Chapter 46: Inquire about the news
"Don't dare?" Duan Heng raised his eyebrows and played with taste: "Since you don't dare, then just do it according to my arrangement." ”
"Ah, this, Third Young Master, what if something happens?" Steward Liu's eyes wandered, and he didn't dare to look at Duan Heng easily.
"I'll take care of it, you just have to do it, I have agreed with the Beijia, as long as you finish it beautifully, the benefits are indispensable to you. Duan Heng's fingers slowly tapped on the sandalwood table, and said in a seductive tone.
When Steward Liu heard this, his face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly said: "The little one thanked the third young master first, and the little one must have completed the things that the third young master explained." After speaking, he bowed and withdrew from the door.
Duan Heng looked at Steward Liu who was leaving, showed a sneer, took a sip of tea, and said, "Ma San." ”
"Young master, I'm here. I saw that an extremely obscene, lowly flattering voice came out, Duan Heng's attendant, Ma San, walked in from three steps outside the door and two steps, "Young Master, what are your orders?"
"How's that happened to what I told you?" Duan Heng raised his eyelids, as if it was natural.
"Hehe, young master, don't worry, I'm different from Steward Liu, I have already prepared what you ordered, just wait for the young master to give an order. Ma San hurriedly reported to Duan Heng the progress of his affairs.
"Well, that's good. My eldest brother believes that someone rescued him, and after so many days, his whereabouts have not been found, it should not be near Luoyu Town, so it is better, as long as he does not appear, my plan this time will be much smoother. At the mention of Duan Qing, Duan Heng sneered again, "However, we still have to make a good statement about his affairs, and when my father is out of the customs, I am afraid that I will understand what happened during his retreat, so that I don't make a mistake, understand?"
"Young master, don't worry, even if he appears, it's useless, no matter what happens this time, he can't stop the young master's plan. Ma San hurriedly patted his chest and promised.
"This is the best, Duan Qing, Duan Qing, I see that you can hide from the killer of the Northern Heavenly Eagle, how can you escape my catastrophe, don't blame my brother for being ruthless, if you want to blame it, blame my father for being too partial, and Duan Hong. "Duan Hong, a thorn in Duan Heng's heart, strong strength, compared with Duan Qing, is the biggest variable in his plan this time, but Duan Heng is still confident that he can control the overall situation.
Sending Ma San down, Duan Hengyou said to a pillar: "Elder Duan Teng, what's the matter, what do you think after listening to it for so long?"
"Hehe, the third young master is so intelligent, both civil and military, he is really the best candidate for the head of the family, how dare I, the district elder, dare to put out the words?" Duan Teng, who was in a black shirt, walked out slowly from behind the pillars, with a knowing smile on his face.
"Yes, I don't think so, Elder Duan Teng went to the Beijia family with me to discuss, although we ostensibly asked the master to ask for the guilt and give an explanation for my brother, but the original intention, I don't say, Elder Duan Teng, you and I also know it. ”
Duan Teng still looked at Duan Heng with a smile, without refuting or answering, he naturally heard what Duan Heng was referring to, however, he seemed to want to know more about what Duan Heng's purpose was in the end.
Duan Heng didn't look at Duan Teng's expression, he only stretched out a finger and said indifferently: "One condition, you only have to promise me one condition, after this matter is completed, I can do without the pure yang of the Pure Yang Sect, and I can also give up the sect qualifications, but you must also fully support me." ”
When Duan Teng heard this, his smile gradually calmed down, his eyes fluctuated for a while, and it seemed that no matter how good he was, Duan Heng was not in a hurry to let him make a decision, and still put forward his own conditions: " You should also know that in the Duan family, your position has always been suppressed by several other elders, especially the Great Elder, although I have a good relationship with some of the elders, and they are willing to assist me in winning the position of the head of the family, but the Great Elder is the second brother's person, if you want to change the current situation, the best choice is to cooperate with me, as long as you help me become the head of the Duan family, then, the benefits of the Pure Yang Sect and the conditions for the beginning of the North Family, I will give them to you. ”
"Is this true?" Duan Teng heard Duan Teng's suggestion, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said eagerly.
"Seriously, it's more true than Jinshi. ”
"Okay, since the Third Young Master has given in like this, then I, Duan Teng, will cooperate with the Third Young Master once, and at that time, I will thank the Third Young Master for his decision today. Duan Teng smiled knowingly, thought about it for a while, and quickly changed his words: "No, look at me, I should call you the head of the family." ”
Duan Heng naturally accepted the other party's flattery, and he also enjoyed it very much, looking forward to that day in his heart.
..
On the other side, Duan Qing had already left the Demon Beast Forest Sea and headed in the direction of Luoyu Town.
When Duan Qing walked for a while, he was already able to see the road.
Moreover, judging from the width of the road and the mud, this should be the escort plank road for several towns. Duan Qing squatted on the side of the road and stretched out his hand to judge.
"Up ahead, that's, the tea pavilion. Duan Qing stood up again and looked ahead, but saw a green flagpole standing on the side of the road, with a tea word on it, which made it easy to identify, and next to the flagpole, there was a small tea pavilion.
Duan Qing hurriedly ran over, and at this time, there were only three or four people in the tea pavilion, each sitting on the tea table drinking tea and talking.
Duan Qing found a tea table where no one was, and the big horse golden knife sat down, and a person who looked like Xiao Er hurriedly stepped forward, first looked at Duan Qing's dress, and then said with some doubts: "Guest officer, what do you need?" Although Duan Qing was in tatters, the look between his eyebrows showed a good bearing, which also made Xiao Er dare not speak casually, and asked politely.
"Bring me a pot of your good tea and some snacks. Duan Qing was not polite, and ordered some refreshments at random.
"Okay, I'll be right here. Xiao Er shouted, and went to the back to prepare.
"It's still hundreds of miles away from Luoyu Town, and it will take at least three days or so to rush back. Duan Qing was also a little uneasy at this time, and for some reason, he was faintly uneasy and impatient in his heart.
"Alas, have you heard? Recently, the Luo family in Luojia Town had a batch of good goods to pass through Hutou Mountain, and the bandits on Hutou Mountain blatantly sent out a message, claiming that as long as the Luo family's goods passed through Hutou Mountain, they would be looted. Not far behind Duan Qing, a man whispered to the man beside him, the two seemed to be companions.
Although his voice is very small, how can he hide it from Duan Qing's ears, as a martial artist, the five senses are much stronger than ordinary people, so Duan Qing still listened to the other party's conversation very clearly, and this is also the first time that Duan Qing has learned the news of other towns except Luoyu Town.
"Guest, here's what you wanted. Xiao Er was ready to eat, put it on the table of love, and left.
"Oh, those bandits in Hutou Mountain dare to be so arrogant, aren't they afraid that the people of the Luo family will take their bandit nest?" the other man suddenly came to his senses and asked curiously.
"Hehe, if it was before, maybe those guys in Hutou Mountain would not dare to be so bold, but this time is different from the past, I heard that there are quite rare treasures in the Luo family's goods, which are priceless. The man explained unhurriedly, and glanced at his companion, who also put his head over in understanding.
The man put his mouth close to the other party's ear and cautiously revealed: "I heard that there is Xijin in the Luo family's goods this time." ”
"Xijin!" the companion shouted in surprise when he heard it, and the companion's voice made the other tea drinkers pause for a while.
But the man hurriedly patted him on the head and pressed him down, and said to others, including Duan Qing, with some embarrassment: "Haha, everyone keep drinking, keep drinking, he is talking nonsense, hehe, nonsense." ”
The others gave him a disdainful look and lowered their heads to drink their tea.
"Xijin. Duan Qing lowered his head and drank tea, but he heard the words of the two clearly, although it was not ruled out that the truth of the man's news was true, but Duan Qing happened to need some casting materials.
However, he naturally wouldn't go over now and ask the other party for more accurate information, and after these people were almost gone, Duan Qing said softly: "Little Er, settle the bill." ”
"Okay, guest officer, a total of one or two silver. ”
Duan Qing took out a spar from his arms and threw it on the table, Xiao Er's eyes lit up suddenly, he quickly picked up the spar, looked at it carefully, and said with some doubts: "Guest officer, who are you?"
"I want to know the news about the Luo family in Luojia Town, as well as the exact time of the shipment they are going to ship, and the location of Hutou Mountain, tell me that this spar is yours. "Naturally, Duan Qing has no silver on his body, but there are a lot of spars, basically, in these towns, the currency in circulation is divided into two kinds, gold and silver and spars, but most of the gold and silver are not very valuable.
He took out this spar to learn some information from Xiao Er's mouth, because he was interested in the Luo family's batch of goods.
"Luo family!haha, guest officer, you are so polite, if you want to inquire about the news, you can ask the right person, within a radius of 100 miles, I know everything clearly, that is, I know how many cubs Aunt Ma's dog next door had. Xiao Eryi listened to Duan Qing's request, and he was also incoherent with excitement, and he quickly took the spar into his arms, and only then did he recover his demeanor in Duan Qing's eyes that he wanted to kill.
"Hehe, I'm sorry, I can't stop for a while, I can't hide it, Luojia Town is the Luo family, this I believe the guest officer must know, not long ago, I heard that the Luo family got a lot of treasures from nowhere, and made a deal with the North family in Luoyu Town. ”
"Beijia!" Duan Qing's eyes flashed with a cold glint without a trace, "continued. ”
"Well, although I don't know what exactly is in that cargo, everyone says that it is probably the precious Xijin, and I think this is probably true, because this escort team is also the largest in recent years. ”
"What about Hutou Mountain?" Duan Qing immediately thought of the Luo family and the old knife, but Lin Yi and they returned to Heavenly Wolf Town, so they shouldn't know the news.
"Hutou Mountain is a mountain in the west of Luojia Town, because it is on the way to escort the plank road, so most of the goods transportation has to pass through them. ”
