That night.
The snow began to fall overwhelmingly again.
The strong wind howled and slapped against the door and window somewhere, and the snapping sound was eerie and scary in the quiet night.
The whole letter fell into a deep sleep in darkness.
Two black shadows flew out from Xinyuan Escort Agency, their movements were elegant and light, and they disappeared into the night in an instant.
Two streets away from Xinyuan Escort Office, in the three lanes and seven lanes, the houses at the end of the lanes lit up like bean lights.
The shadow climbed over the wall and rushed straight into the main room. After landing on the ground, they both smiled and looked at the old man who had been waiting here for a long time. His hair and shoulders were still stained with broken snow brought from outside.
The door of the hall was ajar, and the old man immediately cried and hugged this one and that one, "Smelly boy, stinky girl, you are all gone. Do you know how bored the old man is at home? He is still angry! He is also bullied! Grandpa, I took a small notebook. Yes, let’s take revenge when we get back! Bai Xiaofeng has been marked down by me more than a dozen times, so when we get back, I’ll stick a beard on his face first!”
Bai Yu pulled out three low stools from the wall and took Tianbao and the old man to sit down. He smiled sullenly and said, "Okay, let's glue the beard on the godfather first, and then glue the rat whiskers on the beard."
The old man squinted his triangular eyes and twirled three tufts of hair at the corners of his mouth, "This is a great plan!"
There was a faint smile on Tianbao's face. He reached out and pinched the beard at the other corner of the old man's mouth, and pulled it, "It's very tight."
"Can it be unfastened? The wind is blowing in the cold winter months. I can't go out and blow my beard away as soon as the wind blows. Wouldn't it reveal my secret?" The old man hummed, then stood up and took off the cloth bag leaning on the wall, and removed it from the inside. He took out a few medicine bottles and stuffed them into their hands. "In order to come to see you, grandpa combed his hair that he hadn't combed in decades, and there was no place to hide the medicine. I'm really not used to carrying a broken bag! I know Tianbao is lazy. , it’s not convenient to make your own medicine outside, so I specially made some medicine to stop bleeding, heal wounds, and detoxify on the way, bring it with you just in case, and hide it so that no one finds it.”
The boy and girl looked at the old Taoist priest with his bun, and after a moment, they both turned their heads and laughed sullenly.
Poison does not invade, "..." Are you laughing? He himself was not very used to it, and his forehead always felt cold when he combed his hair.
"In the past few months that you have been away, Bai Xiaofeng has been collecting news about your current situation. Su An has traveled half of Vietnam in the past few months, and also helped the 12th Pier to win the Jiannan Road route. The bearded man is very happy He had to show off when meeting people, as if Xiao An was his own son. Su Wen was not bad either. He was admitted to Xuzhou Bailu Academy. Half a month after entering, he won the favor of Pang Yinbo, a great scholar in the academy, and became his favored disciple. Su Wu had a great time. The most cool and unrestrained, he hits wherever he goes, his nose is bruised and his face is swollen every day, and he recruits people to challenge him everywhere. The more frustrated he is, the braver he becomes, and hey, he has made a large group of friends in the world with his fists and straightforward temperament."
Sitting down again, the old man babbled and spoke very quickly, telling everyone about the current situation in the family, "Your Uncle Duandao is still in Changjing, and collecting evidence of the Dog Emperor's crimes has not been smooth, but he has made contact with his old subordinates. The Yuan Jiajun is the Yuan Jiajun, and the loyal ones are their generals... By the way, that boy Wei Li returned to Changjing and was granted the title. Now he is Major General Dingyuan, the fifth rank. He was left to serve in the capital by the Dog Emperor, and he was appointed as the Cavalry Capital. Wei. Duandao and him also got together."
Bai Yu and Tian Bao looked at each other and were not too surprised when they heard the news that Uncle Broken Knife and Wei Li had reunited.
The two of them had expected it when they heard the news about Wei Li at the teahouse in the border town.
It's just that the emperor actually kept Wei Li in the capital and didn't let him continue to return to Yanxia Pass. This was something the two of them didn't expect.
"It seems that the emperor is not suspicious of Wei Li." Bai Yu said.
Tianbao lowered his eyes, "There is more than one family with the surname Wei in the world. The emperor killed everyone in the Wei family and was suspicious. However, because of this, he did not expect that the descendants of the Wei family would dare to appear in front of him with this surname. On the contrary, it could eliminate his doubts. .”
Bai Yu scratched his lips, "Speaking of which, what is Wei Li's real name?"
The girl looked at him, "Is it important?"
"That's not true, I'm just curious." Bai Yu didn't dare to argue with his senior sister, looking through the crack in the door at the dark night outside, "Xinyuan Escort Bureau also has guards patrolling the courtyard at night. We shouldn't be out for too long, for fear of being noticed. Sweet. Bao, we need to go back."
"Okay, let's go." Although the old man Du was reluctant to give up, fortunately, he also received the letter and it was easy to meet the two children. "On weekdays, I set up a stall near the bun shop to read photos. You guys come and buy more. steamed stuffed bun!"
"For those who don't know, I thought you always opened the bun shop." Bai Yu teased, before the old man could kick him, he pulled Tianbao and flew away.
After the child left, the old man turned off the lights and closed the door, with a smile on his face.
Hey, I can finally sleep well.
Anyway, the time I spent in Xindu was not short. When I woke up, I went to check out the places and see which one was good.
Hahahaha!
Early the next morning, Tianbao got up early as usual to buy steamed buns for Miss Miao. When passing by the fortune-telling stall at the entrance of the alley, he gave the old Taoist priest, who was shivering from the cold, a meat bun.
After returning to the Escort Bureau to have breakfast, a summons came from the front hall.
When Tianbao and Bai Yu arrived, the escorts were already gathered in the front yard of the escort agency.
The head of the escort agency and the chief escort chief stood on the steps entering the hall, their hands behind their backs and their expressions solemn.
"The Xinyuan Escort Bureau has just received a commission. We need to deliver a batch of items to Mo Mansion in Sizhou, Dayue." The boss, Miao Zheng, is in his forties. Although he is dressed as a scholar, he does not conceal his majesty and sharpness, and his eyes are sweeping. There was a heavy sense of oppression, "This transportation needs to cross the border, and Sizhou is southwest of the Yudu Ancient Road in Dayue, and the Thirty-Three Peaks of the ancient road are the only way for us to pass on this trip. The road is winding and difficult, and there are many horse bandits and risks. Very high. But since the escort has been accepted, the task must be completed. This time the escort will be led by the chief escort, and thirty escorts will accompany him, and the newcomers of the escort agency will also go with them to experience, and they are not allowed to shirk it for any reason!"
The escort below responded loudly, "But follow the orders of the master!"
Tianbao was poked on the back of his hand. It was Bai Yu: Look, here we go, cannon fodder.
Tianbao's eyebrows twitched slightly: "The head escort is leading the team, behave well."
The newcomers to the escort agency have no right to know what the items are to be escorted. All they have to do is follow the team and obey.
The escort team was quickly equipped and just waiting to set off.
At the end of the team, a 28-year-old girl in a green coat and a luxurious rabbit fur cape stood in front of Xu Yang, pouting and stamping her feet, "Do you have to go? It's freezing and snowy in the cold winter, and you're going to such a dangerous place... …I’ll go tell dad to let you stay!”
Xu Yang stopped her and said, "Qing... Senior sister, no. All newcomers to the escort agency need experience. I also want to go out and experience it. Besides, with the chief escort here, what is a group of gangsters? We will be back soon." "
"Then it's agreed that when you come back, I'll take you to my horse farm to ride horses!"
"good."
The girl then turned to smile and glanced at the thin girl standing on the other side of the team. She let out a cold snort and deliberately raised her voice, "It's a pity that all the newcomers have to go out this time, so I have to have fewer dogs." I’m just running errands to buy steamed buns.”
