Records of the Cattle and Horses of Chang'an

Chapter 598 Mount

What happened to the Liu family? Didn’t they even have the money to pay the bribes?

In Qiqige's opinion, people who hang out in the outside world are generally relatively wealthy. According to this logic, the Liu family has been in the outside world for hundreds of years and should be very rich.

Jiang Shangxian subconsciously wanted to ask, "How could you be so broke? After all, you're a member of the minority leadership team!"

Fortunately, he needed help, so Xiao Jiang stopped and swallowed his words. He waved his hand righteously and said, "We hit it off right away, and we have such a destiny. Wouldn't it be too hurtful to talk about money?"

"Hurting feelings?" Qi Qi Ge twitched her lips when she remembered that she had planted a poison on them. Jiang Shangxian could say that, but she felt embarrassed to respond to it.

Jiang Shangxian moved his butt closer to her: "There is something I want to ask you for help with, my husband..."

It was another long, boring story that made Qiqige frown. It made her doubt her Chinese proficiency. "You mean, your man is a martial arts expert and a high-ranking official in the court, but his family prefers a useless, sickly woman?"

Isn't this a disease?

Who in their tribe doesn’t like a strong child who can help with work?

Even when she raises Gu, she likes the fierce and powerful ones. Could there be something wrong with the people from the Central Plains?

Why do some people like sickly people?

When Jiang Shangxian heard this, his expression became as if he had found a confidant. He clapped his hands together, and said the same thing as when he was gossiping with Jiang's mother. "That's right, you see. They're all my biological children, not picked up from outside. How can this person be so partial to me?"

"You've never been to the Central Plains, so you don't know how many rules those wealthy families have. I come from an ordinary family, and I've only been learning these rules for half a year. The people there like to talk in a roundabout way, making it hard to understand. They like to curse people in a roundabout way. My husband loves me and doesn't want me to live alone with those people in my hometown, so it has come to this."

At this point, Jiang Shangxian stopped pretending and her straight back bent slightly. She was really about to die of exhaustion.

Qi Qi Ge had no idea what the rules were, but the way Jiang Shangxian sat cross-legged on the ground and chatted really suited her temperament.

Besides, Jiang Shangxian was a straightforward person, speaking directly without beating around the bush. So she told him the truth, "It's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that I haven't heard of this before."

There's nothing we can do about it. When something is passed from person to person, it's easy for it to go awry over the years. Some things just disappear without a trace.

Jiang Shangxian also felt troubled when she thought about this. She was thinking about it with her cheek in her hand. She was anxious to see her husband's mother Gu and could not wait any longer, so she jumped on the spot.

"hiss!"

Xiao Jiang felt as if the top of his head had been hit by a bullet, and he grimaced in pain, but he didn't dare to reach out and touch it.

This time it was Qi Qi Ge's turn to feel embarrassed.

The two were chatting happily. Seeing that she was just hesitating and not taking out her husband, the female Gu simply jumped hard on her head.

But she couldn't say it was the Gu God, right?

Qiqige touched his face, tilted his head to face the light and showed it to Jiang Shangxian: "The Gu God has a bad temper, you see."

"Did it bite you?" Jiang Shangxian suddenly felt that he was just hit on the top of his head and it was nothing serious.

The neat and dense teeth marks on the cheeks show that this insect has obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Qiqige pursed his lips into a line and gave her a cold look: "It's all thanks to you!"

this....

Could it be that I played the male Gu's butt, and the female Gu was unhappy, so she grabbed someone to vent her anger?

Jiang Shangxian, who had accidentally guessed everything, shrank his head. Suddenly, he thought of the temple he had discovered. He quickly changed the subject and took out a small notebook from his bag: "Look at what's written on it. I found it in the temple of a Gu Po named Layao from your Xiou tribe."

"Bayao?"

This time, Qiqige didn't say she didn't know. She was just a little puzzled: "How did you find that abandoned temple? We don't even go there."

As he took the notebook, he looked at it for a while before his expression became serious.

Seeing her concentration, Jiang Shangxian didn't interrupt her. He waited until she finished reading before saying, "According to the Liu family's legend, Ba Yao was once married to Zhao Tuo, the founding emperor of Nanyue. I've seen that mural, and it's the tomb of Zhao Tuo that your Xiou tribe helped build."

The expression on her face was full of anticipation: You must remember this carefully!

Fortunately, although Qiqige had no memory of this incident, she could understand the inscription on the last mural recorded by Jiang Shangxian: "According to what is written above, I do need to visit Zhao Tuo's tomb."

Go get something.

She was a little confused now. How could there be no rumors left in the clan about such an important matter?

But this word is indeed an ancient word of the Xiou tribe. Nowadays, the tribe uses Chinese characters, and this kind of ancient stone inscription has long been no longer circulated. Only the tribe leader and the witch can understand it, and the content in it can only be understood by the witch.

Therefore, the possibility of Jiang Shangxian falsifying the facts is not high.

"I want to go to the abandoned temple." Qi Qige decided to see it with her own eyes. This was not a trivial matter. She had to personally confirm that there was no mistake in the murals described by Jiang Shangxian.

How could Layao be so bold as to do such a thing?

Jiang Shangxian licked his lips and said, "I'll go with you, but you have to accompany me to find my man first."

She had to go back to the cave to see if there were any clues left by Cui Bianxu, but she was afraid that the giant snake was still there and they would be trapped if they went there.

With the mother insect around, safety can be higher.

The two men faced each other for a while, Jiang Shangxian stubbornly sticking his neck out, but Qiqige finally graciously gave in, saying, "I can only take two people with me. Your men will have to wait here for us."

Jiang Shangxian was a little confused by what he said. What did it mean that he could only bring two people?

Qi Qi Ge didn't explain much. He stood up and walked out of the gap. He bent his little finger on his lips and used his hand as a whistle. After a while, the sound of wild animals running around in the jungle could be heard.

The guards were alert again. Zhao Shan's face was already pale, and after all this trouble, it turned pale again before it could regain its color. They pulled her to squeeze into the gap: "Hurry, it must be that giant snake coming again, let's hide first!"

Although Jiang Shangxian felt a little weak, judging from the appearance of the snake, it should not be a giant snake.

Sure enough, after a while, three wild boars jumped out of the jungle. One was particularly big, weighing more than 900 pounds, and the other two were slightly smaller, weighing about 700 to 800 pounds.

Wild boar?

With this physique, no wonder the ground is shaking.

An idea flashed through Jiang Shangxian’s mind: Could this be Qi Qi Ge’s mount?

No way, sister, you look so awesome, but why is your mount a wild boar?

"This is Zhu Huahua and her two boars." Qi Qi Ge introduced with some pride.
