Chapter 62 Ancient Tower(1/2)
Getting out of the city went particularly smoothly.
Fatty and others hid in eight wooden water trucks with hidden boxes, and were escorted by Belin and eleven men. They crossed the city gate without any surprises.
Although strict investigations are being carried out everywhere, the soldiers guarding the city are not so vigilant about the water transport convoys that have been going on for more than ten years.
Who makes the dignitaries in the city insist on making tea with spring water from the invisible valley? Who makes these annoying water carriers mute, making communication extremely difficult?
What's more, the owner of this water shop has always been "sensible", and he is somewhat respectful when he comes in and out!
After leaving the city gate and walking for a while, the motorcade stopped at the roadside.
The fat man and others got out of the car and looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh.
Because the group of people had all changed into the clothes of the local people in Sulier, and there were also big and small bags, some old and some young, they looked like a group of refugees who had left their hometown.
Belin turned over and knelt down again, ventriloquismally speaking to Silaire and the Fatty: "Two noble lords, I can only send you here. A stone's throw ahead, there is a car shop on the roadside where you can buy horses.
Vehicle. This is information about the next resting place, please keep it."
As Belin spoke, he handed a scroll that was well sealed with fire paint to Silaire, and at the same time presented a heavy bundle, which should be gold and silver.
"Ah? Aren't you going together? Oh! If you are worried about your family, I can ask my two brothers to accompany you back to pick them up." The fat man said quickly.
Belin smiled at the fat man and said: "We still have to go back to avoid others becoming suspicious. However, you can rest assured, sir, I don't know anything about your future whereabouts. You will understand this after reading the scroll.
"
For some reason, the fat man suddenly felt something wrong in his heart. He took Belin's arm and said, "In case of any accident, it doesn't matter if you tell the truth. Brother, please don't show off. To be honest, among us people
There are many top experts, so..."
Before the fat man finished speaking, he was interrupted by Belin: "Who you are really has nothing to do with me, and I don't want to know. Let's just say goodbye! We still have to fetch water! Haha! Let's go.
!”
After he finished speaking, he clasped his fists to everyone, turned around and called the guys to drive the water tanker and leave.
"Are you guys from the Chahan family so cool? This brother is amazing!" The fat man took Xi Laer's jade hand and said softly while touching and scratching it.
Gradually getting used to being pushed around by this guy, Siler glanced at the fat man with a blushing face and muttered: "They are all much better than me! How can I let you bully me?"
"Brother, where are we going next?" Kuang Lei asked in a puzzled manner.
The fat man suddenly came back to his senses and realized that everyone was looking elsewhere intentionally or unintentionally. Only he and his two silly brothers were staring straight at this side.
"Aha! That's right! Where are we going? Xixi, look at that scroll!" the fat man said quickly.
Xixi also noticed something was wrong, her cheeks turned red, she gently shook off the fat man's big hand and opened the scroll.
Hehe! It’s actually a blank piece of paper.
"I'm afraid I still have to take care of it!" Nathan reminded from the side.
Sure enough, under the green light, a map appeared on the scroll, along with a few lines of small words.
The fat man is not illiterate, but he does not know these words.
Fortunately, Xi Laer was knowledgeable. She looked at it twice and said to the fat man with a strange smile: "They say they want us to go to Guta Town."
The fat man ignored Xixi's expression.
He was thinking that if he changed his route to another place, it might seem safe, but in an unfamiliar place, it would increase the possibility of an accident.
"Okay! Let's go to Guta Town! Brother Qiu, could you please go and buy some carriages and horses together with Chen Yu and Luo Yan! We'll wait here." Fatty decided.
Qiu Dun accepted the order and took the baggage left by Belin.
"Master, how are you recovering?" Fatty asked the master in a low voice while everyone was resting.
"About 40-50% of the concentration has been restored! It's basically enough! What are your plans after arriving at Guta Town?" the master asked.
"In the past two days, a lot of things have happened outside. We need to figure it out first. This time, we have obviously stepped into a trap that has been activated. We have been confused and confused in the situation, and we are passive everywhere. Now it seems that the dust has settled.
Sure, but I think Su Lier's situation is likely to become even more corrupt in the future. To be honest, I want to leave. Our master and apprentice will take Xi Laer and her daughter with us. If senior sister is willing, she can follow.
I weighed it for a long time and felt that that was the best solution. Please don't scold me, this is my true opinion!" The fat man said slowly, looking a little lonely.
This time, the master did not scold the fat man for backing off. He pondered for a moment and said: "Boy, it's too late for you to withdraw now! From the moment you met Xixi's mother and daughter, they were actually inseparable. That's all.
God, you went from being a commoner who was not an injection master to crossing five levels in a row. You also showed your skills to kill the masters of the "Four Evils". Don't you think Stephen and others will be surprised? I know them too well! These guys
I will never let you go!"
The master paused and then continued: "And, do you know why I came to Su Li'er at this time? In fact, someone sent me a message saying that Capricorn Tong was in big trouble. Now that I think about it, I'm afraid those people
I have long been in my position in their trap! Therefore, instead of being hesitant and hesitant to retreat, it is better to open your mind and compete with them to find out these things clearly. Otherwise, even if you can escape for a while, you may not be able to escape.
I won’t be able to get a few more peaceful nights’ sleep!”
The master's words made the fat man sweat profusely.
Only then did he realize that there were these twists and turns in the reason why the master came to Suriel.
Thinking about the difficulties he may face in the future, the fat man even thinks about never eating meat again.
"You put it lightly! What should I use to fight them? They all have countries as backers behind them! What do I have? Huh? Asking for power, oh, asking for power is useless! Wanting money, oh, it's not about money.
"Let's just talk about manpower! It's not enough! I have you? But even if you are made of iron, how many nails can you drive!" He said angrily.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The fat man originally wanted to say, "I want power but no power, I want money but no money", but suddenly he remembered that not only did he have an official position, but he was also made a marquis.
It seems inappropriate to say "no power". Then I think of the big box carried by the Erlei brothers and the secret room where I don't know how many treasures are hidden. It seems even more inappropriate to say "no money".
"Stop chirping! You're useless! Let's discuss the manpower matter slowly when we get to the town. There will always be a way! What's more, don't you care about the affairs of Xixi's mother and daughter's family? You offended Capricorn Tong like that.
, Do you want to start chaos and finally give up?" The master saw that the fat man had a bitter look on his face and continued to push back and forth, so he deliberately dropped two more bombs.
"Ha? Let's talk about Xixi's matter separately. You said that I offended my senior sister, and it was 'like'? 'What kind of'? I have never done anything!" When Capricorn Tong was mentioned, the fat man immediately went crazy.
"You...!" The master looked at the fat man meaningfully.
Mr. Mai was just about to ask the master for a clear answer when he saw dust rising in the distance. It was Qiu Dun and the others who were driving three carriages and were speeding towards him.
Guta Town is located east of Mase, the capital of Suril. Although it is not the only way to the Eastern Region, it is not far from the main road.
But it is precisely because of this small distance that the town is quiet.
Because this place is less than half a day's journey from Ma Se, there are very few passing merchants, and pedestrians will make a detour here to rest.
However, although the town is small, it has everything you need.
Walking along the main road, in addition to the dozens of rows of nearby houses, there are restaurants, tea shops, schools, banks and various shops. It seems to be a somewhat lively scene.
Especially according to Su Lier's official decree, a small inn is still open in this small town.
According to the instructions on the scroll, this inn named "Muhong" is where Fatty and his party want to seek refuge.
"Mu Hong? Isn't this my title? Senior sister, you didn't do it on purpose, did you! Use a store name to seal me! It's so unkind!" The fat man looked at the dilapidated facade of the shop and the man lying on the counter.
The drowsy waiter asked Capricorn Tong in a low voice.
Only then did he understand why Xixi was smiling so strangely just now.
"Okay! When I have time, I will change your title to 'Stupid Pig'!" Capricorn Tong said angrily, glaring at the fat man.
Looking at that posture, if it weren't for the unsuitable place for an attack, seven or eight fireballs would have already covered the fat man's head.
"Boss! I think the Queen is very talented!" The Fire King's voice suddenly sounded in Fatty's sea of consciousness.
"Are you interrupting again? You broke the contract first, so don't blame me..." Mr. Mai was unhappy, but when he heard Huo Lingzhu's provocation, he immediately threatened.
The Fire King seemed to be very taboo about the idea of "breaking the contract". When he saw the fat man getting angry, he immediately changed his tone and said seriously: "Boss! Actually, I want to tell you that you have misunderstood the queen's kindness! When she was very young, she once and
Mom has been here once, and she may have forgotten other details, but this name is always in her heart!"
The fat man was stunned when he heard this. How could he know that the title "Mu Hong" had such an origin?
A strange feeling arose. The fat man straightened his mood and said to Capricorn Tong solemnly: "Qingzhu asks the sky and weaves wood into a rainbow. I like this title very much. It was just a joke just now. I hope senior sister won't be offended!"
Ever since she met the fat man, Capricorn Tong had never seen him treat her with such respect. After hearing the fat man casually say two words that seemed to have profound meaning, her mood calmed down.
"Huh!" The Queen snorted coldly, stopped talking, and looked at the inn with her eyes.
Although several ladies covered their faces with gauze at the fat man's request before entering the town, their eyes were still exposed.
Looking at the sad look gradually appearing in Capricorn's beautiful eyes, the fat man's heart trembled slightly, "I must be remembering the time when I came here with my mother! It's a bit pitiful!" He couldn't help but sigh secretly.
"Brother, oh! Brother! Is the shopkeeper here?" At the fat man's signal, Qiu Dun woke up the man dressed as a waiter. Unexpectedly, the other party was a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties.
"Shopkeeper? Why are you looking for him? I am! What's wrong? It doesn't look like it?" The middle-aged man looked sleepy and spoke very rudely, as if he blamed Qiu Dun for disturbing his sweet dream.
"Are you the shopkeeper? Well, a friend asked me to bring you something, please take a look!" Silaire said and handed over the scroll.
The middle-aged man still had an indifferent attitude. He stood up reluctantly, hunched over, and took the scroll casually, muttering: "What is this? Is it a painting?"
As he spoke, he turned around and inserted the scroll into a gap on the wall behind the counter.
Strangely enough, the gap looked like a crack in the wall, very narrow, but it was just enough space to accommodate the scroll, and it fit perfectly.
Looking at the scroll that was perfectly integrated into the crack, the middle-aged man turned his back to everyone and remained motionless.
After a long time, the fat man got impatient and asked, "Did this gentleman fall asleep standing up?" He thought to himself, and when he was about to speak, he saw that the middle-aged man had slowly turned around.
His eyes were no longer blurry, but filled with brilliance.
