Chapter 30: The Secret Passage of Feicheng
87_87438 After about half an hour, they entered the city.
The gray and abrupt city walls are similar to what I saw on TV in my previous life, but they are even older. There are many traces of attack on it, and there is a large wooden sign hanging on the city gate, on which are written two large characters "Feicheng".
Before entering the city, they slowed down, and dismounted at the gate of the city and entered on foot.
And before that, Yi Xun already wore a human skin mask on his face. An ordinary face, the kind that can't be seen when thrown in the crowd.
Shouxin didn't make a fuss, in the past thirteen years of growth, she knew too many legendary things, and she had long been used to it.
When they entered the city, they divided into several groups and entered the city.
Maybe it was a peaceful era, the country and the people were safe, and the officers and soldiers defending the city only took a few glances and let people in.
Then they met at a restaurant in the city, led by the shopkeeper, and went directly to the backyard of the restaurant.
The shopkeeper was very respectful to Huang Zhenwei, although he shouted: "Guest officer! But the attitude towards Huang Zhenwei is obviously not the attitude towards ordinary guests, and Yi Xun walked beside Huang Zhenwei without saying a word, and the shopkeeper did not say anything to him. It seems that the shopkeeper thought that these people were headed by Huang Zhenwei. Yi Xun obviously ignored these and fully played the role of an ordinary person.
It doesn't look very inconspicuous in a small restaurant, and there is a hole in the backyard.
"Get some food, and you won't have to bother with the rest!" Huang Zhenwei explained to the shopkeeper, and led people into the room with ease.
This room is about 100 square meters, and there are six large tables in it, which seems to be used for banquets.
"Yes!" The shopkeeper was busy getting ready.
At this moment, Shouxin noticed that there were as many as thirty people who had entered the tavern, and now everyone was seated at four tables, and no one said a word. Many of them are still fresh faces, and Shouxin has never seen them at all.
Yesterday, when they were camping outside the city, there were obviously not so many people, and I am afraid they came after entering the city. And these people seem to be masters of martial arts, and kung fu is almost all above guarding the heart.
looked at them quietly, and found that Yi Xun, who was wearing a human skin mask, also blended in with everyone, quietly, I'm afraid that except for himself and Huang Zhenwei, no one else knows that he is the master! But everyone was quiet, and no one said anything.
Soon, the dishes began to be served, starting with four cold dishes, four hot dishes, and one soup per table. It's not much, but it's a lot. Rice is also brought into the room in a pot, on a long wooden table at the door.
The servant brought it to the table and then went out and closed the door, and even the shopkeeper never appeared again.
"Okay, let's eat, you've worked hard for this time!" Huang Zhenwei said a word, and everyone began to eat, and it was very fast.
The same is true for Shouxin, after listening to Huang Zhenwei's words before, he knew that he would bring everyone to improve the food when he entered the city, so he must have come here to eat!
And here, Shouxin met the real big stomach king, a man at the table next to her, he was strong and strong, and he was 190 centimeters tall. His face was honest, but his eyes were shrewd. As soon as Shouxin had eaten a few bites of rice, he saw that he had gone to fill another bowl of rice.
Other people can eat it, but it's not worth mentioning compared to this big stomach.
Not only was Shouxin surprised by the amount of food she ate, but several senior brothers and sisters who went out of the island at the same time as her all looked frightened, especially Shoufu, staring at the big stomach king, and forgetting to eat by himself.
In just five minutes, he had already filled the sixth bowl of rice.
"Ahem, eat quickly!" Huang Zhenwei obviously noticed Shoufu's stunnedness, and the others were just surprised at the beginning and lowered their heads and continued to eat, only Shoufu did not reflect, and when he heard Huang Zhenwei's words, he also hurriedly lowered his head and continued to eat.
Don't look at the big stomach king to eat a lot, but the speed is also the fastest, and after eating, it is like Huang Zhenwei giving it up. didn't say much, and directly pulled the man who was sitting next to him to walk out.
The man was also tall, but also very thin. was pulled by the big stomach king, very dissatisfied: "Hey, I haven't eaten enough, you can't do this every time." I've lost weight like this, you can't have a little conscience! The voice was getting farther and farther away, and it had been pulled away.
Obviously, they were also traveling with Yi Xun, but it was the first time they appeared here, and they didn't know who the two big stomach kings were, and they didn't know why they left first. However, no one spoke, and they did not dare to ask. Then, one after another, people finished their food and left. Some led their horses away, and some stayed and waited.
Shouxin secretly guessed in his heart that the big stomach king and the thin man who left first were probably going to explore the way! They should have a division of labor to carry out the work, some people explore the way, some people press back, and some people are looking for protection by their side.
In fact, she guessed well, but she didn't understand the specific and detailed division of labor.
It didn't take long for everyone to run out of food, and only Huang Zhenwei, Yi Xun and Shouxin were left in the room.
Huang Zhenwei nodded to a few of them: "It's very good, don't ask if you know what you shouldn't ask." ”
If you have just left the island and encounter the scene of a meal just now, someone will be unable to hold your breath and ask. After so many days, everyone has begun to gradually become familiar with their role.
"Shoucai, you go to the front to find the shopkeeper and bring the account book." Yi Xun spoke, using his original voice, and then the others knew that this person with an ordinary face who had not spoken all this time was their master.
"Yes!" Surprise is surprise, but Shoucai quickly did so.
"Keep your promises, keep your business, keep your loyalty, keep your sincerity, you go to the courtyard and wait, someone will take you to continue your journey after noon." Yi Xun continued to command, obviously starting here, he would separate their nine secret guards.
"Yes!" No one had any objections, and the four people of trustworthiness, business, loyalty, and honesty played against each other and went out.
"Shou Quan, Shou Fu, go to the door to find Lu Kang, he will take you around the city for a while and then hurry."
"Yes!" Shouquan and Shoufu also hurried away.
"Be on the defensive, keep your heart and follow me!" In a few words, Yi Xun has already made arrangements for everyone, and of course, Huang Zhenwei is also by Yi Xun's side. As for the shadows, there will naturally be people, and not only all of them have appeared today. These people can only appear in front of people.
After all the orders were given, Shoucai also entered the door with the account book. Yi Xun said again: "This account book is collected!" ”
"Yes!" Shoucai was stunned at first, and then cautiously put the account book in his arms.
Shouxin thought of Shoucai's name, and he understood Yi Xun's intentions, and after Shoucai became an official secret guard in the future, he was afraid that he would help Yi Xun manage the accounts.
After that, Yi Xun stopped talking, and there were not many people left in the room. Huang Zhenwei filled Yi Xun with a cup of tea, Yi Xun took a shallow sip, and then stopped drinking, sitting there with empty eyes. I don't know what I'm thinking!
Shouxin looked at this kind of Yi Xun and felt a little strange.
It's completely different from Yi Xun on the island, and it's very different from Yi Xun who gets along with her alone. Let her have the urge to tear off the skin mask of others and see if the person in front of her is Yi Xun.
However, Shouxin is just thinking about it, how can he really do this?
She looked away at the courtyard with her eyes gone. The courtyard where there were still people just now was also quiet at this moment, and everyone was assigned out except for a few of them.
And the guard carefully found that some people walked through the front gate, some people walked behind, and some people leaned towards the courtyard wall, maybe they walked over the wall.
Huang Zhenwei stood up at this time, walked to the wall and opened a cabinet.
It is a very ordinary cabinet, but there is a mystery hidden in it, and in the dark grid, Huang Zhenwei took out a few maps. They were given a defensive position and a defensive heart, so that they could go and see when they both had nothing to do. As for Shoucai, Huang Zhenwei said that when he has nothing to do, he can look at the account book first.
And this map is not just one, it is composed of multiple maps. There are maps of the country, maps of other countries, maps of some important towns and, more importantly, maps of the palaces.
In these small, detailed maps, Shouxin found that some places were marked in red. As for why it was marked, Huang Zhenwei did not generalize, but signaled them with his eyes not to ask more now.
Shouxin and Shou Shi glanced at each other, and took the map into their arms, thinking that the importance of this thing was no less than that of Shoucai's account book.
After about two quarters of an hour, Huang Zhenwei asked Yi Xun: "Master, is it time to go?" ”
"Hmm!" Yi Xun answered, stood up and walked out. Huang Zhenwei motioned for a few of them to follow.
They came to the stables of the restaurant, and there were not many horses at this time, except for a few of them, there were only two left, and they thought that they might be guests of the restaurant.
They came to the stable, did not lead the horse away, but looked at the people around without any people, and removed the horse feed piled up in the corner, Huang Zhenwei came forward to grope for a while, I don't know what mechanism he encountered, and a wide secret passage was opened under the stable.
The secret passage can accommodate a horse to enter, so Huang Zhenwei led the horse to go in first.
Shouxin was greatly surprised, but he didn't say anything, and just followed everyone down the secret passage.
When everyone entered the secret passage, the door of the secret passage closed by itself, and Yi Xun, who was walking at the back, touched something on the wall, and soon there was the sound of footsteps, and then someone re-piled the feed on it.
No one asked, just walked through the dark secret passage.
People who know martial arts always have good night vision, although they can't see clearly, but everyone is moving forward steadily.
This feeling of walking in the secret passage is very bad, the air is humid, the oxygen is insufficient, and there is a faint smell of mold.
But no one would complain, they all walked silently.
Shouxin walked in the penultimate position, followed by Yi Xun. She clearly felt the sound of his breathing, and her mood unconsciously settled.
In fact, Yi Xun, as the master, should not be at the rear. But today, guarding the heart, defending the position, and guarding the wealth are the first time to enter this secret passage, Huang Zhenwei needs to take the lead, and Yi Xun must be behind. And he is an ordinary face at the moment, and there will be no danger if he wants to come to such a secret place.
Shou Xin was right, because except for these henchmen of Yi Xun, everyone didn't know that the Thirteen Princes were in the secret passage of a restaurant in Feicheng.
And in the palace, the thirteenth prince was seriously injured and lying on the bed, his face was pale and his breathing was weak, as if he was about to die in the next second
The palace of the Thirteen Princes was sparsely populated, and even in broad daylight, it was difficult to see a single figure, only two guards in charge of security stood at the door of the bedroom
