The foreign carriage came out of the Chu family's house and soon came to the gate of Xihua, and immediately Chu Qifu's subordinates greeted him, and hurriedly announced to the Supreme Treasure: "Master, they have a total of three carriages with two wheels and two horses, and they will take the west road after going out. After speaking, he pointed to it: "It's been about three hours." ”

The Han River is a city on the banks of the river, and almost half of the city protrudes above the river. Out of the south gate is the wharf, most of which are moored fishing boats and passenger ships, carrying people to cross the river or fish on the river; The north wharf belongs to the French Concession, and the north gate exit is also a wharf, but most of the ferries are ready to go down the river, or to the cities along the river, or directly into the sea; The east is the freight wharf, and it is also the place where Chu Qifu is, because it is very close to the French Concession in the north, so it is more or less loved by foreigners, churches, Western clinics and the like are built here, and the wharf outside the door belongs to Chu Qifu as a whole.

Only the West Gate came out of the main road, and there were three roads leading to each place - this is also the reason why Chu Qifu's men stayed here, in order to point out the right path to everyone.

And now what he is referring to is the west one, straight towards Yichang, and then three separate roads after arriving, or into Sichuan and Chongqing, or turn north to Xi'an, or south to Guiyang... No matter where you go, there is only one road to the west, and there is no mistake.

"Yes, thank you!" The Supreme Treasure responded, and immediately ordered everyone to go along the west avenue, and chased out dozens of miles in one breath. At first, the official road was flat and spacious, but when it was far away from the confines of the Hangang Castle, it became uneven, rugged and bumpy, except for the traces left by the perennial car runover, the rest of the place was overgrown with weeds, burying the whole road to the ground, and the foreign cars drove extremely unsmoothly on it, shaking up and down, until the bones of several people were about to fall apart.

After walking along the road for a while. Suddenly three houses appeared on the side of the road, and a curtain with white letters on a blue background was raised high next to it, and the word 'tea' was written on it. The pergola beside the curtain had a boiler stove, and the roaring fire was licking a large iron pot on it. The noodle soup in the pot was boiled repeatedly, and an indescribable aroma of noodles went straight to the nose.

An old couple was busy with the side of the pot, taking the beef from another pot and cutting it, and when it was done, the old woman brought the noodles and beef to the guests' tables, and filled up the thick tea by the way.

Under the pergola, there were three or five tables of guests, either eating noodles or drinking water, and there were several wagons pulling goods, but there were no horse-drawn carriages carrying people. Those people looked like they were just ordinary people, not what they were looking for - the men who followed Shi Pojun in the ghost snake were all the same as him, all pale and bloodless, which was not difficult to recognize.

The Supreme Treasure ordered to stop, and then raised his chin slightly towards the old couple. He asked, "Do you know that this old couple has been selling noodles here for a long time?" "Clear, clear!" The nurse who led the way in the car immediately replied: "They have been here for many years, and they have always made a living by selling noodles, and when the old man took us out hunting, he would also rest here and eat some beef noodle soup - master, do you doubt them?" ”

"It's not a suspicion, it's an inquiry." As the Supreme Treasure was saying this, he heard the sound of horses' hooves, and saw that the six men sent by Chu Qifu had also followed—so he took the lead in getting out of the car with Yusheng Yan, and instructed the man: "Let's stop here for a while, let the horses and them rest for a while, and you go and ask." Did they see the three carts passing by? ”

"Understood." The nurse immediately understood the meaning of the Supreme Treasure, and then went to say hello to the old couple, and then inquired about the details... As for the others, they dismounted with the Supreme Treasure, sat down at two tables, and took the tea to drink and rest.

There were not many foreign cars in the city of Hangang. Not to mention the men who came out with a few horsemen, and when they arrived, they attracted the attention of the merchants--the nurse was familiar with the old couple, and his voice was not concealed, and when the few people next to him came to pour water for themselves, they all listened to it more or less...

Hearing the nurse ask, there was nothing else, but there was a group of three people at the table with their heads down, as if they were whispering something, and they turned around from time to time to look... Seeing this, the Supreme Treasure didn't say much, but just shouted at the nursing home from afar: "How is it, how is it?" ”

The courtyard agreed, and immediately ran over, spreading his hands and saying to the Supreme Treasure: "Master, they did see the three carriages we were looking for, but the carriages only went all the way and did not stop, and they didn't know where they went... I asked them a few times and they said they didn't know, it seems that they really didn't see where the car went! ”

"Really?" The Supreme Treasure nodded, but Yu Guang kept his eyes on the group of strange merchants, "In that case, did you ask when this happened?" "Master, I did ask about this." The nurse hurriedly said, "They said it was about two hours ago, at most two and a half hours—why don't we hurry up and catch up?" ”

As he was talking, he saw that someone in the group suddenly stood up, and seemed to be coming towards this place with determination, and the Supreme Treasure couldn't help but turn his face to face it—several of the guards who came with him were all shrewd people, and immediately turned over and stood up to block the man in front, and shouted, "Hey! Hold it! ”

As soon as he was drunk, the man immediately raised his hand and stood still, accompanied by a face full of caution: "I'm not coming, I'm not coming, master!" "So what's the matter with you?" The Supreme Treasure stood up and pushed away the person in front of him and took two steps forward, "You seem to be very interested and insightful in the question we just asked, so you discussed it for a while—is there anything you want to tell me?" ”

Hearing the Supreme Treasure ask this, the man suddenly became happy, nodded again and again, and at the same time cautiously sneered: "Master, we have indeed seen the carriage you mentioned, and we have also seen the road they have changed... It's just, I just don't know if we say it, sir, can you, can..." he rubbed his hands, laughed but didn't continue.

Although he was just an action, the meaning in it was clear, and the Supreme Treasure immediately nodded and said, "Okay, if what you said is exactly what I need, then these are all yours." His hand slapped on the table, and suddenly a dozen oceans appeared on the table.

The man stared at the ocean on the table, his face was about to bloom, and he hurriedly said, "Yes, yes!" It must be what you want, it must be what you want...", and shouted to the back: "Why don't you come over quickly, tell the master about this together and get a reward!" ”

This man was obviously standing in front of him, and the two of them were waiting there, and now that they heard him shouting and saw the ocean, they immediately ran over together, and gave the Supreme Treasure a salute with a smile on their faces... He didn't care about this, just waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about those side things, you just need to make this matter clear now." ”

The three of them looked at each other the same, and they couldn't hold back their laughter, and they immediately started to gossip, often when a sentence is spoken, others will add it, so although it is chaotic, but the situation is extremely detailed, and the Supreme Treasure is equivalent to seeing it with his own eyes just by hearing it...

As they had said, there was a little bridge a few miles away, and the road behind it was divided on both sides, and they saw three carriages resting under it. The carriage stopped at the bridge, and all the people in the carriage got out of it, and a short man in a black robe took out a few pieces of talisman paper and set them on fire, and the ashes poured into the horse's mouth, and they saw that the horse was running on its own, and they turned into the woods, and then went on foot into the depths of the woods.

According to them, the men who came down from the carriage were all pale, as if they had not seen the sun for a long time, and were a little uncomfortable with the sun, until they entered the woods... It was precisely because of the discomfort of getting out of the carriage that the three of them paid attention to it, and kept an eye on their movements until the group disappeared.

"Understood." Seeing that they were doing the same thing as he wanted to know, and telling the place where the people got off and walked, the Supreme Treasure nodded, acknowledging that it was his own need, and pointed to the table: "Okay, these oceans have rewarded you." ”

The three of them cheered and thanked each other, and when they saw that the Supreme Treasure was following, they led people to get up and prepare to leave, so they rushed over, and hurriedly took the ocean into their arms-the Supreme Treasure took out the two eldest sons from his arms and threw them on a table next to him to count them as tea money, and at the same time shouted to the old couple: "Oh, this is tea money." ”

"Okay!" The old woman was holding a basket to clean up the table next to her, and at this moment she was standing next to the table where the three people were sitting, and she heard the Supreme Treasure shouting, but then she shouted to the three people: "Three guest officers, your soup is cold, but is it okay?" ”

"No, no!" The three of them were gathering together to share the ocean, and when they heard this shout, one of them answered: "What do you want it to do when it's already cold?" You've packed up, we're going to the city for a big dinner!" ”

"Got it." The old woman answered, and then put away all the noodle soup and so on in the bowl - the answer she heard in the old woman's ears was, 'I don't need this noodles anymore,' but the same words were very different in the ears of the Supreme Treasure!

Hearing the words 'cool' in those words, he stopped abruptly as he was heading towards the foreign car, and then slowly turned around, his squinted eyes stared at the three people who were still happy, and shouted: "Come on, take down the three of them for me!" ”

Hearing the Supreme Treasure shouting like this, the three people were suddenly so frightened that they screamed and begged for mercy, but those people took care of him, took the three of them directly, tied them up like a dumpling and threw them in front of the Supreme Treasure, and in the howling and begging for mercy of those people, he took the lead and kicked one of them fiercely, and then asked: "Who made you say this, and who are you?" ”

"We are merchants, and no, no one sent us to..."

One of them continued his rhetoric, but before he could get two sentences, the Supreme Treasure kicked him in the head again, and immediately kicked the guy out twice, and his head hit a table leg and fainted!

He glanced coldly at the remaining two, and spoke again, "You don't need me to ask again, do you?" Tell the truth, or wait until I kill you all! ”
