Chapter 269: A Night in the Town (1)
Bai Lichen chased from the back of the ship to the deck in front of the ship, and when he looked back, he saw a man standing on the top of the ship. At that moment he rose up, landed directly on the top of the boat, saluted the man, and said, "What does the master command?"
The man: "How's it going?"
"The specific situation, the subordinates don't understand very well, but after the subordinates and the brothers Yu Tong and Yu Hai went out to run errands and came back, they said that they had found the Linglong treasure box, and they also got three carriages!" Bai Lichen replied.
"Get three carriages, they are naturally playing a suspicious strategy, one is to protect Kou Zhun, and the other is to protect the Linglong Treasure Box!"
Bai Lichen nodded: "At noon and evening, Ouyang Han sent food to the first carriage, and his subordinates boldly guessed that the first carriage must be Kou Zhun!"
"Yes, people are human beings after all, and they must eat to live. "That's human.
"Do you want to do it on the ship?" said Bailichen.
The man waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, you have to figure out which carriage the Linglong treasure box is, let's do it again, in addition, the ship is easy to change, and when we get on land, let's do it, so that nothing goes wrong!"
Bai Lichen nodded, and said, "But Ouyang Han and Kou Zhun are very cautious, they won't give me the chance to pick up the next two carriages at all!"
"They're targeting you?" said the man.
"That's not it, the entire convoy is subordinate, Kou Zhun, Wen Yongjie, Yu Tong, Yu Hai, and the six coachmen, except for Ouyang Han, no one can approach the two carriages behind!" Bai Lichen said.
The man pondered for a moment and said, "Coachman?
Bai Lichen said: "That's just a thin young man, it is estimated that he was found temporarily!"
"Remember, any inconspicuous place or person can be bad, and besides, I'll pay some money for the coffin bearer, and in the chaos, you'll have access to the two carriages behind!" the man said.
"My subordinates understand!" replied Bai Lichen.
"Alright, you can go down first. The man waved his hand.
Bai Lichen returned to the carriage and made up some things randomly, with Bai Lichen's caution, Ouyang Han and the others naturally couldn't hear the flaws in between.
At the beginning of spring, the river is relatively cold, and there are occasional ice blocks suspended in the water, so that the boats move very slowly, and by the time the ships dock, it is already the next morning.
As soon as the ship docked, Ouyang Han and Wen Yongjie, Yu Tong, and Yu Hai brought the carriage ashore, while the coachman pretending to be Mi Fang led the horse out. As for Bai Lichen, he was arranged to guard the carriage on the shore.
Between the comings and goings, Bai Lichen wanted to go up more than once to check the carriage that had gone ashore, but the coachman who Mi Fang pretended to be went ashore with him, even if he was given a hundred dares, he didn't dare to step forward.
After everything was done, the three carriages drove into the official road and headed in the direction of Bianjing. Two days later, the group arrived in a small town. There is only one inn in the town, called Ping'an Inn, which provides a shelter for travelers from the north and south.
The town is smaller than expected, with only about 20 households, and the bluestone slabs on the streets are broken in many places, and there are many abandoned houses on both sides, and only the houses in the center are inhabited.
Ouyang Han and Wen Yongjie rode in front, and the three carriages behind were all extremely luxuriously decorated, and people passing by would take a few glances from time to time. At this moment, in front of Baili Chen's horse mountain, he hugged his fist towards Ouyang Han and said, "Commander Ouyang, there seems to be something wrong with the pedestrians on these streets!"
Ouyang Han said lightly: "Don't be suspicious, just do your own thing!"
"It's because his subordinates are too worried!, but Commander Ouyang should know that there are no more people in this town, why is there a lot of people coming and going today, doesn't Commander Ouyang think it's strange?" Bai Lichen said again.
Ouyang Han said: "Although the town here has been abandoned for many years, but within a radius of 100 miles, it is the only place to live here, and there are many guests coming and going from the south to the north, so it is naturally what you see now!"
When Bai Lichen heard this, he had to nod his head and say yes, and at this time, he said again: "Now it seems that there are many tourists in the town, and the only Ping'an Inn may no longer have rooms." ”
Ouyang Han said: "You go up and inquire!"
"Yes!" Bai Lichen agreed, then rode his horse and ran forward, and when Ouyang Han, Wen Yongjie and others arrived at the Ping An Inn, they saw Bai Lichen talking to the owner of the inn, and from time to time Bai Lichen could be seen frowning, but the shopkeeper of the inn was full of smiles, but the smile was mostly embarrassed and helpless.
"What's going on?" Ouyang Han jumped off his horse and walked up.
Bai Lichen replied: "Commander Ouyang guessed correctly, this Ping'an Inn has been full of guests recently, we came in time, just left two guests, and vacated two rooms." But the subordinate and the shopkeeper said that our two rooms are not enough to live, so please spare him a few more!"
The shopkeeper said: "Guest officer, the guests here are still living, you can't ask me to drive people away!"
Ouyang Han looked at the shopkeeper and said, "Is there really no extra room?"
The shopkeeper couldn't stand Ouyang Han's sword-like gaze, lowered his head, and replied: "It's really gone, guest officer, think about it, I'm an innkeeper, if there is a room that is not for guests, isn't it a fool's doing?"
At this time, the brothers Yu Tong and Yu Hai walked up, and Yu Hai said, "Commander Ouyang, two rooms are enough." ”
"Yes, but the subordinates are confused, this carriage still needs to be guarded, so let the subordinates and their brothers guard the carriage, as for the coachman who drove the carriage······" Bai Lichen spoke, and couldn't help but glance at Mi Fang, who was sitting on the deck of the carriage.
"There are deserted houses all over the town, and it seems to me that we will find a random place to shelter from the wind and rain for one night. Wen Yongjie said.
"How······'s that going to work? How noble is the identity of the master, how can he settle it?" Bai Lichen looked at the carriage in front of him at this time.
Ouyang Han ignored Bai Lichen, but nodded directly: "I think it's okay to catch Wen Zhutou's idea, so let's do it!"
The shopkeeper and Bai Lichen heard Ouyang Han's words, and changes flashed on their faces that were not easy for outsiders to notice.
"From the perspective of my subordinates, let's listen to what the master has to say!" Bai Lichen said at this time.
Ouyang Han said: "Before leaving, the master explained to me, everything in the itinerary is arranged by me, don't worry, just do what I say!"
Ouyang Han's attitude was extremely tough, and as a subordinate, Bai Lichen naturally didn't dare to say anything more.
"Let's go!" Ouyang Han waved his hand, and the brothers Yu Tong and Yu Hai each got into the carriage, turned around the same way, and after a while, they came to the abandoned house where no one lived.
"Yu Tong, Yu Hai, you go and check out, find out the surrounding environment clearly, don't be sloppy!" Ouyang Han ordered.
Yu Tong and Yu Hai hugged their fists towards Ouyang Han and walked into the abandoned houses. Ouyang Han looked at Bai Lichen again and said, "There are a lot of abandoned houses here, you go and choose the most suitable one!"
"Yes!" Bai Lichen agreed, and went into the abandoned house group to choose. In the time of about half a pillar of incense, Yu Tong, Yu Hai, and Bai Lichen all returned.
"Commander, we've already seen around here, and there's no big problem!" Yu Haidao.
"What do you mean it's not a big problem?" Ouyang Han frowned slightly, and his face was full of unhappiness.
Yu Daodao: "Commander, it's like this, there are a lot of abandoned houses here, and there are people in good houses. ”
"If that's the case, it's not that there is no problem here, but that there is a big problem!" Ouyang Han said.
Yu Haidao: "Most of these people are business travelers, and some of them are people who walk the rivers and lakes, there should be no problem with this, right?"
Bai Lichen said: "Now it can be said that this place is mixed, how can it be said that there is no problem?"
When Yu Tong and Yu Hai heard this, they didn't dare to say anything.
"What do you think of Wen Zhutou?" Ouyang Han also had no idea at this time, to be honest, along the way, basically all matters big and small were arranged by Wen Yongjie, with a rough man like him, how could he make so many arrangements that caused headaches for people like Bai Lichen?
Wen Yongjie said: "It's not a good choice to go back to the inn now, I see that there are still a lot of houses here, let's just find a random place!"
"Okay, then let's not toss, just choose this place!" Ouyang Han pointed to an abandoned house in front of him and said.
Ouyang Han said this, Bai Lichen, Yu Tong, and Yu Hai naturally didn't dare to say anything more. The brothers Yu Tong and Yu Hai drove the carriage directly into the abandoned house, while Bai Lichen was sent to collect firewood. After about half an hour of busy work, the three carriages were pushed into the dilapidated house, and at this time, Bai Lichen had already returned from collecting firewood.
There were two rooms in this waste, and the partition wall in the middle was broken, so Wen Yongjie and Ouyang Han used some effort to remove the partition wall and make the two rooms connected together.
"Commander, is it really okay for us to live here?" Bai Lichen set up the dry wood and lit it with a fire breaker.
The flames ignited more than three feet high, illuminating the faces of Wen Yongjie and Ouyang Han red. Ouyang Han glanced at Bai Lichen and said, "Living here, let's be cautious." ”
"By the way, why didn't that little brother who drove the car come to roast the fire? In this early spring, once it falls at night, the weather is a little colder than in late autumn!" Bai Lichen suddenly said again.
Ouyang Han said lightly: "Her task is to guard the carriage. ”
"He's also one of our people, Commander Ouyang, you're really powerful, your subordinates still don't know that we have someone in Jinling!" Baili looked at Mi Fang intentionally or unintentionally, and secretly calculated in his heart: "Now it seems that the one who lives in this first carriage must be Kou Zhun, and the last carriage is strange, maybe the Linglong treasure box is not on Kou Zhun, but in the last carriage, as for the carriage in the middle, it is estimated that it is a suspicious plan or a trap!"
Ouyang Han said lightly: "Everything is arranged by adults, and this mission can be completed, and that little brother is indispensable!"
