Cheng Ping's legacy

Chapter 2: The Sound of Watchman Beating in River City at Midnight

This person was so beautiful that even Qin Pei, who was used to seeing beauties, was stunned for a moment. When he realized it, he faintly felt that there was something wrong with the expressions of everyone around him.

"You..." Wu Luxi said in surprise, "How is that possible?"

Li Chongshuang reached into his sleeve with white hands like jade, gently pulled out a piece of letter paper, and quickly stuffed it back.

The look of surprise on everyone's faces didn't ease a bit, Zhou Wu and Qian Zhongwen looked at each other in blank dismay, while Li Chongshuang stood there leisurely, still smiling.

Qin Pei watched coldly, and was also suspicious in his heart. It was strange that Li Chongshuang, an outstanding person, appeared here, but the reaction of the people who had been pretending to meet by chance before was by no means simple.He had a vague feeling that the only redundant person in this inn was probably himself.

When the few people in the hall were having their own ghosts, the door of the inn was kicked open, and a drunk old man came in: "Where is Qiniang? I haven't seen you for a few months, you make me want to die."

Zheng Qiniang has been working in the back kitchen, and when she heard this person calling, she came out with a smile: "Hey, isn't this Sun Yuanwai? I haven't come for a while, and I'm more handsome and handsome."

Sun Yuanwai was a skinny old man, and he described it as wretched. Hearing Zheng Qiniang's flattery, the creases on his face huddled together with laughter, which made the already horrific face even more unsightly.

Qin Pei paid attention to the expressions of the other people. As soon as Yuanwai Sun came in, Zhou Wu and Qian Zhongwen seemed to be drinking and eating food, but their eyes wandered in the direction of Yuanwai Sun for a moment.As for Wu Luxi, who was a rough man, he glared at him directly. As for Li Chongshuang, Qin Pei frowned after a glance.

Li Chongshuang was still standing, with his hands folded in his sleeves, looking extremely lazy, looking straight at Qin Pei with his eyes, making no secret of his temptation and playfulness.

The two looked at each other for a moment, then Li Chongshuang slowly swayed to his side, and said with a light smile, "Brother Qin, a native of Fengxiang Mansion?"

Qin Pei said nothing with a cold face.

Li Chongshuang was not annoyed, and said to himself: "Brother Qin's skin is as white as snow, his eyebrows are picturesque, and his Nanyin is soft and waxy, he doesn't look like a Longxi native at all."

Qin Pei snorted coldly, "I don't know where Brother Li is from?"

Li Chongshuang smiled slyly: "Qingzhou, Lubei."

"I don't think so, but brother Li speaks a Luojing dialect, so he should be either rich or expensive. It's really unbelievable that he appeared in the countryside at this moment."

They exchanged insinuating greetings, and the lobby became lively.

"Sun Ji, you old man, don't let Qiniang go!"

Qin Pei and Li Chongshuang looked over together, and saw a short and fat man who was flirting with Sun Yuanwai, his face flushed with shame and anger.

Zheng Qiniang was not in a hurry, she just covered her mouth and sniggered. After watching for a while, she turned and went back to the back kitchen, leaving behind a burst of fragrance.

"It's very interesting, isn't it?" Li Chongshuang said the old god was there.

Running to this inn in the wilderness for no reason, and surrounded by strange people, Qin Pei felt extremely irritable in his heart, ignored Li Chongshuang, and went upstairs.

It was only at night that Qin Pei realized that Li Chongshuang, who was not considered a good person, lived in the next room.Everything was quiet, Qin Peiwen read the book and found it boring, so he took a rest early, but he didn't know what Li Chongshuang was tossing about, the candlelight in the next room seemed to be on all night, and there was a shadow through the window lattice.

When it was almost four o'clock, Qin Pei was awakened by the sad cries of black birds in the mountains, and then fell asleep.

Apocalypse moved the capital in just a few short years, and the Xijing Chang'an Regulations were first established. It is almost delusional to arrange tens of thousands of candidates to take the exam at the same time. The prime minister in charge of this matter, Zhao Zixi's hair was so anxious that he finally came up with an expedient plan— ——The candidates whose origins are from the east of Henan Province are all in Chang'an, while those from the west are arranged in Luojing.Although Qin Pei grew up in Luojing when he was young, and was sent to Hengyang by Zhou Jue when he was young, but he was originally from Fengxiang Mansion, so he had to go to Luojing to catch the exam.

Qin Pei opened the window and looked at the stars all over the sky, as if missing something.

Calculating with his fingers, he hadn't been back to Luojing for seven or eight years.His father passed away early, and whenever he was mentioned, the uncles all looked gloomy, with a hint of pity.When I was young, I didn’t do anything, but now that I think about it, my father was overworked and died young, and passed away in his early 30s. Maybe the adoptive fathers and uncles are afraid that they will repeat the same mistakes and die young?

There is less than a month away from Chunwei, but it is more than three thousand miles away from Luojing...

Qin Pei was thinking wildly, but suddenly there was the sound of something breaking in the next room, followed by whispers.Qin Pei frowned, and walked softly to the base of the wall, leaning against the window lattice.

One of them deliberately lowered his voice, it was hard to distinguish, but he was probably a man, and the other was naturally Li Chongshuang, the owner of the wing room. Even if he couldn't see his face, Qin Pei could probably guess this person just from his elegant and soft voice. There must be a calm and calm expression on his face.

The man didn't know what he said, Li Chongshuang smiled happily: "Then it's settled, walk slowly and don't see him off."

The footsteps gradually faded away, Qin Pei walked back to the bed full of doubts, but the windows of the two rooms were pushed open.

Li Chong Shuangji leaned against the window without standing, holding a plain white paper fan in his hand, with a pleasant smile: "The night is getting darker, can Mr. Qin not sleep?"

It was a rare time that he was caught as a gentleman under the wall. Qin Pei was extremely embarrassed, but his face did not change at all: "In ancient times, there was a mountain that heard about partridges, but now there is a wild village with a faint crow, and my heart naturally tossed and turned with sadness."

Li Chong turned his head to look at him, with inexplicable sincerity in his eyes that made Qin Pei disgusted: "The beautiful day is beautiful, the sky is just right, if you don't give up, why don't Mr. Qin condescend to have a drink with Brother Yu?"

Qin Pei was about to decline, but Li Chongshuang found a paper bag from his bag.Qin Pei is a tea lover, and he can tell at a glance that it is Junshan Silver Needle. The places he passes are all remote villages, and the drinks he drinks are all rough strong tea. The words of dodging were swallowed back into the stomach.

"Excuse me, what year is Brother Qin's birthday?" Li Chong asked while brewing tea.

Qin Pei glanced at him and was a little wary: "You and I met by chance, what do you want to know?"

Li Chongshuang handed him tea: "They are all guests from another country, why should Brother Qin be so hostile?" He smiled lightly, stroking the fan bone with his slender fingers, "I am a second-year-old Deze."

Sitting closer, Qin Pei caught a glimpse of the word "Mian" inscribed on the paper fan in block letters. It is not a famous handwriting, but it is extremely correct.He was still wearing the moon white gown, which was made of very ordinary fabric, and he had very few things around him, so it was almost impossible to tell what his family background was or where his hometown was.

When going out, Qin Pei replied cautiously: "I am one year older than you."

"Come on, then I'll replace wine with tea and toast Brother Qin." Li Chongshuang held the cup and was about to put it in his mouth when a scream came from the courtyard downstairs.

"Mr. Sun!"

Qin Pei got up in a rage, but Li Chongshuang sat on the opposite side like a mountain, the tea in his hand did not move at all.

"Interesting." He smiled and took a sip of his tea.
