Chapter 243: Friend or Foe
The bearded man introduced a lot of things about Ling Yuanye on the road, and he was very hospitable, and he had to ask Qian Shi and Duan Wanling to come to the house to taste their milk tea, but I heard that the two of them were going to the southern border Bearded was a little surprised, because this journey was really a little far, and he had never been to the southern border.
Along the way, the two also knew some things about the bearded, his surname was Wang, his ancestors were nomads for several generations, and the four seas were his home, although it was hard but free, he galloped between heaven and earth, and he has basically been active in Ling Yuanye in recent years.
The road on the plain is much better, but it took some time to drive the sheep, but Qian Shi and Duan Wanling also know more about this Ling Plain, this place is extremely wide, and it is one of the few rare wild grasslands in the northern region, and the only way to find a post station is to go to the nearest town nearby, but it will take more than two hours.
After inquiring about some of the situation, the two of them were also relieved, as long as there were no people on the fifth floor of the Northern Regions, it would be safe.
"Brother Wang, your tent is really unique, it is both delicate and can resist the wind. Duan Wanling looked at the tents and said.
Brother Wang smiled: "If people like us don't even have this bit of craftsmanship, how can we survive in this wilderness." ”
"Mother-in-law, come out and prepare some good meals and dishes, and make some milk tea, and treat the two friends I brought back today. As he spoke, Brother Wang shouted into the tent.
This Brother Wang is also really enthusiastic, not only prepared a sumptuous dinner, but also specially set up a tent for Qian Shi and Duan Wanling, and said that they usually have no guests here, and the hospitality is not good, which makes Qian Shi and Duan Wanling very embarrassed.
In the tent lit with candles, Qian Shi and Duan Wanling sat cross-legged, recovering their cultivation strength, and after a while, Qian Shi whispered, "Do you feel that something is wrong?"
Duan Wanling said: "Do you suspect that this Brother Wang has any bad behavior towards us? ”
Qian Shi said: "No, I'm not suspicious of Brother Wang, you may not have noticed Brother Wang's woman, she looked at us a little abnormally, as if she was deliberately hiding something, every time she secretly observed us in the corner, but she was afraid of being discovered by us, whenever you and I shifted our eyes, she would always subconsciously avoid, as if she was very afraid of looking at us, if there was no reason, how could we be like this when we met for the first time?"
Qian Shi has been extremely cautious and cautious since he experienced the incident in the Xinghong Forest, and everyone couldn't believe it, Qian Shi, who was already vigilant, naturally had a full view of these small actions of Brother Wang's woman.
Duan Wanling lowered her head and thought about it, as if she had thought of something, and said in a low voice, "Could it be that the woman wants to do something to us?" Or did she see the two of us before?"
The two were talking about their guesses, when they heard a sound of "squirming ......" from outside the tent, it should be someone who was trotting quickly in the weeds, Qian Shi and Duan Wanling glanced at each other, and they already knew in their hearts that there was only Brother Wang's family in this vicinity, and it was so late at night, how could anyone come.
Don't dare to slack off, Qian Shi immediately got out of the tent and went in the direction of the sound, and Duan Wanling also followed quickly after him, if there was really any change, he must notice it as soon as possible.
Sure enough, it was Brother Wang's woman, a somewhat short and fat woman, looking at her body shape, she knew that she was a person who did rough work all year round, at this time she was fiddling with something next to a secret haystack, and from time to time she put her face close to the ground and blew a few breaths, Qian Shi and Duan Wanling were a little puzzled, what was this woman doing.
"Not good!" After Qian Shi observed for a while, he finally understood, and immediately rushed out, but it was still a little late, only to see a white smoke burst into the sky, and then a gorgeous flower exploded in the air.
"You, what are you two going to do!" Brother Wang's woman exclaimed as she looked at Qian Shi and Duan Wanling, who were glaring angrily.
Duan Wanling's beautiful eyes glared: "Who are you going to report again?"
"Hmph, you really have a problem, it's not a traveling merchant at all, otherwise how could you be so nervous. The woman became stiff at this point.
At this shout, Brother Wang was also awakened, and ran out wearing a big leather jacket, looking at the three people in front of him, with an inquiring look on his face.
When the woman saw her man coming, she hurriedly ran over, leaned over and pointed at Qian Shi and Duan Wanling and said: "Boss, don't be deceived by them, they are not good people, I went to the town yesterday and saw their wanted notices, they are the people who were urgently arrested on the fifth floor of the Northern Regions, and they must be thieves who kill people and oversell goods." ”
"Since they entered our house, I recognized them, in order not to disturb them and cause trouble, I came out at night to report to the people on the fifth floor of the Northern Regions, the fireworks were issued by the fifth floor of the Northern Regions, and someone will come to arrest them in a while!"
Although Brother Wang is simple, he still believes in his own woman more, not to mention that this is still a reasonable and well-founded thing, after hearing the reason, he immediately changed his expression, looked at Qian Shi and Duan Wanling with unkind eyes, and touched his hand to his waist.
Qian Shi and Duan Wanling were a little dumbfounded, this is really a little inexplicable, 90% of the area of the Northern Regions is directly governed by the Fifth Floor of the Northern Regions, and the Fifth Floor of the Northern Regions has a very heavy weight in the hearts of the people, it can be said that the Fifth Floor of the Northern Regions is the parent official who presides over justice for them, and the food force that guards the peace of the Northern Regions, and the people who want to be arrested on the Fifth Floor of the Northern Regions must be extremely heinous fanatics.
Qian Shi really couldn't imagine that those people were so vicious, first controlled the fifth floor of the Northern Regions, and then used the power of the fifth floor of the Northern Regions to achieve their goals, and also made the people believe in this and fully support it.
Shaking his head, Qian Shi smiled bitterly: "Brother Wang, we are by no means evildoers, and we have no ill will towards you, but we were persecuted and hunted down by people who wanted to control the Northern Regions, and since this is the case today, we can only leave as soon as possible." Saying that, Qian Shi hugged his fists, and Yu Duan Wanling turned his head and left.
Brother Wang held the dagger in his hand, but in the end he didn't rush up to stop it, for some reason, looking at Qian Shi's clear eyes, he couldn't help but believe him.
At this time, the most advantageous thing is to kill Brother Wang and his wife immediately, so that they will hide their traces and identities for as long as possible, but Qian Shi and Duan Wanling will not do this.
While moving quickly in the dark night, Duan Wanling said: "Now it seems that we can't go to any post station, presumably there are people there who are tracking us, we must leave this Ling Yuanye as soon as possible and think of other methods, they should be chasing them soon, but there will definitely be no masters in such a short period of time." ”
Qian Shi said: "We can't fight with them, that can only make us fall into passivity, let them keep chasing us, and it's not the best strategy to run now, no matter how fast we are, how can we compare to those who ride flying demonic beasts on this vast plain." ”
Duan Wanling frowned and said, "Then what do you say we should do, can't we hide in the desert." ”
Qian Shi said with a flash of inspiration: "Hide?, yes, we will find a secret place to hide in this Ling Yuanye, and do the opposite, as the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place, they thought we had fled to other places, but we avoided them in this Ling Yuanye." ”
The two were discussing countermeasures, but at this moment, a female figure suddenly appeared in front of them and whispered: "This method is not bad, but the risk is also very big, why don't you let me help you get out and go to the south!"
