Chapter Twenty-Six: Secret Conversation in the Tavern
Zhao Wang grabbed Sima Weiguang and said softly, "Childe, don't say it again." ”
Sima Weiguang saw that Sun Xingyi had turned around and left, and he no longer chased after him, and said, "He seems to recognize me, why is he still like that?"
Zhao Wang said, "Of course Sun Xingyi knows you, but it seems that he has to pretend to be domineering because of something." ”
Sima Weiguang said, "That's right, I don't know what's in the way." ”
The people around them slowly dispersed, some still holding back a fire, but could not vent, some lowered their heads in frustration, looked at the fallen tree and shook their heads and sighed. The weapon shop was also locked up with a long chain of locks. Many officers and soldiers were guarding everywhere, and many officers and soldiers were looking for people who had dealings with the old man in various parts of the deserted city.
Sima Weiguang and the two were waiting here for Liu Tong to come back.
Zhao Wang led Sima Weiguang to the stall selling books to see, "Childe, I just found this strange book." He picked up a book from the pile of books, it was a "Baohua Secret Book", and when he opened it, it was just a blank paper.
Sima Weiguang was puzzled, "What's so magical about this book." ”
Zhao Wang said, "Childe watched." As he spoke, he blew into the book, and words and pictures appeared on the book, which seemed to be some Taoist cultivation methods. After a while, the words and pictures faded away, and when they blew again, they appeared again.
Sima Weiguang was stunned, not only because of the peculiarity of this book, but also because some of the talismans, sleep, and meditation methods recorded above are really rare and peculiar. I couldn't help but say, "These things are really not simple. ”
Zhao Wang said, "Exactly. Then he asked the boss, "How much is this book?"
The boss smiled and flattered, "This book is cheap, only five hundred taels of silver." ”
The two were shocked when they heard this, and Sima Weiguang sighed, "Why is it so expensive!"
At this time, I suddenly heard a shout from behind, "Childe!" It was Liu Tong who came back, walked up to the two of them, and said, "Childe, I have already touched that person's residence." Childe, come with me. ”
"Okay, then we'll go! This book, I'll buy it when I get back." After Sima Weiguang finished speaking, the three of them followed Liu Tong. Suddenly, a person came out of his side, stopped them, and whispered, "A few masters, my grandson is invited, can you go with the villain." ”
Only then did Sima Weiguang see that the man was a teenager, wearing a patched cotton coat, with unkempt hair and dirty face, and he looked very delicate when he looked closely. Sima Weiguang asked, "But Captain Sun Xingyi?"
The boy said, "Exactly." ”
Sima Weiguang said, "Then this little brother will lead the way." ”
The three of them followed the little brother for a few detours, came to the back of a restaurant, entered through a small door, walked through the kitchen, walked through a porch, went up to the second floor, and entered a room.
It was Sun Xingyi standing in the room, at this time it was no longer the domineering just now, he was very polite, and when he saw a few people coming in, he hurriedly stepped forward to worship him, "Sima Gongzi, under Sun Xingyi." Then he said, "I don't know if it's Sima Gongzi coming, it's really sluggish." Just now outside, my attitude was also bad. ”
Sima Weiguang said, "It's not in the way, presumably Sun Duwei also has some reasons." ”
Sun Xingyi welcomed a few people to sit down, and the little brother closed the door and went out, watching outside.
Sun Xingyi said, "I do have some hardships, I have heard the news before the son arrived, saying that there are a few people from Yulong Pass, but the person who told me the news told me that it was a few villains who sowed discord and wanted to discuss with me about something to rebel, so I would ask and arrest him when I saw it." ”
Zhao Wang asked, "The one who came to communicate with us last night was the commander of the commander?"
Sun Xingyi said, "Exactly, I think maybe the person who came from Sima Dagongzi reported some special news, and it was Sima Gongzi who didn't want to come." ”
Sima Weiguang said with a wry smile, "If you say that there is no rebellion, it is naturally not a matter of people who we don't see much when we run." Then he took out half of the sign that his brother had given him.
Sun Xingyi took half of the sign, looked at it carefully, and said, "Childe said, I and Gongzi Wei Chao are good friends, and I don't need to have foreign words, I can take care of anything." ”
Sima Weiguang said, "Lieutenant Sun Xingyi is naturally trustworthy. This time I came for one thing, at the end of the month, there will be an edict from the imperial court, to set my brother as the guard of the Jade Dragon Pass, and remove the current guard. It's just that I was afraid that the guard general would not obey the general's forces, so I came to find Sun Duwei to station near Chengguan at the end of the month. ”
Sun Xingyi said, "I know. No wonder those people told me that, they heard some rumors and knew what was going to happen next. ”
Zhao Wang asked, "Who are they talking about?"
Sun Xingyi said, "It's a close associate of the Jade Dragon Guard, named Li Hu, who arranged a few people in my camp, and I invited you here to avoid them. They may have heard the news from Li Hu a long time ago. ”
Zhao Wang said, "It's fast enough, we just arrived at Yulong Pass the night before yesterday, and they knew it so quickly." ”
Sun Xingyi said, "These people's ears and eyes are very smart, especially that Li Hu, who is not capable of fighting and guarding the gates externally, and his ability to peep and monitor inside cannot be underestimated." Don't worry, Childe, I'll take care of the rest!"
Sima Weiguang said, "Then there is Captain Laosun." ”
Sun Xingyi said, "It's okay, Gongzi will go back to Yulong Pass or go directly into the pass, there is a path to enter the pass, can Gongzi know?"
Sima Weiguang said, "I also asked Sun Duwei." ”
Sun Xingyi said, "When will the son leave? Come to this tavern again and find Qian Xiaolong in the kitchen, the one who brought you here just now." ”
Sima Weiguang got up and thanked him, "I think Captain Duwei is also busy on errands, so don't bother much." ”
Sun Xingyi also got up, "There are still some things, I just took back the baby at home, so I won't accompany you more!"
A few people went downstairs, followed Qian Xiaolong out of the back door again, and Liu Tong led the way, looking for the residence of the white-eyed man he had just met.
Walking on the road, Liu Tong said, "I followed that person several times just now, if I hadn't always remembered the direction of the road, I would have been dizzy by him." You don't know, the place he arrived at is not far from us, but it takes a lot of time to get around these laps. ”
Zhao Wang asked, "What kind of place is that?"
Liu Tong said, "It's really crowded there, many two- and three-story small buildings are piled up next to each other, walking in the dim sky and not seeing a little sunlight, there are many doors, and the people who move around are some improper people, dragons and snakes are mixed, fortunately I followed, just say you Zhao Wang, and you have to lose it if you go in." He laughed.
Zhao Wang glared at him, wanting to reply to him, just think about it.
