Chapter 754: Infiltrating the Caravan
Chapter 754: Infiltrating the Caravan
Lin Feng went to Shanglin Mansion.
What is he going to do?
Are you coming back?
Onimaki looked at Atsumizawa, and he still saw the confusion that had always existed in Atsumizawa's big eyes.
This woman lives in ignorance all day long, but she has amazing skills. Anyone who dares to underestimate her will surely pay the price with his life.
Guijuan paid the silver, then dragged Wu Mei Ze out of the tavern and headed straight for the west gate of Kyoto City.
Although the two of them tried to blend in with the crowd around them, they still attracted other people's attention.
It is impossible to change all of their aura and strange behavior.
The two walked forward, turned a corner at an alley, and continued walking along the narrow alley.
There were originally two people, but now it has become Atsumizawa herself. Only a little girl's head is exposed from the wide sleeves of her robe, as if a piece of clothing is floating on the ground.
Two men in ordinary clothes followed them quietly and turned into the alley.
They were spies from the Imperial Guards, who usually mingled among the civilians and specialized in detecting spies to prevent rebels from sneaking into the city.
Once a suspicious person is found, he must be tracked and checked, or directly arrested for interrogation.
The two found that the two people in front of them, one big and one small, suddenly became only one child, and the other adult was nowhere to be found.
The two spies continued to move forward in confusion, and suddenly found that the child in front of them also stopped, turned around and stared at them.
The two looked at each other and said, "It's so weird, let's catch it first."
They nodded to each other, then suddenly their bodies went limp and they fell to the ground.
On the side wall, a big bulge suddenly appeared, which gradually turned into a ghost-like curl with short and thick limbs.
"Are they very alert, or are we not acting like civilians?"
Onimuan was confused.
Wu Mei Ze laughed and said, "With your appearance, who would treat you as an ordinary citizen?"
"You look good. You look like a piece of clothing. If you didn't have a head, people would think you were a piece of clothing moving."
"Stop talking nonsense, what are we going to do with the body?"
Normally, Wu Mei Ze would kill people without caring about anything.
However, this is the capital city of Dazong. Once someone is found dead, the entire city will be under martial law, which will be even more difficult for them to act.
Guijuan reached out and grabbed the two corpses in his hands, then dodged and disappeared on the spot.
But after a moment, he appeared in the alley again, but he was the only one there.
"This is an abandoned house. We've just left it in the weeds. No one will find it anytime soon. Let's leave quickly."
As they talked, the two continued walking to the other end of the alley.
The two of them thought their actions were seamless and silent, but they didn't know that at the entrance of the alley there was an expressionless face, silently watching their words and actions.
Guijuan and Wu Meizawa finally heard the news that Lin Feng had indeed left by boat under a tea stall outside the west gate of the city.
After discussing it, the two decided to hire a boat and catch up along the Jinjiang River.
The water in Jinjiang's main channel is fast-flowing, so a small boat would not be enough, and the four people cannot act separately.
So, they gathered at the dock outside the west gate of the city through the agreed contact information, and then negotiated the price to hire a boat.
It was noon two days later when we set off on the boat.
This ship is a cargo ship with a large cargo hold that can accommodate thirty or forty people.
It was rented by four people including Guijuan. Apart from the seven sailors on the ship, there were only four of them as tenants.
The boat owner was a man in his fifties who steered the boat himself.
The sailors were all strong men in their twenties and thirties, each busy with their own business.
In this way, such a boat began its journey from Kancheng Wharf to Shanglin Prefecture.
The four men hid in the cabin and rarely showed up.
What they didn't know was that the man at the stern who was responsible for assisting the owner in steering the ship had an expressionless face and he rarely went to the front and middle of the ship.
Its range of movement is limited to the stern part.
But he kept staring towards the cabin, wondering what he was thinking about.
After three days of sailing, the Zhenxi anchored at the dock at the north gate of Shanglin.
Lin Feng brought a group of guards into Shanglin Prefecture and never showed up again.
His guards patrolled outside a house every day, protecting the entire house tightly and no one was allowed to enter.
Every morning, Pei Qiyin would check and receive fresh vegetables at the gate to prepare meals for Lin Feng for the day.
Cheng Liang, Wen Jian, Ye Liangcai, Bu Yunting, Qiao Jushan and other leaders of Lin Feng's personal bodyguards all take shifts on time and provide uninterrupted defense for twelve hours a day.
Those who entered and exited the gate were all Lin Feng's direct generals.
According to people who have been inside the house, Lin Feng was in seclusion there, developing new weapons.
At this time, Lin Feng had already taken Hong Xiao and quietly left Shanglin Prefecture, crossed Jinjiang, and entered the territory of Dingyuan Prefecture.
The two men were also mixed in a caravan of traveling merchants. Instead of riding horses, they sat in a carriage with a carriage.
The owner of the caravan was a businessman named Cui Yichen who traveled on this trade route all year round. He was forty years old and had a weathered face.
His business is very big and involves many varieties.
The main source of its products is the various materials produced in Lingdouzi Castle.
This made Lin Feng have a very pleasant chat with him, and he also gained a comprehensive understanding of the needs of all aspects of the entire market.
Lin Feng was invited to the host's carriage to drink tea.
The carriage was spacious. Cui Yichen brought a maid with him. She looked about thirteen or fourteen years old. She had a face as white as jade and bright eyes. She looked beautiful and smart.
Because Lin Feng was entrusted to him personally by Bai Jing's subordinates, Cui Yichen treated Lin Feng very politely. After all, it was an official commission, and it would be best to make friends with him.
However, Cui Yichen was very dissatisfied with the maid that Lin Feng brought with him. He thought that a businessman with an official background like Lin Feng did not look like he was short of money, so how could he be equipped with such an ordinary maid?
Cui Yichen has a talent for business and is smart.
His family background is very strong. Everyone in the clan knows that the Cui family is very powerful, involving many fields such as scholars, academics, engineers, and business. There are many outstanding talents in the family.
Along the way, Cui Yichen tried to find out Lin Feng's official background and how big his business was.
Unfortunately, Lin Feng was very careful and didn't give him any chance.
He only said that his name was Lin Bai, that his hometown was Zhenxi, and that he wanted to come out to learn how to do business.
Lin Feng is young, sunny, and has a kind face. He always has a warm smile on his face, which makes people approachable and willing to talk to him.
Hong Xiao had a cold face, was serious, and looked like she was keeping people at a distance.
The two of them were one cold and one hot, which was very strange.
Cui Yichen's maid had a good impression of Lin Feng. When she was pouring tea, she took a sneak peek at him. When Lin Feng saw her, her white jade-like face suddenly turned red.
This made Lin Feng feel funny, and he also felt the innocence of this little girl, which was very precious.
"Haha, Master Lin, please try this tea and see if you can tell anything about its origins."
