Chapter 406: And the Tail
It is said that this night, Ono and the other three devils have been thinking about the old store of Zhouji.
They lie on the roof, watching every grass and tree in the store, every move. The shop was quiet, except for the few bodyguards who took turns walking around the yard.
Ono, they are not sure if this fall is a high-ranking official of the Eighth Road, and they don't want to expose themselves yet.
In addition, shooting from a distance, they were not sure of the high-ranking official's room, let alone the location of his bed.
If they rush down and work hard, they are not sure of victory. I didn't want to lose myself, and I let the high-ranking officials of the Eighth Road run away.
The smartest way is to bite him to find out his identity, and then inform the Black Dragon that he will mobilize more power to kill them.
A few devils guarded the old store of Zhou Ji all night.
The next morning, the men got up early, washed up, and went to the front store for breakfast. After breakfast, I hurried out of the store.
Ono said to Inoue and Takeda, "You two follow them to see if they are real businessmen." I'm scouting here to see if there are any new outsiders. ”
Inoue and Takeda followed the merchant from a distance. The group walked and chatted, entered a village, and shouted something.
The more Inoue and Takeda followed, the more confused they became, could this be a high-ranking official of the Eighth Road? The high-ranking officials of the Eighth Route should be trying to get there, why are they wandering around the village?
I saw the group stop at the door of a house and talk to a few people. Someone took out a piece of leather from the house, and the man who looked like a rich merchant took the skin in his hand and looked at it repeatedly.
Then it's all about haggling out loud. After talking about the price for half a day, the business was not done. The men left the village, said something loudly, and walked towards another village.
In this village, there is still no business. Go to the third village. After arguing for most of the day, I finally bought a dog skin. Then I walked to the next village.
Could it be that these people are really fur dealers? Inoue and Takeda were stunned, if this group of people were really ordinary leather merchants, wouldn't the three of them have been busy for two days and one night?
It was almost dawn, and the group had no intention of leaving, and were still wandering around the villages unhurriedly, watching the goods and negotiating.
Inoue said, "Let's go, it's a bit silly to follow any longer." ”
Takeda scolded a swear word. Only then did the two stop following and turn around and rush to East Taiping Town.
The team members, disguised as furriers, laughed happily when they saw the two ghosts go away in despair.
Look at the sun, it's almost dark, a few hours have passed, Boss Jiang has already rushed to West Taiping Town under the escort of the team, and was picked up by the escort at the next stop, right?
Several people mentioned light work and also returned to East Taiping Town. According to the order, they were to monitor the movements of the devils in East Taiping Town.
Let's say that Ono arranged for Inoue and Takeda to follow the group of businessmen, and he walked around the town by himself, running to see the old store of Zhou Ji for a while, and going to see the Taiping Inn for a while.
I didn't find any suspicious people or anything.
Ono thought that if the businessman-looking people were not high-ranking officials of the Eighth Road, it meant that they did not arrive in East Taiping Town yesterday. Maybe it's somewhere else, maybe it's just today.
Suddenly, the sound of drums came from the north of the town, and Ono hurriedly ran to watch, and it turned out to be a group of greeting relatives, blowing and beating to the northwest.
Ono couldn't help but think that it would be good to cover the transit in this way. But are these guys really eight-way outfits? He wasn't sure. I had the intention to shoot two shots halfway to try it, but I felt that it was inappropriate.
There are two kinds of results of shooting, if this is a procession of ordinary people to greet relatives. After firing the gun, he must have been frightened and scattered, so he exposed himself and gained nothing.
If it is an escort team dressed up in Eight Roads, once they are exposed, there are so many people in Eight Roads, they will not spare themselves, and they will definitely die.
It's not okay to shoot, that sentence is honest and follow. Anyway, there is nothing suspicious about East Taiping Town. Only this greeting procession is a little suspicious.
The welcoming procession left the town and headed straight to the northwest, which was the direction of the West Taiping Town. West Taiping Town is a gray area, and it is still cunning and cunning where to cross the border from the Eighth Route arrangement.
Ono was even more convinced that his judgment was correct. You see the bridegroom riding on a little donkey, skinny, maybe a monkey.
Ono hadn't seen a monkey, but he had seen a portrait of a monkey. The more you look at it, the more it looks like a monkey. Looking at the strong men carrying the sedan chair, it seems that they are not ordinary croppers, they must be the bodyguards of the high-ranking officials.
Perhaps, the high-ranking official will be sitting in a sedan chair. It's not going to let him run away
Ono analyzes left and right, and the more he analyzes, the more he feels that his judgment is correct. So he confidently followed the group of relatives and came to the west of Taiping Town.
Twenty miles of road, more than two hours to reach West Taiping Town. But the procession did not stop in the town, but continued through the town.
Five miles away from West Taiping Town, there was a village, and the team of greeting relatives went straight to that village. Ono followed up on that village, and couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart, what stupid thing am I doing?
There was a family in that village that was doing a happy event, it was a big family, and there were many people busy with lights inside and out. As soon as the welcoming team arrived, they "crackled" and put down the sedan whip.
The group put down the sedan chair and was ushered into the house.
It turned out that this was a real greeting team, and Ono actually followed behind for more than twenty miles. Ono couldn't wait to smack himself a few times.
It's no fun, let's go back, go back to East Taiping Town to find Inoue and Takeda, and I don't know what the result of their tracking is.
This village is five miles away from West Taiping Town, and when he was halfway there, Ono suddenly felt anxious, and saw a forest on the side of the road, so he ran in to relax. As soon as he took off his pants and squatted down, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Less than three hundred meters north of the woods, a few people walking west stopped and shook hands with each other in farewell.
Do country farmers have the habit of shaking hands? I, Ono, didn't run these twenty miles in vain. I'm going to follow you.
That's right, these people are the bosses of Shoujiang.
This morning, it was reported that two of the three devils had followed a member of the team dressed as a fur merchant. There was only one person left in town.
It can be concluded that these three devils did not find them, but regarded those team members as the target of key investigation.
Fan Jiang immediately made a decision, and immediately escorted the boss of Shoujiang to leave East Taiping Town, and rushed to West Taiping Town to connect with the comrades escorted in the next section.
Under the interference of the team members, they avoided Ono's surveillance, and the group left the Taiping Inn, all the way safely, and successfully arrived in West Taiping Town, successfully contacting the comrades escorted at the next stop.
Boss Changjiang gave affirmation and praise to their escort work.
According to the agreement, Fan Jiang and several members of the monkey team were sent out of the town for a few miles, and it was determined that there was no tail, so that the final handover was successful.
At this time, the boss of Shoujiang stood down and shook hands with everyone again. Then he went away with the comrades escorted by the next paragraph.
Fan Jiang breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Our task has finally been successfully completed. ”
The monkey said, "Brother Fan, it's not done yet, we still have a tail that hasn't been cut off"10
