With hope and courage in mind, Bai Feng and Murong Yan took the token given by Mrs. Xia and returned to Apollos to wait for the return of Su Qing and Zichai.
The information obtained by Su Qing and Zichai this time was no different from before. It was nothing more than that Tong Yao went somewhere to drink and cause trouble. If we only judge what he did during the day, then There is no more dandy bastard than him.
But now the facts are before them. Tong Yao is not just as profligate and uninhibited as he seems on the surface. What he does secretly is more like a responsible officer and a general who cares for his subordinates.
Murong Yan took out the token and told the whole story to Su Qing and Zichai who had just returned, which naturally surprised them both.
The huge contrast between Tong Yao's appearance and his duplicity is enough to make people suspicious. What's more, as a general of a well-known family, Tong Yao actually distributes the pension and rations in private, which has to make others worry.
The four of them gathered in a room and carefully analyzed Tong Yao's whereabouts over the past few days, and finally decided that they should avoid crowded restaurants and busy markets, and choose to meet Tong Yao in a few alleys near Tong's mansion.
It should be noted that such a meeting was destined to be secret and not allowed to be known to more people. Therefore, Apollos only thought that they were really going for a picnic and a walk, but he did not know that they were performing a secret mission. I gave the two young men a few silver ingots and asked them to have fun with the girls.
Apollos hopes to see two cheerful faces appearing in his paintings, because this is the temperament of the Central Plains nobles in his impression-no matter when and where they are, they are so proud, noble, and fair-skinned , slender eyebrows, plump figure, and thousands of years of cultural heritage are evident in every gesture.
This foreign businessman from the countries in the Western Regions would not have thought that his shallow understanding would soon be corrected. He deeply realized that if a country or civilization was full of such "nobles", it would definitely not last for thousands of years.
After a night's rest, Bai Feng and Su Qing, who had made up their plans, began to divide their forces into two groups early the next morning: Bai Feng and Murong Yan lurked around the Tong Mansion, while Su Qing and Zichai took shelter. Always pay attention to Tong Yao's every move in Ji Le Building.
Today, Tong Yao still woke up drunk among the women. He spent most of the day carefree, casually throwing a few pieces of silver into the hands of those who accompanied him to eat, drink and have fun, and then walked out surrounded by three or five servants. Outside the door, he was about to return home.
Seeing this, Su Qing planned to go back to Bai Feng to report the news, only to let Zichai follow Tong Yao. As soon as he left the Paradise Building, he immediately disappeared into the market, using his climbing and lightening skills to jump between the rooftops. After a while, they arrived at the meeting place.
The four of them plan to design a clever encounter so that Tong Yao can discover the location of the token on his own, and the person who takes on this important task is naturally Murong Yan, who has repeatedly accomplished extraordinary feats.
I saw this saintly lady curling up her hair, putting a hairpin in it, tidying up her appearance, and standing in a dark alley, waiting for an opportunity.
Just now, Zichai, who had been far away from Tong Yao and was quietly tracking Tong Yao, finally came to Su Qing. As soon as the two of them joined forces, Su Qing suddenly snatched away the other party's belongings and ran towards Tong Yao like crazy.
"Come here, there are thieves robbing!" Zichai shouted out of thin air immediately. At this time, she was still wearing men's clothes. She had just come out of Jile Tower. Her body was still full of the scent of tea, wine and powder, so even though she was running and chasing, she was a bit He was strangely shy, but he didn't arouse any suspicion. Others just thought he was a drunkard who had just gone on a promiscuous journey.
Su Qing passed by Tong Yao like a whirlwind, took the jade pendant from Tong Yao's waist, and walked away.
At first, the boys beside Tong Yao thought it was an inadvertent collision, until Zi Chai pounced on them, grabbed their clothes and begged: "Please, help me chase the bad guy in front of me back. This little thief robbed me." my money!"
Tong Yao drowsily touched his belt and crotch, and found that something was indeed missing. He immediately ordered: "Catch me, bring it back!"
In an instant, there was only one boy left there, still supporting Tong Yao as he walked leisurely. Seeing the pitiful appearance of the little brother next to him, Tong Yao couldn't help but cursed in his mouth: "What kind of world is this... If you dare to snatch anything in front of me... Catch him and beat him with a hundred military sticks!"
Before he finished speaking, a young girl hurriedly walked out of the alley beside Tong Yao. He couldn't avoid it and collided with her. Tong Yao's figure is not particularly tall, but he is by no means thin. His thick and plump figure gives him a stable center of gravity, so much so that Murong Yan fell to the side of the road as if she had hit a stone wall, and the silver hairpin in her hair also It fell to the ground, and a long dark hair shawl fell down.
Just as Tong Yao was about to apologize, his eyes were blinded by a silver hairpin. He hurriedly helped the girl up and asked gently: "Sister Xia, why are you... No, girl, are you okay?"
"Sir, I'm fine." Murong Yan knelt down and picked up the silver hairpin. She turned sideways and tied her hair up again so that Tong Yao could see it clearly.
"This...this silver hairpin, where did the girl get it?"
"It's a friend. She is very kind. Seeing that the little girl was lonely and helpless, she gave me this silver hairpin and asked me to find you, Master Tong."
"No, this thing was made by me and my best friend. How could she give it to others so easily?"
Before Tong Yao could straighten his mind, Murong Yan immediately explained: "It was Mrs. Xia who asked us to come. She is worried about Master Tong every night."
"This..." Tong Yao patted his head hard, as if he understood what he said, and immediately ordered the only boy beside him: "Go to the front and see if the little thief has been caught. "
The boy was suspicious for a moment, then realized that he had no vision, and left quickly.
Murong Yan then turned into an alley with Tong Yao to continue the secret meeting, with Zi Chai following behind. But after a moment, the figure of a young swordsman slowly appeared in this dark and obscure alley.
Bai Feng came to Tong Yao, bowed to him and said in respect, "I've admired him for a long time, General Tong."
"Don't you know the young master's name?"
"Bai Feng, a member of Yuyi Town. I heard that General Tong has been in some trouble recently, so we came here on the order of Mr. Zhao."
Tong Yao was shocked and replied: "Is Mr. Bai talking about Zhao Kuo? Humph, even so, how can you help me?"
Murong Yan responded from the side: "General Tong, you don't have to believe us, but can you believe the owner of this 'Swallow Tail Silver Hairpin'?"
"This matter... is a long story, and I can't go into details here." Tong Yao stared at the mysterious woman in front of him with a wary look on his face, and said, "If you are really capable, go to the 'Colorful Flower Field' outside the town at this time tomorrow to find some Let me do it!"
After finishing speaking, Tong Yao left with a puff of sleeves. The remaining three people looked at each other for a while, and then returned to the caravan one after another.
