The shopkeeper's eyes were completely drawn to the piece of paper. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Because the scene in front of him is indeed exactly the same as what he silently guessed in his heart!

What the other party handed over to him was indeed an indispensable thing for opening a store.

It's just the potion in this bottle given by the National Teacher's subordinates...... This concentration has to be diluted again.

That seems to make the scroll look more natural.

After all, the shopkeeper in Northland has been running this shop for many years.

It is said that calligraphy and painting shops sometimes deliberately make some newly painted picture scrolls old at the request of customers.

That's right, it's the process of aging!

The liquid in the bottle is just right for this process.

Dripping paper will change the traces of the new drawing.

With the potion in his hand and the skillful craftsmanship of the shopkeeper, it is easy to change the impression of people.

The National Teacher is obviously aware of this.

Of course, if this kind of potion is used by unscrupulous profiteers, it can also be used to conceal customers and sell calligraphy and paintings at a higher price.

The shopkeeper's mind immediately made a judgment.

Without further ado, he decided to proceed right away.

After all, before leaving, the person sent by the National Teacher specially mentioned that he should not delay.

Buyers should be in town soon!

He had a hunch that the painting would not be in his hands for long!

He had to get things in order before the buyer showed up.

If it is delayed, I am afraid the consequences will not be good.

Even if the other party didn't come to the door to ask, he should be able to control the development of the situation in secret.

What happened in the town of Northland was tantamount to being under the noses of the empress and the national teacher.

Imagine that they were able to find the shopkeeper of a small shop in the town of Northland...... It is not surprising that there are more detailed arrangements in the future!

The shopkeeper has every reason to believe that they still have a back-resort.

...... The mist in the mountains was steaming, and Tianfang slowly approached the rocky beach by the hot spring pool with a guard.

This area looks familiar with the place that Tianfang once walked somewhere in his memory.

As he walked around, memories of the past flashed in his mind, and he couldn't help but say to the guard who followed, "You also came here last time?" ”

The guard shook his head and said, "Lord, the direction we are going in is still a little different. ”

While speaking, the guard paused, looked at the surrounding environment one after another, and finally stopped in the forest south of the pond and said, "I lost it over there." ”

Tianfang shook his head when he heard this: "The fog here is too thick!" ”

"It's easy to get obscured," he turned his gaze to Lin Zidao not far away, "And when you were following the secret guard, you were more worried about being discovered by him at that time, so you both said that you didn't dare to follow too closely." ”

"I've looked in the woods, and I've looked carefully where I haven't been on the rocky beach just now," Tianfang paused and continued, "There are obvious signs of people coming in and out here, and there are more than one place. ”

Tianfang trusts his own judgment even more.

Because of the distance, the tracking target in front of you is sometimes out of your field of vision.

This sentence is about the scene when the two Sea Kingdom guards followed Yun Chu's secret guards.

This time, if you come to search for it yourself, you will naturally have to look more carefully.

The focus of Tianfang's search has always been on the time when the dark guard disappeared in the mountains...... Where the hell did it go?!

In his opinion, it is definitely suspicious.

The climate of the Northland is obvious, and under the premise of such a cold environment, it is unlikely that the other party will spend time in the mountains and wilderness.

There must be a place in this mountain where the guards can hide or stop and rest, but it remains to be found.

Tianfang thought about it and looked at the guards who were following him and said, "I have to go on, you still follow me, remember to follow closely." ”

The guard nodded immediately, and the two of them continued to walk along the location of the rocky beach by the hot spring pool, following the traces left by the previous entry and exit of people as Tianfang said.

After walking for a short distance, it was a bend along the stream not far away.

When Tianfang walked with the guards, he saw a path through the hillside, and he didn't know where it meandered.

For the sake of prudence, Tianfang confirmed with the guards again and asked, "Last time you followed the secret guards, have you ever been to this place?" ”

"Lord," the guard shook his head at once, "Surely not, the direction is different, as Shicai has said." ”

...... The fog was obscured, and the sky between the forest leaves was a little hazy.

But when Tianfang and the guards were hurrying together, they could still feel that the light in the forest seemed to be a little darker.

Due to the heat of the hot springs in this area, it is difficult to accumulate in the area near the snow.

Instead, looking farther away at the top of the mountain, there was a white snow-capped scene.

"Lord, is it going to snow again later?"

When the guards followed the sky out, the weather looked good, but they spent more time hurrying in the mountains, and knew that the climate here was uncertain.

If you want to say that it rains and snows, you don't have to feel strange, it's commonplace.

Tianfang looked along the forest leaves, and quickly withdrew his gaze and continued to stare at the road under his feet.

He said in a low voice: "Don't worry, the road conditions in this area will not get worse, if you can see quickly and go down the mountain quickly, even if there is a little snow on the avenue, it will not affect the hurry!" ”

That being said, there are still plans in the sky, but there is no need to talk to the guards in detail, just improvise.

"I really don't understand why the war between the two sides is in this area of the Northland!"

The guard lowered his voice and grumbled.

"I don't know what is there to fight for in this place, is there still a treasure in the mountains?"

The guard remembered the news transmitted in the courtyard of the mansion, mentioning the alien camp in the mountains, and suddenly his mind turned, he looked at Tianfang and asked, "Lord, have you ever thought about the treasure of the Northland?" ”

The guard stared at the sky and said, "Lord, look at those aliens who are always searching...... Maybe it's a treasure hunt! ”

The guard couldn't help but smile when he said this.

Tianfang turned his head to look at him, and said lightly: "If there is really a treasure, there are not a few people who covet it." ”

"Not to mention the empress and the princess, I'm afraid that the aliens are thinking about dividing up."

"At this time, any news may come out!"

A smile flashed at the corner of Tianfang's mouth and said: "In short, for this battle, both sides have their own calculations. ”

After a few words in succession, the guard walked in front of a hillside, and suddenly stopped.

"Lord, look!"

About a dozen feet away from them, a simple forest hut appeared, which looked like a place where mountain people stopped hunting.

These are not the key, the key is that there is smoke wafting out of the small roof, which means that there are people in the house at the moment.

Tianfang restrained his smile and looked ahead with inquiring eyes.

His gaze fell on the small roof.

"Lord, I'll go faster, go over and have a look!"

The guard was in a hurry, and his body moved, but he was stopped by Tianfang.

Tianfang stood on the road and continued to look at it for a while, before walking over with the guards one after the other.

...... The door to the hut squeaks open!

Out of it was a man dressed as a mountain man, and he watched Tianfang approach the guards, and there was a moment of panic.

Looking from where Tianfang and the guards were standing, the man was clutching the handle of a firewood knife tightly in his hand.

Looking at his appearance, he was full of vigilance, and there was vigilance in his eyes.

Tianfang frowned a little suspiciously.

It stands to reason that the mountain people did not have the opportunity to see strangers.

Although this area is not close to the official road, there are always some people who go up and down the mountain or pass by to the nearby people throughout the year!

Tianfang sensed the other party's nervousness, but why was he so nervous, it was like something had happened!

After thinking about it, Tianfang immediately took a few steps back.

The guard swept his eyes and hurriedly made the same move with him.

The distance widened slightly, and the wariness in the eyes of the mountain people looked better.

"We were passing by, just walking around the neighborhood, and after the snow fell, we looked at this area without snow, and went into the hot springs near the forest, and we walked here."

"You live nearby?"

The guard explained the call in a gentle tone, then looked at the mountain people and asked.

His eyes were also on the mountain people standing at the door of the hut not far away.

The other party looks like a mountain person, and his temperament and appearance are all authentic mountain people, and he definitely not looks like a foreign race.

"You came up to the mountains to hunt, and you lived here temporarily?"

It can be seen that this is not a residence for mountain people, but a temporary resting house.

This kind of hut is common in the mountains, and the guards usually go to the mountains for their missions, and they have seen it more than once.

...... The mountain people threw some dead branches into the earthen stove to make the fire more vigorous.

At the same time, he took out a few black things from the baggage that was still in the corner and buried them next to the fire.

Tianfang sat with the guards near the door, and in the small room, he still kept a little distance from the mountain people.

Tianfang watched him do things with skillful movements, and turned his head to look at the guards beside him.

The guards of the Sea Kingdom go out and go a lot of times, and they also walk a lot in the mountains, and they also have experience in foraging for food in the wild to fill their stomachs.

They all understood that it was the dry food that the man had brought with him.

Although the man was reluctant to go into details, it seemed that he had gone up to the mountains to hunt.

...... "There is going to be war in this place, what are you two strangers doing in the mountains?" and not near the official road. ”

The mountain people finally had a response.

Hearing this, the guard hurriedly answered: "We just went to the mountain to have a look, isn't it snowing?" ”

"The scenery in this area is good, and there are hot springs on the road......"

Before the guard finished speaking, Tianfang on the side coughed a few times, and he suddenly stopped the topic and looked at his master.

After exchanging glances with Tianfang, the guards were silent.

Tianfang looked at the mountain people and said: "This area is not far from the battlefield in the north, and I still rushed to the mountains to hunt, don't you want to avoid it?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately saw that the mountain man's body trembled, as if he heard something that scared him, and even the movements of his hands stopped.

There was a moment of silence in the room, and after a long pause, the mountain people continued to speak.

...... "I've come to hunt in the mountains, and I've come this morning to inspect the traps that have been made in the mountains. ”

The mountain people glanced at Tianfang and the guards, paused and said, "I deliberately took the trail to the mountain before the sky was dark, just to see the trap." ”

The mountain people looked at them and said, "It's been too cold in the mountains these days, and I don't know the traps over there...... I don't know if I've caught it...... Caught alive? ”

Speaking of this, the mountain man's tone began to stammer, and Tianfang looked at him intently, and even the guards who followed him listened very carefully.

"Could it be that you met someone in the army on the mountain?"

The guard's mind turned, and he immediately asked.

The mountain man looked at him, shuddered, and then said: "Actually, we must have met them more often than in other places, but I have been up the mountain a few times, and I have been careful to avoid them, because I don't want to meet those people." ”

"You've all said that there will be a war in the Northland, and you must know that our area is close to the battlefield in the Northland," the mountain man sighed, "Many people in the village left here before the big battle, just like you said to go out to avoid the limelight. ”

The mountain people glanced at the sky and said: "My luck is good every time, to be honest, I haven't seen it on a few trips up the mountain, but I have seen it twice from a distance, and I haven't hit it head-on anyway!" ”

"This morning...... ...... in the morning"

"Did you bump into them?"

The guard sat up straight and hurriedly asked.

The mountain people nodded, and after a short pause, they continued: "It snowed last night, and the snow stopped at dawn, so I have to go out urgently." ”

"When I got to this neighborhood, I heard the sound of horses' hooves not far ahead," said the mountain man, clenching his fists, "and I quickly hid at that moment." ”

"But this time, my luck is not good, the person who came doesn't know what's going on, I hid behind a big rock and was found by him!"

When the mountain man said this, he said with a frightened look in his eyes: "He immediately took out the bow and arrow he was carrying. ”

"Good guys!"

"That arrow just grazed my sleeve, I was scared to death, I thought I was going to die!"

The mountain people looked very nervous when they mentioned this scene, and their expressions when they looked at Tianfang and the guards were clearly palpitating.

The guards suddenly felt in their hearts, no wonder they heard the movement before, and the mountain people stood at the door of the hut with the handle of the firewood knife in their hands...... Purely because I was scared by the soldiers passing by this morning!

Tianfang was silent when he heard this, thought for a while and looked at the mountain people and asked, "You said that you shot an arrow at the location where you were hiding, that ...... Is the arrow still there? ”

The mountaineer glanced over Tianfang's face, then at the bag in the corner of the room, and he walked over and picked up an arrow beside him.

He walked up to Tianfang, squatted down and handed it to him to inspect, "This is it!" ”

He recalled: "I watched people go away, and it took a lot of effort to pull it out, and this arrow was stuck in a tree next to me, but it was deep! (To be continued.) )
