How dare the cannon fodder be arrogant

When it was dark, the two came to Yanhui Town.

Although Yanhui Town is not big, but because it is close to the border town, there are all the checkpoints that should be in the city.

At this moment, there were city guards standing at the city gate, checking the documents and luggage of the people entering the city one by one.

Horses were not allowed to run fast in the town, so the two got off their horses and led the horses into the crowd, waiting for inspection and release.

It coincided with these two days when the geese returned to the town for a large gathering, and the gathering time was later than usual, and there were many more people going into and out of the city with them than usual.

After dawdling for a long time, it was the turn of the two of them.Xiao Lingfeng handed over the route prepared in advance to the city defenders.

The soldier held two road guides in his hand, looked and looked, his sharp eyes glanced back and forth between the two: "You two, are you brothers?"

Xiao Lingfeng grinned, made an expression that he thought was simple and honest, and nodded to the soldier: "Hey, sir, we are indeed brothers."

As if frightened by him, the soldier took two steps back.After stabilizing his figure, his eyes were about to explode when he stared: "Hey, stay away."

The surrounding people exclaimed, and saw the spear in the soldier's hand stretched forward, directly in front of the tall and burly Xiao Lingfeng, keeping him at a considerable distance.

Xiao Lingfeng: "?"

Zhuang Qingyue coughed lightly, and explained to the soldier in a gentle voice: "Officer, my elder brother acted a bit rudely, but he didn't intend to offend."

Without waiting for the soldier to reply, he took two steps forward and took off the baggage on his shoulders for the soldier to inspect: "The officer has worked hard on duty, please let me two brothers go into the city."

With a light flick of the wrist, a small cloth bag was slid into the soldier's hand.

The soldier weighed the small cloth bag calmly, then retracted his spear, and almost closed his eyes with a smile when he turned sideways to get out of the way: "It's okay, it's okay, you two, go in quickly."

After the two passed by, the soldier turned his head and stopped another colleague who was checking out the people from the city, rolled his eyes and said in a low voice: "These two brothers are too different, they have grown up like this, can they be one Parents born?"

The colleague watched the audience from the sidelines, and when he heard the words, he showed a wretched smile, and looked at the backs of the two meaningfully: "It's... hard to say."

Although he walked fast, Xiao Lingfeng's hearing was better than ordinary people's, and the conversation between the two city guards fell into his ears lightly.His ears moved, and he glanced at Zhuang Qingyue in confusion.

I saw Zhuang Qingyue walking in front of him and leading the way very rarely, but looking at her from behind, there was nothing unusual, and she didn't even stray too far in her steps.

But what Xiao Lingfeng didn't know was that Zhuang Qingyue, the disguise master who was facing him in front of him, took a lot of effort to hold back the smile at the corner of his mouth, and restrained himself from showing his feet.

In the end, in order to make it easier to move around after nightfall, the two only got one upper room and lived in the same room, despite the waiter's hesitant eyes.

Entering the room, recalling the strange expressions of the two snarky defenders and the waiter Xiao Er, Xiao Lingfeng endured it, but he still couldn't hold back and walked towards the washstand, trying to find a mirror or a basin to take a look at his face .

But Zhuang Qingyue quickly stopped her.

The suspicion in Xiao Lingfeng's heart was even worse. He grabbed Zhuang Qingyue's wrist and was about to look in the mirror, but there was a knock on the window.

Knock, knock, knock, buckle.

It's the secret code for the barracks.

The business is important, Xiao Lingfeng let go of his hand, and said in a deep voice towards the window: "Come in."

The wooden window was pulled open from the outside with a soft creaking sound.A black figure slid in through the crack of the window, knelt down on one knee in front of Xiao Lingfeng without looking sideways.

"My lord." Ding Yue got a suit of soap from somewhere, dressed as a government servant.

He clasped his fists and lowered his head, and reported the news to Xiao Lingfeng in a calm voice: "My lord, the subordinates sneaked into the government office to investigate first, but I didn't expect those dog officials to cheat and fill their pockets, and the official grain storehouse in Yanhui Town was already closed. It was evacuated!"

As he spoke, Ding Yue's emotions became intense.He raised his head, and his anger could not be concealed: "The subordinate sneaked into the granary to find out, and now there are only some old rotten grains left in the granary, mixed with rice bran and stones to make up the number, and there is no real grain!"

Xiao Lingfeng was taken aback when he heard the words.He did order Ding Yue and others to go to the official granary in Yanhui Town first, but he just wanted to find out on the spur of the moment, so that he knew the grain reserves in Yanhui Town. Ding Yue realized something was wrong.

He tilted his head to glance at Zhuang Qingyue with a complicated expression, but saw that person sitting at the table drinking tea leisurely, as if he was completely out of the way.

Although Yanhui Town is an important town on the frontier, it is not up to King Jingbei to rectify the corruption of officials in such a small town.

It's just... Xiao Lingfeng couldn't help but glance at Zhuang Qingyue again.It's just that he didn't expect that Yanhui Town was actually one of the strongholds of the remnants of the previous dynasty, and it was also where they stockpiled food, so it was hard for him not to associate the two things together.

After a moment of silence, Xiao Lingfeng suppressed the doubts in his heart and turned his head to tell Ding Yue, with a serious tone: "Find another two people to collect evidence for this matter. When this matter is over, this king will come and settle it."

Waited and waited, but did not wait for Ding Yue to respond.

Looking down, he saw that Ding Yue was staring straight at his face without any rules, with a strange expression, as if he had seen a ghost.

Ding Yue's jaw-dropping expression was probably the last straw that crushed Xiao Lingfeng. He had no choice but to stop talking, and hurriedly walked towards the washbasin with big strides.

Zhuang Qingyue couldn't stop her, and finally asked Xiao Lingfeng to look in the mirror.

Seeing in the mirror the big man with upside-down eyebrows, drooping eye tails, sunken nose bridge and drooping mouth corners, Xiao Lingfeng rubbed his eyes, and then looked at Zhuang Qingyue in disbelief.

Don't say anything else, why do I have a straight nose?

What kind of hatred, what kind of resentment, you want to pinch me into Voldemort of the Dajing Dynasty?

"Cough." Zhuang Qingyue met his gaze, panicked to death, but still pretended to be calm and urged, "My lord, let's get down to business."

Xiao Ling's throat choked, and he gave him a look of "I'll settle the score with you later", and looked back at Ding Yue.

Ding Yue had already woken up when he turned around to look in the mirror, and now he lowered his head and shrugged his shoulders, obviously holding back a laugh.

Not to mention Ding Yue, if it wasn't him who was pinched in the face like this, he would have to laugh so hard that he couldn't breathe.

"Ahem." He cleared his throat and brought the topic back on track.

"We didn't come here for the official grain." He went through the information that Zhuang Qingyue had revealed earlier in his mind, "There is a hill to the southwest of Yanhui Town, where the soil is hard and dry, suitable for grain storage."

Ding Yue nodded.

Xiao Lingfeng continued: "If it's correct, there should be a cellar-like granary there, and the entrance and exit are also underground."

Ding Yue answered: "This subordinate will search for it again."

Xiao Lingfeng nodded, and glanced at Zhuang Qingyue, "The grain stored in the granary didn't come out of thin air. It had to be transported and distributed. The canal passes through Yanyan and returns to the southeast of the town. You should take someone to look for it at the southeast wharf. There should be clues."

"The more fanfare you have, the more you can deceive people. General Ding just looks for those who have done a lot of business and hired the most ships." Zhuang Qingyue received his gaze and opened her mouth to remind.

After thinking for a while, he said again: "I have never been to Yanhui Town in person, but I have heard people say it roughly. There are three secret passages arranged in this granary, only one can lead to the cellar, and the remaining two are heavily traps. "

He dipped his fingers in some tea, drew a rough map of Yanhui Town on the desktop, and then tapped some places with his fingers.

"According to my speculation, the entrances of the three secret passages should be in these positions, but whether it is true or not needs to be verified carefully by General Ding."

After all, although he had heard the location reported by his subordinates, he had never actually been there.

Now that the master has become wary of him, it is unknown whether the layout of the secret passage has been changed.

He glanced at Xiao Lingfeng, wondering if this person would retreat after hearing the secret way with many traps.

Here Xiao Lingfeng didn't know what he was thinking, but seeing his serious tone, he also told Ding Yue: "Report immediately after finding the entrance, and don't act rashly."

He said in a deep voice, "Safety comes first."

The author has something to say: Ah, sorry!It's late today!

Take Dajing to apologize to everyone who is at large Voldemort!

bow!
