13. Haven't rested yet?
When Aidan heard this, he did not answer immediately and remained silent. Li Hao, who was outside, didn't know whether she was going or not, and walked back and forth outside the tent.
Suddenly, the tent door opened, and Aidan walked out angrily: "This is what you begged me, I didn't force you, lead the way." ”
Li Hao: "......"
※※※
After Li Hao took Aidan into Ostown, he came to a relatively luxurious hotel.
"Waiter, bring your menu." After Li Hao entered, he shouted loudly. Aidan followed him, looking left and right, looking worried.
"What? , just to eat, as for making such an expression? Li Hao saw her and asked.
"I'm worried about acquaintances here." Aidan bit his lip, looked at the hotel, and said softly.
Li Hao realized that she was worried about the people she knew here, after all, Oss City is also Mick's third largest city, and it is so close to Mick City, it is a day's journey, and Stephen's family should have many acquaintances here.
"Then do you want us to change another one?" Li Hao also has some scruples, this hotel is still relatively famous in Ostown, and there is a great chance of meeting Stephen's friends here, for the sake of insurance, it is better to change one.
"......, let's forget it, let's find a remote place and don't attract attention." Aidan thought about it and thought that as long as he was careful, he would be fine.
"Okay, if we meet an acquaintance later, let's talk about it first, and we'll make plans for a while." Since Aidan said it, it's here, and he can't say anything, just remind him.
The two of them chose a table with a small door next to it that led to the kitchen. It is also possible to go out through the kitchen.
After sitting down, the waiter brought up the menu, and Li Hao took it. Naturally, he handed it to Aidan. Aidan was not depressed and took over the menu. Began her performances: this, this, and this ....... She started ordering directly from the most expensive dish, I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional, anyway, what she ordered made Li Hao, who was sitting opposite, stunned.
"Alright, we're all right, that's all." Li Hao saw that she didn't want to stop, so he immediately spoke. I thought to myself. If you knew it, you could just find a stall to solve it, so why bother here.
"That's all." Seeing him speak, Aidan did not object, and gave the menu to the waiter.
After the waiter left, Aidan said, "Don't worry, I will pay for this meal, but I have to wait until I go back, so I still have you to pay it first." ”
Li Hao smiled bitterly: "Don't get in the way, this meal is still mine." It's just that after I go back, can I trouble the eldest lady to give me some extra wages? ”
"No way, you little guard. I haven't been in office for a few days, and I want to process money, but there is no door. Aidan resolutely refused, with a non-negotiable tone in his tone.
"If you don't add it, forget it." Li Hao said in a low voice.
Just as Li Hao and Aidan were waiting for the dishes to be served, a man and a woman walked in outside the restaurant, the woman was dressed in white and had an apple face. The man was dressed in red and had a small scar on his face.
After walking into the store, they chose the middle table. "Someone, bring the menu. I'm dying of hunger. The woman's voice was loud and a little rough.
The waiter listened to someone calling. Immediately walked over and said, "What are you two eating?" And handed the menu to the woman.
After the woman took the menu, she opened it and looked at it, her eyes were staring at it very big, her eyebrows were squeezed to the middle, and she said ruthlessly: "Why don't you grab it, it's darker than us, and a dish costs two gold coins." Your wife and I only rob others, and there is no one who has rushed to rob the old lady. The voice grew louder and louder, and in a few moments the whole hall was silenced, and everyone looked at the woman. …
Li Hao, who was sitting in the corner, heard that the woman's voice was very familiar, so he turned his head to look, and this look was terrible, and he was so frightened that he was scared out.
"What about you?" Seeing that Li Hao suddenly sweated a lot on his face, Aidan said with concern.
"Nothing, maybe a little hot." I thought to myself, "Why is she here?" Just now I was worried that I would run into Stephen's acquaintances, but they didn't, but they did, and they did, and they were the kind of people they didn't want to meet. ”
"Ruoxi, sit down, I'll invite you this time." The man in red in the middle spoke.
This woman is Madeleine, the eldest lady of the Roar of the Thieves. Li Hao was almost forcibly married by her, so as soon as Li Hao saw her, he was scared into a cold sweat.
"Andrew, you don't care about my business, I'll match up with this one today, and let them see what a real thief looks like." Madeleine's words are not hidden in the slightest.
Madeleine didn't care about this, but Andrew, who was next to him, was in a hurry, and he hurriedly whispered a few words in Madeleine's ear.
After Andrew finished speaking, Madeleine actually stopped making trouble, and said to the waiter: "Put your best dish on a few plates, remember quickly, otherwise I will tear you down." The tone of his speech is still so domineering, not giving others a good face.
After hearing this, the waiter dared to stay here any longer, and quickly ran into the kitchen in the back.
"You know?" On this side, Aidan suddenly looked at the woman and asked Li Hao.
"I don't know." Li Hao's tone was affirmative, and his expression was flustered.
Seeing that his tone and face were very unnatural, Aidan felt that there must be something in it that he did not know. I looked at the woman in the middle again, her body was light and charming. If she doesn't speak, she will really be a beautiful woman from a distance. Looking down at himself, he felt that he was no worse than himself.
Aidan observed Madeleine, Li Hao didn't stop, he was thinking, what did Madeleine a thief do when he came to Ostown, it is impossible to come to Oss City to rob, right? If not, is it tourism? It can't be either. …… By the way, she couldn't have come to me specifically, could she? Thinking of this, there seems to be a piercing feeling under the buttocks.
Or hurry up and eat, go back to the barracks, it's impossible for her to rush to the barracks, right?
Thinking about it, the waiter's dish was served. Aidan may be really hungry, and without waiting for Li Hao, she picked up the fork on the table and started the dishes that had just come up.
Li Hao looked at the way she was eating, and thought that no matter how hungry a cultivated person is. Always so elegant when eating, and then looked at Madeleine in the middle, and saw her eating. Still a woman?
After eating, Li Hao and Aidan did not go out of the gate. They made a detour to the kitchen and left through the back door. Aidan asked why? Li Hao replied, go through the back door safely. Aidan looked at him with distrust, but in his heart he thought that it must have something to do with that woman.
After coming out of the back door, we went to the avenue of the city. The night market in Ostown is not comparable to Wei Town, Wei Town has only one avenue, and there are many avenues in Ostown.
After walking for a while, Li Hao suddenly stopped. Because a question came to his mind: "Madeleine, could they have come for the supplies we are escorting?" As soon as this hypothesis was proposed, he became more and more sure that with the strength of the Dragon Roar Thieves Group, it was really possible to rob this batch of goods.
After thinking about it, he decided to go back and follow Madeleine and the two of them, after all, it was still about him.
Look at Aidan in front of him, and then think about how to coax her back first.
"Miss, I suddenly thought of one thing, I want to leave. Can you go back first. Li Hao asked.
"What's the matter?" When Aidan heard that he was leaving, his mood was immediately low, and he turned around and asked indifferently. …
"Didn't Mike go to dinner with them tonight? I'll get over later. Go and hit the head. Li Hao explained.
"Really?" Aidan was skeptical.
"Hmm" nodded.
"Then you go." Aidan agreed.
"Then the eldest lady should go back quickly." After Li Hao finished speaking, he ran in another direction.
Back at the restaurant where he had just eaten, Li Hao looked at the door and found that Madeleine and the others were still eating. He finally lost a sigh of relief in his heart, and along the way, he kept worrying about whether they would leave. If that's the case, Oss City is so big, how can he find it?
Sit on the beam opposite the hotel. Here you can see the hall inside the store at a glance, and Li Hao focuses on the two of them. I'm afraid that I will lose them if I am negligent.
It's getting late, and there are fewer pedestrians on the avenue. Even the vendors on both sides of the road began to pack up their tables. But Li Hao was still sitting on it, facing the two Madeleine, who were still eating.
Just when Li Hao wondered if he was thinking wrong, Madeleine and the others finally moved. Li Hao jumped off the beam, hid behind a pillar, poked out half of his head, and aimed at the opposite side.
When he saw the two of them come out, he went out of the city.
Li Hao followed the two of them out of the city and followed up in a dense wood. Fearing that they would find themselves, they followed a little far, so I could only see them and not hear their conversations.
At this time, I saw five people jumping out of the two of them, and from a distance, these five people were all wearing black night clothes and covering their faces.
When the five appeared, they began to talk to Madeleine. Li Hao was inconvenient to go up, so he could only look at them from afar.
After a few moments, Madeleine and the others talked for a while, and then quickly separated, and Madeleine and the two returned the way they came. Li Hao saw the two of them coming back to him, and anxiously jumped onto a tree.
"Do you think they're telling the truth?" When Madeleine walked under the tree, she said to Andrew, who happened to be heard by Li Hao in the tree.
"Anyway, let's go back and prepare first." Andrew Road.
When the two of them were far away from the tree, Li Hao jumped down from the tree. He looked in the direction Madeleine was walking, and then looked in the direction where the five men in black had left, and after meditating, he jumped and rushed in the direction of the five men.
"It's okay, these five people are not fast." Out of the woods, Li Hao saw the five men in black sneakily advancing, and the direction they were heading in happened to be the camp of the transport team, which made him even more suspicious.
Just as the five of them were about to reach the camp, they stopped and looked around, and Li Hao immediately hid in the grass. When the five men noticed that there was no one around, they began to take off their black clothes.
When they took off the black clothes they had put on the outside, Li Hao was greatly surprised. Because the black clothes of the five people turned out to be military uniforms, and there was also the icon of the transport team on the right shoulder.
"They're the convoy guys? Or is it just a spy in clothes? Li Hao was puzzled about their identities, but he couldn't be sure.
After the five men took off their coats, they inserted themselves into the avenue of the barracks, and their walking posture was not as sneaky as before. Li Hao immediately followed, he wanted to see if these five people were from the transport team.
After entering the barracks, the five people separated, and Li Hao chose one of them to follow.
"Lao Zhang, where did you go just now, I couldn't find you for a drink, did you go to the city to find a woman." After a while. The person who followed Li Hao was shouted by a man who was a little drunk.
"I just got to the city on some errands, and I just came back, and I knew you were going to drink. I'm not going, hey. "I look very sorry.
"Huh. Just know, let's go, I've got a little bit left, let's keep drinking. ”
With that, the two of them walked to the side. Li Hao didn't follow this time, he thought that it was no longer necessary, since he knew that they were members of the transport team, he would pay more attention to them in the future. …
Just after Li Hao watched the two of them disappear. An angry voice rang out in the back
"Didn't you go to them? How is it here? ”
Looking back, Aidan was standing behind, staring at him with fiery eyes.
"Miss, Miss, why are you here? It's so late and you haven't rested yet? Li Hao stammered, and his heart suddenly went up and down.
"I ask you, what are you doing here?" Aidan asked aggressively.
"Didn't you say that, I went to dinner with Mike and them. Only back now. Li Hao said casually.
"I just came from them." Aidan said.
"Ahh Li Hao was surprised. He couldn't even imagine how Aidan could go to them, it wasn't easy to explain.
Seeing that he was a little flustered, Aidan became even more angry. said: "You, you, you're so annoying, did you go to find the woman just now?" ”
Li Hao was shocked again, "How did she know that I went to find that woman, weird?" ”
"Say, isn't it?" Aidan's tone increased again, and he almost yelled.
Li Hao was in a hurry, he couldn't find a reason. I think of it, you don't care about me and what do you do with me so much. Raising his head and shouting at her, "You don't care who I go to, I want to find that woman." Just look for that woman, what's not in your way? ”
Seeing him talking to himself like this, Aidan felt aggrieved in his heart, thinking that the eldest lady of her Stephen's family was not at home in a good manner, but she came here to suffer for him, not only did she not get his affirmation, but she was humiliated in every way. Thinking of this, she felt very lost in her heart, although her strong character could not make her cry, but the weak expression had been slightly presented on her face.
"Okay, I'm not going to tell you, I'm going back to sleep." After finishing speaking, Li Hao ignored her expression at all, turned around and walked towards his station.
Nothing was said all night.
※※※
Early in the morning, when the first rays of sunlight shone on the first tent at the camp gate, a loud roar woke up the sleeping Li Hao and them.
"Assemble all, pack your things, and get ready to go." Darcy stood in the gateway, holding a decent horn and roaring loudly.
Darcy's order was quickly echoed, and the crowd came out of the tent one after another.
Li Hao came out the fastest, because today he still has a task set for himself: to dig out the secrets of the five people.
Standing on a high ground, he carefully scanned the whole audience, looking for the five people. Suddenly, his eyes flashed, and the figure of one of them appeared in his eyes, and when he saw that the man had just come out of the tent, he bent back, and began to collect the tent.
Then the other four slowly appeared, none of them living in the same tent, and they met at the camp without saying hello, as if they didn't know each other.
"Let's go." Seeing that it was all packed, Darcy gave an order to go down, and the convoy continued its march towards the border.
On the way, Li Hao paid close attention to the movements of the five people, and saw that although the five people walked separately, the distance was not very far, and sometimes, they looked at each other, which did not escape Li Hao's eyes.
"Do you want to report this to Darcy first?" Li Hao walked all the way, and he was always uneasy in his heart, always feeling that something big would happen.
"What are you thinking? So fascinating? Mike saw that he was in a state of distress and walked over and asked.
Li Hao looked back at him, and felt that he could tell him about this matter, it was better to have one more person to discuss than to annoy himself here.
"Mike! I have something to discuss with you. Li Hao leaned over and whispered in his ear.
Seeing that he looked nervous and his tone was mysterious, Mike couldn't help but start to panic a little, "You say, I'll listen." ”…
"That's right, yesterday, I found a few men in black mysteriously talking to a couple of men and women not far from the camp, I think they are very good, just peek at them not far away."
"Did you hear what they were saying?"
"We were far away and didn't hear it, but then I followed the men in black. It turned out that they turned out to be people from our convoy. ”
"What?" Mike was shocked.
"So, it's hard for me right now, huh? Still wondering if to report this to Captain Darcy first? ”
Li Hao didn't say Madeleine's identity, he felt that if he did. They might ask him what he had to do with the Dragonroar Thieves, then. Even if they can say it clearly, they don't know whether they believe it or not.
"I think it's better not to say it first, we don't have any evidence, we said it rashly, maybe, we may still become a talking handle, after all, they have been with Darcy for a long time, and we have only known Darcy for a few days."
Mike's analysis makes a lot of sense. Li Hao did not object after hearing this, looked at the five people, and said:
"So what do we do now, can't we sit still? I know those five, the five over there. The finger quickly pointed to the five people over there.
"Why don't you do it. We gathered the people from our academy and discussed it together, everyone is from the academy and trustworthy, what do you think? ”
"That's all. There are more people to do things, and the number of people on the other side is also several. Li Hao affirmed this method.
After that, Mike went to contact the others alone. Li Hao stayed behind and continued to observe the five people.
A familiar fragrance wafted past Li Hao, and he looked to the right curiously and found that the source of this fragrance was Aidan. The car she was in slowly passed by him.
Li Hao looked at her, she also looked at Li Hao, the two sides just glanced at each other when the car passed each other, and then avoided each other.
"Did I talk a little too much yesterday?" Li Hao saw that she looked at herself with disappointed eyes, and he felt very sorry in his heart, and regretted it a little.
I looked at her back again. He whispered: "Find a time, let's go and apologize." ”
"Li Hao. I've told them all, and they're all willing. And they came right away. After Mike finished informing him, he quickly ran back to Li Hao's side.
"Well, then we'll wait for them to come over and start discussing."
A moment later, the others came in on and off.
"Let's discuss the identities of the man and woman who plotted last night." After the personnel assembled, it was Yalvis who spoke first.
Abt: "I think so too. ”
Maas: "And let's guess who they are?" ”
Li Hao: "I think it's very likely to be a thief." ”
Li Hao felt that it was better to go straight to the point, he didn't want a group of people to guess here, after all, he knew the identities of those two people.
Mike: "It's very likely that Li Hao said it. "Mike has always believed in Li Hao.
Jarvis: "What Li Hao said is very right, this is very possible, but it is not absolute, after all, we are all guessing, there is no evidence." ”
Jarvis was very careful in his analysis, perhaps because of the blood of the nobility, which made him analyze everything very thoroughly.
"Boss, just stop, I've told you all the facts, don't guess anymore." Li Hao was extremely depressed at this time.
Li Hao: "Let's make a hypothesis first, and then start discussing. "He didn't give up and pulled the goal back in a different way.
Baird: "Let's assume they're thieves. Baird, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke, supporting Li Hao's idea.
Alvis: "Okay, let's assume they're thieves. ”
Yalvis didn't say anything more this time, and Li Hao next to him was also relieved, he was really afraid that Yalvis would say anything more.
Yalvis: "Since we assume their thieves, we can assume that they are here to rob the goods. ”
Jarvis: "If you want to rob the goods, you have to choose a location, and let's see which place on the road is suitable for thieves." ”
Baird suddenly spoke, "I think there are two places that are most likely. ”
Li Hao: "What place?" ”
Baird: "The Terre Mountains and the Berry Valley. ”
Jarvis: "Why? ”
Baird: "Earlier, my father and I went to a small town in the border to deliver goods, and when I passed by these two places, I always felt that the terrain of these two places was very complicated, and it was a good way to hide tens of thousands of people, otherwise others would find out. ”
Li Hao: "Where are these two places?" How far is it from here? ”
Baird: "The nearest place is two days away, and the other is eight days away. ”
Jarvis: "Is there any other place on the way?" We can't focus on both. Jarvis still used his careful mind to analyze every detail.
Baird: "I didn't think of it yet. (To be continued)
