Kuaiwen: I earn a pension by breaking through the game

Chapter 242 The Bride Dedicated to the Mountain God (32)

"No need to bother. If you want to eat, just come over and eat with us. It's free."

"We are all travelers. It's not easy to sleep outdoors. I understand your desire to have a hot meal."

Hearing this, Queen Deng's eyes lit up instantly and she asked in disbelief.

"Really?! You're not lying to me, are you?"

"I am a sincere person. If you say so, I will really believe it!"

Looking at Queen Deng's bright eyes like a puppy, Jiang Qiuchen nodded seriously and continued to add.

"Of course it's true. I rarely lie."

"Besides, this isn't a big deal. Why would I lie to you?"

"If I hadn't happened to meet this old woman today, I wouldn't have any cooking utensils to use even if I wanted to."

When she was mentioned, the old woman smiled embarrassedly and waved her hand to indicate that it was not necessary to worry about it, as it was just a trivial matter.

But soon, Jiang Qiuchen changed the subject.

"This meal is not in vain. I have something I want to ask you. Is it convenient?"

Upon hearing that he could have a free meal, Queen Deng almost laughed out loud. As for getting some information, it was just a matter of talking, so it was naturally very convenient.

Queen Deng waved her hand, smiled brightly, and agreed enthusiastically.

"Oh, it's just to get some information, it's just a small matter."

"As long as we two brothers know, we will tell you everything."

"How about everyone sit down and talk while eating?"

Jiang Qiuchen raised his eyebrows and agreed with a smile.

Deng Xian, who was still sitting there in a daze, did not react until he saw his brother waving at him. He felt a surge of joy in his heart. He didn't expect that he could actually negotiate with this kid!
He quickly got up and ran towards where they were.

When there are more people, the already simple tableware becomes even less than enough.

But it is obvious that no one cares too much about this. Eating, eating, and putting food in your mouth is more important.

The two brothers casually broke off two branches from the bushes nearby to use as chopsticks, took the prepared dishes and began to eat them eagerly.

First, I picked up a few slices of fragrant bacon, and then selected a few fresh bamboo shoots and wild onions, put them into my mouth together, and savored them carefully.

After a long period of stewing, the bacon has become soft and tasty. The essence of this dish is undoubtedly the rich soup.

The two brothers tore off the pancake that they had previously looked down upon, letting it fully absorb the essence of the soup, and then took a bite.

The original dry and hard taste was instantly replaced by the spicy aroma, delicious taste, soft and glutinous texture, and sour and salty taste.

The more they ate, the more delicious it became, and the more excited they became. The brothers ate together, sweating all over.

After the two of them had eaten and drunk their fill and were eating slower, Jiang Qiuchen put down his bowl and chopsticks and started chatting with them.

From them I learned the identities of the two and the current situation in Lingzhou City.

It turned out that the brothers Deng Xian and Deng Hou did not live in Lingzhou City for a long time, but moved around frequently, responsible for transporting valuable items from their master to other areas.

This time, after completing the mission and on the way back to the city, he happened to meet Jiang Qiuchen.

Although they don't live there very often, they are relatively clear about the basic situation in Lingzhou City.

The emperor is far away, and Lingzhou is located on the border, so it is relatively difficult to manage. Not to mention the current chaotic situation, many places are independent and out of control.

Lingzhou was originally governed by the local King Lingxiang, but unfortunately he was ambushed in the melee among the states and lost his trace, and his whereabouts remain unknown to this day.

Today's Lingzhou order is mainly managed by his eldest son Gu Shaojing. Although King Lingxiang has been missing for several years, he is unwilling to admit to the outside world that his father is no longer alive.

Therefore, he never inherited the throne, but only managed it on behalf of others.

The Lingzhou border was often invaded by enemies. In order to protect the safety of the people there, Gu Shaojing spent most of his time in the military camp.

The Lingzhou city area is presided over by the Princess Lingxiang, assisted by the subordinates left behind by the old King Lingxiang.

When encountering problems that cannot be solved, they will be sent to the military camp and solved by Gu Shaojing.

King Lingxiang only married one queen, and his offspring were relatively few.

The eldest son Gu Shaojing, the second daughter Gu Yun, and the third son Gu Xiao, a total of three children.

It's just that apart from the eldest child who is more useful, the remaining two children are troublemakers. They usually just walk their birds, play, and cause trouble in the streets.

……

These are the general information that can be seen on the surface of Lingzhou. As for what is hidden deep inside, most of it is unknown.

After some conversation, Jiang Qiuchen already had a basic understanding of Lingzhou. As for the rest, she still had to explore it slowly.

Because Lingzhou is close to Lingshan Mountain, many people tried to set foot here in the early years to seek shortcuts to wealth and glory.

Although this move is risky, if it succeeds, the benefits are enough to make people jealous, so there have always been people who are eager to try it in secret.

But only after repeated failures did I gradually give up these little thoughts.

She didn't believe it at first, but after witnessing Yaohua's appearance with her own eyes, Jiang Qiuchen realized that the world was not that simple.

Lingzhou seems peaceful on the surface, but in fact, who knows how many demons and monsters are hidden in the dark.

This time, she went to Lingzhou alone, carrying the medicine condensed by Tianyun Yaohua. No one knows what kind of storm it will cause.

"Thank you both for telling me. I now have a general understanding of Lingzhou."

"It is fate that we met today. If we meet again in the future, I would like to invite you two to sit down and have tea and chat."

Jiang Qiuchen behaved generously and spoke frankly, and soon won the favor of the two brothers.

Queen Deng wiped the grease off her mouth and said to Jiang Qiuchen with a fist salute.

"Miss, you are right. Meeting is fate. We will make friends with you!"

"If we meet again in the future, we will meet again!"

"It's getting late now, and we two brothers have to hurry to complete our mission, so we won't waste any more words, and we'll say goodbye now!"

Seeing that his younger brother had said almost everything he wanted to say, Deng Xian had nothing more to say. He just smiled kindly, clasped his fists and said goodbye.

It was not until the two of them walked away that Jiang Qiuchen discovered the piece of silver that was pressed at the bottom of the bowl.

These two brothers are real people and can get along well.

After helping the old lady clean up the dishes, Jiang Qiuchen also carried his bag and continued on his way.

If we speed up our pace, we should be able to enter Lingzhou City before dark.
