Chapter 7: Encounters are better than chance encounters
"The soldiers are divided into two ways!, how to divide them?" Ding Kun asked anxiously.
Jode looked at everyone's expressions, and finally said decisively.
"Who wants to take a trip to Songshan Manor?"
"Me!" said almost everyone with their hands raised.
"It's not yet time for the final battle with them, Songshan Manor only needs to go to one person, after all, their village is no better than other places, where there must be strict guards, and it is inconvenient if there are too many people. Qiu Dekai nodded, and said with a very relieved look, "If this person we sent can figure out the specific location of Wu Shuang in Songshan Manor, and figure out the route of our entry and exit, this is already a very great credit!"
"Then let me go!" "Write it off," Dugu Xue said resolutely.
"Yes," Qiu Dekai nodded solemnly and said, "The brothers here are also the best for you, and this operation is the most suitable for you!"
"Then I'll leave now!" Duguxue said.
"Be careful!" everyone said to him almost at the same time.
"Don't worry, I'll be back soon!" Duguxue said, pulling up the sleeves of her robe, pushing open the wooden lattice window sash, and jumping into the opposite street.
"Owner, what should we do now?" Ding Kun asked again.
"Let's go, let's go to the Baile Inn now!" said Jode, leading the way out of the guest door.
Seeing that the group of guests above finally walked down the stairs with a lazy step and a sleepy expression, Li Dulai was pleasantly surprised; this group of people was also the last group of guests to leave his restaurant tonight; there would have been fewer guests for today's holiday than usual, and they also planned to close the door early, after all, the family also wanted to have a lively Mid-Autumn Festival. However, the group of guests upstairs did not know each other, but they wanted to make their family frustrated.
Therefore, although it was already very late, Li Dulai's mood was still a little excited when he finally saw them come down, after all, this would not affect his normal sleep.
When he walked down the stairs, he saw the restaurant owner smiling and holding the bill, and there was a nameless fire in his heart; he suddenly had the feeling that the ultimate reason for their fruitless ambush tonight was the chubby face of the restaurant owner in front of him! You see how fake the smile on his face is, as if he is exposing his coveted desires to your pocket.
So, Qiu Dekai asked angrily.
"How much?"
"Not much, guest officer. Li Dulai's mouth smiled crookedly, "It's only sixty taels and five cents of silver!"
Suddenly, Li Dulai noticed that the faces of the imposing guests were very unsightly, and they seemed to tear him apart, but he was not afraid at all, because he was in his own home, which he considered the safest place.
Suppose that Li Dulai suddenly knew the details of this group of people, I am afraid that not only would he not be able to laugh, but he would even tremble, let alone think that only his own home was the safest place!
"What? Li Dulai saw the big fat man behind the black-faced man who was so vicious that he glared at him as if he was about to attack him and asked, "You robbed the money!"
Li Dulai was not afraid at all, because he had no fear in his own home, and he still smiled calmly.
"Ten dollars of silver for sea bass, six dollars and three pounds of silver for river mussels, and seven dollars and two cents of ......silver for yellow bone fish," he reads the dining bills to the guests.
He found that the crowd of guests grew angry at the sound of him reading the bills, which gave him an indescribable sense of pleasure, for the peaceful and cheerful festive atmosphere of his family had been ruined by these strange guests. And now, they are so angry that they are here to eat more money, how can this make him even more angry!
As a result, Li Dulai's enthusiasm for nodding his head suddenly turned into an arrogant and disdainful sneer; he thought: I am in my own home, and all the guys are ready to respond to every call, am I still afraid of you guests from other places!
"You want silver, don't you?" the fat man behind the big black man yelled again to interrupt his reading, "There are no doors!"
"Don't make a fuss!" At that moment, the black-faced man yelled at the fat man behind him, and said to the plump woman next to him, "Give it to him!"
Seeing this, Li Dulai was complacent, and a sense of victory welled up in his heart, and he took the handful of silver handed by the woman, and added an angry sentence with a smile.
"Wouldn't it be easier to give it early!"
Everyone was angry, no one said a word, and they all followed the black-faced man out of the gate in turn, like a gourd, and walked towards the moonlit street.
"Little Liuzi, it's closed!" Li Dulai deliberately shouted the name of the restaurant guy to the group of distant guests on the street, as if he was going to deliberately spread his cynical tone to the group of people who were far away.
At this time, the moon and stars in the sky are scarce, blue as day, and the moonlight on the streets is silent, and the festive atmosphere also enters the land of sleep with the children. Occasionally, the barking of dogs came from time to time in the distance, adding a lonely taste to the lonely city, and in the shadows of the house, there were two cheating night cats, who were appreciating the silence and serenity of the night in front of them, and suddenly they saw a group of seven people walking through the middle of the street, and they were talking as they went.
"The owner of the village, why didn't you let me lift their restaurant just now!" Bai Xiong listened to the arrogant shouting of the restaurant owner behind him, and he was angry.
So, Jode asked him a serious question.
"Are you here to lift the restaurant?"
After that, none of these people said anything, but judging from their aggressive steps, everyone's heart seemed to be suppressing a volcano that was about to erupt.
They finally walked out of this dead street, and the streets around the river in Luoyan City finally appeared in front of them, and they arrived at the Baile Bridge with a shot in sight, and the Baile Inn on the opposite side was also in sight.
At this time, Qiu Dekai suddenly stopped, and everyone stopped abruptly.
"That brother is going to the Baile Inn!" asked Jode.
"I'll go!" Wen Youji said in his deep voice.
"Hmm!" said Jodekai, "you go and inquire and see if Wu Shuang is at the Baile Inn!"
"Okay. ”
"Go and come back. ”
"Understood. While speaking, Wen Youji had already run away.
"Owner, aren't we going over?" asked Li Youcai.
"What did you do in the past!" said Jode quietly, "it's hard to deal with one, should we have to deal with two at the same time?"
"That's right, I heard that Deng Tianyuan's iron whip is also terrifying!" Ding Kun said.
"What the owner of the village means is that this bridge is the only way for Wu Shuang to return to Songshan Manor, if Wen Youji is sure that he is in Baile Inn later, we just need to wait for him here!"
Jode Kai just nodded and didn't speak.
After a while, Wen Youji ran back and brought back the festive news.
"Wu Shuang is really at Baile Inn, he and Deng Tianyuan are still drinking!" Wen Youji was excited.
Everyone's faces were smiling with joy.
Under the moonlight, Jude's black face slowly faced the direction of the Baile Inn, his eagle-like eyes radiated brilliance, and his words were cold and terrifying.
"Then hurry up and prepare!"
