Chapter 96 The speaker has no intention, the listener has intention
Keng!
Chu Yunqiao decisively drew out the Water-Breaking Sword, and scanned the surroundings vigilantly, but found no one else. Suddenly, he heard the sound of the door opening on the second floor, and quickly stepped onto the stairs and rushed to the source of the sound.
When the old beggar and the Miao girl heard the sound of drawing a sword, they immediately poked their heads out of a certain wing nervously and looked at the stairs. When they saw Chu Yunqiao coming with a sword, they all relaxed.
Chu Yunqiao stood still in front of the two of them, glanced at the side room, looked at the old beggar and the Miao girl up and down, put away the Water-Breaking Sword, frowned slightly, and asked bluntly, "Why did you kill that waiter?"
?”
"What do you mean..." the Miao girl said with a confused look, "The waiter is dead?"
Chu Yunqiao frowned a little deeper and said suspiciously, "You don't know?"
"We have been staying here all this time," the Miao girl immediately defended. "From the time you went out with those military masters to the time you came back alone, it was only a few dozen breaths. Even if we wanted to kill him, it was too late."
The old beggar on the side immediately echoed, "That's right, he won't kneel there and let us kill him..."
"In fact, the waiter knelt on the ground and let himself be killed. In other words, he fought back, but it still had no effect at all. In the end, he still knelt down and died." Chu Yunqiao pondered for a moment and whispered, "Forget it.
, now is not the time to discuss this, I came back to pass on a few words to my husband."
"What are you talking about?" the old beggar and the Miao girl asked in unison.
"People outside the city want to enter the city, and people in the city want to go out of the city. It is easier to enter the city than to leave the city. Only he can help you get out of the city in Baima Pass, and only he can help you completely get rid of the pursuit of the officers and soldiers and restore your innocence...
..." Chu Yunqiao paused, then said the next words in a deliberately emphatic tone, "The premise is that you are worthy of his help and willing to pay a price that satisfies him."
The old beggar slapped his mouth and said indifferently, "I'm just an old beggar. I have no money and no power. I'm probably not worthy of his help. Fortunately, I'm not in a hurry to leave the city..."
"My husband said, you'd better not count on those seven followers of yours. This little girl from Miaojiang cannot protect you. All the scheming is... nonsense in the face of absolute strength!" Chu Yunqiao imitated Shen Xiaojia.
After speaking in a tone of voice, he shrugged and said, "He said it, and it doesn't matter to me if it doesn't sound good... He knows that you are extraordinary. Although he doesn't know how you are extraordinary, at least he knows that you are someone worthy of his help.
, otherwise he wouldn’t let me come back and say these words.”
The old beggar was stunned for a moment. He stood there with a gloomy expression on his face, stroking his beard and thinking.
The Miao girl pouted and said, "He was making noises down there just now, and you guys didn't have much communication. Why did he say these words to you? Could it be that they were long-lost words transmitted from outside?"
"Sometimes a look is worth a thousand words," Chu Yunqiao said lightly, "He is my husband, and I understand him."
The Miao girl rolled her eyes, glanced at the scene downstairs, and lowered her voice, "Is there anyone else at the door?"
Chu Yunqiao replied softly, "They are just two ordinary soldiers, so there is no need to be nervous... However, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time, not only because the waiter is dead, but also because my husband was not tricked to death. There will be many people here soon, more than that one."
Mao Xuewang is a more difficult person to deal with, so you'd better leave as soon as possible."
"Is this what he told you with his eyes?" the Miao girl murmured, "Isn't this even more powerful than my Tongxin Gu..."
"That's what I guessed," Chu Yunqiao exhaled a long breath and said softly, "No matter what, meeting you is fate. Let me remind you one last thing. My husband has a cold face and a warm heart. If you are
After finishing the things you want to do in the city, come to Hongchen Inn before three quarters tomorrow to find us. Even if you can't afford the price, just say a few nice words and he can take you out of the city together."
"I don't have anything to do, I just came in to take a rest and get some news..." the Miao girl smiled sweetly, "I can go to the Hongchen Inn with you, sister, now, but the two military masters outside...
"
"I'll go out and leave with them later. Then you can come out and follow me from a distance." Chu Yunqiao turned to look at the old beggar and said calmly, "Old sir, do you want to come with me?"
"I'll forget it," the old beggar sighed and said slowly, "Your husband is indeed very capable, but he is also very good at lying... Besides, I am a bad old man and I have nothing to give him. I don't want to be in vain."
I owe him a favor. If I can't leave the city, I won't go out. It's the same wherever I go to beg for food."
Chu Yunqiao gave the old beggar a meaningful look, raised a slight smile at the corner of his mouth and said, "It seems that the old gentleman has very important things to do in the city, so I won't force it..." Turned around and walked in
In another side room, he picked up a package and slung it on his shoulder. He cupped his hands to the old beggar and said, "Goodbye... By the way, my husband has one last word."
The old beggar narrowed his eyes and said, "What?"
"He guessed that you didn't want to owe him a favor, but he said that you already owed him a pot of meat, and the debt would have to be paid back sooner or later..." Chu Yunqiao finished explaining Shen Xiaojia's thoughts with a smile like a flower, and then walked quickly to the inn.
When I was about to open the door and leave, I suddenly heard some strange noises outside the door. I immediately tightened my right hand holding the Shuishui Sword, ready to draw the sword at any time.
There was an inn dozens of steps away to the right of the door. Ji Bu was about to jump into the courtyard wall, when a small stone flew from nowhere and shattered the green tiles of the courtyard wall above his head. He was shocked.
Ji Bu stiffened, turned to look at the two soldiers guarding the door of the inn, smiled awkwardly, and slowly stepped back from the courtyard wall.
The two soldiers shouted sharply, pulled out their sabers, and rushed towards Ji Bu.
Ji Bu cursed lowly, then ran away without hesitation and disappeared into the dark night.
Behind a locust tree diagonally opposite the inn, Xiaozhi clapped her hands excitedly and said, "This is called fast, accurate and ruthless! I'll beat you to death with a stick, let's see if you still dare to tie me up with an iron chain..." Lean out
He glanced left and right, and was about to leave, but suddenly caught a glimpse of the beautiful figure at the door of the inn. He quickly stopped, turned and walked to the door of the inn, and said in surprise, "Why are you here?"
Chu Yunqiao was startled by the sudden appearance of Xiaozhi, and almost pulled out the Water-Breaking Sword. After taking a closer look at Xiaozhi's face, he relaxed, his eyes narrowed into two crescent moons, and he touched Xiaozhi's head and said
, "I feel relieved to see that you are okay. A few days ago, Xiao A was still talking to me about you, saying that you are a little girl living outside and don't know how you are doing..."
"Will he care about me? Bah! I'm afraid I've been so fascinated by you, a vixen, that I don't even know what his parents are called. Look at you, you have a short haircut like him, you are really shameless... ..." Xiaozhi pouted her little mouth and sarcastically said, then suddenly remembered something and asked urgently, "Wait! You are here, does that mean Shen Xiaojia is also here?"
Chu Yunqiao was startled for a moment and wondered, "What's wrong? Can't we be here?"
"Of course not!"
"Why... everything in Yuecheng is settled, but Siniang and the others were taken to Kyoto by Shen Qi's people. Xiaojia said that they probably took this route..."
Xiaozhi glanced at the right side of the street and found that Ji Bu ran back with a large group of soldiers. He hurriedly interrupted Chu Yunqiao, "That's not what I meant... I don't have time to explain it to you now. Anyway, you Tell Shen Xiaojia to leave Baima Pass as soon as possible. Even if you can't get out for a while, you should try not to show your head in Baima Pass! You must be low-key, low-key, and low-key!"
After saying that, Xiaozhi suddenly raised her right hand, patted her chest, and instantly spurted out a mouthful of blood. She pretended to be seriously injured and flew backwards. She got up from the ground with difficulty and looked weakly at Ji Bu, who was running back. With a pale face, he said, "Where did you pick this place? Why did you throw yourself into a trap...Ah! I can't do it anymore. That woman's attack was too harsh. I'm going to faint. I'm going to faint. You can't leave me alone." …”
Ji Bu blankly glanced at Xiaozhi who had crashed into his arms, and then glanced hatefully at Chu Yunqiao who looked confused. He immediately carried Xiaozhi on his shoulders and led a group of soldiers to run away.
As the saying goes, the speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.
