Xiao Feng was so frightened that he almost threw the teacup on the ground. He hurriedly mumbled his words and looked around: "Where's Qiaoqiao? Didn't you see her this morning?"
Qiao Niang blushed and said embarrassedly: "This kid is too wild. In the morning, he was muttering to Miss Wang next door across the wall and didn't know what to say. Then he actually jumped over the wall with Wangcai in his arms. I
Those who stop quickly and slow down are still a step too late."
Xiao Feng thought about the scene of Qiaoqiao climbing over the wall with Wangcai in her arms, and couldn't help but smile: "She is only ten years old, and she is in a playful mood. It is a good thing to have a handkerchief to hand over."
Qiao Niang pouted: "A good thing is a good thing, but when a girl goes to play in other people's houses, she must at least enter and exit through the front door. What's the matter with jumping over the wall? Even though she is a servant, it would be embarrassing for the master to be seen.
He said that the master was not strict in governing the government."
Xiao Feng waved his hands carelessly: "What kind of house are we running? There are only three of us in our family. Besides, I am not afraid of losing face..." His eyes involuntarily fell on Qiao Niang's pouted mouth. A woman in her thirties
This woman actually showed her girlish innocence at this moment, which made him crazy for a moment.
Qiao Niang didn't care, it was just her subconscious move. Seeing that Xiao Feng was not in a hurry to drink tea, she put down the teapot and left. When she raised her head, she saw Xiao Feng's eyes. Her face suddenly turned red and she ran away in panic.
.
Xiao Feng lightly slapped himself on the face: "Are you obsessed? Hurry up and get down to business."
He squeezed the word "attack" again, but the situation in Datong was treacherous, and this word could tell that there was already a lot of content. After looking at it for a long time, he finally had a flash of inspiration: "The left side of the word "Yi" is 夜.
There is a half-image with a dagger on the right, which is supposed to mean that someone is attacking with a short blade in the middle of the night. Could it be that there is an internal agent of the White Lotus Sect in Datong City, who wants to seize the city gate in the middle of the night and let the Tatar soldiers enter the city?"
Xiao Feng did not dare to hesitate any longer and immediately wrote to Hu Zongxian: "Brother Ruzhen sees the word as he sees it: the word 'attack' written by General Qiu Luan should mean that someone wanted to seize the city gate in the middle of the night in Datong City and let the enemy troops enter the city.
Like, his ambition is not small, and he should be the one committed by the White Lotus Sect. General Qiu Luan, please take strict precautions. Also, if there are people with 'Yun' in their names, they should also be careful with lewd people."
There are no other servants in the family. If Qiaoniang is asked to go to the inn to deliver the message, it will not be convenient for the woman to show her face. If Xiao Feng goes by himself, the goal is too big and it will inevitably attract the attention of others, especially Yan Dang. Someone must be watching him. It seems that he
I still need a loyal servant.
Xiao Feng thought for a moment and decided to go to the Tianci Food Store first and find a random clerk so that he wouldn't attract attention. He walked straight to the street and saw an old man holding a rope loop selling tickets in the distance. Xiao Feng was moved in his heart.
, walked forward and lined up in an orderly manner. After the three or four people in front paid and sat down, it was his turn.
The old Taoist was lowering his head to collect the money, and suddenly saw that the sleeves were a green robe and a white robe. This outfit was rare. He immediately looked up and showed an awkward smile: "Master Xiao, why are you here free?"
Xiao Feng looked at him with squinted eyes: "Your business is pretty good, your fortune-telling income is probably higher than before."
The veteran rubbed his hands with a smile on his face: "Toefl, toefl, just to support the family."
Xiao Feng patted him on the shoulder: "I've known you for a long time, but I've never been to your home. From what you say, do you still have a wife and children?"
The old Taoist revealed the secret in one sentence, and he suddenly panicked: "I don't have anything, I can't see the humble house, I don't dare to invite the adults to come."
Xiao Feng still squinted his eyes, looking very sinister: "It's not like the Taoist sect completely prohibits marrying and having children, so why are you afraid? I'm free today, and I really want to visit your house."
The old Taoist resisted in every possible way. Xiao Feng took advantage of the entanglement and stuffed the letter into the old Taoist's sleeve and whispered: "Help me deliver the letter to the inn." He patted him on the shoulder, laughed and turned away.
The old Taoist was worried and insisted on opening the business until noon. When he saw that there were fewer people, he asked an acquaintance of the butcher shop owner nearby to help look after the stall to avoid being freed by others. Then he ran away in a hurry.
The inn was not too close, and the old Taoist ran in a hurry in order not to delay his return to business. It was quite hard for Xiao Feng to follow him from a distance. Fortunately, after these days of practice, Yu Dayou taught him some internal skills. As a result, my steps naturally became lighter.
The old Taoist was running out of breath, and when he was almost at the inn, three rogues suddenly jumped out and blocked the old Taoist's path. The leader sneered: "Old Taoist, why are you in such a hurry?"
The old Taoist wiped his sweat and looked around subconsciously. The post station was close to the official road, and there were many people coming and going. He felt a little more at ease, and said to the man with an apologetic smile: "Second Master Zhao, you didn't go to the gambling house to make a fortune today, why are you here?" Hang out here?”
Zhao Er looked at the old man up and down: "Stop talking nonsense, what are you doing here? Is it related to Xiao Feng? If it is, explain it happily, and the second master will be rewarded. Otherwise, don't blame the second master for not recognizing your poor body. Taoist robe. Others don’t know you, but Second Master knows very well that you are simply a fake Taoist priest, and no one will care if I beat you!"
The old Taoist thought with a sad face: "Second Master, where did you start talking about this? I just wanted to come to the post station to ask if any letters had arrived. As you know, I live far away, so the postman can deliver letters. I'm often late for a long time. Didn't I just stop by and ask when there's no business at noon?"
In a hurry, the old Taoist made up this reason quite well. However, Zhao Er hesitated and still refused to let him go: "Don't lie to me. In this way, you let me search you. If there is nothing, I will let you go." !”
As he said that, the three thugs surrounded Lao Dao and wanted to search him forcefully. Where Lao Dao could resist them, they pushed and shoved him and his belongings were found. There were only some copper coins and not a piece of paper.
Zhao Er sighed: "Damn it, let's go! I lost my rightful owner for this guy!" The two scoundrels grabbed the copper coins on the ground and followed Zhao Er away.
The old man got up, patted the dirt on his body, and walked into the post station. He magically took out the letter from his body and handed it to the postman. He also magically took out ten copper coins and paid for the letter. Then he walked out calmly.
When Lao Dao walked to the corner of the alley, he was tapped on the shoulder and jumped up in fright. He was relieved when he saw that it was Xiao Feng.
"Master Xiao, it seems that someone is watching you. I was robbed of all my money just to send you a letter. You should give me some reward."
Xiao Feng took out a tael of silver, and the old Taoist took it with a smile.
"I had long felt that someone was following me, and it turned out to be Zhao Er. I guess he wasn't trying to get back at me, otherwise I would have been alone a lot, and I didn't see him bringing anyone to beat me. It should have been Zhao Wenhua who asked him to keep an eye on me. You want to find something wrong with me so you can deal with me. If it weren't for you, they wouldn't have appeared in front of me."
The old Taoist nodded repeatedly: "So I have made a great contribution, sir, I should reward you more."
Xiao Feng looked him up and down: "You have holes in your clothes, and I don't know where you spent all the money you earned. Tell me, what did you do before?"
The old Taoist blinked: "I am a Taoist who is devoted to cultivating Taoism and has always been a Taoist!"
Xiao Feng pouted: "What you did just now, I can guarantee that all the thieves in the entire capital combined may not be of this level. Don't tell me that this is the way you practice."
The old Taoist scratched his head: "Sir, where do you start from? I don't understand."
Xiao Feng said leisurely: "It's okay. Although I don't deal with Lu Bing very well, there are people I know who have dealt with him. Let Jin Yiwei check you carefully, I'm afraid they may not be able to find out."
The old Taoist's face suddenly collapsed, and after hesitating for a moment, he whispered: "Sir, to be honest, I was indeed a thief back then, but I later changed my ways. I would rather cheat than steal again!"
Xiao Feng looked at the tattered Taoist robe he was wearing, and then looked at his face that was full of color. The clothes could show it off, but his face couldn't. He nodded, patted the Taoist's shoulder, took out another tael of silver and handed it to him.
He turned and left.
The old Taoist happily took two taels of silver in his pocket, ran to the meat bun shop next to him, and whispered like a thief: "Baozi, hurry up, if you want the whole meat buns, put them in a big bag for me!"
