Chapter 36: Replacing the Hidden Treasure of the Xuanhua Valley

Out of the inn, Liu Chuan went straight to the dilapidated small courtyard in the depths of the alley, after delaying for so long, it was already the beginning of the hour, and if it was delayed any longer, it would be dawn, and the young man surnamed Li should also come!

The alleys are pitch black, and there are not many families living here, most of them are the back doors of some courtyards, which are locked on weekdays, and the desolate scenery can be seen at a glance in the few courtyards with open doors.

According to the young man with the scar, he came to the last small door, and there were white couplets washed by the wind and rain on the door, but fortunately, there was no lock from the door, but it seemed to be a sign of human habitation.

Liu Chuan secretly tied the dagger to his leg and deliberately exposed the scimitar, and then stepped forward and knocked on the courtyard door.

"Knock knock~"

The clear sound was extremely noisy in the silent night, alarming the stars and moon in the sky.

To Liu Chuan's surprise, he didn't knock on the door for too long, and a voice from Sang Lao came from the courtyard, with some doubt and eagerness.

"It's coming, it's coming!"

Yanagawa stopped, took a step back, and subconsciously put his hand on his waist, ready to deal with emergencies at any time.

Soon, the door was opened, revealing an elderly face, full of wrinkles, full of vicissitudes, lined with moonlight, clearly falling into Yanagawa's eyes.

didn't feel the slightest threat from the old man in front of him, and Liu Chuan silently put down his hand.

The old man also seemed to see Liu Chuan's appearance vaguely, just this tattered appearance made him stunned, and a look of doubt flashed in his cloudy eyes, but when he saw the scimitar in Liu Chuan's arms, he still didn't ask much, and subconsciously looked around to confirm that there was no one else, so he greeted softly.

"Come in!"

Yanagawa nodded and stepped into the courtyard.

The courtyard is not big, but it is clean, a small wooden table is placed in the middle of the courtyard, and next to it lies a rattan woven Taishi chair.

The old man casually closed the courtyard door, turned around, and looked the young beggar in front of him up and down.

Liu Chuan didn't say much, and when he noticed the old man's gaze, he took out the jade pendant from his arms and threw it to the old man.

Slightly flustered, he took it, and the old man carefully confirmed it, and then handed it back respectfully.

"My lord, I wonder if you came so late, do you have any urgent matters that need to be conveyed by the villain?"

"Can't you come if you have nothing to do?"

Liu Chuan asked in a deep voice, and the old man's body was suddenly shaken, and he knelt down with a "plop".

"The adult is angry, it's the villain who deserves to die, and he didn't speak well and bumped into the adult!"

Liu Chuan waved his hand impatiently, "That's it, you get up, I have something to ask you!" ”

"Your Excellency, please speak!"

The old man stood up and stood respectfully aside.

"I just joined recently, and I was transferred here, and I don't know much about this communication, so tell me how you get the word out every time it gets to you?"

Hearing this, the old man was startled, and subconsciously raised his head to look at Liu Chuan, a blank look flashed in his eyes, and he seemed to have doubts.

But Yanagawa, who saw this clearly, suddenly showed displeasure.

"Huh? How? What's wrong with you? I can tell you, the valley lord has a big deal to do recently, and he is extremely strict about the communication situation in this base, so he sent a special person to strictly inspect it, if there is any mistake, you and I can't escape it, understand! ”

"No, no, no! The villain understands, the villain understands! ”

As if he had heard what Yanagawa said, the old man hurriedly put away his doubts, but he was still a little timid, and his eyes once again stayed on the scimitar on Yanagawa's waist, and only after a moment did he say slowly.

"Adults don't know, whenever there is news on weekdays, it is nothing more than letters and interviews, some unimportant things are generally told by people in person, some confidential things are mostly sent by letters, and extremely secret things are brought by special people, the villain only needs to follow the requirements attached to the news, the letter is handed over to other scouts, or the words are recorded, submitted to other places in writing, when there is no special request, it is passed like this!"

"The villain has been here for nearly twenty years, and he has been conscientious, but he has never been out of the pool, and the valley lord has personally praised the villain, although the adults can rest assured!"

The old man arched his hand with a smile, with some smugness on his face, but under this smile, there was a little helplessness and sentimentality in his eyes.

Such a change has not escaped Liu Chuan's eyes, but he is not interested in this, thinking that an old man who has no power to fall into the life of a demon sect like the Three Evil Valleys is probably what kind of hardship, but such a person in the rivers and lakes was once a minority, even if he is sympathetic, he can't sympathize, not to mention that he doesn't need the sympathy of others at the moment!

Therefore, Liu Chuan only nodded, and then got straight to the point,

"Okay, then let me ask you, can someone from the direction of Shuangyang Town come to collect information recently?"

"Nope! The people of Shuangyang Town have never been trusted here, and they have always been passed on by flying pigeons! ”

Liu Chuan nodded, so good!

"Okay, then you write it now, I have a message to pass on to Shuangyang Town!"

The old man was stunned, but after a moment he answered.

"Wait a minute, the villain will go to get the letter!"

"Good!"

The old man immediately turned and went into the house, and in a short time came out with a wad of letter paper and envelopes, and carried a cage with carrier pigeons.

Putting things on the table, the old man put himself in a posture, and then rushed to Yanagawa Road.

"Your Excellency, you're ready!"

"Okay, you can just tell it in your voice, and I won't say it on your behalf."

"Okay, just say it, and leave the rest to the villain!"

"Good!"

Liu Chuan didn't talk much nonsense, and said directly.

"Recently, all the people and horses sent by several valley owners to chase and kill the girl surnamed Su were killed, and the only young man with a scar on his face came to report with his injuries, saying that when he was about to succeed, the girl surnamed Su was rescued by a group of black-clothed masked people, looking southwest, and his people wanted to chase and kill but were ambushed, and they were killed and injured! I wanted to save this young man, but his injuries were too serious, and I knew that this matter was urgent, so I hurried to report it! ”

Liu Chuan said that the old man changed his tone to narrate, although he had developed a habit of not thinking too much about such confidential matters, but now that he had listened to it more or less, he could not help but be puzzled.

Just without waiting for him to think too much, Liu Chuan turned around and asked.

"How? Is it written? ”

Hearing the urging, the old man didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly wrote and put away the pen, and nodded at Liu Chuan.

"Okay, pass it on quickly, this matter is urgent, if you can't inform a few valley masters in time, I'm afraid there will be a major change!"

As soon as he heard that such an important matter was important, the old man was shocked, where did he dare to delay, and immediately rolled the letter into a tube in a unique way, tied it to the leg of the carrier pigeon, and then took the carrier pigeon out of the cage, touched the bright head affectionately, and released it directly.

After doing this, the old man turned around again and asked.

"My lord, you have done what you have to do, but do you have any other orders?"

However, hearing his words, Liu Chuan's eyes flashed with fierceness, and while he spoke indifferently, the scimitar in his hand was also swept out.

"Now that it's done, you don't need to keep it!"
