Chapter Fifty-Six: Encountering an Intelligence Peddler
It's almost the New Year in a blink of an eye, but this has no special significance for Mu Chenghu and his party.
Now Mu Chenghu and his party have no intention or ability to celebrate the festival.
Mu Chenghu looked at the snow falling more and more outside, and his heart became more and more worried.
Liu Wu found that Mu Chenghu had been walking around the house several times.
"They will be fine, Chen Guojun should be relatively lazy when the festival is approaching." Catkins explained.
Mu Chenghu looked at the people around him for fear of causing them panic, so he nodded and acquiesced to Liu Fu's statement.
It's just that Mu Chenghu has no way of knowing what he thinks.
On a rare snowy day, everyone didn't have to exercise, they were chatting on the kang.
However, this atmosphere could not hide the worries of several families, and many people found that this gradually quieted down.
Only a group of children were still running, jumping, and laughing in a few rooms.
Suddenly, Xiao Shi walked up to Mu Chenghu and asked, "Uncle, it's been a few days, why hasn't Grandpa Wei come back?" ”
"Soon, your Grandpa Wei will be back in the next two days." Mu Chenghu said and hugged the small stone to the kang.
Now everyone felt that the atmosphere was even more dull.
In Huilong Town, dozens of miles away, Mu Qingshan and Wei Ran were eating a sumptuous meal in the private room of a restaurant.
"Come, come, everyone is open to eat." Han Qing, a merchant of Chen Guo who was sitting above the table, said.
Mu Qingshan put a piece of chopsticks and meat in his mouth, and asked with some curiosity, "What business are you doing here?" ”
"What is the best money to make now, of course war money." Han Qinghao said without hesitation.
"You're selling weapons." Wei Ran thought for a while and said.
During this time, Wei Ran and several people followed Mu Chengru and they learned a lot of Chen Chinese, so this simple communication is no problem.
"Whoever carries that thing is not dangerous, I'm not that stupid!" Han Qing drank some wine and became a little proud.
Wei Ran thought for a while before saying, "Brother Han, then I really can't guess what kind of business you have." ”
"I'll tell you that I've recently inquired about something, and Captain Qiao is about to make a move against the bandits in the nearby hills," the man said in a drowsy voice.
Mu Qingshan and Wei Ran became nervous when they heard this.
"Hey, Brother Han, this is bragging, right?" Mu Qingshan forced himself to calm down.
"I told you that Dayan Mountain, White Tiger Mountain, and Tingfeng Cliff can't escape, all because Captain Qiao heard that the Wing King is in the deep mountains." The man continued.
Mu Qingshan and Wei Ran thought to themselves, fortunately, there was no Fulong Mountain, but did the Wing King have anything to do with the bandits?
Han Qing saw that the two were silent for a long time, thinking that the two didn't believe him.
"Don't believe it, this time Longzhen is about to fight, how can the Jin Guojun let go of the fat meat of Huilongzhen, I am about to leave this place." Of course, Han Qing also knew that this place could not be stayed for long.
Mu Qingshan suddenly realized that if he continued to ask, it would definitely not be beneficial to his few people.
Wei Ran was about to inquire about something, but was stopped by Mu Qingshan's eyes.
Mu Qingshan and the others took advantage of Han Qing's confusion and hurriedly ate the dishes on the table.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and Mu Qingshan and the others almost didn't throw away the chopsticks in their hands.
"Come in." Han Qing said in a daze.
"Guest, what else do you want to order?" Xiao Er opened the door and came in and asked.
Mu Qingshan and the others hurriedly waved their hands and said no, Han Qing thought that the dishes on this table were completely enough.
After Xiao Er retreated, Mu Qingshan was afraid that Han Qing would remember what he had just said, so he stood up and said goodbye to him.
As soon as Mu Qingshan and the others walked to the door, they heard Han Qing instruct the two subordinates to eat the rest of the dishes.
Mu Qingshan and the others thought of the dishes that hadn't been touched much, and walked downstairs with a painful face.
As a result, when the two walked into the lobby, they saw Mu Chengtian's two brothers eating with their mouths full of oil, and at this moment they both felt extremely unbalanced.
On the way back, Mu Chengtian looked at the two people with not very good faces and said, "What's wrong with you, it's so difficult that you haven't eaten enough, you shouldn't be!" Boss Han is very generous! ”
Mu Qingshan took out the place where he used to hang the cigarette stick, and found that it was empty, so he had to do it.
Mu Chengzhu found out that Mu Qingshan's move quickly stopped Mu Chengtian, who was about to continue asking, although he himself wanted to know what was going on.
Wei Ran said with some amusement: "Okay, let's talk about it when I go back!" ”
As soon as he returned to the small courtyard, Mu Qingshan immediately asked a few people to pack up their things and prepare to return to the mountain tomorrow.
"Let's just go back like this, it's not good to go back like this, right?" Mu Chengtian couldn't figure out what was wrong with Mu Qingshan.
"Today, the person we saved is not simple, I am afraid that he will react tomorrow and attack us." Mu Qingshan rarely explained a few words.
"But didn't we save them?" Mu Chengzhu was also a little puzzled at this time.
Wei Ran was a little speechless and said, "I'm afraid you have forgotten about the group of people in Yanjia Village." ”
The two Mu Chengtian brothers are not stupid people, and Wei Ran also reacted when he said this.
Mu Chengtian looked at the sky and said with some regret, "It's a pity that we can't leave today." ”
Early the next morning, Mu Qingshan and the others hurriedly went out of the city and returned to the mountain.
As a result, it didn't take long for a few people to go. Han Qing, who woke up from the wine, immediately ordered his subordinates to inquire about the whereabouts of several people.
Half a day later, the next person came back and told him that Mu Qingshan and the others had gone out of the city, and they didn't know where they went.
"Pass my word, and as soon as you find a few people, you will immediately do them." Han Qing said a little ruthlessly.
Although the subordinates are a little curious, as a qualified subordinate, they will not ask why.
At this time, the few people who had already returned to Fulong Mountain did not know that they had escaped without danger.
Looking at the few people who came back, Mu Chenghu's restless heart finally let go.
After a few people sat on the kang and calmed down, Mu Qingshan hurriedly told the big guy what he heard yesterday.
"It seems that you have met an intelligence monger, but fortunately you withdrew early." When Mu Chengru thought of this, he couldn't help but rejoice in the lives of several people.
Mu Chenghu obviously didn't expect that there were also intelligence dealers in this era.
Halfway, Mu Chenghu asked a little whimsically, "Then can we ask them to buy information in the future." ”
"Then don't think about it, we don't have that money, and once this group of people finds out that their identities are exposed, they will definitely kill people." Mu Chengru's words startled everyone.
Mu Chenghu's fantasy was finally defeated by reality.
"It's a pity that these messages are of little use to us, and in general, our purpose of going down the mountain this time has not been achieved." Mu Qingshan said helplessly.
"This news is still very useful, it at least tells us that this place will be very chaotic next, and we can't go back to Dragon Town." Mu Chenghu said.
"Yes, now there are at least two groups of people in Huilong Town who pose a threat to us, and if there is a war, we will give our heads our lives." Mu Chengru added.
Hearing this, Li Tiezhu clenched his fists and said, "The people of Yanjia Village are really hateful. ”
"The people of Yanjia Village won't be happy, so many Chen Guobing died last time, do you think those people will let them go easily?" Mu Chenghu thought about the ending of the people in Yanjia Village, and his heart was a little happy.
Mu Chenghu said it really well, at this time, the people of Yanjia Village were being driven to the snow to build fortifications, and they had to be whipped a few times from time to time, and Yan Xingzhi was still the focus of care.
Yan Xingzhi couldn't help but wonder if this was the so-called retribution, but unfortunately no one would care about his thoughts.
