Lou Yun looked at the closed town gate, obviously unable to accept this fact. Since Han Tianxiao and the others were not in the town, they must have left. From this town to Canglan Country, the only necessary path he was standing on now was
Passing the road, I paid attention to the situation on the road all night long. It was absolutely impossible for them to pass through the road without noticing it.
That means there is only one possibility. They left from another city gate, which is the direction they came from!
No, there is another possibility that they were caught by people from the Three Rivers Kingdom and taken away from the town overnight. But that’s not right. Even if they were taken away, they would definitely go to the capital of the Three Rivers Kingdom.
It is impossible to send them back directly through this necessary road!
Shaking his head, Lou Yun felt that if he continued to analyze like this, his brain would explode sooner or later. Now if he wants to know what happened, the best way is to go to the city and ask!
Lou Yun came to the place where Wan Hui'er was hiding and told his findings and thoughts. Wan Hui'er said anxiously: "No, there are soldiers in the city now. Brother Lou, if you go in, you will definitely
Discovered!"
Lou Yun smiled and said: "Don't worry, I won't be caught so easily, and I won't go in openly, I will definitely have to disguise myself."
Lou Yun's so-called disguise is to put some stains on his face, wrinkle his clothes, roll up his trousers, and then ask Changxiang to help hide his cultivation. In this way, he looks like an ordinary farm boy.
Finally, Lou Yun took off the Sword in the Stone and handed it to Wan Hui'er and said: "Hui'er, I'll go in while it's dark now. As soon as I get the news, I'll come out immediately. You'll wait for me here, unless it's
I will show up in person, otherwise no matter what sound you hear or what movement you find, don’t come out! Do you understand?”
Wan Huier nodded vigorously and said: "Brother Lou, you don't have to worry about me. You must be careful yourself. Huier is here waiting for you to come back!"
Lou Yun smiled and stretched out his finger to gently poke Wan Huier's forehead and said, "Don't worry, wait for me when I come back!"
After saying that, he turned around and left
Under the cover of night, Lou Yun successfully entered the city, and then moved quickly like a civet cat under the shadow of various buildings.
As expected, the city was heavily guarded. Many soldiers were patrolling. There was almost no ordinary person on the street. However, with Changxiang's reminder, Lou Yun easily avoided these soldiers and then came to the inn where Han Tianxiao and others lived.
Not far away is the place where we fought with Huo Yong yesterday. At this time, the bodies of Huo Yong and the executioner have naturally disappeared, but there are still some dried blood stains on the ground.
Lou Yun took a quick glance and entered the inn. Although it was not too late, due to the tense atmosphere in the town, there was no one in the inn. There was only a waiter who was dozing on the counter.
Hearing someone come in, the boy opened his sleepy eyes and said, "To be objective, do you want accommodation?"
Lou Yun walked over, reached out and took out a gold coin and said: "If you don't want to stay, I'll ask you a few questions!"
The boy had never seen a real gold coin in his whole life. At this time, his eyes were wide open and he nodded repeatedly: "Objective, if you want to know anything, just ask!"
"Did a group of people stay at your inn last night?"
"Well, there are fifty or sixty people, both men and women, who live in our inn!" The young man suddenly lowered his voice and said: "Objective, are those people not good people?"
Lou Yun was too lazy to answer his question: "Then when did they leave and where did they go?"
"They left in the middle of the night, just like thieves, quietly. I don't know where they went, but I helped them lead the horses and saw them leaving towards the city gate over there."
The direction that the little guy pointed was exactly the direction Lou Yun and the others entered the city yesterday, which meant that they had indeed gone the way they had come.
The boy was still talking there: "Not long after they left, a group of soldiers came to the city and sealed the entire city!"
Lou Yun nodded and said: "I understand, okay, I'm leaving. Remember, don't tell anyone about my visit, otherwise, you may take the money but lose your life!"
After saying that, Lou Yun left. At this time, his heart was full of doubts. Han Tianxiao and the others actually left in the middle of the night last night. Obviously they were not taken away by people from the Three Rivers Kingdom, but why did they come the same way?
As for leaving, did they return to the ancient Feng Kingdom along the same route?
It doesn't make sense. The mission hasn't been completed yet, and Hui'er is not in the team. It won't do them any good if they return to the ancient kingdom like this!
Changxiang suddenly said coldly: "Boy, I think they abandoned you on purpose!"
"Why?"
Changxiang did not answer Lou Yun, but he said in his heart: "Humph, Old Man Feng, Xia Guanqiu, you are all fools. There is a Han family among the nine clans, isn't Han Tianxiao's surname Han? Why are you
I didn’t even think of him, he might be a member of the Nine Clan, he had discovered Lou Yun a long time ago, but he never found a chance to attack Lou Yun, so he just took advantage of this opportunity to attack Lou Yun!"
Changxiang knew that he could never tell Lou Yun these words without being very sure, because Lou Yun valued friends very much and was loyal. In his heart, Han Tianxiao was both his teacher and his friend.
Lou Yun did not get an answer from Chang Xiang, nor did he continue to ask. In fact, with his intelligence, he naturally knew that Chang Xiang's words were indeed a possibility, but there was no reason for this possibility, so he did not believe it.
When Lou Yun appeared in front of Wan Hui'er, although the two had only been separated for more than half an hour, Wan Hui'er rushed into Lou Yun's arms with excitement. Before she could speak, two lines of tears had already flowed down.
Although Wan Huier has a tomboy character, she is actually only sixteen years old. Besides, no matter how down-to-earth her father is, she is still a member of the royal family. She has been pampered and clothed since she was a child. How can she be like today?
, when I was hiding alone in the wilderness, I was worried about meeting some bad people, and I was also worried about Lou Yun whether he would have any accidents.
Now seeing Lou Yun back safely, Wan Huier's tense heart finally relaxed, and her tears of grievance naturally fell uncontrollably.
Wan Huier's actions shocked Lou Yun. He thought she was in danger. However, when he scanned the surrounding area with his spiritual sense, there was not even half a person there. Looking at the surrounding environment, he immediately understood, so
He patted Wan Huier's shoulder gently with guilt and said, "Don't cry. It's my brother's fault. I shouldn't have left you here alone. I promise I won't do it next time!"
He didn't say it was okay, but when he said Wan Hui'er cried even more sadly, Lou Yun was at a loss, and it took him a long time to coax her.
After she stopped crying, Wan Huier immediately began to ask Lou Yun about her experience in the city. Lou Yun originally didn't want to tell her, but after thinking that this matter had a very important relationship with her, she still told her.
Wan Huier's first reaction after hearing this was to clapped her hands and jumped up, shouting excitedly: "Great, now I will be completely free!"
Lou Yun looked at her helplessly, but he felt a little irritable because he didn't know what he should do next. Should he continue to Canglan Kingdom with Wan Hui'er, or return to Gu Feng Kingdom with Wan Hui'er?
Going to Canglan Country is tantamount to completely ruining Wan Hui'er's future freedom. When returning to the Ancient Feng Kingdom, there will inevitably be other people escorting Wan Hui'er to Canglan Country again. To be honest, Lou Yun is really
I am very concerned about the future of my new sister.
Seeing that Lou Yun was silent, Wan Huier stopped making trouble and asked in a low voice: "Brother Lou, what are you thinking about?"
Lou Yun sighed and expressed his thoughts, and Wan Huier fell into silence after listening. After a long time, she raised her head and took a deep breath, as if she had made some kind of decision.
He said to Lou Yun: "Brother Lou, my father only has one daughter. When I was a child, I really wanted to have a brother who could take care of me and love me. Now that I have met you, I really treat you as a brother, so
I don’t want to hide it from you anymore!”
Lou Yun looked at Wan Huier and said in confusion: "What are you hiding from me?"
"Actually, my trip to Canglan Country this time was not an order from the king, but my father's suggestion!"
"The Sixth Prince wants you to marry to the Canglan Kingdom?"
"Well, my father proposed to the king that by marrying me to Canglan Country, we can improve the relationship between the two countries, so that we can unite to eliminate several small countries such as Sanhe Country, and enhance the territory and strength of our ancient feudal country."
Lou Yun couldn't help but frown. He couldn't imagine why Wan Huier's father would do this.
"Actually, this is just a suggestion from my father to the king, and his real purpose is not for the sake of the ancient kingdom at all. He is entirely for his own future."
Lou Yun didn't ask, but now he had vaguely guessed the truth.
"My father's real purpose is to use the power of Canglan Kingdom to help him become the king of the ancient feudal kingdom. After that, he will unite with Canglan Kingdom and send troops to attack several small countries such as Sanhe Kingdom. After victory, these
Everything from the small country is given to Canglan Country, and he wants nothing for himself!"
"And this time I go, not to marry a prince, but to marry the king of Canglan Kingdom, as a hostage of Canglan Kingdom to help my father!"
Wan Huier let out a long breath. She had been holding these words in her heart for a long time, but she could never find anyone to talk to. Today, she said them in front of Lou Yun, which made her feel relieved.
Lou Yun looked at Wan Hui'er with pity. He really didn't expect that this little girl who looked like a tomboy would be burdened with so many things. Instead of being crushed, she could still talk and laugh.
, pretending as if nothing has happened, how can ordinary people achieve this kind of magnanimity!
After pondering for a moment, Lou Yun said: "Hui'er, let me ask you something now, do you want to marry the king of Canglan Kingdom?"
Wan Huier smiled bitterly and shook her head: "Brother Lou, do you think I would? Of course I don't, but I don't want to go against my father's words or let him down, so I just want to be able to do it before I become a hostage.
Enjoy a real life!"
These words made Lou Yun sigh with emotion, but they also made him make a decision: "Hui'er, in this case, we will continue to go to Canglan Country. I will fulfill your wish. Before entering Canglan Country, I will
I'll accompany you and let you enjoy a real life, okay?"
Wan Huier wiped away the tears on her face vigorously, nodded excitedly and said: "Okay!"
Seeing that although Wan Hui'er was happy, there was still a hint of loneliness on her face, Lou Yun smiled in his heart and said: "Little girl, when you arrive at Canglan Country, wait for me to give you a big surprise!
"
Since Lou Yun is determined to help Wan Hui'er, of course he won't just let her live a real life and be done with it. He wants to help her and give her a brand new life!
"Okay, if that's the case, let's set off. There's still a long way to go!"
"OK!"
So, Lou Yun took Wan Hui'er, and the two of them continued to move towards the direction of Canglan Country
Because of Wan Huier's relationship, Lou Yun no longer thinks about Han Tianxiao's departure, but in his heart, there is a blockage, and he doesn't know when it will be removed!
