Chapter 59: The Man in Black

When Han Lingxiao opened his eyes the next morning, the sunlight had already shone into the cave, he stood up straight and stretched, waking up the old black mule and the orchid, and then he smelled a burnt smell, he walked out of the cave and found that the big stone next to him was full of pasta and fruits, as well as all kinds of roasted mountain fowl. Then he was even more surprised to see several bandits kneeling behind the big rocks, and when they saw him come out, they all kowtowed.

Wan Lan couldn't help but be surprised when she saw this scene, she didn't expect that they really regarded Han Lingxiao as a god.

Xiao Heng walked up to him and respectfully asked him to sit down, Han Lingxiao was also unceremoniously, sat on the ground and began to eat and drink, he hadn't eaten so many good things for a long time these days. The bandits brought a large pot of cut grass and put it at the feet of the black mule for it to eat.

"Come on!" he looked back at Lan Lan, who was stunned on the side, and beckoned her to come over to eat. Lan glanced at Xiao Heng, sat down a little uncomfortably, but did not move her chopsticks, but looked at the food on the table vigilantly, and saw that Han Lingxiao had been eating for a long time before she carefully picked up a piece of cake and took a small bite.

"These are all gathered by everyone to worship the king, don't you know if you are in harmony with the king, your appetite?" Xiao Heng asked cautiously.

"Well, it's okay," Han Lingxiao nodded with satisfaction, and then asked: "In the future, when we go out on the march, everything must be simple, and I will eat whatever everyone eats, so I don't have to spend so much money." ”

"Yes!" Xiao Heng listened to his words with some emotion.

"Are your men ready to go?"

"Ready, they're waiting for the king's order!"

After Han Lingxiao ate and drank enough, he rode on the black mule, and he asked Xiao Heng to find a horse for Ling Lan to ride. The bandits had already packed their bags and gathered on both sides of the valley, and Xiao Heng motioned for the two little bandits to raise a large flag, explaining that he had made it for his brothers to stay up all night to work.

Han Lingxiao looked at the big black flag tied to the bamboo pole, and in the center of the flag was a black mule head made of gold wire, and the golden pupils looked even more unfathomable in the sunlight.

Han Lingxiao nodded in agreement, but he was helpless in his heart, but now in order to hurry as soon as possible, he had no choice but to let them make trouble.

He looked at the gang of bandits, all of them were dressed in coarse linen clothes, holding scrap copper and rotten iron, some of them were wearing their heads, their breasts were exposed, their faces were full of stubble, some were missing arms and legs, and they were sick and crooked with wooden sticks, and some were extremely excited, baring their teeth as if they were going to the temple fair......

He sighed secretly in his heart, looking at the vast green Pingshui Valley in front of him and the snow-capped mountains as high as a horizontal wall in the distance, and sadly hoped that he would soon see the border of Wuguo.

***************

Central Boundary, Tianhuang City.

Xia Yuqian has been a little restless in the past two days, and the girls around her are fiercely discussing the young master of Xuanwuling Mansion who came from Heng Kingdom, as well as his sister named Yuanying.

She remembered the words of Wuxian before she died: "If you can live, hand this over to Xuanwu Ling Mansion and give it to Yuan Ying, she is my daughter." ”

Although some time had passed since this incident, every time she recalled the strange events that happened that night and the golden jade knife that was no longer in her hand, she still felt creepy and her eyebrows were cold.

At dinner time, she took the initiative to apply to deliver food to Yuan Ying, because Yuan Ying is usually very picky, so no one is competing with her for work at this time, but the maids are rushing to send it to Young Master Fengchen.

With the bracelet of the blood cloth bag in her pocket, she came to the door of the guest room where Yuan Ying was, her room was at the westernmost end of the Red Room, and the Dongxuan Pavilion where Shenyu Xuan lived was at the easternmost end, it seemed that Lord Moxian was also afraid that the two families would fight in the Red Fang before making such an arrangement.

Xia Yuqian lingered at the door of the guest room for a long time, thinking about how to explain the ins and outs of all this to her, and after thinking for a long time, she mustered up the courage to knock on the door, but no one responded after a long time.

She sighed a little disappointed, and was about to leave, when she suddenly saw a man in a black cloak and a black hood walking towards her, with a sword pinned to his waist and tightly wrapped around his body.

Xia Yuqian hurriedly lowered her head and pretended to pass by, but she could still feel that the person's gaze swept over her tightly when the two passed by. She didn't dare to look up, only to see a long scar on the tiger's mouth where the man's exposed hand was.

The man knocked on the door of the guest room opposite Yuanying and walked in. Xia Yuqian knew that she should leave, but she turned back like a demon, she remembered that the room opposite Yuan Ying should be the young master Fengchen who saved her.

"Young Master, Miss. The man in black walked through a hollow carved hallway and saluted the young man and woman sitting in the middle of the room.

"The thing that dragged you to do it has been clearly written in the letter, and the reward will naturally be indispensable to you after it is done," Feng Chen's eyes were still clear, and he looked at him intently, "This is the first time to conduct an underground transaction with your Red Fang Dark Market, I hope the result will not disappoint us." ”

"Don't worry, even if it's a person from the Divine Mansion, it will be difficult to fly if it falls on the territory of our Red Place!"

Xia Yuqian, who was at the door, vaguely heard the word "Shenfu", and couldn't help but be shocked, and her hand holding the plate trembled. She was about to leave, but the door suddenly opened, and the man in black almost bumped into her, Xia Yuqian saw the bloodshot eyes of the man in black, and then his hand suddenly pressed on the sword.

"I'm here to find Miss Yuanying!" Xia Yuqian hurriedly shouted when she saw that he had made a killing move.

Yuan Ying heard the sound and walked out, the man in black gestured to Yuan Ying with his eyes, as if to warn her that Xia Yuqian might have heard their conversation, Yuan Ying looked her up and down, although she felt a little familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it.

"I'm here to deliver food to Miss, I'm ...... I have something for Miss!" she hurriedly explained.

"Come in. Yuan Ying shrugged her shoulders and motioned for the man in black to leave. The man in black glared at Xia Yuqian again before leaving, as if to warn her.

Xia Yuqian walked into the house and saw Fengchen sitting in a precarious position with a handsome face.

"Young Master. She bowed her head and saluted.

"Just put that on the table. Yuan Ying pointed to the plate in her hand and said.

"Yes...... Oh!" Xia Yuqian put down her meal, and suddenly knelt in front of Fengchen with a "flutter" as if she remembered something.

Both of them were taken aback by her, and Xia Yuqian hurriedly explained: "The young master saved my life last time, and I haven't had time to thank you yet...... Please accept my Xia Yuqian's worship!" she raised her hands above her head a little awkwardly, and kowtowed to Fengchen as the people in their village worshipped the gods when they worshipped.

Feng Chen was so shocked that he bounced up from the chair, he was confused by this little girl, and hurriedly stepped forward to help her, and when he approached, he saw her face, and only then did he remember the incident that blocked the breeze that night.

"It's okay, it's just a gesture. He pulled her up a little crampedly.

"Brother Fengchen just can't get used to those arrogant and domineering people who kill innocents indiscriminately, you just keep this kindness in your heart, you don't need to mention it again," Yuan Ying also stepped forward and stroked Xia Yuqian's back, "By the way, little sister, what did you just say you wanted to give me?"

Xia Yuqian took out the bloody cloth from her pocket and handed it to Yuan Ying a little nervously, Yuan Ying's face changed instantly, she took the cloth, opened it, and recognized the pattern of the blood lotus at a glance - it was the emblem of their Hanche Gate!
