176. [176] The Plan to Save Lives
Later, Ziyi learned that the coast of Baicheng had close business contacts with those countries on the other side of the coast.
Therefore, the people of Baicheng are more affluent and more open-minded than other places.
There was no rush to put out the night fire, and the three of them found an inn that looked very high-end and lived in it.
Taking advantage of the silver pupil to go out to inquire about the news, Ziyi and Duanmu Xun washed up and went to the street.
This time, the two of them came out in a hurry, and they didn't bring any clothes that could be changed at all. And there are many novel gadgets that can't be seen in the capital in this white city, so Ziyi simply settled down and took Duanmu Xun out to shop. Right this time is to come out and relax.
Even in the evening, this white city is still very lively, and the snacks on the roadside are endless, and the fragrance makes people drool.
Ziyi pulled Duanmu Kaoru to do it in front of a small stall, touched his hungry stomach, and asked Xiao Er to serve two bowls of chaos.
Duanmu Xun had never eaten on these streets, watching Xiao Er's dirty hands descend the chaos into the pot, he frowned unconsciously, and pulled Ziyi and said, "If we are hungry, we can go back to the inn, or a nearby restaurant, why be here-"
"You don't understand this!" Ziyi hooked the corners of his lips, "You are a pampered young master, you have always ordered others to do everything!" You know, if you want to know something, this kind of street is a great place to gather information! ”
Ziyi's voice was very small, and only Duanmu Kaoru could hear it.
Duanmu Kaoru frowned slightly, and even understood the meaning of Ziyi's words.
Xiao Er quickly brought the chaos up, and the white chaos was steaming hot, and the fragrance was fragrant.
Ziyi took out the chopsticks on the table, picked up the chaos and was about to send it to his mouth, but was stopped by Duanmu Xun.
"If you want to find out information, there is no need to really eat it - the things here are not clean, be careful of bad stomach."
Ziyi discovered the temper of the "young master" on Duanmu Xun's body for the first time, and felt a little annoyed, handed the chopsticks to Duanmu Xun's mouth, and shouted angrily: "Open your mouth!" ”
Duanmu Kaoru was still frowning, looking at the white and chubby little wonton in front of him, and then at the angry face of Ziyi, and barely opened his mouth.
The mind swept over Xiao Er's dirty hand just now, and this wonton didn't taste good in his mouth.
"It's really delicious." Ziyi saw that Duanmu Kaoru was not very happy to eat, so he sighed after all, and he was no longer reluctant, and ate what was in his mouth by himself.
"Hey, have you heard, the thief caught by Gu Yuan's family is said to be pulled out for a parade tomorrow."
"Is that the man who cheated on the concubine outside the Gu Yuan?"
"Yes! I heard that this man seems to have some ability, and it took a lot of effort when the county lord caught him! ”
The discussion between the two men at the adjacent table reached the ears of Ziyi and Duanmu Kaoru.
The two looked up at each other, and guessed that the two men must be talking about night fire.
Without making a sound, the two men continued to pay attention to the words of the two men at the next table.
"Tsk, what an unlucky man, he dares to touch this woman outside the staff - I think, he really doesn't even want his life!"
The two men at the next table were dressed as porters at the docks, and the one who spoke at this time was one of the men who looked a little thief-eyed.
"How?"
The man who answered the question looked like he had just arrived here, and his accent sounded a little outsider.
"Let me tell you, you haven't been here for a long time, you may not know that this Gu is famous in this White City! He is not only rich, the prefect, but also his own uncle! None of the people in the entire White City dared to provoke him, and most of his concubines were robbed by means! The thief-eyed man deliberately lowered his voice, and the thief looked around, for fear that these words would be heard by others.
It's just that, even so, these words were clearly heard by Ziyi and Duanmu Xun, two people who practice martial arts.
"I've heard a little about this, you say-what will this guy do with this kid?"
"Hehe, I just know a buddy who works as an errand in the government! I heard that after tomorrow's parade, this official lord will hand over people to this Gu Yuan to deal with! I heard that this Gu Yuanwai has declared to the outside world that he wants to cut off this man's life! ”
After the thief-eyed man finished speaking, he unconsciously tightened his legs, as if it was himself who was going to be chopped off.
"Tsk, that's pathetic, boss, check out!"
The two men seemed to have finished eating, and after settling the bill, they left with a big grin.
Ziyi looked at Duanmu Kaoru, who was sitting on the side and seemed to be thinking about something, and saw that the wontons in his bowl didn't move, and he was still a little angry.
The emperor is indeed the emperor - sometimes there is still the temper of the emperor.
Settled the account with a muffled hum, Ziyi didn't care about Duanmu Kaoru, stood up alone, and walked in the direction of the inn.
Duanmu Xun looked at the back of Ziyi leaving, sighed helplessly, followed Ziyi, and walked towards the inn.
When he returned to the inn, Yintong had not returned, and Ziyi didn't say a word, sitting at the table alone.
"Purple." Duanmu Kaoru tried to call Ziyi's name, but was glared back by Ziyi's eyes.
"It's not that I don't eat it, it's just that those things are not clean, and I'm afraid that eating them will hurt my body." Duanmu Kaoru helplessly explained that this kind of thing that may harm the body does not need to be done when it is not necessary.
"Hmph, what's not clean! Don't you see so many people sitting there eating? Why didn't people say that it was not clean! I think you're the emperor's stinking shelf! If you don't like it, go back to your palace! These are the things that your people eat every day, and they are not as good as those in the palace! Ziyi was angry for a while, and he didn't care about what he said.
In fact, this matter is not very strict, but the purple clothes are just not very happy.
Maybe that's the reason for the visit.
"Ziyi-" Duanmu Kaoru frowned, and gently grabbed Ziyi's hand, but was slapped away by Ziyi: "Don't touch me!" ”
"Silly girl, can't I eat next time?" Duanmu Xun had never seen such a purple cloth, and even a little unreasonable, but he only said that the purple clothes were not in a good mood, and patiently coaxed.
"Next time? Scold! Kill me and I'll never eat with you again! The more Ziyi thought about it, the more angry he became, and after he simply said this, he didn't say a word more, just sat at the table, waiting for Yintong to come back.
And when the silver pupil came back, what he saw were two people in the cold war.
"What's wrong with you?" Scratching his head in confusion, the silver pupil opened his mouth to ask, but neither of them spoke.
Duanmu Kaoru stretched out his finger and pointed at Ziyi, shrugged his shoulders, and signaled that he had nothing to do to coax this woman.
"Did you inquire about anything?" Ziyi glared at Duanmu Xun, got up and walked to Yintong's side, pressed Yintong down, looked at Duanmu Xun provocatively, and said, "Sit down and rest for a while, I'm tired, I'll ask Xiao Er to serve you food!" ”
Before Yintong could say anything, Ziyi walked out of the door.
"What's wrong with you?" The silver pupil shrunk her neck, always feeling that the purple clothes at this time were weird.
In retrospect, he didn't seem to do anything to be sorry for her—so she probably wouldn't have poisoned the dish.
"Nothing, how's it going, is there any news?" Kaoru Duanmu was speechless.
It was really the first time he had seen Ziyi so petty, and this feeling was completely different from the usual Ziyi.
"Uh-"
Before Yintong could speak, there was a sudden loud "bang" outside the door, Duanmu Kaoru frowned, and suddenly bounced up from the stool and pushed the door open.
Sure enough, Ziyi was sitting on the ground, holding his stomach with his little hands.
"Ziyi, what's wrong?" Duanmu Xun picked up Ziyi, and when he saw Ziyi's wrinkled little face, he couldn't help but feel anxious.
"My stomach hurts-" Ziyi gritted her teeth and spit out a few words from her mouth with difficulty: "I want to-go to the toilet!" ”
The corners of Duanmu Kaoru's eyes twitched, his fingers caught Ziyi's pulse, and he was sure that Ziyi had just eaten something bad and was fine, so he tiptoed a little and carried Ziyi to the toilet.
Outside the latrine, Duanmu Kaoru stood five meters away from the latrine, the smell in the air was very bad, and a series of indecent sounds would come from the latrine from time to time.
Ziyi squatted in the latrine, just eager to bite off his tongue!
In my heart, I have scolded the eighteen generations of the ancestors of the vendors who sold wontons!
When he walked out of the toilet, Ziyi's whole person was about to go limp, and when he saw Duanmu Xun stepping forward, he couldn't help but blush, and said softly: "You've been outside?" ”
"Yes." Duanmu Kaoru looked at the little woman in front of him with a smile, seeing if she would dare to eat indiscriminately in the future.
"You don't scold me?" Ziyi pursed her lips.
"Why should I scold you?" Feeling the weakness of Ziyi's legs, Duanmu Xun simply picked up Ziyi's waist.
"I-" Ziyi hesitated, lowered her little head, and snuggled up to Duanmu Kaoru's chest.
"Silly girl. The food we eat on weekdays is different from these people, and our bodies are naturally more delicate. The peddler's hands were dirty, and there was a strange smell in the filling of the wontons on the side, but I was afraid that the peddler had mixed the bad meat with the good meat. Those who go to eat regularly are okay because their bodies have long been accustomed to these street things. Gently pressed the forehead of the purple cloth with his forehead, Duanmu Xun said softly: "Does your stomach still hurt?" ”
Looking at Duanmu Kaoru's caring appearance, and thinking about his willful appearance just now, the little face in purple clothes turned red again, and tears lingered in his eyes.
"It doesn't hurt anymore."
"Let's go, I'll take you back and let Xiao Er bring you some hot water. Good thing you didn't eat much. Did you just fall somewhere? ”
"Nope."
Ziyi simply buried her head in front of Duanmu Kaoru's chest, not wanting Duanmu Kaoru to see her unassailable tears.
It's rare to be willful for once.
It turned out that he was unlucky!
Ziyi swore that she would never eat a roadside stall again in her life.
When the two of them returned to the room, Silver Hitomi had already ordered a table of dishes.
As soon as he went to the thatched house, Ziyi's stomach couldn't help but "grunt" and "grunt" in protest.
Duanmu Kaoru smiled helplessly, put Ziyi on the chair, ordered Xiao Er to serve hot water, and served a bowl of hot soup for Ziyi.
The news that the silver pupils found was more accurate than they had heard.
It is true that the prefect is indeed the uncle of the Gu Yuanwai, but after tomorrow's parade, he will not hand over the person to the Gu Yuanwai, but directly to the "master".
And Yintong inquired again, this master's name is Gao Yu, and he only knows that he is not from this Luo Dui Dynasty, but the others can't be inquired about at all.
"If this Gao Yu wants a night fire, it will definitely not be simple! He must have known that Nightfire is not a simple person - it's just, how can we get rid of Nightfire? Ziyi drank the soup in the bowl, looked at the silver pupil and asked.
It is obviously not a wise choice to hijack the prisoner's car, and when the time comes, they will be in the light, and the high will be in the dark. I'm afraid that they will accidentally fall into an ambush.
The Gao Yu Ziyi and Duanmu Xun didn't know about it, but they vaguely learned from the silver pupil that this Gao Yu seemed to have a kind of treasure that could make people unable to use their abilities for a while.
Not even martial arts.
So the three of them can't act rashly.
This Baicheng is not in the sphere of influence of the Wuhua Palace, so naturally there are no people from the Wuhua Palace who can help at this time.
"Silver Pupil, what about your invisibility technique?" Ziyi suddenly remembered the skill that silver pupils can make people's bodies disappear and not be discovered by others, and asked suspiciously.
If Yintong used stealth techniques, then there was no need to run back to the capital to ask them for help, he could have sneaked into the prison invisibly, secretly hid the night fire, and the two of them left.
"Oh, how can it be so easy! That's what I thought of right away! But I don't know what method that guy used to break my stealth technique! ”
When Silver Pupil talked about this, she was a little depressed.
He met his nemesis for the first time!
That Gao Yu seems to have been born to be his nemesis!
He tried all kinds of methods, not only did it work, but even he himself was almost trapped by this master!
"So powerful?" Ziyi raised her eyebrows and said, "Then it's useless for you to call us here." ”
"How could it be useless! Three people are better than one! That's what I thought—"
Silver Hitomi waved at Ziyi and Duanmu Kaoru, signaling the two of them to get closer to him.
The three of them muttered together, then each looked at each other and nodded.
After the meal, Xiao Er was asked to remove the table, and the three of them climbed into bed early, just waiting for tomorrow to come.
Early the next morning, the three of them left the inn.
There were already a lot of people on the street, and everyone wanted to see what this man who dared to touch the women outside the staff looked like.
Inside the huge cage, Night Fire sat in the cage with his head down.
Such a humiliating thing, it was the first time in his life!
But this kind of thing, once - enough is enough.
