Chapter 1912 Something Wrong in the Town
The Heihe District is not far from the small town of Kajin, about 200 kilometers, and it takes only three hours to drive on a modern highway, but it is more troublesome to put it on an ancient civilization that cannot use mechanical tools.
All the blood horses in the town were taken away by the lieutenant, so they had to rent a kind of cloud beast from the people. It was a bit similar to a horse, but bigger than a horse. The pony had to lead the horse carefully, which greatly delayed the trip.
Yuan planned to arrive in one day, but it took two days. It was almost at noon of the next day that Chen Shanshan and his group managed to reach the camp by the Heihe River.
It was a self-built military town, and it was not small in scale. Visually, it looked half the size of Kajin Town, but it looked a bit weird today.
It's noon, but the town is shrouded in a layer of mist, and the lights are lit early, which looks kind of hazy and weird.
Several people glanced at each other, and secretly touched their weapons vigilantly.
A few people walked into the town cautiously
"This fog is weird"
After several people entered, Yang Rui frowned as he looked around.
The terrain here is not the kind of miasma-prone valley. Although the Heihe River is relatively large, it is not a seaside after all. This kind of foggy weather in broad daylight is really abnormal.
But once inside, it's much more normal.
The small town full of lights is full of life, people flow through, and in the faint mist, the residents of the town seem to be used to this kind of thing and still live normally. Street vendors shout one after another, selling fish, salt, and sugar. , Selling other groceries is almost crowded with narrow streets, very complicated
Several soldiers glanced at each other, and the original vigilance in their eyes dropped a little.
This scene fits well with Heihe’s information. Next to Heihe is a military town with a large population. It is said that there are thousands of people. Since the river bank is full of sand and there is no land for planting, it is very poor for daily necessities, but it happens to settle here. The soldiers in the village are relatively well-off. As a soldier in the border town, the Bolton faction has always paid a good salary, and the control is very strict, and bad incidents such as empty pay are strictly prohibited.
Soldiers are rich, but resources are poor. For the nearby towns, it is a business opportunity. Many hawkers often do living trade here. From leather goods, clothing, grain and sugar, they are all very popular supplies here. Most are not short of money.
Therefore, in addition to the many hawkers in daily life, there is no shortage of restaurants and special service areas here.
Several people looked at it for a while, but they didn't immediately go to the military management of the town, but found a tavern and sat down.
There are quite a few people in the tavern, but those who can afford it are generally soldiers on rotation. A few soldiers with thick arms and round waists are naked, eating the special grilled fish in the tavern, drinking rye wine, punching each other, and fighting wine. The sound is very noisy, but it is very local tavern style.
"It seems that there should be no problem." After several people sat down, Mo Niu Boer shook his head and suggested: "How about we eat something? I've been running all the way, my mouth is dry."
"Do you want a drink?" Ah Ling on the side directly pierced the other party.
"Cough, drink some to relieve fatigue." Boer laughed, and then looked at Chen Shanshan with a guilty conscience.
Chen Shanshan hesitated for a moment, then looked at Yang Rui and A Ling: "Why don't we go directly to the quartermaster?"
This kind of garrison town must have a military residence. If you go directly there, the quartermaster will naturally arrange for them to eat and drink. As a team that came to investigate, the first time they arrive at the place, they find a tavern to live in. It seems a bit strange. too plausible
"Not in a hurry." Yang Rui looked around, narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "I'll go later, as Boer said, I'm tired all the way, so it's rare to relax."
"That's right!" Boer quickly answered, "What's the rush? I'm exhausted from rushing all the way here, so what's wrong with having a glass of wine and relaxing first?"
As he spoke, he yelled directly to the outside: "Boss, order!!"
Everyone: "."
It's really a product that can climb on the pole!
Chen Shanshan also gave the other party a blank look, but she glanced at Yang Rui curiously. The uncle is usually very strict, why do you feel so floating today?
Sitting in the corner, Mike, who had been silent all this time, glanced at Yang Rui with interest, and nodded secretly: This fallen angel is young, and he is very experienced when he comes out for the first time.
The easiest places to find out news are these taverns with mixed fish and dragons, and the general news is also the most true.
And from the moment he came in, it was obvious that the little guy had noticed something was wrong.
"Hey, here we come!"
The owner of the tavern was a fat man with a belly like a beer barrel, and he looked funny and honest when he trotted over.
"Guests from afar, what would you like to order?" The boss rubbed his hands with a smile.
"This shows that we have come from a long way?" Yang Rui tilted his head and smiled.
"How can you not see it?" The boss laughed and said, "Just a few of you are wearing this outfit, they are more prestigious than the military officers in our town. They must have come from a long way. At first glance, they are knights sent from above."
"It's quite clever." Yang Rui squinted his eyes, looked around at the soldiers who were still lively punching around, then nodded and said, "What's the smell in this room? Does it feel weird?"
"Oh" the boss said with a smile: "It may be the fishy smell from the kitchen. The masters laughed at me. We are a remote town and can only do some seafood business. The fishy smell is a little bit heavier. How about changing your location?" ? Go upstairs, where the smell is milder."
"That's good." Yang Rui stood up and looked towards the side of the stairs, then looked at the door of the tavern not far from the stairs, smiled and said: "It's not bad to go up, I really can't stand the smell."
"Okay, okay!" The hotel owner rubbed his hands and hurriedly led the way: "Masters, please follow me."
Everyone stood up silently, but Boer curled his lips and complained in a low voice: "It's just a little fishy smell, what's the point?"
Then he said to the boss: "Hurry up and get some wine, if you want it chilled, hurry up and send it upstairs."
"Okay, master, I'll arrange it right away!" The hotel owner said with a smile.
"Stupid. Still thinking about drinking?" A Ling, who was standing behind Boer, whispered.
"Eh?" Bolton stared at the other party, "What's wrong? Drinking is bothering you?"
A Ling sneered, and didn't bother to say anything directly. He glanced over and moved a little away from Boer calmly.
When the group of people came to the door, Yang Rui suddenly stopped and said suddenly: "After thinking about it, let's forget it. There is still an interrogation task that I haven't explained. It's a mistake to drink. Let's go over and explain it before coming back?"
"This..." The boss was stunned for a moment, and then quickly said: "Masters, is there any place where the hospitality is not good?"
"No, no." Yang Rui smiled: "I'll wait until I have official business. After thinking about it, it's better to come over after explaining the matter. The boss has prepared the wine for us, and we will come over later." He said without waiting for the other party When he replied, he said to the people behind him, "Let's go first."
"Is this... so necessary?" Bolton was not happy for a moment, the wine was already ordered, what can be delayed by two glasses of wine?
But just as soon as I turned around, the whole person was stunned.
At some point, the whole tavern fell silent, and the soldiers who were fighting for drinks in the distance suddenly looked at this side, and the silence was strangely strange.
Boer, who has been in the abyss all year round, still has a good sense of crisis, and instantly felt something was wrong. He took a step back and said to his back: "Ah Ling, something seems wrong? Ah Ling?"
Boer suddenly noticed that Ah Ling behind him seemed to have disappeared at some point, and quickly looked around, and suddenly found that at some point, that guy had already retreated to the door, and he pointed his middle finger at him from a long distance away.
Grass.
In the next second, the soldiers who were drinking all stood up, and a disgusting smell rushed over their faces! !
