Chapter 45: The Troupe
The man who was originally the first man dispersed, and everyone found that the woman was standing in the middle of the line, and the others were surrounding her, faintly feeling that the stars were holding the moon.
It's not common for such a team to be dominated by women.
"Yo, the guest officers are in such an early morning, hurry in and warm up."
Xiao Er's greeting broke the dead silence, the woman led by her forehead slightly, and the group walked into the inn lobby.
It was only then that everyone could get a glimpse of the whole picture of this line.
But after seeing the composition of this team clearly, even the well-informed Xiao Er showed a look of surprise on his face.
Without him, the composition of this group is really a bit strange.
There were seven people in the group plus the woman, and the other six were all men.
The six men, both old and young, were dressed in the same way, ranging from street butchers in short shirts to young scholars in long shirts.
There are even vendors who carry the burden of selling large bowls of tea.
And the old man who followed closely behind the woman was wrinkled, curled up and rubbed his hands, it was a shabby private school gentleman.
The group, of all ages, walked into the inn and found a round table to sit down.
This table happened to be next to the table of Zhu Luan and others.
Xiao Er brought wine and food, and the group ignored the curious eyes of the other table people and ate by themselves.
And the woman who was most curious didn't even take off her hat when she was eating, and the old man beside her specially asked for buns and pastries for her to eat in her hands.
The others watched for a long time but didn't see any reaction from these people, and were bored when they wanted to withdraw their gaze.
The conversation of this group of people reached the ears of everyone.
"Class master, how long are we going to play this role?" The butcher shouted loudly as he drank.
"There are still two scenes in the next village, why don't you have to wait until then," the old man shook his head and looked at the woman beside him, "The girl's pipa said that the strings were a little loose before, wait for the old man to see?" ”
The woman nodded, and then the men talked while eating, talking about something related to the play.
It turned out to be a wild troupe of walking feet.
Now the people were no longer curious, and they all retracted their eyes and ate their own food with satisfaction.
"It turns out that there is really such a small troupe," Zhu Yue, who was sitting next to Zhu Luan, dared to peek at the adjacent table at this time.
Everyone else at the table was eating separately, and although she glanced at the group of people a few times, no one spoke, so she didn't dare to speak.
But at this time, she noticed that the young man sitting diagonally opposite her was also constantly peeking at the adjacent table, so she dared to speak.
"Yes," Zhu Luan put down his chopsticks and replied with a smile, "It's really interesting." ”
Zhu Yue was a little surprised, she didn't expect this sister to reply to her words as soon as possible.
You must know that when this group of people entered the door just now, when everyone was looking at this group of people, only her cousin did not squint, and looked at her rice bowl seriously, as if it contained delicacies worth thousands of gold.
In fact, it was just white porridge with no ingredients at all.
What made Zhu Yue even more puzzled was that when he heard this, the young man who was still looking at the people at the next table turned his head and looked at Zhu Luan in disbelief.
"Huazang, what's wrong?"
The amplitude of his movements was too great, and even alarmed Yu Sinian around him.
"It's nothing," Nian Huazang took a deep breath and withdrew his gaze, leaving only the corner of his eye to wander between the group of people at the adjacent table and Zhu Luan.
The girl on the opposite side lowered her head slightly, and the corners of her mouth smiled.
She didn't look at the group of people around her from the beginning.
And the group at the next table didn't look at her the whole time.
It was as if the choice of the table next to them was just an accident.
In the eyes of others, it is.
Nian Huazang remembered what the woman had said before.
Troupe? You're really not kidding me?
Just pretend!
God knows, from the first time I saw this group of people, Nian Huazang's heart was turbulent.
It's these people!
Nian Huazang looked around at the other people at the table who were completely unaware, and his scalp was numb.
Even if he had only met him once, even if all those people were dressed in black and masked last time, Nian Huazang still recognized them at a glance.
If he met one of them alone, he might not recognize them, but this group of people gathered together, just by their height and age, gave him a strong sense of familiarity.
The main thing is that this combination is so special that it is hard to forget after seeing it once.
What's more, he still saw it in such a situation where life and death were on the line.
It's the ...... The killer who ambushed Zhu Luan on the mountain road leading to his academy back then......
Nianhua Tibetan support.
It was a memory he didn't want to pick up.
Although it turned out later that Huang Que had another person, what was this group of people here for at this time?
Anyway, it's impossible to assassinate again in broad daylight, right?
And......
Nian Huazang raised his head slightly, looking at the opposite side quietly eating breakfast, like a girl who had nothing happening, and couldn't help but be speechless.
Nian Huazang never believed that this woman would not be able to see it.
What the hell is going on?
Looking at the indifferent Zhu Luan, Nianhuazang was silent for a moment.
Forget it, let's talk about what happens.
A hint of foreboding appeared in the young man's heart.
……
……
And this premonition became a reality when they left the inn and headed for the road after eating.
"The carriage of the group of people just now seems to be on the same road as us."
In the carriage, Duan Lizheng put down the curtain and said to Zhu Luan.
"Really?" Zhu Luan smiled.
"Really," Princess Jinyang rarely lifted her hat and poked her head out to look at the carriage behind her.
"How is this like ......" she frowned slightly and looked straight into Zhu Luan's eyes, "Follow us." ”
"Really?" Zhu Luan still smiled and said casually, "Maybe it's really the same road." ”
"I did hear these people at the inn just now that they were going to Shanzhou," Zhu Yue peeked at the faces of the other people in the car, "Maybe it's going to a show." ”
There was a moment of silence in the carriage.
For some reason, except for Zhu Luan, in Zhu Yue's opinion, everyone else's faces were a little uncomfortable.
"Huazang seems to know these people," Duan Lizheng's gaze stayed on Zhu Luan's face.
Zhu Luan smiled and didn't speak.
"I didn't expect this group of people to start the same road with us here," Duan said.
Not really.
"What a coincidence," Zhu Luan said.
Not a coincidence at all.
Zhu Luan said in his heart.
These people have been walking with them all the time.
It's not just today that I'm starting to follow.
These people followed them the day after they left Huizhou.
Because it has been far away, the one who started the first is proficient in hiding traces, so it has not been discovered by others.
And why is she aware of it......
It was because the methods of this group of people to hide their tracks seemed somewhat familiar to her.
But this group had only been following from a distance, but today they suddenly appeared in front of them.
Zhu Luan's eyes narrowed.
Is it because the front is in Lanzhou?
