Volume 1 Chapter 10 Finding the Clues
After the five of Zhang Shaoqing ate the wine and food, they went down from the second floor to the counter and asked the restaurant shopkeeper for clues.
Zhang Shaoqing asked: "Shopkeeper, I heard that in your restaurant, was there a person who came at noon yesterday, and he was dressed very strangely." ”
The shopkeeper of the restaurant said lightly: "A few guest officers, your question is a bit difficult!" There are so many people in our restaurant every day, and there are all kinds of people, and I can't remember them all. ”
Zhang Shaoqing said: "Shopkeeper, say it!" How can you tell us. ”
The shopkeeper of the restaurant smiled and said, "Guest officer! It's not that I mean to embarrass you, I want to know and inquire about some things, and I must pay a little benefit, you say yes! ”
As soon as the shopkeeper finished speaking, he saw one hand stretched out, and then looked at Zhang Shaoqing and the five with a smile.
Zhang Shaoqing said: "I know, these are trivial things, and what silver can solve is not a problem." ”
Then he took out a tael of silver from his body and put it in the hand of the treasurer.
"Shopkeeper, you can talk about it now."
The shopkeeper of the restaurant smiled: "Yes, there was indeed a strange man here at noon yesterday, he was dressed tightly, and only a small half of his face could be seen." ”
Zhang Shaoqing continued to ask: "The shopkeeper, is there anything else, such as what is in his hand!" ”
The shopkeeper of the restaurant said: "Well, if you don't say it, I really can't remember, that person seems to be holding a sword in his hand, when he came to pay for me, it seemed that there was a cold air rushing to his face, I thought at the time, no wonder, it turned out that he was dressed so thickly for a reason, as for where he went later, I don't know." ”
Zhang Shaoqing thanked: "Thank you shopkeeper, we just know this." ”
After thanking the shopkeeper of the restaurant, they left the place.
The five of them found clues, and they also had the direction to find the person who stole the sword, as long as he was still in this sword capital, they could naturally find him and recapture the frost sword.
Since Zhang Shaoqing and the five of them have clues, they will definitely go back to the Swordsman Inn to share them with the other five.
When the time comes to find the man who stole the sword, everyone will naturally have a better grasp.
The five of them didn't delay any longer, and rushed directly to the direction of the Swordsman Inn.
Soon, Zhang Shaoqing's five-person team came to the door of the Swordsman Inn, and as soon as they walked into the inn, they saw Ye Ling and their team eating to replenish their strength.
And some people's faces are not good-looking, it may be that they have not found clues for a day, or they are caused by other reasons.
When the female shopkeeper of the Swordsman Inn saw them coming back, she stepped forward with a smile and asked, "Five guest officers, you sit down for a while, the meal will arrive soon, please wait a moment." ”
Zhang Shaoqing said: "Shopkeeper, you don't have to prepare, we have already eaten." ”
As soon as the words fell, Ye Ling's voice came from the side.
"After eating, I saw that some people came to play, and they said that they would help me forge the Sword Villa, and it was really better to say than to sing."
After hearing these words, Ouyang Rong couldn't help it.
After all, if you say such ugly words, it will be uncomfortable for anyone to listen to them.
Ouyang Rong said: "Ye Ling, you tell me clearly, what do you mean by these words, are we here to play?" ”
Yi Mingyi also followed: "That's right, you people from Sword Forging Villa actually said that we were here to play, don't you explain it to us?" ”
Linghu Liu'er said: "Ye Ling, look at it, what does your sister mean when she speaks?" ”
Ye Ling said helplessly: "Linghu girl, my sister is a person, she..." ”
As soon as Ye Ling said this, he was interrupted by his sister, Ye Ling continued: "What do you mean! The people of your famous Sword Villa and the people of Tibetan Sword Villa go out to play, are you still embarrassed to let others say it? ”
After seeing this, Zhang Shaoqing said unhappily: "Miss Ye Ling, please calm down, can you speak well?" ”
Ouyang Rong hurriedly spoke first: "Brother Shaoqing, Linghu girl, let's go, let's go back to the room to rest by ourselves, regardless of them, kindly helped them find clues, since we said that we are here to play, I won't tell them if there are clues, hum!" ”
"What! Found a clue? ”
Suddenly, a shout came out of Ye Ling's mouth.
She wanted to go up and ask herself, but she said it so ugly just now, and now she was embarrassed to go up and ask people.
So, Ye Ling turned to look at her younger brother Ye Ling, wanting her younger brother to ask.
When Ye Ling heard the word clue, he naturally wanted to ask for a clue when he stood up, but he didn't know how to speak.
Because what her sister said just now was a bit excessive, and now her sister looked directly at herself.
Seeing what she meant, she wanted to ask herself, Ye Ling could only stand and smile awkwardly.
There was silence in the air of the inn, and no one was willing to speak first in this embarrassing environment.
Minutes and seconds passed.
It is very uncomfortable for people to wait in an environment, especially in this embarrassing environment, which is even more difficult.
Seeing this situation, only someone can speak first to break the awkward atmosphere.
Zhang Shaoqing took the initiative to speak, and said seriously: "Miss Ye Ling, you said the wrong thing yourself, don't you even understand the truth of admitting your mistake?" Do we need to admit our mistakes? ”
Ye Ling saw Zhang Shaoqing speak first, he was giving his sister a step.
But what about my sister, she didn't say a word, just stood here and looked at herself silently.
Ye Ling smiled bitterly and hurriedly apologized: "Brother Zhang, how can it be, I still know the basic etiquette of Sword Casting Villa, turned to my sister and said: You don't go over to Brother Zhang, admit your mistake and apologize, this is Brother Zhang giving you the stairs." ”
Ye Ling woke up at the point of her younger brother and suddenly realized.
Then, Ye Ling said to Zhang Shaoqing and the others: "Brother Zhang, Miss Ouyang, Miss Linghu, Brother Yi, Brother Li, Ye Ling is here to say sorry to you, it's all the little sister who said the wrong thing for a while, the five of you will forgive the little sister and me!" ”
Zhang Shaoqing and the five of them said politely: "Miss Ye Ling, there is no need to be like this, everyone will have the time to say the wrong thing." ”
Ye Ling said with a smile: "This is the same martial arts fellow, if you know your mistakes, you can correct them, and just talk about the misunderstanding, so that everyone can deal with the bad guys together." ”
Ye Ling also said: "Yes, yes, it should be so, everyone must understand each other, Brother Zhang, can you talk about the clues you found now?" ”
Zhang Shaoqing said: "Everyone, there are a lot of people here, let's go to the room and talk." ”
Everyone replied: "Yes, Brother Zhang is thoughtful, then let's go back to the room first, and then talk about this clue." ”
Such a decision, everyone agreed, Ye Ling and the others didn't even eat, and went directly to Zhang Shaoqing's room to listen to Zhang Shaoqing talk about the clues.
There were people sitting and standing in the room, and Ye Ling and they listened carefully.
Zhang Shaoqing glanced at a few people and said: "Here's the thing, after we went out this morning, the five of us have been looking for most of the day, and we are all hungry, and then a few of us happened to see a restaurant next to it, so the five of us decided to fill our stomachs." ”
Zhang Shaoqing continued: "There are a lot of people eating and drinking in the restaurant, we may have clues when we go there, and sure enough, when we were eating, there was a table of people next to me who said that I saw a strangely dressed person there, and then we went to the restaurant shopkeeper to ask, the restaurant shopkeeper also said that he had seen this person, and he was still holding a sword in his hand, when he was very close to this person, he could feel that there was a cold air coming out of his body, you said that there was cold air coming out of his body, this is not a frost sword or what kind of sword." ”
When Ye Ling and Ye Ling heard this, they said excitedly together: "Yes, this is the Frost Sword, Brother Zhang!" So can this person ask where he lives? ”
Zhang Shaoqing replied: "I don't know where this person lives for the time being, but we will definitely find him out according to this clue." ”
Ye Ling was a little disappointed and said, "But Brother Zhang, the Sword Capital City is so big, it's still difficult to find someone." ”
Zhang Shaoqing comforted: "Brother Ye, you don't have to be sad, as long as this person is still in the Sword Capital City, we must have a way to find him." ”
Hearing Zhang Shaoqing say this, Ye Ling's eyes showed a look of expectation, and said: "Listen to what Brother Zhang means, do you have any way, if you have anything, just say it!" Don't sell a few of us. ”
Zhang Shaoqing said: "Brother Ye, don't you have some disciples in Sword Casting Villa, you send some disciples to the various exits of Sword Capital City, and let the disciples find a corner to guard, as long as that strange person leaves the city, let the disciples send a signal to notify us, so that we can naturally know that this person wants to go out of the city." ”
Ye Ling said excitedly: "Brother Zhang, Gao, Gao! What about all of us? ”
Zhang Shaoqing said: "Of course, we still have to continue to look in the city, and we can't rely on the disciples to notify us, and if we look in the city, it will be more convenient when the disciples notify us, and we can soon rush to the location notified by the disciples." ”
Ye Ling said: "Yes, Brother Zhang is fortunate to have you this time, otherwise if I forge the Sword Villa, I don't know when I will find it." ”
After finishing speaking, Ye Ling solemnly pulled his sister, stood up together and said respectfully to Zhang Shaoqing: "Thank you, Brother Zhang, I will never forget this matter in Sword Forging Villa." ”
Zhang Shaoqing also stood up and said, "Brother Ye, you don't have to be like this, we are all people in the rivers and lakes, and we are both from the four major mountain villas, everyone should help each other." ”
Everyone knows the clues, and they all know what they are going to do tomorrow.
So, everyone got up and said goodbye and got ready for tomorrow.
Rest well, recharge your batteries, and wait for tomorrow's progress.
