I have a weird dynasty

Chapter 141: Flattery (asking for monthly ticket)

In early autumn, the forests are painted in all colors, and carriages, horses and pedestrians move slowly along the forest paths.

A black donkey pulled the cart, a black cat jumped onto the roof and ate fallen leaves. A girl with long black hair sat on the shaft of the cart, swinging her legs, holding snacks and looking at the passers-by on the roadside. Her cheeks were bulging, and she ate like a little squirrel, shaking her head and looking leisurely.

Qin Ze, dressed as a corpse retriever and wearing a pointed hat, was riding on his horse, all wet. When passers-by saw him, they pulled their family members and children away from him.

Qin Ze sighed and spat out the grass leaves in his mouth. Thinking that he would be able to see his wife and the two brats when he returned to Wangshan City, Qin Ze felt... conflicted!
It’s not that he doesn’t love his wife and children, it’s just that he is pretending to be a corpse retriever and is a bachelor!
He was a bachelor whose lover had died. Although he was pretending to be a corpse catcher, he actually felt guilty about stealing someone. That was obviously the woman he married in a formal ceremony. If he returned home, would the corpse catcher lose control and hurt his wife and two sons?
How can this be good?

Qin Ze stretched his neck to look at the donkey cart in front of him, wanting to ask Sang Que for advice, but Sang Que was chatting excitedly with Xiao Liu.

"...Sister Mulan, you don't know that our captain is actually a pitiful man..."

Xiaoliu patted his thigh, his face full of heartache.

Sangque actually just asked one question, but Xiaoliu talked all the way.

"Although I don't know where my captain came from in Shengjing, he came to this remote Qinzhou when he was fifteen. He must have a bad relationship with his family. Who knows, he might have encountered the dirty things that are rumored in the streets, such as his father favoring his concubine and neglecting his wife, and mistreating his wife and son."

Sangque pulled the reins expressionlessly. Xiaoliu talked so much that she couldn't tell what was true and what was false.

Also, Xiaoliu doesn’t even know He Buning’s family, so how does he know that he is the legitimate son of the wife?

This Xiaoliu, the filter for his captain is thicker than the corner of the city wall. In Xiaoliu's eyes, He Bu Ning is a beautiful, strong and miserable person.

Xiao Liu continued, "Don't underestimate our captain because he is kind-hearted and capable. He is also really pitiful. You have also seen our captain's Yin Fire. Others envy our captain and say that our captain's Yin Fire will not backfire like the evil spirits of the Yin people, so it can be used at will."

"But no one knows that our captain's Yin Fire is burning his life! Every time he uses up his Yin Fire, his Yin Qi corrodes his body and he becomes very weak. He has to take medicine all year round and still insists on doing everything himself."

Speaking of this, Sang Que discovered that He Bu Ning's Yin Fire was indeed very special. Yin Fire was not a kind of evil spirit, so He Bu Ning was not actually a walking ghost.

The feeling of this Yin Fire is similar to that of a ghost like Xia Chan. Could it be that He Bu Ning's Yin Fire was not something he was born with, but entered his body later in life, making him not a ghost, but having the same abilities as a ghost.

Therefore, he was not mentally retarded like Xia Chan, but with the continuous use of Yin Fire, he would become short-lived and could not escape the fate of dying young.

"Sixth brother," Sang Que interrupted Xiao Liu's sentimental speech, "I'm just asking a question casually. If you think it's inappropriate, you don't have to answer. Your captain's flintlock rifle is quite novel. Where did he get it? I've never seen such a thing before."

Xiaoliu leaned against the carriage and said, "Don't talk about you. I can guarantee that the entire Xuan Dynasty has never seen such a thing before. I didn't know it before, and I heard about it from my fifth brother. You don't know that my fifth brother came from Shengjing with our captain."

"My fifth brother is very tight-lipped. You can't pry his mouth open even with a knife. If he hadn't become talkative due to the backlash of the Yin Object, I really wouldn't have been able to find out. Fifth brother said that the flintlock and Yin Fire were given to him by our captain's mother."

Sang Que's eyes gradually deepened, "Then his mother must love him very much."

"Hmph~" Xiao Liu suddenly snorted, "I don't think so. My fifth brother said that our lieutenant's mother abandoned him when he was five years old, taking only his unborn sister with him. That's why I said that our lieutenant is pitiful. He was so young without his mother by his side. It must be because his father favored his concubine and neglected his wife that he became like this!"

Sang Que took a while to react and thought that the idea of ​​favoring a concubine and destroying his wife must be Xiaoliu's own imagination and cannot be believed for the time being.

but……

"How do you know it's a sister before she's born?" Sang Que asked.

Xiaoliu's sentimental words came to an abrupt halt, and he was stunned for a moment, "Eh? Right, she hasn't been born yet, how do you know it's a girl? My fifth brother didn't tell me at the time, and I wanted to ask, but my fifth brother recovered and beat me up, so I couldn't ask anymore."

Sang Que laughed. If she were him, she would have beaten him up. It was too mean to ask questions when someone was unable to resist the side effects of the Yin Wu. Fortunately, Xiao Liu asked about He Bu Ning. If he asked about Xiao Wu's private matters, he would have been killed by Xiao Wu. What kind of Yin Wu, the side effects were actually irresistible. Whatever you asked, Sang Que really wanted to know.

Xiaoliu rubbed his knees, and finally remembered his task of asking questions.

"Well, Sister Mulan, you haven't told me yet, how did you and Sister Xiaochan know each other? You are definitely not sisters. You don't look alike at all."

Sang Que sideways glanced at Xiao Liu, wondering why he was so persistent in finding out about Xia Chan?

Could it be that he has taken a fancy to Xia Chan?

Or did He Buning discover that Xia Chan was a ghost and wanted to test him?
"By the way, you haven't married yet, right? Is your lieutenant also not married?"

"Of course! Who would dare to marry someone who follows our lieutenant in the wind and rain and spends the night on horseback? Wouldn't marrying him harm the girl?"

"Our lieutenant didn't have that intention at all. The governor of Qinzhou wanted to marry his second daughter to our lieutenant, but our lieutenant was too mean. He agreed on the surface, and then asked me to send the birth date and horoscope to the governor. When the governor saw that it was a fate that would bring bad luck to his relatives, he immediately kept silent."

"Is your lieutenant really destined to bring bad luck to his relatives?"

"That's definitely not the case. My captain's current name is probably not real. He has another identity in Shengjing."

"Then why did he have to come to Qinzhou?"

"I heard from Fifth Brother that he was looking for his sister."

"Not looking for your mother?"

"From what I have observed, my captain seems to have confirmed that his mother has passed away and only his sister is still alive."

Sang Que's heart sank, he turned around to look at Xiao Liu and asked, "His mother left him a long time ago, and he can't even find his sister, how can he be sure that his mother has passed away?"

Xiao Liu shrugged, "How would I know? Anyway, our lieutenant was indeed deeply hurt by his mother. I hope our lieutenant can find his sister as soon as possible. If his father can't do it, at least he still has a close relative by his side. Otherwise, our lieutenant would be too lonely. Looking at his appearance, he is probably afraid that he will die young, so he doesn't plan to get married."

"What about you? Do you have a girl you like? Are you planning to get married?" Sang Que asked again.

Xiao Liu smiled bitterly, "Now I think female ghosts are pretty and pretty, I really don't have any idea about girls. People like us who deal with evil spirits every day have too much evil energy on us, which will bring harm to our relatives. It's really better not to harm others."

Sangque understood, so Xiaoliu was no longer interested in Xiachan.

Call——

Sang Que pulled the reins and said, "Sixth brother, we have arrived at the post station."

Hearing this, Xiaoliu's jaw dropped. "Ah? They're here already, so fast?"

He hasn't asked anything yet! Xiaoliu suddenly wanted to slap himself. What had he done all this time?
Feeling that Sang Que was driving the donkey cart into the post station, Xiao Liu gritted his teeth and said directly to Sang Que, "Miss Sang, let me tell you directly, our captain actually suspects that Xiao Chan is his long-lost sister. Can you please be kind and answer a few questions for me? Help me, and help our captain as well."

Xiaoliu thought that if he had the ability to say that kind of words, he would not have waited until his fifth brother was in the backlash of the evil spirit before asking about his family's captain.

The donkey cart suddenly stopped and Xiaoliu was almost thrown out of the cart.

Sangque suddenly pulled the reins and looked at Xiaoliu in surprise. Xiachan had not been interested in what Xiaoliu said all the way, but she understood this sentence. She turned her face full of sad marks and looked at Xiaoliu and Sangque blankly, blinking her round eyes.
