Chapter 53: The Post House
With a stomach full of doubts, Nan Li'er didn't talk to Jue again, anyway, the coming day will be long, and there will always be a time to understand.
Fortunately, the wind and sand were not too big along the way, and according to the normal speed of travel, they walked out of the desert before dawn.
After avoiding the height of the morning at an abandoned ancient city site, they marched forward for half a day and arrived at a post station.
This is the place where Jue and Han Qingluo agreed to meet.
After a night's journey, Nan Li'er felt a little tired, and after seeing the post house, she couldn't wait to turn off the camel's back, untie the cloth strips full of dust and dust, and push open the door of the post house.
Jue followed her footsteps and followed into the post house.
As soon as you enter the inn, you will be greeted by several old tables and chairs, among which there are a few guys from other places.
Although they were dressed in the same way as the locals, Nan Lier still accurately judged their identity from the eyes of the locals.
Nan Li'er casually glanced at the people in the room, put the strip of cloth in his hand on the hook at the door, and then, with a leisurely step, found a vacant place in a corner and sat down.
"Mr. Jue, here!"
She raised her hand, shook it, and greeted Jue standing at the door.
Jue glanced at the table of people at the door, then looked at Nan Li'er, walked over, and sat down opposite it.
"Is this the killer the boss found?"
Just as they were seated, a man wrapped in brown and white cloth whispered to his companion in the table near the door.
I saw a burly masked man beside him, glancing slightly in the direction of the corner, and was turning his face: "Tsk, how do I feel unreliable!" ”
Listening to the whispers of his companions, a petite figure sitting directly opposite, his only exposed blue eyes moved.
He only glanced indifferently at Nan Li'er in the corner, then moved his gaze back, lowered his eyelashes directly, stared at the empty table, and did not say anything.
At this time, a companion sitting beside him noticed his strange appearance, his faint light purple eyes, deliberately glanced at him, leaned back slightly, and quipped in a whisper that only the two of them could hear: "I think the woman next to him is very beautiful, what do you think?" ”
With these provocative words in his ears, the blue-eyed little man immediately glanced at his companion, raised his elbow, and stabbed the gloating goods hard, telling his companion with practical actions that he was very unhappy!
He deliberately lowered his voice, and coldly spit out an indignant word from between his teeth: "Don't speak, no one treats you as a mute!" ”
Holding his slightly aching waist, the guy with light purple eyes still had a joke in his eyes, and continued to provoke: "Don't worry, to be honest, you were beaten, you were really wronged!" ”
“……”
In the face of the provocation of the light purple eyes, the blue-eyed little man was too lazy to take care of him, so he simply put his hands on the table, supported his chin with his palms, tilted his head, and looked like he loved it.
"Shh
Under the heavy face towel, there was a faint sneer, and the guy with light purple eyes floated his gaze leisurely in the direction of the corner, and said to himself: "This kind of beauty is the most beautiful I have ever seen in my life!" If you have the chance, you must take a good look at it. ”
At this moment, another figure with blue eyes stood up from the other side and approached the little man.
Of course, the little man noticed him, and immediately moved vigorously to the side, trying to give up a little position, and just happened to push the purple eyes next to him, who were falling into self-absorption, off the stool.
"Bang", in the small post house, the masked purple-eyed man fell off the bench defenselessly, his hands on the ground, and his knees kneeling, very embarrassed and embarrassed.
He was about to raise his hair to fire, but in the next second, he met a pair of brown eyes full of charm, and Nan Li'er in the corner was looking this way, obviously attracted by this little episode.
"Are you alright?"
The little man glanced at his purple eyes, and his tone was full of schadenfreude.
Purple eyes propped himself up, patted the ashes off his hands, glanced at him, gritted his teeth and said "It's okay", then walked around the table and sat on the other side.
The gaze that fell on the opposite side only stopped for a short time, and Nan Li'er turned his gaze to Jue beside him, and his attention at this time was also attracted by the person at the table at the door.
Following his gaze, Nan Li'er's gaze quickly locked on one of the little men with blue eyes, and with her years of knowledge of people, she could tell at a glance that he was a woman.
Her eyes moved, looked at Jue, and said deliberately: "Do you know the visitors at that table?" ”
Jue looked at Nan Li'er and shook his head: "No, you think too much." ”
Nan Li'er let out a thoughtful "oh", her eyes wandered back and forth on the group of visitors and Jue opposite, and said tentatively: "Then I'll set off again at dusk, just take advantage of this beautiful moment to taste some game." ”
As she spoke, a dark red quietly appeared in her eyes staring at the little man, and Nan Li'er could clearly detect that the little man was a human being, and it happened that in this inn, apart from her, she didn't seem to be able to find a better and more suitable prey.
She may not have enjoyed human blood in a long time, and sucking her just happened to be the jackpot to celebrate her assassination journey.
"Whatever."
Jue opened his mouth indifferently, and in the pupils that turned black in order to hide his identity, he was not shocked, and he did not show any flaws because of Nan Li'er's temptation.
Looking at Jue's uninteresting and cold appearance, Nan Li'er dispelled the suspicions in her heart, and suddenly felt bored when she thought that she would part ways with her employer soon.
She showed a pitiful appearance, staring at Jue, who was calm to death: "Are you really going to break up at the post station?" Although you guy is quite boring, but I am so lonely on the road alone! ”
“……”
Seeing that Jue didn't respond, Nan Li'er continued to entangle: "Anyway, we have to meet in three days, why do you have to do this extra thing, we should separate in advance at the post station, it's better to be together!" ”
"Just follow the agreed plan, meet in the small town in three days, don't talk nonsense!"
Jue gave a cold look, and stopped Nan Li'er's hand that wanted to reach over, she snorted arrogantly, sat back, and was indignant in her heart, thinking that it wasn't for the fact that this employer's blood was too tempting for her, so she didn't bother to take care of him, a cold guy!
It has always been other men who have come to slap her, and she has won her favor as a cow and a horse, but now it is good, the big employer has met it, but the temperament is not very pleasant.
But who made her hungry for his blood?
If you are angry, you have to endure it, after all, you just received a ten-ounce "deposit" from your employer yesterday!
Their Asamai blood clan is a professional bloodsucker, as long as the goal is achieved, what are the other small shames?
Over there, Nan Lier was making her own little calculations.
Here, at the table near the door, the group of outsiders did not move after that, except for the small episode that had just happened, and only sat quietly, as if they were napping.
Through the wooden door, the sound of the wind and sand outside tends to become louder and louder, and some sand and dust are swept into the house by the strong wind from the gap under the door.
For a while, the strong sound of wind and sand outside highlighted the silence in the inn.
Under the collision of the two extreme atmospheres, Nan Li'er, who had been suppressed for a long time, couldn't help frowning, she looked at Jue worriedly, and muttered in a low voice: "According to this trend, I'm afraid there will be a big sandstorm at night, maybe ...... I can't go to Rock City today. ”
Listening to the whistling sound of sand and dust outside, Jue also realized that Nan Li'er was afraid that he would not be able to leave the post station tonight, so he and Han Qingluo and his companions at the adjacent table would not be able to meet as usual.
Putting down the worry in his eyes, Jue remained calm, and his mouth was still in that calm tone: "Wait a little longer, maybe it will be small in the evening." ”
Hearing this, Nan Li'er let out an "ah" in a little frustration, and her hand unconsciously fell on the back of Jue's hand, and said aggrievedly: "You want to drive me away so much?" ”
Nan Li'er's unintentional touch made Jue's brows frown inadvertently, and he quickly put away the hand on the table, and a trace of gloom and panic could be seen in those eyes alone.
Nan Li'er was also taken aback by his exaggerated reaction, her lips moved, and finally she closed her mouth abruptly, thinking that he was so evasive about himself, and he was indifferent in the face of her very seductive posture, could it be that he liked men?
Immediately, he moved to the side in a cold manner, and said no more.
The suppressed anger and the inexplicable panic were intertwined, making Jue feel at a loss.
He subconsciously looked at the table at the door, and happened to meet the blue eyes that glanced at him, and for a moment, those eyes seemed to avoid colliding with him.
Finished!
Jue, who was as calm as him, was also in a mess at this time, secretly complaining to himself, the scene just now should have been seen by Luo, otherwise she would not be so anxious to avoid his sight.
The last glance, as if there was still a little resentment, made him feel panicked, and something was wrong.
Since she had a hunch of Zack's feelings for him, Jue was very concerned about Luo's opinion of him, if he was misunderstood again, wouldn't he have to have another cold war?
This is not the situation he wants to face, the emotions of the two of them are deeply pierced by an irresolvable thorn, if there are others, no matter how strong his strength is, in the face of emotion, he can't turn the tide!
It's really hard to love a word!
In order to prevent Nan Li'er from becoming suspicious and affecting the plan, Jue temporarily pretended not to know them, if she found out that there were other people besides her employer.
Then, Nan Lier will definitely be suspicious, and according to the strength of their guardian team, if they want to deal with a Giovanni, it will naturally be no problem.
However, in terms of gathering intelligence and concealing their whereabouts, the group is certainly not as strong as a professional killer.
If Nan Li'er realized that the purpose of their search was not to assassinate her, but to use her to track the target and act as a pawn to find the way, then she would definitely terminate the contract.
Besides, she is also one of their targets, and this kind of situation of being used by others to manipulate her, presumably Nan Li'er will not accept it willingly.
