Volume 25 Darts
Ming Xuan and the three of them quietly returned to the city with several large boxes of treasures, and after they were settled, they gathered the people in the dart game, and early the next morning, everyone set off again.
"Big brother, what's wrong with you? I haven't said a word since early in the morning. From the beginning to the present, Yu Wen has been calm, and he seems to be a little unhappy, but Yu Wu is running up and down on a horse from time to time and shouting, so not majestic.
"I have always wondered why this dart appeared so weird, just appeared in the early days when we had friction with Dongma Village, and forced us to receive the dart, no matter how you look at it, it was deliberately done by Dongma Village, but I didn't expect that in the end it didn't matter at all. Yu Wen is still struggling with this matter.
"What the hell was it like when you were holding a dart? Thinking about it, Ming Xuan also felt that this period was indeed weird.
"That is, the other day, it was a big morning, we opened the door as usual and waited for business, and I took the dart masters to practice martial arts in the yard, a qiē is normal, but after a while, a few people came from outside the door, banging on the gong and setting off firecrackers and came in, because the movement was quite big, so it attracted a lot of people to come over, I was taking everyone to practice martial arts is energetic, so I impatiently walked over to accept them. Yu Wu recalled the scene.
"What happened later?" Ming Xuan asked.
"I naturally asked them what they were doing, they shouted loudly that they wanted to hold the dart, for fear that others would not understand, and the attitude was very arrogant, they were holding their nostrils to look at people, I was a little angry, but I saw that there was a business to come to the door or patiently asked them what darts they wanted, they did not say what it was, but from the outside brought in these several large boxes with seals, said that we wanted to send us to Liucheng, when we had just fought with Dongma Village, so I naturally did not dare to take the darts that went west, so I called the eldest brother over。 Yu Wu pointed to several large boxes behind him and said.
"We injured the three masters of Dongma Village, they must hate us to the core, although they dare not openly enter the city to retaliate, but if we send it to the door, there will be absolutely no good fruit to eat! So when I heard Xiao Wu say this, I immediately rejected them with kind words, saying that the dart bureau has been busy lately, and there are not enough people to be busy, so let him go elsewhere to support the dart; it is reasonable to give them enough face, but they don't sell it, saying that they are too lazy to trouble, so they will hold the dart here with us, and they also said that it doesn't matter if they send it later, and even gave us a one-month deadline. Yu Wen continued.
"This is a bit interesting, I have to let people go to Dongma Village to think about it!"
"That's right, we thought so at the time, but these words can't be said on the table, in order to cause less trouble, and not to offend the guests, I deliberately said that his goods are so much, the dart fee is not cheap, you have to ask for a thousand taels of silver, want to scare him away with the price, who knows that he didn't frown, and directly took out a thousand taels of silver tickets and said that we will pay off now, and we will not be able to get off the stage at this time. Speaking of this now, Yu Wen still remembers the embarrassment at that time.
"We don't pick up or not, see us hesitate, they immediately came to the strength, shouted loudly, said that there is no dart bureau in the world does not take the dart and send the guests to the door to drive the truth, so hesitant must be afraid of the road to the East Ma Village; they also provoked that we darts are not afraid to take what darts to open the game, said that we are so brave and incapable, to everyone do not come here to support the darts, and so on said a lot, although the words are mean but reasonable, everyone began to talk about it, if this dart is not next, then the reputation of our dart bureau is only afraid of ruined, as a last resort, I have to take the dart。 Yu Wen said with a wry smile.
"It's really a hot potato!" "Comparing his heart to his heart, in that situation where he knew it was a trap, he was afraid and couldn't solve it.
"At that time, it was not impossible to push it off with a cheeky face, but at that time, the dart game was really a bit difficult, and this thousand taels of silver had a great attraction for us!"
"Isn't it all good now, Dongmazhai has also been solved, and it has got so many silver taels, although most of them are used to help poor people, but with so much capital in hand, the future will be prosperous!" Ming Xuan said with a smile, they had already discussed it last night, and the silver taels seized this time were put in the dart bureau first, and they slowly helped the people in the future, and they also left some capital to make the dart board bigger.
"But this dart still can't make me feel at ease!" Yu Wen was still worried.
"Since you can't figure it out, don't think about it, won't it be clear when you arrive in Liucheng, we have passed the hurdle of Dongmazhai, what else is difficult to fall for us!" Yu Wu didn't care.
"Fifth Senior Brother is right, it's better to see the tricks if you think too much!" Ming Xuan said quite approvingly.
"That's right, Xiao Qi, I'm glad to have you this time!, otherwise the consequences are really unimaginable!" Yu Wen said gratefully.
"Fourth Senior Brother, you are too outward! This is just a gesture, not to mention that we are still senior brothers!" Ming Xuan smiled and said, in order to prevent Yu Wen and Yu Wu from continuing to say more sensual words of thanks, he simply ran to the front of the team to explore the way.
"Brother, Xiao Qi helped us like this, we should repay him well!" Looking at Ming Xuan's distant back, Yu Wu was also inexplicably emotional.
"Well, it will definitely live up to such affection!" Yu Wen said lightly, but his tone was unprecedentedly firm.
......
Licheng and Liucheng are two adjacent cities, not too far away, even a large group of people like the dart game only took three days to arrive.
"It's almost time to reach the destination, everyone cheer up, let them take a good look at the look of our Tiger Dart Bureau!" Yu Wu said loudly, boosting everyone's morale.
"The specific location of the dart is in the Yang Mansion on the front street in the middle of the city, we have to be careful!" Yu Wen said in a low voice, things are too unusual, it is better to be careful.
"Since the dart is in the city, it should be safe, but it's always good to be careful. Ming Xuan nodded and said.
"I'm desperate to know what's in this box. Yu Wu stared at the box and said thoughtfully.
After some inquiry, the group soon came to the Yang Mansion, where the darts were exchanged, and a dart master stepped forward and knocked on the knocker.
"Who?" After a while, there was an echo from inside the door.
"We are from the Huwei Dart Bureau, come to hand in the darts!" the dart master replied loudly, full of momentum.
"Oh, I didn't expect to come so soon!" muttered inside, opened the door, and walked out a butler-like figure.
"Please, Huwei Dart Bureau is here. Yu Wen arched his hand and said indifferently.
"My son-in-law told me a long time ago, you all come in!" The housekeeper was obviously prepared and opened the men to let them in, but at this time, Yu Wen was attentive and let Yu Wu stay outside with a few dart masters.
Entering the gate, there is an ordinary courtyard inside, no different from most houses, the only thing that is a little unusual is that this family is very deserted, and there seems to be no one else except this housekeeper.
"Just leave it here, someone will clean it up later. The butler casually pointed to a clearing in the courtyard and said.
"Okay, do you want us to move you in directly, so as not to trouble you when you get to. Yu Wen said enthusiastically.
"No, it doesn't matter. The housekeeper rejected Yu Wen's kindness.
"Why are you so lonely in this house, are you alone?" asked Ming Xuan pretending to be concerned.
"Today, the old lady took the maid to the temple to offer incense, and the others are busy in the backyard!" the butler's answer was also leaky.
"Then do you want to open the box and inspect the goods to see if there is anything missing? Yu Wen continued.
"No need, the seals are all in order, thank you!" the butler said with a casual glance, and it seemed that he was going to chase away the guests.
"Let's see, if we walk out the door, we won't care if there are any problems. Yu Wen insisted.
"It's okay, I can trust you Tiger Dart Bureau! You can go, thank you very much!" Seeing that they were still here, the housekeeper directly ordered the eviction.
Seeing that many attempts were fruitless, Ming Xuan and Yu Wen had no choice but to give up, and walked out of the Yang Mansion in a daze, without the slightest relief in their hearts, this trip ended inexplicably.
......
After seeing Ming Xuan and the others go away, the housekeeper closed the door again, ignoring the boxes on the ground, and went straight into the depths of the house, and came to an inner courtyard, where a gray old man was playing Go with a middle-aged scribe.
"Master, I've already sent the people of the Tiger Dart Bureau away. The butler bowed and said.
"Oh, did they ask anything?" said the old man casually, and the chess pieces in his hand did not stop.
"There were two people who kept asking questions, and they seemed to be suspicious, but I sent them away. The housekeeper said a little proudly, it seems that he has seen the probing questions of Ming Xuan and Yu Wen, but he just pretended not to know.
"Well, well done, then you can get busy!" the old man waved his hand indifferently and motioned for the butler to leave.
"Over the years, Liu Xiangrong has also made a lot of money for the clan in Dongma Village, so it's a pity to destroy it so lightly!" the middle-aged scribe smiled faintly, and did not stop the chess pieces in his hand.
"I had already told them to evacuate as soon as possible after the mission was completed, but they didn't listen, and the King of the Mountain couldn't stand the hard life of the clan after a long time!" the old man said with a cold snort.
"Then you don't need to borrow someone else's hand, maybe they still have a lot of private money!" The middle-aged scribe said with a strange bright color flashing in his eyes.
"Who knew they were so useless! A third-rate dart game can't be done, it seems that all these years of Jiuchi Meat Forest have ruined that meager martial arts!" the old man said with a sullen snort.
"I know Liu Xiangrong, Liu Rui and Liu Mingyuan, and their martial arts are not bad!
"It's just a few pawns from Qingyangmen, I originally wanted them to fight and lose both, destroy these pawns, and quietly destroy Dongma Village, but I didn't expect them to be so useless! Not only did they fail to destroy them, but they put themselves in!"
"Oh, it turns out that the disciple of Qingyangmen! That's kind of interesting. The middle-aged scribe smiled faintly and continued to play chess without saying a word.
