209 Whereabouts Exposed
Only then did everyone close Dong Bawang in the hut, and they saw the innkeeper and the little man smiling and holding the food box outside the courtyard.
"How did you get here?" As soon as Liao Yong turned around, he saw the innkeeper looking inside.
The innkeeper saw that a group of them were standing in the courtyard, and he didn't know if there was something wrong, and he didn't dare to disturb, and finally waited until someone was talking to him, and then he walked in with a flattering smile.
"Master...... It's not ...... Dong Ye came over just now, when we entered the door, let's prepare some food and drink, this kitchen has already been done, I don't know if Dong Ye is going to use it here, or is it going to be taken away......"
Hearing this, He Xuan was shocked, but he didn't expect that this Dong Bawang's greed had helped him a lot! Right now, how should I reply to the boss's words?
Liao Yong's reaction was faster, he leaned towards the innkeeper's side, and mysteriously lowered his voice and said, "You just leave things here for us, starling is using us to block our eyes!" The others quietly walked from behind early in the morning......"
"Gone?"
The boss was a little surprised, could this Dong Ye slip away from the door of the inn from anywhere else? That's not his character! This person, where is he afraid that others will not know him, what is the matter now?
Looking at the suspicion on the boss's face, Liao Yong knew that his lie was not perfect. However, it can only continue now.
"This ...... None of us men want to do something quietly, do we? Boss! Liao Yong went to the boss's side again, and said with a malicious smile.
The boss nodded, and didn't ask anything more. At this moment, his gaze swept over a person's face...... He asked Xiao Er to put down the food box, and then retreated with someone.
Looking at the boss's back, Liao Geng came over and asked, "Brother, you say, how much can he trust you?" ”
"Every point is a lot." Liao Yong said, turned around, bowed to the emperor, and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid I can't stay here for a long time." Ziqing has not yet come back, although these guards are all elite soldiers, but they can't bear the overwhelming number of people here. As the saying goes, a good man doesn't suffer immediate losses. Let's step back, you see......"
"If you're afraid that the boss will talk nonsense, wouldn't it be nice to tie him up too!" Wenxi said.
"Don't mess around. You've tied up a boss, and you've tied up all the guys? Even if they are all tied, can all the customers in this store be tied? That's a robber! He Xuan said with a smile.
Listening to their words, Zuo Junzhong looked at the emperor, who did not have a single color on his face at this time, and he couldn't tell whether he was worried or angry.
"The Emperor's ......"
"No, we'd better stay here."
"But ......"
"If we stay here, we will have many people who will not have to go to the trouble of looking for us, and we will not have to work hard to hide. Wouldn't that be nice? ”
After saying this, the emperor turned around and went back to the house, and Fuhai followed in, leaving only the people in the courtyard looking at each other.
"What should I do?" Liao Geng looked at the others blankly and asked.
"What can I do? If he was really just an old man, it would be fine, He Xuan knocked him unconscious at once, and we put him in the carriage and left. But he's not......" Liao Yong said with a sigh.
"Do your best, let it be the fate of heaven. I hope Ziqing will be back soon. Zuo Junzhong said.
Their estimation is not wrong at all, this inn is actually Qiu Shi's business, naturally, he himself does not have the capital, this is the last time he did things for Yun Zhen, Yun Zhen gave it to him. The boss stabilized the people in this courtyard with his front feet, turned around and sent someone to report to the yamen.
If it's just a Dong Bawang disappearing, it's not a big deal, this guy is lustful and gambling, and it is not once or twice that he disappears out of thin air for no reason, and it will naturally appear when the silver runs out. However, the face that appeared in the courtyard that he had never seen in this group of people really made the boss very suspicious.
Although this boss is not very literate, he has a strong memory for people's faces. He remembered that the face was a little different, but it was indeed the portrait he saw in the old man's house.
After receiving the report from the innkeeper, Qiu Shi's wine, which had not fully sobered up, suddenly sobered up.
"Are you sure?" Qiu Shi asked.
"The shopkeeper said it, it's definitely right."
"How long have they been here?"
"Counting the days, there are three or five days."
"Three or five days? So why did you come and report it? ”
"I heard from the shopkeeper that when they came, they didn't see that person, and if we hadn't suddenly entered the courtyard today, I'm afraid we wouldn't have seen him. If you haven't been hiding somewhere and haven't seen anyone, you must have put on makeup or something! ”
Hearing this, Qiu Shi nodded, and scolded in his heart, those bastards! Except for the fact that you can usually snatch from the hands of the common people, there is no use for fart!
"Okay, you go first, tell the shopkeeper, quietly, don't reveal anything. I've got some people with me, and I'll be right over. ”
"Yes."
In response to Qiu Shi's words, the guy hurriedly ran back to the inn.
He Xuan has been paying attention to the movement outside, on this day, outside the door of their small courtyard, there are people walking around, He Xuan can see that at the beginning, the people who come and go should be the people in this courtyard. Because these people themselves look familiar.
Yumo was sent by He Xuan to buy things on the street, and when he came back, he quietly told He Xuan that he had been followed by people along the way, and when he came back, he saw that there were many guests who were leaving here.
He Xuan nodded, it seems that Qiu Shi is ready to do it.
After dinner, He Xuan went to the door again to observe, the noise outside was completely gone, but outside his courtyard, there were still some small footsteps. He Xuan took a look, these people were no longer the shopkeepers he had seen before......
"Guarded."
When He Xuan left, he said to the guards.
Back in the house, He Xuan's heart went up and down, she took out her blade, sat under the lamp and wiped it slowly. This blade has never seen human blood all along, but tonight, it seems that this rule is about to be broken.
"Why is it so quiet outside?" Liao Yong didn't know when he was already standing outside the door, looking at He Xuan's thoughtful appearance, and asked softly.
"Isn't it always said that the sea is always very calm when there is going to be a storm. Just like now, the silence makes people feel a little suffocated. ”
"You ......"
Liao Yong wanted to comfort He Xuan a few words, but when the words came to his mouth, he couldn't say it at all. What do you want her to do? So that she is not worried? Not to mention her, even if it is herself, at this time, she feels that her heart is up and down, and she can't have a moment of peace at all. Let her watch out for her own safety? If you protect yourself, then you would rather be hurt or die than let her be hurt in the slightest. But tonight, this group of people, the person to protect is the emperor!
"Let's go."
Liao Yong was in a daze, but heard He Xuan say to himself.
"Where are you going?"
He Xuan didn't answer him, but asked, "Did you bring that needle box?" ”
"Brought it."
"Go get it."
Liao Yong nodded, accompanied by He Xuan, took the needle box, and brought it a few times without tying it, He Xuan did not speak, silently put the thorn aside, and then helped Liao Yong tie the needle box with his own hands.
"Remember, you have to protect the emperor well, and you have to protect yourself well. I have asked Yumo, Yuqing, and Qiaozhi to prepare a carriage. If the situation is not good, stun the emperor with a needle, and then you escort him away. All the guards, I have divided them into two shifts, one is with me, guarding the door, and the other is guarding you. I'm probably safer than you are. Into the mortal, I ......"
Without waiting for He Xuan to continue, Liao Yong took He Xuan in his arms.
"Don't say anything that makes me sound harsh. It was just a small turmoil, and it passed quickly. If you look at that king, don't you know how many of their colors can be? ”
He Xuan smiled and replied in a low voice: "For such a thing, let's plan for the worst." If you really think too much, it doesn't hurt; But if you don't think about it thoroughly, when the time comes, I'm afraid that it will be too late for you to regret it. ”
Liao Yong nodded, then looked at He Xuan and said, "Wait until you go back." Just go and resign. This time, I can't continue to mess around with your temperament no matter what. I really have to live a few years less on such a day. ”
"Don't talk nonsense."
"Then you'll have to do what I say."
He Xuan nodded and replied, "This is the last time." Okay? ”
Liao Yong nodded, and wanted to speak, but heard the guard outside the door report: "The emperor invites the two of you to come over." ”
Liao Yong replied, "Come now", then shook He Xuan's hand, hid the needle box on his wrist, He Xuan also took the blade from the table, and the two left the room.
When he came to the house, he heard Wen Xi ask, "Your Majesty, why don't you show your identity." If you show your identity, are you still afraid of the Qipin County Order in that district? ”
"Now you can't even show your identity. If they didn't show their identities, maybe they wouldn't have used the murderous machine, but now their actions are already putting the emperor under house arrest, which is undoubtedly a capital crime. If we reveal our identities again, I'm afraid they will have to kill them. Zuo Junzhong said.
Wen Xi heard this, bit his lip, looked at the sky outside that was gradually darkening, and said, "Ziqing, why haven't you come back yet!" ”
Yes, now all the people in this courtyard want to see Zuo Liang the most. All the people were looking forward to hearing Zuo Liang's voice.
After He Xuan settled the people in the house, he was about to go to the door, but Liao Yong followed in a few steps and said, "Be careful." ”
He Xuan nodded, smiled at him, and said, "You too." ”
