After waiting for about two hours, their carriage came slowly to the city gate.

A guard in a gray official uniform swaggered to their carriage and horses.

Holding his head high, he nodded in Xue Er's direction with his chin and said, "Where did you come from?" What are you here for? ”

"This official, we came from the countryside next to us. Isn't this the child sick, so I want to go to the city to find a Langzhong to show her."

Looking at Xue Er's humble appearance of bowing and raising his knees, the guard nodded with satisfaction: "I'm sick, I have to see a doctor, and I have to see it as soon as possible" As he spoke, one of his hands stretched out in the direction of Xue Er as if inadvertently.

Xue Er looked at the hand stretched out to his eyes, smiled knowingly, took out a dozen copper plates from his arms, and stuffed them into the guard's hand with his sleeve.

The guard didn't look down either, only tapped the weight on his hand with his hand, and then glanced at Xue Er and Wen Qing'an with some disgust, but seeing that they were dressed shabby, he pouted and didn't say anything more, and waved his hand to signal them to pass.

Xue Er turned around and thanked the guards twice, then turned around and came back to the carriage, and Wen Qing'an led the horse to the city.

But as soon as the carriage had taken a few steps, they heard someone shouting to them: "Those two men leading the horses, stand for me."

Wen Qing'an and Xue Er, who were stopped, frowned and glanced at each other, then turned to face the man who walked over.

The man was older than the guards just now, dressed in gray-blue government and with a saber at his waist, and walked towards them with a vigorous step.

"Brother Chen, I just checked this family"

"Check the fart, did you see it in the car? Every day I think about silver. I don't know when my head fell off."

After the man named Brother Chen finished scolding the guard just now, he turned his head and said sharply to Wen Qing'an: "Open the carriage"

Hear the man say that. The anger in Wen Qingan's heart was rushing upward, and he didn't even care about the man's words. He stood there refusing to move.

The guard who was scolded next to him just now, seeing that Wen Qing'an didn't move for a long time, yelled at him angrily: "What the hell are you doing, open it quickly"

Xue Er saw that Wen Qing'an still looked unwilling, and while constantly apologizing to the two men, he turned around and opened the car door, and lifted the curtain hanging on the car door, so that people outside could clearly see Wen and them.

Originally, they thought that this would be fine, but the man surnamed Chen actually said, "Let them come down"

This made Wen Qing'an even more difficult to accept. stepped forward and stopped in front of the carriage and horses, and said solemnly to the man in front of him: "My lord, even if we are just insignificant ordinary people, we can't let you insult like this."

Even the guard next to him persuaded uncomfortably: "Brother Chen, don't forget it, you've seen it too, don't embarrass others."

Hearing the words of the guard next to him, the man surnamed Chen turned his head and glared at him angrily, until he was cut off by an uncomfortable look. Only then did he turn his gaze, look at Wen Qing'an and say, "Let them come out"

But after saying it several times, I didn't see Wen Qing'an make any moves. Eventually, all the man's patience was exhausted, and he was about to pull out the saber from his waist.

Xue Er saw that the man was about to draw a knife. Immediately stepped forward and pressed his hand, and said with a smile: "Official, don't be angry. Don't be angry. Wait a minute, I'll go and persuade him."

said. walked to Wen Qing'an's side and whispered, "Brother Wen." Usually you can endure it, but what's going on today? Where did the fire come from? ”

Wen Qing'an took a deep breath, suppressed the evil fire that was running straight up in his heart, and just wanted to say something, he was interrupted by Wen who got out of the carriage: "Xianggong, since this official wants us to come down, let's come down, it's not a big deal."

After finishing speaking, he picked Wen Anan off the car. As Wen and Wen An settled down, Wen Anze and Wen Anhao also jumped down.

The man surnamed Chen saw Wen and them coming down, walked forward, looked around them, and then pointed at Wen An'an and said, "Take your veil off."

"You"

At this time, even Wen and Xue Er disagreed.

Seeing everyone's angry expressions, Wen Anan hurriedly untied the veil himself, and then deliberately made a look that he thought was hideous, and smiled at the man: "Look uncle, you are so pitiful, An An will show it to your uncle."

Speaking of which, although Wen An'an's expression is not very scary, for people who are not psychologically prepared, Wen An'an's true appearance is too far from the phenomenon formed, so it will be difficult for people to accept it at the first time.

When the man surnamed Chen saw Wen An'an's face, he didn't show anything other than a moment of stunnedness.

The most exaggerated thing is that the guard, when Wen Anan took off the veil, he was so frightened that he covered his heart and jumped back, panicking everyone: "I'm scared to death, grandma, this is a person or a ghost."

Hearing the guard say this, Xue Erqi was about to step forward and beat him on the spot, but he let the man surnamed Chen take the first step, kicked him in the ass fiercely, and scolded: "The dog can't spit out ivory in his mouth, hurry up and get out of me"

The kick was so hard that it almost broke the guard's tail bone.

After the surnamed Chen finished kicking, he no longer cared about the guards, but just hugged his fists and said apologetically to Wen Qing'an: "Everyone, I'm really sorry, the order from above is like this, we can't fail to obey it, I hope you will be considerate."

Although he heard the man in front of him so polite now, after a series of things that happened just now, everyone didn't have much of a good face for him, and just greeted each other and got into the carriage.

After entering the city, Wen Qing'an approached Xue Er, bowed his head and said to him, "Things are really strange. Did you notice the way the man searched the carriage later? ”

Xue Er nodded, and then Wen Qing'an's words: "I noticed it, he seems to be searching for someone, but the strange thing is that looking at him, I don't know what kind of person he is searching for."

"Yes. If he was looking for an adult, he looked around the three children for a long time, but if he was looking for a child, he carefully observed a few of us. Even Wen An'an, a little girl, he didn't miss it."

"yes, it's weird, it's a man and a woman, an adult and a child. Who are they looking for? ”

"Anyway, let's go to the inn and inquire about these places later, it seems that this time the matter is not simple, learn more, we have a good number in our hearts, and what taboos will be committed when the time comes"

After the two discussed for a while, they drove the carriage and looked for inns everywhere in the city. Finally, I chose an inn that was a little off the main street.

The inn is not large, but it is cheap and clean.

Because they wanted to save money, they only needed two inferior rooms. After putting the baggage in the room, the group went downstairs to eat and prepare for dinner.

Because it was noon at this time, even though the place of this inn was a little out of the way, there were still many guests sitting downstairs. Wen Qing'an and the others chose a corner facing the street, which was not noticeable, but also allowed them to observe everyone's every move in the inn.

The six people asked for four bowls of noodle soup and ordered some steamed dishes, and sat there waiting for the meal to be served.

However, in this interval, the family, from the oldest to the smallest, was like a rabbit, pricking up their ears and listening to the conversation of everyone in the inn.

However, this hearing did make them hear a lot of news.

"I heard that no, many places have been investigated very strictly recently. Do you see it's harder to get in and out of the city than usual now?"

"Don't talk about going out of the city, even the curfew is much stricter than usual now, and the next door neighbor of my aunt's brother-in-law was arrested for going out after the curfew, and it took several days to release it. Listening to my aunt's brother-in-law's neighbor and his mother, everyone has changed since they came out.

"This is also to blame himself, at this time, who dares to go out at will, must not be arrested as a chaotic minister and thief"

"Shhhh

"I'm not just talking to you. Hey, you said that the fuck is really weird, how did a person who is so good as General Sikong become a traitor? ”

"You still don't understand this kind of thing, it must be their immortals fighting, which is why we little ghosts suffered."

"It's too, it's too, don't say it, come on, drink and drink"

Listening to the intermittent discussion of the people at the table next to him, it made Wen Qing'an and Xue Er shocked. The two glanced at each other, and they both saw a look of surprise in each other's eyes,

Wen Qing'an leaned to Xue Er's side, and then whispered: "It seems that this time the matter is quite big, this is really necessary to inquire about it."

Xue Er listened to Wen Qing'an's words and nodded clearly: "Yes." So sit here, and I'll go and inquire about it."

"Can you do it?"

Looking at Wen Qing'an's worried look, Xue Er's ruffian smiled angrily at the corner of his mouth: "You quickly remove the word '?'." I'm the best at this kind of thing, and there will be absolutely nothing wrong with it, don't worry."

From the counter, after asking for a pot of wine, Xue Er came to the table next to him with the flask and sat down.

Xue Er, a big living person who suddenly appeared, made the two men who were drinking stunned. After looking at Xue Er for a long time, the fatter one said strangely: "This brother, you have done something wrong, right?" ”

Even after a little distance, Xue Er could still smell the man's full body of alcohol. After laughing twice in my heart, I picked up my wine jug and filled the empty wine glasses of the two men, and then replied with a smile: "What's the matter, didn't I just overhear what the two brothers said, so I want to continue to listen to the two of you tell me, this pot of wine should be my filial piety to the two brothers."

The two men looked at their filled wine glasses, and after they drank them with a smile, the fat man patted Xue Er's shoulder again: "Seeing you so upright, okay, what do you want to hear, brother, I'll tell you"

Looking at the somewhat reddened face of the visitor, Xue Erthief smiled and said, "It's about General Sikong" (to be continued......
