Chapter 5: Eavesdropping

The two rested for a while and then set to action. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info The cottage was brightly lit and seemed to be holding some kind of banquet. If you sneak in so early, you'll have a much better chance of being discovered. But it's too late, there are two people stunned in the mountain, and the time of this level of stun is uncontrollable, and you may wake up at any time. If they returned to the village first and preached it, it would be even more difficult to break into martial law in the middle of the night.

After discussing it again, the two decided that Liu Ping'an would sneak in first, and the mustache would answer outside. The main thing is that he has a flying knife that can be rescued remotely.

Liu Ping'an tightened his shoes and began to continue to climb forward, he was going to climb to the top of the mountain first and detour to the backyard before acting, the main gate would definitely not be able to enter.

This village is built on the mountain, and in many places the wall is directly against the mountain, and the vertical stone wall is made of stone. But fortunately, this kind of stone wall is not as smooth as the cement wall of later generations. Liu Ping'an easily stepped on the gap in the stone and slid down.

After a closer look at the surrounding area, I found that it was a stable. There must have been a number of horses locked up inside, and there was a constant neighing of horses, and when the breeze came, a stench of horse manure was also coming.

Liu Ping'an covered his nose and went around to the front, and found that there was a small guy brushing the horse. I was trying to find a place to hide, but I didn't think the other party would find him.

Liu Ping'an was hesitating, but the little guy said with a smile: "Your horses have been fed, are you here to fetch the horses and prepare to leave at night?"

Liu Ping'an remembered the words of the third brother Hu on the road, and a group of people came to the village today. I guess this guy thinks of himself as a guest. So he also replied casually: "No, I'll come over for convenience, and by the way, see how the horse is prepared." ”

"You can rest assured that our hospitality in Xining Village is absolutely first-class, and the guests' horses must also be treated with the highest standard. ”

Liu Ping'an stepped forward and patted the little guy's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, I'll continue to go to the front to have a look." After taking two steps, he turned back and asked, "Which way is the closest way from here to the front hall?"

The little guy pointed to the side and said, "There is a long corridor here, and you can get there by going through it." ”

Liu Ping'an swaggered over as he instructed. When I met a few people on the way, I didn't shy away from them, but greeted them. Everyone in Xining Village thought he was a guest in the front hall, and they responded with a smile, but no one saw through it.

Liu Ping'an walked all the way down the corridor to the front hall.

In fact, he didn't know what he was doing here. The goal of chivalry and righteousness has been achieved, and Li Chunlan has already been sent back; Kill them all? As far as the two of them are newcomers in the rivers and lakes who can almost say that they have never seen blood, they are embarrassed to kill the two thieves who have been caught, so how can they go on a killing spree. In fact, they just want to see what the bandits' den is like, and when they brag to others in the future, they can say: "I killed a person from such and such a cottage at that time." ”

With such a mentality, there is no need to accomplish any achievements, so Liu Ping'an is actually very relaxed.

When he arrived at the door of the front hall, Liu Ping'an looked around, and while there was no one around, he jumped lightly on the beam of the door, and then secretly looked in from the window above. The windows of this era are all papier-mâché, and in fact, there is glass, but it is too expensive to use this kind of small cottage.

There are several holes in the papier-mâché window, and you can see the bustle of the hall from here. A large round table was set up in the middle, and more than a dozen people sat together eating and drinking, and it was obvious from the dress that they were two different organizations.

It is no wonder that everyone in Xining Village thought that Liu Ping'an was their guest, and there were a few people sitting in the guest seats wearing the same gray suits as Liu Ping'an. One of the middle-aged people in Eagle Eyes was obviously very alert, and when Liu Ping'an's gaze swept over his face, he actually seemed to react, and glanced this way. Liu Ping'an, who was frightened, quickly retracted his head and stopped looking.

This man is a master! If he really wants to do it tonight, it will be very troublesome.

The group of them enjoyed themselves and kept clinking glasses and talking loudly. From the compliments of Xining Village, Liu Ping'an learned that these guests were actually related to a high-ranking official surnamed Cao in the capital.

It's really ironic that the guards in the homes of high-ranking officials are actually distinguished guests of the bandit village. But it's normal to think about it again, since ancient times, there have been too many examples of officials and bandits in the same stream, especially those Beijing officials, many people at the feet of the Son of Heaven don't have much oil and water, how can they do it if they don't go out with their hands?

Liu Ping'an watched them eat and drink and was also aroused by their appetite, and for dinner was to buy some food on the way when Li Chunlan went back, and it was almost consumed all the way up the mountain.

At this time, suddenly there were several shouts from the door. Liu Ping'an looked through the window again, but it was Hu Sange and Li Thief'er, who were knocked out by them, who came back.

"Hu Laosan, why are you only coming back now? Didn't I tell you to go back to the mountain immediately after receiving the notice?" said a bearded man at the head of the table, obviously this is the person who spoke from Xining Village.

Hu Laosan waved at him and said, "I've seen the boss, we were delayed on the way so we came back late." I don't know what the boss has planned. I don't know for what reason, Hu Laosan and the others concealed the fact that they robbed a woman on the road and were knocked unconscious.

may be afraid that the boss will feel that the two of them are not capable after knowing it, which will affect their status in the cottage in the future. No matter what, Liu Ping'an was secretly happy, and he didn't have to worry about the revenge of the cottage. In fact, he was too careful, Hu Laosan and the others didn't see who did it at all, and they fainted in a daze.

"Okay, you've worked hard all the way, come over for a drink to relieve your fatigue. The boss motioned for the two subordinates around him to give way, and let Hu Laosan and the two sit over.

The boss poured a glass of wine for the two, and Hu Laosan and the two were immediately grateful. "Third child, this white master has something to ask the two of you, you just answer truthfully. ”

"The subordinates must know everything, and they must say everything!"

Bai Ye, a middle-aged man in the eagle eyes beside the boss, casually raised his glass to Hu Laosan and asked, "Boss Zhang said that the two of you have been in the town below the mountain all the year round, let me ask you if there have been two young people, one tall and one short, passing by in the past two days? The tall man has a knife on his back. ”

Liu Ping'an was shocked when he asked this, he was tall, bearded, short, and carried a knife on his back. These people can't be tracking the two of them, right?

Hu Laosan thought about it carefully, and before he could answer, Li Thief next to him replied: "I seem to have seen such two people in the town today, one tall and one short, and the tall man is carrying a knife on his back. Eat in the restaurant at noon. ”

They were looking for someone to steal the package in the restaurant, and they must have looked at all the guests in the restaurant, including Liu Ping'an.
