Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty - Vol 2 Chapter 2139
Remember [] for a second,!
“Cao An! Go to the small market now and get two Huansheng incense sticks and come back~!”
Scorpio came to the lobby on the first floor of the inn, called a wolf guard who was guarding the door, and ordered in a deep voice.
“…Yes~! The three leaders!”
The Turkic spy named Cao An was stunned when he heard the words, and quickly took orders after he reacted.
“Wait~!”
Unexpectedly, Scorpio said again at this time: “You better not go there in person, you go to the inn to find a random person, give him some benefits, and let him help you go to the small market to collect the fragrance, and then you continue to guard It’s out the door!”
“…Yes! This subordinate will go now!”
Cao An thought that Scorpio was worried that if he personally went to the small market to pick up Huanshengxiang, it would cause problems with the defense of the inn.
In fact, Scorpio didn’t worry about this at all. The reason why he didn’t let Cao An go in person was because of another consideration. First of all, the ceremony came very suddenly, and he still couldn’t be completely sure about the calamity and whether the monks in Puguang Temple met with each other. There is a connection with the government; then, if this ceremony is really arranged by the government, Cao An will go there in person, if Duan and the monks in Puguang Temple recognize Cao An’s identity, I am afraid they will be different from Cao An’s “Huanshengxiang” !
As the saying goes, it is easy to hide with open guns, but difficult to defend against hidden arrows. At this time, Scorpio would not dare to gamble, and any decision he made must be “steady” first!
He ordered Cao An to find any Baixin to collect Huansheng incense for him, so that they could ensure that the Huansheng incense they got back was exactly the same as the Huansheng incense that the hundreds of believers in the small market received!
To be honest, Scorpio really does not believe that the Huansheng incense distributed by the monks of Puguang Temple to the people is poisonous, because the government will definitely not take the lives of so many people as a joke!
Therefore, as long as you can ensure that the Huanshengxiang you get is the same as what other people receive, the risk will be much smaller!
“Hey! Little beggar, uncle, I’ll give you a job. If you do a good job, you will be rewarded with money. Will you do it~?”
Cao An came to the outside of the inn, looking for passers-by, and was about to pull anyone over when he saw a slightly familiar figure squatting on the street opposite the inn, with a broken bowl in front of him. It was noon today. The little beggar who wanted to come to the inn to beg and was kicked out by him! So, Cao An took out a hanging copper coin from his arms, walked quickly to the little beggar, raised the copper plate in his hand, and smiled.
This is really a coincidence, because this little beggar is Tie Dan. It was said that Tie Dan saw the Turkic spy who was guarding the door of the inn (and it happened that this person was kicking him at noon), and walked straight towards him. , Tie Dan couldn’t help but feel a sudden rush in his heart, he thought he was exposed, and forcibly suppressed his nervousness. Tie Dan tried his best to make himself appear normal on the face, but his hands were secretly clenched to prevent himself from being really exposed. , Be ready to kill the opponent at any time!
Of course, this is only the worst plan, because once he is exposed, even if he kills the other party, he will definitely not be able to hide the other Turkic spies inside and outside the inn. In that case, today’s rescue plan will be completely lost!
And after today’s “beating the grass and scaring the snake”, it will be even more difficult to rescue Li Tai in the future! So of course I don’t want to really go this far!
There was a tea stall not far away, and the old man in coarse shorts saw the Turkic spies approaching the little beggar at the entrance of the inn. , as if what happened next had nothing to do with him, but his right hand holding the tongs suddenly tightened.
Fortunately, the Cao An in front of him is obviously not malicious!
After listening to Cao An Daoming’s intention, Tie Dan couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. At the same time, a trace of consternation and fear flashed across his face. Yes, just fear. After all, the person in front of him just kicked him at noon. How could he not be afraid, but after being afraid, it was a surprise. The little beggar opened his mouth and looked greedily at the copper coin in Cao An’s hand, then swallowed his saliva and asked cautiously:
“Master, what do you need your little one to do?”
Tie Dan’s acting skills soared on the surface, but in reality he was thinking secretly about how to reject Cao An, because according to the original plan, it would not be long before all of them would start acting, and he certainly didn’t want to leave at this time.
Cao An caught the fear and greed in the eyes of the little beggar, and couldn’t help but nodded. He said that the reason why he chose this little beggar was that he was familiar and easy to use. After all, he just kicked the little beggar at noon, and the little beggar treated him There is a certain degree of fear, and it is easier to use;
Second, safety, because this little beggar will definitely not be a government spy;
Third, compared to other people, this little beggar’s asking price is definitely less. Now the people who ask for Huanshengxiang in the small market either need it for themselves, or they want to get Huanshengxiang, and then resell it to the rich. If he asks an ordinary person to help, will others be willing to give it back? In addition, even if you are willing to help, the asking price may not be too low! As for this little beggar, other people are rushing to the small market to get Huanshengxiang, but the little beggar is still squatting on the street begging for food. He is obviously a brainless fool. Such a fool is better satisfied. , it is estimated that a hundred pennies can be sent!
“Hey~! Have you seen those people? They are all looking for the monks in Puguang Temple to get Huansheng incense. You also go over to get two for me, and then the one hundred coins is yours! With this one hundred coins Qian, you don’t have to go hungry for a month! How is it? Do you want to do it~?”
Cao An shook the copper coins in his hand, then pointed to the crowded crowd in the small market in the west, and said to the little beggar with a smile.
The little beggar was stunned for a moment (really stunned) when he heard the words, and only recovered after a while, his eyes lit up, and he looked at Cao An with a face of “surprise” and asked, “Is what you said true, sir? As long as I get two Huan… Huan Shengxiang, this one hundred pennies is mine?”
Cao An felt contempt in his heart, but nodded with a smile on his face: “Of course it’s true! I don’t have time to tease you here! How is it? Do you do this job?”
“Do! Do! Do! Of course!”
The little beggar couldn’t wait to nod his head quickly, and then he asked a little embarrassedly: “Master, if I want two more Huansheng… Huanshengxiang, can you give me some more money?”
Stupid, greedy!
Cao An silently put these two labels on the little beggar in front of him in his heart, but he didn’t care about them, because this kind of person with obvious shortcomings, he can use it at ease!
So he gave the little beggar a “sneer” and said, “Hey! I’m afraid you don’t know, the monks in Puguang Temple have rules. Each person can only receive two sticks of Huansheng incense. If you are really capable, you can get two more sticks. Why don’t I give you an extra 100 wen as a reward, sir? It’s alright, don’t talk nonsense, if you go late, I guess you won’t be able to get one!”
Although Cao An has been standing outside the inn, he has always been paying attention to the puja in the small market in the west. He naturally heard the “rules for receiving soothing incense” announced by Difficulties before, so he does not think that little beggars can be too many. Get two Huansheng incense back.
Even if he did get back two more, it would be a matter of a hundred cents. His “budget” was sufficient, and he was not short of a hundred cents!
“Hey~! Alright~! Wait a minute, sir, I’ll go get Huan Shengxiang now~!”
The little beggar nodded excitedly, and then he didn’t even want the broken bowl he was begging for, so he quickly ran towards the small market in the west.
Cao An smiled when he saw this, then turned around and returned to the inn to resume his life.
“…Things are arranged properly? Who did you ask for help~? Is it reliable?”
In the lobby on the first floor of the inn near a square table on the west side, Scorpio looked at Cao An who was returning to his life and asked.
“Don’t worry, the three leaders, the subordinates found a little beggar begging for food. The little bunny is small and runs fast, and it is also very good to jump in the queue when squeezed in the crowd. It is estimated that it will take a while to get Huanshengxiang back~!”
Cao An folded his fists and replied.
“Little beggar? Is your identity clean? Could it be a meticulous work placed by the government in Jian’an Fang~?”
Scorpio frowned and asked.
“Will not!”
Cao An hurriedly shook his head and said, “The little beggar is probably under ten years old, so he should have been begging in the Jian’an Square area all the time, and he wanted to come to the inn to beg for food at noon today, but he was kicked out by his subordinates, it could not be from the government. people!”
As the largest inn in Taiyuan City, Tongfu Inn not only has a clean and comfortable accommodation environment, but also the food and drinks provided in the inn are among the best in Taiyuan City, so beggars often come here to try their luck on weekdays, so beggars come here at noon. Inn begging, Scorpio is not surprised. After hearing this, he breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and said:
“It’s not the best! Go and stare at the little beggar from a distance now, don’t let him find out, see if he recognizes the monks who preach the scriptures in the small market!”
Although he was probably sure that there was no problem with the identity of the little beggar, the suspicious Scorpio still felt that it was safer to send someone to follow him.
After all, now is a critical moment, and there is no room for mistakes.
“Yes~!”
Cao An was a little unconcerned in his heart, and felt that Scorpio was too cautious and suspicious. During the previous communication with the little beggar, he had carefully observed the other party’s expression and reaction, and he was very sure that the little beggar could not be the official government. The meticulous work sent, Scorpio’s arrangement like this, obviously did not trust him, which made him a little unhappy, but who made the other party’s martial arts and status higher than himself? Even if he was upset, he had to endure it. After a pause, Cao An opened the mouth carefully and said:
“Three chiefs, just now my subordinates promised that little beggar~www.mtlnovel.com~ If he gets Huanshengxiang, the subordinates will give him two coins. Do you think the subordinates will give him money? ”
This guy is really dark-hearted. He clearly reported one hundred pennies (up to two hundred pennies), but he was directly reported twice, and no one has the ability to take rebates!
Scorpio frowned and said, “Give it to him! You will go to Boss An to get the money later!”
He is now focused on how to rescue Zhao Deyan and escape from Taiyuan City smoothly. Although he can default on his debts, he is too lazy to make trouble. It just so happens that there is a “local rich man” in the inn – Anshun Mountain!
“Hey! I didn’t expect the Turkic spies to ask me to take Huanshengxiang!”
Tie Dan ran in the direction of the small market, thinking very unexpectedly in his heart. In other words, if Cao An arranges other things for him, maybe he will find a way to refuse, but to receive Huanshengxiang, although this is also an unplanned thing, but this is something he is eager to do, because after the previous relationship with Li Junxian After a meeting, Tie Dan already knew that the master of “Crossing Difficulties” was also involved in the rescue plan, and “Crossing Difficulties” painstakingly introduced Huansheng fragrance to the people, there must be a deep meaning in it, in other words, this Huansheng fragrance Fragrant, it is very likely that this is the key part of this rescue plan!
