Chapter 27: The Red Man Around the Holy Lord
Hearing the sound, Yuan Hong quickly chased him out, but he didn't even find a figure. Shaking his head in disappointment, he walked into the house again, and his thoughts were hard for a long time: the guy who appeared on the roof didn't seem to have a simple footwork, and he appeared just when I asked for the clue to the token, so what was his origin? Is it the eyeliner planted by the Holy King, or the killer bought by the Gu family?
Seeing Yuan Hong's anxious look, Father Liang comforted: "Virtuous nephew don't need to panic. There has been a rat infestation in the house recently, and it may have been rats just now. ”
Yuan Hong smiled awkwardly and said, "I hope it's a rat tossing." Saying this, he was thinking in his heart: Although the most dangerous place is the safest place, but there is no constant reason in the world, I am afraid that the Gu family will do the opposite, it seems that Changyang City is no longer safe, I have to set off as soon as possible and go to Yong'an City, and as for Yun'er, she ...... Forget it, I can't take her through the muddy waters anymore.
packed his bags, Yuan Hong said goodbye to Liang Yun'er's father. Liang's father asked Yuan Hong to get a thousand taels of silver tickets, and gave him the book "The Art of Making Money" written by him. Yuan Hong accepted the gift book very respectfully, and for the hundreds of silver tickets, he only drew one of them, with a denomination of just ten taels, plus the remaining six taels of the silver tickets borrowed by Nangong Xu, in his opinion, it was enough to be entangled.
At this time, Liang's mother also came to express her heart. The things she gave away were high-quality speed suits and off-road boots, which were difficult to buy in the market in small towns, and even if they could, it would be delusional to want to buy them without ten taels of silver. In comparison, the ordinary off-road boots that Nangong Hui sold him in the academy were only two hundred yuan, and the price difference was far more than ten times. As the saying goes, you get what you pay for, and the preciousness of these gifts can be imagined.
Yuan Hong accepted all the gifts, full of gratitude, and said to the two seniors: "These ten taels of silver tickets, I borrowed from you, and I will definitely pay them back in the future." And for these gifts, count me as a great favor to you, and I will report it at the next day. Say goodbye today, I hope my uncle and aunt take good care!"
Liang's mother's eyes were mixed with tears, she caressed Yuan Hong's face, and squeezed out a few words from her voice with difficulty: "Child, I already know all your circumstances. When you go to Yong'an City this time, you must ensure your safety first. A big city is no better than a small city, there are high-ranking people everywhere, and even the housekeepers of the rich and noble families are also stunning, so you must not offend people easily. If you find your parents, don't blindly rescue them, it's best to report to the police. Remember, it must be good!"
At this time, Yuan Hong's eyes were already rosy, and that kind and warm feeling had left him for a long time, and he could feel that Liang's mother had completely regarded him as her own child.
"Dad, mother, take care, my daughter will be back soon. ”
The sudden goodbye interrupted Yuan Hong's mood, he pulled Liang Yun'er aside and dissuaded: "I have a murder case now, the good luck is unpredictable, I am afraid that self-protection will be a problem on the way to Yong'an, and you must not be allowed to risk together." ”
"But ......"
"No, but, this matter is not negotiable, my mind has been decided!" Before Liang Yun'er could finish speaking, Yuan Hong resolutely interrupted him. He knew very well that there must be no softening at this moment.
Seeing Liang Yun'er's unwilling expression, Liang's mother walked towards her and comforted her with kind words.
Yuan Hong originally planned to give Liang Yun'er something more, but he touched the pockets of his whole body and found nothing valuable or precious. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly pressed Liang Yun'er's ear and said softly: "If you miss me, put the silver bracelet I gave you in front of you." Seeing it is like seeing me. ”
"Don't worry, I'll always have it with me. Now, you see. Liang Yun'er lifted her long sleeves and showed her silver bracelet in the sun, smiling like a flower.
Gently scraping the bridge of Liang Yun'er's nose with his fingers, Yuan Hong smiled and said, "Little girl, take care of yourself and wait for me to come back." ”
Despite his reluctance, Yuan Hong finally packed his bags and walked towards the south main gate. At this moment, he was stopped by Liang's father. It turned out that the Liang family had a secret passage through the eastern city wall and moat. From here, the secret passage can be passed through the perfect way to avoid the inspection of the city gate guards. It seems that the movement of the roof also aroused the suspicion of Liang's father, and in order to protect Yuan Hong's thoughtfulness, he had to leak the top secret life passage at home.
With the light of the oil lamp in Liang Yun'er's hand, after winding around for half an hour, Yuan Hong finally saw the glow of the sun again. The exit of the secret passage is about a mile from the east gate of the city, which can be regarded as a safe area.
After saying goodbye, the exit mechanism of the secret passage was closed again, and Liang Yun'er's delicate face gradually disappeared from Yuan Hong's eyes.
Yuan Hong tore off his white beard and white wig, fell to the ground hard, and said secretly: Broken thing, your mission has finally been completed, but I still prefer the feeling of being young.
With a wry smile to himself, he continued north.
After walking about thirty miles, a post station suddenly appeared in Yuan Hong's field of vision. There are all kinds of beasts and animals in captivity in the post station, including cows, horses, mules, donkeys, as well as lions and tigers and golden beasts. When he thought of the triumph of the Xun family child riding on the lion tiger beast when he entered the city, he unconsciously felt itchy, so he spent five taels of silver to buy the largest lion and tiger beast among them.
Most people in the Changyang area know that the lion and tiger beast is the product of the combination of male lions and female tigers, and their size is obviously much larger than that of lions or tigers, and the one that Yuan Hong bought is even more so.
Unable to hold back his excitement, Yuan Hong took a leap, stepped on the stirrup, and took advantage of the situation to ride on the fat back of the beast. As he slapped the beast's buttocks, the liger roared like a lion and a tiger, and everything around it seemed to tremble.
With the soul-stirring roar and the sound of the wind retreating, Yuan Hong was like a pair of wings, and quickly swept over the grass and soil under him. He didn't expect that the speed of this beast was not only much faster than that of a horse, but even his Ling Feng steps were beyond his reach.
After galloping back and forth a few times, Yuan Hong grabbed the mane of the lion and tiger beast and pulled it back hard, trying to convey the command to stop. But the lion and tiger beast didn't seem to understand human feelings, and after being ripped off, it ran faster. It also turned its head and winked at Yuan Hong from time to time, looking like it was deliberately provoking, which made Yuan Hong angry.
At this moment, the post chief hurried over and shouted, "It's useless to just pull your mane, you still have to step on the stirrups with both feet." The more it doesn't cooperate, the harder you hold it until it is the outside and soft on the inside, which means that you have tamed it. ”
Yuan Hong did what the post chief said, and it worked. After assuming the prestige of the conqueror, he tied his mount to the barn, touched his rumbling belly, and entered the inn reception room.
"Man, serve me some dishes. Braised snake meat, fried tiger liver in sauce, as long as there are good dishes, they are served. Yuan Hong held his chin with the palm of his hand, and the fingers of his other hand kept tapping on the table, urging the post house guys.
"I'm sorry officer, we don't have snake meat and tiger liver here, if you want to talk about good dishes, only ant climbing vines and fish-flavored dragon claws. Hearing the call, a thin young man with a black mole came out of the inner room of the reception room. What impressed Yuan Hong was that there was still a long hair on the man's black mole. The whole sloppy image seems to make people lose half of their appetite.
"Okay, just ask for that ant and fish. Yuan Hong was so hungry that he couldn't stand it, so he had to reluctantly accept it.
Waiting for the guy to serve the dishes, Yuan Hong suddenly noticed that something was wrong, and said with wide eyes: "What did you just say about the names of these two dishes?"
The guy was afraid that Yuan Hong would not be able to hear clearly, so he said word by word: "Ant-ant-climbing-vine, fish-fragrance-dragon-claw." ”
Hearing this, Yuan Hong slapped the table hard and said angrily: "If you want to say that this ant doesn't have it, forget it, but what about your fish, what about the dragon?" ”
The guy smiled and said, "Guest officer, you misunderstood." It's not that just because the name of the dish has a certain word, it must have it. You see, there are no delicate beauties hidden in the canna, and there is no lion meat in the lion's head. ”
Although he felt that he had been pitted, Yuan Hong was so hungry that he could only fill in the Five Organs Temple first.
Seeing that the anger on Yuan Hong's face was still unsubsidy, the guy was holding the recipe and still smiling: "Since it is the first time that you have eaten these two dishes, and you are still eating them at this station, it means that we have a good fate, so let's give you a 20% discount." Of the original 100 yuan, you can give 80 yuan. ”
Eat and drink well, Yuan Hong wiped his mouth, took the recipe, took a look, and was about to take out the silver, when he suddenly remembered what Nangong Xu had said. According to him, the post station was a government-run rest place and a place to change mounts, and there was no need to give money for food and lodging at the post station.
In view of this, Yuan Hong smashed back the silver that had been pinched between his fingers, poked his head out and said: "It is said that eating, drinking and staying overnight in the post station are free, and your behavior of collecting money is completely unruly. ”
At this moment, the post chief walked in from outside, patted Yuan Hong's shoulder vigorously, and said with a gloomy face: "I learned to eat overlord meals at a young age! Just because you want to eat and drink for nothing, no way!" As he spoke, he spread his palms in front of Yuan Hong. Seeing that Yuan Hong didn't move for a long time, he applauded vigorously.
With applause, three big men rushed from outside the house and blocked the door of the house.
Yuan Hong looked at them carefully, and his intuition told him that the cultivation of these people was even more advanced than the eight big men encountered outside Yang An's Yongdao. If you go head-to-head with them, it's equivalent to hitting a stone with an egg.
Just when he was losing ground, suddenly, Yuan Hong's eyes flashed, and he said secretly: Didn't I just have a Holy Lord Decree on me, and I am willing to rely on it to get by.
So, coughing pretentiously, Yuan Hong said in a sonorous tone: "Just you guys, dogs look down on people! Don't you see what I'm holding in my hand?"
The post chief picked up the token, looked at it carefully, and then with a bright smile, he hugged his fist at Yuan Hong and said: "It turns out that Your Excellency is a red person next to the Holy Lord, you look at me, you don't know Mount Tai with eyes! ”
"! Master, my errand this time is a top secret, can I casually reveal my identity?" Yuan Hong glanced at the post chief, then sat down on the bench, cocked Erlang's legs, and kept shaking, full of style.
"That's not right!"
At this moment, a question suddenly popped up......
