After the Legend Chapter 34: Nomonka

Minna felt something was wrong when she saw it. Grandpa used a long sword, and he rarely took it out. He always put it in the storage ring. What's more, if he wanted to enter the room, why would he be sneaky? If he was afraid of waking himself up, his light footsteps would not be a problem at all.

Not grandpa, who would it be? Before grandpa left, he once instructed her to lock the door, how could others come in so easily? Even the innkeeper has no reason to carry a knife.

Is it a thief? ! robber? Thief?

Ming Na slipped out of bed quietly, and saw a foot slowly step into the crack of the door, followed by half of her head. It was so dark that she couldn't make out her appearance, but seeing how he looked left and right, she felt I don't feel like a good person.

What should I do? Grandpa was away, and the potion box was in the ring. Apart from clothes, blankets and books, there were only teapots, cups, tables, chairs, water basins and other things in the room.

Ming Na panicked for a while, and felt that the thief was abominable, and actually came to the door when her grandfather was out and she didn't have any weapons. If Grandpa is here, no matter how many thieves come, they are not his opponents.

Wait a minute... Grandpa went out the window, how could the thief know he wasn't there?

Minna's heart moved, thinking of the bluffing tactics she had seen when she was playing with the boys in Edun. Seeing that the thief was about to move her whole body into the door, she pretended to have just woken up and said, "Grandpa, Did the wind blow the door open? Would you like to go have a look?" Then he made some noises by the bed, pretending that someone was about to get up.

The shadow really stopped, but he didn't mean to give up. He just took two steps back, but he put the dagger across his chest and covered it with his other arm.

Ming Na has been practicing swordsmanship for several months, how could she not see the intention of his actions? Knowing that the thief was just going to take advantage of the "people" on the bed to close the door, he stabbed someone and got angry. When he hid behind the door again, he quickly ran behind the table and tried his best to get to the door. push the direction.

The sudden loud noise made the man stunned. When he woke up, Minna had pushed the table to block the door, which startled him. Ming Na moved a few more stools up. Although the tables and chairs were thin, looking at them made her feel more at ease. After she had piled up the quilts, water basins, etc., she issued a lighting spell. Seeing that the iron quan on the door was safe and sound, it was just removed, so she hurriedly tied it up.

The man outside the door knew that he was being fooled, and pushed the door vigorously, intending to teach him a lesson, but he didn't expect that Mingna's actions had caused a lot of noise, which was very harsh in the middle of the night. , Right now is the market season. Most of the guest rooms next to it are filled with people. When they hear the voice, some people curse, and some people look out. The person sees that the situation is not good, and hurriedly runs away.

Ming Na was dead behind the pile of tables and chairs when the person pushed the door. She felt that she could not hold it anymore. At this time, the thrust suddenly disappeared, and there were bursts of people outside the door, but she didn't know. Did that person leave, so he just stood still. She breathed a sigh of relief when the neighborhood gradually returned to calm.

A shadow flashed by the window, which startled her a lot. She couldn't help but open her mouth to shout. When she heard the shadow make a sound, she realized that it was Grandpa who came back. She felt relieved, but her legs felt weak.

As soon as Xiao Tianjian came in, he felt that something was wrong in the room. He hurriedly lit the oil lamp and saw the pile of desks and chairs by the door, his eyes were straight: "What is this? What happened?!" Ming Na After telling him what happened just now, he asked embarrassedly, "Grandpa, I drove the thief away, isn't it smart?"

Xiao Tianjian smiled and patted her head: "Of course, she really deserves to be my granddaughter!" After a pause, he restrained his smile a little: "But in the future, if you encounter such a dangerous thing, don't fight hard. Well, you are a child, just hide under the bed, anyway, all the valuables are on me, he can't steal it."

Minna was happy at first, but then she was a little disappointed and pouted in dissatisfaction. Xiao Tianjian was actually a little scared. If the thief was a little smarter or more reckless, his granddaughter's life would be very dangerous. He would be fooled by such a sentence, maybe it was just an ordinary thief.

But what happened to this place? Back then, he also followed Lila's family to Heisha Town to catch a fair, and he lived in this inn. The money he got from selling things was clearly kept in the room and the door was not closed, and no one would come to steal it. How degenerate is it that a thief steals something with a knife in the middle of the night? !

Seeing that Grandpa seemed to be thinking something, Ming Na was about to ask, but suddenly remembered something she had been caring about tonight, and hurriedly asked, "Did Grandpa see that bad guy? Did you catch him?" Seeing that Xiao Tianjian entered the room alone, she thought he had lost his hand.

"I didn't catch him." Xiao Tianjian woke up from his thoughts, "The person you saw in the store, and his accomplices are just hooligans, it's no big deal. The person who ordered them looks well-dressed. , but it's actually just a housekeeper of a nobleman in Nomonka. I listened to his tone and seemed to be satisfied with the work of the two men, and promised to take one to see the big boss behind the scenes. I thought he was not the mastermind, so he did nothing ."

"Not the mastermind?" Ming Na tilted her head and didn't quite understand what he meant. "Then what are we going to do? Just let him go?"

"How is that possible?" Xiao Tianjian smiled slightly, "He is not the mastermind, but an important clue. If we want to know who the real mastermind is, we have to rely on him. Mingna, grandpa taught you a new idiom today, It's called 'following the vine'."

======================I really want the dividing line to appear ================= ===

When Ming Na rode the newly bought horse with her grandfather the next day, far behind the noble housekeeper and the man she had met in the tavern, her mouth was so high that she could almost hang on to gas bottle.

Grandpa doesn't talk anymore. He clearly promised to take her home, but now he has to follow those two people to somewhere unknown. Now she doesn't know how long it will take to go home. Grandpa Marshall must be in a panic, Mom and Dad... Although they both left themselves and walked away, they must be worried about themselves after being separated for so long?

Xiao Tianjian followed the horses of the two and realized that he was walking on the only road leading to Normonka, the capital of Norga, and he also knew the destination of the two in his heart. Fortunately, there are still others walking on the road, so the target is not suspicious, but Xiao Tianjian is careful, he does not follow too closely, just sticks from a distance, always pay attention.

Occasionally he lowered his head and saw his granddaughter's dissatisfied expression, feeling a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "Good Mingna, good Mingna, be obedient, grandpa promises you that as long as you find the mastermind, I will send you home as soon as possible. Anyway, we have already It’s no difference if I go back half a year later, but if I let this clue go, I don’t know where to start.”

Minna was in a better mood after hearing his words, but she was still unhappy. But thinking about the person they are following now, the same group of people who hurt Xiaola and killed the elf last time (she thought), if they never knew who the other party was, Xiaola, Uncle Qiao, Brother Leif, The uncles and aunts in Phantom Town, as well as Xiao La's beautiful mother, may all be hurt, so she felt that her grandfather's words were reasonable, and her dissatisfaction with him was greatly reduced.

Xiao Tianjian felt the change in his granddaughter's mood, so he secretly sighed in relief, and then focused on the tracking object.

After crossing a few mountains, they have gradually taken over Nomonka in the southwest. The weather is getting warmer, flowers and trees have increased along the road, and the grass on the hillside is full of large tracts of green.

Unlike her grandfather who had to keep an eye on people, Ming Na spent several days on horseback and was bored, so she paid attention to the roadside scenery and pedestrians.

The farther south you go, the better the people wear. Gradually, there are fewer patches. Although the poor still wear sackcloth, there are many more people who are well-groomed and well-dressed. It is very different from the snow mountain area.

The hem of the man's robe is shortened to the knees, and the trousers are tucked neatly into the boots. The headscarf is gone, replaced by a flat-top round hard felt hat. Some people have various patterns on the hat. The short shawl has become longer, and it is thickly placed on the shoulders, and one end is wrapped around the chest like a scarf. The loop, hanging behind the back, looks very chic, and the texture of the shawl is very good, and the brocade thread is common.

As for women, the dresses they wear are light and soft, and embroidered with patterns. Unlike the thick headscarves of women in the north, in addition to the thin gauze, they also have a felt hat on which is embroidered. , or decorated with ornaments, very beautiful. Girls from ordinary families just put some stone beads, wooden beads or bone beads on them, and noble or rich women use pearls and gems. Nuojia women often go out, so Ming Na has seen a lot along the way. Near Normonka, she even saw a woman who was obviously from a wealthy family, wearing a shawl made of gold and silver threads, which seemed to be quite heavy, a felt hat on her head covered with gems, and strings of pearl tassels hanging down. Twenty or thirty heavy gold pendants were also tied to the end of the scarf, and they swayed and undulated with the horseback under the woman. Ming Na stared at the woman slowly passing by in a stunned manner, feeling pity for the horse in her heart.

Xiao Tianjian kept his eyes fixed on the object he was following, and did not pay attention to others. There was a large lake in front of Innomonka, and everyone had to line up to take a boat to cross the lake. He fell too far behind, worried that he would not be able to get on the same boat as his target, so he pointed when people were not paying attention. Ming Na blushed a little when she found out, but she didn't say anything, but the people next to her were very dissatisfied. Xiao Tianjian didn't take it to heart at all. Even in his original world, he had never heard of police following criminals and obeying public order. What he is doing now is not much worse.

Finally got on the same boat as the target, and on the other side, the city gate was not far away, but there were many soldiers guarding the gate, questioning the people who entered the city one by one. The target seemed to be a noble housekeeper, so he quickly brought people in. Xiao Tianjian followed closely, only saying that the soldiers had checked their ID certificates. He had a lot of such documents on him, so he didn't take it to heart. , who knows but was stopped.

He has black hair and black eyes. He is rare on the mainland. He is obviously a foreigner. He said that he was just here to visit a friend, and also said the address of the branch of Xiao's firm in Normonka, and he couldn't get out. Seeing that the target's back was about to disappear, he couldn't help but feel anxious, and simply threw out a bag of gold coins. The soldier's face changed immediately, and he was about to curse, but a small officer stopped him, snatched the bag of gold coins, and sent Xiao Tianjian's grandson into the city gate with a sneering smile. He turned around and cursed the soldier.

Finally entering the city, Xiao Tianjian hurriedly followed the direction of the target, but the streets were full of people, where can I find it? Ming Na looked around to help find it, maybe because she was still riding on a horse, she looked farther, and swept the back of one of the targets with sharp eyes, and hurriedly told her grandfather to follow, it was the noble housekeeper, as for the other one. One person, but disappeared.

Xiao Tianjian didn't care too much, he just pulled the horse and followed, turned left and right to the door of a luxuriously decorated hotel, and saw the man entering and asked for the third VIP room.

He was about to hug his granddaughter to follow, when the clerk at the door saw that the two of them were busy, they didn't seem to be rich, so he put on a snobbish face, and was smashed by Xiao Tianjian with a gold coin to make a smile, Very enthusiastically, he and Ming Na were sent to the No. 4 VIP room, which was next to the private room of the noble housekeeper. They also graciously brought face water and meals, and let their horses feed the most expensive ones. feed.

Ming Na anxiously wanted to know what that person was doing in the next room. She thought that the clerk was annoying, so she hurriedly took a few bites of food, and then sent him away. Then, without waiting for Grandpa to say hello, she took the initiative to eavesdrop on the wall. . However, most of the people in this hotel are rich people, the building materials are not stingy, and the walls are solid. She didn't hear anything and looked at her grandfather in distress, but he just smiled slightly, raised his right index finger and snorted, Ming Na knew that he would definitely be able to hear it, and she was overjoyed.

Xiao Tianjian could only hear that there was already a person in the next room, and the target was talking to him: "...how about you? I have completed the task well on my side. There are five or six mercenary teams who have already received the news. Some of them left for the Elf Forest, and the reactions of the elves were exactly what His Highness expected."

"Is this necessary?" This was the voice of another person. "As long as the elves close the forest, it's fine, and continue to send people. It will be bad if the elves bounce back."

"What are you afraid of? They always don't care about external affairs. If only one or two teams of mercenaries go, maybe the elves think it's all right, and they will reopen the forest, then our efforts will be in vain. Anyway, we die. It's just mercenaries, what's the point? It's your side, I heard it's not going well?"

"Don't say it, those people of the Light God Cult are all stone heads, no matter what I say, they just refuse to open the passage. I have prepared a few plans, no matter what, I must make them nod. OK."

Target sighed: "I'm going to continue to run around, but the third one is going well. The matter of Murray will be a foregone conclusion in three days. I really envy him."

Xiao Tianjian's heart moved. Could it be that these people are not just drawing the elf forest? Who is that "His Royal Highness"? Is it the Noga royal family? Is it that Mario? He has the ambition to unify the continent, which many people know, but the Elf Forest and Nuojia are separated by snowy mountains, grand canyons and misty wasteland. Is he also interested? If this is the case, it is not good. The two countries are adjacent to each other and the number of elves is small. If Nuojia really wants to plot against them, with the arrogance and innocence of elves, they may not be opponents.

Ming Na looked at her grandfather's face, and wanted to know what the two were talking about. She was about to ask, but there was a knock on the door. The grandfather and grandson immediately returned to their seats and let people in. , but it was the clerk who rushed to greet them if they were eating deliciously. Xiao Tianjian sneered in his heart and was about to stab him, but when he heard the person in the next room was about to leave, he hurriedly interrupted the flattery of the clerk and was about to settle the bill.

Ming Na was a little surprised when she looked at the food on the table, but she also knew that Grandpa's decision must have his reasons. As a result, when they finally got rid of the long-winded and flattering clerk with a few gold coins and left the private room, Ming Na saw that the next room was empty, and knew what Grandpa meant.

The enthusiasm of the clerk disturbed Xiao Tianjian's tracking. When he came to the door of the hotel, he could no longer see the figure of the target, but now he couldn't find it. The grandfather and grandson sighed together, and Ming Na complained, "It's all that shop clerk, who is chatty, as if he's never seen money. Grandpa, what should we do now?" Is it meaningless for her to give up her plan to go home early?

Xiao Tianjian thought for a while and said, "Let's go to the Xiao family business. They are familiar with this place and may be able to find out about that person."

Ming Na nodded and followed her grandfather back on the horse. She walked a few streets and came to the edge of a bustling and bustling market. The largest shop there was the branch of the Xiao family business in this city. Xiao Tianjian took out a token and shook it in front of the clerk, and was immediately greeted respectfully in the back room, and the horse was led to the stable.

The head and deputy managers of the branch have all met Xiao Tianjian and received him happily, but they have some doubts about Ming Na: "This young lady is..."

"This is my youngest granddaughter, the daughter of my second son." After a pause, Xiao Tianjian added, "Have you heard about it? I have an extra son." In fact, two~IndoMTL.com ~ But on Ludlow's side, the elves don't want him to reveal his child's identity.

Ming Na raised her smiling face to greet the two stewards: "Hello, grandpas, I'm Ming Na." The two stewards responded with a smile, but their expressions were a little stiff. Xiao Tianjian noticed it, and he was puzzled. When his little granddaughter was taken down by two local servants to wash up, he asked.

The two stewards hesitated, seeing Xiao Tianjian's unsightly expression, knowing that he never liked his subordinates to hide things from him, they said, "Actually, it has nothing to do with the young lady, it's the second young master Anlong..."

"What happened to An Long?" Xiao Tianjian asked, "Isn't he in Yidong?"

"It is indeed in Ito, in the City Guard Knights. Your Excellency Count, do you know that in the past six months, the Second Young Master and the Knights have stopped the convoy in our line more than a dozen times, from the carriage mezzanine Did you find a lot of stuff?"

Xiao Tianjian was a little stunned. His son knew that there was a mezzanine in the company's carriage. It was probably when the Mayton branch sent him to Yidong, but why did his son do this?

Zhengguanshi said: "Actually, whose caravan's carriage has no mezzanine? We are the only ones who are unlucky. Except for the three branches of Mayton, Gutenberg and Matt, all the other branches were searched and fined. The money doesn't count, and a few of the stewards went to jail. Although they were released in a few days, we have been in this business for decades and have never suffered such a loss. Many people are very dissatisfied with the second young master. "

"That's right." The deputy steward also said, "And I heard that the second young master is very close to the third child of the Heda family, Lord Earl, you should know the hatred between the Heda family and us, what is the second young master thinking? what?"

Xiao Tianjian frowned, he really couldn't understand, what was his son's idea?

(It's a bit late, but the word count is 5K...)
