Chapter 182: The Commanding Heights of the Town

...... "Auntie, thank you for your hospitality." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”

The guards stood up one after another.

From time to time, they kept an eye on the movements of Tianfang.

When they saw the eyes of the heavens, they knew what their master meant...... It's almost time to hit the road!

The degree of tacit understanding is reflected in the fact that you can quickly understand the meaning of the other party from a glance and a gesture.

The guards have been by Tianfang's side for a long time, and they have long cultivated a similar tacit understanding.

During the time when Tianfang and his party stayed in the tea shed on the side of the official road, some individual guests passed by.

There are more visitors to the north than to the south, but there are still very few people staying at the tea shed.

The two batches of people this morning will be the two biggest businesses of the day for the uncle and aunt.

When the guards walked out of the tea shed, Tianfang got up.

He moved more slowly than the guards, and saw the tea money that one of them had left on the table...... There is also dim sum money, which is more than the average customer.

Tianfang's eyes swept the official road outside the tea shed again, and there happened to be pedestrians passing by on horseback, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

...... The group came out of the tea shed, and the guards not far away stood on the road waiting for the release.

Next, their goal is clear, which is to go in the direction of the town.

Counting up, the tea shed is not too far from the town, and the road is straight ahead, so you can clearly see the scenery ahead.

On the side of the official road along the way, you can see the undulating mountains and forests.

The terrain of the town is not as high as that of Nanhua Town, which is built directly on the mountain.

After walking out of the road, Tianfang paused and asked the guards on the side: "When you were talking earlier, the old couple in the tea shed mentioned the matter of the nearby village, is it the village near the river?" ”

Some of the conversations were not listened to in such detail.

After all, the guard who talked the most talked to the eldest lady had been talking for a long time, and he took advantage of the moment of small talk to listen to some news.

However, Tianfang is familiar with the map, has seen the distribution of this area, and knows that there is a big river not far away, which is actually an important waterway connecting the north and the south.

When the guards heard this, they hurriedly looked at the heavens and quickly replied: "Yes, Lord, they are talking about the fishing village by the river. ”

"It's said that in the past few days, the villagers have come less."

In winter, the north is bitterly cold, and the waterway has been frozen due to low temperatures.

In fact, when sailing from north to south, the farthest boat can only reach the boundary of Suzhou a little bit past.

When they arrive in the Northland, the most suitable mode of transportation for them is by land.

The guard didn't know what Tianfang was thinking at this moment, so he answered honestly, and then several people exchanged glances.

I didn't say it, and I didn't ask it, but when I was in the tea shed, the Lord heard the conversation between them and the old couple!

...... Arrived outside the town, almost noon.

Tianfang saw that there seemed to be an official from the local yamen at the entrance of the town, and immediately glanced at the people below.

They stayed outside the town, no more than a few dozen meters away.

The guards understood that the Lord was intending to disperse the ranks.

Receiving the wind of the sky, they consciously distanced themselves from each other.

Mixed in with the passing caravans and the nearby people, it doesn't look so eye-catching.

At the entrance of the town, people are constantly coming in and out.

Tianfang's meaning is very clear, if a few of them go together, it will inevitably look more conspicuous.

Several of them have some kind of god-like temperament.

They walked outside, and they had met the same situation countless times, and they knew what the Lord was thinking, even without saying it.

It is estimated that among the people going north, there must be people who do the same thing as them, also to avoid trouble and keep a low profile.

Tianfang's appearance moved, and he used a very useful trick that he had tried before.

When he passed the customs, Tianfang slightly stiffened his back, and the whole person didn't seem to be so upright, and his mental outlook was different from the original.

"Be careful and be flexible."

The guards instructed each other, and Tianfang walked over one step ahead of them.

Despite the preparations, when they passed the level, the state of several guards was obviously more tense than that of Tianfang.

Fortunately, when I got here, there were many people coming on the small road connected to the entrance of the town, and it was finally more lively than when the official road was observed.

In addition, the clothes of the guards are very inconspicuous, and the texture and style are inconspicuous.

They are a little nervous, but don't ordinary people be nervous when they meet and observe? There seems nothing surprising about it.

...... Not to mention the thrill, a few of them successfully passed the investigation at the entrance of the town and arrived in the town.

As he walked through the streets of the town, a map that he had seen many times immediately appeared in his mind.

Yes, along the way, whether it is by boat or car, or stopping at the inn, Tianfang will take some time every day to take out that map and take a closer look.

In order to familiarize yourself with the terrain of the north, the places you pass along the way.

Tianfang hopes that before arriving at each new location, he will have an understanding of that place, instead of blindly moving forward.

Speaking of which, the terrain of the town is relatively easy to identify, and several roads are almost quite regular, so even newcomers walking in the town will generally not get lost in the town.

...... Tianfang and the guards arrived in the town and gathered together again.

"Lord, let's pick an inn to rest."

The guard stepped forward and glanced at Tianfang, lowered his voice and asked, "Where to choose?" ”

Tianfang stayed on the street, first looked at the pedestrians passing by on the street for a while, and then glanced at the four guards who followed and responded: "Follow me, take a walk around the town first." ”

He wasn't in such a hurry, at least until he got to know the situation first.

...... At the intersection of one of the busiest streets in the center of the town, stands a three-story building, which is a restaurant familiar to the guards.

Everywhere you go, there is almost always a store with the largest scale and the best reputation in the local area, and this town is the same.

Tianfang walked across the stone bridge and quickly locked onto the target.

As far as his eyes could see, because he saw the banner of the restaurant waving in the wind, he had a little eyebrows in his heart.

Stopping and looking at the people passing by, as well as the people coming in and out of the restaurant, most of them can already determine that this restaurant will be the place where miscellaneous news in the town gathers and spreads.

They had prepared well before they set out, so as long as they wanted, they carried enough money to cover the needs of the restaurant and food.

When the guards arrived in the town, they had planned to settle down temporarily, thinking of finding a suitable inn to stay in the town.

But looking at Tianfang's appearance, it seemed that he was quite interested in walking around the town, and even the two injured guards followed silently, and the other two didn't say much.

They walked a long way around the town and stopped directly at the stone bridge near the restaurant.

Looking at the eyes of their own masters, most of them want to go to the restaurant to sit down.

The guards exchanged glances again, and without hesitation, they hugged Tianfang and walked forward together.

As for the location and route of the next placement that I had thought about before, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, not to mention that Tianfang, as the backbone of the team, has never been worried.

Naturally, there was no reason for the guards not to follow.

The questions that come to mind, or the things that are tangled up next, can be discussed later, or you can wait for the restaurant to sit down and take the opportunity to raise it with the lord.

...... Walking around the town, it was close to noon, and it was almost time for dinner.

It stands to reason that Tianfang plans to listen to the news, but in fact, it is the most suitable time to go out in the evening.

Because I can't see everything really at night, it just has an extra layer of cover-up.

It's also a logical choice for most people who want to hide their identity but want to hear from them.

However, if you want to talk about the news collection, it is better to choose it during the day.

Of course, Tianfang has his reasons.

He judged it on the basis that there were a lot of people in the town, but some of them were just passing through the town and would not necessarily stay in the town for the night.

This will be the busiest time for restaurants.

In addition to the disguise of their identities, the guards are not as relaxed as Tianfang, and they are as comfortable walking on the road as if they were strolling in the garden.

Their concerns are always on their minds.

Gradually approaching the Northland, coupled with the fact that there are still the subordinates of the prince behind the scenes, it may be where the dark guard is waiting.

The whereabouts of the aliens are secretive, and the water in the north is very muddy, and the situation is ambiguous, so walking in the unfamiliar realm, the guards' vigilance is always there.

Following the sky for a while, several pairs of eyes behind him were always observing the surrounding scene.

The street was full of people, and the guards crossed the stone bridge with Tianfang, gradually approaching the location near the restaurant.

They huddled in the crowd, turning their heads from time to time and scanning everything around them.

Around them, there were many townspeople coming and going, and there were many people who were dressed and talked to tell that they were not locals passing through the crowd.

Among the pedestrians, there were people who looked markedly different from those of the Sealands, and the clothes and ornaments they wore could clearly tell that they were of different races.

Whenever the guards passed by such a person, their eyes would be extra attentive to each other.

Especially the two wounded guards, their eyes would be more vigilant.

In the final analysis, the encounter at the bottom of the valley can be regarded as the most frustrating of the sea country's guards in recent years.

At the same time, two people were injured by the Dark Guard's men, and even the Lord was forced to abandon the plan to track him.

Although the guards are reluctant to reminisce about what happened, it is indeed depressing to think about the situation that has caused them to be forced to change their plans in vain.

I haven't experienced it for a long time, but it can be regarded as a blow to them before they arrive in the Northland, and the result of the beating is that the current state of these people is different from before at a glance.

In order to ensure that his lord can reach the nearest town to the Northland battlefield.

The guards secretly said in their hearts that the penultimate stop on the road must not go wrong.

Tianfang quickly sensed the state of the guards who were following him.

When they got to town, they were a little more nervous than they were on the road.

Crowded locations are prone to hidden dangers.

Tianfang smiled faintly and looked at the guards and said, "What's the matter with a few of you?" You are following me to the restaurant for dinner, not going to the battlefield right away. ”

Tianfang paused and added, "You don't need to act like you're facing a great enemy. ”

He also swept his gaze around, Tianfang stopped and said in a gentle tone: "In my opinion, in broad daylight, even if the secret guard under that person arrives in the town, he will not act rashly, so you can rest assured." ”

How could the subordinates brought out by someone be so stupid that there were officers and soldiers patrolling the entrance of the town, and there were places where people of different races came and went in the town, openly attacking the people of the Sea Kingdom!

He's going to pick a good time, definitely not now!

Jing Tian opened his mouth to make it clear, and the state of the guards finally relaxed.

At this moment, their group had already walked to the corner of the street opposite the restaurant.

In this location, the flow of people is divided into several different directions, going to various parts of the town, and of course there are people who come together.

Because if you look around, there are many restaurants and grocery stores owned by the townspeople.

Tianfang saw with his own eyes that aliens also like to go in and out of that kind of grocery store, come and go for a while, and buy some favorite small things.

If she was here, she would have to go for a walk.

The corners of Tianfang's lips couldn't help but smile.

...... Leaning less, Tianfang raised his head and glanced at the plaque of the restaurant upwards, turned his head to the guards and said in a casual tone: "The pattern here in the town is not the same as that in the national capital. ”

The guards looked at the objects in front of them one after another, nodded to the sky, and said, "It's a bit like a restaurant in the southeast of Zealand." ”

"It looks like a pretty much layout."

"This restaurant is the highest in the town, and it is very eye-catching."

As he spoke, someone trotted past the guards.

The man ran extremely fast, and he didn't know from which alley he came out of and ran through the crowd.

As he passed by Tianfang, he collided with one of the guards.

The guard's expression changed instantly, and he grabbed the man.

The man stopped to see clearly, and hurriedly apologized to the guard: "I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry, and I made an appointment to eat in a restaurant, but I really didn't accidentally bump into it." ”

The man didn't even pay compensation, and he left in a hurry.

The figure flashed by, overwhelmed by the crowd, but the direction was towards the restaurant.

It seems that he was indeed as he said, but he was busy going to the appointment.

Tianfang frowned and looked at several guards, and shook his head helplessly, indeed, their people suffered losses in the deep valley, unexpected losses.

There's nothing wrong with being vigilant, but that doesn't mean the guards will have to be all the soldiers in the rest of the trip.

It seems that the guards have not encountered a similar situation for too long, and this blow is really a bit powerful for them.

Would you like to give them a few more words?

There was a moment of hesitation, and soon he himself dismissed the idea.

Tianfang seemed to be planning to wait until he arrived in the Northland, and the guards who were tracking him also touched the nail, and when they got together, they focused on talking to them about it.

Tianfang retracted his thoughts, made a gesture, and several people followed him into the restaurant.
