Chapter 120: The Enemy
The woman came in and poured a glass of water, and took it to drink, but because her hands were shaking, she couldn't bring it to her mouth.
Wei Yan didn't know why, and asked again: "Eldest sister, what's going on?" ”
The woman was too frightened to speak, and the man replied, "I have a group of enemies outside, and I dare not go out now, and we can't go out until they are gone." You help us go and see when the group is going to leave, and then come back and tell me. ”
Wei Yan realized that their family was not returning to their hometown to farm, but fleeing.
Wei Yan replied, "Oh! I see, I'll take a look at it for you. So Wei Yan went out and came downstairs to the hall, and sure enough, she saw a group of people eating and drinking.
Wei Yan was afraid of arousing suspicion, so she said to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, help me fry a few more side dishes." ”
The shopkeeper said strangely: "Girl, haven't you just eaten it?" ”
Wei Yan replied: "I'm afraid of hunger at night, so I'm going to eat it in the middle of the night." ”
The shopkeeper then said, "Oh! I see, I see. I'll send you directly to your room in a moment? ”
Wei Yan replied: "No need, you fry me now, and I'll bring it myself." ”
The shopkeeper said, "Then you have to wait a while, you see there are several more tables here!" They ordered it first. ”
Wei Yan said: "Don't worry, you do it for them first, and then make it for me last, I'll wait." ”
The shopkeeper smiled: "That's the best, you wait." ”
Wei Yan's order was just an excuse, so that she could stay in the lobby so that she could monitor the every move of these unknown people. In the lobby of the inn, in addition to Wei Yan, there were twenty-five people. There were three tables of big men sitting on the wall, gobbling up and eating happily. At the table opposite Wei Yan, there was only one person sitting, a young man in his twenties, and a sword was placed on the table. He ate slowly, didn't drink like the others, and his heart didn't seem to be on the food at all.
Wei Yan found that every once in a while, the young man would glance out the door. Therefore, Wei Yan guessed that he must be waiting for someone, and this person was most likely coming for the couple.
Wei Yan guessed correctly, this young man was indeed waiting for someone, and this person came soon. The person who came looked a little obscene, and carried a three-foot-long iron rod in his hand, which seemed to be very conspicuous. The man glanced around the room, and finally stopped at Wei Yan. Wei Yan was looked at by that person, and suddenly felt uncomfortable, as if Yang Hao was being targeted by a wolf.
The man stared at Wei Yan for a while, but he didn't say anything, but went to the young man's table to sit down.
"Here we go!" The young man said.
"Here we are." The man with the iron rod replied.
"My master said, ask you to help us do a few things." The young man's tone was a little arrogant.
"What kind of thing is your master? On what basis did he command me? The man who carried the iron rod was even more arrogant.
"You—" The young man was about to draw his sword, but the iron rod had already hit him on the top of the head, and if it hadn't been for the mercy of the man, the young man would have been killed on the spot.
Seeing this, the men at the other three tables also drew their swords, but they did not move, because the young man's life was still in the hands of the man who carried the iron rod.
"If you don't want him to die, sit down for me." Said the man with the iron rod.
The young man saw that the other party's martial arts were strong and that he was not an opponent at all, so he ordered: "Sit down." The others were ordered, sat down again, and went on eating.
"You don't give my master face, so what are you doing here?" The young man asked.
"I don't know your master, why give him face? I am giving Qin Daxia face, he asked me to help you do three things, one of which has been done, and the other two, this is the purpose of my visit. The man with the iron rod said.
When the young man heard this, he took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to the man who carried the iron rod: "Then I will not go around the bend with you, these are the other two." ”
The man with the short stick opened the letter, read it at a glance, and then stuffed the letter and the envelope into his mouth and ate it, and then asked, "One of them is in the prison of Shunqing Mansion, but what about the other?" ”
The young man replied, "Ran." We chased all the way here, but there was no trace. ”
"Okay, I got it." Said the man with the short stick.
The young man asked, "Then when are you going to do it?" ”
The man with the bale replied, "Rest here for the night today, and then do it again tomorrow." As he spoke, he went upstairs without waiting for the young man to answer. He didn't ask the shopkeeper for a room, because he knew that the young man would arrange it for him.
"Girl, your meal is ready." The shopkeeper suddenly came to Wei Yan's desk and said.
"Oh! Please help me put it in the basket and I'll carry it back to my room to eat. Wei Yan came back to her senses and said.
"Okay."
The shopkeeper then packed the food, and after Wei Yan paid the bill, she went straight back to the room with the food.
As soon as the man saw Wei Yan coming back, he immediately asked anxiously, "How is it?" Are they gone? ”
Wei Yan replied, "It seems that they are going to stay here for one night too." ”
The man slammed the table and said, "It seems that I can't leave today." ”
Wei Yan had a lot of doubts in her heart, and finally couldn't help asking, "What the hell is going on?" ”
The man hesitated for a moment, and then said to Wei Yan: "That young man's name is Xiang Kun, he is a disciple of the Qingcheng faction, and his master is Murong Jie of the Qingcheng faction. Under the surname Fan Mingchou, he was originally a catcher in Shunqing Mansion, because when he was investigating the case, he accidentally learned some secrets of the Qingcheng faction, so he was hunted down and killed by them. ”
"Oh! I see. And who is the man who carries the bastard? Wei Yan asked.
"The man who lifted the baton? I don't know, I haven't seen it. Fan Chou said.
"Just now I was down there when I saw a somewhat obscene-looking man carrying a three-foot iron rod come in. He was still discussing something with the young man, but I didn't hear it clearly. Wei Yan said carefully.
"Obscene? Three iron rods? Isn't it a Tianlong stick application? If the Qingcheng faction asks him to help, then things will be even more difficult to handle. Fan Chou looked even more nervous.
Wei Yan asked, "What secrets do you know about them?" ”
Fan Chou said: "Girl, there are some things that you still don't have to know." The more I know, the more dangerous it becomes, and I just know too much, too much to fall into this field. ”
Wei Yan asked again: "Why don't you report to the official?" ”
Fan Chou sneered: "Hehe! Report to the officer? I'm an official in the first place, and if it's useful to report to the official, I won't have to run away. ”
"Looks like we're only going to be able to stay here for one night." The woman said.
Wei Yan opened the basket at this time, took out the food and said, "Then eat something first, and then you will leave tomorrow when they leave." ”
"That's all it can be."
