Huaxing made a quick move, but did not really engage in a fierce battle with the opponent. They even just had a tentative fight with each other. After a few rounds, Huaxing and his men quickly retreated.
Even after such a brief encounter, several houses outside the inn were damaged. Fortunately, the main building of the inn was still intact.
In the lobby of the inn, Captain Lin looked coldly at the direction in which the painting was retreating, with a hint of fear flashing through his eyes.
The old man who was responsible for receiving Rouge before hesitated and said, "Sir, who was that person just now? You seem to know him."
"Humph" a breath came out of his nose, and Captain Lin said in a deep voice: "The second son of the Five Tigers, the painter, I'm afraid there are not many people in the Xuanwu Empire who don't know about him, but this person is very low-key, and the Xuanwu Empire has really seen him
Not many people got past him. Unexpectedly, when the big tree like the painter fell down, so many monkeys escaped."
The old man was obviously shocked. How could he have never heard of the existence of the painter Wuhu? He just didn't expect that the person who just took action was the painter's painting.
"Then what was the purpose of his coming here just now? Could it be that the painter has discovered that we were responsible for the attack the night before?" The old man hesitated for a moment, then immediately thought of something and said hurriedly.
Captain Lin shook his head and said: "No, if it was because of what happened the night before, he couldn't have given up so easily. He probably just wanted to get a feel for us. Even if he was suspicious, he should be suspicious of the big shopkeeper's group, so what?
Will put doubt on my head.
Don’t forget, we have just entered the city, and nominally we are just the bodyguards of those two girls."
After listening to Captain Lin's analysis, the old man showed a hint of surprise and said: "But now that he has done this, I'm afraid we won't be able to stay here anymore. Now we have to find another place."
"Yes." Captain Lin nodded and said, "Our Mu family's property cannot be exposed for the time being. Let's pack up and leave." At this point, Captain Lin showed a sly smile and said, "I remember you.
You should know some of the artist’s properties, let’s borrow them first.”
"If this is the case, the big shopkeeper..."
Before the old man finished speaking, Captain Lin interrupted directly and said: "He was still the big shopkeeper before, but that may not be the case in the future. Don't forget that our Mu family also has members of the elders. This broad city is the best way for us to turn around.
If you get an opportunity, just keep your eyes open and watch."
Seeing Captain Lin's solemn look, a look of worry flashed across the old man's face, but he didn't say anything more, nodded and slowly backed away.
…
"Master, why don't you send someone to break into the inn to investigate?" An old voice sounded in the empty hall, and then an old man walked out of the shadows.
Hua Xing stood up with a smile, made an invitation gesture, and said at the same time: "Mr. Yue seems to be very interested in them, but according to my observation, those people should not belong to the Yao family, but I seem to feel a little familiar from them.
The smell, I wonder if Mr. Yue can explain it to me?"
The old man was stunned for a moment, his cloudy old eyes couldn't help but take a deep look at the painting, and then he slowly walked to an empty seat and sat down.
Not only is this old man very strange every time he appears, but even when he is sitting there now, it feels like his body is floating on the chair, as if his butt is not touching the chair at all.
"I have long heard that among the five tiger painters, the two tigers are not only the most powerful in painting, but also have the scheming and vision that few others can match. It seems that they are even more famous after meeting today!"
"Haha" he laughed loudly, and Hua Xing said politely: "Mr. Yue, please don't make fun of me as a junior. Since you know the details of the other party, why do you want me to investigate? We painters don't want to mess with the trees now."
enemy."
"Hey, the master of the Huaxing family has misunderstood. I don't know the details of the people in the inn. At most, I only know that the girl from the Yao family and the girl from the Yao family are probably under house arrest by them. On the contrary, I am very curious.
Who dares to be so bold and take action against important figures from the Yao family and the Yao family in the Xuanwu Empire?"
Hua Xing stared at the old man for a while, seeming to judge whether what the other party said was true or false. After a while, he said: "I have an intuition that these people should belong to a force in the Xuanwu Empire. The reason why I have this
It feels like it’s mainly because of the other person’s…”
"Kung Fu and fighting methods!"
Just when Hua Xing didn't know how to describe it, the old man suddenly spoke. After the old man reminded Hua Xing, Hua Xing's whole body suddenly became enlightened. He couldn't help but give a light slap and said: "Look! I didn't expect that Mr. Yue could see so thoroughly.
He also said he didn’t know the other party’s details.”
The old man shook his head slightly and said: "There are two possibilities for the origin of these people, but I can't be sure."
As he spoke, the old man first pointed at Hua Xing, and then pointed at himself. This seemingly meaningless action made Hua Xing understand something, and his eyes gradually narrowed.
…
A beautiful silhouette passed quickly across the roof and wall, making it difficult for ordinary warriors to catch traces of the opponent. The silhouette paused briefly on a roof, and then rushed straight down like a civet cat.
Just when she was about to hit the wall, she reached out and gently grabbed Dai Yi, and her body fell to the ground as light and silent as a feather.
"How are you doing? Have you seen Lord Feng City?" As soon as the woman landed, a man came out from the corner and asked anxiously.
Hearing the words "Wind City Lord", the pretty woman trembled slightly. She couldn't help but look up at the man in surprise and said, "What are you talking about? Feng City Lord was among the group of people just now!" The woman was exactly that.
Ikari, of course that man is Tang Bin.
Tang Bin slowly took out a formation jade from his arms, placed it in the palm of his hand and injected spiritual energy into it, and then runes slowly emerged.
After seeing the light released by those many runes, Ikari was slightly happy at first, then she stamped her feet angrily and said: "It's not that damn Hua Su who can't even keep up with me. If I
It’s not that I’m worried that Hua Su will find out that I’m following you at the end, or that I’ll lose the trace of the city lord.”
"Oh, you and Huasu have both disappeared. This matter is a bit strange. But since Feng City Lord can keep this array of jade, it means that everything is fine with him now. With the City Lord's ability and mind, it is quite strange.
There is no need for us to worry too much." Tang Bin's mentality was obviously much better than that of Ikari, and he said comfortingly.
Rolling her eyes, Ikari said angrily: "Don't I know that the city lord has great powers, but I am really worried about losing contact right now."
At this point, Ikari suddenly noticed the formation jade that Tang Bin had been dragging, and also used spiritual energy to maintain the formation. She thought with a thought: "Could this formation be left to us by the city lord?"
message?"
"It's improved a bit!" Tang Bin praised with a smile, and continued: "You and I can judge that this is the formation jade left by the city lord through the aura properties released from it. However, I have carefully observed it before, and the characters in it are
It’s not any formation, and even the runes cannot be combined together at all.”
This time, Ikari reacted faster. Almost immediately after Tang Bin finished speaking, she said: "You mean, this is the message left for us by the Lord of the City."
Nodding, Tang Bin pointed at the scattered runes and said, "Look at some of these runes, do they look familiar?"
After carefully identifying it, Ikari's eyes suddenly lit up and she said: "The middle layer of runes combined together is a map, a map of Kuocheng, and it is the incomplete map he got after searching the memories of the painter and warrior."
Tang Bin continued: "That map is exactly what the Lord of Feng City thought about. If this formation jade is picked up by others, I am afraid that even if we try hard, we will not be able to see through the secrets. Only we can understand it if we get it."
."
"But this map seems to have some differences, right here!" As she said that, Ikari raised her finger and pointed at one of the runes.
Tang Bin smiled and said: "It seems that following the Lord of Feng City, you have become much more careful. Yes, this rune mark is very special. Although it is not very obvious, it is somewhat different from the original map.
"
Before Ikari could speak, Tang Bin continued: "Remember just now that we felt that there were strong men in the cultivation stage fighting?"
"Could it be, is that that place?"
Tang Bin nodded and said: "That's right. The place where the strong men in the cultivation stage fought before was exactly that place, and I also saw a person there. Can you guess who that person is?"
Looking at Tang Bin with a smile on his face, Ikari pondered for a few breaths and suddenly said: "Amber!"
"Haha, I didn't expect that the Lord of Feng City would find Amber one step ahead of us, and I also discovered that the people who were with Amber were Duan Yueyao and Yao who were together at the city gate before..."
"Yao Qiu'er!"
"Yes, they are the people who entered the city with those two girls. Amber is with those people at the moment. You can't believe it!"
"Hu Bo and the city lord pretended to be members of the Lin family. Now the city lord has successfully sneaked in, but Amber has fallen into the hands of another group of people. This group of people happened to be the same group of people who controlled the two girls. I...I
I feel like my brain is a little exhausted." Ikari knocked her head and said with some annoyance.
"There should be some hidden secrets in this. We definitely don't have a clue if we make such random guesses. However, since the Lord of the City left this formation jade, he asked us to get in touch with Amber as soon as possible. I believe he should have the answers we need."
She was still a little confused at first, but after listening to Tang Bin's words, Ikari suddenly remembered something and said excitedly: "Sound Transmission Stone."
"That's right, the city lord and Amber should have already communicated using the sound transmission stone. Even though the city lord can't be found now, it's the same if he can contact Amber first."
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go quickly!" Ikari said and already stood up.
"There is progress in every aspect, but my quick temper is still the same."
Tang Bin murmured with a wry smile, and while his spiritual energy was running, he chased after Ikari and left quickly.
