My lady, something is wrong

Chapter 117

this day.

The Song family was immersed in endless grief.

Overnight, both sons and daughters died tragically, with no bones left and one body destroyed.

Is there anything worse than this?

Other families in Mocheng, as well as various people who had good friends with the Song family, all rushed to the Song family to express their condolences.

Naturally, the Qin family also left.

No matter what hatred there is between the two families secretly, this kind of etiquette on the surface still needs to be talked about.

After all, Mocheng is only so big, you can't see it when you look up.

Meng Jinnan, the lord of Mocheng, was furious when he heard the news, and immediately urged the yamen to do their best to investigate.

The leaders of various forces who mourned at the Song family were filled with righteous indignation and said they would help find the murderer.

But after only one day, no one mentioned the Song family anymore.

Because news came from the front line that the eldest princess will come to Mocheng in a few days.

It's almost the end of the year.

The eldest princess's army was stationed within the border line tens of kilometers outside the city of Mocheng, unable to return to Kyoto or back to Huoyue Kingdom to celebrate the New Year, so she chose to come to Mocheng to celebrate the New Year.

One is that Meng Jinnan, the lord of Mocheng, tried his best to invite him; the other is that the eldest princess has been to Mocheng three times, and she is quite kind to this place.

It happened that nothing happened on the front line, so I came here early.

When Meng Jinnan got the news, he immediately organized people to clean the whole city. At the same time, he strengthened his guard and patrolled the people every day.

The government began to take people to register household registration personnel from door to door.

All outsiders, as well as those without identity, were expelled from the inner city, regardless of men, women, or children.

The merchants on the street also hung colorful decorations.

The entire Mo city, whether it is the government or the common people, is full of expectations for the arrival of the eldest princess.

Especially those boys and girls, they are even more excited.

Some talented scholars and talented women even racked their brains to write poems of praise.

The current prestige of the eldest princess is not obtained because she is the only sister of the little emperor, but because she has fought with her own strength in battle after battle.

In this battle against the invasion of foreign enemies at the border, the eldest princess once again demonstrated her extraordinary military talent to the whole Dayan.

It can be said that the reason why Mocheng has been able to stabilize for so many years is due to her great contribution.

So, now that the Eldest Princess is coming, who wouldn't be excited?

Ok.

Some people are not excited.

After Luo Qingzhou practiced at the bottom of the lake for two days, he began to prepare for the first mission tomorrow.

In the afternoon, he left the house.

First, I went to other warrior shops for a while, compared the prices, bought some emergency medicines, gauze, etc., and then went to Jubao Pavilion.

But at this time, he didn't even have a single gold coin on him.

And there is not much silver left.

He originally wanted to buy a dagger as a spare, but after asking the price, he had no choice but to give up.

For the rest of the money, he bought a map of the Blackwood Forest.

In the past few nights, he has been fascinated, and has been observing the road outside Mo City, but only the direction of the Black Wood Forest can't be seen clearly.

One is that it is very large, with lofty mountains and endless mountains.

The second is that in the sight of the soul, there is a thick layer of black fog floating in the sky there, and nothing can be seen clearly.

After buying the map, he was so empty that he couldn't even afford a bunch of candied haws.

There is also a demon pill in the storage bag.

But until the critical moment, he can't use it for the time being.

I don't know if the potion needed for muscle training is enough, and I may have to buy it at that time, and that is the time to use the demon pill.

After chatting with the waiter for a while, he found that it is convenient to have a dagger.

In addition to unraveling the monsters to get the demon pills, you can also deal with some poisonous strange creatures, and some monsters are soft all over. Not only the defense is amazing, but it can also remove the strength of the warrior. At this time, the dagger will come in handy .

Usually such monsters are most afraid of sharp blades.

Of course, it is a sharp blade dedicated to warriors.

Luo Qingzhou looked through the books introducing various monsters in the Blackwood Forest for a while, and found that the dagger was indeed very important, and it could save life at critical moments.

After leaving Jubao Pavilion, he hesitated for a while, then returned, took out the demon pill, and asked the waiter how much he could sell it for.

The waiter in the shop took the demon pill, observed it carefully for a while, and said: "Guest officer, this is the lowest grade demon pill, and the quality is very poor. You can look at the light, and there is a crack inside. If you want to If you sell it, our store will give you up to two hundred gold coins."

"Two hundred gold coins?"

Luo Qingzhou thought for a while, the cheapest warrior dagger needed 280 gold coins, even if he sold the demon pill, it would not be enough to buy the dagger.

"Okay, I'll think about it again."

Luo Qingzhou decided to go to other shops to ask.

After taking the demon pill, he went out and went to other shops selling warrior supplies to inquire.

The results are about the same price.

One shop even lowered the price to 150 gold coins.

He thought about it for a while, and decided to go back and try to see if he could find someone to borrow some money.

After all, it is a matter related to one's own life, so it cannot be sloppy.

Who can I borrow from?

The first candidate is naturally Bailing.

He has no scruples about that girl Bai Ling now, and he has no embarrassment in borrowing money.

Anyway, it's not like he didn't pay it back.

However, I have never seen her go out alone, nor have I seen her work, so I don't know if she has so much money there.

After selling the demon pill, there are still eighty gold coins short.

If it's 80 taels of silver, then the girl must have it, but gold coins...

Then it's impossible to say.

If it really doesn't work, he can only go to Miss Qin Er with the cheek.

Miss Qin Er should have money, or she has a way to get money, and she will keep it secret for him.

After all, the two shared a secret that night.

Thinking about something in his heart, he quickly returned to the Qin Mansion through the back door.

As soon as he entered the mansion, he took off his mask.

When he came to the Ling Chan Moon Palace, he still hesitated.

To be honest, people in this era are still very thin-skinned, especially when it comes to things like asking women to borrow money.

But thinking of the importance of the dagger, he still went up and knocked on the door.

After a while, the courtyard door opened with a "squeak".

"Miss Bailing, I..."

Luo Qingzhou was afraid that he would hesitate again, so he was about to speak out as soon as the door opened, but just after he said a few words, he suddenly realized that it was not Bai Ling who opened the door, but... Xia Chan.

A girl in a light green dress stood in the door, opened the door, held the sword in both arms, and looked at him coldly.

Luo Qingzhou had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Miss Xia Chan, let me find Miss Bailing, is she there?"

Xia Chan looked at him coldly, without answering or moving.

Luo Qingzhou wanted to go in, but seeing her blocked, he didn't dare to forcefully pass by, so he had to say again: "I have something to ask Miss Bailing, can Miss Xia Chan call her for me?"

Xia Chan finally spoke, and said coldly, "Say."

Luo Qingzhou: "..."

Are you talking about borrowing money?

That can't be said to you.

It's okay to be ashamed in front of Bailing, but how can I be ashamed in front of you again.

Luo Qingzhou had no choice but to cup his hands and said: "If Miss Bailing is not here, then forget it, but it's really not a big deal, then you are busy, I will take my leave."

When you're done, turn around and leave.

It seems that I can only go to Miss Er to borrow it.

Ok?
A murderous aura suddenly came from behind?
He took a step and turned to look.

There was nothing behind, the door was empty, and the cold girl holding the sword had disappeared.

He muttered something, without thinking about it, turned around, and was about to continue walking forward, but suddenly found a figure in front of him, almost bumping into the bulging...

look up...

Wearing a light green dress, with a pretty face and a cold face, holding a sword in his arms, he was looking at him coldly.

Luo Qingzhou looked at the icy girl who silently appeared in front of him like a ghost, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help twitching.

"that……"

Ok.

Just say it.

Anyway, even if he only told Bailing, Bailing might tell this one too.

He Fang sighed, his cheeks were slightly hot and he said: "I am looking for Miss Bailing, but I am actually looking for her...to borrow some money. I want to buy some expensive books and..."

Before he finished speaking, the girl in front of him suddenly left quickly and entered the yard.

Did you go in and call Bailing?

Luo Qingzhou looked at the door and stood there waiting.

After a while.

Bai Ling didn't come out, but she came out with a cold face.

Holding a bulging package in her hand, she walked up to him and handed it to him.

Luo Qingzhou froze for a moment, took it in his hand, untied the rope at the mouth of the bag, and looked inside.

Inside was actually a small bag full of...broken silver.

It's all broken.

Weighed the weight, it was about... more than 30 taels.

Luo Qingzhou: "..."

Seeing the expression on his face, the girl frowned slightly, then lowered her head, took out the last piece of silver from her pocket, put it gently into the small bag in his hand, and turned her face away , looked away and said: "Enough?"

Luo Qingzhou was silent for a while, looked down at the small piece of silver that she put in the last in the bag, was startled, then raised her head and said: "Well, that's enough, thank you Miss Xia Chan. I will earn some money in a few days It's..."

Before she finished speaking, the girl turned and left.

"Squeak..."

The courtyard door closes.

Luo Qingzhou stood there in a daze for a while, then Fang put away the money and walked towards Second Miss Qin's residence.

Miss Xia Chan, who used to be cold, is actually warm when she is.

but……

Judging from the situation just now, Bai Ling must have no hope.

Then I can only go to Miss Qin Er.

After entering the door, Pearl led him to the study.

After Qin Weimo woke up from her lunch break, she read a book in the study.

The afternoon sun could not reach the house, and there was still some wind outside, so the windows were tightly closed.

There is a stove in the house, and the heat is overwhelming.

"Miss, my uncle is here."

Qiu'er stood by the door of the study, and when she saw Luo Qingzhou, she immediately reported to the girl in the study.

Qin Weimo was a little surprised, put down the book, and stood up.

Luo Qingzhou took off his shoes, stepped on the soft blanket and entered the house.

There was the sound of a door closing behind him.

"Brother-in-law..."

Just as Miss Qin Er was about to speak, Luo Qingzhou went straight to the point and said, "Miss Er, I'm here to ask you to borrow money, do you have any here?"

The girl was slightly startled, but didn't react for a moment.

After a few breaths, Fang realized, nodded and said, "Yes, how much does brother-in-law want?"

A look of embarrassment appeared on Luo Qingzhou's face, and he whispered: "80 gold coins..."

"Pearl."

The girl immediately called out to the door.

The door opens.

Zhu'er responded at the door: "Miss."

Qin Weimo said softly: "Go to the accountant, withdraw 200 gold coins, and write my name. If the accountant refuses, you can go to Manager Zhou and tell me that I said it. If my father is here, you can also find him. Just say I want to use it, don't say anything else."

Pearl agreed, and left in a hurry.

A warm current surged through Luo Qingzhou's heart, and he said softly, "Thank you, Second Miss, but 200 gold coins are too much, I only need 80 gold coins."

Qin Weimo looked at him softly and said: "Brother-in-law, if you want to practice martial arts, 80 coins are not enough... Every month from now on, Weimo will help brother-in-law withdraw 200, brother-in-law can use it, don't waste it."

Luo Qingzhou was silent for a while, and said: "The Qin family...how can there be so much money?"

Qin Weimo smiled slightly, and said: "Father will worry about these things, brother-in-law doesn't need to worry about it, brother-in-law only needs to study at ease and practice martial arts secretly."

Luo Qingzhou: "..."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

The study fell silent.

Luo Qingzhou asked: "What book was Second Miss reading just now?"

Qin Weimo picked up the book from the table, opened the cover and said, "For the imperial examination."

Luo Qingzhou was taken aback for a moment: "What is Second Miss doing with this book? Girls are not allowed to take the exam."

There was a smile in Qin Weimo's eyes, and she said softly: "Brother-in-law studies hard. After the new year is over, Weimo will come up with questions to test brother-in-law. If brother-in-law answers well, Weimo will be rewarded; if he fails to answer Okay, Weimo will punish brother-in-law to tell Weimo stories every day, okay?"

Luo Qingzhou fell silent, and after a while, Fang took the book from her hand, put it gently on the table, then looked at her and said, "Second Miss, you are not in good health, so don't worry about these things. Yes. Regarding the exam, I will work hard on my own, and I don’t need help from others.”

Qin Weimo lowered his head slightly, and said softly: "But, brother-in-law, Weimo is not someone else..."

Luo Qingzhou was not talking.

Not long after, Zhu'er came back with a small bag, panting and said: "Miss, the gold coin is so heavy..."

Luo Qingzhou looked at the golden coins inside, and suddenly felt a little touched in his heart.

Every gold coin in it is the hard work of the Qin family.

The girl gave it to him without any hesitation, and said that she would use it for him to practice martial arts every month in the future.

Can he not be moved?

Before today, he always thought that he practiced hard for him and Xiaodie.

But now...he wants to protect more people!

"Thank you, Miss."

He didn't stay any longer, took the gold coins, and left.

At the moment of borrowing money, no amount of thanks is useless, so save your energy and performance, and work hard to repay the money and repay it.

Luo Qingzhou took the money, put it in the storage bag at the door, and then walked straight to the back door of the Qin residence.

When he came to the back door, he was about to take out the mask when he suddenly felt something was wrong. He turned his head to look, and there was a person not far behind him.

As soon as he stopped, the other party also stopped.

Xia Chan held the sword, turned her body sideways, and looked away, as if she had been standing there the whole time, not following him.

Luo Qingzhou froze for a moment, walked over and said, "Miss Xia Chan, do you have anything else to do?"

Xia Chan looked away with a cold face.

After a long time, she spoke coldly and asked, "Where are you going?"

Luo Qingzhou gave her a strange look and said, "Go out and buy something."

Then suddenly remembered something, said: "I'll buy you candied haws later, how many bunches do you want?"

Xia Chan was silent for a moment, then turned her head to look at him, her eyes were cold, her pronunciation was jerky, and her sentences stuttered: "Bailing said, you, borrow money... to go to the brothel, to find... the naked oiran, right?"

Luo Qingzhou: "..."

It was the first time he heard this girl Xia Chan say so many words, and felt a kind of inexplicable novelty.

"Yes."

Luo Qingzhou decided to be bold and tease her: "Your lady doesn't share the same bed with me, what's wrong with me going to the oiran? All the scholars outside have been to the brothel, but I haven't been to it. I want to see it today. Look, can't you?"

A familiar chill hit.

The girl clenched the sword in her hand, and the other small hand held the hilt of the sword.

Seeing this, Luo Qingzhou quickly said: "You're just kidding, didn't I tell you just now? I borrowed money to buy books, not to go to brothels to find naked oirans."

The girl still held the hilt of the sword, and looked at him with cold eyes.

Luo Qingzhou had no choice but to raise his hand and said: "I swear, if I say... if I go to find the naked oiran, I will be struck by thunder!"

The girl looked at him a few more times, and then slowly let go of the hilt.

Luo Qingzhou secretly breathed a sigh of relief, did not dare to joke anymore, and said: "Well, Miss Xia Chan, you are busy, I will go out first."

After walking a few steps, she turned her head to look, and she followed up again.

Luo Qingzhou: "???"

Seeing him stop, the girl also stopped and looked away.

Luo Qingzhou walked out the back door, walked a few steps, and looked back at the door.

She also followed and stopped at the door, still looking away.

Luo Qingzhou: "..."

The two stopped and walked, chatting in the alley for a while.

Seeing that it was getting late, Luo Qingzhou ignored her, walked quickly across the street, and entered another alley.

Then he started running through all the alleys.

When he was about to reach Jubao Pavilion, he immediately took out the mask and put it on his face, walked out of the alley, looked around, and then entered the shop.

Soon, he bought a dagger and came out.

On the way back, the sun had already set.

He watched carefully all the way, but did not see the cold girl.

He must have lost track of him, and then went back alone.

Luo Qingzhou entered the mansion through the back door and took off the mask on his face.

When he passed the "Spiritual Cicada Moon Palace", he hesitated and walked in.

Bai Ling was sitting in the yard in a daze, surprised to see him come so early.

Luo Qingzhou glanced left and right, and asked in a low voice: "Miss Xia Chan is back?"

Bai Ling was stunned for a moment, and then his face changed slightly: "Isn't my uncle with Chanchan? Didn't Chanchan go shopping with my uncle just now?"

Luo Qingzhou frowned, told what happened just now, and said, "I thought she came back by herself."

Bai Ling hurriedly stood up from the stone bench, and said anxiously: "It's over, my lord, it's over, Chanchan doesn't know the way, I went to you back then... My lord, hurry to find Chanchan! She is afraid of being alone, especially in the dark. In fact, she was very timid...I...I can't leave, I still have to look at Miss, you..."

Before she could finish speaking, Luo Qingzhou immediately turned around and left the courtyard, and ran towards the back door.

They just gave him all the silver, and even gave him the last piece of silver on his body... just because he was afraid that he would go to the brothel, or wanted to go shopping with him, but he...

What a thing he is!
Outside the mansion, night has shrouded the entire street.

He ran fast.

"Boom!"

At this moment, a thunder suddenly sounded in the sky.

He looked up, and the sky that was still clear in the evening was now covered with dark clouds.

It is going to rain.

　Afraid of being scolded, let me tell you in advance, tonight is an opportunity...
