Chapter 25: Keeping a low profile
The captain cushioned the silver in his hand and said, "If you are sensible, let's go!" But Hangzhou City is now mixed with clouds and dragons, and a big war is imminent, so be careful when you go out."
"Yes, yes, what the official taught is that the villain remembered"
The officers and soldiers left the next door and walked straight to Xie Tong's room.
Xie Tong's ears were sensitive, and the voice from the next room was particularly familiar to him, but he couldn't remember who it was, he could only tell himself that he must know this person.
The officers and soldiers kicked open Xie Tong's door, Yi Wuxing had prepared the silver in advance, and without waiting for the officers and soldiers to search, he hurriedly said, "Official, we are the dart master of the Xiangyang Yongan Dart Bureau, and we deliberately poured the Hangzhou guards, this is a little bit of the villain's heart." After that, he offered a piece of silver.
The captain of the official lord looked at this Yindian, which weighed five taels and said with a wicked smile, "Xiangyang is here, the distance is not close! Tell the official master, what kind of dart is it this time!"
Yi Wuxing has been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, and his experience is naturally very rich, so it is naturally more than enough to deal with this little minion, he smiled and said, "Official, this is better than asking!" He walked up to the official and leaned into his ear and muttered in his ear for a while.
The official's face immediately turned pale, and his speech was not fluent, and he said, "That, that, let's go, the two masters rest!"
Yi Wudaunt said, "Official, don't go next door, our bodyguard is next door."
The captain of the official was busy laughing and said, "This is natural", and after that, he didn't even go to the other rooms, and went straight downstairs.
Xie Tong was puzzled, "What did you say to him, you actually scared him like this!"
Yi Wudaunt sat down on the bed and said, "Aren't you going to fluctuate everything?
Xie Tong said: "Lao Tzu's exercises consume internal strength. How can you have the leisure to eavesdrop on these things, and tell them quickly."
Yi Daring Do finally couldn't help it. Smiled, "I told him that Bao's bodyguard is a woman, a beauty that His Holiness Dato' has collected from other places. dedicated to the Heavenly King Huang Chao, and also told him not to let the news leak out, if the Venerable knows, I am afraid that his life will not be guaranteed, and it will be even worse if Zhu Wen knows."
Xie Tong smiled dumbly and said, "You still have a lot of ghost ideas, so not only does he not dare to leak the news, but he also has to desperately protect us, if it is leaked, it is really a small life." ”
Yi Wudaunt said: "It's okay to be scared like this." Lao Tzu is most annoyed by these people who bully the people under the banner of searching. ”
Xie Tong suddenly raised a finger and motioned for Yi Wuxing not to speak. I only heard the door of the next room open, and a person hurriedly walked out.
Xie Tong said in a low voice, "I always feel that the person next door seems to be our acquaintance, and the voice is very familiar, but I can't guess who it is for a while?"
Yi Wuxing was surprised, "There is such a thing, I'll catch up with him and take a look!"
Xie Tong said, "There is not a person next door, big brother should be careful, in my opinion." Friend or foe. ”
Yi Wudaunt nodded, he pushed the door open, and gently followed.
After two hours, it was getting dark. Lao Lai and Huo Zixin took the lead in returning to the inn.
Huo Zixin rushed into the room with a big grin, took a big sip of the teacup, and even after two cups. He said, "I've been running all afternoon, I'm dying of thirst! It would be nice if there was a pot of wine."
Lai Lai closed the door. sat down next to Huo Zixin, picked up the teacup and drank it.
Wait for the two to drink tea. Hong Shancai asked, "Did you find anything?"
Lao Lai said slowly, "Two news, one good and one bad, which one to listen to first?"
Hong Shan rolled her moving eyes, spat out a few words from her mouth, and said, "Let's talk about the bad news first!"
Lao Lai looked at Huo Zixin, meaning to let him say.
Huo Zixin jumped up from the table and said, "Actually, it's not bad news, we turned around all afternoon, and met Shi Jingjiao outside the burned City Lord's Mansion, and he recognized him. ”
Hong Shan obviously didn't know who Shi Jingjiao was, she looked at Xie Tong blankly.
Xie Tong said simply, Shi Jingjiao was this person, and Hong Shan was terrified when he listened. She exclaimed, "What then!"
Xie Tong said, "Since the two brothers can come back safe and sound, I don't think it will be bad news." What did Shi Jingjiao say?"
Lao Lai said, "It was all my carelessness and was exposed by Shi Jingjiao." Hey, he warned us not to act rashly, let us leave Hangzhou as soon as possible, although there is an agreement with the Qing Sword, but if he is forced to hurry, he will not show mercy. ”
Xie Tong said, "This news is not too bad, so what is the good news?"
Huo Zixin smiled: "The good news is that we met Cai Wei, but he is with Shi Jingjiao. He paused, and added, "It looks quite intimate."
Xie Tong didn't make a sound, but sat down at the table dejectedly.
Hong Shan looked in her eyes, and she asked, "Where are they now?"
Lao Lai didn't expect that it was Hong Shan who asked the question, he smiled bitterly and said, "I knew that I would ask this question, our brother found out, and the two of them are in a compound in the east of the city at the moment." ”
Hong Shan looked at Xie Tong, Xie Tong didn't say a word, just pondered with his head bored, not knowing what he was thinking.
At this time, Yi Wudaunt also walked in from outside the door, and he gently closed the door. walked among the crowd and said with a smile, "This time Hangzhou City is lively, we actually have a lot of good friends."
"Good friend", Huo Zixin said, "What the hell is going on!"
Xie Tong knew that what he said was the opposite, and said, "It shouldn't be Cao Pingyang!"
Yi Wudaunt said, "Not only Cao Pingyang, the masters of the Sima family have come out of nowhere, in addition to Sima Xiangru, Zhen Yuanzi, Feng Wuhe and others, there are also the three masters of Da Nei, Tian Yuan, Mu Zong and Dongfang Yong, they are scattered in three places, and the next door is Cao Pingyang and Feng Wuhe."
Xie Tong gasped, he completely forgot Fang Cai's depression, and said, "With such a strong strength, it seems that they have the same goal as ours, but they can't let them succeed."
Huo Zixin said, "Since they are separated, it is better to clean up the two next door first and weaken their strength first." ”
Yi Wudaunt interrupted him and said, "Don't act rashly, although these two people can't defeat us, they can still escape." If we can't kill them, we'll miss our target, which will be extremely detrimental to our trip. ”
Lao Lai followed Yi Wudaunt's words and said, "Yes, but our advantage is that the other party doesn't know about our existence, so we can use them to make some fuss and create some situations, so that we can throw bricks and stones, ask for directions, and share our attention."
Xie Tong said, "This is very good, their strength is stronger than ours, we will definitely not be tough, as long as we hide behind their backs, we can save a lot of trouble! If necessary, we can reveal their whereabouts, so that we are relatively much safer." ”
Huo Zixin said angrily, "You are all monkey spirits, Lao Tzu has to worry about them."
Hong Shan was also amused by him, she turned around, took out a huge night pearl from the burden on the bedside, handed it to Xie Tong and said, "This is Cai Wei's girl's thing, I think we should solve Cai Wei's matter first, and calmly deal with the enemy!"
Everyone was touched by Hong Shan's open-mindedness, Xie Tong took the night pearl with mixed feelings and said, "Without further ado, let's go see her!" Shan'er, you go with me!"
Lao Lai said, "This is not appropriate, it is too dangerous for the two of you to go, so let Huo Xiaozi accompany you! ”
Huo Zixin said: "Why don't you have dinner! Lao Tzu is going to be hungry!"
After a few people hurriedly had dinner, Xie Tong and the three of them left the inn, and under the guidance of Huo Zixin, they came to Shi Jingjiao's temporary residence.
Thinking of Shang Caiwei and Shi Jingjiao's hot fight, Xie Tong's heart was very uncomfortable.
Shi Jingjiao's residence is very secluded, in a courtyard in the west of Hangzhou, the courtyard is not large, but it is very delicate from the outside. In this kind of situation of chaos and the pressure of large soldiers, Shi Jingjiao can still be treated like this, from this point of view, his status in Huang Chao's heart is extremely high.
The three of them climbed over the courtyard wall and stepped into this exquisite courtyard, Hong Shan exclaimed, "What a chic courtyard, even in Chang'an, it is difficult to find a courtyard with such a layout."
Xie Tong didn't speak, but released the fluctuation of all things, sensing everything that happened in the courtyard.
Surprisingly, although the courtyard was brightly lit, there were no guards, but there were bursts of piano sounds in the welcoming hall, and the sound of the piano was melodious, but it was extremely inconsistent with this stormy environment.
The three of them slowly approached the main hall, and the sound of the piano stopped abruptly in the middle of the song. I only heard Shi Jingjiao's hearty laughter in the hall, and said, "Miss Caiwei, I don't know how Jingjiao's song is played, whether it can enter the girl's eyes!"
Xie Tong said in his heart, Shang Caiwei is a rough person, where does she know what kind of rhythm, but it seems that Shi Jingjiao is very interested in Shang Caiwei, otherwise she would not have gone to great lengths to please her.
Cai Wei let out a silver bell-like laugh and said, "Brother Shi's song is like a giant eagle overlooking the earth, with the momentum of stormy waves, which opens the eyes of the little woman."
Xie Tong almost took a mouthful of old blood, Shang Caiwei knew it, a female snitch who was in the rivers and lakes, living a life of licking blood with a knife and trembling, how could she know so many noble and elegant things.
How do you know that Hong Shan said in a low voice: "Miss Caiwei is right, this Shi Jingjiao's piano skills are very high. As soon as she spoke, she saw that Xie Tong's face showed displeasure, and hurriedly explained, "Shan'er is just afraid that Miss Caiwei will be deceived by his superficial things!" She stretched out her small hand and held it on Xie Tong's broad palm.
Xie Tong only felt that his palms were hot, and his anger suddenly disappeared.
Huo Zixin couldn't look at it and said, "Trouble, can you pay attention to the occasion when the two of you are making out?"
Hong Shan withdrew her hand embarrassedly and said angrily, "It's all your fault!"
Huo Zixin said helplessly, "A pair is playing the piano in the hall and saying love, and the other pair is here to kiss me and me, Lao Tzu can't stand it, big brother, what are you waiting for, it's better to kill it now!
Xie Tong said in a low voice, "Don't be impatient, now is not the time to do it, Shi Jingjiao knows that we are coming to Hangzhou, of course we will not be unguarded, I'm afraid this is still a trap, waiting for us to take the bait, wait and see!" (To be continued.) )
