This deck of playing cards was not brought from later generations. I never thought of this before traveling through time. It was only after I got bored that I thought of this entertainment activity.

This playing card was made by themselves in the space. It was made of thick cardboard made of wood pulp, then cut into the size of playing cards and painted with colorful paints.

Although it is not as beautiful as the playing cards of later generations, and the cardboard is not as delicate and white, it is hard enough.

Then the pattern above was drawn by Qingyan herself. Of course, it was relatively simple. It was enough to distinguish the black, red, plum, square, J, Q, K. There was a flower in the middle, but the pattern was too complicated and Qingyan couldn't draw it.

Even this did not affect their addiction. Once they learned green bamboo and gold, they couldn't stop. They didn't even have to play with money. They played all afternoon. If Chou Chou hadn't forgotten to stare at that person, they would have I can't even remember it.

It wasn't until Yang Qiaoer knocked on the door and asked them why they didn't go down for dinner that they realized it was already past six o'clock.

Because it was very cloudy during the rainy day and the lights were on in the house, I didn't notice the time.

The rain outside has stopped now, but the sky still hasn't cleared up, and it always looks like evening.

They packed up the playing cards, tables, chairs and benches and went downstairs with Yang Qiaoer.

The Yang family has already taken a seat and is waiting for the restaurant waiter to deliver the food.

Yes, they had already made a reservation for dinner at noon, which was paid for by Qingyan and the others. Yang Pingan felt a little sorry, so he made a reservation for the evening.

Qingyan and the others also think this is better. Interactions with each other make people feel more comfortable. It would be boring if one party always pays for it.

After eating and staying for a while, they went back to the room. They thought that the person would leave at night or cause trouble after the rain stopped. Unexpectedly, the other person didn't do anything, so they slept peacefully all night.

Qingyan and the others did not even enter the space in order to keep an eye on him. Of course, it also had something to do with the fact that they were full. The food in the restaurant was delicious. If they were still eating the food from the inn, they would definitely go into the space and open a small stove.

It was a quiet night. Except for the occasional cough, there was no movement. No one was walking on the street outside.

When I woke up the next morning, it was sunny outside, the sun came out, and everyone started to move.

Those who packed their things packed up, and those who went to the stores outside to replenish their supplies. Chou Chou also went to the breakfast shop with Yang Pingan and bought a lot of things.

Soup noodles and fried noodles are today's breakfast. Carrot cake and the dark sesame cake are the dry food brought on the road, saved for lunch.

After the meal, when they finished paying the bills, packed up their things and loaded the carriage, others, including the third young master and his party, also set up the carriage.

When they left the inn one after another, the "official servant" also came out. Chou Chou said that he put the night clothes in his bag and took it with him.

Qingyan frowned, not understanding what the other party was doing.

If the other party doesn't care about others knowing that he is wearing night clothes, then there is no need to secretly take them off and hide them under the bed. It would be better to just wash and dry them openly.

But if he cared about it, now he put it on his body again, and Chou Chou said that the blood stains on the clothes were still there, so he just stuffed it into the baggage like that.

This means that the weather is not hot yet. If it were summer, flies would probably circle around it. After all, the smell of blood is actually very strong. If you use a little nose, you can smell it even if you are close.

She didn't know what the other party wanted to do. Yes, Qingyan suspected that the other party wanted to cause trouble or do some small tricks. Otherwise, what was the purpose of wearing such clothes on her body? It couldn't be that she couldn't bear to part with the clothes. .

Wouldn't it be better to wash it and put it away? In that case, if you sew it again, you won't be able to tell there is anything wrong with the clothes. But now that the other party keeps the blood stains and knife edges on it and puts it directly in the bag, there must be something wrong with it. of.

And the only thing in the bag was that piece of clothing and some dry food. Yesterday and the night before, the other party didn't change his clothes after taking a shower. He just put his clothes back on without changing at all.

Of course, this was what Chou Chou told her, and she didn't do anything to peek at other people's baths.

I don’t know what the other party told the five people driving the bullock cart, but they ended up sitting on the bullock cart.

Qingyan thought he was looking for the third young master and his party. After all, they had six carriages, and they could fit in any carriage.

Even if they weren't in the third young master's motorcade, the carriages they had were probably better than the ox-carts. If nothing else, at least they had carriages.

Although there are female dependents inside, it is definitely inconvenient for the other party to sit in. The most they can do is sit on the shaft of the cart outside, but it is better than the ox cart pulling a load of goods. After all, the cart behind that cart is The four of them were all walking, so relatively speaking the speed was much slower.

Wait, did they overlook something? Qingyan always felt that there was something that she had overlooked, and she couldn't think of it for the moment, so she could only keep her consciousness there.

Listening to the man chatting with the driver of the bullock cart, they all talked about trivial matters. From time to time, he would also say a few words to the four people walking on both sides.

It didn't look like they were talking about secret codes or anything, it was like they had just met each other and were asking about some basic information about each other. There was nothing suspicious about them.

Even as he was talking, he occasionally glanced at the third young master's motorcade in front of him. Of course, there was no special expression on his face, and there was nothing in his eyes. It didn't look like he was planning something.

Moreover, the convoy was right in front of them, and the speed was not much faster. They walked slowly without moving away from each other, so it was normal for the other party to glance at them.

These people had just left the town and had not yet reached Guandao. They still had to walk a short distance.

That's right, Shayin Town is not directly on the official road. You have to go south from the official road for a short distance to enter the town. It's not far. You can see the town from the official road, which is just a few hundred meters away. distance.

And although this road is a small road, it is not narrow, not much different from the official road, and the road is paved with stone slabs. Even if it rained all day yesterday, there is no water on the road and it is not very slippery.

It can’t be said that it’s not slippery at all. After all, it’s a slate. It rains a lot here and there will be some moss over time. It’s still a bit slippery when walking on it. However, the slate is made up of small pieces and is not a single piece. , so there are many gaps in the middle, which can also play an anti-slip role. Horses and people will not slip when walking on it.

It was a quick walk for a few hundred meters, and it only took a few minutes to reach the official road. This section of the road was relatively flat after all, with flat ground on both sides. Of course, when we say it is flat land, it means relative to the kind of mountain forest. In fact, they have been walking on the mountainous land. Even the official road has always been ups and downs. Sometimes it goes uphill and sometimes it goes downhill. But there is no such steep slope, so there is no such thing. It's just so obvious.

Drainage ditches were dug on both sides of the official road. It rained heavily yesterday, so a lot of water accumulated in the drainage ditch, almost flush with the road surface.

Fortunately, the water in the drainage ditch is flowing, and they are walking downhill now. Even if they are going slowly downhill, it is still downhill, so the water is flowing eastward, which means they are walking in the direction of the current.

Because there were many vehicles on the road together, and there was an ox cart at the front, which was moving at a slower pace, they couldn't go any faster.

They could drive a carriage to overtake them. After all, there was only an ox cart in front of them, and they could pick it up as quickly as they passed.

But the third young master's motorcade did not move forward to overtake, so those who were following had no choice but to follow.

Their current order is that there is an ox cart in front, followed by the third young master's six-carriage convoy, then the five-person team driving the ox cart plus the "official servants", and then Qingyan and the others. .

There was a carriage behind them. They all came out of the Shayin Town Inn together and had not met anyone else on the road.

It must be because it rained yesterday. I haven't gone out before. Those who went out today haven't come here yet, even those coming from the opposite direction.

Suddenly, Chou Chou, who was driving the car with Huang Jin in front, sent a message to Qingyan: "There is a mountain forest about five miles ahead. There are more than a dozen people ambush in the mountain forest. They all have big knives in their hands and are dressed like the "official servants". "The same black clothes I took off yesterday.

I don’t know if it’s because I have no experience, or if I am ambush here at night and don’t have time to change. That color ambush can be easily spotted in the mountain forest, that is, the trees are denser and can cover them. "

Qingyan was stunned and couldn't help guessing: "Isn't this "official officer" an accomplice of them? He came to the town first to investigate the situation? See if there are any fat sheep that can be robbed, just like the third young master Category.

After all, it seems at first glance that he is not the kind to carry less money, and the robbery is worth it.

Not to mention anything else, those six carriages were worth a lot of money. "

It's just that they had been keeping an eye on the "officer" before. When did he deliver the news?

Even if you use some kind of signal carrier pigeon, you still can't escape Chou Chou's spiritual surveillance.

Chouchou denied, "They shouldn't be from the same group. The people who ambushed them have a strong bloody aura and they are the kind who have killed many people.

Moreover, the black aura is heavier, indicating that he is the kind of person who likes to do evil everywhere, and this person does not have any bad aura on him. If he is a member of a group, even if he does not kill people with his own hands, he will be contaminated with it, not at all. Zhanran is impossible. "

Qingyan rolled her eyes, "Could it be that the other party was really an official on a mission, who had infiltrated into this gang before, and was discovered after being exposed, so he escaped injured?

But now that the other party is wearing this official uniform, isn't he looking for death? There are more than a dozen people on the other side, but he is alone. No matter how good his kung fu is, it is difficult for him to beat four hands with two fists.

If he didn't wear the official uniform but just a casual dress, he might be able to get away with it, or make up an excuse to fool people. But now it's obvious that he's an undercover agent."

Chou Chou was amused by her statement, "The direction that the man came from before was different from the direction where the bandits were. If he had come here to investigate, how could he have come from west to east? It shouldn't be from east to west." go?
And what is the operation of coming over after inquiring about the news? Shouldn't they be bringing in reinforcements to support them? They wouldn't want to take care of these people alone. "

Qingyan pursed her lips and continued to use her brain: "Then there is another possibility, that is, these robbers who are planning to rob have other accomplices. Those people are in other places. If they see any fat sheep, they will inform them in advance. The kind of news.

Otherwise, how would they know if they could rob money? They couldn't always lie in wait here.

It was like a hidden stake or an eye liner, and the "officer" happened to encounter him, and he was also fighting with those people. After getting the news, he was discovered and injured.

As for wearing official uniforms now, it should be more convenient for doing things. At least there will be a lot less suspicion and defensiveness when coming into contact with them.

Of course, it is also possible that the robbers changed their original plan and did not intend to ambush here before, so the other party did not know that there was an ambush here.

The other party wants to go back to the county to find foreign aid. After all, the direction we are taking now is towards Yong'an County. Didn't you say that we will reach Yong'an County if we walk more than ten miles further.

It is impossible to say that this official officer went to the county town to mobilize reinforcements, but he did not expect that the robbers would actually set up an ambush here. He had no idea about it, so he wore the clothes of an official officer. If he had known about it, he would definitely have avoided it.

Chou Chou nodded, okay, it admitted that Qingyan's guess was a bit reliable, but it didn't know if it was right or not. After all, it didn't know what the person was thinking, and it couldn't read minds. The key was that the other person didn't Without any actions, you can't guess the other party's purpose.

Maybe the other party is related to the robbers, but they are just the ones responsible for investigating the situation outside. It is not necessarily that they have no contact with each other.

If the stall is large and they belong to different departments, even if they are accomplices, they may not necessarily know each other.

If someone is responsible for inquiring about information, does not take part in any action, and has not had any thoughts of killing, then there is a chance that he will not have any sinister aura about him.

Anyway, it didn't see any virtue or righteousness in the other party. Huang Jin also said that although the other party was not evil, he was not kind, just an ordinary person with some small thoughts.

At this time, Jin Yang suddenly sent a message to them: "Are you talking about the man in official uniform sitting on the bullock cart in front?"

Qingyan quickly replied: "Yes, yes, Jin Yang, have you seen him?"

Jin Yang: "Yes, I did meet that person before, right over in Qushui Town.

After I set up the formation, I didn't rush here immediately. Instead, I went back to Qushui Town and sealed all the tunnel exits there.

At that time, this man was at the mayor's house in Qushui Town. When I went to seal the entrance and exit there, I saw him with my spiritual consciousness.

I was also wearing official official attire at that time, so I was quite impressed. "
