Tian Sheng Monster Hunting

Chapter 22 Siege
Wen Ming looked at His Highness, then at Song Yi who was full of surprise, and said, "Aren't there no postmasters here, only shopkeepers?"

"That was a joke among the subordinates. The little one is usually kind and kind, so let them push their noses in the face."

The man responded with a smile, but it made people feel that he was not smiling. He was about 40 to [-] years old. His face was full of beards, like dense grass, and his eyes were like two bugs hidden in the grass. The circle is small and bright.

Wen Ming murmured in his heart, just now when he made a sound, the boy ran away in fright, obviously he was usually fierce.

Full of lies.

"Are you a few high-ranking officials from Beijing?"

"Just ordinary business."

The shopkeeper smiled, noncommittal.

The boy just brought the food, and the shopkeeper brought the food to the table himself.

Sheng Yang frowned slightly when he smelled a strange smell.

Surprisingly, there are several more types of food than what was mentioned just now, and Wen Ming also specially prepared the dishes that Wen Ming wanted.

"Didn't you just say that there are only beef and noodles?"

"Yeah, the food here is so expensive and you can't afford it." Wen Ming said with a strange air.

The man apologized and said with a smile, "Just now, my subordinates have blind eyes and don't know Taishan. I can tell you are first-class people at a glance. I will give these things to you."

The taste of these food was unexpectedly good, Song Yi muttered for a while, he didn't expect that this inn looked dilapidated, but in fact, he would enjoy it so much in private.

After eating, Wen Ming was about to help Sheng Yang go out, but Sheng Yang said, "Clean up a few guest rooms, and I won't leave tonight."

Wen Ming and Song Yi looked at each other, Wen Ming was clear in his heart, already knew that His Highness thought this place was strange and wanted to stay and find out what the hell they were doing.

The shopkeeper personally led them upstairs. The inn only has two floors, but it is very big. There are some small rooms with dust on the doors in front of them. Some door locks are broken, and no one has lived there for a long time.

Going up a few more rooms, there are some newer ones. The shopkeeper led Sheng Yang into this room, which seems to be the newest one. There are still water stains on the door frame, tables and chairs, and it looks like it has just been cleaned up.

It seemed that he had expected that he would stay here overnight.

"You step back and leave us alone."

The shopkeeper seemed to be hesitating for a moment, "Okay, my lords have something to tell you."

Sheng Yang asked Wen Ming and Song Yi to send people to check the windows of the surrounding rooms, and to surround her room tightly. Then he felt relieved and said, "Just now, this person has a strange smell."

She seemed to be recalling that smell, wrinkling her nose.

"I didn't hear it..."

Wen Ming looked at Song Yi with some doubts, and Song Yi shook his head.

Sheng Yang thought for a moment, then took out a sachet the size of a thumb from his bosom, looked left and right, "Maybe this thing works."

"This?" Wen Ming opened his mouth wide, "Isn't this the amulet given to you by Taifu Duan at that time, to resist the invasion of monsters? Didn't you say that this is useless, ruler..."

He looked at Song Yi, and swallowed the half-sentence, "There used to be a monster who wanted to get close to His Highness, but this amulet didn't move at all...

"strangeness."

Song Yi understood the main point of the words, "Don't worry about whether this amulet is useful or not, doesn't it mean that the shopkeeper just now may be a demon?"

"That's right!" Wen Ming patted Song Yi on the head, "Our Commander Song is really too smart."

Song Yi felt that Wen Ming was teasing him, but he patted his head like a big brother, which made him feel very useful again, and his face turned red for a while.

Sheng Yang and Wen Ming looked at each other and smiled.

"Your Highness, what should we do now? I don't know what the purpose of his courtship to us is. We only have 30 soldiers and horses, and none of them can catch monsters. There is not much chance of winning. We should have just left."

"Song Yi, you should write to Yun Yang immediately and ask him to find a team of monster hunters in Beiguan to support... This Luzhou post station is too weird. In such a big post station, even the shopkeeper is a demon. Now that the fortress is occupied, how can the supply of the Weibei army keep up?"

Only then did Song Yi realize that he slapped the table and stood up, "Oh no, I don't know what's going on with our army of Weibei!"

Wen Ming pressed him down, "Don't worry, General Yun Yang is not a vegetarian either. There is another thing more terrifying than this..." He whispered, "It's been so long, and no one has reported it to Pingyang Pingyang has never heard of this matter, but imagine how powerful the power behind him is."

"Yes! Your Highness, this place is dangerous. We'd better send you out first, and come back to investigate later."

Song Yi said while writing vigorously.

"Do you think we can still go out? I think your letter is also hanging."

Wen Ming looked out the window.

At this time in the evening, the scorching sun shone in the west, and the straw on the roof of the post house was covered with a layer of fire-like light. The difference from the time when we came was that the yard had been cleaned up, and there were a few more usable horses in the stables. A team of boys.

"It looks like nothing happened." Song Yi looked closer to the window.

"They should always cover up like this...you see..."

He pointed to the southwest corner under his eyelids, there was a vaguely shaking hem, and then pointed to the other corner, and it was the same.Just now, there were only three or five people in the lobby, but with the count now, there are more than ten people even at the door and downstairs.

"We are surrounded!" Song Yi growled.

"There are so many people coming and going, why do you choose to attack us? Is it because we are rich?"

Song Yi thought of the shopkeeper's flattering face just now.

Sheng Yang recalled the change of Chi Qiang's attitude just now, and speculated:
"What he is afraid of is that we will pass this matter back to Pingyang."

"But this post station is a must pass from Luzhou to Pingyang. There are so many people coming and going every day, and he has to take care of it?"

Seeing that his confused look was really cute, Sheng Yang chuckled and explained patiently:

"There are people coming and going here, he can't restrain them one by one, but he can control this place, there should be high-ranking officials behind him. Ordinary people and even officials are not a threat to him. They are nothing more than dissatisfaction and creating some It’s just rumors. Even if it spreads to Pingyang, it won’t reach Shengting, it’s only spread among the officials, and the factions of Beijing officials have complicated relationships, and the officials just kept silent and then disappeared.”

She paused, then looked at Wen Ming again, quite serious.

"I'm afraid he is only afraid of high-ranking officials like us in Beijing, especially those who can reach Shengting."

Speaking of this, Wen Ming was a little apprehensive, "Your Highness, he won't do anything to us, will he?"

Sheng Yang's dark eyes sank, "There are more dangers than fortune."

"Then what to do! Your Highness, I swear to protect your safety to the death!"

Wen Ming patted the back of his bowed head again, "Shut up! Don't say unlucky things."

"It's okay," Sheng Yang said calmly, "Reinforcements are already on the way."

Seeing that His Highness was so confident, Song Yi was relieved a lot, and even smiled foolishly.

Only Wen Ming, like the roundworm in Sheng Yang's stomach, observed her restless hand rubbing the teacup, sighed in his heart, and calculated carefully, Miss Chi said that it would take three days to do something by herself, that is, Said that it would take three days for her to catch up, danger, danger.
