Chapter 33: Covert Observation
The two walked slowly all the way, and unconsciously came to the gate of the ancient city.
At this time, people have begun to go out of the city gate to go home, and on the way, there are many couples who have just been successfully matched and go out happily holding hands.
Huang Quan felt that shopping on this street was really boring, and was thinking about whether to go out of the city to see people counting the stars and the moon, when he suddenly heard Huang Lian shouting: "It's the beggar brother in the morning." β
Huang Quan looked up, and the figure who walked out of the city gate really looked like the beggar who was crowded by the crowd this morning. He was wearing a black mask, and in the dark night, Huang Quan couldn't see his face clearly, but since Huang Lian said it was him, it was himβthis kid would never recognize the wrong person.
"Brother, he's wearing the same mask as you. Huang Lian exclaimed.
"See. Huang Quan replied slowly.
Huang Quan saw that he was walking fast, as if he was in a hurry to get out of the city, so he accelerated his pace, and just a few steps away, he saw the beggar who was walking hurriedly with his head down and bumped into a tall man, and his thin body was instantly knocked back to the ground.
"Boy, walk without eyes, look for death. "The man was tall and large, with a fleshy face, a big beard, and a fierce look.
The young beggar obviously didn't want to cause trouble, and when he saw that the guards at the city gate had noticed this, he said sorry to the other party a few times in a row, and then lowered his head and walked away quickly.
The burly man snorted heavily, and waved his thick arm vigorously, as if to show his muscles to those who were watching the excitement, and when he saw that someone turned his back and did not dare to look at him, he walked away with his might.
"Brother, your handkerchief has dropped. Huang Quan saw the handkerchief that had fallen from the young beggar's arms, walked over quickly to pick it up, and when he was about to return it to him, he was nowhere to be seen.
Why did this brother run faster than a rabbit, Huang Quan muttered quietly.
"Brother, this handkerchief still smells. Huang Lian twitched her nose.
"Don't talk nonsense, they're men...... Well, it's quite fragrant, I can't see it, this brother's taste is quite special. Huang Quan opened the white handkerchief, this handkerchief felt rough, it should be made of linen, embroidered around a few falling peach blossoms, and there were four lines of words sewn crookedly in the middle, and immediately said: "This little brother has a handsome face, but the words written are indescribable, and he really answered that sentence." β
"What words. β
"Let no man be a disfigurer. β
"Isn't it pretty?" Huang Lian clamored to see it, Huang Quan handed him the handkerchief, the former looked at it carefully under the light of the torch, raised his head, and said with a serious face, "Brother, this character is a bit similar to your writing." β
"Nonsense, even the old man in the family praised the words I wrote, saying that he was like flowing water, floating like a frightening dragon, and he was the first calligrapher in the world, which was as ugly as the one on this handkerchief. β
"I didn't lie to you, that's what Grandpa said. Huang Lian paused before adding, "But that's what he said after he was drunk." β
"Hmph, the little kid doesn't understand anything, give me back the handkerchief. β
"What's on it? I don't recognize it. β
"How old are you to be able to read. β
"What the hell is written? β
"Children are just curious. Although he said so, Huang Quan read out these four lines, "Peach blossoms in March, laughter in April, two people and one horse, tomorrow's hometown." β
"What do you mean?"
"I don't understand, this article is crepe, and it is not my style at first glance, so if you don't say that this word is like what I wrote in the future, I will definitely not admit it. Huang Quan said as he folded the handkerchief and put it in his arms.
On the city gate, Fu Ji was thinking alone, and the short and fat middle-aged man next to him was watching the people in Pangu City come and go, and he was always puzzled in his heart:
"Door master, why don't you do it tonight, tonight the people of the whole city gather in the ancient city, according to the old fox sent most of the forbidden army to maintain order, now the palace must guard the emptiness, it is the best time for us to do it." β
"Hehe, Houtu, people are still waiting for you to get into this rat cage. Moreover, Wushan is here. Fu Ji poured herself a glass of wine. Wine is a strange drink, sometimes everyone carnival until drunk, sometimes one person drinks a few sips, it is the same physical and mental comfort.
"Does the door master mean that they have already seen through our plan?" Houtu felt that Fu Ji might not be afraid of Wushan, but behind Wushan was the alliance of Wushan, and even Jigu had to avoid three points.
"Fu is known as a last resort, and it is by no means a waste of fame, and our every move, many times, he knows very well. β
"We have entered the internal response of the Chengtian Palace, and the news we have collected will never be less. β
"That's where this old fox is cunning, quiet, and sometimes deliberately acting, giving us false clues to confuse us. β
"The master of the door is right, if it weren't for the luck, we don't know that he would have ordered someone to pretend to be Princess Biluo to move around. True or false, I don't know what to do. β
"Doing this is nothing more than Biluo hiding some secrets that we don't know yet. Fu Ji raised the glass jade cup in his hand, shook it a few times, and the high-speed rotating wine formed a small whirlpool in the wine glass, and after a while, he stopped shaking and looked at these whirlpools that gradually slowed down, "Although I can probably guess it, it's best to get confirmed." β
Houtu nodded, Fu Ji is smart but naturally suspicious, and he has inherited the rigor of the Fu Xi family, he knows it.
Fu Ji slowly drank the wine in the cup, looked at the city gate, and happened to see a stout man and a thin beggar boy colliding together, and immediately smiled: "Look, a mouse is out so soon." β
"Do you want to send someone to keep an eye on her?" asked Houtu.
"No, as long as Wenwen is put on her, she won't be able to run. Fu Ji glanced at Houtu and saw that he didn't understand, so she explained: "If it's really her, with her alertness, you can find that someone is following you at once, and we don't need to do these things." β
"Yes, thank you for answering your questions, Houtu has benefited a lot. Houtu saluted Fu Ji, and when he bent over, he saw a tall man carrying a little boy walking leisurely in the direction of the city gate, and froze his expression: "These two teenagers are a little familiar." β
"What's wrong?"
"I think they're like two liars wanted by the princess, one big and one small, just right. But now it's night, and they're wearing masks, so their subordinates can't see clearly, so they're not sure. β
Fu Ji heard about this, and heard that someone deceived Prince Ji Zheng of 200 Jinbei, and played him around, Princess Biluo really couldn't stand it, so she issued a wanted warrant for the whole city to want these two liars. He didn't have the heart to care about these trivial things now, at this moment he was more sympathetic to Ji Zheng, if he found out that it was all a scam in the end, I don't know if this deposed prince, who often took the restoration of the Xuanyuan Dynasty's former national fortunes as his own responsibility, would collapse because of this.
He suddenly thought it would be funny, and maybe it would be even more interesting if he said it himself, but reason told him that now was not the time.
"Where's Ji Zheng?"
"Wushan and Princess Biluo have been following, and we can't find a chance to do it. β
"That means that the time has not yet come, in that case, don't do it yet, and wait for them to leave Tongbai Country. β
"Young master, if it weren't for that thousand-year-old demon who has been guarding him, we would have already succeeded in it, so why wait until now. β
"This is called stupid people have stupid blessings, and we don't have any. Fu Ji poured herself a glass of wine, "She is very alert, knowing that there are people from the Witch Alliance here all the year round, so she has long been hiding far away." β
"It's also very strange that the Witch Alliance didn't take the initiative to refine this demon. β
"You don't know this group of wizards to say that. The demons in the world, as long as they don't do evil and don't harm the world, they will ignore it, but if any demon touches this rule, no matter what the reason is, even if it is the first time, they will not hesitate to take action. In this way, this demon is still rational. β
"I see. β
Fu Ji held her chin, fell into deep thought, and asked Houtu: "Haven't you been able to find out her origin yet?"
"I can't find it. According to Fengguo's spies, she was elected to the palace as a show girl, Fengguo Gong has always loved her, maybe it was Shang Zhu who sent the tears of the shark king who could come back to life, and gave her to the abolished prince in excitement, and Fengjun regretted it afterwards. β
"Over the years, Shang Zhu has collected a lot of good things in Haojing. Fu Ji snorted coldly, "What about others?"
"You should drink alone in a tavern. β
"Send him a message that if he wants his daughter to return in good condition, don't miss it again. β
"Yes. However, the subordinates still don't understand one thing, why the door master has not met with Prince Ji Zheng, but you tried to let him come to Nanzhou in front of the valley master. β
"I'll see you every day in the future, and if we meet now, we'll get tired of it faster. Fu Ji drank all the wine in the wine vessel, and Houtu knew that he was about to get up and act, but he didn't know where he was going, so he asked, "Master, what are we going to do now?"
"If you can, you can save that mouse. Whether it's true or not, it's a pity to die in vain. Fu Ji stood up with a swish, and was about to leave, but he heard a soldier running quickly and muttering a few words in his ear.
Fu Ji gradually smiled, and said, "I came so late, forget it, it should be a gift for the old man." β
Houtu didn't know what was going on, just wanted to ask what was going on, Fu Ji strode out of the city tower, Houtu took the opportunity to whisper the soldier, the man laughed, and whispered: "The barbarians sneaked in, and at this time it is only twenty miles away from Tongbai Country, and it will arrive in an instant." β
When Houtu heard this, he hurriedly chased after him and said hello to Fu Ji.
