CHAPTER XXVI
The sentry cried out to hell, and when he turned back, there was nothing to see on the river, so he had no choice but to do it. It turned out that these two hares were arranged by Kong Rui, and Kong Rui had tied the hare with a strip of cloth before, burned the strip of cloth with fire, extinguished the open flame and let the dark fire slowly burn the strip of cloth, just when he and Su Yun floated across the riverside sentry with a reed pole in their mouths, the strip of cloth was burned, and the two hares ran out front and back, disturbing the sentry's mind, and had no time to take care of the riverside, so the two of them passed the roadcard safely.
Kong Rui and Su Yun The two children went out day and night, walked for two more days, and finally got away from the mountainous area, and saw Zhendian, because it was far away from the Suishan Mountains, it was normal near Zhendian here, the two children hurriedly found an inn, rested for two days, asked the direction of Suidu, and the two children set off again.
Although the territory of the Prince of Gen has fallen, the order during the day is still acceptable, and there are occasionally some refugees who have fled, but it is difficult to see each other again.
After another month, the two children, Kong Rui and Su Yun, finally came to Suidu.
Suidu has been a prosperous resort since ancient times, and the ancestors of Prince Gen have been operating here for generations, and it is also a gathering of businessmen and rich in the world. Although it fell into the hands of the Yakini, because there was no major war, and the Raiders did not loot when they entered the city, it still seemed to be prosperous.
Kong Rui saw such a prosperous place for the first time, and his heart was also very excited. Su Yun grew up here, although he has been in the mining valley for three years, he still has a little impression of the prosperity of the city, and he is a little happier along the way, and he keeps introducing Kong Rui, Kong Rui also looks around at Su Yun's guidance, and keeps asking Su Yun this and that to satisfy his curiosity.
Suddenly, several little beggars of the same age as them surrounded Kong Rui and them, and one of them leaned down and hugged Su Yun's feet, crying, "Have pity on us! Su Yun was stunned for a moment, although she sympathized with these little beggars in her heart, but why didn't she flee to escape? Just when she was at a loss, those little beggars scattered in a hurry and ran away.
Just when Su Yun felt inexplicable, a kind person on the side said to her: "Little girl, see if you have lost anything on you?" Su Yun hurriedly reached out and touched it, and sure enough, he found that his money bag was gone, so he hurriedly looked around, trying to find those beggars, but he didn't even see a human figure.
When Kong Rui saw Su Yun like this, he knew that she should have lost something, so he hurriedly came up to comfort her. I saw Su Yun scolding angrily: "These nasty thieves, I really thought they just wanted a little food, but they stole my money bag." Kong Rui thought about it, he had probably sorted out Lin Wen's storage bag when he was in the valley a few days ago, and there was a bag containing hundreds of small ingots of silver, and hurriedly whispered to Su Yun: "It's okay, Uncle Lin's storage bag still has a lot of money!" Kong Rui was thinking in his heart: It turns out that even in a prosperous place like Suidu, there are still these cunning people, so it seems that you still have to be careful.
The two children discussed it, and planned to stay here for one night, and then go to the tailor's shop on the small north street the next morning, and soon they could arrive at Wuxuanzong. When the two of them thought back on the hardships of the past month or so, they saw that they had a safe and stable place, and their hearts were full of hope, but when they looked back at the prosperity of Suidu and the customs of the northland, they couldn't help but feel melancholy when they saw that they were going to stay away from this place.
Although Su Yun wanted to recall the area where she lived when she was a child, when she got there, she saw that there were deep mansions on both sides, and they were obviously all official eunuchs, but she didn't know anyone now, so she had to find an inn nearby to live in. The innkeeper saw that it was two children, but he still greeted him with a smile and asked, "Do you want one room or two rooms, and how long do you want to stay?" Kong Rui was about to answer one room, but Su Yun next to him rushed to say: "Two rooms, stay for one night." ”
Seeing that there were only two children and no adults coming, the shopkeeper was worried that they would not have the money to pay the bill, so he said: "Two rooms cost half a tael of silver for one night, do you two pay the bill first?" Kong Rui heard this, so he reached out and took out a small ingot of silver from the bag, handed it to the shopkeeper, and asked, "Is this enough?" The shopkeeper took a look at it, and knew that it was a silver ingot of two taels and one ingot, and quickly nodded and said, "Enough, enough." "I was about to arrange for the guy to take the two of them upstairs, but at a glance, I found that this silver ingot was not quite right, although the silver material was not fake, and the weight was enough, but the casting shape had never been seen, looking at the bottom imprint, it was not a silver ingot circulated in the Great Yan Country. The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, but he didn't say anything on his lips, and sent his men to take the two upstairs.
After Kong Rui was stolen just now, he was already a little cautious about the surrounding things, and seeing such a change in the shopkeeper, although he wondered in his heart, he didn't say anything, and went upstairs with Su Yun. Seeing that the guy left, Kong Rui hurriedly pulled Su Yun and whispered: "Why do I think that the shopkeeper just now seems to be a little wrong, and I don't know what's going on." Su Yun didn't notice the change in the shopkeeper just now, thought about it and said, "He probably thinks it's a little strange for two children to come to stay in the hotel." Kong Rui thought about it, so he didn't say anything and went into the room.
Kong Rui sat in the room for a while, feeling very bored, usually he and Su Yun were together, and suddenly he felt very unaccustomed to being lonely, so he knocked on Su Yun's door and went in to chat with her.
The two children had just been chatting for a while when they suddenly heard a knock on the door. Kong Rui opened the door and saw three people standing at the door, all wearing uniforms and carrying knives at their waists, but they didn't know each other, but the innkeeper followed behind. Kong Rui hurriedly asked, "Who are you looking for?" only to hear the shopkeeper say in the back: "It's this kid." Su Yun heard that it was wrong, and hurriedly stepped forward to take a look, but she knew that this was an official in the official mansion.
It turned out that the shopkeeper saw that there was something wrong with the silver ingot, and he only saw the two children and did not see the adults, so he was even more suspicious, worried that the silver was fake, so he hurriedly asked the man to find the official messenger to come.
Although this capital has fallen into the hands of the Qixian people, the daily trivial matters of public security are still managed by the officials of the original Great Yan Country, who are basically the old team members of the previous country, and they are quite polite to the people of the Great Yan Kingdom.
The official leader took the silver ingot from the hand of the shopkeeper, and after a closer look, he knew that this was the salary of the soldiers stationed in Xili Kingdom, although there were soldiers from Xili who were transferred from Xili Kingdom, and from time to time there were some such silver ingots in circulation, but the number was very small, and it was quickly recovered by the officials, how could this little child in front of him be able to take out such a silver ingot? The leader felt strange in his heart, so he asked, "What are your names? Where do you come from?" Kong Rui naturally knew that he couldn't say that he came out of the mine valley, but he didn't know the names of other places, so he stumbled all of a sudden, and he didn't know how to answer. Su Yun reacted very quickly, and said, "My brother's name is Su Rui, my name is Su Yun, and we used to live on Suzaku Street. But it was Su Yun who said the approximate place of the original residence.
When the leader heard this, he looked at Su Yun carefully, then turned back to the other two officials and the shopkeeper and said, "You go down first, I have a few words to ask these two children." Seeing that they were just two children, the two officials did not take it seriously, so they went downstairs with the shopkeeper.
The leader saw that the other people had gone out, so he closed the door and said to Su Yun, "Your surname is Su, and you used to live on Suzaku Street?" Su Yun nodded and said, "Yes." The leader asked, "Do you know that there is another person surnamed Su on Suzaku Street, do you know General Su Qingyun?"
