Chapter 185: Into the City
Fang Mengru is actually a simple and direct person, in her eyes, black is black, white is white, good is good, and evil is evil. She didn't quite understand why the 'good guys' in her eyes were involved with the 'bad guys' in her eyes, just as she didn't understand how powerful those people who had connections in both black and white were.
But Fang Mengru didn't understand it, but it didn't mean that Murong Jun and the others didn't understand either, at least as early as the first time she saw Meng Yi, Lin Yingxue had already realized that Meng Yi was not a simple character.
Lin Yingxue and the others followed Meng Yi to another inn, and met those 'old acquaintances' they had seen earlier in the inn.
"I thought it was hard to get a big vote, but I didn't expect it to be your friend of the Meng Pavilion Master, it's really a disappointment! These are your things, you order them yourself! The one who spoke was the strong man who had chased and beaten the boy on the street, according to Meng Yi, this person's name was Gao Zhuang, and he was sitting on the chair with a grin, pointing to the burden on the table with a displeased face and saying to Lin Yingxue.
"You've stolen our things and are so arrogant, I've never seen someone as cheeky as you!" Fang Mengru already had a bad impression of this group of people, but at this time, when she saw Gao Zhuang's arrogant appearance, she was even more angry.
"You little girl, how can you talk!" When Gao Zhuang heard this, he bounced up from his chair at once, "I only returned the things to you for the sake of Lord Meng Ge's face, don't be ignorant here!" ”
"You don't know what to do......"
"Eh, don't argue with the two of you......"
Fang Mengru has a straight temperament, and there is no room for sand in her eyes, and the two quarrel as soon as they come and go, Feng Wanjin, a middle-aged man who pretended to be the shopkeeper of the inn before, hurriedly went up to persuade the two, but Lin Yingxue did not pay attention to the scene over there, but turned her eyes to search around, and finally stopped her eyes on the little boy who was sitting in the corner without saying a word.
"What's the origin of that little boy?" As long as Lin Yingxue thought of the snake in the boy's eyes, she couldn't help but feel a chill on her back.
"He is an orphan, we don't know where he came from, we only know that he was born with different pupils, and I don't know who once taught him special exercises, when he exercises, anyone who sees his eyes will have a splitting headache, we once saw with our own eyes a person who wanted to kill him ended up bleeding to death in front of him." Feng Wanjin didn't know when he walked to Lin Yingxue's side, and explained to Lin Yingxue with a solemn expression.
According to what Feng Wanjin said, this kid was merciful to them yesterday? Lin Yingxue frowned and looked at the boy a few more times, but no matter how she looked at it, the boy looked extremely ordinary.
After some commotion, several people finally sat quietly around the dinner table.
"We didn't know in advance that a few of them were friends of Lord Meng Ge, and we were offended a lot last night, so we hope that a few of them won't take it to heart. This glass of wine is considered to be an atonement, I will do it first as a respect! Feng Wanjin should be the leader among these people, and his speech is smooth and sophisticated, but three or two sentences eased the originally somewhat embarrassing atmosphere.
When the others heard Feng Wanjin say this, no matter what they thought in their hearts, they still took the wine glass on the table and drank it all with great dignity.
Seeing that Fang Mengru put down the wine glass, she still seemed to be a little displeased, Feng Wanjin pondered for a moment and then continued: "A few people who came here should want to go to Xiangguo, right?" ”
The fact that they were going to Xiangguo couldn't be hidden, so Lin Yingxue and the others didn't hide it, but nodded frankly.
Expected answer. Feng Wanjin touched his long beard, frowned and continued: "The border with this city is the territory of the Xiang State, but the relationship between the two countries is tense now, and both the Rong State and the Xiang State are very strict in the investigation of the people entering and leaving...... So, how many of you have figured out how to enter the city? ”
Feng Wanjin's words can be regarded as to the point, Lin Yingxue shook her head, "I haven't figured out how to enter the city yet, I don't know what advice Mr. Feng has?" ”
From the moment Meng Yi rushed to visit these people as soon as he entered the city, he knew that these people must not be simple, but Lin Yingxue did not take a shelf, but humbly asked for advice.
Feng Wanjin saw that Lin Yingxue spoke politely and knew how to judge the situation, and a flash of appreciation flashed in his eyes, "Actually, if you really want to talk about entering the city, there are really some means...... Since we were offended a lot yesterday, those few people might as well prepare, and when the time comes, I will take a few of them into the city, which can be regarded as making amends for yesterday's offense. ”
The matter of entering the city was solved so easily, Lin Yingxue couldn't help but turn her head to look at Meng Yi who was drinking quietly on the side while being overjoyed - she was not a fool, she naturally knew that the reason why Feng Wanjin and the others were so polite to them was completely for Meng Yi's face.
Sometimes Lin Yingxue felt that Meng Yi was like a layer of fog on his body, so mysterious that people couldn't see the essence clearly...... I don't know how Fang Mengru knew such a person. Lin Yingxue took a sip of the wine and drank it gently, looking thoughtful.
In order to make the Liu family feel at ease, Lin Yingxue brought a lot of people with her when she came out this way, not counting the people brought out by Murong Jun and Fang Mengru, but it was naturally impossible to bring so many people into Hunan this time, so the only ones who really followed Feng Wanjin into the city the next day were Lin Yingxue, Fang Mengru and Murong Jun, as for the other attendants, except for Leng Yue and those secret guards with strong martial arts who tried to enter the city to make peace with Lin Yingxue and others, the other ordinary attendants all stayed in this city, Wait until they come back from their errands, and then bring them back.
"Eh, you, come here!" Because after passing the city in front of you is the boundary of Hunan Kingdom, the inspection at the city gate is particularly strict. Lin Yingxue and the others were mixed in the crowd, and when they lined up to enter the city gate, there were no less than twenty people in front of them who were either stopped at the door or taken away for inspection.
"Did you go into the city again today to deliver medicinal herbs?" Along the way, it was finally Lin Yingxue's turn and the others, watching the guards and Feng Wanjin's familiar conversation, Lin Yingxue finally knew why Feng Wanjin was able to pack tickets and say that he could bring them all into the city.
"Yo, today is Lord Liu's duty!" While the guards on the side were inspecting the boxes of medicinal herbs they had brought with their carts, Feng Wanjin hurriedly nodded and walked to the side to greet a thin guard.
"Well, I remember that it hasn't been long since you last went into the city to deliver medicinal herbs, why did you enter the city again? Also, how did your guy change? The guard was obviously extremely familiar with Feng Wanjin, but he just swept it casually and found that something was wrong.
Long before deciding to take Lin Yingxue and the others into the city, Feng Wanjin had already expected such a situation to happen, yes, there was no panicked look on his face at this time.
"Official, I can't hide it-" Feng Wanjin took out a piece of silver from his sleeve and quickly stuffed it into the guard's hand, and at the same time leaned into the guard's ear and lowered his voice: "This is another private job to hide from my owner, so I didn't dare to use the owner's people, and the official is convenient." ”
Feng Wanjin's words were low and fast, and the people on the side had not even noticed the abnormality, and the guard had already weighed the weight of the silver, and received the silver in his arms with a smile.
"Okay, we're all old acquaintances, I'm still ......"
"Drive!" Before the guard could finish speaking, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and everyone couldn't help but turn their heads to look behind them in unison.
The others were okay, they just wanted to see who the person who didn't get off the horse at the gate of the city was, but after Lin Yingxue glanced at it, she hurriedly withdrew her gaze and lowered her head.
I hope the man doesn't find her...... Lin Yingxue really didn't expect that they had not yet stepped into the realm of Hunan Kingdom, and they met Xu Jingsheng at the gate of the city. It's not that she hasn't fought with Xu Jingsheng before, if Xu Jingsheng finds out about her, then they will be in danger.
However, Xu Jingsheng's sensitivity exceeded Lin Yingxue's expectations, and he originally planned to leave after showing his waist card, but he didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, so he glanced in the direction where Lin Yingxue and the others were.
This glance made Lin Yingxue's heart rise to her throat at once, but fortunately, in order to enter the city smoothly, they were all dressed in disguise, and now they look like ordinary people from the outside.
Yes, Xu Jingsheng just glanced at it twice and rode into the city without looking back.
