forbidden sea

Early in the morning, Xuan and the others bid farewell to Master Yun and prepared to go to Lingyun Palace.

Lingyun Palace was founded by Xuan's father and concubine, Chihuan Lingyun. It was a secret organization. It usually collected information and manipulated martial arts secretly. It was originally a means for Lingyun to maintain the rule of King Langjie, but this organization disappeared after Lingyun's death.Xuan had contacted Lingyun Palace in Yunfu these days, and now they have no foundation in Langjie, Lingyun Palace is undoubtedly the best place to stay.

In fact, at the beginning, Xuan just had the mentality of giving it a try, but he didn't expect Lingyun Palace to still exist.

They don't have a guide, so they can't get out of Pingyao City, but Xuan is the young palace master of Lingyun Palace, his contact letter has been sent out, and the people of Lingyun Palace will naturally come to meet him, but tonight they have to spend a night in the open air, who told them not to... money.

However, Gu Yichen didn't take it seriously, and Qin Luofu was also very interested in the night in Pingyao City.It's a pity that the night in Pingyao City is not as prosperous as Qin Luofu imagined. Except for the brothels and taverns, the market in Pingyao City has closed early. Lanterns, although the road can be seen, but very dim.

The people from Lingyun Palace didn't know when they would arrive, so Xuan had to take them to a ruined temple first.The ruined temple is the site of beggars, and occasionally poor and poor people pass by to borrow a night, but it is the first time that beggars see such indescribably noble people staying in the ruined temple overnight.

The beggars in Pingyao City are usually in a group, begging in various places during the day, and gather in this ruined temple at night.Most of these beggars are people who love leisure and do not work. As for those who are really disabled, the elderly are all driven to nest beside the broken wall outside the ruined temple.

Xuan led them cautiously to the side of the Buddha statue, raised the fallen Buddha statue with a wave of palm, moved it back to its original position, and said to them, "Wait here for a while, I'll go get some firewood and come back."

After speaking, he left.

Strawberry milk nestled in the arms of their grandparents. It was the first time they saw beggars, especially the way those people stared at them, like a weasel seeing a chicken, they were a little scared.

Originally, when Xuan was there, they did not dare to act rashly. After all, they saw that Xuan moved the huge Buddha statue back with just a wave of his hand. Children, no matter how you look at them, they are lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

The beggars push out a leader and use him as a representative to go to ask for some benefits.

"Hey, this is the site of our brothers. If you want to spend the night here, you have to spend some money to buy peace of mind."

Gu Yichen cast a sidelong glance at them, not wanting to talk to them, for a group of lazy people, they didn't even give them a look.

Seeing Gu Yichen like this, the leader burst into anger, and spat: "Mother, you still have a temper."

Turning his head and waving his hands, he said, "Brothers, take good care of me."

These rascals are used to them, with rough skin and thick flesh, relying on the large number of people, they plan to come and bully the few.

It's just that they never thought that the tall and thin woman was actually a piece of iron. When they stepped down, they didn't get anything, but they kicked their own feet.

It didn't take long for Yingling to clean up more than a dozen beggars and drove them to the gate of the temple.

In front of them, Ying Ling stomped down a door, and put down his harsh words: "Remember these faces, and make a detour when you see them in the future, otherwise you will hit them every time you see them."

It was the first time that the beggars had been beaten so badly. This woman's attack was black and ruthless, and she only picked out the painful places to beat them. Moreover, when one person faced more than a dozen people, they couldn't take advantage of it at all.

too frightening.

The beggars helped each other to leave the ruined temple.

When Xuan came back with a small bundle of firewood and a few oil paper bags, the ruined temple had already been cleared.Xuan didn't ask, he knew the character of these people, he would definitely attack them while he was not around, but he taught the baby spirit, so how could it be a fuel-efficient lamp, if you don't beat them up, you can't get up It is already extrajudicial.

It doesn't matter if all the people are gone, it will save you from being stared at by so many people.

"Where did you get this roast chicken?" Gu Yichen tore apart the roast chicken neatly.

Xuan cleaned up the ground, set up a bunch of torches, and the ruined temple was brightened up, and they sat down around the torches.

"I visited a nearby restaurant and saw that there was a lot of food in the back kitchen, so I packed a few to take away."

These are just to fill the stomach, as a last resort.

Gu Yichen couldn't help but teased: "The dignified second prince actually learned from others and became a gentleman on Liang."

Xuan squinted at Gu Yichen, and did not argue with him, but said: "I will return the money when I settle down."

There is nothing they can do about it, they are not familiar with the place, and they have to take care of the family, so they can only do this for the time being, Strawberry Milk is still a child, they don't want the two children to see too much and act like this, after all, it is not honorable.

"Let's find a way to make money tomorrow." Xuan said.

He didn't tell them about the Lingyun Palace, not because he didn't trust them, but because of the existence of Lingyun Palace, if one more person knows about it, it will be more dangerous. As the Young Palace Master, Xuan has the responsibility to protect the secrecy of Lingyun Palace.

The people from Lingyun Palace will probably arrive in these two days, and Xuan and Gu Yichen plan to earn some money to come back first, and let everyone live in a ruined temple no matter what.

The next day, Xuan took Gu Yichen out to make money. After all, Xuan is a prince, and he has always been pampered. He never came out to beg for a living, so he didn't know how to get money, and Gu Yichen was new here, so he didn't know much.

The two wandered the streets for a long time, but they couldn't find a suitable job to do. They also wanted to work as laborers, but people saw that they were well-dressed, and thought they were from rich families. leave them.However, the wages of being a laborer are really too little, not enough to stay in the hotel, so they gave up this way.

Gu Yichen knows how to run a business, but it is only on the premise of having a company and funds. Now they have nothing, so don't expect to make a lot of money, as long as they have food and clothing.

As he was walking, he suddenly heard commotion from the crowd. After a while, he saw an official coming on horseback, followed by a prison cart. On the prison cart was tied a big dark-skinned man with a beard and a scar running from his left forehead across the bridge of his nose. Curving to the right cheek, the bridge of the nose is crooked, looking very ferocious.

Gu Yichen grabbed a person who was rushing to join in the fun and asked, "What's going on here?"

The man said: "This is Jiang Yang's bandit, who kills people like hemp. He was caught by bounty hunters a few days ago. No, he will be beheaded for public display."

"Bounty hunter?" Gu Yichen caught the key word.He knows this profession, he has seen it on TV, some criminals who can't be caught by the yamen will have a reward notice posted on the door of the yamen, and those who are caught can go to the yamen to receive the reward.

"This Jiangyang thief has committed several cases of extermination, and the reward is a full 100 taels." The man's expression was exaggerated, coupled with his eight-character eyebrows and triangular eyes, it was ridiculous no matter how you looked at it.

Gu Yichen's heart moved, and he looked at Xuan, who was also thoughtful.

It seems that bounty hunters still make a lot of money, but they don't know how easy it is to catch those criminals.

The two of them didn't go to join in the fun to watch the beheading heart, and inquired all the way to the county government.

Several reward orders were pasted on the fences on both sides of the yamen gate, all of them were criminals who had committed major crimes, and judging from the age of these reward orders, they should be tricky criminals.

Xuan took a few glances, picked the most valuable one, and tore off the reward order.

The three tyrants of Qishan.

There is a mountain called Qishan five miles outside Pingyao City. There is a bandit den on the mountain. There are three masters in it. On the cliff, you have to rely on ropes to go up, easy to defend and difficult to attack, the officers and soldiers can't go to their stockade, let alone encircle and suppress, and these three masters have special skills, and the other bandits who have been transferred and taught have some skills. Therefore, the government has been unable to suppress it.

The three tyrants of Qishan have been rampant for many years, and they have long believed in their hearts that no one can do anything to them, the government can't do it, the bounty hunter's bones are piled up under the cliff, they don't have to worry at all.

Wanting to suppress them is an idiot's dream.

Of course, they who were overly inflated would never have imagined that the evil chains of ecstasy were slowly stretching towards their necks.

The author has something to say: I don’t know if everyone is desperate for me, but no one came to watch, so heartbroken QAQ...
