Chapter 174: Guess

What caught his attention was a group of gruff men drinking together at two merged tables near the door, and the conversation was so loud that the roof was humming with the sound of fist guessing.

The big men were bulging out of their clothes, most likely with weapons, and combined with their rude demeanor as if no one was around, the leader couldn't help but secretly guess their identity. But there was not the slightest recklessness. He just subconsciously put his hand into his arms, and after touching something, he breathed a long sigh of relief.

The leader lifted the teapot on the wooden table, filled the teacup in his hand, sniffed carefully, and after making sure that there was no problem, he drank it in a big gulp, but still looked at the door intentionally or unintentionally.

The noise thinned out, and the conversation at the table next to him caught his attention. A villager asked a merchant: "Brother, what news did you bring with you when you came from the south this time?" I heard that Da Mang sent 600,000 troops to capture Canghai City this time, is it true?"

Suddenly, the voices were lowered, and people listened with their ears sideways, and their eyes were cast with concern from all directions.

Seeing that he was so valued, the merchant suddenly became reserved. He stroked his short beard and said in a shuffled voice: "Brother, I know the news, brother." But you also know that in this chaotic era, you can eat indiscriminately, and you can't talk nonsense! I am here to say that it is called disturbing people's hearts, and if the big people in the sea and the city know about it, they will lose their heads. ”

"Oh!" the cry was full of disappointment and frustration, since the protection of Canghai City, the border has been peaceful for many years, but this time it seems to be a little different from usual. The latest and fastest updates

The people of the border, what they want to hear most in the near future is clear news from Da Mang, and their anxiety is almost like longing for a clear spring in the desert.

Even the owner of the counter couldn't sit still, he brought a pot of wine to the table: "Sir, this is a little bit of our store's heart, moisten your throat." Just be bold and say that most of you here are also from the town, and you will never spread the word. ”

There was a noise on the table on all sides: "Yes, yes, the boss is right, this gentleman, you can tell everyone!"

A rough man stood up: "Sir, please, we are so anxious, can we stay on this border, if Da Mang really has the intention of taking Canghai City, why does Da Han have no support at all, Zhongjing City has not even reacted at all until now!"

At first, the merchant was still holding his beard with a reserved smile and listening to everyone, but after listening, the smile disappeared from his face.

His expression was solemn, and he put the cup on the table: "Ladies and gentlemen, I, Wang Erhu, am just a businessman who walks around the village and alleys to sell groceries, and I don't understand military affairs, but one thing, I have seen with my own eyes, the reckless army is indeed gathering like the border, if I didn't come out early, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to come out at this time." ”

"Huh?" The quiet inn lost its voice instantly, except for a few big men sitting at the door who were eating meat and drinking wine at the door as usual, and the leader who had just come in was still drinking tea, the rest of the people stood up in a panic after hearing this.

Suddenly, a loud laugh came from nowhere, which immediately interrupted everyone's panic.

The villagers glared angrily: "Who is laughing there!"

A voice suddenly sounded among the several big men sitting at the door, and hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, it's me." ”

Only then did the villagers realize that there was a young man who was about the same as an ordinary person sitting among these big men, but sitting with those big men was really like a child, which people could ignore directly.

Sitting alone by the fireplace, wrapped in a snowy coat around the leader whose face he couldn't see clearly, he suddenly got up, gently slapped the teacup in his hand on the table, and then silently looked at the laughing young man, and then frowned tightly.

More than a dozen villagers got up and walked over with courage, and their voices were very unkind: "What are you doing, where are you from, and what are you doing in our town?"

The young man shook his hand innocently, but there was still a smile on his face that could not be concealed, which made the villagers even more annoyed.

"What are you laughing at?"

The young man restrained his smile, and after thinking that his current temper seemed to be more like someone, he lowered the table with some chagrin: "I'm sitting there in Xiaoming, there is a person who understands you don't ask, but here you listen to his nonsense." ”

The young man pointed to the leader sitting by the fireplace and said disdainfully.

The merchant's face was even more blue and purple, and he hurriedly packed up his things and hurriedly pushed the door out, and before leaving, he did not forget to glare at the young man viciously, and the young man saw it, but he didn't seem to pay attention to it at all.

When many villagers saw the merchant rushing out of the door, they thought that it was probably all nonsense, and for a moment they were shocked to believe the young man's words, and turned to look at the leader.

The leader looked at the many big men at the door and the young man who was surrounded by them and said, "We are passing by, and we will stay here for the night. I don't know anything very clearly, everyone on a blind date, let's not interfere with the river water, I don't care about your business, you'd better not come to mess with me. He was neither humble nor arrogant, and there was a sense of awe-inspiring inviolability in his words.

"Oh, really?" said the young man, who stepped out of the crowd and stood in front of the square table. Staring intently at the leader.

"Then dare to ask where you came from and where are you going?"

"I know too much, but I'm going to die. "The leader finally lost the last trace of patience, these border people who don't know the height of the sky, if they don't get it right, it will ruin their own big things, it is better to scare them, let them know the difficulties and retreat, don't come to provoke themselves, after all, with important letters, stability is the key to this trip.

The young man still did not seem to flinch at all, and said loudly: "Friend, Lang Lang Qiankun, Zhao Zhao Sun and Moon, what is there to see! Since everyone is Han, what can there be?" ”

As he spoke, several big men behind him stood up as best they could.

For a moment, there was a hint of recklessness, and in the eyes of those villagers, there seemed to be a little more of a soldier's unique killing aura.

The leader's face changed suddenly, and in an instant, he could see that these people were all from military backgrounds, and when he thought about it, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his back.

Then he put his finger in the corner of his mouth and whistled hard.

The whistle was so sharp that it pierced the entire inn in an instant.

After a few moments, the men who had gone upstairs dressed themselves to the best of their ability, and then ran up behind the leader and stood up. Several of them were extremely fat under the sleeves of their left arms, and only those who walked between the martial arts would know that it was caused by the boxes of the crossbow arrows.

After receiving support, the leader was obviously more confident.

"Can you lend me the letter in your hand?" the young man didn't seem to see the huge formation, and still asked methodically.

The leader's brow furrowed suddenly. The group of people was really coming for themselves. Then silently calculated the difference in strength between the two sides. Finally, he smiled calmly.

"Why do you think you have a lot of people, or have crossbow arrows?" the young man pursed his lips disdainfully. "When will the Imperial Forest Army also be equipped with crossbow arrows? Wei Shuyang's courage is getting smaller and smaller. ”

The leader's face changed again, and became a little gloomy.

Obviously, the other party had expected that he would pass through here, and he came prepared.

"Who are you? The leader simply tore the cloak off his body, revealing the long knife under the cloak, and then asked coldly.

"Guess. There was a smug in the young man's eyes.

"After reading this letter, you will be punished by the Nine Clans, aren't you afraid?"

"Afraid, sir, you can only scare these simple villagers. “
