The importance of cannon fodder

Chapter 357 Commander (28)

"Big brother is very mysterious." Jiu Yao knew that there were some things he couldn't tell Xiao Qi, so he said so.

"Oh." Xiao Qi was a little disappointed, and didn't get the words out of Jiu Yao's mouth.

"Okay, let's go. The more we rest, the more weary we feel, and we won't be able to climb anymore." Xiao Qi stood up and continued to climb up the mountain road.

Nine Demons bounced and crawled on the side, not feeling tired at all.

On the other hand, Xiao Qi climbed slowly, and when he finally reached the middle of the mountain, it was already noon.

There are many people on the mountain, it seems that today is still some kind of festival.

"There are so many people on the mountain? Did they all climb up or did they live on the mountain?" Jiu Yao looked at the stalls in front of him, some were counting horoscopes, some were marriage testers, and there were so many of them.

Xiao Qi looked at Jiu Yao with an expression that you really don't know anything, "Today is a gathering, once a year, the purpose of my coming to Yangzhou this time is to come here."

"So, you came to Yangzhou to come here?" Jiu Yao was puzzled.

"Well, I'm 15 years old. I haven't gotten married yet, and I don't have anyone I like. My father is worried that I won't be able to get married and will become an old girl. But I don't want to marry someone I don't like, so after hearing this After this gathering, I was thinking, if the Marriage Temple is really effective, I would like to come and seek marriage, hoping that God can give me a man I can like as my consort."

Xiao Qi clasped his hands together and put them on his chest, closed his eyes, and smiled at the corner of his mouth.

"Unexpectedly, I found this person on the way here this time, so I came here this time to seek fate, the fate between me and him." Xiao Qi opened his eyes, and there was something in the corner of his eyes that he couldn't hide. smile.

Jiu Yao suddenly thought of something, she scratched her head, and asked puzzledly: "Sister Qi, I said it is possible, is there such a possibility, if two people fall in love with one person at the same time, they come to beg at the same time Fate, then, do you think this temple is still alive?"

"It seems that there is such a possibility. Shen Lian looks so handsome. There must be many girls who fell in love with him at first sight along the way. They will definitely use this opportunity to come to the temple to seek fate. No, I have to hurry to seek fate. We can't let them get there first." Xiao Qi was reminded by Nine Demons that she felt a sense of crisis in an instant, and she ran towards the temple.

There were traces of black lines across Jiu Yao's face.

She also followed in.

Entering this temple, Jiu Yao felt something was wrong.

Something unspeakable is wrong.

There is a stone statue in the temple.

It was a stone statue of a man, very abstract, but his appearance could be seen vaguely.

Jiu Yao stared at the stone statue. At this moment, she didn't know if Jiu Yao's eyes were dazzled. She seemed to see the stone statue in front of her turn into a handsome man, and that man was smiling at her.

In that instant, it changed again.

Jiu Yao blinked, the stone statue was still a stone statue, she rubbed her eyes and thought suspiciously, could she be dazzled?
"Nine Yao, don't you want to ask?" Xiao Qi got up after bowing piously, and asked.

"No." Jiu Yao shook her head, she didn't know what the stone statue in front of her was, how could she bow down to him.

"That's right, Jiu Yao is so young, there is no one he likes. In the future, when Jiu Yao gets older, Jiu Yao will come." Xiao Qi touched Jiu Yao's head.

"..." Jiu Yao had the urge to tell Xiao Qi that she was exactly 120 years old this year.

She is more than 100 years older than her.

After Jiu Yao and Xiao Qi paid their respects, they went down the mountain.

The road down the mountain is not easy, of course, for Xiao Qi.

As the saying goes, going up a mountain is easy and going down a mountain is hard.

The road up the mountain is the same as the road down the mountain. Moreover, going up the mountain is more strenuous than going down the mountain. Why do people always say that it is easier to go up the mountain than harder to go down?
For this reason, Jiu Yao understood this truth after taking a look at Xiao Qi's distorted walking posture.

why?

Xiaoqi kept complaining that her legs hurt, but she seemed completely different from how energetic she was when she went up the mountain.

However, the downhill time is much faster than the uphill time.

When they reached the foot of the mountain, Xiao Qi saw a familiar figure.

"Shen Lian, why are you here?" Xiao Qi walked over shyly holding Jiu Yao's hand.

"?"Big brother?Why didn't Jiu Yao see anything?Where is big brother?

"Sister Xiao Qi, be careful." Jiu Yao held Xiao Qi, she almost stepped on the air and fell down.

After seeing the steps under her feet clearly, Xiao Qi was also afraid for a while, "I clearly saw Shen Lian just now, why didn't I? My eyes are blurred, or—" Xiao Qi blushed when she thought of this, still, she missed him too much Shen Lian?
However, this also made Jiu Yao a little scared, wondering if the big brother would be angry with them for running out secretly?
Jiu Yao was a little worried on the way back.

Xiao Qi, on the other hand, looked unusually rosy along the way.

When the two arrived at Laifeng Inn, they found that the inn was surrounded by officers and soldiers.

Just as Jiu Yao was about to walk in, he was stopped by the officers and soldiers on the side, "Stop, this place is sealed, you can go to other places to stay."

"Why is this place blocked?" Xiao Qi asked puzzled.

"Catch the murderer." The officers and soldiers explained.

"Murderer?" Jiu Yao sneaked a few glances inside with doubts on his face.

"Jiu Yao, what did you see?" Xiao Qi was stopped and couldn't see anything.

"I saw big brother and Feng Chi inside." Jiu Yao didn't use to look, but felt the aura of Feng Chi and Shen Lian.

"You mean, Shen Lian is in there?" Xiao Qi was no longer calm.

"En." Jiu Yao nodded.

"Get out of the way, I am Princess Xiaoqi, the daughter of Prince An of the current Dynasty, who of you dare to stop me?" Xiao Qi instantly showed her gold medal and her identity.

The surrounding soldiers saw it and quickly gave way.

"Shen Lian, are you okay?" Xiao Qi saw Shen Lian sitting on the table, and she ran over quickly.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, Xiao Qi, you are making Brother Huang very sad." After Feng Chi saw Xiao Qi's actions, a look of displeasure was evident on his face.

"You are sad." Xiao Qi replied nonchalantly.

"I'm fine." Shen Lian raised the corner of his mouth and his eyes fell on Xiao Qi and Jiu Yao, "Where have you been today?"

"Let's go to see the lotus." Xiao Qi said.

"We're going to the Temple of Fate." Jiu Yao said.

"Oh?" One answer got two results.

"We're going to the Yuyuan Temple." Xiao Qi replied blushing. Xiao Qi didn't want Shen Lian to know that she went to the Yuyuan Temple to seek marriage, which made her feel a little embarrassed.

But Jiu Yao is still an honest child, and never thought of lying.

"Big brother, why are you sitting here? What happened?" Jiu Yao didn't know Xiao Qi's journey in her heart, nor what she was struggling with, so she noticed Feng Chi and Shen Lian sitting on the same table at the same time. On the table.
