Chapter 134: The First Appearance of Murder (5)


During the two days in Ningcheng, Qiu Moli did not step out of her room.

Even during meal time, she ordered the maid to bring the food to her room, and then beat the maid away without stopping. ` "You haven't come out yet?"

Xuan Zixu glanced at Ju Xiang who had just come out of Qiu Moli's room, as if he didn't know that Qiu Moli hadn't come out yet, and asked calmly.

"Yes, the princess has been reading there with a book in her hands.

Even if the slave brought food, she would just raise her head and tell the slave to leave.

However, the slave felt that the food sent in the past few days has not been touched.

If this continues The princess's body may not be able to withstand it," Ju Xiang cried to Xuan Zixu with a worried look on her face.

Was she getting angry with him or going on a hunger strike to tell herself that she didn't want to cooperate?

Xuan Zixu narrowed his eyes, waved away the chrysanthemum fragrance, then pushed the door open and entered Qiu Moli's room alone.

In the room, Qiu Moli held the storybook that Yue Mi had brought from the General's Mansion, and focused his entire attention on it obsessively.

Even though he had not gone out for two days and had not eaten for two days, Qiu Moli was still very energetic and bright.

From her clear laughter from time to time, it can be seen that she is in good condition at this time.

Sensing someone coming in, Qiu Moli did not raise his head, but directly said, "Put down your things, then close the door and go out."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xuan Zixu came to Qiu Moli, lifted Qiu Moli's chin with his right hand, and then said to Qiu Moli in a warning tone.

"See clearly who the person in front of you is."

Only then did Qiu Moli notice that the person in front of him looked furious.

"Something's wrong."

Qiu Moli glanced at Xuan Zixu calmly, then added when he saw that the expression on his face had not eased.

"It seems I didn't do anything to offend you."

"Why don't you eat?

Do you think that this general will let you go?

Tell you Qiu Moli, you have no way out now.

Either you finish the play with me, and when you get to Lingbei, I will naturally send you back to Dazhou." otherwise" Xuan Zixu did not finish the rest of the words, but he knew that Qiu Moli must understand what he meant.

"Otherwise, how about killing Zhaixing and Tiaoyue or me?"

Qiu Moli sneered and said to Xuan Zixu.

She had no intention of going against Xuan Zixu.

It's just that the storybook that Yue Mi brought over was something she had always saved and prepared to read when she was most bored.

Now the conditions have been met.

Naturally, she didn't want to read anything first; if this became the reason why Xuan Zixu thought she was resisting, then she had nothing to say. . ` "Do you have to talk like this?"

Xuan Zixu frowned.

Qiu Moli looked like he had a deep hatred for himself at this moment.

He couldn't stand it.

"Then what does the general think I should say or what does the general think I should say?"

The neither salty nor bland, desire-free tone seemed to Xuan Zixu to be another way for Qiu Moli to resist him.

He paused and then spoke.

"Eat, if you don't eat, the two girls in the General's Mansion won't have to eat in the future."

The undisguised threatening tone made Qiu Moli furious.

She raised her right hand and knocked Xuan Zixu's hand away.

Then she stood up, picked up the food on the table, and took a few bites like a wolf.

Before she could swallow it, she slammed the bowl and chopsticks on the table.

"I ate it.

If you are satisfied, you can go away now."

At this time, Qiu Moli and Xuan Zixu were already in a tense relationship.

Just because she said they would cooperate did not mean that she had a good face to show Xuan Zixu, nor did it mean that Xuan Zixu could threaten her in any way he wanted.

Xuan Zixu opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say a word.

"After dinner, we went out for a walk.

The scenery in Ningcheng is beautiful, and there are many interesting things."

Xuan Zixu said casually, and then stood up and left Qiu Moli's room.

And Qiu Moli completely lost interest in reading the storybook because of Xuan Zixu's trouble.

Since her interest was gone, it was naturally a bit difficult for her to stay in the room, so she had no choice but to follow Xuan Zixu's words, change into simple clothes, and bring the two guards at the door and the maid Ju Xiang who took care of her all day.

He swaggered out of the inn.

For Ning Cheng to be praised like that by Xuan Zixu, he really has his own merits.

Even to a certain extent, Ningcheng's prosperity was no less than that of Kyoto.

Coupled with the merchants coming and going here, Ningcheng's inclusiveness reached the highest level in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Qiu Moli, who was wearing a bamboo hat, could see through the bamboo hat the merchants who were leading horses and carrying goods on foot.

Each of them looked exhausted, but everyone had a look of surprise on their faces. , maybe because there are good development opportunities here, thinking this way, Qiu Moli stood by the road and walked towards the neatly arranged stalls not far away.

"Girl, would you like something from your daughter's house?

We have makeup from Dazhou and Kyoto, a phoenix comb from Dongmo Fengcheng, and Xianxia's steps.

They are all of good quality."

When a woman in her forties saw Qiu Moli stopping in front of her stall, she began to slowly introduce the things she sold, playing with them while talking.

Following her line of sight, Qiu Moli also saw a lot of things.

Exotic things, but she was curious.

There were things from Dazhou and Dongmo here, and even Xianxia in the far west.

Why was there only a lack of things from Lingbei?

"Auntie, why don't you bring anything from the north?"

Qiu Moli couldn't help but asked curiously.

When the woman saw Qiu Moli asking, she lowered her body and whispered.

"Now that the trade restrictions between Dazhou and Lingbei have been lifted, people from the east and west of Lingbei are not required to pay taxes, so the prefect specially opened a whole business area in the east of the city for Lingbei merchants, saying it is convenient for management, so Lingbei Basically, things like ours are not available at small stalls like ours.”

Opening up business premises means that those Lingbei merchants have to pay more rent to rent formal shops.

It seems that the free trade in Dazhou and Lingbei is not as free as she imagined.

At least from what she knows, these mobile businesses There is no need to pay rent for a stall, and even if you do, there is a very small management fee.

As expected, the people in the royal family are all cunning foxes.

Seeing Qiu Moli frowning and thinking, the woman thought she was too far to the east of the city, so she whispered again.

"Girl, I see you are a kind person.

If you really want something from the North, I have something here.

It's just that it's a bit old.

I don't know if the girl will like it."

"Oh, what?"

Qiu Moli asked curiously.

The woman looked around to make sure no one noticed her, and then took out a small, dark box from a box next to the stall.

There was no trace of black paint on the box.

It looked ordinary, but it was indeed Like the woman said, it was something that had been around for some time, because the black paint had peeled off quite a bit.

Qiu Moli stared at the woman's hand closely, and then watched the woman slowly open the box
