Chapter 307: Friend or Foe
Qin Shuang'er and Chang Wen followed An Xiabai to Luoyang City that day, and they originally planned to go to the border pass together, but because of concerns, An Xiabai decided to go by themselves, while Chang Wen and Qin Shuang'er waited until the situation at the border was stable before going, which would be safer.
Qin Shuang'er and Chang Wen both accepted her arrangement and stayed in Luoyang City for the time being, waiting until the news that An Xiabai and Lu Li had stabilized in Lingcheng came before they left for Lingcheng.
"When I asked for directions at noon today, I heard the coachman say that after walking this road, we will be able to reach the boundary of Lingcheng in a few days, and Mrs. Lu and they will definitely be very happy to see us, right?" On the way to Lingcheng, Qin Shuang'er's eyes lit up, "Although I don't understand military affairs, let alone what Mrs. Lu said about important things, but those sound good for Brother Chang, and when we arrive in Lingcheng, Brother Chang will be able to do what he is good at." ”
Chang Wen smiled faintly, and his expression was a little more gentle than usual: "When has this been, and you still have the heart to say this?" ”
It's still far from Lingcheng now, I'm afraid it's too early to talk about the future.
Because the road to Lingcheng was tightly guarded by officials, they had to walk a waterway, Chang Wen went to the river with Qin Shuang'er, and happened to meet a woman who looked very familiar.
Yang ..... Miss Yang? ”
Qin Shuang'er's eyes widened suddenly, as if she had seen something terrible.
The so-called Miss Yang in her mouth is Yang Xiao, the eldest lady of the Yang family, who should be doing business in the capital at this time, she will appear here, and she still has a burden on her body, and she knows that the situation is not simple at a glance! Qin Shuang'er stepped forward tentatively and asked cautiously, "Miss Yang, where are you going, Ling Cheng?" ”
Yang Xiao raised his head suddenly, and there was a little more confusion in his beautiful eyes.
"Do you recognize me?"
She searched all her memories, but she never found a picture related to Qin Shuang'er, which shows that she and Qin Shuang'er should not know each other, but how could the other party recognize her?
Yang Xiao looked alert and subconsciously took two steps back.
Her small movements were all seen by Qin Shuang'er, Qin Shuang'er was careful, and when she saw this situation, she knew that she was guarding herself, and hurriedly explained.
"Miss Yang, don't worry, I'm not one of those bad people from the capital, and I didn't hurt your heart, and now I came to ask, but it was because I felt strange in my heart. Miss Yang, if I'm not mistaken, this road seems to be the road to Lingcheng, why are you on the way to Lingcheng? ”
Yang Xiao raised his eyebrows lightly, and did not answer the question immediately, but turned his gaze to Qin Shuang'er.
The two young people in front of her also had a burden on their bodies, and their clothes didn't look like rich people, they shouldn't be people from the capital, Yang Xiao secretly guessed that the other party was similar to her destination, in order to confirm her thoughts, she tentatively asked Qin Shuang'er: "I see that you also seem to have clothes on you that are about to go far away, are you also like me, are you going to leave this place to find someone in Lingcheng?" ”
Qin Shuang'er's eyes lit up, and she quickly smiled and nodded.
"Yes, we're going to Lingcheng to find that one too."
The specific name, out of prudence, Qin Shuang'er didn't say the name clearly, but Yang Xiao, as well as Chang Wen, who had been silently observing for a long time on the side, knew who she was talking about, it was nothing more than An Xiabai and Lu Li.
"Miss Yang, you may not remember me, but I am very impressed with you," Qin Shuang'er scratched her hair and said shyly, "I helped out in Mrs. Lu's restaurant before, and I fought there, and I was present when you came to the restaurant to find Mrs. Lu in the past, Miss Yang, but I didn't have a chance to speak......
No wonder they recognized themselves as soon as they met, it turned out to be someone from An Xiabai's side.
While Yang Xiao was happy, the big stone in his heart was finally put down.
"Since you are the person next to Mrs. Lu, then I will be relieved." Coming all the way, Yang Xiao didn't know how many sins she had suffered in it, and now she was naturally happy to see someone who was going in the same direction, she took Qin Shuang'er's hand and proposed with a smile: "Since we are on the way, let's go together in the future, I am a woman, and I am still quite afraid of my own business route." ”
As she spoke, her gaze turned to her usual eyes.
Qin Shuang'er didn't notice anything unusual at all, and when she heard Yang Xia herself propose to go together, it was too late for her to be happy.
"Then we'll go together from now on."
Along the way, Xu is mercy on the heavens are taking care of them, basically they have not encountered any hardships, this road can basically be said to be a smooth journey, seeing that the distance between Lingcheng is getting closer and closer, the more excited their group is, and they haven't even slept well.
After a dull night, Yang Xiao got up from the bed again and poked his head out to look at the night in the sky.
Obviously it was not the night of the fifteenth reunion, but the moon outside was as round as a jade plate, and the moonlight tilting to the ground was like white sand poured out of the jade plate, enveloping everything as far as the eye could see, adding a hazy and elegant beauty, Yang Xiao looked at it, and his mood was much more relaxed, and even the small emotions that had been fighting secretly with Chang Wen these days were also relieved.
Since they walked together, they have not encountered difficulties in clearing the customs, but their own people have made a fuss first.
The cause of the suspicion was a small toy that Yang Xiao gave to Qin Shuang'er casually, a small toy made of wood, because it was made by Yang Xiao on the road with his own hands, so it was a little rough. She originally wanted this little toy to help Qin Shuang'er relieve her boredom, but she never expected that after the little toy was sent, she would be suspected by Chang Wen, and the other party's inquiring gaze would turn on Yang Xiao from time to time, so Yang Xiao decided to find a time to talk to Chang Wen privately.
Chang Wen saw that nothing was right with her, and so was she, as early as the first time she saw Chang Wen, she felt that the person in front of her was not simple, and then she happened to meet a group of mountain bandits who did not have long eyes on the road, Chang Wen showed a hand in front of them to subdue the mountain bandits, and Yang Xiao became more and more determined in his heart.
Compared to myself, it's obviously a common thing to hear!
Coincidentally, she couldn't sleep tonight, and it was often the same as when the two met on the balcony, and there was a flash of surprise in their eyes.
Chang Wen was more clever in concealing his emotions, so as soon as he saw Yang Xiao coming, he frowned and walked in the direction of his room, but before he could take two steps, Yang Xiao rushed over and stopped him.
"I think we need to make it clear!"
Chang Wen raised his eyebrows, thinking that if it wasn't for Qin Shuang'er's face, he didn't even bother to look at Yang Xiao more, and now he hadn't gone to her to question, but the other party came to the door first?
"What do you want to make clear?"
"Of course it's your relationship with Miss Frost!" Yang Xiao frowned and said, "Although you have not spoken much these days, and you have rarely had any contact with me, I can see that your identity is not simple, you should have been King Li's subordinate before, right?" As she spoke, she took out the short knife she used for self-defense, "Tell me quickly, what do you want to do with Miss Shuang'er, do you want to go to Lingcheng to frame Mrs. Lu?" ”
Where is this?
Chang Wen was speechless for a while, he knew that his appearance was not an honest and serious person at a glance, but it was not to the point where he could be a bad guy just by looking at him, right?
I was depressed in my heart, but the explanation that should be there was no less, I saw Chang Wen cough lightly twice, and explained seriously: "Along the way, you should see the relationship between Shuang'er and me, if I threaten her, or use some other way to let her take me to Lingcheng together, then the atmosphere along the way will be so harmonious?" ”
"This ......." was questioned by him, and Yang Xiao began to feel weak for no reason.
Before she could finish her words, when she was distracted, Chang Wen suddenly approached.
As soon as the cold wind blew, Yang Xiao knew that something was wrong, and subconsciously hid to the side, and when she looked closely, it was Chang Wen who directly moved her hand, and it seemed that Chang Wen was also very suspicious of her!
Yang Xiao smiled coldly and hurriedly widened the distance between himself and Chang Wen.
She is not like Changwen, she is not a person who learns martial arts since she was a child, in terms of hand-to-hand combat, she is not as good as Changwen at all, after all, she is a girl, she is better at using hidden weapons to protect herself.
Fortunately, when I went out just now, I kept an eye on it and brought my weapon with me, otherwise I met Changwen here today, and I don't know what to do!
She took out her hidden weapon and held it tightly in her hand, and threw it away every time she pulled away from it, because she was relatively agile, and the weapon in her hand that fired the hidden weapon was different from the ordinary equipment, Chang Wen gradually struggled, and in order to ensure his absolute safety, he also used the hidden weapon.
The sound of the dart piercing into the wooden board was not harsh, even in the dead of night, it still didn't attract much attention, but Yang Xiao's face changed.
The attack in his hand suddenly stopped the moment he saw the dart, as if he was sure that Changwen would definitely not kill himself, Yang Xiao stood motionless, staring directly at the dart that pierced into the wooden board.
It is not an ordinary hidden weapon, if you are a layman, you just feel exquisite when you see this kind of dart, and it is worth a lot of money, and insiders, people like Yang Xiao can indeed see the identity of the user when they see this kind of hidden weapon, this is the unique secret weapon of the Tang Sect of the secret weapon family, not an object that any person can have, even if it is Yang Xiao, he just got it this year, and now it is still placed at the bottom of the Yang family's pressure box.
The most important thing is that in addition to proving the identity, this kind of secret weapon can also prove a person's character, and it is generally believed in the world that the people who can obtain this kind of Tang Sect secret weapon are all people who are affirmed by the Tang Sect and act above board, Yang Xiao also thinks so, it is precisely because of this that she dares to suddenly stop when she fights.
"Aren't you afraid that I won't be able to restrain my hand just now and really kill you?" I don't know what Yang Xiao is feeling at this time, and I don't understand her behavior.
"You won't." She turned her face and said to Chang Wen firmly, "I'm not a fool, when you fought me just now, you obviously had strength in your hands. ”
