In the backyard of the town inn, in the dim light of the fire, Mr. Lin opened the oilcloth on the outer layer of the carriage, revealing the overlapping packages inside, and reached out from the bottom to take out the two largest ones and put them on the ground.

"It's all here, a total of sixty catties of salt and forty catties of tea. ”

Under the firelight, Mr. Lin's face turned a little red. Although he has been on the rivers and lakes for decades, he has long been sleek, but this is indeed the first time that he has carried illicit salt tea in the dart, and this is undoubtedly a long way from being sleek. He's always been a little dart head.

"Well, even if you ask for a safe one, it will be worth at least more than a thousand taels of silver if you only sell it from the second-tier dealers. No wonder Mr. Lin would rather take a shortcut into Jizhou, these things can't be hidden from the anti-smuggling officers and soldiers on the waterway. Looking at the package on the ground, Xiao Xia nodded. Even if he hadn't done this kind of smuggling of smuggled goods, he had heard of the price of the road and the like, and he could see the price of these two packs of things at a glance.

"Dad, how can you really do such a thing? If you are discovered, won't the dart game be over?" Lin Xiaoyan on the side turned pale, and even her voice trembled a little.

"Do you really know how important it is to be a father, and are you willing to do these things? But if you don't expect to sell these tea and salt by the way, how long can the dart game last? Over the years, it has become more and more difficult to walk darts, and business has become less and less, and you also know. Even the salary has been in arrears to Wang Qiang and Zhang Si, and they have been staying in the dart game because of everyone's love for many years. But what is the way to do it in the long run? If something goes wrong, you will have to pay them the settling-in fee."

Mr. Lin's voice was full of bitterness and old age. The gray hair on his head and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were so noticeable in the light of the fire that the expression of the chief dart head was no different from that of an old farmer who had failed in a bad year. It's not an easy task to eat on the rivers and lakes. Xian Yi angrily spends a lot of money, and he is happy to cut off his head and drink, after all, those are just a very small number of the few, or simply just the simple conjecture of the teenagers. Reality is always far worse than imagination.

"Now Lin can only ask Daoist Xia for help. Xia Dao is long and virtuous, and Lin and Youde are unforgettable. Mr. Lin clenched his fists and bowed deeply to Xiao Xia.

"Mr. Lin doesn't have to pay too much attention to it, I also expect Mr. Lin to sell these safely. Pay me the money from the talisman. Xiao Xia smiled and shook her head. Of course, he didn't care too much about the hundreds of taels of silver, but speaking naturally could also make the father and daughter more at ease.

I found an inconspicuous place near the wall. Xiao Xia took out a sand-splitting fossil talisman from the talisman bag and pressed it on the ground, and the fire flashed, and the talisman immediately turned into ashes. Then he lifted the two large bags of tea and salt and placed them there, and the tea and salt slowly sank to the ground like quicksand and swamps. Later, the ground returned to its original state, only slightly raised, and even the innkeepers who walked by here every day probably couldn't see anything unusual.

"As long as you go and deliver the dart goods first, make sure that no one pays attention to you after this serious matter, and then contact the buyer in White Rock City, turn back and quietly take it out and sell it. After all, I have long since retired from the Liuzi Battalion, and those officers and soldiers may not be able to scare them if they want to be serious. Natsu stood up and clapped her hands and glanced at the package under the tarpaulin. After thinking about it, he still asked Mr. Lin: "The matter has come to this, just forgive me for asking more, and I hope that Lin Darthead will not be surprised." Is there anything strange about your escorts?"

Mr. Lin didn't seem to be too surprised by his question. He sighed, stepped forward, and brought out several more packages and a large wooden box from the carriage. opened it in front of Xiao Xia, and then took out a slip from his underwear and handed it to Xiao Xia and said, "There are many twists and turns along the way, and I know that Daoist Xia must have doubts in his heart." In fact, I am the same, but it is useless for me to say it, so please ask Xia Daochang to take a look for himself. ”

"Dad!" Mr. Lin's actions made Lin Xiaoyan also scream.

Xiao Xia was a little surprised. According to the rules, even ordinary dart masters in the dart game can never check the dart goods and handover orders. It seems that this Mr. Lin also sensed that there was something strange in it, and now he regarded him as the only reliable support. Thinking about it, the more than 100 catties of salt tea that are related to the survival of the dart bureau can only turn to him for help, and there is nothing to protect in other details.

Since everyone else has done this, Xiao Xia is not hypocritical, and takes the manifest and looks at it.

There is nothing strange about the manifest and the goods. It's just a few bags of pearls, two corals, a dozen or so Suzhou cloud brocade, some quite valuable medicinal materials and several kinds of gem ore that are rare in the north. Xiao Xia also checked them one by one, his eyesight was not bad, and he could see that there was really nothing wrong with these darts themselves, and they were exactly the same as what was written on the receipt, so there was nothing strange about it.

But there's nothing strange about that, and that in itself it's strange enough. These things themselves are worth about 10,000 taels of silver, and they can indeed barely be regarded as a red goods. But it was never enough to attract so many horse thieves to intercept them along the way, and even those officers and soldiers seemed to have other thoughts about this dart.

"The goods are really fine. Could it be that something is wrong with the owner's side? At least the news did leak out. ”

"We are naturally not good at investigating the identity of the owner of the goods, I heard that it is a businessman from Yangzhou, but it should be no problem to have the owner of our county, Bo Zuobao, and the accent of the speech is indeed the taste of Yangzhou. As for the leakage of this news, it is inevitable for red goods, but this time it is indeed a bit outrageous."

"By the way, the owner seems to be a little weird. Lin Xiaoyan on the side suddenly spoke at this time. Seeing Xiao Xia and Mr. Lin's eyes, he was a little flustered, and said hesitantly: "I, I smell that there seems to be a strange smell on him." ”

It was late at night.

The dart goods have been re-wrapped, and the other three dart masters and Mr. Lin Dart Head have been carried into the room together, and they will keep vigil all night. Others have long since rested. I slept in the open for more than ten days, and I was worried all the way. These charlatans were both injured and tired, and finally they could sleep peacefully in the town, and many of them had almost just sat on the edge of the bed, and before they could lie down, the snoring sounded in their mouths.

Although Xiao Xia was still tired, it was much better than those dart masters, at least he was not so nervous, and he even learned to sleep on a horse and stand up when he was in the Liuzi Camp. So he slept soundly when it was time to sleep along the way. He was still pondering this strange dart that didn't seem to be anything strange.

Of course, the previous negotiations with Mr. Lin's father and daughter did not come to any conclusion. Maybe Lin Xiaoyan, as a girl, can have a keen intuition about something wrong, but the smell on her body really doesn't mean anything. There are many people who have a bad smell on their bodies, maybe it's body odor. Maybe it's because I like to eat some weird food, maybe it's because I haven't taken a bath for a long time, for example, Xiao Xia herself often smells. There's really nothing surprising about that.

But there must be something strange about this trip. And not just the horse thieves and the officers and soldiers. Natsu herself has an instinct. Although he is not a woman, his instincts are just as accurate.

If you don't understand, you should talk to someone about it. But what if you still don't understand after discussing it with someone?

Of course, let's discuss it with another person.

So Xiao Xia didn't go back to the room to sleep, but came to the door of a room on the second floor of the inn, he didn't knock on the door, just pushed the door and walked in.

"I almost fell asleep. The young swordsman sitting in front of the bed was not at all surprised, as if he had known that he would come, and the oil lamp on the table was lit, reflecting his bloodshot eyes.

"Oh, you know I'm coming?" asked Natsu with a smile.

"Instinct it. Don chuckled and smiled. Even with such tiredness and haggardness, the smile was as bright as a touch of light on a blade.

"Hmm. I didn't have a chance to talk to you along the way, and I just happened to have some things I couldn't figure out. So this comes to you while everyone else is asleep and asks you what you think. Xiao Xia thought for a moment and asked, "What do you think is strange about this dart?"

"So you're wondering about this?" Tang chuckled, slightly stunned, and then smiled. "Labor still has to work. It's been a hard work for you along the way. ”

"I've always been a very curious person. Natsu shrugged. "But aren't you surprised that this dart will attract so many horse thieves?"

"Of course it's weird. Along the way, I killed ninety-six horse thieves. Tang chuckled and looked at the flames on the oil lamp on the table, and the bloodshot in those phoenix eyes seemed to be thicker. "I never thought I'd kill so many people. A few years ago, I threw up two days after killing those four robbers. I didn't expect to kill them so far, I think those horse thieves are no different from the stakes that were sent. But at night I still couldn't sleep well, and when I closed my eyes, it was all blood and dead people. ”

"On the rivers and lakes, that's it. Xiao Xia sighed. It really doesn't feel good to kill, and the first time he killed someone, it wasn't much better. Of course, there are also some heroes who are brave by nature or feel sluggish who don't have to pass this level, and even find it exciting. But that kind of person, Xiao Xia thinks it's either stupid or crazy.

Xiao Xia thought about it for a while, and said according to his own experience: "You must know that they are actually ready to kill at any time or be killed at any time, and their hearts will be much better." And if one more of those horse thieves dies, there will be no more deaths elsewhere. ”

"Is that so" Don chuckled and closed his eyes, was silent for a moment, then let out a long breath, opened his eyes and smiled. "It does seem to be a little better. ”

"Did you notice anything strange about this dart?"

"Weird" Don chuckled and thought for a moment, shaking his head. "Nope. I don't dart too much. There are also darts, and the delivery of these things has always been handled by Mr. Lin and Xiaoyan, I don't know. ”

"Is that so?" Xiao Xia touched his head, it seems that there is nothing to discuss here. "Well, but fortunately, there shouldn't be any more horse thieves. In three or four days, you can get to White Rock City, and once the darts are handed over, it doesn't matter if there are any weirdness."

Tang chuckled and was suddenly slightly stunned at this time, and then raised his hand and raised his fingers.

Xiao Xia was slightly startled when she saw it, and immediately shut up, slowly moved to the wall, and held her breath. It wasn't long before he heard a slight footstep approaching here.

This step was deliberately very light and slow, if it weren't for the fact that it was now quiet in the inn, Xiao Xia would hardly be able to hear it. He reached for the talisman on his waist and glanced at Tang with a chuckle, only to see Tang chuckle and make a reassuring gesture to him.

"Ah, haven't you slept yet?" a female voice sounded softly outside the door. It was Lin Xiaoyan's voice.

"Is it Xiaoyan? I haven't slept yet. What's the matter, what's the matter with you?" Tang chuckled as he replied as he spread his hands to Xiao Xia, the expression on his face slightly embarrassed.

Xiao Xia was also slightly embarrassed. The rest of the game didn't know about his relationship with Don Xiaoxiao, and they hadn't even spoken much along the way, so it was hard to explain why he was here in the middle of the night.

At this time, the use of invisibility charms will also be somewhat loud. Xiao Xia turned his head to look, and there seemed to be no place to hide in this inn room, except for the bottom of the bed.

"Laugh. Can I come in? I've got something to look for you. Outside, Lin Xiaoyan was asking.

"Ah, you wait for me to get dressed. Tang chuckled and exchanged glances with Xiao Xia. Xiao Xia sighed secretly and got down lightly to the bottom of the bed. Then Don chuckled and walked over to open the door.

"Laugh. I can't sleep. I'm scared. The door opened, and Lin Xiaoyan walked in. The voice was soft, soft, as thin as a mosquito's chirping. "Can you sleep with me?"

"Huh?" said Don, who chuckled, was completely stunned. The look on his face could be heard.

Xiao Xia under the bed couldn't help but sigh again. Six years ago, he was hiding under the bed and listening to Don chuckle on it as a bride. Now, after six years, are you going to listen to him be the bridegroom......?
