Chapter 321: The caravan is being targeted

Just when they heard Xiahou say that they didn't see the attacker's face, they didn't know where to find the murderer, and they were a little clueless, Xiahou then said an important message: "Although the incident happened suddenly and I didn't see his face, after I saw his figure, I remembered that he looked like a person, and I had seen him before." ”

"Who is it?" The Breeze Viewer hurriedly asked.

Xia Hou replied, "It's the old shopkeeper of the haunted inn in this town. ”

"Let's go and see him." With an order, let Xiahou lead the way in front, and the Qingfeng Guan Guan Master hurriedly rushed to check the situation with more than a dozen apprentices.

Soon, the old shopkeeper who had returned to the inn found that it was very lively outside, so he hid inside and took a look outside, and found that Xiahou was not dead, but also brought people to trouble him.

It seems that he has lost his eyes again, this kid is resistant to beating, the old shopkeeper instantly thought about these clearly, and then saw the Qingfeng Guanguan and Fei Gongfu followed by Xia Hou, and suddenly felt that these two people were a little dangerous, and they couldn't figure out that they were not their opponents.

It is not related to them, and they are in such a hurry to find themselves, they must have been exposed, they were careless before, and they went to kill people without covering their faces, they were too careless, thinking of this, the old shopkeeper immediately fled from the back door.

As soon as the old shopkeeper left, they arrived at the Qingfeng Guanguan, rushed in at once, and searched for no one inside, but judging from the fact that the door was open, the old shopkeeper should have been there before, and when he saw them coming to the door, he ran away with a thief's heart.

Although they guessed this, they searched around the inn, inside and out, but they couldn't find any trace of the old shopkeeper, and the traces left by him after he ran away.

Didn't find anyone, so they began to rummage through the inn, hoping to find any useful clues, but unfortunately the inn has been a ghost for a few months, and there has been no business, so Xiahou and they didn't find anything useful.

There are still important things to do when going down the mountain this time, and this old shopkeeper is not an important person, and the Qingfeng Guan Guan Master doesn't want to waste time here, so he waved his hand and took his apprentices away.

After Xiahou followed the Qingfeng Guan Guan and the caravan to converge, they set out on the road together and left Guolu Town.

After a day's journey, before dark, Xiahou and the others rushed to the next resting place, found an inn to stay, and the goods and carriage were placed in the small courtyard behind the inn.

After dinner, after arranging the staff on duty to watch the goods at night, the other people who were okay went to sleep, and they had to hurry early tomorrow morning.

Xiahou was unlucky, it was his turn in the second half of the night today, and he and a few guards took care of the bulk of goods brought by the caravan.

was assigned to be on duty in the middle of the night, and Xia Hou had to go offline first, and then go online to do this drudgery after dealing with his physiological needs.

The second half of the night soon arrived, and Xia Hou and a few guards took wine, meat and dishes to replace those in the first half of the night like those jailers who didn't take their duty seriously.

Seeing that Xiahou, the newcomer, was going to start drinking and eating meat like these old guards, they stopped Xiahou and unanimously recommended him, the newcomer, to go around and check that the goods were in good condition, and it was not too late to come back for supper.

Xiahou didn't miss this bite of food and drink, so he stood up, didn't know anything about these stingy ghosts, took his weapon and left, and he found a place to stay by himself.

After Xia Hou came back from his inspection, he found that these people had all fallen to the ground, unconscious.

As soon as Xiahou pulled out his sword, and just as he wanted to shout, a knife appeared on his neck, and at the same time, a hoarse voice came from behind him: "Don't move, don't make a sound, otherwise I will do you." ”

was threatened, before he didn't know how sharp the knife on his neck was, and before he didn't know the identity of the person behind him, Xia Hou didn't act rashly, and obediently didn't move or shout.

In order to reassure the people behind him, before he made other requests, Xia Hou took the initiative to throw away the weapon in his hand, saying that he had no intention of resisting, big brother, you can take whatever you want, as long as you don't hurt me.

Seeing Xia Hou so cooperative, the people behind him concluded that he was a person who was afraid of death, as long as he asked questions, he would definitely explain honestly.

So he asked, "Where is the destination of your journey?" What is the most valuable thing in the cargo? ”

Without hesitation, Xiahou blurted out: "Go to Windy City, I don't know what valuable things are in the goods, after all, I'm just a guard." ”

In fact, Xiahou didn't know where the caravan was going, he asked before, but no one told him, saying that this was not what he should know.

But the Qingfeng Guan Lord is here, and he has secretly sent half of the Qingfeng Guan's people to Windy City before, so Xiahou guessed that their destination is likely to be Windy City.

In line with the intention of going against the Qingfeng Guanguan, Xiahou sold him without hesitation.

The person behind him didn't expect Xia Hou to answer so simply, so he said with a little disbelief: "Windy City? What are you doing in Windy City? ”

"I don't know about this, I'm just a little guard, and I won't tell me a lot of things, so let me go, big brother." Xia Hou said scaredly.

After listening to Xia Hou's words, the man pressed Xia Hou's shoulder with a knife and said, "You lie, since you said that you are a little guard, how do you know that the destination is Windy City?" You're lying to me, either you know everything, or what you said about Windy City is also fake, and you're talking nonsense. Say, honestly, which of your words is true? ”

"Everything I said was true, in fact, I had a very unusual relationship with one of the merchants in the caravan, and the destination was accidentally learned in a chat with him, but he immediately changed the subject as soon as he realized that he had said something, and as for other things, I didn't bother to ask, so I don't know. I'm just a little guard, taking other people's money to escort goods for others, and other things are not my concern. Xia Hou explained.

Seeing Xia Hou say this, the man also came prepared, threw out what he knew, tried to make Xia Hou's heart weak, and said some other things: "Don't fool me, you are not a guard at all, say, what are you going to do when you infiltrate this caravan?" What's the secret, what's the ulterior motive? ”

He knew all this, and it seemed that he had been following the caravan for several days, so Xia Hou said: "Big brother, I just eat with a mouthful, and a few days ago, I happened to meet a fellow merchant who was also in this caravan, and he saw that I had nothing to do, so he recruited me in." I really don't have any other purpose or secret, if you don't believe me, let's go to my fellow merchant, he can prove my words, and he can know something I don't know, and then you can just ask him. ”
