Chapter 75
Chapter 75
After Li Ruo returned to the inn, he stayed in the lobby all day long, and when Hang Shiqi opened the door, he bumped into him, but Li Ruo no longer provoked Hang Shiqi, nor deliberately approached Ao Wu, just like a Like a polite neighbor, he said hello to Hang Shiqi: "It's such a coincidence, do you want to go out?"
"Please bring the lunch to the room." Hang Shiqi ignored him, turned his head to tell the little brother who delivered the meal, and felt nervous: Why is this man talking to me so politely today? Something is wrong...
Li Ruo was even more nervous than Hang Shiqi: Anyway, as long as you keep an eye on people, I'll be in the lobby and I'll be able to see you if you want to go out. There are so many people here, you can't do anything to me...
Hang Shiqi didn't intend to do anything to him at first, and after greeting lunch, he closed the door as if nothing had happened.
Ao Wu was sitting at the head of the bed, reading some materials about Nanxia, when he heard the door closing, he looked up at Hang Shiqi, his expression softened unconsciously, and asked, "Didn't you say you were going outside to chat with someone, why did you come back again?" ?”
"The one named Li Ruo is at the door, I don't want to see him." Hang Shiqi sat down by the bed: "But he's so weird today, why didn't he come knock on the door, he didn't look weird when he saw me, and greeted me with a smile , is he holding back some big moves?"
"He hasn't left yet?" Ao Wu thought that yesterday's warning was enough to make the other party retreat. After all, there are so many rich people in Nanxia. He should be sitting with him in a wheelchair when he first set his eyes on him. Very weak about it.Once he finds out that he is more dangerous than he imagined, it is said that Li Ruo will leave directly. A 'smart' person like him would be willing to spare his life.
Unless, he is not for money.
"Tuk-tuk." There was a light knocking sound outside the window, and a spy jumped off the windowsill lightly and landed on the ground: "Boss."
"It's too early, but what did you find?" Ao Wu closed the file and asked.
"Yes, we followed Li Ruo yesterday and found a stronghold of Cocoon Mouse's activities in the city. It is initially suspected that the identities of you and Hang Shiqi have been exposed, and Li Ruo is the person of Cocoon Mouse."
That's right.
Ao Wu didn't seem surprised, and asked calmly, "How's the matter in the cave?"
"At present, Liger has sent people to take over the cave. Cocoon Mouse should have sent people to destroy the materials. They found few clues. The rescued living people are a total of [-] people, all of whom are nobles from Nanxia. Young Master is also among them. In addition, when we searched the cave, we made an unexpected discovery about Feng Motong, the ruling priest of the Fire Feather Clan."
The spies handed over a leather box with some burnt marks on the edges. Inside was a foster letter. Ao Wu opened it, and inside were yellowed letters.Ao Wu first turned to the bottom page, and it actually wrote about Feng Motong's life experience. His father was from the Fire Feather Royal Family, and his mother's blood was... Chick.
"It's him!" Hang Shiqi patted Ao Wu's leg through the quilt: "I remember this story, his mother was found pretending to be the Fire Feather Clan, and the Fire Feather Clan put them both to death... Hey, he didn't die Did you become the ruling priest of the Fire Feather Clan?"
If he hadn't colluded with Cocoon Mouse, Hang Shiqi actually thought the story was pretty good.After all, as a modern person, he still firmly believes that all men are created equal, and he cannot understand the behavior of the Fire Feather Clan who killed their wives and children for the sake of blood purity.
"It is indeed that one. He didn't die back then, and was rescued by the cocoon mouse priest. After he was raised to 12 years old, he was sent back disguised as a fire feather clan, replacing the identity of a real fire feather nobleman. Feng Mo Hitomi's priests are very talented, even better than those of the real Fire Feather Clan, and were soon selected as reserve priests to enter the Abyss of Flame for training." Fearing that Hang Shiqi could not understand, the spies explained: "This flame The abyss is similar to the White Tower in our northern border. Both are places where priests practice meditation."
"What happened later?" Hang Shiqi shook his ears and asked, "Then he became the ruling priest, did he revise the Fire Feather Clan's rule that foreigners are not allowed to marry, and avenged his mother?"
"No, after taking office, he has never been stricter on intermarriage of different races. Not only the royal family is not allowed to intermarry with other races, but also some other nobles living in the Valley of Flames, such as the Qingyu clan and the Wingbird clan, are also not allowed to marry with other races. Once found At least, they will be demoted to slavery, and at worst, they will all be executed.”
"Ah, why? Didn't he come here for revenge?" Hang Shiqi's ears drooped in disappointment.
"Because the stricter he is on mixed blood, the less others will suspect him of being mixed blood." Ao Wu pinched Hang Shiqi's overly lively little ears: "As for revenge, maybe he has become obsessed with power and forgot his original intention The purpose, or maybe he knows that even if he is the ruling priest, it will be difficult to change the status quo of the Fire Feather Clan, and he is waiting for a bigger opportunity to completely break this unreasonable rule, or even destroy the Fire Feather Clan."
Hang Shiqi shook his empty head and frowned: "It's so complicated. Isn't he tired of living like this?"
Ao Wu laughed: "There are very few people alive in this world who are not tired."
Hang Shiqi raised his bar and said, "I'm not tired."
Ao Wu: "Seventeen is a smart person, and a smart person is not tired in life."
Me, wise man?Hang Shiqi blinked his eyes.Although you like me, you can't keep your eyes closed like this, can you?Hang Shiqi asked: "What about you? Are you tired?"
"I'm not smart. But I know what I want." Ao Wu answered irrelevantly.
"Has the information been verified?" Ao Wu closed the box and tapped on it.
"There is no problem with the time of the letter. Except for the first letter, I can't find the corresponding notes, and the rest can be matched with Feng Motong's handwriting in different periods. In addition, some things mentioned in the letter can also be found. Corresponding time, The possibility of forgery is basically ruled out."
Ao Wu asked the spy again: "How about the things I asked you to prepare?"
The spy replied: "All arrangements have been made and are available at any time."
Ao Wu: "The carriage stopped in the woods outside the north gate of Lieyang City, and the unicorn was brought to the backyard of the inn. If anyone asks, they will say that we bought it."
Spy: "Yes."
Hang Shiqi asked: "What is this for? Why are there horses and carriages? Which one should we take? Let me declare first that I don't know how to ride a horse."
Ao Wu: "Never sit down."
"Eh?" Hang Shiqi was stunned.
Ao Wu smiled: "It's a blindfold."
Hang Shiqi was stunned for a moment, trying to understand what Ao Wu meant, he couldn't help saying: "You are so cunning..."
"When is the boss going to leave, what else do we need to prepare?" the spy asked.
Ao Wu: "I will send you a letter before I leave."
"Yes."
Another day, the lord brought his young son Bao Chen to the inn to visit.
Ao Wu: "If you want to thank you, there is no need, the gift has already been received, and these days have troubled the lord a lot."
There was a little more smile on the Lord's face than when we met last time: "I didn't mean to bother you two, but Chen'er must thank you in person."
Ao Wu raised his eyes to look at Baochen, with white hair and dark blue pupils, he looked very delicate. At first glance, he did have a different imagination from Hang Shiqi, but upon closer inspection, Hang Shiqi's eyes were always full of agility. , with a bit of mischievous ignorance, as if if he couldn't hold it down, he was going to be mischievous and troublesome all the time.This Bao Chen looked a little introverted, with timid eyes, as if he was afraid of people.
"Ao Wu narrowed his eyes and asked: "When he came back from the cave, was he injured? "
The lord sighed: "The body is fine, but the memory is a little defective, and the personality is quite introverted. I think maybe I have suffered a lot in the past three years, and it is my fault that it took so long to find him."
Memory loss, personality changes.Hang Shiqi thought, maybe the core was really changed.He wanted to speak to remind the lord, but Ao Wu stopped him and shook his head at him.
After the lord left, Hang Shiqi asked, "Why don't you let me tell?"
Ao Wu: "If the other party is really possessed by a rat, reminding him now is tantamount to forcing the lord to choose between trusting us and his son. How sure are you that he will choose us?"
Hang Shiqi thought for a while: "That's right, then leave a message for him when we leave?"
"Ah."
The lord retrieved his beloved son.The lord originally wanted to entertain Hang Shiqi and Ao Wu, but considering their special identities, he gave up this plan and sent some gifts instead.
"There is no room for these things, and it's useless to carry them. Why don't you give them chicken legs, can they be sold?" Hang Shiqi looked worried at the pile of jade and cloth.
"It's not good for others to sell it face to face. It can be stored in Yuntian Pavilion."
"A pawn shop opened by Yun Wuzhen? Does his house have a storage service?" Hang Shiqi had already heard Ao Wu mention it here: "We have deposited it here, can we go to the northern border to pick it up?"
Ao Wu hooked the corners of his lips: "You can also withdraw cash directly."
"Isn't it still for sale?" Hang Shiqi was stunned for a while, then clapped his hands: "I understand, it's not good to sell in person, can we sell secretly?"
Seeing Hang 17's bright eyes, Ao Wu suppressed a smile and let out an "um".
However, Ao Wu's real purpose of going to Yuntian Pavilion was not to sell things, but just to send a message to Yun Wuzhen.
Hang Shiqi pushed Ao Wu to Yuntian Pavilion, and Li Ruo followed up as usual, asking where they were going.Hang Shiqi simply said generously that it was inconvenient to store the Lord's gift in the inn, and he had to go to Yuntian Pavilion to store it.
Then he asked back: "You don't want to go to Yuntian Pavilion by such a coincidence, do you?"
"Not really, but there's nothing else to do, why not go for a walk together?" Li Ruo followed up with the two confidently.
Hang Shiqi knew that it would be difficult to get rid of him, so he simply pretended not to see him.Anyway, when storing things, there must be a special private room for inspection. If it is impossible to go to Yuntian Pavilion, I will continue to follow.
When it was time to trade at Yuntian Pavilion, Ao Wu deliberately took out the jade token that Yun Wuzhen had given him and mixed it with the goods and handed it over.
Soon the storekeeper trotted out: "How much do you want to be a customer?"
"It's not right, it's just stored for five days." Ao Wu sat in the wheelchair and sipped his tea calmly.
"What about five days later?" the shopkeeper asked.
Ao Wu: "Send to the northern border, Yuehua City, is there a convoy?"
Shopkeeper: "Yes, we depart from the east gate early in the morning."
Ao Wu: "Prepare two extra large boxes, the things are expensive and not easy to pack."
The shopkeeper: "Don't worry about that. The horses in the shop are fast and stable."
"That's good." Ao Wu turned his head and said to Hang Shiqi: "Let's go."
"Guest, don't forget your things." The shopkeeper handed the jade token back to Ao Wu.
"Thank you." Ao Wu naturally put away the jade tablet.
The shopkeeper smiled hospitablely: "You are polite, it is what we should do."
Li Ruo walked around with the two of them, but nothing happened, so he really thought that he just went to pawn things for two days.It's even a little strange, he saw that the things the lord gave were not particularly valuable and rare things, so is it worth the two of them going to Yuntian Pavilion?
"I understand this time!" Hang Shiqi held back all the way to the inn, and he couldn't wait to show off to Ao Wu: "Did you just play charades with the shopkeeper and ask him to send a convoy two days later, and we will leave with the goods ?”
"Exactly, Seventeen is very smart." Ao Wu praised him with a smile.
Hang Shiqi was happy when he was praised, he wagged his tail and said: "Hey, you are also very smart, now even if those people know our identities, they can't imagine how we left. I thought you were that kind before, no People who play tricks and refuse to accept are just doing it, I didn't expect you to be quite good at playing tricks?"
Ao Wu smiled lowly and blinked innocently: "You can fight when you can beat it, but when you can't beat it, you have to play tricks."
Ao Wu set aside five days, originally planning to wait for the treatment to be completed, and then take Hang Shiqi away after the injury is better, so that if there is any risk on the road, he can deal with it one or two.Unexpectedly, the time is more urgent than he imagined.
Only one day later, the spies came to report: "Boss, there is an emergency on the western front. The Huoyu tribe issued a letter of war to the northern border, saying that after fifteen days, if the northern border does not hand over Hang Shiqi and give an explanation to the seven royal families, they will directly Start a war against the northern border." The spies said here, as if they couldn't suppress the anger in their hearts, and cursed in front of Ao Wu: "This group of red chickens must have received the news that you are not in the northern border, otherwise how could they You have the guts to run wild on the Western Front."
"Fifteen days." Ao Wu did some calculations. If he hurried on the fastest road to the north, the time would be just in time: "They should really know that I am in Nanxia, so their goal is not the western front, but fishing."
"Aren't you in danger? They will definitely set up ambushes on several routes back to the northern border to intercept and kill you. If you go back, it is tantamount to throwing yourself into a trap. If you don't go back, they will be afraid." It will really attack the western front. Once the war goes against us, other tribes may join in. We will eat up the northern border." The spy turned pale: "Boss, what should we do?"
"What are you panicking about?" Ao Wu asked, "Is the carriage and unicorn horse ready for you?"
Spy: "It's all ready."
Ao Wu made arrangements: "Tonight, first secretly send a team of people to drive a carriage to the main road, and tomorrow morning, find two people to pretend to be me and Hang Shiqi, and ride out of the city from the inn. Tell them to be careful on the road, if If you encounter an ambush, immediately reveal your identity and find an opportunity to escape, so you don't have to continue pretending to be us."
"Then why did you leave?" The spy couldn't help asking one more question. He knew that the boss had contacted Yuntian Pavilion, but the caravan in Yuntian Pavilion couldn't suddenly change the time to leave the city.
"Yeah, how do we leave?" Hang Shiqi also asked.
"What do you think?" Ao Wu asked without answering.
"Ask me?" Hang Shiqi was a little surprised.In order to take care of the injured Ao Wu recently, he has been very obedient and didn't go out to make troubles.He completely listens to Ao Wu's decisions on big and small matters, and he is in a state of emptying his mind and not thinking about things.Ao Wu suddenly asked his opinion, and he was still a little dazed for a while.
Ao Wu nodded: "Well, I can't think of any solution at the moment, does Seventeen have any suggestions?"
Hang Shiqi sat up straight in an instant flattered.It's one thing to be liked by Ao Wu, but another thing to be asked for advice by Ao Wu.Ao Wu has always been very strong, assertive, and smart, as if all problems can be easily solved.But now he was asking for his own opinion, he was relying on himself!This is an affirmation of my IQ and strength!
And the situation is dangerous now, if the two of them can't get out smoothly, they are likely to be caught and killed by Cocoon Mouse or Huo Yu's people.Ao Wu is tantamount to entrusting his life to him!
Hang Shiqi took a deep breath and nodded solemnly: "Yes!"
The author has something to say:
Hang Shiqi: Ao Wu asked my opinion, he must trust me and think I'm smart.There must be a plan, escape is my specialty.
Ao Wu: Hang Shiqi's brain circuit is different from that of normal people, and his escape posture is very strange.I can't think of it, and no one else can think of it.
