...... On cold nights, the shops on the street in the north of the town are still unclosed. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

However, there are only a few customers in the store at the moment.

Most of the rest of the people who are still in the shop are drinking.

"The battle of Wang Shi's size, he didn't stay here much after passing by!"

A young coachman put down his bowl and looked at his colleague.

"The town's notice, the big guys have seen it."

"It seems that if we can't recruit people this time, I'm afraid I'll use some other brains......"

The coachman sitting across from him looked down and thought for a moment.

"Even if there are a few fewer people in the vanguard battalion, although it is a loss, it will not affect the war in the Northland, right?"

"No, you're not right."

Hearing this, he shook his head disapprovingly at the coachman and said, "If it doesn't matter like what you said, why would Wang Shi leave a team of people in the town to bother with recruiting soldiers?" ”

In his mind, the impact of this incident should be greater than most people think.

Although they did not know how to march and fight, the pioneer battalion was the first to go out in wartime!

"You're not quite right," said a lone man at a table next to him, who heard their conversation.

As soon as he spoke, he attracted the rest of the other people in the shop.

It's none other than the shopkeeper in this store.

Counting three customers, plus a shopkeeper, there are only four people in the small shop along the street at the moment.

Outside, the street was deserted, and there was a shop opposite with lights on, but for a while there were no other guests who wanted to come in for a drink.

It's the middle of the night, and it's naturally very deserted, and these still awake drinkers don't seem so scruples when they talk!

"I have a friend who works in Yamen, and I heard that the conscription actually started secretly a few days ago!"

The newcomer to the small chat, still holding a small flask in his hand, looked at the others.

Including the shopkeeper of the noodle shop, he said with a little drunkenness: "He, he talked about it when I was drinking last night." ”

Hearing this, the others shook their heads in disbelief and said, "Hearsay!" ”

"Besides, you also talk when you're drinking, maybe he's drunk and talking nonsense."

If you drink too much, you may talk about any topic, and even if there is an inside story about conscription, it may not be easily spread.

The people in the store didn't believe it, it was purely because of the word drenched in alcohol.

The man said urgently: "No, no, we haven't had a few drinks at that time, let's talk about the topic first, and then talk about it so easily!" ”

"He said it clearly," the man paused, and continued in a somewhat mysterious tone, "It is said that Master Wang had already sent someone to the town first. ”

He then added: "It is true that someone in the pioneer camp is missing, but His Majesty is also quick to deal with it. ”

"I heard that it was decided immediately after discussing it with the National Teacher, and I decided to gather people at the next stop in advance."

Listening to the man's tone of voice was extremely serious, and the others couldn't help but show a look of suspicion.

"I'm telling you, it's absolutely true."

The man glanced down the street, lowered his voice and said, "It's so late now, and no one is coming in outside, so I dare to tell you, but even if you hear it, don't spread the news outside." ”

"By the way, then again, maybe I'll send a group of people to the Northland as soon as it's dawn."

After thinking about it, the man put the wine jug in his hand on the table and said, "When the time comes, the news will not be hidden, and it will naturally spread." ”

"Hey, you heard him say it clearly, is it true?"

...... In the lobby of the town inn, the guard bowed his head and drank, thinking about the messy news he had heard earlier.

No matter how he thinks about it, he thinks that the arrest of deserters is a bit strange.

Of course, what is even more strange is that there are guests chatting and drinking, and they are actually very well-informed, saying that the empress has dealt with it a few days ago, and began to recruit people in advance in the town.

The notice posted in the town is said to be an afterthought, and the people in the town are talking about it as if water is boiling in a pot.

Thinking about it, the guards felt that the situation had evolved a little delicately.

How do you explain that...... It turns out that those who know the news may not be timely information, and there are insider ...... And what happened before can hide the people who passed on several online contacts......

If it's true, then the news is too successful in concealing it!

The manpower to protect the Heart Dao Sea Country is actually distributed among the king's divisions, plus the news that the post stations along the way are trying to pass on, and there are also people who stay in the north.

With so many lines combined, I didn't even hear the message that the empress had arranged the next stop in advance, which was a bit unbelievable.

Is there a problem with the intelligence network or is it because the people here in the sea country are not helpful?

The guard's face sank, thinking about whether he should go to the small building in the backyard to talk to Tianfang in detail at this time, he hesitated in his heart.

But it was indeed too late now, and before coming out, Tianfang had clearly rejected the proposal to go to the town overnight to find out.

The master of his own family had made up his mind, and planned to wait until it was close to dawn before the soldiers divided into several ways before starting.

The guard was conflicted, unable to make a quick decision for a while, so he took a few more sips from his glass.

...... "Why are you here?" ”

The guard looked at the two companions who had come in through the door, and with a sweep of their eyes, they had walked up to him.

The two of them sat down, looked at the guard and smiled, "You forgot what you said earlier, in the small building, didn't you propose it to us?" ”

"You drink, we drink tea!"

"I was joking."

The eyes of the two companions swept over the dishes on the table.

The drinks at night are still a few dishes that are good at the inn, in fact, they are similar to what they see in the restaurant during the day, although they are not made by a chef, but the taste in this area of the town is close.

A few dishes, each plate did not move much, and the last dish that came up was barely touched.

"You still need so much alone?"

The two injured companions said with a bit of dissatisfaction in their tones: "Isn't it too wasteful? ”

The guard glanced at them and didn't answer.

Doubts flashed in his heart, his gaze moved from the two of them one after another, and then said, "Why don't you stay in the small building with that guy?" ”

He said that he naturally followed Tianfang with him from Suzhou to his current companion.

"Oh, after you left, that guy was called by the Lord again."

"In the beginning, we followed the past, for fear that the Lord would tell us to do it."

"As a result, when the Lord saw it, he said that there was nothing wrong with the two of us, let us go and rest first, and then talk about it when we get up tomorrow morning."

"I don't think we need to keep guarding!"

The guard was surprised: "Since that's the case, why don't you two rest, there is something to do here?" ”

One of the companions looked at the guard and explained: "We discussed it, for fear that you would be drunk and fall directly in the lobby by yourself, and you came here to take a look." ”

"I can't believe you're so sober."

"Nonsense, I'm alone, I must be measured, I won't drink too much, I can't get drunk at this point."

The companion paused and asked, "Did you see the gang we were staring at?" ”

Speaking of which, the guards of the Yuwen family are looking for people and others just like them, and their every move naturally makes people pay special attention.

The guard immediately answered: "That is to say, this matter is really strange, none of them have come out, could it be that they have already found someone?" ”

"No, I've been there, and their people certainly haven't left, and no new people have moved in," his companion said, glancing towards the door, "If they had come in, the people here would have known about it." ”

The companion's tone was very affirmative.

The guard thought for a moment, and for the time being, he didn't mention the scene he had just seen, but just asked the two companions, "Why do I think that our lord means that he doesn't want to make a movement in the town to attract attention?" ”

"You feel right, we both see the same thing as you."

The guard frowned, and said with a somewhat distressed look: "In this case, how can you find it?" I'm afraid it's hard! ”

"Maybe the Lord is planning for the people from the North to answer the search, and he sent a letter earlier."

The companion said in a sincere tone: "Actually, you want me to tell the truth...... I think the easiest place to find the little junior sister should be close to the position of the king master, isn't she sure she wants to go? ”

"What you said is not unreasonable," the guard paused, adding, "It's just that I don't understand, when did the Lord start to care less about the results?" ”

He swept his gaze around, lowered his voice and looked at the two companions and said, "From Suzhou to the town, I thought that this trip would be sure to find the little junior sister no matter what." ”

"I never thought ......"

The companion looked at him thoughtfully and said, "The lord thinks that there are too many and too many people in the town at the moment, and he is worried that if there is a big movement, if he can't find someone to talk about, it may bring unnecessary trouble." ”

"Let's go all the way from Suzhou to the mountains, you two are still from the north, where are you idle this trip?"

The guard completely disagreed with this statement, and he said in a somewhat complaining tone: "Trouble, it is a trouble to find someone in itself!" The place is still so big, the key is unpredictable. ”

His companion glared at him and said, "Can't you say this in front of the Lord, isn't this a deliberate attack?" ”

"Yes, let's just talk about it in private, the Lord doesn't dare to mention a word," the guard's tone was quite helpless, "Just look at the Lord's nervous appearance." ”

...... After a brief silence, the guards finally decided to bring their previous situation to the light of their two companions.

"By the way, someone was drinking in the lobby just now, and there were several tables of people coming in succession, and they were all talking about things in town."

The guard's expression looked a little uncomfortable, and he paused for a moment before saying, "You've heard that it must have been a hot spot in town in the past few days. ”

"Let's go about the conscription of the king!"

A companion sitting opposite the guard said in a nonchalant tone, "We care about everything else, but this matter always feels that it has nothing to do with us Haiguo." ”

"That's true, but the two tables just now, the things mentioned are a bit weird."

"What's the weird law?"

After the guard looked down and pondered, he looked at the two companions and asked, "Before I say that, I have to ask you two first...... I know that along the way, the guy who stayed in Xiaolou knew more news than the rest of us. ”

The guard hesitated for a moment and asked, "But do you two have any news to hide from me?" ”

Several of them were released by the sky to do tasks, and the problem was that two of them met halfway.

Because they weren't released from Suzhou with the guards.

Whether they were in the valley or to the town, or to the stopover...... Everywhere you go, there are almost always moments when you scatter to do tasks.

Because of this, the thought flashed in the guard's heart, did he have already omitted news along the way, or simply he had not heard the news that the people of the Sea Kingdom had passed to the Lord?

He felt the need to ask questions before he could decide whether or not to tell them what had just happened.

If you can't figure it out, people already know the empress's arrangement, and only you are the one who is kept in the dark!

The two companions glanced at each other, looked at the guard in surprise, and said, "What news?" ”

"Wang Shi has news related to the empress."

The companion shook his head and denied: "No, we know, you know." ”

"Didn't everyone read the letter together? What else can be hidden? ”

The guard asked tentatively, "Are you two so sure?" ”

"Yes, there's absolutely nothing important that we are hiding from you, unless we don't know it."

"Well, let me tell you two about the people who came to drink just now, and they mentioned that there were deserters in the town."

The guard lowered his voice again: "This thing sounds strange, since he is a deserter from the pioneer battalion, how can he escape here?" ”

"One more thing...... I heard that the empress had sent someone to the town before. ”

...... As far as I can remember, it's been a long time since I've had anything like this.

But when I opened my eyes to the darkness in front of me, that familiar feeling came back again.

The back of my neck hurt every time I moved, and when I woke up, I had a cloth in my mouth and my face covered.

Anyway, it was pitch black before my eyes.

I tried to move my body, and suddenly I realized that I was ...... It seems that all the robbers are in one pattern.

Because my hands and feet were still firmly bound by ropes, and my body kept jolting.

Obviously, right now I'm in a moving carriage!

Depending on how bumpy the carriage was, it was not surprising that the carriage was walking on a mountain road.

The problem is, the last thing I remember before I woke up was that I was guarding the fire in the kitchen in the backyard of the town inn!

At that time, I had prepared the herbs and waited for the innkeeper to bring me water.

The impression that I have in my mind is that I asked the unfinished sentence.

I want to ask him how long he has been going...... Is the water frozen?! (To be continued.) )
