Chapter 373

Muttering a few words, the man felt bored and simply shut up.

He walked around slowly with his head down and his hands behind his back for a few rounds, making sure there were no living creatures on the ground. Then he lost interest and turned to walk towards the town.

"Xu Zhenjun, hehe... hehe... you made it look like the real thing, interesting, really interesting."

"The Bu Tian Bao Jing has not been seen for decades, but it has been exposed several times in just half a year. You can't fool a fool like this. And that fat pig hiding in Shu chose to come to Beijing at this time."

"Coincidence? I think there is an ulterior motive."

The man muttered silently as he walked. Although he kept going into the dense forest, his speed did not slow down at all. In a flash, he had walked very far away.

There were layers of dead leaves on the ground, and the branches and leaves of the trees were lush and green. What was strange was that the man walked quickly without making any noise, without getting a leaf or a speck of dust.

Under the moonlight, the town was already dimly visible. He looked up a few times, suddenly smiled, and sighed to himself: "What a big show. If I hadn't had something important to do, I would have put on my costume, painted my face, and went on stage to sing a few songs. What a pity, what a pity!"

"But it's also fun to calm down and watch how other roles sing."

"I've seen all the right and wrong, and I've heard the truth and falsehood! The good show, let's start!"

On the other side, Zhao Jue and the other two were tired all night and were eager to rest. Naturally, their speed would not be too slow. In just over two hours, they had arrived outside the town at the north slope of the mountain.

He Miaocong bowed and smiled, "Thank you, senior and Lord Zhao. Since we have arrived, I won't bother you too much. Let's say goodbye now."

"Okay." They had already arrived at the place, so Zhao Jue didn't try to keep them and agreed straightforwardly.

The two bowed to each other and said goodbye, and then went their separate ways.

"Let's go. We've been tired all night, so we need to rest well." Zhao Jue said tiredly.

"Yeah." Zhuque nodded and walked in front to lead the way.

Just like the town in front of the mountain, you can clearly sense several waves of true energy before you enter. Careful identification shows that most of them are second-grade and third-grade, and there are very few first-grade people, only one or two.

Based on this estimate, the quality and quantity of the people in this town are not as good as the previous one. For Zhao Jue, it's a good thing.

Taking advantage of the thick night, the two of them kept walking and stopped in front of an inn. With Zhuque leading the way, it was naturally unobstructed. They walked in and went upstairs.

It was still a room facing the street. When they pushed open the door and went in, Baihu and Liu Zhiyuan were still awake, each holding a hot tea and sipping it carefully.

When they saw Zhao Jue pushing the door in, they both flashed with joy on their faces and stood up to greet him.

"Oh, brother Zhao! It feels like a long time since we last met. I wonder if you had a smooth journey?" Liu Zhiyuan teased.

Baihu also laughed, "Old Nine, nothing happened, right?"

"Oh, let's not talk about that, let's not talk about that." Zhao waved his hand and pulled a chair to sit down.

After gulping down a few sips of tea, he said with lingering fear: "The mountain is in a precarious situation. If Zhuque hadn't come in time, he would have died on the mountain."

Baihu's face changed, "Oh, I don't know what's going on recently? Jiangnan is really... lively."

Without any extra sighs, Zhao asked directly: "Has there been a reply from the capital?"

"Someone will come, but..." Zhuque closed the door and sat next to Zhao and whispered.

"But what?"

Putting down the teacup, Baihu shrugged and said: "The reply from the capital did say that someone would come, but I don't know who specifically to ask to come."

Don't know the specific person? This is nonsense! If the person who came was Captain Jiang, why would he go to the capital?

Without waiting for Zhao to speak, Baihu continued with a smile: "But fortunately, the letter said that the person who came was a junior master."

"Junior master." Zhao murmured in a low voice.

That's reasonable.

"When will it arrive?"

"Not sure." Baihu shook his head, his face full of helplessness.

The reply above only said that there would be support, but did not mention when it would arrive. So, he really didn't know.

But when he saw Zhao's face full of sorrow, he still spoke to make up for it: "Don't worry too much, even if it comes from the capital, it won't take much time, maybe it will arrive tomorrow."

Zhao naturally didn't take this child's words seriously, and shook his head and smiled without saying anything more.

He looked up at the moonlight outside the window and sighed: "I hope so."

"I'm hungry, call a table of food in."

"Okay." Baihu got up and went out.

It didn't take long before the food was brought in one by one. Zhao stretched his body, got up and sat over, grabbing chopsticks and eating heartily.

In less than a quarter of an hour, he ate all the food on the table. He breathed a sigh of relief, took the hot tea brought by Zhuque, and digested the food leisurely.

The three of them sat quietly and drank tea without disturbing him. When Zhao put down the teacup, Baihu asked, "When are we leaving?"

"Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow." Zhao tapped the teacup with his fingertips and frowned.

After thinking for a while, he continued to explain, "Jiangnan is not peaceful. We have to leave early, so as not to get stuck in it and find it difficult to get out."

The three of them had also heard about the rumors circulating in the town recently. Although the three of them believed that most of them were false, some people doubted it, and some people believed it. It is an objective fact that Jiangnan is not peaceful, and it is not a bad thing to leave early.

Therefore, the three of them had no objection.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, interrupting the four people's thoughts. Zhao's expression changed and he touched the handle of the knife; Liu Zhiyuan stood up quickly and hid behind the screen; Bai Hu and Suzaku looked at each other, got up and walked lightly to the door, lining up on the left and right.

The two looked at each other and nodded. Bai Hu understood the idea, slowly put his hand on the door latch, and asked softly toward the door: "Who is it?"

The knocking on the door stopped, and then a calm voice came, "People from the capital."

"Why are you here?"

The voice outside the door responded softly, "Visiting friends."

Hearing this, Bai Hu's vigilance disappeared, but out of caution, he continued to ask: "Who is your friend?"

The response came quickly, "The fifth master of the Lu family."

The two of them no longer had any doubts, breathed a long sigh of relief, and opened the door.

The person who came was thin and handsome, dressed in black from head to toe. He was wearing a big bamboo hat with water droplets still on it, and he was holding a fan that looked valuable.

Seeing the white tiger and the Suzaku, the visitor laughed and joked cheerfully: "How is it? You didn't expect it was me who came, right? Are you surprised or surprised?"

After closing the door, Bai Hu smiled bitterly and stepped aside, while Suzaku was more reserved and did not even dare to raise his head.

Seeing their appearance, the visitor took off the bamboo hat on his head and said, "What's wrong? You don't want me to come? Just be satisfied. If I hadn't asked for orders frequently, the person who came would be the father-in-law in the palace, and it would be even harder to serve." !”
