Drunken and faintly dreaming

That night, around midnight, Shen Gong, who was quietly pretending to sleep, suddenly heard the door of Mo Lier's room next door making a "beep" sound! Shen Gong couldn't help but think to himself: "Finally something has been done. You fox can hide deep enough!"

In order to avoid alerting the enemy, he had no choice but to continue pretending to be asleep, while trying hard to prick up his ears to catch the traces of the guy named Mo...

Mo Li'er slipped out of the room quietly, turned around and closed the door gently, then tiptoed to the door of the bird room. At this moment, Shen Gong had already quietly got out of bed and was hiding behind the door. ——Only open a crack in the door and peek there secretly...

Mo Li'er was also very ghostly (he was indeed the titular boss of the Grimace Department). He only opened the door of the bird room a small crack, and then squeezed in with all his strength. After entering, he immediately closed the door again with his backhand. Shut it tight. Like this, Shen Gong must not see anything outside!

"What a thief!" Shen Gong opened his mouth and cursed. He quickly opened the door and ran out. He flew to the door of the bird room, leaned over and put his ear to the door to eavesdrop. He heard a sound from inside. There was a rustling sound for a while, then there was the sound of opening the bird cage door, and then the sound of the bird flapping its wings...

By connecting those several kinds of sounds together, it is not difficult to deduce that Mo Lier must have taken advantage of the late night to secretly use the birds he raised to send messages to the outside world. It can be seen from this that his precious bird Ordinary bird cage No. 11 should have a messenger pigeon in it!

So, should we report this matter to Yu Doosun? Logically speaking, this is a rare and great opportunity to express ourselves. "Wait a minute!" Suddenly a voice reminded Shen Gong in his heart, making him change his mind. One thought: That's right. Before you figure out who Mo Li'er is communicating with, it's not advisable to act rashly for the time being!

So, who was Mo Lier anxious to communicate with in this late night? Regarding this, many people would never have expected it, including Yu Duoxun, who had been closely guarding Mo Lier. Tonight , the pigeon that Mo Lier quietly released was not an ordinary homing pigeon - it was a spiritual pigeon!

The smaller spirit pigeons with brown feathers all over their bodies are an alternative species among homing pigeons. Most people cannot raise such birds. According to legend, decades ago, there was a famous martial arts family in the Central Plains who once raised and raised I have used this kind of spiritual pigeon.

In the dark night, the dove that Mo Lier quietly released flew over the tall courtyard wall with fluttering wings, and then disappeared into the darkness...

Half a quarter of an hour later, the little brown pigeon landed on the high wall of another deep house. It looked inside, then spread its wings and flew directly to its destination - which was still lit. Lamp, half-open window.

"Cuckoo - Cuckoo" the spiritual pigeon made a unique cry, as if to notify the recipient. A hand in brocade clothes immediately stretched out and untied the small bamboo tube on the pigeon's leg.

The very humane bird did not leave immediately, but stood quietly on the window sill and waited. After a moment, the hand just stretched out again, tied the small bamboo tube around the pigeon's leg again, and then I also fed it a few small vermilion bean-like foods.

At this moment, the spirit pigeon seemed to be satisfied. After "cooing" twice more, it spread its wings and flew away...

…

By the cold and windy Lishui River, after a long journey, the Gao family caravan, which was exhausted, was finally happy to see that it was almost reaching the terminal of the trip! The sight in front of them made them suddenly happy.

A large and towering city wall means that the largest and richest city in the southwest of the Western Territory - Shia City - stands in front of it.

In the past two days, Xinqulong, who used to be always lively and active, felt cold and had a fever. Now he was lying quietly on the cargo on the back of a camel, and he was not able to directly witness the exciting scene in Shiye City.

City Wall. Gao Lihua did not have fun all the way like before. At this moment, she just rode her horse silently beside her, looking at "Along" on the camel with concern from time to time.

At this moment, Azida, who was walking at the front of the team, suddenly screamed: "Hey, where is the inn of Uncle Ban's house?"

"What's wrong?" Father Gao from behind shouted to his son.

"Dad, look, the Banjia Inn in front of you is gone!" Azida roared again, with a worried and uneasy mood in his voice.

"Is there such a thing?" Gao Lao Gao shook the horse's reins and drove forward to see for himself. At this time, Gao Lihua, who was walking in the middle of the team, also heard the noise. She immediately shook the reins and moved her legs.

Clamping the horse's belly, it rushed forward like an arrow...

Xin Zhuihu, who was lying half asleep on the back of the camel, immediately became alert when he heard the shouts. He propped up half of his body on his elbows, raised his eyes and tried his best to look forward. As far as he could see,

What Xin Zhuihu saw - apart from the wasteland and the birch forest, there was only a large area of ​​ruins of the inn that had been burned to the point of leaving some broken walls!

Seeing such a devastated scene, Xin Zhuihu couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart... Although what he saw in front of him was the unbearable scene of people in a foreign country suffering from disasters, Xin Zhuihu, who had always been a chivalrous and righteous man, could also feel it.

Feeling a strong sense of anger and injustice!

"Dad, Uncle Ban, did you offend someone?" It was Gao Lihua's clear and pleasant voice who said this.

"I don't think so. Who can offend an honest-looking person like Lao Bantou?" Gao Gao's eyes were fierce. There was no place in the Western Territory that he couldn't understand.

"Then...we encountered a thief?" Gao Lihua didn't know what was going on and could only make random guesses.

At this time, it was the old Arnie's turn to interject. He said slowly: "Nizi, what you said is right and wrong!"

"What are you talking about? Old uncle." Gao Lihua stood in front of the elder, and her cuteness suddenly appeared, and her playful spirit suddenly came back: "Come on, why are you always showing off?"

Old Ani pointed at the city wall in front of him with the tip of his horsewhip and said, "Don't forget when you speak now - where is this place? At the foot of the royal city, do thieves dare to mess around?"

Hearing this sentence, Xin Zhuihu unconsciously thought to himself: Yes, this place is not comparable to ordinary places, so how could things like robbing homes and setting fire to people's houses happen? There must be an ulterior motive behind this incident.

Hidden story...
