Chapter Forty-Eight: Departure, Liaoxi County!
Xiao Yu has already decided to escort Han Liyan to Liaoxi County.
Han Liyan was worried about her uncle's safety, and she couldn't wait to fly to Liaoxi County with one wing. Xiao Yu understood Han Liyan's mood and decided to set off the day after tomorrow.
The next day, Xiao Yu came to Longshouyuan early in the morning.
This is where his formation really matures, Xiao Yu looked at Daxing City under the steep slope with emotion. Standing on the Dragon Head Plain, the cold wind was still howling, and Xiao Yu unconsciously thought of Xu Tianshi.
After returning to the city with Han Liyan yesterday, Xiao Yu went out of the city again and went to Furong Pond.
The water of the Hibiscus Pool is still so calm, and the boulder in the center of the pool is still suppressing the entire Hibiscus Pool, but the Xu Tianshi who personally explained his doubts and taught his own formation has been in retreat for a long time.
As he was leaving, Xiao Yu knelt on the ground in the direction where Xu Tianshi had gone from retreat and kowtowed respectfully a few times.
He is about to leave Daxing City tomorrow, and Xiao Yu still has some indescribable and unclear feelings in his heart. In the dark, Xiao Yu felt that he had a special relationship with Daxing City, maybe this was fate, Xiao Yu himself couldn't tell.
Back in Daxing City, Xiao Yu thought for a long time and finally went to Daxingshan Temple, but unfortunately the Tianzhu monk Nalian Ti Yesshe had already left to wander around, and Yin of Changning and Kunming had already left and did not know where to go.
Xiao Yu also went to bid farewell to Taichangqing Gao Gong and Yang Xuan, the Duke of Xiao Chu. Gao Gong didn't say anything, but Yang Xuangan took his hand and said that it was a pity, saying that in a few days he would beg his father to recommend himself to the saint, Xiao Yu heard it and hurriedly excused himself. I still have to wander and find my master, how can I stay in Daxing City as an official all the time?
For a whole day, Xiao Yu wandered aimlessly in Daxing City, the Imperial City, Chunfeng Restaurant, Zhuque Street, Xuandu Temple, Daxingshan Temple...
Early in the morning, at the gates of the city.
All the good men of the business group followed Han Yi out to do business. Han Liyan was in an urgent mood, and she didn't bring any luggage, only Baishuang with her.
What Xiao Yu didn't expect was that the white frost, which looked delicate, with fine skin and tender flesh, could also ride a horse, which made Xiao Yu very impressed.
Qinghua Daoist did not come together, when Xiao Yu went to Taichangqing's mansion yesterday to say goodbye, Qinghua Daoist said that his father just did not agree, and the angry Qinghua Daoist did not eat all day.
"Liyan, Baishuang, let's go." Xiao Yu touched the horse's neck.
"Brother Xiao, wait for me, I'm going too." Behind him there was the sound of horses' hooves.
Xiao Yu was overjoyed when he heard this, and when he looked back, the Qinghua Daoist was riding a horse, and behind him was Jin Ju, who was not leaving.
"Thanh Hoa, why are you here?" Xiao Yu turned his face blank, "It won't be sneaking out again." ”
"How is it possible, you see," Qinghua Daoist chased after him as he spoke, stretched out his hand and pointed behind him, "My father and father have come to see me off." ”
Qinghua Daoist is the grandson of Gao Gong, the Taichang Qing of the Dynasty, and this matter has long been secretly told to Han Liyan by the big-mouthed Jin Ju. Although Han Liyan was very surprised, she was not estranged from Qinghua because of this, and still called out "stinky Taoist" one by one.
Xiao Yu looked in the direction pointed by the Qinghua Daoist and was taken aback. Not far away, it was Taichangqing Gao Gong who was walking down from the carriage, and the one who was supporting him was Gao Biaoren, the father of Qinghua Daoist.
Several people hurriedly stepped forward, and after greetings, Xiao Yu opened his mouth, "How dare you have such a love from Master Lao Gao, I am really ashamed." ”
Tai Changqing Gao Gong smiled and waved his hand under Gao Biao's benevolent support, "You and my grandson are like brothers, and I also treat you as my grandson, it's not a big deal to come and send it off." ”
Xiao Yu's heart warmed when he heard this.
Gao Gong looked up at Han Liyan and a few people, "It's also interesting to have a red face as a companion on the way." Huai'er, you have to listen to your big brother Xiao more when you go, and don't mess around like you used to be. ”
Han Liyan's face flushed slightly when she heard this, and the Qinghua Daoist shouted, "I know the great father, you have already said it several times." ”
"Listen as many times as you say." Gao Biaoren's expression of hatred made the Qinghua Daoist stick out his tongue in fright.
"Okay, I won't delay you, Yu'er, Huai'er will be entrusted to you." Tai Changqing said with a smile.
"Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely keep Qinghua well." Xiao Yu feels that today's Gao Gong is a little weird, entrust it to me? It's not a life-and-death parting, it's too heavy.
"Huai'er, remember to come back often, alas, you don't know when you will come back." Gao Biaoren sighed, and looked at Qinghua Daoist with a pleasant face, and his slightly hoarse voice contained endless sadness.
"Father, the child knows, you and the father go back, the child will definitely come back." After Qinghua Daoist finished speaking, he jumped on the horse directly. The horse roared and galloped away with the Qinghua Daoist.
"Master Gao, let's go now." Xiao Yu hurriedly said goodbye, got on the horse and chased after the Qinghua Daoist.
What Xiao Yu didn't notice was that Taichangqing Gao Gong and Gao Biaoren had been standing in place and watching a few people fight away until they disappeared, and Gao Gong's eyes began to slowly overflow with tears...
Out of Daxing City, the five people rode horses along the official road all the way, looking at the scenery on both sides of the road, the Qinghua Daoist slowly returned to normal.
"Brother Xiao, you are good at riding." Han Liyan said not far to Xiao Yu's left.
Of course, Xiao Yu was proud. Since breaking through the "Tiancang Sutra", Xiao Yu feels that he has changed a lot, and he has begun to slowly explore the doorway for many things that he was not good at, and horseback riding is one of them.
After the breakthrough, it will indeed bring unexpected progress to himself, Uncle Shi really didn't lie to me, Xiao Yu silently thanked Uncle Shi for his teachings in his heart.
The five of them looked at the customs and customs of various places along the way, if it weren't for Han Liyan's uncle who was seriously ill, it would be a good cultivation trip.
In the evening of this day, the five people arrived in Linquan County, Loufu County.
"I heard that the soup cakes in this county are a must, so we can taste them today." The Qinghua Daoist rode on his horse and walked around looking for a place to eat.
As soon as he heard that there was something delicious, Jin Ju, who was frozen by the cold wind and kept snotting, came to his senses and rode on a horse to find it with the Qinghua Dao people.
The Qinghua Daoist people searched for everything, asked east and west, and led everyone to stop in a remote alley.
"I said you stinky Taoist, there were so many restaurants just now that you didn't go, but you chose such a place, you really have it."
"What do you know," Qinghua Daoist said disdainfully, pointing to a tattered-looking noodle restaurant at the end of the alley, "No matter where you are, you will never be able to eat authentic local snacks in a restaurant, and the delicious snacks are often in such an inconspicuous small place, which is the same as Daxian in the wilderness." ”
Everyone suspiciously followed behind the Qinghua Taoist and walked all the way into the small noodle restaurant.
"Shopkeeper, come five bowls, no, six bowls of soup cakes." As soon as he entered the door, the loud voice of the Qinghua Daoist howled out.
A father and son who are the shopkeepers of a small noodle restaurant. The father and son were overjoyed when they saw the sudden arrival of big business, and after leading the five of them to the table, they went to work.
"Daoist, Miss Ben will believe you for a while, if it doesn't taste good later, see how I clean you up."
"Hmph." The Qinghua Daoist didn't care, only Jin Ju was still instigating the Qinghua Daoist, "Brother Gao, why did you order six bowls, and I may not be able to eat two bowls." ”
After a while, everyone's soup cakes were served with a fragrant aroma.
The words of the Qinghua Taoist are still very insightful, not to mention how it tastes, the appearance alone makes people appetize. Pieces of dough floated in the bowl, and the leeks on the soup noodles were no more or less, and with an irresistible fragrance, everyone couldn't help but taste it.
"It's so fragrant, I've never eaten such a delicious soup cake." Han Liyan buried her head directly in the bowl.
"It's really ignorant, I told you all about it, and I still don't believe it."
Han Liyan was eating soup cakes in a big gulp, and she didn't have time to quarrel with the Qinghua Daoist for the time being.
Just when the five of them were feasting, two more people walked in from outside the noodle restaurant, "Shopkeeper, two bowls of noodle soup." ”
Xiao Yu looked at it in response, and saw the two sturdy men who came in, with a sense of anger between their eyebrows.
The two glanced at Xiao Yu and then found a place to sit down.
"Shopkeeper, three bowls of noodle soup." Three more people walked in.
The father and son of the noodle restaurant didn't know why the business of the noodle restaurant was so good today, so they hurriedly greeted them.
It's three sturdy men with unkind faces, how can this small noodle shop gather so many people of the same kind at once? This is not a traffic rush, Xiao Yu felt strange.
After less than a stick of incense, Xiao Yu and the other four people ate and drank to their heart's content, sat on their seats and drank tea and rested, only Jin Ju ate bowl after bowl without stopping.
"Thanh Hoa, something is wrong." Taking advantage of Han Liyan and Bai Shuang's efforts to talk on the side, Xiao Yu frowned and whispered to Qinghua Daoist.
"Brother Xiao, you also noticed." Qinghua Daoren's expression was serious.
"Well," Xiao Yu glanced up at the five people, "These people look like people from a certain sect or the green forest, and they obviously didn't come to eat, a few strong men didn't even finish a bowl of noodles, their eyes looked over here, it couldn't be that they fancy our money." ”
"It shouldn't be," Qinghua said, "Doing this kind of thing in the city, forgive them for not having the guts, and Brother Xiao, have you noticed, these people have been following us since yesterday, if it is for money, it is estimated that they will do it last night." ”
Xiao Yu was stunned, yesterday? I really didn't notice this, and my experience of wandering was still not as good as that of Qinghua Dao people who had been wandering outside since childhood.
"Moreover, I deliberately chose this relatively remote place," the Qinghua Daoist then whispered, "but they came with me, and it seems that their purpose is very clear, it should be to target one of us, or something that one of us has taken." ”
But the five of us don't have anything special on us, if you want to talk about staring at people, it won't be me again, Xiao Yu reluctantly remembered all kinds of things since he came out of the mountain, and felt that it was more likely that he was still staring at himself.
"Or you're here to seek revenge."
Xiao Yu and Qinghua Daoren glanced at each other, "Changning? ”
Now it seems that this is the only explanation.
"Brother Xiao, I don't think these five people are in a group, this is just the courage to come to spy on the news, and I don't know how many waves or how many people are hiding in the shadows."
Xiao Yu nodded heavily after hearing this, this time the matter is really a bit tricky, he and the Qinghua Dao people are naturally not afraid, Jin Ju also has a little ability to protect himself, but Han Liyan and Bai Shuang are not good, overall, their side is obviously at a disadvantage.
"Tonight, let's sleep in one room," Xiao Yu thought for a while, "Don't tell the three of them first, tonight you and I will keep vigil in the middle of the night, and they will take care of it a little bit in the city, anyway, let's spend the night safely first." ”
After listening, the Qinghua Daoist also glanced at those people with a worried face.
After eating the soup cakes, everyone sweated a lot, and they were blown by the cold wind on the street, which was indescribably comfortable.
"Brother Xiao, I will go to the territory of Mayi County the day after tomorrow, and I will meet you with an acquaintance when the time comes." Han Liyan winked at Xiao Yu.
Acquaintance? Xiao Yu thought about it for a long time and couldn't guess who it was, and then remembered the few people who followed him tonight, and his heart was troubled.
"Let me guess if it's your childhood sweetheart." Qinghua Daoist was afraid of ghosts, and Han Liyan, who was clever and clever, saw Xiao Yu's strange appearance and hurriedly came over to stir up.
"Oh, you stinky Taoist, get out of the way, the monks are really not at all scrupulous."
Xiao Yu followed behind a few people, thinking about countermeasures as he walked.
In the evening, Xiao Yu used the excuse of talking at night to enhance the relationship, so that Han Liyan agreed to live in one room for five people, but Han Liyan's meaningful eyes and white frost's smiling expression embarrassed her for a while.
At night, at the inn, five people were crammed into one room.
The room is divided into two rooms: inside and outside.
Han Liyan naturally let him sleep on the bed in the inner room, Baishuang lay on the ground next to Han Liyan, Xiao Yu and Qinghua Daoren sat on the stool in the outer room thoughtfully, only Jin Ju lay on the floor of the outer room heartlessly and snored.
What will I do after this night?
Xiao Yu thought hard about countermeasures.
