Chapter 555 Thanks
He didn't have Ying'er with him as usual. He even wore a curtain hat on a hot day. When he reached an intersection, he looked around. After a person walked out of the alley, he exchanged a few words and the two of them exchanged words. and go inside.
Before leaving, I looked around again.
The whole action can be said to be sneaky and rather suspicious.
Wu Jin also saw Fan Jinglan and wanted to run towards her excitedly.
Xia Yunji frowned slightly, squatted down, and seemed to be telling Wu Jin, but also seemed to be talking to himself, "This person has a personal matter. It would be inappropriate to go too far to verify it. People always have their own little secrets, right?" ”
Wu Jin didn't understand Xia Yunji's jabbering, but he still gave a "woof" in a dignified way.
"Okay, let's go look for something good." Xia Yunji stood up and took Wu Jin along the route he had just planned.
All the way west along the street, it was early morning after breakfast, the weather was sunny but very cool, there were many farmers not far from Fucheng setting up stalls here, selling vegetables, eggs or handmade gadgets.
Xia Yunji walked around for a while and saw someone selling bamboo balls.
The round ball made of bamboo strips is as big as a human head. There are a few small copper bells tied inside. If you shake it randomly a few times, it will make a crisp and sweet sound.
Xia Yunji thought the copper bell bamboo ball was very interesting, and seeing that Wu Jin was very satisfied with it, he paid for it.
One person and one dog continued shopping. When they reached the western end of the street, they found an alley and turned to the second street in the north.
However, just after walking a few steps along the alley, Xia Yunji noticed something was wrong.
It seemed like someone was following him.
The other party's footsteps were very light, and he was obviously a very skilled person. He stopped and walked, always keeping a close distance from him.
But if Xia Yunji turned slightly sideways, the other party's figure would immediately disappear into the gatehouse along the street, just in time to avoid it.
Interesting.
Xia Yunji smiled slightly, pretending not to notice, and continued walking forward with Wu Jin. As he walked, he even deliberately shook the bamboo ball in his hand to make the bell inside make a pleasant sound. The sweet-scented osmanthus tree planted in front of someone else's house can be reached by jumping up and down.
Walking like this until the end of the alley, Xia Yunji led Wu Jin to turn to the right.
The figure behind them chased after them, but when they turned to the right, they saw that the alley in front of them was empty, and there was no trace of Xia Yunji and Wu Jin.
Um?
The figure was slightly startled and stared at the spot for a long time. A burst of laughter suddenly came to his ears, and then Xia Yunji jumped over the wall next to him with Wu Jin in his arms, and landed steadily on the ground.
Xia Yunji put the Wujin in his hand on the ground. Wujin was very uncomfortable because he soared into the air twice in succession. He felt top-heavy and his steps were frivolous. It took him a moment to stabilize.
But in order to avoid being laughed at because of his unsteady stance, Wu Jin chose to sit on the ground and look at the two people in front of him.
Xia Yunji looked at the person in front of him and couldn't help but touch his nose, "It is indeed Madam Fan, but I don't know what Madam Fan is doing by following me like this."
Fan Jinglan took off the curtain hat on her head and smiled sweetly, "Sure enough, General Ji has noticed this a long time ago, but he just jumped into someone else's house to take shelter. I'm afraid it will scare people." "No." Xia Yunji was very surprised. Confidence, "I just saw it at a glance There was a lot of dust on the door panel of this house, and the door lock was already a little rusty. Even the door and door frame did not have new couplets pasted on it. It can be seen that no one had lived in it for a long time, so this was done just now. Decision.”
When Fan Jinglan heard this, she looked sideways and saw that the scene in front of her was exactly as Xia Yunji said, and she couldn't help but nodded slightly.
However, Xia Yunji had just walked along at a not too slow pace, and it only took him a moment to turn around. Excluding the time it took for him to climb over the wall with Wu Jin, there was not much time left for him to observe.
In such a short period of time, it is possible to observe so carefully and make corresponding decisions very quickly...
This Xia Yunji has some skills.
Fan Jinglan couldn't help but nodded again, "General Ji is indeed General Ji."
Although during the previous trip to the military camp, I also learned from my second brother that Xia Yunji was a brave and skilled man, but this was just a hearsay, and seeing it with my own eyes was always different.
What's more, a little knowledge can be regarded as a slight lesson.
But in the face of Fan Jinglan's praise, Xia Yunji didn't appreciate it. Instead, he immediately smiled and looked at her with piercing eyes, "Ms. Fan hasn't said yet why she followed Wu Jin and me just now."
"Well." Fan Jinglan tilted her head, smiled and arched her eyebrows, "If we talk about it carefully, I want to thank General Ji."
"Thank me?" Xia Yunji was stunned.
He did not remember doing anything beneficial to Fan Jinglan during this period.
"Yes, General Xie Ji." Fan Jinglan said with a smile, "Just now, General Ji had already seen me sneaking around there, but he didn't come up to say hello. It didn't delay my business, so of course it was Of course I want to thank you for helping me.”
It turned out to be because of this.
Xia Yunji suddenly understood, but he could not suppress his curiosity, "Since Madam Fan said that she was sneaky, what exactly is Madam Fan doing? Can you tell me?"
When mentioning this matter, Fan Jinglan sighed first, her face wrinkled up, "It's okay to tell General Ji, but how can I talk about this..."
"At first, I was mistaken, but after careful pursuit, I found something. I handed these people over to the Yamen and asked them to deal with them."
"Oh?" Hearing what Fan Jinglan said, the curiosity on Xia Yunji's face became more intense.
When Fan Jinglan saw this, she explained the whole story clearly.
It turned out that when Fan Jinglan was wandering on the street these two days, she encountered people sneaking around on the street two or three times, like they were talking to each other. Especially when she heard those people vaguely uttering the words "available" and "fidelity", I feel like this is a bit unusual.
Considering that this is the capital city of Changzhou, adjacent to the border, and the war between the Zhou Dynasty and the Jin Wei Kingdom is ongoing and the situation is tense, at this time, it is most likely to collaborate with the enemy and treason, and smuggle weapons and grain.
Fan Jinglan was very sensitive to this matter, so she specially disguised herself and deliberately approached to find out what those people were doing.
After a lot of hard work, Fan Jinglan lowered her profile and successfully connected with those people. She also successfully saw the so-called seller just now.
However, those sneaky sellers are not the so-called smugglers and sellers of weapons or food, but people who are reselling the goods of Wufu Workshop!
