Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 107 Market News
Zhao Min got up early again today, went to the morning market, bought all the vegetables, and saw the shopkeeper practicing Tai Chi in the backyard.

Zhao Min stood and put all the ingredients in the kitchen and came out immediately: "Shopkeeper, I'm going out of the city today. When Tao Zhiyi comes, let him handle all the ingredients. I will be back before noon." .”

Shopkeeper Hou was doing Tai Chi with his eyes closed. After listening to Zhao Min's words, he didn't stop his movements, but he promised: "Got it, you go, pay attention to safety."

Zhao Min listened to his entrustment, and happily agreed: "Hey! Good!"

After speaking, he went to the second floor to get his small bamboo basket and small hoe for picking herbs, and went out without daring to delay for a moment.

Gu Lingqing didn't let himself take a break today. Although he only arrived in Liangcheng yesterday, he couldn't wait to see the current situation in Liangcheng and answer the questions in his heart.

Although he came to Liangcheng because Gu Qi obtained the emperor's permission for himself, but it's hard to say when the emperor will call him back again, it's better to get this matter done as soon as possible.

Although the small mountain village where Gu Lingqing was sent by the emperor is not far from Liangcheng, without the emperor's permission, he can't move around casually, and the largest range of activities is only in the town.

However, Gu Lingqing was not in a hurry to go to the army to check the situation immediately, because he didn't know if there were other forces in the army, and it was still not easy for him to expose his true strength to the public.

Even though she left Yanfu alone, Gu Lingqing didn't dare to be too ostentatious, and finally changed into a coarse cloth.

Walking on the streets of Liangcheng, Gu Lingqing has also seen the prosperity of the imperial city, but this Liangcheng is not bad either.

Although it is in a remote area of ​​Yuan State, there are everything in the city. Compared with the imperial city, although it is a little smaller, it doesn't look like a remote area at all, and it looks very prosperous.

Along the way, Gu Lingqing has some understanding of the basic humanities in Liangcheng, and also understands the current price level in Liangcheng.

It is said that the inn can quickly get some information about the location, and can quickly understand some things about the city.

But that was nothing more than some gossip and gossip in the city.

To say that the person who knows a city best must be the guard at the gate of the city.

There are so many people coming in and out of the gate every day, and the soldiers at the gate of the city know who are the people who come in and out of Liangcheng every day.

So, after Gu Lingqing walked around Liangcheng, he touched the token in his arms, and planned to go to the gate of the city to ask the soldiers some questions.

Just when she was about to walk to the gate of Yangcheng, Gu Lingqing saw that the people around her were very flustered, and they dodged to both sides of the road.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Lingqing heard the sound of horseshoes and shouts not far away: "Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

As the people on the street gradually ran away, Gu Lingqing saw a young man dressed in white galloping towards the end of the street on a horse.

Seeing this scene, I guess I can’t help but frown a little bit. It’s really dangerous to ride a horse so fast on a street with such a large traffic flow!
After the people around saw this situation, they all gave way to him as if they were used to it.

But after a while, only Gu Lingqing was left standing in the middle of the road.

"Young man, get out of the way!" Seeing this, a big brother next to him hurriedly shouted to Gu Lingqing.

It's just that the galloping horses were very fast, and they had already arrived in front of Gu Lingqing just as the elder brother was speaking.

Seeing that the steed was about to step over Gu Lingqing, the people around screamed.

Some timid women even covered their eyes, and those with children also covered their children's eyes, not wanting them to see the bloody scene that will happen next.

"Woo...!"

At the critical moment, the young man pulled the reins, and the horse's hooves went up, touching Gu Lingqing's face, almost stepping Gu Lingqing on the ground.

After the young man braked temporarily and the horse's hooves rose, he accidentally lost his grip on the reins and fell off the horse's back.

However, the young man thought he had some martial arts skills. When he fell, he turned over quickly and rolled, which reduced the impact of his body falling to the ground.

I saw the young man rolling around on the ground a few times, and after he stopped, he stood up and patted his clothes, then angrily walked towards Gu Lingqing, took his horsewhip, and slammed it loudly on the ground.

"You don't have eyes, you made me fall off the horse."

Gu Lingqing was already filled with anger, but seeing his arrogant attitude, she frowned even more.

"There are so many people on the street, it's unreasonable that you ride so fast!"

The boy flicked his horsewhip and hit the ground with a very loud sound, but there was a smile of interest on the corner of his mouth.

"Young man, don't be ignorant of the heights of the heavens and the earth. You dare to brag about me here without inquiring about the identity of the young master, and even dare to teach me a lesson. You really want to die!"

As soon as the words fell, the young man raised his horsewhip and swung it towards Gu Lingqing, but Gu Lingqing dodged it.

The people around couldn't help gasping for him, this young man could not offend anyone, he actually offended the little overlord in Liangcheng.

There were a lot of people around, so Gu Lingqing naturally couldn't show her skills in front of people.

Therefore, when the young man attacked Gu Lingqing, Gu Lingqing did not face him directly, but just dodged past.

Seeing that the boy missed several times, he was slowly surprised. This person seemed to be dodging and rolling around in a disorderly manner, but he was able to evade his own attack every time.

There were too many back and forth times, and the other people couldn't see it, but the young man also saw that Gu Lingqing was deliberately hiding and not attacking him, so he felt a little angry in his heart, thinking that Gu Lingqing was deliberately playing tricks on him.

"Show out your true skills!"

After the boy yelled, he ran a few steps, jumped onto the horse's back, jumped up with the strength of the horse's back, then raised his whip, and swung it towards Gu Lingqing.

Gu Lingqing stood there for him to hit, but this time she didn't dodge again.

The people around thought that Gu Lingqing would not be able to hide this time and would be injured, so they all closed their eyes.

Just when the whip was about to hit Gu Lingqing, a hand stretched out from the side and grabbed the whip accurately.

It is conceivable how powerful the whip is, but the man didn't seem to feel any pain, and even grabbed the whip directly. The boy was even dragged forward and almost fell down. .
