Isn’t this request too difficult?

Shao Qing was stunned.

Seeing that she didn't move for a long time, Wei Jing urged her again. Shao Qing swallowed and said, "Uh, no need. It won't hurt. Just untie it."

Wei Jing frowned: "Let me see what's wrong?"

What's wrong?

In Wei Jing's heart, Shao Qing is his wife. Although the two have not consummated their marriage, it is normal for a husband to be concerned and want to see what is going on.

But Shao Qing and he were not on the same channel.

It’s not a question of whether Wei Jing is good or not, but that she has never considered this matter at all.

Running away from arrest, running around, nerves stretched to the limit, who has time to think about these messy things? She and he had experienced life and death together, slept in the same bed, trusted and cared for each other very much, but it felt more like a comradeship.

But now my comrade-in-arms said he wanted to see her breasts.

Shao Qing's blood rushed to his head, his face was burning, and he said anxiously: "Nothing's wrong!"

In fact, she was not completely unaware of Wei Jing's attitude, but she had never thought about it before. Considering their past and current situation, now is not the right time to discuss this issue openly.

Shao Qing couldn't refute Wei Jing, and of course she wouldn't agree to him. She glared at him in shame and anger: "No need to look, I'm not in pain!"

She turned around and got on the bed, lowered the bed curtains and covered herself tightly, then turned her back to them and hurriedly untied her restraints, letting her poor body catch its breath.

There was a hissing sound inside the bed curtain. Wei Jing certainly would not force himself to lift the curtain. However, he was a little confused about Shao Qing's emotions. He stared at the bed curtain for a long time with a frown on his brows, and Shao Qing's angry face flashed before his eyes.

It looks very different from usual, but very smart.

After waiting for a moment, he asked in a low voice, "Are there any bruises? Do you want some medicine?"

"No, I'm fine!"

…

This embarrassing topic was finally overcome and they were silent all night. When they woke up the next day, Shao Qing lowered the bed curtains and was ready to do the same thing.

Wei Jing frowned and said, "It's okay to loosen up a bit."

Shao Qing was embarrassed, but he cared about her after all, so he agreed vaguely and went back to doing things as usual.

Just be patient for a while. She still has confidence in Wei Jing. No matter who he is, King Qu or County Lieutenant Qu, it won't take long to capture him.

However, she had better be cautious in this process. After all, she was temporarily using Yang's identity to avoid any complications.

The group left the tavern and walked around Pingtao City.

Pingtao was a large county with more than 20,000 households. The city was well-fortified and there were many mountains and forests nearby, which allowed for the seclusion of soldiers. The best part was that it was adjacent to two barbarian tribes, which could easily lead to conflict. Now that there is a conflict, it is normal to recruit additional county soldiers. Now the county magistrate holds both military and political power and is directly in charge of the soldiers.

It is good that the people have a tough character. On the contrary, Wei Jingcai does not like those who are weak and gentle. The tough people can be trained into a fierce soldier, and in comparison, the latter are obviously inherently deficient.

Overall, he was quite satisfied.

"Let's go take a look at the Qu Mansion and the County Government Office."

The next thing to do was to consider how to resolve the issue of County Magistrate Qu. Wei Jing turned around and headed towards the center of the city.

It is said that the mansion of County Lieutenant Qu is right next to the county government office, which is quite good since there is no need to run to two places.

Shao Qing thought so, but when she arrived at the place, she was surprised.

There are two high-gate buildings next to each other. Compared with the bustling Qu Mansion on the left with a constant stream of visitors, the government office on the right is much quieter.

There were only two constables in black uniforms guarding outside the gate, looking bored and inattentive.

This government office was not only deserted, but also quite old. A closer look revealed that the red paint on the gate had many cracks and was even peeling off. Looking inside the courtyard, one could see a lot of weeds growing in the cracks between the bluestone floors. The tiles were dull and the walls were yellowed, and it was obvious that it had not been repaired for a long time.

Shao Qing was secretly shocked. It looked like this government office was rarely used on a daily basis. Could it be that all official business was handled at County Magistrate Qu's house?

When a county magistrate leaves office, he will be replaced by someone else, and there is a time limit for his appointment. How many months has Pingtao County been without a county magistrate, right?

Why is the county government in this state? What kind of life did the former county magistrate live?

Wei Jing looked at it calmly without much emotion. The people behind him also made mental preparations in advance and showed no strange expressions.

He ordered Kou Xuan: "Wait a moment, you come here to deliver the message." After the group returned to the tavern.

When the new county magistrate arrives, it is normal for his subordinates, such as the county lieutenant, county magistrate, etc., to go out to greet him.

Kou Xuan responded quickly.

"I'm going back."

Wei Jing spoke slowly to Shao Qing. Shao Qing responded, withdrew his gaze from the bright Chu Qu Mansion over there, and left with him.

As everyone turned around, they suddenly heard a burst of hurried horse hooves sounds coming from afar. They saw several fast horses turning around the corner on the other side of the county government office and galloping towards this side.

The first rider was a young man in red clothes and a silver crown, about twenty years old, with fair complexion and handsome features, but unfortunately his arrogance completely ruined this good-looking appearance.

The horse was running very fast, and a pedestrian was a beat slow to avoid it. The young man in red raised the whip without hesitation and hit him hard.

"ah!"

The pedestrian screamed and rushed out, and his followers spit "Pooh" and cursed: "You lowly person blocking the road, get out of here!"

Everything changed so quickly that Shao Qing and his group were actually very close to the riders. The man who had just been whipped was only seven or eight steps away. The young man in red dealt with one of them, and then swung another whip towards them.

Whips whizzed and passers-by around her screamed and dodged, but Shao Qing was not too scared. As expected, her waist tightened and she had retreated to a safe area.

"Huh?"

Compared to the embarrassed pedestrians, Wei Jing and Shao Qing were much more calm and composed, and their agile movements were eye-catching. The young man in red was surprised, but also interested. He pulled the reins, raised his hand and pointed with the whip: "You two..." Come here and let me take a look.

“Ahhhh!”

Before he could finish his words, the horse that had just stopped neighing under his crotch suddenly stumbled, lost its balance, and fell off with it.

The fall was very heavy, throwing the young man in red up into the air. With two "bangs", they landed one after the other.

After the broken silver hit the horse's hoof, Wei Jing withdrew his hand and looked coldly at the man and horse who were wailing in pain. The young man in red, who had been so arrogant just now, fell face down on the ground with blood all over the lower half of his face. He curled up and made two "Puh" sounds, directly spat out two front teeth that were broken at the roots.

"Shall we go back first?" Shao Qing tugged at Wei Jing's sleeve.

The young man in red was obviously from the Qu Mansion. The gatekeepers over there were shocked when they saw him. They shouted and rushed over to the mansion. Pedestrians dodged in panic and the scene immediately became chaotic.

This person is indeed annoying, but there is no need to rush. We can settle the accounts together later. There is no need to disrupt our plans because of this.

Wei Jing withdrew his gaze and left with Shao Qing. Kou Xuan and others hurriedly followed.

"Third Young Master, Third Young Master!"

The attendant guarding the gate hurriedly helped the man up and asked repeatedly. The young man in red, the third son of the Qu family, Qu Gan, covered his mouth and said, "Oh, it hurts, who is it? Who is it?!"

He had carefully selected this horse and had ridden it for two years without any problems. Someone must be plotting against him!

He was furious, and while enduring the pain he looked around, when he suddenly remembered the young man with extremely beautiful movements just now. His eyebrows raised, and he looked over quickly.

Wei Jing and Shao Qing had already turned around and walked a distance. Qu Gan squinted his eyes as he looked over the crowd, and suddenly his eyes widened: "Beauty, she is a beauty!"

He shuddered, ignoring the pain all over his body, and stood up with a somersault: "Hurry, hurry and chase me!"

What are you chasing?

The attendant looked carefully and saw two men over there, one tall and one short. The tall one was a young man and the short one was a teenager. The one with broad shoulders and thick back was obviously a man.

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Haven't they heard that the Third Young Master likes Long Yang? !

"You know nothing! How can a man and a woman walk in the same way? Such a graceful and light walk, this kind of walk must be that of a first-class beauty!"

Qu Gan was gifted and had slept with countless women. He was well versed in all the tricks of the trade. He could see through Shao Qing's disguise from her back and was overjoyed. "Quick, catch up with her!"

He was about to chase after him, but his knee was hurt so much that he limped and could not take two steps before he was grabbed by the steward who rushed out in a hurry.

"Third Young Master, you should treat your wounds first!"

The chief steward, like everyone else, could not see any of Laozi's tricks. He glanced at Shao Qing, who turned a corner and disappeared, and was puzzled. He could only persuade him: "As long as this man is in Pingtao, it won't be too late to find him after he has been cured. Isn't that what the Third Young Master wants?"

Qu Gan covered his mouth, blood dripping from his fingers, and the ground on his clothes was covered with blood. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, let's call the doctor quickly."

He was helped back to receive treatment for his injuries. Fortunately, his arms and legs were not broken, but his front teeth could not be replaced, and he would have to suffer from a weak tooth for the rest of his life.

Qu Gan was naturally upset and angry, but he was still thinking about the beauty, so he quickly ordered his men to call for the soldiers and look for the group that "intended to hurt people".

It must have been the young man in black who plotted against him. Once he was caught, all his teeth would be knocked out, and then he would be thrown into the river bank to do hard labor. When he had been tortured enough, he would be killed.

As for that beautiful girl, he rescued her from the sea of ​​suffering, and from now on she will live a life of luxury and I will love her every day.

Qu Gan rubbed his hands together, feeling hot all over in a hurry, but he didn't think about the group of new and old concubines in his room at all. He turned over and sat up, ready to take action himself.

However, he failed to succeed in searching for the person. He led a group of county soldiers and rushed out aggressively, but was stopped by his father in the front yard.

County Magistrate Qu Chengzheng was holding a piece of letter paper and frowned, "Where are you going now? Stop for now, change into black clothes and follow me out."

"Dad, what are you doing?"

Qu Gan was very surprised to see his father's confidants, including the Shaofu Zhubo and his two brothers, rushing over in a hurry. Everyone was dressed in formal attire. His father also instructed them to notify all the gentry and nobles in the county to arrive within half an hour.

"What's wrong with your mouth?"

After Qu Cheng returned home, he received the news from Kou Xuan. He didn't know his youngest son was injured, but he didn't have time to care about it now: "The new magistrate Yang is here, will you come with me to welcome him?"

"welcome?"

Qu Gan's eyes widened: "The new county magistrate has arrived, why should we go out to greet him?"

So what?

Qu Gan's idea was not groundless. As the saying goes, even a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake. His Qu family was the local snake, but the new county magistrates who came again and again had nothing to do with the strong dragon.

If you are sensible, you will gain some benefits and live in peace; if you are not sensible, you will naturally taste the pain of being sensible. Anyway, the Qu family has occupied Pingtao for more than ten years, and the county magistrate has changed several times, but his family remains proud to this day.

"This time, County Magistrate Yang is quite interesting."

Qu Cheng narrowed his eyes. Since he had stayed in the inn, he must have heard of the Qu family's name. How dare they send their family to deliver a letter to him? !

Is it like a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger, or is it because of something that it can rely on?

As for the latter, Qu Cheng didn't believe it. This southwestern border was far away from the Middle-earth. Which son of a noble family with a good background and support would be exiled here? And just in case, he spent a lot of money to make arrangements.

"Since he has sent a letter, shall we go to meet him?" We will know who he is after a while.

If he is just a young and inexperienced person, huh, then don't blame him for being rude.
