Chapter 101: Into the Urn

The night was already dark, Dajian Town was not the northern city of Shuzhou City after all, and the lights in several rooms were extinguished, leaving only a crescent moon and a little stars in the sky.

Xilai Inn, a window slowly opened, a black shadow turned out of the room, hands on the eaves lightly, people have climbed onto the roof, lay on the roof to observe for a while, get up and run along the ridge briskly, a few ups and downs have crossed several houses.

This black shadow naturally waited until everyone fell asleep before changing into dark clothes, with a square scarf on his face, and Xu Mingyuan, who was carrying the Qingshuang Sword behind his back.

In the inn before, Qi Haobo had already told him a rough idea of the reason why he was hunted down, and those things in Yuntai Division should be kept secret, but Qi Haobo still told him word for word, and even some people in the courtyard in Chang'an told him again.

If this secret letter in Qi Haobo's hand can be handed over to His Majesty, then the Nanzhao Rebellion may be able to be resolved in a relatively peaceful way.

As for whether the Jiannan Dao Jiedu envoy and the major families will be responsible for bullying the monarch because of this, this is not something that Xu Mingyuan and Qi Haobo can control.

Knowing that he was protecting such a thing, Xu Mingyuan felt that even if he was following half of the rivers and lakes behind him and the four major sects in front of him were blocking the way, he should take his life to fight, and as for Qi Haobo's life, which was almost taken away by his own people, he should not stay here.

Xu Mingyuan of Dajian Town has been here several times, although he is not familiar with it, but the approximate location can still be remembered.

Lightly past a few houses, Xu Mingyuan landed softly and ran quickly along the alley towards the east of the town.

Although walking on the roof is chic, in this dark night, the goal is actually obvious, as long as there is a little moon in the sky, it is difficult to see the figure jumping around on the roof can still be seen as a wild cat.

There is a shop in front of the pharmacy in Dajian Town, and a small courtyard in the back, with a courtyard wall more than one person high, and an osmanthus tree sticking out of the courtyard wall, which is full of fragrance.

Xu Mingyuan has been here in this pharmacy, there is an old doctor, and there is a young man, there should be no one else.

At this time, there was still a dim lantern hanging at the door of the pharmacy, and a medicine word was faintly visible. The doctor's parents are afraid that someone is in a hurry to find the doctor at night, and there is nowhere to find it, so this lantern is hung.

Xu Mingyuan walked around the pharmacy, and after making sure that there was no one around and there was no sound in the yard, he put his hand on the wall, turned over on the wall, and hid behind the osmanthus tree to observe for a while, before he entered the courtyard softly along the osmanthus tree.

He saw Ma Zeyuan and the others leave the inn after eating, and they didn't know where they were going, if they were waiting in the medicine shop, it would not be good if they ran into the muzzle.

Xu Mingyuan leaned against the wall and walked towards the pharmacy, the old doctor and the job should be in those two rooms, he didn't want to alarm them.

Xu Mingyuan walked to the front of the shop, and the door inside was not locked, so Xu Mingyuan slowly opened the door, flashed into the shop, and closed the door at the same time.

A strong medicinal fragrance came to the face, mixed with the smell of various herbs, and it was not unpleasant.

Xu Mingyuan took out the fire fold from his arms and shook it, and a spark lit up on the fire fold, emitting a faint light. Xu Mingyuan walked quickly to the medicine cabinet, and relied on the faint light to press the name of the medicine on the medicine cabinet and began to load the medicine.

Qi Haobo talked about six kinds of herbs, all of which were common herbs, so Xu Mingyuan found a few in a while.

"What people!" Just as Xu Mingyuan put the fifth herb into the package, a loud shout came, and two figures suddenly rushed out from behind the medicine cabinet and rushed towards him, and one person was guarding the door.

Xu Mingyuan's eyes condensed slightly, and as soon as he flipped his hand, the fire fold in his hand was extinguished. At the same time, he grabbed the package on the counter, tied a knot neatly, and carried it behind him, and when he probed it, Qingshuang was already in his hand.

Someone was hiding behind the medicine cabinet, which made Xu Mingyuan a little surprised, it seemed that these disciples of the Qingcheng Sword Sect had been waiting for a lot of time in the back, if it weren't for the sound of him rummaging through the cabinets too loudly, I'm afraid they wouldn't know.

However, what made Xu Mingyuan breathe a sigh of relief was that there were only three people here, and Ma Zeyuan was not among them, they should be divided into two ways, and they didn't know where the other road was.

Without waiting for Xu Mingyuan to think about it, the two disciples of the Qingcheng Sword Sect were already stabbing towards Xu Mingyuan with swords. It's just that after the fire in Xu Mingyuan's hand is extinguished, there is darkness in the pharmacy, where can ordinary people still see it.

Xu Mingyuan fell backwards, his hand on the ground, he had already avoided the long swords of the two, rolled on the spot, touched the medicine cabinet and hid behind the medicine cabinet where they were hiding before, and slowly walked towards the door.

If Xu Mingyuan didn't guess wrong, there should be two third-grade disciples among these three, one did not enter the third-grade, and the two disciples beside Ma Zeyuan should not have reached the third-grade.

"Bold thief, don't come out quickly, or don't blame me for being ruthless." One shouted loudly, waving the long sword in his hand, but he couldn't see anything.

"Senior Brother Huang, inform Senior Brother." The other spoke, groping for something, most likely igniting a fire.

"Good!" The disciple standing at the door answered the door and pulled a crack in the door and took out a bamboo tube from his bosom.

At this moment, Xu Mingyuan, who had already approached the door, kicked on top of the medicine cabinet, and directly kicked the entire medicine cabinet to the two people standing next to the medicine cabinet, and at the same time stabbed the disciple standing at the door.

The two men exclaimed, but they were not slow to react, and at the same time stepped back, avoiding the fallen medicine cabinet.

The disciple standing at the door was facing outward, and he didn't have time to dodge and use his sword to deal with it, and was stabbed in the back of the heart by Xu Mingyuan's sword.

However, the disciple was also stubborn, and with his last breath, he pulled the bamboo tube away, and a red light shot out from the bamboo tube, and then exploded a brilliant firework in the sky.

Xu Mingyuan's face changed slightly, and he kicked the disciple's body out of the room with one kick connected to the door, and as soon as the long sword was put away, the person had already rushed out of the door, glanced at the two rooms where he heard the sound of loud lights, as well as the sound of shouting and scolding and footsteps coming from behind him, his feet were on the osmanthus tree a little, and he climbed the wall with his strength, and flashed out of the courtyard.

Xu Mingyuan held on to the corner of the wall to catch his breath, discerned the direction, and rushed towards the alley he had found before, as long as he entered the alley, with the road he had explored before, even if Ma Zeyuan chased him, he was confident that he could get rid of him.

However, just as Xu Mingyuan rushed out five or six zhang away, a figure walked through the roof, and several ups and downs were already approaching him quickly, and the two people in the courtyard also climbed over the wall and chased out.
