Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Gathering of Evil Spirits Suspects Strangeness
So, why did the ink smokers probe Shen Yixi's details? In fact, in the final analysis, it is still for the rumored tiger tooth in his hand. It can be seen from this that the "Shanzi" who was sent by him as an undercover agent has a very difficult task!
Early in the morning, Shanzi swept all parts of the teahouse as usual, but found that the atmosphere in the teahouse today seemed to be different from usual. After a while, several carriages came one after another outside the door of the teahouse, and some strangely dressed people got out of the carriages.
One of them was a guy who was wearing a coat and a hat on a sunny day, covering himself up and down. There was an old woman who was very old, and she was dressed in colorful clothes, and her dress was too charming. There were also two strong men wearing samurai uniforms and carrying bows and arrows with them.
It seemed that these people were supposed to be invited guests, but they arrived together first - and the host never showed up! It was the butler Shen An who came forward to greet the guests, and he apologized again and again on behalf of the host, and then arranged the guests to the innermost elegant room on the second floor.
Xiao Shan watched coldly, expecting that these people must have important matters to discuss, so he wanted to take the opportunity to get closer...... Who knew that before the others reached the corner on the second floor, they were rudely intercepted by two fierce thugs! When things go wrong, there must be demons - this time, Xiao Shan was even more sure of his judgment: what those people were talking about must be a confidential matter.
But how could he eavesdrop? Xiao Shan is worthy of being a ghost elf, he saw that he couldn't go straight up to the second floor, so he simply went downstairs again and went around to the backyard to observe the terrain. Under the window of the large private room on the second floor, several tall cacti were deliberately planted against the wallβso that it would be difficult for anyone who wanted to eavesdrop on them to get close.
Xiao Shan pretended to bow his head and sweep the floor, and sneaked a few glances at that place, feeling that there was really no chance from the outside, and he was secretly feeling depressed...... Just as he was about to give up, his eyes suddenly lit up: yes, what if you use that window on the first floor?
The room on the first floor was directly opposite the large elegant room on the second floor, Xiao Shan remembered that it was a utility room, and it was never locked. After discovering this flaw, Xiao Shan hurriedly took advantage of no one's attention and quietly went into the utility room to see if there was any best place to overhear those people's conversations.
He looked up and saw several wooden shelves by the window, piled up with all sorts of miscellaneous items. Xiaoshan people are thin and have long feet, and it is not difficult to climb up to that shelf, but I don't know what to say if someone finds out?
He didn't have a word to deal with for a while, so he had to retreat first-but at a glance, he saw Shen Yixi hurriedly stepping into the teahouse. Shen An, the butler who was following him, turned his head to see Xiao Shan, and immediately raised his voice and shouted, "Shanzi, there's nothing to do, right?" Just in time, hurry up and clean up the utility room! β
It's true that someone brought you a pillow right away as soon as you dozed off! For such a "drudgery", Xiao Shan can't ask for it! So he immediately said yes loudly, rolled up his sleeves, and began to with a snort......
In this way, Xiao Shan finally climbed onto the wooden shelf as he wished, and pricked up his ears to listen to what those people were discussing...... Sure enough, these strangely dressed guests are all "VIPs" invited by Shen Yixi - and their origins are not small!
Xiao Shan listened attentively, but the more he listened, the more creepy he felt! It turned out that the one who was still wearing a hat and a cloak on a sunny day was actually the number one killer today-the clothed guest! And the old woman who was dressed in bewitching clothes was a sick old raccoon known for being yin and poisonous. The other two strong men dressed as samurai, both the host and the guest communicate with each other, and their identities are not very clear......
During the banquet, the old woman and the sick old fox were the best at talking, and most of the words were between her and Shen Yixi. The other three guests remained silent, as if they were out of the way.
Xiao Shan curled up on the top of the wooden shelf very hard, craned his neck, stretched his ears, and listened intently for a long time, but he didn't hear anything about the main idea. Later, he even began to wonder: Is he too sensitive? Perhaps, these people are just idle and get together to talk?
Just when he was about to give up eavesdropping and relax his already stiff body, he suddenly heard the sick old fox mention her "feat" on the outskirts of Yongwei last time! It was early in the morning of the next day after the kidnapping of Nasol, the guard of the prince of Dongao, and the sick old raccoon dog shared two horse-drawn carriages suspected of being kidnappers, causing the elite of the patrol battalion to suffer heavy losses on the outskirts of the city!
At this time, Shen Yixi spoke, and he asked in a deep voice: "Old Tanuki, the lower official is a little puzzled. β
"Xi Weng, please speak ......"
"Think about that time, the patrol battalion divided into two roads, and pounced in two directions, the western suburbs and the southern suburbs of the city. And you are good at kung fu, but how can you use deception in two places at the same time? β
"Haha, hahaha!" The sick old fox couldn't help but laugh wildly when she heard this, and after laughing, she looked at Shen Yixi with tearful eyes, and said leisurely: "Xi Weng, is there something you still don't know? β
"What?" Shen Yixi was quite surprised to see her suddenly ask like this.
"My old raccoon dog has been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes for decades, how can I always act alone?" After she finished the first half of the sentence, she looked around at the people present, and after making sure that everyone was at a loss, she continued: "My old raccoon dog is the first person of the largest gang today, the Julie Gang!" Tell me, can I do things without helpers? β
As soon as the words of the sick old raccoon came out, everyone present invariably "ah", they would never have thought: this "lone traveler" who has always liked to take risks alone turned out to be the helmsman of a big gang! After hearing this, the other "masters" present suddenly became uncomfortable - why is this?
It turns out that the Julie Gang, which has been rampant on the rivers and lakes for many years, has two particularly significant characteristics. First, they have reached the pinnacle of their methods in the use of explosives, and no other sect has been able to catch up with them so far; Second, the Julie Gang has always adhered to the "wolf pack tactical principle", and when they go out, they often gather with ants and wolves, and never fall alone, and they have always relied on hugging and relying on more to win when they go out.
It was precisely because of the thought that the Julie Gang believed in the way of "relying on more to win", so the other masters present suddenly felt uncomfortable and uncomfortable......
For their reaction, the shrewd Shen Yixi naturally saw it, but he just deliberately didn't say anything. Because in fact, in his heart, he especially likes this high-risk situation of "hanging sword scary" - only in this way can he take the initiative to control the situation!
