And then it doesn't squeak.

Dong Rui understood, took out a packet of jerky from his arms and handed it to it.

These are all small pieces of meat that are half-dried and not wet, and the birds of prey are just right one by one.

He Lingchuan knew at a glance that this was the ration of the bat demon puppet.

The eagle owl couldn't help but take a piece in its mouth and taste it.

Well, unsalted, chewy, springy, not bad.

It was satisfied, and immediately said, "The note for the purchase of the lantern grass has been hanging on the notice board for too long, and it has been blown away by the wind." I remember the note saying that the seekers were staying at the Beard Inn! ”

He Lingchuan is not concerned about where the buyer lives, but about the fact that someone is asking to buy the lantern grass itself.

This means that the seeker knows that there will be a light grass nearby.

Except for the Xiaoyao Sect, who else can supply the Bright Lantern Grass?

"You don't happen to see what the seeker looks like, do you?"

"They all cover their faces, and they can't see." The eagle owl said lazily, "To be honest, even if people don't cover their faces, I can't tell you that this is the rule." ”

Dong Rui didn't give up: "Height, appearance, fat and thin, can't you talk about it?" ”

The eagle owl turned its head and ignored him.

If the rules are broken, how will it earn rations in the future?

The other youkai have to go outside to find food, and as long as they stand here, they will have food delivered to their door every day.

"So, what about those who want to buy Du Yunshi?"

"Well, it's still here." The eagle owl stretched out its wings and pointed down, "Not removed." ”

When the three of them looked at it, sure enough, there was a note posted in the upper left corner of the billboard, which read:

Acquired five Duyunshi, Liu Kezhuang sat in the living room, and two cups were upside down.

The first sentence is the demand for purchases.

The second and third sentences are the code of encounter.

The buyer asked the Du Yunshi seller to sit in the hall of Liukezhuang, and put the two wine glasses upside down on the table, and naturally someone came out to contact.

"No one took the note." Dong Rui asked He Lingchuan, "Do you want to go to Liukezhuang to try your luck?" ”

He Lingchuan was very simple: "No, it's useless to go." ”

"Huh? How do you know? ”

"You think Kimber, they haven't tried?" He Lingchuan turned to the eagle owl, "In addition to us, has anyone come to ask about these two news recently?" ”

"Yes, a few big guys came to me half a month ago and gave me a bag of raw beef."

As soon as He Lingchuan heard this, he knew that he was talking about the Shadow Tooth Guard. The size of Jin Bai and others is indeed standing out among the locals.

Jin Bai has also come to inquire about the news, and he will definitely go to Liukezhuang to try his luck.

He didn't mention it when he talked to He Lingchuan just now, which means that he was unlucky.

"It's not that he's unlucky, but—" He Lingchuan looked at the note, his eyes flashing slightly, "I see, this note is a bait." ”

"Bait? Who is it used for? The dementor mirror in his arms couldn't help but ask, "How can someone who doesn't have a bright light grass or Du Yunshi's intelligence care about these two notes?" ”

"Most people are indifferent and will not go to Liukezhuang to find buyers, and their tricks will not be exposed."

Dong Ruiqi said: "You mean, these people don't want to buy at all, they just want to convey a message to the outside world?" ”

"Isn't Kimber taking the bait? He saw that there were people here who wanted to buy Du Yunshi, and as long as he went back and asked the head of the Xiaoyao Sect, he could deduce that the thief's intention was to refine the heart lamp. ”

The others came to inspect the signs, and He Lingchuan and the three turned around and left the ghost market.

Walking on the dirt road, Dong Rui suddenly said: "Then as soon as Jin Bai hears that the madness of the second son of King Hun has improved, he will decide that the lantern was stolen by Hun Guo." ”

"It's just an inference." He Lingchuan said modestly, "It's just an inference." Who dares to say that the person who wants to buy Du Yunshi must not be the royal family? ”

The two were talking, and Ah Hao couldn't listen to it from ear to ear:

Crazy? Stealing? And the royal family!

What did he hear, old swan? What the hell are these two people doing?

It's really a good time to go out today!

He Lingchuan turned to him and smiled slightly: "It's just right, I have something to ask you." ”

In Ah Hao's eyes, this smile was like death was coming. He couldn't help but shudder: "You, I, I don't know anything, don't kill me!" ”

"Answer well, not only do you have your life, but you also have money." After speaking, He Lingchuan turned out a large silver ingot in his hand.

This is a large ingot of silver, and the reflected moonlight illuminates Ah Hao's eyes.

He figured it out at once: it could change for two months' worth of meat, a dozen new sets of clothes, and then go to Xiangxuefang on the east side of the street to serve comfortably for a few nights.

Or, stay as the principal and get more chewing tobacco to sell.

This beautiful vision for the future miraculously soothed Ah Hao's mind and made him gradually calm down: "You, what do you want to know?" ”

"We first arrived in the country, and we don't know much about this place, so you, a local, tell us about it?"

Next, He Lingchuan asked a question, and A Hao answered.

He Lingchuan also collected information on the Shining Gold Plain before leaving, but first, the time was in a hurry, and secondly, there were many small countries here, and the king's banner changed at both ends of the city in three days, so the information was either incomplete or outdated - like the Kite Country was on the edge of Bega, but most people in Bega didn't know or care about how many states and counties the Kite Country had, what products it had, and who the monarch was.

Even Fang Canran couldn't recite the names of all the small countries on the Shining Gold Plain.

This time, the place where the incident took place, He Lingchuan only knew a little about the surface, and the specific situation had to be asked to the local aborigines.

Ah Hao is less than twenty-five years old this year, but he is older than Hun Guo, because the country has only been established for thirteen years.

The area of the country is about the same as that of the Fu country, and it is also a small country, although it sits on the mountain and faces the sea and has a natural harbor, and the innate resource endowment is far better than the Fu country, but the fate is very bumpy.

Within eighty years, seven kingdoms had been replaced.

The shortest term was the former monarch, who reigned for only thirty-five days before being usurped by the current one, and was silenced after half a year of solitary confinement, and it is said that he died of depression.

King Hun was originally an important minister of the previous dynasty, and when he usurped power, he happened to be at the age of knowing the mandate of heaven, and now he is in his sixties.

Since he came to power, he has fought three wars with other countries, during which he has also suppressed domestic rebels twice - he started by usurping power, and if he can usurp, others will naturally want to follow suit.

These rebel leaders are all generals of the former dynasty, and they have soldiers and land, so they are very difficult to fight.

In just 13 years, the country has been mobilizing troops for seven years, so the domestic environment is turbulent; However, it also borrowed a lot of money in order to fight the war, and still owes a lot of money to its creditors, and it has almost been unable to pay the interest in recent years.

The money had to be repaid, so the people had to raise taxes, which led to the abandonment of the fields and the flight of people and businessmen.

Civilians like Ah Hao just couldn't survive in their hometown, so they fled to the port to find something to eat.

He Lingchuan asked about the situation of the royal family again.

After Ah Hao finished speaking, he knew why King Hu was in a hurry:

King Hu had four sons, the eldest of whom had been killed by his own hands six years earlier;

The second son is very talented and the most favored by King Hu, but a year ago, he went crazy in practice and lost his mind;

The third son drowned before he could reach adulthood;

The fourth son is only seven years old, and he is very young.

In fact, this old man is quite capable of giving birth, that is, he is a daughter who is energetic, there are a total of thirteen princesses, and the man who is in his heart can't live or die.

Dong Rui interjected: "How old is this second prince?" ”

Ah Hao thought for a while: "It seems to be twenty-five or six?" ”

"How is King Hu's health?"

Ah Hao looked left and right, but no one was: "I don't know." ”

Dong Rui said with a smile: "No wonder he must get a bright lantern, he is afraid that there will be no successor." ”

King Hun is already in his sixties, and his fourth son is only seven years old, so he can't count on it. If he himself has a case, this Huguo, which has only been founded for thirteen years, is afraid that he will have to change his surname again.

If the second prince recovers to his senses as usual, he will be able to solve the great trouble of King Hu's henchmen.

He Lingchuan groaned: "How much do you know about the second prince's gradual recovery? ”

Ah Hao shook his head blankly: "This, I know that there is such a thing." ”

It took two days to announce it to the whole country.

Dong Rui squinted at him: "Then you're useless." ”

Ah Hao snorted and immediately said, "No, no, no, I can inquire!" ”

Dong Rui sneered: "You little dock bastard, what can you find out?" ”

"Yes, I can!" Ah Hao hurriedly said, "Our helper's godfather is on an errand in the palace, and he is the deputy chief of the imperial feather guard!" He often sent two of his men down to the docks to collect filial piety. I know these two guards very well, and they are very well informed, especially in the palace! It is clear which dishes Concubine Mei ate for breakfast, down to which palace people and how much money she lost. ”

He swallowed: "According to the day, these two people will come to collect the money tomorrow, uh, the day after tomorrow at the latest." I—I can inquire about the news for you both. Don't talk about it here, even the information of Hudu can be obtained! ”

"Okay." He Lingchuan raised his hand and threw the big silver to him, "It costs money to do what he likes." ”

Ah Hao caught it, and before he was about to thank him, the ghost ape on his shoulder pinched his chin and opened his mouth, Dong Rui threw a pill into his mouth, and then pressed it on his throat.

Hao felt the "pill" twist twice in his throat, and then he swallowed it.

The aftertaste in the throat is a little bitter and a little fishy. He was scared, "This, what is this?" ”

"Piercing Gu worm that occurred five days later." Dong Rui smiled, "Within five days, you have to bring news to exchange for the antidote, and you have to keep it secret for us, otherwise the Gu worm will become a moth, bite through the stomach and intestines, and break out of the abdomen." This is my exclusive secret technique, it's useless for you to find any doctor, you can't solve it! If you don't believe me, just go to the doctor. ”

How can this kind of petty gangster who steals have credibility at all? Dong Rui has to add a heavy insurance.

Ah Hao was so frightened that his face turned pale.

Dong Rui said again: "You press the Qi Sea Acupoint, which is the lower abdomen." ”

Ah Hao pressed it according to his words, his abdomen suddenly spasmed, he was defenseless, and he squatted on the ground in pain, almost crying.

"If you don't get the antidote in five days, the pain will be ten times more intense than it is now."

He Lingchuan also squatted down and said to Ah Hao: "You have to focus on two things, what the second prince used to restore his senses, and where did he get this thing." If you get the answer, you don't have to die. ”

Ah Hao relieved himself and nodded desperately:

"Yes, yes, I will definitely ask for you two clearly and clearly!"
