At the end of November 23, Zhengding, it was almost winter.

Suzhou, in the south of the Yangtze River, also felt a little cold, and even Chen Qiu had to add an extra thin coat to his coat.

Qingqing also returned to Suzhou City.

She lived in Luoyueqintai for a month. After she was in good health, she urged to return to Suzhou. Yaoqin's persuasion was fruitless. The younger sister just wanted to stay with her senior brother.

Chen Qiu couldn't persuade her, so he had to take her back to the small escort agency.

After Chen Qiu got up that day, he practiced the sword technique in the yard and heard Qingqing girl rushing in from the door.

This girl seemed to have recovered from her energy. She waved a small package in her hand and said to her senior brother with a smile:

"Senior brother, Brother Shangui has sent a letter."

"Yeah?"

Chen Qiu put away his knife, wiped his sweat, and walked into the front hall of the escort agency. He saw Qingqing lying on the chair and having already taken the package apart.

"Brother Shangui's name is so ugly, it's like a dog crawling."

The girl squinted her mouth, waved the letter paper in her hand, and said to Chen Qiu:

"But it's much better than before, and it seems that I'm really practicing hard recently."

"You can't ask too much for him."

Chen Qiu didn't care much.

His handwriting is not much better.

Especially compared with Qingqing's small fliest calligraphy, it is similar to a dog crawling. However, Chen Qiu is better at writing hard-wired characters with a quill pen.

The brother and sister sat on one side, spread the letter from Shan Gui and placed it on the table.

As a result, after reading a few sentences, Chen Qiu couldn't bear to look at the whole typo. The disadvantage of pinyin literacy lies in this. Beginners can easily catch it when they encounter polyphonic characters and near-sound characters.

But the general meaning is understandable.

After they left Taihang, the mountain ghosts lived a leisurely life. The Northern Dynasties lost a team of black-clothed guards, but they did not respond. They did not seem to intend to send more people to Taihang Mountain to seek death.

However, the news of this immortal relic has been spread for some reason. Recently, many people from the Northern Dynasties have frequently entered Taihang.

Of course, they will not be able to say much about their fate.

If you dare to break into the territory of the mountain ghost, you will inevitably have to pay a price.

The mountain ghost also reminded Chen Qiu and Qingqing to take good care of their health. If you have the chance in the future, you might as well visit Taihang Mountain.

"Brother Shangui is lonely."

Qingqing was not in high spirits, so she whispered to her senior brother:

"He actually wants us to see him, right?"

"Maybe."

Chen Qiu reached out and touched Qingqing's head, and he said:

"He is the elves in the mountains and can only live there. If we come to this earth with us, the elves will not be elves."

"Elf, is the dwarf you told me last night? Seven dwarfs and princesses and the like."

Qingqing supported her head with her hands, looked at Chen Qiu, and she asked:

"Did that prince really just kissed him, and the princess woke up?"

"Yes, that's magic."

Chen Qiu picked up the second letter from Shan Gui, and he casually said:

"You can understand it as the best internal strength."

"oh."

Qingqing nodded and she said:

"That prince must have a very strong martial arts skills? After all, the witch queen who can kill the poisonous arts, the queen must have a very high martial arts skills. Maybe she is a master of the martial arts world."

"But how can a master in the martial arts world be a queen? Isn't the king afraid? Or is the king also a master in the martial arts world?"

"Uh, I can't answer you."

Chen Qiu was a little confused by Qingqing's endless strange problems, so he could only fool him.

He glanced at the letter paper, handed the letter to Qingqing, then got up and took out a cardboard from the drawer, which had many chaotic squares on it, which were deliberately carved.

"Senior brother, what's going on with this letter?"

Qingqing grabbed the letter and said to Chen Qiu with a confused face:

"This word can't be read at all, just like Brother Shangui wrote it casually."

"Use this!"

Chen Qiu put the cardboard in his hand on the letter, changed direction, and showed it to Qingqing. He pointed at the handwriting exposed in the square engraved by the cardboard and said to Qingqing:

"You excerpt these words and then again."

"oh."

Qingqing girl responded, then took the letter paper and cardboard to the study in the front hall. Chen Qiu stayed behind the counter in the front hall of the escort agency, and was bored to read a book "popularity" sold by Qingqing.

They are all stories of three heroes and five righteousness, half-written and half-white, Qingqing was very excited to watch, but Chen Qiu felt a little boring and rigid.

It's all a routine.

There is no online articles that kill gods and destroy Buddhas in their previous lives, and they are full of imagination, and they look comfortable.

This era is indeed lacking in entertainment, and Qingqing does not allow Chen Qiu to go to the brothel fireworks to have fun. After practicing martial arts every night, the brother and sister sat in the yard to tell stories, which became Chen Qiu's only nightlife.

In the past two months, he has told all the stories in his mind and even started to tell fairy tales.

Qingqing was very happy and excited when she heard it.

But for Chen Qiu, it was a torture.

Life in Suzhou City is very comfortable, but Chen Qiu began to miss the days in Taihang Mountains. This slow-paced life is really boring.

He felt like he was about to rust.

Chen Qiubai was bored and lying on the counter, thinking about whether to tell Qingqing a story like Douqi Sword Immortal. While waiting for Qingqing to translate the secret letter, a guest came to her door.

"Yeah, isn't this the uncle of the Liu family?"

Chen Qiu raised his head and saw Old Man Liu, who runs a grocery store on the same street, walked into the gate with a ugly expression. He stood up to greet him, poured another cup of coarse tea, and asked Old Man Liu to sit down.

The shops on this street are all merchants from Luoyue Shangfang. They share the same spirit and have a harmonious relationship.

The small escort agency that is unruly does not take on external work on weekdays. It does business with acquaintances, and helps these neighboring merchants deliver goods or letters from home. There are few long-distance escorts.

Seeing that Old Man Liu came to the escort agency today, Chen Qiu knew that after more than two months of idleness, he finally had work to do.

Old Man Liu sat on the chair with a gloomy face, drinking tea, and not talking. Chen Qiu asked on his own initiative:

"Uncle Liu, are you worried about anything? Why not tell me."

The old man glanced at Chen Qiu, shook his head again, and after a while, he hesitated:

"Xiao Qiuer."

"Just call me Chen Qiu, Uncle Liu."

Chen Qiu said, Xiao Qiuer's nickname is probably the saying that others call her close to others, but he really has no blessing to save him.

"Okay, Chen Qiu."

The old man lamented, and he said:

"Do you know this about this shop when I bought goods from outside the city a few days ago and was robbed by a group of thieves?"

"Yeah, I heard about it."

Chen Qiu took a sip of tea, and he probably knew the old man's purpose.

Although the Liu family grocery store is a grocery store, the shop is not small and is considered a large-sized brand in this shop area.

His family specializes in providing various groceries for several restaurants in the city, and the business is booming.

When the business is good, the supply of raw materials must be kept up. Therefore, there is a special partner in Old Man Liu’s shop to buy near Suzhou City, and his eldest son is also in charge of this matter.

Nothing happened in the past, but a few days ago, a batch of goods purchased from outside the city that the eldest son of the Liu family escorted were robbed on his return trip.

The thief robbed the goods and planned to rob people and kidnap the tickets.

But the eldest son of the Liu family was smart and ran away while the chaos was running.

This matter is a big news on this street. Qingqing girl heard about it immediately and ran back to tell her a lot to her senior brother, which was quite like a Hong Kong reporter.

"Liu is nothing wrong, right?"

Chen Qiu asked.

Old Man Liu sighed again and said:

"My son is fine, he is just a little scratched and was shocked. He has been resting these days.

As for the goods, if you lose them, it's just a loss of money. But what makes me embarrassed is the robbed guys. Their family has been making trouble in my shop these days and want me to pay for the redeem.”

The old man was full of worries and said to Chen Qiu with a sad voice:

"I invited the Beggars' Sect who are dedicated to the affairs of the city to talk to the group of thieves. If I redeem a few taels of silver for one person, I will give it. After all, they are all familiar friends, but the group of thieves who kill thousands of swords..."

"They ask for too much?"

Chen Qiu put down the teacup and said:

"Or I still collected the money and refused to release anyone?"

“Both are!”

The old man said to Chen Qiu indignantly:

"Xiao Qiuer, come and judge. For the first time, I promised to pay ten taels per person. I gave the money that night, but they refused to let anyone go. The lion even spoke up and mentioned one hundred taels per person!

I am not reluctant to give up the money, but I am afraid that the thief will increase the price again. What should I do?"

"Tsk tsk, this group of thieves have a big appetite."

Chen Qiu narrowed his eyes and said:

"I don't understand the rules of the world, it seems that I am a group of new thieves."

"Yes."

The old man said:

"I went to the Yi Family Escort Agency to ask, and the Yi Ke escort leader told me the same thing. I asked them to help save people, but the Yi Family Escort Agency is a large brand in Suzhou City, and the price for this is not low."

"I understand."

Chen Qiu nodded, he knew what Old Man Liu meant.

He said to Old Man Liu:

"Uncle Liu, please wait. I'll go out of the city to check it out. If it's convenient, I'll leave in the past few days. As for the price, you can give as much as my master needs when he is here."

"Xiao Qiuer!"

Chen Qiu got up, but was stopped by Old Man Liu. He said to Chen Qiu with a worried look on his face:

"The neighbors are relieved to your master's martial arts skills, but you are young... I don't think of you underestimate you, but I'm just afraid that if you go alone, you will be killed by that group of thieves, what's going on?"

"Uncle Liu doesn't have to worry."

Chen Qiu was not angry either.

He comforted:

"I want to go to the scene to see it first and find out. If the thief is powerful, I will not dare to take on your job. I am also cherishing my life. There is also a girl who needs to take care of me.

But if the thief is weak, my uncle will wait at home and see me Chen Qiu's way."

Old Man Liu saw that Chen Qiu was full of confidence, so he was not convenient to persuade him.

He left the escort agency with concern, wondering if he had done a bad job.

The neighbors knew about Lao Lutou's unfortunate death from illness on the outside, leaving only two young men, Xiao Qiuer and Qingqing, who were left to support the escort agency.

If Xiao Qiuer is not good at learning skills and something happens, Old Liu will probably be scolded and punished by the business manager.

After Old Man Liu left, Qingqing also walked out of the study. She glanced outside the door and looked at her senior brother who looked as usual. She sneaked over and said to her senior brother:

"Senior brother, are you going to save someone?"

"Yes, I'll set out in the afternoon."

"Take me with you."

Qingqing shook her head and said to Chen Qiu:

"Although I can't help you fight, I can still do this by catching up on my ideas."

"no."

Chen Qiu glanced at Qingqing and said:

"If I take you to take this risk, if Yaoqin finds out, she will drive me out of Suzhou. You can wait in this escort agency."

He looked at Qingqing's pouting look, he thought for a while and said:

"You have something to do, so you can write the reply letter to Shan Gui. Did you translate that secret letter?"

"Yeah, it's copied."

Qingqing handed the letter paper to Chen Qiu, who glanced at it and frowned, and he said:

"Is this a noun for martial arts?"

"yes!"

Qingqing nodded and said to Chen Qiu:

"And they are all very obscure words. Look at this, senior brother, this word represents a fatal point in the chest and abdomen of a person. Ordinary exercises dare not make the true qi rush into such acupuncture points.

Brother Shangui must practice rare and high-quality exercises before he can ask about the meaning of this word."

"Um."

Chen Qiu nodded, Qingqing analyzed it well.

He estimated that after they left, Shan Gui might have found the internal power used in the ruins of Taihang's immortal family.

From that sword technique, we can see that this set of internal skills must be of top quality.

Even the best martial arts.

To be honest, Chen Qiu felt a little jealous in his heart, and he envied the great adventure of the mountain ghost, but he glanced at the sword jade in his hand, and the little jealousy was quickly thrown out of the sky.

This immortal sword jade is in hand. As long as Chen Qiu does not die tragically in the middle of the journey, he will one day reach the peak of the martial arts world.

There is no need to envy others.

He has his own way to go in autumn.

"Look, Shan Gui must have many doubts when he begins to learn internal skills."

Chen Qiu touched Qingqing's head and said to her in a tempting manner:

"He is in Taihang Mountains and cannot find anyone to give advice, so you can only help him. If you are the person trusted by the mountain ghost, you cannot let him down. If you have a slight deviation in your practice, it will be a disaster.

You have been able to answer these questions for the mountain ghost these days. You must be accurate enough to help him practice. Girl, do you understand?"

Qingqing raised her head and looked at her senior brother's serious gaze.

She was a little worried for a moment, but after thinking about it, she finally nodded vigorously.

"good!"

Chen Qiu patted Qingqing on the shoulder and said:

"You can wait at the escort agency with peace of mind, and wait for your senior brother to return to victory."

Chen Qiu left the city in the afternoon and returned to the escort agency the next evening. He asked Qingqing to invite Old Man Liu, and the two of them discussed in the front hall.

"Uncle Liu, I found the hiding place of the thieves."

Chen Qiu, who was exhausted, said to Old Man Liu:

"Just in the barren mountains more than ten outside the city, I didn't care about hiding, and even robbed women and drank and had fun all day long. I was just a group of inexperienced little thieves.

They locked your guy in a cave without causing any harm. I am seventy-seven sure of this trip to save people.

It’s just that Uncle Liu needs to pat some capable people for me. When I attack and kill the thief, I need someone to save those guys.”

"OK."

Old Man Liu thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth and nodded. In the past few days, he had been troubled by the crying family members and affected his business. He hoped that this matter would be resolved quickly.

"There is another thing, Uncle Liu, you have to give me a clear idea."

Chen Qiu took a sip of tea, he lowered his voice, looked around and whispered to Old Man Liu:

"If someone who saves people unfortunately dies..."

"Xiao Qiuer, just let it go."

Old Man Liu was also able to make a decision, and he said to Chen Qiu:

"If someone is unfortunately in trouble, I will give him the one hundred taels of silver to serve as funeral silver, and also care about his family's livelihood. Of course, it is best not to have any casualties.

If everything goes well, you, Uncle Liu, and I will naturally have benefits for you."

Chen Qiu nodded.

He looked at the night outside the window and said to Old Man Liu:

"It's not too late, Uncle Liu, please go back and prepare. I will set off tomorrow morning. At the latest to the morning after tomorrow, this matter will be over."
