Chapter 649: Surveillance
Rough, vast, endless desert, except for the yellow sand everywhere, there is not even a single tree or grass, and it looks very desolate. Fortunately, on top of this endless yellow sand, there are two figures, which look like a man and a woman. The woman stood still, and the man raised his hand to the woman's cheek, looking intimate. In addition, above the heads of the man and the woman, there was another cloud floating, which seemed to shield the two from the scorching sun.
This is a painting, although there are few brushstrokes, but the painting is very vivid. It's not lifelike, but it seems to give a sense of the emotions contained in the scene.
This painting is the content of the letter in the envelope.
"What does that mean?" Fox Xiaoxian looked at the three things on the stone table in puzzlement: a fairly good painting; an obviously used, ordinary silver beaded hairpin; and a brand-new silver ticket of one hundred taels of silver. These three things that were already inexplicable were put together, and suddenly became even more inexplicable.
"There must be some meaning to these things, but ......" Li Xiaobai tapped his head with his knuckles in pain, "The question is what the point is, the person who sent the letter is sick in the brain." ”
"Forget it." Hu Xiaoxian shook his head, "Let's not guess, I'll tell Xiao Jiu about this, maybe he knows the meaning of these things." I estimate that nine times out of ten, these things were sent by the heroes. ”
"Okay." The other three didn't have a good way, so they let Fox Xiaoxian call the shots.
………………………………………
More than ten miles outside Xiangyang City, there is a small hillside. Standing on the hillside, looking south is Xiangyang City, looking north, there is a large dense forest, and you can easily see that there is a long river crossing through the dense forest, dividing the dense forest into two halves.
Two hours after they received the letter, the sun was setting in the west, but it became even more vicious, and the leaves and grass were a little wilted.
This weather, it's really a bit abnormal, it's hot. Originally, there should be a lot of pedestrians on the road in Xiangyang City, but under the "scorching" of the big sun in the sky, most people chose to hide at home. Even when you go out, try to pick up a shady place to walk.
"What the hell is this weather......" In the teahouse, the guests poured cup after cup of herbal tea into their mouths, scolding, obviously very dissatisfied with this temperature.
Some people are scolding, but some people are quiet and low-key, for example, Situ who is sitting in the corner at this moment, wearing a short cloth shirt, slowly sipping herbal tea.
Situ looked very leisurely, very leisurely, and even gave people the impression that he was just a person who came to Xiangyang City to play. To put it bluntly, he didn't seem to be here to help Mu Xiaojiu at all, and just yesterday he had just killed more than a dozen enemies with poison.
A dove flapped its wings and flew in, and then landed on Situ's noisy shoulder. Situ took a note from the pigeon phantom, looked at it twice, crumpled the note into a ball, and threw it on the table.
Pouring half a bowl of herbal tea in the bowl into his mouth, Situ squinted his eyes and smiled, wiped his mouth with satisfaction, put the tea bowl back on the table, stood up, and walked directly to the outside of the teahouse.
When Situ walked to the door, in the noisy teahouse, there was a table of guests who glanced at each other, then nodded lightly and made a few gestures to each other.
The gang had been following Situ for a whole day. Yesterday they received an order to increase the intensity of surveillance to the maximum. Who would have thought that he happened to encounter Situ making trouble and poisoning more than ten warriors from the Western Regions, and accidentally exposed his feet. Coupled with Beigong Nancheng, which was exposed the day before yesterday, and Qianli Mojian, who was also exposed yesterday, they stared at three people at once.
Now, they naturally don't want to mess with this Situ, it's too easy to be exposed if they rush to follow. When he got outside, naturally there were other people who would continue to keep an eye on Situ's whereabouts. The gesture they had just made was to ask one of them to see what was written on the note that Situ had accidentally missed.
After the gesture, a person at the table looked around, pretended to pick up the tea bowl, and then "accidentally" spilled it on his body.
At this time, the second child in the teahouse happened to walk to the table where Situ was making trouble.
"!" The man scolded, got up and walked behind Xiao Er, raised his hand and patted Xiao Er's shoulder, "Xiao Er, give me your cloth to use." Drinking tea and spilling all over it, it's really ......"
Xiao Er hurriedly handed the clean cloth pinned to his waist to the man, and the other guests in the teahouse lost interest and looked away when they saw that it was not a big deal. Taking advantage of the opportunity, the man wiped the tea on his body with a cloth while secretly putting away the paper ball on the table.
"Alright." After wiping his hands twice and roughly drying the tea on his body, the man handed the cloth back to Xiao Er, and then turned around and returned to his table.
"What's written on the paperball?" A man whispered.
The man spread out his hand, opened the note that had been crumpled by Situ Nao, and then read softly, "Situ Nao, you owe the old lady a meal...... What is this? ”
"I said, how could that kid be careless enough to throw the pigeon book on the table." The questioner shook his head, "I guess it's written blindly, it's okay, it doesn't matter, he's dying anyway......"
"Alas......" A burly man at the table suddenly changed his face and reached out and pressed his temple.
"What's wrong?" The other three all turned their heads to look at the man, a little strange.
"I don't know." The burly man shook his head, "Suddenly there was a little headache, and it wasn't that dull pain, it was that ...... Anyway, it's like the pain of being pricked by a needle. ”
"Huh?" Taking the note, the man gave the man a strange look: "Why do you have so many bloodshot eyes?" I don't remember it before. ”
"And say me, aren't you the same yourself?"
"Wait, something is wrong......" The questioner suddenly said, "Neither of you had this ...... before"
"Shhh...... Yes! At this moment, the man at the table, who had not spoken, suddenly let out a scream and covered his head with his hands, "It hurts!" ”
"This ......" The man who asked the question was shocked, and the hairs on his body stood up instantly. In this situation, how could he not have imagined that these three people were probably poisoned.
The next moment, he suddenly felt a needle poke the top of his head.
