Chapter 43 Kyushu Dart Bureau
The two men urged their horses, and it was not long before they reached the place where they had previously separated. The eight men had come out of hiding.
"These horses are a little thin, but it is no problem to jog for a few hours, you get on your horses, and we will hurry. We walked all the way down the official road and found a place to stay before dark. β
Everyone rode forward, leaving only dust and smoke all the way. In today's era of war and chaos, Ma Yun's group of people is also very conspicuous, not dressed as soldiers, but also riding horses, then they must be the heroes of the rivers and lakes. However, everyone was in rags, and they didn't look like a big man, which caused passers-by to look and hide, thinking they were robbers.
On both sides of the official road, the grass is overgrown, the bones are thick, and the stragglers appear from time to time, robbing the passing merchants, and passers-by often follow the dart bureau or the chamber of commerce before they dare to move forward together. The crowd marched for a long time, but did not come across a place to feed the horses, and finally saw a team of merchants in a hurry.
"Young man, seeing that the sky is about to get dark, the team in front of us should reach a resting place, let's slow down and follow them. β
"Just according to Brother Tong's words. β
The crowd slowed down and rode horses to follow the group. After the team found Ma Yun and the others, there was a commotion immediately, and then the team stopped, and a majestic man in white rode out of the team and walked towards Ma Yun and the others.
It was only a few feet away that the man stopped. hugged Ma Yun and the others, and said loudly: "Ma Wenyuan, the white-clothed dart master in the Lower Kyushu Dart Bureau." I don't know if you guys are following me, but what's the matter?" The man's words were soft and firm, secretly revealing a hint of domineering.
Hearing the man's words, Tong Guanshan laughed: "It turned out to be the white-clothed dart master of the Kyushu Dart Bureau, I am fortunate to be lucky." We are in a hurry, but we are not familiar with the road, and if it is getting dark to-day, we must have a resting place to rest on your way, and then we may give the horses some fodder. β
Ma Wenyuan swept everyone a few times, looked at the weapons on everyone's backs, frowned, and said: "Since this is the case, then don't disturb all the heroes, there is an inn about two miles ahead." After saying that, he hugged his fists, turned around and returned to the group, and after a while, the team slowly marched again.
"Brother Tong, I know the Kyushu Dart Bureau, what level is the white-clothed dart master?" Ma Yun asked curiously, over the past year or so, Ma Yun has learned a lot about this Kyushu, from the history of Kyushu to the customs of the characters, and knows a lot, as for what Kyushu Dart Bureau, the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, and the Golden Hook Gambling House all know, he knows that this Kyushu Dart Game is the largest Dart Game in Kyushu, and every city in Kyushu has their rudder, and the strength is so strong that it can be imagined.
"The white-clothed dart masters of the Kyushu Dart Bureau are all high-level martial artists!" Tong Guanshan said with a smile.
"What, high-level martial artists, how many high-level martial artists are there in the Kyushu Dart Bureau?" Ma Yun was extremely surprised in his heart, he originally thought that there were few masters like him, who would have thought that a dart master was a high-level martial artist.
"Tong'an City also has the rudder of the Kyushu Dart Bureau, the person in charge there is the white-clothed dart master, I am familiar with him, according to him, as long as the rudder must have the white-clothed dart master, and some large cities have several white-clothed dart divisions. Below the white-clothed dart master are the purple-clothed dart masters, all of whom are intermediate martial artists, and as for the ordinary black-clothed dart masters, they are junior martial artists, and they are mostly used for miscellaneous work. β
"This Kyushu Dart Bureau is worthy of being one of the major civil forces in Kyushu, and its strength far exceeds that of ordinary city lords. Ma Yun said with emotion.
"The Kyushu dynasty has changed many times, but this Kyushu dart game has always existed, and its strength is unimaginable. β
As Ma Wenyuan said, it didn't take long for there to be an inn next to the official road, although the inn is simple, but the scale is also grand, in addition to the two-story building on the faΓ§ade, there are several rows of houses behind, what amazes Ma Yun is the sign hanging at the door of the inn: there is an inn. That's right, the inn is called: There is an inn.
"Brother Tong, there is an inn here, wouldn't it be...?"
"That's right, this is an inn in Kyushu. Inns can be found all over Kyushu City. There are two major news organizations in Kyushu, one is an inn, and the other is Bliss Fang. They get the news from the mouths of the three sects and the pawns of the peddlers, and then analyze and judge it. If you want to know something, as long as you can afford it, they will definitely get it for you. β
"I didn't expect to encounter these powerful organizations after only one day out of the mountain. There is a sky outside the sky, there are mountains outside the mountains, and there are people outside the people. Our Xiong'an Village, in front of them, is insignificant. β
"Don't be discouraged, Shaoxia, we also want to build Xiong'an Village into a big village with the same name as Beihong Village!"
"It will be!" Ma said firmly.
When Ma Yun and the others arrived at an inn, they didn't see the people of the Kyushu Dart Bureau, they should have gone to a separate courtyard.
"Xiao Er, is there still a room, we have to rest here. β
"A few guest officers, there are no more lower rooms, only a few upper rooms, how many do you want to stay?" Looking at everyone's shabby dresses, Xiao Er asked hesitantly.
"Well, let's get five upper rooms, prepare a table of wine and food, and bring the horses to feed some fodder. I've given you this bit of silver. After Tong Guanshan finished speaking, he took out some broken silver from his sleeve and handed it to Xiao Er. Xiao Er's face was immediately filled with smiles, and he led the few people to an elegant courtyard and tied the horses to the stable.
"Wait a minute, the wine and food will come to you immediately, and the wine and food in our store will satisfy you. After saying that, he retreated.
"Brother Tong, you are very comfortable with this bribery and reward!" Ma Yun said with a smile.
"Haha, Brother Tong has more experience in the rivers and lakes than you, and a little money can often save a lot of trouble. What's more, the owner of the village, you have silver!"
"It's not your own money that costs your feelings!" the crowd laughed. The wine and food were soon on the table, and Tong Guanshan took out a silver needle and tested the wine and food one by one before letting everyone eat it.
"Brother Tong, you are too careful, there is an inn that is famous in the rivers and lakes, how can you use indiscriminate means against guests. β
"It's always right to be careful in everything, although this inn is famous, but if you and I are poisoned to destroy the corpse, outsiders will not know. β
"Brother Tong's words are very true. Ma Yun nodded admiringly, if you say that Lao Cheng is serious, this Tong Guanshan will not let go.
"Drink two taels per person to satisfy your cravings, you must not drink too much, and you have to hurry tomorrow morning. Tong Guanshan gave another order.
After everyone had eaten and drank, it was already dark, and they went back to their houses to rest.
Ma Yun and Tong Guanshan were in the same room, but Ma Yun didn't feel the slightest sleep, and went out by himself after talking to Tong Guanshan. Tong Guanshan has absolute confidence in Ma Yun's martial arts, and these two times he was safe and sound after being poisoned, and there was no problem going out.
Ma Yun first inspected the stable, and the forage was sufficient. Only then did he walk out of the small courtyard and look around, only the two-story building in front was brightly lit, and he walked slowly to the small building.
After walking a few steps, I noticed a hidden courtyard built next to the woods, and there were two purple-clothed warriors standing at the door, probably the purple-clothed dart master in the Tongguan Mountain Pass, and it seemed that the people from the Kyushu Dart Bureau lived in that courtyard.
After a few glances, he walked to the small building again. The small building was bustling, with people sitting in groups of three or five eating, drinking, and talking. Ma Yun found a remote unmanned table, asked for a pot of wine, and sat there listening to everyone's discussions.
"I heard that no, the city is about to run out of food, and in less than two months, you can only surrender without a fight!"
"What are you fighting for, there is also a war in Bingzhou and Yanzhou, where will there be reinforcements. It is better to surrender early, and the soldiers will be spared the suffering of war. β
"Tong'an City's Bliss Fang has recently changed its top card, and the glamorous ones can't look at it directly, when are we going to see it!"
"You're not afraid that the tigress at home will find out and let you sleep in the thatched house!"
"The Black Wind Village near Jiayuan City seems to have been wiped out by a group of strongmen, and now it is renamed Xiong'an Village, which is widely used by people from all over the world. β
"No, the Black Wind Village soldiers are strong and strong, and the owner of the village is even more strong in martial arts, how can it be exterminated!"
"I also heard that it is said that another group of strongmen occupied the cottage, and a few days ago Jiayuan City sent troops to encircle and suppress it, and returned defeated, and the main generals were all killed. β
Unexpectedly, he could still hear the news of Xiong'an Village here, and Ma Yun couldn't help laughing.
It wasn't until the middle of the night that the drinkers gradually dispersed, and Ma Yun threw away a piece of broken silver, got up and left the small building.
As soon as Ma Yun stepped into the resting courtyard, he heard many screams all around, and then a cold and loud voice floated in the night sky: "Idle people stay in the house, and those who leave the house will die!" Ma Yun hesitated for a moment and entered the resting room.
Everyone in Tong Guanshan was also awakened by the voice, and just when they saw Ma Yun coming back, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Shaoxia, you just came back from outside, do you know what happened outside?" Ma Yun shook his head.
"Someone who came dared to openly kill someone in an inn is really not small.
"Brother Tong, stay in the house, I'll go out and have a look." β
"Be careful. Turn off the lights. β
After the lights went out, Ma Yun quietly walked out of the house, and the horses in the stable seemed to be frightened and couldn't stop neighing.
Ma Yun jumped lightly, jumped on the roof, leaned on the roof and looked around, and found that the entire inn was dark at this time, only the courtyard where the Kyushu inn was located was lit by fire, and the figures flickered.
"Sure enough, it's coming to the Kyushu Dart Bureau. When the screams rang out, Ma Yun's intuition was that the Kyushu dart game was a problem. After some deliberation, he decided to take a closer look at the situation.
Ma Yun leaned on the roof and listened quietly, heard a slight sound from a tree, felt a piece of broken silver in his arms, threw it into the distance, and quietly sneaked behind the tree, and sure enough, he saw a black shadow on the tree, leaning in the direction of the sound. Ma Yun jumped up, and before the black shadow could react, he was slapped in the back of the head by Ma Yun and fainted.
Ma Yun lay on the tree, and after making sure that there was nothing unusual around, he jumped down from the tree and lurked on another tree more than ten zhang away from the Kyushu Dart Bureau.
Lying on the tree, I can see and hear everything in the courtyard clearly.
I saw more than a dozen people in a circle, guarding a carriage full of goods, and Ma Wenyuan, who I saw during the day, was also in the ranks, but at this time he was holding a sword in one hand and covering his chest with the other, looking very painful.
Among the dozen or so people, there was another person who was also dressed in white, but he didn't expect that there were two white-clothed dart masters, and the goods in the carriage must be extremely precious.
Another large group of masked men in black surrounded the dart board, and three masked men stood motionless on the roof, seemingly the leader of the men in black.
At the same time, Ma Yun saw a black shadow flying towards the courtyard quickly, and when he looked closer, the man was round and fat, wearing a watermelon hat, holding a golden abacus in his hand, and several figures rushed out of the darkness, all of which were knocked to the ground by him several times.
Soon the man was outside the courtyard. I only heard the man say softly: "If you have something to say, why bother to fight and kill! Harmony makes money, harmony produces wealth!"
