Chapter 209: What is owed is slowly repaid
...... The guards' eyes swept over the bridge again. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The private room next door seemed too quiet since there was one less person.
So far, except for the sound of the young man in the restaurant serving the food and a brief conversation......
There was no other movement, and the footsteps of the guard who had gone out of the restaurant and returned could not be heard.
His companion followed his gaze to the stone bridge and quickly settled on a target.
It was a pedestrian passing by the crowd, but it seemed to have a special temperament.
It was clear which of the guards had come out to walk around town.
Don't blame the eyes of the Sea Kingdom guards for being "poisonous"!
They can see similar feelings in their companions who spend time and night.
It doesn't even take much effort for them to be sure of eighty!
The guard frowned and looked at the side of the stone bridge and saw the man coming down from the bridge.
As far as the eye could see, the guards could already see the man's appearance clearly.
He had a little frown in his mind.
The guard was cautious, and after observing it carefully for a while, he looked at the two companions who were together and said, "We saw this person when we came back from the town!" ”
After a pause, he continued: "I didn't expect to see it again around here." ”
"Could it be the lady who recently stayed at the inn?"
The guards of the Sea Kingdom are simply guessing accurately!
After listening to his companion's words, the guard nodded calmly: "Yes, but she didn't bring many people, and this guard should have driven her to the town." ”
It can't be a little girl driving!
After thinking about it, the guard said: "In addition to the guard, there is also a maid who follows her, the people who have gone to the inn before, they plan to buy more people, they have something to do in the town, and they don't bring enough people!" ”
The eyes of the two companions met when they looked at each other, and there was a hint of inexplicability.
"Yes, it must be an account, but I don't know if the little junior sister on the Lord will be involved!"
The guard's tone was meaningful, and the two companions were still stunned for a moment.
Several of them, often the taciturn guard in front of them saw things most clearly.
But a few of them are sometimes tricked by that impulsive, reckless companion.
"We can't figure out the secret, the person who left hasn't come back yet, just keep waiting."
Anyway, no matter how complex the problem is, there is one most critical point.
The key point is that the war in the north is pressing, and the master of his family has made it very clear that the little junior sister will definitely hurry to the north before the war.
With this key point, even if the situation is a little more muddy, it doesn't seem to be unreasonable!
...... After a brief conversation, the three of them looked out the window.
The man walked out into the street, but didn't come in the direction of the restaurant.
It's about to be on a mission.,If there's not enough manpower.,The eldest lady who stayed in the inn has to entrust the people of the inn to come forward and continue to recruit some helpers.。
Looking down from where they were sitting, they could see the way the guard looked at the crowd, and it was clear that he was looking for something.
He walked slowly along with the crowd in front of him, his eyes always on what was going on around him.
The street was crowded with people, and he squeezed into the crowd, occasionally turning his head sideways to look at the shops and pedestrians next to him.
His gaze scanned everything around him keenly, a look peculiar to a guard.
There were many townspeople passing by him, and there were also aliens mixed in.
Whenever he passes by someone like him, that person's gaze will look at each other with extra vigilance.
The three people who were upstairs in the private room of the restaurant saw it, and they actually had a feeling of déjà vu......
That's right, when they followed the sky to the town, the two injured companions were in a similar state to the person below, so they felt touched when they looked at it.
"Looking at his eyes, it's more like he's looking for someone."
It wasn't until the figure of the man disappeared into the mouth of an alley that the guards withdrew their gaze.
He looked at the two companions opposite and said, "Obviously, the people we are targeting are not the same group, and there is no collusion. ”
After thinking about it, he pursed his lips and continued: "Otherwise, how can you just pass under the restaurant and not say hello?" ”
During this time, I did not see the man come into contact with any strangers.
After looking around, it can be concluded that he is planning to use his observation to find suspicious objects in the crowd, in the most lively part of the town.
Or maybe it's a bit of a try!
...... After the boy came back, I looked at him a few times, and I wanted to ask about the details of his meeting with the people of the Yuwen family just now.
But seeing him sitting on the side with a cold expression, and didn't seem to have much interest in talking, I could only understand that the meeting was not going well, and temporarily suppressed the curiosity in my heart.
After waiting for a while, he raised his head and looked at me and said, "Xiaoling, let's go now?" ”
"Okay!"
Just as he was about to get up, suddenly there was a loud noise outside.
I immediately stopped moving, looking at the street outside the store.
Naturally, the noise came from the street, and it seemed that someone was coming!
I kept looking the street with curiosity.
When I saw a group of uniformed people passing by on the street, I couldn't help but turn my head and whisper to the young man, "Look at what you just passed...... Are those people the team that Wang Shi stayed in the town to assist the government in recruiting soldiers? ”
After listening, the boy nodded slightly.
"That's right," he added affirmatively, looking at me, "these are the people." ”
"Xiaoling, these people appeared at the entrance of the town, and I saw it at that time." The tsundere boy looked at me and reminded me loudly...... Meaning, let me recall what it was like when we were at the entrance of the town.
I suddenly remembered!
Indeed, in addition to the people from the government, there were vague figures shaking at the entrance of the town, and it was too lively at that time, so I didn't look carefully.
No wonder the tsundere boy had scruples, so he chose another way to enter the town.
It's better to search one group of people, but if we add another group of people, what if we have somewhere, which of interest has piqued their interest?
I have more concerns than he has, but I can't tell!
After thinking about it, I looked at the boy again and said, "Since they are all gone, what are we waiting for?" ”
"By the way, the eldest young master...... Where is the place where your guards have set up? ”
The tsundere boy stared back at me, and the corners of his mouth raised: "The biggest inn in town, they have set it." ”
Yes! Sounds great!
I suddenly thought of hot water, thought of a comfortable and clean bed, and suddenly became happy.
"Young Master, your guards are very reliable," I didn't hide my joy and didn't hesitate to compliment, "Young Master, can we go?" ”
"Xiaoling, they did order the biggest inn in town, but I don't plan to stay there this time."
The boy's words wiped out my expectations.
I looked at him depressedly and asked, "Why?" ”
The young man said very domineeringly: "Where are there so many whys, I don't think it's suitable, so I won't go!" ”
The boy stood up and paid for the food he had eaten in the store to take out the money he had spent on buying pen and paper before he had to take it out, and gave him more.
The guy immediately smiled and very enthusiastically escorted us to the door of the store.
Earlier, that guy was worried that the tsundere boy had run away, and he was worried that I would eat white food!
Belch...... That's a quick change of attitude!
...... The people of the royal division passed by the most lively area in the town, so there was a brief commotion of the people in the streets.
After waiting for a while, they walked past, and the flow of people in the street returned to its previous state.
We walk into the crowd and sometimes need to avoid oncoming pedestrians.
The tsundere boy saw a tall man striding towards us, and reached out to pull me gently into the street.
"Xiaoling, if you go inside, it's not easy to be bumped into."
His tone was calm and authentic.
"Young Master, didn't you always say that after meeting with the Yuwen family's guards, you would stay at the inn," I wondered if something happened during the meeting?
"Young Master, why did you change your mind?"
I still wanted to ask him about his unusual behavior, and I felt that something was wrong.
"Who is the person you said should not have come but came?"
I speculated, and couldn't help but continue to ask, "Is it just to take care of them, so ...... You just changed places? ”
The boy looked at me, and his steps stopped on the side of the street.
Then he said in a serious tone: "Xiaoling, I don't have so many scruples myself. ”
He looked me up and down and said, "In the final analysis, it's because I have you with you, your kung fu is low, and if something happens, you don't have the ability to parry." ”
"So, I should be grateful to you?"
"That's right, you continue to owe it, and you can pay it back slowly in the future."
I was thinking about what he was going to do by "yet".
Won't I wait until I get to the Northland, and when I'm leaving, all of a sudden, tell me how much I owe him or something, so how am I going to pay it back?
I still held it back, and decided not to think so much for the time being, and the soldiers would come to cover the water and cover the earth, and it would not be too late to wait for the matter to come to an end.
"Right now, the king division is in the Northland, and if he has left so many people in the town to gather the men of the Qi Pioneer Battalion, it is estimated that he will soon rush to the Northland to converge, right?"
I looked at the tsundere boy and said, "It will take a lot of effort to wait for the people to be summoned, and I am afraid that I will have to march day and night to catch up with the pace of the king." ”
When the young man heard this, he shook his head and said, "It's not that serious, Master Wang has already been settled in the Northland, and now I'm waiting for the opportunity." ”
The young man paused, looked at me and continued: "The empress must have a follow-up move, if the people here can't be gathered, they won't be too passive." ”
He thought for a moment, and emphasized to me in an important tone: "What's more, with the national teacher on the side, he will definitely make a plan more thoroughly." ”
I looked at him in a daze and subconsciously stopped.
It wasn't until the boy urged me that I hurriedly followed.
"So, you can know the latest news of Master Wang now, eldest young master, have they confirmed that they have arrived in the Northland, settled down, and are they near the battlefield?"
I said a few words in a row, and the young man looked at me and frowned: "The empress did not follow the princess to the valley to settle down, she lived directly in the town with the national teacher. ”
"Really?" I looked down and thought about it, and didn't continue to ask.
"Xiaoling, I heard you mention that it seems that you have seen the conscription in other places in Xilan?"
Unexpectedly, the tsundere boy took advantage of my silence to take the initiative to pick a topic to talk to me.
"Yes, when I was in Yuzhou at that time, I once saw conscription, and then I heard that you talked about the replacement, which is the same as Xilanan."
I replied to him in a serious tone.
Indeed, on the way to the capital of Zealand, we once witnessed it with our own eyes, and Ji Jiu was ...... I'll call him Ji Jiu!
He told me the same thing.
"Xiaoling, when you come here, it's different from Yuzhou and Xilannan."
The young man said in a calm tone.
A trace of confusion flashed in my eyes, and I asked curiously, "It's different, how can it be different?" ”
"Let's talk about what Yuzhou saw or heard first."
The boy motioned to me.
I thought about it carefully, looked up at him and said, "The people of Yuzhou City actually don't resist conscription much, and it can even be said that they are enthusiastic about signing up. ”
What I said was the truth, and I didn't make it up, because I saw with my own eyes the reaction of the people on the street at that time.
I looked at the tsundere boy and said, "Also, except for those who tried to escape during the conscription, that is, a small number of rich children will grab the bag to replace them, they are afraid of death and are more willing to spend money!" ”
"Oh," the tsundere boy looked at me with some interest and asked, "You saw it with your own eyes?" Not hearsay? ”
"I have seen the scene of conscription at the city gate several times, and I have seen the people of Yuzhou signing up enthusiastically, so can there be a fake?"
"Yes, you've seen it yourself, and you're asking me what's the difference?"
The boy tried to reach out and hit my forehead again, but I reacted quickly and quickly dodged away.
Looking back, I was indeed surrounded by him, but in fact, I can relate to the differences.
I wonder why the two sides are so different?
"The emperor is far away and knows few things, so he is more ......"
The tsundere boy looked at me, with a look of "I don't say you should understand", as if he saw the conjecture in my heart.
Distance does affect the understanding and judgment of things, well, he was right!
...... I walked down the other street with the tsundere boy, and he watched me slow down as he walked.
The young man stood in front of me, looked at me and asked, "Xiaoling, what did you do when you went to Yuzhou?" ”
The young man looked at me thoughtfully and said, "Yuzhou is still a little bit of a road away from the national capital......
I looked at him, in fact, I really wanted to say where I went to Yuzhou!
That's a stop I pass through on the way, okay?
It's like I'm in a small town right now.
Before the itinerary was decided, my final destination was changing for what I was going to do.
Now I can determine where I'm going, and it's only because of someone, he......
Of course I don't want to and don't want to talk to Tsundere Boy and Pan, but I have to find a reason to talk about it! (To be continued.) )
