"Yeah." Wan Datou frowned and nodded. He felt deeply helpless towards Haibawang. That man was not very good in Pingcheng. Unexpectedly, he became a different person when he fell into their hands, as if he had escaped. As if he was restrained, it was so fierce that he was knocked down with one punch. Although he created a lot of benefits for the gambling house, Wan Datou felt a deep sense of crisis. He didn't know whether it was right or wrong to keep him. .
Several people were discussing as if no one was around, but little did they know that everything they said was heard clearly by the people on the roof. The person who came was seen calmly, lying down quietly and blending in with the sky. He lay firmly. Up there, even though the tiles had become slippery and cold due to the dripping snowflakes, even though the falling snow from the sky fell on his back and melted, and the cold snow wet his clothes, and even though the wind was biting, he was still there. He stayed still and listened carefully until the woman in the room below re-entered, and there was a sound of singing and dancing, and then he quietly retreated.
There was no trace when he came, and there was no trace when he left. The place where he lay was covered with snowflakes again, the sky and the earth were the same color, silent, as if this person had never appeared before.
At the same time, in a wine shop far outside Hanguang Town, several people entered the guest room behind the wine shop. Shopkeeper Wu and the boys in the shop bought a few braziers for the house to provide heat, and smiled while taking the reward money. I went out happily.
The door closed, and the two people who always wore hats took off their cloaks, suddenly revealing the beautiful people inside. It was Xiao Ming and Jiang Xiangyuan who had rushed over overnight, not to mention the others. The leader was Shi Ting. Yu, Xia Xiaoba, Zhuang Ming, and six of Shi Tingyu's guards, Xia Yi to Xia Qi.
Several people's faces were full of weathered colors, their lives were at stake. They rushed all the way, and finally arrived here at noon today, and got on the carriage that had been prepared by the Sihai Escort Agency here, and loaded up the caravan. Xiao Ming took action to change the makeup of several people, leading to the scene in the wine shop just now.
Not only Shi Tingyu's makeup changed, but Xiao Ming and Jiang Xiangyuan also dressed up in men's clothing and applied medicine on their faces to make their faces sallow, making them look like malnourished young people.
Xia Xiaoba carefully tore off the black birthmark on his face. This was given to him by Xiao Ming. He didn't know what material it was made of. It was so black that it really looked like a natural birthmark when it was attached to his face. It's so useful. In line with the principle of recycling, he put it in his arms and replaced the heavy gold-inlaid jade belt on his waist. He couldn't praise this thing. It was heavy and uncomfortable, and it was difficult to move. He was always worried about losing the gold ingot he won, but according to Xiao Ming's words, he had to be handsome and coquettish when he appeared, so he endured it, thinking that just now in the wine shop, he kicked off the wooden door with a hammer. , the strength made him feel free and heroic. The eyes of those people were all attracted by his belt. They were all like wolves and tigers, dripping with laughter, as if they wanted to eat him. He smiled unkindly. .
Xia San sneaked in from the door: "There is someone guarding us outside the door." It seemed that they had been successfully targeted.
"Don't worry about him." Shi Tingyu said, twisting a towel in the basin and handing it to Xiao Ming. His movements were natural and casual, and the others were already accustomed to his behavior.
After half a month of running on the road, Xiao Ming followed everyone's team along the way. Although she didn't show it on her face, Shi Tingyu still saw Xiao Ming's forbearance, and in her heart she admired and pitied her. In just half a month, Xiao Ming's figure became thinner, and the baby fat she had built up disappeared.
In fact, it was not only Xiao Ming who lost weight, but also Jiang Xiangyuan. Because Jiang Xiangyuan, who was worried about her brother Jiang Sihai along the way, was even more emaciated than Xiao Ming, and looked haggard. Unfortunately, in Shi Tingyu's eyes, she could only see what was in front of her. Xiao Ming, he would not be able to see other people even if they were reduced to pieces of paper.
"The fish is caught." Xia Xiaoba said happily. It seemed that he performed well today and successfully attracted others' attention.
"I don't know how my eldest brother is doing." Jiang Xiangyuan said sadly, always worried about the safety of her eldest brother Jiang Sihai.
"Don't worry, little sister, big brother will be fine." One-eyed Zhuang Ming comforted him, but unfortunately his comfort was even more feeble. Even he himself didn't believe it. They had tried their best to catch up since receiving the news. To this place, messages and orders kept coming out along the way, causing the escort agencies from all over the country to quickly combine their manpower and rush to the northwest for support. If anything happened to the eldest brother and the second brother, he would turn the entire northwest upside down, kill his enemies with his own hands, and slaughter his entire family. .
The three sworn brothers met at a time of danger and worked together through the most difficult and painful years. They were not like biological brothers, but even lived side by side.
The brothers from the Northwest Branch were inquiring all the time, and news kept coming to them on their way here. Huangtian paid off. Before they arrived at Hanguang Town, the murderer had already been found. He was a group of bandits from Hanguang Town. , the head of the family was surnamed Tu. After the Shi family retreated to the northwest, this surnamed Tu emerged and grew rapidly. He took over the town and became the king. He blatantly robbed merchants, not only Jiang Sihai's caravan, but also several Large caravans were not spared either.
Jiang Sihai escaped with serious injuries and disappeared. Shi Dahe was captured and forced to fight for life and death in a gambling house. The Sea Overlord, who had won ten games in a row, had a great reputation.
Compared to his missing eldest brother, Shi Dahe is fine for the time being, but his life is in the hands of others, and his life is in danger at any time. The brothers in the branch watched their second-in-command die several times in the ring, but they were unable to do anything. The casino was heavily guarded. , strict checks were conducted on people entering and exiting, and nothing except money was allowed to be brought in. Therefore, they were single and weak, so they could only act in a hurry.
There was news from Shi Dahe, but there was still no news from Jiang Sihairen. The northwest was bitterly cold and there was a huge sea of people. Where would they go to find a seriously injured person.
"Brother Jiang will be fine." Xiao Ming looked at the sad Jiang Xiangyuan and could only hold her hand to comfort her and give her strength. Little did she know that, like Zhuang Ming, this comfort was equally pale and weak.
Xia Er and Xia Si stood at the window and were on guard. Several people in the room were infected by Jiang Xiangyuan's sad atmosphere and remained silent. Suddenly, there was a noise at the window where Xia Er was sitting, and Xia Er gently propped up the window. Standing up, a figure quickly got in.
The person who came was Scarface, with a pair of big and shockingly ugly eyes. Isn’t it the Scarface who was so ugly in the wine shop at night that people would doubt their life? It’s just that Xiao Ming, Shi Tingyu and others saw Scar’s ugly face. There was no surprise on his face, let alone fear. Xia Xiaoba was even more happy.
"Fifth brother is back." Xia Xiaoba shouted in joy.
Fifth brother? Xia Wu? Scarface, this is just the masterpiece of Xiao Ming. In addition to being a doctor, Xiao Ming is also a very good makeup artist. She used her special medical skills to dress up Xia Wu and outline a realistic scar on her face. His eyes were made one big and one small. Under her handiwork, Xia Wu became extremely ugly, to the point where both humans and gods were angry. Shi Tingyu and others were shocked. I really didn’t expect such a magical operation, even if it was An and Xia Zhongquan may not be able to recognize this man as their son.
Make-up artist’s magic hand, if you are so ugly, it’s natural to be ugly. Although you are ugly, you can blend in with the crowd better. Just imagine what an ugly person can do? Fierce and ugly people can be seen everywhere in the Northwest, a place with strong folk customs. Compared with them, Xia Wu is just a little uglier. Ugliness and ruthlessness are Xia Wu's characteristics. Such a person makes people focus on him. There is no doubt in one's face, so this is called hiding from the world.
As the saying goes, knowing yourself and the enemy means you can fight a hundred battles without danger. In order to get more information, Xia Wu was one step ahead of them and traveled to the northwest overnight to get information.
Xia Wu did not change his disguise, but after reporting the information he gathered to Shi Tingyu, he turned over and entered the dark night. It was freezing and snowy, and he didn't know whether he was cold or not.
