23. Riding the world of mortals

Entering Qinyang City, I happened to meet the funeral procession.A group of dozens of strong men in coarse clothes with their skirts open came forward carrying seventeen or eight coffins.These coffins were all brand new, and some of them hadn't even been painted in time. Obviously, there were too many new mourners in Qinyang City during this period, and there were not enough coffins, so they were made in a hurry.

Hearing Wang Lianhua talk about the coal mine in the north of the city, Shen Lang and others also guessed who was lying in the coffin.It was a wide long street that could accommodate eight riders in parallel, except for the funeral procession and the horse-drawn carriage on their side, there was no one in sight.The huge city of Qinyang was shrouded in a desolate and gloomy atmosphere, even in the daytime, it made people feel dizzy and miserable, like a ghost.

After the funeral procession, the carriage ran over a field of white paper money and came to the largest inn in Qinyang City.When entering the store, Fang Xinqi saw the word "Little Wang Ji" in the corner of the inn signboard with sharp eyes.

The inn was deserted, probably because of the underground palace of the coal mine, merchants who came and went regarded Qinyang as a dangerous city, fearing that they would avoid it.

The so-called willow tree head on the moon made an appointment after dusk, but unfortunately tonight the moon is dark and the wind is high, and a little lamp is as bright as beans. Fang Xin is riding under the lamp and wiping his beloved dagger when he suddenly hears footsteps not much heavier than cats approaching outside the door , He put the dagger back like a sheath, and said softly: "The door is not locked."

As soon as the voice fell, there was a creaking sound, and the person who pushed the door and entered smiled lightly under the light, but unfortunately the light position was not good, it was illuminated from bottom to top, and in the blink of an eye, the other person's face was covered with shadows , quite a bit of the taste of ghosts.Fang Xinqi secretly sighed with emotion, and then stretched out his hand to move the oil lamp silently.

It's easy to get drunk when looking at beauties under the lamp, so he can't make trouble with his eyes.

Wang Lianhua saw that the master didn't intend to greet him, so she walked over and sat down opposite Fang Xinqi. She poured half a cup of cold tea from the pot and took a sip, feeling her mouth was full of bitterness.He frowned and lowered it again, and raised his eyes to look at the person opposite, but saw that the other person lowered his eyelids, with a peaceful look on his brows, as if he was drinking tea with friends among the flowers, and he didn't take him seriously at all.

Three points of anger suddenly surged in Wang Lianhua's heart, and the smile on her lips deepened instead.Rubbing the delicate porcelain with his fingertips faintly, he was very disapproving in his heart - Fang Xinqi was just his defeated general, and now he dared to make such a defiant gesture in front of him.

——But, that's all.If Fang Xinqi is really that kind of timid person, he is not worthy to be his opponent.

Regarding Fang Xinqi, Wang Lianhua still has many questions and curiosity.Since the failure of the last plan, he ordered people to investigate Fang Xinqi in detail in the past year, but what he knew was nothing more than trivial matters.So digging deeper, the more I feel that this person is incomprehensible.In fact, Wang Lianhua felt that this person was just...an idiot?idiot? ——But if he is really a dull person, how can he be reused by the Merry King?

The person on the opposite side was thinking a thousand times, but Fang Xinqi didn't know it.He lowered his head and looked at the light on his nails in a daze. In fact, Wang Lianhua didn't know that he could have such a calm mind. There was only one thing to rely on—Shen Lang lived next door. He really didn't believe Wang Lianhua could do it. What to do with him under the nose of the protagonist.

A few clappers sounded in the distance, Wang Lianhua sipped most of the hard-to-drink pot of cold tea bit by bit, Fang Xinqi was still in samadhi.Wang Lianhua glared at him secretly, thinking that the first rider in the rushing wind really could hold his breath.

Wang Lianhua put down her teacup and called out: "Fang Shaoxia..."

"Huh?" Fang Xinqi replied indifferently, without raising his eyelids—it's not that he didn't want to, it's all because Wang Lianhua sat here for a long time without talking, and it wasn't his fault that he almost fell asleep.

The dark light in Wang Lianhua's eyes flowed, and she said slowly: "I heard that there are 36 Ji Feng riders around Happy King, all of whom are his disciples. Among them, the first rider of Ji Feng is the most happy Wang, and he is accompanied by night and night. If you don't leave for a moment, you will be regarded as your own by the Happy King?"

Mentioning the sad days of standing guard during the day and keeping vigil at night in the Happy City, being a guest doorman and thug guard, with low wages throughout the year and no three insurances and hardware personal protection, Fang Xinqi suddenly woke up completely.He glanced at Wang Lianhua indifferently, and the meaning of his heart was as dead ashes and unlovable, which made the other party stunned for a while.

The look of surprise on Wang Lianhua's face this time was genuine. He paused and asked hesitantly, "... Happy King treats you badly?"

Okay?Is it not good?

In fact, Fang Xinqi himself didn't know.

When people get along with each other for a long time, feelings will naturally develop.After he crossed over, he spent most of his days in Happy City, and most of this time was in close contact with Happy King.It is true that the happy king is not a good person, and the life of groveling is also very difficult, but it is undeniable that the other party's occasional concern still moves him a little.

Jiang Zuo Situ and others often said that Happy King treated him the best, and the phrase "see as if he had come out of himself" can often be heard. Xinqi couldn't help but feel chilly about this word.

Fang Xinqi was silent for a moment, and said: "...My lord, he treats everyone the same." As long as he has the ability and can be used by him, the Happy King can probably treat anyone as if he is his own.

He knew in his heart, and so did Wang Lianhua - he didn't care what Fang Xinqi thought about Happy King, but now it seemed that the two of them were not on the same page, which saved him a lot of trouble.

He came today mainly because of another matter.

Wang Lianhua said: "Fang Shaoxia, in fact, I have been very puzzled. You seem to know me very well. There are even many things that even the Happy King doesn't know. I have always wanted to ask, how much do you know about me? Also, where did you get the news from?"

Has the point finally come... From the moment Wang Lianhua appeared, Fang Xinqi guessed that the other party would ask this question sooner or later.During this period of time, he has been making up reasons, and after making up countless ones, he found that he couldn't get it right.He rubbed the center of his brows with some annoyance, and finally, staring at Wang Lianhua, said: "...I won't tell you."

Wang Lianhua felt that she was really well-bred for not swearing, so she laughed three times coldly, and was about to say something, when she suddenly heard the sound of the wooden wall next door.

Fang Xinqi immediately dumped Wang Lianhua and leaned over, whispering through the crack of the wall, "Brother Shen?"

Over there, Shen Lang responded lightly, indicating that he had something to go out for.Before Fang Xinqi had time to ask him where he was going, he noticed that Wang Lianhua was also coming over, stretched out his hand and pushed his head aside, and asked to the crack of the wall, "Mr. Shen, do you want to explore the underground palace in the north of the city at night?"

"It turned out to be the prince."

Shen Lang didn't hide anything, and admitted that he really wanted to go to the underground palace to find out the situation first.Wang Lianhua expressed her willingness to go with her, and Shen Lang said that the prince is polite and Shen can go with someone else.

The two exchanged one word and another, and they were polite for a long time through the crack of the wall. Fang Xinqi suddenly said, "You two, why don't you go out and talk about it?" feel?

Shen and Wang: "..."

24. Riding the world of mortals

At the end of the night, Shen Lang went to the north of Qinyang City alone to slander, Wang Lianhua was only polite and didn't plan to follow at all.

Those [traders] who opened the mines and died in the north of the city before, after verification, they are all famous people in the world.People have been walking on the rivers and lakes before, and the cave in the north of the city is actually the tomb of a certain emperor in the past, and countless treasures are buried in it.

Calculating the time when this news began to spread, Qinyang City would probably be bustling now, he just needs to sit in the inn safely, and he will not worry about the bait being delivered to his door, helping him to catch big fish.

But unfortunately, the idea is good, but now there is an extra variable.

Under the light, Wang Lianhua narrowed her eyes slightly like a beast preparing to hunt, looked at Fang Xinqi, and said with a smile: "Ming people don't speak dark words, Fang Shaoxia, how much do you know about the Catacombs in the north of the city?"

Fang Xinqi said bluntly: "I know everything." Including those things that haven't happened yet.

"Oh?" Wang Lianhua looked at him with a smile, as if evaluating how true or false what he said.Fang Xinqi let him look at him with a similar smiling face, and after a while, he said, "My lord, how about we make a deal... I'll tell you what you want to know, and you must also answer my questions. "

"It sounds interesting..." Wang Lianhua was noncommittal, and the two sat back at the table, with a light like a bean in the middle.

***

The slender fingers holding the smooth and jade-like bamboo pen tightened and loosened. After repeated several times, Wang Lianhua put down the pen unbearably, and frowned at someone beside her.But Fang Xinqi propped his head on one hand, leaning on the table and seemed to be sleeping soundly.

Wang Lianhua smiled slightly, put down the pen, approached slowly, and kicked Fang Xinqi on one leg of the chair that Fang Xinqi was sitting on.The chair tilted suddenly, Wang Lianhua stepped back, watching the chair lead people to fall.But Fang Xinqi suddenly propped his hands on the table, like an arrow
