Chapter 604 Night Walk
Qi Feng immediately said, "The package in the hand of the Qinghai-Tibet Lama is a bit strange. They seem to cherish it very much. What exactly is inside is confusing."
Wu Dalin whispered: "Marty, the Lama himself may not be strange, but it is really strange that they appeared in Dongqi. Qinghai-Tibet is located west of the western border, thousands of miles away from Dongqi. Tao Shang said that they had traveled to Dongqi, and I think this must be not the truth."
Qi Ning smiled and said, "You think there is a fraud in it."
"If they could travel to Dongqi, why didn't they reach my Great Chu?" Wu Dalin said: "Qinghai-Tibet is closer to my Great Chu, and the ancient elephant kingdom and my Great Chu are not enemy countries. Why did these lamas bypass the Great Chu and come to Dongqi?" He smiled faintly: "If we want to gain a better understanding, my Great Chu has a vast territory and a magnificent scenery, but it is not comparable to a small country in Dongqi. Why did they abandon the Great Chu and come to Dongqi?"
Qi Feng also said: "The man surnamed Tao also said that the king of Dongqi heard these lamas say, but he didn't hear that the king of Dongqi liked Buddhism. It was difficult to see temples in Dongqi. Dongqi treated these lamas as guests and let them stay in the inn. This is not the treatment of traveling monks."
Qi Ning whispered: "You can understand the ancient elephant kingdom."
Qi Feng and others looked at each other and shook their heads slightly. Wu Dalin said, "Marquis, the last marquis will be in the Western Sichuan Army for two years. The Western Sichuan Army is stationed in the western area, saying that it is to guard against the alien races of Qinghai-Tibet, but it rarely deals with them. The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is mainly Tuyuhun people, and the Ancient Elephant Kingdom is a dynasty established by the Tuyuhun people, controlling Qinghai-Tibet." After a pause, he said, "Marquis, will the Ancient Elephant Kingdom secretly collude with Dongqi and make ill-intentioned plans?"
Qi Ning shook his head and said, "I don't know, if this is true, then the target they are plotting can only be my Da Chu." He pondered slightly and said, "But this may be very small. One of these two countries is in the west and the other is thousands of miles away from the east. Even if they want to form an alliance and make plans, it is not enough to say a few words." He chuckled and said, "But I'm also very surprised what is in the package. If you look at what is inside, you may be able to solve your doubts."
Qi Feng said: "Looking at their appearance, it is very difficult for those lamas to see the package as precious as life."
Qi Ning smiled and said, "Forget it, everyone worked hard along the way. It will take two days for the king of Dongqi to meet him. Everyone will have a good rest in the past two days and accumulate energy. Leader Wu, the Northern Han people are by their side, so you should be more careful and send more people to guard the shifts. We don't go and provoke them. If they provoke them, you don't have to be polite."
Wu Dalin smiled and said, "Don't worry, Marquis, they won't forget it if they don't come. If they dare to come to us, no matter who it is, they will be arrested immediately."
After dinner, someone cleaned up and everyone dispersed.
Qi Ning took a short rest, and when it was late at night, he changed into black clothes, covered his mouth and nose, and then he turned out from the back window.
His martial arts are different now. He left Xiyuan quietly and knew that the lamas lived in the back garden of the inn. He went straight to the back garden and climbed over the wall. He saw several houses beside a pool in the back garden. One of them was lighted, but there were two lamas guarding with long sticks in front of the door. He knew that the lamas lived here.
Qi Ning thought that although these lamas were not large, they came to Dongqi from thousands of miles to travel across mountains and rivers, and they were definitely not ordinary people. Before, in front of the inn, these lamas were not afraid of the Northern Han people and almost started to fight. When they saw their posture, they obviously had some skills.
Although Qi Ning is confident, he is never complacent. Although his martial arts are not bad, he never underestimates others. He is careful with these lamas who do not know the details.
Today, Gong Zhaxi was holding a package in his hand, which was mysterious and mysterious. Qi Ning was very curious. He could not determine why these lamas came to Dongqi through mountains and rivers. He always felt that there must be an ulterior motive in it. He was wondering whether there was an answer in the package. He wanted to try his luck and see if he could find an opportunity to peek at what was happening in the package.
He was like a ghost and walked around the back of the house. Fortunately, there was no lama patrol behind the room. Qi Ning slowly approached the room with lights and vaguely heard the sound from the room. His body was pressed against the wall and he looked inside. He saw a round table in the room. Several lamas were sitting around the round table. In the middle of the round table, it was the package, wrapped in a gray cloth towel. Look at the shape, it was square, and it looked like a box in it.
Gong Zhaxi clasped his hands together and was saying something, but he was obviously speaking in his own dialect. Qi Ning couldn't understand it. He only saw the other lamas all looked solemn. Gong Zhaxi said a few words, and the few nodded slightly.
Qi Ning knew what they were discussing, but unfortunately they couldn't speak. Gong Zhaxi said for a while and saw a lama getting up, turning around and going out. Not long after, he came in, holding a wooden box in his hand and put it on the table. Qi Ning was surprised, but he saw Gong Zhaxi taking something from his arms, shining golden light, opening the wooden box, put it in it, then closing it, taking another piece of gray brocade, wrapping the wooden box. For a moment, the two packages were placed together, almost exactly the same and difficult to identify.
Qi Ning didn't know what these lamas were selling, but saw that Gong Zhaxi had already picked up the previous package and whispered a few words before she went out with the package. The remaining lamas sat around the round table, and the wooden box wrapped later was placed in the middle of the round table. Qi Ning counted it. After Gong Zhaxi left, there were still four lamas sitting around the round table, all of whom were holding their hands together, as if they were going to guard here.
Qi Ning's eyes rolled and finally understood the intentions of these lamas.
There is no doubt that the wooden box prepared later was obviously a fake real package, which was used to confuse. The group of lamas were obviously extremely careful. Even though many people guarded them, they seemed to be worried that the package would be lost, so they deliberately prepared a fake package to put it on the table, and the real package was taken away by Gong Zhaxi.
They designed it hard, and it can be seen that the things in the package are really important to them. Qi Ning was curious about what was in the package. Seeing them so careful, curiosity became even stronger. After seeing Gong Zhaxi go out, he walked to the left, and immediately touched the wall and touched the left. There were five or six houses in this row. When he touched the one beside him, he heard a "crunch" sound, and it seemed that someone had opened the house. Qi Ning immediately stopped, got up and approached the window, gently poked the window paper, and looked inside through the small hole, and saw that the house was extremely quiet. He saw a shadow flashing into the house. From the outline, he identified it that it was Gong Zhaxi.
After Gong Zhaxi entered the house, he turned his hand and closed the door, tied the door bolt. He looked around and naturally could not find Qi Ning behind the house. He walked to the middle of the house, squatted down, carefully placed the package at his feet, poked out a hand, and pulled it upwards with his palm facing down, but Qi Ning was shocked to see that a stone brick on the ground was sucked up by Gong Zhaxi's palm power.
This skill is quite good. Qi Ning has long felt that these lamas are not simple. Seeing Gong Zhaxi's palm absorbing bricks, he is even more sure that these lamas are extraordinary.
Gong Zhaxi placed the stone brick aside, then carefully picked up the package and put it over. Only then did Qi Ning realize that there was a hole under the stone brick, and the package was actually placed in it intact. I don’t know if there were holes underground or these lamas had dug in advance.
Gong Zhaxi hid the package in it, then covered the stone brick again, and confirmed that there was no abnormality. Then he got up and came to the back window.
Qi Ning immediately lowered his body, squatted under the window, holding his breath, and heard the window being pushed open, and looked up slightly. If Gong Zhaxi discovered it at this time, he could only leave quickly. He was confident that it would not be difficult to leave the back garden with his current efforts.
Gong Zhaxi obviously did not expect that what he did was to be seen by Qi Ning. He just opened the window and thought there was no one around, so he closed the window. In the dark, he didn't even notice the fine hole on the window paper. Then he left. Qi Ning breathed a sigh of relief and thought that his luck was really good. If he had not arrived in time, Gong Zhaxi hid the package here, how could he know?
He thought that these lamas were too careful. If they didn't play these tricks, the lamas would have no idea how to deal with the package overnight. This was a good idea. For the sake of secrecy, Gong Zhaxi kept the package under the floor tiles of the house. It looked really secret. Unfortunately, Qi Ning saw it now, and this piece of fat would fall into Qi Ning's mouth.
Qi Ning took a deep breath, got up, and was about to push the window open and turn in, but suddenly heard a sound from above his head. The sound was extremely light. If Qi Ning had not had the deep internal strength and always alert, it would have been difficult to find out. He knew something was wrong, and his figure was as charming as he immediately flashed to the left. Fortunately, this was the house that was the one that was leaning against the side. Qi Ning turned to the side, and looked slightly, and saw a figure floating down from the roof.
Qi Ning felt a little nervous. He thought that he was the only one who was peeping at Gong Zhaxi's hidden package, but he didn't expect that there were people from the same way. He was peeping in the back window. The man was obviously peeping on the roof. If this person had something to do with these lamas, it would never be possible to hide on the roof in the middle of the night, and he would only wait until Gong Zhaxi left before he came down from the roof.
The man was wearing night clothes, covered in his face, only with his eyes exposed. He looked around and thought no one could see him. Then he reached out and pushed open the rear window, his body was light, and he had turned over and entered the house.
