Volume 1 Crossing the rivers and lakes and wading into the temples Chapter 171 The old soldiers

The old soldier was shocked, if this was reported to the ears of the people of the Law Team, he would inevitably be severely punished. The old soldier frowned and said, "You can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense!" I really don't have it, so don't embarrass me, an old soldier. The words revealed the meaning of the senior veteran, and I hope that the inspector in front of him can look at the face of the soldier and not embarrass himself.

Ye Chen saw that there was really no way, so he took out another piece of broken silver and stuffed it into the old soldier's hand, and said with a smile: "You misunderstood, I just want to ask for a few glasses of wine, that's all!" ”

The old warrior saw that no one paid attention to the two tables next door, so he said, "Wait for these two tables to go upstairs!" ”

Ye Chen was stunned, thinking back that they had been with him for almost a year, time passed in a hurry, and it seemed that he had almost forgotten the nameless boy who had walked out of Nameless Town, and he felt a lot of emotion.

After Ye Chen gobbled up for a while, he notified Chen Bing and a few brothers who were on guard outside to take turns to eat some hot food, while he went out to guard by one.

Ye Chen got the answer he wanted to hear, so he went back. The table in the official post is larger, with a square table, and it is not a problem to sit two adult men on one side. So, six people sat at the table and enjoyed a hot meal. Zou Hu laughed while eating, Ye Chen didn't know why, and asked, "What do you want to do?" ”

Zou Hu looked satisfied and said: "This is a typical soldier cauldron dish, I haven't eaten it for a long time, it's fragrant!" ”

"Young people, what do you want to do so much, life is the most important thing in the world, living freely!" The old warrior took a hard puff of his cigarette. Looking at the iron cigarette stick, Ye Chen asked, "Dad, this thing is so choking, how can you suck it in?" ”

The old soldier said with a smile: "In the past, when I was fighting in the frontier, there were dead people everywhere, and it was cold, and the old brother would think blindly if he didn't have any work in his hands, and then I don't know who began to learn that group of Fanbang smoked this, at first there was no such tobacco, and the brothers picked up the dry leaves on the ground, and then they smoked and couldn't leave." Later, the conditions were good, and I could afford authentic tobacco, but I was the only one left of the elder brother. ”

At the door of the post station, Ye Chen, who was leaning on the doorpost, looked up at the sky, constantly recalling his experience in the past few months in his mind, ordinary people may not encounter so many things in their lives. At first, he saved Lin Yanyan by coincidence and replaced the Black Snake Gang, and got this opportunity to enter Huangfu Leng's field of vision and create the Anjiang Society, which not only destroyed Zhao Qingming's Blue Dragon Gang, but also accidentally ended the underground black market that Anli's secret spy Yan Er painstakingly operated, and several shops under his name also opened well. Along the way, I have tasted the ups and downs. has experienced the joys and sorrows of life and death brothers, has been exposed to hazy ambiguous emotions, has felt the suffocation on the edge of life and death, and has tasted the pleasure brought by power, but now he still feels that he is not walking on the road he should go.

Ye Chen, who was stunned, was pulled back to his thoughts by the sound of the collision between the cigarette stick and the sole of his shoe, and turned his head to find that the old martial artist was looking at him with a smile, and couldn't help but smile at each other.

The old warrior raised his eyelids slightly and smiled: "You ask, as long as it happens to us, there is basically nothing I don't know." ”

"There is a kind of ball ointment, a little rubbed on the cigarette stick and lit, the smoker will immediately become drunk and dreamy to death, and the words in his mouth are all good things that are unimaginable on a daily basis."

Watching the old warrior smoke one bite at a time, Ye Chen suddenly remembered something, which was also discovered by the few people who were spying on Sun Dacheng.

"Daddy, I'll ask you something." Ye Chen said.

"A few years ago, there was a group of merchants who claimed to be from the country of Yesang who came to China to trade, and there were many thieves of rare objects, and you can't imagine how amazing those objects were brought by them, and the most eye-catching thing was a thing called a cigarette ball. I still remember that no one dared to buy it at that time, but I couldn't stand it from others, as long as I liked to smoke two puffs, I heard that people who smoked this cigarette ball were always noisy to smoke, and it seemed to be addictive. But the small things are too expensive, ordinary people can't afford to buy them at all, and then I haven't heard anything about this cigarette ball, it is estimated that it is too expensive and no one buys it, and after a long time, no one will sell it. ”

"I guess it's not that no one sells it, it should be banned by the government, and the government has never advocated things that bring harm to the people." Ye Chen explained.

The old soldier raised his head suspiciously and looked at the young descendant, and asked meaningfully, "Where did you see this thing?" ”

Ye Chen smiled and didn't answer him, but continued to ask the old martial artist about the origin of this thing.

According to the usual practice, 50 soldiers were stationed in every five official posts to prevent emergency military information from being maliciously intercepted by enemy spies. Ye Chen retracted his gaze and began to think about the next arrangements in his heart. These people are obviously not ordinary people, and those who can live in the official post are all related to the affairs of the imperial court, but for some reason, Ye Chen always felt that something was wrong, and he couldn't think of it for a while.

"Daddy, who are these people?"

The old soldier nodded thoughtfully, turned his head to look at the hall of the inn, seemed puzzled, and said: "It's strange, those two tables have already ordered two dishes, and they haven't eaten, so they are sitting in a daze." ”

At first, Ye Chen didn't care when he heard this, but when he turned his head to look at the two tables, he suddenly had an ominous premonition, four or five big men ordered two dishes and only occasionally moved their chopsticks, more like they were waiting for someone, and from time to time there were people staring at the people at the table of the mission who were eating.

Ye Chen turned his head and whispered to the charm beside him, "Find a chance to touch into their room and see if there is anything wrong." ”

One of the diners quickly returned to the room at the signal of a middle-aged man, while the other diner ordered two dishes.

The old martial artist glanced at Ye Chen and said, "I told you when you came, don't ask blindly if you shouldn't ask, even if Qin Xiaoqin comes." ”

Ye Chen nodded and walked back to the second floor of the inn, but did not enter the room, but stayed on the corridor overlooking the entire hall. Soon Ye Chen noticed that something was wrong, and some diners downstairs began to look up at the second floor from time to time, as if they were on guard against something.

After a stick of incense, Mei quietly came to Ye Chen's side and reported in a low voice: "There is no outfit in the room of the person at the table downstairs, and there is no vision, like the style of the border army." Before the other table could get in, the people had already gone back. ”

Ye Chen thought that he was probably thinking too much, but the man on horseback in the afternoon was really suspicious, especially in the eyes that were opposite to him, which made Ye Chen see a little cruel look.

"They probably just arrived, and there are no traces of the teacups on the table in the room or the quilt on the bed." Mei said casually.

Ye Chen didn't care at first, but the moment he turned his head and entered the grocery room, he suddenly thought of what the old martial artist said inadvertently, a group of people came in with a heavy box, and another group of people only brought a few baggage. And Mei didn't find anything, this is obviously not a normal thing, Ye Chen thought of this, and walked into the grocery room silently.
