Chapter 45: There is a cottage
Happy Chinese New Year's Eve, eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at night, so the number of words is more, hehehehe.
*********
Many times I think that I was originally a good person, but after entering the Protectorate, I became bad. Although I don't want to leave the life of the Protectorate, in fact, I still leave a way back for myself, just in case.
Without Feng Qingya knowing, I hid a lot of silver tickets, gems, jewelry, and hid them by any opportunity to go out, such as last time and Chunyu went out. I dug a pit under a tree and buried it. Behaved like a mouse, but I didn't have a choice.
I remembered that the jade pendant that I had snatched from the enemy was not thrown away, but was hidden by me in that broken temple, but I didn't expect that hiding things had become my instinct.
The carriage was bumpy for a day and a night, no one spoke, and Xiao Jiu always looked at me with wary eyes, which made me very strange. And what made me even stranger was that the carriage stopped on an official road.
Lifting the curtain, a forest, a bright moon hung high in the sky.
"It's here!" Hou Xian jumped out of the carriage, "I really don't understand what Nangong told me to stop here for?" Wait, I'll make a fire. β
"I'm going to help." Xiao Ruo followed.
"We only have three days." Xiao Jiu said softly, "Where things start, they end, and this is where the grain is lost." β
I jumped out of the car, and the Dragon Emperor followed, sniffing around. Xiao Jiu stood on the carriage and continued: "Now that Chu Yi and Chun Yu Zichen are implicated, they are still guilty, and the remaining officials will only sit and wait for us to go, hmph, they are all old things that are wise to protect themselves." β
"So we don't go to Qingzhou, but start directly from here?" It turned out to be a crime scene. I stretched out my hand to hug Xiao Jiu, but Xiao Jiu took a step back nervously and jumped out of the carriage by himself from the other side: "Here, there is a group of bandits here, but I don't think it is very likely that they will commit a crime." Xiao Jiu walked out from under the horse's belly.
"Why?"
"Because...... They never robbed the official grain, but the two hundred quintals of official grain before and after the front and back did not mean that they could be moved, and if they were to be moved, they would inevitably be seen, this was an official road, and no matter day or night, someone would pass by. And so far it has not been found, unless, it was done by these bandits, or these two batches of official food, which are still here. β
"Hidden?" I looked around, and the dark woods were full of mystery.
The bonfire was raised, and the bright light of the fire dispelled the gloom of the woods.
"Whether it's Chu Yi or Chun Yu Zichen, when they are resting here, they all fall into a deep sleep, so they are either mountain thieves or internal thieves."
Xiao Jiu's analysis was meticulous and comprehensive, and his dignified face reminded me of Conan naturally. Unexpectedly, Xiao Jiu's gaze collided with me, I smiled at him, but he hurriedly turned his face away: "Let's act separately, you go to the cottage, Xiao Ruo and I are nearby to investigate." β
"Huh? I go to the cottage?
"Well, you might be able to have a meal now." Xiao Jiu's tone brought out mockery, and he stared at me evilly, "Eating and drinking is not your forte? β
I squinted, Xiao Jiu's dark and bright eyes were like black pearls. It can be guessed that Xiao Jiu will also be a beautiful boy in the near future.
"Ma'am, supper is ready." Xiao Ruo's shout interrupted my sharp gaze with Xiao Jiu. I withdrew my gaze and walked forward when I was kicked in the calf, there is a limit to my patience, if he hits me again, I will definitely beat him!
"Don't leave yet! You've slept all day, it's time to move, I don't want a pig's body. β
I glared back at him, and he strode past me with a cold face.
Hey, why? Forget it, for the sake of him being a "child", I don't bother to bother with him.
"Hey, you've got to tell me where that cottage is."
"Copycat?" Hou Xian stood up suddenly with rice crackers, his eyes flashing, "Are you going to that cottage?" β
"Which copycat?"
"Hey! Which else could there be. The linen-like shirt jumped in the firelight, and the tooth-shaped ornament swayed slightly with his movements, "I'll take you there, as soon as you enter the rivers and lakes, it is my territory, and Boss Meng has a little friendship with me." Then he looked at the moonlight and raised his eyebrows, "This should be their cooking time, half an hour away, ha......"
My face was dark: "Hou Xian, you don't want to go to eat." β
In the firelight, it was the smiling faces of Xiao Ruo and Xiao Jiu, and Hou Xian twitched the corners of his eyebrows: "Who said that, I'm going to see an old friend, let's go, let's go." β
Speechless... The back chord is really with me all the way. Anyway, Nangong asked me to bring the back string, is there still this purpose?
"Dragon Emperor~~" I shouted lazily, and the Dragon Emperor followed closely beside me.
Qingzhou lost food, Xiao Jiu divided the manpower into three branches, one is the Shadow Palace, go to Qingzhou to continue to investigate, one is me, go to the cottage to investigate, and the rest is himself, looking for clues near the lost food. He believed that it was impossible to carry away hundreds of loads of grain without knowing it, so the grain was either carried up the mountain by bandits who were familiar with the road conditions, or it was still hidden nearby.
However, why didn't he send a team to keep an eye on Jia Mingkai? If Jia Mingkai has something to do with this whole thing, then if you stare at him, you may have unexpected clues.
"Hurry up." Hou Xian had to stop and go because of me, and I gave him a blank look: "How can I catch up with your foot strength, I'm hungry and can't walk." β
"Hey." Hou Xian pointed to the Dragon Emperor in front of him, "Even dogs can go faster than you." β
actually compared me to a dog, I was angry, my stomach was on fire, and I simply sat down and didn't leave: "You go first, don't you want to eat white food if you go so fast?" I don't want to go, I can't walk. Don't go! β
Hindstring walked up to me, and I sat on the ground just in time to see his cloth boots, and the white socks were tied with brown leggings and loops.
"Tsk, trouble!" Suddenly, Hindstring crouched down in front of me and pointed to his back, "Come up, or we won't be able to eat in time." β
After a second of doubt, I immediately jumped on his back so that he would not regret it, and the arrogant back chord also had moments of concern.
The Dragon Emperor stood in front and looked back at us, and when he saw the back string on his back, he moved forward again.
Although the back string was small, he was extraordinary, and he had the strength to speak behind my back: "Hey! I've never carried a woman, see I'm so good to you, can you charge me less tuition, I'm almost out of money to spend there. β
"Hahaha, come back to me after you have a good experience with that tumbler."
"Your martial arts are really amazing, this is the most difficult martial arts I have ever learned."
"It's not difficult, it's not difficult, it's okay to understand it, just remember that yin and yang are mutually reinforcing each other, and softness can also overcome rigidity."
"Rou Neng Ke Gang...... "Rou Neng Ke Gang" Hou Xian repeated softly, "Rou Neng Ke Gang...... It's here! β
He stopped, put me down, and in front of me was a brightly lit cottage, with a wooden fence, a wooden gate, a wooden bunker, and two big characters on the debt door: cottage!
It's good, it's powerful. Sure enough, it saves trouble!
On the closed door of the cottage, there is a large white paper pasted on it, and there is a row of large characters on the white paper. The Dragon Emperor went to the door and sniffed carefully, didn't he find anything? I was excited. Suddenly, he raised his hind legsγγγγγγ
"Ha, it's still the same." Hou String Lehe stepped forward and read the words on the white paper, "Qingzhou is unkind, and Ula ...... Sky...... Close? What do you mean? β
I read the note several times over and over again, and suddenly it dawned on me: "It should be Qingzhou's loss of grain, and it has nothing to do with us." β
"Yes! Ulla is the vernacular here, that is, us. The back chord touched his chin, "There are many typos, and it is really the style of Boss Meng." After saying that, he shouted upward, "Boss Meng, open the door!" β
Looking at the Internet, in the wooden bunker, there are big living people.
