Chapter 190 Bon Voyage
The long night is not over yet, before dawn.
Baisu Town has completely quieted down. Only the shouts of some soldiers can be heard in restaurants far away.
In the room on the second floor of the inn, Ye Jingtang sat cross-legged on the bed, using the method of the Jade Bone Dragon Elephant Diagram to temper his muscles and bones, while his ears paid attention to the surrounding disturbances.
After an unknown length of silence, the sound of flying birds sounded outside the inn's window, followed by the soft sound of claws kicking on the window.
Da da da~~
Ye Jingtang opened his eyes, stood up with a long knife, walked to the window and opened it, a white ball got in, landed on the bed and fell straight back, turning into a claws pointing upwards:
"grumble……"
Ye Jingtang knew that Bird had a hard time flying all night, so he came to the bed and sat down. He picked up Bird and squatted on his lap and smoothed his hair:
"Have you found the place?"
"Chiji..."
Birds can distinguish between southeast, northwest and approximate distance. Ye Jingtang learned that Bai Siming went to a place more than two hundred miles northwest, so he took out a map and searched according to the direction. It was obvious that the power of Qihuang Villa was near Heyuan County, Wuzhou. scope.
Qihuang Villa is not very powerful, and Heyuan County is located on an important transportation road, so there is basically no possibility that King Wu is hiding in it.
Bai Siming was not injured. He was probably temporarily settling down somewhere to do some work. If he wanted to keep clues, he must go there as soon as possible...
But Master Xuanji hasn’t woken up yet…
Thinking of this, Ye Jingtang frowned, looked back at the silent next door, put the bird on the pillow, stood up and walked out of the door.
There were no outsiders in the small inn, and the corridor on the second floor was dark.
Ye Jingtang listened attentively at the door. Even the breathing inside was barely audible. Unable to determine the situation, he opened the door.
In the not-so-large room, the red candles in the lampstand had long since burned out, leaving a pool of candle tears.
The acacia sword, which had been put into a white scabbard, was lying flat on the dressing table, with a purse, a small gourd and other personal items beside it.
Between the curtains, the real person Xuanji, whose age could not be seen, was wearing a snow-white dress, lying quietly on the pillow, with a thin quilt covering her chest. The flush on her face had subsided, her expression was peaceful, and her hands were folded on her waist, sleeping in an upright posture.
Xuanji's appearance and manners are obviously very quiet and elegant, and her appearance can be called a beauty, but the indifferent expression that naturally appears on her face always gives people the feeling of 'I don't care about anything, so I can do anything' , which makes people feel that they are not easy to mess with at first glance...
Ye Jingtang knew that he was a respected imperial master and Taoist master of the current dynasty. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was a leader of the righteous way. Naturally, he would not judge people by their appearance and determine their character based on their feelings.
After taking a closer look and seeing that the woman was motionless, Ye Jingtang slowly came to the bed and wanted to check her pulse to check her physical condition.
As a result, he stretched out his right hand, and before it touched his wrist, he found a pair of bright black eyes opening silently in front of his eyes, looking at him.
"..."
Their eyes met, and the room was quiet for a moment.
Master Xuanji was awakened from her sleep, her eyes were confused for a moment, and then the experience before she lost consciousness came into her mind:
Yesterday, she was hit by the blood condensation of the Beiliang Pirate Saint, which was really powerful. While she was extracting the poison, this handsome agent broke in, so she had to take the best option...
He chased her, but she ran away, but she didn't escape. She showed off her violence at a faster pace, and even poisoned the blood...
She felt that the agent was not in danger, so she suppressed the poison first. As a result, this guy came over and gave her a shot in the butt...
Thinking of this, Xuanji's peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a dangerous look.
? !
Ye Jingtang secretly thought that something was wrong, and just as he was about to stop and move away, he found that Xuanji's left hand, which was folded at his waist, popped out like lightning and clasped his right wrist.
Ye Jingtang knew how powerful the opponent was. If he overreacted when he was awakened, his arm might be broken. He immediately moved his hand and tried to grab the opponent's wrist.
When Master Xuanji saw that this daring young agent dared to compete with her, a trace of amusement flashed in his eyes. He immediately jumped up and jerked his left hand at the same time, hoping to use his superb skills to make the young agent understand. What is the meaning of heaven and earth?
The scene that Xuanji imagined was probably - she, dressed in white as snow, jumped up from the bed, and at the same time pulled Ye Jingtang towards the bed. The moment she jumped over Ye Jingtang, she wrapped Ye Jingtang into a caterpillar with a thin quilt. , fell on the bed.
She landed gracefully and smoothly picked up the wine gourd on the dressing table and drank, leaving Ye Jingtang with an unparalleled and elegant back.
This was a good idea, but as soon as Master Xuanji moved, he found that the force of the blood condensation was quite strong. His body had not fully recovered, and the blood and qi were not flowing smoothly, which caused the force of the bounce to be slightly smaller.
However, Ye Jingtang raised her energy much faster than a martial artist of the same level, so much so that her reflexes could even keep up with hers. She pulled hard, and Ye Jingtang simultaneously dug his feet into the ground, trying to stabilize his body.
The result was that Master Xuanji didn't play the ball, and Ye Jingtang didn't stop either. They started running in both directions.
Ye Jingtang was pulled down by the terrifying explosive power of Master Xuanji and fell directly onto the bed. He thought that Master Xuanji was going to push him down on the bed. At first, he didn't want to resist, but he was just ready to say:
"Wait a minute, Heroine!"
But he soon discovered that the woman in white in front of him didn't think so. After pulling hard, her figure actually hit him sideways, and the height was not high enough to go over his head.
His posture looked like he was about to kill him with a watermelon.
(⊙_⊙)? !
Bang~
There was a muffled sound of bodies colliding in the silent room, and then it fell into dead silence.
Ye Jingtang was pulled down to the bed, and was knocked back two steps before he could stabilize his body, raised his arms, and caught the beauty in white who didn't know what she was doing.
Xuanji bumped into Ye Jingtang and fell down. Her back was supported by her right arm, and her legs were supported by her left arm. She fell into Ye Jingtang's arms in a standard princess hug, with her indifferent eyes that were both good and evil. His eyes twitched slightly.
!
However, Xuanji's psychological quality was extremely strong. She remained calm and looked at the Night Terror Hall indifferently, with the attitude of 'that's what she had planned' to cover up the small mistake.
Ye Jingtang was stunned when he saw the gesture of embracing each other. The words "wait a moment, heroine" that he originally blurted out now turned into:
"Girl, please respect yourself! So what... rescuing you yesterday was a normal official duty. It's natural for you to want to thank me, but... I'm not a casual person, you..."
With that said, he quickly put Master Xuanji back on the bed.
Master Xuanji couldn't say that he was out of power and failed, so he didn't explain it. He propped up the side of his face with his hands on the bed and made a half-smiling look:
"While she was unconscious, you used a concealed weapon to attack her three ways. How dare you say that you are not casual?"
"..."
Ye Jingtang really couldn't imagine that this demonic woman in white was actually the emperor's master in the Wei dynasty, his own master.
If he hadn't known her identity and said that she was a demon sect who took pleasure in harming knights, he probably wouldn't have the slightest suspicion.
"I showed my waistband for a routine inspection, but the girl resisted arrest without revealing her identity. When I wasn't sure of the details, I used gold needles to uniform her and followed the procedures..."
Master Xuanji narrowed her eyes slightly: "Young Master, do you think I am a very reasonable woman? If I act in accordance with the law, I will not cause trouble for you?"
Judging from these few words, Ye Jingtang felt that this girl was indeed unreasonable. He said seriously:
"I think I have a clear conscience. If the girl has a grudge, I can't do anything about it. And for your injury, I asked the female doctor in the town to help treat your injury. I have been staying in the next room. If the girl hadn't jumped into my arms just now, , I will not cause any offense..."
Master Xuanji carefully observed Ye Jingtang's expression, and felt that he was not lying, so he stood up and put on her plum blossom embroidered shoes, took the small wine gourd on the dressing table, brought it to her red lips and took a sip.
Gulu~
As the strong drink entered his throat, more memories of yesterday flooded into his mind.
After the young detective gave her an injection, she touched him and saw that there was only a focus on doing things impartially and without any malice in the other person's eyes, so she no longer tensed her heartstrings...
Although she lowered her guard, her instincts from practicing martial arts for many years were still there. Whether she was seriously injured and passed out, or was drunk, her instincts would wake her up when she sensed danger; just like when the young police officer approached and touched her wrist, she I woke up right then...
She seemed to vaguely remember someone patting her face, and a woman's voice, and then she took off her clothes, rubbed her buttocks, and pulled out the needle...
She felt it all over her body, but did not wake up. She could only say that she subconsciously judged that she was in a very safe environment and did not need to forcefully wake up to resist...
Xuanji's state was like a hangover. She vaguely remembered something, but couldn't remember it clearly. After she felt that there was no big problem, she didn't think about it again. She put down the wine gourd and raised her hand slightly:
"Shazhou Lie Nu Chou, do you want a bite?"
Ye Jingtang's hometown is in Liangzhou, which is relatively close to Shazhou. I have heard of the name of this wine - this wine was originally called 'Burning Heart Knife'. It is soft in the mouth but has great stamina. No matter how chaste a woman is, she will have to lie down for a while after drinking one glass. Jun picks and picks, and men do the same, so they are nicknamed "the fierce woman is worried" and "the immortal is kneeling".
Because the price was astonishing and the output was rare, Ye Jingtang had indeed never drank it, but he had no idea what Master Xuanji would do next or where he could receive the wine.
"I'm on official business, so I can't drink. The news just came out that Chuan Chuan has returned. If the girl has recovered from her injury..."
Master Xuanji hung the wine gourd around her waist, came to the chair and sat down. She sat in a very quiet posture, raised her hand and poured tea slowly:
"You helped me pull out the golden needle, but you found out my identity?"
Ye Jingtang nodded and sat down opposite:
"I have a nightmare in the hall. I have admired the real person's name for a long time, and it is indeed extraordinary to see him today..."
Master Xuanji raised his finger slightly and interrupted his polite words:
"Young Master Ye, just call me Miss Shui'er. Master Ye, Taoist Priest or whatever, are too old-fashioned."
Ye Jingtang thought for a while and asked: "Miss Shui'er's martial arts skills are rarely rivaled in the world, but yesterday... I dare to ask, who knocked the girl unconscious yesterday? I am looking for the whereabouts of King Wu, and I don't know. How many powerful people do King Wu have under his command..."
"..."
Xuanji Zhenren felt that his invincible image was completely shattered in front of the young detective in front of him.
With the secret purpose, she searched for the Minglong Picture and pursued the Beiliang Thief Saint, but no one could know about it. But without a clear explanation, Ye Jingtang is responsible for tracing the whereabouts of King Wu. Facing a tyrannical person who can knock her down, she may not dare to enter Wu Mountain again.
Master Xuanji thought about it for a moment and explained casually:
"I was traveling down the mountain and passing by this place. I encountered a black snake that had been around for three hundred years. It had the image of a dragon that transformed into a dragon. In order to prevent disaster from affecting the people at the foot of the mountain, I chopped it with my sword and got a little bit of the snake's venom."
?
Ye Jingtang felt that this woman was probably too drunk, so he frowned and said:
"This matter is related to the safety of imperial officials. The girl explained it like this, I'm afraid..."
"Young Master, don't worry. This matter has nothing to do with King Wu. I hope that you will keep your mouth shut about my appearance in Wuzhou and don't spread it, otherwise..."
When Master Xuanji said this, he glanced at his waist:
"I hold grudges very much, and I will settle old and new grudges together. I'm afraid the young master will regret meeting me for the rest of his life."
To be honest, Ye Jingtang didn't want to see Master Xuanji for the second time, so he handed it over and said:
"Don't worry, girl, I will definitely keep my mouth shut."
After Xuanji took two sips of wine, a blush appeared on her cheeks. She missed her face several times in a row. Maybe she felt that her face was a little too much to hold on to. She didn't stay for long, so she stood up and took away the hat from Ye Jingtang. Buttoned on the head:
"When the sun rises and we are sober, we will leave. Even though we are separated by thousands of mountains, we are in the same clouds and rain. Meeting each other is fate, and we will meet again in the world."
When Ye Jingtang saw Xuanji's real person Wen Chucheng saying this, he stood up and raised his right hand slightly, thinking for a moment:
"Bon Voyage."
"?"
Seeing Ye Jingtang's posture, Master Xuanji thought he was going to show her both civil and military skills. Hearing these words, he was speechless. He picked up the Acacia sword and moved his body slightly, like a willow leaf in the wind, silently floating out of the window. The speed is extremely fast but silent, and the posture is as ethereal as an immortal.
A flash of admiration flashed in Ye Jingtang's eyes for Master Xuanji's extraordinary physical skills. Just as he was about to turn around, he suddenly heard another voice coming from outside:
Wow——
The sound of the roof being trampled down.
? ?
Ye Jingtang quickly turned around and went to the window to take a look, but saw a hole in the house not far away, and the tiles were falling down.
And the back of a white-clothed figure with fluttering fairy spirit rose and fell above the buildings, gradually moving away, as if nothing had happened.
Ye Jingtang opened his mouth. He wanted to comment a few words, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it. He only felt that if the top three of the Eight Chiefs were like this, then it seemed that he was not without confidence in fighting Xuanyuan Dynasty...
——
A moment later, outside the inn at the end of the street.
The light was white in the east, it was estimated to be only around five o'clock in the morning, and the street was quiet without a single soul.
Ye Jingtang led the horse to the outside of the inn. Seeing that the people in the inn had escaped from the war, he tied the horse to the stable, then hugged the sleeping piglet and jumped onto the second floor. floor window.
There was no light in the large room, and the spear was leaning against the canopy bed against the wall.
In order to facilitate observation, the curtains were not lowered, and the two women slept together on the bed with their clothes on.
Ning'er's combat power is slightly lower than that of Sanniang. She sleeps on the back. She stayed vigil last night. At this time, she is fast asleep with her hands folded on her waist. Her eyes are moving slightly and she looks like she is still dreaming. Her cold face is even a little nervous. I guess. Either she dreamed of being caught by Pingtian Cult Leader Hongxing cheating on her, or she dreamed of being caught by Master Xuanji and falling in love with someone else.
Sanniang was watching, lying on her side on the outside, playing with a flower and bird hairpin in her hand boredly.
When she noticed that he had come in from the window, Sanniang quickly put the hairpin into her sleeves. Ruxing blinked her eyes and made a "shh~" mouth gesture, indicating that Ning'er had just fallen asleep.
Luo Ning's alertness was not low. When there was movement in the room, she opened her eyes and then slightly raised her upper body:
"She left? Nothing happened?"
Ye Jingtang put the bird in the turned-over bamboo hat:
"Nothing happened. It's just that Master Xuanji is more... um... more down-to-earth than I thought. She doesn't have any airs of superiority at all, which is refreshing."
Luo Ning secretly breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back on the pillow again, with a hint of sleepiness in her beautiful peach eyes:
"She has always been casual, like a half-fairy, and mortals can't understand it. Don't underestimate her. She can wake up so quickly without any harm from the soul-leaving needle and a bunch of unknown poisons. Her skills are unfathomable, compared to Sanniang is dozens of times more powerful."
Pei Xiangjun was about to answer, but turned around after hearing the words:
"Master Xuanji is great, but you are not so great. What are you talking about?"
Luo Ning snorted lightly: "You rely on connections to survive in the world. Those who are reckless will always be thugs and will never become a tycoon."
Ye Jingtang came to the bed and sat down, stopped the two of them from quarreling, and said softly:
"Niaoniao came back just now and said that Bai Siming escaped to Heyuan County. How did you sleep?"
When Pei Xiangjun heard this, he knew that Ye Jingtang wanted to rush over without stopping, so he frowned and said:
"Heyuan County is more than two hundred miles away from here, and it's more than half a day's journey. You are not an iron man. You haven't slept since yesterday morning. What can you do now after chasing him? Are you confused and fighting with Bai Siming?"
Luo Ning also nodded: "Even if you run over now, it's already noon. Bai Siming should have run away long ago. You should rest first and recharge your batteries. There is no one who works all the time without sleep. Even if people can bear it, Ma and Even the birds can’t bear this kind of torture.”
Night Terror Hall had not slept for nearly twelve hours. He could resist, but it was impossible not to be tired. Seeing that the two girls did not sleep well, he gave up and turned around and said:
"That's alright, I'll take a nap, let's set off at noon, and get there early."
Seeing this, Pei Xiangjun stood up and put on his embroidered shoes. He grabbed Ye Jingtang and pressed him on the bed:
"You just sleep here and let her nurse you back. You don't know, but just now she was a little bit dishonest when she was sleeping. She thought I was you and moved her hands everywhere."
Luo Ning frowned: "Don't talk nonsense, when did I touch you?"
"Of course you don't know when you are asleep. Not only do you move your hands and feet, but you also exhale like a orchid and squeeze your legs. Eh~..."
After a few words of ridicule, Pei Xiangjun quickly ran out of the door and took all the birds away.
Ye Jingtang had a strange look in his eyes. He sat down next to him and asked:
"Ning'er, did you dream just now?"
Luo Ning did have a dream. The dream was about being caught by Xuanji Zhenren, who almost scared her to death. How could her legs be pinched.
"Don't listen to her nonsense. I never move when I sleep. It's not like you don't know."
Ye Jingtang shook his head and smiled, without asking any further questions, he leaned back on the pillow and closed his eyes.
?
Luo Ning thought that the little thief was going to touch the buns to check, and was about to turn her head to look like she was being forced. When she discovered that Ye Jingtang was sleeping honestly, her eyes were unavoidably surprised.
Luo Ning's lips moved, but without saying much, she took Ye Jingtang's hand and placed it on her bulging conscience.
"...?"
Ye Jingtang originally wanted to have a serious talk, but time seemed to be in a hurry, so after thinking about it, he turned over...
