Chapter 286: Bargging
found that there was someone behind him, and it started when he left Xijing City.
The cavalry team of ten people who originally "escorted" him away was reduced to two people and two horsemen, but Zuo Qiyang did not feel relaxed at all.
Along the way, he deliberately curryed favor with the two guards who followed him on the left and right, and on the other hand, he paid attention to where the chill on his back came from.
By the time he finally confirmed that he was being followed, the three of them had slowly arrived at the boundary of Gaoxiang Town.
So he proposed that the three of them rest in the tavern for a while, as if knowing that his task was finally about to be completed, and the two guards who came out of the palace relaxed their guards, and without thinking too much, they agreed in one gulp.
This gave Zuo Qiyang the opportunity to meet the person who followed him like a shadow.
The man hid his whereabouts extremely well along the way, Zuo Qiyang could hardly find any trace of him, and only guessed where he might be hiding based on his years of experience in training the dark line to cultivate the dead.
But in this case, he was only barely sure that someone was following him, and as for whether this person was friend or foe, he couldn't tell at all.
But one thing is certain—this person must not be Emperor Yan's man.
At this moment, as long as someone who is not Emperor Yan is concerned, for him, they are more or less useful.
Thinking of this, Zuo Qiyang couldn't help but smile bitterly - a person who was so good at drilling camps actually ended up in a situation where he was now alone and unavailable, so embarrassed that he wanted to hope that it was very likely that he would be a killer hiding in the shadows who came to take his life?
Zuo Qiyang was thinking about it here, and saw a figure walking out from behind the thick poplar trunk in the distance.
Zuo Qiyang saw the appearance of the person who came, tilted his head slightly, and the look of surprise flashed in his eyes, followed by irrepressible relief and joy - as if he had found a treasure by accident.
Xing Fu looked at Zuo Qiyang's smiling face, but his heart was far less comfortable than his. He didn't understand why Zuo Qiyang didn't have the confusion and vigilance he expected after seeing him, but this didn't mean that a gentle smile from the man in front of him could dissolve the estrangement between the two, so he still had a gloomy face and stepped forward silently.
Zuo Qiyang looked him up and down - he was short brown, he had nothing but a knife on his body, and his eyes were staring at him, but his expression could not hide his tiredness.
Such a dusty appearance is the result of rushing overnight.
"All the way from Tokyo?" Zuo Qiyang came out of nowhere.
Xing Fu nodded, not intending to say anything more to him.
"Coming to me?" Zuo Qiyang asked again.
Xing Fu nodded again, cherishing words like gold. But after thinking about it, he shook his head slightly.
Zuo Qiyang smiled helplessly and said, "I guess you also saw it along the way, I am now guilty of sin, and I can't help myself." It's been a lot of thought to be able to stand here and talk to you alone at this moment, so don't play dumb riddles with me anymore, I don't have the interest to spend it here with you. ”
Xing Fu was slightly stunned when he heard this.
Although he has always been unaccustomed to Zuo Qiyang's eight-sided exquisiteness, he also has to admire his ability to hide his emotions at will in the face of anyone at any time. But as soon as he met him at this time, he was so sharp, and his words were obviously impatient.
Is this telling himself that he has fallen into a desperate situation at the moment, and he can't even put on the hypocritical mask that he has always regarded as the best way to deal with people? Or is he just courting himself in his own way, telling himself that he is on the same side as him at this time and needs to cooperate?
These doubts flashed quickly in Xing Fu's mind, and they were quickly left behind by him.
He has never been a person who is good at observing words and feelings, and he has no intention of playing Tai Chi with Zuo Qiyang.
As Zuo Qiyang said, he didn't have the time to spend here, and he chased him all the way, not to play a guessing game with him.
So Xing Fu got straight to the point and asked, "Where is Xin Zi?" ”
Zuo Qiyang's smile was a little more helpless when he heard this. Dare to love the follower of Tang Yinbrown, who is a first-class light skill, followed him all the way, just to ask himself where Xin Zi went?
Did he think that after Xin Zi left Dongyuan, he came all the way non-stop and couldn't find himself?
But after thinking about it, Xing Fu was afraid that before the accident in Jiamen Pass that night, he completely cut off the news with Tang Yinbrown and Xin Zi, and then with his ability to collect intelligence, he was afraid that at best, he would be able to find out that Tang Yinbrown was dead, and Xin Zi escaped from the Dongyuan capital.
If this is the case, then he can think of the most direct and sensible way to come to him for the first time.
But the headache now is that he can't hand over people.
"People are not with me." Zuo Qiyang replied frankly, looking up at Xing Fu's gaze without flinching.
Xing Fu knew that what he said was true, and he had expected to get such an answer, but when he really heard Zuo Qiyang say it himself, he was inevitably a little depressed in his heart.
Before the accident at Jiamenguan, he and Wang Hu were imprisoned by the accomplices of Tang Yinhao, and by the time he escaped, everything was a foregone conclusion.
He only knew that Xin Zi had left Dongyuan, but he was not sure where he had gone, whether he was dead or alive. The only person he could think of that Xin Zi could defect to was Zuo Qiyang, who was far away in the west.
So he killed all the way to Xijing City, and when he was worrying about how to sneak into Yan's Mansion and find Zuo Qiyang, he saw that he was escorted out of the city by a group of people. There was nowhere to find the iron shoes, so he naturally followed all the way out of Xijing and came to Gaoxiang Town.
But the longer he followed, the more he felt that the situation was not as simple as he had expected.
Zuo Qiyang obviously encountered something, and it was something that even he couldn't control. And more importantly, looking at his lonely appearance, it was obvious that Xin Zi didn't come to him at all.
He was suspecting that he was in the wrong place, and began to retreat, but he was directly arrested by Zuo Qiyang, so he had no choice but to show up and make it clear to him.
Now that the two of them have said everything that should be said, although Xing Fu regrets it, he is not the entangled, he nodded slightly, bowed, and turned around to leave.
Seeing this, Zuo Qiyang shook his head helplessly in his heart, and hurriedly raised his hand to stop him, saying, "But I know where Xin Zi is now." ”
Xing Fu turned his head and looked at him with a frown, his eyes full of dissatisfaction - since he knew, why didn't he say it earlier, hiding it like this, did he want to use this news to bargain with him?
What made Xing Fu stunned was that he had just slandered in his heart, and Zuo Qiyang really did it.
"I can tell you Xin Zi's whereabouts, but there is one condition." (To be continued.) )
