Three hundred and ninetieth IX unexpected encounter (a)
After four days of traveling, Li Xin'an and his party finally arrived in Yizhou.
This is the largest and most prosperous city in Jiannan Road besides Chengdu, and it is also the place where Xueyitang took root and developed in Jiannan Road.
After entering the city gate, Murong Bai said goodbye to the four of them.
"Everyone, let's part ways for now. If the matter at Tianjian Tower is resolved early, or if news about Demonic Shadow Pavilion is discovered, be sure to send it to me!"
Li Xin'an smiled and said: "Don't worry, we can't bear to let go of such a hard worker like you. The matter in Tianjian Tower may not be difficult to solve. Come back early. You also know the mark of Blood Clothes Hall."
"Yes." Murong Bai nodded, "I'll go first."
Seeing Murong Bai disappearing into the crowd, Li Xin'an stretched and said, "Let's go find that boy Zhang Quan."
Before Li Xin'an left Chang'an, under Zhang Quan's arrangement, the personnel of the Blood Clothes Hall in Chang'an gradually withdrew from Chang'an and came to Yizhou to investigate the movements of the Demonic Shadow Pavilion.
"That guy said he wanted to help us, but he didn't even show his face, and I had to go find him myself. It's really hard for me."
Xiao Xuangan said: "After being delayed in Mianzhou for such a long time, how can Zhang Quan and the others not change their plans? I guess they can't get any news from us now, so they are running around in a hurry."
"That's right." Li Xin'an said, "Let's go and walk around along the street."
The four people led the horses and walked on Yizhou Street. Since leaving Chang'an, they first went to the grasslands and then to the Tianshan Mountains in the Western Regions. All they saw were rough natural colors. They had not seen such a prosperous scene for a long time. Although
It’s not as good as Chang’an, but it still has a unique flavor.
"Jiannan Road is close to Southern Xinjiang, so it has the characteristics of Southern Xinjiang. You can see people wearing Southern Xinjiang costumes everywhere on the streets." Li Xin'an said, "Yizhou is also a place I have always wanted to come to. I heard that there is a kind of
The delicacy is to dip scorpions into a pan and fry them. Do you want to find a restaurant to try it later?"
As soon as they heard it was fried scorpions, Xiao Xuangan and the other three were immediately uninterested. Ye Qinglan waved her hands repeatedly: "Brother Li, you can eat scorpions no matter what flavor you have."
"Don't underestimate scorpions. There is nothing to eat in the wild. You can't find wild fruits. Things like scorpions, locusts, and snails are the best way to fill your stomach."
Zhou Bian said: "It seems that you have eaten this thing before."
"No, this is what the old man in the Blood Clothes Hall told me. I have only eaten locusts, and that was five or six years ago when there was a locust plague in Guannai Road. The fields were starved to death. Some people couldn't survive, so they cut off the official rations. There was no way.
His Highness asked me to take people to deal with it, killing one to serve as a warning to others. I stayed on the Guannai Road for less than half a month. Wherever the locusts passed, they covered the sky and the sun, eating away. People had no food to eat, so they had to eat locusts. I
I ate it a few times and added some salt to it, and it was really delicious."
"Eh..." Ye Qinglan looked disgusted, "I thought eating rats in Lingnan was disgusting enough. It seems that the mountains are higher than the others."
Li Xin'an smiled and said, "What are mice? They are good things in the days when they can't survive. I have seen people eating bark, grass roots, and Guanyin soil, and they were still alive. They cut open the stomach and it was all that
Plant something. In a year of great calamity, weeds are the ultimate delicacy.”
He did not continue talking. Now is the time to go shopping and enjoy life. It would be too disappointing to say this.
"On the stone wall in front, is that the symbol of the Blood Clothes Hall?" Zhou Bian pointed his eyes at the wall in front of him and pursed his lips.
Li Xin'an walked slowly over and found out that this was a mark left by Xueyitang, indicating the direction to the south.
"This is not a mark that guides the entrance of the Blood Clothes Hall. It is a short mark left during the mission, which means that the target is moving south."
Li Xin'an frowned: "It seems that this is still a difficult task, leaving marks along the way. What kind of business did they take on?"
"Go over and take a look?" Xiao Xuangan asked.
Li Xin'an nodded slowly: "Of course, if we can't find the entrance, it's also good to find the disciples who are performing the task. Moreover, now is the critical moment to deal with the Demonic Shadow Pavilion, and no one can be hurt."
They followed the mark's guidance and chased all the way south.
At this moment, in a teahouse in Nancheng, Yizhou, a man in Chinese clothes sat nervously at a table in the lobby, his face covered in sweat, and he looked at the door from time to time, as if he was worried that something might suddenly happen there.
Something terrible would appear and take his life.
The man made an appointment with two people in the world to meet here, which is why he took such a big risk and left home. Due to his status, his friend who had died on the black market could not directly protect him, but he secretly introduced these two people to him.
, the man had no choice, he was targeted by assassins, and more than half of the masters in the house were killed or injured, so he could only become a living doctor.
However, the two mysterious figures of unknown origin were unwilling to meet at his home and insisted on making an appointment outside. The man was unwilling to come out. After all, in front of those terrifying assassins, it was not easy to hide at home without being assassinated. Now, let him
If he goes out, isn't he looking for death?
But the friend on the black market swore that these two people could definitely protect his safety, and that person also said something mysterious - looking at the entire world, no assassin is a match for the two of them.
The man had no choice but to block the situation. He took the remaining six third-level masters in the house and quietly left the house while it was still dark. However, he didn't go far when someone followed him.
In half a morning, five third-level masters in the house died mysteriously one after another - some suddenly got poisonous while walking; some lowered their heads while resting and could no longer scream; and two died.
The most bizarre thing was that when they passed an alley, there was a sudden noise from behind. As soon as they turned around, the person behind them disappeared without a trace. When they turned around again, the person who opened the way in front also disappeared without a trace.
The man walked in fear all the way. He always felt that there were assassins from all directions who wanted to kill him. When he was about to arrive at the agreed tea house, the last third-level guard was not spared. He was struck by a flying knife in his heart and died.
In a deserted corner.
The frightened man fled into the teahouse in panic, waiting fearfully for the two people he had agreed to meet, but no one came to see him even after the agreed time.
"Hu San, you're hurting me!" The man cursed secretly at his friend on the black market, staring at the door.
He couldn't bear it anymore. He didn't dare to stay here anymore. The street in front of the door was crowded with people. He decided to blend in with the crowd and escape back home, never to go out again!
The moment the man's buttocks left the seat, a hand suddenly pressed on his shoulder and pushed the man back into his seat.
"Don't move!"
The man was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat, his hair stood on end, and he felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
His teeth kept trembling, and he stumbled and said: "Soldier, spare your life...how much money do you want...I will give it to you, please don't kill me..."
A young and beautiful woman, Shi Shiran, sat in front of the man, placed her long sword across the table, and said calmly:
"We are not here to kill you, we are here to save you."
The man was stunned, then looked back at the young man holding his shoulders behind him, rubbed his eyes, and said in disbelief:
"Are you the Tang family brothers and sisters?"
Tang Feng and Tang Ying looked at each other awkwardly, this title made them somewhat embarrassed.
"yes."
Speaking of which, it was a coincidence that Tang Feng and Tang Ying appeared here. The original plan of the two of them was to go eastward after leaving Fenglin and go to Penglai Pavilion to meet Tang Qinghuai. However, they had calculated everything but failed to calculate the amount of money.
Not enough anymore.
Tang Feng and Tang Ying grew up in Tushenglou, and everything they used was provided by the sect. Later, when they went out to assassinate people, it was all arranged by Tushenglou, so they didn’t need to worry about it, so both of them were very interested in market things like money.
They have no idea. The only thing they know is how much a human life is worth.
After the two left Fenglin, they had less than five taels of silver in total. There was no way to send them to the East China Sea. With no choice, the two had no choice but to go to Yizhou and raise money here through the black market.
There is no entrance to Tushenglou on Jiannan Road. Perhaps it is because fighting is common here. People have grudges with each other and they resolve them by themselves. There is no need for a killer. Therefore, the process of making money for Tang Feng and Tang Ying is as follows:
It was very hard work. After staying here for four or five days, I could only raise twenty taels.
But the man in front of me is a big fat man. He is a rich man from Yizhou. His family is very big, but he is engaged in the business of reselling people and selling children. I don’t know who spread this unscrupulous news.
Since then, the man has been targeted by a group of mysterious killers. In less than a month, only a few of the masters in the man's house have died. Tang Feng and Tang Ying took over the business and took over the business for the man.
Eliminate the killer and save his life.
"Why are you here!" When the man heard that he was the one he was looking for, he suddenly became arrogant and scolded:
"I've been waiting here for a long time. Do you know that there are dozens of people outside who want my life?"
"You know better." Tang Ying stared coldly into the man's eyes. She was very disdainful to protect the man in front of her. If it weren't for the money, she would have stabbed this scumbag to death with a sword.
But she has no money, and she is not a righteous hero, she is a killer.
"We have always been by your side." Tang Feng said in a deep voice, "We have been secretly protecting you since you left home."
"What do you mean?" the man asked in confusion, "You mean you watched my people being killed and did nothing?"
"If we had done nothing, you would have been the first to die." Tang Ying said, "Don't worry, we have figured out the path of those people, and they are no match for us."
"That's good." The man breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then you can take me home. There are many people here and it's not convenient to do anything."
"Hey, you are very thoughtful." Tang Feng smiled, "You are afraid that you can't hide your identity, and the people on the street will beat you to death before the other side takes action."
"Haha, you are joking." The man smiled and stopped mentioning the matter.
Tang Ying said: "It's for your own good that we don't let you out. This teahouse is under our control. Their people can't sneak in, and they can't get close to you. But as soon as you go out and blend into the crowd, the assassins on the opposite side can
They will approach you silently and then kill you. There are many people on the street, which is the best way for them to hide. You...trafficking children, you should also know how to steal children on the street, for the same reason."
"I know... I know." The man wiped the sweat from his forehead and stopped talking.
Outside the teahouse, Zhang Quan stared at the door of the teahouse with a serious expression.
Originally, there was no need for him to come forward to assassinate this man, but early this morning, the man suddenly led someone out. The disciples of the Bloody Clothes Hall who secretly followed him and prepared to take action were repeatedly obstructed. Three people were injured and one died. Although they all took six of the men with him.
All the third-grade guards were killed, but the most important target escaped here unscathed.
"Half an hour has passed and he hasn't come out yet." Zhang Quan frowned and whispered, "Did you see someone inside?"
