Stunning weapon

() Early next morning.On the road from the small town to Cangzhou, a middle-aged man with a long sword wrapped in rags on his back and a two-inch beard on his face was driving a tall gray horse. carriage.In the carriage behind him, a handsome little daughter-in-law was sitting next to him, her hair was combed high, she was wearing a light pink dress, her face was covered by a piece of tulle, but she could still see Her beauty can be seen from her eyes and figure, and beside her, there is also a long sword, the whole sword is vermilion in color, which matches her very well.

These two people are Mo Xiaochuan and Ye Xin. ..

Mo Xiaochuan thought for a long time last night, and finally came up with a way to deceive others.That is, all the people who know their information are nothing more than the recognition of the Big Dipper and the Little Black Horse, plus their youthful appearance.

Then, if you cover up these things yourself, you will at least succeed. Of course, this alone is not enough. Xiao Chuan can't even discard them, so they can only change their appearance, but they can't change their essence.

In this way, some other conditions are needed. If I catch Ye Xin, I think some of the people who are chasing me will save her because of it.And they never dreamed that they are getting along well with Ye Xin now, and they will never use any coercive means. As long as Ye Xin cooperates, they will definitely escape most eyes. Method.After all, no matter what you do to cover up, you can't completely cover it up.For the second time, he also specially bought a carriage without a sedan chair. The purpose of doing this was just to reduce the number of inspections.Because, if there are officers and soldiers in the city, these cars and sedans that can hide people will inevitably be the focus of the interrogation. ..

Ye Xin sat on the side, still a little angry with Mo Xiaochuan, looking at his originally white long sword, which was dyed red by him, still felt a little distressed.

Mo Xiaochuan was in a good mood, he kept stroking his beard, and turned his head to tease Ye Xin: "Miss, are you tired? Would you like some water? Would you like me to rub your shoulders?" Squeeze your legs..."

At this time, Ye Xin always lowered his head, blushing on his face.

Seeing her like this, Mo Xiaochuan always laughed heartily.

The two walked together like this. Before, Mo Xiaochuan felt that carrying Ye Xin was somewhat cumbersome, but now he felt that without her, it would be difficult for him.

After half a day, Cangzhou City is in sight.

After entering the city, Mo Xiaochuan felt relieved when he saw that it was not as serious as he had imagined. It seemed that Ye Xin was right. Ye Zhanyun's love of face gave him a chance.In this way, he is not in a hurry to hurry, because most people flee for their lives, they should run crazily, and they are afraid that they will be caught up if they stop.

But Mo Xiaochuan thinks at this moment that since things are not that bad, there must not be many people chasing after them, and among these people, they must be elites and tracking masters. Manhunts were different.

The target they choose must be suspicious.And the one who was in a hurry was naturally one of the suspicious ones.

Thinking of this, Mo Xiaochuan simply got out of the carriage, stretched out his hand, grabbed Ye Xin's little hand, and helped her down as well.Touching Mo Xiaochuan's hand, Ye Xin's face flushed slightly, and he withdrew his hand when he got off the carriage.

Mo Xiaochuan didn't mind either, he held the horse in one hand and the wine bag in the other, and after a while, he took a sip, his face full of satisfaction.

Ye Xin followed beside him like a shy little daughter-in-law.

The two were walking on the road, and from time to time, Mo Xiaochuan ran to the stalls selling small things on the side of the road, looking around, and within half an hour, Mo Xiaochuan and Ye Xin took many small things in his hands.

After strolling around for a while, Mo Xiaochuan also wanted to relax himself. The initial sense of relaxation passed, and Mo Xiaochuan lost interest.The tavern search has begun.Just when he saw a tavern and was about to turn around and call Ye Xin, he suddenly saw Ye Xin staring at a rabbit made of ceramics with a smile on his face.

Mo Xiaochuan came to her side with some doubts, and asked, "Like it?"

Ye Xin thought for a while, then nodded slightly.

Mo Xiaochuan walked over and said, "Boss, how much is this?"

"Ten money." A middle-aged man hurried up to solicit business.

When Ye Xin heard this, it only cost ten dollars to make such a beautiful thing. Besides, she lived in the palace since she was a child, and she didn't have a clear concept of money, so she couldn't help but want to reach out for it.But Mo Xiaochuan grabbed her hand, shook his head, and said: "It's too expensive, look at your rabbit, you look like a hooligan rabbit, you don't have the slightest demeanor of Bugs Bunny. No, no, it's cheaper... ..."

The boss has never heard of rogue rabbits and Bugs Bunny, but he is just a small businessman, so he would not think that what Mo Xiaochuan said is not a product of this world. He knows that he is ignorant and has never heard of it. These.Therefore, thinking that Mo Xiaochuan was an expert, he said: "Since this brother said so, then eight dollars."

"Boss, are you bullying me? I don't understand? Or are you robbing it outright? How can it cost eight dollars? Look at the big die of this rabbit. It looks like a saber-toothed tiger. How can it be so long and so sharp? What? Does this rabbit seem to eat grass? This is clearly a rabbit that eats meat. Have you ever seen a rabbit that eats meat? " Mo Xiaochuan said eloquently.

The boss hesitated for a moment, and said, "Then, five dollars, nothing less."

"Look at this red lacquer, how can it be painted on the tail of a rabbit? Have you ever seen a rabbit with a red butt? The one with the red butt is a monkey, okay? Besides, the inside of the rabbit's ears should be red, how can it be painted on?" What about the white one? I think this rabbit is clearly a poorly made defective product, definitely not worth the price..."

"..."

"Besides, when you do business, you should make small profits but sell more, so as to attract customers. If you come up and ask for prices, don't you want to scare people away? Besides..."

"..."

"Again..."

"..."

Mo Xiaochuan was speechless for a while, and he was speechless at what the boss said. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Brother, I haven't seen anyone like you. Okay. It's the first one anyway, so I'll take it according to the cost. I'll give you the price, three dollars, if you still think it's too expensive, I won't sell it..."

"Okay, then three." Mo Xiaochuan paid the money and took the ceramic rabbit and handed it to Ye Xin. Ye Xin looked at Mo Xiaochuan with a look of shock at the moment.She never thought that a man who is the king of Xiliang County would bargain wildly for ten yuan...

"How is it, do you like it?" Mo Xiaochuan asked.

"Hi, like..." Ye Xin subconsciously replied.

Mo Xiaochuan picked up a hairpin next to it. This hairpin is just an ordinary iron product with a rabbit inlaid on it. Mo Xiaochuan picked up this again and said, "Boss, how much is this?"

"Ten copper coins..." the boss replied.

"What, ten? Look at the rabbit above, it doesn't look like a rabbit at all, let alone Bugs Bunny, I think it's even worse than a rogue rabbit. Looking at this hairpin, it's clearly..."

Seeing that Mo Xiaochuan was about to start again, the boss hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, brother, five dollars, no less..."

"What about this one?" Mo Xiaochuan picked up another pair of earrings, which were also inlaid with small ceramic rabbits.

"This rabbit is not even as good as a rogue rabbit, four dollars." The boss seemed to like Mo Xiaochuan's choice of rabbit things, so it was useless for Mo Xiaochuan to say, so he opened his mouth directly.

Mo Xiaochuan laughed, and said: "The boss really has eyesight." After finishing speaking, he dropped a piece of silver and said, "I want it all, so there's no need to look for it."

The boss looked at Mo Xiaochuan dumbfounded, what is this guy doing here?He haggled the price for a long time, and in the end he gave him several times the original price. Why did he come here?

Seeing the boss's doubts, Mo Xiaochuan said: "The reason why I return the price with you is because I don't think he is worth the price, and the reason why I give more money is because I think that if my wife brings these, their value will be lower." It's more than that."

The boss nodded in a daze, and then the clothes suddenly realized, and said: "So that's the case. Unexpectedly, you are still a person who values ​​love."

Mo Xiaochuan handed all the things into Ye Xin's hands, led the horse, and led Ye Xin to stride forward.

Ye Xin looked at Mo Xiaochuan and then at the rabbit ornament in his hand, bit his lip lightly, and said, "Mo, Mo Xiaochuan...you..."

"Uh! Hush!" Mo Xiaochuan hurriedly stopped her, and said, "You can't call me by my name, you have to call me Husband. Unless you want me to be killed right now..."

Ye Xin's heart tightened, he nodded slightly, and said, "I was negligent."

"You want to ask me why I did that before?" Mo Xiaochuan said, "Actually, I'm not so bored that I need to use these to pass the time. It's just that seeing these reminds me of my life back then."

"What was your life back then?" Ye Xin only knew that Mo Xiaochuan had left for the Northern Xinjiang Camp and went to Xiliang, and later became the King of Chenjun in Xiliang. When he came to Yan Kingdom again, he was already an envoy. , for others, she doesn't know much.At this moment, hearing what Mo Xiaochuan said, I couldn't help being curious, and couldn't help asking: "What happened to you back then?"

"Actually, I was like them back then. Maybe you wouldn't believe me when I told you. I once fought with people over a bun. I fought with people over a few copper coins. This bargaining ability was the foundation of my life back then. The life of the common people is really not easy. I have also done business selling such gadgets, but it is not as big as that boss. Therefore, I also sympathize with him, so I finally gave him some money."

"So it's because of this." Ye Xin was originally happy because of what Mo Xiaochuan said to the boss earlier, but now hearing Mo Xiaochuan's explanation, Ye Xin felt a little lost for some reason.He lowered his head.

After a while, he raised his head and said, "So you have lived such a life. I never thought about it. Logically speaking, with your ability, how could you..."

"So what about this kind of ability? At the beginning, Yan State didn't allow me. When I went to Xiliang, I was a fugitive from Yan State. It was too late to hide, so I dared to attract attention. When you are penniless, you say What can I do?" Mo Xiaochuan shook his head and said, "This is still me, think about how other people live. Those who are emperors, ministers, and governors, who can do it? I really feel the suffering of the people. The emperor and the prime minister look at the strength of the country. How can they annex other countries? How can they get more benefits from the war? What Zhizhou thinks is how to get promoted and get rich Being able to deceive the superior and the inferior...Of course, officials are not always thinking about themselves, but most of them are thinking about themselves. In fact, the common people don’t expect much from officials, and they don’t expect officials to be able to Completely abandon yourself and think about them, they just think about how fair these officials can do things, so that they will not be bullied too much."

Speaking of this, Mo Xiaochuan sighed and said: "In fact, throughout the ages, many good officials who have been paid homage to by the people have not done anything beyond themselves. Most of them are just doing things impartially. In fact , What they do is only their own duty, but the common people are grateful to them, it can be seen that there are not many officials who can do their duty."

Ye Xin listened to Mo Xiaochuan's words, and thoughtfully said: "If you become the emperor, what would you do?" After finishing speaking, a pair of eyes looked at Mo Xiaochuan tightly, and his face became tense, because, for With this, she felt that she was already a little disobedient.Mo Xiaochuan was originally just a county king, but Xiliang still had a prince.

When Mo Xiaochuan heard this, he was slightly taken aback, then shook his head and said, "Do you want to be an emperor? I really don't understand why so many people want to be an emperor. In fact, I think that among the officials in the world, the emperor is the most tiring. They are being flattered every day, and there is not even a close person around them. Look at the emperor of your Yan country, he is not a foolish king. But so what? Even if the people don't say it, they will definitely think that what he has done is not good enough. Look at his three sons, one by one, fighting for power and profit, and finally turning against each other. If it weren't for the prestige he has accumulated over the years, he would still be able to hold back If so, I even feel that Ye Yi and Ye Bo, as long as they kill him and become emperors themselves, they will do it without hesitation. What do you think is better about being emperors?"

Listening to Mo Xiaochuan's remarks, Ye Xin found it very strange. Throughout the ages, how many people dreamed of becoming an emperor, but Mo Xiaochuan would not want to do it. She didn't believe it, and said, "What you said can only be an example. , some emperors can still be kind to their fathers and filial to their sons. Besides, if you become an emperor, you will rule the world, be worshiped by thousands of people, and admired by future generations. Don’t you men all say that you will do something earth-shattering? On a par with this?"

Mo Xiaochuan shook his head with a smile, and said: "It is true that being an emperor will bring you great power, and you can do things that ordinary people cannot do, but you also have to lose some things that ordinary people will not lose. Power is tempting, but, I I feel that I can't give up what I have now for the sake of power, so I don't want to think about these things, I don't want to think about them."

Ye Xin wanted to say something, but Mo Xiaochuan's eyes lit up, staring at a tavern in front of him, he took her hand, ran forward, came to the door, and shouted loudly: "Little Er, help me!" I'll get the horses settled. Quickly..."

Xiaoer ran out from the store, greeted him with a smile, and led Mo Xiaochuan's horse over. Afterwards, Mo Xiaochuan did not let go of Ye Xin's hand, and kept holding her hand until he came to a fairly clean table. After sitting down, he said: "Okay, let's stop the previous topic. In fact, there are many people who can't do what they want to do. They can't be the people they want to be. We can do this now. , I feel very happy already. So, it’s useless to think too much, just let it go.” After finishing speaking, he raised his head and shouted: “Shopkeeper, serve the wine, the best wine, two jars.”

"Okay." The tavern looked pretty good, just as Mo Xiaochuan shouted, a waiter ran over, not the one who led the horse before, and came to Mo Xiaochuan, saying: "Guest officer, The wine will be served to you immediately, what do you want to eat?"

Mo Xiaochuan thought for a while, and said: "Beef, a large piece of beef. Two catties, and other side dishes, you can serve them according to what the kitchen is good at. However, you need a bowl of chicken soup and some sweets, you can figure it out. "After that, I threw some broken silver in the past.

Xiaoer took the money, smiled all over his face, and hurriedly said: "Okay, just wait a moment, the beef and wine will be here soon."

Mo Xiaochuan nodded. Recently, he likes the feeling of using money as a reward. After giving money, he feels at ease and justified, and the attitude of the other party will be very good to you. Moreover, Mo Xiaochuan is not short of money now. This little money, therefore, is getting more and more generous.

After a while, the beef and wine were brought up, along with four side dishes, the waiter said, "Guest officer, you can use these first, and the little one is instructing the kitchen to prepare them for you. We are good at it here." There are ten kinds, but five are the most famous ones, let me tell you, the first one is Qinghe's..."

"Okay!" Mo Xiaochuan waved his hand and said: "I trust you, it doesn't matter what you do, as long as you don't go too far, let the next table think that this uncle is his mother's prodigal. There is a reward."

Xiao Er smiled and said cheerfully: "Okay, okay, take your time, I'll prepare it now, little one."

Mo Xiaochuan nodded and waved his hand.Xiao Er then ran away, suddenly Mo Xiaochuan thought of something, and shouted again: "Come back."

"Master Ke, what other orders do you have?" After giving the money, the waiter's address was changed.

Mo Xiaochuan took out some broken silver and said, "Take care of the horse for me."

"Don't worry." The waiter put away the money and ran away in a hurry.

Mo Xiaochuan picked up a piece of beef on the table and threw it into his mouth, lifted the jar, took a few sips, let out a soft "ah!", and said, "Not bad, good wine." After finishing speaking, he pointed to the dishes on the table , Said to Ye Xin: "Miss, you should take some too. I need to take medicine later. I haven't eaten for half a day. If my stomach feels nauseous, it will be bad."

When Mo Xiaochuan left, he had already brought the pills that the middle-aged man had ordered to make early in the morning, so now Ye Xin only needs to take some pills, and he doesn't have to work hard to drink those nasty soups.

Ye Xin nodded slightly, grabbed the chopsticks, set up the food on the table, and was about to take it to her mouth, but the beef in Mo Xiaochuan's hand was brought to her lips, and said: "Try it, it's very good. "

Ye Xin habitually opened his mouth, took the beef in his mouth, chewed it lightly, nodded, and said, "Compared with the food these days, it's really good."

"That's what I'm talking about. This person can't always enjoy happiness, sometimes he should suffer, otherwise, he doesn't know what to eat or drink. As far as those high-ranking officials are concerned, they have nothing to do all day I was researching what to eat, but felt that everything I ate was tasteless and tasteless. However, ordinary people are different. If they have half a catty of pork, they will think of its deliciousness before eating it. This sense of expectation and satisfaction, but Not everyone can have it. The higher the status, the harder it may be to get it." Mo Xiaochuan said while chewing the beef.For some reason, when he was with Ye Xin, he always felt that this girl was too simple and didn't even have any thoughts of his own, so when he was free, he wanted to talk about his own opinions, and wanted to hear what she thought.

Ye Xin glanced at him, as if to say, you are not a high-ranking official, but of course she herself, at this moment, she can't say this, then she thought about it, shook her head slightly, and said: "Actually, people's What you want is different, and what you expect is naturally different. You never knew that high officials and nobles can't satisfy themselves with food. It's just that they have already satisfied themselves."

"Pursuing this thing is really hard to say. Each person has his own opinion. Some people think that other people's pursuit is too bad to be compared with their own. They also feel that other people's satisfaction comes from no reason, and even bark their noses. , give contempt. However, these are not important, the important thing is fundamental. Is the satisfaction brought by a bowl of pork for ordinary people and a bowl of gold for those high-ranking officials really different?" Mo Xiaochuan shook Shaking his head, he said: "I don't think so. Since they are all satisfied, what brings about the difference? What is the pursuit of a person's life? In fact, I think happiness and happiness are fundamental. What people do It is all because of these. The more those who strive to pursue a higher level, the more they lack these things, so they will continue to pursue them. Of course, when ordinary people look at them, they may be very envious or even yearning for them. , dreaming that one day they can do the same, but what about them themselves?"

Mo Xiaochuan's words seemed to hit Ye Xin's heart heavily this time, especially the last sentence, which seemed to be asking, what about you?

Ye Xin slowly put down his chopsticks, frowned and pondered, what Mo Xiaochuan said was unreasonable, he really lacked this kind of thing, he had never thought about it before, so life was very ordinary, but also very tasteless.Now that I think about it, I feel that I really hope that I am just a son and daughter of an ordinary family, so that I don't have to think about the struggle between nations, and I can do things according to my own temperament.

When she was with Mo Xiaochuan during this time, she felt that she had never grown up like this.And, most likely, there won't be any in the future.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a little lost, watching Mo Xiaochuan drinking alone, suddenly, I had an idea in my heart, since I might not have these things in the future, why not hurry up now.Allow yourself to enjoy the moment.

Looking at the wine jar, she suddenly passed the bowl in front of her and said, "Can I drink some too?"

Mo Xiaochuan's eyes widened. Is this girl crazy today?A few days ago, she offered her to drink by herself, and she resisted so much, she was so happy with the poison she hadn't taken yet, but now she actually asked for a drink.

Looking at Ye Xin, Mo Xiaochuan didn't pour her wine right away, but looked at her in surprise, and said, "Do you really want to drink?"

Ye Xin nodded and said, "I really want to drink!"

Mo Xiaochuan smiled and said: "Okay." After finishing speaking, he picked up the wine jar and served it to Ye Xinman, and said: "This is the first time I drink alcohol, I really can't drink the taste, I only feel that it is spicy, which is better If the wine is poor, it will still be sour and bitter. However, these must be held back. For the first time, do not swallow it in a hurry. Hold it in your mouth and feel it until your lips numb. The wine doesn't seem to be so spicy and difficult to drink, so I swallow it slowly. When swallowing, don't be too fast, but slow down, and you have to endure the feeling of wanting to vomit, until the stomach feels like Light a fire, warm, this is the best, the second time, it is still the same, after repeated several times, you will like this feeling."

Ye Xin nodded according to his words, picked up the wine bowl and took a sip, resisting the urge to spit it out, and swallowed it according to what Mo Xiaochuan said, but her feeling was still somewhat different from what Mo Xiaochuan said Yes, a beautiful face is also deformed, it looks very painful.

"How? How?" Mo Xiaochuan asked expectantly.

Ye Xin shook his head slightly, and said, "Why do I feel a little hot in my stomach? It's not warm, but very hot."

Mo Xiaochuan slapped his thigh and said: "Ah, you didn't eat a bite, so it will happen naturally. Forget about this, eat some quickly..." He grabbed the beef and stuffed it into Ye Xin's mouth. Xin's mouth couldn't fit anymore, so he watched Ye Xin keep chewing with his small mouth puffed up, and he was laughing foolishly aside.

At this moment, suddenly, a person sitting next to him stood up, came to this side and laughed, "What a bunch of sweet couples..."
