Chapter 2464 Hidden dangers that cannot be eliminated (two chapters in one)
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, spent a lot of time earning that money. Thinking that if the city gate was not open today, his money would be in danger, he would inevitably feel a lingering fear in his heart.
"I'll stay for a while longer."
After thinking quickly, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead took out some money from his backpack and gave it to the waiter, asking him to help renew the rent of the room.
"Okay." The waiter received the money with a bright smile on his face.
After accepting the money, he didn't ask too much about where the pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, had been recently, and then asked enthusiastically if he wanted to order a table of food.
"No, I'm going to take a shower. You can prepare hot water for me."
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead has already eaten out, so there is no need for the waiter to prepare a table of dishes.
After staying outside for so long, I took a shower with rainwater.
The clothes were also washed in rainwater, and they were not clean.
Now back at the inn, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead just wants to take a hot bath and relax himself.
"Okay, please wait a moment."
The waiter nodded. The request of the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead was very simple, so he quickly went to prepare it.
While the other party prepares hot water, you can go back to the guest room and take a rest.
Opening the door, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead returned to the guest room he had not seen for a long time.
He placed his backpack on the table and quickly walked to the cabinet in the corner.
After not coming back for so long, I still feel a little worried about the money I earned before.
When I first returned to the guest room, I saw no signs that anything in the guest room had been touched, but I still had to check with my own eyes to feel at ease.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead came to the corner, reached out to open the cabinet, and found the money he earned.
After a quick inventory, I found that all the money was there, and I breathed a sigh of relief.
Put the money back and close the cabinet.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead came to the window and opened it to ventilate the room.
The weather was very sunny after the rain, and the sun hung in the sky, splashing golden sunshine.
The guest room that had not been ventilated for a long time was blown by the wind a few times, and the air in the room became fresh.
Some sunlight fell into the room, illuminating large golden spots on the ground.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead blew in the breeze and looked at the lively street scene outside. After living alone for so long, looking at such a lively scene, his mood suddenly became very good.
Although the insurgents attacking soldiers in the city made many people nervous, they have been pursuing it to no avail. Over time, the residents in the city have become accustomed to such an atmosphere.
"drive."
There was a sound at the end of the street, and this sound was not something ordinary people could make.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead was admiring the lively street scene. When he heard a sound coming from far away, he immediately looked towards the end of the street.
Several soldiers in armor rode horses and ran quickly through the streets.
Passers-by on the street saw this situation and immediately ducked to both sides of the road.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead reacted quickly when he saw passers-by dodging. Seeing their familiar movements, he thought that he must have seen them many times, so he had practiced them.
The situation was just as he had guessed. These cavalrymen often appeared on the streets these days.
Passers-by hide and dodge, and their reflexes have been trained, so when they hear the sound of cavalry in the distance, they immediately make evasive movements.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead watched the soldiers on horseback go away and disappeared after a while. He didn't think much about it, and after retracting his gaze, he continued to enjoy the lively scene on the street.
"Dong dong dong."
There was a knock on the door.
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, came back to his senses when he heard the voice and began to look toward the door.
"Come in."
I shouted to the person outside the door, the door was pushed open, and the waiter walked in carrying a bucket.
The bucket is filled with hot water, steaming.
No need for the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead to say anything, the waiter immediately poured the hot water into the bath bucket.
It didn't take long for the bath bucket to be filled with hot water.
The waiter left, and the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead immediately took off his clothes and soaked in hot water in the tub.
The comfortable feeling of soaking your whole body with hot water cannot be described in words.
In the past few days, the life in that cave was not as painful as before, but compared with the life in the inn, it was still far worse.
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, took a bath comfortably and almost fell asleep while taking a bath.
More than an hour later, when the bath water was a little cold, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead came out of the bath bucket.
He called the waiter to come and take care of the bath bucket. After everything was done, he lay down on the comfortable big bed to rest.
In the cave, everyone sleeps on the ground. The bonfire makes the cave warm, but it is still a bit cold to sleep on the ground.
Now feeling comfortable, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead lay on the bed, feeling the warmth of the quilt. After a while, he fell asleep.
…………
On the busy street, two figures wearing bamboo hats and whose faces could not be seen were walking slowly.
These two people were investigators who came to Zecheng to collect information. It had been raining the past few days and they could not go out.
Now that the weather had finally improved, they immediately walked out of the inn where they had stayed while the sun was shining brightly.
The street is busy with traffic and people coming and going, making it a lively scene.
It had rained earlier and the streets were very deserted. It was quite good for the two investigators to see such a lively scene all of a sudden.
The more people there are, the easier it is to collect intelligence. The two investigators chatted quietly for a few words, and then separated.
In the past, the efficiency of collecting intelligence by working together was a bit low. Working separately will improve efficiency and allow you to visit more places.
The tall investigator walked among the crowd for a while and then stopped. It wasn't because something caught his eye that he stopped, but because the road was blocked in front of him and he couldn't move forward.
"This road has never been so blocked before. What's going on?"
The tall investigator walked aside full of doubts and stood on the stairs, tiptoeing and looking into the distance.
Soon he discovered the cause of the road blockage. It turned out that a vehicle transporting goods had overturned, and now a lot of things were scattered on the ground.
"Looks like we have to wait a while."
The tall investigator found that it would take a lot of time to sort out things in a different place, so he temporarily gave up the idea of moving forward, and instead chose to wander around the current area.
“Don’t miss it if you’re passing by, our store has a clearance sale.”
There is a shop here, and several people are standing at the door shouting, attracting the attention of many passers-by.
The tall investigator happened to hear the shouting, and then slowly approached.
This is a shop that sells spiritual weapons. When I walked into the store, I found that many of the spiritual weapons were of older styles.
And many of them are second-hand goods and have been used for several years.
“Welcome.”
When the clerk saw the customer coming to the door, he greeted him warmly. The tall investigator looked around in the crowd, and then he turned and left without staying long.
As soon as I walked out of the door, I suddenly saw the crowded crowd in the distance becoming extremely noisy.
After careful observation, it turned out that a group of soldiers was passing by.
These soldiers found that the road was blocked and immediately stepped forward to clear the road.
Passers-by moved out of the way to allow the soldiers to get to the worst part of the road blockage.
Because of the intervention of these soldiers, the originally congested road section became smooth again in a short time.
The tall investigator saw that the road was open and followed the others forward.
There is a river not far away. If you want to get to the other side, you have to cross the bridge.
When the tall investigator was crossing the bridge, he suddenly saw the soldiers from before hurriedly running towards a small alley.
Many passers-by were curious as to why these soldiers suddenly became so unhurried.
Not long after, the alley in the distance was blocked.
Seeing this scene, many people had the same thoughts in their minds.
The tall investigator looked at the serious-looking soldier and murmured to himself.
"Something happened again?"
It turned out that another soldier was killed in the alley. Judging from the wounds, it was another sneak attack by rebels.
Passers-by whispered and watched as more and more soldiers arrived at the scene. Everyone subconsciously began to retreat and then moved away from the scene of the incident.
The tall investigator originally wanted to collect intelligence in this area, but now that he saw something like this happening, he gave up the idea and left quickly.
On the road, many small vendors were packing their things and preparing to move.
As for the weapons store I entered before, the staff who were yelling at the door have now returned to the store.
The originally lively streets were very noisy, but now they are gradually becoming deserted.
The tall investigator looked at this rapidly changing scene and couldn't help but sigh.
"Those rebels are really difficult to deal with. If this hidden danger cannot be eliminated, the impact will only become more and more serious as time goes by."
…………
The sun is about to set in the sky, and the sunset dyes the sky red.
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen such a beautiful sunset, and many people were lost in thought looking at the beautiful scenery in the distance.
When the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead woke up from a break, it was almost dark.
At this moment, he was standing in front of the window, holding a teacup in his hand, admiring the beautiful scenery in the distance.
Suddenly a prison car appeared on the street, and someone was being detained.
Pedestrians on the road looked at this scene curiously, guessing what this man had committed.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead looked at the prison car and found that there were too many soldiers guarding it.
Because of his experience, he guessed that the prisoner in the prison car was more important.
Now, by dragging this prisoner onto the street, there is a high probability that he wants to attract other accomplices.
I had a few chats with the waiter before and learned more about some things about the rebels in the city.
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, couldn't help but suspect that the prisoners in the prison car might have something to do with the rebels.
"If the government wants to use this prisoner to lure out rebels, the probability of success should be low!"
The prison car gradually moved away and disappeared at the end of the street. Many people looked away when they saw the prison car leaving and did not pay special attention to it.
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, thought about this matter for a while. He hoped that if the rebels were lured out, it would be best not to be near the inn where he was staying.
Because once the rebels are really drawn out, a big war is inevitable. Now that he has finally returned to the city to rest, he doesn't want to be affected by these things.
…………
After dinner, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead did not choose to stay in the inn.
He rested in the inn for a long time today and had enough rest, so he wanted to go out and walk around.
As soon as I walked out of the inn, I smelled a very pleasant fragrance.
Although he had already eaten dinner, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead could still eat some more snacks.
Smelling the aroma, I looked ahead and saw someone selling fried fish nuggets on the street corner.
The pig-headed man captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead had bought this kind of snack from this small stall before, but the other party only came out to set up the stall in the evening.
Now smelling this tempting aroma, he immediately walked over and ordered a piece of fried fish.
According to the other party's description, the fish for these fish nuggets are all raised by himself.
Because the quantity of fish is limited, we cannot sell it all day long.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead was walking leisurely on the street while eating fish nuggets.
The area he is in is more lively than other places.
In the distance, two figures wearing bamboo hats and whose faces could not be seen were standing on the street.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead glanced at the other party and recalled that he had encountered him several times before.
The other party noticed the gaze and looked over here.
The two parties' eyes met for a moment, and then they were attracted by a movement in the distance.
Many soldiers ran out from the end of the street. They gathered together and rushed in one direction.
Such a big battle was rare, and many people speculated that something big had happened.
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, narrowed his eyes and thoughts flashed through his mind quickly.
When he saw the prison van in the evening, he thought of using it to attract the hiding rebels.
Now that there are so many soldiers rushing to a place, it is very likely that the rebels have been lured out, and these soldiers rushed over to support them.
In order to verify this guess, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead decided to follow quickly to see if the situation was what he thought.
There are many people who have the same idea, but few dare to follow up and take a look.
The two investigators discussed it and decided to follow alone.
After all, two people together have a big target. Don't attract the attention of the soldiers and seize them.
