The first volume, Origin Chapter 091, found the clues to be traced
After the matter here was dealt with, Le Qiu had no intention of staying behind because of the death of the senior brother, so he quickly returned to the Wanjian Villa and told the master about the senior brother.
And after noon that day, Yanyunan and they were also ready to leave, but Li Chengfeng still needed to recuperate, so he was not at ease when he was left behind, and it was too delaying to send him back.
It has been a few days since the rabbit demon started, and if it continues like this, I am afraid that Zhong Tuo has not found it yet, and the mysterious man has already completed his plan to release the ancient Jiuli.
There was no choice but to keep Li Chengfeng by his side, and when he arrived in the Khitan Kingdom, he found a better inn for him to recuperate.
The merchant who asked them to eradicate the wild boar king saw that Li Chengfeng and An Yi were injured one after another, and he gave another two hundred taels of silver as a salary.
This can make Li Chengfeng happy, for Li Chengfeng, this time the injury is worth it!
Of course, the money from these private jobs is not interested in anyone except Li Chengfeng.
In order to thank Li Chengfeng, the villagers brought safety to the village chief and sent them a lot of food and drink.
The village chief said to them: "If you walk northeast for two more days, you will reach the Khitan country, and you will have enough food and drink for these two days." ”
After Yanyunan met with the village chief on behalf of everyone, he re-embarked on the road to find the whereabouts of the mysterious person.
Li Chengfeng lay in the carriage all the way and smiled with a smile on his face, he had never seen so much money in his life, and he fantasized about redecorating the restaurant and so on.
But suddenly thinking of Lin Qingyu, he said in his heart, "Now that I have money, I don't know where the senior sister is, whether she is doing well or not, this money can't be moved, I want to keep it, when I find the senior sister, I am taking it out, buying her beautiful clothes, building a big house, and buying her all the delicacies in Chang'an!"
An Yi, who was also sitting in the carriage due to injury, became sad when he saw Li Chengfeng smiling and smiling, so he asked, "What's the matter? Now it's a burden to find out that there is a lot of silver?"
Li Chengfeng didn't speak at first.
And An Yi said: "The poor who have no silver always think of having endless silver, and those who have more silver prevent others from stealing their silver every day, whether they have silver or no silver, they can live their lives, and they will also have troubles." ”
Li Chengfeng said in a low voice: "Thank you for helping me do all this." ”
An Yi looked at Li Chengfeng's serious face, and felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart, in the past, selling news and helping people assassinate people were all done with silver, and he had never seen anyone say thank him so seriously.
Then he smiled with an anxin: "Don't be so serious, I'm a little unaccustomed, can you restore your previous state." ”
Then Li Chengfeng also laughed, and teased: "You said that you are also a strange person, usually the costume of the Misty Pavilion, there is a layer on the left layer covering your face, now that you have changed your makeup, why do you wear a mask again, could it be that you are an ugly monster who is unsightly?"
An Yi said: "No, what we do is a murderous business, in order not to be revenged, the Misty Pavilion can't see people with their true faces at any time, if the other party sees my appearance, they can hunt me down, if they can't see them, even if they see me, they don't dare to kill, because they are not sure, if the killing is wrong, the Misty Pavilion will be guilty, and no household will dare to bear it." ”
Li Chengfeng suddenly became indifferent and said, "How did you know about me and Senior Sister Tianmen Mountain? Tianmen Mountain has not made public the matter of Senior Sister being expelled from the Division, how do you know about the matter between us?"
An Yi suddenly didn't know what to say.
Li Chengfeng continued to ask, "Do you know where Senior Sister is?"
An Yi sighed and said, "Since you asked here, then I'll tell you, but you have to keep it secret." ”
Li Chengfeng looked at An Yi with expectant eyes, hoping to get the whereabouts of the senior sister from his mouth.
An Yi said: "There are two kinds of disciples in the Misty Pavilion, one is that we can't show our true faces, and we carry out assassination missions while probing for information, and the other is scattered in the world, and all sects have our disciples, including Tianmen Mountain, and their task is to transmit what they know to the Misty Pavilion, no matter how big or small. ”
Li Chengfeng didn't feel that the Misty Pavilion was so powerful that he even had eyeliner on Tianmen Mountain, but he was disappointed that he didn't hear Lin Qingyu's news.
The road was peaceful, and finally arrived in the Khitan country, along the way, there was a grassland, and most of the residents here made horse-drawn carriages and tents their homes.
Although there were many foreign enemies in the Tang Dynasty at this time, the Khitan State did not dare to show its true face, because they still had to trade with the Tang Dynasty to make a living.
Nomadic relations, so there are no houses, even the rulers live in tents.
As we went deeper, the tents became more and more concentrated, and many carcasses of cattle and sheep appeared on the road, all of which had been eaten by other wild beasts.
An Yi said: "It's strange, I can't see what these cattle and sheep have been eaten by at all." ”
After two days of recuperation, Li Chengfeng's body was able to move, he sat in the carriage and looked at the outside environment, and said: "You are still in the mood to care about these beasts, such a big grassland, isn't it even more difficult to find a Zhongtuo!"
At this moment, Li Chengfeng and their food were also finished, so they stopped in front of a tent and wanted to buy something to eat.
But there is no money here, so there is no way to give someone a horse.
The Khitans who received the horses were very enthusiastic and took a few people into the tent together.
There is a lot of space in the tent, and there is a cushion made of animal skin in the middle, and several people sit on it, but the language is different, and many times they just can't understand it.
Fortunately, Murong Bai likes to read a lot of books and knows some Khitan language, so he can barely communicate.
The hostess started the pot to stew meat, and the man said a lot, and then heard Murong Bai explain: "He said, although we are wearing Khitan clothes, but as soon as we hear the words, we are not Khitans, and the Khitan are eyeing the Tang Dynasty and are very unfriendly, but they also need to trade with the Tang Dynasty to strengthen themselves, so if they go further away is where their leader lives, their leader doesn't like the Tang people, and said that if it weren't for this clothes, we wouldn't be able to walk here, because they think that the Tang people are all good things, and they will rob them when they see them." ”
Later, Li Chengfeng also learned that the silver was not circulating here, so Li Chengfeng said in his heart, "No wonder those Khitan merchants are so arrogant, they gave three hundred taels at once, and it was useless for them to bring it back after making trouble for a long time!"
So he asked An Yi and said, "You said that they don't have silver in circulation here, why do they need so much silver?"
An Yi explained: "Half of them will take the beef and mutton, as well as their skins, to return the things of the Tang Dynasty, and then use the things they get from the Tang Dynasty to return to their residents, of course, there is a price difference in the middle, you should understand this truth if you have a restaurant, as for the convenience of them when doing business in the Tang Dynasty, they will also collect some silver for backup." ”
Then An Yi said to Murong Bai: "You ask them, what caused the dead sheep and dead cattle on the road?"
After hearing this, Li Chengfeng said, "Why don't you let him ask where that Zhongtuo is?!"
Murong Bai smiled, and then asked An Yi's question.
After some conversation between them, Murong Bai said: "They don't know very well, there have been many fierce monsters in recent times, and they come to eat the herdsmen's cattle and sheep at night, and the leader has also gone to check, but the people sent out are all dead, and the way of death is the same as these sheep." ”
Li Chengfeng looked at An Yi's thoughts, and said, "If so much nosy continues, when will we be able to complete the task?"
An Yi ignored Li Chengfeng, but continued to ask Murong Bai if this kind of thing had happened before.
Murong Bai said a bunch of things to the man that they didn't understand.
Then he said to An Yi: "No." ”
An Yi looked at Li Chengfeng and said: "It didn't happen before, but now it happened, Zhong Tuo used to be in the Jiuli Yangyi tribe, and then I heard the rabbit demon say that he hid here, and then this happened, do you think this matter has anything to do with Zhong Tuo?"
Li Chengfeng suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "It seems that I was stupid by the Wild Boar King, why didn't I think of this." ”
Chatting and chatting, a large pot of hot mutton was brought up, and Li Chengfeng, who was watching, drooled.
An Yi said: "Everyone, eat quickly, let's go and meet their leader when we are full, maybe we can follow this dead cow and sheep to find Zhongtuo, maybe we can find the root of the black water, cut it off, and don't let the black water harm people again!"
