"Is there anything wrong with this lord?"
The woman asked, looking a little alarmed.
Ning Yue knocked on the table and asked, "Is it Yan?" I read that the registration at the time of entry said that the cargo of your caravan - no, there were some children's clothes and toys during the baggage inspection, but none of the children followed, right? ”
"Yes. These are the gifts that we are going to take home and give to our children. Beside the woman, a man estimated to be about thirty years old hurriedly spoke.
Ning Yue stood up and walked off the platform, came to the man, and said, "Gift? Shouldn't the gift be bought on the return trip? You haven't delivered the goods to your destination yet, so why did you buy them on the way there? Do you want to say that children's clothes and toys are also sought-after goods, and you are afraid that they will be out of stock when you come back? ”
"This ...... I'm afraid that I'll be too eager to return when the time comes, and I'll forget. The man nodded repeatedly, beads of sweat on the edge of his forehead very noticeable.
It's already winter, and it's still outside the open house, and there is no strenuous activity, so if you want to sweat, I'm afraid it can only be cold sweat.
"I'm just asking, what are you so afraid of?"
Ning Yue pressed his shoulder, then looked at the woman in front of him, and said, "There are thirty pigs in your cargo, right?" It is rare to travel such a long distance to bring living creatures. ”
The woman hurriedly replied: "It's Shuoxiang Pig, our specialty over there is a good price for selling in other areas of the Snow Dragon Empire, not to mention bringing it to other empires where cattle and sheep are the main meat and pork is scarce." Because the most important thing in Shuoxiang pork is a unique aroma of cooking, but if it is left for too long after slaughtering, the taste will be weak, so we have to trouble some and bring it alive. In terms of profits, this is enough trouble. This adult looked at the face student, it should be a new arrival, right? You can ask some of the seniority adults in the Two Wolves Pass, they are all familiar with each other, and they know that we will bring live Shuoxiang pigs when we go to business. ”
"Okay, one more question. Thirty pigs, how many are still alive now? ”
As soon as these words came out, Ning Yue obviously saw that the woman's eyes were flustered, and hurriedly turned his head to avoid his gaze, and replied: "Of course they are all alive, this thing is so profitable, how dare we slaughter it casually?" ”
"No matter how big the profit is, it's insignificant compared to the safety of your children, right?"
"My lord, I don't understand what you're talking about?" The man hurriedly replied.
Raising his hand, Ning Yue glanced at Fang Huanlan on the side, and said, "Go check it out, there are still a few Shuoxiang pigs they brought." ”
Poof!
Suddenly, the man knelt down, and more than a dozen men and women near him also knelt down together, kowtowing repeatedly.
"My lord, we were wrong. We don't want to! Please, save our children! When the time comes, we can be punished as much as we want! ”
Looking at this sudden scene, Fang Huanlan was stunned for a moment, and stopped talking.
Waving his hand to signal that everything was fine, Ning Yue leaned in front of the man and said, "It seems that you are finally going to say it well." Then explain it all. Well, a few of you come here, take a good record, everyone in their caravan, come and ask separately. ”
Xiao Ao snorted unhappily: "Hey, what do you call us a few records, so what do you do?" ”
"I've helped you solve the most difficult things, and the rest of the simple things, can't you deal with them? As for me, go catch up on sleep, and I'm almost asleep sitting there. Call me at noon, hoping that by then, you have enough clues. ”
Looking at Ning Yue's back as he yawned and left, Xiao Ao stomped his feet and snorted: "It's obvious that he caused the trouble here to make up for it, why do you want to trouble us in the end?" ”
"Make up for it? I don't think so. He must have had other plans, but he didn't even tell us. For example, today's interrogation is a little inexplicable, but it does find a breakthrough point. In other words, there are some clues and secrets in his heart. So, if you want to know the whole thing, let's do it first. ”
Ji Qianyou shrugged her shoulders and walked to the caravan ahead, pointing to a few women and motioning for them to follow.
Standing in place with her arms folded, Du Yinyin was still pondering, she had also flipped through the record roster just now, but she didn't notice this caravan that Ning Yue had recognized.
"I really underestimated him, and I found out so quickly...... It's just, where is the flaw? With just the clothes of a child and thirty pigs, you found a breakthrough? ”
……
When Fang Huanlan entered the room, Ning Yue had already woken up, leaning on the head of the bed as if thinking about something.
"How's it going, are you resting?"
"It's much better, Marshal North is really good at tossing people, and it would be such a punishment."
Ning Yue smiled helplessly, put on his robe and jumped out of bed, grabbing the sheathed Dark Xuan Ancient Sword and pinning it to his belt.
"Since you've come to me, that is, there's progress?"
"Yes, they all said it. This year, due to the slow receipt of goods, it is likely that they will not be able to return to their hometown before the end of the year, so their caravan has brought their children and is ready to spend the New Year together in another country. Unexpectedly, he was ambushed by the demons before entering the customs, and everyone was captured. The demons detained their children and threatened them to take the thirty Shuoxiang pigs they had taken into the pass, and chose the house closest to the city wall to live. Moreover, it is not allowed to be viewed, and it is not allowed to mention the defenders of the city. Otherwise, they will wait to collect the child's body. ”
Speaking of this, Fang Huanlan was puzzled: "How can you see the flaws, it's just the clothes and toys with children in the caravan?" ”
Ning Yue replied: "That's just a little. The most important thing is that they are the only caravan with living creatures. I've seen that terrible monster last night, and what I saw that night is truly unforgettable. A terrifying monster that can hollow out living objects and put on the skins they left behind. Once blended in, they will perform another ability, making holes, allowing the rest of their companions to continue infiltrating and stealing the day. ”
"So at that time, the Warcraft quietly entered the customs, in front of our soldiers? Damn, those in charge of the inspection, too sloppy. Fang Huanlan gritted her teeth and drank, with a hint of horror in her eyes.
Such a horrific thing, if it weren't for what Ning Yue said, she would never have believed it.
Ning Yue sighed: "No wonder they. The caravan also said that they often carried goods, and the soldiers defending the city were familiar. It is very likely that seeing that it is indeed a live Shuoxiang pig, he ordered the quantity, then recorded it on the record, and let it go. It's just human nature, understandable. For familiar people and things, how much wariness. And the demons take advantage of human nature, for the sake of their children, parents can ignore everything and trample on any dignity and regulations. It's a sadness, but it's also the emotion that makes us human. ”
Fang Huanlan also sighed, and then said, "What to do now?" ”
"The whole city is searched, and every living life has to be checked to see if it is fake, it is just a skin. Then, with the pen of Sekishuoka Xiang pig as the center, the search spreads outward. There were definitely more than thirty demonic beasts that appeared last night, and there must be holes in the ground, all of which were blocked. ”
"I'll go and give the order, and then send a message to Marshal Flying Eagle to explain everything. Ning Yue, this time you will definitely have no problem offsetting your merits. ”
"I hope so."
……
Night.
On a relatively secluded and dim street in the Two Wolves Pass, a figure stood against the wall, silent.
After a long time, a voice suddenly sounded, startled into the void.
"It seems to be going well, so quickly I got it."
Another figure appeared, seemingly stepping out of the darkness of the night, without warning.
Ning Yue raised the roster in his hand, and did not give it directly to the other party, but asked, "Before giving you something, you must answer me a few questions." ”
"Oh? It's not the same as saying yes. ”
Having said that, the man really withdrew his hand, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Ask, but I can't tell you everything." ”
"In addition to you, how many people are there in the Eclipse Yin Pass here?"
"As far as I know, two. One you should have seen after last night. There is another one, I only know that he is here, but I don't know what he is doing. The three of us didn't go all the way, but we just happened to be here for our own reasons. ”
"The roster was given to you, are you really retired?"
"Of course. The direct purpose of the army outside was not to help the nomadic tribes conquer cities and seize grain and grass. ”
"Good. The last question, the demon army that rushed to the aid of the nomadic tribe shouldn't be the same force as the law, right? Or is it that there are several forces within it? ”
As soon as this question came up, the Eclipse Yin was visibly hesitant.
Shaking the roster in his hand tightly, Ning Yue said coldly: "Let's be honest, the roster is given to you, how many people can really retire from the army?" ”
The other party sighed: "Less than half." But you will also be much better off than the initial oppression and threats. ”
"That is, you admit that you lied?"
"So what? You should know that if I want to rob now, you can't stop it. ”
At the moment when the eclipse yin revealed the blade of the sword, Ning Yue raised his hand and threw it, and the roster fell in front of the other party.
"Take it. Hopefully, at least half of what you say will keep your promise and get out of here. ”
Leaning over to pick up the roster, the other party was a little puzzled, and replied: "That's it, don't plan to ask anything more?" ”
"You're not going to tell me anyway, are you? The answer I wanted, I already have it. At this time, it was only temporarily united with those nomadic tribes for the common good, and the elite armies outside were only temporarily united. When the power on your side is drained, the alliance will become much more fragile. And at that time, it was our chance. ”
Clenching the roster in his hand, Eclipse Yin suddenly looked up at the back in front of him, and shouted, "A word of advice for you, be careful." The third Eclipse Yin is very hostile to this place, especially after learning about last night's events, he may not be able to attack you. ”
"Thank you. But he really dared to come, and that was the moment when he killed himself. ”
Beckoning, Ning Yue continued to walk forward. In my heart, many thoughts quickly changed and combed.
The aftermath of the shocking change of the new Dabi is still there, and the mutated demonic beasts related to Sima Tiansong have appeared at the border of the Northern Regions, but judging from the scale of yesterday's attack, it has not been officially put into the war, and it is still just an experiment.
The other party's real fangs don't know when they will be revealed, but at least, there won't be any more in the short term.
"Half of the retreat, the remaining part of the purpose is almost achieved, and as the allies retreat, they should not stay any longer. Coupled with the favor sold last night, that different nobleman should be much less hostile, and it will also have some impact on their army. In fact, soon, the only remaining enemies were basically nomadic tribes. This deal, in fact, is quite cost-effective. ”
He smiled secretly, but sighed helplessly.
These things can only be buried in the heart, and they may also bear the cold eyes and scolding of others. However, he has no regrets.
"Anyway, after the war is over, I'm going to leave here, no matter what they think, it doesn't matter."
"Oh? I'm afraid you won't live to leave that time. ”
Suddenly, a cold voice rang out.
Winter nights are biting.
