Chapter 10: Blend into the caravan and leave
The current head of the Gan family, named Gan Zhengshan, cultivates a metallic cultivation method, was generous and generous when he was young, but his character is as sharp as the exercises he practiced, since the Gan family before him, they all rely on personal skills to inherit the position of the head of the family, there is no eldest son to inherit the head of the family, the position of the head of the family is the best of the best, not only to test a martial arts, but also to compare the comprehensive level of the individual.
The royal family of this generation sitting in the capital is not satisfied with seeing the Lindu City slowly becoming stronger and stronger, and wants to find a way to restrain the development of these families, but they can't make a big move, and they can't touch these long-rooted interest cakes, so the method of inheriting the head of the family was proposed, and the big family in the capital city promulgated a "good", giving them a royal general inheritance plan, although everyone understands in their hearts that this is the royal family's ability to weaken the family, but the royal "reward" has to be accepted.
Gan Xuanning stayed in his father's room all night, the servants around him all withdrew, and the house was also shrouded in a vague force, and no one knew what the two of them were talking about.
Gan Xuanning didn't sleep until early in the morning, and it was an important task in the family to go in and out of his study, and he didn't come out of the house until the next night, and then he never returned home.
Gan Xuanning and Liu Yeshao hurriedly walked in the night, in order to reduce the observation of the spies, the two walked out of the city, although the news of Gan Xuanning's departure from Gan Mansion would soon reach the ears of other families, and it might be a day late, so they would bring him a little more safety.
The two of them brought some belongings in the space bag, and the willow leaf was nothing, except for some more source stones in the pocket, it was some worldly gold and silver money, after all, what do you want, just buy it along the way, and prepare more are cumbersome on the road. Even the black-robed master who had been following Gan Xuanning was nowhere to be seen, not protecting him in the dark, but really not knowing where he went.
Walking outside the city, the two stopped in an inn outside the city, opened a guest room, in the room, Gan Xuanning first took out a black robe from the brocade bag, and then took out a spar, and said, "This dress is a phantom robe created by the Creation Valley, I definitely can't hand it over to you for the disguise technique, but this phantom robe, it's no problem to give it to you, this memory stone is the use of the phantom clothes." ”
"At night, I keep vigil, you sleep, and when we leave the city completely, we don't have to worry. ”
Even if they lived in the inn, the two of them came out of the city secretly, Gan Xuanning was also very cautious, Liu Yeshao took the clothes, and the shiny stone was brought over, and there was a faint tingling and itching feeling coming from his hand, he tried to release a little bit of his divine sense, the light of the stone dimmed, and Liu Yeshao's mind appeared some feelings about the phantom clothes.
Liu Yeshao knew about these things of divine consciousness, and he also learned how to perceive and use them, but the ability of this stone still surprised him, and he thought that if he had this ability on the earth, he was afraid that he would have to climb the technology tree quickly, and the teachers would all be laid off.
"Brother Gan, is this stone valuable?" Liu Yeshao suddenly had some thoughts, but it depended on whether this stone was worth a lot.
"The stone itself is not very valuable, but there is a price to pay for instilling content into it. The value of a stone depends on what is instilled in it and how much content the person reading can extract from it. ”
"This stone was made by the maker of the phantom costume himself, so it's equivalent to an instruction manual. Gan Xuanning added.
This phantom dress is also interesting, Gan Xuanning's disguise technique is to change his appearance, this phantom clothes is to change people's clothing, not really change the material, style, but to change the appearance of the clothes in the eyes of others, at the beginning of the meeting, Gan Xuanning's appearance and clothes are exactly the same as the willow leaf tops, only the eyes, voice and behavior are very different.
Liu Yeshao moved a chair and put it at the head of the bed, and then beckoned, "I'll keep vigil tonight, and you sleep." Rest assured, I have more experience in vigil than you. Then, put on a set of phantom clothes, sat on the chair, and his mind moved, the appearance of the phantom clothes became the background color next to the bed, such a scene made Gan Xuanning stunned, after all, the idea of the phantom clothes is to clone other people's dresses, as long as you can see the appearance of the clothes, you can change the appearance of the clothes, but the idea of integrating the clothes and the background is really surprising.
Liu Yeshao thinks it's nothing, the effect of this dress is so peculiar, it's a waste not to use it as an invisibility cloak, just to clone other people's clothes, what's the point?
Seeing that Liu Yeshao's whole person is on the chair, it seems that the whole person blends into the background of the house, even if someone comes in, with the naked eye, you can't find that there is a person sitting here. The willow leaf tip sat there motionless, blending into the dark and lightless wall of the house, without any flaws.
Gan Xuanning fell asleep quickly in bed.
Liu Yeshao sat there, entering a state of false sleep, controlling his own breath to calm down, as if he was asleep, but the sound of breathing was controlled low and long, but in fact, his consciousness had been floating in and out of the house, and his ears listened carefully to the breathing sound of this inn, the movement next door, the movement upstairs, and even the movement of who was quietly suppressing the sound of people in the house, he gave it a taste.
Judging from the judgment of Liu Yeshao, this night should be a quiet night, but if you go again tomorrow, the people in the city will already catch up, and then follow tomorrow, and it is not too late to start away from the city, as long as the fish bites the hook, then you can keep dragging the fish away, and the fish is tired, you can pull the hook.
In the second half of the night, Liu Yeshao moved, he gently poked Gan Xuanning who was lying on the bed, saw him wake up, gave him a boo gesture, waved his hand again, and signaled him to pack up his things, pack up and leave overnight. Liu Yeshao is a former agent, this kind of departure with the nature of escape, the most experienced, but if you let Gan Gongzi run thousands of miles overnight, but it is not realistic, you can only let him rest for a while, and then leave at night, this is also a smoke bomb method, if someone gets the news to visit this inn in the middle of the night, then it can only be empty.
Ran out of the city to the west for more than an hour, arrived at the familiar forest intersection, did not go inside, continued to walk west along the periphery of the forest, the two of them did not speak all the way, until Gan Xuanning really couldn't follow before stopping, Liu Yeshao was also out of breath at this time, Gan Xuanning did not speak, Liu Yeshao first said: "You can't stay on the road for a long time, if someone in the city wants to misbehave towards you, this night is the best opportunity, we can stay in the inn for one night, but we can't stay overnight." Otherwise, there will be two results when we wake up tomorrow, one, we are in the Hades Mansion, and two, we are in the Duan family's secret prison. ”
"Then I will become a bargaining chip for the Duan family to blackmail my Gan family forever, right?" Gan Xuanning only reacted now, and then took out the map from the bag, the map was extremely detailed, and even where there was an inn and a market was clearly written. He took out another Dan bottle, poured out two beans in the shape of red beans like beans, stuffed one into the willow leaf tip, and then ate it himself.
The dandouer melts in the mouth, and there is a little sweetness, as soon as it enters the mouth, it is a warm current flowing downstream, and the whole person's body has recovered its strength, as if it has slept well and eaten a big meal.
"Qi Li Dan, don't ask, now go north. Liu Yeshao really wanted to ask, the little one of the dandou was inconspicuous, and there was no source qi emanating from it, there was no so-called "danxiang", but the power brought by that bean seemed to give a shot of adrenaline, and the whole person was full of vitality.
The two of them walked quickly to the north along the periphery of the forest, this forest separated Lindu City and Hewan City, the location of Lindu City is close to the middle and lower reaches of the Cangjiang River, and the location of Hewan City is the place where the powerful people who diverted the Cangjiang River were rerouted, and it is also the place where the Cangjiang River bends, where after thousands of years, the river washes out a plain, and those people who admire the power of the diversion river gather there, build a city, and live.
One night, how can not go to Hewan City, the first stop of the two is the market town in the southwest corner of the forest, Lindu City is not far from the east of the forest, Hewan City is not far from the west of the forest, Lindu City out, half an hour can use the legs to go to the farthest place is this small gathering place called the forest outside the market town, this market town as a transit station sells everything that can be bought with money in the city, there are also fast horse stations, more people come out of the Lindu City to rent horses and buy horses and then go to Hewan City.
The business of the market town is never finished, and it is always prosperous, selling goods from the cities on both sides, as well as animal products from the forest.
Linwai Market Town is relatively close to Lindu City, and it is a little farther away from Hewan City, so most of the people gathered here are from Lindu City, many from Hewan City, most of them are traders and dealers, this market town is not a foothold, in Gan Xuanning's plan, buying two fast horses in the market town is the key.
It took a few hours of dawn for Gan and Liu to arrive at this market town, and when they arrived outside the market town, Gan Xuanning changed his appearance, and then walked into the fast horse station, and there was a team from Kyoto in the post station, passing through Lindu City, to the caravan of Hewan City, Gan Xuanning was inquiring about the price of horses with the post station, but Liu Yeshao set his eyes on the caravan.
"Is there a dart master at this station?" the man who looked like the steward of the caravan was asking in the station. There is no proper dart game in this world, and it is usually the post station that provides some security personnel to accompany the caravan.
"This guest officer, the triennial recruitment of disciples for the Sword Gate of Jingshan in that town has begun, and there are too many caravans going to Jingshan from Kyoto during this time, and most of our dart masters have already left the post station. The guy in the shop patiently answered the question.
In fact, it is very easy to find samurai or hunters for hire in the market town, but if you don't do it well, you can attract wolves into the house.
"This brother, if you send a guard, what do you think of our brothers?" Liu Yeshao followed the man after hearing this, the man was frowning and worried, hearing this, he was first happy, then looked at Liu Yeshao's appearance and was stunned, and finally shook his head, and was about to walk out.
Liu Yeshao stopped in front of him with a step and said:
"Brother Tai, can't you trust us?" he waved his hand and called Gan Xuanning over.
"It's not that I can't believe you, looking at your well-dressed and graceful appearance, you seem to be from a good person's house, but this day's journey to Hewan City, I don't have any ability, I'm afraid I can't keep our goods." The steward of the caravan expressed his doubts.
Seeing this, Gan Xuanning also understood Liu Yeshao's thoughts, that is, to melt into this caravan and mix into Hewan City, thinking that he would also wipe off his traces in advance, so he stepped forward to exert slight pressure, and the source qi was released, indicating his identity as a source magician.
"I don't want silver, I don't want to collect the source stone, I just want to give a carriage to sit on, we two brothers just want to go to the river bay city for a visit, and the money from home is not enough. It's okay to take what you need!" Gan Xuanning said next.
The steward of the caravan was very happy to see this, after all, it is not every day that such a good thing as a free dart of the source magician is not happening.
The two followed the steward out of the post station together, walked to the caravan and greeted each other, the caravan had a total of 11 people, 7 carriages, manpower was quite scarce, the steward's name was Li Shan, a fourth-level steward of the largest chamber of commerce in Kyoto, usually followed the caravan to the line of Hewan City, and sent some Kyoto specialties and other things.
But Liu Yejiao looked at the deep car marks pressed down by the wheel hub of the leading carriage, and it didn't look like the weight of a cart of local specialties.
Keep an eye on it, take a break in the market town, and set off early while it was still dark.
