Chapter 20 Fog

"Xue Gang! The pigeon breeder I asked you to find a while ago, has he achieved any results in training them?"

Knowing that there was something unusual about this trip to the capital, he would naturally not be unprepared. He would bring a pair of carrier pigeons so that he could call for help in case of emergency. After all, survival is the best policy.

"Reporting to Your Excellency! The grandfather and grandson who trained the homing pigeons have been found. After intensive training, they now have five pairs of pigeons available."

"Great! Remember to bring me two pairs, so we can stay in touch if anything comes up."

That afternoon, Mo Fei, accompanied by ten martial monks and two teams of carrier pigeons, embarked on his journey to the capital to meet the emperor, together with Eunuch Wei from the capital.

……

The group had traveled less than a hundred miles from Luocheng when Eunuch Wei, who had previously urged them to hurry, began to slow down uncharacteristically.

The attitude was completely different from when they were in the military camp, eager to get on their way.

Could it be that when the messengers inquired, Eunuch Wei simply made excuses that he was too weak to walk?

So the group dawdled for most of the day, but only managed to travel less than a hundred miles.

Seeing that it was getting late, the group stayed at an inn on the advice of Eunuch Wei.

Looking at the dilapidated post station in front of him, Mo Fei already had some guesses in his mind, but he was not sure.

Upon entering the post station, one finds it dilapidated and unmaintained for a long time.

It was complemented by dilapidated tables and chairs, rotten beams on the wooden house that were about to break, and spider webs hanging all over the roof.

If this were set in modern times, it would be so useful for filming horror movies that there would be no need to bother with setting up a film set.

Yichen was an elderly, hunchbacked man with a sallow complexion and a face full of wrinkles.

When he laughs, his few remaining dark yellow molars hiss and let in drafts.

Looking at this environment, one might not be able to figure out what Eunuch Wei is up to.

Upon entering the post station, the guards accompanying Eunuch Wei spoke rudely to the post station official:

"Bring up whatever food and drink you have for the grandfathers. My father-in-law is a royal angel. If you neglect him, you'll suffer the consequences."

Upon hearing that an angel had arrived, the hunchbacked official's face became even more humble and respectful. He quickly ran to the backyard with a smile to prepare food.

"I am feeling unwell and will return to my room to rest. I will not keep you company any longer, Your Excellency."

Before Wei Gonggong could agree, he led the monk soldiers up to the second floor.

Judging from this situation, it's clear that the other party has revealed their true intentions and may no longer intend to play along.

Eunuch Wei stared at Mo Fei upstairs with a gloomy expression, his eyes flashing with a palpable ferocity.

Upon arriving on the second floor, Mo Fei looked around at the surroundings before signaling the monks to open the door.

"Be on your guard tonight; something is likely to happen."

Upon hearing Mo Fei's guess, the monk soldiers couldn't help but ask:

"Does Your Excellency believe these people intend to deal with you at this inn tonight?"

Before Mo Fei could answer, Xin Bao spoke first:

"I don't think so. Given the Commander's strength, if someone wanted to harm him, they wouldn't resort to assassination." "Oh! What's your opinion?"

As a member of the martial monk team, Xinbao naturally joined the ten-person team this time after resolving his inner conflict with Mofei. He was already outstanding among the disciples.

Upon hearing Mo Fei's question, Xin Bao thought for a moment before answering:

“If anyone were to lay a hand on you, I have a feeling they would definitely investigate your situation.”

"Your Excellency has demonstrated extraordinary strength on many occasions, so if one were to deal with you, assassination would certainly not be the method."

Mo Fei thought about it and realized that Xin Bao's words made sense.

For a moment, I had no idea how the people hiding in the shadows would deal with me. Would they really send troops to besiege me?

If you can't figure it out, then don't think about it. Are you perhaps relying on your strength and planning to take things one step at a time?

"Alright, let's all disperse now. Anyway, it's better to be safe than sorry. Just be careful."

Meanwhile, downstairs, Eunuch Wei and his entourage were already sitting at the table in the post station, waiting for the postman to serve them their meal.

A guard nearby muttered a complaint:

"This little place is so damn run-down, I wonder what kind of food they have."

Wei Gonggong's expression was erratic, his eyes constantly glancing at the second floor, and he ignored the guards' complaints.

Before long, the messenger prepared the food and wine and brought them up.

The feast was unexpectedly lavish, with a whole chicken, half a mutton, and finally, the courier brought out two jars of aged wine.

Eunuch Wei glanced at the food on the table and said to his guards:

"Don't eat alone, go and send some to Commander Dong upstairs, otherwise he won't have a chance to eat."

Although the guards were somewhat unwilling, they dared not go against Eunuch Wei's wishes.

They had no choice but to select two companions, one of whom carried some food to Mo Fei's room.

Mo Fei, who was resting with his eyes closed inside the house, was reviewing Wei Gonggong's behavior. Although he knew something was amiss, he couldn't figure out his purpose for the time being.

But since the other party deliberately dragged their feet and brought me to this post station, they will probably launch an operation against me soon.

Honestly, could it be after the upgrade of the Sutra Repository?

He's really not afraid of anyone now; he's even a little excited, looking forward to an even fiercer storm.

"Commander Dong, you've been traveling all day. The post station staff has prepared a meal, and we've brought some to you."

Hearing the guards' shouts outside, Mo Fei was somewhat surprised that these people would be so kind as to bring him food.

Taking the food the two brought him, Mo Fei asked with some curiosity:

"Who ordered you to deliver this?"

Thank you for the votes from "Imprisonment Time," thank you for your support.
