Chapter 333: Change
That's not right!
Night duty is not only a habit, but also a rule.
Habits can be changed, but rules cannot be easily broken.
At first, it was an escort team, an iron rule to prevent exiles from escaping at night.
After nightfall, no matter what the environment, it is necessary to keep someone on duty at all times.
Later, everyone got used to this kind of rule, and at night there was no need to organize again, and whoever had their turn would take the initiative to take on the responsibility of night duty.
This rule has been maintained from the first night of the procession's departure until tonight, and no one has ever broken it.
Especially in a deserted place like this, where there is no place in front of the village and no point behind it, there is no need for Xiao Qin and others to deliberately remind them, the people on duty at night will be extra cautious, how can they be lazy?
It is said that at this time, there should be at least two night guards, one guarding near the gate of the post station, and the other patrolling back and forth in the small courtyard.
There was no one in the small courtyard, and when Xiao Qin was about to push the door out to check the situation, he found that no matter how he pulled the door, it just couldn't be opened, as if he was killed by something from the outside.
Xiao Qin suddenly felt bad, the brothers who were on duty outside at night would definitely not lock the door for no reason.
Xiao Qin shouted a few times, but no one responded.
At this moment, Xiao Qin heard footsteps behind him, his heart sank, he copied a wooden stick in his hand, turned around and shouted vigilantly: "Who!" ”
It was too dark, and the man seemed to be carrying a kerosene lamp bottle in his hand, and the light was very dim, so that he could only vaguely see the outline of the man's figure, but he couldn't see his face clearly.
Xiao Qin shouted nervously: "Who! Hold it! ”
The man replied softly: "My lord, it's me, old Feng Tou......"
Hearing Old Feng's voice, Xiao Qin breathed a sigh of relief, a little overly nervous.
Lao Feng slowly came over with a kerosene lamp, and whispered: "Don't blame adults, the old man is old and sleepy, and when he hears someone shouting, he comes out to see, ...... are you?"
Xiao Qin pointed to the door: "Is there something wrong with your door, why can't it be opened?" ”
"No problem." Old Feng Tou came up suspiciously, stretched out his hand and pulled it without pulling: "It's strange......"
I pulled a few more handfuls, but I still didn't move.
"No, this door was only newly replaced in the first half of the year, it shouldn't be stuck by something, my lord, you are young and strong, come and take a hand, let's push it together."
Xiao Qin was about to be in front, and Lao Feng followed behind.
After pushing a few handfuls of Xiao Qin, he noticed that the old Feng head behind him seemed to be moving, and when he wanted to turn his head strangely to ask, suddenly the back of his neck was cold, and something sharp was against his neck.
"Don't be joking, it's scary in the middle of the night."
When Xiao Qin said this, he had already thought of a lot in his heart, and he thought a lot in his mind in an instant.
"My lord, the old man doesn't want to embarrass you, as long as you are honest and obedient, the old man will definitely not hurt you."
"Who the hell are you!"
"It doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is that adults should not forget who they are."
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Qin's heart sank, and it was obvious that the other party knew his details.
"I advise you not to mess around...... Take back the knife at this time, I should not do it, otherwise I just shout loudly, and you will die without a place to be buried. ”
"As for how I die, I don't bother Lord Xiao, you still care about yourself."
Xiao Qin clearly felt a tingling sensation coming from the back of his neck.
Old Feng Tou was right, let alone shouting, he didn't even dare to move at this moment.
If you guessed correctly, the old Feng Tou of this matter was holding a knife or dagger or something in his hand, against his neck.
"Okay, count me blind, mistake you for a good person, and plant this hellish place, if you come at me, before you do it, let me die and understand."
"I only have one question, who sent you to kill me?"
Lao Feng replied: "I'm sorry Lord Xiao, you can ask anything, but I can't answer you this question." ”
"Besides, as long as you are obedient, you will not die."
Xiao Qin was very confused when he heard this, the other party tried his best to put on such a wonderful scene, deceived everyone, and then put the knife against his neck, but told him that it was not to get rid of him.
It's strange what that's for.
"Good ......" Xiao Qin said in a deep voice: "I won't shout and scream, what do you need me to do......"
"You don't need to do anything, just stay and don't move."
"What do you mean?"
"You have too many questions." Old Feng Tou was obviously impatient.
Strange, so weird.
Xiao Qin didn't dare to speak casually anymore, for fear that he would really anger the other party.
He had doubted the identity of Lao Feng Tou and his wife before, and asked Huang Kang privately for this reason.
However, Huang Kang told him that they were ordinary ordinary people, not people who practiced martial arts.
Hearing such an answer, Xiao Qin subconsciously relaxed his vigilance against the two of them, an ordinary couple, so old, even if they had any bad intentions, it was impossible to threaten them, the forty or fifty people.
And later, after listening to Lao Feng's sad statement, Xiao Qin, like everyone else, inevitably felt compassion for this poor pair.
I also thought that when the day dawned, before the large army left here, I would quietly leave them some more silver.
Give it directly to your face, and this generous old couple will definitely not be able to accept it.
But who would have thought that knowing people and faces but not knowing their hearts, this old Feng Tou was acting from beginning to end.
He used his weak appearance and a set of very touching stories to successfully deceive everyone's trust, including Xiao Qin, who was actually a scheming and deeply hidden villain.
He knew Xiao Qin's identity, which meant that this person was not a robber who robbed homes and houses, but had been waiting for them here for a long time with a mission and purpose.
It's just that what makes Xiao Qin even more confused is why he said that he didn't think about doing it to himself.
went to great lengths to set up such a perfect trap and deceive everyone's trust, what is the purpose?
Money?
No, it shouldn't be, the post station is just the old Feng Tou and his wife, even if he pulls out with a carriage full of silver, he will definitely not be able to run far.
With Huang Kang's skills, he can catch them back in minutes.
Since it's not for money, isn't it for women?
Evian or Yao Tao?
