257, the spies of the Water Pavilion

The horse thieves in the cottage are very curious, and today the boss snatched back a new daughter-in-law from outside. Although even the brother-in-law snatched it back. However, they are finally going to have a crushing lady, aren't they? To say that in this place outside the Guan, except for the wind and snow are a little bigger, and the climate is a little worse, life is still more comfortable than in the Guan. The only bad thing is that it's too difficult to find a daughter-in-law. Not to mention that those herdsman girls on the grassland are all fierce, and it is not a small matter to accidentally cause trouble to the larger tribes. What's more, although they are all rough men who have fallen into the grass, compared to the girls on the grassland, it is obvious that the gentle and gentle little lady in the gate is more in line with their hearts.

However, the boss originally said that he would get married tonight, but after some earnest talks with his brother-in-law, he became married half a month later. It seems that the new lady's handsome brother who is not like a mortal is not too easy to mess with. How could such a person agree to marry his sister to a bandit leader? Shaking their heads, the bandits said that it didn't matter, and that it was a good thing for the boss to have a beautiful new lady.

How did the thieves who were happily preparing for the wedding know the suffering of their boss at this time? Wang Ba returned to his room, rubbed the sore spot on his body, and couldn't help but shiver. Thinking of the methods of those two people, I can't afford to resist. Forget it, get things done earlier, and send these two plague gods away as soon as possible.

"Boss." A middle-aged man who also looked like a native of the Central Plains walked in, and when he saw Wang Ba sitting at the table, frowning for a while, grinning for a while, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said. Wang Ba glanced back at the middle-aged man and said, "Second master, what's the matter?" "This man is the second-in-command of the cottage. Although they are now outside the Guan, and there are many Beiyuan people and even Semu people in the village, Wang Ba obviously trusts the Central Plains people more. Except for one of the five or six masters in the village, all of them are from the Central Plains.

The second boss looked at Wang Ba, raised his eyebrows and said, "The boss looks a little unhappy? What, what's wrong with the new lady? ”

Wang Ba was stunned, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, it's nothing." ”

"That's?"

Wang Ba sighed, and said angrily: "It's not the big surname Gong, what do you say that the big family is particular, and you have to be fully hired to marry my sister." Where do we rough people pay attention to this? "The person surnamed Gong will definitely not marry my sister-in-law, he just wants to hold Qingqing and me by himself. Wang Ba muttered in his heart.

"I see." The second master smiled: "As the saying goes, follow the customs." Now that you're on our territory, do you still have to listen to his rules? ”

Wang Ba waved his hand again and again: "No, it can't be done, Miss Nagong is very fierce." If she doesn't rely on them, she will die or live. Isn't it just ten days, and it's not that I can't afford to wait. ”

The second master said thoughtfully: "I'm afraid, they are delaying time." ”

Wang Ba snorted lightly, "Outside this level, apart from those Beiyuan people, who else is more familiar with us than us." No matter how powerful their family is in the Guan, when they get to the Guan, it is the dragon who has to coil it for me, and the tiger has to lie down for me! Second master, don't worry about this, if you have this free time, you hurry up and prepare for the wedding for me. What to buy, what to buy, what to arrange. ”

Seeing that he had made up his mind, the second master had to sigh and nodded: "Okay, then I'll be busy." ”

Looking at the back of the second master's departure, Wang Ba also sighed. Brother, I'm for your good. I'll just carry this unfortunate thing myself, and I won't drag my brothers into the water.

Nangong Mo took Wei Junmo to wander leisurely in the stockade. Because of the identity of the "new lady", the thieves in the stockade did not dare to disrespect them, as long as they did not go to any confidential places, they could go wherever they wanted. The leaders didn't say anything, where did they dare to say anything as soldiers? What's more, most people are still a little curious about these two. is a fairy-like girl, who was robbed by bandits to be the lady of the village, even if she doesn't look for death on the spot, she has to cry and cry. These two are very comfortable.

Nangong Mo also ignored the curious gazes cast around him, and pulled Wei Junmo to stroll in the cottage. He laughed in a low voice: "Speaking of which, this is the third time I've visited the bandit village." "The first time was when she first came to this world, and she was sold into a bandit village, and the second time was in Fuwang Mountain, Lingzhou. However, Jin Hao's territory is said to be a bandit village, and it is better to say that it is a village with dangerous terrain. The third time, of course, was this one. The first time was too unpresentable, and the second time the situation was special, but this time it was a real visit to the bandit village.

"We tried our best to find out the news of Beiyuan, but we didn't expect that these horse thieves have been entrenched here for so many years."

"It's going to take time." Wei Junmo said lightly. The appearance of the Northern Yuan people and the Central Plains people is too different, and it is definitely not easy to install spies. What's more, it has only been more than 20 years since the founding of the Great Xia People's Republic of China, and he is busy with his own internal affairs, where can he have so much effort to take care of the outside of the Guan?

Nangong Mo nodded, official and private actions have their own advantages, but they also have their own shortcomings. The Yan Wangfu wanted to install such a large force in the Northern Yuan Dynasty, but it was difficult not to attract the attention of the Northern Yuan Royal Court. After thinking about it, he leaned on Wei Junmo's shoulder and whispered: "This Wang Ba, it may be useful to stay in the future." ”

Wei Gongzi's eyes were indifferent and he didn't speak.

Nangong Mo didn't care, just pulled him and continued to walk forward. happened to meet the second master who came over. The second master paused and stepped forward, arching his hand and smiling: "I have seen the palace prince and the palace girl below." ”

Nangong Mo nodded and said with a smile: "This is Mr. Yes"

The second master said: "In Xia Xu Ren, he is the second master in the village." ”

Nangong Mo smiled: "It turned out to be the second master, fortunately." ”

"In the future, we will all be a family, and Miss Gong doesn't have to be polite. The two of them are new to the village, so it is better to take a look around the village. I still have something to do next, so I'll retire first. Xu Ren said with a smile. Nangong

Finish. Xu Ren said with a smile. Nangong Mo nodded, "The second master walks slowly." Seeing Xu Ren's figure disappear around the corner, Nangong Moxiu raised his eyebrows lightly, revealing a meaningful smile.

In the middle of the night, a dark shadow swept out of the stockade. The man in black was obviously familiar with this place, and soon reached the edge of a cliff behind the cottage. He pulled something out of his wide sleeve and threw it out. There were two soft gurgles, and the thing he threw out spread its wings and flew out, but it turned out to be a carrier pigeon.

In the darkness of the night, a satisfied smile tugged at the man in black's lips. Unfortunately, the smile froze before it could fully unfold, and the carrier pigeon that flew into the air suddenly fell straight down. Another figure swept through the air and grabbed the carrier pigeon in his hand.

The man in black stared vigilantly at the handsome man who suddenly appeared in front of him, and turned around to run back. But before she could move, she saw a woman wearing a pink Beiyuan costume on the side of the road behind her, leaning on the stone on the side of the road, looking at her with a smile. However, the jade hand that caressed the whip on his waist made people feel a chill in their hearts.

The man in black settled down, but decided to break through from this side. With a low roar, a hidden weapon in his hand was thrown towards the woman. He didn't want to kill, he just wanted to take advantage of the woman's dodge to escape from the hidden weapon.

Nangong Mo's laughter was particularly crisp and pleasant in the middle of the night, "Oops, is this the pinch of persimmons to pick soft?" "It's a pity that Miss Nangong has never been a soft persimmon.

The long whip was drawn from his waist with a brush, and he saw a few dark shadows dancing out of the long whip, and the brush brushed several hidden weapons to the ground. The black-clothed man who had already passed by Nangong Mo didn't have time to rejoice, and a cold wind hit behind him, which immediately scared him out of a cold sweat. The whip didn't slash at him, but wrapped around one of his feet. The whip had small barbs on it, and if you tried to break free, you would probably be pulled off a layer of skin. The man in black turned around and slashed at the whip with the knife in his hand, but unfortunately as soon as the whip was soft, he immediately cut it into the air. At this time, Nangong Mo had already arrived in front of him, raised his hand and knocked him out with a palm. He still wanted to get up, but he only heard a few swishing sounds, and several hidden weapons happened to be nailed down against him. Nail him to the ground.

"Two good guys." The man in black coughed lightly and stared at the pair of men and women in front of him.

Nangong Mo smiled and said: "Where, the palace master is a good skill, and the spies can be placed in the bandit village outside this pass." ”

The face of the man in black changed slightly, "I don't know what the girl is talking about." ”

Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows, "It's not interesting to play like this." Over there, Wei Junmo had already taken down the letter that the carrier pigeon was helping on his leg, looked at it and handed it to Nangong Mo. Nangong Mo looked down and was immediately happy, "Good eyesight." "There are a few words written on the letter: The owner of the village brought back a man and a woman, claiming to be surnamed Gong, with a mysterious identity, and suspected to be from Yanwangfu."

Seeing that he didn't speak, Nangong Mo was not reluctant, but just laughed loudly: "Lord Wangzhai, what do you think about this?" ”

Wang Ba walked over from the intersection, his face was a little gloomy, and he didn't know how long he had been standing there. Looking at the man in black on the ground, Wang Ba gritted his teeth and said, "Second master, Wang thinks he has no place to be sorry for you." ”

The man in black on the ground reluctantly pulled down the face towel on his face, it was Xu Ren, the second leader in the village. Xu Ren looked at Wang Ba and said in a deep voice: "I haven't done anything to live with the owner of the village. ”

Wang Ba snorted lightly, for people of their status, other people's spies and eyeliner themselves are the biggest betrayal. Because Xu Ren joined them with a purpose in the first place.

Xu Ren turned his head to look at Nangong Mo and the others, and said: Originally, there was still some uncertainty below, but now it is almost certain. It's Mr. Wei and Mrs., right? Planted in the hands of the two, it is not wronged. Nangong Mo sighed, "Gong Yuchen is really a master around him, and he can even put down such a powerful character in this small cottage." ”

Xu Ren joined the cottage only half a year ago, and he was able to climb to the position of the second master. If it is timed, it may not be possible to control the entire cottage, and kill Wang Ba in the air or simply kill it.

Xu Ren said: "Isn't it planted in the hands of the two?" I wonder what is causing the suspicions of the two of you? ”

Nangong Mo shook his head and said, "No, you didn't show any flaws. It's just that with your martial arts, where can't you go? It is unreasonable to be a second-in-command in this small cottage, not to mention that the people in the cottage don't seem to know much about the details of the second-in-command and the depth of martial arts. In addition, since we know that the palace lord is entrenched outside the gate, how can we not be careful everywhere? ”

Hearing this, Xu Ren could only sigh, "In this way, it is not my defeat." With that, he closed his eyes with a tilted face, and a wisp of blood came from his lips. Nangong Mo frowned, "The poison of the Water Pavilion is so powerful." "Not only is it powerful, but the people who want to use it are ruthless.

Wei Junmo didn't care, patted Nangong Mo and comforted: "This kind of person can't be kept, and he can't ask anything." ”

Nangong Mo nodded.

Wang Ba looked at the corpse on the ground, and the expression on his face was a little complicated.

Looking at his complicated expression, Nangong Mo also sighed, "Lord Wangzhai, I'm sorry." ”

Wang Ba smiled bitterly: "It's none of the two of you, if it weren't for the two of you, maybe in the future" He was able to build such a large bandit village outside the pass, and he was not completely brave and unscrupulous, so he naturally wouldn't think that Xu Ren came here to be a spy just to support the elderly. If he hadn't been discovered this time, he might have died one day. It's just that in the end, they are brothers who have been together for more than half a year, and this ending is really embarrassing.

Soon, Wang Ba cheered up again, waved his hand and said, "I don't know what the hell that palace master is?" You two are done with what you need to do, and you can leave. ”

Nangong Mo shrugged, not caring at all that he was disliked by the other party, and nodded: "We won't bother for too long." ”

"It was better to do so!" Wang Ba muttered in a low voice.

There are suddenly fewer cottages

Of course, it is a big deal that there is suddenly a second master in the village, but Wang Ba said that the second master went down the mountain to do errands. Everyone didn't ask too much, in the eyes of everyone, the second master is a scholar, and he is naturally different from them, and he usually doesn't like to get together with them. Occasionally disappearing, I only read a book in the room or go to do something the owner of the village ordered. Isn't the owner of the village going to get married?

Early the next morning, Wang Ba personally took Nangong Mo and the others down the mountain and went straight to the settlement of the Northern Yuan people two hundred miles away from Daqing Mountain.

In the evening of the same day, the three arrived at their destination. Wang Ba really didn't lie, there were no tents commonly used by the herdsmen of the Northern Yuan Dynasty here, but small but sturdy houses were built one by one. The houses are all made of earth and stone, which looks sturdy and cold, and although they are simple, they are indeed a large settlement. Although the area is not large, the number of people living in it is only a lot more than that of a small county in Kannai.

Under Wang Ba's construction, Nangong Mo put on a face towel commonly used by women in the Northern Yuan Dynasty to block the wind. After entering the town, the three of them didn't attract too much attention. This place is not only inhabited by the Northern Yuan people, but occasionally a few Central Plains merchants, Semu people, or some small tribes of non-Northern Yuan people in the vicinity will be seen. People bring their surplus to the place and exchange what they need with the people who live here.

Nangong Mo stood on the edge of a small stall with colored eyes, curiously playing with an exotic ornament that he picked up from the stall.

"Like?" Wei Junmo asked softly.

Nangong Mo nodded, "It's pretty good." ”

Wei Junmo stretched out his hand and threw a piece of gold to the stall owner, who immediately smiled, and also gave Nangong Mo a colorful scarf. Seeing Wang Ba's intuitive toothache on the side, two losers!

Seeing that it was dark all night, the three of them had to find a place to stay. There is a small inn at the end of the town. This is an inn run by the Northern Yuan people, and it is only small with four or five rooms behind the lobby. There are only four tables in the lobby, but that's enough for a place where outsiders rarely come all year round.

Wang Ba is obviously a frequent visitor here, and before he even entered the door, he shouted: "Shopkeeper, come to two rooms." ”

The shopkeeper was a man who was a little thin and short, not like a Beiyuan person, but looking at his appearance, he knew that he was indeed a Beiyuan person. Hearing the voice, he hurriedly greeted him, and said with a smile: "It's the prince, I'm sorry that there is only one room left in the shop today." ”

Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows with some curiosity, this shopkeeper is more like a Central Plains person than a Northern Yuan person, and the Central Plains dialect is more authentic than Wang Ba, who obviously has a northern accent, and it sounds like an accent in the Central Plains. Wang Ba's two sword eyebrows were raised, "No? ”

The shopkeeper smiled: "It's unfortunate that the prince came, we just came here yesterday and a few people stayed, and there is only one room left." ”

Nangong Mo thought about it, it shouldn't be Lu Qilin and his party, even if they went this way, they wouldn't be so fast. He asked, "We're only staying for one night, I wonder if the shopkeeper has any other rooms?" ”

The shopkeeper looked at the woman with a veil and only a pair of beautiful eyes, hesitated for a moment and said: "This also has a room for miscellaneous items, if the three of you don't dislike it" Wang Ba waved his hand impatiently and said: "Okay, okay, it's okay to live." Hurry up and pack it up. ”

"Yes, yes." The shopkeeper was overjoyed, it was quite difficult to wait for Wang Ba to come here several times before, but he didn't expect to be so easy to talk this time. After accepting the money thrown by Wang Ba, he invited the three of them to sit down and hurriedly went to clean up the residence.

There were no people in this small inn, so Nangong Mo and the three of them found a table at random. Wang Ba found the teapot and poured tea for the two of them, and said with a smile: "The conditions outside the customs are simple, forgive me." ”

Nangong Mo said with a smile: "It seems that the master of the Wang Village is very familiar with this side. ”

Wang Ba was a little embarrassed, "Where is it just to come over occasionally and buy something." "Of course he can't say, he occasionally comes here to fight tooth sacrifices or find a good friend or something. Fortunately, Nangong Mo didn't intend to get to the bottom of it, and calmly changed the topic and said with a smile: "I originally thought that the people outside the gate were living in tents." ”

Wang Ba smiled: "The girl doesn't know, but it is true." However, since those Northern Yuan people came back from the Central Plains, many people still like to have a fixed house to live in. This habit is estimated to be impossible to change in a few decades. This shopkeeper was moved back from the Central Plains that year. ”

"I see." Nangong Mo nodded and smiled.
