Arrive in the Northern Desert
"This is where I prepared and where we stayed during this time. You have a good rest for a while, and I'll call you when we eat." ”
After more than half a month of traveling, Gu Ange and Wan Yan lived in a small inn in a small city near the Northern Desert King City in a low-key manner.
The inn is not big, and it looks very ordinary from the outside, but the two or three rooms on the third floor are quite comfortable.
"Okay."
Gu Ange responded with a smile, and then closed the door.
After Gu Ange closed the door, Wan Yan Wuye also turned around and entered the next room, where there was already a person waiting in the room at this time.
"Master." When the man saw Yan Wu coming in, he hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted.
Wan Yan Wu walked to the table and sat down with a cold face.
"Everyone is arranged?"
The man bowed his head respectfully, and didn't dare to look up at Wan Yan Wu, who was sitting, "Go back to the master, it's arranged, this is the information we have found someone to investigate, please take a look at it." ”
After speaking, he took out a letter from his bosom and placed his hands respectfully on the table.
Wan Yan Wu picked up the letter in silence, glanced at it casually and put it aside, "Prince Ben knows, you go down first, and find some martial arts masters to protect the son." ”
"Yes, master." The man didn't ask much, and just retreated.
When the man had retreated, he sat in the room alone, rubbing his temples with a wooden face.
...................
"Nalan, come out to eat." An hour later, Wan Yan Wu gently knocked on Gu Ange's door.
Wan Yan Wu's face was too flamboyant, although there was still some distance from the royal city, but just in case, he still brought the same mask as when he first met Gu Ange.
"Okay." Gu Ange agreed, then got up and put on his robe and walked out.
As soon as she walked out of the door, Hua Yan came out of nowhere, silently like a ghost, quietly holding her sword and standing against the wall.
"Let's go." Gu Ange said to Wan Yan Wu.
Seeing Yan Wu's outfit, Gu Ange was not surprised at all. Although Gu Ange's face is also very flamboyant, there are not many people on the rivers and lakes who have seen her real face, and there is no need to be as careful as him.
So the three of them went downstairs one after the other and went to the hall on the first floor to eat.
Although Hua Yan didn't dare to eat at the same table with Gu Ange, she still sat down under Gu Ange's order.
"It's pretty lively here." Sitting in the hall, Gu Ange looked at the merchants at the table around him, and chatted with Wan Yan with a smile.
"It's close to Wangcheng, and it's normal for many merchants to use this place as a transit station." Wanyan useless tea washed all the dishes and chopsticks in front of him, and explained unhurriedly.
"I said, why are there people in the East Zhou, West and Zheng Nanjiang here, and I was originally thinking about whether to change my clothes, so as not to be too ostentatious, but now it seems that I can save it."
"Although the relationship between the Northern Desert and several other countries is not very good, most of the daily needs depend on these merchants. No, for you, I ordered some specialties from the Northern Desert, and you can see if you can eat it. Wan Yan Wu handed the hot chopsticks in his hand to Gu Ange, and then took the chopsticks in front of her to him, repeating the previous action.
Gu Ange took it with a smile and thanked him.
Huayue Palace is strictly hierarchical, and Feng Zhumo is a moody person, so it is the first time for Hua Yan to dine at the same table with her master, sitting a little restrained on the side, lowering her head and not knowing what she is thinking.
Gu Ange glanced at Hua Yan who was bowing his head on the side, thought about it, took out a pair of chopsticks from the chopstick barrel and handed them to him, and said with a smile: "Don't be so restrained, this son doesn't eat people." ”
Hua Yan looked up at the pair of chopsticks and was stunned for a moment, and then took the pair of chopsticks a little helplessly, and the face that had never known what the expression was was actually a little more flustered and shy, "Yes, Childe, thank you Childe." ”
Gu Ange smiled at him and didn't say anything more.
The food was delivered quickly, Gu Ange and Wan Yan Wu chatted and ate at the same time, while Hua Yan was holding the dish in front of him, quietly pulling the rice, eating it at a very fast speed, and then continuing to work there as a wooden man.
Wan Yanwu: "How does it taste?" ”
Gu Ange was particularly satisfied, "It tastes good, although it is a little different from the Central Plains, it has a different flavor." ”
"Wait a minute, let's go out, I'll take you somewhere, you can help me see if there's anything wrong." Wan Yan did not put down the dishes and chopsticks.
"Okay."
When Gu Ange followed Yan Wu to the place in his mouth, it was a hidden cave in a mountain forest ten miles away from the small city.
"What do you think?" Standing in the dark cave, Wan Yanwu held a torch in his hand and led the way in front.
"It's a good place. If there is no insider to lead the way, I don't think anyone will be able to find this cave, but I see that there are many traces of artificial excavation in the cave. Gu Ange took advantage of the light of the torch to walk to a mountain wall and look carefully.
I touched it with my hand, the mountain wall was rough, and I added unhurriedly, "But the process is not so exquisite, isn't it?" ”
"This is a place that I was prepared for in the early years, and it was only completed before I went to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty." Wan Yan Wu took Gu Ange to shuttle through the forks in the cave, making even a person with a good sense of direction like Gu Ange start to get dizzy.
The three of them walked for a while before they reached the end of the cave, which was a fairly large stone chamber, and had been prepared to prevent collapse and moisture, and it could be seen that it had taken a lot of effort.
"So, you mean that when the time comes, the looting will be temporarily stored here?" Looking at this stone room, Gu Ange understood. There are so many things, they can't carry them to the city openly.
Wan Yan Wu nodded, "That's right, this place is not far from the road they must pass, and it is close to Wan Yan Yan's other courtyard, so it will be convenient at that time." I have told them to be ready, and tomorrow at noon the tax will pass through the official road in the woods, and I am ready to do it there. ”
"It's up to you to call these things, I'm just here to help you do something inconvenient to show up." Gu Ange smiled, "Don't hinder you when the time comes." ”
Wan Yan Wu was silent for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, I see." Let's go back, will you go with us tomorrow? ”
"Hmm."
"Okay."
So at noon the next day, Wan Yan Wu and Gu Ange led a group of people to ambush in the woods on the side of the road.
The early summer sun shines through the leaves on the tree-lined road, which looks a little mottled, and there is no other sound except for the insects and birds, although it is quiet, it makes people feel a little irritable and uneasy in their hearts for no reason, as if something will happen in the next moment.
