The next day, Long Zixi said goodbye, glued his fake beard again, and came in the direction of Taiyuan alone.

While traveling, he secretly investigated the whereabouts of Young Master Yin and his party, but found nothing.

couldn't help but feel a little anxious, and said in his heart:

That Young Master Yin is only two days ahead of me, there are many of them, they must not be able to go fast, even if they can't catch up, it should not be far, but how can they not find any traces of them?

I am afraid that I am going on the wrong road, so I often ask people to inquire, but it is not wrong, this road is the official road from Baodi to Taiyuan.

Secretly thought, let's go, I'll rush to Taiyuan, that Ji is just a famous overlord in Taiyuan, and I can't find him.

If you find him, you will naturally have the whereabouts of Young Master Yin.

At the moment, he simply stopped visiting, and only cared about hurrying.

After traveling for a few days, I arrived in Taiyuan early.

Taiyuan is also a big city, although it is not as good as Baocheng, but it is also quite prosperous.

When Long Zixi arrived in Taiyuan, it was already afternoon.

I felt a little tired and didn't want to see the scenery, so I found an inn to live in.

I thought to myself, and I don't know where Naji just lived.

I thought again, if Yin Qiu and his party came, they would also want to stay at the inn, and I went to the inn to check, so I didn't worry about finding clues.

Seeing that there was still some time before dinner, I left the store and slowly searched the street.

I was walking down the street when I heard a voice from behind.

Looking back, it was a team walking slowly.

When I got closer, I saw twenty or thirty soldiers in front of the team, armed with halberds.

Behind is four horses, and immediately the four of them surprised Longzixi!

It turned out to be the four brothers of the Fang family who were "difficult to chase after four horses".

I thought to myself, I don't know who the four brothers of the Fang family followed after Du Bo's death.

The four men were followed by a carriage, drawn by four horses, with a well-decorated trunk and draped curtains.

On the side of the carriage, there were five guards each, with blazing eyes and sharp blades hanging from their waists.

Behind the carriage, there were fifty or sixty soldiers, also Chang Ge in hand, all armed.

Long Zi said in the west, the four brothers of the Fang family appeared here, and then look at this frame, the official position of the person in the car must be not small.

When the crowd saw the convoy coming, they all avoided it.

Long Zixi also watched in the crowd and found that the four brothers of the Fang family did not recognize him.

I couldn't help touching my beard, and laughed in my heart that this beard was quite effective.

In fact, the four brothers of the Fang family didn't recognize him, not only because he had a sticky beard, but also because after nearly half a year of running, the wind and the sun were blowing, Long Zixi was already dark-skinned, adding a little maturity, which was quite different from when he first entered Hojing, but he didn't know it.

The line passed slowly.

Long Zixi said in his heart, in recent years, the border between the Zhou royal family and the Northwest Inurong has been unstable, could it be that there are any officials here to supervise the war?

That's normal.

Now, don't think about it, just move on.

After walking another way, I came to another street, and saw an inn in the distance, and three people were walking out of the door.

Looking at the three people, they were all dressed in short clothes, and they looked like martial arts masters, but they left the store and hurried east.

Long Zixi secretly thought, looking at the appearance of these people, could it be Yin Qiu's subordinates?

Immediately tiptoed over.

But I saw the four of them hurrying for a while and came to a pharmacy at the end of the road.

Long Zixi glanced at the signboard at the door, but it was a pharmacy specializing in medicinal materials in the Western Regions.

The strange thing is that other shops are open to customers, but this one is closed.

Secretly watching the movements of the three people, he saw that the three people had arrived at the door, stopped, looked around, and entered the drugstore.

Long Zixi paused for a moment, had an idea, straightened his chest, and entered the pharmacy in a big way.

When I entered the store, I found that the three were gone.

Long Zixi looked around and saw that there were several people who wanted to exchange food for medicinal herbs and were bargaining with the boss.

The guy in the shop saw Long Zixi coming in and beckoned:

"The guest officer needs medicinal herbs?"

Long Zixi twisted the beard on his chin and said in a mocking manner:

"That's why there are so many varieties of medicinal herbs here?"

Guy said:

"It's not a small boast, there are more than four or five hundred kinds of medicinal materials in our store.

"In this Taiyuan city, there is no second pharmacy that can compare here.

"I wonder if the guest officer is for his own use, or does he make a living?

"What herbs do you need?"

Longzi pretended to be knowledgeable and waved his hand:

"Don't ask, you have to take a good look first. Whether it's good or bad, you'll see. ”

The guy laughed:

"Well, just look at it, these are all good medicinal materials from the Western Regions."

Long Zixi pretended to check the medicinal herbs, but secretly looked around, and saw that there was a door on the side of the counter, and there was nothing unusual elsewhere. Heart:

"Those three people must have entered from here, and it seems that there must be someone else in there."

After staying for a while, he pretended not to be in the match, and left the store.

Long Zixi observed at the door, came to the back of the pharmacy, and just approached the window, he heard someone inside:

"The stakes are high, and you must be very careful to make sure nothing goes wrong."

The voice is not loud, and it is impossible to tell if it is Yin Qiu.

Look at the window, it has been stapled with a wooden plank, but I can't dig a hole to peek, so I have to stick my ears as close as I can.

But I heard another man:

"According to our investigation in advance, there are also very strict precautions, and there are several masters who are inseparable from him. What if you can't? ”

The man who spoke first said:

"The other party is strictly guarded, he has a master, don't you also claim to be a master?

"Remember, we can only succeed, not fail.

"You must be prepared to fight to the death.

"Also, tell your men that if someone misses and is caught, or is seriously injured, they will follow the old rules."

Long Zixi thought, the old rules? What's that rule?

I only heard someone speak again, and his tone was very confident:

"The host was right! Although there are many people on the other side and their martial arts are not weak, our side is all elite people, and we are sure of victory. Please rest assured hosts! ”

The first voice said:

"Then it's decided. We're going to leave tonight and tell everyone to stay in the store and not go anywhere. ”

Several people said in unison:

"Yes."

After a while, there were footsteps, but no one spoke.

Long Zixi knew that they must have left the room, so he quickly turned to the corner of the room, peeked through the cover of the gable, and saw that the three people were leaving the store just now, hurrying away.

Long Zixi secretly followed, crossed a street, but saw them enter another inn and never come out. Heart:

"These people must live here, but the guy at the pharmacy is the leader."

But it was difficult to tell for a while whether they were Yin Qiu's gang or not.

I would rather believe what they have than what they don't, and I will treat them as people from the camel Dongzhuang, and I will follow them at night.

114

On the way back to the inn, Long Zixi wanted to ask passers-by about the whereabouts of Na Ji Gang, but he thought that Na Ji Gang was experienced and had many eyes and ears, so he took the liberty of inquiring and exposed that he was not beautiful, so he broke off the idea of inquiring and only secretly visited.

And after two more streets, it was already dark.

Passing by a restaurant in the flavor building, I saw people dangling there in front of the restaurant.

Although those people seem to be nothing, they are actually very vigilant, how can they escape Long Zixi's eyes?

Longzi Xixin said:

"There are people on guard outside, there must be some important person inside. Could it be Ji Gang? Or is it Yin Qiu? ”

With a thought, he turned around and walked towards the restaurant.

But someone stopped him at the door:

"The museum is full, don't come back!"

Long Zixi smiled:

"When I first arrived in Taiyuan, I said that this shop was the most flavorful, how to be unlucky! It seems that there is no mouthful. What kind of person is such a big field, taking up a restaurant! I wonder what tomorrow will be? Do you do this every day here? ”

But the man was impatient, and cried out:

"Just tell you it's full, what a word!"

Long Zixi pretended to be dissatisfied:

"You just care what it's called! I'll ask, what kind of bird is tight! ”

Two or three people had already come around, and one person came up to push Long Zixi:

"Get out! What do you care about, you man! ”

There was a commotion when a person walked out of the restaurant.

Long Zixi peeked at it, it was the second brother of the Fang family.

The second Fang didn't recognize Long Zixi, and asked:

"What's the noise?"

Humane:

"I don't know where a bird man came out, and I want to go in and eat."

The second fang looked at Long Zixi, looked at it for a while, and obviously didn't recognize Long Zixi. Then he said kindly:

"This brother is not strange, there are indeed no vacancies in this store. Please look elsewhere. ”

Long Zixi was afraid that after a long time, there would be an accident, so he pretended to be scared, and said in a pinched tone:

"Good, good. I've never seen such a store, and I don't do door-to-door business. Hmph, I'm unlucky, I can't die if I don't eat your food. ”

As he spoke, he deliberately went crazy and left step by step.

115

Long Zixi thought as he walked, since the Fang family brothers are here, it is impossible for the people inside to be Ji Gang or Yin Qiu, so who will it be?

By the way, it must be the big official who came in the afternoon.

In the past, Long Zixi naturally didn't think much about it, but after this period of experience, he also grew a little more thoughtful, and couldn't help but think:

Why did they also come to Taiyuan?

Will it be bad for me?

It's better to find out and reassure me.

I made up my mind, and after walking less than fifty or sixty steps, I jumped onto the roof in a place where no one was looking.

The row of houses is next to each other, although the height is different, but where is it rare to live in Longzixi?

I went back to the roof of the flavor building along the roof, gently picked up a small crack in the roof thatch, and peeked in.

I saw a banquet in the house, and four people sat around the table.

Sitting in the center was a young man of twenty-six or seventeen years old, with a fair complexion, slightly fat, and a kind appearance.

On each side was an official, one in his forties and the other in his fifties, who was very humble to the young man.

Sitting opposite the young man was a man who looked like a scholar under forty years old, looking handsome and chic.

Behind the person sitting in the center, there were two people, who were Boss Fang and Boss Fang.

Long Zixi thought to himself, the person sitting in the main seat must be the person in the car on the street in the afternoon, seeing that he is young and has been a good official.

But I saw a few people talking while eating.

Just listen to the official on the right:

"My lord, there are no outsiders here, why not ......"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the young man in the middle:

"Lord Lu, let's call me Lord Tu. My visit to Taiyuan this time is not trivial, and I must prevent the partition wall from having ears. ”

Another official:

"What the Lord said is extremely true, except for the two lowly positions, no one else in Taiyuan knows the true identity of the adult. Adults can rest assured. ”

The native is humane:

"I'm only staying in Taiyuan for a while, and I'm going to leave in two days, is everything arranged?"

Lu Da Da Humane:

"It's all arranged, don't worry."

Lord Natu nodded and said:

"If this thing is done well, it will certainly be of great benefit to the country, and the people will be spared the pain of war."

The official on the left:

"Exactly, if the people know that the court loves the people so much, they should be grateful."

Long Zixi listened to it for a while and knew that there was something important about this Tu Da, but it was beneficial to the country and the people. Heart:

"If it's really a good thing for the country and the people, it's respectable."

Listen to the earth again:

"In recent years, the border has been unstable, and our king has no choice but to adopt the policy of 'feeding the people' in Taiyuan. I heard that the people of Taiyuan are quite dissatisfied with the 'material people', but is it true? ”

Lu Da Da Humane:

"That's all grass people ignorance, and there are occasional complaints, so we should do our best to suppress them, and adults don't have to worry."

The earth lord sighed and said:

"The policy of 'feeding the people' is also a last resort.

"Does the court not know the suffering of the people?

"As a parent official, you should be sympathetic to the people's feelings, do more to appease, and don't blindly force and provoke the people."

The two officials said:

"Adults teach you a lesson! We will do our duty to repay the king's kindness! ”

Master Tu said again:

"When I came this time, I brought another 5 million food and salary to the soldiers and people of Taiyuan, and you must distribute it to the people well, and you must not deduct it at all levels."

The two officials were overjoyed when they heard this, and thanked them:

"The hearts of adults are for the people, which is the blessing of the community and the blessing of the people. We will do our best not to make the good intentions of the adults out of shape in the slightest. ”

Longzi Xixin said:

"Listening to the tone, that young official looks like a good official."

Listen to the ruler on the left:

"There are not many guards brought by adults, do you need to send additional personnel to protect the place where you live?"

Tuda Humane:

"Thank you Lord Wei for your kindness, but there is no need to increase the number of people. I came in secret to avoid people's eyes. If more than one person protects it, it will not only disturb the people, but also easily attract attention. ”

But the man opposite the Tu Da said to Wei Da Da:

"It is important to avoid people's eyes and ears, but how can the safety of adults be sloppy? It is inappropriate for Mingli to send manpower, but it is necessary to strictly protect it in secret. Don't you be afraid of 10,000, just in case? ”

Wei Da Dao:

"What Lord Yu said is very true, and the next official will make arrangements in a while."

Longzi Xixin said:

"This Lord Yu is loyal to Lord Tu, and what he says is reasonable, but he speaks with a clear eye and is a little verbose."

At this time, the relationship between several people was basically clarified.

The two people accompanying him were local officials, surnamed Lu on the right and Wei on the left.

The one sitting across from him, surnamed Yu, seemed to have come with that important person.

Seeing that the Tu Master in the middle, although he was young and light, he was in a high position and respected by others, and he couldn't help but wonder.

After listening for a while, I saw that they began to gossip about it, which had nothing to do with him from beginning to end, and I was afraid that after a long time, I would be discovered by the Fang brothers, so I sneaked off the roof and returned to the inn.

Xindao: Let's see what the gang can do at night.
