Heroes of the Fantasy World

Chapter 266 Are you really a fool?Fake prodigal son!
(6)

The wide streets and narrow alleys gradually become silent, and the night wind blows the sand and mud on the road, covering up the footprints and ruts left on the ground.The closed door, solemn guards, faintly visible street lamps, and the fragrance of the colorful flower fields outside the town faintly pass through the nose. This is the night of Woye Town.In addition to monotony, the tranquility is intoxicating.

Earlier, before the curfew started, Murong Yan took off the brass bell tied to her ankle and tied it to Bai Feng again. At the same time, as a promise, she said: "Let me look at the gate, and Brother Feng will leave it to you." Go to the top of the roof and look at the hidden places of the side doors, if something happens at that time, just listen to the bell and act."

Bai Feng originally thought that Murong Yan came here because she was playing for fun, but she didn't know that she had a plan, so she refused to shirk repeatedly, saying that she didn't dare to let the other party take risks alone.

But Murong Yan said: "Don't underestimate me. When it comes to the ability to 'sense danger', Yan'er is much better than Brother Feng! Anyway, how you and Mr. Su monitored and tracked, we will follow suit .”

In a few words, Murong Yan acted both soft and hard, which made Bai Feng helpless. The young swordsman quickly chose to compromise and expressed his willingness to follow orders.

They quickly separated in front of Tong's Mansion, Murong Yan lived in the stable they had arranged long ago, dressed as a stable boy; Bai Feng took the opportunity to sneak up on the roof and crawl to stand firm.

There are a total of eight horses in this stable, and there are three stablemen in total. Bai Feng and Su Qingzao secretly communicated with one of the stablemen, borrowing his identity for a few days, and the rest of the stablemen followed suit. , Turning a blind eye to it all the way.

In this way, Bai Feng, Su Qing and others were able to lie in ambush in the stables of the Tong Mansion for many days without being noticed.For this reason, it is not unusual for the other two horsemen to have a new and unfamiliar face appearing in the stable.

The two horsemen just took turns to greet Murong Yan, and soon two of them did the work of three of them, feeding the horses, picking manure, arranging hay, sweeping the ground and other heavy tasks without missing a beat... Occasionally someone passed by During the inspection, they did not forget to throw a broom to Murong Yan, reminding her to be careful of her whereabouts, and quickly grabbed the broom to do things.

Murong Yan sat on the half-wet and half-dry straw mat, carefully looking at the front of Tong's Mansion through a few fences.I saw people coming and going at the gate of Tong's house, most of them were messengers, and no suspicious person of noble status passed by, which showed that Tong Yao, who was drunk and fainted, had indeed stayed in the mansion to rest.

But after a while, she immediately denied this idea in her heart, thinking: "How can a person who never forgets to cover up when he is having a good time, be so careless, and choose to go out in a big way in the middle of the night when there are no people? It must be more to confuse the public with the appearance of a pompous and dandy!"

Just thinking about it, Murong Yan began to pay more attention to those messengers and messengers in ordinary clothes. After waiting for about three sticks of incense, she finally made a new discovery.

I saw this Xianbei witch suddenly sitting upright, her eyes closed slightly, thinking about something in her heart.When I was young, there was a crisp bell sound of "jingle, jingle, jingle" coming to my ears.

Bai Feng leaned over and lowered his eyebrows, looked left and right, and after making sure that no one was checking around, he slipped into the stable to meet Murong Yan.As soon as he met the other party, the young swordsman immediately looked around, fearing that Murong Yan had just suffered any harm, he asked with concern: "Yan'er, were you calling me just now? I put the bell on my palm and it was still ringing." ..."

"That's right, idiot!" Murong Yan complained seemingly without meaning, "Look at that group of people, don't you think it's strange?"

Bai Feng looked in the direction pointed by the other party, and sure enough, he found a group of people dressed as envoys walking away on royal horses.

"It doesn't matter whether they are messengers or emissaries, they come here in the middle of the night to pass orders, but they can still walk back leisurely? Then why do they go all night without sleep!" Murong Yan said with a confident smile: "Tong Yao, it must be among them!"

Bai Feng was overjoyed, couldn't help but patted Murong Yan on the shoulder, and praised like a brother: "Brother Murong, you are really resourceful! Let's go, we will follow!"

After speaking, the stableman who was still working in the stable watched the two go out, and disappeared into the long night with a few crisp and delicate bells.

The people dressed as envoys were all riding tall horses: three of them were dressed in military uniform and held torches to lead the way, while the other three were dressed as literati and merchants wrapped in headscarves and lightly dressed in cloth shoes, holding three wooden boxes in their hands.

The pair of heroes followed far behind the team. They encountered guards patrolling several times on the road, and they were lucky to escape. Before they knew it, they followed the messengers to a place where various kinds of shabby houses were built.

It seems that it has not been rebuilt after being destroyed by the war, and it also seems that the people's settlement has just risen-everything is very simple.

The thatched huts without half the roof, and the earthen walls that are still barely standing with a few big holes, these two are everywhere here, and what those envoys did was to knock on the door of each house, quietly. Send the money in silently.

This prescription is very large, almost occupying the entire XC area of ​​Woye Town, next to the West Town Gate, so the work of the envoys often lasted all night without stopping.

Bai Feng and Murong Yan couldn't believe what they saw at first, until they saw someone refusing to take the money and denounced the group of messengers as "murderers", they gradually understood the reason of the incident.

"It's all you who caused my husband's death and my son's death! Now, do you still have the face to come to see me?"

"Yinzi, can silver be exchanged for human life?"

"When will this endless war end?"

In the exhausted complaints, the three envoys wrapped in turbans still distributed the "pension money" silently, as if they had long been used to this situation. Fortunately, most people were very willing to accept the money.

However, when the six-member team came to a certain house, one of the men wearing a turban suddenly left the team and lingered alone in front of the door for a long time. When a young woman opened the door, he hurried forward to present the money. Silver, and pleaded again and again.

"Please accept it, Miss Xia!"

"General Tong, please don't do this again! In a few months, the Tong Mansion will find out that General Tong is paying the army privately... Besides, you won't be able to last long on your own."

As soon as the words fell, the young woman retreated into the threshold and closed the door, whispered a few more words through the door, Tong Yao listened for a while, and couldn't help covering her face and weeping silently, kneeling in front of the door, Beating one after another to vent the resentment in his heart.

All this was witnessed by Bai Feng and Murong Yan.After Tong Yao's mood eased and he got on his horse and walked away, the two of them came to the room out of curiosity just now, trying to find out who could make such a rough man so sad.

At the same time, the sound of locomotives in the house and the sound of the baby crying, mixed with the coughing of the old woman, reached their ears. This reality seemed to tell them: "There is a strong woman here, look for it." Self-reliance."

After a while, Bai Feng and Murong Yan gave up the idea of ​​disturbing other people's lives, and planned to visit each other the next day.
