In the tea shed, the guard who heard the eldest lady mention suddenly showed a curious look and said, "Tell us to hear it!" ”

The eldest lady nodded thoughtfully. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The next moment, she looked at her old wife on the other side but hesitated.

Seeing that the latter didn't say anything to stop it, it seemed to be a tacit acquiescence, and it was probably because what the guards said before had some effect.

The eldest lady lowered her head and thought for a while before saying, "...... them It looks like a guard under a big family. ”

"It looks like a person who knows kung fu!"

Hearing this, several people on the side couldn't help but smile.

Are they all guards like yourself?

The guards couldn't help but move their eyes to Tianfang's body.

However, the guards found out right away.

At this moment, Tianfang didn't move his gaze to this side at all, and his attention was obviously focused on the official road outside.

The owner of his own house didn't seem to hear the conversation between the people below and the lady of the tea shed.

The guards were a little surprised, but the Lord had always been known for his deep thoughts.

With their rank, it is indeed difficult for the guards to guess, and it is difficult to know what is going on in the hearts of their masters!

Just as the guards saw, Tianfang's focus was indeed focused on the official road.

As far as his eyes could see, he paid attention to the pedestrians passing by on the official road, and he didn't see anyone passing by for the time being, and he also felt a little surprised in his heart.

Despite this, he heard the conversation between the guards and the old couple in the tea shed.

It's just that Tianfang doesn't want to participate in it for the time being, so let's listen to it.

...... Noticing Tianfang's actions, the guards withdrew their gaze, and several pairs of eyes looked at the old lady in the tea shed again, waiting for the following.

The guard's eyes flickered, and after deliberation, he looked at the eldest lady and said in a sincere tone: "Auntie, you have been here for many years, and you must have seen strange guests." ”

The official road is the main road connecting the north and south of Zealand, and countless customers pass through this road throughout the year.

The tea shed of the eldest lady's house is close to the official road, and it can almost be said that all the guests who pass by the official road will pass by her tea shed.

Whether you stop or not is another matter, but it's absolutely true to see guests pass by.

The implication of the guard who opened his mouth was that there were more of all kinds of guests passing by on the official road that the eldest lady saw in the tea shed on weekdays!

There are only two old husbands and wives in the tea shed, and the place where they live is connected to the tea shed, and they are usually here all the time.

Even if she meets a stranger guest, according to the understanding of the guards, it stands to reason that she doesn't need to be too surprised.

The lady's reaction seems to have been a little overdone, hasn't it?

"Well, you're right, but it's a little different these days."

The eldest lady looked at the guards and nodded, paused and said, "In the past few days, the villagers in the nearby villages have rarely passed by, and we do feel a little strange when we see those two groups of people at once." ”

"It's the end of the year, and there are a lot of chores at home!"

The guard reached out and grabbed a piece of cake, brought it to his mouth and took two bites, he responded while chewing: "It's almost the New Year, everyone has a lot of chores, so don't go out and walk around!" ”

The eldest lady shook her head and said: "It's different, this time of the year happened to be the busiest time, and the guests came and went every day. ”

After thinking about it, the eldest lady said: "The villagers want to take their own things to the town to sell, and when they pass by, they will stop here to have a cup of tea and eat something before leaving." ”

Very few villagers pass through here without a stop, unless there is a real emergency.

In contrast, some of the merchants who come and go are still in a hurry and do not stop.

For example, when they were released on a hitchhiker the day before, weren't the people of the caravan in a hurry to go to the town to deliver the goods?

The caravan passed by the tea shed without stopping for a moment, and went straight in the direction of the town, hurrying non-stop.

The implication of the eldest lady's words is that the situation in the past few days is definitely a bit abnormal in her opinion.

The eldest lady spoke so clearly, how could the guards not ask.

At that moment, one of the guards immediately lowered his voice and asked, "Listening to what you said, the situation is indeed a bit strange, do you know what the reason is?" ”

The eldest lady looked at him, paused for a few seconds, and then continued: "I didn't think about what the truth was, but this morning, in addition to the two groups of guests, there are also villagers from nearby villages who have come to the town to grab medicine." ”

It sounds like the other party has a reason to go out, so he passed by the official road.

It seems that these days, ordinary villagers rarely pass.

The guards looked at each other, looked at the eldest lady again and asked, "Did the villagers mention it, I mean the people who went to the town to get medicine?" ”

The eldest lady nodded and said, "Tell us the reason." ”

During the pause in the conversation, Tianfang's attention was drawn to their conversation for the first time.

His gaze turned in the direction of the guards, thoughtful.

"They came a little late, and they only told us about the people I mentioned here."

The eldest lady lowered her voice and said, "I heard that people in the nearby villages have not dared to come out these days. ”

The guards looked at the old couple in the tea shed with confusion in their eyes.

"The villagers said that someone from Nanhua Town came from Nanhua Town a few days ago," the eldest lady added some tea for the guards, stood aside and said, "I heard that when Wang Shi was marching, something happened to Nanhua Town. ”

In an instant, all the eyes in the tea shed were focused on the eldest mother, including Tianfang, who was also slightly stunned!

It stands to reason that the news shouldn't have spread so quickly!

The eldest lady then whispered: "I heard the villagers mention Master Wang...... I heard that the manpower was called up in Nanhua Town, and it was planned to be arranged in the pioneer camp. ”

"We all know that the pioneer battalion is the one who rushes to the forefront and the most dangerous position when fighting."

The eldest lady said with emotion: "If you don't care, your life may be gone." ”

The guards nodded in agreement.

"What's wrong with Pioneer Camp? Ma'am. ”

The guard looked at her and asked.

Although I know seventy or eighty percent in my heart, and I also know the focus of the eldest lady's next topic, since the guards are just ordinary strangers passing by, they naturally have to show concern and curiosity.

The eldest lady paused, and then said: "It's too dangerous to go to the front line, so it's quite difficult to find people from this pioneer battalion. ”

The eldest lady glanced at the official road outside, and no one passed by for the time being, so she continued: "I heard from the villagers that it was hard to find all of them, but something went wrong halfway, and someone from the pioneer camp was missing!" ”

Tianfang showed a look of surprise, but this time it was not pretended.

The news was still confirmed, and the speed of the rumors was a little unimaginable.

You must know that the empress tried her best to suppress the news, and she even held back on the way, and heard that it was only handled in a small area.

How could even the tea shacks passing by on the road, and even ordinary people know the inside story?

Tianfang couldn't help but think...... Could it be that the internal of Wang Shi has such a big loophole, and the news is directly transmitted to the outside?

This is really not good news for the empress!

There are loopholes in the internal control of the representative tube, once ...... The situation seems to be worse than imagined.

At first, I knew that there were people in the army who traded with foreign races, which was shocking enough, but I didn't expect that if I didn't dig much in the follow-up, the inside story of the news would be revealed one after another!

The eldest lady looked at the surprised and puzzled looks of several people in front of her, and quickly explained: "You must be curious about how the villagers would know, don't you?" ”

The guards nodded, and listened to the eldest lady whisper: "There are people in the village who are doing business in Nanhua Town, and they just came back in time for the New Year." ”

"That person is in Nanhua Town, and he has some connections," the eldest lady paused and continued in a low voice, "I heard that he knows the officials who work in the Yamen in Nanhua Town." ”

"When the two of them were idle and had nothing to do with each other to drink together, they were about too drunk and inadvertently told the inside story."

In an instant, the sky was released.

The eldest lady whispered: "After the villagers found out, when they came this morning, they heard me mention that group of people, and they talked about it. ”

"Auntie, according to what you said, someone in Master Wang is indeed missing, but the villagers can't come out, what does it have to do with Master Wang?"

The guard frowned, glanced at the eldest lady, and said.

Is there any necessary connection between the two? It's the same question that others will have.

After hesitating for a moment, the eldest lady continued: "Oh, the people in the village are worried, in case the Wang Division wants to gather more people nearby to expand the soldiers and horses of the pioneer battalion, I am afraid of this!" ”

"Auntie, but we heard that the people on the road also mentioned it," the guard thought about it here, and then added, "I heard them say, didn't the king master already pass the town and go directly to the northland, how could he expand his forces in this area?" ”

Tianfang picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea, but the cakes in the coarse porcelain plate on the table had not been touched.

"We heard about it, and we listened to what the villagers said!"

"There are so many people in the royal division, maybe Your Majesty will leave one or two teams of people nearby," the eldest lady answered in a smooth tone, "Hear me talk about the group of people who passed by the tea shed, and they said so." ”

The guards looked at each other, and after listening to each other, there were all causes and consequences, which seemed quite reasonable.

On the side, Tianfang lowered his eyelids in thought, and pressed his fingers on the edge of the tea bowl.

At this speed of transmission, it completely goes against the original intention of the empress.

Wang Shi went all the way north, I am afraid that the news has already been transmitted through various channels, which is the disadvantage of Wang Shi.

With a huge army and a large number of people, it is not easy to mobilize, and it is even more difficult to keep information secret.

Tianfang's trip, although the main purpose is to come for his own junior sister, now there is no exact news on the little junior sister's side for the time being, and someone is interfering openly and secretly, it is really ...... But being able to indirectly know some of the process of the war in the north can be regarded as another harvest of this trip.

The conversation between the eldest lady and the guards came to an end.

The guards exchanged glances with each other, and there was some kind of tacit understanding.

The news they wanted to know was almost heard in this place.

The old man on the side took the freshly steamed flower rolls from the stove again.

In the past, for these guards of the Sea Kingdom, it was really not a delicious snack, not to mention that the tea was also a little poor.

However, this is not the case.

A group of people sat there, drinking coarse tea and eating snacks, and when they set off on the road again, they felt that the oncoming mountain breeze was not so cold.

......, "Uncle, did you meet any strange people in this area a few years ago?" ”

There was the sound of running water in my ears, and the topic that the tsundere boy had just said about the empress and the princess was still echoing in my head, but at this time I remembered another thing.

Uncle was already ahead of me at this moment, reverting to the three-person formation we had rushed to at the beginning.

I was in the middle of the line, and the tsundere boy followed at the back as usual.

Uncle Decrepit's footsteps paused for a moment.

I followed him, and naturally I would watch him move any way.

I think trust should be built up little by little.

shared the news they knew, and also heard the tsundere boy say some exact news about the empress and the princess.

By now, the relationship between the three of us should be a little stronger than when we first met.

At least when I encountered difficulties and crises, I never expressed the idea of throwing Uncle Decrepit behind.

If so, he still doesn't want to say it...... From his own point of view, I'm afraid he will feel a little embarrassed.

After all, when I mentioned to him the news I knew about Sealand, it sounded almost unreserved.

The only thing I conceal is that I once spent time in the palace of the Empress of Sealand, and if I don't say this, no one will think of it.

Because the eight poles can't beat the people!

In other words, even if I say it, how many strangers can believe it?! I'm afraid not!

"When I came back, I met someone else by mistake, a different race...... I don't say you know, but there's another person who I haven't seen since. ”

"There was more than one danger along the way, and a lot of aliens died, but that person kept walking, only then the team broke up, and I don't know his final result."

I looked at the tsundere boy, and then I gestured to the boy and motioned for him not to interject.

I think it's easier for me to talk to Uncle Decrepit to get him to unload his heart.

On the contrary, in my opinion...... The temper of the eldest young master may cause people to get stuck in their throats when they originally wanted to say it, and they are reluctant to continue to say it!

I know that for Uncle Decline, this past experience has left a lot of shadows.

If he hadn't found it profitable, and felt that he had reached a very embarrassing situation in the town, or that he wouldn't have been willing to make the trip.

Asking him to get out of the way and leave all the dangers behind is of course related to his own circumstances.

If he didn't go to the end of the mountain, how could he be willing to take this risk?!

I know this very well in my heart, but at the same time I know another thing.

Up to now, Uncle Decay must know very well in his heart that with his strength alone, it is estimated that he is very suspenseful.

Even if he had been selective in revealing more details about the time to us, I think it would have been helpful for us. (To be continued.) )
