Chapter 190: False Road to the east of the city, turning the road to the west
Lu Yi couldn't help but look at Xiao Qingyun's back and shook his head and smiled bitterly, he said that this guy is quite interesting, but he is a little more colorful.
After sighing, Lu Yi stretched out his hand to untie the package on the table, and saw that there were several delicate human skin masks inside, as well as some disguised wigs, beards, glue and other things.
Lu Yi stretched out his hand and touched the texture of the human skin mask, which was not bad, and he was very satisfied, so he hurriedly tied the package back on his back, and then went out and strode towards the main hall.
At this time, Ji Jinjie, He Jilin and other altar masters were already waiting in the hall, they thought that Lu Yi had a task to order, but they couldn't see Lu Yi's people left and right, and when several people were anxiously following the ants on the hot pot, they finally saw Lu Yi's figure.
When Lu Yi stepped into the main hall, the sharp-eyed Guo Weigang couldn't help but point to the package on Lu Yi's back and asked, "Young master, what are you doing here?" ”
At this time, other people also saw Lu Yi's dress, and asked Lu Yi why he packed his bags?
Lu Yi pressed his hand and motioned for everyone to sit down and speak, and after everyone quieted down, he smiled and said: "Brothers, Mr. Xie handed over the affairs in the rudder to me when he left, and I should have stayed with you, but I am young and ignorant, and my reputation is low, and I don't have the ability to take charge of a huge rudder, plus there are other important things to do, so I ask you brothers to take care of them more." ”
"Young master, do you really want to leave?" Ding Fan hurriedly asked. Although the contact time has not been long, he has long been impressed by Lu Yi's ability.
Lu Yi smiled and nodded: "Yes, now I'm here to say goodbye to everyone, and I have to leave after everyone elects a brother to temporarily take charge of the affairs at the helm." ”
Jiang Zhen also hurriedly said, "Young master, where are you going?" Why are you in such a hurry? ”
Lu Yi said: "Not long ago, I had an appointment with a few friends to go to Jinling, and now it is almost the appointed day, so in order to avoid losing trust, I will leave tonight." ”
Among the crowd, He Jilin was a little more stable, and the questions he considered were more comprehensive, hearing that Lu Yi was in such a hurry to leave, he said with some concern: "Young master, looking at the current situation of the helm, where is there a suitable candidate for the position of the helmsman for the time being besides you?" And in the current situation, if you and the helmsman are not there for you, once something like last night happens, I'm afraid we won't be able to deal with it! ”
In fact, what He Jilin said was still relatively vague, but everyone understood what he meant, he was worried that the beggars would come back to make trouble, or that the people of Jinyiwei would go and return, which was what everyone was most worried about.
Lu Yi didn't understand what He Jilin meant, but he already had a countermeasure, and said with a slight smile: "You don't have to worry about this at all, first, Xiao Qingyun has already rolled up and left just now, and secondly, I will hand over two simple formations to you later, if there is really a strong enemy coming, even if these two formations can't trap them, at least they can delay them and give everyone enough time to evacuate." ”
Everyone had seen the power of the formation laid by Lu Yi last night, and even masters like "Admiralty Spear" Wu Ba and "Wen Beggar" Zhu Jilong were helpless, and they could stop many enemies in the future.
If the person who came was even more powerful than Wu Ba, the "Admiralty Spear", even if Lu Yi and Xie Qingfeng were here, I am afraid it would be useless, and then they could only consider themselves unlucky and hurry up.
As for when Xiao Qingyun left, everyone didn't care too much, anyway, this guy was a plague god, and it is estimated that there would be more than half fewer people who came to make trouble after he left.
Lu Yi saw that everyone's expressions were back to normal, so he smiled and said, "Otherwise, I won't assign anyone to handle the affairs of the rudder in my place tonight, how about we all vote?" ”
Lu Yi felt that his proposal was very good, but there were very few responders, which could not be blamed on everyone, but because Xie Qingfeng had never used this method.
In fact, Xie Qingfeng is not an arbitrary person, but his style of doing things is to put forward a candidate, let everyone express their opinions for or against, and then make a final decision, like Lu Yi's complete delegation of power to everyone is unimaginable.
Helplessly, Lu Yi had to compromise and adopt Xie Qingfeng's usual method, and said with a smile: "In this case, then I will propose a candidate first, I think Ji Lin is still very stable in dealing with people, and he is also very thoughtful, so he will temporarily act as the helmsman!" ”
As soon as Lu Yi's words fell, Ji Jinjie hurriedly expressed his support, not because he intended to pat Lu Yi's sycophants, but because he was usually the most familiar with He Jilin, knew He Jilin's personality, and admired He Jilin from the bottom of his heart.
The others secretly weighed it in their hearts, and also felt that it was most appropriate for He Jilin to temporarily act as the helmsman in this case, and they all agreed, and the matter was quickly determined.
After this matter was done, Lu Yi called Ding Fan and others to teach everyone a set of gossip formations and a set of five-element sword formations, the gossip formations were very similar to the positive and negative four-elephant arrays, Ding Fan and the others quickly understood the general situation, but they encountered a little trouble when teaching everyone to practice the five-element sword formation.
After all, the Bagua Array is static, and it only needs to be arranged in the inner courtyard according to Lu Yi's explanation. The Five Elements Sword Formation requires everyone's cooperation in the drill, and the blades used by several people in Ding Fan and the others are not long swords, so they are not so easy to cooperate.
Lu Yi also knew that it was impossible to teach everyone in a hurry, so he simply taught everyone a rough idea, seeing that everyone was able to practice this set of formations when they stumbled, and as for the power of the formation, they couldn't force it too much at this time.
After arranging all this, Lu Yi called everyone together again and said: "Brothers, I have been getting along with you very well in the past two days, but there are really important things to do in the next place and I can't stay here too much, but don't worry, we will definitely meet again in the future, don't leave it today!" ”
At this time, the sky had gradually darkened, and He Jilin and the others saw that Lu Yi had already made up their minds and could not forcibly keep him, so they could only reluctantly send Lu Yi to the door, and watched Lu Yi's figure disappear into the night.
However, it was said that after Lu Yi turned out of Yanling, he did not really go east in the direction of Jinling, but went around from the north of the city to the south of the city, looking all the way to the west.
The reason why Lu Yi left Yanling in a hurry was that he planned to follow Xie Qingfeng and others to Chengdu to find out, as for going to Jinling to make an appointment, it was more than four months later, and it took four months to rush from Yanling to Chengdu and then from Chengdu to Jinling, even if it was not a big problem to run two more round-trips.
According to Ding Fan, there is only one official road from Yanling to the west, and if Xie Qingfeng and others want to rush to Chengdu as soon as possible, they will definitely take the official road to the west, pass through Nanyang and Xiangyang to Jingzhou, and then take a boat from Jingzhou to Chongqing, and then go to Chengdu after going ashore from Chongqing.
Lu Yi didn't have a topographic map of mountains and rivers in his hand, so he could only go west by feeling, but fortunately, what Ding Fan prepared for him was a horse, and the horsewhip was raised and galloped along the official road, less than a quarter of an hour, and when he looked back at Yan Ling, there were only sporadic lights left behind him.
Xie Qingfeng and the three of them had been gone for less than an hour and a half, who knew that Lu Yi chased along the official road for more than an hour, but he didn't even see a figure, seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, and it was estimated that he would miss even the head of the house if he went any further, so he had to continue to walk forward for another journey, and simply stayed in this town called Yingyang.
Yingyang Town is not big, the whole town is a road from the east end of the town to the west end, it is only the time of day, there are not many pedestrians in the town, only the restaurant at the entrance of the town and the inn in the middle of the town are still lit, Lu Yi led the horse to the inn, bolted the horse to the door and walked in.
As soon as he pushed the door open, a sultry atmosphere suddenly came to his face, and it was estimated that the business of the inn was not very good, so a shopkeeper sat listlessly behind the counter, and he didn't bother to say hello when he saw someone pushing the door and walking in, and after glancing at Lu Yi, he continued to yawn.
Lu Yi walked to the counter, stretched out his hand and patted it on the counter, "Is there a room yet, I want to stay in the hotel!" ”
The shopkeeper opened his eyes very reluctantly, took out a key and threw it on the counter, pointed to the direction of the staircase and said, "Ten cents, go upstairs on the second floor and turn left for the third room." ”
Lu Yi couldn't help but feel a little angry when he saw the appearance of the shopkeeper, but when he thought that he would meet this inn along the way, he would simply get it for one night, so he reached out and took out a piece of broken silver and threw it on the table and said, "Remember to feed the horse at the door!" ”
The shopkeeper was sleepy and his head went straight to the counter, seeing that Lu Yi had so many things, he couldn't help but roll his eyes, and was about to say something ugly, when he suddenly glanced at the silver shining silver on the table, and in an instant his face was replaced with a courteous smile, and he stood up from behind the counter with a thud, and then trotted out of it and came to Lu Yi, and said attentively: "Guest officer, don't worry, I will help you feed the horse, and ensure that it is better than what I eat!" The little ones will be sent upstairs first! As he spoke, he couldn't help but look at the bulging package in Lu Yi's hand.
Lu Yi couldn't help but feel a little funny when he saw the shopkeeper after seeing the silver, and swept away the previous drowsiness after seeing the silver, looking like a villain in the market, and waved his hand to him and said, "I'll just go upstairs by myself, are you still afraid that I won't be able to find a room?" You'd better lead my horse to the backyard and feed it first! ”
The shopkeeper hurriedly agreed, carefully stuffed the silver into his arms, and walked out of the door happily, humming a little song as he walked.
Lu Yi looked at the back of the shopkeeper, couldn't help but shake his head and smiled bitterly, then turned around and went upstairs, followed the instructions of the shopkeeper to find the third room on the left, opened the lock with the key, pushed the door open and walked in.
As soon as he entered the room, he smelled a musty smell, he couldn't help but reach out and fan it a few times in front of his nose, hold his breath and feel the fire fold to shine, light the half of the candle on the table, and then open all the windows in the room, and then take a few breaths of fresh air outside the window.
Lu Yi glanced around a few times, and was about to leave from the window, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of several black shadows flashing from the backyard, and his heart moved and he was about to take a look, when he heard squeaky footsteps outside the door, and then heard the voice of the shopkeeper at the door: "The guest officer is troublesome to open the door, the little one just brought you cold well water from the well in the backyard." ”
