Chapter 189: I don't know where to go

I listened intently, not wanting to miss a single word for fear of hearing it wrong! "The big boss received a letter yesterday morning!"

One of my hearts reached my throat, and I couldn't help but clench my fists.

One of the dart masters whispered: "The letter is not signed, and it was brought by a trustee." ”

"The big boss has read the letter, and the unique code of our dart game is on it."

"Why didn't you say this when you saw me just now?" The other of the dart masters said with a slight twinkle in his eyes.

"The great master has told me not to say it," said the speaker, with a sigh, "and I would never have opened this mouth if it had not been for your constant obsession." ”

"Don't spread the news down when it reaches you," he coughed a few times, and lowered his voice to admonish, "otherwise you and I won't have any good fruit to eat." ”

"The big boss means to hide from the people in the dart game for the time being."

"Don't worry, I know what matters."

"What's on the letter?"

The dart master suddenly closed his mouth and looked around at the customers walking around the store, and his eyes moved to the long street with people outside the window.

Then I heard a slight sound, the sound of fingers gently swiping on the table.

My heart sank, and I could only see a corner of their desk, where the man's stroke was blocked by his own elbow.

Even if you sit in front of him, you have to see it clearly to know the handwriting he makes, not to mention the distance, my ears are amazing, but I don't have such magical powers.

I sighed helplessly. The running hall brought me the meal I ordered in time.

A bowl of vegetarian mixes with a pot of lotus rolls, and rice for me, I sat there. suppressed the anxiety in his heart and simply ate seriously.

I couldn't see the words that the dart master at the next table was typing on the table, but the reaction of the other person was all in my eyes.

Looking at his focused and solemn expression, I'm afraid that the content of that letter is not simple!

I ate half of my meal, and wondered if I was looking for a chance to sneak into the dart board and read the letter.

This thought was just swept away, and I dismissed it. I will inevitably go back to the palace before dark, and there are places like the dart game, and people are extremely vigilant. It's definitely not easy for me to sneak in silently.

If something happens, if you can't go back to the palace, something big will happen!

What's more, alarmed the patrol. The people in this place have some friendship with the yamen. I can't eat and walk around.

For a while, I couldn't think of a better idea, and for now, I could only act on the opportunity.

The conversation at the next table, except for the most secret part, opened up again after a while.

I was just about to pick up the food with chopsticks and put it in my mouth, when I heard the dart master ask another person, "What did you say about something new on the way?" ”

The one who was asked took a sip of wine, wiped the corners of his lips and said, "It's not long before you detour to Yuzhou City." Stopped at an inn and ran into a troupe. ”

"What's new about that?"

Another dart master was puzzled and said, "Troupe." Is it still rare for our national capital city? ”

"Further south, it's more darts."

"The corners of the troupe are really beautiful, boys and girls, I really feel sorry for them." "It's time for your dirty mind to be reined in." "Needless to say, when I'm on the road, I know it in my heart." "And then?"

The speaker lowered his voice and tapped the bowl with chopsticks: "That troupe, good luck." ”

"Heavy rain for days, the mountain road is not easy to walk, there are still a lot of people living in the inn, among them, among them"

At this point, suddenly the voice became a little quieter, almost a whisper.

"And such a thing?" The other was taken aback.

"That's right, after they left, the innkeeper said that she was a female official in the national capital."

The two of them chatted without stopping, and I listened calmly and ate the meal in silence.

After a meal, I followed the master and paid for the meal.

Walking out of the restaurant's door, they were in the opposite direction to me.

My second stop in the capital is still waiting for me.

After crossing Suzaku Street, which is the busiest street, I went west to the bridge and then turned into the alley to the north.

That's the good thing about the capital city, and I want to praise the layout here again, what a convenient thing for road idiots, I just have to count the street corners and walk.

Walking on the street, I was keenly aware that the scene in the capital city I saw when I left the palace was a little different from before I entered the palace, the most obvious thing was that there were many more people patrolling the city.

As soon as the change in Yuzhou City came out, and the war was restarted, the recruits recruited from all over the country had probably completed their training and went north.

The atmosphere that I had not felt in the palace was much more evident in the city.

It's an atmosphere that can be felt anytime, anywhere, even on a busy street or in a sea of people.

I passed by a few of the guards, deliberately bowed my head and did not look at them, and hurried by, as if following behind me, and when I turned back, there was no one staring.

Alert, I thought about it and decided to wander the streets for a while, picking a crowded place to squeeze through.

It wasn't until I felt that even if I had a tail to follow, I should be thrown off, so I stood in a corner, identified the direction, and walked towards the small courtyard of the persimmon tree.

Walking through the crowd, I arrived at the alley where Ji Jiu Xiao'an and they used to live, and when I saw the familiar place, I felt a little kind in my heart.

I even slowed down, wondering what I would say to them if I did.

The scenery at the mouth of the alley is still the same, after all, the days of leaving are not long, but a new wine shop has been added to the alley, selling rice wine produced in Sealang.

The aroma could be smelled from a long distance, and when I passed by the tavern, I saw that the business was not very good, and the guy who was guarding the counter looked at the crowd on the street with a dull look.

I was thinking that if the sake brewery was opened at the mouth of a small alley, there must not have been a boom in business near Suzaku Street. However, the rent of the shop in Wangshi is expensive, and speaking of which, the aroma of wine is not afraid of the deep alley. Not necessarily right.

Location, the flow of people is very important.

When the young man saw me approaching, he perked up, quickly stood up, and then took a step, glanced at me at the door, and looked me up and down. When I walked by, my eyes followed me for a while.

It made me a little nervous and inexplicably worried.

I'm not sure. I had to stand under the tree at the entrance of the alley for a while, and if someone passed by at this time, they might think that I was waiting for someone.

After a while, I saw the young man walking back to the winery. I thought to myself, just now he thought business was coming to the door. It was intended to greet me, not as I feared.

After settling down, I looked at the courtyard in the depths of the alley, and saw the courtyard gate under the big persimmon tree in the distance, and my steps suddenly accelerated.

When he arrived, he immediately stretched out his hand and knocked on the door.

No one answered even after knocking for a while, I thought that Uncle Liu was at home alone or busy in the kitchen and didn't hear it, maybe Xiao An Jijiu went out.

I was in the shop near the dart game just now, and the shopkeeper made it clear to me that Ji Jiu had left. But I had a feeling, a feeling that I couldn't put into words. I always felt that Ji Jiu would not leave the national capital city for no reason like this.

I was skeptical of the shopkeeper's words, and if it weren't for that, I wouldn't have come to the persimmon tree courtyard as I had planned.

There was no one left and right, so I shouted: "Uncle Liu, I'm Xiaoling, I'm looking for you." “

There was silence in the courtyard, and there was still no answer.

Disappointment flashed in my eyes, and I thought for a moment, then took a few steps back, looked at the courtyard wall, and thought that it would be the right thing to do

When I finally arrived at the courtyard, the doors and windows were closed, and there was no one under the persimmon tree.

I walked up the stairs to the kitchen to check.

The cold pot and cold stove looked like it had not been inhabited for at least a few days.

It seems that this trip has indeed been in vain!

Could it be that the owner of the noodle shop is telling the truth? Ji Jiu had already left the national capital with Xiao An and Uncle Liu a few days ago? He also guessed that I would definitely find an opportunity to go out of the palace to find them, and even guessed that I remembered Sister Li and their affairs, and would go to the vicinity of the dart game?

How could he guess so accurately?

I sat in the lonely courtyard, under the persimmon tree, staring at the sky above me in a daze, and my mind was thinking fiercely.

They took a lot of trouble to send me to the palace, fulfilled my thoughts, and quietly left themselves.

It doesn't sound like what these guys would do.

Especially Xiao An, when we first met him, I was extremely impressed by his whole state.

There is also Ji Jiu, the unspeakable atmosphere between the two of them, it seems that they have already agreed to do a few things in the national capital, how could it disappear silently?

Irrationality! It's so unreasonable!

I stayed in the small courtyard for about a quarter of an hour with a blank expression, and with a thought, I decided to put this matter aside for the time being, anyway, the sign given by He Yanzhi can still get out of the palace gate.

It's a big deal that I will take advantage of the palace banquet to come out again, and I don't have to do everything today, and I don't have a clue about the news that I should inquire about.

I made up my mind, I stood up and patted the dust on my body, and this time I could go out of the courtyard gate generously, but I thought about it, and I still used the method I had just entered.

Slowly walking out of the alley, I once again identified the direction, the third stop I was going to, I had to cross a small half of the national capital.

Passing by the door of the winery, I was stunned to see that the young man who had made me suspicious just now was standing by the door, and when he saw me coming out, he raised his foot and went out and stopped in front of me. "I don't buy alcohol."

I waved my hand, intending to get around him. "Girl, did you come to this courtyard to find that family?" "The surname is Liu, isn't it?" The young man at the winery asked softly. "That's right," I quickly grabbed his sleeve and asked, "Do you know Uncle Liu?" "A few days ago, he came to ask me, saying that if someone came to find him, he told him that the house had been sold." "What did you say?" I let go of my hand and said in surprise, "I've only been away for so many days, and I even sold my house?" (To be continued......)
