Chapter 12: The Inn

The commander came quickly, took the official road, changed the fast horse, and traveled day and night, and even set foot in the boundary of Youzhou in less than half a month, and began to wake up the first chess piece he had arranged on the side of Youzhou.

Then he did not stay, but continued to march towards the interior of Youzhou, preparing to stay in Youzhou to personally lead the overall situation, and at the same time wake up the other two people.

Of course, since Youzhou is the territory of the north of the town, it is natural that it cannot be as wanton as the road ahead. I can only take small roads and hide my whereabouts, so the speed is much slower. Even if there is a top-notch horse like Heilin Pony to ride, it is only an 800-mile journey to travel day and night.

On the other hand, Bai Li's side is also on the day of departure. Since the murder itself needs to be done in secret, after all, Manichaeans are not easy to mess with. No, it should be said that the people of the three major cults are not easy to mess with, and they are the ones who dare to bring thunder and fire bombs to die with you. Therefore, Bai Li also did not take the main road, so that the distance that he could reach in two days was more than four days.

In this way, under various coincidences, Bai Li and the commander of the Gong Wei Division arrived at the same time in the town outside Changping City, that is, near the town where the Manichaean altar master hid in Yanyun Tower.

Snow, goose feather-like snow falling suddenly, covered this small town in the northland with a layer of silver, and also brought a lot of business to Yanyunlou, the only inn in the town.

"Big brother," in the inn, the corner was faintly guarded by more than a dozen sturdy men who were eating silently at a table in the middle, and a person with a scar on his face took advantage of Xiao Er's efforts when he opened the door to the guests outside the door, glanced at the heavy snow outside the door, and couldn't help sighing: "It seems that I can't leave today." ”

"There's no way around it," the long-bearded man known as the eldest brother nodded expressionlessly, looked around quietly before whispering: "Let the brothers be smart at night, they will be in the place soon, don't go wrong at this time." ”

"Don't worry, big brother," a thick-eyed man on the other side also whispered, "It's not the first time that the brothers have gone dart, and there will be no problems." ”

"I hope so," the eldest brother took a sip of warm wine and muttered worriedly, "I hope I think too much." ”

It's no wonder that this big brother will be full of worries, but the value of the darts escorted this time is really too high, if something really goes wrong, even if they sell their darts game, they can't afford to lose, so naturally they hope to be able to deliver it sooner.

However, just as they were about to reach their destination, a heavy snowfall suddenly fell and trapped them all in this remote town, so it was no wonder that he was upset.

Not to mention this group of dart masters, they are carefully observing their surroundings to prevent accidents that may occur at any time. On the other side, Bai Li and his entourage Bai Si finally arrived in front of the only inn in the town. After calling the door closed due to the wind and snow, and at the same time handed over the carriage to the shopkeeper who came to greet the customer, he walked inside with Bai Si.

"Two guest officers, do you want to stay in the hotel?" may be due to the heavy snow blocking the road, so the business is too good, and Xiao Er has something to be busy with for the time being, so the shopkeeper can only come to entertain Bai Li and the two in person.

This couldn't help but make Bai Li sigh, sighing that this Manichaean altar master was really a superb actor. If you didn't know his roots, no one would have thought that the shopkeeper in front of him, who was smiling with a smile on his face and smelling of copper, was actually an altar master of the cult.

"Well," Bai Siying said: "Prepare two upper rooms, and our son-in-law will live there." ”

"This ...... This guest officer is really sorry, the small shop has a limited number of rooms, and now there is only one room left, and the others have been given by other guests," the shopkeeper couldn't help but squeeze his smile when he heard this, and then smiled: "Or ...... Which of you two is wronged, how about living in a side room alone?"

"What?" Bai Si couldn't help but think of having a seizure when he heard this, but thinking of what Bai Li had explained before, he quietly glanced at Bai Li, who didn't take off the hood of his snow-white cloak even when he entered the inn, and then reluctantly said: "That's it, go and prepare." ”

After the shopkeeper answered, he directly summoned a junior who had just had leisure time and asked him to take Bai Li and the two to the registered room.

And just as Bai Li and the others were following the shopkeeper to the stairs on the second floor, the door was knocked on again, and several figures walked into the inn with the wind and snow, and these were precisely because of the wind and snow, and they could only choose to stay in the only inn in this town for one night, the commander of the Gong Guard Division and his personal men.

It's him?

Looking back, taking in the figure of the conductor with frost on his sideburns and full of wind and dust, Bai Li couldn't help but squint in his eyes, and instantly recognized his identity.

Hua Zifeng, this time period should be in command.

Under the command of the Gong Wei Division, he is known for his ruthlessness, bloody and cruelty, even if he is a ruthless Gong Wei Si, he can be regarded as a ruthless character. And it is precisely because of this that he is deeply respected by his master and the emperor of the Great Zhou. Soon after, he was directly promoted to the Tongzhi of the Gong Wei Division, ranking among the three ranks of the DPRK!

Such a person took people to haunt Youzhou without taking the official road during this time period, and seeing that they were still dressed in small clothes, then Bai Li was qualified to suspect that their arrival was likely to involve a series of major events that would happen in the north next.

Bai Li took the commander in his eyes, that is, Hua Zifeng and the others, and Hua Zifeng and the others were not like this. After all, as a secret agency used by the imperial court to monitor the world, intelligence collection and news aggregation itself are instinctive reactions engraved in their bones.

However, unlike Bai Li, who was able to recognize his identity at a glance, he didn't know anything about Bai Li's identity, although he was also vigilant, but it was not deep. After all, this town was a temporary idea for him, and compared to the two Bai Li, who looked empty on their bodies, the group of dart masters with guys sitting in the corner and looking at them with vigilant eyes attracted their eyes even more.

"My lord, it's a person from the Four Seas Dart Bureau," Obviously, the dart head called the eldest brother was still a little famous, and he was recognized by Hua Zifeng's subordinates at a glance, and stepped forward to whisper next to Hua Zifeng.

"Well," Hua Zifeng nodded quietly and said, "The sea-covering sword Wei Wuxian, the stele opener Zhao San, and the iron-faced judge Liu Hui...... The good players of the four seas dart game have come out, it seems that ...... This time they're worth a lot of money. ”

"My lord, should we ......?" the subordinate probed.

Hua Zifeng coldly glanced at the subordinate who opened his mouth, and then said, "Don't do superfluous things. ”

If it was usual, Hua Zifeng wouldn't mind finding out, and if it was indeed something that could make him tempted, he wouldn't mind staging a black and black play. After all, as a secret agency that supervises the world, the little money allocated by the imperial court alone is definitely not enough. Therefore, getting a little advantage for oneself within the scope of power is also a tacit thing for the people above.

But now that Hua Zifeng has important things to do, he naturally doesn't want to cause any trouble.
