Chapter 159: A Chance Encounter

What Shen Yun never expected was that he would meet Master Qian in Shiping County. Didn't the latter leave the martial arts hall as early as the beginning of the year because the employment period had reached and he had no intention of renewing his employment?

Here's the thing.

On the second day after arriving in Shiping County, Shen Yun left the inn with a blanket on his back and went to the market and other crowded places. It seems that he is peddling bruising pills, but in fact, he is listening to people gossip to see if the news of Tian Baosheng's death has reached here. His plan was that if there was no news in a day or two, he would spread the news in the market himself.

There is a market near the inn. Shen Yun didn't come out very early, at this moment, the market was already full of people, and the morning market was lively.

After walking half a street, Shen Yun was very relieved: the people of Yuxi Town did not disappoint him. Tian Baosheng's case is spreading rapidly in the market like the wind, and it seems to have become the hottest topic today.

This way, he can concentrate on looking for bangs for the four of them.

Where to find someone?

When he was in Yuxi Town, Shen Yun inadvertently found out that there was a "garrison station" in Shiping County, which occupied nearly half of the area of Shiping County and was the place where the families of the immortal rune soldiers lived.

Shen Yun was ready to try his luck there.

However, it is said that the "cantonment station" is guarded by private soldiers.

The so-called private soldiers were spontaneously organized by the residents of the "cantonment bars". Its members are one veteran of the Immortal Fu who has withdrawn from the camp from each family.

When these people were in the barracks, most of them were veterans who ate and drank together, but when the private soldiers patrolled their homes, they were like a different person. The "cantonment station" was guarded by them like an iron bucket. Anyone with a new face can enter, but it is said that a few shouts can attract patrolling private soldiers.

After Shen Yun heard about it, he didn't feel that it was too exaggerated at all for the "garrison station" to be so well-guarded - how could the immortal rune soldiers go around doing evil and doing all kinds of things that hurt heaven and reason? If it weren't for such strict guards, would those veterans who had retired from the camp dare to close their eyes and sleep at night?

Shen Yun was at a tea stall and took out the location of the "Tun Bing Station" from the stall owner - Shiping County is not big, and the "Tu Bing Station" is just to the north, only one or two miles away from the inn where he stayed.

No matter how much it is, it can't be found. Because the stall owner obviously deeply dislikes the people who live in the "cantonment station", he doesn't want to say more.

Shen Yun drank the herbal tea from the clay porcelain bowl, paid a big price for the tea, pretended to continue selling pills along the street, and slowly turned out of the market and headed north.

Soon, he found the location of the "cantonment station". As the people of Yuxi Town have said, it does look like a large fortress - the blue brick parapet wall is tall and thick, no weaker than the city wall of Shiping County, and under the retaining wall, there is a large ditch that has been artificially dug out. Shen Yun visually measured that it was about three zhang wide. Above the ditch, there is an iron plate suspension bridge. At the other end of the drawbridge is a thick black fence gate. Together, they form the main route in and out of the "cantonment station".

Shen Yun wandered around the street here for nearly half an hour, and found that the suspension bridge had been erected on the big ditch and had never been hoisted. But the thick fence gate was always closed. Through the large ditch and the fence the thickness of the sea bowl, he saw at least four men guarding the door.

In addition to this, there is a tall sentry tower to the left of the door. Because all sides were covered with reed mats, Shen Yun couldn't tell how many people there were. However, with his eyes, he could see a row of fine holes in the reed mat, in which iron arrowheads were hidden.

As for the inside of the "garrison station", across the big ditch, Shen Yun could only see patches of black and oppressive roofs.

For most of the hour, more than a dozen people came out of it one after another, both men and women, most of them were neatly packed and dressed no worse than the wealthy people outside. There was even a middle-aged man riding a tall horse, gorgeously dressed, and with four retinues.

And only one person went in outside. It was five crop men carrying a load full of seasonal fresh melons and fruits. They must have given melons and fruits to them a lot. As they had just stepped onto the iron bridge, the small gate on the side of the thick fence gate opened, and out of it came a private soldier who shouted at them, "Why did you come today?"

The farmer who walked in front of him sped up at his feet, accompanied by a smiling face, and responded: "Don't worry, the third master is hot today, and the little ones drank a bowl of herbal tea on the road......"

The private soldier who was called the "third master" interrupted him unhappily: "Which kid are you cheating? Can you be more than half an hour late for a bowl of tea?"

As they spoke, the farmer had already crossed the iron plate bridge and came under the thick fence. Seeing that the third master stopped in front of the small door, the leader changed his shoulders and replied, "The third master doesn't know anything." When the little ones were drinking tea, they heard that there was a big case in Yuxi Town. They speak as vividly as if they had seen it with their own eyes. ”

"It turned out to be gossip. What kind of big case is it? Come in and tell me about it to the third master. If it doesn't sound good, be careful of your skin!"

When the five crop men entered the small door one by one, the third master made another "bang" and closed the small door.

About half an hour later, five farmer men came out one after the other. At this time, they were carrying empty burdens.

Shen Yun originally planned to follow and see if he could find a way to get out of this group of people and sneak into the "cantonment station" tomorrow. However, seeing them come out so quickly, I suddenly lost my thoughts. Because obviously, after these people went in, they didn't go far at all.

What the hell is good? Shen Yun thought about it and decided to stay here first before making plans.

There are two inns on this side of the street, one large and one small. The big one is called "Da Wufu Inn", which is facing the "Garrison Station", and the small one is called "Xinglong Inn", which is diagonally opposite to "Da Wufu Inn" across the street.

Shen Yun did not hesitate, and directly entered the "Dawufu Inn": "Shopkeeper, it's weirdly hot this day." I want a room that faces the street and is out of the sun. ”

Why a room that is protected from the sun? For he had seen it outside, the inn consisted of three two-story buildings, and only the windows that kept out the sun could see the other side.

No, the shopkeeper's face was embarrassed: "Unfortunately, that room has already been occupied by guests." If you're afraid of the heat, I'll ask the guys to bring you an ice basin after noon. It's close to the water, and at night, the wind blows on the surface of the water, and it's very cool. ”

Shen Yun was about to answer, when two tenants walked down from the wooden stairs side by side. He glanced at it and was immediately shocked - one of them turned out to be Master Qian!

He turned out to be dressed as a Taoist priest. And the same was true of the middle-aged man beside him.

Shen Yun had changed his clothes at this time, and his appearance had changed, whether it was his appearance, his voice or his body shape. Yes, Qian Shizun didn't recognize him, whispered with his companions, and left the inn.

"Well, those two Dao masters are the guests who live in that upper room. The shopkeeper said casually.

Shen Yun came back to his senses and said, "Then give me a room next door." It's only a few steps away, and it shouldn't be very hot. ”

Why is Master Qian here? And he has to dress up as a Taoist priest. It's so strange! Master used to say before his death that when something goes wrong, there is a demon, and he can't help but want to find out.
