Chapter 144: The "Beggar" Guarding the Gate
"Probably not, right?" Ma Wenbing said, "The country is not only this capital, it is a big city, there are also many big cities in the south, when we came, that Jiangzhou was also a big city, and someone must know you, the pearl of the night." ”
"Well, I still have some money on me, it should be enough for the travel expenses, and there is no need to rush, the night pearl is the safest in my arms." ”
Tianxiang said with a smile, the small night pearl is very convenient to carry, and it is not so convenient to exchange it for a large bill or something.
"Well, then let's not change money in a hurry, keep it first, I still have cash on me, it should be okay to eat and live in the next few days, after we get to the south, we can change the money again, let's go to the city gate now to see if there is any news?"
"Okay. ”
Ma Wenbing and Tianxiang walked along the street and soon arrived at the city gate.
At the gate of the city, those soldiers were still standing guard, they all knew Ma Wenbing, but they didn't know the short man next to him, thinking that it was Ma Wenbing's friend, so they didn't care about it.
When the soldiers saw Ma Wenbing coming, they all greeted him warmly, and one of the soldiers said, "Didn't you say that you would come at noon? It's still early, why are you here now?"
Ma Wenbing explained, "I don't have a place to go anyway, so I might as well wait here, I don't know if there is any good news?"
The soldier said, "Not yet, your affairs are in charge of the soldiers in the outer city, and we are under the orders of the inner city, so I don't know, but Lord Li will help you inquire, and he will tell you as soon as there is news, so don't worry, let's go back and wait slowly." ”
Since Ma Wenbing has come, how can he go back? He came here for another purpose, that is, to let the thief monks, thief Taoist priests, and thief nuns find out, so that Liu Ling'er could negotiate terms with him.
Ma Wenbing didn't tell those soldiers about this purpose, and there was no need to say it, Ma Wenbing just said that he didn't have a place to go, he just wanted to sit here for a while.
When those soldiers heard Ma Wenbing say this, they also expressed their understanding, after all, it was their mentor who was lost, and they were in a hurry, so they didn't say anything.
In order to let Ma Wenbing and his friends sit down, the soldiers found two small chairs and gave them to Ma Wenbing, Ma Wenbing was very grateful, and Tianxiang had a chair for each person, and then sat down.
In the distance, there was a man pushing a cart towards the city gate, and there were many vegetables and fruits on the cart.
He is no one else, but Ouyang covets, he has to send ingredients to the imperial dining room in the palace every day, and today is relatively late, and he sends it back once, sometimes two or three times.
Liu Ling'er lived in Ouyang Coveted's house, but unfortunately, Ma Wenbing and Tianxiang didn't know Ouyang Coveted, and Ouyang Coveted didn't know Ma Wenbing and Tianxiang, so they could only walk straight past them.
When Liu Ling'er and Tianxiang went to look for Xiaochunzi, Tianxiang entered the Youkoufu Inn, and Liu Ling'er was forced to enter the hotel that Ouyang coveted, so they got acquainted.
Ouyang coveted and saw two teenagers sitting at the door, and wondered in his heart, those soldiers didn't go to drive them away, as if they were acquaintances.
Although Ouyang is very curious, he doesn't have to take care of everything, and sending these ingredients into the palace is the most important thing right now.
Ma Wenbing and Tianxiang also looked at Ouyang and salivated, they didn't expect that it would be so simple to deliver food to the palace, Ma Wenbing thought that it still needed to go through a few tests, at least it would be escorted by a few people.
"Wen Bing, what did that person do just now, did he deliver food to the palace?" Tian Xiang asked, her thoughts were similar to Ma Wenbing's, why did she enter the palace with a cart alone?
Ma Wenbing said: "I think it should be, he sent so many vegetables, it must be for the people in the palace." ”
At this time, Tianxiang had a whim, and said to Ma Wenbing, "You say, will those three wicked people pretend to be the people who deliver vegetables and sneak into the palace? Or buy them and hide in the vegetables and sneak into the palace?"
"Those three wicked people?" asked Ma Wenbing, because he didn't think about it, so he didn't know which three wicked people Tianxiang was talking about for a while, but he soon knew who Tianxiang was talking about.
"Are you stupid? I'm talking about the monk, the Taoist priest, and the nun? Otherwise, which three people would I say?" Tianxiang asked rhetorically, this question still needs to be explained, is Ma Wenbing stupid?
"I know, I know, I just thought about it, I didn't think about that. Ma Wenbing said embarrassedly, "By the way, what question did you just ask? ”
Tianxiang was speechless, Ma Wenbing was thinking about the three wicked people just now, and forgot all the questions Tianxiang wanted to ask.
Tianxiang had to repeat, "I mean, will those three wicked people pretend to be vegetable deliverers and sneak into the palace?"
Ma Wenbing thought about Tianxiang's words for a while, and said, "There is this possibility, when that person comes out, how about we follow him?" ”
"Is this not a big deal?" said Amaka, "We don't have any evidence to follow him, and it wouldn't be good if he found out, it's illegal." ”
Tianxiang is the status of a princess, even if she really violates the law, she is naturally not afraid of any punishment, because members of the royal family enjoy immunity from the state, which is written in the laws of the country.
But Ma Wenbing is different, he doesn't have any royal status to exempt, although he is the champion of the food competition, this can't save him, so Tianxiang is very worried.
"It doesn't matter, we'll follow behind, we won't be discovered, just know where he lives, observe for a day or two, and we'll leave if there's nothing unusual, how about it?" Ma Wenbing said.
Tianxiang said, "Okay, you can do whatever you say, I just listen to you, I think it's actually quite boring to sit here, if it weren't for the new clothes, others would still think we were stinky and begging for food." ”
The look that Ouyang coveted them just now was very weird, and Tianxiang remembered it very clearly, so it had the meaning of being regarded as a beggar, so he said that.
At that moment, the two of them discussed and decided, and almost an hour later, that is, at noon, Ouyang came out with the empty car in his mouth.
Ma Wenbing didn't wait for that Master Li to come out, and ordered the soldiers guarding the door to leave, it seems that there should be no good news, so it's not too late to come back tomorrow.
