Chapter 8

"This morning market is also lively."

Xu Boqing entered the city with a mutter.

Hongyang County is only a hundred miles away from the capital, which is not far away. With his footsteps, even if he ran all the way, it would take less than two days. The reason why he came to Hongyang County...

It's all because of...hungry!

Not only hungry, but also money!
Unlimited energy doesn't mean he won't be hungry. On the contrary, he didn't have enough oil and rice all day yesterday, and he was either digging holes or running away. He is very hungry now! !
If I really ran to Kyoto without supplies, I was afraid that I would faint from hunger before I arrived.

'All the money on my body has been robbed, and now I don't have a penny in my pocket, and it's cleaner than my face, what should I do with this mother? '

As soon as Xu Boqing entered the city, he was stumped by his own "poor". He stopped on the street and thought about how to fill his stomach.

He looked around and noticed that passers-by, especially some female family members, would cast strange glances at him.

The original master model of this body is not bad, and the family is well-off. In addition, he has been eager to learn since he was a child. He has been involved in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and he also knows a little bit about poetry and songs. Difference.

'It's just a few buns, do you have to sell your ass? '

Xu Boqing shivered...

Quickly discarding distracting thoughts in his mind, he focused his attention on the bulletin board beside the city wall, to be precise, it was the apricot yellow 'recruitment order' on the bulletin board.

The content comes from the Imperial City of Kyoto, which roughly means that today's Great Liang is peaceful all over the world. His Majesty's advocacy of Taoism and Buddha is well known throughout the world. This order is to invite all capable people from all over the world to enter the palace to practice immortality and discuss Taoism.

'Emperor Dog...'

Xu Boqing cursed secretly in his heart.

In my previous life, I read history and saw similar emperors in the history books. At most, I just smiled and said that I was a foolish emperor. I didn’t have any special feelings. I might still think that if I became an emperor, I might be even more stupid than him, for example, just die in the harem.

But one really has to live in this era, especially at the bottom, to know how resentful the superior is.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way... out of the way..."

Just then, a loud noise came.

Seeing a group of soldiers in armor and holding knives crossing the street, Xu Boqing subconsciously dodged to the side of the road.

The leading man was dressed in light armor, with a heavy face, and was riding a tall horse with a pair of iron halberds slung across his back. The soldiers behind him were divided into two teams, and they seemed to be going out of the city.

The strange thing is that there are actually a few people dressed in Taoist robes and monk uniforms among the army, who can be seen as magic sticks running the rivers and lakes.

What is this! ?
He subconsciously checked with the "Third Eye" on the side of the road. Of course, he didn't want to see through those elders, and he didn't have any interest in it.

It may be because I was looking at the scenery before, but this time I was looking at the people. This time the picture in my eyes has not only faded, but also added some other colors.

There seems to be a layer of light red around the people in the army, and some light blue on the top of their heads.

In contrast, the man in the first place is darker both in the red around his body and the light blue on the top of his head...

What does it mean?
There is no explanation for this cheat, and I have to develop it myself, but it is better than the perspective in the game...

Xu Boqing frowned slightly, and then glanced at the other people on the street. There was no abnormal phenomenon beside the hawkers and commoners who bought vegetables, but there was a faint white floating above their heads...

Does that mean that the light blue color on the heads of everyone in the army means that they have official positions.

Ordinary people are white, so they are white.

What's the red around them?
suffocating?

...............

"Yo, Liu Laogen is here, how's the harvest today?"

"Don't mention it, the stall was pulled over before it opened, what can I gain?"

"Who isn't? It's said that there are evil spirits over at Luan Graves. My shop was just opened, and I didn't even have time to look at it, so I was dragged over..."

"I didn't even have time to close my stall..."

"It's all the same, it's all the same..."

"Stop whining, it's our honor to help the official's house~"

"..."

Seeing several people walking and chatting, their figures gradually faded away.

Xu Boqing frowned and thought about it, and also quit the state of Fayan. The five senses are strengthened in the state of Fayan, which is a surprise.

I just ran out of the chaotic graves yesterday, and I know very well that there is no evil spirit there, but a snake demon. Now that the snake demon has left, most of these people will flee in vain.

but…

They said that the stalls were not closed in time...

There was a slight movement in his heart, and he keenly grasped the key that would allow him to eat, and maybe earn some extra money.

Turning around in the early concentration, as expected, he saw an unguarded fortune-telling booth, but he didn't rush to go there, but went around again...

He casually found an old man selling vegetables by the side of the road, approached him and asked, "Old Man, may I ask if there is a fortune teller named Liu Laogen in Hongyang City?"

"What did Liu follow?"

"Liu Laogen..."

"What root?"

"..."

Xu Boqing's cheeks froze, feeling like he was living in someone's shadow, he took a deep breath and asked, "Old man, it's Liu Laogen, the fortune teller."

"Oh~"

The old man who bought the vegetables nodded suddenly, and said, "You mean the old man Liu who told the fortune?"

"exactly."

"You asked him for fortune-telling?"

"No, no, I didn't ask him for fortune-telling."

Xu Boqing smiled slightly, and said, "I am Junior Brother Liu Laogen, and I came to join him by order of my master."

"Huh? Junior brother?"

The old man who bought the vegetables looked a bit dazed, apparently he didn't know what kind of relationship this 'junior brother' was.

"It was taught by a teacher~"

"Oh~ I should have said it earlier."

The old man who bought vegetables muttered, seeing that the young man in front of him was not dressed like an ordinary person, he believed him a little, so he said: "Old man Liu was taken away by the people in the yamen, and he probably won't be back until noon."

"Thank you, old man."

Xu Boqing smiled slightly, as if he had thought of something, and asked, "Does the old man know where my brother's booth is? I'll go there and wait for him to come back."

The old vegetable seller pointed to the corner of the street and said, "On the other street that turns a corner ahead, I saw him set up a stall in the morning."

"That's fine, thank you old man, I wish you a prosperous business."

Xu Boqing cupped his hands and left.

The old man who bought vegetables thought to himself that the words of cultural people were pleasant, and when he saw him walking away, he immediately chatted with the peddler next to him: "Old Xu, do you know that the old man Liu who tells fortunes on the East Street actually has..."

"Old Zhao, do you know that old man Liu, who is a fortune teller, is so handsome and speaks nicely?"

"Hey~ Lao Li, do you know..."

"..."

After a while, all the vendors and neighbors on the street knew that Old Man Liu had a younger brother...

And what Xu Boqing wanted was this effect. He had just arrived and was not familiar with the place where he was born. If he directly occupied the booth of others, he might be considered a thief by the neighbors.

But with this level of "senior brother" relationship, it is different. Not only can we borrow the booth in a legitimate way, but also let people who are interested in fortune-telling know that they and Old Man Liu were taught by the same master.

As for the old man Liu coming back?
I only made some food money to fill my stomach and slipped away, so I still need to take care of the matter?
