Hearing the voice, Wang Xiu happily shouted, "Brother is back."
The little girl waved her arms excitedly and Boxing hurried out to greet them at the gate.
Both Zhang Yuanqing and the Queen saw it and their faces changed drastically.
Coming back at this time! This is going to kill me. I just got out of the wolf's den and fell into the tiger's mouth. Zhang Yuanqing knew that he would probably encounter the forces of the Qinglong Gang and the Shenrui Army after leaving the palace.
After all, this is an "elite monster" in the copy, but he never expected that he would run into the home of a Qinglong Gang member as soon as he escaped from the palace.
So what if he is a member of the Qinglong Gang? He doesn’t know that I am the emperor. Maybe he is just an ordinary gang member. Even if he knows that I am the Star Emperor, I can easily subdue him and hypnotize him. But what if he is a master?
If a fight breaks out, it will surely attract the attention of the city defense army. Once the whereabouts are exposed, they will surely be killed. As he was thinking, he heard footsteps approaching the door. A short young man with a scruffy beard strode over. He was wearing a green jacket and a shorts, carrying a weapon wrapped in a cloth on his back. Wang Xiu sat on his flat shoulders, clasping his hands tightly, and a smile gradually spread across his big head.
The unshaven young man was originally smiling, but suddenly he saw three strangers and stopped. His smile disappeared. He looked at Zhang Yuanqing and the others and then at his mother: "Mom, we have guests at home."
My aunt snorted coldly at first, and then said unhappily: "What guests? These are your cousins!"
The unshaven young man was stunned on the spot, bewilderedly said: "Cousin, my father and I are both only sons, my eldest uncle and second uncle all have sons, where did my cousin come from? This is not my cousin, right?"
My aunt was also stunned. At this moment, her brain was in a state of confusion as she was experiencing cognitive and memory problems. She murmured, "Indeed, my eldest and second brothers both gave birth to sons."
The unshaven young man's expression grew a little more serious. He took two steps back, let go of Wang Xiu on his shoulders, and reached back to grasp the weapon wrapped in cloth.
The Fire Queen immediately tensed her body, and Jiang Jingwei frowned, arched his back, and made a posture ready to go.
Although she didn't understand the situation, the Fire Master had a very sharp combat sense and had already sensed the hostility of the young man in plain clothes. She was able to detect something was wrong when her mother was confused, instead of continuing to question her.
Before the battle, I knew to put the young sister down first, because I felt that she was not a fire master. If she was not a fire master, there was still a chance.
Zhang Yuanqing had an idea and put his left hand behind his back, pointing at his aunt within the Queen's field of vision, indicating that she should take hostages. The Queen understood and quietly moved closer to her aunt who was in a state of confusion.
Zhang Yuanqing and Jiang Jingwei stood forward to block the two sides. Sure enough, the unshaven young man's expression slowed down and became extremely solemn, but the hand holding the weapon did not move for a long time.
He glanced sharply at the strange man and then lowered his head and said to his sister, "Xiu, go to the door and see if the old man is back."
Young Wang Xiu couldn't understand the tense atmosphere, so she said "hmm" obediently and ran out with her short legs.
He disappeared and retracted his hand, no longer holding the weapon tightly, and smiled, "So it's my cousins here. Can I borrow their time to talk?"
He stared at Zhang Yuanqing and said: Don't force me to fight to the death. Zhang Yuanqing understood his mood and breathed a sigh of relief.
The young man did not choose to attack forcefully, which meant that the other party was not sure of saving his mother, which ruled out the possibility of a saint. If it were a saint, he could kill all three of them in an instant!
Zhang Yuanqing said, "There's no need to let Aunt go back to the house." What he meant was that it was impossible to let the other party go back for a moment to talk, in case the other party suddenly got angry and captured him, it would be like exchanging hostages for hostages.
The queen understood and smiled, "Aunt, you don't seem to be feeling well. I'll help you go back to your room to rest! Please don't argue with your cousin."
After hearing her son admit that they were "cousins", the abruptness in her cognition and memory disappeared. She held her forehead and said, "Why did you suddenly feel dizzy? I have bad intentions when I see your cousin."
With the help of the queen, the young man entered the main house. He glanced at the closed door and tried to walk into the patio. As soon as he took a step, Zhang Yuanqing said, "Cousin, stand there and don't move."
The young man stopped helplessly and said in a deep voice, "Which group are you from? Just tell me what you want! I won't give you a good life. If you are here for revenge, you can do it now!"
Zhang Yuanqing said, "Now you can draw your sword and commit suicide!"
The young man sneered and said, "If that's the case, then I can only be a motherless person!"
"What craft do you want to learn?"
"kill!"
"Knife or sword!"
"With a sword."
"Who is the master?"
"No master."
"How can you learn without a master?"
"Self-taught basic skills"
"From the Qinglong Gang?"
"yes."
"What's the position?"
"Thugs!"
The two of them spoke very quickly. Zhang Yuanqing seemed not to give the other party time to think. He asked quickly and answered quickly, blurting out the questions without thinking at all.
Each other's eyes are familiar with each other!
"Drop the sword!" Zhang Yuanqing ordered.
The bearded young man took off the sword from his back, threw it at his feet and kicked it away, and the sword flew dozens of feet away.
Zhang Yuanqing's expression relaxed and he said with a smile, "I have no ill intentions in passing through your precious place. I just want to stay for two days."
The young man did not speak. Zhang Yuanqing took Jiang Jingwei and walked three steps forward. When he was about to stop, he put his hands into his arms and said, "If you don't believe me, I'll show you something."
The young man still didn't say anything, Zhang Yuanqing took out a golden pocket watch from his pocket and pointed it at the young man and opened it!
The young man, who was concentrating on staring at him to prevent hidden weapons, couldn't help but stare at the pocket watch and the dial.
As the second hand moved, the young man's eyes suddenly straightened, his pupils dilated and he stood still.
Zhang Yuanqing whispered, "I am your cousin Li Erdan, she is your cousin Li Jian, and the one in the room is your eldest cousin."
He repeated it three times like a brainwash, and the young man muttered to himself with a dull expression, "You are my cousin Erdan, she is my cousin Li Jianghua, and the one in the room is my eldest cousin Li Daya."
Zhang Yuanqing closed the cover of the watch as if relieved. With the sound of a click, the young man's breath was startled, and his empty eyes regained their brightness. Then he saw Zhang Yuanqing and Jingwei approaching. The young man was stunned at first, then his face lit up and he said with a smile, "Cousin, long time no see, how come you are in the capital?"
Zhang Yuanqing sighed and touched Jiang Jingwei's head and said, "My parents died in the war when the Northern Dynasty invaded. I could only take my two sisters to Beijing to seek refuge with my uncle and aunt."
The young man agreed greatly, gnashing his teeth and saying, "As long as the tyrant ruler is alive, the country will never prosper."
Jiang Jingwei did not interrupt, but secretly admired Yuanshi Tianzun for knowing so many idioms.
At this time, a roar from this world came from the doorway, "Asshole, can you even say that? If you don't want to live, don't bring trouble to your family."
It turned out that Uncle Wang had returned, and Wang Xiu followed him happily. The young man did not speak to his father and went straight back to his room.
"Uncle Wang."
"Hey," someone called out to him, "that's where your cousins live. Go to the main room and sleep on the floor."
The young man simply went to the kitchen, found some fried beans, and sat under the patio to eat them.
After his uncle Wang came back, his aunt came out of the house and went into the kitchen to light the fire and cook. Jiang Jingwei and the queen followed to Qin to have fun. One was responsible for cutting vegetables and the other was responsible for lighting the fire. The three men sat under the patio and chatted. Zhang Yuanqing learned that his cousin Ming's name was Wang Beiwang, which meant "direct teacher looking north".
Every citizen of the Southern Dynasty has the dream of marching north to retake their homeland. In the real world where Zhang Yuanqing lives, the name "Beiwang" is as common as "founding a country" and "founding an army."
So the name Wang Beiwang actually has no literary connotation. Uncle Wang cares about this cheap nephew very much. When he heard that his nephew had not found a job, he patted his chest and promised to help find it.
Zhang Yuanqing thanked him and said, "I want to follow my cousin."
"What's wrong with living a few more years?" Wang Beiwang handed over a handful of leftover beans and said unhappily, "You are weak and your limbs are weak. Women are stronger than you. Just stay at home and recuperate!" Then he took out three taels of silver from his pocket and said, "Here."
Three taels of silver is a lot of money. In the economically prosperous capital of the Southern Dynasties, a strong laborer only earned two taels of silver a month.
"Thank you, cousin." Zhang Yuanqing accepted it with a smile and planned to leave it by the bed tomorrow!
We definitely can't stay here, but it's already dark and it's even more dangerous outside because of the curfew. We can only stay here for one night and then go to Tianji Tower to meet the Palace Master and others tomorrow.
Uncle Wang chewed a few mouthfuls of beans and frowned. His dark face showed a trace of worry. "I heard that His Majesty wants to use 300 boys and girls to sacrifice to the heaven!"
"Stupid emperor." Wang Beiwang sneered.
"It's best for him to hide in the palace forever. If he goes out for fun, I will stab him to death." As soon as he finished speaking, he saw his cousin lift up a small stool and move it away.
"Cousin, why are you sitting so far away?"
"My cousin is very sharp. I'm afraid I'll be stabbed to death by you."
Uncle Wang said angrily, "Your cousin is reminding you not to keep talking about tyrants and tyrants. Sooner or later, you will die in this mouth of a wicked man."
Wang Beiwang retorted, "Dad, didn't you give me this name because you want me to be loyal to my country?"
"What does bravery and fierceness have to do with loyalty to the country?"
Wang Beiwang lowered his head and ate a handful of beans, changing the subject. "Dad, don't worry. The boy and girl will probably be found in the village outside the city. Xiao Xiu'er will be fine. I came back today to tell you that I will be out of town for a few days. I don't know when I can come back!"
“Maybe I won’t be able to come back!”
Zhang Yuanqing immediately sensed the other party's strange mood and asked hurriedly: "Why did my cousin ask you to leave the city?"
"Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask!"
Wang Beiwang popped beans into his mouth, not giving Zhang Yuanqing a chance to get information. At this time, his aunt, Jiang Jingwei and the queen each came out with two plates of food.
The three men carried the benches and left the patio and came into the hall. The dinner was simple, four vegetarian dishes and two meat dishes, only fish and meatloaf. The family was not rich but they could afford meat.
After dinner, the family dispersed around the dining table. The queen, Wang Xiu and her aunt stayed behind to clean up the leftovers. Jiang Jingwei, who had lacked education in this area since childhood, followed Zhang Yuanqing into the house to sleep after eating. Zhang Yuanqing was lying on the bed.
A quarter of an hour later, the queen pushed the door open. Seeing her close the door, Zhang Yuanqing said, "Tomorrow is the last day. The dangers of the second phase may all be concentrated tomorrow. Don't take it lightly. We will leave at dawn!"
The queen nodded in agreement, "It's very dangerous today. Fortunately, Wang Beiwang's cultivation is not strong, otherwise the hypnotic props of the extraordinary realm may not be able to affect him!"
The two had just chatted for a few words when they heard Jiang Jingwei's snoring. Zhang Yuanqing took a pill to cure the disease, injected himself with the diluted source of life, and sighed, "Go to sleep. I really envy the Fire Master."
He huddled under the quilt. The queen blew out the oil lamp and the room fell into darkness. After an unknown amount of time, Zhang Yuanqing suddenly felt a chill coming from the top of his head, as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water on him in the dead of winter. He became conscious instantly.
Beside him were Jiang Jingwei and the queen who were treated the same way. A few meters away stood Wang Beiwang, leaning on his sword, with a wooden barrel leaning at his feet.
The unshaven man asked in a deep voice, "Where are you three from?"
