Chapter 10: The Pavilion of Tranquility
Towards noon, the convoy came to a slightly desolate place, which was a road leading to the country, but the environmental problems here did not make it a lively city, but there was still a building standing here. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info There is a large plaque on the top of this building that looks like "Tranquility Hall".
The convoy stopped in front of the Tranquility Pavilion, Zhang Tian jumped out of the carriage, stood in front of the Tranquility Pavilion, looked up at the big plaque, and couldn't help but sigh: "These three words give people a sense of tranquility and strong oppression, which shows how powerful the person who inscribed these three words is." ”
"Yes, this plaque is awe-inspiring whenever you see it." Uncle Ma didn't know when he came behind Zhang Tian, and he also raised his head to look at this plaque, and suddenly Uncle Ma laughed: "Xiaotian, didn't you say that you have read a lot of books in the academy?" Do you know how old this plaque is? ”
"Uncle Ma, this is testing me?" Zhang Tian also smiled, "But I have to wait for me to take a closer look to guess it." ”
Uncle Ma patted Zhang Tian on the shoulder: "You have a long time to observe, but now it's time to help unload the goods." ”
"Moving?" Zhang Tian turned back suspiciously, everyone was busy, moving goods, unloading the saddle, and sorting out items. Then he looked at Uncle Ma: "Uncle, why have all the things been moved down, it's only noon, do we want to stop here?" ”
Uncle Ma walked straight to the carriage with the most luxurious decoration: "This is the employer's order, we have to rest here for three days, go and help." ”
Zhang Tian shrugged: "Okay." It's only been a long day, and before I can feel the feeling of a mercenary, I'm going to stop again. ”
"Hey, Xiaotian, what are you doing stupidly! If you don't come here to work, you won't be able to eat if you don't work! Just when Zhang Tian was complaining to himself, the fat man Lei yelled at Zhang Tian.
Zhang Tian came back to his senses and responded, "Oh, oh. Here it comes. As he spoke, he trotted to the fat man Lei, muttering as he ran: "If you don't give it, you won't give it, I have my own money, so I won't encourage you to give me food." ”
After a long day of busy work, everyone finally moved all the things in the car into the warehouse of the Tranquility Hall. After the end, Zhang Tian and the others collapsed on those bulky boxes, and the fat man Lei took out a bag of water and poured it into it himself, and then threw it to Zhang Tian: "Hey, you drink saliva." Then he looked at the thin man: "Little fanzi, do you want to eat?" ”
The thin man took the water bag handed over by Zhang Tian: "What to bring, this is a place to eat, do you still need to eat dry food?" ”
The fat man Lei crawled over and patted the thin man: "I know you brought flatbread, hurry up and get some, brother, I want to eat flatbread now, and it will be fishy and fishy later." Now take two bites to slow down the taste. ”
The thin man put his hand into his arms, pulled it twice, pulled out a small half of the person and gave it to the fat man, and then looked at the other brothers: "What else does that brother want to eat?" ”
"Brother Fan, give me water, I want to drink water."
"Brother Lei, is there still water? Just salivate, hungry and wait for a good meal. ”
"Brother Fan, bring me some cakes too, and I'll take it slowly."
……
The brothers basically asked for water to drink, and only two brothers asked for a little bread to eat.
While everyone was drinking and eating, one of the brothers began: "Hey, brothers, you said that these boxes contain something, and each box needs three of us to carry it." ”
"yes, it felt so heavy when I lifted it just now, and when I went down the stairs, I almost didn't hold it."
Thin Zifan suddenly thought of something: "Hey, brothers, do you remember the last time we were in charge, escorting a batch of Yin Iron Wood?" ”
As soon as the thin man said this, the brothers suddenly remembered: "I still remember that last time that thing was also in a box as big as the other." That thing is so heavy, too. ”
Fat Man Lei finished eating the bread in his hand in a few bites, and lay down directly on a few boxes with satisfaction, and said comfortably: "That thing is very valuable, and every country has special needs, and they all want to have a large number of them, but every place that can be mined has been occupied by those rich and rival countries, or the great families of martial rival countries, resulting in this thing being particularly expensive." ”
"As soon as Brother Lei said this, I remembered that as long as this Yin Iron Wood was a little bit involved in the bow and arrow, the people of the strong bow army could use this kind of arrow to shoot directly through the city wall. Think about it, a wall so thick that you can shoot arrows into the wall, if it were an ordinary bow and arrow, only a strong man can do it. With this Yin Iron Wood, isn't it a disguised increase in countless Hercules? That fight is simply one-sided. ”
"Then are you talking about the Yin Iron Wood in it?"
"Well, do you want to take it apart and take a look? Don't forget the purpose of our team, we only care about escorts, no matter what is sent. ”
The fat man Lei, who had been lying on the box, suddenly spoke: "Hey, brothers, what are you saying that this peony group is suddenly going to transport Yin Tiemu to Mokesa?" ”
The thin man had an elbow and pushed down the fat man: "Don't talk nonsense, I'm not sure if it's Yin Tiemu, don't say anything if you catch anything." ”
During everyone's heated discussion, Xiao Xi and Xiaoice came to the warehouse: "Why are you still staying here, are you going to sleep in the warehouse?" ”
"Huh. Xiaoice, you see they are really sleeping in the warehouse! Xiao Xi, who ran first, saw the fat man lying on the box shouting at Xiaoice in the back.
Everyone saw the two little ghosts coming, and they patted the dust on their bodies one after another. The fat man lying on the box stretched out his hand and shouted to everyone, "Hey, someone is pulling me, I can't get up." ”
Zhang Tian ran to the fat man and patted the fat man's belly: "Brother Lei, you lie down slowly, let's eat something delicious!" "Everyone followed the joy when they heard it, and everyone was patting the fat man before leaving." Alas, don't go, skinny, why are you gone. Xiaoice, Xiaoxi..." The fat man shouted to everyone, but everyone walked faster and faster, the fat man pouted his head and watched everyone go upstairs in a hurry, and he couldn't help but be a little anxious in his heart, and he got up numbly, quickly chased after everyone, and shouted to everyone: "Hey, don't eat it all, leave some for me for the fat brother." ”
Under the leadership of Xiaoice and Xiao Xi, everyone came to a hall called 'Si' on the second floor, and at this time, the other people in the mercenary team and the caravan people were already here. This hall is very elegantly furnished, and everyone who enters this hall can quickly calm down. Zhang Tian and the others who had just come up found an empty table and sat down. As soon as they were seated, a delicious dish was served.
These few people who just came up didn't understand the politeness, they rushed for a long time, and moved so many boxes, each box had to be moved vigorously, and they were already hungry. So when the food came up, they ate it like crazy, and the food seemed to make Uncle Ma helpless for a while, so he had to teach him a lesson: "Ahem." Can you eat a little bit, and if you don't eat well, you can go out and squat and eat. ”
When Uncle Ma said this, everyone sat down obediently and ate slowly. While eating, Zhang Tian suddenly thought of something, so he put down the dishes and chopsticks: "Everyone, we have so hard to move that box, why are those mounts dragged so easily?" ”
"Hey, if you say that, it's true, I haven't noticed it before, so aren't those mounts of theirs too strong." One of the brothers agreed with Zhang Tian's words. The thin man put down the dishes and chopsticks, supported the table with his left arm, clasped his chin with the thumb of his right hand, and kept rolling his eyes. Zhang Tian saw that the thin man stopped the dishes and chopsticks, held his head and thought about the problem, and couldn't help but poke him with his elbow: "Hey." Brother Fan, what do you think? The good dishes are almost eaten, and they are not eaten quickly. ”
The thin man waved his hand: "No, no, I always feel that something is wrong this time." ”
When everyone heard that the thin man was even saying something wrong, they put down the chopsticks in confusion: "Brother Fan, what's wrong?" ”
"Of course something is wrong. Hey, you've actually seen that their hauling mounts are actually some common rune beasts that carry relatively strong goods, but these rune beasts don't have a special struggle when they drag the vehicle. Instead, it was like dragging an empty wagon. ”
Fat Lei made a silent gesture and glanced around for a moment: "Shhhhhhh Don't discuss here and speculate on other people's backgrounds, this is a big taboo for our mercenary team, don't forget it. ”
The thin man coughed a few times in embarrassment: "Eat all, hurry up." ”
Zhang Tian picked up the dishes and chopsticks and asked softly in the thin man's ear: "Brother Fan, I know that this mercenary will not ask some questions about his employer casually, but when it comes to the mercenary's own interests, there are no rules that cannot be asked." ”
The thin man covered his mouth with his hand and said: "This can be effective for ordinary employers, but for these rich and powerful, we don't ask about the benefits that will be much higher than asking." ”
When the thin man was chatting with Zhang Tian, a soft voice came from behind them: "Two distinguished guests." We don't allow too much to talk here, so if you want to chat, please move outside. Zhang Tian and the thin man saw that it was someone from the Quiet Pavilion, so he got up and bowed to apologize, and then concentrated on eating their meal.
At this time, a group of people walked in from the entrance of the hall, and these people walked straight to Uncle Ma's table in pairs. And at the back of the procession was a veiled woman. When the team arrived at Uncle Ma's table, they all consciously dispersed and walked in both directions. The last veiled woman saluted the people at Uncle Ma's table, then turned to the others and said, "Welcome to the Tranquility Pavilion, I hope you can abide by the rules of the Tranquility Pavilion, and I wish you all a pleasant stay." ”
"Rules?" Zhang Tian lowered his voice to the lowest, "Brother Fan, what are the rules of this quiet hall?" ”
The thin man muttered quietly: "Just talk less, and speak quietly." Moreover, this group of people came to warn us. When we came up just now, the brothers couldn't hold back their raised voices, and this group of people only came when they heard it. As soon as Zhang Tian heard that he wanted to say something, the thin man stopped him: "I'll talk about it later." Then he pointed at Uncle Ma and signaled that the captain had something to say.
Uncle Ma stood up at this time and glanced at the masked woman, the masked woman nodded at him, and then Uncle Ma spoke: "Everyone, let's gather outside after eating later." ”
