At the gate of Suzhou City, the guard Ah Lai slowed down and looked towards the city.

The companion behind him followed, approached him and asked, "Wait a minute, I saw the Fu Steward in the Chengdong Mansion, you told him?" “

Ah Lai glanced back and forth at his companion and nodded silently.

The two men walked through the streets east of the city one after the other.

After a short time, I arrived at the door of Yuwen's house.

The fat figure of the butler was already waiting by the door and looking out at the street.

When he raised his eyes and saw the two people running closer, his face suddenly changed to meet him.

Ah Lai dismounted, didn't have time to rest, and first told the Fu steward about what happened.

In addition to this, he mentioned another thing.

In the letter left in the empty room, the young man added a sentence at the end of the letter, saying that he also left a letter in the study before leaving.

He went to Nanhua Town to track, considering what might happen on the road ahead, and he was prepared for everything, and this time was no exception.

After hearing this, the Fu steward didn't care about asking questions, and immediately turned around and ran towards the house.

The escort Ah Lai didn't have time to say anything about the unusual movement on the way back, and saw the figure of the Fu Steward leave in an instant.

After a while, his companion gritted his teeth vigorously and whispered to him: "Don't mention that matter, lest it be extraneous, they haven't stopped to ask us in the woods." ”

"Maybe it's someone from the capital city who is involved in the army."

After thinking about it, his companion frowned and said: "Walking in such a hurry, and they are familiar with the road conditions, the key is that they know that they are not ordinary people at a glance." ”

"When we were in Nanhua Town, we had already confirmed the news that Master Wang was not far away."

"Come and think. The biggest possibility is related to Wang Shi. ”

The companion said a few words in quick succession, which sounded reasonable.

The person in front of him was in such a hurry, of course, for the sake of the letter in the study.

The butler hurried into the courtyard. In his understanding, the letter had to be found as soon as possible.

Only by finding the letter can we figure out what the third young master left on it.

Because it is related to the arrangement of their trip to Suzhou.

Now, the third young master is walking away like no one else, chasing a kid he met by chance in the middle of the road!

Sounds so weird!

Steward Fu sighed secretly, at this time, he was left alone in the Suzhou East Mansion of Yuwen's family, and he didn't understand what he had to do.

Not much else. How should I explain to the elders of the Yuwen family when I return to Xilanan?!

When Steward Fu thought of this, he felt heavy and relaxed in his heart.

He trotted all the way into the yard and ran outside the study. Sweat on the back of winter.

Half tired, half anxious.

Just like Ah Lai's confession, Steward Fu really found the letter written by his third young master before leaving in the study.

It seems that the third young master has already had a plan.

In case there is a problem that cannot be solved temporarily in Nanhua Town, the time to come back is delayed. You must have an explanation for the people in the house!

The Butler pulled out the letter from the envelope. After reading it soon, at least I have a bottom in my heart now.

He stood in his study and pondered for a moment, then turned and walked out, intending to finish the first thing the letter had said

Time pushed forward, and I looked at the shopkeeper in a daze, not understanding why he stopped again.

There is no one I don't know right now, and no one else is going to talk to him.

In the entire inn lobby, except for the young man who was quietly making tea in the corner. There are no more superfluous people to mix.

I stared at him and pursed my lips and said, "You go on, that person from the martial arts." What happened five years ago. “

I urged again.

The shopkeeper retracted his gaze in the direction of the wooden staircase and whispered to me about it

The promenade on the upper floor of the inn is close to the position of the wooden staircase.

The boy leaned against the railing, a little distracted.

For some reason, the innkeeper's narration gradually attracted his attention.

The people of the samurai family five years ago?!

This is the second time I have heard something I heard in a teahouse.

As a bystander who is not related to the situation, it sounds like a headache!

The doctor in the town doesn't seem to be the doctor himself, why is that guy Xiaoling so interested?!

He shouldn't be someone related to the martial arts family, let alone the son of a martial doctor, the young man knows.

Things were going in a direction he didn't understand.

Isn't that guy going to the Northlands?

Thinking about this, the boy clenched his fists irritably.

Five years ago, the people of the samurai family they talked about changed their ordinary lives because of what happened in the mountains.

Xiaoling inquired so much and so carefully, could it be that this trip to the north would change the route halfway?

He frowned in thought, he didn't need to be too close to hear movement in the inn lobby.

The boy's eyes glanced towards the side of the stairs, and the conversation below never hid from him.

After a while, he decided to go down and have a look, and walked lightly, and walked down the stairs almost silently.

At this moment, another thought flashed through the boy's heart.

In fact, this kind of thing should be left to the people below.

Who told him to send away the two guards who were following him, and refused to let them follow!

In the current situation, it is better to let one of the guards who Xiaoling does not know come forward, or let another Yi Rong come forward, than to take action himself.

The boy's face stiffened as he walked down the stairs.

Previously, he had been worried that the other party would recognize him, for fear of revealing flaws

I stared at the innkeeper with wide eyes, and I looked at him for a moment, barely composure

Things were a bit of a surprise to me.

I had been mentally prepared for a long time, but after careful consideration, there were a few details that I couldn't figure out for the time being.

Except for one thing, I didn't question the shopkeeper's words. I had a gut feeling he didn't mean to deceive me!

At this moment, there was a sound on the side of the wooden staircase, and the familiar strange man returned.

When he approached. He said to me in a light tone: "Didn't you say that you would prepare one for me?" Where is it? “

Dare to love is still for that bowl of soup!

The problem is, this person's temperament and demeanor don't look like a person who is obsessed with eating!

I was speechless and turned my head to look at the young man.

He was as good as a stream, and immediately straightened up from the stove, and then approached the strange man and said, "Your bowl of soup, we are afraid that it will be cold, I will take it back to the kitchen just now." Place on the stove and warm. "I'm going to get it for my grandfather."

I glanced at the innkeeper, unsure of the previous conversation, what I was talking about. How much did the weirdos really hear?

The shopkeeper glanced meaningfully at where the man was sitting.

He calmly picked up the teacup and took a sip, then looked at me and raised his voice a little and asked, "Little brother, are you going to leave Nanhua Town tomorrow?" “

Everyone in the lobby on the ground floor can hear the shopkeeper clearly. "Hmm," I didn't care. He replied. "I asked the price today, and it's still enough to take the bus to the Northland."

At the end of the day, this matter was the smoothest, and there were quite a few caravans southeast of the town, so I was more relieved.

I was worried about whether I would have the right opportunity, and I was worried about the price.

The shopkeeper began to talk to me about the scenery of the Northland, and as soon as the conversation box was opened, it couldn't be closed

As he spoke, the young man quickly returned from the big kitchen. With the bowl of soup and snacks in his hand.

The strange man took it, and after eating, he stood up as if he was about to leave.

What he didn't expect was that he took two steps. He turned back to the place where I was sitting and whispered thanks.

Glancing in the direction the stranger had left, I asked the innkeeper, "Didn't you move last night?" ”

The shopkeeper nodded and said, "That person from the martial arts family has never been here." “

He said it frankly, and it seemed that the previous clues were enough to confirm the object of the thief in the inn.

But now that the matter has been discussed, I will inevitably have associations.

The innkeeper followed my gaze and looked at the staircase.

I lowered my head and pondered for a moment, and asked him in a calm tone, "There are a lot of inns in this part of the town, right?" “

This problem is known not only to the shopkeeper, but also to the young men in the inn and even the residents of the town who have lived in the town for a long time.

Therefore, without waiting for him to answer, the young man who brought hot water to refill the tea for us spoke first and smiled: "In total, there are four in our neighborhood, large or small. ”

I gave him a strange look, then glanced over to the innkeeper and asked, "Other inns are doing the same?" ”

I mean the range of activities of the samurai one.

He's been stealing from the town for a long time, but when I saw him in the evening, nothing seemed to be of much value that had fallen off his body.

During the day, you can take a sheep in a shop in the town and touch some small objects, and at night you go directly to the inn to steal the guests' things, which are two different things.

How much more risk does the latter have to take?

The man from the martial arts family, at least a few years ago, worked as a shopkeeper and opened a small shop, is he so confused that he can't understand this truth?

My suspicions are well-founded.

When the innkeeper heard this, he finally showed a strange look for the first time tonight, and he frowned and hesitated, as if he did not know how to answer me.

"The other inns are close, and we know each other."

The shopkeeper didn't answer, but the young man took over the conversation, looked at me and said, "It's really strange to be said by you, a few inns over there don't seem to have encountered this kind of thing." ”

I looked at him intently, and then said, "It seems that he is staring at you here, I want to ask if you have a holiday with the martial arts?" ”

"Absolutely not, Doctor Wu, the people in our town respect him very much." This time, the shopkeeper answered me without thinking.

"How long have you been in the business of thieves here?" I asked.

"Lately, it hasn't been long." The young man's gaze paused on my face for a few seconds, and he replied one step ahead of the innkeeper.

I quietly picked up the teacup and took a sip, and a new clue slowly formed in my mind.

From the shopkeeper's account to the actions of the samurai family that I observed, and what I experienced in the town.

One of them is missing, and I always feel that there is a lack of such a paragraph, and I can't think of other possibilities in a short time.

An idea suddenly came to my mind, if only I could ask the person from the martial family!

The crux of the doubt lies in him.

After a while, I stood up and said to the shopkeeper, "I'm bothering you today and asking you so many things." ”

"I'm going to leave Nanhua Town tomorrow, and I asked you just now, mainly because I heard a lot of things about the martial arts family and felt curious."

I remembered the actions of the aunt in the teahouse, went upstairs, and asked the shopkeeper: "Do you know Dr. Wu, haven't you seen his child?" ”

"I heard that he has two children, a boy and a girl."

The shopkeeper was stunned and said: "The two children of the martial arts family rarely come out, let alone mention us here, I'm afraid only people who live in the same alley are familiar with it." ”

"Dr. Wu practices medicine in the town on weekdays, and he always goes alone."

I passed through the corridor of the inn and walked to my room.

It was late at night, and the innkeeper was sitting downstairs with the shopkeeper, and he had to get up from time to time to patrol the inn, for fear that the man from the martial arts family would suddenly come to do it again.

When I push the door in, I habitually check the inside of the room, and everything is as usual.

I closed the door tightly, lit the lights in the room, and went to the window and pushed it open.

The scent of flowers and trees in the front yard poured in with the cold breeze, and within seconds, I closed the window.

Walking over to the table and sitting down, I took the bottle of the potion from my bosom, looked at it in my hand and looked at it repeatedly, and then took out another packet of powder from the bag where I had put my things.

It's the medicine powder that I grind for me today in the small pharmacy.

The medicinal juice was put into a small dish taken from the kitchen, and the medicinal powder was taken out and mixed together, and it instantly turned into a dark and dull color.

Tomorrow I will cross the street to the southeast of the town, and I plan to remove the cumbersome hat I wear while negotiating the price, which is the most important process before leaving.

After a while, I looked at the new image in the mirror and couldn't even hold back my laughter!

Compared with the time when I was in the capital city and I was angry with my senior brother for the sake of ordering a mole, this time I took the initiative to order it, and I was in a much better mood.

The innkeeper's words dispelled half of my worries, and there should be very few people in the southeast area of the town who have seen martial arts.

However, there are always exceptions to everything, and if it happens, at least add some protection to yourself.

In addition to this, I also applied an extra layer of light-colored liquid to my face.

Covering his original complexion, Wu Yu's disguise medicine was further refined.

Before dawn, I laid my baggage and fell asleep on the chuang of the inn.

Wait for the light of day, go directly from here and go to the southeast of town to catch a ride.

I think I'm afraid that the people who follow the caravan will hear a lot of it.

The road to the north, all the way to the Northland, there is always only one destination.

Wang Shi did not move for the time being, and had no intention of entering Nanhua Town, and they did not stop in Suzhou, so it is difficult to say this time.

No one could have guessed the empress's thoughts.

It's like I can't guess someone's intentions.

Until now, I can't figure out why he wants to get involved in the troubled waters of the war in the northern lands of Sealand.

What I know for sure is that he must have his reasons. (To be continued.) )
