Origin Chapter 207: Two gnomes

The speaker was unintentional, the listener was intentional, and when he heard the dwarf's words, Wu Zhongyuan immediately thought of the Luanfengjian. The reason was very simple. There was a golden slip hidden in the Luanfengjian, and after the golden slip was taken out, the Luanfengjian could be restored.

One of the two dwarfs was in his forties and the other was in his thirties. The dwarfs looked similar to him, with short arms and legs and big heads. The two dwarfs both wore hats on their heads. He was wearing a fox fur hat, and the one in his thirties was wearing a dog fur hat.

The one talking was the fox fur hat. The dog fur hat took the mutton handed over by the store and gave it to the fox fur hat. "Brother, why don't we go in together."

"I have to stay outside and take care of you," said the fox fur hat.

The dog skin hat looked around, and saw that there was no one around, except for a young man who was eating cakes, also looking in the direction of the prison, thinking that no one noticed them, the dog skin hat turned to the fox skin hat and said, "Brother, , let's go in together, and if something happens, we can have someone to take care of."

"Why are you so unpromising?" Fox Fur Hat raised his hand and gave Dog Fur Hat a slap.

The slap hit the dog's skin hat on the left shoulder, kicking up a cloud of dust.

At this time, another person came to buy food, and the two left the food stall and walked north. What's going to happen.

The fox fur hat was helpless and could only agree to go in with him. The dog fur hat then turned from worry to joy, holding the piece of mutton in both hands and chewing.

After the two walked over, Wu Zhongyuan turned his head to look at the two from behind. The two guys had a lot of dust on their bodies. Looking at their walking posture and eating movements, they looked very strange. They swayed, and they used their molars to chew the mutton when eating, and they chewed it very fast. These two dwarfs were probably not humans, but two aliens who were good at digging holes.

Waiting for the food buyers to leave, Wu Zhongyuan approached the food stall and asked the owner, "Brother, did those two shorties come to buy food often?"

"Not often, but occasionally." The owner replied.

"Why haven't I seen them before?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again.

The shop owner said, "They are not from the cattle tribe, they came from outside."

"How long have you been here?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"It's been seven or eight days." The owner said, everything has a reason, the reason why he knows everything about Wu Zhongyuan is because Wu Zhongyuan is generous, a sheepskin vest can be exchanged for twenty scones, and Wu Zhongyuan only needs two.

Wu Zhongyuan thanked him, turned and walked north.

"Hey," the owner called him from behind, and when Wu Zhongyuan turned around, he kindly reminded him, "They seem to be good at kung fu, so don't mess with them."

Wu Zhongyuan nodded, turned and walked towards the prison wall.

Knowing that the nine-yin wizard of the bear clan was arrested, everyone came to watch, and there were many people outside the prison. At this time, saving people was like a moth to a fire. Wu Zhongyuan didn't plan to save people. He approached the prisoner. Prison just moved northward under the cover of the crowd, stalking the two dwarfs secretly.

Now it's the mantis catching the cicada. The two dwarfs are the cicadas, and he is the mantis, but beware of the oriole behind. The two dwarfs are probably not alone, and they may have accomplices.

The basis for the judgment is that there are many people who know that the Luan Fengjian is in Jiang Nan's hands, but not many people know that there are golden slips hidden in the Luan Fengjian. At this time, it is not like modern times. There are Internet and mobile phones, and now the spread of news is relatively slow. , Wu Huan informed Wu Qin immediately after learning the news. Wu Qin and Wu Huan met four days ago, and at that time the two dwarfs had come to Lianshan City.

In other words, the two dwarfs got the news even earlier than Wu Huan got the news. It's impossible for these two dwarfs to talk about secret second-hand goods in the street at the first time. According to the news of Jin Jian, they were probably ordered by someone, and the person who ordered them might be hiding nearby.

Following is also skillful, one can't follow behind stupidly, and have to mix into the crowd. Second, you can't stare directly at the target, you have to pretend to be unintentional. Third, you can't reveal that you are not familiar with the people around you, and you have to greet passers-by from time to time.

Wu Zhongyuan greets people from time to time, and most of the people he greets will respond. In fact, they don't know Wu Zhongyuan, but they are not sure if they really don't know him, or if they knew him but forgot.

The two dwarves had been walking north until they reached the end of the street and then headed east.

Wu Zhongyuan did not follow the same way, but walked a street to the west, from the west to the north, when he got to the north street, he glanced east, the two dwarfs were still walking east, and the east was A small river, after they reached the end, it was impossible to continue to go east, and they had to turn north.

So they continued north and waited for them at the next intersection.

In this way, I finally found the residence of the two dwarfs. There is a house at the foot of the mountain. The people living in it are all civilians at the bottom, and the two dwarfs live in the house in the northeast corner.

To the east is a small river, and to the north is a mountain forest. There is a stone building on the mountainside to the north. There are many trees around the building. I can't see the specific shape of the building. I can only vaguely see that the stone building is quite large. The small river to the east of the residence flows through the east of the stone building on the mountainside.

There are women washing clothes on both sides of the river, and there are several wooden houses along the bank. A woman with wet hair came out of one of the houses. It seems that the wooden houses are the places where the residents bathe.

It's March and you can't bathe in room temperature water unless it's a hot spring. You don't need to try it with your hands, just look at the green grass on both sides of the river to be sure.

In this way, it is not difficult to guess where the building on the mountainside is. It should be a hot spring bath. According to the size of the stone building and its location, it is likely to be reserved for nobles. bathing place.

The straight-line distance between the two dwarfs' residences should be about 1,000 meters away from the bath on the mountainside. It is by no means an overnight effort to dig a hole into the bath, but the two have been here for seven or eight days, and they should have dug it out. There is a tunnel leading to the bath.

It's no secret that Jiang Nan got the Luanfeng sword. The best way to protect the Luanfeng sword is to carry it with you, but you can take it with you when you eat and sleep, but you can't take it when you take a bath. These two dwarfs must be trying to take advantage of it. When Jiang Nan was taking a bath, he sneaked into the bathroom and stole the golden slip from Luanfeng Sword.

As for why the two did not directly steal the Luanfeng sword but only the golden slips inside, there are many possibilities. The biggest possibility is that they are worried that Lianshan City will be closed after stealing the Luanfeng sword. Get out of your body.

Even if he guessed what the two dwarfs wanted to do, he couldn't do anything, because he was a warrior of the bear clan, and he had just sneaked in. Not to mention he didn't know where Jiang Nan lived, even if he knew, he wouldn't be able to get there. inform her.

It's definitely not possible to stand by and watch. If they really steal the golden slips in Luanfengjian, Luanfengjian will no longer be a psychic weapon that can replenish spiritual energy.

Managed to notify the other warriors in the city to come and capture them? No, how to notify? In what way are you notified? No matter what means of notification fails, the Niu clan will think that someone is deliberately attacking the east and west, and will take the lead in closely guarding Wu Di.

Let's take a step back and say that even if the Niu clan did not have any suspicions, but sent people to arrest them, it would be fine if they were caught, but if they escaped, wouldn't it mean that the whole city was under martial law, and how would they save people at that time? How to escape?

Do it yourself, take them down? No, he stayed outside the city with the bow and arrow, and he was not sure about fighting the opponent at close range. Even if he had the bow and arrow in hand, he had no chance to use it, because the two of them were hiding in the house, and he had no chance to use the bow and arrow.

After thinking hard for a long time, I feel that the only feasible way is to take advantage of the two to sneak into the bath and steal the sword, blocking the tunnel and preventing them from returning the same way.

And if you want to block it, you can only block the exit near the bathtub. Blocking the entrance in the dwelling is not effective. The two of them can make a hole from other places.

Thinking of this, I went back to the west side intersection and sat down. From here, I couldn't see the bath on the mountainside, but I could see the road leading to the bath. If someone went to the bath, he could see it.

If Jiang Nan did go to the bath, the two dwarfs would sneak in and steal. After Jiang Nan went to the bath, there was no one in the dwelling, so he could do it at that time.

Soon after sitting down, I found that a group of women came down the steps from the top of the mountain. Like the bear clan, the royal family of the bull clan lived high in the city.

There were seven or eight women who came down from the mountain. They were all dressed in royal clothes. They stayed a little closer. Wu Zhongyuan could see the appearance of those women. They were all beautiful women. It is the queen's wife, and the younger ones may be princesses and nobles, and Jiang Nan is also among them.

Jiang Nan is holding a sword in his hand, which should be the Luanfeng sword. The reason why it should be said is because the Luanfeng sword itself does not have a scabbard, but the long sword in Jiang Nan's hand has a scabbard. She must be holding the sword. It was prepared after measuring the sword after Luanfengjian.

In addition to the long sword, Jiang Nan also carried a small basket in his hand, which should be a change of clothes and bathing supplies.

Jiang Nan is wearing a nobleman's costume this time. It is beautiful, charming, and graceful.

When Jiang Nan and the others disappeared into the bathtub on the mountainside, Wu Zhongyuan got up and went east to the house where the two dwarfs were. of people did not respond.

Turn left and right, look north and south, make sure that no one is there, climb over the wall and enter.

There is not much soil in the yard, but there is a hole leading to the east. To the east of the house is the river. This tunnel must be the place where the two deal with the soil. Sent to the river to be washed away.

The two were not in the house, but their clothes were left, which showed that the two were indeed different, and they had already entered the tunnel at this time.

The entrance of the tunnel is about five feet wide, which is wider than he imagined. It runs diagonally upward. If the tunnel is ignited from the entrance, the smoke will go upward.

But looking around, there is nothing to make a fire, and nothing to burn.

At this time, Jiang Nan's time to enter the bath is not short, and he can't delay. He has to go in quickly to stop it, but these two dwarfs can't let the two dwarfs steal the golden slip in Luanfengjian.

Thinking of this, I seem to feel that something is wrong. It seems that I am eager to stop it, not just because I am worried that the dwarf will steal the golden slip, as if there is something else.

After thinking about it carefully, I understand, and I don't want the dwarf to peek at Jiang Nan's bath.

There is only one dagger on my body, which is not very suitable. After looking around, I grabbed a dung fork from the corner of the wall and crawled into the tunnel...
