you there? And, look at that old man, even the soles of his shoes are clean, why do you think I beat you!"

As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, the others looked at Ning Qing subconsciously, and their expressions changed immediately, especially the bearded man's face was even paler. In this heavy rain, he was able to avoid a little water, and even the soles of his shoes were clean and neat. It must be so strong that they can hardly imagine.

For these second- and third-rate warriors, even warriors in the qi state can only look up to, not to mention, the strength of this old man may be stronger now, thinking about it this way, the heart of the bearded man almost suffocated, whispered Said: "Brother, then... that old man... the old man is not a great practitioner, is he?"

  The middle-aged man shook his head and said: "How do I know this, but I'm afraid that woman's status is not simple. It looks like such a master still seems to listen to her."

The bearded man felt like he was alive after a catastrophe, and his back was covered with cold sweat, and he didn't dare to speak again, let alone peek at Mrs. Gu, including other people in the inn, and many people noticed Ning Qing and talked about it After a while, I was a little depressed, and I didn't dare to look after Mrs. Gu, let alone tease her.

  The world is like this. If you have strength, you will be awed and feared, but if you don't have strength, people will push their noses on their faces and go too far.

Just when the meal was halfway through, a few more people walked in from outside the inn, which immediately attracted the attention of many people. The leader of the group was a heroic woman, and behind them were a group of young people in uniform, all of whom were full of energy. , but what is more noticeable is that there is a woman in a palace costume among the pedestrians, with a beautiful appearance, which does not match this wilderness shop very much.

However, these people looked a little tired, or a little embarrassed, and they were always vigilant, looking at everyone wearing a bit of scrutiny. In the end, the heroic woman suddenly fixed her gaze on Mrs. Gu's table , walked over slowly.

  ...

  In the capital city, the battle in Qingshi Lane was still unfolding. A **** from the imperial palace came to Qingshi Lane and informed Gu Qingci to attend the imperial meeting tomorrow morning.

  After the **** left, Gu Qingci returned to the house, Liao Zhiyuan was practicing sword, Chen Wanyu was sitting in the pavilion beside her, when she saw Gu Qingci, she hurriedly stood up and said, "Young Master Gu!"

  Gu Qing resigned and said: "Miss Chen."

  Liao Zhiyuan put away his sword and walked over, picked up a cup of tea and drank it down, and said, "By the way, Brother Gu, do you know that there have been rumors in the world that the Liuli Golden Silk Gu has appeared in Sichuan!"

Liuli Jinsi Gu, the number one Gu insect in the world, is unique, the Gu planter will be reborn, even a person with ordinary talent can transform into a genius, it is the treasure that everyone dreams of, but it has never happened in hundreds of years. appeared.
