The reason why Yang Yi took Gong Shiming and others on the road with him, on the one hand, was because Gongshi Ming and others were extremely familiar with the road conditions in this place, and it was bound to be much faster if they took you to Jiuxiao Mountain Villa by yourself.

On the other hand, the palace master is the deputy hall master of Jiuxiao Villa, and his status is not low, whether he is a local hero or a Fengzhou official, he will have a lot less trouble.

Yang Yi had heard the news of the accident in Jiuxiao Villa from the Valley of Flowers before, and the words of the palace master made Yang Yi even more worried, he found that the situation might be worse than he imagined, so he couldn't make any delays, and he and the others had to rush to Jiuxiao Villa quickly.

Riding horses and galloping all the way, as Yang Yi expected, with the identity of the palace master, everyone rushed up a lot faster.

Especially when crossing the state and passing through the county, in the past, because Yang Yi and others had too big a goal, they had to spend a lot of time detouring from the trail when the Fengzhou army was stationed, but now, as long as the palace master showed the waist card of Jiuxiao Villa to those officers, it would be released soon, and there would not even be a basic inspection.

This made Yang Yi feel how huge the power of Jiuxiao Mountain Villa was in Fengzhou Mansion again? No wonder the people of Jiuxiao Mountain Villa forcibly requisitioned grain outside, and the people of the government did not react in any way.

Although the people of Jiuxiao Villa usually act at night, it is impossible for the Fengzhou government not to know about this matter, just like last night in Xiaoli Village, then Li Gui reported the name of Jiuxiao Villa without secret.

Therefore, it is not that the Fengzhou government does not know, but that the tense does not want to care, or dare not manage, before it develops to the point of uncontrollable.

Yang Yi wanted to know that the token of Jiuxiao Mountain Villa was so easy to use in Fengzhou, so he should have asked Doubao to get a piece earlier, and also saved himself a group of people from wandering around the barren mountains and mountains all day long.

In fact, Yang Yi did have a token on his body, but that token was the order of the Jiuxiao Mountain Villa Alliance that Master Pukong handed over to Yang Yi on his deathbed, and he was afraid that it would cause more trouble if he took it out.

With the opening of the road by Gong Shiming and others, it was supposed to be a two-day journey, but in the early morning of the second day, everyone had already arrived at a village at the foot of Jiuxiao Mountain.

This village is called Songjia Village, and it is also the place where Yang Yi and the people of Fanhua Valley agreed to meet.

Songjia Village and Xiaolizhuang, although they are both the same village, are not the same.

Xiaolizhuang is located in the middle of the mountains, the village is small, and the villagers are very poor, while Songjia Village is located at the foot of the famous Jiuxiao Mountain, the scale is almost larger than a town, and it has almost become a county seat without building a wall.

There are many restaurants, restaurants, horse halls, and martial arts halls in Songjia Village, and Yang Yi even saw a red mansion with colorful flags fluttering at the east end of the village, which is so lively.

Yang Yi and others led the horses and walked slowly, along the way, the shouts on both sides of the street were endless, selling everything, and what was even more surprising was that there were even those who sold swords, weapons, and blades on the street.

You must know that in Daguang, except for some military states where weapons can be sold, weapons are strictly prohibited in other places, and even in military states, weapons trading is also a big business, usually carried out in shops with many guards, how can there be street sales in broad daylight.

"Has it always been like this here?" Yang Yi pointed to the vendors on the street and asked.

Gong Shiming shook his head and said, "There were before, but there weren't so many. ”

Yang Yi and dozens of others walked slowly on the street, and greedy and hot eyes were constantly cast around them.

To be precise, they were eyeing the dozens of horses led by Yang Yi and others.

Daguang has always lacked horses, and people like Yang Yi who led dozens of good horses through the market were either officials or a certain big sect.

Yang Yi frowned thoughtfully, and had a bad premonition, but at this time, he had already arrived at the foot of Jiuxiao Mountain, and he couldn't take care of it.

Fortunately, there is a palace master name in front to lead the way, and his clothes as an inner disciple of Jiuxiao Mountain Villa are the best cover for everyone, of course, Yang Yi has already untied the rope tied to the palace master's body, and just sandwiched it in the middle of the crowd to hurry.

Gong Shiming didn't speak, and he didn't intend to negotiate, maybe he had other plans in his heart.

"Bean buns." Yang Yi glanced back at the bean bag.

Doubao understood what Yang Yi meant, nodded and turned around and got into the crowd.

It happened that Yang Yi saw an inn not far ahead, and beckoned to everyone behind him, "Let's go there and rest." ”

The palace master was slightly stunned when he heard this, and said incomprehensibly: "This son, this place is mixed, even I can't guarantee that you are thorough, I think it is better to hurry up the mountain." ”

Yang Yi glanced at the palace master, but the gentle smile on his face made the palace master shudder.

"Don't be in a hurry, I've been rushing for days and days, and I'll talk about resting."

Yang Yi and the others walked straight into the restaurant called Fulai Inn, and the bartender saw that there was a big deal, and welcomed everyone in with great enthusiasm.

Yang Yi originally wanted a few private rooms, but unfortunately four of the only five private rooms in the inn had already been booked.

Yang Yi thought about it for a while, and asked Monkey Jian'er to take a few generals and a few disciples of Jiuxiao Villa such as Gong Shi Ming into the Ya Rest to rest, so as not to make unnecessary trouble when the palace master name was recognized.

And Yang Yi had no choice but to lead the rest of the people to put together a few tables in the lobby and rest for the time being.

Soon, the bean bun who went to inquire about the news returned to the restaurant.

Doubao sat beside Yang Yi and shook his head lightly with a solemn face.

Yang Yi frowned slightly when he saw this, Doubao was going to inquire about the news of the people in Fanhua Valley, and he didn't find anything to see Doubao.

Blossom Valley is closer to Jiuxiao Mountain than Tongzhou, and it stands to reason that they should have arrived earlier.

"Could it be that the people of the Valley of Flowers went up the mountain first?" Yang Yi pondered.

"Your Highness, what should we do next?" Bean Bao asked softly.

Yang Yi took a sip of tea, looked at the lively street outside, and said, "Eat and drink enough, feed the horses, and before noon, we will go up the mountain." ”

There is a saying in the name of the palace master that is good, there are mixed fish and dragons here, and it is not a place to stay for a long time.

Doubao nodded: "I'll arrange it." ”

Yang Yi and the others were resting in the lobby, and the people who passed by looked at them with cautious and vigilant eyes, but fortunately, Yang Yi and the others were numerous, and they didn't seem to be good people, and no one came up to find fault.

After a while, the morning market on the street began to close, and the number of pedestrians gradually decreased.

Seeing that there was still no trace of everyone in the Flower Valley, Yang Yi was ready to let everyone pack up and go to Jiuxiao Mountain on their own.

"Miss, slow down, watch the steps!"

Yang Yizheng wanted to get up, and suddenly heard a commotion above his head, and looked up, and indeed the guests in the private rooms walked downstairs.
