Wang Yingchen actually looked down on Prince Haru and his entourage from the bottom of his heart. The essence of Han Confucian culture still flowed in his blood. From the bottom of his heart, he believed that Haru was just a poor prince from the side. The reason why he chose to cooperate with Haru and the others
, because Haru had many capable people and different people, and he still had a certain influence in Tubo.
Haru and his entourage were said to have great momentum and flaunted their power along the way. It was really called extremely arrogant. Wang Yingchen looked down upon this kind of behavior. As a down-and-out prince, he was still so arrogant and domineering. If the imperial court had not given him some favor, he would have been wiped out long ago.
All.
After a few days of walking, I also came to the junction of Sichuan and Yunnan. Xiaoshouyang Mountain is about ten miles west of Maoshui Town at the junction of Sichuan and Yunnan, near the official road. Maoshui Town is actually just a small town.
There are about a hundred households in this village, but because this is an essential transportation channel between Sichuan and Yunnan, merchants traveling to and from the village must stop here, so the town is also prosperous.
When they were in Daomaoshui Town, it was the time to turn on the lights. Haru and his party found an inn to stay. Dozens of people stayed in the inn, and the small inn was filled to the brim in an instant. They got such a huge sum.
Business, the shopkeeper and the waiter were all smiling happily, busy preparing drinks and guest rooms.
As soon as they sat down and the waiter brought the drink, Wang Yingchen gave the waiter a piece of broken silver and asked for directions: "Xiao Er, how far is Xiaoshouyang Mountain from here?"
When the waiter received the money, he was all smiles, but when he heard the question about the location of Xiao Shouyang Mountain, he hurriedly handed the money back to Wang Yingchen. A look of fear suddenly appeared on his face, and he shook his head like a rattle.
Wang Yingchen felt something strange and thought it was the waiter who thought he had too little money. He smiled slightly and took out a silver coin and handed it to the waiter. At the same time, he stared at the waiter intently. Although he didn't say anything, the waiter knew it must be the same problem.
The waiter still waved his hands in fear and refused to accept the money. This made Wang Yingchen instantly angry: Are the people here so poor and crazy? Just asked for directions, and he actually thought the money was too little. But in order to ask for the route, Wang Yingchen still
Suppressing the anger in my heart, I reluctantly reached into my sleeve again.
The waiter in the store saw people coming and going every day, and his eyes were so sharp and well-behaved. When he saw the gentle gentleman in front of him touching his sleeves again, he immediately understood what he meant. Although he was also very puzzled in his heart, this gentle and handsome young man
How could a person walk with a group of rude men in strange clothes, but who can tell clearly what is going on in the world? If you mind your own business, you can keep yourself safe and make money. This is the experience they have summed up.
Seeing that Wang Yingchen had misunderstood him, the waiter in the shop quickly waved his hand and said: "Uncle, please don't pay. In normal times, even if you don't give me money, I will know everything and tell you everything. But recently, it's not the case. This
No, someone asked me the same question just an hour ago, and I didn't even tell them."
Wang Yingchen felt relieved when he saw what the waiter said, but he still took out the money and pressed it heavily into the waiter's hand. The waiter was helpless, since others were forcing him to give it, he had no reason not to accept it.
Wang Yingchen smiled and asked with great interest: "Little brother, why can you tell me on weekdays but not today? Someone came to ask for directions an hour ago? Who was it? How many people were there?"
Waiter
He sighed, then raised his eyebrows and replied: "Back to the uncle, Xiao Shouyang Mountain is ten miles west of the store. It is not a famous place. But half a month ago, there was a tourist there.
It's a big event, there are a lot of people..." The waiter paused, looked timidly at the people behind Wang Yingchen, then lowered his voice and said: "They are people dressed like the people behind the uncle, they are chasing a few monks, Taoists and laymen all the way.
Kill, many people died."
"Later, it was said that those people trapped the monks, Taoists and lay people together on Shouyang Mountain. They were unwilling to retreat even if they couldn't make offerings to them. They probably wanted to trap them to death." After saying this, the waiter shook his head and sighed in a low voice with lingering fear.
He said: "What a sin. So many people died."
Wang Yingchen's eyes lit up, and he quickly pretended to be joking and asked: "Brother, are you talking nonsense? It seems that you have seen it with your own eyes. If that is the case, how can you be here so well?"
?Also, if such a big thing happened, why didn’t you report it to the official?”
When the waiter heard this, he immediately stared and said, "I'm not talking nonsense. I saw it with my own eyes. That day, two groups of people met in the shop and started fighting after they disagreed. There were two monks.
It was really good, and it injured several people, but it couldn't be done with a few big men. After being injured, the monks ran outside with the big men on their backs, and then another group of people chased after them."
"With a radius of a hundred miles, there is only one small town called Maoshui Town. How can there be a government office to take care of it? After the group of people surrounded the mountain, they would send people to the town every day to buy wine and food, and sometimes even
I will ask someone to deliver it. I only found out what happened after listening to what Agui from the restaurant next door said. Agui has gone there several times to deliver food. No, he went to deliver food before sunset today. As expected
Should be back soon..."
When the waiter in the store said this, he suddenly became a little uneasy, because then he remembered that the people surrounding the mountain were dressed like the people in the store now, and as soon as they entered the store, they asked Xiao Shouyang Mountain, could they be
A group of people? At this time, he began to secretly regret again. He shouldn't have said so much and dragged Agui into it.
Before he could think about it carefully, the waiter's tone began to tremble, and he begged for mercy with a sad face: "Uncle, I don't know anything, I don't know anything. Our ancestors have been here guarding the mountains and discussing life with tourists coming and going, so don't care about me.
And Agui, he doesn’t know anything either, so please don’t let me talk nonsense..."
Before the waiter in the shop finished speaking, Wang Yingchen felt angry and amused, but in order to achieve his goal, he had to say with a fierce face: "Okay, don't talk anymore, we give you money for food and accommodation, that's all.
However, now that you have said it, you might as well tell me again. You said there are still people asking for directions. Who are they? How many people are there? What do they look like?" After bluffing the waiter, he immediately said kindly: "Don't worry, I'm just asking.
, it will not implicate anyone in the town, including of course the Agui you mentioned."
At this point, the waiter in the shop had to murmur the truth slowly: "An hour ago, four people came to ask for directions, two young people and two middle-aged people, one of whom was fat. They also asked the little boy.
I asked them for a long time before I told them the road to Shouyang Mountain, and then they left in a hurry..."
Wang Yingchen then showed a satisfied smile, patted the waiter who was already shaking and sweating profusely, and said
The waiter ordered the food and wine to be served. If the waiter encountered an amnesty, he hurriedly ran to the kitchen.
Wang Yingchen jabbered at Haru and Tan Zongzi, but Haru didn't take it seriously, while Tan Zongzi's face became more solemn.
Tan Zongzi murmured: "There is a fat man? Could it be He Xiong? How did he get here? Our plan is so thorough, how could he know so much? If it was really him, it would not be so easy to deal with.
Already."
Tan Zongzi licked his lips, and then he realized that his lips were chapped, so he quickly took a sip of wine to cover up the embarrassment on his expression. Until now, he seemed to be still immersed in He Xiong's terrifying strength, unable to
Extricate yourself.
Wang Yingchen frowned, thought for a moment and said: "It shouldn't be He Xiong. The waiter said he was a middle-aged fat man. He should not be in line with He Xiong in terms of age. The waiter should not be wrong. Unless...unless an hour
In front of me, the sky was hazy."
Wang Yingchen's words are just a theoretical analysis, but they are a bit prickly in Tan Zongzi's ears. But there is one thing that Tan Zongzi doesn't know: He Xiong is fat, and Yang Fu is also slightly fat. Tan Zongzi
Although I didn't directly fight with He Xiong, I felt a little bit dissatisfied after seeing He Xiong's terrifying strength that day.
Haru has an indifferent attitude. He knows in his heart that He Xiong is powerful, but at the same time, he is also the person who is the least afraid of him. It is said that outsiders only watch the excitement, but only the experts know the rules. Maybe Haru understands a few simple wrestlings.
, but compared to martial arts, he is a complete layman. Therefore, the most fearless person at this moment is Haru.
"What are you afraid of? No matter how powerful He Xiong is, he is only one person, with one head, two hands and two feet. There are so many of us here, plus the national master and Mr. Wang, all of them are brave warriors. Besides, there are so many people here.
Master Foxiao, the national junior fellow apprentice, is also a master of Tantric Buddhism. Why should he be afraid of a mere He Xiong? When the time comes, as long as everyone swarms up to him, he will be able to capture him even if he is lent a few pairs of hands and feet."
Wang Yingchen complimented Haru, but he couldn't help but murmur in his heart: "Barbarians are barbarians, how can you understand this? If it is really He Xiong, who will give you a chance to swarm him? In addition, there are Daguo and his party,
How can we be so easy to deal with as you said? Tan Zongzi and I may be able to resist for a while, but these other so-called warriors are not worth mentioning in the eyes of others."
Haru is stupid, but Tan Zongzi is not stupid. He frowned. Obviously Haru's words did not comfort him at all, but made him even more worried. If it is really He Xiong, I am afraid that among these people
The only ones who can resist are himself and Wang Yingchen, so discussing countermeasures with Wang Yingchen may be the most important thing at the moment.
Everyone had their own thoughts and hurriedly finished their meal. After everyone fell asleep, Tan Zongzi quietly came to Wang Yingchen's room.
"Since the Imperial Master is here, you might as well invite him in. I was thinking that the Imperial Master should be here too."
Tan Zongzi was stunned at first, then relieved for a moment. He smiled slightly, opened the door and entered happily. He saw Wang Yingchen facing the window and thinking deeply, with the candlestick shining sideways, both elegant and lonely.
"The Jade Faced Man is indeed well-deserved. Mr. Wang can hear the footsteps even though I am only ten steps away. It is really admirable."
