41. Chapter 41

Nowadays, literati curses are nothing more than calling the other party a shameless and despicable villain. There is another type, which uses women and livestock as metaphors, such as "crying and making a woman", which means mocking the other party for crying like a woman. It can be seen that being regarded as a woman is an insult to most people.

Feng Xiao scoffed at these ordinary views. When he and Cui Buyeo reached the status of his identity and status, the cognitive realm, the people in the world, regardless of men and women, were generally divided into two categories: friends or enemies, as well as useful people, or useless people.

Those who know the times are like Qin Miaoyu. Because of his skill, Feng Xiao can also make her look open to her. But Su Xing did not have this treatment. Feng Xiao’s view of people is never bound by the difference between men and women.

But now there is a small problem in front of him.

Is it important to clean clothes and hair, or is it important to be a man's respect?

A real man can bend and stretch, just like hesitating to care about Cui and not calling him father without hesitation, Feng Xiao also chose the former without hesitation.

So there were still four people in the line, but the combination changed slightly.

To avoid burden, in addition to the four, except for two coachmen and one Qiemo City guide, they did not bring any servants - this is also in line with the Ye family that Cui Buqu wants to pretend. He was originally from a small family and had no show. If he brought a slave, it would be strange.

Leaving Liugong City, three carriages traveled westward. In order to take care of Cui Bugui's body, the speed of traveling slowed down. Several people ate sand for ten days and half a month before finally getting rid of the endless yellow sand and seeing the outline of the city from afar.

"There is the last one in front?" Cui Buqi coughed twice, lifted the curtain and looked out, and the smell became stronger when he entered his nose.

It was the hot smell of sand blowing in the scorching sun and being blown by the wind.

He couldn't help but cough again.

He reached out with his other hand and pulled the curtain back down.

"Mr., you are weak, so don't eat sand outside. If you fall ill again, I will be worried."

The voice owner's voice is not fast, his voice is a little low, but it is very soft, making people want to get a glimpse of the true appearance.

But it does not include Cui Bulu.

Not only did he not turn his head, he didn't even want to hear the sound, but his cough became even worse.

"Oh, look at you, I'm just talking to you, and I'm anxious again! After entering the city later, we'll find an inn to rest. I'll help you vent your anger."

Seeing that he did this, the voice not only stopped, but instead spoke even more vigorously.

Cui Buqu slowly turned his head, expressionless: "What is ejaculation and venting fire?"

"That's right, I know that you are inconvenient along the way and are very depressed. When I arrive at the inn, I can serve you well!" The woman was so embarrassed that she looked like Feixia. "I am a woman no matter how I say it, why do you have to force me to say it so bluntly? When others hear it, I am afraid that I will misunderstand that I am a slut!"

Cui Buqu felt his head hurt even more and couldn't help but press his temple: "There are no outsiders here, can you speak well?"

The woman said aggrievedly: "What I am saying is not human words, is it a lie? It is said that Diao Chan has become a sow after three years of marriage. I know that the man-lord must be like this!"

She was so tall that when she sat cross-legged in the carriage, she seemed a little cramped inside the carriage.

Her black and shiny hair tied the most common woman's bun nowadays, and fell loosely on the back of her head. The red braided rope was exposed in her hair, making her skin look even more fair. Although she was not as gentle as a woman from Jiangnan, her beauty was not inferior at all. She covered her ugly things with one white. At least this was a beauty who would make people confused at first sight and forget some flaws on her body.

But Cui Buqun couldn't appreciate it at all, and even wanted to kick someone out of the carriage.

Qiao Xian's disguise skills are very clever. She not only deepened Feng Xiao's facial features, making the other party look more like a foreign woman, but also covered Feng Xiao's Adam's apple, covering up many details that are easily discovered.

Women in the Western Regions are already taller and deeper in their eyes, and their skeletons are taller than those in the Central Plains. When others see Feng Xiao, they will never think about the direction of men dressing up as women.

However, after Feng Xiao agreed to pretend to be a woman, he asked Cui not to pretend to be his husband Ye. Cui Buqu agreed to it out of the mood of watching jokes, but after a long time of departure, he regretted it.

There is no medicine for regret in the world, so I can only walk all the way to the present.

Fortunately, Mocheng is in sight, his ears should be able to be purified for a moment.

Qiemo City is an important city connecting east and west, but it is far away from the Central Plains. The Sui Dynasty has only been established for three years. At this moment, the imperial court has focused on the Turks and Southern Chen. It has not yet divided its energy to manage this small city on a vague territory. However, last year the emperor still ordered the establishment of a county in Qiemo, the construction of a county government, and the dispatch of county magistrates and soldiers to garrison it to show the power of the court. In fact, it is to show all parties that although the Sui Dynasty has not yet divided its jurisdiction to govern this place, it does not mean that it has given up on this place.

More than 30 years ago, the Shanshan Kingdom was destroyed by the Western Wei Dynasty. King Shanshan led his people to leave and settled in Qiemo City. Over the years, he also established his own power in the city. In addition, merchants from all sides traveled to the Central Plains and Western Regions, Qiemo City was an unavoidable point. There were many people who rested here. Over time, Qiemo City formed a three-way situation.

First, Gao Yi, the magistrate of Qiemo County, sent by the Sui Dynasty.

The second is Xingmao, the descendant of King Shanshan.

The third is Duan Qihu, a wealthy man from the Western Regions.

It is easy to understand the first two. After all, Gao Yi was sent to the garrison of the Sui Dynasty. Although the official position was a county magistrate, he, the county magistrate, also brought soldiers here. Although King Shanshan was destroyed, he had been here for three generations. Xingmao is now the eldest grandson of King Shanshan at that time. It is said that the old people of Shanshan in the city still called him the king.

The last Duan Qihu was actually a horse thief and bandit. He was rampant in the Western Regions in his early years. He plundered countless places where he went, which was frightening. When merchants who passed through the Western Regions met him, they had to go two ways, either paying money or paying their lives. Later, Duan Qihu washed his hands in the golden basin and settled in Qiemo City. However, his power was still there for many years, and no one dared to underestimate this former Western Region thief. Duan Qihu wandered in the black and white paths, and his power in Qiemo City was even more deeply rooted.

Compared with the other two, Gao Yi, the county magistrate of Qiemo, became the weakest party.

After Cui Bu went to the city, he saw such a scene.

People of all races live here, with all kinds of peddlers and peddlers, and with the complexity of the three forces, the small Qiemo City is even more lively than Liugong City.

"Brother, let's go to the inn to rest first. It's already late, so it's not too late to rush. It's not too late for us to rest for two days before departure." After entering the city gate, Qiao Xian said to Cui Bu.

She now pretends to be a family friend of the Ye family, Li Chong, and takes her wife A Lian to Kucha to do business.

Qiao Xian was born tall and was inviolable when dressed as a woman. Now she has changed her face and has no idea what kind of hands and feet she has done. Her figure is immediately obese, and her facial features have also changed significantly. Not only are there too short beards under her jaw, but her skin is as rough as ordinary men. Even if she tells others that she is a woman, no one will believe it.

The real art of disguise is not a complete change in appearance, a tone, expression, and accent change, but a completely different person. Such ability is impossible for Cui Bulu, but Qiao Xian did it. The accent she spoke now is completely a native of Liugong City.

After Cui didn't go and agreed, Qiao Xian asked the guide to recommend an inn.

"There is no need to be the biggest, but it must be the most comfortable. My brother is in poor health and needs to rest more." Qiao Xian's voice was rough and bold, completely no longer as cold as before. Even though Feng Xiao had become accustomed to listening along the way, he still couldn't help but look at her more at this time.

If it were the ice and snow beauty like a flower in the high mountain, she would probably have received a lot of attention and harassment at the moment, but Qiao Xian has no such trouble at all, because even if someone throws attention to them, she will not be looking at Qiao Xian who has changed her head or the golden lotus who has a white skin, but Feng Xiao with a tall skin.

The guide quickly agreed and took them to the inn.

"I know you are Han people, so I must not be used to staying in hotels opened by Kucha or Shanshan people. This inn has been open in this city for five or six years. I used to bring people here and I also lived here!"

When Jinlian went from Turkic to Liugong City last time, she also passed by here for a night, but at that time there were guards, so she didn't have to worry too much. After following Cui Bu and the others out, she naturally wouldn't ask about the details. When she heard the guide say this, she didn't think much about it and followed Qiao Xian to go in.

But Cui Buqun suddenly said, "Let's go."

The rest of them immediately stopped and looked at him.

"What is this?" Cui Bugu pointed to the inn door and said, "The wooden sign nailed to the pillar."

The wooden sign is about the size of a baby's palm, with a crescent moon carved on it, and a swan bird perched on the moon hook.

Few people will see the wooden sign when entering the door. Even if they see it, they will not care about it. They just regard it as a unique mark in the inn. Some hotels in Zhongyuan that have opened several semicolons in various places will also use their marks to show their signs.

The guide smiled and said, "You are all from the Central Plains, so you may not know that many inns will have their own marks."

Cui Buqu’s face looked light: “What we want is a comfortable inn, not an inn that will cause us trouble. If you bring us to the inn opened by Duan Qihu, will you take other people’s benefits?”

If foreign merchants are new to the city, they will inevitably be deceived several times and even encounter a lot of trouble. Because the situation in Mocheng is complicated, there are also some in-houses. Duan Qihu and Xingmao are powerful and are spread all over the city. In addition to opening inns, there are also horse walks, donkey walks, restaurants, etc. People who come and go are generally not afraid of trouble. Some good deeds, even outlaws, will choose to live in the inn run by Duan Qihu, because they can avoid the eyes and ears of the Sui Dynasty government, wander around the black and white edges, and get all the information they want.

But those merchants and ordinary people who are obedient would rather stay in more expensive inns than come here.

Of course they are not afraid of trouble if Cui doesn't go, but the purpose of this trip is not to look for trouble. Naturally, the lower the key, the better. Moreover, their current identity is good people, so of course they would not choose to live in Duan Qihu's territory.

The guide didn't expect that Cui Buqu was quite good at it, so he laughed dryly: "Didn't I save you money?"

Qiao Xian stepped forward and patted his shoulder: "Take us to a safe and secure inn."

When she took a photo, she seemed to be underestimated, but the guide suddenly felt a sense of pain coming up. Her face was distorted and she couldn't help but want to scream. She found that she couldn't even make a sound. Only then did she realize that she had completely missed her eyes. These people were not as low-key as they were along the way, but they were not easy to bully outsiders.

Qiao Xian: "If you don't understand, we'll find someone else."

The guide dared not hesitate, and he nodded quickly like pounding garlic, and tears were almost flying out.
