When Shao Xi and Long Qitai were talking, they saw that Xiao Liuzi had walked out of the Xinjing Teahouse, and after going out, he looked left and right, and left quickly after finding no suspicious people.

Long Qitai wanted to get up and go downstairs to follow, but Shao Xi beckoned him to stop him and asked him to sit down again. Long Qitai looked at Shao Xi with a puzzled expression, and couldn't help but ask, "Don't we have to follow him anymore?" Didn't you come out today just to know what he was doing? Shao Xi smiled indifferently and said to Long Qitai: "I followed him not for him, I followed him here just to make sure that he came to Xinjing Teahouse, and I was waiting for another person." ”

"Another person? Don't......? ”

"Yes, you're not mistaken, I'm waiting for the person you find suspicious, and if I'm not mistaken, I should know this person. Xiao Liuzi will not go anywhere else when he leaves here, and he should be following your instructions to patrol at this time, and you and I are here waiting for that person to come. Long Qitai was a little confused by Shao Xi's mysterious expression, and asked Shao Xi again in great confusion: "How can you be sure that person will come today?" Shao Xi smiled again, and did not answer Long Qitai's question immediately, but asked rhetorically: "You recall carefully, every time you find that person who makes you feel suspicious appears, is that person appearing here not long after Xiao Liuzi came to Xinjing Teahouse?" Being asked by Shao Xi like this, Long Qitai immediately frowned and recalled, but after a while, he raised his head in surprise and looked at Shao Xi in front of him with incredible eyes.

"That's true! How do you know? Even I ignored this, how did you know that person would appear after Xiao Liuzi left? Shao Xi raised his hand, stretched out two fingers and said to Long Qitai very confidently: "There are two reasons, the first reason is that the words we said in front of Xiao Liuzi today and the way I deliberately showed it in Jun Xiaolou have made him completely believe that the person behind us does not exist.

"He thought that everything that had happened before had been attributed to another person, and that the news was very important to them, and that they would definitely do something about it when the potential threat was eliminated. The second reason is actually quite simple, you look at what's there? As he spoke, Shao Xi raised his hand and pointed to the roof of the Xinjing Teahouse opposite.

Long Qitai looked in the direction of Shao Xi's finger, and happened to see a few white pigeons flying across the ridge of the house flapping their wings into the distance, seeing that the direction where those pigeons took off should be the backyard of Xinjing Teahouse, Long Qitai was surprised again.

"That's ...... Is it the pigeon that delivers the message? How do you know they can fly pigeons to deliver messages? ”

"I have already told you that they use the carriage to deliver the message because of the importance of the message, and because they are afraid that the news will leak out, so they use the safest way, but this does not mean that they will not use flying pigeons to deliver the message.

"As long as it is some urgent and brief news, they only need to write the code word on the note and quickly spread the news with pigeons, and the person who receives the message will rush to the place where the information is handed over through the code word on the note to understand the details of the news.

"To put it simply, the pigeon is only used to inform the other party that there is important news, and the real messaging is done from person to person, so that it can be fast and safe." Long Qitai finally understood what Shao Xi meant.

"Are you saying that Xinjing Teahouse used a flying pigeon to send a message to notify that person to come, inform that person of the news that Xiao Liuzi just provided to them, and then that person will bring the news back to the person behind the scenes?" Long Qitai had just finished asking this question, and before Shao Xi could answer, he seemed to think of something all of a sudden, and hurriedly opened his mouth and asked, "Wait!" You just said something about that person, do you know? If you know that person, does it mean that you also know the person behind the scenes? Shao Xi put his thumb against his chin, thought about it seriously, and said with some uncertainty: "I just said that I should know him, so far it's just speculation, and even if this person is really the one I know, I'm still not sure who the person behind the scenes is."

"But there is one thing that you should be right, that is that the person behind the scenes should also be someone I know, as for who it is not easy to say, you don't have to ask me until you have a very certain answer, and I will not say anything uncertain." Long Qitai felt very uncomfortable at this moment, he felt that Shao Xi obviously had an answer in his heart, but he was not sure at the moment.

But Shao Xi also said that he wouldn't say anything uncertain, but Long Qitai especially wanted to know what kind of answer it was?

Knowing that Shao Xi had the answer in his heart, he still had to let himself guess, which aroused Long Qitai's strong curiosity.

The more Shao Xi didn't say it, the more he wanted to know, the feeling of itching in his heart and scratching his heart and liver really made him uncomfortable.

But he also knew that the things that Shao Xi refused to say must be things he shouldn't know, and after being on an errand in Dali Temple for so long, he also knew that there were some things to ask and some things not to ask.

It's best not to inquire about things you shouldn't know, because it may not be good for you to know them, and if you get into trouble because of curiosity, it's really not worth it.

So Long Qitai suppressed the curiosity in his heart, and did not continue to ask Shao Xi, he believed that one day Shao Xi would naturally tell him when he thought he should tell him, and now he could only quietly accompany Shao Xi and wait for that person to appear.

He really wanted to know how he would react if the person who appeared was really the person Shao Xi said he knew?

The two of them sat in front of the window of the restaurant, drinking while waiting for the person Shao Xi said to appear, and the waiting time was not short, from late afternoon to dusk.

In this waiting process, Shao Xi's face was always calm, and he couldn't see the slightest wave in his heart, taking a sip of the wine in the glass with his glass, and looking at the pedestrians and vendors coming and going on the street outside the window, he didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, as if he was very sure that person would definitely appear today.

But Long Qitai couldn't bear it anymore, and the waiting time was really a bit long! Although he is not an impatient person, he sits here and waits for a long time, and it is estimated that ordinary people are starting to get impatient.

He looked at Shao Xi in front of him with a look of not being arrogant or impatient, and he had to wait patiently with him like this.

The eastern part of the city is not the same as the bustling area in the center of Daliang City, where all the shops close after dark, because there are not many people in the area who go out to shop at night.

This is not like the places they used to go to, shops, restaurants, teahouses, art workshops, etc., are all open all night.

So he pondered that if that person didn't come when it got dark, Shao Xi would naturally give up, maybe there would be a chance to come back another day.

Long Qitai was thinking like this, but suddenly found that Shao Xi narrowed his eyes and stared closely at a slowly approaching carriage in the distance of the street, and even the expression on his face became focused at this moment.

He knew that the person they had been waiting for might be about to appear, so he also followed Shao Xi's gaze to the carriage.

It was an ordinary carriage, just like the carriage used by the ordinary wealthy to get around, and there was nothing special about it.

The carriage slowly came to a stop in front of the Xinjing Tea House, and the coachman jumped down from the carriage and placed the stool in front of the carriage door, opened the door and respectfully helped the people in the carriage down from the carriage.

I saw that the person who got out of the car was dressed very low-key, just a cyan robe with a slightly more delicate fabric, a little thin, a fair complexion, and a sharp chin, looking like he was over the age of six, but there was no beard on his face, which looked white and clean, and it looked more or less awkward.

In modern society, no matter how old you are, it is commonplace to have a clean beard on your face.

But you must know that under the background of the Jingyuan Dynasty, it is a very strange thing for a man of this age to have no beard in the eyes of everyone.

A man without a beard would look very eye-catching when he appeared on the street, so this person was recognized by Shao Xi at a glance as soon as he got off the carriage.

It's none other than Gao Cai! I saw that Gao Cai also looked left and right after getting out of the car, and then turned around and entered the Xinjing Teahouse.

At this time, although Shao Xi was full of doubts in his heart, he seemed to have found some kind of uncertain answer, and the expression on his face unconsciously seemed a little complicated, and he looked at Long Qitai on the side a little inexplicable.

Originally, he thought that Shao Xi would either be a little surprised or very calm after seeing this person, after all, Shao Xi said that he knew this person, so when he saw a person he knew, it should be the above two expressions, but why did the expression on his face look so complicated at this time?

It seemed to be expected, and it seemed to be slightly surprised, but more often than not, it seemed to be confused, did it make him strange that this person was here?

Of course, Long Qitai didn't know what Shao Xi was thinking at the moment, and Shao Xi's heart was indeed very confused at this moment, because he found that the things he had always thought were very clear were now beginning to become confusing.

Gao Cai's arrival can basically be determined to be related to Xiao Liuzi, but why is it related to Xiao Liuzi?

Is Gao Cai's identity really not as simple as he imagined? Is he Xiao Changyi's father-in-law or Xiao Yuzhi's minions?

Or is there any other identity? Could it be that he is really working for several forces at the same time? If this is really the case, does Xiao Changyi know about it?
