Text Season 7: The Battle of the Capital _ "Phantom Spear (7)" Chapter 22: Missing
Last time, Jiang Feng and his party came to the nearest post station to the capital to rest, but Zhao Pingyuan, who had been waiting for them for a long time, had already gone upstairs in advance to observe their movements. ,:。 Feng Ding is an old Jianghu after all, and under his suggestion, Jiang Feng also found something unusual. After being full of wine and food, Jiang Feng decided to go up to the second floor to find out in person.
At this time, the shopkeeper stopped Jiang Feng and quickly blocked in front of Jiang Feng, he hurriedly said: "This guest officer, is it that the wine and food downstairs are not suitable for your taste?" Jiang Feng saw that he suddenly came out to stop him, and he was also suspicious in his heart: Could it be that this shopkeeper got some benefit from the other party, so he deliberately obstructed me. Jiang Feng also pretended to be fine, and said: "Oh, that's not the case, a few of us have eaten a lot, but now we want to go upstairs to take a look at the guest rooms of the post station, and I want to rest for a while before setting off." Sweat oozed from the shopkeeper's forehead, but he still pretended to be calm and said: "This guest officer, although our post station is the closest to the capital, but after all, it is not as good as the big inn in the capital, you have also seen, there are very few houses, most of the second floor has been rented by other guest officers, I think you should change the inn to settle down." Jiang Feng frowned slightly and asked, "In this way, the shopkeeper, there are no extra guest rooms on the second floor of the post station?" The shopkeeper said categorically: "No, it's really gone." Jiang Feng questioned: "Then why did the junior in your store ask me if I was a top boy or a resident when I didn't enter the post station just now?" The shopkeeper hurriedly shook his head, he has been operating here for more than ten years, and his ability to observe words and 'colors' is naturally needless to say, seeing that Jiang Feng's face 'color' has changed, if it goes on like this, I am afraid that the guests upstairs will have trouble with themselves before they see it. The shopkeeper was helpless, so he had to say: "This guest officer, I'm really embarrassed, the guest room on the second floor of our post station has indeed been rented in advance, and the guest who came in the morning, Xiao Er was working in the back at that time, and I really don't know." I apologize to you and ask for your forgiveness. Jiang Feng naturally wouldn't believe his nonsense, his right hand suddenly clenched the silver gun wrapped in black cloth, and his left hand signaled the shopkeeper to go away, his eyes already had a trace of murderous aura.
The shopkeeper was so frightened that he had to tremble and say, "Okay... Well, since you have to go up, I'll take you there. Jiang Feng turned to a smile at this time, the shopkeeper made a gesture of please, and the two went up to the second floor together. The shopkeeper subconsciously glanced at the third room, that is, such a subtle move was seen by Jiang Feng, he knew that the person who was staring at them before must be in that room. Jiang Fengzheng asked, "Shopkeeper, I wonder if there are other guest officers in this third room?" The shopkeeper's hands began to tremble after hearing this, and he deliberately blew, pretending that he would be like this because of the cold weather. Jiang Feng saw that the shopkeeper was so nervous, and he was more sure of his conjecture in his heart. Jiang Feng didn't wait for the shopkeeper to speak, he walked straight over, and the shopkeeper shouted behind him: "This guest officer, there are guests living inside, you can't go in and disturb the rest of the guests." Jiang Feng walked outside the third room, first looked at the 'door' of the house, and asked in a low voice: "What kind of friends are in the house, since you are here, why don't you dare to show up?"
The shopkeeper was also puzzled, but after all, there was no sound inside, and it was expected that Jiang Feng would not forcibly push the 'door' in, so he breathed a sigh of relief, walked over slowly, and said: "This guest officer, I'm afraid that the guests inside have already rested, so let's stop bothering him." If you do this again, it will be difficult for me to do it. Jiang Feng doubted in his heart: How could it be, if he was asleep, it would be impossible for him to not have a trace of breathing, could it be that he was really suspicious. No, this decision will not be a coincidence.
Just as he was hesitating, suddenly there was a neighing sound of horses outside the inn. Jiang Feng suddenly woke up and shouted: "Oops, it turns out that the tiger is still moving away from the mountain." After saying that, he immediately rushed downstairs. Feng Ding also heard the sound of horses' hooves, and picked up the dragon stick and ran out of the 'door' first. I saw a piece of dust, and I could see a trace of a horsetail from a distance, and when Jiang Feng came out again, he couldn't see anything. Feng Ding said in his mouth: "Damn, let these guys run away." Jiang Feng immediately became alert and said: "Big brother, it seems that the person who came is not good, we have been targeted, it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time, so we will set off immediately and return to the Zhaoxian Pavilion." Feng Ding nodded in agreement, and the two walked into the inn and took care of their respective baggage. Wang Yixin asked, "What happened?" Jiang Feng just shook his head, signaling him not to ask any more, and then said in a low voice: "Let's get out of here quickly!" After speaking, Huang Yue handed Jiang Feng's burden to him, and then walked out of the inn first. Jiang Feng arched his hand to the shopkeeper and said, "I was offended just now, and I also asked the shopkeeper Haihan." After speaking, he threw three taels of silver to the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper knew that they were leaving, so he immediately ordered Xiao Er to lead the horse behind.
Xiao Er brought the horses of the five people over at one time, Jiang Feng stroked his white horse, it seemed that the white horse was a little panicked, probably because of the gallop just now that frightened him. Due to the critical situation, he couldn't take care of much at the moment, he turned over and got on the horse, and ran to the Zhaoxian Hall with everyone, and when he left, Jiang Feng caught a glimpse of the dust on the horse shed in the backyard, and he didn't pay much attention to it, just told everyone to leave quickly. Seeing that the five of them were in such a hurry, Xiao Er, who was also a monk of Zhang's second brother, was puzzled, shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and said to himself: "Recently, they are all weird people, one is stranger than the other. I saw that the shopkeeper's face turned white with fright just now, and I really don't know why. ”
The shopkeeper shouted and scolded Xiao Er to hurry back to see the store, but he walked upstairs. He came to the door of the third room, knocked lightly on the door, and asked, "Guest, do you need to add some hot tea?" There was no answer inside, and the shopkeeper was bored with himself, and he couldn't push the 'door' in, so he had to go back. Just as the shopkeeper turned to leave, the door of the house was opened, Zhao Pingyuan leaned out half of his body from inside, and he said in a low voice: "Shopkeeper, please add some tea to me." When the shopkeeper heard Zhao Pingyuan's voice, he couldn't help but be startled, he reluctantly walked in, and Zhao Pingyuan immediately closed the door.
The shopkeeper added tea to the teapot, and Zhao Pingyuan asked faintly: "Have the four people who came downstairs before already left?" The shopkeeper nodded affirmatively and said, "That's right, they have all left, and they are panicking." Zhao Pingyuan just said: "Well, you can go out after pouring the water, I will pay for this room for another three days, whether I am here or not, this room cannot be rented to anyone else within three days." After speaking, ten taels of silver were placed on the table, and the shopkeeper saw that the money was open, so he naturally happily put it into his sleeve and said, "You can rest assured that the little one knows what to do." Zhao Pingyuan added: "Also, if someone asks, it will be as if I have never come." The shopkeeper said stupidly: "There are many guests who come and go from my post station every day, whether he is a Jianghu clan or an official who sends letters from the imperial court, I don't know any of them, I don't know, and I won't 'mess around'." When Zhao Pingyuan heard him say this, he was also relieved. After all, the 'sexual' nature of the post station is different from that of the inn, and if you dare to talk nonsense, I'm afraid that this head has already fallen off several times. Zhao Pingyuan watched the shopkeeper go out, and thought in his heart: Jiang Feng, Jiang Feng, I just used a little trick, and you were deceived by me, it seems that you want to fight with the master and the son, it is really far from it.
Along the way, Jiang Feng was recalling the series of things that had just happened. Feng Ding saw that Jiang Feng was absent-minded, so he reminded: "Brother, although this has reached the boundary of the capital, there is still a lot of dust and rocks on this road, and you can't be distracted when you are riding a horse." Huang Yue also said: "Yes, Brother Jiang Feng, although we don't know where the enemy is, we don't have to think about it all the time, after all, the Zhaoxian Pavilion is almost here." Wang Yixin said: "I see that no one has caught up with us in the back, it should be fine, don't worry too much!" Jiang Feng listened to their persuasion, and it was also relieved. But at this moment, Jiang Feng remembered the dust, and suddenly said, "Oh, so that's the case, why didn't I react just now." Gui Xuerou was surprised when she saw him, but asked curiously, "Pavilion Master Jiang, what's wrong with you?" Jiang Feng reined in the white horse and said softly, "I know how he disappeared from under our noses." ”......
How about 'wanting' to know what's going on?
Let's see the next breakdown.
