Chapter 207: It's Luck
It must be difficult to avoid the town's guards. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Right now, I can imagine the difficulty just by thinking about it.
The tsundere boy was afraid that others would stare at him and recognize him.
I'm certainly no exception.
"It's okay, I'll go to the alley with him when the person arrives, and you can wait for me with peace of mind when the time comes."
The boy glanced at me and answered in a calm tone.
I stared at him and thought for a while, "Young Master, haven't people come yet?" Are you that sure? ”
"I don't think I'll be able to find it successfully, and I'll talk about it when the wait comes."
I didn't think very much of the little kid who took the task.
In my concept, the task given to him by the boy seems to be a little too exaggerated.
But the tsundere boy said his own reasons in his words.
A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he slowed down his tone and said, "Xiaoling, the children who live in the town near the center are used to walking on this street usually. ”
The boy paused and continued, "They are all familiar with the nearby shops. ”
"I'm afraid it's a regular in and out."
The boy looked at me and said affirmatively, "Few people would be wary of such a child. ”
His tone changed, he looked thoughtfully at the street scene outside, and paused before continuing: "On the contrary, if you find an adult to do this, as soon as you enter the restaurant, the people inside will come forward to greet you." ”
"Where is it so easy!"
The boy said a few words to me one after another, and it seemed to make some sense.
But I think the most important thing is to see the follow-up effect, he said that what is not counted.
Can you get the message to you smoothly? Let the guards of the Yuwen family joint change on the spot?
...... The two guards in the private room of the restaurant looked at each other.
The kid who came in barely moved, and slipped in completely under the noses of adults.
The kid came in and stared at them first, and the two of them were about to ask...... Unexpectedly, the child's eyes flickered, and his eyes were firmly attracted to something in them.
He was not very old, but his expression was very calm, and there was no look of strangeness or fear.
It's also a very strange child!
...... I don't know for what reason, even the two guards of the Yuwen family who were guarding the private room didn't quite understand it.
In short, the moment they saw this child come in, they didn't ask or scold him.
At this moment, the two guards looked at each other, and when they could see the words on the paper handed by the child, their faces immediately changed.
...... There was still half of the snack left in the bowl, and I didn't have the mood or appetite to continue eating.
Although it was someone from the Yuwen family who planned to meet, something happened halfway.
The tsundere boy said that he had doubts and took the initiative to change his plan.
I was deeply impressed by his fickleness after arriving in the town, especially at the critical moment of meeting the joint, which was a bit of a dissonance.
In addition to the above, he is now temporarily pinning his hopes on a small town child.
It's a little strange to me when I think about it.
After listening to my question, the young man looked at me disappreciatively and said, "Xiaoling, sometimes it's different from what you think, you don't know it, so you can't think of it." ”
"...... you mean?"
A look of confusion flashed in my eyes and I asked him curiously.
After the tsundere boy groaned, he looked at me with a somewhat casual tone and said lightly: "Often people who have done things may not be how powerful they are." ”
"What's the reason for that?" I looked at him puzzled and said, "Is it just luck?" ”
The young man calmly answered: "That's right! Just like you think, it's just luck. ”
He mentioned this to me more than once.
I lowered my head and cleaned up the used paper and pen on the table, then looked at the young man and said, "Yes, your luck is always good, young master." ”
I thought for a moment, and then said, "As long as your men receive the message and find this place, it will be considered a success. ”
"No, he won't come first."
The boy looked at me calmly.
"Then why did you let that kid deliver the letter?"
"Xiaoling, what I'm saying is that the kid will come back first."
The young man pondered for a moment, and then a faint smile crossed his lips: "If they are clever enough, they will come up with a proper idea for themselves." ”
...... After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, a small figure walked through the crowd to the door of the shop, smiled at the table we were sitting on, and then hurried over.
I looked at the kid and couldn't help but look surprised, in line with the tsundere's statement.
On the other hand, the young man rarely showed a soft expression.
He took some change from his body and gave it to the child.
The latter thanked him and left happily.
"Message?"
As the kid walked out of the snack bar and into a nearby snack shop, I looked at the boy and asked.
"Xiaoling, I'm not sure yet, but ...... Probably it's done! ”
The boy bowed his head and did not continue to speak, looking like he was waiting.
...... In the private room of the restaurant in the center of the town, the two guards of the Yuwen family looked at each other solemnly at this moment.
Their fingers slid lightly over the edge of the table, in the midst of a "conversation".
To be exact, they are very excited at the moment.
The reason for the excitement is, of course, because the little master of his house finally appeared, and asked someone to bring a message.
When the child suddenly appeared, they maintained their composure through the habits they had developed over the years, until they got the paper.
But on the other hand, they couldn't feel at ease, and they didn't expect that there would be suspicious stalkers in the town, and they would be near the restaurant.
To say that the first person to find out was actually the little master they hadn't met yet, not themselves sitting in the restaurant waiting, it was really a completely unexpected situation.
...... What they didn't expect was that across the wall, the guards of the Sea Kingdom also showed a look of surprise.
From now on, there was a brief silence between the two people next door, and it seemed that something was wrong with their intuition.
But when he heard the conversation next door again, it seemed that he was commenting on the restaurant's dishes, and he thought that it might be a brief cold scene in the middle of the conversation between these two people!
There doesn't seem to be anything particularly strange, isn't there a short pause after a long conversation?
Maybe it's the end of a topic, maybe it's because both parties to the conversation are tired and have a tea break.
As one of the members of Tianfang's subordinates who pay attention to this gang.
The guards of the Sea Kingdom already knew that there were differences in kinship among them, just like their own companions.
He listened intently for a while, and felt that everything was normal, so the doubts in his mind were cleared.
He continued to stare out the window at the flow of people on the street.
The guards wanted to see when the little master who was waiting next door would appear, and if there was another person by his side?
...... Today's business in the restaurant is very good, and the guy who serves the food is also very busy.
There were footsteps outside, and there was also the sound of walking through the hallway outside the private room.
Suddenly, the sea country's guards heard the sound of the door opening next door, and then the young man chatted with one of them.
One of the two guys next door seemed a little bored, because this time he was talking to the young man, and he had started a conversation about a dish he wanted to order.
For a moment, the young man in the private room spoke to him louder than the two guards talked together.
By the time the young man had withdrawn, the footsteps had been heard outside, and it had been a long time.
...... "The people of the Yuwen family like to make it like playing dumb riddles, I don't understand your signals." ”
I muttered under my breath.
When I looked at the tsundere boy again, I couldn't tell what was going on in his heart for a while.
I glanced at him and didn't speak.
The young man's eyes met me, and then he lowered his voice and said calmly: "Xiaoling, you don't need to worry about this, not to mention that you are not the guard of the Yuwen family." ”
I tilted my head and thought for a moment, and explained to him, "Curiosity, just curiosity, young master." ”
The young man looked at the street, turned his head to me and said, "Do you want to know so much?" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes suddenly froze.
Then he quickly got up and said to me: "Xiaoling, wait with peace of mind, I'll go see you and I'll be back soon." ”
I looked at him silently, then nodded at him.
The tsundere boy who had received the confirmation message had just left, and as he left, he still glanced at where I was sitting.
Did he see someone from the Yuwen family? So the kid just now did manage to get the message to him and avoid potential spies in the restaurant?
It's incredible, and after thinking about it, I really want to chase it and follow the direction that the tsundere boy left.
Unexpectedly, as soon as my body moved, I immediately received a few beams of gaze, a sharp light.
Yes!
The tsundere boy ordered snacks again, asked the young man to buy paper and pens on his behalf, and took care of others to settle the bill later.
Right now, he himself was running out happily like a wild horse on the loose, and he had gone out to meet the people of the Yuwen family.
I'll stay here and I won't even give me any money!!
If I moved, wouldn't the people in the store misunderstand that I was eating white food?!
Hey, the eldest young master said that he would be back soon, it's not a lie!
Money is going to be spent on the knife, and I don't want to waste it here.
I'm not him, the eldest young master is not bad for money.
Now that I'm in the town, the key is that I still have to prepare to go to the Northlands, which is short of silver!
Anyway, I walked the busiest street along the way, and there were no suitable places for me along the way.
It occurred to me that alley I had seen when I walked through the streets...... Or when I'm left alone, when the time is right, I'll have to check it out again.
At this time, I still wait patiently, waiting for the tsundere boy to come back.
I remember very well that on the way here, he didn't say that the guards of the Yuwen family, who arrived in the town first, had already arranged a place to stay.
I think when he meets, our next stop will be to the inn where we will stay in the town!
...... Two of Haiguo's guards walked from the north of the town to the center of the town, one after the other.
Watching the flow of people passing by in the town along the way, the two lowered their voices and talked.
"According to the price discussed before, it will not be a problem to set off in the next few days," the guard glanced at his companion and said, "I just don't know if the master has already found the little junior sister at this time?" ”
As they spoke, their eyes looked at the young girl passing by on the street.
His eyes swept over the crowd, and one of the guards raised his voice a little and said, "The lord said that the little junior sister likes to be disguised, and sometimes she will dress up as a man. ”
He paused in his tone, and continued: "Listening to the Lord, I have always been sure that the little junior sister herself will definitely go to the Northland, and this town is the most important stop before arriving in the Northland. “
"Will the Lord stay at the entrance of the town today?"
"According to our people, we didn't see any suspicious people passing by in the morning."
"I'm sure I'll keep watching."
...... The guard's gaze swept over the face of the other companion, and then said, "We've finished the task at hand, now do we go back to the inn or go directly to the restaurant we went to yesterday?" Or go to our lord? ”
The two guards stopped on the side of the street and looked at each other, several options in front of them, and finally they reached a conclusion of going to the restaurant to find another companion.
...... There was a light snow outside, but the makeshift location on the edge of town was brightly lit.
The empress did not follow the king's men to camp near the battlefield, but chose to stop in the town.
Insiders understand...... She naturally has a reason why she has to stop.
The mountain wind blows, and the moon looks at the mountains in the distance, and the snow on the top of the mountain glows silver.
The Empress stood in the pavilion for a long time, and when she turned her head, her eyes looked towards the highest spot in the courtyard.
It was the attic of the house facing the lake, but at this time, there was a thick layer of ice under the Jiuqu Bridge.
The Empress stared at it for a long time before she withdrew from the pavilion and returned to her quarters.
In the lakeside attic, the lotus incense burner in the corner is burning as always.
The faint aroma has not changed along the way, and everyone who smells it will feel relaxed and happy.
At this moment, Mo Yan was standing in the courtyard downstairs, looking at the frozen lake not far away, and his eyes fell on the guards stationed in the distance.
Their location is near the north of the house, and one side is next to the back mountain, and the reason why they chose to stay here is, of course, also a reason that some outsiders don't know.
Such as the entry and exit of the Secret Guards!
It is said that the empress has a lot of manpower, but for the secret guards, they still come and go freely, and there are not too many scruples.
Mo Yan glanced back upstairs, and the warm light had never been extinguished.
It was too quiet to hear the birds, only the cold wind outside.
He turned his head and lowered his eyes in contemplation, still remembering that he had been sent on a mission a few days ago...... The secret guard who has not yet returned.
Those who come and go without a trace...... I don't know where I was sent this time! (To be continued.) )
