Luo Boxuan also knew that Aoki was for their good, but he had no other choice, "Uncle Qing, let's try it, maybe we can get out." ”

Aoki sighed, "Okay, let's try, as long as everyone is alive, it's better than anything." ”

Luo Boxuan was actually a little apprehensive in his heart, but since he was the leader of everyone, he couldn't show his cowardice and lack of confidence.

After half a month's long journey, everyone has consumed all the food in the bag, even the salt is gone, and the most important thing is that they can no longer find a water source, and the people who have not drunk water for two days finally reached the edge of the woods at dawn, and there is a small town in the distance, which does not seem to be visited by locusts, because the leaves and grass on the edge of the forest are still in their original state.

"Hehe, we're coming out—"

When everyone was almost desperate, Lobo Xuan finally led them out, and there was a river running in front of them, and everyone could not care about anything now, so they first ran to the river and poured themselves full of water, and then let the horses drink and graze to their heart's content.

"Head, what are we going to do, let's get into town now?"

Ye Li shook his head, now he didn't know exactly where this place was, "No, there are so many of us, we can't all go over, Uncle Mu, you and me, Uncle Qing, you stay here with everyone and wait, let's go and investigate the situation ahead." ”

Originally, Aoki wanted to follow, but let Luo Boxuan stop him, the situation ahead is unknown, once something happens, at least Aoki will not have a problem.

Aoki was worried about his young master, and he also knew why the little master left him here, and he told him nervously.

"Remember, when you see that the situation is not right, withdraw quickly, and send us a signal if it is not good, you still have the explosives given by Yue'er in your pocket, you really encounter the enemy, you will blow them up, don't be strong."

Seeing that Mu and Lo Boxuan left together, Aoki's heart was always lifted, and the others felt that Aoki was a little nervous in the past.

"Aoki, it's not like that, it's just a small town, and if you look at the pedestrians on the street, you don't see any enemy troops."

Aoki smiled bitterly, "That's what makes people worry, just this place, I think it's a three-regardless zone, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and it borders Yebei and Turan, who knows what these people do, how are the people, don't be a nest of bandits, otherwise we can really escape from the tiger's den and enter the wolf's den, and it will be difficult to go home." ”

In fact, in everyone's hearts, they all feel that what Aoki said is a bit mysterious, and in their thoughts, these three areas are the safest.

Lobo Xuan and Aoki rode to the town on horseback, not to mention that the street was quite lively just by looking at the people coming and going, and there were all kinds of people here, as if there were no borders in this place.

Luo Boxuan and Mu Tou are now wearing Yebei's clothes, and they are not so conspicuous even when they are in the town, especially when Ye Li has also dressed up, it is even less conspicuous.

With the sound of selling, the two of them led the horse to stroll around, although they were hungry, but the two of them were not in a hurry to find a place to eat, first looked at the situation here, first they wanted to find someone to eat, to see if it was their beggar gang here.

Not to mention that he finally saw a few inconspicuous Hanako in a corner, Luo Boxuan gave the wood a look, and said in a low voice, "I'll wait for you at that inn, if there is no special situation, let Uncle Qing and them come over for dinner-"

Wood nodded, and the two of them acted separately, Wood pretended to throw money away for a few begging for food, and glanced at the token of their beggar gang in front of each other's eyes, and saw a middle-aged beggar's eyes lit up, and then looked up at Wood.

"Thank you, sir, for your food—"

Then he lowered his voice and said, "It's not okay to talk here, you follow me." ”

Turning his head, he told the other beggars, "Be on guard here, make some noise—"

Then the wood followed the middle-aged beggar one after another to an alley, compared to the prosperity and liveliness in front, this back can be a little quiet, but fortunately the wood belongs to the art of the master of the bold, otherwise another person may not dare to follow people to such a place.

In fact, Mu Tou's heart is not without muttering, is this beggar real or fake, what is there to say, why did he lead him to this place.

However, as the middle-aged beggar pushed the door, the people sitting inside made the wood excited, "Brother Ye? ”

Ye Xiaozheng, who was sitting in the yard, was so excited that he didn't know what to say, so he patted Wood's shoulder twice, "You guy, you've made me wait for a long time-"

Immediately, the outside door was also closed, but the middle-aged beggar did not leave and stayed at the door, giving outsiders the feeling that this person was guarding the door of someone's house to ask for food.

Ye Xiaozheng pulled the wood into the house, "Tired, hurry, eat something, I've been waiting for you here for a long time, just because there has been no news from you, the other end of the family is dying, I can't help it, spread the big net and send people to guard every location, just wait for your news......"

As he spoke, he brought a few leftover buns from the morning to the wood, "Eat first, let's talk about it when we're full—"

Looking at the wood like that, he was obviously thin, and he looked like he was dusty, even if there was more, he couldn't ask.

The wood is not welcome, and half of the bun goes down when you open your mouth, "It's delicious-"

In the second bite, the remaining half of the buns also entered his stomach, and after eating one, he stopped continuing, and hurriedly told Ye Xiaozheng about their situation.

"Ye Li is still waiting for me at the inn next to me, I have to go find him, the large army is still in the woods over there-"

Ye Xiaozheng pressed the wood, his face was a little serious, "You are talking about the inn they are guarding next to?" “

Mu nodded, staring at Ye Xiaozheng with puzzled eyes, "What's wrong, there's something wrong with that inn?" “

Ye Xiaozheng was not in a hurry to talk to Mu Tou, first ran out and whispered a few words to the beggar at the door, and then hurriedly walked in.

"There is indeed a problem with that inn, it can be said to be a black shop, but there are still some doorways here, and I don't know which country this point is working for, anyway, it's not simple, I just asked someone to send a letter to Ye Li, you wait here."

Alas, fortunately, it was the two of you who came, if a large number of people came, this matter is really not easy to do, this place looks like the place of our Golden Dragon Kingdom, but it is close to Yebei and Turan, and the people above can't manage this side at all, this is simply a paradise for people from all walks of life. ”

Mu Tou is a little worried about their young master now, in case this black shop bullies strangers, the safety of the little master is not easy to say.

When Ye Li first walked into this store, he felt that something was not right, he couldn't tell what was wrong, maybe the guy was too enthusiastic and the shopkeeper's smile was too fake, anyway, he didn't dare to sit down, but ordered ten meat buns to take away.

"Ah, guest officer, aren't you dining here?"

The guy was still a little surprised, and Lobo shook his head, "No, I still have to hurry, wrap me up right away-"

He didn't dare to do more, he always felt that it was safest to leave here quickly, so he stood at the door and waited, even if the guy was dissatisfied, but in the end Luo Boxuan still left the gate with ten meat buns, this time he didn't dare to go anywhere else, this place made him feel uneasy.

Just as the middle-aged beggar came to look for him, walked to his side, and secretly said to Ye Li, "Go forward, turn left, I'll wait for you there-"

After speaking, he pretended to be nothing, and continued to beg for food with a broken bowl, although Luo Boxuan didn't know what the other party was, but just now the wood was connected with these people, and now that the person is gone, it must be his own person, so he didn't dare to delay leading the horse and went directly to the front.

Around the corner, the middle-aged beggar finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Brother, you are really bold enough, there is a problem with that store, this meat bun you took, hehe, to tell the truth, I don't dare to eat it if you give it to me for nothing, do you know what it is made of, human meat, do you understand?" ”

Lobo was so frightened that he almost threw away the meat bun that was delivered to his mouth, but the middle-aged beggar stopped him, "Don't, give it to me, I will find a way to throw it, if you throw it in this place, maybe the other party will notice." ”

As soon as the words fell, Ye Xiaozheng and the two of them had already poked their heads out of the door and beckoned to Luo Boxuan.

"Uncle?"

Seeing Ye Xiaozheng, even Ye Li was a little surprised, and hurriedly led the horse in, "Why are you here?" “

Ye Xiaozheng looked him up and down, "You kid, you're almost scared to death, hurry up and go into the house, eat something, I'll arrange the rest, you two stay here first, I'll go find the people over there, you don't have to worry about eating......"

Ye Xiaozheng took care of everything, and Ye Li couldn't say anything, after all, they were not familiar with this place, and it was better for Ye Xiaozheng to come forward, especially those people who were indeed hungry to the limit, if they didn't send food over, he was worried about Aoki, and they might think that something had happened to them.

"Okay, go ahead, we'll be waiting for you here-"

There are buns, Ye Li and Mu are not polite, first make their stomachs full, the two of them just breathed a long sigh of relief, Ye Li told Mu what happened just now.

"Huh? Human meat buns, damn it, is there any royal law here, this is a capital crime of murder, they are so blatantly sold to passers-by, and no one has taken care of such a thing? ”

Ye Li smiled bitterly, "Who cares, now let's not say that the Golden Dragon Kingdom itself is in crisis, let's just say that the officials above can be greedy, and if they can cause less trouble, they will cause less trouble, and this territory is close to the other two countries, and the personnel are also complicated, and if there are too many people, maybe they will cause trouble." ”

Ye Li took out the bag hidden in his clothes, "Alas, I'm so tired, I really want to get a good night's sleep, and I don't know what my uncle can get Uncle Qing and them to eat, how should they arrange it at night-"

The wood is also tired, just now he was worried about Ye Li's safety, this person is in front of him, and the brothers in the woods are also taking care of him, even he feels tired and doesn't want to move.

"Let's lie down for a while, and when your uncle comes back, we're discussing the next step, and I don't know how your master is doing now, alas-"

Before he could answer, the wood himself snored first, and Lobo shook his head amusedly, but also sighed a little distressedly, picked up the felt rolled up on the edge of the kang and covered the wood.

He curled up to the side and closed his eyes to rest for a while, originally thinking that he couldn't fall asleep, but when Ye Xiaozheng came back, the two of them slept so badly that even his coming in didn't affect the good sleep of the two of them.

Ye Xiaozheng stared at these two people with complicated eyes, looked at the note in his hand, and wanted to wake them up, but he was a little reluctant, and hesitated for a long time before pushing the wood.

"Wake up, Brother Wood, it's getting dark, it's time to get up-"

Not to mention, although the two of them slept relatively dead, but with Ye Xiaozheng's words, even Ye Li quickly opened his eyes at this moment, although he was still a little confused, but his brain had begun to wake up.

"What's wrong?"

Ye Xiaozheng handed the note in his hand to Ye Li, "Look at it, this was just delivered, fortunately you went this way, I heard that a lot of people have been arrested recently at the last pass, and also, after your master completed the task, the person disappeared, and we don't know where he is at present." ”

Ye Li was not very interested in the previous news, but when he heard the latter news, he immediately sat up straight and carefully looked at the content on the note.

The person also fell into silence suddenly, and Mu was a little anxious, "What does this mean, where did Ouyang Yi disappear?" There's always a place, right, even if we go to find someone, we have to have a direction, right? ”

Ye Xiaozheng shook his head, "We don't know, judging from the last news, he was going to leave Turan at that time, and now we only know that the king of Turan seems to have been poisoned, and there is no news about the rest."

According to my guess, he must have disappeared on the way back with someone—"

Ye Li didn't say anything, took out the map he was carrying and began to study it, his hand was on the map for a long time, and his eyes suddenly became cold.

"Uncle, you see, if my master follows this route, then he will eventually pass by here, because there will be Turan checkpoints and soldiers on all routes, here, here, there is no defense, that is to say, he may pass through this town, hurry up and ask people, have a large number of people come recently?"

Ye Li calculated the time, and it happened to be just after this difference, and now the more he thought about it, the more anxious he became, but his mind became more and more sober, and he pulled Ye Xiaozheng to sit down.

"Uncle, tell me what's going on in this black shop, how much do you know, tell me about it-"

Ye Xiaozheng sat down and scratched his head, "Actually, I haven't been here for long, when I learned that Yebei came to our side of the pass to strictly investigate, and later I heard that it was the king of Yebei who was assassinated, I guess there is a chance that something happened to you."

I guess you will definitely go back, I don't know where you will come back, I have contacted the places where you can't send people, and I'm also worried here, because there are few people, and this place is more complicated, I'm afraid that you will come from here, once you don't understand the situation, you will suffer.

As for this place, don't look like it's very prosperous and lively on the outside, but if you really talk about it, such a small town is more chaotic than any other place.

Not only from our Golden Dragon Country, but also the people of Turan and Yebei also live in a lot, all kinds of people gather together, murderers, robbers, all kinds of people hide here.

Let's just say that this black shop, I also listened to our beggar gang disciples, the shopkeeper did a good job before, I don't know why he suddenly didn't make a replacement, the shopkeeper's family said that he went back to his hometown, I now suspect that the shopkeeper's family is estimated to have been killed.

As for the people who are doing this shop now, when they meet strange customers, they can ask for as many as they can, and when they meet fat sheep and the like, they will directly make human meat buns, but I haven't seen it with my own eyes, these are what the brothers of the beggar gang told me.

What's the matter, do you suspect that your master was made into human meat buns by them? (To be continued.) )
