Chapter 177 The Bearded Man Gets More and More Angered
Footsteps were heard outside the dungeon again.
It was the jailer who came to deliver food.
Princess Changle did not move. She closed her eyes and leaned her head against the wooden frame behind her, trying hard to resist the loss of body temperature.
The iron gate's chains were opened, and the jailer entered with a food basket, shouting disrespectfully, "The Emperor's order is to not starve you to death. Open your eyes and eat!"
After saying that, he picked up the bowl and chopsticks and rudely fed the food into the woman's mouth.
The jailer squatted down skillfully, blocking the view of the other prisoners outside. Then he said quickly in a whisper, "Princess, Thirteen and the others are discussing a rescue. You must hold on."
"Tell them not to act rashly. He won't let me die. I'm still useful." Princess Changle's eyes were still closed. "Just follow the previous plan and act accordingly."
The jailer gritted his teeth and said, "But if he finds anything suspicious, he may not spare the princess's life! We are still short of manpower, Princess, why don't I go and ask Yuan--"
The woman's eyes suddenly opened, and the fierce look in her eyes made the jailer subconsciously fall silent and dare not say anything further.
"Whoever dares to go find him will never serve me as their master again!"
This one sentence made the jailer's eyes red, and he didn't say anything after feeding him.
This place is a mess.
She didn't want to drag him into this mess and get him dirty.
He finally escaped, so he shouldn't come back.
Her business is only her business and has nothing to do with anyone else.
…
In the backyard of a pilgrim inn at a pier thousands of miles away from the capital.
In the small kitchen, a group of people, having eaten and drunk their fill, were slumped over in small chairs, chatting.
The old man lay on a bench made of four small chairs, legs crossed, picking his teeth and sighing, "Life is so comfortable these days. There's a fight every few days, and after the fight there's good food and wine... If those people keep coming, I can walk around Da Yue three times."
The bearded man was so full that he stretched out his arms and legs without moving a muscle. He only opened his mouth in defiance, "Of course you feel good. It's not like what you're eating is your family's food, haha!"
In order to have a peaceful meal, they would go to the twelve dock strongholds along the way in batches, gather in the strongholds to have a big meal and a good sleep, and then go out together after they had regained their energy and wait for others to come to them.
Every time a fight came to his door, he dared not slack off and would make sure again and again that everyone who came was dead before he dared to leave.
If he lets any one of them get back to tip off the enemy, his stronghold in Dai Viet will be in danger of being wiped out by the imperial court.
The bearded man became angrier the more he thought about it.
Fuck his grandma, when I think about it, he is the one who suffers the most!
He turned his head to look at the person playing with the folding fan, "Bai Xiaofeng, you should have quite a few restaurants and teahouses in the country, right?"
Bai Xiaofeng is engaged in the business of buying and selling information. He has a huge intelligence collection network. Da Huzi doesn't know how huge it is, but it must cover every corner of Dai Viet.
The best way to collect information is to run a teahouse or restaurant, which can accommodate customers from all walks of life and get information from them.
Bai Xiaofeng didn't even raise his eyelids, his expression remained calm, "No."
"You're kidding!"
"If you don't believe me, go check it out if you can."
The bearded man withdrew his gaze expressionlessly.
He discovered that each of these Dogecoins was more cunning and shameless than him.
Regardless of whether I come here or go back, I am determined to pull my hair out of him.
Don’t think about it anymore, lest you die young.
Duan Dao sat aside in silence, his eyes fixed on the empty space outside the door, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Bai Xiaofeng glanced at him vaguely, with a heavy look in his eyes.
It was getting late, so the group decided not to continue their journey and stayed in the inn for the night.
Before going to sleep, the little girl still wanted to ask, "Is it safe? Do we need to wait for someone to come?"
The old man answered for the tenth time, pushing back the little girl's head as she tried to get out of the mosquito net. "The last wave of people chasing us are all dead. It will take at least two days for the next wave of people to track us down. There's no fighting, so go to sleep! Little kid, you won't grow tall if you don't sleep at night!"
The kid is quiet.
Du Buwei was both angry and amused. He blew out the candle, walked out of the room, and closed the door for the child.
The moonlight shining overhead is very bright, and the moon hanging in the night sky is almost full. In a few days it will be August 15th.
It’s Mid-Autumn Festival.
The old man walked to the other side of the corridor in the backyard of the inn with his hands behind his back and climbed onto the gray tile roof.
There were already three old men sitting there, each holding a pot of wine, drinking silently under the moon.
Seeing the old man coming up, Broken Blade threw him an unopened jar, "Yours."
Du Buqin took the wine and grumbled, "I don't like this stuff."
Having said that, he still opened the wine jar and took a big gulp after sitting down.
"At this rate, it will take another month to get back to Border Town." Broken Blade leaned against the roof, gazing at the other side of the night sky, his eyes somewhat dim. "Nangong Yin refuses to give up, and the assassins he sends to hunt us down keep coming. As soon as we kill one group, another comes. Although we're not afraid of them, their endless pursuit is very annoying. I suggest we all go our separate ways and change our appearances. It will save us a lot of trouble."
The bearded man agreed with both hands, "That's a great idea. With Bai Xiaofeng here, we can all change our faces and go our separate ways. The target will be scattered and disappear, and the pursuers won't be able to catch up. How much easier!"
Bai Xiaofeng said nothing, but raised the jar of wine and drank slowly. His handsome face was even more charming in the night, but his snake-like eyes were too deep.
"Tianbao enjoys fighting. It's okay for us to go our separate ways. You take the four boys with you, and I'll take Tianbao to gain more experience along the way." Du Buwei's attention was all on his mouth. What the hell was this wine that was so spicy that it made people feel uncomfortable from their mouths to their throats.
The old man resisted the urge to fan his mouth. He glanced at the bearded man sitting next to him, his eyes full of excitement, and the old man's evil intentions began to bubble up unconsciously. "Speaking of changing our appearance, it's easy for us, but it may not be so easy for others. If you want your face to grow back where it should be, you have to shave off this beard anyway--"
Before he could finish his words, the person next to him got angry. "You're here to mess with me again, aren't you? I still have my beard! If you want to shave my beard, chop off my head first!"
"Since you have such a request, I, an old man, can reluctantly agree to do you a favor. Stick out your neck!"
"Fuck you!"
"Fuck your grandpa!"
The two men put down their wine jars and chose another place to start fighting.
Most of the Twelve Wharf outposts are near the river. Late at night in the summer, the air is extremely misty. Sitting on the roof for a while will make your skin covered with a layer of sticky water vapor, which is sticky and cold.
Bai Xiaofeng lowered his eyes and gently shook the wine jar in his hand, causing the wine in the jar to make a clanging sound. "You deliberately sent them away. Do you want to return to Changjing alone?"
Broken Blade was silent for a moment, then hummed, "I know I can't hide it from you. But with you here, the old man and the children will definitely be able to return safely. I have confidence in you."
"Don't flatter me. I won't fall for it. Your plan can only hold the secret for now. If that old bastard Du Buqin and his boys return to the place of exile and discover you're not back, they'll come running to rescue you, and we'll have to mobilize all our forces again." Bai Xiaofeng chuckled, his lips curled up. "But I don't know if it'll be so easy next time."
Broken Blade frowned, "The princess has done the Yuan family a favor. I can't pretend I don't know when she's in trouble."
Bai Xiaofeng raised his eyes, "Did you guess it?"
