It Starts With A Mountain

Chapter 204

At night, Xu Shenji, Qin Man, and Xu Linger gathered together to exchange the information they had obtained.

"Recently, there are two important events in Chang'an, one is the military examination, and the other is that Yang Longting is coming to Chang'an. These two things need not be mentioned. I also heard about one thing, the Rong tribe's peace negotiation team is coming, this time it is In order to marry a certain princess of the empire. There is another matter, the sixth prince of the empire disappeared a year ago, and his whereabouts are still unknown."

After a year of getting along, the three of them have developed a tacit understanding. Every time they go to a place, the three of them will separately inquire about information, see if something may be related to Cheng Dalei, and look for clues.

"I heard in the market that there is a Hulu Mountain in the west of Chang'an City. There are a group of bandits entrenched on the mountain. There are more than 1,000 bandits. "

"Well, I heard something." Xu Linger said: "The biggest brothel in Chang'an is Man Tingfang, and Man Tingfang's courtesan is named Yizhitao, and a peach has always been with guests. No matter how many people spend a lot of money, it is hard to see a peach. On the one hand, but for the sake of this military examination, Yizhitao has already spoken out, if anyone can win the first prize in Wushu, Yizhitao is willing to promise each other." Xu Linger.

"Man Ting Fang Hua Kui, a peach?" Xu Shenji thought thoughtfully.

"Master, your body is not good anymore." Qin Man.

"Who said I'm not healthy, I'm in good health." Xu Shenji was furious and said, "What's the matter, I'm just wondering if this matter has anything to do with the boss."

"Does it matter?" Qin Man.

"It doesn't seem to matter." Xu Shenji sighed, suddenly remembered something, and said to Xu Ling'er, "How did you find out about the news of a place like the brothel?"

"I went in. I pretended to be a flower seller, and they let me in."

"How can you go to such a place as a girl!" Xu Shenji was shocked.

"Why can't I go there, the young ladies and sisters are all talented, and they speak nicely.

"When did I go, I was there for work, work... I told you that you didn't understand."

"Military, counselor, let's get down to business, do you see this news, is it related to the big boss?"

"It seems that it doesn't matter." Xu Shenji thought for a while and said, "Of course, today is only the first day. Chang'an has a lot of people. Let's inquire. If we can't get any news, we will go to Hulu Mountain. Take a walk."

"Will the big boss be in Hulu Mountain?"

"It's possible, the big boss can't forget his old business."

After the talk, the three of them were a little disheartened. They searched for a year, but there was no news from Cheng Dalei. Chang'an is everyone's last hope. If you can't find it again, you really don't know where to go.

"It's getting late, let's take a rest. Chang'an is overcrowded now, and there are warriors rushing to take the exam. We only have one room. Ling'er, you sleep on the bed, and Qin Man and I lay the floor."

"I don't know when we will find the master." Ling'er sighed.

"To say that... Toad... It's really enough. He entered the palace after birth. There are so many masters in the palace, and they didn't even notice it."

At this moment, a voice came from the next room, and I couldn't hear it clearly through the wall, only the word "toad" was vaguely heard.

For a whole year, the three have been looking for Cheng Dalei, and now they are allergic to these two words. At this time, the three of them were all clever, stood up and rushed out of the room in an instant.

boom!

The door of the room was kicked open, and the two fat men in the room were drinking tea. At this time, they were shocked when they saw the three vicious intruders.

"You... who are you?"

Before he could react, Qin Man had already pressed one person's neck with the knife, and the other person was about to speak when Xu Linger's knife rested on his vest.

"Three heroes, three heroes, spare your life."

Xu Shenji closed the door, walked over with a smile, and said, "You two, don't be impatient. We just want to ask the two of you about something. Apart from that, we will neither seek money nor kill them."

"I can give you the money you want, please don't kill me."

"Seeing that you two are nervous, you must be treating us as bad people." Xu Shenji filled the two of them with tea and said, "Drink a cup of tea first to suppress the shock. I just wanted to ask, what were the two talking about just now?"

"We're talking about the famous hero Flying Toad in the capital."

"Flying toad?" Xu Shenji and Qin Man looked at each other, they nodded to each other, Xu Shenji sat down opposite them, leaned slightly: "Tell me in detail."

As soon as this matter was mentioned, the two fat men immediately became excited, spitting and flushing.

"Flying Toad is a great hero, specializing in robbing the rich to help the poor, and only attacking wicked people who are not benevolent for the rich. How many times the officers and soldiers have arrested him, even without touching his shadow, once the imperial guards in the palace did it, but The net was set down, and what happened in the end, he was stunned to run away."

"I heard that the toad hero is not a mortal person. He was born with a pair of fleshy wings on his back. He can fly up to the sky with one fan, and only a few dozen feet when he stomps his feet. How else is it called a flying toad."

"I think so too. If ordinary people can escape the pursuit of the imperial guards in the palace, they must not be ordinary people."

Xu Shenji, Qin Man, and Xu Linger looked at each other, and they all felt that this flying toad's behavior was very similar to Cheng Dalei's, and the matter was at least five points.

But the key is how to find this flying toad. Since it is a thief, it is naturally hidden and will not be easily discovered.

"This Toad Master also has a rule. Before committing a crime, he will send a two-finger note to the other party's house, stating that he will go to steal treasure at a certain time on a certain day. Master Toad has done so many cases. , is it seventeen, or eighteen, but there has never been a day's delay."

"It's seventeen. Three days ago, Zhou Langguan received a note from Toad Hero, which stated that he would take Zhou Langguan's official seal at three o'clock tonight. I heard that there was a small picture on the note. Toad, adding this one is eighteen."

Teng!

The two fat men were chatting vigorously, but they forgot that there was still a knife on their necks. Suddenly, the three bandits jumped out and the door opened.

The two fat men rubbed their heads, not knowing what was going on.

"Brother, are they gone?"

"It seems to be gone. Second brother, what do you think they are doing?"

"It's estimated..." Fatty paused: "It's also a hero."

"What man?"

"So fast, Rabbit Man?"

Suddenly, the three people who had just left jumped back.

"Forgive your life, hero, spare your life, we said everything."

"Speak!" Qin Man growled in a low voice, "Where is Zhou Langguan's house?"
