Chapter 1004: Queen Mother: Test Your Love
Engineering tools were built day and night, and various tribes in Mobei, including the Tiele and the surrendered Uighurs, continuously gathered at the camp at the foot of Yinshan Mountain.
This is the intelligence Daxia received about Mobei.
Meanwhile, Mobei received intelligence from Daxia that a steady stream of reinforcements were arriving at Wuhekou.
They are just reinforcements, actually they are all gangsters.
After all, the imperial court had already begun preparing for this battle, and the necessary troops and deployment had already been arranged by Du Yu, Meng Qin, Li Xuance and others.
Therefore, all those who came to Wuhekou one after another were latecomers from the martial arts world, and they were not the wandering knights like before, but mostly people from sects.
For example, in Liuyue Manor, there are five brothers and sisters of the Liu family. Except for Liu Fenggu who is now killing people in Mobei and has joined the Xiuqi Gate and Jinbo Mountain, the other four brothers and sisters are led by Liu Qianlei, and there are also hundreds of powerful fighters from Liuyue Manor.
There was also the Haoyang Mountain where the sect leader Song Peifeng came in person with his men. Other large and small sects from the martial arts world such as Huadaowu, Daoxia Island, Jianshan, Tianque Mansion, Yuanyin Sect, Duanbing Mountain, etc. all came. Even many people from Yuzhou came.
Even though the Beast Forest was far away, some people came. Although there were not many people, there were more than ten people led by Wu Qinhu's children.
They are all people of the martial arts world, but there must be an arrangement, so they are all counted in the martial arts camp, and [Ba Xia] Yu Feng, [Dang Kang] Xu Zhongkang and [Suan Ni] Qi Ping are the three commanders of the martial arts camp.
All the people in the world were convinced.
But what really convinced everyone was a piece of news that the Jianghu camp was under the control of the Queen.
With so many people, the small Wuhekou seemed particularly crowded. For this reason, Du Yu and Yu Yunwen simply built a number of simple residences outside the pass, and some people from the martial arts world also lent a hand to help.
Because of this, Wuhekou Pass has been very busy in the past few days, with many vendors and peddlers coming here to make money.
At first glance, if it weren't for the fact that a war was about to break out, one would have thought something big was happening.
Pei Lingqiao's stall had been moved to Wuhekou together with the Jianghu camp, but he had not set it up in the past few days.
Or maybe Pei Lingqiao had never thought of setting up a stall to tell fortunes like this.
It was her master, Master Huode, who always wanted her to do this.
The reason was not stated, but he just said, "The little girl should save up her dowry by herself."
Pei Lingqiao was furious. What dowry? Why marry someone?
But we cannot disobey our master’s words.
But after all the hard work of his master leaving, he no longer had to set up a stall and lived a good life. However, he did not expect to be brought here by his senior sister Tuanhe this time, and his master immediately said, "Why aren't you setting up a stall?"
So.
The stall is set up again.
The sky is bright and the weather is fresh.
As soon as the cock crowed, Pei Lingqiao went to his small stall and sat down.
Although the sky is bright, there are already many people.
People in the martial arts world emphasize a clear mind and a light spirit, which means that if they practice martial arts after getting up early every day, they will feel comfortable both mentally and physically.
Needless to say, those peddlers had already set up their stalls.
Pei Lingqiao looked at the small stall beside him, and even more at the stalls not far away, although he knew that these people came here to make money.
But it's obvious that a war is about to break out here.
But on second thought, I decided not to think too much about it, because as Ruan Cheng said, "it's all about making money to live."
Pei Lingqiao actually came from a well-off family. He was not a nobleman, but his parents were quite profitable running two inns. It was only after he was brought up the mountain by his master that he was considered to be broke, but he had no worries about food and drink, and he did not live a hard life.
Sometimes, Pei Lingqiao doesn’t have much exposure to this kind of things, so naturally he doesn’t understand them very well.
But as time went on, the people who set up stalls to tell fortunes were not only people from the martial arts world and soldiers, but also ordinary people. Listening to their stories, Pei Lingqiao would sometimes feel secretly sad.
People who wanted to eat mutton noodles soon sat down at the stall next to Pei Lingqiao.
In the past few days, if Ruan Cheng and Qi Si'er didn't come to Pei Lingqiao's place, she would sit here alone and listen to people around her talk about things in the martial arts world and various current rumors.
If they come, the three of us can listen together.
There are good and bad ones.
But there were also things that made Pei Lingqiao angry.
Just like what was said before that Queen Su Changan was a man.
When this news came out, Pei Lingqiao was in the Jianghu camp with his senior sister. When people in the camp started talking about it, Pei Lingqiao heard it and wondered if he had heard it wrongly.
How could someone say that.
How could a queen sister like that be a man? How could a man be so gentle?
Later she heard that people from Mobei were specifically there to disgust people. She was so angry that she clenched her fists and wanted to beat up the people from Mobei. What kind of people were they!
"I heard that Yun Zuishui from Huadaowu has come, and he has just arrived and is fighting with the great general [Baxia]."
"I heard that Yun Zuishui was beaten so badly, and it is said that he couldn't even break Ba Xia's shield. The Grandmaster Zhijing is fighting right next to us, and we two brothers are not lucky enough to see it."
"There are many days to see. There are so many Grandmasters of the End of the Realm here, young and old. I heard from people who were at Wuhekou before that a few nights ago, the group of Grandmasters of the End of the Realm from Mobei came out together. That scene was really spectacular!"
"Did you see her? Except for the big guys who saw the Queen, who else went out that night?"
"I heard from the people on the city wall at that time. They said that when the queen swung her sword, all the people in Mobei fled. It's a pity that I didn't have the chance to see her once."
"When I mention the Empress, I think of the rumors spread by the people of Mobei. What do you think they are thinking? The most beautiful woman in the world is said to be a man. If she is a man, how can it be justified? I saw that Wenjun yesterday, and she doesn't look like a man even though she looks like that."
"You're in a hurry. What else do you think? You didn't even dare to come and fight me when you didn't see me."
"I heard from the people in the military camp that there are more and more people in Mobei, and they are always making things. They are growing bigger and bigger."
"No matter whether they are big or small, we will fight them when they come! If they are still holding back, what are we? Let's not talk about this matter, there is nothing to say, just fight them. And it's only the court that hasn't made any move. If I were the general, I would have taken people to fight them."
"It is said that many civil officials have advised against it, but Your Majesty refuses to fight, and the military generals are not happy about it either."
"It's over, brother. Let's not talk about this. Speaking of which, I heard from someone who just arrived yesterday that in that no-man's land, Yu Taohua stuck a sword into the ground and said, 'Hello, you bastards, I'm here.'"
After saying this, Pei Lingqiao saw the faces of the chivalrous knights who were speaking showing admiration and helplessness.
Pei Lingqiao was quite happy when he heard Su Changan mentioned just now.
Because I like to hear others praise the Queen sister like this.
But now, he blinked curiously.
He had never seen the Sword Saint Yu Taohua, but sometimes he heard his master and grandmaster mention him, and those two were cursing.
According to the master, 'That person is a dog!'
Later, Pei Lingqiao heard from Senior Sister Tuanhe that Yu Taohua had come to Haoyang Mountain, but they did not fight. However, her mouth made the master so angry that he started to fight. However, Yu Taohua ran away quickly.
As for the master, he was shaking with anger because he didn't hit Yu Taohua at all.
However, what Pei Lingqiao heard was that the Sword Saint had gone to kill the lawless demons.
It is said that those who practice evil and demonic skills in the lawless areas plan to take advantage of the fact that people from the martial arts world are rushing to help Yan, the Western Regions, and the Northern Border to return to the Central Plains.
The Sword Master and two other seniors, the old master of Tianzhi Pavilion and the old master of Jianshan Mountain, went to the no-man's land.
When many swordsmen from all over the world heard about this, they all rushed over.
But just as Pei Lingqiao lowered his head to fiddle with the tortoise shell in his hand, he suddenly heard this voice, "Listening to others talking again."
When I looked up, I saw Ruan Cheng wearing a veil.
Pei Lingqiao was quite curious about the fact that Ruan Cheng always wore a veil, but after seeing Ruan Cheng's true appearance, he immediately understood.
Among all the women she had ever met, the best was naturally the Queen sister, followed by Sister Cai Yunjian, and then Ruan Cheng.
Pei Lingqiao looked at Ruan Cheng and was about to speak, but Qi Si'er was nowhere to be seen. He couldn't help but look around curiously.
Ruan Cheng sat next to Pei Lingqiao: "He was found and captured by his grandfather and brother last night. He should still be being punished now."
Pei Lingqiao nodded.
Ruan Cheng, Qi Si'er and Pei Lingqiao had known each other in Wuping Town. Especially since the three of them shared the same suffering and with Qi Si'er's personality, their friendship grew stronger and stronger, and they played together every day.
Pei Lingqiao naturally knew that the two of them had sneaked out.
But just after nodding, Pei Lingqiao couldn't help but say, "You deserve it."
Ruan Cheng heard this and burst out laughing, "If she hears it, she will play a trick on you again."
Pei Lingqiao bit her lip.
Mainly because compared to Ruan Cheng's good knowledge and manners, Qi Si'er always liked to tease Pei Lingqiao. In particular, one day, Pei Lingqiao drank a glass of wine and got drunk. He told everything about how he knew the Queen sister.
At that time, Qi Si'er was jealous and she shouted that she would go to the queen to ask for three needles.
But seeing that no one stopped her, she gave herself a way out and said she would do it another day, and then came back.
It was also after that that Qi Si'er would tease Pei Lingqiao whenever he had nothing to do, but he was not talking about the three needles, but about Pei Lingqiao's nosebleed.
Whenever it was mentioned, Pei Lingqiao felt so embarrassed that he wanted to find a hole to crawl into.
Finally, Ruan Cheng couldn't stand it anymore and told Pei Lingqiao that Qi Si'er had asked her grandfather to propose marriage in front of the emperor, and had also told the emperor about it.
Pei Lingqiao caught him at this moment.
The needle meets the wheat awn.
No one mentioned the two again.
Pei Lingqiao was sitting aside, watching Ruan Cheng put away the oil cakes she bought and handed them to her, and asked curiously: "I heard from Master that many people came from Yuzhou. Sister Ruan, didn't your father come?"
Ruan Cheng shook her head. "My father is not in good health and cannot come. He is good at chess, but why is he here? And you know that my two brothers came here a few days ago."
Pei Lingqiao said "Oh" and felt relieved.
However, Ruan Cheng was smart. She saw Pei Lingqiao's expression through the gap in the silk gauze and couldn't help but smile and said, "You feel bad that my elders are not here? Do you think I envy you and Si'er?"
When Pei Lingqiao heard this, he immediately shook his head, but then lowered his head. In fact, he still had this thought in his heart. After all, a girl would still miss her family after being away from home for so long.
It's like sometimes I miss my parents, but my senior brothers and sisters are here, my master is here too, and now Qi Si'er's grandfather is here too, but Sister Ruan is the only one here.
Ruan Cheng smiled and said, "Yesterday your master taught you and teased you. I saw it. It's good, but my father and my master don't have the same good temper as Senior Song. My father would probably scold me for sneaking out and coming to such a dangerous place. As for my master, she didn't scold me when she saw me, but she has her own strangeness. You'll know when you see me."
Ruan Cheng looked at Pei Lingqiao's cute appearance and said, "She will definitely like you."
Although Pei Lingqiao was puzzled, he still nodded. He looked at Ruan Cheng, thought for a moment and said, "I think when you saw me like that yesterday and Sister Qi like that now, would you also miss your father and your master?"
At this point, Pei Lingqiao realized that he shouldn't have mentioned it, because before when he knew that Ruan Cheng was a disciple of Zhuhai Wuzhuang, Pei Lingqiao didn't even dare to say much, because he knew the news that Zhuhai Wuzhuang was destroyed by the Prince of Shu's Palace.
Ruan Cheng smiled slightly, broke off some oil cakes and handed them to Pei Lingqiao: "I do miss you, but my master is coming soon. If she comes, doesn't that mean my family is coming? And although we can't go back to Zhuhai Wuzhuang for the time being, my master and uncle have all left safely. My two senior brothers told me about this a few days ago, saying that my master is on the way and will arrive soon. According to my senior brothers' speculation, it should be in the next two days."
Pei Lingqiao was surprised and a little confused, but the next moment, he grinned. No wonder Sister Ruan was in a good mood these two days, but
Is Zhuhai Wuzhuang okay?
I heard people say that it was destroyed by the King of Shu?
Ruan Cheng sneered, as if she knew what Pei Lingqiao meant by that expression, and said, "I'm looking forward to something happening."
Pei Lingqiao immediately shook his head.
Ruan Cheng smiled and said, "At first I thought it was destroyed, too. Even the two senior brothers thought so. But the senior brothers said that Master suddenly sent a letter with the whole process written on it. It said that they had received help from a noble person. Although the place was destroyed, many people in the village were safe and were properly resettled."
Pei Lingqiao nodded quickly: "That's good!"
Ruan Cheng was really happy about this, otherwise she would be sad every time she thought of her master and the others. Especially when she heard that her master was coming, although she didn't show it, she was happier than anyone else in her heart.
However, Pei Lingqiao looked at Ruan Cheng and suddenly thought of something. He put the oil cake on the table aside, took out the tortoise shell and said with a smile: "I'll help you calculate it. Anyway, you can just calculate it."
As he spoke, the tortoise shell in Pei Lingqiao's hand rotated, and after a series of movements, the tortoise shell spit out the six gold coins.
"Let me see." Pei Lingqiao immediately lowered his head.
Ruan Cheng also looked down.
Pei Lingqiao just looked at the six gold coins, blinked, and looked at Ruan Cheng: "Why did you, sister, suffer a bloody disaster, and your family will also suffer a bloody disaster."
Having said this, Pei Lingqiao frowned, put away the six gold coins, and started to calculate again.
Ruan Cheng's expression turned serious.
Because he knew Pei Lingqiao's fortune-telling ability. Although Lingqiao could not reveal many things directly, as long as she said it, it must be true.
It’s okay for me, but when it comes to my family, I can’t be careless.
Pei Lingqiao looked at this new divination and said: "There is still a bloody disaster, this is not right."
As she spoke, Pei Lingqiao looked around, but the surroundings were different from the past few days. The little girl bit her lower lip because she was afraid that something like what happened in Wuping Town would happen again. She was not afraid of those evil people, but she was afraid that something would happen to her sister, the Queen.
But just when Pei Lingqiao collected the six coins and was about to tell another divination.
Pei Lingqiao couldn't help but look at a person standing not far away. It was a female swordsman who had been looking at this side.
But when Pei Lingqiao didn't intend to pay attention.
The woman had already arrived at the table.
Pei Lingqiao was shocked.
Ruan Cheng was anxious and kept looking at the money on the table and didn't notice it.
When you notice it, look at it again.
The woman hugged Ruan Cheng in her arms and said, "My dear disciple, it is you."
Pei Lingqiao, who had stood up and was reaching for the dagger at his waist, was stunned when he heard this.
Although Ruan Cheng was surprised at first, when he looked at the woman, he realized it was his master, Shi Chanxi, the owner of Zhuhaiwu Manor. A look of joy immediately appeared on his face.
But the next moment.
Master Chanxi let go of his disciple, looked him up and down, then lifted Ruan Cheng's veil and looked at her seriously for a moment: "I haven't seen you for a while, you are prettier and cuter, but I didn't touch your butt, let me touch it."
As he spoke, he reached out and kneaded Ruan Cheng's face, just like he had kneaded Wan'er's face that day.
Ruan Cheng took a step back, looked at her master with a blushing face, and said angrily: "Master!"
Shi Chanxi smiled and said: "You are even cuter when you are shy. You are worthy of being my disciple. You are much cuter than your senior and junior sisters."
Having said this, Shi Chanxi glanced at Pei Lingqiao, but when he saw this, his words stopped abruptly.
Look at Pei Lingqiao carefully.
Pei Lingqiao blinked and immediately clasped his fists: "I am Pei Lingqiao from Haoyang Mountain, I pay my respects to my senior master."
When Shi Chanxi heard this, he reached out and touched Pei Lingqiao's face, then looked at Pei Lingqiao's chest and buttocks: "Seventeen years old?"
Although Pei Lingqiao was puzzled, he couldn't help blushing a little, but he still nodded: "Yes."
Shi Chanxi was amazed: "It would be great to be my disciple. Come, let me hug you."
As he spoke, he was about to hug Pei Lingqiao.
But this hand was obviously aimed at Pei Lingqiao's little butt.
Ruan Cheng stepped forward and grabbed his master's hand: "Master! Lingqiao is still a child."
Shi Chanxi looked at Ruan Cheng: "Don't be jealous, you have always been my favorite"
When he said this, he saw that his apprentice's face looked bad, so he immediately smiled and returned to his original appearance, especially dignified and elegant. He looked at Ruan Cheng and said, "It's been a long time since we last met. I feel excited for a while."
Ruan Cheng rolled his eyes at his master.
My master has a very good reputation in the martial arts world. She is a rare female knight who is good at chivalry and justice. Moreover, because she is very good at using the sword, she is also known as the "Mist Butterfly".
But everything is good.
It's just 'lustful'!
Therefore, it is also called [Feng Liu Jian], [Deng Tu Zhuang Zhu] and so on.
But no one said anything about Master Chanxi, because he was just a playboy and a womanizer, but not vulgar, and at most he was just taking advantage of others.
If there weren't so many women who had their hands and butts touched, no one would take her behavior seriously, but it really happened too many times!
As long as there is a good-looking person, especially a woman, he would take advantage of her. On the contrary, no matter how good-looking a man is, Shi Chanxi would not even look at him twice.
It's not that Shi Chanxi is fond of women, but as Shi Chanxi herself said frankly, "there is a man I like", why would she take advantage of a man?
Pei Lingqiao was blocked by Ruan Cheng behind him, but Shi Chanxi's eyes moved from Ruan Cheng to Pei Lingqiao with an admiring look on his face.
But even so, Shi Chanxi looked at Ruan Cheng and said, "I was going to do it directly, but I sensed your presence on the way, so I came here first. However, that bastard Lin Shang wrote to me briefly about your experience and the matter of that evil beast Wu Xiong, but he didn't mention who saved you or how he saved you. You have to tell me the details later."
Ruan Cheng nodded.
But Master Chanxi continued, "However, Lin Shang said that you have someone you like, but he didn't say who it was. He only said that I should tell you when I got there. And that person has become a knot in your heart, and you want me to enlighten you. What kind of person is that? How could he dump you? Kiss? Go to bed? But he could dump you. What kind of person is that? He even dumped me, one of the ten most beautiful disciples on the Rouge List. I have been thinking about this all the way."
Listening to Master Chanxi's words.
Pei Lingqiao blinked and turned to look at Ruan Cheng. Although her face couldn't be seen because of the veil, her neck was red, so there was no need to think about her face.
Pei Lingqiao looked at Master Chanxi, ah, so it turned out that this is what Sister Ruan said about Master being weird.
Thinking of this, Pei Lingqiao glanced at Shi Chanxi who was constantly touching Sister Ruan's hand.
But at this moment, his expression froze, and he thought of the hexagram just now, and then he said: "Senior, I just..."
But that’s where the conversation ends.
Three more people came to the stall.
Pei Lingqiao looked at the three people, his expression stunned and he blinked.
One of the three people wore a veil on his head like Ruan Cheng.
But Pei Lingqiao didn't dare to speak for a moment because of the person wearing the veil on her head and the Queen of Great Xia beside her.
Xia Fengxiang smiled at Pei Lingqiao, then looked at Ruan Cheng.
Ruan Cheng naturally saw it as well. She was stunned for a moment and quickly withdrew her hand from her master. Then, she looked at Su Changan, who was wearing a veil on his head, with some trepidation.
However, Su Changan smiled at Ruan Cheng and Pei Lingqiao, then looked at Pei Lingqiao and asked, "Are there any guests?"
Pei Lingqiao glanced at Master Chanxi, then looked at Su Changan and quickly shook his head.
But her little hands clenched tightly, and her whole body became even more tense.
nervous!
Because she is the Queen's sister!
And for no reason the deer started running around.
Su Changan was not polite and sat directly opposite Pei Lingqiao, then said: "I want you to predict her marriage."
As he spoke, he pulled Sheyue to sit down.
Su Changan continued, "Just charge the normal fee, she'll pay."
Shentu Sheyue was helpless, but did not dare to move.
However, Su Changan noticed what happened to Master Chanxi, but he didn't say much. As for the end, he had seen it many times, so there was no need to care about any one of them.
Especially since he seems to be quite nice to Ruan Cheng and not a bad person, he must be attracted by Ruan Cheng's talent and wants to take him as his disciple.
As for Master Chanxi, he naturally noticed that his disciple felt a little uneasy when this girl appeared, and that the little girl from Haoyang Mountain looked blushing and nervous.
Let’s be honest.
All the scenery is not as beautiful as the girl's blushing for a moment.
Master Chanxi looked at him a few more times and couldn't bear to disturb him.
This little girl from Haoyang Mountain likes this girl.
Thinking of this, he glanced at his apprentice. He had been blushing since just now, and his face could not be seen because of the veil, so he did not think too much about it.
When he turned around, he looked at Shentu Sheyue with surprise in his eyes. What a sharp knife, and it was of the ninth rank, at this age? If he was at this age, which master's sect, other sects have been hiding this treasure? A wild one?
Thinking of this, Shi Chanxi looked at Xia Fengxiang again.
He was startled when he saw it, but because the table was blocking his view, he moved his body, his eyes flashed with praise, and he said directly: "Girl, your breasts, your butt, and your face are amazing! They are bigger than my apprentice's. I wonder how old you are. Do you have a master? Or... are you not from the martial arts world? Touch my hand?"
Hearing his master start talking, Ruan Cheng quickly stepped forward and covered his master's mouth: "Master, don't say anything!"
Ruan Cheng was completely panicked when he heard the teasing words from the Queen of Great Xia.
Pei Lingqiao on the side widened his eyes and was also a little panicked: "She is not a senior."
Xia Fengxiang couldn't help but smile when looking at Shi Chanxi, because he heard Ruan Cheng calling him Master. So that means that is Shi Chanxi?
Seeing is believing, and he really flirted with pretty women when he saw them.
Su Changan, who was standing by, naturally heard it as well. He couldn't help but reach out to lift the veil and take a look.
But this is just revealed.
When Shi Chanxi saw Su Changan, his expression froze, and he subconsciously covered his nose, but his eyes were still staring at Su Changan.
As expected, nose bleeding started immediately, and Master Chanxi clearly knew it.
But the next moment.
Shi Chanxi turned around: "Oranges are extremely beautiful"
Bang!
As she spoke, Shi Chanxi turned around, but Ruan Cheng was right behind her and wanted to stop her from continuing, otherwise Zhuhai Wuzhuang would be "dead" again.
But when Master Chanxi turned around, his elbow, which was covering his nose, hit Ruan Cheng in the face.
Ruan Cheng screamed and immediately covered her face, but from under the veil, blood could be seen dripping. She was hit in the nose by an elbow and was bleeding.
