Chapter 486: The Bead Tire Secret Knot
readx;
The person who came looked about forty years old, eight feet tall, with a long tiger's back and a bear's waist, a body of exaggerated muscles that propped up the wide coat, and the whole person gave people a strong sense of strength when he stood there, compared to his strong figure, the steel knife hanging on his waist seemed a little stingy, and he felt that this kind of person's more competent weapon should be a copper hammer and iron gun, not an ordinary size waist knife.

As soon as this person entered the door, he had horizontal eyebrows, squinted eyes, garlic nose, and from a distance, the bridge of his nose collapsed as if there was nothing, and the mouth covered with stubble around him was a mouthful of uneven yellow teeth, coupled with the face full of potholes, the whole person looked very ugly. And it is such a person who is not good-looking, but has a good identity. He is a banner master of the Southern Frontier Guard Mansion, named Zheng Xiang. But when ordinary people see it, they basically have to call him 'Lord Zheng', this Zheng Xiang is considered a person with a high status among the ten banner masters of the Frontier Guard Mansion, and he is also one of the close henchmen of Zhu Wushou, the governor of the Southern Xinjiang Frontier Guard Mansion. It is said that before Zhu Wushou came to southern Xinjiang to take office, Zheng Xiang had already served by his side.
At this moment, the swords in the Kinmen Post Station were facing each other, and the big battle was about to break out, but Zheng Xiang suddenly led people to break into the post station, which undoubtedly broke this dead end. At the same time, it also brings an opportunity for the eager Half the Sky to alleviate the crisis
"Oops! Now that the Banner Lord has arrived, why don't you hurry up and put the guy away? Could it be that you still want to use force in front of the Banner Master?" Banbiantian reacted very quickly, she welcomed Zheng Xiang in with a smile, and kept waving the peach blossom fan in her hand, as if urging Lu Yifan and Jiu Ye to stop fighting.
"What's going on?" Zheng Xiang gently flicked the rain-stained hat with his hand, and his eyes coldly glanced at Lu Yifan and the Ninth Master. At this moment, in the lobby of the post station, the diners looked at each other, and the subordinates of the ninth master stood there with knives in their eyes, all of them were dumbfounded, and now it is not a fight or not, the scene is not embarrassing.
"It's all a misunderstanding!" Half the Sky smiled and stretched out her hand to pat the rain for Zheng Xiang, and when she spoke, the whole person couldn't wait to stick to Zheng Xiang, which shows that Half the Sky is really unreserved when it comes to men.
"Misunderstanding?" Zheng Xiang first glanced at half the sky suspiciously, then looked at the ninth master with a frown, and shouted loudly, "Old Jiu, is you old boy making trouble here?"
"Lord Zheng, this time I was offended by a group of stunned young people who didn't understand the rules, it's definitely not that I'm looking for trouble!" "The Ninth Master is actually talking nonsense with his eyes open at the moment, just now the entire lobby has witnessed how the Ninth Master took the initiative to find trouble, at this moment he actually shirked himself first, and then looked at his innocent expression, as if he had really been wronged, he couldn't see the meaning of acting at all, and he even waved his hand at the full house of diners, and opened his mouth," Don't you believe me, ask the other guests here to see if it's my fault this time?"
"Shameless!" Hearing the words of the Ninth Master, Lan Chen couldn't help but curse coldly.
Hearing the Ninth Master's defense, Zheng Xiang turned his head to the Yulou and the others again, and after searching around, he slowly turned his gaze to Lu Yifan, who was sitting not far away. Zheng Xiang is also a banner master who has been in southern Xinjiang for many years, and this bit of eyesight is still available. The moment he saw Lu Yifan, he was secretly taken aback in his heart, because he was also a martial arts cultivator, and he couldn't detect Lu Yifan's breath at all. And there are only two possibilities in this situation, one is that Lu Yifan's cultivation is much higher than his own, and the other is that Lu Yifan has no cultivation at all. But at this moment, the scene and posture in the post station, Lu Yifan doesn't look like the latter.
"Who are you?" Zheng Xiang asked in a loud voice, "Why are you making trouble here?"
"In Xia Lutian, I transported some tea and spices to the spiritual realm for my family, so I passed through Kinmen Pass, and it happened to be a rainstorm that had to take a temporary break at the Kinmen Station!" Lu Yifan replied very succinctly, "Everything is as the shopkeeper said, but there was a misunderstanding just now, but now that the flag master has arrived, then I think there will be nothing wrong!"
"Do business?" Zheng Xiang looked at Lu Yifan and a few people suspiciously, and then sneered with bad intentions, "People come and go here every day, and each of them says that they are doing business, but in fact they all carry swords! I don't think you guys are good people!"
"What did you say?"
"Yin Xi!" Without waiting for Yin Xi to reprimand angrily, Lu Yifan interrupted him first, "Don't be rude to the flag master!"
"Hmph! There is a problem when you look at it!" Zheng Xiang scolded unceremoniously, "Where are your tea leaves and spices?"
"My lord, our tea and spices are sealed in the carriage outside the post station, you also know that tea and spices are dry things, now the weather is hot and humid, if you open the seal, I am afraid that these goods will soon become damp and moldy, and then we will send them to other people's houses There is no way to explain!" Yulou stepped forward and explained, "My lord, do you see if this matter can be accommodating......
"No way!"
In the face of Yulou's kind words and persuasion, Zheng Xiang refused to give even the slightest affection, and directly waved his hand and shouted: "The owner of this banner was ordered to inspect the Kinmen Post Station, but found that you were fighting privately with knives in the post station, and now I suspect that you are not doing business at all, and you must have other intentions when you come to Kinmen Pass, so I will investigate you to the end in accordance with the rules of the Border Guard Mansion."
Take me to your carriage now, and I'll see what I'm going to do!"
Seeing Zheng Xiang attacking Lu Yifan and his gang, Jiu Ye's face couldn't help but show a smug smile, and the embarrassment of losing face just now also dissipated a lot at this moment, but now he looks like he is waiting to see a good show.
With Zheng Xiang's aggressiveness, Lu Yifan's face gradually sank. Seeing this, Yulou hurriedly took two steps forward and walked directly in front of Zheng Xiang, the two were only one step apart, and then without waiting for Zheng Xiang to ask, Yulou took out a thick pile of silver tickets from his arms and stuffed them directly into Zheng Xiang's arms.
"Lord Zheng, our son-in-law has just arrived, and he still wants to smile at his little meaning!" Yulou stepped forward and whispered in a low voice, "Tea and spices really can't see the tide, you can see ......"
"Ahem!" Feeling a pile of silver tickets bulging in his arms, Zheng Xiang couldn't help coughing lightly twice, and then the anger on his face gradually subsided, replaced by a look of satisfaction, and half of the sky on the side looked in his eyes but itched in his heart, the pile of silver tickets to see she almost drooled, Zheng Xiang looked around a little before he pulled his throat and said, "You don't dare to play any tricks in my territory, stay in the post station steadily, and leave here quickly when the rain stops!"
"That's! that's!" Yulou smiled and nodded in agreement, "Lord Zheng brought his brother here today to eat something, my son-in-law is willing to feast together!"
"That's not necessary, this flag master is not here to find you!" Zheng Xiang waved his hand and directly rejected the good intentions of the Jade Tower, and then glanced at everyone in the lobby, and shouted heavily, "Lao Tzu is here to find someone today, the 'ground mouse' has come to Jinmen Pass in the past two days, have any of you seen him?" The chin is pointed, and what is more prominent is the pair of triangular mouse eyes, which don't look like a good person no matter how you look at it. Lu Yifan only glanced at the portrait of this ground mouse, and lost his good impression of this person in his heart.
"What's the matter?" Half the Sky seemed to be familiar with the ground mouse, and she just glanced at the portrait of the ground mouse, and then asked curiously, "I haven't seen him in months!"
"This thing that doesn't know whether to live or die actually took advantage of the torrential rain to sneak into the Border Guard Mansion two nights ago, and also stole a few antique calligraphy and paintings from the governor!" Zheng Xiang said viciously, "I think this time I am really looking for death!"
"This ground rat is really getting more and more bold, and he used to do some bad things of petty theft, but now the more he steals, the more daring he becomes, and he even steals to the Border Guard Mansion?" Half of the Sky exclaimed in surprise, "But Lord Zheng don't worry, this ground rat who killed a thousand knives is looking for his own death this time, and he will definitely show up in a few days!"
"You really haven't seen him?" Zheng Xianghu asked suspiciously.
"A few months ago, the ground rat stole the money from my post station, and since then he has not dared to appear here!" said with a snort, "Dare to steal the old lady's money, if I catch him, he must look good! If Lord Zheng catches the ground mouse, please send someone to tell me, I also want to take a good look at what will happen to this damn thing!"
"The governor has an order, after this ground rat is caught, it will be a dead end! You all show me clearly, if anyone sees him, report it to the border guard mansion quickly, otherwise they will all be treated as accomplices!" Zheng Xiang said and once again examined the diners in the lobby one by one, but because more than half of the candles had just been blown out, and the black clouds outside covered the sun, the light in the hall was extremely dim, and everyone's appearance could only be roughly seen, and they couldn't really see it at all. But this is not the first time Zheng Xiang has dealt with this ground mouse, so he confidently knows the appearance of the ground mouse well, so he only swept around with his eyes, and he has already determined that there is no such person in this lobby
"Forget it, don't mention this unhappy ground mouse, Lord Zheng finally patronized my Kinmen Station, what are you going to eat today?"
Hearing this, Zheng Xiang's right hand slammed Banbiantian's buttocks, which made Banbiantian exclaim in shock, and then the whole person subconsciously bounced away from Zheng Xiang's side. Looking at Zheng Xiang again, he laughed and said, "I don't eat anything today, I just want to eat you!"
"If you want to die, you dare to take advantage of the old lady, I don't think you are a fuel-efficient lamp!" Banbiantian pretended to be angry and scolded Zheng Xiang, "Man, call these brothers from the Border Guard Mansion for the old lady, I want to catch up with Lord Zheng! Also, clean up the three upper rooms for Lu Gongzi and them, and the old lady decided to give this room to them!" she commanded, and then under Zheng Xiang's continuous embrace, she followed him upstairs with half push and half on the spot.
After Zheng Xiang left, these southern border guards also changed their previous serious appearance, and one by one they directly found a few empty tables to sit down, and then unceremoniously asked for the good wine and food in the post station one by one. The guys knew that these southern border guards were some officials who could not be provoked, so they did not dare to slack off in the slightest. And the lobby gradually returned to its previous liveliness, and after a while, the noisy and noisy sound of kung fu sounded again.
"Ninth Master, let's just put up with this breath......"
"Bang!"
Without waiting for the guard beside him to provoke trouble, the Ninth Master suddenly stretched out his hand and slapped the table angrily, then got up and walked upstairs, scolding and scolding with his mouth: "Hmph! Don't eat, Lao Tzu is really unhappy when he sees some people pretending to bring a few stinky money! And after the ninth master's subordinates glanced at each other, they hurriedly cleaned up the wine and food on the table and followed together.
Looking at the Nine Masters who were gone, a burst of sighs broke out in the lobby again. Yulou and Lan Chen sat back at the table, pushing cups and eating and drinking, as if they didn't take the matter of the Ninth Master to heart at all.
"Hehe, there is a saying that when you go out, you don't show your wealth, just now you showed your generosity, beware of being remembered by thieves!"
There was a small table in the dark corner next to Lu Yifan's desk, and there was still a person sitting there, because the light in that corner was so dim that Lu Yifan didn't notice that there were still people there before. It looked like it should be an ordinary old man, with white hair and a thin body, trembling with chopsticks and adding vegetables to his mouth.
"Why did the old man say this?" Lu Yifan asked with interest.
"A person who is willing to spend 90,000 silver shells to live in a post station for a night, how can he be an ordinary businessman?" The old man seemed to have a little leaky mouth, and stuffed a chopstick meat dish into his mouth, but half of it fell down his chin, and it looked like the mouth was not his own, which was very awkward.
"I don't know what the old man is referring to when he talks about thieves?" Lu Yifan frowned slightly and asked, "Could it be that this Golden Gate Post Station is still a black shop?"
"Hehe, I can't say this, I can't say it......" The old man said, he actually got up and walked upstairs with a wine jar, as if he was full of wine and food.
"This man ......"
"Childe, we may have a chance to meet this person!" Without waiting for Lu Yifan to open his mouth, Yulou took the first step and chuckled, "And it won't be too long!"
"Why?"
"It's just a feeling, I'm not sure yet, maybe Childe will understand when we meet again
Yulou pretended to smile mysteriously, and then put a glass of wine into his stomach and no longer entangled too much with Lu Yifan on this issue.
At the same time, in the inner room on the third floor of the inn, Banbiantian was sitting on Zheng Xiang's lap, holding a glass of wine in his hand and handing it to Zheng Xiang's mouth.
"What's the matter, is there anything suspicious among the people who have come and gone at the post station recently?" Zheng Xiang seemed to be very satisfied with this treatment, drank the wine in the cup in one sip, and then reached out and put it on the jade back of Banbiantian, and the five dishonest fingers gently stroked it through the tulle.
"Who is suspicious? Who is not suspicious?" Banbiantian asked with a smile, "What do you want to find out from me?"
"I just want to ask......"
"Bang, bang!"
Without waiting for Zheng Xiang to finish speaking, the door was suddenly knocked on, and at the moment when the door was knocked, Banbiantian gently pushed Zheng Xiang's chest with both arms, and then the whole person rose into the air, and the delicate body churned directly from the table, and finally landed in front of the door, stretched out his hand to open the door, and the person standing outside the door at this moment turned out to be the ninth master who had just been downstairs.
"Old Jiu?" Half the Sky couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he saw this person, and then before she could ask again, Jiu Ye opened his mouth first and said, "I'm looking for Master Zheng!"
"Let's talk! I'll go out to greet the guests first!" Banbiantian didn't ask more, just turned around and showed an extremely charming smile at Zheng Xiang, and then walked out with a soft and boneless body, and then closed the door from the outside with great interest.
Until half of the sky left, Zheng Xiang's face was always filled with an unfinished unending look, and it was not until the ninth master walked up to him and stretched out his hand to shake it a few times that Zheng Xiang suddenly came to his senses.
"Shake a fart, Lao Tzu can see it!" Zheng Xiang scolded angrily, "If you don't come sooner or later, you just come at the most critical time!"
"Hehe, why don't I go out first and let that girl in?"
", all the interest is gone!" Zheng Xiang scolded, and then turned his words and asked Xiang Jiu Ye with a solemn expression, "Old Jiu, how is the matter that you investigated?"
"I'm here to tell you about this!" the Ninth Master said mysteriously, deliberately lowering his voice a few points as he spoke, "I have checked all the guests in the post station in the past two days, and there is no trace of the Qi Family Chamber of Commerce and the people of the Soul Sect. ”
"Haven't they arrived yet?" Zheng Xiang speculated while rubbing his chin, "It shouldn't be! It is rumored that they are escorting the treasures to the Five Domains Spirit Banquet, this is a place that must be passed, and the time should be almost the same, how can there be no news......" Zheng Xiang's brows furrowed when he said this, and then he saw the glint in his eyes and asked loudly, "Have you checked the caravan carrying tea and spices below just now?"
"Not yet, they just arrived at noon!" the Ninth Master replied truthfully, "I was planning to investigate tonight!"
"Be very careful, those people are not simple, don't be discovered by them!" Zheng Xiang said in a low voice while pondering, "Especially the one named Lu Tian, even I can't see his depth! Even if they are not the ones who escort the treasures, they must have a lot of valuable things on them, if you can take the sheep by the hand......"
"Don't worry, the little ones know what to do tonight......!
After that, Zheng Xiang and Jiu Ye glanced at each other, and then a greedy smile appeared at the corner of their mouths at the same time.
