Having said that, the two of them couldn't tell the truth. They only said, "Tang Master Qiao arranged for my brother to go out to do some errands. Who would have thought that as soon as he returned to the city, something happened to him."
A burly man in his early thirties smiled and said, "My name is Shi Fang." He pointed to the thin man next to him, "He is Lu Xiong."
"It turned out to be Shi Zhuangshi and Lu Zhuangshi, you are all friends of the owner, that is our friends of the entire Sitonghao." The shopkeeper Yin Da bowed his hands and sighed worriedly: "I heard that the palace is catching fugitives. . This city is noisy, hey!"
Both of them sighed on their faces, but their hearts jumped. They were afraid that shopkeeper Yin Da would say that the fugitives could not be taken in, so they threw them out.
It is polite to throw it out directly, but what is even more terrifying is to be sent directly to the palace. They all defected from the Qingtian Alliance, and they are still walking outside to seek favors in the name of the Qingtian Alliance. If the princess is caught, they will probably die ugly.
The shopkeeper of Yinda has been in business for many years, so how can you not see the anxiety of these two? After thinking for a while, he understood the key, he just did not notice it, and said with a straight face: "Since the situation is critical, it is not convenient for Xu Hua at this time, we have a hidden hiding place here, and the idle people will not find it. , the two of you will go with me first and settle down for the time being. Our owner said that as long as the brothers from the Qingtian League come, they will be treated as if they are their own family. Therefore, the two of you must not be polite to me, just stay here with peace of mind. "
"Okay, thank you."
The two looked at each other and followed in the footsteps of shopkeeper Yin Da.
They really have no choice now. The only thing you can count on is that Boss Qiu will keep his word. Otherwise, they are now running out of mountains and rivers, running out of ammunition and food, and I am afraid there is only one dead end left.
Shopkeeper Yin Da brought the two to the back house, followed the hand porch to a moon gate, and led the two into the moon gate. This is an exquisite garden. It looks like a flat river inside. There are neither lakes nor The rocks, and even the trees are very weak, and they don't look like people who can hide.
The two of them were uneasy in their hearts, and they stared at the back of the shopkeeper Yin Da and did not dare to go forward.
Shopkeeper Yin Da noticed that the two had slowed down, but he didn't care. He walked on the stone brick path and walked straight to a small bush. He squatted down on the ground and groped for a while, as if he had touched some mechanism.
As he fiddled, he could vaguely hear some clicking sounds like some mechanical rotation, and a water tank in the corner of the backyard wall slowly moved away, revealing an entrance that could accommodate one person below.
"Come with me." Shopkeeper Yin Da walked to the entrance of the cave.
The two of them couldn't help but be surprised. The four-way number of the secret passage is really good. Who would have thought that they would build such a secret place in a small garden that looks like an aisle in the inner house
The dangling heart was put down, and the two walked to the entrance of the hole and looked down tentatively, and there was a faint light inside.
The shopkeeper Yin Da smiled and said, "This is specially prepared by our owner, and the ventilation is very good. It also stores enough food and water for ten days, but it will be very boring to stay in it. And if you think about it, , I can only open the mechanism, otherwise you have seen the water tank, and it will not move from the bottom."
Shi Fang and Lu Xiong looked at each other again.
Compared with the situation where they were hunted and killed outside with nowhere to run, the conditions here were already very good. Besides, they can't find any other way now except to trust Boss Qiu.
Shi Fang said: "Okay, if you know the big shopkeeper, don't forget that our brothers are still below."
"No, no. Our boss specially instructed the brothers to take care of them, how can they forget? If there is no unexpected situation, I will come every evening to bring you two enough wine and vegetables for a day, and there will be no shortage of chicken, duck, and fish. Yes. There are quilts and the like inside, and it only works when it's cold."
When the two heard that they didn't have to eat the dry biscuits, they became more happy. Nodding like garlic, he got into the tunnel.
After the two went down, they looked around for a week, and found that there were really as shopkeeper Yin Da said, there were two oil lamps lit all the time, and a wooden bed large enough for four people to sleep side by side was really covered with quilts. Although the space is crowded, the environment is much better than expected.
"We're staying, thank you, the big shopkeeper!"
The two raised their heads in thanks.
Shopkeeper Yin Da smiled and shook his head, "You're welcome, both of you are friends of our boss. By the way, there is one more thing you should be careful about, and you must speak in a low voice."
The two looked stunned and nodded solemnly: "Yes, we know."
The big shopkeeper Yin cupped his hands at the two of them.
The two also looked up at the shopkeeper Yin and cupped their hands, with gratitude in their eyes.
With a slight mechanical sound, the water tank filled with water slowly moved back to its original position, gradually covering the hole.
When the footsteps were gone, the brothers let out a long breath and slumped on the bed to relax.
saved…
After the shopkeeper Yin Da left, he did not dare to let anyone tell Qin Yining, thinking that since the princess had ordered someone to tell her, she must have expected this to happen. Zhuge is alive.
Qin Yining let Ji Yun go to spread the word, so she felt at ease at home "grounded", and the selected materials were delivered one after another, she first made shoes and seats for Pang Xiao, and imagined that Brother Zhao and Brother Han should now be How much taller they are, they also cut their clothes.
A few days have passed in this way, her days are still leisurely and tranquil, but the search in the city has reached a fevered state.
Pang Xiao's subordinates were able to confirm that four people were found at that time, but they only killed two, and the remaining two could not be found anyway. Pang Xiao simply refused to let Jinghuwei and Wangfu guards withdraw, and continued to search in and around the city.
"My lord, continue to search like this, I'm afraid there will be some opinions in the yamen." Xie Yue suggested, "Do you want to reduce the number of people a little and replace it with security?"
Originally, Pang Xiao thought that such a search would make the people nervous. But as soon as Xie Yue said that there would be opinions in the yamen, his thought of reducing his momentum was immediately dismissed.
Who is in charge of the yamen? Of course the magistrate. Lu Heng is now the magistrate, making him unhappy, this is the most comfortable thing for Pang Xiao.
"It's okay, Lu Heng doesn't dare to treat this king."
After Mu Jinghu came back, he stayed by Pang Xiao's side all the time. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Yes, I am with you."
Xie Yue saw that the two had a confident look on their chests, and knew that Pang Xiao had made up his mind, and he smiled and stopped persuading. Anyway, the contradiction between the prince and the head of the Lu family is becoming more and more irreconcilable, and it is not good to be afraid of the head and tail.
