Chapter 486: A Chance Encounter with a National Teacher

After two days of preparation, it was finally the twenty-fifth day of the winter moon.

The personnel who plan to follow Xiao Ding on the road are all ready. Ou Muyun finally rushed to two days, and copied down all the family heirlooms of their Imperial Sword Villa and left it to his sister Ou Mulin.

Before leaving, Erniu also handed over the box of gold to Zhao Laixi for safekeeping and disposal. She only brought a few changes of clothes with her.

In addition to bringing a carry-on package, Xiao'e also carried an extra jar. When Xiao Ding asked, he found out that the jar was filled with the little green snake that Xiao'e raised was hibernating.

This little green snake saved Xiao'e, so Xiao'e likes it very much.

Bai Junfei and Liu San didn't bring much with them when they came, and now they are leaving, only bringing some clothes and the like.

The crowd sat in two carriages. A car for men and a car for women. It's not a lot of people, but it's not crowded. But in winter, if you huddle together, it will be warmer.

The Tian family has a lot of horses and carriages, and the last time Xiao Ding came back, he brought back three carriages together, and his family also had three carts selling vegetables before. Not to mention the horses, all of which were now fattened and strong from the Luoxia Mountains.

In order to prevent these horses from declining their physical strength after feeding for a long time, Zhao Hu and the others would often take these horses out for a walk when they were free.

When everything was ready, everyone waved goodbye. It was still Liu San who drove a car, and Bai Junfei drove a car.

Two luxury carriages passed by the village, and the people in the village were all amazed, saying that Tian Dabao's stupid son is now soaring.

Tian Caishen sat in the courtyard and saw Xiao Ding's two carriages driving past the door, and couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart. He also didn't expect that this fool of Tian Dabao's family, who was disliked by everyone at the beginning, would actually soar to the sky one day!

The two carriages galloped all the way, kicking up dust all the way in the cold winter day.

Two days later, the carriage drove into Yongzhou City.

Yongzhou City is still prosperous, although the Yongzhou border pass has been fighting for more than half a year this year, but this year the border pass has Huang Wenlong's personal defense and command of the operation, and the Great Xia State has attacked for more than half a year, and the soldiers have been lost, and they have not reaped the slightest benefit.

The war at the border pass had a slight impact on the people of Yongzhou City, but the impact was not great. There was no large conscription this year, because the military salary allocated by the imperial court was limited and could not afford to support too many soldiers. As a result, the people continue to live their lives day in and day out. Those who should have money are still rich, and those who should not have money are still not rich.

In the city of Yongzhou, there is a large flow of people, and the carriages and horses can only move slowly.

Xiao Ding sat in the car and looked out at the street through the window. I saw the flow of people on the street, the river was endless, buying and selling, bustling.

In the crowd of people, Xiao Ding suddenly found a familiar figure.

It was a tall and thin Taoist, dressed in a gray Taoist robe, holding a dusty hand, with a black hair under his chin, and a fairy style of Dao bones. It's just that when he walks, his butt always twists unnaturally, which is incompatible with his fairy temperament, and it looks very funny.

Xiao Ding recognized this Taoist at a glance, isn't this Li Wantong, the national teacher of the Great Xia Kingdom? How did he run away to the territory of the Great Song Kingdom?

At the beginning, he came to the camp of the Xiang army with a big burden to poison him, but he was found and almost caught, and then escaped by luck, but his ass was shot by Xiao Ding with a crossbow. After going back, although he was cured of the arrow wound, he was left with a sequelae, that is, when he walked, his butt would always twist unconsciously.

Regarding this matter, Li Wantong hated Xiao Ding very much. You know, what he suffered at the beginning was extraordinary!

At this time, Li Wantong was also slowly walking forward with the flow of people, and he didn't notice that Xiao Ding had found him in the carriage.

Xiao Ding couldn't figure out what was the purpose of Li Wantong's coming to the territory of the Great Song Kingdom? Therefore, he had already raised his vigilance in his heart, thinking that he still needed to buy some materials needed on the road in Yongzhou City this time, so he told Liu San to find an inn to live in first.

At the same time, he also wanted to use the time he lived to find out what Li Wantong wanted to do when he mixed into the Great Song Kingdom?

After all, he is the national teacher of the Great Xia Kingdom, and his identity is not ordinary, if he comes to spy on some secrets of the Great Song Kingdom, or colludes with some officials of the Great Song Kingdom, then he will definitely not be able to stand idly by. No matter what you say, you can be regarded as a senior civil servant of the Great Song Kingdom, and with the national wealth of the Great Song Kingdom, you can't watch others come to the Great Song Kingdom to make trouble.

Xiao Ding immediately told Liu San to go to an inn he designated to open a room and live in it first, and he himself had to jump out of the carriage to do something.

For Yongzhou City, Xiao Ding has passed through several times and has lived in this city, so he has a familiar inn.

After jumping out of the carriage, he blended in with the crowd and followed Li Wantong. I want to see where he will end up going.

Li Wantong didn't know that Xiao Ding was secretly following him, he twisted his shriveled ass and walked forward, and he didn't buy goods, just walked all the way forward.

Xiao Ding had no choice but to follow. Fortunately, there were many people on the street, and it was impossible for Li Wantong to know that among so many people, there would be one person who was following him.

He came all the way to a restaurant, and then walked into the restaurant.

Xiao Ding was also worried that he would be recognized by Li Wantong after entering the restaurant, so he bought a hat on the side of the road and wore it on the top of his head, with a wide brim just enough to cover most of his face.

He followed Li Wantong and entered the restaurant. After scanning the external sense, he found that Li Wantong was sitting in a private room on the second floor drinking tea at this time.

Xiao Ding asked Xiao Er for the private room next to Li Wantong, and then ordered a few meals casually.

At this time, it was almost noon, and it was the time when there were many people in the restaurant, and the business of this restaurant was still very good, and it didn't take long for the hall on the first floor and the private room on the second floor to be almost all full.

At this time, all the meals that Li Wantong and Xiaoding wanted were also served. Both of them were eating and drinking in their private rooms.

Xiao Ding's divine sense swept over the next door and found that this old way was actually not taboo, he asked for several kinds of chicken, duck and fish, and at the same time asked for a pot of soju, eating and drinking with relish.

Seeing that Lao Dao was eating so deliciously, Xiao Ding also began to feast. waited until Lao Dao finished eating and settled the account, and Xiao Ding also followed behind to settle the account.

After the two left the restaurant, Li Wantong walked around the street, and finally walked in the direction of the northwest corner of the city.

After leaving the main street, the flow of people on the street gradually decreased, and Xiao Ding followed him a lot more carefully.

Most of the time, he used his divine sense to lock on to Li Wantong's location, while he himself hid in the shadows and did not show his face.

Only Li Wantong's figure was about to be out of the range of his divine sense, and he quickly took a few steps forward to follow.

When Li Wantong came to the outside of a compound in the northwest corner of Yongzhou City, Xiao Ding saw it clearly. At the gate of this courtyard, there is a tall archway, and there is a big plaque on it, and the plaque reads "Tianwu Gate" three big characters.

It turns out that this is the location of the sect of Yongzhou Tianwu Gate!

For Tianwumen, Xiao Ding has also heard of it. At the beginning, the Imperial Sword Villa was destroyed by Tianluomen, and Ou Shanfu, an old servant of the Ou family, led the Ou family brothers and sisters to follow the advice of the owner Ou Pengfei and wanted to seek refuge in Tianwumen. As a result, the old man came to Tianwumen with his two children, but was turned away by the people of Tianwumen. Therefore, after they heard that there were artifacts in Luoxia Mountain, they rushed to Luoxia Mountain, and only then did they have an encounter with Xiaoding.

However, after Li Wantong came to the vicinity of Tianwu Gate, he did not come forward to call the door, but quietly looked at the gate of Tianwu Gate, and then circled around the outside of the wall of the Tianwu Gate compound several times. Finally turned and left.

Xiao Ding has been hiding in the dark and observing, wondering what this old way wants to do? If it is said that he has colluded with the people of the Tianwu Sect, then why doesn't he enter the sect? If he wanted to do something wrong to Tianwumen, it was possible.

Usually, before committing a crime, Jianghu people will first step on the spot, that is, to check the terrain, which is called "stepping on a plate" in the black language of Jianghu people.

Generally speaking, it is only after stepping on the plate during the day that you will actually act at night.

It seems that this old Dao will definitely make some big moves here in Tianwumen tonight. Xiao Ding secretly speculated in his heart.

Now that he knew that Lao Dao was going to make a move here in Tianwumen tonight, Xiao Ding didn't plan to continue to follow this Lao Dao. Just come over at night and wait for the rabbit.

So he turned around and left, walking towards the inn where he had told Liu San in advance.

After entering the inn, he asked Xiao Er about the room opened by Liu San. He walked straight over.

Liu San opened a total of two first-class bedrooms. There is one room for men and one room for women.

This superior bedroom is the kind of suite that is divided into rooms and outside, although there are at least four people in each room, but the room is spacious, and you only need to ask Xiao Er to add an extra big bed.

There are a total of nine people in Xiaoding's group, four men and four women, plus a child Tiedan. Among them, three men and women are husband and wife, only Ou Muyun and Xiao'e are not yet, but it seems that they are also interested in each other.

Ou Muyun used the piece of meteorite iron that Xiao Ding brought back from Luoxia Mountain to make two meteorite swords, kept one for himself and gave one to Xiao'e, not even his own sister, which is enough to explain a lot of problems.

All he gave to Omulin was a meteoric iron dagger made from the leftovers. It can be seen that in his heart, Xiao'e's position is even higher than that of his sister.

Jiang's son Tiedan, because he was still young, lived with Jiang in the room of the maiden at night. Xiao Ding's side is inhabited by Bai Junfei, Ou Muyun, and Liu San.

Xiao Ding deliberately looked at Erniu's expression and found that although she was still lonely, there was no trace of crying on her face. It seems that she did not continue to cry along the way. Maybe it's because there are others around her, or maybe it's because the women of them are walking and chatting together, and with the topic of attraction, she doesn't think about those sad things for the time being.

As long as the second girl doesn't cry, Xiaoding will let go of a lot of heart. My heart will also feel a little better.

In the afternoon, Xiao Ding took out the money and distributed it to everyone, so that everyone could go to the street to buy some supplies needed for the road, especially tents, bedding, food, and forage for feeding the horses.

For what is needed on the road, Liu San knows best. Jiang and Bai Junfei can also know a little. So when they go out shopping together, they can't make a mistake.

After waiting for more than an hour, Liu San and the others all came back from shopping, and came back with a large cart full. In particular, the forage for feeding the horses takes up a lot of space, and Liu San still ties all the forage to the roof of the canopy like the last time he came back.

When he came back last time, Xiao Ding was still unable to use the jade pendant space, so many items needed to be pulled by a carriage.

This time it was different, just in everyone's amazement, Xiao Ding put all the items into the jade pendant space. In this way, not only can there be space in the car, but the horses will not have to worry about pulling the cart because they are carrying too much weight.

After Xiao Ding helped everyone explain the matter of the jade pendant space, everyone withdrew their surprised gaze.

For dinner, everyone ate in the inn, in fact, for lunch, except for Xiaoding, everyone else also ate in the inn.

By the time dinner had passed, it was dark. Xiao Ding decided to go to the vicinity of Tianwu Gate as soon as possible and wait for Li Wantong to go.

So he told everyone that he had something to go out to do, and let them rest in the inn and not go out to cause trouble. Then he went in the direction of Tianwu Gate alone.

When he arrived near the Tianwu Gate, Xiao Ding released his senses, scanned it, and found that everything was normal whether it was inside or outside the hospital, and it seemed that nothing had happened at present.

So he was relieved, it seems that Li Wantong has not come yet. I saw a big tree near the wall, with dense branches, although the leaves had already fallen, but at night, hiding on it, it should not be easy to be discovered.

He came to the bottom of the tree, performed a light body technique, jumped on the branch with his body fluttering, and then drilled between the dense branches, released his divine sense, always paid attention to the situation nearby, waited for the rabbit, and waited for Li Wantong to arrive.

Sure enough, when it was almost the third watch, Li Wantong's figure suddenly appeared in Xiao Ding's consciousness.

Xiao Ding sat on the tree and was about to fall asleep, when he found Li Wantong, he immediately woke up a little. opened his eyes and looked at Li Wantong's figure.

I saw Li Wantong lightly come to the outside of a wall he had inspected during the day, and jumped up slightly, and his body had already jumped onto the wall.

Then he cleverly jumped into the hospital. Xiao Ding didn't jump into the courtyard with him, but just locked on to his figure with his divine sense to see what he wanted to do.

After Li Wantong jumped into the courtyard, he walked lightly towards the dark place, and it didn't take long for an unlucky guy from Tianwumen to go to the thatched house, but he was bumped into by Li Wantong, and he went up and slashed at the guy's neck with a palm. Directly cut the man unconscious. Then he picked up the man and jumped out of the wall the way he came.

Xiao Ding hid in the tree and wondered, and said secretly, what is this Li Wantong going to do to rob the disciples of Tianwumen?
