Chapter 604: Night Walking
Qi Feng immediately said: "Master Hou, the package in the hands of the Qinghai-Tibetan Lama is a little strange, they seem to cherish it very much, what is in it, it makes people wonder." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Wu Dalin said softly: "Master Hou, the lamas themselves may not be strange, but their appearance in Eastern Qi is really strange. Qinghai-Tibet is located in the west of the Western Empire, thousands of miles away from the Eastern Qi Dynasty, and the Tao Shangshu said that they traveled to the Eastern Qi Dynasty, which I think is definitely not true. ”
Qi Ning smiled: "Do you think there is fraud in this?" ”
"If they can travel to Eastern Qi, why didn't they come to 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 Great Chu and come to Eastern Qi?" He smiled faintly: "If you want to have a long experience, my Great Chu has a vast land and magnificent scenery, but it is not comparable to the small countries of Eastern Qi, why did they give up Great Chu and come to Eastern Qi?" ”
Qi Feng also said: "The surname Tao also said that the monarch of Eastern Qi listened to these lamas, but he also heard that the monarch of Eastern Qi likes Buddhism, and it is difficult to see temples in Eastern Qi." Dongqi treated these lamas as guests and let them stay in the post house, which was not the treatment of traveling monks. ”
Qi Ning said softly: "Do you know anything about the Ancient Elephant Kingdom?" ”
Qi Feng and the others glanced at each other, they all shook their heads slightly, and Wu Dalin said: "Master Hou, the last general has spent two years in the Western Sichuan Army, which is stationed in the western region, saying that it is to guard against the alien races of Qinghai and Tibet, but he rarely deals with them. The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is dominated by the Tuyuhun people, and the ancient elephant kingdom is a dynasty established by the Tuyuhun people, controlling the Qinghai-Tibet ......! After a pause, he said: "Master Hou, could it be that the Ancient Elephant Kingdom secretly colluded with Eastern Qi and plotted against it?" ”
Qi Ning shook his head and said, "I don't know, if that's the case, then the object of their plot can only be my Da Chu." Wei Yi groaned and said: "But this possibility is very small, one of these two countries is in the far west, and the other is in the east, thousands of miles apart, even if you want to form an alliance and have a plan, it is not enough to say three or two sentences." He chuckled and said, "But I'm also very curious about what is in that package, and if I look at what is inside, I may be able to solve my doubts." ”
Qi Feng said: "Looking at them, those lamas are very difficult to see if they want to see the precious life. ”
Qi Ning said with a smile: "That's it, everyone has worked hard along the way, and the monarch of Eastern Qi will not be able to meet you in two days, so everyone will have a good rest and recuperate in these two days." Leader Wu, the Northern Han people are around, we still have to be more careful, send more people to guard in shifts, let's not mess with them, if they provoke them, don't be polite. ”
Wu Dalin said with a smile: "Don't worry, Master Hou, if they don't come, forget it, if they dare to come to our side, no matter who it is, they will be arrested immediately." ”
After dinner, someone cleaned it up, and everyone dispersed.
Qi Ning rested for a while, and waited until the dead of night to change into black clothes, cover his mouth and nose, and then turn out of the back window.
His martial arts are not what they used to be, and he quietly left the West Garden, knowing that the lamas lived in the back garden of the post house, and went straight to the back garden, climbed over the wall, and saw that there were several houses on the edge of a pool in the back garden, one of which was lit, but there were two lamas in front of the door with long sticks to guard, knowing that those lamas lived here.
Qi Ning thought to himself that although the number of these lamas was not many, but they traveled thousands of miles to come to the Eastern Qi Dynasty, they must not be ordinary people, before in front of the post house, these lamas were not afraid of the Northern Han people, and almost started to move, at that time, seeing their posture, it was obvious that they still had some kung fu.
Although Qi Ning has always believed in himself, he has never been complacent, although his martial arts are not bad, he has never despised others, and he is careful about these lamas who do not know the details.
Today, Gong Tashi was holding a package in his hand, mysterious and secretive, Qi Ning was very curious in his heart, he couldn't be sure why these lamas had come to Eastern Qi through mountains and rivers, and always felt that there must be an ulterior secret in it, and he wanted to try his luck to see if he could find an opportunity to peek into what was in the package.
He was like a ghost, and went around to the back of the house, but fortunately there were no lamas patrolling behind the room, Qi Ning slowly approached the back of the room with the lights on, and vaguely heard a sound from inside the house, he leaned against the wall, and looked inside, only to see a round table in the room, several lamas sat around the round table, and in the middle of the round table, it was the package, wrapped in a gray cloth towel, and look at the shape, boxy, like a box in it.
Nagong Tashi clasped his hands together and was talking something, but what he said was obviously his own dialect, Qi Ning couldn't understand it, only to see that several other lamas were solemn, Gong Tashi said a few words, and several of them nodded slightly.
Qi Ning knew what they were discussing, but unfortunately they couldn't understand the words, Gong Tashi said for a while, and then saw a lama get up, turn around and go out, and it didn't take long for him to come in, holding a wooden box in his hand, and put it on the table, Qi Ning was strange, but he saw Gong Tashi take something from his arms, shining with golden light, opened the wooden box, put it in it, and then closed it, and took a gray brocade cloth, wrapped the wooden box, and for a while, the two packages were put together, almost identical, difficult to identify.
Qi Ning didn't know what medicine these lamas sold in the gourd, but he saw that Gong Tashi had already picked up the previous package, whispered a few words, and then went out with the package, and the remaining lamas were sitting around the round table, and the wooden box that was wrapped up later was placed in the middle of the round table, Qi Ning counted it, and after Gong Tashi left, there were still four lamas sitting around the round table, all with their hands folded, and it seemed that they were going to guard here.
Qi Ning's eyes rolled, and he finally understood the intentions of this group of lamas.
There is no doubt that the wooden box prepared later was obviously a fake real package, but it was used to confuse, and the group of lamas were obviously extremely careful, even if many people guarded it, they seemed to be worried that the package would be lost, so they deliberately prepared a fake package and put it on the table, and the real package was taken away by Gong Tashi.
They painstakingly designed, and it can be seen that the things in the package are really extremely important to them, Qi Ning was already curious about what was in the package, at this time seeing them so careful, the curiosity was even stronger, he saw that after Nagong Tashi went out, he went to the left, and now he was attached to the wall, and also touched to the left, there were five or six houses in this row, and when he touched the one on the side, he heard a "crunch" sound, it seemed that someone had opened the room, Qi Ning immediately paused, got up close to the window, and gently punctured the window paper, Looking through the small hole, I saw that the room was extremely quiet, and I saw that a shadow had flashed into the room, and from the outline, it was Gong Tashi.
After Gong Tashi entered the house, he closed the door with his hand, and even tied the door bolt, looked around, naturally he couldn't find Qi Ning behind the house, walked to the middle of the house, squatted down, carefully put the package at his feet, leaned out a hand, palm down, and pulled it upward, but Qi Ning was shocked to see that a stone brick on the ground was actually sucked up by Gong Taxi's palm.
This kung fu is quite good, Qi Ning has long felt that this group of lamas is not simple, and seeing Gong Taxi's palm sucking bricks, he is even more sure that this group of lamas is not trivial.
Gong Tashi put the stone brick aside, then carefully picked up the package, and put it away, Qi Ning only then found that under the stone brick, there was a hole dug, and the package was actually put into it completely, and I don't know if there was a hole in the ground for a long time, or if these lamas had dug it in advance.
O Gonzashi hid the package in it, and then he put the stone brick back on, and made sure that there was nothing unusual, and then he got up, and came to the back window.
Qi Ning immediately lowered his body, squatted under the window, held his breath, heard the window being pushed open, raised his head slightly, at this time, if he was discovered by Gong Taxi, he could only leave quickly, he was confident that with his current efforts, it would not be difficult to leave this back garden.
Gong Tashi obviously didn't expect that what he did was actually seen by Qi Ningju, but he just opened the window and swept it, only thinking that there was no one around, so he closed the window, and in the darkness, he didn't even find the fine hole in the window paper, and then went out, Qi Ning breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that his luck was really good, if he hadn't arrived in time, Gong Tashi hid the package here, how could he know.
He thought to himself that these lamas were too careful, if they didn't play these tricks, a few lamas guarded the package all night, but people couldn't do it, this is good, for the sake of secrecy, Gong Tashi hid the package under the floor tiles of this room, it seems to be indeed secret, but unfortunately now seen by Qi Ning, this piece of fat is equivalent to falling into Qi Ning's mouth.
Qi Ning took a deep breath, got up, and was about to push open the window and go in, but suddenly heard a voice overhead, the sound was extremely soft, if it weren't for Qi Ning's deep internal strength and always vigilant, he was afraid that it would be difficult to find, he knew that something was wrong, his body was like a charm, and he immediately flashed to the left, fortunately, this is the most marginal house, Qi Ning turned to the side, and looked slightly, just to see a figure falling from the roof.
Qi Ning's heart sank, he thought that he was the only one peeping at Gongzha hiding the package, but he didn't want to have a fellow Taoist, he peeked in the back window, that person was obviously peeping on the roof, if this person had anything to do with this group of lamas, it was impossible to hide on the roof in the middle of the night, and only waited for Gongzashi to leave before coming down from the roof.
The man was dressed in a night suit, and he was also masked, only revealing a pair of eyes, looking left and right, only thinking that no one was seeing, so he reached out and pushed open the back window, his body was light, and he had turned over and entered the house.
Qi Ning sneered in his heart, secretly thinking that he was not the only one who was staring at this group of lamas, he touched it lightly, leaned against the wall, and looked inside, only to see that the person had already walked to the place where the package was hidden, squatted down, and was carefully taking out the stone bricks from the ground, the movement was extremely light and very strange.
