Chapter 49: He Did It On Purpose
Drag out the half-used cloth wrapped under the bed and hold it in your hand.
In the shadow of the lamp, I closed the door and opened it slowly by the table by the window.
From Dongyuan to Hengcheng to Yuzhou, the formula that has been changed several times is finally slowly approaching Yun Chu's handiwork.
Although the gap between them still exists, this proximity makes this newly made medicine enough to naturally change a person's skin color.
I decided to try one last time tonight, and I had been planning to leave alone on the way before.
This qiē plan has been around for a long time, but the plan can't catch up with the changes, and the change in Ji Jiu's attitude made me foresee the possibility of entering the Sealand Palace.
This meant that I had to abandon my previous plan and instead arrive in the capital of Sealand with the members of the current temporary team.
I hope he keeps his word, and I have to try to believe him once.
The water melted in the cup, and the water quickly changed color when the powder was put in.
Without any hesitation, I began to move on my face, and after a few moments, the face I saw in the mirror was very different from the original.
The rest was to dress, and I took out a set of gray men's clothes from the baggage I had carried, which contrasted sharply with the light-colored robes I was wearing.
After I was ready, I looked at myself in the mirror with satisfaction, at this moment, the night was thick outside the window, and I was planning to go out for a walk, and I just arrived at the door and suddenly remembered the situation when I had eaten before.
Originally, a table of people was sitting around laughing Yan Yan, but suddenly the shopkeeper of the inn who behaved a little strangely came to talk to Sister Li.
The conversation between the two of them under the eaves reached my ears with a rare word, and there was one thing in which I could confirm that I had heard correctly.
The innkeeper specially told him not to move around at will, after nightfall. Now that I think about it, I suddenly smell something unusual.
The ban issued by the non-official government, the caution in her mouth is limited to the small area of the inn in front of her.
Today's accommodation was full of guests, and when I meditated a few times, I suddenly raised my head and looked out the window.
I've taken a rough look at the topographic map of this inn.
One of the largest and best inns in Yuzhou City. It is not similar to those inns I have seen before, but divided into a small courtyard, composed of several small buildings, plus flower beds and woods separated from each other, paths and pools, this is the origin of the first day I arrived it gave me the feeling of the courtyard of the noble private house.
Suddenly, I was intrigued. Who lives in the small buildings in the other courtyards tonight?
I straightened up in front of the mirror and went downstairs with a light and swift movement.
In the inn at night, as the shopkeeper told in advance, almost no one walked around at will. So they stayed in their own place, and went about their own lives.
Strange, this strangeness began to amplify in my mind.
Passing through the flower beds, through the verandah, and as I approached the courtyard that was the shortest distance away, I was struck at how different the atmosphere was in another building that was so far away.
I actually heard the sound of silk and bamboo in the distance in the forest.
Curiosity grew, and I walked through the woods in the thick of night. Until a rockery appeared in front of me.
After a brief judgment, I quickly slipped into a hollow.
The mountains are rocky, and in a blink of an eye, you have climbed to the top of the mountain. I glanced at it and saw a big tree growing along the courtyard wall of the small courtyard, and the branches and leaves at one end extended straight to the outside of the courtyard, and the distance from the rockery was less than a zhang away.
The moment I landed on the tree, I regretted it. The lessons of many days of desertion finally hit me head-on at this moment, and it could have been lighter. The movement is smaller.
It can be regarded as God's help, and there are a few cats squatting in the corner of the small courtyard. As soon as I fell, I threw a stone into the corner, which I had just picked up from the ground before entering the rockery.
Accompanied by the cat's meow, it cancels out the movement just now, and even those who hear it will mistakenly think that the cat in the yard has knocked over the flower pot or something.
On the leafy tree, I quietly leaned down, found the most hidden and comfortable position for myself, and made it clear that I planned to check the movement in the small courtyard.
The lights were on, and the whole courtyard was several times the size of the one we lived in, which was the same as I guessed, and sure enough, there were Kabuki from the music shop who accompanied the guests to have fun.
Can afford to live in the best inn in Yuzhou, but also invite such a group of people to accompany, although the identity of the guests in this small building is undecided, one thing is certain that the other party's purse is not bad money.
I scrutinized the men's mannerisms to deduce their identities from their laughter.
Businessman? I shook my head, absolutely impossible, this kind of scene of singing and dancing will not appear in the pre-war situation of the uncertain and stormy business travelers, because the net worth and life are still hanging there, how can the optimistic prospects be enjoyed?
Officials from the capital of Sealand? What's more, Yuzhou City is not very big, even if it is a circled inn, such a large number of Kabuki people in the city are invited to have fun, and the news is guaranteed not to be transmitted?
Once you get to the Empress of Sealand, it's certain that you won't be able to eat and walk around.
The biggest possibility, the biggest possibility, was that my hand couldn't help but clench into a fist, and it was at this point, but in a few seconds, my face changed, because I saw a person in the crowd sitting around.
I used to wait for this person to wait in the teahouse, and even used Ji Jiu to confirm it, and now this person has appeared in the inn and is one of them.
I couldn't help but think about it.
Identifying the first person I could recognize, my eyes began to wander around me.
Among the people in this team, there are men and women, and from their bodies and eyes, they can vaguely see a feeling that is different from ordinary people, if I am not wrong before, they are from the north of Zealand, the princess's subordinates.
The situation in the north is urgent, and the people who need to preside over the overall situation must have rushed back day and night, although a new situation has emerged after Ji Jiu met her, it is impossible for her to come to investigate in person, and it is more reasonable to send a few elites.
As soon as she left, she left behind such a team
The person at the head took a sip of the wine glass on the table, but his eyes were focused on a woman sitting beside him: "Xiao Jiu, the people who entered the Yuzhou horse team this time plus the ones I sent in yesterday are a total of six. ”
My hand holding the trunk shook slightly. "Do they know all the things that the princess explained?"
The woman known as Xiao Jiu responded indifferently.
The sudden silence made the atmosphere a little oppressive.
The previous man smiled in a flattering tone: "It's all clear, don't dare not be unclear." “
Although he used a nickname to call the woman younger than him, it fell on my ears, and no matter how I heard it, I felt that his status in this team was not higher than that of "Xiao Jiu".
It seems that the woman is the backbone of this team.
My interest in exploring has completely shifted direction, I have never been very interested in minions, the closer I get to the core of the team, the closer to the big force behind it, it is worth the effort and curiosity.
Seeing that she was only in her early twenties, her face was delicate, and she was sitting on her side to me when she looked in my direction, and even if she couldn't see her appearance clearly, I could faintly perceive her whole person's iceberg-like temperament.
There are men and women in the kabuki in front of him, and when you hear it, you know that it is the best you can pick in this small place in Yuzhou.
I looked down for a moment and made a bold decision.
I'm going to move to a better place to see.
To avoid the small mistake I had made earlier, I was extra careful and moved my body almost silently, moving a short distance on the trunk of the tree.
However, at this time, at this time, I glanced at it by chance, and I was so frightened that cold sweat broke out on my back!
This small courtyard is surrounded by walls and large trees on all sides, and my current location is a tree diagonally opposite the main entrance of the small courtyard.
Just about five or six feet away from me, in the same tree, there was an eavesdropper like me, lying there, in the same posture as me, and it didn't matter.
The most important thing is that the moment I moved my body, he also noticed me.
In the middle distance, through the gap between the leaves swaying in the wind and in the shadow of the moon, I saw a pair of interested eyes fixed on me for a moment.
Steadied myself, and I glanced at him.
At the same time, my mind was racing about the identity of the snooper just like me.
Of course, he is not a person from the dart game, and he will not be a member of the small courtyard below!
I remembered what the innkeeper said about full occupancy, where did this man come from?
Like me, he was interested in the whereabouts or identities of the group below, so he chose to observe in the same way.
In the dark of night, I continued to look at him with a blank face, seeing that he was not interested in moving, after a while, I didn't want to take this risk, now this is not my own covetous, I am afraid of accidents, I decided to change my plan of action.
I descended from the tree as carefully and safely as I could, and landed in the forest outside the courtyard wall, and then I was going to withdraw as best I could, in the direction from which I came
At this moment, the man who was also on the tree actually stepped on a branch and made a crisp sound.
It's like a stone being thrown into the calm water!
The people in the entire small courtyard moved, and the first one was the one named Xiao Jiu.
She shouted, "What kind of person is sneaking outside?!" “
I turned my head and saw that the perpetrator of the accident was coming in my direction, and the person who was following him was biting down behind him.
Cursing in a low voice, I had no choice but to run along the forest, and now I am implicated by this person, it is really eight lifetimes of mold!!
I'm completely sure that he just did it on purpose, how could he be careless enough to step on a branch if he could hide in a tree for so long without me noticing?!
He did it on purpose! Damn it! (To be continued)
