Chapter Eighty-Seven: An Uninvited Guest
After listening, Xuanyuanhuan's body trembled, and he glared at him and said, "Big brother, I ......"
"Weishenme?" Xuanyuan asked succinctly.
"I just don't want to owe him a favor. ”
"That's all?"
"Yes!"
Xuanyuan Huan shook his head with a wry smile and sighed: "Huan'er, now that my Xuanyuan family is in power, in the imperial court, how many pairs of eyes are staring at us, waiting for us to make mistakes! Next time, I don't want the same thing to happen again." ”
Xuanyuan Huan nodded, a trace of perseverance flowed in his eyes, and said, "Don't worry, big brother, there will be no next time!"
Three days later, early in the morning.
As soon as the sky was bright, Lin Haotian got up with his clothes, had a simple breakfast, packed his bags, and embarked on the road to Wancheng.
Accompanying him were Ding Feng and Bi Wu.
Lin Haotian walked very secretively, and there were only a few people who knew his whereabouts. At first, Chu Lianyu, Bi Wen and others also offered to move forward with him, Chu Lianyu and several people are also literati, so they naturally have no eloquence to say, with them, they can indeed play a lot of roles.
But Lin Haotian thought about it again and again, feeling that it was a long way to go, if he brought too many people, one would delay his own speed, and the other was that they also needed to preside over the overall situation in Shuangfeng City, and in the end, Lin Haotian still chose Ding Feng and Bi Wu.
Wancheng is located in the center of the Jin Kingdom, while Shuangfeng City is located in the southernmost part of the empire, and between the two cities, there is also a Wuling County.
Wuling County is the richest county in the whole Jin country, since the founding of the Jin State, Wuling County has paid the first tax in the nine counties every year, and it is a veritable land of fertile water.
After two days and two nights of rapid travel, Lin Haotian, Ding Feng, and Bi Wu finally walked out of Fengkou County and arrived at the boundary of Wuling County.
As soon as they entered Wuling County, several people immediately felt the huge difference between the two places.
Fengkou County has been fighting for many years, so the population is relatively thin, and the fields are barren, while Wuling County is the opposite, here, even giving Lin Haotian an illusion of being in a dream: noisy villages, bustling towns, pedestrians coming and going on the streets, what a peaceful and prosperous scene!
On that day, the three of them walked in a small town in Wuling County, looking at the large and small shops around, Lin Haotian couldn't help but say with envy: "What a prosperous place!"
After hearing this, Ding Feng couldn't help but smile and said: "My lord, where is this going! This is just a small town on the border of Wuling County, and the further you go, the more you can feel the prosperity of Wuling County." ”
Lin Haotian's face was a little surprised, and he said, "In this way, what we have seen is only the tip of the iceberg?"
"So what?" Bi Wu pursed his lips and said, "If we hadn't fought the border, this place would have been plundered by the enemy army a long time ago." ”
"Hehe!" Lin Haotian smiled and said nothing.
Before you know it, it's getting dark.
Lin Haotian patted his empty stomach, turned his head to Ding Feng and Bi Wu and said, "Let's find a place to rest first, sleep well tonight, and then hurry tomorrow morning." ”
"Yes!" It was rare to be able to rest for one night, Ding Feng and Bi Wu both seemed very happy, as if they were afraid that Lin Haotian would regret it, so they nodded hurriedly in response.
The three of them walked forward a short distance, Zuihou stopped in front of a restaurant, the restaurant is not big, but there are many customers inside, it can be seen that there must be something special in the restaurant.
Lin Haotian nodded secretly, and said to Ding Feng and Bi Wu: "That's it!"
"Haode!" Ding Feng replied, tied the stiff ropes on several horses to the horse stakes outside the restaurant, and then the three of them swaggered into the restaurant.
As soon as they entered, a guy from the store immediately stepped forward and said with a smile: "Yo!
Under the guidance of the shopkeeper, several people found a place near the window and sat down, Lin Haotian glanced at the shopkeeper and asked, "Little second brother, what are the specialties in your store?"
Hearing this, the shopkeeper tilted his head and replied with a smile: "Don't hide it from the guest officer, although the store is not big, the dishes are absolutely first-class, no matter what the dish, as long as the guest officer can be named, the store will definitely deliver it to you." ”
"Heh! The tone is not small!" Lin Haotian said with a smile: "Then serve a few special dishes in your store, let us taste what are the special features." ”
"Okay! The guest officer will be delivered in a moment. The shopkeeper simply answered and turned to leave.
Then, Lin Haotian turned his head to Bi Wu and asked, "Bi Wu, how long will it take for us to reach Wancheng?"
"About four days!"
"So long?"
"My lord, our speed is fast enough, under normal circumstances, it would take half a month to get from Twin Peaks City to Wuling County, but we only used two days and two nights, which is already the limit. ”
Lin Haotian nodded and stopped talking.
After a short time, the shopkeeper brought the wine and food to the table, and Lin Haotian took the opportunity to ask, "Little second brother, do you have any spare rooms in your store?"
The shopkeeper raised his head, glanced at Lin Haotian with a puzzled face, and said with a smile: "Of course there is! It seems that the guest officers are not locals, right?"
"That's right! We're just passing by. ”
"No wonder!" The shopkeeper showed a suddenly realized expression, and said in a low voice: "Recently, there has been a Jiangyang thief in this town, who singled out passers-by, and as a result, the town was panicked, and there were fewer and fewer people living in the store. ”
"Is there such a thing?" Lin Haotian looked at the shopkeeper in surprise.
Not only him, but Ding Feng and Bi Wu glanced at each other, and they all pricked up their ears.
They were interested in listening, and the shopkeeper naturally did not hesitate to speak, and said: "This Jiangyang thief is not an ordinary person, it is said that he is still a martial artist, and his martial arts cultivation is very good, and the government has sent people to arrest him many times but has no gain." ”
Lin Haotian smiled and asked, "Since the other party has such skills, why is he only a thief?"
The shopkeeper shook his head: "This villain is not clear, but this Jiangyang thief is also principled when stealing, but any pedestrian patronized by him will only steal half of the other party's property." ”
"And such weirdos?" Ding Feng couldn't help but exclaim.
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Who knows! Several guest officers should be more careful at night, and the store will not be responsible for any accidents." ”
"Haha..."Lin Haotian and the others were amused, and daxiao said: "Don't worry, it's good that Jiangyang thief doesn't come, if we meet him, he will definitely have no return." ”
As he spoke, Lin Haotian took out a silver tael from his arms, didn't look at it, handed it to the shopkeeper casually, and said, "Prepare three rooms for us, and then lead our horses into the backyard to raise some high-quality forage." ”
Lin Haotian took out the silver ingot, and the cost of accommodation was only about one tael, the shopkeeper subconsciously weighed the silver in his hand, and his mouth was immediately happy, and he answered, and ran away with the wind under his feet.
After several days of hurrying, Lin Haotian and several people were already tired enough, and the three of them quickly finished eating, and after a simple bath, they returned to their respective rooms, covered with quilts, and fell asleep.
I don't know how long I slept, Lin Haotian was suddenly awakened by a short and slight sound of breaking wind.
The long-term military life has already made Lin Haotian develop an amazing ability to perceive, and any wind and grass cannot hide from his ears.
Hearing that the person was above his eaves, Lin Haotian remained silent, squinted his eyes slightly, and pretended to be asleep.
At this time, I saw a nimble man in black first uncover a piece of rubble on the eaves, hook his head, and look carefully into the house, but did not find anything unusual, and then flashed to the door like a ghost, and then slipped into the house.
After entering the house, the man in black walked quickly to the bed, glanced at Lin Haotian on the bed with his eyes, confirmed that he was asleep, put his mind at ease, no longer hesitated, and immediately rummaged through the cabinets and groped.
Seeing this, Lin Haotian secretly sneered in his heart, his eyes rolled, he did not directly scare the person away, but patiently watched the other party's series of actions.
Sure enough, after rummaging through Lin Haotian's baggage, the man in black took out a part of the silver taels from the money bag and threw it on the table, then smiled, turned his body suddenly, and walked out of the house ghostly.
As soon as he walked on his front feet, Lin Haotian jumped up from the bed, put on his shoes, opened the window and flashed out of the room, and quickly chased in the direction where the person disappeared with several wind movements.
