Seeing this, Wei Nong breathed a long sigh of relief, and returned to the city with his baggage. Before the curfew in each square, she successfully found the Yingmen Inn with her memory and went to stay.

It was still the shopkeeper, and there was no change from more than five years ago, and Wei Nong reported Qi Zhan's name and the reason for coming here, and the shopkeeper happily led her into the dark room of the inn.

Wei Nong had forgotten what the shopkeeper's surname was, and wanted to ask many times, but he never found a suitable opportunity, until he changed his clothes and settled down, and was about to inquire, but the shopkeeper took the initiative to ask: "When does the girl plan to leave?" ”

Wei Nong shook his head: "Please also help watch the wind in the city, I'll find another chance." ”

The shopkeeper asked no more.

"By the way, I still have a request," now that I have moved in, Wei Nong is no longer polite, "I want to ask you to help me buy a horse, the price is not a problem, it must be a good horse, I want to run back to Youzhou in one go." ”

"Okay." The shopkeeper agreed very happily: "The girl must be tired, let's rest early tonight." ”

"You wait," Wei Nong saw that he was going out, hesitated for a moment, but still opened his mouth, "I have a reluctant request, I want you to help me inquire about the news of Wei Hou Shizi Yuan Che." ”

The shopkeeper nodded expressionlessly, looking like he didn't react at all, at least not his resentment towards Yuan Che. Didn't he know the cause of Qi Zhan's death? Was it covered by King Ning? No, on the night of the sneak attack on the Yan army's camp, it is said that Qi Zhan brought a lot of Momen killers, and those killers must know the inside story, and this matter can't be hidden from Momen.

Thinking of this, he hesitated and asked, "You...... Do you know Qi Zhan's ......?"

"Yes." The shopkeeper nodded.

"Do you know who the killer is?" Wei Nong asked again.

The shopkeeper shook his head, but then said something that shocked Wei Nong: "Qi Gongzi will definitely not die, Momen has a secret recipe for fake death." ”

"What secret ingredient did you say?" Weinong's eyes widened in disbelief.

The shopkeeper sighed: "Momen has stood in the rivers and lakes for a hundred years, if there is no secret recipe for fake death, I don't know how many good people will be killed by mistake." This medicine has helped many people avoid being chased and killed, and many killers have also been incognito, which can be regarded as a way to escape revenge! ”

"OMG!" Wei thick covered his mouth with his hands, barely suppressing his exclamation and the churning in his heart. In an instant, a crazy thought came to her, and she couldn't wait to ask, "My master Ji Fengzhi ...... Know this secret ingredient? ”

This time, the shopkeeper denied it: "Mr. Ji has already quit the Momen, if he knows the secret recipe, the master of the door will not let him leave alive." ”

"Then how do you know that Qi Zhan faked his death?" Wei Nong hurriedly asked, she clearly remembered that the master said that Qi Zhan's intestines were rotten on the spot, and the master had no reason to hide it from her.

"I don't know, I guess," the shopkeeper said frankly, "If Prince Qi is really dead, with the character of the master of the door, he will not endure that there is no movement until now." ”

Reasonable! Wei Nong was overjoyed when she heard this, she believed that the shopkeeper would not lie to her, or rather, she would rather believe in this beautiful conjecture! If Qi Zhan is still alive, will Nie Xingji also be alive? Could it be that the master knew the secret recipe for fake death and used it on them? Saved their lives?

Wei Nong began to think about everything after Nie Xingji's death, and recalled Master Ji Fengzhi's abnormal words and deeds, but many details were plausible in retrospect at this time, she wasn't sure if she was thinking too much about herself, or if Master was really abnormal at that time.

Suddenly, Wei Nong remembered what Master Ji Fengzhi said before leaving, this place was asked by Master to find her! Could it be that the master himself was inconvenient to reveal, so he used the mouth of the shopkeeper of the Yingmen Inn to hint at her?

Although she didn't know Master's motive for doing this, she vaguely felt that this matter must have something to do with Momen! Such a big matter involves the life and death of the commanders of the two armies and the two princes, and it is by no means something that the master alone can conceal! Momen must have been involved! This may be an even bigger secret! Or even a bigger conspiracy!

Whether it's a conspiracy or something else, it's great news! There must be a silver lining, and she won't give up! She'll find out! The more Wei Nong thought about it, the more excited she became, almost crying with joy, and instantly left all the dangers she might face behind, and said impulsively: "Shopkeeper, I want to leave tomorrow, can you help me arrange it?" ”

"You're going to Momen?" The shopkeeper immediately guessed.

Wei Nong nodded: "Yes!" ”

The shopkeeper did not agree or object: "I will inquire about the rumors in the city tomorrow." After that, he walked out of the dark room with the candlestick: "I have wronged the girl tonight, you can rest first." ”

With the departure of the shopkeeper, there was only one candle flame left in the room, which was dark and damp and not ventilated, and there was not even a stove, but the slightly thick heart was hot, and she felt that her whole body was burning, and her blood was boiling!

That night, she couldn't sleep for a long time......

*****

Early the next morning, the shopkeeper sent someone to inquire about the rumors in the city, and when he came back, he told her: "In the second half of yesterday night, the palace guards and the Gyeonggi Defense Department sent out at the same time, all the way out of the city to search, all the way to the city, all the way to search in the city, and today will be about to search here." ”

Wei Nong became nervous when he heard this: "Then what should I do?" ”

"My dark room here is very hidden, it shouldn't be discovered, the aggrieved girl has been hiding here for a few days." The shopkeeper is also very realistic: "Yingmen Inn has been operating in Lidu for ten years, although I can't talk to the officials and masters, but I have some friendship with the soldiers below. I'll take the opportunity to go out of town to buy in two days, how about it? ”

"Great!" Wei Nong was overjoyed: "Thank you for your rescue!" ”

"You are a friend of Mr. Qi and Mr. Ji's apprentice, you should be." The shopkeeper waved his hand.

Wei Nong was no longer polite, and asked again: "Do you know the news of Wei Hou Shizi Yuan Che?" I slipped out of his house last night by burning down, I wonder what happened to him? ”

"I heard that I was injured a little, but I was rescued safely."

"Hurt? Where does it hurt? Wei Nong asked hurriedly.

"It's not clear, it's said that the fire was too big, and I fell when I was rescued, so it shouldn't be a big deal."

Wei Nong's heart calmed down a little, and he asked, "Can King Ning condemn him?" ”

"I only heard about last night's incident, King Ning was furious, but I didn't hear about dealing with Yuan Che."

"Thank you." Wei Nong asked no more questions at this point, thinking that maybe Yuan Che was a little injured, but he would remove King Ning's suspicions about him?

The shopkeeper didn't talk to her, but brought food in and went out to do business. Wei Nong has been staying in the dark room, and I have to say that the sound insulation here is so good that she doesn't know anything about the outside world, and she can't hear the slightest movement.

Waiting is tormenting, especially waiting with anticipation, no one knows how desperate she is to go out, want to go to Momen to find out the life and death of Nie Xingji and Qi Zhan, want to go to the camp in Youzhou to see what Ming Chenyuan has done, want to go back to Yan Country to contain Nie Xingyi, want to ......

There are so many things I want to do! Every extra moment she spent in this dark room made her heart sink a little. In particular, she didn't know how the mechanism to enter and exit the dark room would be opened, and if something happened outside...... She didn't know how to get out of this dark room.

All the worries and anxieties were swept away at the moment when the door of the dark room was reopened, and the shopkeeper walked in as usual and asked Wei Nong: "The two searches have ended, the city is temporarily safe, and the rumors have been transferred outside the city." Are you sure you want to go? ”

Wei Nong couldn't wait to nod her head.

The shopkeeper sighed: "Okay then! You freshen up first, I'll get ready, and I'll be out of town in the afternoon." ”

Wei Nong washed and changed clothes under the arrangement of the shopkeeper, and then realized that he had been hiding in the dark room for not only two days, but three days. She quickly changed into the clothes of the innkeeper and followed the carts and horses out of the city to buy food, and everything went unexpectedly well.

I don't know how much silver the shopkeeper of the Yingmen Inn counted, but the soldiers guarding the city seemed to be very familiar with them, and let them go after a little search.

The shopkeeper was very dedicated, and sent her all the way to the nearby Baicheng before putting it down: "Girl, let's go, although Baicheng no longer belongs to Gyeonggi, but King Ning's men and horses will soon track it down." As he spoke, the shopkeeper handed over her baggage, removed a horse from the carriage, and led her to say, "We are in a hurry, and the old man has been dealing with the search these days, and he has not had time to buy a good horse." This horse is estimated to be unable to run to Youzhou, and you have to change it at least once on the way. ”

Wei Nong was no longer polite, and after thanking him, he led the horse, muttered for a moment, and said, "I still have something I want to ask you to help with." ”

"You're welcome, girl, just say it."

"I have five hundred taels of silver tickets, and I want to entrust you to send them to the largest inn in Baicheng and give them to one person." Wei Nong described the man's physical appearance and explained the transaction between the two in general.

The shopkeeper listened to the cause and effect, and agreed without saying a word: "Girl, don't worry, such a trivial matter is wrapped in the old man." ”

Wei Nong cautiously reminded: "You'd better send someone with an eye to send money, this kind of gambler sees money, if he sees you in Li Du in the future, he may blackmail you, and then things will not be easy to do." ”

The shopkeeper was accustomed to wind and waves, so he nodded and smiled: "Old man understands." ”

Wei Nong is very grateful, and she also knows that this kind of life-saving grace cannot be measured by money at all, and maybe she will never have a chance to repay it in her life.

Over the years, she has unconsciously been involved in court power, accustomed to deceit, conspiracy, intrigue, and conspiracy. She almost forgot that she was once a child of the rivers and lakes, and she also felt the righteousness of the children of the rivers and lakes.

No matter how things change in the world and how the court is overturned, there are always some people who can change their original intentions without being for power, fame and fortune, and transcend the world. In this respect, she is still too far behind, and she is ashamed of herself.

Thinking so in her heart, she said goodbye to the shopkeeper, and with a faint hope, she rode her horse south in the sunset, and went forward.
