Chapter 249: A Day of Delay
"Ouch, hey, you tap."
"This son, the little one hasn't touched you yet."
There is a building of jucai in the city of Yubo, and after the shadowless investigation, Yuanhang and others were brought here, and only when they arrived did they know that it was a pharmacy, which means that the medicinal materials are gathered here.
The injury was not light, and his right eye could no longer be opened, and the area around his eye was bruised. After reading it, Lang Zhong prescribed a pair of traditional Chinese medicine for external application and internal administration, and when he walked out of the Jucai Building, he had already become a one-eyed dragon.
It was nearly dusk, and everyone found an inn, and the one named the March Inn lived in. The proprietress is a master of amorous feelings, shaking her waist to greet her personally. If you want to say that this girl looks good, she just smeared too much rouge, and the choked voyage closed her other eye.
"A few guest officers, please stay inside, how many days are you going to stay?"
"Excuse me, we're only staying for one day." Fu Yashi nodded with a smile and walked to the counter.
"How can it be done one day, tomorrow Yibo will close the city for one day, and you can't leave if you want to." The proprietress twisted her buttocks, shook her chest and walked back to the counter, staring at Fu Yashi.
Yuanhang looked at the back and smiled in his heart, Fu Yashi is indeed a beautiful man, if he is not younger than him, he will never walk with him.
After hearing this, Fu Yashi's expression changed and asked, "Why is the city closed?" ”
The proprietress waved the sweat towel in her hand and said, "There are always a few days in this month now, and it is like a menstrual affair, and the city is closed for inspection. After speaking, he looked at it, and saw that Wuying was holding a single knife in his hand, and he pouted, and said, "Just like this little brother, I'm afraid I will be interrogated for a few days." ”
Fu Yashi turned around and looked at the voyage and said, "Young master, why don't we get out of the city as soon as possible, don't delay here." ”
The proprietress giggled, pointed to the door, and said, "Look at the sky, now the city gate is closed, and you can only live with me." ”
"Yes, the proprietress is so enthusiastic and takes such care of you, she should stay." Yuanhang smiled at Yashi and winked at his left eye.
"This ...... Okay, come to the three upper rooms. Fu Yashi smiled awkwardly, turned around and said.
Back in the room, Yuanhang said to Fu Yashi: "This inn is extraordinary, the proprietress didn't care about the menstrual matter in front of the strange man, if it wasn't a person in the wind and moon, there must be something strange in it." ”
Fu Yashi nodded and said, "Let's be careful, as long as we are out of the box, the investigation should not be so tight." ”
Yuanhang guessed correctly, the woman was the concubine of the leader of the garrison at the east gate of Yubo. After the Qi army occupied the city, the city was closed every ten days to check on suspicious people in the city. After the woman had consulted with the chief, she sent a message, and the leader came with a man to extort the silver and the two of them to make five.
When Yuanhang and the others entered the inn, the woman knew that she had come to wealth again. After setting them up, he sent his men to the east gate to report the news.
Yuanhang and the others had dinner and went to the city for a walk. It was warm and cold, and there were not many people in the city, and after a while, everyone rushed back to the inn.
As soon as the front foot entered the inn, a group of soldiers rushed in from behind, calling Yuanhang and the others to stop in the hall.
A leader walked around from behind in front of the voyage, and after looking at everyone, he asked sharply, "Who are you, where do you come from, and where are you going?" ”
Yuanhang listened to it familiarly, and said casually: "We are from the Eastern Tang Dynasty, and we are going to the West to learn scriptures......"
The leader turned his gaze to the voyage, and exclaimed, "Where are you madmen?" ”
"My son's surname is ......" Yuanhang became temperamental and said in a casual manner.
His words woke up Fu Yashi. Fu Yashi stepped forward and pulled the leader aside and whispered, "Don't you know who he is?" ”
The leader looked back, who could this one-eyed young man be?
Fu Yashi whispered: "This person is the grandson of the old general Sima of the dynasty, Sima Hang. ”
"What?" The leader's frightened voice changed. No one knows the name of Sima Jian, that is the first general of the Qi State, who is in charge of the thousands of soldiers and horses of the Qi State, and has the power of life and death.
"My young master came here this time to inspect the city defense for the old general, so don't make a noise." Fu Yashi was frightened, and the leader was a little panicked, and turned around to look at the voyage in disbelief.
Yuanhang didn't know what Fu Yashi was muttering to the leader, and when he saw that the leader was looking at him frequently, he deliberately raised his chin.
The leader changed his face, smiled and hugged his fist at Yuanhang, and said, "Childe, since you have arrived in Yubo, how can you live here." The subordinate camp is spacious and comfortable, and please go back to the camp with your subordinates. The leader thought to himself, first trick him into the camp and then identify him, if it is true, he will take care of him, and if it is false, he will be cut directly.
Yuanhang responded humming, not knowing whether to go or not. Looking over, Fu Yashi nodded lightly.
"Okay, I'll get my bags when I get back to my room." Yuanhang nodded and returned to the room with Fu Yashi.
"Just now you said the surname Fu, I have been to the court of Qi State, and I thought of General Sima Jian, a veteran general of Qi State, I think this little leader will not know too much, it is better to be deceived in the past." After Fu Yashi entered the house, he whispered to Yuanhang to discuss.
"But he told us to go with him to the barracks."
"It's okay, as long as you stabilize this person, you may be able to avoid tomorrow's interrogation."
"Makes sense, too." Yuanhang pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Then let him go, are you afraid that he won't succeed?" ”
The men followed the soldiers back to the camp, and the leader vacated his room and sailed in.
"Sima Gongzi, my subordinates have a reluctant request, I don't know if to say it or not." The leader accompanied the smiling face, and asked him to sit on the voyage, and he stood aside and bowed.
"You say, you say." Yuanhang said with a smile.
The leader said: "Sima Gongzi must have been entrusted by the old general when he came this time, and he didn't know if he could have a token to rely on, otherwise his subordinates would not be able to do anything." ”
Yuanhang stretched out his finger and pointed at the leader and smiled, the leader squinted his eyes and also looked at Yuanhang and smiled.
Yuanhang laughed and thought that where did he have a token, but he just carried his waist card with him. However, Fu Yashi said that he is just a small leader, and he may not know too much, so now, he can only lie to him.
"It is said that you are not qualified to see my waist card, but it is also good, and if you abide by your duties like this, I will definitely mention it to my grandfather in the future." After speaking, he took out the waist card of his second-grade boss from his arms and shook it in front of him.
The leader stared at him, and saw him take out a waist card, only to see the big characters in the middle, the second grade...... Before the rest could be seen, Yuanhang had already put the waist card back.
Second grade? This one-eyed man's official position is not low, it's just ...... There seems to be something wrong with this waist card, and I don't know where I don't know for a while.
"That, what's your last name?" Yuanhang yawned and asked in a loud voice.
"Eh, his subordinate is surnamed Yang, and he is the leader of the gate guard at the east gate of Qibo City." The leader did not dare to doubt, and replied respectfully.
Yuanhang rolled his eyes and nodded, "I want to return to Suzhou as soon as possible, since you are the leader of the gate, can you open the door tomorrow and let me go first?" ”
"Sima Gongzi, this subordinate really can't be the master, the closure of the city tomorrow is ordered by Wu Shoubei, if you want to let him go, you should tell him. Otherwise, subordinates ......"
"No, no." Yuanhang knew that he wanted to ask for the guard, and he could barely coax him, so if he changed the guard, he would naturally be recognized.
"I came in secret, to inspect the city defenses, how can I let the garrison know." Yuanhang pretended to be in deep thought, and said, "Well, I will stay in your camp for a day." ”
After this Yang leader went out, he was in a dilemma. I didn't dare to investigate deeply, and I didn't dare to slack off. I have the heart to tell the guard, but I am afraid that this is really Sima Gongzi secretly patrolling and convicting himself of leaking secrets. Thinking about it, I scolded in my heart: This dead girl, it's really unlucky to send me such a master.
On the second day, martial law was imposed throughout the city, and soldiers searched from house to house. Those who came from outside were to be registered, and those with weapons were escorted back to the camp and interrogated severely.
Yuanhang and the others had nothing to do in the East Gate camp, eating and drinking, but they couldn't get out of the city, and they wasted a day in vain.
In the early morning of the third day, the city gate had just been opened, and Yuanhang and the others went out of the east gate under the personal escort of the leader Yang.
"That, Leader Yang, this city is heavy, you are responsible for guarding the city gate, but you must guard it tightly, and don't let the spies of Liang Guo get in." Yuanhang turned around on the horse and looked up at the castle tower, and said earnestly.
Leader Yang hurriedly bowed down and hugged his fists under the horse, and said: "Sima Gongzi, please rest assured, his subordinates dare not relax, and I hope that Gongzi will go back and say a few good words for his subordinates, these rights will be entangled on the road of Gongzi." After speaking, he took a small package from the soldier behind him and handed it over.
"Naturally, you can wait here for good news with peace of mind." Yuanhang took the package with a smile, weighed the weight of it, and threw it to Ah Jin.
"My lord, why can't you see the city all the way?" Dao Zi shouted behind Yuanhang, pulling his neck. After a whole day's journey, only passing through a small village, Yuanhang and the others did not stop, originally wanted to rush to Yin Tiancheng to rest again, but who knew that it was dark and could not see the shadow of the city.
"How do I know, I haven't been to the Qi country." Yuanhang turned around and shouted, turned his head sideways to deal with Yashi and shouted: "Haven't you been to Qi Country?" ”
Fu Yashi was also tired and listless, and replied: "My lord, I went to the Qi country on the Kaizhou side, and I didn't take this road, how can I know." ”
"Hey, it looks like I'm going to sleep on the side of the road tonight." Yuanhang sighed, simply let Kuroko walk slowly, patted its neck, and said, "Go slowly, if you go fast, there is no place to live." ”
A few men let the horses walk slowly, and discussed where to rest. Ah Jin's eyes were sharp, and he found that there seemed to be a building in the distance on the left side of the official road, and pointed and shouted: "Look, my lord, there seems to be a house on that side." ”
The voyage has only one eye to see things, where can you see that far. He stopped his horse and asked, "But look carefully, if there is one, we will go and spend the night." ”
Wuying also stepped forward and said, "There is a house." ”
Yuanhang was just about to hit the horse, Fu Yashi shouted: "My lord, there is no one in front and behind, how can there be a house here, you need to be cautious." ”
"yes." Yuanhang replied and said to Wuying: "You and Dao Zi go to see first, and we will arrive later." ”
The two of them beat their horses first, and the voyage and others slowly advanced behind, turning left and going down the official road.
The more Dao Zi and the others walked in, the more they couldn't see the road clearly. The trees on both sides blocked out the hazy moonlight, and they could only grope their way through the light through the cracks in the branches.
"There's a fire." Wuying turned a corner along the path, saw a fire flickering in the house in front of him, and whispered Dao Zi, the two of them dismounted and quietly advanced.
"Damn, it's a dead cold day, the ghost place is still so remote, but you are not allowed to sleep." When they got closer, they realized that it was not a house, but a wooden shed improvised with wooden planks, with a fire in it, and it was definitely not a person in it.
There was a crackling sound, someone threw firewood into the fire, and another voice sounded, saying: "What's the use of nagging, keep watch until dawn, and they will come to replace us." ”
"Eh, you say, let's stay in this place where birds don't, what are you doing?"
"How do I know, hurry up and eat enough to rest."
Shadowless looked to the side and saw four horses tied to a tree on the left side of the wooden shed, judging that there should be at least four people inside.
The two of them quietly retreated, waited for a while not far away, and Yuanhang and others rushed over.
"Young master, there is a wooden shed in front of us, and there should be four people in it, and we didn't disturb them." Shadowless said.
"Don't worry about it so much, it's cold and the night is cold, let's talk about it overnight." Yuanhang tightened his collar, and without a shadow, several people walked towards the wooden shed.
As they approached the hut, the people inside heard the sound of horses' hooves outside, and the wooden door opened, and a head protruded from inside, shouting, "Who is coming?" ”
Yuanhang and the others dismounted, Ah Jin stepped forward, hugged his fists and said: "We miss the resting place, this wilderness has nowhere to stay, can you spend the night here, you have your own silver and two offers." ”
The man listened impatiently, waved his hand, and said, "This is not a place to rest, you should leave quickly." ”
"You are so unreasonable, this person has no place in the village and no store in the future, where do you let us go?" Dao Zi shouted across his neck behind him.
"Don't be verbose, provoke Lao Tzu and slaughter you." The man turned back to the shed and shouted, "Get the guy out." ”
Three people sprang out of the shed, holding a single knife in their hands, and one of them handed a single knife to the person outside the door.
"I don't want to embarrass you, it's okay to leave quickly, otherwise don't blame us for being polite." Several people held a single knife, took a step forward, and pulled the stance.
Yuanhang shook his head and said, "I wanted to discuss it well and give you some silver taels, but I didn't know that you were so ignorant. ”
As soon as Yuanhang's words fell, Dao Zi rushed out from behind. Ah Kim followed, and the two of them lunged at the four.
When the four saw each other move, they met each other with a group of knives. One of them kicked one of them with a single knife, and the single knife flew out and went straight to the other, and the frightened person stopped the attack and blocked the knife with a knife. Just blocked the single knife, Dao Zi had already arrived in front of him, grabbed his wrist holding the knife with one hand, shook it down, and the man knelt on the ground with a bang.
Ah Jin was there too, and after a few efforts, the two men were lying on the ground.
"Bring it in." When Yuanhang saw the fire, he hurried into the shed, and sat down to make a fire.
This shed is not big, and the four of them are fine. Now there are six people on the voyage, plus the original four, and ten people are squeezed into the shed, and there is almost no place to stand.
"Who are you? Why here? Yuanhang put his hand on the fire and sat down and looked up at the men.
"The heroes spare their lives, we are the defenders of Qibo City, and we are guarding here on the orders of the garrison adults." A few people were scared enough, this group of people had too high martial arts, and it ended before they started fighting.
"Waiting here? What are you waiting for? Yuanhang looked at the shed, and there was nothing in it, except a few bowls and a teapot, stacked in the corner.
"I really don't know about this little one, it's just that the above tells you not to let others approach here, and someone will come to change us tomorrow."
"Oh? Is there a constant guard here? Yuanhang sensed that there was something strange and continued to ask.
"Hmm." The man nodded in response.
Yuanhang looked at Fu Yashi, Fu Yashi nodded, and walked out with a shadowless meteor.
"I've wronged you first." Yuanhang let Dao Zi and Ah Jin trap the four of them and throw them in the corner.
After a while, Fu Yashi came back, shook his head at Yuanhang and said, "It's dark all around, and I haven't found anything." ”
Yuanhang nodded and said, "After a day's journey, let's rest first." ”
There were no beds in the shed, so they had to take out their clothes, surround them, and lean against the planks and squint their eyes.
After a while, Yuanhang fell asleep, and suddenly felt someone shaking himself, opened his eyes and saw several people standing up, Ah Jin squatted beside him, and whispered: "Young master, someone is coming, there are quite a few people." ”
"Ahh Yuanhang came to his senses and hurriedly ordered Dao Zi to take the four people out of the house, and the rest went to lead the horses and hid in the woods not far away.
