Chapter 242: Mission
Bai Tang didn't know if Zhao Heng had gone north with the Dahua army, but now that the war was not over, no matter where Zhao Heng was, Bai Tang would not be able to bother.
What's more, even if Bai Tang found the army, how could the soldiers believe Bai Tang's words?
Therefore, Bai Tang did not go to the army, he only hoped that Zhao Heng and the others would be safe and sound, and they would be able to return to their hometown safely.
Of course, it was best for Zhao Heng and them to return earlier, and Bai Tang might be able to meet them. If they didn't say goodbye to Zhao Heng and them, Bai Tang would inevitably have regrets in his heart.
However, judging from the current progress, before Baitang has the conditions to go home, the war in the north should be able to end, and the possibility of seeing Zhao Heng and them is still very high.
Bai Tang put these things aside for the time being and stayed in the inn for a while. In order to avoid encountering the suspicious man, Bai Tang has been hiding in his room, and if he is hungry, he will go directly through the window to the street outside to buy something to eat.
Until the next day, Bai Tang left the inn early, hid near the inn door, and swept his eyes over the passers-by, especially those who had obvious pauses in front of the inn door, which was the focus of Bai Tang's attention.
Because the north gate is very well guarded, and it is the most vulnerable place to attack by the Numa tribe, there are very few pedestrians near the north gate, which just gives Baitang convenience, and there is no need to worry about too many pedestrians to see it.
Baitang left the house around six o'clock, and then stayed on the opposite side of the inn. After about an hour, the suspicious figure that Bai Tang had been waiting for finally appeared.
There were five people in all, and they did not come from the north gate, but from the south side of the sand city. They looked like merchants, and the leader was dressed in luxury, looking pot-bellied, and he swayed when he walked, with a hidden arrogance on his face.
He was followed by two maids and two servants, the maids were beautiful in appearance and beautifully dressed, but the servants were plainly dressed and made of simple linen cloth.
The reason why these five people are suspicious is that all five of them are dressed in red, and the leader of them wears a red hat full of joy, and the two maids are also decorated with red flowers on their heads, and the two servants have red collars. In the eyes of ordinary people, these red decorations are not worth noting. But after Bai Tang learned in advance that the man was going to connect with the people with red on his body, he would naturally pay special attention to those who were red.
What's more, the five people in this line all had red on their bodies, which made Bai Tang feel even more suspicious.
The group really stopped outside the door of the Tonghu Inn, and turned their eyes to the Tonghu Inn. After a moment's pause, the merchant at the head took the lead towards the inn door, and the entourage behind him naturally followed.
In the inn, the man from yesterday was standing at the counter, looking out the door. When he saw the group of five people walking into the inn, his eyes swept over the five people, and he couldn't help but show joy.
The five people also looked at the man in unison, and the businessman led by him looked at the man with his nostrils and snorted softly: "Don't get in the way." ”
The man was stunned, and his face couldn't help showing a look of confusion, could it be that he made a mistake?
At this time, the merchant had already pushed the man aside, and then put a silver ingot on the counter, and said to the shopkeeper, "There are three upper rooms, there is no need to look for them." ”
The shopkeeper was happy, and he beckoned Xiao Er with a smile at the moment, and asked Xiao Er to take the businessman to the guest room.
Before leaving, the merchant glanced at the man, and then said as if intentionally or unintentionally: "The first time I came to Shacheng, I am not familiar with the life here, if there is a local to help me, I want to do business better." ”
If a man can be found to do things, he will naturally not be a fool. At this time, his eyes lit up suddenly, and when he came to the front of the merchant, he nodded and said, "The little ones are locals, and they are willing to be your guides." ”
The merchant stared at the man for a moment, and then suddenly said, "Do you know what kind of horse is the best here?"
The man smiled: "Naturally, it is a horse that eats meat." ”
The merchant asked, "What horses eat meat?"
The man said, "A hungry horse has no grass to eat, so it can only eat meat." ”
The merchant nodded, "Yes, yes, come with me." ”
The man immediately followed behind the merchant and followed Xiao Er to the guest room.
Bai Tang was stealthily following behind them at this time, he was really curious about the purpose of these people, especially in the current tense situation between Dahua and the Numa tribe in the north, any disturbance on this side of Sand City was worth noting.
After Xiao Er arranged three rooms for the merchant, the merchant asked Xiao Er to retreat, and then beckoned everyone to enter the middle room together.
With the help of stealth, Bai Tang quietly infiltrated the room, and then hid in the corner, ready to listen to what the guys were going to discuss.
When everyone had entered the house, a maid and a servant withdrew to the house and closed the door tightly.
The maid of the house stood respectfully at the table, while the other servant sat on the chair beside the table with the merchant.
The man glanced at the seated servant with some surprise, but did not ask much, but stood respectfully, waiting for the merchant's instructions.
But the merchant did not speak, but the servant who sat beside him was the first to speak.
The servant spoke, "Tick coo coo." ”
The man's eyes were suddenly full of respect when he looked at the servant, but he obviously didn't understand the servant's words, and his face was slightly puzzled at the moment.
The merchant immediately translated: "This is the leader of the Numa Divine Horse Tribe, he just asked you if you are mentally prepared for the next arrangement?"
The man nodded: "I'm ready." ”
Twisting bald purr said: "Coo, coo." ”
The man turned his gaze to the merchant, who immediately said, "The chief said that since you are prepared, you must not betray, or you and your family will suffer because of your decision." ”
The man nodded and said, "I understand." ”
The merchant leaned over to Twist Bald and said something in her ear, and Twist Bald immediately nodded, didn't say anything more, and got up and left the room.
The maid who had been standing aside also withdrew from the room at this time, and when only the merchant and the man were left in the house, the merchant said: "You can call me Boss Gao in the future, and I will inform you of the arrangements after that, and if you need anything, just come to me." ”
The man lowered his eyebrows and nodded: "The little one understands." ”
Boss Gao looked at the man with satisfaction: "Speaking of which, I don't know your name yet, I don't know how to call it in the future?"
The man said: "The little one is called Zhang Fugui, and Boss Gao can call me Xiao Zhang in the future." ”
Boss Gao bowed slightly, and then said, "You don't need to do anything for the time being, so you can step back and pick up the others." ”
