Chapter 231 Good and Evil (5)(1/2)
Xu Changan walked out of the auction house with Xiao Qingshuang and Xiaobai on his back, and Ma San and Chang Moche.
They had no intention of hiding, and walked out openly, and Xu Changan even held the box that had been placed on the ring and was guarded by heavy soldiers in his hand.
The box swayed back and forth with Xu Chang'an's pace, like a wind chime in front of a girl in the water town of Jiangnan. When the wind chime swings, it always snatches the hearts of people; now the box swings back and forth, it also stirs the hearts of these big men who are licking blood on their heads.
Xu Changan's long sword was placed in the backpack, and both swords were wrapped tightly, and even the hilt was not exposed. Xiao Qingshuang slept in the backpack all night last night. At this time, her eyes were a little confused and looked around from time to time, just like those newborn birds who saw the world for the first time. Her eyes were full of curiosity, and she stood on the tight hilts wrapped in cloth, just like she stood on stilts. The morning wind was a little cold, and the noise of small vendors came from her ears, and a sweet smell came from her nose.
In this vast desert, the scenery is the best in the morning and evening.
In the evening, the first evening breeze dispelled the heat here with the coolness. The wind blew on the face, which hurt a little, but it was also comfortable, just like scrubbing a bath in Tongzhou in the north. Although it was painful, it was also happy.
And in the sky, the setting sun is like blood.
The cool breeze was like the sun that God had been basking for a whole day. Finally, he found a shaded place and let out a long sigh.
And in the morning, the sky was filled with red clouds.
The darkness and coldness of the night were dispelled by the first ray of sunshine. The wind was very warm and it hit everyone's faces, which were also warm.
On both sides of the street, many Loulan people started to make milk and make cakes.
Although the place is quite chaotic, the early business can always be done. Although these business people always have a knife under the table or under the burden.
The morning wind brought the scent of milk to Xu Chang'an and his group's noses.
Xu Changan stopped, and the box that was shaking with his pace also stopped.
"Is it good with camel milk?"
Xu Changan's head slightly tilted backwards. Xiao Qingshuang, who had originally widened her curious eyes, could see Brother Xu's side face.
"Camel milk is a rare thing in the Holy Dynasty. We can also serve with cakes later."
Before Xiao Qingshuang could answer, Xu Changan continued.
At this time, Sun Guang just ran over. Xiao Qingshuang looked at Xu Changan's side face, and the gentle Brother Xu's side face seemed to be glowing.
"Um."
Xiao Qingshuang nodded gently and glanced around her.
At this time, there were already many people on the streets, and they would always glance at this place inadvertently, making Xiao Qingshuang feel a little uncomfortable.
After hearing Xiao Qingshuang's answer, Xu Changan continued to take steps, and the box began to sway like a wind chime.
They found a stall with a few tattered tables in it.
Xu Changan put down his back basket and placed it beside him. He did not let Xiao Qingshuang come out, but just looked at Xiao Qingshuang with a smile and said, "It's cold, you can just be inside, I'll feed you later."
Xu Changan's voice was as gentle as coaxing a child. Ma San didn't find it strange. In his eyes, although Xu Changan, the Marquis of Zhongyi, had a lot of blood on his hands, he was still a gentle person in general.
But only Chang Moche understood that not letting Xiao Qingshuang come out was to prevent others from seeing another box.
They ordered four bowls of camel milk and four cakes. Ma San glanced around and found that more and more big men passed by them. This was a small stall that was not very good in the past. At this time, because of the arrival of the few of them, the business was unreasonable.
Even this stall owner rented some tables from other stall owners at a high price to sit down.
Xu Changan and his team were surrounded by groups, and they seemed to be stuffed with buns.
Ma San looked at the situation around him and naturally knew what the big men wanted to do. He looked at Xu Changan and found that Xu Changan was also looking at him. A hurriedly threw the cake in his hand into the camel's milk, wishing he could bury his head in the bowl.
The murder and treasure hunting are not uncommon in Loulan. It is just like going out to drink a bowl of camel milk in the morning. Moreover, if you kill someone, you just need to throw the body away and don’t make the street too ugly. The royal family in Loulan will not care about these nostalgic things. Xu Changan did not hurry and took one by himself and fed Xiao Qingshuang a bite.
After about two quarters of an hour, the sunlight illuminated the place, and the originally warm wind became hotter.
Xu Changan glanced at the box and the basket placed beside him, stood up first, carried Xiao Qingshuang on his back, and then reached out to the box where everyone's eyes were gathering.
Xu Changan lifted the box with Xiaobai and Xiao Qingshuang on his back, and Chang Moche stood up immediately. Ma San seemed a little clumsy and hurriedly, and there was some camel milk at the corner of his mouth, and hurriedly stood up, wiped his mouth with his sleeves, and followed closely behind Chang Moche.
Xu Changan walked towards the stall owner. The stall owner was a middle-aged man who looked honest and always had a smile on his face.
"Xie Keguan's patronage is forty coins. If it is a copper coins from the Holy Dynasty, it is enough to have eight ceremonies."
Xu Changan put his hand into his arms and then approached the stall owner. The two of them made a "sweeping their ears" action.
"I owe the silver first, and you have to deal with these troubles for me."
Xu Changan's voice was not loud, but he did not confiscate it either.
When the stall owner heard this, the smile on his face instantly frozen.
With a hint of fear and embarrassment on his face, he took a step back and rubbed his hands and said, "Customer, this... I don't have the ability to do business!"
Xu Changan straightened up, stared at the stall owner's eyes, and said lightly: "You have."
Then he turned his eyes and looked at the bottom of the stall, where there was a knife. It was normal for the small stall to place the knife, but the knife was not normal. It was a nine-toothed chain machete from the Holy Dynasty.
The stall owner looked at Xu Changan's gaze and immediately showed an awkward smile. He hurriedly explained: "We are so messy in the land. You should know that it is normal for everyone to come out to make a living."
Xu Changan looked at the stubborn stall owner, shook his head, sighed and said, "It's not normal. We have been following a group of people all the way. This is messy, but no one wants to cause trouble. The rest of the stall owners are hiding from us far away. You are the only one, not."
The stall owner remembered what his owner told him, and there were fine beads of sweat on his forehead, but he still said, "Customer, my family is poor. Nowadays, I have been brave enough to starve to death and the timid people..."
Before he could finish his words, Xu Changan interrupted him, with a confident smile on his face.
"On the whole street, everyone was curious about my box and wanted this box that was related to legendary treasures, except for you."
The smile on the stall owner's face disappeared.
"Your master is the Lord, right? Are you investigating my background? But I guess he should not find out anything. Your task should be to delay our time. If no one takes action against us, you should take action. If someone takes action, you will create chaos."
Xu Changan looked at the stall owner, and his face was full of horror, looking at Xu Changan like a monster; while Xu Changan still had a smile on his face, confident and brilliant.
"Your owner can't find out my background. He should be waiting for me in the inn now. You can solve the problem here."
When the stall owner heard this, he raised his head and saw Xu Changan whispering to him: "Thank you for me and the Lord. He trusts me and does not humiliate his mission. He leads everyone here. If the Lord captures all these people, it will definitely be another great achievement!"
The previous sentence made the stall owner think Xu Changan was smart, but the stall owner thought Xu Changan was terrified by that sentence.
In just two or three sentences, all the big men who came to intercept them looked at him.
The stall owner couldn't speak and looked at nearly a hundred men around him. The big men's eyes did not focus on Xu Changan at this time, but instead looked at him.
With a loud shout, everyone rushed to the stall owner, while Xu Changan took advantage of the chaos and walked out with Chang Moche and Ma Sanda.
In fact, these are even worse than ants to them. As long as they waved their hand, these people could fall down like rice. But Xu Changan did not take action, but instead used wisdom.
In Chang Moche's opinion, it would be easier to say so many things than to wave your hand.
Xu Changan, who was walking in front, seemed to hear Chang Moche's thoughts. He stopped, and Chang Moche also stopped. Ma San, who was following Chang Moche, hit Chang Moche's back directly.
"I always feel that this matter is not simple, there are people behind the scenes, and this person's cultivation is not weak. We can try not to take action if we can."
Xu Changan turned his head and looked at Chang Moche, who nodded.
Anyway, his purpose of following Xu Changan was to see how this demon, Buddha and Tao merged into one, and he didn't care about anything else.
"The hidden strength is hidden, do you think it's Ma San?"
Ma San was rubbing his nose, and when he heard this, he was stunned and wanted to refute it. Xu Changan took them to the inn without waiting for him to answer.
Xu Changan carried the box and went straight into his cave room.
Sure enough, as soon as I entered the door, I saw the Lord's mouth sending camel milk.
The Lord took a sip of camel milk, put down the exquisite porcelain cup, and played with a ring in his hand. He seemed a little dissatisfied and said lightly: "I thought you would be faster if you escaped from the trap."
Xu Changan stood at the door with Xiao Qingshuang on his back, first glanced at the Lord named An Gui, and then looked at Shen He.
"Is this a test?"
"The hearts of the Holy Dynasties are not as strong as those of our Loulan people. Moreover, the content of the transaction is killing. I naturally would not doubt Xu Xiashi's strength, but the connection between strength and killing is not that close." The answer to Xu Changan was An Gui.
"That's right, there is a saying in the Holy Dynasty: The strong are afraid of being arrogant, and the arrogant are afraid of being desperate." Xu Changan suddenly smiled, but his smile made An Gui feel a little strange.
"So, in my heart, the perfect answer should be that you killed nearly a hundred people."
Xu Changan looked at himself, thought for a while and said, "But you seem to be disappointed. Judging from my clothes, I did not kill anyone."
An Gui nodded, and he continued to lift the camel's milk, about to drink it.
"But someone helps me kill people, that's fine. I have to thank you for your people. But if you don't go to save your god, I'm afraid your people will not even be able to find your bodies."
When An Guiyi heard this, his hand shook and thought of something. His face changed and looked at Chen He. Chen He understood and hurried out.
In about a quarter of an hour, Chen He came back with a man. At this time, Chen He was like a bloody man.
This person lacked one eye and one arm, which was the breakfast stall owner just now.
Chen He glanced at his master and said with a thorn in his mouth, "Sir, we arranged for forty people, only this one was saved when I went."
An Gui gritted his teeth and glanced at Xu Changan fiercely.
"You..." He took a deep breath and finally changed two words.
"sharp!"
Xu Changan looked at An Gui. Xu Changan was a child of the world and liked to avenge his grudges. If a person treats him with sincerity, he would treat others with sincerity, and vice versa!
Xu Changan looked at An Gui without saying nonsense, shook the box in his hand and said directly: "Don't do anything that is not available. The first one is to ask for it!"
An Gui had a respectable status in Loulan and was originally a lord. He wanted to give Xu Changan a warning and cause some trouble for him, but he didn't expect to trap his own people instead. He was already angry, but at this time he was scolded by Xu Changan again. He was about to scold him, but his shoulder suddenly sank.
The one who held him was Chen He. Chen He licked his lips and looked at Xu Changan.
