Chapter 302: Picking Up the Pace (17)

"Uh-huh....... Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" Xiao Liu nodded slightly, "What you just said has been written down below, don't worry, I won't go to the wrong place." Your letter will be delivered safely. ”

"Well, that's good." Xiao Long nodded lightly and replied.

"Then I'm going to deliver the letter......." Saying that, Xiao Liu turned around to go out, but before he stepped out of the threshold, he was stopped by Xiao Long, "Don't worry, you wait a moment before you go." ”

"Hmm......? Why is that? Xiao Liu explained.

"Liu Guard's ...... is actually like this." The shopkeeper explained, "Because you are just sending letters, you will go back and forth into the city twice in a while, if you go out of the city now, the guards will notice that something is wrong, and the guards who defend the city will not be on duty in a moment, and you will not care too much about these when you go out to guard at that time, and when you come back, the people who defend the city have also completed the shift, so when you went out of the city before, you will naturally lose any impression, so that you will not let the city guard find out at all when you go back and forth into the city, I don't know if you can understand if I explain it like this?" ”

"Oh...... So that's what happened? After Xiao Liu heard the explanation of the shopkeeper, he suddenly replied, "Then I understand, I really didn't expect this." It's me who was a little anxious and didn't think it through, I'm embarrassed, and I almost made a mistake. ”

"Oops...... That's not right...... Xiao Long said, "You haven't been here for a long time, and you don't know what the situation is here, so it's normal for you not to know these situations, so you don't have to apologize to us......." ”

"Uh-huh......." Xiao Liu nodded slightly. So he waited for a moment according to the shopkeeper's words, and then left the city. After watching Xiao Liu Shun go out of the city smoothly, Xiao Long said lightly: "The next thing is to depend on the review of the seventh child." If he passes, then I will naturally take this Liu guard in, if I can't pass, I can explain to Xiaoxue, and then I can say that it's not that I don't accept it, but that this Xiao Liu really can't accept it....... ”

"If Master Long tells the eldest lady like this, the eldest lady will really be happy?" The shopkeeper asked rhetorically, "According to the temper of the eldest lady, I'm afraid that your simple reply is not enough......." ”

"Is it enough to catch another seventh, it's always enough, right......?" Xiao Long said, "Anyway, this Xiaoxue still listens to Lao Qi, right?" As long as Lao Qi's reasons are sufficient, then he is not afraid of Xiaoxue's refutation. So as long as we throw this burden to the seventh child, he should know what to do. ”

"Hmm...... I hope that the Seventh Master can give this to the ...... for review. The shopkeeper echoed softly.

After leaving the city, Xiao Liu rode his horse and went straight to the destination that Xiao Long and they said. It didn't take long for Xiao Liu to come to the designated place, he looked at the farmhouse, but the building is similar to the house in Huhra City, the only difference is that there is a tea shop here, Xiao Liu looked at it for a while, I felt that I was afraid that I was going to the wrong place, so I walked forward again and saw that the front was basically deserted, so he turned back again, he walked to the front of the tea shop and hesitated for a while, then led the horse to the door, knocked on the door and said: "May I ask anyone......?" Is anyone ......? ”

After knocking for a while, the people inside answered: "It's coming, it's coming...... Saying that, a middle-aged and elderly man opened the door, then looked at Xiao Liu in a daze, and asked, "Are you here to collect money?" ”

Xiao Liu calmly replied: "No, I'm here to pay back." ”

“……。” When the man heard this, he didn't say anything more and directly invited Xiao Liu into the house and said, "Come on...... Give me something....... ”

"Uh-huh......." When Xiao Liu heard this, he couldn't help but hesitate a little, he was about to reach out to take out the letter, but he took his hand back, and then asked lightly, "I have a question that I don't know if I should talk about it...... or not." ”

“……。” The man looked at him and said, "What do you want to ask......?" ”

"I wonder if this is a tea shop or a common people's house in a general farmhouse?" Xiao Liu asked cautiously.

"What do you think?" The man replied calmly.

"I see a tea flag hanging outside you, and I'm a little worried about whether I'm going to the wrong door." Xiao Liu replied.

"There is only one farmhouse ...... mine in this hundred miles." The man replied without saying a word about the tea shop, "I really don't know if there is a second one like you want to ask, I've been here for more than ten years." I really don't know about the second farmhouse around our house, and I haven't seen ....... ”

“……。” After listening to the man's words, Xiao Liu looked at the man in front of him in a daze, and then said, "You...... Been here for more than a decade? Do you know where this leads north? Where does it lead to the south? How far away is it from each other? ”

"Little offspring, are you taking the old test?" The man replied lightly.

"I can't talk about it, I just want to ask ...... clearly." Xiao Liu said calmly.

"Well, let's think you're asking for directions...... The man replied, "This is the city of Huhra all the way to the south, and we have entered the border of the Central Plains if we go all the way to the north, and we are nearly four hundred miles away from the border of the Central Plains, and two hundred miles away from the border of the Central Plains. Little offspring, do you think you are going to the Central Plains or going to Huhra City after resting with this? And there is no second farmhouse in these two distances except ours, if you don't believe it, you can see it for yourself. ”

“……。” As soon as Xiao Liu heard his answer, he nodded lightly and said, "I'm not going anywhere, I'll stop here ...... you." ”

After speaking, he took out the envelope in his arms and said, "Old man...... This is something for you, I just offended ...... late life, and I also thought about it for the safety of sending the letter, because I saw the tea flag on your door before entering the door, and I was a little ...... hesitated, so ...... That's why there was the scene just now...... I hope you don't take it to heart. ”

The man calmly took the envelope, glanced at it lightly, although he didn't speak, Xiao Liu's sharp eyesight immediately understood it, and said: "Don't worry, old man, I haven't opened this letter, I put it in my arms after I got it, and then I sent it all the way without thinking about it, and I never hit any of the ideas ......of this letter." You have to believe me...... what I'm saying is true....... (To be continued.) )
