Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Three Caves of the Cunning Rabbit
Chu He was very satisfied with the effect of the show, "Okay, I can go with you to grab the ...... now." No...... Let's go to keep an eye on King Xiaoming, right? ”
Yan Chen scratched his head, "I admit that your witchcraft is indeed powerful, I still can't figure it out, but it doesn't seem to be of much use in battle, right?" ”
Chu He rolled his eyes, "I just performed a little witchcraft for you just now, and you will know the real ability then." ”
At this time, Jiang Wuxian stood up and said, "I agree that Brother Chu will go with us." ”
"Do you have a part in talking here?" Yan Chen squinted and glared at Jiang Wuyi.
This time, Jiang Wuxian did not flinch, "I have already seen Brother Chu's witchcraft, and I believe that he definitely has more magical skills and can help a lot at critical moments." ”
"But there is one thing I have to explain in advance, I still need Yuanshi, the more the better, otherwise I'm really not sure whether to help or drag on when the time comes."
After listening to Chu He's words, Jiang Wuxian nodded thoughtfully, "It turns out that Brother Chu's witchcraft needs Yuan Shi to support, this is easy to do, I'll figure it out." Our top priority now is to find out where King Xiao Ming now lives in the city. ”
Yan Chen asked, "Didn't you originally take the military strategy department?" Tell me, where can Zhou Yan be now? ”
Jiang Wuxian raised his eyebrows, thinking that this reckless man had been admitted to himself, smiled slightly, and said confidently: "King Xiao Ming has always been poor and luxurious, and when he arrives in the city, he will definitely not live in a military tent anymore, but will only live in the most luxurious place." ”
"Then what are the places in this canal county that meet his requirements? The county lord's mansion? It's possible, but we searched there as soon as the city was broken, and now it's a mess, and it definitely won't be there. ”
"Then apart from the county master's house, where else is there enough to be his temporary residence? Sister-in-law, you are a canal man, where can you remember? ”
Liang Yi saw Jiang Wuxian turn his head and ask himself, he was stunned for a moment, then pondered for a moment, and said: "In addition to the mansion of the county lord, our canal water belongs to the mansion of the rich lord Hao, and the courtyard of the four entrances is very magnificent. ”
Jiang Wuxian shook his head lightly, "In addition to the four thousand guards distributed throughout the city, King Xiao Ming's subordinates also have two hundred iron heart guards and ten sword guards, this is the strength of his most confidants, and it will not be too far away from him." Even if Hao's rich family is four into the house, it can't fit so many people. ”
Liang Yi bit his lower lip and pondered, "That's ...... By the way, we have three major gold caves in the canal, which are the assets of Linchang Feng's family. ”
Linchang, the capital of Jingqi Province.
Jiang Wuyi was puzzled: "This small border town has been in constant war for many years, why did the Feng family do this loss-making deal?" ”
"This is not something that we ordinary people can understand."
"Where are the three major gold caves?"
"One is the Qinglou, the Xiangfeng Building. One is the bathhouse, the spring pond hall. Then there is the largest gambling house in Qushui County, Golden Hook Fang. ”
"Can you live in any of these places?"
"Of course, and the environment is even better than the best restaurant inn we have here."
Jiang Wuyi's eyes rolled, and he said with bad intentions: "Oh, thanks to my sister-in-law's understanding of these places, otherwise we really don't have a direction." ”
Liang Yiqiao's face flushed, "This is something that everyone in the canal knows about, how can there be anything that you don't understand." ”
"Huh? What do you mean? Yan Chen walked over and kicked Jiang Wuji to the ground.
Jiang Wuyi covered his stomach for a long time, rubbed dirt on the ground, and secretly swore that he would never touch Yan Chen's moldy head again.
Chu He opened his mouth and said: "In my opinion, let's go out in a low-key manner, go through these three places one by one, if there is an iron heart guard haunted, King Xiao Ming should be there." ”
Jiang Wuxian clapped his hands and said: "What Brother Chu said is extremely true, without further ado, the two of you should go and investigate, go early and return early." ”
Yan Chen looked at Jiang Wuxian, who was still sitting on the ground and couldn't get up, and showed a cruel smile, "You're tight again, aren't you?" ”
"Oh, don't, don't, I'll go! I'll go too! ”
Chu He, Yan Chen, and Jiang Wuxian each changed into a set of robes left by Liang Yi's husband, pretended to be a study tour, and walked on the streets.
At this time, the city is not as noisy as it was a few days ago, there are some pedestrians on the streets, and most of the shops on the street have reopened, after all, people also have to eat and live normally.
But most of the pedestrians on the street were in a hurry, and they hurried home when they came out to finish their errands, for fear of causing some trouble.
Of course, most of the people in Qushui County still don't know that the current Sheng army in the city is the notorious Xiaoming King Guard, otherwise they won't risk going out if they don't eat everything they can eat at home.
According to the direction pointed by Liang Yi before, the three of them walked for about half an hour, during which they encountered two waves of Sheng army patrols, but they were not interrogated.
It may be that they are poor scholars, and they don't have much oil and water to squeeze at first glance.
According to Liang Yi's description before going out, they should be near the Golden Hook Workshop now, but they haven't found it yet, so Yan Chen stopped a middle-aged man who came out to buy vegetables and asked for directions.
When the man heard that they were going to the Golden Hook Workshop, he looked at them a few times in surprise, he must have wondered why these three people looked at Si Swenwen, why such a chaotic world still wanted to gamble.
But he showed the way anyway and hurried home.
Chu He and the others walked three more streets, and finally saw the shadow of the Golden Hook Fang.
The largest gambling house in Qushui County is said to have been wiped out overnight.
The whole building is two storeys high and covers a huge area, whether it is seen from a distance or up close, it is a splendid atmosphere.
In particular, the word "golden hook" on the large plaque at the main entrance is written with gold powder at a glance, and the dragon flies and the phoenix dances, and the atmosphere is magnificent.
Chu He had also seen the world in his previous life, but when he saw the gambling house in front of him, he couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong with this Linchang Feng family?" Is there so many gamblers in building such a big casino here? ”
"Look!"
Chu He and Jiang Wuxian followed Yan Chen's eyes and saw a terrace on the second floor, on which stood a row of heavily armed guards.
These guards were covered in armor, wearing iron helmets, spears in their hands, short knives at their waists, and even their faces were covered with a layer of armor, and from a distance, there was a solemn aura of murder.
Jiang Wuxian said in a low voice: "Iron Heart Guard." ”
Yan Chen suddenly became excited, "We are so lucky, the first place to hit the right place?" Then we can observe their deployment now. ”
Jiang Wuxian shook his head slightly, "I want to go to the other two places to see." ”
Yan Chen frowned, opened his mouth and was about to speak, but was stopped by Chu He.
"Brother Chen, listen to him first, and go to those two places to have a look."
Two hours later, three people sweating profusely sat at a street tea stall, and one of them asked for two large bowls of herbal tea.
Yan Chen drank a bowl in one bite, wiped the fine beads of sweat on his head, and said in a low voice: "Why are there iron heart guards in three places?" ”
At this time, Jiang Wuxian had already drunk all his two bowls, raised his hand and said, "Boss, two more bowls." ”
Then, he whispered three more words, "Blindfolding." ”
Chu He drank half a bowl and felt that the taste was too ordinary, so he put down the bowl, "This is called the three caves of the cunning rabbit." ”
Jiang Wuxian raised his eyebrows when he heard this new word that he had never heard before, "It's easy to describe, Brother Chu, I can't see through you more and more." ”
