Chapter 242: Shao Guangbao
The innkeeper kept explaining and apologizing, but the winter melon was constantly entangled, that is, the shopkeeper wanted to find them two guest rooms. The two of them became louder and louder, attracting both the shopkeepers and the people on the road, and in a moment, they were densely circled.
What do they want to do? Temptation or cover?
Is it to test my endurance? Or test my strength?
Isn't it temptation? But cover? Excuse yourself to make such a noise, and then cover them to take advantage of the chaos to do something to Lao Tzu?
"Sister Bai, how far is this place to the capital?" Ma Hanshan called Bai Shengxi over and said.
"I hate it, how many times have you said it, don't call me sister... Family... People are just tall. Bai Shengxi used to call Mahan Mountain how to call it, but after he liked Mahan Mountain, he felt that he was calling his sister old.
"Yes, yes, I'll call you Sister Bai from now on." For some reason, every time Ma Hanshan calls Bai Shengxi, he thinks of the white snake in the legend of the White Snake. He smiled and said, "Sister Bai, tell my brother quickly, how far is it to go to the capital, and how much time will it take?" ”
Damn, sister and brother, why does it always sound a little awkward?
"It's still far away, there are still two hundred miles from here to Yingli, and more than three hundred miles from Yingli City to the capital." Bai Shengxi pretended to be shy.
Tsk, woman, it's really a monster, why are you pretending to be like this, Miss Bai's true colors are charming.
"How far is it? Well, are there any dangerous areas on the way, such as canyons or something. Ma Hanshan thought for a moment and said.
Bai Shengxi thought for a while, shook his head and said: "All the way north, the official roads are very spacious, there are no canyons, and there are no dangerous shoals or anything. “
"Oh, then, are they going to do it here, or will they wait until Yingli City to do it?" Ma Hanshan said to himself.
"I think they will do it here, two hundred miles from Yingli, more than two hundred miles to Jincheng County, and there is no one in a large area nearby, isn't this the best place to make money and kill people? Even if you kill a few people, the Lizheng squire in the town can't do anything. Bai Shengxi actually concluded that if someone wanted to do it, they would definitely do it here.
"Really? Well, since you have concluded that someone else will do something here, then you go and prepare, how about we invite you into the urn once? Ma Hanshan said with a smile.
"That's... Something at the door? Bai Shengxi felt that the dispute at the door should be stopped.
"What are you doing with him at the door? If it's only noisy, when they're singing, if it's fighting, when the trick is good, if it's exciting, we should applaud. Ma Hanshan said with a smile.
Bai Shengxi looked at Ma Hanshan's special smiling face, and responded a little distractedly, then turned around and went back to his room, and then came out again after a while, it turned out that he had cleaned himself up and was about to go to the door to "listen to the song".
Some people say that the IQ of people who are in love will become lower, based on this, is Bai Shengxi secretly in love with Mahan Mountain? Otherwise, how could she think what Ma Hanshan said was so reasonable?
"Miss Bai, where are you going?" Satsuki chased after her.
"I'll go to the door and listen to the song, and if they fight, it's even better, and if they play well, I'll applaud them." Bai Shengxi said seriously.
Hehe, this big girl and big sister are really October mustard - the owner of Tsushima Dazhai has a heart, she wants to play sister and brother love.
"Confused, this is very likely someone else's plan, you all ran to the door to see the excitement, what should Childe do? Isn't it in the hands of others? Satsuki scolded.
Sure enough, because of Bai Shengxi's unrequited love, his IQ dropped extremely.
"Huh? Right! We don't go to see the excitement... 147, 258....... Bai Shengxi was woken up by Xiaoyue's words, and couldn't help but be shocked, Mom, I almost fell into the trick.
As soon as Bai Shengxi shouted like this, 147258 and the two security guards of the Wagang Zhai faction came out of the room.
"Miss Bai, what's wrong?" 147 is the most familiar with her, and the first time Bai Shengxi's brother and sister saw Ma Hanshan was the road she led.
"Don't leave Childe, this may be someone else's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, enter the house, and the four of you will guard the door of the two people in the house." Bai Shengxi commanded people, and there was actually a natural superior's momentum, and they couldn't help but agree.
Although Ma Hanshan was not afraid, he did not refuse the kindness of these goods, and he was bored in the room, and even sang "A Laugh in the Sea", which he hadn't sung for a long time. Hmph, don't think that he sings to scare wolves, in his previous life, Boss Ma was one of the most capable singing bigwigs on the rivers and lakes, especially singing this song "A Laugh in the Sea", which has a unique flavor of rivers and lakes.
No one knew what Mrs. Honey meant, anyway, after a while, they left, and then, the night was safe, and after breakfast the next day, Ma Hanshan led everyone to continue on their way.
Mrs. Mi and the others were gone, and they were mixed with other caravans in Mahanshan, and they arrived at Shaoguang Fort quietly and safely. This is the outskirts of the capital city of Xixia, and it is a very old small market town. However, this small market town is much more famous than the Guishun Prefecture, which governs it.
This place is famous because this place has produced three well-known generals and two prime ministers. But there were two more famous peasant uprisings.
However, this is all history, and now, this is just a pass to the south of the capital of the West Gorge.
Compared with other market towns, Shaoguangbao is relatively the most lively.
In the evening of this day, Ma Hanshan and they entered Shaoguang Fort, and Ma Hanshan decided to stay here for one night and accompany Bi Liancheng into the city tomorrow. Ma Hanshan chose to live outside the city to give a "chance" to those who have followed all the way and have never made a move.
There are some dangers, as long as you see the light, they are not dangers.
The small market town in Hexi is really small, and the concept of a small market town in the south of the Yangtze River is completely different.
"Famous Town" Shaoguangbao, located on the edge of a large mound on the west bank of the Huangshui River, a large avenue runs through the north and south, two or three hundred households, scattered on both sides of the avenue respectively, the whole Shaoguangbao market town, more than one mile long from north to south, only one or two hundred zhang wide from east to west.
Don't look at the permanent population of Shaoguangbao is only one or two thousand people, but here the restaurants and groceries are complete, and there are many inns, and there are more than ten inns on the side of the avenue of more than a mile.
It is no wonder that this route was originally the main traffic artery of the West Gorge, and people who couldn't catch up with the caravans entering the city, or those who didn't want to rush the night when they went out of the city, would stay in this place for the night, so Shaoguangbao's food and accommodation business was very good.
Shaoguang Fort is not big, but the inns here are very large, and there are dozens of rooms at every turn. Ma Hanshan and others, on the north side of the street, found a "high-end suite" inn, the backyard to the bag, this is Ma Hanshan's consistent style, he always said to be low-key, but travel is always low-key, this guy likes to enjoy.
NND, he has been running around all his life, and he feels that he has to enjoy it in this life.
Ma Hanshan and the others settled down, and it was dark.
This avenue, even in the middle of the night, there are people coming, so it is not surprising that someone enters Shaoguang Fort after dark.
Two merchants, with five or six chauffeurs to protect the goods into the inn, also asked for a separate courtyard, the boss told the innkeeper, if there is a businessman surnamed Hou looking for the boss of Jin, take them to the yard, everyone agreed.
The climate in Hexi is different from the climate in the north and south of the river, and the temperature difference between day and night is large. At the end of July, in many places on the north and south banks of the river, it is still the time of fire in July, and here in Shaoguangbao, the day is also very hot, and it is the highest temperature during the day here, but it is very cool at night.
Late at night, except for the two "kilns" in the south and the north, there are some red-faced and hot sounds from time to time, and there is only the occasional dog barking, and the whole Shaoguangbao is quiet and frightening.
In fact, in ancient times, most places were frighteningly quiet at night.
Bangbang Tuk Tuk A few bangs sounded, and at the beginning of the fourth watch, three figures "floated" across the paddock of the Shunping Inn where they lived in Mahan Mountain.
is so beautiful and light, and people with more than 100 catties landed quietly, like a fallen leaf.
After the three figures landed, they easily entered the courtyard where Boss Jin lived. With a snort, as soon as they entered the small courtyard, the lights in the house came on and the door opened silently. Apparently, the people in the house had been waiting for them.
The leader of the house was the first to enter the house, and said to those who were sitting in the middle of the house, "Steward, they are coming." ”
"Oh, it turned out to be two big cave masters, please take a seat." Boss Jin, who was sitting in the middle hall, raised his head and said, he didn't mean to stand up to greet the guests.
The two people who came in hugged their fists and said in unison to the chief steward sitting upright, "Inspiration... Boss, long time gone. ”
Who are the people in this room? They don't look like merchants at all.
Of course, they are not businessmen, because sitting in the middle hall is the chief manager of the Six Princes of Donghu, and the guy who led in just now is Peng Linghu, the most ruthless killer in the Six Princes' Mansion.
The two people who came to meet the chief manager of the spirit machine are not unknown, one of them is the cave master of Bilian Cave in Shuxi, Sang Tugong. This guy is called Tugong but he is as his name suggests, and I don't know where he went to learn the art of escaping the ground, he can escape through the soil, he also has a stunt is the cow hair needle, the highly toxic cow hair needle is silent, see the blood seal the throat, in the martial arts of Shu, people hate him with itchy teeth but have no way to take him, people can escape.
The other is called Xuanhuangzi, who is also a loose cultivator in the art world, and is the cave master of the Tibetan Border Qiulong Cave. It is said that after he mutters a mantra, his enemies become dumbfounded, crazy, and weakened.
Why did they sneak up on the Venerable Master at this time?
That's why they came to meet with the Spirit Master at this time, it was because they were the people of Li Zunji, the uncle of the Xixia Emperor, and the two of them came to meet the Spirit Master at this time because they had just returned from a business trip.
The people of the sixth prince of Donghu and the people of the imperial uncle of Xixia, what do they want to do when they meet secretly in this inn in the middle of the night?
Nothing else, the target is to live in the neighboring courtyard of Mahan Mountain.
However, they are not trying to kill Mahanshan now, but to kidnap them. This is also the reason why Mahanshan did not have trouble along the way.
