Chapter Seventy-Eight: Exploring the Ferry at Night

As soon as the hour passed, there was not a single figure in sight on the empty streets, and even the entire Riverview Town was difficult to see the lights on. It was silent, and frost could be faintly seen on the ground.

Mo Yanxi and Feng Qi Fan ate and drank to their heart's content, and the old woman hurriedly beckoned Xiao Lian to take them to the room on the second floor. Of course, before leaving, the old woman did not forget to ask for the five taels of gold.

When they went up the stairs, it was dark, and Xiao Lian carried a lantern to bring the two inside.

"Three watches in the middle of the night, sleep peacefully, don't run around. If you leave the Zhennan Inn, then life and death are conceited, and it has nothing to do with us. ”

Xiao Lian pushed open the door and said in the way.

Mo Yanxi nodded: "It's naturally cold, it's the middle of the night, if you don't sleep, what else can you do." ”

"I've seen a lot of travelers coming and going, some come to sleep, and some come because of other things, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and the devil knows what you think."

After Xiao Lian finished speaking, he turned his head and left.

The two of them entered the house and lit the lamp. Mo Yanxi looked left and right, in the guest rooms of the Zhennan Inn, the tables, chairs, beams, and door frames were all made of hundred-year-old ebony, with a faint luster, exuding a fragrance of sunken wood.

"On the second floor, there is no breath of life except us. Those two breaths are thick and condensed, and they are not ordinary people. Tonight, shall we go out and check it out? ”

Mo Yanxi knocked on the table and sneered: "Go out, since everyone knows it in their hearts, then we don't need to hide it." ”

A quarter of an hour later, Mo Yanxi and the others opened the window and turned off the lights. After a while, a faint sound of footsteps stepped on the stairs and stopped at the door of Mo Yanxi and the two of them, and it took about a cup of tea to leave.

Outside the house, it began to drizzle again, and the sound of the rain fell on the deserted street very clearly.

Half an hour later, the open window on the second floor moved slightly, and two figures were missing.

Riverview Town stands along the river, eats by the water, and there are many alleys in the town, and you can smell a strong fishy smell everywhere.

The wind fan took Mo Yanxi and stopped on a high roof.

"From Hejing to Lucheng, the slowest time is only half a day, and Grand Prince Su said that he will arrive at Hejing in two days, so it can be seen that he is either missing in Hejing or on the way to Hejing."

Mo Yanxi said, his eyes fell on the westernmost ferry in Riverview Town.

"I heard Second Prince Su say that the eldest son Su came from Thousand Flowers City. From Thousand Flowers City to River View, if you don't stop day and night, it will only take three days, and it is very likely that Master Su will spread the letter in Thousand Flowers City. ”

Feng Qi Fan said, and his eyes were also focused on buying the ferry.

"That's right, but if you take the waterway, it only takes a day and a half to get from Thousand Flowers City to the river view, if it were you, what would you choose?"

Feng Qifan heard Mo Yanxi's question, thought for a while, and replied: "It depends on what I want and what other people think." ”

"Master Su's trip is very important, if his whereabouts are insightd, then the people of the heavy mountain road will naturally not let him go, it stands to reason that it is very dangerous to take the waterway, and there is almost no ability to return on the boat, so at this glance, the possibility of going to land is greater."

Mo Yanxi said, squinting his eyes: "However, we can think of this, Master Su can think of it, and those who are chasing him can also think of it, you say, will he do the opposite?" ”

Feng Qi Fan blinked: "Maybe, maybe not, after all, the opposite is true, we can think of it, and the people of Chongshan Road can too." ”

Mo Yanxi was really surprised when she saw that the wind was fanning and changed her cold face in the past, and now she analyzed the video and was really surprised, she didn't expect her mind to be so clever.

"Listening to Su Yihang, five days have passed since the message was sent by the eldest prince Su, and it will take a day and a half at most to reach Cilu City from Qianhua City, which means that nearly seven days are empty during this period. Let's go to the ferry first, and if it's okay, go elsewhere. ”

Mo Yanxi said, turning his head and glancing at Feng Qifan.

Feng Qifan nodded, and then reached out to wrap his arms around Mo Yanxi's waist and swept towards the ferry.

The rain was still falling, because of the fast speed, the originally soft drizzle instantly slapped on the face like pebbles and sand.

The two of them had stepped on seven or eight rooftops, and had already traveled nearly half the way, and in front of them was an extremely long stone alley, as high as the high walls of some deep mansion compounds, which divided Riverview Town into two parts from south to north.

The wind fan tiptoed lightly, aimed at a stable wall and flew over, the figure flew lightly into the air, and suddenly a slight trembling sound sounded, and a few water droplets fell slowly from the air.

Feng Qifan's eyes were sharp, and then he threw the knife in his hand to the high wall a foot away from him, and the knife was injected with a strong internal breath, cutting the rain in half out of thin air, and finally the scabbard was firmly inserted into the wall. Feng Qifan immediately stopped breathing, fell into a roof, and then with the help of force, landed steadily beside the knife.

Mo Yanxi sensed that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Feng Qi snorted coldly, drew the knife with one hand, and the knife spun around on the wrist, and then flew out, slashing straight at the place where they had just stopped.

Something seemed to break apart in the air, and more water droplets fell. Mo Yanxi took a closer look with the light of the knife, and found that the broken silk thread seemed to be very thin, like a spider's web.

"This is a life-killing silk, made of a mixture of golden silk and mackerel silk, it looks as transparent as water, as slender as a hair, but it is very strong and sharp, if we fell somewhere just now, I am afraid it has become a piece of meat now."

Feng Qifan said, his eyes looking around vigilantly.

"Death Silk? It seems that the comer is not good, you have to be careful. ”

Mo Yanxi said, taking two steps back, making some room for the wind fan.

Feng Qifan nodded, and then walked some distance forward, and retrieved the knife. The wall was two feet wide and five feet deep, and if it fell, it would have to be seriously injured if it didn't die.

At a high place, the sound of the rain was clearer, almost masking any sound. Such bad weather, and the enemy in the dark, is really unfavorable to Mo Yanxi and the others.

"To the left!"

Feng Qi fanned his ears, heard a sound of breaking wind, turned around and shouted at Mo Yanxi, and then threw the knife in his hand towards Mo Yanxi, and he also tapped the wall and flew over.

When Mo Yanxi heard this, he immediately deviated to the left, although the speed was very fast, but there was still a hot pain on his face.

As for the knife thrown by the Feng Qi Fan, it was almost close to Mo Yanxi's ears, and the Feng Qi Fan had already flown over Mo Yanxi, caught the knife in the air and slashed down.

Mo Yanxi turned his head and saw that at some point, a man in black appeared behind him. The man looked like a man, wearing a black cloak and a black scarf, with only a pair of piercing eyes outside.

The man saw the wind fan and slashed with a knife, and immediately turned sideways to hide, who expected that the wind fan was just a false trick, the whole person turned flexibly in the air, his feet swirled in the air, and then kicked the man off the wall with one kick.

The man slammed into the other wall of the deep alley with such force that he smashed out several cracks.

The wind snorted coldly, and looked at the black-robed man condescendingly with a knife, and the rain fell down her cheeks, but those cold and indifferent eyes remained motionless.

"It's so rude, it's actually a sneak attack, this is definitely not the way of a gentleman."

Feng Qifan said, tightened the knife in his hand, and threw it at the black-robed man with all his strength.

The knife swirled several times in mid-air, and when the man saw this, he quickly got up and dodged to the side.

There was a faint smell of blood in the air, mixed with the smell of fish and rain, very turbid and messy.

The blade firmly inserted in the wall had three more inches of blood, which was slowly spread by the rain. As for the black-robed man, he was holding his left arm tightly, kneeling on the ground with one foot, staring at every move of the wind fan with a wary gaze.

Feng Qifan landed lightly, pulled out the knife, and said with a smile: "It's still far away, although the internal breath is okay, but there are only some three-legged cat moves in your hands, except to be a stealing cat, it's really useless." ”

As he spoke, Feng Qi fanned his eyes, and he was ready to step forward to end the life of the black-robed man.

"Wait a minute, get the fan, get down to business, let him go."

Mo Yanxi stood on the wall and shouted, Feng Qi Fan immediately put away the knife, glanced at the man, went up to the wall by himself, and disappeared into the rain with Mo Yanxi.

The ferry port on a rainy night is silent, the smell of fish here is much heavier than in other places, and fishing nets can be seen everywhere.

"Why are you stopping me?"

Feng Qifan turned around and asked puzzled.

Mo Yanxi wiped the wound on his face and said with a smile: "What's the hurry, maybe it's an acquaintance or not, I'll meet him tomorrow." ”

The two walked along the ferry to the depths of the wharf, and when they arrived in front of Wuhan, Mo Yanxi raised his eyebrows, and his eyes fell on the wooden pillar on the side.

Feng Qi Fan followed, touched the crack on the wooden pillar, and said: "Three inches into the wood, the strength is very strong, the two ends are sharp, and the middle is extremely deep, it is not a sword, it should be a hidden weapon such as a boomerang." This kind of thing, in addition to the Martial Sect, is also like the Shadow of the Dark Guard, and people with extremely high light skills will use it. ”

Mo Yanxi frowned and said: "If the end of Prince Su's trip is in Thousand Flowers City, there is no way to take the waterway from Hejing to Thousand Flowers City, you can only start along the official road or path, I think this mouth is quite new, it should not be a few days, so it seems that maybe Master Su will really plan and take the waterway, and he has arrived at Riverview Town." ”

"There was a fight at the ferry, maybe it was here that the eldest prince Su was ambushed by the people of Chongshan Road hidden in Riverview Town. You said... Will they kill people too much and sink the river. ”

Hearing this, Mo Yanxi shook his head: "Impossible, it is about to reach the cold winter, and the fishermen are rushing for the final harvest, you look at the fishing nets here, all of them are scattered, and there are some small fish hanging on them." It shows that the fishermen have set up nets in the river these days, and the fishing nets are dense, and if the river really sinks, the corpse will not necessarily float away along the water. I think this is a bit strange and worth digging into. ”

Mo Yanxi said and said with a smile: "With the ability of the eldest prince of Su, I definitely don't believe that he was governed by the heavy mountain road like this, let's go back first, the Zhennan Inn is not easy for me to look at, there may be a big game of chess here." ”
