Not far after Chushan ran out of the teahouse alone, Jiang Yichen heard the shout from the woman on the far side.
At the beginning, he felt that they had seen each other before and had the intention to rescue him.
Hearing the sound of the piano again, combined with the sound of "Uncle Four," he knew that the woman was Xi Weiyu.
He didn't know why Xi Weiyu traveled thousands of miles to come here, but it was not difficult to guess that the reason might be related to Luo Piaoling's arrangement.
In this way, apart from Xi Weiyu and her Sanliang Yuntian Temple fellows, the eight people in this group must also have people from the Daoyi Alliance or Tingyu Pavilion.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yichen couldn't think too much about whether the confrontation between these eight people and the court's "group" was an unexpected encounter or whether there was something wrong with the Niu family's father and daughter's schedule. The top priority was to help them escape the danger and retreat from the enemy.
What Chu Shangu thought was true, the sound of fighting, heavy rain, and the sound of the piano greatly interfered with Jiang Yichen's ability to hear the sound and identify the location.
Taking off the eye towel is an act of desperation.
After all, under the dim sky, he almost squinted his eyes into a line, and all he could see were black shadows with blurred outlines.
Of course, Jiang Yichen took such a risky move because he did not want to expose his blindness.
This teaches people to search for their roots and discover their identity prematurely.
For this reason, the moves he just made were a mixture of hundreds of sword techniques, and he never used Shuangxue Qi from the beginning to the end.
He thought that it was difficult to compare with Luo Piaoling, and he did not think that the deputy master of Tingyu Pavilion who was causing trouble in the world would be the old man's pawn.
But if the rivers and lakes, and the world, are used as a chessboard, only a figure like Luo Piaoling can be used as a clear white piece. Even if every move is made without concealment, anyone who wants to touch this white piece will have to avoid it and think twice.
And he can only be a sunspot on the chessboard. No matter how subtle it is, he must hide his whereabouts as much as possible. The right opportunity can work wonders.
No matter how cautious you are in guarding against the enemy, when it became clear that the eight people were friends and not enemies, Jiang Yichen did not hide anything. He took off his hat and directly disclosed his identity and purpose of visit.
However, the situation was urgent. Before Jiang Yichen met everyone one by one, the eight people who had just escaped had no time to take a few more breaths. Feipiao, the person in charge sent by Tingyu Pavilion, led the nine people to Qili Kiln.
That is the direction in which the men in black are retreating.
It’s not that they are chasing the poor bandits, but that the Niu family’s father and daughter are trapped in the Qili Kiln at the moment!
On the way, Fei Piao explained the whole process to Jiang Yichen in a concise and concise manner.
It turned out that after Yuntianguan and his party arrived in Baiju Town yesterday, they walked up and down the street several times.
I discovered that there were many unfamiliar faces in Baiju Town that I had not seen more than ten days ago, and I also recognized a few strong people.
Just before dusk fell, I met Feipiao and other seven people who had also accepted the mission and stayed here for many days.
The two parties exchanged their respective observations, and both were worried that more powerful people would gather, which would be detrimental to the Niu family's father and daughter's journey south.
In order to avoid long nights and many dreams, more than ten people worked together to come up with strategies.
I bought a carriage and horses overnight, changed my clothes, and left Baiju Town to pick up the Niu family's father and daughter.
The journey was non-stop and I stayed up all night.
Today, Shen Shi brought the Niu family and his daughter to Baiju Town.
Then he asked Qi Huangwu, who was similar in stature to Niu Kelian, and the little girl who had been coaxed to live in the inn pretending to be the Niu family's father and daughter.
The real Niu family father and daughter were pretending to be traders with them, and it was difficult to leave the town.
I thought that this method of substituting beams and substituting pillars was enough to conceal the truth, but I didn't know that after only five or six miles, I was chased by soldiers.
At that time, facing the incoming enemy, they had to divide their troops into two groups to do their own thing.
Ning Kuang, together with three others, took the Niu family's father and daughter to avoid danger in the Qili Kiln, waiting for an opportunity to escape.
Feipiao led the other men to block the enemy with all their strength.
Unexpectedly, everything went against expectations.
The enemy is the rumored "group" who defeated several sects that night at the Hundred Flowers Conference.
Unique weapons, serious tactical discipline, can always teach "that group" to maximize their numerical advantage.
A group of ten people, ten people as one, with only thirty people, made Feipiao and others feel like they were facing a formidable enemy.
In addition, Zhinu and Cowherd, two of the fourteen villains in the world, were plundering the formation, and this was what Chu Shangu and Jiang Yichen saw in the end.
Among the eight people, three from Tingyu Pavilion are Feipiao, Mu Shang, and Xiao Yan'er who once opened the Yanhui Inn in Xijiang County. The other five are Qi Huangsu, the fourth elder of Yuntian Temple, and Xi Weiyu,
Yunzhang, Yunjing, Yunlongkui.
During the fight, the Weaver Girl and the Cowherd disappeared early on, so they didn't need to think too much and were looking for the Niu family's father and daughter.
Therefore, they have no time to delay and must rush back to Qili Kiln as soon as possible to ensure the safety of the Niu family and his daughter!
During the trip, Chu Shangu walked at the end to avoid suspicion.
Jiang Yichen, who understood the whole story, directly confessed the risks of this trip to Chu Shangu and told him that he could leave on his own.
However, Chu Shangu felt that he had owed Jiang Yichen in the first place, and had been hired along the way, and had not compensated for the damage to Jiang Yichen's eye drops. He felt guilty for leaving at this time, so he righteously rejected Jiang Yichen's proposal.
Although they had only known each other for one day and did not understand each other deeply, after being able to confirm that the other party was not a villain and was unlikely to be an enemy spy, Jiang Yichen could only be cautious and briefly explained the reason to Feipiao and others.
Chu Shangu is following him for the time being.
…
…
Qili Kiln outside Baiju Town.
Covering an area of more than 300 acres, it is the largest kiln farm south of Luzhou and north of Suzhou.
The overall layout is in the shape of the word "field", with three horizontal and three vertical directions.
There are a total of 81 houses or structures including kilns, workshops, washing tanks, sedimentation tanks, and decay sinks.
Although they have been abandoned for more than a year, most of the walls and shacks are still intact, so it is no problem to use them as shelters.
Therefore, after hearing only the sound of heavy rain and no other unusual movements, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
There was no additional news, which more or less meant that Ning Kuang, the Niu family, his daughter, and others were still safe.
At this time, everyone did not rush to separate. In order to avoid being left alone and in danger, they planned to find each other one by one.
Not long after walking, I saw a bumpy "black ball" beside the wall of a workshop.
When I got closer, I realized that the "black ball" was actually a corpse!
"This brother's death was a bit tragic."
"All the limbs are bent behind the back, the nose and lips are almost separated in half, the eyes are protruding, and the veins are bulging."
"Both the limbs and the face can be seen being pierced or tied with silver threads."
"The look of horror on his face, I think the fear in my heart before death must have been greater than the pain in my body..."
"The reason why it looks like a ball is also the same as the cause of its death. I think it was forced out by dozens of silver strands in a few breaths."
"The strength of this murderer's hands is extraordinary, but the one who used the knitting thread as a weapon couldn't be a woman, right?"
Although Jiang Yichen had not put on his blindfold again, the sky had darkened a lot. It was difficult for him to recognize the obstacles in front of him, and it was really difficult to do anything more. So Chu Shangu followed him and did his duty.
Play the role of “eyes” responsibly.
Perhaps he noticed that the surrounding atmosphere suddenly became depressing, and thinking that the deceased was probably the so-called person from Tingyu Pavilion, Chu Shangu deliberately lowered his voice while explaining to Jiang Yichen, with a bit of sadness.
Feelings of compassion.
Before Jiang Yichen could say anything, Feipiao had already closed the deceased's eyes, cut the threads that bound him into a humanoid shape, and worked with Mu Shang to allow the deceased to sit comfortably against the wall.
Everyone suppressed the grief in their hearts and stayed for only a moment before continuing to search for the Niu family's father and daughter.
After walking no more than thirty cloths, I saw another corpse lying on the road.
The corpse was no longer "woven into a ball", but its abdomen was sunken almost flush with the ground, and its face was beyond recognition!
Many people only glanced at it and then looked away. Yunlongkui held Xi Weiyu's hand tightly and hid behind his shoulder.
Xiao Yan'er rushed forward and lay on the corpse. It was easy to identify the person and she closed her painful eyes for him.
"It's Xiao Yi..."
Xiao Yan'er didn't look back, straightened up and quickened her pace to continue exploring forward.
The rest of the people followed quickly.
Jiang Yichen happened to be walking next to Feipiao, and vaguely heard Feipiao complaining to himself in a low voice.
"Xiao B, Da C... it was their lack of thinking that led to your tragic deaths."
Jiang Yichen consoled him: "Soldiers are very quick, and your method has minimized possible injuries. It will be late when traveling, and it will inevitably attract the attention of those who are interested. Now that the matter has come to this, it is better not to let their sacrifices be in vain.
