Chapter 1566 Shows that the Other Party Hides Deeply

Taking the letter back to the room, Liu Wei unfolded and read the contents.

There is only one sentence in it - at noon tomorrow, there will be a porridge shop opposite the Wanxiang Pavilion.

It's true that you can't find anything without wearing iron shoes, and it doesn't take any effort to get it.

If they had known that the other party would look for them, why would they have wandered around outside all day long.

Liu Wei put the letter on the table and looked at Rong Leng.

After a day of shopping today, Rong Leng already had a general understanding of the road layout near Xicheng, Laicheng County. He stared at the three words Wanxiang Pavilion and recalled it for a moment, then raised his head and said: "Next to Taili Bookstore."

Liu Wei immediately went downstairs to inquire about the store, and came back a quarter of an hour later. This Wanxiang Museum is similar to a bookstore, but unlike a bookstore that only provides sales, they will also publish some more expensive scriptures and classics for cash-strapped students to copy in the library. According to Liu Wei, it is a bit Like a modern library, but not as formal as a library,

It can only be regarded as a convenience for poor students who are dedicated to studying. There are either bookstores or literary and ink shops near Bayangfang, and that street usually has the most literati. This small town in Laicheng County has been a top imperial scholar, and the Prime Minister has paid special attention to academics for decades. Education, I just hope that one day a big shot will come out and bring some blessings to my hometown.

Ze.

The other party chose to meet at the Vientiane Pavilion. Was it a coincidence or intentional?

Whether it's the "Diamond Sutra" or the "Collection of Poems", they are all related to books. The other party seems to be a literati?

Full of questions, Liu Wei discussed with Rong Leng for a long time.

Rong Leng's view was different from Liu Wei's: "The guards have been here for a month. After many twists and turns, there is no clue. You and I have only been here for half a day, and someone came to the door in person. Do you think this is a coincidence?"

Of course it's not a coincidence.

You came out of the Prince's Palace to check trivial matters in the remote countryside. You are overqualified, but a whole team of people have achieved nothing in a month. What does this mean? It means that the other party is hiding very deep, so deep that it can even hide you. The people who surrendered to the palace were playing with applause.

The other party quickly discovered their whereabouts and came to the door in person. What does this mean? It means that the other party can detect their route and know when they entered the city and which store they stayed at.

But along the way, they didn't notice that they were being followed.

Rong Leng's gaze was very sharp, and his eyes were fixed on the small piece of paper. After a moment, he picked it up again and showed it to Liu Wei.

Liu Wei stared at the line of words and read it again. This time, after reading it, his expression changed.

"The store owner said that the person who wrote the letter was a child, not a teenager or a young man. The store owner is in his early years. The person he calls a child is only a teenager. A child in his teens can write well. It takes seven or eight years to practice regular regular script." Laicheng County belongs to Western Xinjiang. It is a remote place with simple folk customs. In the capital city where flowers are blooming, it is of course easy to raise a child who can write brilliantly at the age of ten. As long as you don't If you are short of money, you can buy paper and ink, study hard every day, and don’t worry about the paper and pen. After a few years of hard work, you can still achieve something small.

.

But in the barren and desolate frontier, this is difficult to achieve. Most people have to count the rice grains when cooking. How can they have so much spare money to raise a scholarly child?

So now the situation has become very contradictory. First of all, the other party is indeed a literati. Only a child from a family with a scholarly background can casually write such a good piece of writing that is considered a masterpiece after being exposed to it since childhood.

Secondly, the other party is not an ordinary literati. Most of the ordinary scribes are ignorant of the world, or simple and upright, but this time they are facing someone who can trick the people in your palace, and when they look back, they can confirm it accurately. Their whereabouts.

It's not surprising that the two forms are separate, but together they are very subtle.

Rong Leng was not at ease about tomorrow's trip. Being good at conspiracy theories, he was afraid that this was a trap.

But Liu Wei planned to take a gamble: "Since the other party sent a child, it is to reassure us. Maybe the other party really just wants to see us?"

Rong Leng frowned and did not let go easily, but there were indeed many secrets in Laicheng County that they had not expected before coming.

the next day.

Before noon, Liu Wei and Rong Leng arrived at the porridge shop opposite the Wanxiang Pavilion. The boss was an honest young man. They ordered two bowls of porridge and two plates of steamed buns. Seeing that they were new faces, the boss served them in big bowls. I also got two extra vegetarian buns.

Rong Leng looked up at him.

The boss smiled with big white teeth and said: "You two gentlemen must be from outside the city. Our county is small, and people from outside the town are very curious when they come here. These are not valuable. You can eat it, eat it, and come and play next time."

Liu Wei smiled and thanked her. While drinking porridge, she stared at the Wanxiang Pavilion across the street. From time to time, she could see Mr. Yang from Taili Bookstore holding a storybook and reading it with gusto.

From 2:00 pm to 2:00 noon, the porridge was finished and the steamed buns were almost eaten, but no one showed up.

Liu Wei couldn't help frowning and glanced at Rong Leng.

Rong Leng's eyes darkened, and he finally raised his hand to signal the guards hiding nearby to retreat.

Liu Wei lowered her voice and said, "If it's really because they didn't show up, I'd be really curious. Is the other party so smart?"

"Two distinguished guests, do you want anything to eat?" the owner of the porridge shop asked as he collected the empty bowls on their table and wiped the table.

They had been sitting here for too long, but the other party had reserved this position, and they couldn't leave at will. Therefore, Liu Wei had to order two more bowls of sweet potato soup.

The sweet soup was served quickly. Liu Wei was full just now, and now he couldn't drink it. Rong Leng took two sips, but it was too sweet, so he didn't move.

Until three quarters of noon, the other party had not appeared. Liu Wei couldn't sit still, so she finally picked up the soup bowl and took a big sip.

After half a mouthful, the bottom of the bowl became clear. Liu Wei didn't notice it at first, but suddenly her eyes turned to the left and she was stunned for a moment.

I drank up the sweet soup in two gulps. Sure enough, there were words engraved on the bottom of the bowl, which read, Enter Taili Bookstore.

Liu Wei and Rong Leng looked at each other, Rong Leng frowned and called the store.

The shopkeeper was still smiling when he came over. When he saw them placing the empty bowls in front of him, the shopkeeper didn't ask any questions. He just bent down and put the bowls away. He looked up at the bookstore opposite, and he still looked that honest and honest: "You two will find out when you get there."

They are indeed in the same group.

Rong Leng had a sullen face, but Liu Wei laughed and said good-naturedly: "It's like a secret agent."

The store owner looked at her suspiciously, as if he didn't understand what "secret agent" meant.

Liu Wei didn't understand, so he put a piece of silver in his hand and went into Taili Bookstore with Rong Leng.

Mr. Yang, the owner of the bookstore, still looked like an old man. When he saw them coming, he didn't get up. He raised his chin and asked them to take the books on the counter. It was a copy of the Lotus Sutra.
