Chapter 156: Emergency Order
In the only inn in Bushui Town, near Buyang City, Qiu Di sat in his house, drinking tea, but he didn't know the taste of tea.
After chasing down the two men that night, he returned to the inn, and in order to confirm his suspicions, he sneaked into Qiu Yan's room, but he found that there was no trace of a fight in the room.
In desperation, he had to send the news back according to his guess, but the next day he went out, and when he came back in the evening, he heard that Qiu Yan came back in the afternoon and left after settling the bill.
After his search for a new mark was unsuccessful, he had to leave a special mark in the town, and then he had to stay at the inn for the time being, waiting for the autumn goose to turn around while waiting for the order from above.
Seeing that the night was getting darker, Qiu Di put down his teacup, walked out of the inn, and walked towards the only blacksmith shop in Bushui Town.
"Boss Wu, you have a special dagger here, I heard that it will make the sound of cicadas when it is aroused."
Boss Wu raised his head and looked at Qiu Di, put down the thing he was building, turned to the young man beside him and ordered, "Take care of the fire." ”
Then he turned around and walked towards the store, "This kind of dagger is available, but the price is not low. ”
Qiu Di followed into the backyard, "As long as the things are good, it doesn't hurt to be expensive." ”
The two walked into the main room one after the other, and Boss Wu lit the candles on the table and turned around to close the door.
"In the next autumn cicada, I don't know who your Excellency is?"
"In the next autumn flute, come here to carry out a mission, is there any news from Jingdu?"
Autumn Cicada knocked on an intact wall, then bounced a hole through the wall, and he took out a wax-sealed round ball from it and handed it to Autumn Flute.
After Qiu Di took the thing, he first knocked on the table, then turned clockwise a few times, and then counterclockwise a few times before opening the ball, which turned out to be a small iron ball inside the wax seal.
He stayed in the inn and did not receive the news from the flying pigeon from Jingdu, so he knew that the situation had changed, and today he came here to find out.
This type of summoning method, with its complex organs, is only used when there is an urgent and very important task.
Qiu Di took out the paper inside the small iron ball, looked at it carefully, and then put it on the candle flame and burned it to ashes.
Qiu Di took out a small token from his chest pocket and presented it to Qiu Se.
Qiu Cicada's face did not change, and he quickly knelt on the ground, "My subordinates have seen the flute commander!" ”
"Get up!" Qiu Di tucked the token into his chest pocket, "How many people are there near Buyang?" ”
"Commander Huidi, except for those who scattered to collect news, there should be more than 150 people who can be gathered."
Qiu Di thought about it and roughly calculated the date, "Pass the order, and in seven days, all the people who collect the news will meet in Bushui Town." ”
"Yes!" After a short pause, Qiu Se answered, and then asked, "Does the Commander of the Di have any other orders?" ”
Qiu Di waved his hand, and as he walked towards the door, he said, "Wait until the manpower is gathered before making arrangements." ”
Qiu Cicada took out a dagger from the drawer, followed Qiu Di out of the house, and walked towards the door of the store together.
With a dagger in his hand, Qiu Di walked out of the blacksmith shop, thinking of a plan in his heart, and slowly walked in the direction of the inn.
About thirty paces away from the inn, when he occasionally looked up at the inn door, a seemingly familiar figure walked through the inn door.
Qiu Di's steps couldn't help but get anxious, and when he walked into the inn lobby in three steps and two steps, he didn't find the somewhat familiar shadow.
He walked to the accommodation registration office and stuffed a piece or two of silver into the registered guy, "What room did the woman who came in just now live in?" ”
The man quietly put away the silver and dipped the water on the counter and wrote the word A.
