Cui Chun couldn't figure out what she was thinking now, and after secretly guessing for a while, she said vaguely: "Now this hour is when every family starts to cook dinner, look at this Xianhe Restaurant, everyone is full." ”

"I'm not talking about that, I'm trying to say that a lot of people just died there." The young woman's tone was sarcastic, "Just make your own food, don't care about his family's funeral, the life of the people is like this, there is a terrifying tolerance in calm and indifference, this is also human nature!" ”

Cui Chun moved his lips, and there were several words in his heart, but when he spoke, he only picked out the lightest of them: "Madam, the hour is not early." ”

"yes, I know." The young woman nodded, and said in a deep voice: "It is much easier to bring a dead man's head back than to hunt down a living person, but until now, Qingxia has not returned, most of them have not caught up, alas......"

"Madame, don't worry, if you want to catch up with that hunchbacked old man, with Qingxia's ability, even if you encounter some trouble, it will only take a little more time to overcome." Cui Chun was full of sincerity and persuasion.

"Time ......" the young woman's gaze turned back into the rain curtain outside the window and fell on Cuichun's body, "Cuichun, sometimes time is more important than life and death, life and death are a result, and time contains opportunities. ”

She finally walked back to the table, looked at a table of dishes that had run out of heat, and muttered, "I wonder if Qingxia has missed the best opportunity to stay with Liao Shi?" ”

……

The sunny days for nearly ten consecutive days made the second largest capital of Zhaoguo a little impetuous. A spring rain not only weighed down the dust in the city, but also refreshed the residents of Kyoto.

It is a spiritual pleasure that the power of nature transmits to people.

However, in the northern suburbs of Kyoto, there are three people who have just arrived in Kyoto after traveling hundreds of miles, but they have no time to feel this natural contagion, and they are still shocked by what they see in front of them.

Behind a mound covered with thatch, six young men in cloth came out. Their feet were on the dead grass on the ground that had not yet been completely covered with new shoots. But there was only a slight sound. The ordinary texture of cotton and linen clothes wraps around the sturdy body, and between every move, it naturally exudes a tough atmosphere.

After the six men walked to the side of the hill, one of them quickly climbed to the top of the hill. He looked around for a moment, then turned his head and nodded, and one of the five beckoned to the back of the mound where they had been hiding.

After a swaying of blades of grass, three people came out from behind the mound.

One is a thin old man with a slightly rickety back. An intermediaryman with vigilant eyes, a slightly pale complexion, and a thick strip of cloth wrapped around his arm. The other is a young man with a bamboo basket on his back and a scholarly face.

These three people were chased and killed by a group of people as soon as they arrived in Kyoto, and at the critical moment, they suddenly received the support of the six young clothed people. In the end, Liao Shihe, Yan Xingzhi, and Pei Yin, who escaped from Kyoto, were the master and servant.

Pei Yin was armed with martial arts, and Yan Guang sent his servant who had followed him for many years to serve Yan Xingzhi, mainly so that he could protect Yan Xingzhi. But. In this matter, Yan Guang only considered that Yan Xingzhi followed Liao Shi all over the mountain, and might encounter bandits, but he could not expect that when Yan Xingzhi followed Liao Shi to Kyoto. would encounter such a strong group of killers at the feet of the Son of Heaven.

Of course, in the imperial city, he dared to be so arrogant and treat killing people as a work of mowing the grass, presumably that is not what ordinary killers dare to do.

On the way to the chase that had just encountered the group of killers, Pei Yin injured his arm, but fortunately, he fought hard to resist for a moment. Grab the most critical time, and the six young people in cloth who came later had a chance to rescue.

But for these six people, Liao Shi and his party were three until this moment. In the bottom of my heart, I am still unanimously vigilant.

After coming out of the grass where he was hiding, Pei Yin kept an eye on the six people's every move. He knew that he couldn't be the opponent of those six, but that didn't affect him from sticking to the mission that Yan Guang had given him to protect Yan Xing.

Yan Xingzhi didn't think too much about it, and after walking out of the grass, he patted the grass clippings on his body first, and then picked a few grass leaves that stuck to Pei Yin's body. Finally, he walked to Liao Shi's side and pulled up the grass residue on his messy hair.

Liao Shi didn't wait for him to get a few grass residues. He reached out and grabbed his hair vigorously, and now his hair seemed to be uncombed, and his hair was even more messy when it was tied into a small ball like dead grass.

Liao Shi thought of what happened when they hid behind the grass hill just now, in the city, there were a total of seven killers they encountered, and these six cloth-clothed young men chose to kill, but after leaving the city, in the face of the four black-clothed blood-stained killers with panicked expressions, they quickly walked across the path, but they chose to dodge, Liao Shi couldn't help but secretly wonder.

However, before he could speak, one of the six people took a step forward, his sharp and restrained eyes softened slightly, and he said slowly: "Pharmacist, I'll send you here and say goodbye." ”

After the young man in cloth finished speaking, he retreated back to the group of people, and they looked at Liao Shi and his party a few times together, and then turned to leave.

"Pharmacist...... Hehe, it's been a long time since I've heard anyone call me that. ”

The men hadn't gone far when they suddenly heard the voice of the thin old man behind them, but their footsteps only faltered slightly.

Seeing that they had no intention of stopping, Liao Shi chased after him after his eyes, and at the same time said, "What is your relationship with the emperor?" ”

Liao Shi's words were very direct, as if that Tianjiao of the First Country was just a neighbor next door to his house.

But the group of six young men in cloth clothes finally stopped, but only the person who had spoken to Liao Shi just now turned around, looked at Liao Shi, and did not speak, as if waiting for Liao Shi to continue to speak.

Unexpectedly, when the cloth-clothed people were facing each other with their backs just now, Liao Shi rushed to speak, and now the cloth-clothed people were waiting for him to say, but he didn't say a word anymore.

The two looked at each other for a moment, and the cloth-clothed man didn't say a word, and then turned around and was about to leave again.

At this moment, Liao Shi finally spoke again, but his voice was much lower than just now, "Lin Shan...... Nothing happened, right? ”

The young man in cloth who was about to turn around and leave stopped to look at him, a trace of hesitation appeared in his eyes, he was finally willing to speak, and said slowly: "Our ability is limited, but the pharmacist should probably think about making preparations now, if Lord Lin leaves the city, he should be the first to come to you." ”

"Find me......" Liao Shi muttered, a complicated look appeared in his eyes, and when he suddenly came back to his senses, the six people had already gone far away.

Yan Xingzhi walked over, and saw that Liao Shi was just about to speak, when he suddenly heard Liao Shi shouting: "I want to go back to the city!" Catch up with them! ”

Yan Xingzhi was stunned, Liao Shi had already begun to run towards the few figures who were walking far away, Yan Xingzhi was about to take a step when he saw this, and suddenly felt that his arm was being held by a person.

Yan Xingzhi turned his head slightly and saw Pei Yin.

Pei Yin grabbed Yan Xingzhi's shoulder with his uninjured hand, frowned, and said, "You can't go, there are killers in the city." ”

Yan Xingzhi hesitated, Pei Yin's words were right, but the idea in his heart was still to walk with Liao Shi.

Yan Xingzhi thought for a while and said: "Staying here may not be safe, there are killers outside the city, Uncle Pei also saw it just now, maybe it is safe to go back to the city at this time, those killers have either withdrawn, or they still think that we are outside the city, and relax the surveillance inside the city." ”

"Before leaving the Yan Mansion, I will take over the master's entrustment, and I can't let you take risks." While Pei Yin spoke, the hand holding Yan Xingzhi's arm did not let go at all.

"So where do you think we're going now?" Yan Xingzhi's eyes were solemn, "The Qianzhuang seal held by the pharmacist runs through the whole country, and he uses the seal along the way, this is the credential that can protect us to find us, if we don't go with him, will we walk a few hundred miles home?" ”

Pei Yin didn't waver in his thoughts at all, and thought: "Obviously, this kind of news has leaked to the side, so if we follow him now, we will encounter danger again at any time." ”

Yan Xingzhi thought of the question Liao Shi had just asked the cloth-clothed man, and couldn't help frowning, and said in surprise: "This ...... The records used in the seal are not readily known to those who are nearby, can it be said that ......?"

"Don't question anything." Pei Yin lowered his voice, "What Liao Shi asked the cloth-clothed man just now already shows the question you questioned. ”

Yan Xingzhi was stunned, then took a deep breath and muttered, "Could it be that in the court, there is a detailed work?" But grandpa is still there......"

"People with such power may not be as simple as doing it." Pei Yin paused when he said this, and a hesitant look appeared in his eyes, as if he hadn't finished saying anything, but he didn't intend to continue. After looking at him, he turned his words and said, "Young Master, let me take you home!" ”

Pei Yin pulled Yan Xing, but Yan Xingzhi still didn't mean to move, and only hesitated: "Uncle Pei, if your inference is true, then isn't the pharmacist going to death like this?" ”

"Not necessarily......" Pei Yin's voice, which had been steady, suddenly became floating.

As soon as Yan Xingzhi became aware, he suddenly heard Liao Shi's shout.

"You kid, I've only been away for a while when I hear you speak ill of me!" Liao Shi didn't know when he had turned around and returned, and as soon as he approached Yan Xingzhi's side, he directly began to unload the bamboo basket he was carrying, and at the same time he glared at Pei Yin on the side, and said dissatisfiedly: "You, don't talk too much if you don't lie, it's really getting darker and darker." ”

Yan Xingzhi saw that Liao Shi put it on his shoulder after removing the bamboo basket, he had long ignored what Liao Shi said, but he was worried about another thing, and said anxiously: "Pharmacist, you can't go back, it's very dangerous there." ”
