Chapter 12: A Roundabout Contest
The door of the "Wei's Inn" slowly opened, and Liu Ye thought that maybe the night watchman heard the movement and went out to greet the guests, and the leader of the Persian merchant also thought so, and said to his companions with a smile.
"Look, I said that this inn would do business, and when I heard that a guest came to the door, I came out to meet him, and whoever wants to eat Persian flatbread, tell them to prepare a few more ......."
The word "Zhang" didn't open the mouth, and the leader's mouth couldn't close, he looked at the old man who came out of the courtyard blankly, as if he was enchanted, and blinked in disbelief: "Could it be that you, you, you are the housekeeper of the post station?" Steward of the Guard? Are you really? Am I right? ”
The Wei butler, who was over sixty years old, smiled and nodded, the right eyebrow was habitually raised, the drooping eye bags could not hide the shrewdness in the eyes, and the lean cheeks were deeply sunken, a little sharp-beaked monkey cheeks. He was not tall, very thin, hunched over his chest, and at first glance he looked like the most ordinary old man, and the kind that had worked hard all his life. But his dress is not ordinary, the Xuanxi auspicious cloud pattern silk gown is very valuable, it is the best silk village of the Han Dynasty, in the Western Regions usually only princes and nobles can afford to wear it, ordinary people are categorically reluctant to wear it.
That's not all, he wears a black jade wrench on his thumb, and it doesn't look like a ubiquitous look. I heard the team leader call him "Steward Wei", but he is not like an ordinary post house steward, and he is also surnamed Wei, so he should have something to do with Wei Lu, so he is not only the steward of the post station, but also holds an important position in the Wei family.
The team leader was overjoyed and introduced to Liu Ye and his companions: "Steward Wei is the person who speaks at the post station, and he is here to say what he says, and he is busy taking care of the post station and horse business every day, he is a veritable busy man!" Ordinary guests can't see him if they want to, but tonight he actually greeted us in person, this kind of luck is really unbelievable! ”
The steward took the reins from the leader's hand and handed the horse to the servant behind him: "Take care of the guests' horses and prepare a few rooms facing the sun." ”
Hearing this, the Persian team leader happily closed his mouth: "Oh, oops, it's so troublesome to the housekeeper, I bother you to greet you in person in the middle of the night, and prepare the best room for us, haha......"
Steward Wei was extremely attentive to this Persian caravan, no wonder the team leader was a little proud, but Liu Ye found that Steward Wei had never called the leader's name from beginning to end, and if he was a very familiar guest, he could at least call him a name!
After the Persian merchants moved in, the team leader enthusiastically introduced Liu Ye to Steward Wei: "By the way, they are also here to stay, and Steward Wei will also arrange a few good guest rooms!" ”
"Of course." Steward Wei bowed slightly to Liu Ye respectfully and said, "There are a few good wings in the backyard, please come with me!" ”
Liu Ye didn't want to reveal her identity yet, she just came to find out the whereabouts of the teacher, if she really met that demon, she rejected it from the bottom of her heart.
Chang Hui and Feng Yan didn't expect things to develop to this point, what was the purpose of this Wei steward who came out of nowhere, or was everything really just a coincidence? If it's a coincidence, they will cooperate to finish the play!
Steward Wei didn't talk much along the way, and took them all the way to the courtyard of the hot spring, the hot spring was empty tonight, which was very strange to the other guests, but Liu Ye didn't know the inside story of the hot spring, and they didn't feel that anything was wrong.
At this time, Steward Wei suddenly spoke: "Master Wei has been waiting for you for a long time, please go to the room to talk!" ”
Liu Ye's scalp suddenly went numb, she infiltrated the Persian caravan to find the post station, no one knew her identity, how could Wei Lu know that she was coming, and sent his butler to invite her to meet! This Wei Lu is really not a good stubble, he is insidious and terrifying!
"Master Wei? What Wei Ye? Liu Ye simply pretended to be stupid, "We are guests who have come to stay, Steward Wei can arrange a place to stay for us, the time is not early, we don't plan to meet anyone." ”
Feng Yan also began to get nervous, and dragged Liu Ye's arm as if walking out: "This store is a mess, let's not live here, sister, let's go!" ”
"Wait!" Steward Wei was just about to stretch out his hand to stop him, but Chang Hui quickly grabbed his wrist and glared at him viciously.
Where is Steward Wei's opponent of Chang Hui, his entire arm is about to be removed, and the pain makes him lean and his legs are weak, but even so, he still endures it without screaming in pain.
"Forget it, let him go!" Steward Wei didn't have good intentions, but he just acted according to orders, not to mention that he was an old man, Liu Ye couldn't bear to give him a heavy hand.
Chang Hui snorted, pushed him away, and said coldly: "See if you dare to move your hands and feet, get out of the way, don't get in the way!" ”
Steward Wei had a bitter face, seeing that Liu Ye was about to go away, he hurriedly said behind her: "The person you are looking for is with Wei Ye, don't you want to know his whereabouts?" ”
Liu Ye paused, Steward Wei said that she was in her heart, but it was also possible that she was deliberately cheating, what if she easily fell into the trap and caused trouble for the division in turn. Maybe Shizhong has gone back now, and she can't be in a hurry.
Liu Ye continued to move forward with his heart, and Steward Wei had no choice but to throw out a fatal move: "Master, Master Shi came to our Master Wei to do something, and he has something to tell Master Wei." ”
Chang Hui couldn't hold back his anger anymore, picked up the thin housekeeper, and said hatefully: "Say it quickly, where is he, if you don't tell me honestly, don't blame me for being rude." ”
The housekeeper has always been majestic, but he can't bear this immediate loss, and hurriedly pointed to the house next to the hot spring: "In, there......"
Chang Hui shook him off and went straight to the hot spring without looking back, Feng Yan didn't listen to him, he was so anxious that he didn't know what to do. Liu Ye sighed lightly, since Shizhong had indeed come, and Wei Lu also knew that she was coming, it would be meaningless to pretend any longer.
"Let's go, let's go and see!"
The room was dim and dark, and Wei Lu looked at Liu Ye and the others who came one after another with satisfaction through the purple translucent curtain, Shi Shiran sat up and took a blue ribbon to tie the long hair that was scattered behind his head.
"The surname is Wei, you fucking get up for me......" Chang Hui tore open the curtain and reached out to grab him, but Wei Lu's figure flickered, easily dodged his attack, and walked towards Liu Ye with a grin.
"Ye'er, I said we'd meet again, right! Look, I'm thinking about you, you're here, don't we have a heart! The blue ocean in Wei Lu's eyes rose and fell back and forth, flashing with excitement, staring at Liu Ye without any scruples, from top to bottom from the inside and out, the kind of eyes that could see through people, as if he hated to tear off the clothes on her body.
"Indecent!" Feng Yan snorted with disdain, and stepped forward to block Liu Ye, "Look at what, my young lady is not something like you can look at casually, if you look at it again, I'll gouge out your eyeballs!" ”
Wei Lu covered her lips and smiled: "Hehe, such a fierce girl, just look at it, what's the big deal, you still have to gouge out other people's eyeballs!" ”
Chang Hui didn't touch him with that trick just now, and then looked at the coquettish Wei Lu, and there was a strange feeling in his heart, he didn't look like a practitioner who knew kung fu, but it was an indisputable fact that he easily dodged the attack. Could it be that he just got away with it? Or, is he a hidden master?
Liu Ye patted Feng Yan's shoulder, signaled that she didn't need to be nervous, and asked Wei Lu calmly: "Master Wei, please forgive me for visiting late at night without prior notice!" My friend has come to see you, where is he now? ”
Wei Lu replied very neatly: "Ye'er's friend is the teacher!" I'll just say, Ye'er, you are not an ordinary person, with my years of experience in looking at people, I don't think I can be mistaken! Master Shi is your friend, so your identity must be even more difficult, why don't you be honest with each other! ”
Hearing him say this, he still didn't know where she came from, Liu Ye was convinced that Shizhong would not tell him the truth, Wei Lu just happened to know the title of "Shida", and it was precisely because he was unsure that he asked her so.
"Wei Gongzi is too worried, Ye'er's identity doesn't matter, after all, we are just nodding friends, and we haven't reached the point of explaining each other's family background! Ye'er asked again, where is he now? ”
Wei Lu shrugged his shoulders and smiled helplessly: "Ye'er doesn't believe me, so I won't ask more, it's boring to talk about myself!" Okay, let me tell you, Master Shi went to find the poisonous scorpion, and he came to me to inquire about the poisonous scorpion, you are friends, you don't know! ”
"Oh? Didn't you bring people? Why should he go find it himself? Liu Ye felt that what he said was suspicious.
Wei Lu spread his hands and pouted: "Ask him what kind of poison he had, and he won't say, he insists on finding it himself, he is so stubborn, what can I do?" ”
This is quite like the style of the teacher, and he really wouldn't say such a thing to Wei Lu. However, in order to detoxify her, how could the poisonous scorpion in the division leave without making a sound, at least I should tell her!
"So, where is the poisonous scorpion?" Liu Ye still didn't believe him.
Wei Lu seemed to expect her to ask this, so he slowly circled around her, and said as he walked: "Master Shi left a message before leaving, saying that it was too late to go back and explain, if someone came to look for him, just wait here for two days." If he doesn't come back in two days, Wei can tell you his whereabouts. ”
"Nonsense!" Chang Hui looked directly at Wei Lu, who was about the same height as him, and slapped the coffee table and shouted, "You said he made us wait here for two days and fart!" How could he believe you, a guy with a lot of lies! ”
"Oh, I admit that I added these words myself, and Master Shi didn't say where to wait, only said to wait for him for two days. When I say this, I just want to get along with Ye'er more often. Hey, it's not a big deal, why are you so excited, you can't say anything well! ”
As soon as Liu Ye saw this situation, he would not find any results if he continued to ask, so he said: "Then let's wait for two days, Master Wei, I'll disturb you to rest, let's talk about it in two days!" Let's go! ”
Wei Lu didn't stop them, looked at Chang Hui's back and said to himself: "Get rid of this eye-catching guy and find out their details, two days is enough!" ”
