At night in Nanhua Town, there are very few people passing by on the streets.

Cloaked in the night, the man in Tsing Yi slowly walked out of the small alley.

He stood on the corner for a moment, his gaze fixed on the inn not far ahead.

Only up close could you notice a hint of resentment in his eyes staring into the distance, and his appearance was different from that of a man when he was seen on the streets of the town during the day.

The man in Tsing Yi stared at it for a while before turning to leave.

Walking on the streets of the town late at night, he was directed to an abandoned courtyard in the town, which was considered a temporary residence.

Since his younger brother, the Martial Doctor, who was respected by the townspeople, left Nanhua Town, he had almost no fixed residence these days.

The number of merchants from the north of the town gradually decreased, and the war slowly affected not only the situation, but also the business in a small town like Nanhua.

The man in Tsing Yi clearly knew in his heart that if he cut off his younger brother's help, the next days would only be more difficult.

Walking through the long street, I saw many closed shops on both sides of the street.

The facts before him reminded him that the situation was completely different from five years ago.

Thinking about this, he quietly clenched his fists.

The year is over, and the long-awaited plan is almost the time of the day.

He decided to go into the mountain again, just as he had five years earlier.

Let the people in the town who are laughing at him, both openly and secretly, wait and see!

The afterglow of the setting sun faded, and a heavy twilight rose in the mountains.

The group walked along the mountain path through the woods. All the way to the direction of Nanhua Town.

The man in the lead of the group slowed down as he bypassed a mountain stream.

Then a few people gathered around him and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"This place is close to the boundaries of Nanhua Town," the one who started whispered. "Do you think we're going to stop in town or just bypass the Northlands?"

The leader of the group looked ahead for a moment, then looked at his companion with hesitant eyes and continued: "Long before the tracking, the meaning of the Lord was very clear. ”

"We all know what the Lord wants," he continued, changing his tone, "but there are always variables on our way. "What's more, Sealand is not our own territory."

"Therefore. I thought about it, and I felt that I still had to discuss things with the big guys, and I had an open and honest explanation. He turned to look at his companions, "Take this opportunity to share your thoughts as well." ”

"What the hell are we going to do next?"

A group of people always have a decisive opinion!

You have to have a plan and an arrangement before you travel. When you do things, you are at ease. Unhurried.

"Nanhua Town is nothing more than a stopover between the North and Suzhou."

The mountain wind blew, and after a brief silence, the companions in the team looked at the others and bowed their heads. "No matter how we stop or not, the final destination will not be this town."

He said it very reasonably, and several people nodded in agreement when they heard this.

After thinking about it, one of the members of the team also spoke: "The little junior sister of the lord has left no traces in Suzhou City, and it is very likely that she will go directly to the north. ”

"Not bad." Another responded, "As I see it." Otherwise, it would not have been possible to stay in the city for so long without finding her message. "Our means are clear, if the other party is either deliberately hiding his whereabouts, he would have left Suzhou a long time ago."

In his opinion, the latter probability is much higher!

"The lord and that little junior sister have been separated, and the other party's change of plan is expected." The one at the head of the line fits this statement.

"Nanhua Town can be stopped or not."

"I agree."

The group said their thoughts one after another, and the meaning they expressed sounded similar.

The one who took the lead made a concluding statement and nodded happily: "Since your thoughts are not much different from mine, why don't we take a detour to Nanhua Town and go directly to the Northland." ”

"Okay," several of them agreed, almost in unison.

"Counting the little junior sister on the master, after the escape, we have been pulled down a lot of trips," he thought carefully and said, "If you want to join her earlier, you have to work harder." ”

"Yes, that's right!"

"Rush to the Northland early, and people will definitely be able to find it successfully." "What the brothers say makes a lot of sense."

After the discussion, the group set out on the road again, passing through the rugged mountain road in the forest, and soon onto the official road.

A short section of the official road ahead, because there is a landslide mountain road in front of the forest road, it is rare to take the official road.

At this time, it is already night, and if you rush to change to ordinary people, you may be frightened, but for these people under the heavens, night roads are commonplace.

Even on the official road, they still walk through it with a comfortable demeanor.

The total number of people is actually not much, and many of the people mobilized by the national capital city have been left in the east of Suzhou City.

Tianfang took a boat to the south, just for the troubles of the south of Zealand.

They remembered the Lord and did not dare to mobilize all their men to the north.

Besides, if she can find the little junior sister of the Lord, even if it is these few people in the Northland, it will be enough to protect her whole body and retreat.

If you can't find it, it will be redundant to arrange more manpower.

The sound of horses' hooves sounded in the woods, and there were occasional whispers of chatter.

"I don't know if I can finish the matter smoothly on this trip."

Someone in the team said worriedly.

"Sure, but it depends on the Lord's intentions."

Someone in the team whispered, "I always feel that the fire is burning a little strangely, and I can't explain it." ”

"Hey, I've been thinking about this for a long time, but I didn't expect you to say it first."

A chorus sounded in the team, and the group was used to doing tasks, and at this moment in the wilderness, there was no one around. The sound of horses' hooves could not even be heard in the distance.

At this time of year, the vast majority of people who are in a hurry will stop at a place such as a mountain temple in the middle of the road to rest.

They are exceptional because of their special status.

There are many people and strength to rely on. Not worried that the words would be heard, but the person at the head of the line frowned and spoke again.

"Outside Suzhou City, the two people we met before are rarely on the same path as us."

He paused, pondered for a while, and then said, "I look at those two people, they don't look like mountain people, but they are not from the Sealand army. ”

"In my opinion. It is most likely that someone from a big family in Suzhou came out to do business. ”

Just as the guards had guessed their identities with their companions before, these people also made a rough guess about their identities.

The latter is also a bit more accurate

After less than two hours of sleep, I woke up.

Look up at the window. It was about the time when it was close to dawn.

I got up from the chuang, walked over to the table, and counted the contents of the baggage I was going to take with me one last time.

Because I had already gone to the southeast of Nanhua Town yesterday to ask about the market, I knew that it should not be a problem to take the caravan to the north.

My mood is much lighter.

I only think about the samurai family. There are still some doubts mixed in.

Replace it with no target. I'll definitely find a way to figure out some doubts, I didn't know anything about Nanhua Town when I met Wu Yu on the way.

Otherwise, if I heard the rumors at that time, I think I should ask Wu Yu.

But when I think about it, I always consciously or unconsciously associate this matter, including the people I met in the town, with Master Wang.

I can't even explain why this is happening.

The fact that Wang Shi did not enter Suzhou sounded a little strange to others, and they stayed in the mountains around Nanhua Town and did not move, and they did not even know when they would continue to advance.

On this premise. The strange things I heard, the weirdos I met at the inn. I can't control my own thoughts, and I always think about Wang Shi.

Aren't they in the mountains spying on something?

Nanhua Town is between the north and Suzhou, the geographical location is a little delicate, among all the people who pass through the town, it is easy to mix in the spies of the north, and naturally there are also people sent to the north by Wang Shi.

It seems to be mixed into a pot of porridge, and it is quite a chaotic thought.

I heard footsteps in the hallway, interrupting my thoughts, perhaps early risers preparing to get on their way.

I walked to the window and pushed it open to look out.

Someone in the front yard was standing under the flower tree and talking.

I looked closely, it was the young man at the inn and the guest who had come to ask for hot soup.

All told, the two men didn't get much rest all night.

The guest had not spoken a few words to the young man, and looked over to the window where I was standing.

Looking over from the angle from which I was standing, my eyes at that moment were actually somewhat familiar, as if I had seen them somewhere.

He looked at me for a moment, and I noticed that when he turned around, he was clearly carrying a burden on his back.

This weirdo is also planning to leave the town so early? Or go for a stroll around town?

I was thinking when the young man followed his gaze and looked over to me.

When he saw me, he looked much more enthusiastic and waved his hand in my direction.

Since they were both discovered, I didn't have to hide it, so I immediately made a gesture and planned to go downstairs.

The strange man who was talking to the young man strode out of the courtyard just as I was about to turn around.

Judging from this, he has even settled the account of the hotel, and he will leave immediately!

If it weren't for that, why would he be carrying such a big burden.

Originally, the back was a little rickety, and it was even more obvious when it was pressed by the burden.

I turned around and looked at the package I had placed on the table, at least a little smaller than his.

Actually, I brought most of Wu Yu's things, including the small pot.

It took me a quarter of an hour to clean the well in the backyard before I got rid of the smell of medicine.

If the taste of the medicinal juice remains, the pot made by Wu Yu will be considered a waste!

Before closing the door, I rechecked the room to make sure I didn't miss anything, except for the clutter I didn't want to bring with me.

The baggage is more than when I entered Nanhua Town, and the content is more!

Walking out the door, there was not a single guest on the promenade.

The guest I heard the footsteps of earlier probably went out like the strange man.

I walked alone on the promenade, and then went up the wooden staircase up the inn, where the young man took a bag of things from the large kitchen in the backyard and held it in his hand.

He was quicker than I was, and I saw him say goodbye to the strange man at the window, and he was running back and forth in the big kitchen!

The young man came to me, handed me the bag and said with a smile: "Our shopkeeper kept watch last night, and he didn't go back to sleep until half an hour ago, and he asked me to give you this bag of dry goods." “

The young man looked at me and said, "You are going to the Northland today, and you can use it on the road when you take the caravan car." "Thank you." I didn't immediately reach out to pick it up, but said to the young man, "There must be a reason to accept things, otherwise I'm embarrassed." "The shopkeeper said that you will be paid for cooking."

The corners of the young man's mouth were raised, and he looked at me and said in a sincere tone. "Cooking is for the sake of buying furs, in the final analysis, it's all my own business, how can I let the innkeeper pay me?"

I frowned and stared at the young man. "That's not what I said, our shopkeeper said, the food you made last night, the guests were very happy, which is equivalent to helping the master Ding of our inn."

The young man winked at me and said, "It's something that benefits both sides. "You bought what you wanted, and we entertained the guests to their satisfaction."

The young man's words are naturally right, and it is a win-win in itself.

Before he finished speaking, he looked at me and continued: "The hot soup you made last night, our shopkeeper also tasted it, and said that it tasted excellent, no, because we also have to pay you for this." "I'm here to inquire about the samurai family." I'm honest. "The first two are reasons, but the most important is the third," said the young man, who looked at me for a pause, "and you saw the guest before, the one who was a little eccentric. "He came to the inn lobby in the middle of the night, and settled the money for the hotel at that time, and gave a lot more by the way, saying that it was for the bowl of hot soup last night."

I looked at the young man with wide eyes in surprise, and he said calmly: "Our shopkeeper doesn't want to accept it, he said that the extra money will be given to you directly." “

It took a long time to get it, and this is the most critical part of the problem.

The young man took out a small bag from his bosom and handed it to me, "The dry goods are our shopkeeper to thank you, and this is the money left by the guest who drank the soup." "You went to the southeast of the town to find a caravan, do you know the road?" The young man asked.

I came back from my trance and watched him nod his head, temporarily losing the ability to think. "That's good, if you rush out, I won't talk to you more, but unfortunately I still have to be on duty at the inn today, so I can't walk away."

The young man said this with a look of pity on his face, and he said to me with regret

The sky was shining, and I carried my big burden along the street all the way out of Nanhua Town. (To be continued.) )
