She stretched her neck and said, "Are you going to kill? Come on, I thought the old lady was afraid of you? Everyone is watching, someone is going to kill."

Qin Xiao frowned, thinking that Qiuniang was pungent, but seeing this fat woman's behavior was unreasonable and understood Qiuniang's behavior.

The fat woman pulled her throat and yelled, but no one went out. Instead, a man walked out of the fat woman's house and cursed at the fat woman: "What are the ghosts? Why don't you go shopping, why are you calling souls here? "

The fat woman was very afraid of the man, she didn't dare to say anything, she just stomped her feet at Qiuniang before she left.

Qiuniang rolled her eyes at the fat woman and turned to go back to the house, as if she didn't see Qin Xiao.

Qin Xiao could only say: "Sister Qiu Niang, wait a minute."

Qiuniang turned around, she didn't smile, she just said, "I almost forgot about you, are you...really here?"

"Am I not supposed to come?" Qin Xiao pinched his nose, a little embarrassed: "It's just that I want to ask Brother Gu about something, so I took the liberty to come."

Qiuniang looked embarrassed, and suddenly heard Gu Baiyi's voice from the room: "Is Brother Qin here?" Footsteps sounded, and a person appeared behind the door, it was Gu Baiyi, who was still holding a book in her hand, and saw Qin Xiao , Immediately smiled and said: "Quickly enter the room, I have just arrived home, waiting for Brother Qin to come over."

Qin Xiao led the horse and handed two packets of dim sum to Qiuniang: "Sister Qiu Niang, passing by the dim sum shop on the way, I bought two catties, and I don't know if it suits my taste."

"Is it for us?" Qiuniang finally showed a smile, took the cake, and said, "Go to the house."

Qin Xiao tied the horse outside the courtyard and entered the courtyard. Gu Baiyi led Qin Xiao into the back room. The sky was already dark and the room was dark, but there was no light on. Gu Baiyi lit the light, and the room lit up, but Qiu Niang I took the bamboo stick and picked the wick of the oil lamp inside. As a result, the light dimmed a little.

Qin Xiao was taken aback for a moment, but he understood immediately, he was amused, and only felt that Qiuniang was really frugal.

The furnishings in the room were very simple. Gu Baiyi invited Qin Xiao to sit down. Then he said, "My sister is in trouble today. Thanks to my brother's help, things are busy. I don't have to thank you very much. I specially invited you to have a meal at home. The head asked Qiuniang, "Sister, when is the meal?"

Qiuniang whispered: "I...I thought he wouldn't come, so...so I didn't cook, I just wanted to heat up the gruel from last night...!"

Gu Baiyi was taken aback, smiled awkwardly, and said, "I was negligent. When I came back, I should bring some food back. When I came back, I saw that Chen Liu had pig head meat for sale. Sister, go buy some. Pork head meat...!"

"Eating meat?" Qiuniang's eyes widened: "Pig head meat is very expensive. Where do we have money to eat meat?"

"You didn't mean that Tsing Yi Tang lost your boat money, you...!"

"Loss what you said." Qiuniang didn't care about Qin Xiao's presence, and said with an aura: "That's the money to buy the boat. If it is spent, we really want to drink Northwest Wind." Reached out to Gu Baiyi: " If you want to eat meat, bring the silver, just take out the silver, not to mention eating meat, I will also buy you wine."

Gu Baiyi smiled bitterly and said, "You should evenly distribute it first, and I will leave it to you when the salary is paid."

"What a shit." Qiuniang gave him a white look: "Which time did you take your salary home?" After all, it was Qin Xiao who was beside him.

It was a little scrupulous, with a displeased expression: "I'm going to buy some eggs, you can make do with a meal."

Qin Xiao had already stood up, handed over a piece of broken silver, and said, "Sister Qiu Niang, these are enough to buy some side dishes and some wine."

"No." Gu Baiyi stretched out his hand to hold Qin Xiao's arm: "We treat, there is no reason to let you out."

"Big Brother Gu has seen you outside." Qin Xiao said with a smile: "Money is not worth mentioning. If you take the liberty to disturb you today, you will listen to me, you treat me, and I will pay." The broken silver was stuffed into Qiuniang's hand.

Naturally, he had already seen that the lives of these two siblings were really struggling, and they were living very tightly. It was no wonder that Qiuniang was planning carefully.

Qiuniang's lips moved. After all, she didn't speak, nor returned the silver, she turned and twisted her waist and went out.

Seeing Qiuniang went out of the courtyard to buy vegetables, Gu Baiyi was a little embarrassed and said, "I have no other hobbies, so I like to buy books. If it's ordinary books, I just prefer some ancient orphaned books. The prices are not cheap. The shopkeeper knows that I have this hobby, and I keep any good books for me." Raised his hand and touched his chin: "I owe money in the bookstore, and I pay my salary every month, so every time I pay my salary It's gone halfway down the road."

"The book has its own golden house, and the book has its own thousands of bells. Gu's hobby couldn't be better." Qin Xiao smiled: "What books does Gu's brother read?"

"It's just some art of war or something." Gu Baiyi said: "I have nothing to do, I am thinking about passing the time by myself."

Qin Xiao said in surprise: "The Art of War?"

"From ancient times to the present, there have been many famous generals on the battlefield, and the marching formations have their own magical strategies." Gu Baiyi mentioned the art of war, and his eyes flashed: "A very small number of them have passed down their art of war, but There are many famous generals in the past, but there are not many military books that are truly eulogized to the world. Although there are many military books passed down, they are ignored. I often look for those unknown military books at various bookstores in Kyoto, although not all are useful. But as long as there is a slight gain from it, it is worth it."

Qin Xiao smiled and said, "Brother Gu naturally broke through ten thousand books."

"That's not true." Gu Baiyi shook his head, and said solemnly: "There are hundreds of books hidden in my room, half of which are related to the marching formation, but there are still many that have not been read. A military book must understand the essence of it. , Need to ponder over and over, sometimes it takes ten and a half months or even more time for a military book. There are many official duties in the yamen, and I hurry up every day to finish the official duties at hand, so I squeeze some time. ."

"Which government office is Big Brother Gu in?"

"Kyoto Prefecture." Gu Baiyi said, "I'm a clerk inside, and became a clerical man." After thinking of what, I finally asked: "I heard my sister said that Brother Qin came from the northwest?"

"Xiling!"

"Xiling?" Gu Baiyi was startled, thoughtful, pondered, and finally said: "I just heard today that Jiayu Pass has been closed, and people outside the pass cannot enter. Did Brother Qin arrive in Kyoto long ago, or... ....?"

He speaks very slowly, and it seems that every word he says is thoughtful and calm.

Qin Xiao thought for a while, knowing that if he wants Gu Baiyi to help inquire about Han Yunong, he must treat each other with sincerity. He looked at Gu Baiyi and said, "Brother Gu, do you know Heiyu Nightcrow?"

Gu Baiyi shook her body and lost her voice: "Black Feather Night Crow?"

He has a good temper and is not surprised when things happen.

Such reactions are rare.

Qin Xiao nodded, and Gu Baiyi quickly recovered his calm, saying: "Back when Wu Tuo invaded Xiling, General Hei Yu captured Khan in the snowy night, and the thirty guards Ye Ya made great achievements in battle. That is the battle. Forcing Wutuo's 100,000 iron knights back, his fame moves the world."

"Brother Gu, would you believe me if I said I was the Black Feather Night Crow?" Qin Xiao asked with a cry and smile.

Gu Baiyi was startled, but did not hesitate, nodded and said: "Brother Qin said that, of course. I also know that after the battle, the Black Feather Night Crow is like the longevity army, no longer a person, but a This symbol. Of the 30 Black Feather Night Crows, half of them are over fifty years old. The years are not forgiving, so naturally they can’t stay with General Black Feather. I heard that some of them have already passed on the name of the Night Crow. Others, Brother Qin is the Black Feather Night Crow, not surprising."

"Then why the Jiayuguan Pass is sealed off, does Brother Gu know?"

Gu Baiyi shook his head and said: "I don't know. As far as I know, General Heiyu returned to Xiling. The imperial order also allowed the general to take charge of all the soldiers and horses belonging to Xiling. A few days ago, I heard that besides the general recruiting soldiers in Xiling, he would live long The army will also be transferred from Woye Town to Xiling to strengthen Xiling’s defense." The brows frowned slightly, and he said softly: "However, given the current situation, it is very difficult for the general to deploy defenses in Xiling. This is certainly due to the current situation in Xiling. It is related to the court’s strategy."

"Everything doesn't exist anymore." Qin Xiao thought for a while, and finally said: "Xiling rebelled, the general was killed, and the three counties have all fallen into the hands of the rebels. Xiling land shakes, but there doesn't seem to be anything in Kyoto. It feels like, even Brother Gu didn’t know that Xiling had changed so drastically, then most people in Kyoto would naturally not know.”

Gu Baiyi stayed for a while, and soon his face became serious.

"When did it happen?" Gu Baiyi was silent for a long time before finally asking.

Qin Xiao didn't conceal it, and briefly talked about the drastic changes that took place in Xiling on New Year's Eve. Naturally, he also mentioned Li Tuo who claimed to be of the orthodox bloodline of the Tang Dynasty.

Although Gu Baiyi had a friendly temperament, he heard what Qin Xiao said, but he changed his color, and finally said: "So the three of you are going to Beijing, just want to report the details of the changes in Xiling to the Ming court?"

"Exactly." Qin Xiao said: "After the three of me came to Kyoto, the next day Master Du went to the Ministry of War, and Lieutenant Han went to the Ministry of War. I waited for a day without seeing them back, so I found the Ministry of War and also looked for it. I went to the official department, but I couldn't even get in the door." After all, he didn't tell me about the trip to Tantai Mansion.

Tantai Mansion was obviously unwilling to get involved in this matter, and he didn't want to have too much involvement with Qin Xiao, so Qin Xiao didn't mention it at all.

Gu Baiyi looked at the oil lamp without saying a word, startled in a daze, as if thinking about something.

At this time, I only saw Qiuniang coming in from outside the courtyard with her waist twisted, carrying a basket of vegetables in her hand, and a jar of wine in her other hand. After all, Qin Xiao made the money, and Qiuniang was generous with others. The altar is not small, and he said to the back room: "The things are sold back, you guys talk first, I will cook for you."

"Not good." Gu Baiyi said suddenly, just in time for Qiuniang's words.

Qiuniang's ears are sensitive, and when she hears the voice, she immediately said, "What's wrong? You think I can't cook well, then you do it."

"You are very dangerous now." Gu Baiyi didn't hear what Qiuniang said. He looked stern and stared at Qin Xiao said: "Brother Qin, if I guessed correctly, both of them have been imprisoned, and your situation is already It's extremely dangerous and must leave Kyoto as soon as possible."
