054. News from the Station
After dinner, Long Xing went out of the yard, specially checked his horses, and after making sure that they were all right, he returned to his room and locked the door from the inside. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
He lay on the bed and rested for a while, although he was extremely tired, but he couldn't sleep immediately because of the uneasiness in his heart, he summoned the butterfly black spirit, and said: "Black spirit, do you think I'm quite stupid? The noodle stall owner bullied me, the people of the black boat bullied me, and when I first arrived in the country of arrogance, I was bullied by the person called Huo Xiujun, and I was bullied by the white-haired devil!"
The more he talked, the more sad he became, and when he heard him be so arrogant, the black spirit was very distressed, so he was relieved: "The master can't say that! Those people who bully you are all bad people! The master is kind-hearted, and he is a foreign person, and he has special abilities, and he has won the true inheritance of the master!"
When Long Xing heard this, he turned his sorrow into joy with a puff, and said with a smile: "I still have the true inheritance of my master! Hehe, thank you, Hei Ling, I know that you are comforting me! Don't worry, I just complain! I will definitely try my best to live, and I must find a way to return to the world and go back to my parents!"
As he spoke, he began to stumble, his upper and lower eyelids fought, yawning one after another, and the black spirit said considerately: "Master, you can sleep in peace! We have to hurry when the morning comes! I will go out to control the wind, and I will call you if there is something!"
Long Xing was relieved to fall asleep, he was too tired to travel during the day, he slept very deeply, and he didn't have a dream.
The black spirit flew around quietly in the courtyard, listening to this room, looking at that room, after all, it was just a butterfly, and it didn't have a deep understanding of human affairs, but it wrote down everything it saw and heard, and planned to tell Long Xing one by one.
When he came back and saw that his master was sleeping soundly, he docked at the head of the bed and did not disturb him.
I don't know how many hours passed, and there was a rustling sound from the ceiling of the roof, breaking the silence around them, and then, a figure flashed down from the ceiling beams and sat at the table in the room of the dragon star.
The black spirit was frightened and shouted sharply, "Wake up, master!"
Long Xing heard the shout of the black spirit, turned over and sat up, and when he saw the person sitting a meter away, his heart was pounding, and he shouted loudly when he forced his composure: "What person!"
A strange voice laughed: "Little fat man, what's the matter, don't you know an old friend?"
As he spoke, he stretched his face forward, revealing a strange face, through the window to the glimmer in front of the bed, Long Xing could see clearly, but he was also frightened, only to see that the upper half of the face was normal, a pair of eyes were exposed, but the lower half was miserable, no beard, his mouth was long crooked to the side, the corners of his mouth were about to connect to his ears, his thick lips couldn't cover his uneven teeth, he should be laughing when he heard the voice, but it looked like he was crying.
Long Xing exclaimed in his heart, how ugly it is! There can be such an ugly person in this world!
Old friend? Long Xing was puzzled in his heart, he searched carefully in his mind, he had never seen such an extremely ugly person! The man leaned over and looked forward, only to see that he was wearing a black robe, which was a little familiar.
The black spirit suddenly shouted, "You fire-breathing dog thief!
As she spoke, the little butterfly gathered her anger and spewed a small ball of fire towards the ugly monster in front of her.
The ugly man in the black robe couldn't understand the language of the butterfly, but he heard the anger from its cry, so he prepared in advance, and when the black spirit breathed fire at him, he turned his head and easily dodged it, just like the previous encounter, he sneered: "Hey, little butterfly! I know you're going to spray a little fire! Didn't I teach you a lesson last time? Dare to get an axe in front of me! Believe it or not, I put out you with a fire!"
The black spirit was about to re-accumulate energy and spew out a larger ball of fire, Long Xing had already reacted, knowing that this black-robed man was the thief who stole his gold last time, the ancient mother-in-law said that he was the fire Xiujun of the Flame Country, recalling the huge ball of fire he spewed out at that time, the little black spirit in his heart was indeed not the opponent of others, worried that the black spirit would suffer, so he opened his mouth to stop him: "Black spirit, wait! I'll tell him!"
The black-robed man smiled and said in a strange voice: "Yo!
"You ugly bastard! What do you want to do when you break into someone's room in the middle of the night! Give me back the money you stole from me last time!" Long Xing said with a grudge.
The black-robed man shrank back, calmly sat back in his chair, and said with a smile: "Stealing your money? If you don't have evidence, you're just talking about it and framing you! Breaking into someone else's room? It will be even more vexatious! The whole post station here is mine! I can go to whichever room I want!"
Long Xing and the black spirit were both angry enough, but they couldn't answer for a while, seeing their momentary speechlessness and anxious faces, the black-robed man continued triumphantly: "And say that I am ugly! Hmph! Don't you see that I am handsome and extraordinary? It is your honor that I can find you!
Long Xing heard him say so many strange things, the tension in his heart slowly subsided, looking at his face, he suddenly felt very funny, his heart said, his eyebrows are clear and beautiful, if you just look at his eyes and eyebrows, he is really a little handsome, but when he sees the crooked mouth and the mouth full of uneven strange teeth, he feels funny and disgusting in his heart.
After taking a sip, Long Xing showed a disdainful look and said, "What are you going to do?"
The black-robed man said unhurriedly: "You already know that I am Huo Xiujun, right? The old woman who saved you that day must have told you! That's right! I am the famous Huo Xiujun of the Arrogant Country, the name of the first thief is known to the whole country, and more importantly, I am responsible for the management of all the post stations in the country!"
"So what?" Long Xing looked at the black spirit, and saw that it did not answer, knowing that the black spirit did not know the origin of the other party.
"I manage all the post stations, so naturally there will be news from all directions! You know, news is worth a little money! I see that you have some gold with you, aren't you sent by the big subject country? That's why I want to give you a chance to see if you are interested! Do you want military intelligence about the big subject country and the arrogant country?"
When Huo Xiujun spoke, he opened the palm of his left hand, held it in front of his eyes, and admired his five fingers one by one, as if there was some painting engraved on his fingers, looking careless.
Long Xing heard that it was the military situation between the two countries, and guessed that if the information was accurate, it might be possible to help Qing Ming, so he tentatively asked: "Then why are you willing to say it?"
"I'm not greedy, all the gold on your body, in exchange for this piece of information from me, you keep your own arrogance coins and enjoy them!" Huo Xiujun had a greedy look in his eyes, full of confidence.
When Long Xing heard this, he was taken aback, and said, "It's too dark, isn't it? All my gold! You have already robbed it once, and this time, you are asking for such a sky-high price, isn't this an obvious robbery of money? Besides, who knows if your information is accurate!"
Huo Xiujun put away his weird smile and said with a straight face: "The information is not accurate? Then you are doubting the foundation of my life! The entire country of arrogance, but anyone who has a bit of a doorway, who doesn't know that what I do is an intelligence business, if this is not accurate, how can the business be done? The information is absolutely accurate! You can rest assured! As for gold, you can think it out yourself!"
Seeing that Long Xingzheng was listening attentively, he continued: "We are doing business openly, you have no gold, you have no news! If you don't do business with me, I will do another job you have seen, and when the time comes, not only will you have no gold, but you will also lose the little arrogance coins on your body, and you will not get any news!"
The more he talked, the more proud he became, obviously enjoying the pleasure of making fun of the little fat man: "You are lucky to meet me at the post station! You must know that the post station is mine, and I have always adhered to the principle, but whenever you enter the post station, you will talk about business first, and if the business fails, then do anything else! If you don't pay attention to principles, you will have already run out!"
Long Xing was stunned, the ugly monster said it well, his stealing skills are superb, if he doesn't do business with him, I'm afraid the gold on his body will not be able to keep it sooner or later.
Seeing his contemplative appearance, Huo Xiujun struck while the iron was hot and said: "How about it? When you think about it, take out the gold, and I will inform you of the information, and we will pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other!"
Long Xing pondered for a moment, so he had to reach into his pocket and take out the bag, pour all the gold on the table, put away the inflated coin, put it back on the placket, spread his hands, and said, "All my gold is here!
Huo Xiujun showed a strange smile on his face, counted the gold, and said with a smile: "I'm not afraid of no business here! There are too many people who want to take the initiative to catch up with me! Moreover, this is an official post station on the official road, so I don't have to worry about no business travel!"
Long Xing was afraid that he would not do anything if he collected money, so he urged: "Take care of your official affairs and private affairs, say it quickly!"
Huo Xiujun put the gold into his pocket with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Little fat man! Listen up! The garrisons of the Qi Flame Country on the side of the Qi Gorge are all in charge of the patriarch of the Deep Hydrogen Clan, and some time ago, didn't there be a lot of garrisons here? It is said that on the side of your big subject country, someone bribed the patriarch of the Deep Hydrogen Clan with a lot of money, and asked him to deliberately pretend to increase the number of troops stationed in the Qi Clan, creating a tense situation in the Qi Gorge!"
"Qi Gorge, do you mean Qi Gorge?" Long Xing speculated.
Huo Xiujun looked unimpressed, and said: "Qi belongs to the Gorge, belongs to the Qi Gorge, I don't care!
When Long Xing and Qing Ming broke up, he didn't know about the Qi Gorge defenders sending reinforcements, and he didn't know the ins and outs of King Qingzhe being transferred to the border guard because of this, but from Huo Xiujun's mysterious tone when he spoke, he guessed that the stakes were very high, and he knew that whenever it came to military affairs, it would definitely not be a trivial matter for the big subject country and Qing Ming.
So, he hurriedly asked: "Then, who do you know from the Great Subject Country, who paid to bribe the patriarch of the Deep Hydrogen Clan?"
Huo Xiujun said with a smile: "I only sell the accurate information that I am sure of! To be honest, I am still not sure who the big subject country is! Moreover, the gold you gave is only enough to buy the news I told you just now!"
Seeing that Long Xing was full of interest, Huo Xiujun immediately knew that it was profitable, and turned to temptation: "Do you want to know? Then go back to the Great Subject Country, prepare the gold, the quantity, compared to today, ten times!"
As he spoke, his hands were wide open, and his ten separated fingers dangled in front of Long Xing's eyes, triumphant.
Long Xing saw that his ten fingers were covered with nail polish, colorful and incomparably soft, and his chest suddenly felt a wave of nausea.
Snorting, Long Xing said, "So you don't know!
Huo Xiujun turned around and walked to the door and said, "Believe it or not!"
He stretched out one hand to pull the door, turned around with the other, and pointed at the black spirit, and a small ball of flame rushed towards the black spirit, drawing a ray of light in the air, the black spirit was startled by the sudden attack, and quickly flew away to dodge.
When the attention of the black spirit and its owner returned to the door, the black-robed man Huo Xiujun had disappeared without a trace, leaving only his laughter echoing treacherously in the corridor: "Little butterfly, brother will let you see again!"
