Meng Tian said: "Sir, don't get me wrong, I just see that all the people under Mr. reveal a taste of battlefield soldiers, and they have been in the army for a period of time, so they have a better understanding of some characteristics of soldiers." ”

"I see. The middle-aged man said with a smile, "What Tian Xiaoyou said is good, most of my subordinates are indeed from the army, because some of them committed military discipline and were driven out of the army, I don't want them to waste this ability in vain, so I spent some connections to recruit these people to my command to take care of my family and nursing home, so that they will not be unable to support their families because of the loss of the army's salary." ”

Although the man said this, Meng Tian felt that things were not so simple. Many of the guards he had seen had the marks of prisoners on them, and they had all committed some heinous crimes. These don't look like people from the army, but robbers and murderers. Meng Tian didn't continue to ask, he followed the middle-aged man and continued to walk, hoping to see more about the poppy.

The two left the backyard and returned to the lobby of the front yard. When they arrived at the hall, after the two sat down, the middle-aged man said, "I have already led Xiaoyou to see the poppies, and Xiaoyou hasn't told me how much you plan to have?"

Meng Tian thought for a while and said: "The poppy is definitely wanted, but I don't know if my ancestors are still a little hesitant about whether the poppy can withstand it, so I want to buy some and bring it back to my grandfather to try it, and then after determining the effect of this medicine, I am sending someone to find Mr. to continue to buy medicine." I wonder what Mr. thinks?"

"Of course, Xiaoyou is right to do this, what can I say. In this case, Xiaoyou don't want to call me a gentleman, I don't think the age difference between Xiaoyou and me is not very big, so if Xiaoyou doesn't dislike it, you can call me Brother Xiang. ”

Meng Tian said: "Since Brother Xiang is so gracious, the younger brother will naturally accept the order." After Meng Tian finished speaking, he seemed to remember something. "By the way, Brother Xiang, the younger brother has something in his heart for a long time, I don't know if I can ask Brother Xiang. ”

"It's okay to say something. ”

Meng Tian said: "The younger brother met a merchant in the Bashu realm during his previous travels, he was dressed very strangely, and at the same time, he was selling this poppy in his hand, the younger brother wanted to ask Brother Xiang, can you know this person?"

Xiang Feng saw that Meng Tian didn't answer immediately, thought for a while and said: "I don't know about this matter, but my people are very well-behaved, and without my permission, they don't dare to take the poppy outside to sell it privately." So I don't know the person that Brother Xian is talking about. ”

"Since Brother Xiang doesn't know, then let's treat it as if the younger brother didn't ask. After Meng Tian finished speaking, he stood up and said goodbye to Xiang Feng. Xiang Feng sent Meng Tian to the door of Zhuangzi and ordered his subordinates to bring Meng Tian's horses. When he saw the sweaty BMW that Meng Tian was riding, he couldn't help but marvel. Meng Tian rode on the black wind, punched Xiang Feng, and then rode the black wind away from here.

After Meng Tian's figure disappeared, the corners of Xiang Feng's originally smiling mouth immediately disappeared, and he said coldly: "Go and find me Liu Er, who was sent to the Qin State." After hearing the master's order, the subordinates next to him quickly left to find Liu Er in Xiang Fengkou.

Meng Tian rode the black wind out of Zhuangzi and returned to the Miluo River along the same route. The ferryman by the river was still on the shore, and when he saw Meng Tian riding back, he hurriedly stood up and greeted him.

Meng Tian stopped his horse, got off the horse and watched the ferryman trotting to him, and said with a smile: "Why, did my brother see gold or silver, running so fast, is he afraid that the gold and silver treasures will be picked up." ”

When the ferryman heard Meng Tian joking with himself, he didn't care. He said, "Little brother, how is the situation in the mountains?

Meng Tian smiled and shook his head, "I didn't buy a lot this time, but the owner who sold the medicine gave me a little bit and asked me to take it back to my family first, see how the effect is, and then decide whether to buy it or not." As he spoke, Meng Tian took out a small bag from his body, which Xiang Feng stuffed into his hand when he left, Meng Tian did not refuse Xiang Feng's kindness, and accepted it as a matter of course.

The ferryman believed Meng Tian's words, and the two walked to the riverside together, and after bringing Heifeng onto the boat, the ferryman sent Meng Tian back to the other side of the Miluo River. After getting off the boat, Meng Tian took out a piece of broken silver from his arms and gave it to the ferryman, who bent down deeply towards Meng Tian to show his gratitude.

Back at the inn, Meng Tian asked the owner about his wife, and then walked briskly to the second floor and returned to the room. Opening the door, Meng Tian walked in, Zi Yanran on the bed heard someone coming in, and she also woke up, and lay down again after seeing the person who entered the room.

Meng Tian walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, looked at the sleepy-eyed Zi Yanran, and touched Zi Yanran's forehead with his hand, it was no longer as hot as when he left, it seemed that the medicine prescribed by the pharmacy owner was quite effective.

Zi Yanran looked at her husband and said, "How is it, is the matter done?"

Meng Tian shook his head and said, "I don't feel that this matter is so easy to handle, maybe I thought wrong." Or maybe I chose the wrong person to suspect about this matter, but everything here is so normal that I can't find any other clues. We can only take one step at a time now, and you hurry up to take care of your body, so we can set off as soon as possible. ”

Zi Yanran nodded, and then fell asleep again.

Meng Tian left the bed and walked to the window of the room, looking at the scenery outside. From this room, you can directly see the Miluo River outside the town, as well as the wharf where people and goods are ferried by the river, and the green hills on the other side of the river, where countless poppies are planted.

Just when Meng Tian had seen enough of the scenery outside and was about to turn around and return to the room, he inadvertently saw what happened at the ferry. It turned out that the boatman who had crossed the river just now was talking to a few people, and the clothes on those people were the same as the clothes he had seen in Xiang Feng. Meng Tian felt that something was not quite right, it seemed that all this was really not as simple as he thought, before he asked Xiang Feng about Bashu meeting someone who sold poppies to Mi Fang, Xiang Feng said that he didn't know that he should have deceived himself, otherwise how could he be suspicious of himself and send someone to investigate himself.

Meng Tian closed the window, walked to the table in the room, poured a glass of water and held it in his hand, and then paced back and forth in the room, thinking about how to face Xiang Feng. According to the current situation, the people who sell poppies to Mi Fang are definitely inseparable from Xiang Feng, and there are those subordinates of Xiang Feng, although Meng Tian has not fought with them, but Meng Tian does not underestimate the strength of these people. After fighting on the battlefield, Meng Tian understood a truth, no matter how high your martial arts are, as long as you are surrounded by a few skilled veterans, it is not easy to get out. Therefore, Meng Tian still doesn't know much about the strength of Xiang Feng's subordinates, if it is true that these people are all from the military and have committed military discipline, then the actual combat ability of these people must not be weak, if they are surrounded, they may not be able to get out for a while.

Finally, there is Xiang Feng, Meng Tian thought about it carefully in the room, and found that the information revealed by this person was incomplete. First of all, Xiang Feng's background, he didn't talk about it to Meng Tian, and then there is where the money he earned from selling poppies was used, and who else was behind this Xiang Feng, if he didn't have a background, this Xiang Feng openly bought and sold poppies here without the official suppression of Chu. That's a strange thing. It seems that this Xiang Feng's power in the Chu State is not simple.

Just as Meng Tian was in the room talking about all the things he encountered today, there was a loud noise outside the room, which pulled Meng Tian back from his thoughts. Meng Tian opened the door and stood at the door and looked downstairs at the inn, it turned out that it was Xiang Feng's subordinates who came to the store and wanted to stay in the store, but they were told by the shopkeeper that the rooms in the store were already full of guests, and Xiang Feng's subordinates only wanted to live here, so they had a conflict with the innkeeper.

After the innkeeper knew the identity of the other party, he naturally didn't dare to shirk it, who let the family be the biggest snake here, in order not to disturb the other guests living here, the shopkeeper had to clean his room and let Xiang Feng's people live in it, which calmed down the matter. All this was seen by Meng Tian upstairs, and when he saw that the person sent by Xiang Feng to spy on him lived in the inn, he sneered at the corner of his mouth, and turned back to the room.
