Chapter 225 Seeing an Old Friend Again
Ten days passed in a flash, and the walls of Xingfen City were already visible from afar. The journey was not even thrilling, as the Xianyun Caravan had already made arrangements.
It must be said that following the caravan was indeed safe. The price was a bit expensive, costing five hundred taels, but no one had any objections.
When Chen Fei went from Xingfen City to Xianyun City, the ticket price was one thousand taels. Now, the price from Xianyun City to Xingfen City is directly reduced by half.
According to Chen Fei's estimation, if he returns to Xianyun City from Xingfen City, the price will still be one thousand taels, or even more expensive. This Xianyun Caravan knows people's hearts very well.
Chen Fei and Chu Wennian said goodbye. After ten days of short time together, they did develop a little friendship. But after all, they had different destinations, and they had to part in Xingfen City.
"Brother Chen, goodbye!"
Chu Lan's eyes were tearful, and she waved hard at Chen Fei. The emotion of reluctance accumulated in her chest, making Chu Lan want to cry loudly. Chu Lan knew that this separation would probably last a lifetime.
"Goodbye!"
Chen Fei waved his hand. After the caravan went far away, Chen Fei also left the place and found an inn to stay.
According to Chen Fei's plan, Chen Fei would stay in Xingfen City for a few days and find a channel to inquire about the current situation around him. If possible, it would be best to find out all the situation in Pingyin County.
When Chen Fei left Xingfen City, Pingyin County had been swallowed by the strangeness. Now it is unknown whether it has become a forbidden area or other changes have occurred.
Chen Fei did not plan to go to Pingyin County. The village where he was originally located was a long distance away from Pingyin County. It was remote and it was possible to avoid the strange disaster.
Early the next morning, Chen Fei shuttled through several alleys in Xingfen City and finally stopped in front of a shop.
"Sir, what news do you need?"
Walking into the shop, Chen Fei just sat down and the shopkeeper asked with a smile.
Chen Fei looked at the furnishings around him, which were exactly the same as the one he had bought before.
Yes, the place where Chen Fei came to buy information this time was the branch of the shop that Chen Fei destroyed after Chi Defeng was kidnapped. There are several shops like this in the whole Xingfen City.
"Are there any dangers around Xingfen City recently, such as weirdness?"
Chen Fei asked directly. It is easy for people to know that you are an outsider. But there are too many outsiders in Xingfen City now, many of whom are here to escape, and Chen Fei is not uncommon.
And with Chen Fei's current strength, this is Xingfen City, not Xianyun City. In many cases, Chen Fei no longer needs to worry about many things.
"Fifty taels!" The shopkeeper thought for a while and gave a price.
Chen Fei did not bargain. He took out fifty taels from his sleeve and put them on the table, pushing them in front of the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper smiled even more, tapped the table with his fingers, and in just a moment, a folded paper was passed from the back hall and handed to Chen Fei.
Chen Fei turned the paper over and looked at the contents carefully. After a moment, Chen Fei's eyes moved away from the paper.
Compared with when he left, the surrounding area of Xingfen City has not changed much, and no particularly strong weirdness has emerged. The only thing is that a cave appeared dozens of miles away, and no one who entered it has appeared again.
Even warriors, even warriors in the marrow training realm, have not been exceptions.
Fortunately, the cave is not on the same line as Chen Fei's way back to Pingyin County, and it will not cause any additional trouble to Chen Fei.
"Is there any latest news about Pingyin County and its surroundings?" Chen Fei looked at the shopkeeper.
"Yes, two hundred taels!" The shopkeeper was a little surprised when he heard Chen Fei's question, but he didn't ask more.
In this business, nowadays, people listen more and don't ask more.
Of course, I wasn't so cautious before, but as more and more people came to Xingfen City, martial arts masters appeared more frequently.
There was a branch that was silenced a few months ago. In the end, the murderer was found and killed on the spot by the boss behind the store. But this could not bring all the people in that branch back to life.
Chen Fei still took out two hundred taels very straightforwardly. After a moment, another piece of paper was handed over. Chen Fei turned it over and looked at it carefully.
Compared with the information just now, Pingyin County has a lot more content.
After Chen Fei read it briefly, he bowed to the shopkeeper, left the shop, and walked slowly towards the location of the inn.
There is no one in Pingyin County anymore, because it is still shrouded in weirdness.
If it were a peaceful and prosperous era, the court would send troops and strong men to kill the weirdness in Pingyin County on the spot as soon as this happened.
But unfortunately, now is a chaotic era, and the court is overwhelmed by various rebels, so how can it have time to care about this remote county. If the court doesn't care, the rebels will naturally not care, so it is now a weird world.
And I don't know if it's because it devoured all the living people in Pingyin County, this strange power is growing very fast. According to the information, the range covered by this strange is gradually exaggerating.
"Is it already a second-level strange?"
Similar to the classification of monsters, the second-level strange, corresponding to warriors, is the level of the training realm, which is equivalent to the strangeness of the wind strange realm at the beginning.
Fortunately, the range covered by the strange now has not extended to the village where Chen Fei's original body is located. If Chen Fei goes to look for it now, he will not collide with the strangeness in Pingyin County.
Chen Fei is planning to set off for that village in one or two days. If the obsession outside the acupoint is eliminated as soon as possible, Chen Fei can break through to the training realm as soon as possible.
Although he is not weak at the viscera training realm, his cultivation in the orifice training realm makes Chen Fei feel more secure.
Chen Fei walked through the bustling street and was about to cross the threshold of the inn when his footsteps stopped in place. Chen Fei's eyes were focused on the faces of the two people at this moment, with some surprise in their expressions.
Ling Hanjun, the bandit leader in Pingyin County, later joined the rebels, and Chen Fei even fought against him once. With Chen Fei's strength at that time, he was naturally far from being a match for Ling Han's army.
So at that time, Chen Fei just used his bow and arrow to kill a few of Linghan's army's men.
In addition to Ling Hanjun, Chen Fei also saw Shan Xiang, the personal maid of Zhang Sinan, the eldest daughter of the Zhang family in Pingyin County.
Pingyin County was swallowed by the strange beast. Chen Fei thought that the people in Pingyin County were in bad luck, but he didn't expect that Shan Xiang and Ling Hanjun had nothing to do with them.
Then Zhang Sinan, the eldest daughter of the Zhang family, should probably be fine too.
What makes Chen Fei a little strange is how these two people who are almost incompatible with each other are together now.
Shanxiang should be out shopping, and Linghanjun is considered a bodyguard? In addition to the two of them, several servants followed cautiously. Within a moment, these people disappeared from Chen Fei's eyes.
Chen Fei thought for a moment and followed slowly.
Chen Fei was either curious about Shanxiang or Zhang Sinan. What Chen Fei is more curious about now is Ling Hanjun, the original bandit leader.
Half an hour later, Chen Fei watched Shan Xiang and others walk into the Xu family's residence, with a somewhat strange expression on his face.
Why does this have anything to do with the Xu family?
Chen Fei still remembers Xu Wangliang's massive search for Chen Fei and Chi Defeng in Xingfen City, but nothing happened in the end. Chen Fei didn't expect that he had only been in Xingfen City for two days and already met so many acquaintances.
Chen Fei glanced at the Xu family's courtyard wall, his figure flashed, and the person had disappeared.
"Miss, I'm back."
Shan Xiang walked into a courtyard, and Zhang Sinan was wielding the sword in his hand, moving around in the courtyard. The sharp sword light spread in all directions, and after a moment, the sword light slowly stopped.
"Have you bought everything?" Zhang Sinan took the handkerchief Shan Xiang handed over and wiped the sweat on his forehead.
"A few things are out of stock. I'll have to go back in a few days." Shan Xiang shook his head and said.
Zhang Sinan nodded and didn't ask any more questions. Instead, after practicing for a while, he started practicing again, as if he didn't want to stop for a moment.
Chen Fei stood in the dark, his body breathless, like a dead tree. If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, you wouldn't have realized that there was a living person standing here.
Chen Fei looked at the two Zhang Sinan in the courtyard. Zhang Sinan's cultivation had reached the peak of the Bone Forging Realm, and was only a little short of entering the Marrow Training Realm.
As far as Xingfen City is concerned, Zhang Sinan can be regarded as young and promising if he reaches the marrow training realm.
Chen Fei was really curious about the relationship between Zhang Sinan and Zhang Sinan in Xu Mansion. But it was just out of curiosity. Chen Fei had no intention of getting to the bottom of it, let alone appearing in front of Zhang Sinan and the others.
Back in Pingyin County, after Chen Fei rejected Shan Xiang's request, Zhang Xianping appeared to kill Chen Fei.
Based on Zhang Xianping's original behavior of not caring about other people's lives, he probably took it upon himself to kill uncooperative people in order to deter other former servants of the Zhang family.
But no matter what, the friendship between Chen Fei and the Zhang family disappeared after that day.
If it were anyone else, they might have rushed down at this moment and killed the two of them directly.
Chen Fei is not bloodthirsty!
Chen Fei took one last look at Zhang Sinan and the two of them, then his figure flashed and disappeared. As for Zhang Sinan, they didn't know that there was an old friend who had been here before.
Chen Fei's figure jumped, and following the induction of his breath, he came to a room, opened the door and walked in.
Ling Hanjun was resting in the room. Hearing the sound of the door opening, his brows furrowed in displeasure. Ling Hanjun hates others the most, coming in like this without permission.
Those servants would never dare to do this. Only those who are also guards would dare to do this.
But when Ling Hanjun turned to look at Chen Fei and saw Chen Fei's face, Ling Hanjun couldn't help but be startled. This appearance was too unfamiliar. He had never seen it among the guards before.
assassin?
But seeing Chen Fei's calm and unhurried approach, Ling Hanjun hesitated for a moment, and Chen Fei's expression was too calm. It was as if a young master from some family in Xingfen City came to play tricks on him.
"Stop, who are you!"
Years of living in the green forest have made Ling Hanjun extremely irritable and cautious. Chen Fei's step by step approach made Ling Hanjun narrow his eyes slightly and couldn't help but shout in a low voice.
Chen Fei didn't say anything. In a few steps, he came to Ling Hanjun and grabbed Ling Hanjun's neck with one hand.
"How brave!"
Chen Fei, who was also in the Bone Forging Realm, dared to attack him with his bare hands. The long knife in Ling Hanjun's hand suddenly lit up and slashed at Chen Fei's neck.
Before the light of the sword fell, it froze in mid-air.
As if teleporting, Chen Fei's hand had already grabbed Ling Hanjun's neck in advance. Ling Hanjun struggled violently, but found that he could no longer move.
Life or death, it all depends on Chen Fei's thoughts.
Ling Hanjun couldn't help but show a look of horror in his eyes.
The other party is not in the Bone Forging Realm at all!
