Volume II: Chapter 68: Half a Sheepskin
"First time in Youzhou? Are you sure? ”
"Of course, I've been in Youzhou City for more than 20 years, and I know almost all the caravans that often come to Youzhou, but I haven't seen them."
"I see. The shopkeeper, bring us four beef buns and two bowls of millet porridge. ”
"Okay, please wait, I'll send it to you right away."
Feng Zimo turned around and walked towards the table where Huo Qiushi was sitting, and halfway through, he suddenly thought of something and turned back.
"Guest, what else do you command?"
"Ask you personally, do you know if there is a person named Li Daqiang in Youzhou City? His daughter-in-law was bought from officers and soldiers. ”
"Li Daqiang, Li Daqiang." The shopkeeper thought for a while and shook his head, "I don't know, guest officer, you can go and ask others." ”
"Okay, thank you." Although he had already guessed the result, Feng Zimo was still a little disappointed in his heart, but he didn't show it. He walked over to Huo Qiushi and sat down.
"How's it going?" Huo Qiushi asked.
"As we thought, they are not a caravan, they came to Youzhou for another purpose." Feng Zimo whispered.
"So what do we do?"
"Keep the status quo, as long as they don't take the initiative to provoke us, let's not deal with them."
"Got it."
"Two guest officers, please use the steamed buns and millet porridge you want." The shopkeeper brought up the food of Fengzi's ink dots.
Feng Zimo picked up a bun and handed it to Huo Qiushi, saying, "Hurry up and eat, we still have business to do." ”
"Hmm."
At this time, Lie Yu walked down from the second floor, and he came to Zhang Wanmeng this time. This time, he didn't ask, so he sat down directly opposite Zhang Wanmeng.
Zhang Wanmeng ignored him and ate by herself.
Lie Yu smiled slightly and said, "Girl, I heard that eight people died in your caravan at once in the night, it's really unfortunate!" ”
Zhang Wanmeng glanced at him: "What do you want to say?" ”
Lie Yu suddenly stretched out his head to bring the distance between himself and Zhang Wanmeng closer, and said in a low voice: "From the day before yesterday to the present, a total of ten people have died in your caravan. And Miss Zhang didn't choose to report to the official, which is nothing more than two situations, first, you want to shield the murderer. Of course, this is unlikely. Then there is only the second one left, and that is that you are afraid to see the officials. You're not a caravan at all, are you? ”
Zhang Wanmeng suddenly took off the knife on her leg and put it on Lie Yu's neck: "What is your purpose?" ”
Lie Yu smiled undiminishedly, slowly moved the knife aside with a folding fan, and said, "Don't worry, I have no malicious intentions." As for my purpose, come with me. ”
With that, Lie Yu stood up and walked to the second floor, returning to his room.
Zhang Wanmeng hesitated for a moment, and finally got up and followed.
"Brother Zimo, what did you say that Lie Yu told her?" Looking at the two people who went upstairs, Huo Qiushi spoke. She only saw the two talking, and didn't hear what they were saying.
Feng Zimo shrugged: "I don't know, but it must not feel like a good thing." ”
Zhang Wanmeng followed Lie Yu to his room and said, "What do you want to do?" ”
Lie Yu smiled slightly, pointed to the table, and said, "Please see." ”
On the table was a half-worn sheepskin, very worn, and it looked like it had been many years old. There is something drawn on the sheepskin that looks like a map.
Seeing this half of the sheepskin, Zhang Wanmeng instantly became excited and said, "Where did you get this?" ”
"This Miss Zhang doesn't need to ask. Now you can listen to it, right? ”
"Okay, you can say it."
"Knowing that you have half of the land in your hands, and the other half in your hands, none of us can find the place where the Divine Gate lives with only half of the map. In that case, why don't we join forces? Don't worry, girl, after finding the Divine Gate, you will only take one thing below, and the rest will be yours. ”
"Why are we joining forces with you? Wouldn't it be more convenient to kill you and grab the map? ”
Lie Yu shook his head with a smile and said, "Girl, do you think that I will be sure that I will say this in front of you?" If the girl thinks she can kill and snatch the map, then she can try. And the girl seems to have forgotten one thing, the Divine Gate, since it is a door, there must be a key, and even if you find the location of the Divine Gate without a key, it is useless. And the key to the divine gate also happens to be in the hand. ”
"Why should I trust you?"
"Girl, do you have any other choice but to believe in your next generation? I'm afraid that half of the hard-earned map has been snatched away by Long Gongzi and Miss Huo, right? ”
Zhang Wanmeng bit her lip lightly and said, "Do you have a way to snatch back what they snatched?" ”
"Of course."
"Good! Then I'll believe you once. If you dare to lie to me, I will drag you to hell even if I die! ”
Lie Yu smiled silently, not knowing what he was thinking.
……
Noon.
Feng Zimo and the two were eating at a restaurant in the north of the city, but they still found nothing in the morning, and they didn't find any clues.
"Brother Zimo, when you're full, let's go look for it in the east of the city." Huo Qiushi said.
Feng Zimo nodded: "Okay." ”
At this moment, a rapid sound of horses' hooves sounded, and about five hundred barbarian iron horsemen roared through the street outside, bringing up a large amount of dust and choking passers-by.
"Phew! Running so fast, are these officers and soldiers in a hurry to reincarnate? ”
"If only I really went to reincarnation. I heard that the thieves were hiding in Shimu Village outside the city, and it is estimated that they went to arrest the thieves. ”
"Oh. It's a pity that this stone wood village is going to suffer. These kill a thousand knives! ”
"Yes! It is estimated that the village is going to be destroyed. ”
Feng Zimo and the two came out of the restaurant after eating, got on the horse and prepared to try their luck in the east of the city. Suddenly, Huo Qiushi was stunned, her eyes staring in one direction.
"What's wrong with Qiu Shi?"
"I saw a person just now, who looked very much like the man in black I met that night, the same time I met when I got up at night."
"There are so many people in the world who are similar in shape, maybe you are wrong."
"Perhaps."
"Alright, let's go."
"Hmm."
The two came to the east of the city and began to ask separately for clues about Li Daqiang's family, but half an hour passed, and still found nothing.
Huo Qiushi bought a string of sugar gourds and walked while eating. When passing by a stall selling turnips, she overheard a conversation between two old women selling vegetables: "Your clothes are really good, you make them yourself?" ”
"No, how can I have that ability, it was done with the help of Li Daqiang and his daughter-in-law in our village. Let me tell you, in our village, no one can compare to her when it comes to needlework. ”
"Really? Then I'll go to your village another day and ask her to make one for me. ”
