Even though it was so noisy downstairs, it didn't affect the person who was as tense as a bow string in the middle of the night and immediately recognized that the knocking on the door was coming from next door.
Next door is naturally Jiang Zhongli’s room. Naturally, some people didn't believe that it was such a coincidence that it was the sneaky He Zimen escort. Ye San suppressed the curiosity in his heart to go and see what happened. As soon as he turned around, he saw Ye Xiayou and Yi coming over.
The whole inn is filled with the smell of smoke, and the hearing is different from ordinary people. It is impossible to have a good rest after making such a big noise.
There was another gentle knock on the door in the next room, presumably because no one opened the door. Then footsteps sounded suddenly, stopping at the door of his room, and the knocking on the door started again.
After closing the slightly closed window and pushing Ye Xieyou behind him without opening his mouth, Ye Sangen first asked who it was.
"Third Young Master, there is a fire in the fodder yard. My bodyguard leader asked me to tell you to pay attention to safety." The voice was familiar, it was the sneaky bodyguard.
I don't know if He Jinsuo asked him to come over in the middle of the night. I just saw this escort who definitely had evil intentions gather everyone in the escort agency together and then left the backyard on his own. He said something to these people and left. Even at such a long distance, no matter how powerful you are, you can't hear clearly.
No matter what the other party's intention was, out of politeness, he still said politely in the middle of the night: "Thank you for my escort, Mr. He, don't worry about me." Immediately afterwards, the hurried footsteps of the escort departed.
"What's going on?" Ye Xiayou asked. After listening at the door to make sure there was no one outside, he finally said in the middle of the night: "Someone is setting fire." After all, they were siblings from the same mother-in-law. They all had the same idea. With a head of white hair that was still eye-catching in the dark night, Ye Xia You couldn't help but said with a smile: "Are you in trouble again?"
"No matter how bad your luck is, you have to ask someone to take a break." Ye San said angrily,
"If you can figure it out, you can also calculate whether we didn't look at the almanac when we went out this year. Do we have to make up for everything?"
"What are you talking about?" Ye Xiayou raised his hand and gave his brother a headache.
"No one expects anything to happen to him." General Ye San Geng said: "This time it should have nothing to do with us, and it should be directed at He Zimen."
"A robber?" Ye Xiayou sneered,
"Are you going to take a few carts of wood and build a house?" Ye Xiayou chuckled twice in the middle of the night at Ye Xie You's joke. This was not funny at all.
Immediately, he told what happened in the courtyard, and even told the three escorts from He Zimen that he met in the afternoon.
The night is far away and I am stunned,
"Isn't this really coming for us?" Ye San was even more puzzled.
"It's obviously aimed at those carts of peach wood. What does it have to do with us? If it's really targeting us, just come to us directly. Burn the hayyard, turn over the escort carts, and attack the east and the west? Is there any need to do all this useless work? "Ye Xiayou curled his lips and said, "How are you sure they are not looking for Luan Hu?" Ye San was even more stunned. What Ye Xiayou said seemed to make sense.
In the past half a month, after leaving Phoenix City, I didn't have the nerve to go to Zhuzhai Village. Although it is not clear what the general's intentions were when he hid in the village for several years, in order to catch the big fish for a long time, it has become a situation where both of them know it well but do not clarify it with each other.
Especially every time they think of Ergou and Dasha, who laughs every time he talks, because he has been so offended, the siblings feel uncomfortable. Putting aside the purpose of the general's order, at least in the case of the stubborn sister, The two brothers thought about it, weren't they the two of them who were responsible for breaking the peaceful life in the village?
After leaving Phoenix City, under Ye Xie You's arrangement, the two of them first made a long circle all the way south, then climbed the Qinling Mountain Road and headed north before returning to the official road back to Beijing. What a coincidence, that is, on April 5th, The day before, I met He Zimen Escort who had escorted Tao Muxi all the way from Qianfeng City, Yanzhou, Henan Province, near Tongguan.
Knowing the rules of the escort bureau, Ye Mingeng joined the team heading to Beijing after chatting with the escort leader He Jinsuo for a few minutes. Without him, after all, this was transporting what the court needed, so it would naturally save a lot of trouble in the past, including customs clearance and interrogation. There are many unexpected inconveniences on the road, so there is no need for the two of us to show up too much.
As for his own sword master, Luan Hu, this already dazzling weapon was cleverly evaded by Ye Xiayou in a few words and was hidden in the carriage.
The reason is naturally easy to find. Just say that it was for self-defense when going out. The saying that Jianghu children have their own Jianghu children will not arouse too much suspicion. He Jinsuo, who has been following his father as a escort for many years, naturally did not have any suspicion at the time.
But now that I think about it, if someone really recognized the two of them, they wouldn't be fooled by Ye Xiayou's few words.
After all, this Fuying person who made enemies of Yue was as easy as turning over his hand in disguise.
But if you think about it carefully, in order to hide their eyes from others, the two of them had been going around in a big circle during this period. They were always vigilant in the middle of the night and there were no evil people who could arouse suspicion when they met around them. , how could it be for the two of us?
Is there really someone so unscrupulous about a luminous monument? The fodder in the post house was burned at will. If we really need to investigate, it is a crime of beheading.
Ye Xiayou said again: "During the day, you still advise people not to let down their guard at all times. I think you may not be slacking off." Ye Xiayou still didn't take it seriously, but in his heart, he felt that Ye Xiayou was a little too cautious. , if it was really for him, then why did the escort leave after just asking?
Unable to hear Ye San Geng's words, Ye Xia said: "Why don't you go and have a look?" Ye San Geng waved his hand quickly,
"Don't worry, I'll go back to Beijing safely and don't dare to cause any trouble." Not knowing whether to laugh or praise his brother for being so cautious, Ye Xiayou sighed and said: "The road is rough..." Ye Sangen interrupted rudely. He said: "The knife is on your bedside, you can't pull it out if you love it." After saying that, he ignored Ye Xiayou, sat back at the table, and complained: "You just opened your mouth and said it lightly, I did all the life-threatening things, Biguan The masters are all majestic, but those who grow food are starved to death and exhausted from running errands." Ye Xiayou laughed out loud,
"This sentence also says at the end of the day, suffering is a blessing." Even in the middle of the night, he still shook his head.
"Can you let me go back to the capital with all my arms and legs? Let's just stop for a while and don't worry about these nonsense. It's just a load of wood. If something goes wrong, if you really have this intention, it's easier to go to the capital to find some connections. I'm strong." Ye Xiayou curled his lips, his younger brother thought of everything so lightly.
If he really wants to go back to Beijing, should it be as easy as he thought?
"You really don't want to go?" Ye Xia asked with a smile.
"I won't go." Ye San Geng said firmly.
"It's good to go talk to someone and explain things. After all, after getting along for a few days, I just want you to introduce me to a wife."
"You can pull me down, I'm just a puppy."... At midnight, I didn't know whether I was a puppy or not. I had agreed to leave early the next morning and no longer go with this group of people. However, Ye Xiayou was lying on the bed with his arms stretched out and couldn't wake up, which made Ye Xiayou a little older than him.
It's definitely not because he didn't sleep well last night. Ye Xia, who has an extremely regular schedule, will not delay waking up on time the next day no matter how late he sleeps.
This is obviously intentional. It wasn't until three o'clock in the morning. Because we had to put out the fire last night, it was a little late inside and outside the post house.
Song Shu, who was still in the escort agency, came to knock on the door very politely and asked about the meal and the departure time. Ye Xiayou, who had rolled over and got up, very politely told the honest man to get over it now.
This made me feel very uncomfortable in the middle of the night until I hit the road. It's obvious that he just wants to take care of this kind of business again.
Ye Xiayou, however, had an expression on his face that said he wanted to beat me no matter what, which made Ye San even more crazy. One hundred and fifty miles further west is Xibo, the heart of the Zhou Dynasty, renamed Chang'an. There are obviously many more travelers and officials coming and going along this road than in previous days.
The bustle in the world is all for benefit, and the hustle and bustle in the world is all for benefit, nothing more than this. A group of more than 30 people set off in a mighty manner. At the forefront were still He Jinsuo and Xue Badou. The layout of this escort team was the traditional way. The leader of the escort was in the front line, and one escort led two The executioners were in a team, each holding a cart, and finally followed by a team to press the formation. There were also generalists like Song Shu to provide support in case of emergencies.
From this we can also see the prudent style of He Zimen Escort Agency. I still can't figure out why the escort with evil intentions came to knock on the door last night, and I can't figure out why Jiang Zhongli, the candidate who went to Beijing to take the exam, ignored him.
I just saw Jiang Zhongli with a pale face and no better energy than Xue Badou early in the morning. He was trembling and unsteady along the way, and even had to sit on the carriage. He was not as chatty as he was a few days ago. Yan is also very indifferent, and everyone knows that this scholar must have been frightened last night.
It was precisely because of this strange scholar's origin and behavior that he turned his attention to the three escorts and escorts in the middle of the night.
It's just that these three people were responsible for the final push today, and they were far behind, so Ye Sangen had to consider not to alert the enemy, and did not pay too much attention to the three people.
As for what happened last night, it was Ye Xia You who started the topic.
"There was a breach last night, did your escort bureau suffer any losses?" Xue Badou, who was more energetic than the previous days, was still brooding about being scolded yesterday and ignored it. He Jinsuo turned around in good faith out of politeness. He said: "There are not too many losses in the inventory." Ye Xia said insinuatingly: "He and the others are all old people in the escort agency?" I don't know why this young lady is so talkative today. After knowing the identity of these two people, He Jinsuo deliberately wanted to stay away from each other. Now he is a little conflicted. The most taboo thing about being an escort is to cause trouble without reason. The two siblings are now full of right and wrong. He Jinsuo doesn't want to get involved with outsiders. It affects one's own business.
But you can't just drive him away. This is also a taboo among escorts. In the world of martial arts, if you can help someone, you can help them. How can you take the initiative to make enemies on your own?
Therefore, I had originally ordered to go down and stay away from the siblings. After all, they had not interacted much with others on the way together in the past few days, but they never expected it. Today, they did the opposite, especially since they had been surrounded by people in the past few days. The mute woman in the curtain hat took the initiative to talk today, which made He Jinsuo a little at a loss.
Naturally, Ye Xiayou didn't know what the female escort leader was thinking. Without waiting for the other party to reply, she continued: "Last night, my brother saw something..." But before she could finish her words, Ye Sangen raised her hand to cover her mouth.
"Don't make trouble for me." Ye Sangen said angrily from behind.
"Can you let me live in peace?" Ye Xiayou opened his mouth and bit Ye Sangeng's hand. The latter quickly withdrew his hand in pain. Ye Xiayou said, "My brother saw someone touching your escort car." He Jinsuo couldn't help it anymore. Thinking about the irregularities and taboos of escorting, he turned his head in surprise.
"What did you say?" Ye Xiayou smiled under the curtain, ignoring her brother's small movements behind her back. She gently lifted the white gauze scarf with a meaningful smile on her lips.
"Promise me something and I'll tell you."
