Gu Qing did not take a carriage, but walked through the depressed Yinshan City and headed out of the city.
The beggars and vendors along the road rarely saw a woman with such outstanding temperament, and they all poked their heads out to look at her.
"Whose girl is this? She's so beautiful!"
"I saw her coming out of Tianfu Inn. Is she the rumored wife of the Chen family?"
The people whispered to each other.
At the street corner, many beggars gathered together, looking at each other with greedy eyes like wolves seeing their cubs.
"This must be the Bodhisattva who gave us money yesterday. He is also good-looking." One of the beggars leaned against the pillar under the corridor and looked Gu Qing up and down.
"Alright, we can't afford to offend the Chen family. We'll take what we've gained. I heard Chen Zhizhou has already set off for Yinshan City."
When they heard Chen Zhizhou's name, everyone's faces darkened, as if they were very afraid of this person.
A little beggar crawled out from the crowd and ran towards Gu Qing happily. Seeing this, the man next to her suddenly grabbed her collar.
He said angrily: "You little thing, you still want to run?!"
"Once you join our Beggars' Sect, you will be a member of the Beggars' Sect for the rest of your life. Otherwise..." The man made a gesture of wiping his neck with his hand.
The little beggar had unkempt hair and a frail figure, and it was obvious that he had the body of a girl.
She struggled desperately, cursing, "Bah! When did I join your Beggars' Sect?"
"I'm not me! Let me go!"
The little beggar was flapping his arms in the man's hands, making a lot of noise.
Passersby and surrounding vendors were all attracted and pointed at the group of beggars, but no one came forward to help.
Even Gu Qing's attention was drawn to him. He stopped slightly and looked sideways at the two of them.
The little beggar looked at Gu Qing with pleading eyes: "Madam! Madam, save me! They are kidnapping children! I don't want to be a beggar!"
Gu Qing's eyes darkened.
Recalling that Chen Zhizhou had specifically reminded me not to make enemies with the Beggars' Sect, the Beggars' Sect was spread all over the world and had many followers. Once I messed with these people, I would probably never be able to escape.
She hesitated for a moment, pretended not to hear, and continued walking out of the city.
The girl's voice kept going: "Madam! Madam!"
The prayers turned into frantic screams.
The beggar holding her yelled, "You little bitch! Why are you yelling?"
As soon as the little beggar landed on the ground, he quickly rushed to Gu Qing, knelt down and hugged her legs.
Gu Qing was so frightened that his face changed slightly, "What are you doing?!"
The sudden change caught her off guard.
She deliberately did not take the carriage so that the people from the Beggar Gang would know her whereabouts and make those hiding behind her feel afraid.
Who would have thought that such an accident would happen.
"open."
Gu Qing suppressed his anger. The appearance of this little beggar interrupted his plans.
"Madam, please take me away, okay?! Please! I can do anything. I want to be your maid and do anything. I don't want to be with these stinky men!"
The little beggar was crying, but Gu Qing quickly caught the cunning in his eyes.
What a thoughtful girl.
Gu Qing frowned and brushed her hand away, and the beggar over there also lost his patience.
A group of people are walking this way.
"Let go, I can't help you."
Gu Qing was helpless and wanted to brush her hand away, but the little girl was surprisingly strong. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't move her at all.
Gu Qing lost his patience and said in a deep voice, "Let go!"
"I don't want it! Unless you take me away!"
The little girl was so shameless that she decided to just throw the jar into the air.
Gu Qing frowned unhappily.
The sun shines through the gaps between the clouds and the sun is getting higher. If I delay any longer, I will only waste my time.
But the little girl under him refused to let go.
On the other side, the Beggars' Gang were in a rage, and she was caught in the middle, feeling torn.
"As long as you take me away, I won't bother you anymore, how about it?" The little beggar's voice was very small, but it just happened to fall into Gu Qing's ears.
She hesitated for a moment, her eyes becoming darker and darker.
After the Beggars' Sect surrounded the two, Gu Qing smiled and said, "Everyone, I've always heard that the Beggars' Sect only accepts men. How did a little girl like her become a member of the Beggars' Sect?"
The old beggar in the lead was about fifty years old, and his face was so dirty due to years of slovenliness that it was hard to tell what it originally looked like.
There was also a disgusting smell all over his body.
Gu Qing suppressed the discomfort in his stomach. Seeing that they didn't seem to object, he took out a banknote from his pocket.
"Brothers, why don't you do a good deed? I like this little girl. How about buying her?"
The people of the Beggar Gang did not want to conflict with the Chen family, and the little beggar took this into consideration and kept pestering Gu Qing.
In addition, Gu Qing was straightforward and willing to exchange for silver, so the old beggar did not make things difficult for her.
"Since Madam Chen has taken a fancy to this little girl, let's give Madam Chen some face, but..."
The old beggar stared at her with his aged eyes: "This little girl has a perverse temper. I, an old man, am warning Madam, don't be fooled by her."
Gu Qing nodded slightly and handed him the banknote.
Seeing the beggars following the old beggar away, Gu Qing lowered his head and said, "Can you let go now?"
The little girl let go of her hand, brushed aside her messy hair and smiled cunningly:
"Ma'am, where are you going?"
"What does it have to do with you? Go away, you don't have to follow me."
Gu Qing was a little annoyed because this girl not only wasted his time but also cost him money.
She never likes to do business at a loss.
The little girl was relentless: "Madam, you saved me, so you are my savior. I will pay you back."
Gu Qing ignored her and walked out of the city gate.
Come to the bamboo forest on the outskirts of the city.
The little beggar followed her quietly. Gu Qing knew it very well, but pretended not to see anything.
In the bamboo forest, sunlight shone on the green bamboo leaves, casting mottled light and shadows. The messenger asked her to meet in the bamboo forest at noon, but did not specify the specific location.
Gu Qing stopped, stood with his hands behind his back and looked around. Apart from the chirping of birds, beasts and insects, there was no other sound.
Yinshan City is sparsely populated, and the suburbs are even more desolate.
Not far away, the little girl kept staring at Gu Qing's movements, and followed her every step.
This woman is so strange, she can actually ignore me.
While thinking, she suddenly fixed her eyes, flashed in front of Gu Qing and knocked him down. At the critical moment, a sharp arrow flew across the place where Gu Qing had just stood.
"you!"
Gu Qing's words got stuck in her throat when she saw the sharp arrow. She frowned and looked down at the little girl lying on her in shock.
There was a terrifying murderous intent flashing in her eyes, and she was alert to her surroundings like a wild beast.
"Don't talk."
She spoke in a warning tone, and Gu Qing lowered his eyes, waiting for her next move.
The next second, she leaped into the air, tapping her toes to block another hidden weapon: "Someone wants to kill you!"
She had a smile on her lips and was playing with the sharp arrow in her hand.
Before Gu Qing's fear had subsided, a man in black suddenly came down from the tree with Cuiping.
"lady!"
