The situation is further complicated by the emergence of Poe. He is from the southern capital, and he must have come here with a special mission.

Judging from the situation that Wang Chong has mastered, there are more than three people who are eyeing the statue of the Heavenly King. And if the statue of the king fell into whose hands it was today, Wang Chong couldn't make a mistake.

Wang Chong and the others walked all the way, and the number of pedestrians on the street gradually increased. Jingying had fallen asleep on Wang Chong's body, but was awakened by the noise of the crowd.

Jingying rubbed her misty eyes with her hand and said unhappily, "Dad." When will we get there? I'm sleepy! ”

Wang Chong was most distressed by Jingying. Seeing that she was very tired, I felt that I would find a place to rest first. Wang Chong looked ahead, and not far ahead, he saw a tavern with a signboard hanging out.

The street they were on was not the main street. In addition, it belongs to the northern city and is inhabited by some ordinary people, so there are few luxurious shops here.

The façade of this tavern is small. It is a two-story building facing the street. The signboard reads Cheung Kee Tavern.

It was morning, and no one was drinking at this time. This tavern doubles as a breakfast business.

Wang Chong and the others walked into the Zhang Ji Tavern, where a fat black middle-aged man was entertaining guests. As soon as he saw Wang Chong and a few people, he beckoned: "Guest officer, please." Craving something? ”

Wang Chong saw two long tables in the storefront. The long table is flanked by wooden benches. It looks like the conditions are very rudimentary. They came early and there were no other customers in the store.

The fat black man saw that Wang Chong and the others were not regular customers, and said, "How many of you are here for the first time?" I have buns, fritters, steamed buns, and fire here. We're cheap and affordable. ”

Wang Chong saw that the four children were very hungry, so he said to the fat black man, "We want to rest here with you." Just watch and get us something to eat. ”

The fat black man didn't say much, and brought them some food. After everyone sat down, no one put a bowl of rice porridge in front of them. Before you eat it, you can smell the aroma of rice porridge.

Several of the children were hungry and they devoured them. Wang Chong waited until the fat black man brought their respective pasta, and then asked him, "Boss." Is there a place to stay near here? ”

The fat black man smiled: "Does the guest officer want to rest?" I've got a place here. The second floor is where my family and I live, and you can rest here. Just give some money. ”

Wang Chong thought that it was safer to rest here, and no one would have thought that they would settle in such an inconspicuous place. So Wang Chong took out hardware for food and accommodation.

After breakfast, the fat black man led everyone upstairs. The second floor is small in size and is divided into several rooms. Among them, the black fat boss and his wife live in one room, and his two children live in one room. There are also two rooms that are empty.

The black fat boss's family lives on this tavern. His wife and children are employees in the tavern. Because they have to get up early to prepare the stone for the day, they are all busy on the first floor.

There was no one on the second floor, so the fat boss let Wang Chong and the others rest casually. The children were very tired, so they slept in the boss's children's room, and Wang Chonghe and the others were not sleepy while walking, so they talked in the next room.

The black fat boss is very enthusiastic. He was busy making tea and pouring water for everyone. I also brought some melon seeds and peanuts.

As he walked, he saw that the fat black boss was very honest, so he asked, "Has your brother always lived in Nanjun City?" ”

The black fat boss replied: "My hometown is in Changping County, west of the city. A few years ago, a group of demon clans came there, and they often harassed the county seat, so my family fled here. ”

As he walked, he sang curiously: "So your home is not far from Nanjun Town." There are demon people there, and the county guard of Nanjun doesn't care? ”

The black fat boss sighed and said, "Those demon people are elusive. No one knows where they came from. The county warden sent troops to attack them many times, but they were unable to catch their whereabouts. Every time those demon people go to Changping County, they leave after the fight, so the people are worried all day long. My wife's family happened to have a relative in Nanjun who wanted to sell a property in Namgun, and my wife and I discussed it and bought the shop. ”

The fat boss said a few words, and then went to work below. As he walked, he sang and said to Wang Chong: "Nanjun City is not safe here. The demon people have already hit the door. ”

Wang Chong said: "Yes! The other three counties have already clashed with the demon clan, and it is only a matter of time before the southern county city is in charge. We should take advantage of the fact that the demon people have not attacked and gain a firm foothold in Nanjun City. This requires your intelligence bureau to set up an intelligence agency here, and we need a lot of intelligence information. ”

As he walked, he sang, "I want to too!" But we've just been here, so much happened, how can we have time to recruit intelligence officers? ”

Wang Chong thought about it, and sang it reasonably while walking. They have only been in Nanjun City for more than ten days, and they have been dealing with various situations almost every day. Wang Chong felt that this would not work, and he should hide for a while.

It's going to be offline again. The last time was in Yan Ruyu's Mingzhezhuang, but this time it went offline, and Wang Chong couldn't find a safe place.

The group of heroes in Bell and Drum Lane is no longer safe. Dao Hanmei's tofu shop, Wang Chong is not at ease. Thinking about it, Wang Chong felt that only this tavern was relatively hidden.

The morning guests have all left, and the fat black man is cleaning up with his wife and two children.

The wife of a black fat man looks stocky at the time of a middle-aged fat woman. Their two children were boys, one was five or six years old and the other was twelve or thirteen.

While walking, he sang and asked the name of the fat black man. His name is Zhang Da. My wife's maiden name is Ma, and everyone else calls her sister-in-law Zhang. The two children are named Zhang Dalang and Zhang Erlang.

Through observation, Wang Chong felt that the family was very simple. It's not like a person with a special background, seeing that they have finished cleaning up, Wang Chong asked Zhang Da to go to the second floor to speak.

Zhang Da came to the second floor and stood respectfully with his hands down. The hardware that Wang Chong gave him was equal to his earnings for a few days. So Zhang Da cares a lot about such customers.

Wang Chong asked Zhang Da to sit down. Zhang Dalian waved his hand and said, "Don't dare, don't dare." If the guest officer has any orders, just say. ”

Wang Chong smiled: "We have something we want to ask Boss Zhang for help." ”

Zhang Da hurriedly said: "Where did the guest officer say!" It is my honor to serve the guest officer. ”

Wang Chong continued: "We want to borrow you to live here for a few days, and the house price will be doubled. With that, Wang Chong took out a hundred gold and put it on the table. He continued, "We are with you and do not want to be known by outsiders. So I hope you keep your mouth shut. ”

Hearing this, the face of the elder showed embarrassment. He hesitated and did not speak. As he walked, he sang and said to him, "What? Do you dislike us for giving less? ”

Zhang Da said in a panic: "No, no, no." The guest officer gave enough. It's just that I usually have to entertain guests here, and I'm afraid that something will go wrong. ”
