Chapter 49: Little fresh meat on the surface, old fox behind it!
After five days of bumping on horseback, the two newly appointed hidden soldiers of the Demon Mansion finally arrived in a crowded city.
Leading the horse to walk on the street where people are surging and the cries are loud and flowing, Xiang Yuan looks at the bits and pieces around with interest.
He still prefers a lively city, perhaps because of the instinct of a social creature like humans.
The city they are in now is called Xiadu, and it is a medium-sized city that is not too big or too small.
It is located at the end of the entire Liao River.
Because of the geographical location, close to the canal and waterway, the economic atmosphere of Xiadu is strong.
Although it is not as big as a big city like Runan, it can be regarded as a rich land.
This can be seen from the bustling of pedestrians on the street.
Xiang Yuan lingered left and right with interest here.
Song Ning, who was languishing on horseback, was lying on his stomach weakly.
The continuous diarrhea drained all the strength and spirit of her body.
Fortunately, now that it's time to go down, as long as you can find a medical center, this little problem should be recovered quickly.
"Bear with me, I'll take you to the hospital. After comforting the sick Song Ning, Xiang Yuan stopped two passers-by on the street and asked about the location of the nearest medical hall.
Then he pulled the two horses and walked in the direction pointed by the passer-by.
......
On the soft collapse of the medical hall, after Lang Zhong looked at Song Ning's situation, he turned his head and asked Xiang Yuandao:
"The diarrhea is so bad, what did you eat?"
"Hehe, when I was playing in the wild, I hit a few live creatures, and they may not be very cooked. Glancing at Song Ning, who was lying on the bed with weak energy, Xiang Yuan smiled awkwardly.
"There are many poisonous and evil insects in wild objects, how can they be roasted and eaten casually. Shaking his head and whispering, Lang Zhong walked to the medicine shelf and took out two palm-sized wooden boxes.
"This is an antidiarrheal pill for stomach nourishment, take one after dinner every day, and it will be better in about three days.
In recent days, avoid oily and spicy.
And next time, remember not to eat indiscriminately, this level of diarrhea is very damaging to the body.
If it is delayed for a long time, there is even a fear for your life. When he handed the pill to Xiang Yuan, Lang Zhong didn't forget to explain two more sentences.
Perhaps in his opinion, Xiang Yuan is already an unreliable person.
thanked Langzhong, paid the medicine money, and Xiang Yuan helped Song Ning out of the medical hall.
"I'm afraid you can't go in a hurry, anyway, there is still plenty of time, let's stay here and leave when you are well." ”
Looking at Song Ning's vain footsteps, Xiang Yuan suggested.
"Okay. Although he was still reluctant to delay time so much, his body really couldn't continue to hurry, Song Ning nodded reluctantly.
found a decent inn in the city, let the guy take away the horses and feed them, and Xiang Yuan helped Song Ning to the guest room on the fourth floor.
"You can rest first, and I'll ask the guy to bring it to you after dinner." ”
Helping Song Ningan to lie down on the bed, Xiang Yuan left the inn alone.
This time they were sent to the Daoliao River area, and in addition to carrying the standard equipment of the hidden soldiers, he and Song Ning only had a set of clothes and sixty taels of silver tickets on their bodies.
The reason why Song Ning was in such a hurry to come out after settling down was to quickly buy a change of clothes for himself and Song Ning.
After four or five days in the mountains, it was simply impossible to take a bath.
So in the past few days, the smell of the two of them is not foul, but also full of bad smell.
As it gets dark, the merchants on the street begin to hang red lanterns at their doors.
The vendors along the street estimated their income for the day while hurriedly closing their stalls and preparing to go home.
bought clothes, and then walked around the big and small shops in the city, in order to find equipment, this has almost become Xiang Yuan's habit.
Without any findings, Xiang Yuan bought three golden and fragrant lotus leaf roast chickens on the way back, and returned to the inn satisfied.
Eating those half-baked things in the wild these days has no condiments, but it has spoiled him, and he will have to make up for it tonight.
The door creaked open.
Xiang Yuan turned his head to look in the direction of Song Ning, but next to the bed where Song Ning was sleeping, there was a man in a dark cyan power suit standing at this moment.
"Thief?" Looking at the man in a strong suit and a somewhat handsome appearance, Xiang Yuan put the clothes and roast chicken in his hand on the table, and asked with raised eyebrows.
As the saying goes, the artist is bold.
If an ordinary person suddenly discovers that a stranger has entered his house, he will be shocked.
And what Xiang Yuan was thinking about at the moment was that this little thief could eat a few of his own big-eared scrapers.
Glancing up and down at Xiang Yuan, the man slowly rolled up the sleeve of his right arm, revealing an iron-black mark.
It's the signal of the hidden soldiers of the Demon Mansion!
"Together?" Seeing the message of the Demon Mansion on the man's forearm, Xiang Yuan's expression was a little surprised, but he didn't expect that they had just entered the city, and someone from the Demon Mansion actually came to the door.
"Xiang Yuan. Looking closely, the signal on the man's arm was exactly the same as his own, and Takeo stretched out his right hand.
He also stretched out his right hand and shook it with Xiang Yuan, and the man said softly: "Fan Guchun." ”
"How did Your Excellency know that we were here?" asked Fan Guchun when he sat down and asked Xiang Yuan.
"I said hello earlier.
It was said that two of my colleagues would descend in the next two days, and I saw you as soon as you entered the city today.
It's just that Brother Xiang is in a hurry, and when I came to the inn, this girl was the only one in the room. Fan Guchun took out two pieces of drawing paper from his arms, and the drawings on the paper were Xiang Yuan and Song Ning.
took the scroll with his own appearance, and grinned at Xiang Yuan: "The painting is quite similar." ”
"But this piece of paper seems to be a little new. Rubbing a trace of ink on the scroll with his fingers, Xiang Yuan rolled the paper into a ball: "This portrait should have been painted by Brother Fan just today." ”
There was a slight change in his expression, and Fan Guchun smiled lightly: "What do you mean by Brother Xiang?"
Throwing away the paper ball in his hand, Xiang Yuan bent down and sat on the chair, and said slowly:
"A large-scale outbreak of yin ghosts broke out in the Liaohe region, and the various towns under the Demon Mansion of Bazhong County guarded the yamen, and they all sent people to reinforce one after another.
It's just that there are six cities in the Liaohe region, and so far, the most serious outbreaks of Yin ghosts are Wancheng and Pengcheng, which are close to the center of the Liaohe River, followed by Andong and Tongqi.
Xiadu and Minxian counties, which are located at one end and one end of the Liao River, are the lightest.
These people who came to support should have come more or less with the idea of striving for military merit.
Therefore, they prefer to go to Wancheng and Pengcheng, and no matter how bad it is, it is Anton or Tongqi.
For Xiadu and Minxian, they are definitely not willing to stay.
That's why Brother Fan, you came up with this method, wanting to drag the passing hidden soldiers to stay and assist you.
I'm right. ”
Before Xiang Yuan and Song Ning came, the shopkeeper Tian had already given them a briefing on the situation in the Liaohe region.
Although Xiang Yuan didn't care, Song Ning read it seriously and relayed it to him.
In his previous life and Xiang Yuan, who was almost fifty years old in this life, his mind was far more mature and cunning than his young body.
What is the identity of him and Song Ning?
It's just a fluke that has passed the selection and recruitment of newcomers.
With their identity, how could someone deliberately spread their whereabouts.
The logic simply doesn't make sense.
So Xiang Yuan pondered for a while and figured it out.
This colleague is actually deceiving them, and the purpose is obvious.
Smiling at Fan Guchun, who looked embarrassed, Xiang Yuan got up and patted the shoulder of the colleague who had been exposed to the trick:
"What you are doing, in fact, I can understand that if it weren't for the lack of manpower, you wouldn't have made such a decision. ”
"Brother Xiang is delicate and observant. Fan admired, in fact, it was exactly as Xiang said to his brother.
The hidden soldiers who came to support from all over the country tended to go to Wancheng and Pengcheng in the hardest-hit areas.
There are more yin ghosts there, and it is easier to obtain military merits, which is human nature and deserves to be.
But I didn't go down unharmed, and during this time, there were already a lot of ghosts flowing from Anton and Tongshu.
Caused several incidents of ghosts hurting people.
We are really a little difficult to deal with, so we came up with such a clumsy plan, please forgive me. ”
Raising his hand and clenching his fists, Fan Guchun looked apologetic, and he was helpless in his heart.
I didn't expect that we finally came up with a plan, and the first time we used it, we were seen through at a glance, and we originally thought that this plan was seamless, but now it seems that we are taking it for granted.
"Brother Fan is polite, in fact, there is no need for Brother Fan to be so troublesome.
The two of us had planned to go down for a while now. Turning around, he said a pleasantly surprised news to Fan Guchun.
Xiang Yuan said: "To tell you the truth, both of us are newcomers who have just been selected by the branch, and this is the first time we have gone out on a mission. So we would like to familiarize ourselves with the situation before we go down.
If you want to talk about this matter, you have to trouble Brother Fan. ”
"It's not troublesome, it's not troublesome, so it's great. "I didn't expect that there would be another village, Fan Guchun smiled.
Although Xiang Yuan claimed to be a newcomer, it could be seen from his terrifying and burly physique that this person must not be an ordinary person.
Newcomers with this kind of quality, what they lack is only a certain amount of basic experience, and as long as they bring a little bit of it, they will soon be able to form an effective combat force.
"Then when my friend is well, let's go to your yamen to report, she is really sick and can't get up. Pointing to Song Ning, who was sleeping on the bed, Xiang Yuan smiled.
"This is natural. Nodding, Fan Guchun took out a wooden note and handed it to Xiang Yuandao: "When these colleagues are ready, the two of you will take this wooden note to the Mito tea stall in the east of the city, where someone will pick up the two and go to the town to guard the yamen." ”
Xiang Yuan put away the wooden note, and wanted to keep Fan Guchun for dinner, but the local hidden soldier didn't seem embarrassed to stay, and after refusing politely, he left in a hurry.
Standing by the window and watching Fan Guchun disappear after walking into an alley, Xiang Yuan looked down at the wooden note in his hand and chuckled twice.
As soon as I fell asleep, someone brought me a pillow, and it seems that I am in luck.
