Chapter 464: Shelter from the Rain
It's also a little back, Mu Tian Wolf and others are about to arrive in Chengdu City, but the sky is not beautiful, and the rain is getting heavier and heavier.
On horseback, He Tianfang said: "Since we are all here, we are not in a hurry for a while, let's go to the tea stall in front of us to take shelter from the rain!" ”
Jing Yi glanced at He Tianfang and said, "You and Yu Ziqiu are also old acquaintances, do you plan to meet him like this?" And the Seven Tigers, he will recognize him as soon as you appear, isn't it a little embarrassing? ”
Pei Qihu said: "Brother Fengyan is saying let's wear masks?" ”
Before Jing Yi could speak, Mu Tian Wolf took the lead and said: "There's no need, anyway, a Wu Zicheng's identity can't deceive Yu Ziqiu." ”
When Zuo Youying heard this, he directly ripped off the disguise on his face, he was fed up with the days of pretending to be Wu Zicheng.
A few people came to the tea stall, intending to shelter from the rain, but the thatched tent was too small, and there were many passers-by, so after a while, the tea shed was full of urgency.
Because the Shepherd Wolf and the others didn't seem to be easy to mess with, the others tried their best to make room for the group, and in the end, the Shepherd Wolf and the others were surrounded by a group of passing people......
The people who were hiding from the rain also began to chat, and one of them asked the owner of the tea stall: "Boss, the recent disasters in Shuzhong by the Tubo people have not been done, you are in the suburbs of Chengdu, have you heard of any actions on the general's side?" ”
When the boss saw someone asking, he was also a stubble-loving person, so he replied: "This guest officer, although I have built a tea shed on the outskirts of Chengdu to earn some money to quench the thirst of passers-by, but what kind of actions does the general have, how can we people know?" Moreover, the general has not returned to Chengdu since he led his troops to defend against the Tibetans more than a month ago, so it is even more unlikely that I will hear the news......"
Listening to the boss's words, there was a sigh in the crowd, and someone said directly: "Alas, what kind of world is this, fighting every year, and it has never stopped...... Some time ago, I heard that the empire had destroyed Nan Chen, and I thought that I could finally have a few days of peace, but soon I heard the news of the general's rebellion......"
"But isn't it, we are in Shudi, and before we can catch our breath, we have been pushed to the forefront again!"
"But it doesn't seem to be that simple, it's strange everywhere! Since the general is a rebel, why hasn't he shown up all the time? And didn't the general also go to the side of the Tibetan Sacred Mountain to resist the invasion of the Tubos? I see, maybe some traitor and villain in the court framed the general! ”
……
Hearing that these people were idle, chatting with each other by hiding from the rain, Han Ponu on the side rarely spoke: "It seems that Yu Hualong's reputation in Shu is still quite high, and the people still support him." ”
Han Ponu and Yu Hualong were both imperial three-cavalry generals before, so seeing Yu Hualong being embraced by others, but he had been forgotten, Han Ponu probably felt a little emotional in his heart......
He Tianfang also admitted this, "After all, over the years, Shuzhong has been quite stable. Whether it was the Wuxi barbarians in the south or the Tubo people in the west, Yu Hualong repeatedly repelled them, allowing the people to live a peaceful life. Naturally, the people will support whoever can make them live a good life......"
But as soon as He Tianfang's voice fell, he heard someone say: "The hussar general was framed?" I see, not really! If General Yu didn't rebel, why did he hide in the Tubo Sacred Mountain and not come back? And now there are so many Tubo people who go to Shu to make waves everywhere? Perhaps, General Yu has already cooperated with the Tubo people......"
Jing Yi saw that as soon as He Tianfang finished speaking, someone stood up and slapped him in the face, and couldn't help but joke: "It seems that the people are not all blind people, but there are also people who understand people with this discerning eye......"
Before Jing Yi finished speaking, he heard another human: "The hussar general will cooperate with the Tubo people?" I think this brother must not have woken up yet, right? Who doesn't know that General Yu and the Tubo people are mortal enemies, and the Tubo people who died at the hands of General Yu Da are tens of thousands, how can they abandon their previous suspicions and come together?! ”
It seems that most people are still on Yu Hualong's side, but the owner of the tea stall is a little anxious, and hurriedly said: "I said that all the guest officials, shelter from the rain, you must not mention any more generals, Tubo people, what else is there to rebel or not, the villain, this tea stall can't stand your mouths......
When these people are finished, they will run away when the rain stops, but if these words get out, he, the owner of the tea stall, will be unlucky.
A strong man on the side, wearing an open undershirt, holding a wet coat in his hand and wringing water, seemed to have just run over to avoid the rain. This person listened to the boss's words and said, "Hehe, the boss doesn't have to worry, it's just a few gossip, who will take it seriously?" No one will be more serious with you! ”
But the boss glanced at the direction of the shepherd wolf with his eyes, and said in a low voice, "Don't you see? There are a few more soldiers there! ”
Only then did everyone react, and they were busy silent, and the few who spoke the most just now looked at Mu Tianwolf and the others, and were already thinking about whether they should run away in the rain now......
Jing Yi's mind was lively, and he hurriedly said: "Hey, don't misunderstand, we are not a military errand!" We are just some businessmen passing by, who want to go to Chengdu City to see the market. It's just that I heard that this Shuzhong has not been peaceful recently, and there are many Tubo people who are haunted and have killed countless people, so we have prepared armor and blades for self-defense! ”
But this kind of nonsense, the boss won't believe it, he opened a tea stall in the suburbs of Chengdu, and he has been for some years, what kind of person the other party is, he can see it at a glance! If these people like the shepherd wolf, where they are like businessmen, they are not military errands, then they must be bandits!
The boss thought about it, businessman? Some bandits will often claim to be businessmen, after all, they also need to step on plates or something.
Therefore, the boss boldly said: "Then I don't know what kind of business the guest officers do?" ”
Jing Yi pointed to the horses outside, and said: "Hey, those horses outside are the capital we use to do business, I want to exchange some colorful brocade in Chengdu, I heard that good horses are extremely scarce in Shu, and the colorful brocade in Shu is very famous, so we sold the good horses in the north to Shudi, and then took out the colorful brocade in Shu and sold it elsewhere." ”
Jing Yi didn't have any flaws in what he said, but their group of people is not a foot merchant at first glance! How can there be a foot trader with white skin and a lofty ......
Therefore, the boss felt more and more that this must be a gang of bandits who wanted to go to Chengdu City to step on the plate!
But Jing Yi still has the following here, and he continued: "I think many of you are businessmen, and you should all go to Chengdu City to find a way to make money, right?" It's just that now Shu is not very peaceful, and the gate of the city is strictly checked, I don't know if you can enter the city? ”
If Mu Tian Wolf and the others want to rescue the county lord, the biggest problem they face is that they can't blend into Chengdu City.
If they could sneak into the city, Yu Ziqiu would not be much of a threat to them, after all, almost every one of them was not weaker than Yu Ziqiu.
So Jing Yi wanted to see if there was any way to follow these foot merchants into Chengdu.
When the tea stall owner on the side heard this, he felt even more that Jing Yi and them were bandits, because serious businessmen would not worry about not being able to enter the city!
So, the boss said tentatively: "Since the guest officers are here to sell horses, it is better to directly ask the guards at the city gate to report to the young general!" Our major general loves horses the most, as long as you have a good horse, he will definitely buy it at a high price! ”
Jing Yi: "...... "I just wanted to avoid Yu Ziqiu and sneak into the city, if you let me go to Yu Ziqiu now, wouldn't that be self-defeating?!"
After a little embarrassment, Jing Yi said again: "Ahem...... We brothers don't want to deal with the people of the court, and if there is any dispute, it will definitely be us businessmen who will suffer! ”
The words make sense, but the tea stall owner has already determined in his heart that they are bandits!
So, the owner of the tea stall found an excuse and walked away, then found Xiao Er in his shop, and quietly arranged: "Xiao Liu, you go to the city to find Feng Zhutou now, just say that there is a group of Jiangyang thieves here, and they are planning to sneak into the city to step on it!" ”
When Xiao Liu heard this, he was dumbfounded, "Huh? Shopkeeper, do you mean they...... But it's still raining......"
The boss hurriedly said: "Go now!" It's too late! Remember, it's to find Feng Zhutou! ”
After speaking, the boss returned to his original position and said, "Everyone, later, there is not enough tea, I will ask Xiao Er to go to the city to buy some." ”
"Yo, such a heavy rain, boss, you don't feel sorry for your guys at all......"
Hearing someone say that he was unkind, the boss hurriedly said: "Hey, you can't say that, even if it's raining, business has to be done!" Besides, it's so unfortunate that so many guest officers are here today, so you can't have nothing, right? It's just raining, don't worry about ......"
Jing Yi felt that he had just found out how to enter the city, and the boss sent Xiao Er to the city, there must be something hidden in this......
Jing Yi was about to ask the boss, but was stopped by the shepherd wolf, "Your statement is too loophole, and this boss has seen through it, he should have sent Xiao Er to the city to report the news at this moment." ”
When Jing Yi heard this, he also agreed with Mu Tian Wolf's opinion, but he felt in his heart that this boss should be Yu Ziqiu's meticulous work, so he said to Mu Tian Wolf: "Could it be that this boss is also a scout sent by Yu Ziqiu to stare at passing pedestrians?" ”
The shepherd wolf looked at the boss and found that the boss was also looking at him at the moment, the two looked at each other, and the boss hurriedly dodged......
Only then did the shepherd wolf say: "It shouldn't be, if he is Yu Ziqiu's scout, the first time he sees us, he will let Xiao Er run to report the news, instead of talking to you for so long, he decided to let Xiao Er go to the city." ”
Yi Fengxing said: "Why are you so troublesome, anyway, we have no way back now, so it's better to ask him directly." ”
The shepherd wolf thought for a moment and nodded, "It's okay, anyway, there won't be a worse situation than now......
Then, Zuo Youying stepped forward, this kind of thing is usually done by him, so he is also very conscious.
Zuo Youying pushed aside the crowd, came to the boss, grabbed the clothes on the boss's chest, and said, "Come here, our boss has something to ask." ”
The boss is already scared stupid, is he exposed?!
"This ...... This uncle, what do you command, just say it, why bother...... Oh, the villain is born timid, so you can't see this ...... of dancing knives and guns."
The shepherd wolf was very direct, "You let that little two go into the city, who are you going to inform?" ”
When the boss heard this, he "chuckled" in his heart, it seems that he was really detected...... But the boss wouldn't admit it, so he insisted: "This master, you...... What are you talking about, little, little one doesn't understand! The little one just asked Xiao Liuzi to buy some tea, what notice ......"
With a "choking" sound, the shepherd wolf pulled out of the blood prison, and the boss's voice stopped abruptly, "There is more and more and more, there is no time and again, you only have one chance, who are you notifying when you let Xiao Er go to the city?" ”
The boss felt the killing intent on the shepherd wolf, and he didn't dare to prevaricate anymore, and said directly: "Uncle spare his life, it's a small mouthful, let the little sixth son go to the city to find Feng Zhutou, Feng Zhutou is the villain's cousin...... A few kings spare their lives! The little one is just confused for a while, taking advantage of the ...... While the official mission has not yet come, a few kings should run! ”
The shepherd wolf and the others were confused, what was going on? What Feng catches the head, what kind of official errand, why is it a little messy......
They never imagined that the owner of this tea stall would regard them as the king of the mountain who stepped down the mountain.
Therefore, the shepherd wolf had no choice but to ask, "Why did you send someone to call the official?" Why do we run? ”
When the boss heard this, shouldn't the people report to the officials when they saw the thief? When a thief sees an official, shouldn't he run away? What's there to ask about this......
Stunned for a moment, the boss said: "Could it be that the uncles are not the kings of the mountain?" ”
Now, the shepherd wolf completely understands that this boss actually regarded his party as bandits, and sent the shopkeeper to report to the official to arrest him, he is really a little clever ghost!
So, the shepherd wolf said, "Since this is the case, then ...... Rob! Give up all the silver that you have on your body. ”
