Alternative Jianghu Adventures

This problem did not bother the three of them for too long, because just after Xia Yun said this, the crowd around him scattered to both sides of the street, and the plight of the three of them was quickly swallowed up by the crowd.

"What's going on?" Lan Sang asked the idle man beside him with a smile on his face.

"It's the elephant team! The little girl is from another place!" The idle man raised his voice, calmly looked at the huge monster approaching from a distance, and gestured with his withered fingers, "It's just the day to pay for food! In the early morning, gentlemen sent people to collect them from door to door, and now they are most likely to be transported to the pier to the imperial court in the north!"

Elephant is a unique animal in Lixi. When paying tribute every ten years, Lixi's local snakes will always drive three or two elephants to Beijing to pay tribute. Every time, the scene is empty for thousands of people!

Xia Yun was lucky enough to bring Yue'er to see it when he was a child, but the elephants who paid tribute in the capital were always wearing fancy headgear, and the accompanying singers and dancers always separated the onlookers from the common people.This was the first time that Xia Yun watched the aboriginal elephants travel so closely.

I saw five huge elephants strolling past with several large bags of rice on their backs, and a young man in a white jacket sat on the back of each elephant.These elephants were obviously trained, even if the man didn't have a mace to train the elephants in his hand, they walked straight forward in a row without exceeding the rules.

Xia Yun couldn't help showing the surprise of Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden.

"Why are you transporting to the north?" Lan Sang on the other side grasped the key point of this passage without thinking. to go further.

"You...don't know?" The idle man stared at the three of them suspiciously, "Could it be possible that you didn't escape from the north?"

"Cough cough," Xia Yun, who came back to his senses, just heard the idle man's question, coughed dryly a few times, and waved his hands, "No, I'm not, I didn't..."

"We are originally from the south, but we met bandits in the Linyun Mountains and managed to escape, but unexpectedly it has been more than a month. Judging from your tone, what happened during this period of time?"

Lan Sang lied without changing his expression, his lifelike expression rivaled that of Qiao Anyue.

Qiao Anyue nodded seriously from the side, her sincere eyes did not seem to be fake, which gave Lan Sang's lie several times more credibility.

"Hey, this troubled world...is hard for you little girls." The idle man sighed, with a worried expression on his face, "It was almost a month ago that Chieftain Long and General Lantian of Feilongzhai died under the slogan of Lord Qing. They raised troops from the ground, and within ten days they came to the city of Qingzhou.

The southern army said it was "Jing Nan", and the northern army said it was "suppressing bandits". At first, everyone thought that the Lord of Qingzhou City would have to resist for a while, but all the soldiers sent were instigated by General Lantian.

I heard that it was General Lantian who was holding the Tiger Talisman... You said it was a strange coincidence, why did the imperial court Tiger Talisman fall into the hands of this reckless General!That Qiuba, aren't they all scumbags who recognize characters but don't recognize people? They immediately fell to pieces. Within a few days, the Southern Army captured Qingzhou City and used it as a stronghold to completely confront the Northern Army. !

Look at this, when the big bosses in Lixi heard a battle, they were so unhappy that they broke down!The Southern Army's foundation in Qingzhou City is not stable, and there are so many soldiers and horses, how many stutters can there be in that little place?You can't rely on the grain and grass growing on the ground in Lixi!With such a large amount of war fortune, how can the Yu Chu Liusan here not seize it?

Isn't it?The harvested food and grass are going to go to Qingzhou City along the waterway, tsk tsk tsk, originally this unintentional area is the most mixed with fish and dragons... This battle has been completely fought, and it has become the most stable rear area, tell me , Fate this thing, really can't tell! "

The idle man also took advantage of the trend to complain, and when he saw the herd of elephants leaving, he waved his hands to pick up the load full of seafood on the ground—it seemed that he was a porter helping the fishermen to transport things—and said in a bittersweet way: " The girls have come to the right place, even if you can’t get enough to eat in this land, it’s still half a copper coin better than dying, right?”, and they walked away leisurely.

And Xia Yunlansang, who had just digested the information, looked at each other, and they both saw a trace of seriousness in each other's expressions.

... As for Qiao Anyue, he was indifferent.

The rivers and lakes and the imperial court have always affected the whole body.The signs of the Civil War have been exposed for so many years, and it suddenly broke out in the past few days. Regardless of the court, the world is definitely not peaceful.

And they have been trapped in the Linyun Mountains for so long, and their positions in the sects they belong to are not low. Suddenly losing touch with reality is tantamount to breaking their arms.

The linker of Lixi's hidden pile must be found as soon as possible!

"Hey, you guys, give up your troubles and start business! Beg for food and move it to another place!" A dissatisfied voice suddenly came from their feet, interrupting their thoughts.

Looking along the trend, I saw an uncle in white clothes and white trousers sitting cross-legged on a straw mat with a white cloth covering his head. A bamboo basket with a narrow top and a wide bottom was placed in front of him. He was holding a bamboo flute in his dark hands. The black and white eyes looked at the three of them with disgust.

Staring at the three of them at the same time as he was, there was also the black cobra with its head protruding slightly from the bamboo basket.

It appears to be a street performer.

"Hey, Er Gouzi! What are you doing? Come back to me!" Lan Sang didn't pay attention, and Er Gouzi in her arms ran towards the cobra. Before she could recover, Er Gouzi stretched out a It started to pull the bamboo basket with only one paw, as if it would not stop until the snake was pulled out of it.

"Cats eat snakes." Qiao Anyue watched coldly, and suddenly reminded her.

As soon as her voice fell, Er Gouzi jumped up, her paws had already stepped on the snake's head, and she pulled the snake out of the bamboo basket in a daze. He picked it up behind him.

Xia Yun growled pretending to be threatening, and the two small tiger teeth were exposed arrogantly. She pinched the snake's seven inches with one hand to free it from Er Gouzi's claws, and lifted Er Gouzi up to her eyes with the other hand. Looking straight up, with big eyes, "Isn't that courageous? Dare to run around in front of my young master! Hurry up and apologize to others!"

Lansang sighed.

As for this certain cat who didn't listen to her master at all but succumbed to the oppression of "similar" Xia Yun and the grilled fish of "cook" Qiao Anyue, she wished she could throw it to the couple in front of her and leave.

Er Gouzi reluctantly barked at the uncle.

"Speak up!" Xia Yun glared.

"Meow!" Er Gouzi drooped his ears immediately.

"Is this your cat?" The uncle carefully took the cobra handed over by Xia Yun, and frowned when he saw the wound accidentally opened by the cat's claw, "My snake is a rare thing. Offering it like a baby, I wish I could give it all the delicious food, and I don’t even want to beat it, and now I have such a long wound... Tell me, how to solve it?"

Xia Yun and Lan Sang looked at each other, "...how much?"

The uncle stretched out five fingers.

"Five coins, easy to talk about!" Xia Yun nodded as if pecking at rice.

"What five cents? 50 taels!"

"50 taels is too expensive for you! Isn't this a scam?" Xia Yun suddenly yelled.

"That's right, how can you do business like this, it must be possible." Lan Sang also shook his head repeatedly holding Er Gouzi.

"No, it must be 50 taels." The uncle was very stubborn, "You have hurt my little ancestor, and he will not be able to perform until the injury is healed. 50 taels, it can't be lower."

Qiao Anyue saw the lively bargaining between the three, and interrupted abruptly, "Let's not talk about 50 taels, even if it's five cents, we don't have it."

His attitude was still outrageously sincere—he was immediately killed by Xia Yunlansang's eyes!

The uncle's already dark face immediately turned into a lump of charcoal.

"...How about...we earn the money back for you?" Xia Yun pointed to another bamboo basket at the uncle's feet, "Isn't there another one?"

"This one?" The uncle suddenly laughed sarcastically, "This one has a ruthless temper. I have only caught it for two days. If you can call it out, let alone the money owed, I will pay you 50 taels! "

"Okay! That's what you said!" Xia Yun agreed without thinking about the word "indemnity", ignoring Lan Sang's little trick of tugging on his clothes secretly.

"What are you doing? Let go!"

Lan Sang asked with a serious expression, "Can you play the flute?"

"..."

Xia Yun pondered for a moment, "I can't play—but I can learn it!"

After finishing speaking, Dayi took the bamboo flute from the uncle's hand in a lingering manner, wiped it with his sleeve first, and then calmly put it to his lips.

half an hour-

Not a single sound came out.

"...Well, even those who don't know how to play the flute know that the flute is played horizontally..." Lan Sang helplessly raised his forehead, and pointed at the vertical bamboo flute in Xia Yun's hand, "You held it upside down."

"Isn't it standing upright?" Xia Yun was shocked, "I always thought it was blowing upright! No! I remember something that looked like it was blowing upright! What is that?!"

"...It's Xiao." Lan Sang no longer wanted to have any communication with this vulgar person.

The uncle and Er Gouzi showed gloating smiles of "lose money quickly".

"Then what should we do?" Xia Yun was already thinking about the route of slipping away.

Lan Sang shrugged innocently, thinking: How do I know?Isn't it because you were outspoken and quick-tempered for a while?

The scene was very embarrassing.

"Xia Yun." Qiao Anyue shook her head slightly, sighed, and stretched out her hand, "Give me the flute."

"Huh? What are you doing? Can you blow?"

"Stop talking nonsense and give it to me."

"Oh." Xia Yun replied ignorantly, and the bamboo flute landed in Qiao Anyue's hands.

Qiao Anyue took it, not caring that it was stained with the moisture blown by Xia Yun, and placed it horizontally on her lips, her fingers nimbly twitched on the bamboo hole.

The breath was continuous, and a cheerful tune poured out from the mouth of the bamboo flute in an instant. The rhythm was fast and slow, and the pitch rose and fell. As soon as a small tune was played, it firmly grasped everyone's ears.

...I really know how to blow...

Xia Yun looked at Qiao Anyue in a daze, feeling that this person has become more radiant since he took off that layer of camouflage.

Although she still had that motionless face while playing the flute, it didn't affect her beauty at all.

Beautiful people are beautiful even if they just stand there without doing anything.

Xia Yun came to this conclusion.

Suddenly, passers-by who were attracted by the sound of the flute shouted: "Hey! Look, look! The bamboo basket is moving!"

The author has something to say: the actress who has passed away is reduced to Tianqiao to perform for a living...

Inexplicably started to take the comedian route orz
