Chapter 260: Strange Everywhere
The two of them pondered it for a while, and felt that this matter was full of weirdness, even if they wanted to report it back to Gu Qingyan, they had to understand it a little more.
So Dong Xin remembered the beggar who took him into the outskirts of the city, and said to Dong Ling: "I'll go look for that beggar, maybe he can ask what to bring you?" ”
"Okay, then I'll go to the city gate." Dong Ling looked at the city gate.
"Well, in an hour, no matter what the situation, let's meet first."
"Okay."
After that, Dong Xin jumped onto the rooftops of various streets and alleys, looking for beggars from hidden alleys and houses.
Dong Ling turned around and climbed the city wall, the soldiers guarding the city wall had just changed their guards, and taking advantage of the gap when the big guys were all stuck, Dong Ling reached the city wall at a very fast speed.
No one seemed to notice that the gates had just been opened, and the people who had come down from the changing of the guard washed up a little and went to the rest room to rest.
Dong Ling sneaked into the room, listening to his breathing steadily, then quietly appeared, found a person who looked like the leader of this team, and took out a token from the pocket of his clothes on the table next to him.
It said to protect the left battalion, Dong Ling put the token back in the pocket of his clothes, looked around the room, and saw a board standing not far from the door,
On the board was a piece of paper filled with shift schedules.
After reading the notice of the shift, Dong Ling knew that the guards at the gates of Jicheng were jointly completed by the left and right battalions, and each of the four city gates in the southeast, northwest, and northwest would be arranged by a team of people from the left battalion and a team from the right battalion
The shift time is a shift for three hours, from the hour to noon, from the time to the unitary time, from the time to the time of the child, and from the time of the ugly time to the time of the Mao.
When the two shifts are handed over, it is possible for everyone to open the city gates, but then it is very easy to find the city gates open.
Dong Ling's mind turned, and he quickly wrote down the names of the personnel on duty in the East Camp and the West Camp at this moment in front of him.
When he had finished remembering his name, he did not linger in the house any longer, but slipped out of the room and descended the city walls.
It wasn't difficult for Dong Xin to find this beggar over there, he got something on him when he was out of the beggar before.
Now he took out a small bottle from his bosom, and put the winged moth in the vial, and the moth flew over in search of taste.
Dong Xin quickened his pace and followed, and sure enough, on a dilapidated street corner, he saw a beggar sleeping with a straw mat.
I don't know what he dreamed of, with an obsessive smile on his face.
The moth rested on the beggar's shoulder, and was put into a bottle by Dong Xin.
"Hey, wake up!"
Dong Xin found a wooden stick from the side and patted the beggar with the wooden stick.
The beggar snorted, rolled over impatiently, and waved his hand in the air.
Seeing that he didn't wake up, Dong Xin didn't say anything more, an extra silver needle appeared between his fingers, and he directly pierced the back of the beggar's neck.
The beggar only felt a tingling pain all over his body, and before his eyes opened, his body subconsciously jumped up and bounced away.
When he came back to his senses and really opened his eyes, he saw Dong Xin, who was ten meters away from him, holding his hand, and looking at him with a malicious smile.
"What people!"
The beggar drank angrily.
Dong Xin smiled: "What's the matter, I haven't seen you for a few hours, I forgot?" ”
The beggar felt that Dong Xin's body was enough to force him, and then looked at it carefully, and determined that he had seen Dong Xin's face.
"Don't don't, this master, if you have something to say, say it well."
The beggar said this, but the soles of his feet were very dishonest and wanted to slip away.
It's just that he was just about to turn around and run, and he saw Dong Xin standing in front of him like a ghost.
"I'll go!"
The beggar scolded in a low voice, and wanted to turn around and leave, but as soon as he turned around, Dong Xin appeared in front of him again, and raised his eyebrows at him with disdain.
"No, you, it's a human or a ghost!" The beggar was anxious, he really couldn't figure out how Dong Xin teleported.
"Hmph, you brought me to the outskirts of the city and got a lot of benefits, right?"
Dong Xin teased the beggar twice, and roughly knew that this beggar was at most good at bouncing, relying on this three-legged cat kung fu to fool others, and then leading people to the outskirts of the city, bringing a person, and getting a reward.
As for the beggar, when he heard Dong Xin's words, he thought that Dong Xin didn't get the benefits he wanted, so he turned around and settled accounts with himself.
"Eh, master, buying and selling is also about fate, you...."
The beggar didn't know if he was right, so he only said tentatively.
Dong Xin approached the beggar step by step, and before he touched the beggar, his figure flashed, and when the beggar reacted, Dong Xin had already grabbed a dirty money bag in his hand and fell to the ground, and the broken silver and copper plates fell out of the money bag.
"Eh, you!" The beggar was so angry that he wanted to step forward to retrieve the money bag, but Dong Xin dodged and pointed at the beggar's acupuncture point with his backhand.
The beggar was fixed there, Dong Xin looked at him and said: "Just this money, it's not enough to do anything, so let's do it, this time I'll take you to a place, you just need to answer the question, I guarantee that you have money to earn." ”
Dong Xin saw that the beggar's eyes lit up when he heard the money, and he felt that he must have guessed correctly, this person could pry his mouth open with money.
So, he snapped his fingers twice into the air, and out of nowhere, two black shadows appeared.
"Childe."
"Take it back and ask about it."
"Yes."
After that, Dong Xin unlocked the beggar's acupoint and threw the money bag back to the beggar, and when the beggar took it, he found that the money bag had sunk a lot, and he was instantly happy.
Seeing this, one of the two guards grabbed one of the beggar's arms, jumped into the air, and brought the person back to the Hidden Pile stronghold.
Dong Xin's matter was temporary, so he went back to the city gate to find Dong Ling, and the two of them went to the dark pile stronghold first, and then they knew from the dark pile that Xu Shaolin was looking for the black market.
"Do you think the barren mountains and forests on the outskirts of the city are the black market that the valley lord is looking for?" Dong Ling asked Dong Xin.
Dong Xin thought about it and shook his head: "It's hard to say." ”
turned to ask the dark pile: "You are in Jicheng, don't you know that there is a black market?" ”
The dark pile said: "Childe, we know that there is a black market, but in order to maintain the mystery, the time and place of the black market have always changed, and there has never been a trust. ”
Besides, Peach Blossom Stream has orders for hidden piles and secret guards outside, and for unnecessary things, all well water does not interfere with river water, you can know, but there is no need to understand everything clearly.
"Eh, how's that beggar doing?" Dong Xin naturally knew the rules of doing things, so he didn't say anything.
"The master who opens his mouth when he gives money doesn't need the two sons to work hard."
At this time, a secret guard happened to come from the backyard, took the record from the beggar, and gave it directly to Dong Xin and them.
"He said that the market in the barren mountains and forests on the outskirts of the city has only started recently, and it has not been long since the month of Layue, and the opening time of the market is uncertain.
The Dark Guard said as he condensed the contents.
Dong Ling glanced at the content on it, and said that the next time it will start again will be in two days.
"The interval between each market opening is also arbitrary?"
Dong Ling asked.
The dark guard shook his head: "That's not it, the two days after what he said is not considered an interval, but the duration of this market opening." The last time the beggar said it was twenty days ago. ”
Dong Xin calculated: "From Layue to the present, this is at most the third market opening?" ”
"Hmm."
"Those two times before were in the barren mountains and forests?" Dong Ling thought for a moment and asked.
The dark guard nodded: "But the beggar said that the position is probably different every time, and if you want him to say the specifics, he won't understand." ”
Hearing this, Dong Ling frowned, pulled the corner of Dong Xin's clothes, and the two glanced at each other, Dong Xin immediately understood, and asked the dark guard to bring the topographic map of Jicheng.
Unfolding the topographic map, Dong Xin found the location of the outskirts of the city and pointed to an area for Dong Ling.
Dong Ling looked at it and said, "That place should be here." ”
"This is the only canyon in this area, and it is said that there was a village in the two mountains a hundred years ago, and the people of the village lived against the rock wall and cultivated the countryside in the canyon."
A secret guard familiar with the terrain of the neighborhood said.
After listening to this, Dong Ling nodded: "When I explored, I found that the place was surrounded by rock walls, and it is very likely that we were indeed in a cave at that time. ”
"I need this information, the more detailed the better, find it as soon as possible, and then order someone to prepare."
Dong Xin instructed the secret guard that they needed to report this matter to Xu Shaolin first, and then they were bound to go there.
"Yes."
The Dark Guard responded.
Dong Ling said: "If what the beggar said two days later is what he said yesterday, then the next market opening will be tomorrow." ”
"That's right."
"Give me pen and paper." As he spoke, Dong Ling reached out to the dark guard for paper and pen.
Then he wrote down on a piece of paper the names he remembered when he went to explore the gates.
"Find a way to figure out if the time and people of the city gate guards tomorrow are the same as on this paper."
The secret guard took the paper and wanted to respond, but as soon as he saw the left and right battalions on it, he asked Dong Xin and the others if they needed to ask Gu Qingyan for instructions first.
Dong Xin said: "If you think there is anything wrong, let's talk about it first." ”
"This ..... Childe, the left and right battalions are in the hands of the two adults, the commander of the right battalion is a person under the command of Lord Fang, Lord Fang can be regarded as a cronie of the Yu Wang Ye dynasty, this is nothing, the commander of the left battalion is the person of Yong'an Hou, so..."
Dong Xin understood what the secret guard meant, and said: "Send someone to investigate secretly, we will find out the master later, and you will act directly." ”
"Yes."
While they were talking, there was a bustle outside the house.
The secret guard said: "It was Ye Jinliang who went to pick up his relatives." ”
Dong Xin and Dong Ling glanced at each other and knew that the hour was almost up, so the two planned to put the matter at hand away for the time being and go back to their master.
Before returning to the palace courtyard, Dong Xin went to the man who had changed his secret weapon, and changed the real secret weapon from his hand.
"This man wants to make a fortune from the woman in the black market, and when the time comes, he will be able to find the woman by keeping an eye on him." Dong Ling said.
"Do you think that woman can find a secret weapon?" Dong Xin asked.
Dong Ling nodded: "When she asked me for these secret weapons, she offered this price." ”
Dong Ling stretched out five fingers.
Dong Xin said: "Five taels? ”
Dong Ling glanced at him: "Five gold ingots." ”
It's not as simple as five taels.
"Where's the money?" Dong Xin looked at Dong Ling, he didn't find his money bag.
Dong Ling patted Dong Xin: "There is a problem with the money, I want to show it directly to the master!" ”
Dong Xin nodded in compromise, explained to the dark stake and continued to stare at the man, and then went back to the palace with Dong Ling.
Not long after entering the courtyard, I met Holly who came out of Gu Qingyan's place, and probably said something to Holly, they seemed to have encountered the black market, so they were pulled by Holly to find Xu Shaolin and them first.
