The Ghost of Fog
Chapters 160. Men Capping
That morning, after saving Song Qian and Fen Lian, then seeing Lin Tian slashing the two women, Xiao Lian left to continue on her way. He and Hao Yu thought that Lin Tian had actually killed two of the Black faction Alliance's accomplices.
The next day, they arrived at a small village that had a livelihood as farmers or herders. The morning was not very sunny, nor was it cloudy. Makes the air around comfortable.
Entering the village territory, these two people did not attract too much attention. With the brief suit of clothes worn by Xiao Lian and Hao Yu, as well as the weapons that both of them carried, the villagers immediately understood that the two foreigners were warriors. But they do not feel surprised, because this village is one of the roads that can be used to get to the king's city, so it is not surprising that in this village there are many warriors passing by.
"We find a restaurant first to stop for a while in this village before returning to travel" said Xiao Lian. The girl realized that look there to look here to find a restaurant.
"There's a restaurant" Hao Yu said pointing to one of the buildings not far from them.
Soon the two entered the simple restaurant. Once inside, they were already greeted by one of the maids who immediately asked for their order.
"Two servings of food with side dishes and vegetables sober. Also please prepare hot tea for us."
"Well, ladies, the order's coming soon."
Xiao Lian then chose to sit in the corner of the room, right behind a fairly large building pole. Xiao Lian sat facing the entrance, while Hao Yu sat back to the entrance.
Shortly after, Xiao Lian's attention was sidetracked by the appearance of a simple, wide-clothed man entering the restaurant. What caught the attention of this girl was her gait. The reason is, this man entered the restaurant without making the slightest sound. It was as if he was being wary of something.
"Hm...why is he? Is there an enemy here?" mumbled Xiao Lian while glancing here and there. Strangely true if someone enters a restaurant in a way without a sound. Either it was due to being too wary or arrogance.
Hao Yu who heard that immediately looked behind the pillar of the building. Because the pole was right behind him, he had to tilt his body to look at the door. Hao Yu looked at a wide-robed man who was sitting behind him.
"Here you go, ignore it." Hao Yu finally said.
Their orders came and at that very moment Xiao Lian paid for them. They ate quietly, no one wanted to open their voices. Until their food ran out, Hao Yu opened his voice.
"We're leaving right away?"
But this question was ignored by Xiao Lian who had looked at the mysterious man sharply. I don't know why she feels so bad about that person.
"Xiao Lian, don't mind him..." Hao Yu reminded.
"How could I have ignored him, his behavior was too strange. Where does anyone enter a restaurant with exertion in order to make his steps unheard? She's something." Xiao Lian replied without taking her eyes off.
A moment later, this man stood up and was about to leave. However, Xiao Lian hurriedly held onto Hao Yu's hand with a smile when she saw the man glancing at her.
"Hao Yu, where are we going now?" xiao Lian asked sweetly. But in her eyes, she gave "code" to Hao Yu.
"Ah.you are so troublesome. Now we go home! Poor aunt Cu who was waiting alone at home." Hao Yu replied back to Xiao Lian's charade.
The clapping man snorted before turning his body and completely leaving. It was then that Hao Yu and Xiao Lian sensed a "threat".
"That guy's not an ordinary guy."
"What I said! Maybe he knows me!" reply Xiao Lian.
"We follow where he goes. Very suspicious."
Without waiting any longer, these two people quickly got up and left the restaurant. Walk to a quiet place before then flashing to jump to the roof of the house residents.
"There! He's riding a horse!!" exclaimed Xiao Lian pointing towards the village gate in the West.
"Let's go!!" Hao Yu immediately jumped quickly followed by Xiao Lian.
...****************...
This was a messenger from the Chen family who was assigned to receive a letter from someone. But this task is very important and secret, so he was very alert when entering the restaurant. To the point that he hid the sound of his footsteps.
The letter was too important and confidential, so the sender did not want to use the message-sending bird. Also with a very clever strategy, the sender of the message deliberately sent ten people of trust to send the message. But the ten men did not depart together, they waited at their respective meeting places. So the way it works, the letter will be passed from one person to another, and this messenger man is in charge of receiving the letter from the tenth person.
A few hours later, this man arrived at a wide river that was quite clear. To the left of the river there is a large bamboo forest. It just so happened that the wind was blowing so hard that the bamboo made a sound like a very melodious distilled sound.
This man stopped his horse and looked here and there.
"It should be here" he murmured as he jumped down from the saddle.
He then approached one of the bamboo and took his sword. With the sword still sheathed, he shoved the sword into the bamboo three times.
"Tok-Tok-Tok!"
Then followed by seven beats. The last four beats. After fourteen beats, there was no change. But not for long, flashed someone dressed in black, revealing a mysterious impression. His movements were quick and light, proving he was not a weak swordsman.
"You came on time" said the man.
"Well, where's the letter?" answer the man in the cap.
The black-clothed person immediately reached into the pocket of the shirt and handed a slip of mail to the man in a caption. After the letter was received, this man ordered.
"Only this letter is the original content of the chairman's writing. For the other nine letters, all of them were fake. So take good care."
"You are really alert, to send ten people who pass each other letters. Though it's all just a cover to cover this letter isn't it?" reply the caping while chuckling.
"If you know, hurry back and tell Mr. Chen." the mysterious man replied before then his body vanished from there.
The clap-clothed man looked for a moment at the letter in his hand before putting it in his pocket. Again he looked to the right and left before jumping onto the horse's back.
"Is it just my feeling? But.I feel like I've been followed since I came out of the village." muttered this Chen family envoy.
"Ah, what do you think? Oh...Miss Xiao Lian? Hmph, there's no way he's following me. Who was that guy with her anyway....? No no, I have to focus on my job" the man said to reassure himself.
Then he rammed his horse and ran towards the direction from which he had come. The horse ran very fast, as if never tired. But who ran his horse, but who was full of sweat instead rider. It's really weird right.
But the messenger was shedding sweat not without reason. This is because he realized that his horse was running fast, from the end of his eyes he caught the siluat two shadows that always offset the running of the horse. Because of cowardice and superstition, he did not dare to look.
"Devil, demon, ghoul...!! Hiiii..they are certainly the ghosts of the forest guards who are disturbed by my presence!!" he shouted in his heart while accelerating the pace of the horse.
Suddenly, he screeched loudly when he saw the two shadows getting closer and smashed into him.
"God!!!!" this man fell down when there was a mouthful of fists hitting his face.
While one more shadow quickly flashed to hold his horse which began to neigh in fear.
The person who punched him earlier turned out to be a one-handed and one-eyed man, while pointing his cleaver, the man said coldly.
"We, from the Xiao family, have seen and heard everything. Please just so you like to tell everything without being covered up, so that we can determine the death of your life."
