Chapter 258: A Different Man
After putting the swallowing demon back into the iron box, Shangguan Yang and the young man carried the box left and right, and walked outside the dense forest. Because I was afraid of using spells, I resonated with this magic weapon. When the two of them walked all the way out, and when they reached the outside of the dense forest, the young man suddenly said to Shangguan Yang on the other end of the box, "It's too easy to get it this time, right?" Will there be fraud in it? ”
"Is there a deception?" Shangguan Yang's eyes were fixed in the direction outside the dense forest. Now the ugly hour has passed, and it will be dawn in another hour. Now that the official road is quiet, at this hour, there may be only two of them in the entire Huainan Kingdom.
After seeing nothing unusual, Shangguan Yang continued this time: "The task assigned to us by the landlord is only to deliver this magic weapon to the next person. As long as there are no problems during this time, what if this is a strategy set by Wu Mian and Gui Hui? ”
The young man wanted to refute Shangguan Yang with a few words, but this old guy with a bell on his neck seemed to have some truth in what he said. Since this hot brazier has already reached their hands, they only need to send this magic weapon to the hands of the receiver. At that time, as long as they tell the person who took over how they obtained the magic weapon, how to evaluate it will not be the business of the two of them.
The place where the magic weapon was handed over was on the border of Huainan Province, although neither of them dared to use the method of retreat. But fortunately, it is not far from the border, and according to the footsteps of the two people, they can arrive at the handover site before dawn.
Two men carried the suitcase, and ran out for nearly thirty miles in one hour. When the dawn broke in the east, I saw a big town store in the distance. After seeing the town store, the hearts of the two people finally settled down a little. By the time the two of them arrived, it was already dark. One after another, some people who got up early to carry water to cook had already walked out of the house, carrying poles and buckets to the only well in the town.
Shangguan Yang stopped an old man who was rushing to the well to dive into the water and asked him where the only inn in the local area was. When the old man heard the two people inquiring about the inn, he smiled at the old man and the young man in front of him with a mouthful of yellow teeth, and said, "Did you tell me that this is not a coincidence?" Old man, I'm the guy at the inn. The two of you are here to cast the stack, wait for me, old man, I'll pick up a handful of water. Let's go back together, you two haven't had breakfast yet, have you? It's going to have to wait a minute, there are no guests in the inn these days, and there is no fire in the morning......"
"Wait a minute, you said there were no guests in the inn?" After saying this, the young man was stunned for a moment, and after glancing at Shangguan Yang, who was also a little surprised, he continued: "How many inns are there in your town? ”
"Just our old Zhao Ji family" After the old man heard that the two people were almost not here to cast the stack, he had no interest in the two of them. After saying this, he ignored the two men, picked up his shoulder and bucket, and continued to walk in the direction of the well.
"Wait a minute, I have something to say" Shangguan Yang took out seven or eight coins from his arms, threw them in his hand a few times, and then still in the old man's bucket. Seeing that the old man exclaimed in surprise and turned around to look for money in the bucket, Shangguan Yang smiled and said, "Excuse me, there hasn't been a man living in the inn these days?" ”
"I said that there were no customers in the store these days...... "The old man almost stuck his head into the bucket and took out all the money. With a smiling face, he said to Shangguan Yang: "I dare to love you two are here to meet friends, but do you remember the wrong day?" Otherwise, go to the store first. When your friend arrives, you'll see each other. ”
"There have been no guests in the past few days" Even Shangguan Yang was stunned at this moment, just when even the two of them were at a loss. The old man carrying the water suddenly slapped his thigh and said to the two people: "It can't be said that there are really no customers, five days ago, a gentleman in silk came to the store." However, he thought our shop was too old and left that night. But every day to our store soaking, every day in front of the room to give, but not in the store overnight, these days are three poles on the day, and then as soon as the day is dark. It's been four or five days like this, but it's been getting late these days, and I don't know if it's the person you're looking for. ”
"People in silk ......" Shangguan Yang turned his head to look at the young man, and asked Tianlou's management is extremely strict. Unless arranged by the landlord, the principals of each floor will not have the opportunity to meet in their lives. Even the two of them met for the first time, and at the moment, judging by the time, it should be the one they answered.
At that moment, Shangguan Yang threw a handful of money in the bucket and asked the old man to send them to the inn first, and then come to fetch water. For the sake of these two money-making, the old man happily took the old and the young to the inn.
After entering the inn, Shangguan Yang first chartered an upper room. Their room was facing the main doorway, and if anyone did come in, the two of them would be able to see it as soon as possible. Shangguan Yang and the young man ran around all night, but they didn't have the heart to rest at the moment. The two of them each pulled a chair, put the iron box in the chair, and then sat on the chair one on the left and one right, their four eyes fixed on the position of the gate. Wait for the man in the old man's mouth to come in.....
But I waited until noon, and I didn't see anyone coming in. On the counter at the gate, only one of the shopkeepers was chasing flies. The two men waited until after noon, but the man in silk did not come. At that moment, Shangguan Yang called the old man in and asked him about the silk man.
"It's that person, you two don't be impatient, he'll be here before dark at the latest." The old man laughed for a moment, and then continued: "That guest officer has no patience, he can be in the shop a little longer on the first day. After the next day, I came later and later every day, but I left earlier and earlier. Yesterday was a time before it came, and it was only two hours before and after the arrival of the unitary time. In this way, the guest officer will definitely come over when he sticks to Shen today. ”
After saying these few words, the old man continued to look for work by himself, and after Shangguan Yang and the young man glanced at each other, the young man gently said to Shangguan Yang: "It can't be the person in the building, right?" Isn't that child's play? ”
"You'll know when you see that person," Shangguan Yang said, glanced at the big iron box beside him, and then continued: "No matter what, as long as we hand over the box to that person, we will be easy." ”
The two of them waited until more than half of the hour, when the sky outside was already faintly showing signs of westward setting, and a man in a silk costume came in outside the inn. Looking at the age, the man is not very old, that is, he is in his twenties. I wanted to see that I was wearing this sword, which was more like a ritual weapon, and after walking in, I immediately covered my nose and said to the shopkeeper: "Lao Zhao! How did I tell you yesterday that it only costs a few dollars to buy incense? Do you smell what this store smells like? Is it still human to live in? Also, those plates and bowls were thrown away when they were broken, and what were you looking for? Last time I drank water from you, a sip of water spilled my crotch ......"
The shopkeeper seems to have gotten used to this person's style, anyway, he doesn't live in the store and pays for the meal, so he can break his mouth. At that moment, the shopkeeper said to the man in Chinese clothes with a smiling face: "By the way, there are two guest officers who came to the inn today who seem to be looking for someone?" I wonder if the two of them are the ones you are waiting for? ”
"Who said I'm here to wait for someone?" After the Washington man glanced at the old shopkeeper, he slowly glanced towards the inn. This glance happened to meet Shangguan Yang and the young man, and after this glance, Shangguan Yang saw that the man in a gorgeous costume had makeup on his face, and a pale face was also painted with blush and rouge gouache. The most surprising thing is that the man's clothes have a jade plaque hanging on it, and a five-...... is carved on it
