Chapter 526 Temptation and Secret Path(1/2)
Zhang Jin came to the hall downstairs and saw the caravan guys who were getting ready, Liang Cai who was walking among the crowd saying some precautions, and Huang Gang who was delivering dry food to the caravan guys.
"Sir, you're up. What would you like to eat in the morning?" Liang Cai turned around and asked enthusiastically.
"A bowl of mutton noodle soup, remember, it's mutton noodle soup." Zhang Jin casually found an empty table and sat down.
"Okay, I'll write it down. Sir, please wait a moment."
"Remember to be careful when putting the noodle soup, I don't want to taste any strange flavor in it."
Liang Cai paused, turned around and said with a smile: "Of course, I will definitely satisfy you, sir."
"Go ahead."
After taking away the beam material, Zhang Jin took out a pair of chopsticks from the chopstick holder, washed them with water, wiped them clean with silk cloth, then put a chopstick in his hand and played with the pen, playing with it casually when he was bored.
.
He learned the pen-turning method when he was still in school. It was quite popular in the class at that time. Although he did not have any advanced pen-turning skills, he could still use simple techniques to make the pen keep spinning between his fingers.
On the second floor, several Tatars had just come out of their rooms.
"Hossess, look at the way that Jin Yiwei spins chopsticks is very special." Hagang Tongga signaled.
Chang Xiaowen looked at it for a while and then curled up his lips: "No wonder there are no calluses on his hands. It turns out he is really playing dirty tricks. Let's go down and try how capable he is!"
Both of them spoke in Tatar. Although Zhang Jin noticed their observations of him, he could not understand what they said.
The footsteps behind him gradually approached, Zhang Jin did not turn his head to look, his right hand was still spinning the chopsticks, but his whole body was already on high alert.
As he got closer and closer, Chang Xiaowen gave Hagang Tongga a look, and Hagang Tongga nodded knowingly.
"Hey, sir, the hot mutton noodle soup has just come out!" Liang Cai walked over quickly carrying a large bowl of mutton noodle soup on a plate without even looking at Tatar.
He placed the bowl of mutton noodle soup in front of Zhang Jin: "Sir, everything is done according to your instructions, please use it slowly! I won't disturb your meal, please leave now."
Zhang Jin stopped spinning the chopsticks in his hand and was about to taste the bowl of mutton noodle soup.
Sudden!
An angry curse came from the side, and then a tall and burly figure suddenly fell down on the table next to him. The power was so powerful that even the table and bowls could be smashed!
The other party spoke Tatar, which Zhang Jin could not understand, but it did not prevent him from guessing that the other party was acting.
Bang!
Ha Gang Tong Ga's burly and tall body directly smashed onto the table. However, the tables that can be used in Longmen Inn are not ordinary ones. Solid hardwood tables that have survived intact after being chopped by swords are not so easily smashed.
.
"Huh?" Hagang Tongga felt that the wooden table behind him felt wrong, a bit too flat.
He looked up at Chang Xiaowen, only to find that the other person was looking to the side, so he also turned to look to the side.
But he saw Zhang Jinhao sitting upright on the table next to him, with his feet on the bench, looking like a big golden sword, and holding a bowl of mutton noodle soup steadily in his hand.
Seeing everyone looking at him, Zhang Jin just smiled faintly, and while stirring the noodles with chopsticks, he said: "You want to eat mutton noodles, don't you scream? If you really don't have money, just tell me and I'll treat you to it."
Okay. But if you want to eat my bowl, I’m afraid you’re not qualified yet.”
Then, he completely ignored everyone's gaze and started eating on his own.
It tastes good, but unfortunately it lacks the seasonings of onions and coriander, making it a bit greasy. Moreover, the stewed lamb is not as delicious as roasted, and has a little fishy smell.
"This..." Hagang Tongga stood up and looked at Chang Xiaowen hesitantly, do you want to continue testing?
Chang Xiaowen retracted his gaze from Zhang Jin, shook his head slightly, turned around and walked towards their Tatar table.
After sitting down at the table, Chang Xiaowen said to Hagang Tongga: "When you fell down just now, the Jin Yiwei flew out from the bench almost instantly. His figure was very stable, and there was no drop of mutton soup noodles in his hand.
It didn’t even spill out, this reaction and level of Qinggong are really amazing.”
"Why not continue to test?" Hagang Tongga was puzzled.
"It's not necessary. He has great light skills, flexible fingers, and doesn't use weapons very much. He is just a dirty trick. Generally speaking, people like this in the world don't have the ability to fight head-on. As long as they are trapped in an inn, it will be easy to kill him." Chang
Little Bra You Chengzhu said, "Now we just need to wait for Fengli Dao and Gu Shaotang to arrive before the Longmen black sandstorm comes. If this guy doesn't leave yet, then we can join forces to kill him!"
"I just don't know when Fengli Dao and the others will come."
"It's probably only within the next few days. There's a black sandstorm that happens once in sixty years. If you miss it, you won't have a chance. They can't be late. Ask Lao Chai and the others to serve the mutton soup noodles." Chang Xiaowen said.
Hagang Tongga did as he was told and shouted loudly: "Shopkeeper, give each of us a bowl of mutton noodle soup and some grilled naan!"
After saying that, he turned to Zhang Jin and said, "A manly man, you only eat a bowl of mutton noodle soup in the morning, like a girl, do you want us to give you a piece of grilled naan to eat?"
"Hahaha!" Chang Xiaowen took the lead in laughing, and several Tatars around him also laughed!
Whoosh!
A black shadow passed across the sky and stuffed directly into the mouth of a Tatar.
"Well..." The Tatar's laughter stopped and he quickly spit out what was in his mouth.
Chang Xiaowen, Hagang Tongga and others lowered their heads to look at the table and found that what came out of their companion's mouth was a chopstick.
Wow!
Ha Gang, Tongga and others immediately stood up from their seats and cast angry glances at Zhang Jin!
Chang Xiaowen sat on his seat, tilting his head and staring at Zhang Jin unkindly.
Zhang Jin drank up the noodle soup in the bowl as if nothing had happened, put the bowl down, wiped his mouth, and then responded to the Tatars: "What are you looking at? Now that you have entered the pass, it is the world of the Ming Dynasty. As the Chief Guard of Jinyi
Qi, it’s just a matter of words to deal with you few ungrateful aliens. You should be glad that I used chopsticks just now and not a concealed weapon, otherwise he would have died long ago!"
Chang Xiaowen banged the table and cursed angrily, and Hagang Tongga translated at the same time: "If he dies, you won't be able to survive either!"
"I can obviously speak, but I still want someone to help translate. You don't think it's tiring to talk, but I don't think it's troublesome to listen." Zhang Jin said disapprovingly, "Okay, I've finished eating, it's time to go out and exercise.
"
After saying that, he dropped the remaining chopsticks in his hand, got up and walked towards the door of the inn.
"We haven't finished talking yet, and you want to leave?!"
Ha Gang Tong Ga was about to step forward to stop him when he happened to meet Liang Cai and Huang Gang who were bringing breakfast.
"Guests, here are the mutton noodle soup and roasted naan you want."
Hagang Tongga turned to look at Chang Xiaowen. After Chang Xiaowen and Liang Cai exchanged glances, they signaled Hagang Tongga to sit down.
Zhang Jin walked out of the inn door and looked back at the people in the hall. There were many people in the treasure hunting team, so no one should notice his actions outside.
Outside the inn, the caravan that had been on the road the previous morning had long disappeared, and there were only a few horses left in the wooden shed.
The morning sun in the desert was bright and dazzling. Zhang Jin walked around the inn and came to a sand dune. It was the entrance to the underground secret passage where Ling Yanqiu led Su Huirong in the movie.
After making sure that no one was paying attention to him, he groped in the sand for a while, found the mechanism hidden under the yellow sand, opened the cover, and pulled the iron cable ring inside.
Just as the chain was ringing, one side of the sand dune next to it suddenly sank, and the sand slid down, revealing a secret door hidden under the dune.
Zhang Jin got in through the secret door, which was a half-excavated passage. He picked up the iron ring on the ground and pulled it again, and the secret door closed automatically.
He couldn't see his fingers in the dark passage. Zhang Jin took out the fire sticks he had prepared and blew it. The weak firelight could only illuminate the place in front of him, but with his eyesight, as long as there was a weak light source that could shine,
Can still see clearly.
It is said in the movie that this secret passage under the Longmen Inn extends in all directions and has many forks. I am afraid that the only person who is familiar with the terrain here is Ling Yanqiu.
Zhang Jin walked around in the tunnel at will while holding up the fire folder. Whenever he encountered a fork in the road, he would go to the right first. He planned to walk through the entire secret passage in the secret room and use the ability of the memory treasure house to memorize the entire route.
This way, if it comes in handy in the future, you won't be so busy.
It took him nearly an hour to complete all the routes of the secret passage. It took him about half an hour to quickly walk through the tunnel, consolidate and improve his memory, and sort out a three-dimensional model of the secret passage in his mind.
.
From then on, there was no secret in the underground tunnel of Longmen Inn in his eyes.
While he was exploring the secret passage, in the Longmen Inn, Chang Xiaowen, Liang Cai and others who saw him not returning for a long time couldn't help but get together to discuss.
"We went out and took a look around. The horses were still there, but the people were gone. It was so strange!" Hagang Tongga said.
"Where do you think he went? We had already investigated it when we came here before. The surrounding area was surrounded by desert yellow sand, and there was nothing special about it." Liang Cai pondered.
"Could it be in a secret passage?" Huang Gang pointed at his feet.
Chang Xiaowen frowned and said: "No way, he is a new arrival from Jin Yiwei, how could he know about the secret passage?"
"Could it be because of the accident three years ago? Dongchang, Jin Yiwei and the proprietress Ling Yanqiu had a confrontation in this Longmen Inn. In the end, the admiral of Dongchang died, and Ling Yanqiu burned down the Longmen Inn.
It's over." Liang Cai speculated, "If the news from three years ago was passed back to Jin Yiwei, then it would not be surprising that this guy knew about the secret passage."
"There is some truth in that, but what is the purpose of this guy coming here alone? If it is to capture Ling Yanqiu, there is no need to take risks alone, and he does not dress up in disguise, wearing a flying fish suit so flamboyantly, and swaggers through the market, for fear that others will not notice him.
I know he is a Jinyiwei." Chang Xiaowen said.
"These are not things we can guess clearly. If you want to know, when Feng Li Dao comes, he knows enough information and may be able to deduce it." Liang Cai shook his head.
Chang Xiaowen asked: "Now should we go down to the secret passage to see if he is inside?"
"No, if we really run into each other when we go down now, we can't tell clearly. Your Tatar identity and our store owner's identity are not easy to be involved in the secret passage. If he comes to question us first,
It is still possible for us to sever the relationship." Liang Cai persuaded him, "The only thing we can do at the moment is to stand still, not to reveal our true purpose for the time being, and wait for the black sandstorm to come, and we will know what he is going to do."
To be continued...
