"You didn't even arrange these people?" Xiao Lian looked at Xiao Yan playfully.

The ghost face properly hid Xiao Yan's emotions, and Xiao Yan said calmly: "I said that before I found the ghost domain, I was friends with the prince. ”

Xiao Zhaowen walked over from the well, carrying a dead black cat in his hand. It was the one that the old grandmother was holding before.

Xiao Yan glanced at the black cat and said with some surprise: "That old grandmother didn't give this cat an antidote." ”

Xiao Zhaowen threw the black cat on the ground: "Not only that, but there are also two rats that died over there, and they died by drinking well water." ”

Xiao Lian looked at the main house with the lights on: "What about the old grandmother?" What's going on in the main house? ”

Xiao Yan shook his head: "I've been sitting here, and there is no sound in the main room." That old woman wasn't as old as she looked. She's not weak. ”

Xiao Lian frowned and said, "But she doesn't seem to have any bad intentions." At least she reminded us that the well water was not to drink. And this east house where we lived, which had been occupied by people before. ”

Xiao Zhaoxiu, who was on the side, also came over and said, "I've always felt strange. I have served in Jingzhou, and I have walked through this official road several times. I've never seen several inns on official roads closed. The post station is an official post, and if there is anything, it should be reported to the imperial court. But we didn't hear anything before we left. ”

Xiao Lian tidied up his bracers, and then untied the Burning Sun Sword and held it in his hand: "I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep tonight." Ji Shang, Huaishang, you go to rest first, and we'll change it in the middle of the night. ”

Xiao Zhaowen and Xiao Zhaoxiu were not hypocritical, knowing that they were afraid that there would be a tough battle to fight tonight, so they went into the house without saying a word.

When Xiao Zhaowen and Xiao Zhaoxiu walked into the house, Xiao Yan said softly: "What is the prince suspecting?" ”

Xiao Lian smiled appreciatively: "This king never thought that the ghost-faced Langjun was also my confidant." ”

Xiao Yan said noncommittally: "If there is a choice, the prince will not want to be on duty with me." ”

"You're self-aware." Xiao Lian drew a rough map in the snow: "I thought that even if I encountered an ambush, it was the person you arranged." But thinking about it, we are still nearly a day's journey away from Lu Liang, and it seems too early to do it now. What's more, although the mountain road here is narrow, there is the sun not far ahead. Zhuanyang is the realm of Zhou Panlong. And Zhou Panlong is not the person of King Jingling. ”

"So you're guessing that one of us has a problem?"

"I can only say that there is a possibility." Xiao Lian nodded a few points on the snow: "This is the post station we passed by today, there are five post stations." It is unlikely that these five stations will have an accident at the same time. So someone deliberately brought us here. ”

"Because it can't be a trap set by King Jingling, I am the least suspicious of these people. So now you're willing to stand with me. ”

"It's not." Xiao Lian said coldly.

Xiao Yan's eyebrows, hidden under the ghost's face, raised.

Xiao Lian continued: "The least suspicious is my wife, but she has to sleep, so I am standing here with you." ”

Xiao Yan was caught off guard by such a sentence and choked and coughed.

The two of them were guarding outside, and after a stick of incense, Cao Jingzhao also walked out. "Lord Wang, they are all asleep, I will sit outside with you."

As he spoke, the sound of horses' hooves was heard not far away. Cao Jingzhao lay on the ground and listened: "There are more people than us, about twenty people." ”

"This little room is very lively today." Xiao Lian poked Xiao Yan with his sword: "Eh, Xiao Gongzi, this king looks at your mask very well." Why don't you go to the front and scare them? ”

Xiao Yan said speechlessly: "There are many of them, I can't beat them." ”

As he spoke, a group of fur merchants approached the hut. This time, the old woman in the main house quickly came out, and the old woman asked in a hoarse voice, "Who are you?" ”

The leader of that group was a bearded man with a melon skin hat. The bearded man said in a rough voice, "We are here to spend the night." ”

The old woman waved her hand and said, "There are too many people to live." ”

The bearded man pointed to the east house: "Isn't there a room then?" ”

The old woman looked up: "Some people just came, and there are people living in that room." ”

Xiao Lian and the three of them sat at the door of the house with their heads bowed, pretending to be asleep.

The bearded man glanced at it and said reluctantly: "Old woman, then you let your house go and let us live." ”

The old woman raised her head a little panicked: "How can this work, the old body is just such a room......"

The bearded man unceremoniously jumped off his horse, pushed the old woman away, and went into the house on his own. The rest of the men were not polite, jumped off their horses, and followed the bearded man in. The old woman sighed, so she had to wrap her padded jacket tightly and walk towards the firewood room.

At the door of the east house, although Xiao Lian lowered his head, he kept watching the movement on the other side of the main house. It wasn't until all these people entered the main house that he wondered even more, weren't these people here to deal with them?

Cao Jingzhao also whispered: "These people don't look like businessmen. ”

Indeed, as Cao Jingzhao said, on the sixth day of the first lunar month, on such a day, where will there be businessmen on the road? What's more, the goods they brought were not right. It is true that there is nothing wrong with selling furs in winter, but ordinary merchants will start selling furs in early winter, and now that spring will begin in half a month, where will there be so many furs that have not been sold.

"Are these people still waiting for the right time to do it?"

Xiao Lian was so startled that he almost jumped up, and when he looked back, he didn't know how He Jingying had quietly walked out of the house. Xiao Lian raised his eyebrows: "Why don't you sleep?" ”

"I woke up when those people first came. There are a lot of them, if we start, do we have a chance of winning? ”

"It's hard to say." Xiao Lian replied. Not to mention that there were more people in that team than them, and that team was all men. Their team said that there were twelve people, among which Yang Minzhi and Yuan Geyu had no effort at all, and there was a half-old stinky boy Xiao Zhaocan, who only had the combat power of nine and a half people.

But the good thing is that those people don't have the intention of doing it yet.

"Let's wait and see what happens." Xiao Lian said.

These are two hours. The people on the other side of the main room seemed to be asleep, and there was no sound. Xiao Lian was even more strange. Did you miscalculate? These people aren't trying to do it against themselves?

Although I know that there is often danger behind such tranquility. But Xiao Lian's eyelids still involuntarily became heavy. In the confusion, only Yuan Geyu and He Jingying went out of the hut and went to the thatched house in the back room to relieve themselves. The night seemed to be spent in such peace, and there was a faint light in the sky.
