Chapter 429: The Man Who Monitors
The rain fell from the sky, it was a little cold, the sun had long since abandoned the world, but it was a warm place. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Even if it rains, there are still a lot of pedestrians coming and going in Changzhi County, and if you look closely, the expressions of those people are a little numb, and they come and go quickly, and they don't care if their clothes are wet by other people's clothes, they just want to leave quickly.
Yuan Shanjia sat on the second floor, looking down, the shopkeeper sat on the first floor sighing, dialing the abacus from time to time, and the chairs were all on the table, not placed.
Chu Rui sat next to Yuan Shanjia and wiped his sword, as if only in this way could he calm down.
"Little Stone, it's been three days, and the Blood Killing Pavilion hasn't sent news yet, but some people can't sit still." Yuan Shanjia looked under the eaves opposite.
There were three soldiers, leaning against the wall, dragging out the stove of the opposite shop, chatting while the fire was baking, and sipping melon seeds in their mouths.
If you ignore the clothes, the knives at their waists, their wanton movements, and the glances they look at Yuan Shanjia from time to time, then they look like a bunch of thugs sitting around and bragging.
Those people were guarding the opposite side every day, and they were also there at night, and it was the people sent by Qin Wenyong to monitor them.
Qin Wenyong estimated that he hadn't taken enough benefits yet, and he wanted to peel off a layer of skin from Yuan Shanjia and others. He even wanted to gnaw the bones of several people into slag.
In three days, the people on the other side were a little anxious, and their eyes on Yuan Shanjia's side became longer and longer.
Chu Rui glanced at it lightly, "A rabble." ”
This is his evaluation of them, very disdainful.
Yuan Shanjia said helplessly: "A group of rabble can't be underestimated, and the rabble can still besiege us." Drag us to death. ”
Chu Rui snorted, "When are we going to leave the city?" ”
"Wait for news."
"What if the news doesn't come?"
"Let's go first. I think that smoke girl has a motive to procrastinate. When the time is not fixed, we become very passive. Yuan Shanjia glanced at the other side, and the hair in his ears gently unfolded in the wind.
"Here we are." She stood up suddenly, looking straight at the other side.
There was a person on the other side, it was Qin Wenyong!
Qin Wenyong was still wearing light armor, the knife at his waist swayed regularly against his movements, and his black boots were stained with dark red dirt. He was dressed in a straw robe, and the rain was running down the straw stalks.
He walked into the shop opposite, took off his hat, shook it, and tied it up by the door. He took off his coat again, revealing the black cloak inside.
Several soldiers in charge of monitoring, when they saw Qin Wenyong, immediately came to their senses, hurriedly threw away all the melon seeds in their hands, and shook their clothes, "Captain Qin, why are you here in person?" ”
One of them went up to take Qin Wenyong's robe, one went to help pick up the cloak, and the other hurriedly dragged the stove into the house and placed it beside Qin Wenyong.
When he entered the house, the door was closed, leaving only one person to guard outside, and Yuan Shanjia could not see those people clearly, nor could he see their mouths.
Chu Rui pushed the sword into the scabbard, still very calm.
Yuan Shanjia said: "Lianhui, you go and let Uncle Yun and them prepare, and let Li Gongzi come over." If there is anything later, you mainly protect Li Gongzi, and I have Jia'er protection. ”
Lianhui nodded.
After a while, Qin Wenyong walked out from the opposite side, his eyes looked in the direction of Yuan Shanjia, as if he saw her, smiled at her, shook his cloak, and strode over with his body draped.
His steps were big, he walked very quickly, and he walked towards Yuan Shanjia with a fierce momentum.
Boom! Boom! Boom! There was a knock on the door.
The shopkeeper trembled, his chubby body seemed to be dancing, and his fat kept shaking.
He trembled to the door, and when he went to open it, the corners of his mouth trembled.
He was most afraid of this kind of knocking very urgently, only the army would knock on the door so quickly and so hard.
"The people inside! Open the door! ”
The shopkeeper listened to the voice and sighed secretly: Ouch, it seems that today is going to give up money again.
Thinking that the money in his purse no longer belongs to him, his heart is painful and helpless, just like his wife being insulted by the enemy. It's like you can't resist the humiliation.
"Hey! Ay! Ay! It's open, it's open, don't worry, don't worry. The shopkeeper pulled the bolt several times before pulling it up.
Bang! The door was kicked open, and the shopkeeper couldn't dodge, so he was kicked squarely, and rolled on the ground twice before stopping.
"Why is the door so slow? Ate bear heart leopard gall? Don't you want to open the door for us? "It was the soldiers who had monitored Yuan Shanjia and the others before, followed by Qin Wenyong who was wearing a cloak.
The shopkeeper got up from the ground with difficulty, and dared to be angry, "Ouch, ouch, sir, you can blame the villain, the weather is bad today, and the business is not good, so the villain is lazy to rest in the house." I heard the sound and turned it on. You just gave the villain a bear's heart and leopard gall, and the villain didn't dare to slack off. ”
He said angrily in his heart: I just don't want to open the door for you, do you promise? Hum! It hurts Lao Tzu to death, are your ribs broken?
The kicker was a thin man, but he was quite strong, and there was not much flesh on his face, but it was all tight and explosive.
The thin man walked around a lot, and when he saw that the chairs on the table were not torn off, he believed the shopkeeper's words in his heart. But there was still an unhappy look on his face.
"I don't think you dare lie to us." He snorted coldly and said, "Where did the people who lived in your store live before?" ”
The door was broken by the tall and thin man, and it creaked and swayed, and the wind and rain blew in, and it was cold.
The shopkeeper is not only cold in his body, but also cold in his heart, and secretly said: Those guests' money has been leaked? They want to scrape some oily water? These guests look extraordinary, they should also be powerful, they dare to come here to do things at this time, they should have confidence, how can they still be entangled by these soldiers?
Although I thought about it a lot, in fact, only a few breaths passed.
The shopkeeper didn't dare to offend Qin Wenyong's gang, and was about to answer, when a voice came from above.
"Let these officials come up."
Qin Wenyong looked up and saw Yuan Shanjia leaning on the railing drinking tea slowly, as if he had been watching for a while.
The shopkeeper saw that Yuan Shanjia let these people go up, and he was a little relieved, but he was still very scared.
He looked at it with both eyes, his hand massaged his fat waist, and his heart was eagerly expecting: I hope that this group of soldiers and ruffians just wants money, not human life, otherwise my inn will not be able to live in people.
No one likes to live in an inn where someone has died, let alone killed by these ruffians. Those who stayed at the inn would have feared that the ruffians would come back and kill people.
However, the shopkeeper's worries are not too necessary, the war is coming, and no one who can stay in the inn will come here, even if there are no dead people, there are not many people staying in the inn.
