Two men and two horses, dressed in the light of the moonlight, marched through the empty streets, shrouded in a quiet death-like atmosphere, which seemed both mighty and tall, magical and mysterious. Heaven's Voice'.2.

Seeing the two of them riding towards each other, the sound of horses' hooves was loud in their ears, Cuiyu, Dazhi and Boss Wu hurriedly hid behind the trees on the side of the road, and with the help of the dim sky, they successfully let these two guys who were riding tall horses and were full of swearing.

The two seemed to be arguing over something, but because they drank too much and spoke too fast, their tongues could not bend, they were slurred, and they were both local accents, and Jade could not understand the meaning of their words.

When Cuiyu, Dazhi and Boss Wu came out from behind the trees again and returned to the street, they could no longer see the figures of the two people, only the sound of horses' hooves was crisp and distant, and the three of them stared at the direction where the two were going, and only came back to their senses after a few seconds.

"Leave them alone for now," said Boss Wu, "Let's inquire about this tavern first, maybe we can learn the identities of those two people from the shopkeeper, and it's not too late to make a decision." ”

Jade and Dazhi nodded, and the three of them headed towards the tavern.

The tavern was the size of a house, with four small square tables, which were dimly lit by soybean-sized oil lamps, but welcoming. When Cuiyu and them walked into the tavern, there were no customers in the store, and the boss was cleaning up the house, and when he saw Cuiyu and them coming in, he said indifferently: "Don't look at the sky, it's too late, the store is closed." ”

"Uncle, you misunderstood," Cuiyu said with a smile, "We're not here for a drink, just ask about something and leave." ”

"I'm a tavern here," the boss said as he glanced coldly at Jade and set the stool on the table, "You're not here to drink, why are you coming to my tavern?"

"Uncle," said Cuiyu with a pleasant face, "I want to ......"

"Don't think about anything," the boss interrupted Jade, waving his hand, "Let's go, I'm closing." ”

"I ......" Jade shook her head in disappointment, helplessly.

"Boss," Boss Wu tugged on Cuiyu's sleeve, took two steps forward, stood beside the tavern owner, and said lightly, "In these years, there have been chaos and banditry, and it is not easy to live, no one can rely on it, so you can only rely on yourself." As a trader, everyone knows that only what is carried on oneself is one's own, and there are still dealers who can't get along with money?"

"What are you ......" The boss put down the stool in his hand, turned around, looked Boss Wu up and down, and asked coldly, "Your words are too winding, I didn't understand what you mean." ”

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand my words," Boss Wu took out a stack of Xian Dayang from his pocket when he spoke, and kept shaking his arm, Xian Dayang clicked up and down in his palm, and said with a smile, "You just need to understand this thing." ”

"Brother Tai's qi is magnificent," the tavern owner's face suddenly changed greatly, his smile even squeezed out the wrinkles at the corners of his mouth, his head jumped up and down with the ocean in Boss Wu's hand, and his eyes were always staring at the ocean, until Boss Wu held the ocean tightly in his hand, he stopped shaking his head and said with a smile, "Brother Tai is not an ordinary person, he has definitely seen the big people in the world......"

Cuiyu shook her head and glanced at the tavern owner, and scolded in her heart, what a chameleon, when he didn't see the benefits, he was cold and wanted to reject people thousands of miles away, this time he saw the money, and the change was so big, not only the face changed, but even the strong attitude just now also changed, not only the folds on his face, but also the nodding and waist, it was like two people.

"I like to deal with people like you," continued the tavernkeeper, "and are reasonable, steady, generous, and generous, unlike those who have never seen the world, who can't get to the point, and can't get things done......"

I was disgusted by this face, and if it weren't for business, I wouldn't have looked at this villain more, and I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to help but vomit out what I ate at night...... Jade squinted at the tavern keeper and thought.

"In that case," Boss Wu smiled and said lightly, "Does the boss still let us stand and talk?"

"Oh," said the tavern keeper with a smile, stooping down in a hurry, wiping three stools with his sleeve, "how can you stand and talk?"

The tavern owner brought a pot of hot tea, poured it for the guests, and said with a smile: "It's just that it's too late and the stove fire has been extinguished, otherwise I will cook myself and cook a few good dishes for the guests." ”

"Boss don't have to be polite," Boss Wu said, "As soon as we entered the door, we said that we are not here to drink, we want to ask you about something, you don't have to be busy, sit down, let's talk." ”

"Inquiring?" the tavernkeeper's voice was very small, and his mood became much lighter.

"You heard me right. Boss Wu placed a piece of Xian Dayang on the table and pushed it towards the tavern owner.

The tavern owner picked up the ocean, bit it hard, looked at the ocean carefully and did not leave a tooth mark, then pinched the silver dollar with the nails of his thumb and middle finger, put it to his mouth and blew it, and then put it to his ear to make sure that the silver dollar was not fake, and said with a smile: "Okay, you say, I have to listen to what you inquire, if I know, I will tell the truth, if I don't know......"

"If you don't know," Boss Wu said lightly, "Then blame me for the bad luck of these silver dollars, and still haven't found their owner." If you tell a lie, I think you should be able to guess the end, and I hope we don't have any regrets!"

"Okay, good," the tavern owner licked his lips, his eyes were as sharp as knives, staring at the silver dollar in Boss Wu's hand, and only promised, "Don't worry, you know everything." You ask, ask, as long as I know, it will definitely satisfy you. ”

"See the money!" Jadeite sighed quietly.

"Don't talk nonsense," Boss Wu glanced at Cuiyu, then turned to the tavern owner, and asked in a low voice, "How is your business here lately, what customers come to you every day to eat and drink, why is you the only one on the whole street open?"

"Business is very good!" said the boss proudly, "It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a couplet at the door, it is really a prosperous business from all over the world, and the wealth is rich in three rivers......

Just when the tavern owner was gushing in the face of the silver dollar, Qiao Xiaojing, Ah Zi and the big man had already arrived in the north of the town.

"It's pitch black everywhere," sighed the big man, "and there isn't even a figure, and who knows where the dozen or so robbers are." How good it would be if Sun Wukong gave an order, the land lords everywhere would come out, and they would know where the thieves' nest was when they asked. ”

"Why do you still think about that?" Ah Zi said, "If Sun Wukong really exists, there won't be so many messy things in this world, there won't be so many messy bad guys, and of course there won't be anything wrong with us." He beat the Japanese devils back to his hometown with a golden stick, and smashed the traitors, traitors, and bullies who plagued the common people with the second stick......"

"Don't make a sound," suddenly Qiao Xiaojing said, "it seems that there is the sound of horses' hooves." ”

Qiao Xiaojing, Ah Zi and the big man stood still, listening attentively, and indeed there was a faint sound of horses' hooves.

"Hide first," Qiao Xiaojing said, "Let's see the situation." ”

"In my opinion," Zi looked back and forth, left and right, and whispered, "those bandits are around here, and we are almost touching their den of thieves." ”

"There are ruins and broken walls over there," the big man saw an abandoned courtyard on the right-hand side, so he grabbed Ah Zi and whispered, "Let's go and hide first!"

Qiao Xiaojing, Ah Zi and the big man hid behind a broken wall, secretly looking at the empty street......

In the tavern, the bean-sized lights flickered and flickered, and the whole tavern glowed with a faint yellow light.

Jade, Dazhi, and Boss Wu look at the tavern owner who is boasting about his business.

"Okay," Boss Wu interrupted the tavern owner's words, put two oceans on the table, and pushed them to the tavern owner, and asked lightly, "Not long ago, there were two guest officers drinking at your place, and they both rode big horses back and forth. ”

The tavern owner excitedly picked up the two oceans in front of him, put them to his lips and took a breath of hot air, and then carefully wiped them with his sleeve, with a posture of never giving up until he wiped off a layer of skin from the silver dollar. I didn't have the heart to listen to Boss Wu's words at all, and said perfunctorily: "There is indeed such a thing, you go on!"

"Okay," Boss Wu gave Dazhi a look, Dazhi understood, got up and walked out of the tavern, and Boss Wu continued, "Tell us, who are those two people riding high-headed horses, what are they doing, why do they dare to drink on the street so late, aren't they afraid of encountering robbers?"

"Hmph," the tavern owner glanced at Boss Wu with disdain, and said in a disdainful tone, "You really like to worry about idleness, they are robbers, are they still afraid ......of encountering robbers?"

Speaking of this, the tavern owner realized that he had talked too much, and suddenly stopped, looking at Boss Wu and Cuiyu with a little panic. His lips moved slightly, as if he had something to say, but he didn't say anything. He took the tea in front of him and drank it down, and then paced back and forth in the room, looking very nervous and restless.

"What's wrong?" Boss Wu stood up with a smile on his face.

"Here you go," the tavern owner took out the three coins that Boss Wu had just given him from his pocket, handed them to Boss Wu, and pushed and said, "Take your ocean and go, I'm afraid that I have the life to make money but I don't have the life to spend money, you get out of here quickly, I'm closing, I'm closing." Don't come here again, I haven't seen you today, and you haven't seen me. ”

"I've seen people doing business," Boss Wu shook his head and said, "I haven't seen anyone doing business like you, and a lot of the ocean is in front of you, and you don't make any money." Besides, we are customers, how can there be a businessman like you who takes customers out?"

"It's useless," said the tavern keeper, "I'm the businessman who drives the guests out, what's the matter?" It's true that I'm a businessman, but I'm just like you, even if I carry a head on my shoulders, I'm afraid of death. ”

As he spoke, he had already pushed Boss Wu and Cuiyu out of the tavern, and then closed the door.

And Qiao Xiaojing, Ah Zi and the big man, who lived in the north of the town, were hiding behind the broken wall, when they heard the sound of horses' hooves getting louder and louder, and gradually saw two people and two horses galloping from the darkness, and came to them in the blink of an eye.

"Go in and have a look!" one pointed ahead, and the two rode their horses and galloped, rushing into the courtyard where Qiao Xiaojing and they were.
