Chapter 261: First Entry into Zeyang Town

You Xue traveled at night, and only arrived at Zeyang Town five days later, changing three fast horses on the way, and also happened to meet the two thousand cavalry led by Ling Duo Xiao Fan and passed by them.

So at this time, they should have rushed to Liba City.

She carried Yan Yan with her, Yan Yan had a keen sense of smell, she followed it all the way to find Qiong Qi's whereabouts, but found that Yan Yan had been taking her around around Zeyang Town, and had no intention of moving forward.

Qiong Qi has been in Zeyang Town for at least ten days, and he should have rushed to Liba City to join Li Yan at this moment.

But she still chose to believe in Yan Yan.

And she found that after entering Zeyang Town from the suburbs, she felt the rejection of outsiders by the people in the town, especially after she stayed in the inn, she could detect those strange and unkind eyes from time to time.

Sure enough, the brown horse, which had been running with her for three days and three nights the next day, fell in the stable, and was poisoned, although the inn nodded and said that she would be compensated for a fast horse, and that she would be exempted from the money for the night's stay.

You Xue knew that there was also a problem with this inn.

She is fearless, but will Qiong Qi be plotted?

When night fell, she sat on the damp bed and stared at the innocent-looking Yan Yan, "Drink my blood, this little help can't help, and you will be a divine beast in vain!

Yan Yan's cold snake body wrapped around her wrist, her head rubbed against her skin, and her small eyes were confused.

She sneered, the snake was unchangeable, treacherous and cunning, but she had to conserve her strength, and she could not contribute her own blood to feed it at will.

She got up from the damp bed, pulled over a few stools, and turned over to rest on the bench for the night.

This southwestern place is crisscrossed by rivers, lakes and swamps, and these houses are all wooden structures, and you will feel tired of sitting for a while.

After lying down for a while, she couldn't stand it anymore, sat up, lit a candle, and took out a map of the southwest and the distribution of waterways from her arms.

These were all stolen by her from the county treasury of Zeyang Town, which is the second checkpoint to enter the southwest border, and it is also an important pass and the only way to the main city, Shayao City.

Originally, there was a stronghold of the Blazing Li League nearby, and she could ask them directly, but when the time came, she would definitely not be able to hide it from Yu Mingxuan, and Yu Mingxuan was in Liba City with King Rui at the moment, if she knew that she was coming, Zhen Yunze would be distracted again, this was not what she wanted!

She looked up the route and tributaries of the Beichen Kingdom that Wang Lian said about transporting the kraken on the waterway map, and found that it was not far from Zeyang Town, and it wouldn't take long for her to fly over even if she used her light skills now.

Just as she was ready to go, she put the burden on her back and was about to open the door, when suddenly there was an imperceptible movement.

She hid behind the door and remained silent, watching the black shadow outside the house approaching step by step, and soon there was the sound of the blade pulling the deadbolt, and then the door gently pushed open a crack, and a flickering eye of strange calculation scanned the bed opposite, and found that there was no one on it, and was stunned for a moment, and when he was about to flee, there was a fragrant fragrance on the end of his nose, and he only felt that the whole person was about to float up, and then his body fell heavily into the door, and was soon dragged into the house by a hand.

You Xue held a dagger against his neck, pressed his fingertips on his acupoint to wake him up, and said coldly: "Who are you? Why did you sneak into my room? My horse was also poisoned by you, right?"

The man's ignorant eyes slowly condensed, and suddenly became ruthless: "Hmph, anyone who trespasses in Zeyang Town should die! Now it seems that Lao Tzu is not mistaken, you will not only do light work, but also poison, either meticulous work or banditry!"

You Xue held down the strength of the handle of the knife and relaxed slightly: "So, are you the guard of this inn?"

"Lao Tzu is just a pawn of a peddler! Don't talk nonsense, just do it!" he looked heroic and righteous with his neck crossed.

You Xue let go of the tip of the knife, sat beside him and squinted, seeing that he was vigilantly trying to turn over but couldn't move, his smile was even more sinister: "As you said, I am indeed a bandit and the like, and I found that you are not only a pawn of a peddler, but also a pawn of a peddler with internal injuries. ”

The big man was so angry that he gritted his teeth, and he couldn't move if he wanted to, so he simply closed his eyes and gasped.

"You're trying to steal my baggage, aren't you?" You Xue took his pulse, listened carefully for a while, and then looked at his face through the candle flame, "I've been hungry for many days, right?"

The man finally blushed and bared his teeth in annoyance, "Shut up Lao Tzu!"

There are moon cakes brought out by Aoshan in the snow baggage, she took out two and shook them in front of his eyes, although they have been put for so many days, but because of the heavy taste, the skin looks oily and golden, which makes people look very appetizing.

The big man waited with his eyes wide open and swallowed the fragrant golden cake above, but when he saw You Xue's playful eyes, he closed his eyes in annoyance, and after a moment of struggle and hesitation, he said: "You are right! Our village has suffered a disaster, dozens of people in the whole village have fled from Yao Jianshan in the west, but they are not allowed to enter the town, the brothers are okay, the old people and children have starved to death, we have no money, we can only do some hard work in the town!"

You Xue listened, and she didn't have much sympathy, but any diligent and honest person would not do such a thing, and this person's words were not credible at all.

"So you've done harm to others before?"

"No! We've only been here for a month!"

That is, when the war in the southwest began, "Then have you ever seen a thin white-haired woman riding by here?"

The man's eyebrows moved, and he shook his head: "No!"

But how could this subtle action escape You Xue's eyes, she smiled, "Thinking of your benevolence, righteousness and filial piety, I will let you go, and you won't harm people in the future!"

She took out a pill and slapped it into his mouth suddenly, her face was friendly and her eyes were smiling, and the tension just now was completely dissipated, which made the man a little stunned: "This is the antidote, after all, the little woman travels alone, and she always has to bring some medicine to defend herself." ”

She took out a cloth bag wrapped in moon cakes and handed it to him: "I don't have any entanglements, you can take these to your villagers to eat." ”

The strong man looked at her suspiciously, his hands and feet moved, and he was able to move.

He was worried in his heart, thinking that a woman really turned her face faster than a book, so easy to be fooled into believing his words?

"Okay, I'm still in a hurry, big brother, you can do it yourself!" You Xue smiled faintly, took the lead in stepping out of the door, and disappeared into the attic.

The strong man covered his burden and poked his head out to look left and right, making sure that the woman had disappeared, and couldn't help but take a bite of the moon cake, frowning, the crust was crispy, the meat filling seemed to be too salty, and a little chili pepper and other spices were added to taste, but it was very delicious! He swallowed three, quietly walked out of the room, walked along the wooden corridor to the attic window at the end, and jumped down lightly.

Seeing him flee far to the north, You Xue, who was hidden on a beam, rolled down, jumped out of the window, and quietly followed.

About half an hour later, she followed the man who had already left Zeyang Town, and walked a little towards the hillside in the northern suburbs, and finally saw him slow down, walked to the direction of the firelight, and met with a man, secretly discussing something, there were several bonfires behind the two, and from time to time there were noisy sounds, and it was difficult to distinguish what was said.
