"What!"

When Zhu You heard Li Zhenyan say that he was being followed by the White Lotus Sect, even though it was the scorching sun, he still felt a chill rise up his spine!

Li Zhenyan also said worriedly: "When I was in a hurry for the past two days, I always felt a little strange. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Info later found out that some passers-by who were in a hurry, although they deliberately changed their clothes every time they saw them, could still recognize them as the White Lotus Sect members we saw in Haicheng County. At first, I thought it was just a stopper, but just now in the tea stall, I found that a few of them were secretly looking at the prince. I was afraid that they would have bad intentions and intend to harm the prince, so I urged the prince to leave quickly. ”

Zhu You listened, and his brows couldn't help but twist into a big pimple. Obviously, Li Zhenyan, who is experienced in the rivers and lakes, will not be mistaken, this group of people must be coming for themselves. However, what puzzled him was that he had never heard of the White Lotus Sect before, and he only made eye contact with that holy woman in Haicheng, and he didn't do anything to offend them! But why do they follow themselves?

"Lord Wang, there is a forest in front, do you want me to set up an ambush there and catch a few disciples to ask what is going on?" Li Zhenyan clenched her silver teeth and said.

Zhu Youzhen pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "This is not appropriate. People just followed, and they didn't do anything to us, and we didn't have any credentials, so how could we take people? If you offend the White Lotus Sect because of this, you will be burned on fire. ”

"Then what should I do, do I just let them follow like this?" Li Zhenyan said anxiously.

Zhu Youzhen tilted his head and thought for a while, and suddenly said excitedly: "Zhenyan, aren't you very skilled in disguise skills, why don't we change our appearance halfway, they won't recognize it, won't we be safe!" ”

"Lord Wang, this one doesn't work." Li Zhenyan shook her head and said, "To be disguised, there must be corresponding props." But all these things were left in Dengzhou..."

"That's it..."Zhu Youzhen was disappointed for a while, and suddenly had an idea again, "Since you can't use Yi Yin to hide, then let's give him a 'big hidden in the city'!" ”

"What does it mean to be 'hidden in the city'?" Li Zhenyan said curiously.

"To put it simply, let's just look for a lively place!" Zhu Youzhen said confidently, "When we are in a hurry, we have to go in groups with a large number of merchants; Stay in a hotel at night, and look for a town with a lot of people, preferably the county seat and state capital, and find a store with the most people to live.

In this way, there may not be so many stalkers, and you may be dazzled and lost if you follow them; Second, the more people there are, the more difficult it is for them to do it. In addition, when we get to the larger city, we must quickly exchange these two mules for good horses, so that we can go faster. If they want to follow, they have to change horses. ”

"The prince's plan is very good!" Lee Jung-yeon clapped her hands and praised. So the two of them hurried along with this line of thought, and after another day, they finally arrived at the Guangdong Provincial Government, known as the Five Ram City.

Guangzhou is a thousand-year-old city and a governor's office, with a large natural scale and a prosperous population, far from being comparable to a small county like Haicheng. Zhu Youzhen really found the largest and most expensive inn in the center of the city to stay, and when he rested at night, he didn't dare to fall asleep like he did two days ago, but shared the night with Li Zhenyan to prevent someone from sneaking up.

The next day, the two of them came to the horse market, sold two mules cheaply, and bought two horses for a hundred taels of silver. With good foot strength, if it goes well, it can travel more than 100 miles a day, and you can reach Jingyang in another month.

However, what he saw and heard in Guangzhou City made Zhu Youzhen even more shocked. The power of the White Lotus Sect here is even greater, although I haven't seen the Holy Maiden, but there are more than ten incense halls. Each incense hall is presided over by a "Dharma protector", who gathers a large number of believers, and after pretending to be a god and playing ghosts as usual, they will defraud the believers of their money with nonsense such as "giving alms to eliminate karma and cultivating for the next life".

Zhu Youzhen didn't dare to stay here for a long time, and immediately followed the merchants who went north with the brigade and went out of the city. Along the way, he and Li Zhenyan stayed overnight, hungry and thirsty, and they tasted the hardships of the long journey. In particular, there is abundant rainfall in the southern part of the day, and it rains for half of the day. The official road was already dilapidated, and when it rained, it became muddy soup, and it was impossible to distinguish the depth, and sometimes Zhu Youzhen and Li Zhenyan had to get off their horses and wade through the water.

However, the current Zhu Youzhen is no longer the student who has just crossed over from his previous life. After more than a year of training in this turbulent era, especially after half a year of living like a savage on the island, he has already cultivated a strong physique, and his size has jumped up a lot, and now he is half a head taller than Li Zhenyan. The living environment of such a harsh overseas desert island, both of them survived, and these small difficulties in front of them are nothing.

Fortunately, since leaving Guangzhou City, there were no White Lotus disciples following him along the way. They went north from Guangzhou, passed through the Nanling Mountains full of clouds and waterfalls, and entered the territory of Hunan; And through Chenzhou, Hengyang, Zhuzhou to the provincial capital of Changsha, not to stop, along the vast Dongting Lake, to come to the world famous for "the worries of the world first, the joy of the world after the world". This section of the journey is thousands of miles long, and under the great care of the two, it is quite smooth, and it is completed in less than half a month.

Next, the two abandoned their horses and boarded the boat, and took a boat along the Yangtze River to the east, preparing to arrive at the three towns of Wuhan first, and then continue north from there. When he arrived along the Yangtze River, the White Lotus Sect had basically disappeared, and Zhu Youzhen gradually relaxed his heart. However, deep down in his heart, the shadow of the White Lotus Holy Maiden still flashed from time to time, and sometimes Zhu Youzhen didn't even know whether he was afraid that the White Lotus Sect would catch up, or if he was looking forward to the Holy Maiden appearing again.

As the so-called "thousands of miles of Jiangling are returned in one day", there are benefits of the Yangtze River boat, which is much faster than riding a horse. More than 300 miles of waterway was completed in less than two days, and Zhu Youzhen also came to the three towns of Wuhan, known as the "thoroughfare of nine provinces", for the first time.

So far, more than half of the journey home has been walked, and before that, Zhu Youzhen was like an arrow, and secondly, he was afraid that the White Lotus Sect would follow him, so he had no intention of enjoying the beautiful scenery along the way. This time I went to Wuhan, which is the capital of Hubei Province, and there are heavy garrisons of officials and soldiers, so I don't have to worry about security anymore.

On a whim, Zhu Youzhen first landed with Li Zhenyan in Wuchang, south of the Yangtze River. After a good night's sleep, the next day I was refreshed, and the sky was very beautiful, it was the first sunny day after the rain, and it was empty.

"Zhenyan, you've been with me for so long, tired of you suffering every day, I really don't want to go!" Zhu Youzhen pulled Li Zhenyan's hand and said affectionately, "Let's not rush today, how about having a good time here?" ”

"What did the prince say," Li Zhenyan was very happy, and her eyes were a little ruddy, "If it weren't for the prince, ten Zhenyan would also die." Since the prince is so interested, Zhenyan will accompany you. ”

"Good, good!" Zhu Youzhen was also moved by himself, so he had to endure the sourness of his nose and smiled, "It is said that the Wuchang Yellow Crane Tower is the best in the world, let's go to the Yellow Crane Tower!" ”
