Chapter 116: Striking the Grass and Startling the Snake
Thinking about it like this, Blue Baby suddenly felt that he should cherish the peaceful time of these few days, maybe there will be no more in the future.
In the time when the blue baby was frightened and ridiculed himself, the government finally found out a little eyebrows.
When Wu Tong and Lan Baobao talked about this, Yan Dudu had already been invited by His Royal Highness to the Assassin's Mansion.
"Captain Tang's family has been found?" Blue Baby confirmed in surprise.
"Yes, they had already moved out of Guangling City a few years ago, and after that, they didn't seem to have any contact with Captain Tang, but they were just trying to hide their eyes. This time, after they heard the news of Captain Tang's death, Captain Tang's wife couldn't stand it. ”
"After a few words when she was emotionally out of control, our people listened to it strangely, so they asked again, and the Tang family insisted that it was Yan Dudu who killed people and killed people."
"Kill people? What do they know, is it related to the case of Goshisan? Blue Baby asked?
Wutong shook his head, "If they knew something, I'm afraid they wouldn't be alive now." When Captain Tang sent them away, he didn't explain too much, just to better protect them. ”
They trusted Captain Tang, so they didn't ask, but they actually understood it in their hearts. If it weren't for some kind of threat, who would have sent their family away. And Captain Tang is highly regarded by the strict governors, and I am afraid that there is only this person who can really threaten him in Luowu. ”
"Based on speculation and suspicion, I'm afraid that I can't help Yan Dudu." Baby Sapped with a little disappointment.
Wu Tong nodded in agreement, "So I can only invite people to go and ask a few words to go through the motions, which can be regarded as a warning." ”
Warning? Did His Highness deliberately startle the snake and want the other party to mess up first?
While the two were talking, someone ran over and handed over a letter, which His Highness had asked someone to send back.
Wutong and Blue Baby glanced at each other, and a trace of suspicion flashed in each other's eyes, but the person who sent the letter was a chamberlain in the palace, so there should be no problem.
When the blue baby wanted to open the letter, he was stopped by Wutong, "I'll come." ”
Baby Sblue shrugged his shoulders and handed him the letter.
Wu Tong unfolded the letter, quickly read the content of the letter, and his expression gradually became serious.
"What's wrong? What's on the letter? Blue Baby took the letter from him curiously, and when she read it, she was a little excited.
"Shall we leave now, then?" She asked excitedly.
After being idle in the post station for so long, now that they can finally come in handy and contribute to the case, can they not be excited.
"Take advantage of it now, there is His Royal Highness dragging Yan Dudu, let's go quickly." Wutong nodded at her.
The two men did not even pack up their salutes, but drove the carriage with the money, and hurried out of the city.
This time, Errao's destination is in a mountain on the southern border, called Yuxiao Mountain.
This mountain is very unique, two-thirds is in the northern imperial country, and one-third is in the southern country.
The mountain is guarded by soldiers from both countries, and no one wants to cross the thunder pond for half a step.
And the task of Blue Baby and Wutong to go to Yuxiao Mountain is to find people.
Fortunately, the Weiyun City and Guangling City where the Jade Xiao Mountain is located are not too far away, and the two drove overnight, and finally arrived at the foot of the Jade Xiao Mountain at dawn the next day.
Due to the special circumstances of the mountain, both countries have expressly stipulated that mining on the mountain is voluntarily not permitted.
It is because although this mountain is rich, no one dares to pay attention to it.
Because of this, there are very few people who come to Yuxiao Mountain, unless it is the annual season of hiding, you can see some popularity on the mountain.
As for normal times, except for a few retail households on the mountain, only the soldiers guarding the hill walked back and forth.
Blue Baby and Wutong lingered at the foot of the mountain for a while, and were about to go to the neighborhood to find someone to inquire about the situation in the mountain, when they happened to see a man walking from not far away.
He was about thirty or forty years old, dressed in long trousers and short shirts, and was surrounded by a bamboo basket behind him, which could be vaguely seen containing various vegetables.
When he saw the blue baby and Wutong's eyes, he couldn't help but slow down his pace, observing them as he walked.
Wu Tong stepped forward and said to the visitor: "This brother, please stay." ”
The man hesitated to stop in front of them and returned the salute.
"Dare to ask if there are any residents on this mountain?" Wutong asked with a smile.
Nanru nodded, indicating that he lived on the mountain, "Are you two here to find Rao?" ”
"Yes, I don't know if there is a family surnamed Qin on this mountain?"
As soon as Wu Tong finished asking, a hint of surprise flashed on the blue baby's face, but he quickly concealed it.
"There are not many households on the mountain, but there are families surnamed Qin." The man nodded again.
"I don't know where in the mountains?" Wutong asked.
The man didn't answer immediately, and there was a slight suspicion on his face again.
Wu Tong explained with a smile: "We came to visit relatives, but because we haven't been in contact for many years, when we came, we found that we couldn't find the way. ”
The man slowly put away the suspicion on his face and smiled apologetically, "Don't blame the two of you, the area around Yuxiao Mountain is always not peaceful, that's why you are so careful." ”
Wu Tong expressed understanding.
The man led them into the mountain, walked up the mountain for a while, and when he passed a fork, the man pointed to the left and said, "The two of you have been walking along this road, and when you reach the top of the mountain, you can see a family, and that is the Qin family." ”
"Brother Tai knows the situation in this mountain so well, and I have to bother Brother Tai to guide us the way, you can rest assured, the reward ......"
The man smiled and waved his hand and explained, "Our family lives in a cluster, and the road in the mountains has long been clear. Besides, there are only a few families in this mountain, so naturally they all have some impressions. ”
The man breathed a sigh of relief and said, "My wife and children are still waiting for dinner, I'm afraid I won't be able to guide the two of you." You just have to follow this road, and don't turn into the fork in the road, and you won't go the wrong way. ”
"Then thank you, farewell." Wu Tong bowed to the man.
The man bowed and nodded at them.
After seeing Nan Rao's figure disappear into the distant bend, Lan Bao and Wu Tong turned around and walked up the mountain road on the left.
Yuxiao Mountain is neither high nor short, the mountain is not steep, and there are paths carved out on the mountain, so it is not difficult to climb the mountain.
They had climbed up for less than a stick of incense when they saw a soldier in armor walking across from them.
The soldier was slightly stunned when he saw the two strangers, so he took the initiative to meet them and interrogate them.
Blue Baby is rarely interrogated like this, so he is a little panicked, and instinctively retreats behind Wutong.
Wu Tong was calm, answering the other party's interrogation smoothly, without any flaws.
The soldier finally believed that they were here to look for their relatives, but said, "There is no one surnamed Qin here, but you have gone to the wrong mountain?" ”
"I made a mistake just now, not with the surname Qin, but with the surname Jin." Wu Tong clapped his hands and laughed awkwardly.
"Surname Jin?" The soldier thought for a while, and then suddenly said, "He lives on another hill, and you have gone the other way, and there are no residents on this hill." ”
Blue Baby quietly tugged at Wutong's clothes.
"Hey, look at my memory, I've got the wrong way. Thank you for the reminder, let's take our leave. Wu Tong laughed again.
The soldier kindly accompanied them back the way they came, and then went to the fork in the road, pointed in the direction where the man had disappeared, and said, "Go along the mountain road, there will be inhabitants on the way, and they will guide you." ”
"Thank you, sir." Utong thanked the soldier again.
After a few words of advice, the soldier went down the mountain.
Lan Baobao hurriedly patted Wutong's arm and said, "It seems that we have been deceived, there must be something wrong with that man just now." You deliberately gave us the wrong surname, but he still showed us the way, obviously with bad intentions. ”
"I'm afraid we've already startled the snake." Wutong sighed and pulled the blue baby down the hill, "That person deliberately pointed the wrong way, trying to break us away so that he could escape." ”
is really cunning, otherwise Yan Dudu would not dare to use him.
Lan Baobao's physical strength is not very good, and she will only drag her feet when she catches people, so she withdrew her hand and said, "You go to chase people first, and then we will meet at the inn." ”
Wu Tong understood her situation, nodded directly, and accelerated down the mountain.
The blue baby walked down the mountain road, and when he reached the bottom of the mountain, Wutong was nowhere to be seen.
When they came, they left the carriage at an inn next to the official road.
According to the cluster, it is not too far, at most a stick of incense away.
Blue Baby walked back to the inn again, and at this hour, the official road was already full of cars and horses, and there were many people sitting in the lobby of the inn.
Blue Baby asked for a room to go in and wait, and was very worried that he would let people go, and he was also worried that Wutong would be injured.
After waiting for more than an hour, there was a sudden knock on the door outside.
She hurriedly ran over to open the door, and was pleasantly surprised to see Wutong standing outside, but there was no one else around.
"Lost?" She hurriedly let someone in and asked.
Wutong wiped his sweat and laughed, "I almost lost it." ”
The blue baby asked in surprise, "What about the others?" ”
"The soldier brother from before is detained, I'll come to you, let's leave immediately." Wutong Road.
"Okay."
The two went downstairs to settle the bill, and soon drove the carriage up the official road.
"You just now, the soldier on the mountain helped detain it?" Blue Baby asked, leaning on the side of the car door.
Wu Tong explained: "I met him when I was going down the mountain, I identified him, and we worked together to catch the person. ”
"Is it reliable?" Lan Baobao is a little worried, this place also belongs to the boundary of the dock, and there is no guarantee that the people in the cluster are not in the same stream.
"Don't worry, General Cheng, who is stationed in the cluster, has served under His Royal Highness, and I also know his personality, and I will never be in the same league with these people." Wu Tong reassured.
"That's good." Lan Baobao breathed a sigh of relief, and said strangely: "Why didn't Your Highness ask this General Cheng for help?" ”
Thinking that Guangling City was so short of manpower, she had to be curious.
"The border towns must not be neglected for a moment, these soldiers are used to guard the peace of the frontier." Wutong is colored.
Blue Baby smiled apologetically, "It's me who didn't think it through. ”
Clustered adjacent to Cangnan Kingdom, if the other party has a change, and this side cannot detect it in time, it will inevitably cause immeasurable losses, no wonder His Royal Highness does not borrow people from General Cheng.
While the two were talking, the carriage had already driven to a tea shed on the side of the road.
Wutong got out of the car and took the unconscious man from the soldier's hand, and after carrying the man into the carriage with the help of the soldier, the soldier took his leave.
In order to avoid further accidents on the road, Blue Baby found a rope to tie people up.
The two of them hadn't rested since yesterday afternoon, in fact, they had been sleepy and hungry for a long time, but no one proposed to rest.
Wu Tong drove the carriage all the way, and finally returned to Guangling City before dark.
After entering the city, they did not return to the post station, but went straight to the Assassin's Mansion.
His Royal Highness has written in the letter, and he can delay Yan Dudu for two days at most, in order to avoid long nights and dreams, some things still need to be resolved quickly.
Jin Yaofeng had woken up a long time ago, but because his hands and feet were tied, his mouth was also blocked, and he was powerless to struggle at all.
When he was carried by Wu Tong and thrown at Jin Lingluo's feet, he no longer had the panic he had at the beginning, and he was thinking about how to defend himself later.
Unexpectedly, when he faced a pair of sharp and cold eyes, his original form was suddenly revealed, and the six gods lowered their heads without a master, and their eyes kept turning around.
