Chapter 943: Step by step
Hearing Ouyang Feng's explanation, the person who came was surprised and said, "Wolves, why are there wolves nearby? Damn, it seems that there is something to do again, and I really can't be idle for a day." ”
Then, the man looked at Wei Canglan, looked at the clothes on his body that were almost torn into strips of cloth, and couldn't help laughing and said, "I said Kong Wu, you are really fateful, and your clothes have been caught like this, and you have escaped in a daze." Wei Canglan glanced at the man and snorted coldly.
Seeing this, Ouyang Feng hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Two brothers died, the horse and luggage were lost, we came here, we suffered a lot on the way, the boss is in a bad mood, don't take it to heart." After speaking, he secretly glared at Wei Canglan and reminded him to restrain his arrogance and lower his posture as much as possible.
Wei Canglan said in a slower tone as much as possible, "Can we go?" My cousin is still waiting for me. ”
The person who came shrugged his shoulders and said, "Whatever, anyway, if you love to come to this place, you can come and go, no one cares about you, who let you have a good cousin." After speaking, he pursed his lips, glanced at Wei Canglan with disdain, waved his hand, and left with the men behind him.
The horse team walked away, Wei Canglan let out a sigh of relief, and his body was uncontrollably crooked, if it weren't for Ouyang Feng's quick hand to help Wei Canglan, he would almost sit on the ground.
After taking a few breaths, Wei Canglan complained: "I'd rather challenge the god powerhouse, I won't do this kind of thing anymore, it's too exciting." ”
Nangong Tian wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "Yes, I almost couldn't help but shoot that guy just now." ”
Ouyang Feng also patted his heart and said, "Let's hold on a little longer, the front is here, as long as we can successfully blend in." ”
Walk on the dark trade road. Ouyang Feng repeatedly instructed Wei Canglan to restrain himself. Wei Canglan nodded reluctantly in agreement. It was decided that after this time, Ouyang Feng must be knocked hard, otherwise it will be too much of a loss.
Finally, Ouyang Feng and the three of them came to the vicinity of the canyon where the Yanhuo Mine was located, and there were more than a dozen bonfires near the watchtower, illuminating the vicinity.
The people on the sentry tower saw Ouyang Feng and the three of them from afar, but after seeing that the person who came was bearded, they put down the longbow in their hands, lay on the fence and waited for the three of them to approach before they smiled and said, "Kong Wu, why are you so embarrassed?"
Wei Canglan glanced up. In an extremely impatient tone, he said, "Less nonsense, what about my cousin? Is it in there? I'll go find him." As he spoke, he was about to walk into the canyon.
The sentry on the guard tower was stunned when he saw this, and then reminded: "Kong Wu, have you forgotten the rules here? Even if the steward is your cousin, you must get permission to enter, I think you should go to the cargo station and wait." ”
Wei Canglan's heart tightened, how did he know what rules were here, and hurriedly pretended to be anxious and said, "Don't talk nonsense, my cousin asked me to come, otherwise what am I doing here in the middle of the night?" No more blocked.
While speaking, Ouyang Feng and the three of them had already arrived at the gate of the canyon entrance. The guards guarding the gate obviously also knew the bearded man, and he didn't face each other with swords, but a guy who was obviously the leader came over to stop the three of them, and said to Wei Canglan in an unkind tone: "Kong Wu, rules are rules, you'd better not embarrass me, let's go to the cargo station and wait first, I will send someone to inform the steward, he wants to see you, I am asking someone to inform you." ”
As he spoke, he looked at the embarrassed three people, and said in a slightly softened tone: "It just so happens that you go over there to wash first, and then change your clothes, how can you say that you are also the cousin of the steward, how can you make the steward embarrassed by going in like this?" Wei Canglan secretly looked at Ouyang Feng, and when he saw Ouyang Feng nodding, he no longer insisted, and walked to the direction of the cargo station after saying thank you.
The captain of the guard watched Ouyang Feng and the three of them walk away, pursed his lips with disdain, and spat on the ground, his face full of contempt and contempt.
One of the guards walked up to the captain and asked softly, "Captain, do you want to inform the steward?"
The captain glanced at his subordinates and said with a wicked smile, "What?
The guard scratched his head embarrassedly, smiled and said, "Staying in this ghost place all day long, and you can't cultivate, isn't it idle to worry about it." ”
The captain of the guard waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, but don't worry, let that guy who doesn't have any skills and relies on connections wait a little longer." ”
The people here don't have a good impression of Kong Wu, and the guards are naturally no exception, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry, Captain, my legs and feet are not very good, and it will take a lot of time to get to the steward." The captain nodded appreciatively, waved his hand to send his men away, and spat at Ouyang Feng's distant back, shaking his arms and returning to the watchtower to rest.
Ouyang Feng complained in a low voice: "If you break the rules, you will have to report it as soon as the mine is broken." ”
Wei Canglan said with some concern: "What if the steward wants to see us? He and the bearded man are cousins, and they have a good relationship and are very familiar, I'm afraid that they will show their stuff." ”
Ouyang Feng frowned and thought for a while and said, "It's okay, anyway, the goods won't come out to greet you, let's just find an excuse to get out after we go in, if it doesn't work, we'll kidnap the steward." ”
Nangong Tian was stunned and said, "Kidnapping? There are so many people, there are only three of us, how can we kidnap them?"
Ouyang Feng said as a matter of course: "How else can you tie up, walk over, get closer, and then subdue and take hostages." ”
Nangong Tian said disdainfully: "You think too simply, right?"
Ouyang Feng shrugged: "Otherwise, do you have a better way?" Nangong Tian was speechless, if he had another way, he wouldn't have wronged himself so much.
Coming to the cargo station, that is, in front of the small cottage-like building, Ouyang Feng shouted loudly to the dozing guards on the fence: "Open the door, let us in, get us some food and hot water, and find a few sets of clean clothes." ”
The guard on the gatehouse opened his eyes, muttered a few words of dissatisfaction, and saw that the person below was a bearded man, and hurriedly flattered him: "It turned out to be Lord Kong Wu, wait a minute, I'll go open the door." After speaking, he ran down the gatehouse, and after a while, the huge wooden door was pushed open a gap, and Ouyang Feng and the three of them entered.
The guard closed the door, looked at the embarrassed Wei Canglan, and said with a concerned look in his clothes: "Master Kong Wu, what's the matter?
Ouyang Feng looked around and said to the guards, "Find us a better place." ”
The guard was stunned for a moment, then pointed in one direction and said, "Your room has been kept all along, and you won't go there today?"
Ouyang Feng scolded in his heart, he didn't ask about these things at the beginning, seeing the guard's puzzled eyes, Ouyang Feng hurriedly walked in front of the guard, lowered his voice and said, "Be quiet, didn't you say that a new caravan is coming, arrange us next to their residence, don't you ask anything else?"
The guard looked at Ouyang Feng blankly, then nodded vigorously in a sudden realization, and asked in a low voice: "Is there a problem with that caravan?" I'll just say, why haven't the stewards seen them for so long, don't worry, I'll take you over, they live in the south courtyard, and there are just a few empty rooms next to them." As he spoke, he said hello to the other companions, and led the way for Ouyang Feng and the three of them in front.
Wei Canglan let out a sigh of relief, they were frightened a lot just now, although there were not many guards on the wall, but they saw that those guards were equipped with bows and arrows and crossbows, if they were seen to be flawed just now, those guards could kill them with a salvo. Nangong Tian secretly gave Ouyang Feng a thumbs up, praising his quick thinking and quick response, otherwise the three of them would have to explain here if they couldn't even enter the mining area.
Following behind the guards and the expressionless hungry guard Canglan, Ouyang Feng and Nangong Tian secretly looked at the surrounding terrain to find a way out, although they were determined to win this time, but if they couldn't be violated, they wouldn't be stupid enough to fight to the death, so it was better to make sure that the way to retreat and escape to save their lives was the king.
Soon, the guard took the three of them to a small courtyard, and then ran to prepare food and hot water, Ouyang Feng and the three of them took a turn in the small courtyard, making sure that no one else existed, Wei Canglan then asked, "What should I do next?"
Ouyang Feng shook his head and said, "I don't know, let's take one step at a time, let's wait." ”
Soon, the guards brought food and hot water, and also brought a few sets of brand new clothes, although the texture of the clothes was not very good, but it was much stronger than the rags on Ouyang Feng's body.
The guard picked up the wine jug and filled Wei Canglan's wine glass, and said flatteringly: "Lord Kong Wu, see if you can help talk to the steward, and take me with you next time you deliver the goods, it's too stuffy here, except for eating and sleeping all day, I really can't stand it, I want to go out to breathe, by the way, by the way, see how my good looks are." ”
Wei Canglan glanced at the guard, rolled his eyes and said, "This is no problem, you guys are also hard enough." The guard was overjoyed when he heard this, and thought to himself that this guy was in a good mood today, and he had earned it.
Wei Canglan pondered for a moment and asked, "By the way, has anything happened recently? Why do I think the atmosphere is a little different?"
Wei Canglan agreed to help, and the guard was very happy, and replied without thinking about it: "My lord is really wise, that's right, there have been really big things in this recent period." ”
Wei Canglan, Ouyang Feng, and Nangong Tian asked in unison, "What's the big deal?"
The guard was stunned for a moment, not knowing what was wrong with these three people, but he didn't think much about answering and said: "You also know, I am a small guard at the cargo station, and I don't even have the qualifications to enter the mining area, and I don't know the specifics, but these days there have been a lot of big people coming one after another, which has never happened before, so I analyzed, something big must have happened in the mining area."
