I played as an assistant in ancient times

Chapter 149 Waiting

"Which direction?" Shen Xiaoye stood up with a start, took out the night pearl from the space to cover himself slightly, put it on quickly and sat down in meditation.

The little black cat was already there, and swooshed out of the room to investigate. The little leopard wanted to chase him out but was caught by Shen Xiaoye's men: "Wait."

But after a while, Little Black Cat came back quietly and said, "It's the place where Master Wu Qi's other group of guests are staying. A masked man came and his skills are not worse than your uncle's.

Instead of stealing anything, he sneaked into the room and took out an elderly man.

When I arrived, the two of them went to the stable and the old man was preparing hay to feed the horses.

Shen Xiaoye: "Are you going to look for the groom?

Then you go explore again and I will follow you. "

Unusually, she did not meet Wu Qiye's buyer when she moved in today.

She whispered to the little leopard to close its eyes, otherwise she would not take it with her. Indeed, its eyes were more eye-catching and brighter than the little black cat at night, and she was afraid that it would make trouble if she didn't take it with her.

Afterwards, Shen Xiaoye tiptoed out of the house and walked along the alley that crossed the courtyard, directly approaching the stable.

The most special thing about Wu Qiye's courtyard is that there is a place for carriages and horses to park in the west corner.

It has a separate corner door to facilitate the entry and exit of vehicles loaded with goods, but usually no one else comes in except the gatekeeper, making it more convenient for people to have private conversations here.

She was not familiar with the place and didn't know where the little black cat was hiding, but she had to hide herself well first. The corner of the alley was the best position.

Through the wall, you can see lights on the other side and hear an elderly person saying, "We have all the best soybeans, don't rush to grab them."

Several mules and horses were a little restless. They vaguely sensed a hint of danger, but they didn't know where it came from.

Shen Xiaoye listened to the uneasy sounds of the mules and horses and guessed that it might be caused by the little leopard twitching its nose in his arms, so he took out a bag from the space and put it in.

The moment the little leopard opened his eyes to protest, she blindfolded him again. He felt very happy but did not resist anymore.

As soon as it became obedient, the mules and horses gradually became quiet under the delicious food.

This prompted another voice, "Their mules are better fed than our horses."

"Bart, why don't you come during the day but come at night?" the old man asked.

The other voice said, "Another thousand elite cavalrymen have been transferred to the capital today. You must report this.

I can’t leave, but you can.”

There was a moment of silence next door. Shen Xiaoye was shocked. These two were spies from the Northern Tartars.

After a while, the old man's voice came again: "It's useless to report it. We don't have any accurate information about the Beijing camp."

"But there have been a few times in recent times..." The other voice was almost inaudible.

Shen Xiaoye frowned and waited patiently. Soon he heard the sound of someone leaving. Only the old man was still muttering to the mules and horses to eat more.

Living in a residential area with houses on both sides, she couldn't fly out to chase the man. For safety reasons, she would not risk breaking the curfew. Breaking the curfew in a border town was no joke. She hoped that her little black cat could track down the other person.

Then when she saw the light flickering behind the wall, she considered climbing up the wall to look around, wanting to catch a glimpse of the old man's figure, but as her attention was distracted, the little leopard was squeezed and cried out.

"Who?" The old man's voice sounded a little cruel.

The moment he raised the flashlight to scan the surroundings, Shen Xiaoye decisively released the little leopard and took out a knife from the space to defend himself.

"Meow." The cry of a young leopard is very similar to that of a cat, and it runs very fast in the dark, so others can't tell clearly.

The old man secretly breathed a sigh of relief and slowly returned to the yard next door.

On this side, Shen Xiaoye also called back the little leopard. As soon as he returned to the room, a palm wind came at him.

She dodged it with a flash, and when the opponent kicked her lower body, she jumped away flexibly and said, "Grandpa, are you going to practice defense tonight?"

Meow, the little leopard is most familiar with him, but he doesn’t dare to come close to him when fighting.

"Where did you go?" Grandpa Shen Shanyou knew that he could not continue beating, so he turned around and blew on the tinder to light the oil lamp.

Shen Xiaoye organized his words, told him everything that had just happened, and said, "I remember the voice of this old man. Can I find a chance to meet him in person tomorrow?"

"We can ask the people in Jizhen for help on this matter..." Shen Shanyou thought it was not a good idea. From Xiaoye's retelling, he felt that the other party might not be a commoner.

"Master Wu Qi probably doesn't know that there is something wrong with the buyer's servant, but we can't tell him right away because we don't have evidence."

"Grandpa, this kind of thing doesn't require evidence, we just have to find the other one.

As for the person here, since he wants to send a message, let him do it. Follow him and see how he sends it.

But we don't have people who specialize in this to do this well.

I suspect that the other party may be from the army, a former surrendered soldier or a descendant of a former soldier. "Because in recent years, most of the Dada people who surrendered to the emperor have moved to the Central Plains or the southernmost land.

Shen Shanyou asked, "You mean to ask the Guardian Department? Are you going to let them believe it just based on the little black cat's meow?"

The little girl only brought back one leopard, and it was obvious that the other one was tracking.

"Well, do they have a government office here?" As soon as Shen Xiaoye asked, his grandfather rejected him: "We can't look for them. If we are involved in the recent situation, we may be detained here."

He pondered for a moment, "The identity of that person is just your speculation, and you didn't catch him on the spot, so it's best if we don't come forward to pass the news to the generals here."

Shen Xiaoye: "We don't know each other."

"Master Hengxi must know." Shen Shanyou decided, "He is a local tyrant. I will go and invite him tomorrow. Can you keep an eye on the people here?"

"Find the right person to cause trouble and don't let him leave. I will definitely keep an eye on him." Shen Xiaoye has the little black cat as his support, so he can always find the right person.

Shen Shanyou stared at her: "Sui Ge'er even taught you this?"

"I figured it out on my own." This is how it was written in novels in the past, and she could remember a few of them even without studying them.

"Grandpa, special events require special treatment. If the enemy appears with a magnificent formation, I will attack with a majestic formation, and vice versa." Shen Xiaoye would not put shackles on himself.

Grandpa took a deep breath and said, "From now on, don't listen to your fourth uncle."

Having said that, on the second day, Xiao Xuanmao found the old man from last night. Shen Xiaoye took the opportunity to walk around the yard and confirmed the other party, and Shen Shanyou quickly took action.

On his way to feed his horses, a bucket of cold water and a bucket of beans were knocked over by a running leopard, which happened to hit the old man, making him half wet and slipping on the beans.

Seeing that he was about the same age as her grandfather, Shen Xiaoye pretended to come up and help them up, but accidentally stepped on the other person's foot.

"Hiss." The fifty-year-old man cried out in pain.

Shen Xiaoye apologized quickly and found a doctor to help him see the doctor.

However, he did not expect that shortly after his bones were straightened, he took the opportunity to ask to return home to recuperate.

When she looked closely, she found that this man did not have any facial features of a northern barbarian, and looked so honest that one would not be able to find him in a crowd.

After this request was made, Wu Qiye's buyer could not stop it and said, "I'll send a clerk to take you there."

That won’t work. Shen Xiaoye must let him wait until his grandfather comes back.
