The night was dark and windy, and the desert wind whistled outside the house. The change of day and night brought a chill to the skin, squeezing in through the cracks in the door and window.

It's quiet and desolate outside, but it's bustling inside, separated by a door, it's like two worlds.

"Where's the wine? Bring it over quickly!"

"It's too slow, don't you want to do business anymore?"

"If I delay you, Master Jun, I may destroy the store for you!"

"Where's the meat? Meat!"

The sounds of shouting and shouting came and went, and several old wooden tables were crowded with people. Jin Xiangyu couldn't bear to hear it, and cursed in a low voice. "Urgent, urged, urged in the middle of the night, you surnamed Su."

Is the meat roasted yet?”

After she greeted Su Qing who was grilling meat in the kitchen, she lowered her head and got together with Heizi. "Fuck, these days, officers and soldiers are more robbers than robbers. It's obvious that you want to gain benefits!"

Heizi is also an old man. He glanced at it and lowered his eyes.

"Eighty percent are the garrison troops at Longmen Pass. If the people don't want to fight with the officials, let's check the situation first!"

"What are you two sneaking around for? Why don't you hurry up and pour wine for the gentlemen?" The leader is Qianhu, with a thick short mustache growing on the outer edge of his cheeks, a leopard head with ringed eyes, thick eyebrows and tiger eyes, and he is dressed in a trousers.

Jiayi, sitting there shouting arrogantly.

In this place, officials are more evil than gangsters. I am afraid that if I go to collect the reward today, I will go on the front foot, but I can’t help but want to collect the money on the back foot. Horses are not fat at night, and grass is not fat. It’s just loess and yellow sand.

Of course, there are people who try to collect money in various ways, and they won't just say it openly. They will always use some tricks to find some excuse for you to send it to you yourself.

Jin Xiangyu cursed secretly in his heart. This was obviously an attempt to take advantage. He rolled his eyes and shouted charmingly to the cook: "Master, the military master asked you to come out for a toast!"

Su Qing happened to be walking out with a few legs of lamb. When he heard this sound, he knew that this woman was looking for trouble again. His eyelids twitched, and he smiled and picked up a bottle of wine on the counter.

"It's easy to say, Master Jun, the wine is here!"

After walking a few steps, he glanced around and saw two small figures tied together and tied to the doorpost in the corner of the room. They were none other than the two Tatar brothers and sisters who were let go by Su Qing during the day.

.

I had just escaped during the day, and now I was caught again. It was really unlucky.

If he fell into the hands of these garrison soldiers, he would probably end up no better than if he fell into the hands of horse thieves.

Regardless of the two children, in this world, money can make the world go round. If a man is thrown into prison, there will always be some people who are willing to spend money to buy a scapegoat. A chopped head is worth some money. As for women,

, no matter where it is sold, there is still some oil and water in it.

Hearing Jin Xiangyu call Su Qing the head of the family, Qianhu's face turned obviously unkind. He just smiled, looked at Su Qing for a few times, took a sip of wine, and sneered: "With your thin skin and tender body, hey,

Do you want to feed that woman? A big old man, he looks neither male nor female. If she hadn’t spoken, I would have thought she was a eunuch, don’t you think so? Haha!”

"Ha ha--"

Everyone burst into laughter.

Su Qing squinted his eyes, an imperceptible chill flashed through his eyes, and poured the wine calmly on his face. He chuckled and said, "General, be careful what you say. If this reaches Duke Cao of Dongchang,

I heard that it would be a shame for all of you sitting here to lose your official positions, be careful not to lose your heads!"

The word "eunuch" is not used casually nowadays. Cao Shaoqing is quite impressive. With his mutilated body, both the black and white people in the world are frightened, and his power is overwhelming. It can be said that one person is inferior to ten thousand people.

Qianhu regretted it as soon as he finished speaking.

Upon being reminded like this by Su Qing, the laughter in the room suddenly stopped, and everyone else also fell silent. Their faces turned pale and pale with fear. Some people shook their hands and dropped their wine bowls on the floor.

"Fart, grandpa, when did you ever say anything bad about the Governor? You kid, don't spread rumors and cause trouble!" Qianhu's expression also changed slightly, but his face changed immediately, and he glanced sideways at Su Qingse and warned Su Qingse.

Su Qing smiled and narrowed her eyes.

"Yes, yes, we heard it wrong. Master Qianhu is well-known in the border areas, and he is a first-class hero!"

He poured the wine and collected the contents from his eyes.

Qianhu sneered: "Huh, I heard that there are bandits and thieves in this generation recently, have you seen them?"

"Look what you said, our store is doing a serious business. We just open the door to welcome customers. They drink wine and eat meat. We don't know the details!" Su Qing was just dealing with it when the fragrant breeze came from behind.

Already being hugged by Jin Xiangyu, the woman had a smile on her face, swaying her slender and strong waist, and leaned forward. "The military master is happy and angry, my man is a man of his own duty, and he doesn't understand the rules. The shop opened not long ago.

, these things now should be treated as a reward to all the military masters, besides!"

With a flick of her hand, a bulging bag of silver fell silently into Qianhu's arms. This guy was so greedy that he didn't even want to share the money with his subordinates.

He glanced hard at his chest before turning his head.

"The boss lady can still talk, haha, come on, have a drink!"

Jin Xiangyu was so shrewd in his moves. When he saw Su Qing glance at the two children in the corner, he immediately said with a smile: "Qianhu, why are you bringing two children with you when you go out to drink? Could it be that your old friend stayed here?"

Qianhu raised his neck and drank the wine in one gulp. The scattered wine juice dripped down his short mustache. He glanced at the cowering brother and sister in the corner and snorted: "Shit, I have slept with countless women in my life, but from now on

I don’t know how to leave the Tatars behind. I met this little guy on the way here. This little guy dared to break into our army formation. I hitched my horse and captured him alive!”

"Obviously you were the one who gathered around me first!"

The female doll in the corner suddenly spoke. Although her accent was stiff, it was still Chinese.

"Crack!"

The military commander nearby slapped her in the face, causing the girl's cheeks to swell and her mouth to bleed.

"When will it be your turn, you little Tartar wolf, to speak?"

Jin Xiangyu remembered the two children Su Qing had mentioned before. It seemed that these were the two most likely. She gritted her teeth and looked at Su Qing with a smile. "Why don't we buy them?

This inn has just opened and there are not enough staff, so it happens to be very busy!”

"Do you want to buy it?"

Gold inlaid with jade is enough to make people obsessed with money, but those thousands of households are even more obsessed with money, their eyes light up.

"One price, five hundred taels of silver!"

Jin Xiangyu's smile froze, and she had already scolded the eighteen generations of this guy's ancestors in her heart. This was like catching a sheep and trying to pluck it out. She took Su Qing's hand and secretly worked hard to hold it tightly.

.

Suddenly, Su Qing spoke calmly.

“Don’t buy it!”

He looked at the dark eyes under the young man's messy hair with a calm expression.

Jin Xiangyu was stunned. She was a little surprised. She had seen countless people. Like Su Qing, he could see from the skin to the heart at a glance. At first, she thought he was a hero who drew his sword to help when he saw an injustice on the road. He didn't expect that he would stand by and watch now.

, I don’t know why, my heart felt empty, and my holding hands loosened.

Twisting her waist like a water snake, the woman leaned against the wine table and said with a charming smile: "Come on, come on, then I won't buy it. I'll drink with the military master!"

Glancing back, she saw that the man she had just called her boss had turned around and gone upstairs without saying a word.

"Hold!"

Seeing this, Jin Xiangyu felt an indescribable anger well up in his heart. He didn't know why. It seemed that he had seen the wrong person, made a mistake, or looked at the corner for other reasons.

She smiled wildly and picked up the wine bowl.

"Haha, done it!"

“The boss lady is a good drinker!”

"good!"

…

Everyone's eyes were shining as they stared at the graceful figure inlaid with gold and jade. These people have lived on the border for a long time and don't know the taste of meat. At this moment, everyone's blood is boiling.

Heizi seems to have seen some clues, but hesitates to speak. It can be seen that Jin Xiangyu is smiling and drinking wine, and he doesn't know what to say.

"Haha, it seems that boy can't feed you enough!"

Qianhu reached out to touch the slender waist inlaid with gold and jade, but although the woman's eyes were blurred with drunkenness and her body swayed, she cleverly avoided it.

He chuckled, his eyes dim as if filled with moisture, and Heizi hurriedly helped him into the house.

In this way, these people reluctantly looked back without finishing their thoughts.

After three rounds of drinking.

In the inn, the tables were full of messes and leftovers were scattered all over the floor. The garrison had gone and dead silence returned.

Jin Xiangyu was lying on the table, looking at the night outside, listening to the whistling wind, and was so lost in thought that she didn't know what to think.

"Ding-deng-deng~"

But suddenly there were hurried footsteps on the stairs.

She cursed angrily: "Who is in a hurry to reincarnate in the middle of the night!"

I saw Heizi rushing downstairs in a hurry.

"Shopkeeper, it's too bad, Brother Su is gone!"

Jin Xianyu's originally bored and lazy body suddenly stopped and he stopped taking the stairs as fast as he could. He just kicked on the wooden pillar and used his strength to climb into Su Qing's house. He saw that the sword inside was also gone.

, and the murderous hat is gone too, and there are three fewer knives left last night.

Her eyes changed, and she hurriedly called downstairs: "Heizi, do you see that there are no horses in the horse pen?"

"One is missing!"

Then I heard yelling and swearing coming from upstairs.
