On this point, several people sitting in the room actually agreed about the same. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

If there are several people in the room who disagree during the discussion, listen to the majority of people.

Unless one of them has enough reason to convince the others.

Only in this case will it be possible to change their original plan of action.

...... After a short while, there was a sudden sound in the courtyard outside the window.

Several people in the room exchanged glances for a moment.

One of the guards who was sitting closest to the window also reacted immediately!

He hurried to the window, opened it and looked out.

The cold wind from the yard blew in through the window and poured into the house.

It's very cold outside, and it's not as cold as inside the house.

I saw the little guy who landed on the windowsill fluttering his wings like a guard returning from a long trip.

The guard's eyes lit up, and he reached out and stroked the little one's head, carefully stopping it in his hand.

The guards then brought it in and placed it on the table.

He closed the window and made eye contact with several of the guards in the room.

"It's a letter to transport medicinal herbs, yes."

After reading the letter, the guard raised his head and hesitated, "The letter said that the car currently being transported has passed through Nanhua Town and will soon be at the next stop. ”

Several people in the room exchanged glances again, and according to the current information, the news should be very accurate.

However, it was still slower than expected, and the time was a little late.

The guard paused and said, "The letter also said that they would rush overnight and go straight to Beidi Town without stopping. ”

Since this batch of medicinal materials was intended to be transported to Northland Town, of course, it was intended to be in time before the Northland War began.

After a delay on the way, he had to sacrifice the time he had to rest at night to make up for it, and traveled to the north day and night.

Before Tianfang set off, he informed the Haiguo guards who were working below, and it was originally expected that the car would arrive in the next two days, but now it seems that it will definitely not arrive.

Even if the weather is good and there is no major mistake in the road conditions, at least it will have to be postponed for one or two days at the original time.

In normal times, the past two days are not unusual, but with the war in the north, I am afraid that the inventory at the entrance of the town will only be tight.

On the contrary, the number of people coming in and out of town will decrease rapidly.

Putting everything else aside, just entering the town, it will be more difficult for the medicinal herbs to come in smoothly.

The guards looked at each other, and this was what they invisibly revealed.

Things sound...... There seems to be something tricky.

However, in the time of postponement, the lord of his own family should be able to return from the mountains.

Thinking about it like this, the guards' hearts relaxed a little.

"I can't think of a better way right now."

After all, it was the most senior guard in the group who opened his mouth.

He looked at the rest of the people in the house: "Calculate, in about the time when the car should arrive, let's go out of the town to greet us, and find a way to let the medicinal herbs come in smoothly no matter what." ”

This kind of thing, once it is done, must be successful, if the attempt fails, the medicinal materials transported will be directly seized at the entrance of the town.

At that time, the medicinal materials can still come in handy, but it will not pass through the hands of the people of Haiguo.

Several people were stunned when they heard this, and immediately understood what he meant.

Everyone nodded, and the atmosphere turned a little dull.

The older guard turned his head to look at the companion who had returned from the entrance of the town: "When I went to inquire about the news this morning, weren't there two people who arranged for the past?" ”

He frowned and asked, "Where did the other person go besides you?" ”

When the young guard heard this, he immediately looked at him and replied, "When he was at the entrance of the town, he saw that a carriage came in a little suspicious, and he went with him to inspect it. ”

The atmosphere in the room froze for a moment.

His companion's gaze swept over the guard sitting across from him, and he asked in surprise, "There are so many cars entering and leaving the town, why are you keeping an eye on one, but what's wrong?" ”

There was a hint of surprise in the eyes of several people.

The guard met his companion's gaze when he heard this, then turned his head to look out the window.

The companion asked, "That car is going to the place where the empress lives?" ”

When the young guard heard this, he replied, "No, the car is not going to the house, but to the most lively street in town." ”

There was a slight fluctuation in the expression on his face, and he paused after a while: "At this time...... The car should still be over there. ”

"I guess I went to a shop on the street."

The young guard didn't make it particularly clear, because he wasn't the one who was following the past, and there was no conclusion yet.

However, since it can attract attention, it means that there must be something unusual about the car, otherwise it will not arouse the interest of the Haiguo guards to track it.

We'll find out when that companion returns!

The guard thought for a moment, avoided the gaze of the other companions in the house, lowered his eyes and said, "He said let me come back first and do my own thing." ”

The day before departure, Tianfang had assigned tasks, and each performed its own duties.

So as soon as his words came out, the rest of the room did not object.

They had a lot to do, and the guards who were following the car should be back as soon as they figured out their whereabouts.

If there is an abnormality, it is estimated that the message will have to be delivered to the mountains.

Tianfang's current location must be in the deep mountains outside Northland Town, in the area to focus on exploring.

...... Running out of the inner room, he saw the guests sitting at the table by the window looking in his direction.

Seeing the other party's gesture to check out clearly, he walked over with understanding.

From the time the two of them arrived in the town by car, until now, most of the time they have stayed in this shop on the long street.

The meal took a lot of time, but they ate quite comfortably.

If you want to say regrets, there are also regrets, in addition to the individual specialty dishes that took a long time to open the store and did not order them at the beginning, there is also a small regret that his family's wine was not able to drink to the fullest.

But overall, the meal was very satisfying and exceeded expectations.

Before leaving, they also hope that they will have the opportunity to taste it next time.

...... When the two of them left the second floor, there were not many guests sitting on it.

When I got downstairs, I saw that there were more customers sitting in the hall than upstairs.

The man in front of him looked at what seemed to be a table against the wall and someone was looking at them.

When he stared at the past vigilantly, he only saw the guests who were leisurely bowing their heads and drinking, and suspected that the moment just now might be his own delusion.

"Something unusual? Or is there tracking? ”

The one who followed behind him, seeing the footsteps of the person walking in front of him stagnant, instinctively sensed that something was wrong, and immediately lowered his voice and asked.

If something is really wrong, there has to be a next step.

The companion retracted his gaze and said in a calm tone: "No, I saw it wrong, it's just a customer in the store." ”

...... The two of them came out of the shop, because they had already greeted the driver, so this time they planned to walk directly over.

The two walked unhurriedly along the street for a while, and then turned into the alley.

The next direction for them is to go to the north mansion where the empress lives.

When they walked into the alley, they deliberately stopped and inspected for a while.

Not seeing a tail following behind them, they continued to walk forward.

Slowly approaching the area north of the town, giving people the most obvious feeling...... It's just that there are a few streets apart, and there are a lot fewer pedestrians.

The shops along Long Street, which is in the center of town, must be very lively.

But the distance is not too far, and if they are all so deserted, it is all due to the relationship between the empress living in Beidi Town.

...... The two of them walked to the street near the house, and they already saw that there were suspected guards changing clothes among the people walking on the street.

Although he wears the usual attire of the residents of Northland, he can detect a little bit of his temperament.

It seems that not only the guards stationed in the courtyard, but also the people patrolling outside are lurking in all corners, and there are people who move around frequently.

These people are all to ensure the safety of the empress in the area of Northland Town, and some of them may have followed her all the way from the national capital.

The other part is the subordinate guards sent by General Gu Da who is stationed on the front line in the north.

"In this way, let's not approach rashly, let's stop on the street near the house and see the movement first."

The companion sensitively caught the message in the words, looked at the people around him and lowered his voice: "Isn't there a tea shop diagonally opposite the house?" ”

After thinking about it, he said in a cautious tone: "Let's go over and have a bowl of tea and inquire about the news by the way." ”

"Well......" The people around them replied, and the two walked to the tea shop on the opposite street, each asked for a bowl of tea, and stood on the side of the street to drink a few sips.

On this street, there are not many pedestrians passing by, and cars are even rarer.

During the time of the tea drink, there were less than a dozen people walking by, and there was only one car, which was still driving on the other side of the street.

Among the pedestrians, there were a few people who seemed to be Wang Shi who was concealing their identity.

"You'd better not keep looking over there, there are a lot of guards on the street, and I've caught a few people who look like they're here to spy these days."

Suddenly, they heard the shopkeeper of the tea shop come up and talk, and the two of them were startled.

The other party paid attention to the movements of the two guests, and it was also a kind reminder, because it seemed that these two were new to the town.

As he spoke, the shopkeeper's gaze rolled on their faces.

The two of them hurriedly withdrew their gaze.

At this moment, they stood on the street outside the tea shop, turned their heads and took a deep breath of cold air, looked at the shopkeeper guarding the stove and said with a smile: "You can see it, we are indeed very curious." ”

"We are from the south of Zealand, and when we arrived in the town, I heard that His Majesty lives in the mansion over there, I don't know if it's true or not?"

"Oh, it's possible," said the shopkeeper, who stacked the washed tea bowls one by one and stacked them neatly on one side, next to the stove where the tea was boiling.

He moved his mouth skillfully, and lowered his voice and said, "Don't ask too much about this, beware of being heard by the people patrolling the street." ”

Few of the people in the town have this curiosity, and they dare not come to the vicinity to inquire about the news.

Counting up, since the empress arrived in the town...... Only these newcomers, or aliens, have the courage to do so.

The shopkeeper of the tea shop added a little tea for the two of them and said: "It's been these two days since the Northland sent troops, and it is estimated that they are about to leave!" ”

After he said a word, he lowered his head and continued to look at the stove where the tea was boiling.

After the two looked at each other, one of them looked at his companion and said, "Why don't I go first?" ”

The companion immediately stopped: "No, we are all here, so it's okay to act together." ”

He said in a calm tone, "Let's go over together." ”

The shopkeeper of the tea shop just turned around and went to get a few tea bowls, and when he looked back, he saw that there was tea money left on the table.

As for the guests who stopped for tea just now...... They have left.

The shopkeeper's gaze fell into the distance, and he saw that the two of them were actually walking in the direction of the mansion.

The two of them crossed the street and walked straight to the door of the house.

The shopkeeper was taken aback, and immediately saw the guards on the other side walking quickly over and scolding each other.

The shopkeeper of the tea shop suddenly shrank his neck in fear.

From a distance, he couldn't hear the conversation across the street, and it wasn't long before he was surprised to see the two being brought in.

The shopkeeper of the tea shop grew up in an instant, and his mouth was speechless.

He stood there a little dazed, his mind blank, and for a moment he forgot to even look at the tea on the stove.

He secretly said in his heart: Who the hell are those two!

...... I had just been talking to Chen Xiang for a while when I heard movement behind me.

I turned my head to look and saw the young owner of the pharmacy pushing the door and walking out.

He walked up to me and said, "The man is awake and looks fine. ”

I glanced at Chen Xiang, and his steps were faster than mine, and he quickly went to the house to inspect.

Indeed, when I walked in, I saw that my temporary companion, the unfortunate one who had been poisoned, had woken up.

He froze, still at a loss.

I approached him and asked, "How do you feel now?" ”

Chen Xiang had met him, he was more familiar than me, and when he saw this, he stepped forward to talk to him.

I simply took a step back and decided to avoid it first, Chen Xiang mentioned to me that he would deal with the specific matters first.

I turned my head to look at the young owner of the pharmacy, and at this time, Chen Xiang paused while speaking, took out the money bag from his arms and handed it to me: "Xiaoling, I'll tell him in detail, you go and settle the medicine money." ”

The money bag came into my hand, and I stared at the young owner of the pharmacy and said, "It's better to settle the bill first, they have something to say." ”

...... After a moment, I looked at the person standing in front of me in amazement.

The young owner of the pharmacy said in a resolute tone: "I won't accept it, what you did before is enough to withstand it." ”

"And what do you mean by calling me here?"

He led me to the storeroom of the pharmacy, and I looked at him in astonishment, unable to understand his intentions.

"One yard to one yard, I have already received the silver needle you sent, which is considered to be the money for the prescription, but the medicine money should be calculated separately."

My mind is not confused yet, the key is that before I walked out just now, the money bag that Chen Xiang handed me was still in my hand.

The point is that I feel a bit of weight and want to come...... He shouldn't be short of money to pay for the medicine! (。 )
