The streets are crowded with people.

Despite the fact that during this period, there were many spirits in Hanxiao City, most of the people on the streets were ordinary people in the city.

As Li Xiuwen and the others walked to the street, the rabbit girl who followed them immediately attracted frequent sideways glances from pedestrians.

Li Xiuwen and his entourage went straight to a carriage parked on the side of the street waiting to solicit customers, and as the curtain fell, the pedestrians on the street retracted their gaze.

Ba Fenghan followed far behind the car, and in a short time he had left the street of the fair, turning into a wide road large enough for the five troikas to gallop side by side.

The road extends to the north of the city, and at the end is the castle lord's mansion.

As the number of pedestrians on the street decreased, the carriage picked up speed, and after half a pillar of incense, it stopped in front of a courtyard on the side of the street.

After Li Xiuwen and his party entered, the carriage also left.

He looked at the plaque above the courtyard gate from a distance, and it was written in three gilded characters: 'Zizhuyuan'.

It is only 100 meters away from the City Lord's Mansion, and no businesses are allowed within a 500-meter radius of the City Lord's Mansion, so there are not many pedestrians on the wide streets.

The people who can live here have more or less something to do with the city lord's mansion, most of them are dignitaries, and naturally there are some court worshippers.

Ba Fenghan couldn't help but think of the horse-faced old man, and he didn't know what role he played.

After about a cup of tea, Li Xiuwen and Zhao Zetao walked out of the courtyard, but they didn't see the rabbit girl.

Ba Fenghan stood in the shadows in the far corner, and when the two of them reached the street, they could see the pattern on the clothes on their chests.

It was a black coiling dragon totem.

The dragon totem has always been exclusive to the royal family of Yan State, and it is forbidden to use it by any other force, otherwise the nine clans will be exterminated according to the crime of treason, but Lizong, one of the five sects, is an exception, and is allowed to use the coiling dragon as the symbol of the sect.

Ba Fenghan's face began to become a little solemn, and he secretly thought: "I don't know when these two joined the Li Sect, and it is related to the battle frenzy of the Li Sect, and it is difficult to do. ”

As the upper sect of Yan State, Lizong has strong strength and many disciples, but the people of Beilu have always been grateful and repaid.

Even if the two of them were involved with the behemoth of Lizong, Ba Fenghan's murderous intent towards them still never weakened.

It's just that three years have passed, Zhao Zetao's cultivation has reached the fourth order, Li Xiuwen has also reached the third order Mahayana, but Ba Fenghan has fallen two realms in a row.

Even if there was no Lizong in the middle, it would be very difficult to kill them.

At the moment, the only thing he can leverage is Xue Zang, and the Hidden Air Stone is of great use to Xue Zang, and now he can only wait for Xue Zang to recover as soon as possible, and then think about it in the long run.

Since there was no longer any need to follow, Ba Fenghan took one last deep look at them, and then turned to leave.

On the street in front of Zizhuyuan, Li Xiuwen, who was talking about the rabbit woman with his companions, suddenly looked at the corner where Ba Fenghan was before.

Zhao Zetao saw that he was inexplicably silent, and raised his hand to pat the back of Li Xiuwen's head: "Aren't you afraid of suffocating to death halfway through the words?"

Li Xiuwen retracted his gaze, rubbed his head, and muttered, "I suddenly had a feeling just now, it seems that Big Brother Ba is looking at us." ”

As soon as his voice fell, he slapped Zhao Zetao again: "What big brother, no one is allowed to mention his name in the future, and he died three years ago!"

After Zhao Zetao said these words with a dark face, he walked along the street without looking back.

Li Xiuwen still looked at the corner from time to time, rubbing his head and muttering: "But the feeling just now is obviously very strong, it's really strange...... Brother Zhao, you wait for me!"

When he looked up, he found that Zhao Zetao had already walked away, so he immediately left these behind and chased after him.

......

On the way back to the inn, Ba Fenghan called Xue Zang several times, but there was no response, so he had no choice but to give up.

When passing through an intersection, there was a sudden commotion from the crowd in front of them.

Ba Fenghan immediately looked up, only to see several armor soldiers in the crowd arresting a man with a bloody face.

At this time, the man had been pressed to the ground by two armor soldiers and put on a leg cuff.

Although the man was unkempt and blood was still dripping from his mouth, Bai Fenghan felt a hint of familiarity.

He stepped forward quickly, and after cutting through the crowd of onlookers, he saw the man's face clearly, it was one of the sailors he had seen sneaking to the City God Temple that day.

His tongue was cut off at some point, and his face was painful and hideous, and he vomited blood and wanted to say something, but in the end he could only babble.

"Ordered to arrest the important culprits of the imperial court, and the idle people will disperse!" After the leader of the armor soldier retreated from the crowd of onlookers, he and several other companions escorted him to the south of the city.

Ba Fenghan looked at them in the distance thoughtfully, then changed direction and went to the south of the city.

Now that the City God Temple has been surrounded by troops sent by the government, there are many people watching the excitement nearby, as long as they are not close to within ten meters, the guards will not say anything to retreat.

Ba Fenghan suddenly spotted a familiar woman's back in the crowd of onlookers, and then quickly stepped forward and held the woman's arm.

The woman was taken aback, and was about to break free, but after seeing that it was Ba Fenghan, she let her pull her to the mouth of a street alley.

The woman in front of her was Cheng Xue who left the inn.

Ba Feng said in a deep voice: "Why did you come here alone?"

Cheng Xue rubbed his painful wrist, and said angrily: "I'm bored at the inn, I was going to look for you." ”

"You don't even know where I've gone, how do you find me?"

"It's the first day of the fair, didn't you go there?"

"I went to the fair, but how did you end up here?"

"Listen to me first. Cheng Xue continued, "I was going to the trade fair, but I didn't have the registration information and couldn't get in at all. Later, when I was waiting for you nearby, I heard a vendor talking about sailors, and after I asked, I found out that those sailors were spreading the news that they came from the Southern Continent and came to Hanxiao City to trade because they were received by the government, but with the caravan shipwrecked, they would be wiped out by the government, and I heard that the government was sending troops to arrest the people who spread rumors. I don't know when you'll be able to come out, so I thought I'd come over and see where things have got. ”

Ba Feng said in a deep voice: "Have you ever thought that you went to the gate of the City God Temple that night, and although the eyeliner that followed you was dead, did anyone else see you?

Cheng Xue looked down at her toes, like an aggrieved child, and said, "It's been many days, and I'm still fine now, no one else will see it that night." ”

"In case," Bafenghan said, "I know you're smart, but sometimes that 'one' word can kill people. ”

"I know it's wrong," Cheng Xue looked up at him, "Then what next?"

Ba Fenghan glanced at the heavily guarded City God Temple and said, "Those sailors are not necessarily inside, I came here after I saw a captured sailor on the street.

Now that the news has spread, it is up to them to survive or not, and we have shown that we will not interfere in this matter, and we have no ability to save them. ”

Ba Fenghan continued: "Let's go back to the inn first and wait and see what happens. ”

Cheng Xue nodded.

When Ba Fenghan was around, she could think about a lot of things less.

On the way back, a vendor selling sugar gourds approached and asked them to buy a string of sugar gourds.

The peddler was dressed in a thin patch linen clothes, a little pitiful, but with long sharp-beaked monkey gills and a pair of small eyes, it was really unpleasant, but Cheng Xue was penniless, so he could only cast a distressed gaze at Ba Fenghan.

Ba Fenghan didn't have a copper plate, so he had to take out a hundred taels of silver tickets.

The peddler said angrily: "This master is sincere and embarrassed, my sugar gourd is ten cents a string, you take out a hundred taels, where can I change it!

Ba Feng smiled bitterly: "It's not to embarrass you, there are really no copper coins." ”

The vendor pulled a string of sugar gourds from the pole and said, "Forget it, today is the first day of my opening, and this string of sugar gourds will be given to this beautiful young lady, hoping to borrow the light of the young lady to make my business prosperous." As he spoke, he handed the sugar gourd to Cheng Xue.

Cheng Xue didn't shirk it, and said thank you after taking it with a smile.

The two continued to walk along the street, and there was a loud shout from the hawker behind them: Sugar gourd, big and sweet, people's hearts, evil and sinister. After eating the sugar gourd, there is no danger, and it is safe.
