Fifty-five

"With such a big mouth?" The thugs looked at them with bad intentions, and pointed at them with the sticks in their hands: "Take the silver out and see?" ”

Tan Xi smiled and said yes, revealing the bulging gold in his waist bag.

It's not silver, it's all gold.

It's really rare to be stupid like this in these years.

The thugs looked at each other and let them in, and one of them ran to the back of him to find someone.

After a while, someone who looked like a steward greeted Guard's group and asked them kindly, "Are you from other places?" What are you going to play? ”

Tan Xi didn't answer, but looked around and asked curiously: "Everyone is afraid of the Japanese Invaders, and it is rumored that the Japanese have taken away Lord Qincha, why are you still so lively here?" ”

The steward's face didn't even change, and he looked at them with a smile: "Where are there few places like this?" Without us, where would the guests go? Chincha-sama is Chincha-sama, and no one can affect our lives, right? ”

Tan Xi smiled, and while saying that it was such a reason, he followed him inside.

That person was quite kind, and after leading them into the door, he smiled: "I heard that you are distinguished guests, and you have a lot of money, since you want to have fun, I don't know what pastime you want to find?" ”

As he spoke, he told the game in the gambling house again.

Cockfighting and dog fighting are common, not worth mentioning at all, he said that the hottest thing now is to put people in an iron cage and sink into the lake, betting on whether that person can come out within a stick of incense.

This is gambling on the lives of the living, Tan Xi seemed to be stunned, frowned and asked a little stunned: "Gambling like this, does the government care?" ”

The steward smiled: "Since ancient times, can gambling on this kind of thing be forbidden?" As for those who pressed the plate, it was all voluntary. ”

They call this kind of person who is willing to gamble in the iron cage called the pressure plate.

Wei An smiled: "Since that's the case, let's bet on this." ”

They won the gamble in the end, and the success of the pressure plate escaped from the iron cage, climbed up the bottomless lake in the back mountain, and won a large sum of silver.

The steward's flattery was lucky: "There have been several pressure plates that have died, and as soon as you come, this pressure plate will live, what a nobleman, what a nobleman." ”

The presser was twisting his wet clothes, looked at them for a moment, seemed a little stunned, and then quickly turned away again.

Tan Xi had already recognized it, and said to Wei An with some eagerness: "Girl, that's ......"

That person was one of the brocade guards sent to Shen Chen by the imperial court.

I used to follow the building and came out.

Guardforce is familiar.

It's finally here.

They hurriedly asked the steward about the identity of the man, and the steward was a little dazed: "These pressure people all came voluntarily, we have rules here, we don't ask where he came from, we don't know what he does." ”

Tan Xi stuffed a thick amount of silver and asked the steward to help find out the pressure plate.

The steward agreed, and arranged a room for them to go back to their room to rest first.

Tan Xi had a cold face: "What are these people trying to do with so many ghosts?" ”

If they hadn't known that Jinyiwei had a traitor, they would really think that Shen Chen was in this gambling house.

As he was talking, there was a knock on the door outside, and the steward happily brought people in: "Found it, found it, found it!" ”

He pushed the pressure plate in, and walked away with a lot of interest.

Wei An looked at the brocade guard and asked him as if he was holding back his excitement, "Do you recognize me?" ”

The brocade-clothed guard pursed his lips, seemed to think for a while, and then recognized her, and asked with a surprised face: "County Lord?!" ”

Tan Xi snorted, with a solemn face: "The county lord received the news of Cedar, so he came to Dongchang Mansion specially, and he received a letter from Hou Ye on the first night of his arrival at the post house, saying that he was hiding in this gambling house. What the hell is going on, and why are you hiding here? What about the Hou Yeren? Why don't you look for the government?! ”

The Jinyi Wei smiled helplessly: "There is a thief in the Jinyi Guard!" We were hunted down while we were staying at the inn, but luckily we escaped. Hou Ye suspected that there was a traitor in Jinyiwei, so he was succeeded, so he didn't dare to show up, the day before yesterday he saw the mark left by Cedar, so he knew that the county lord you came to Dongchang Mansion, and I wanted to secretly send the letter over, we didn't expect you to really receive the letter so smoothly, and rushed over so quickly......"

Wei An hurriedly asked, "What about Shen Chen?" ”

is really anxious, it seems that he really cares about Shen Chen's safety.

The brocade guard frowned: "Hou Ye is seriously injured, and we don't dare to ask for a doctor, it is getting worse day by day, Hou Ye asked me to wait here." ”

Guard frowned, his face even more ugly.

She's lost all her mind.

didn't find any loopholes at all, urging that Jinyiwei to take her to Shen Chen quickly.

Women, no matter how smart they are, when they encounter something related to feelings, their reason immediately doesn't know where to fly.

Such a simple trap can't even be found.

The brocade-clothed guard lowered his head to hide the mockery and smugness in his eyes, and stood up: "I'll take a few of you over." ”

He felt that everyone was worried about it before, this Shouning County Lord had nothing difficult to deal with at all, and it seemed that her value was limited to luring Shen Chen out.

Thinking so, he turned his head and led the way with a little sarcasm.

Behind him, Wei An also showed a little invisible mockery in his eyes.

Any act of despising the opponent is better not to, she has known this since she was a child, and firmly remembers that she dare not or forget, but these brocade guards who should be more vigilant than her, they have forgotten.

The Brocade Guard led them through a pitch-black wood, and after a little further up the mountain, they finally came to a small cabin.

He stood still, pointed to the obviously dilapidated cabin, and said to Wei An and his party: "This is it, Master Hou is not lightly injured and cannot move." ”

As he spoke, he began to move forward.

Wei An and the others were also unguarded, hurriedly followed his footsteps, and couldn't wait to push open the broken door, and hurriedly shouted: "Shen Chen!" ”

But when Tan Xi lit the fire and finally lit up the house, everyone found that there was no seriously injured Pingxihou in the house.

Only a few men dressed in strange shapes were wiping the knives in their hands.

Wakos.

This was Tan Xi's first thought, and then his face turned pale.
