Chapter Eighty-Eight: Doubts?
The carriage traveled to a strange county town, what kind of place is this, Tang Yao is really not famous. Because the road was still long, Li Yanhan ordered someone to stop here and rest for the night, and then continue to walk. Unfortunately, there are only a few inns in this county, and even more unfortunately, these inns are all full.
The guards accompanying the Four Princes' Mansion entered the inn for a while, and when they came out, the little brother only whispered in Li Yanhan's ear, "The prince's room is full, and now there is only one room left." ”
In their wave of people, except for Tang Yao and Xuan Qing, Li Yanhan only brought three people with him. How can you squeeze six people into this room? Now the weather is also very cold, if you find a random place to spend the night, you will definitely catch a cold. Complaining is complaining, it's getting late, the county is small, and the inn is full, so they can't help it.
If you can make do with it, make do with it.
Knowing that the special treatment of this sleeping room can be enjoyed by the prince, she definitely doesn't, so she consciously stood up and said, "In this case, the fourth master will rest early, and Weichen will stay in the carriage for one night." After speaking, Tang Yao consciously walked out with Xuan Qing.
Looking at the somewhat thin carriage, Tang Yao wrapped the clothes on his body and was about to climb up the car. Xuan Qing stood under the car and said with some hesitation, "The temperature at night is low, can you do it with your thin body?" ”
Tang Yao knew what he wanted to say, so he joked, "What's this!" It's not me! ”
"Do you want to find a house and see if you can make up for the night?" Xuan Qing suggested.
Tang Yao waved his hand and said, "I really don't need to!" You go and get some thick futons, and we'll squeeze in the car at night. ”
Xuan Qing was stunned, he didn't expect Tang Yao to say this so bluntly, "You..."
Tang Yao thought that he didn't hear clearly, so he kindly explained, "If you don't squeeze the carriage with me, do you want to sleep on the road?" ”
"But... But..."
Xuan Qing seemed to want to say something, but was interrupted by Tang Yao's words, "Don't do it, hurry up and prepare something!" ”
A thick wooden plank that did not occupy a seat happened to block the middle of the carriage, separating Tang Yao and Xuan Qing from each other. Xuan Qing was on the outside of the carriage, Tang Yao was on the inside of the carriage, she looked at the wooden board a little speechlessly, and asked, "You... What are you?? ”
Xuan Qing sat there cross-legged, closed his eyes as if he was meditating and practicing, "After all, it's different, and it's better for your reputation to spread it." ”
Tang Yao has nothing to say, what else can she say! If this guy hadn't reminded herself, she would have almost forgotten her true identity as a 'male' officer! Tang Yao shrunk his neck and tried his best to wrap himself in the futon, and it didn't take long for him to wrap himself into a ball.
In the middle of the night, Tang Yao woke up from her sleep, she looked around the carriage a little blankly, Xuan Qing still sat there cross-legged and closed her eyes to recuperate, Tang Yao couldn't help but admire him a little. After holding one position for so long, don't you feel numb in your legs or something? Or is it that the function of people who practice martial arts is particularly powerful?
Anyway, if she keeps a position, her legs will definitely be numb. She stretched, but her movements suddenly stopped. On the quiet street, there should be no human voices. Why do you faintly hear the sound of many wheels pressing against the gravel road? Tang Yao concentrated on putting his ear close to the car window, and indeed heard a sound.
Who is this? Don't sleep at night, pick this hour to hurry? Tang Yao gently lifted the curtain, and wanted to take a look. Xuan Qing suddenly stretched out his hand to stop her, Tang Yao was puzzled, only to see Xuan Qing gesturing at her, signaling her not to make a sound.
For Xuan Qing's judgment, Tang Yao couldn't have trusted it more. After a long time, there was a sudden movement outside the carriage. Then they heard what seemed to be someone passing by their carriage and there whispering a whisper, very low, but faintly audible.
"How's the preparation going?"
"Everything is in order!"
"Well, the boss has been waiting in Luo City for many days, and we must arrive by tomorrow night."
"Little one got it!"
When the footsteps disappeared completely, Tang Yao breathed a sigh of relief. The two of them jumped out of the carriage, and there were no people and cars in the quiet streets around them! Tang Yao circled around the carriage, as if the stranger's conversation just now was just an illusion.
Seeing Xuan Qing kneeling on one knee on the ground in the southeast of the inn, Tang Yao walked over a little strangely, "What's the matter, Xuan Qing?" ”
"The mark on the earth is the mark of the departure of four wagons, which went in a south-easterly direction. And the conversation between the two of them just now, I thought it was strange. ”
Tang Yao took over and said, "Are you wondering, why are there people haunting in the middle of the night?" And the act of sneaking in a carriage made even me wonder. ”
Thinking of this, Tang Yao raised his hand and patted Xuan Qing's shoulder, "With your martial arts, what about those people who are above you?" ”
Xuan Qing was stunned, "There is no difficulty, what?" ”
"Let's go! Let's find out what's going on! ”
The moonlight gradually dimmed, and the whole county was in a quiet atmosphere. Four modest carriages slowly made their way to a backyard, and then two emaciated men jumped out of the carriage. Because of the distance, Tang Yao couldn't see the appearance of the person who opened the door at all, and only vaguely saw one of them, who was slightly tall, knocked on the door gently.
No one opened the door in the backyard, and the man who was slightly short waited at the door for a while, and suddenly there was a relatively regular knock on the wooden door. Knock knock.. Boom.. 'Knock knock' sounded like a code.
And then it seemed as if someone was echoing the knock on the door, 'Knock. Knock knock. There was a slight sound, and it seemed to come out of nowhere. The two of them stood outside the door with thieves and brains, and after a long while, the closed courtyard door was suddenly opened.
The same thief poked his head out of the crack in the door, "You guys are coming, no one is coming!" ”
"Hurry up and let Lao Tzu in, don't delay the goods!"
When the carriage was driven into the courtyard, the men looked around vigilantly again, and then closed the gate. Tang Yao and Xuan Qing walked out of the darkness, each looking at the courtyard thoughtfully, not knowing what they were thinking.
Tang Yao hesitated for a while, walked lightly to the outside of the backyard, jumped lightly and hugged a fairly thick tree, and flexibly climbed to the roof next to him with a force of his hands and feet. Xuan Qing knew what she was thinking, and with just a light step, she jumped on the roof lightly.
Tang Yao rolled her eyes at the sky, but she was helpless, she didn't know how to do martial arts, how could she drop! Hmph, that's just a reckless man's move! She is a Sven person, she doesn't do such rude things, and after comforting herself like this, Tang Yao felt less uncomfortable than Fang Cai.
