Chapter 620 Misunderstanding

"It's natural."

This time, the resolute young man named Cang Bei did not hesitate and saluted Xu Yuan solemnly:

"Can you lend me some pen and ink? I'll help you map out where the princess is."

Mapping?

Xu Yuan hesitated for a moment and asked:

"It's okay, but why map it instead of just taking me there."

Cang Bei raised his eyes and glanced at the sky, but he was not looking at the stars above the vast dark night, but at the large formation below that enveloped the entire town of Zhenxi Fucheng, and whispered:

"Young Master, you sent someone to shout in the evening. I'm afraid it attracted some people's attention. The defense level in the city has been raised a lot tonight."

Saying,

Cang Bei reached into his arms and took out a dark token with the word "西" engraved on it:

"And this order can only protect one person under the formation."

It is difficult to guard against the human heart, only the preset formation will always fulfill its duties.

Xu Yuan stared at the token for a few seconds, then suddenly glanced at Zhou Chen.

Seeing this, Zhou Chen quickly took out a similar token from his arms and said with a thick smile:

"Sir, after being transferred to Xifu City in this town, Zhou did some practical things. This is the order."

"okay."

Doing something without being seen by the higher ups is the same as not doing it. This week the Grand Master really wants to make progress.

Xu Yuan smiled and interrupted the other party's request for credit, and looked at Cang Bei beside him.

Although Cang Bei was a general in the army, he was well-versed in people's feelings. There was a trace of self-deprecating sadness in his eyes, and he whispered:

"What this gentleman is holding is the Qujiang Token of our Zhenxi Prefecture. It has great limitations. With the level of city defense tonight, there is a high possibility of being exposed. We cannot take risks."

Cangbei's meaning is obvious.

He followed Zhou Chen here to risk exposure, but he must not bring the danger back to the princess.

Xu Yuan understood in his heart, turned around and walked towards the hall, saying softly:

"Yes, during this critical period, any disturbance will attract attention. Come in with me."

The hall was brightly lit and the incense was faint, and an elegant girl in royal attire suddenly came into view behind the table.

The girl lay lazily on the soft chair, leaning on the armrest with one hand to support her chin, and reading a volume of books in the other.

The temperament is very strong, but the figure cannot be controlled.

Seeing the three people coming in, Tian Ye moved the book in front of his face slightly downward, revealing his beautiful golden eyes and glanced at a few people, then ignored them and continued reading.

Walking to the case, Xu Yuan glanced at the witch.

The place where the two of them were located was the headquarters of the Black Scale Guards in Zhenxi Mansion. There were many confidential documents in it. Out of boredom, Tian Ye had been reading the files here all afternoon.

She came from 20,000 years ago and needs to understand all aspects of the current era.

Xu Yuan took out the pen and ink from the Sumeru Ring and put it on the table. Xu Yuan wrote in a low voice to Cang Bei behind him:

"Good work."

"."

The vigorous and resolute march of the army left Cangbei without any nonsense. He picked up the Langhao pen and began to paint on the rice paper.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xu Yuan glanced at Tianye, frowned and said:

"Why don't you cover up your appearance?"

"Didn't you realize that these two people can't see me?"

"."

Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows and glanced back at the other two people in the room, only to see that Zhou Chen and Zhou Chen were indeed as Tianye said, not even aware of the presence of the fourth person in the room.

Tianye chuckled, put the scroll on the slips, and chuckled lightly:

"I used the mantra of 'hidden' to cover my aura in advance. I will accompany you to meet Princess Li Junwu later?"

Xu Yuan rolled his eyes, then hummed:

"You should know the power of the city defense formation."

Without burning his life, no matter how strong Tian Ye is, he will eventually be limited by Tian Yan's cultivation, and the perception module of the city defense array in a border town like Zhenxi Fucheng is comparable to a saint.

With the Yushu ring protecting her, Tianye had better not take risks, but if the witch was obedient, she wouldn't be called a witch.

Thinking in his mind, Xu Yuan sighed:

"But if I say I won't let you go, won't you go?"

Hearing this,

Tianye's tone was a little dissatisfied, and he hummed twice:

"Tsk, tsk. With the Yushu ring, I can't look down on others~ I'm a guy who loves the new and hates the old."

As she spoke, she suddenly bent her eyes and smiled, with a hint of teasing in her tone:

"Besides, you don't want Tian Yan to see your relationship with the princess, right?"

After saying this, the girl chuckled twice, and without giving Xu Yuan a chance to refute, she picked up the scroll and covered her face.

Xu Yuan wanted to say something else, but Cangbei had already drawn the map.

The moon is sparse and the stars are hanging high.

Li Junwu's hiding place is not too far away from Xu Yuan's yard. The straight-line distance is only four or five miles. Even if a detour is required due to the checkpoint, it is only seven or eight miles.

At Xu Yuan's normal speed, this was only half a stick of incense, but due to the strict night curfew of Zhenxi Mansion, it took Xu Yuan a full quarter of an hour to reach the inn marked on the map.

The long street is empty, the doors are closed, and the moonlight is shining, like a ghost street.

Standing alone in front of the inn, Xu Yuan raised his eyes to confirm for a moment that the name was correct, then directly used Yuan Qi to open the locked wooden door and walked in.

Due to the curfew policy, except for those elegant brothels with big backgrounds, restaurants and inns that entertain guests have to clear the lobby and force everyone to go back to their rooms when Haishi is approaching.

Looking over, from Xu Yuan's point of view, the inn where the busty brother lived was really shabby.

The hall was dark and quiet. The smell of crude wine and food mixed with the sweat of the merchants spread in the air, which was very unpleasant.

This should be an inn for mortal merchants.

The layout inside was a bit similar to the Tongfu Inn that Xu Yuan had seen in his previous life.

Xu Yuan was a little surprised that Li Junwu chose to hide in such a place.

Although it is said that the great hide in the city, that is a world without extraordinary people. In such a place where mortals live, cultivators have no scruples. A strong man can pull you out with a glance.

On the contrary, the places where cultivators gather are relatively safer. Large brothels have formations to soundproof and avoid souls. Secondly, there may be iron plates hidden in the world that make those people afraid to use their minds to explore directly.

Confused in his heart, Xu Yuan jumped over the wooden ladder and came to the second floor.

The second floor is not very big. There is a corridor with more than a dozen guest rooms on both sides of the corridor. The lights in some rooms are still on, which can be seen through the oil paper pasted on the wooden doors.

Just as Xu Yuan was about to take a step, a low humming and singing came from the crack of the door of a lighted guest room next to him.

A strange look flashed in his eyes, and Xu Yuan casually glanced at the guest room with oil lamps.

Then,

he saw four or five figures through the crack of the door.

Four men and one woman.

Judging from the clothes scattered on the ground, the five people seemed to respect the woman.

Because the woman's clothes were made of silk, while the men's clothes were coarse linen.

"Heh"

After a light laugh and shaking his head, Xu Yuan took a quick glance and retracted his sight, and walked directly towards the guest house that Cangbei mentioned in the deep corridor.

The mortals who do business basically put their heads on their belts, not to mention that this is the border of Da Yan, and they may be exposed on the streets one day. Of course, they have to enjoy themselves in time, and secular etiquette can't restrain them at all.

After traveling so far, he has long been accustomed to it.

Thinking about this in his heart, Xu Yuan has already arrived at the door of a guest room.

The wooden door of this room was tightly closed, with no cracks in the door, and no light came through the oil paper on the door and windows. The guests inside seemed to have already rested.

Xu Yuan could hear the heartbeat of the guests in the room with his powerful hearing, but he inexplicably noticed a sense of disharmony.

After a moment of thought,

in the plain and dark corridor, Xu Yuan glanced at the room next door.

That's right.

The heartbeat in this room is exactly the same as that in the next room.

It's synchronized like a one-to-one replica.

Li Junwu's magic?

No wonder this guy lives here, he really has something.

Thinking in his heart, Xu Yuan casually took out a dagger with a blade as thin as a cicada's wing from the Xumi Ring and inserted it into the gatehouse. He pried it upwards and opened the door panel of the other door.

"Zhi Ma——"

Pushing open the door and looking at the scene inside, Xu Yuan slightly curled the corners of his lips.

Sure enough, unlike the darkness just now, the oil lamp on the table in the room was on, emitting a bright flame.

The layout of the room was similar to what Xu Yuan had imagined.

A wooden bed with a gauze curtain, two chairs, a wardrobe, an oil lamp and a kettle and porcelain cup were placed on the table, simple but complete.

However,

Xu Yuan did not see Li Junwu.

Subconsciously glancing at the wooden bed with the curtains closed, Xu Yuan took a step towards the room with a faint smile while looking out of his spiritual vision.

And the moment he stepped into the room,

"Puff!"

In the quiet of the night,

"Buzz——"

A sword chant resounded in the guest room, but the outside was still quiet. A long sword suddenly broke the oil paper on the wooden door and stabbed straight at Xu Yuan's head!

"." Xu Yuan.

In this moment,

a hurricane quietly lifted Xu Yuan's black hair that had not been tied up, and the fluorescence on the blade also dissipated instantly.

With two fingers stuck on the suddenly thrusting sword, Xu Yuan glanced at the hidden behind the wooden door with some amusement:

"No, we haven't seen each other for so long, and you're playing such a big game when you meet?"

"Jia Yi!"

Li Junwu's familiar voice sounded: "Get started, we've been deceived, get ready to escape!"

After the words fell,

a terrifying desolate atmosphere enveloped Xu Yuan, and in this atmosphere, he vaguely saw a pair of wolf eyes flashing with cold light.

Desert Lin Wolf.

"."Xu Yuan.

After a short moment of daze, Xu Yuan suddenly took a breath of cold air.

Oh no, he's still wearing a human skin mask.

Thoughts flashed through his mind, and Xu Yuan had no time to think about it.

Step on the Void Slash!

The figure instantly disappeared from the spot, and reappeared. Xu Yuan had briefly escaped the lock of the breath from the Lin Wolf, and his figure also came behind Li Junwu.

Li Junwu seemed to sense this as well. His pupils shrank suddenly. He turned around and kicked towards Xu Yuan with a whip kick. With a sound of breaking through the air, a residual image was drawn in the air.

A flash of blood flashed in Xu Yuan's pupils. A deadly blood appeared on his palm. He grabbed Li Junwu's ankle and pulled back hard while turning sideways.

In an instant, Li Junwu lost balance due to the force. He staggered and fell forward. His pair of naked slender legs stretched out in the air.

Biting the corner of his lips, Li Junwu looked at the unfamiliar face in front of him. His hand holding the sword directly slashed out, but was grabbed by the wrist by the man in front of him.

Staring closely at the beautiful and beautiful face of this good-looking brother who was gritting his teeth, Xu Yuan's eyes were full of amusement. He switched to his original voice and said with a smile:

“No, sister, it’s been such a long time since we last met, how could you not recognize me?”
