Chapter 305: The Wind Rises
Although Yang Hu left, he still listened to the conversation between Mr. Si and Yang Zhenbiao word for word.
Turning around the small courtyard in front of the court, Yang Hu went straight to the main hall, and saw Gao Yunlai sitting upright at this time, savoring a fragrant tea in his hand.
"The cold tea in the north really has a unique flavor!"
Gao Yunlai put down the tea cup in his hand and said with a smile: "Since most of Youzhou fell into the hands of foreign regions in the past twenty years, the cold tea in Youzhou has become more and more rare, but I didn't expect Brother Yang to have a collection here." ”
"Yang found a few cold tea trees in the Chiba Mountains, and he can pick a few taels every year, if he likes it, Yang still has a little collection in his house, and Brother Gao can take it. ”
Yang Hu waved his hand, although the cold tea was precious, he would not be stingy at this time.
After Gao Yun thanked him, his expression followed him and said, "Brother Yang, is there still no whereabouts of the Two Realms Anchor Flag?"
Yang Hu shook his head solemnly, and said: "None of the people who went out of the City Lord's Mansion have ever found the whereabouts of Shang Bo's grandson, and the people who saw the fight that day have never seen anything like a pennant among Chen Sanyang's relics, but those things were indeed taken away by Shang Bo's grandson later, and Chen Sanyang's body was finally collected by the three major families in Jizhou. ”
After Gao Yunlai listened carefully, he sneered: "That is to say, the Two Realms Anchor Banner on the Cangling Martial Cultivation may have been hidden by him anywhere in advance, or it may have fallen into the hands of Shang Bo's grandson, and it may have been destroyed when Chen Sanyang died and the storage items on his body were broken, or it could have fallen into the hands of the three major families in Jizhou?"
Yang Hu thought for a while and said, "That's true. However, the Two Realms Anchor Banner is made of special materials, and the shattering of space items cannot destroy it at all. ”
The mocking smile on Gao Yunlai's face became more and more intense at this time: "Do you need to say more? The fourth-order elder of the Guo family can actually chase down even a third-order martial artist of Gao Yunlai under his nose? How many people believe it? Besides, none of these three families have entered Changfeng City later?"
Yang Hu nodded and said, "The convoy of the three major families bypassed Changfeng City all the way to the north, and it should have gone directly to Tongyou City, and several descendants of the three major families in the previous city also left the city before dark. ”
Gao Yunlai sneered: "They did this, Gao was not surprised at all!"
Yang Hu hesitated: "Brother Gao means that the Two Realms Anchor Flag is very likely to fall into the hands of the three major families?"
Gao Yunlai didn't answer Yang Hu's question directly, but asked, "I heard that Chen Sanyang appeared near the gorge passage before he was killed, and it looks like he was waiting for someone?"
Yang Hu nodded and said, "Yes! At that time, I had seen many business trips in the past. ”
Gao Yunlai said, "Then who does Brother Yang think he was waiting for at that time?"
Yang Hu muttered: "At present, the convoy of the three major families is the most suspicious. ”
Gao Yunlai said again: "Gao once heard that Chen Sanyang was quite courteous in Changfeng City, and the three major families of Jizhou were also going to enter Changfeng City according to the original plan, so why did Chen Sanyang go to the Gorge Pass to meet the convoy of the three major families?"
"This ...... Could it be that they had agreed beforehand?"
Yang Hu also felt weird, and after thinking about it for a while, his expression suddenly became stunned, and said: "He knows about the destruction of the Cangling Station in the Qianye Mountain Range, could it be that he suspects that the murderer is us?"
"In this case, he met the three major families before they came to Changfeng City, right?
Say you're going to seek asylum?"
Just after talking and guessing, Yang Hu followed and said: "But it's not right, if it's really me who waits for it, even Liang Shuangren will be killed, how can he leave him Chen Sanyang, a third-order martial artist, dead?"
The mockery on Gao Yunlai's face never dissipated, and he suddenly said at this time: "It's still because of the Two Realms Anchor Flag, he will think that the Two Realms Anchor Flag is on him, and we will wait for the rat to be jealous." ”
Yang Hu always felt that this speculation was somewhat far-fetched, but he couldn't figure out anything else for a while.
After thinking about it, Yang Hu asked again: "Senior brother, this time there is no Two Realms Anchor Flag, does it have a great impact on what we are planning?"
Gao Yunlai finally restrained the irony that had been hanging on his face, and said: "There will definitely be an impact, according to the plan, Gao can use the Anchor Banner of the Two Realms to maintain ninety percent of his combat power when the Deer Ancestor comes, and now he ......"
Yang Hu's heart jumped, and he hurriedly said, "How is it now?"
Gao Yunlai seemed to sense the uneasiness in Yang Hu's heart, and said with a smile: "Brother Yang, don't be impatient! With Gao's means, even if he can't maintain ninety percent of his combat strength when Ancestor Lu comes, he can at least maintain the strength of the Five Heavens. With the current situation in Youzhou, his old man can already sweep the audience!"
Seeing Gao Yunlai's expression in hand, Yang Hu's face looked a little lighter, but he was still faintly uneasy in his heart.
............
Shang Xia didn't expect that Hai Min would actually entrust Xiao Yuanyuan to his care, which obviously had great trust in him.
As for what Hai Min was going to do, Shang Xia already had a guess in her heart, anyway, it couldn't be as simple as she said she was going to go out of the city and go back to her parents' home.
Hai Min was obviously prepared for this, and after Shang Xia agreed, she quickly packed up and prepared to go out.
Hai Yuanyuan, the little girl, also looked very calm, and after Shang Xia agreed, she stayed by his side obediently, and sent Hai Min out with Shang Xia, as if such an experience had been more than once for this little girl, and it had long been commonplace.
When Hai Min stepped out of the threshold of the gate of the small courtyard, her figure suddenly froze, she turned her head to look at Shang Xia and her daughter, and hesitated: "If I can't come back today, please take care of her for a while." ”
Shang Xia didn't seem to understand the meaning of Hai Min's words, and said with a smile: "You can rest assured that the child will be fine with me." ”
Haimin was about to open his mouth to say something, but suddenly felt the dryness in his mouth, and finally just nodded, said "please" again, and turned away without looking back.
Shang Xia took Xiao Yuanyuan all the way to the door, and watched her back disappear completely at the end of the street.
The little girl, who was just as tall as Shang Xia's knees, looked up at Shang Xia and asked, "Uncle, will my mother come back?"
Shang Xia was slightly stunned, squatted down and said softly, "Why do you say that?"
The little girl's eyes flashed with innocence, and she said, "There used to be some uncles and aunts, and they often said the same, and then some of them never came back. ”
Shang Xia stretched out his hand and rubbed the little girl's head, and said, "Don't worry, your mother will definitely come back." ”
The little girl reached out and grabbed Shang Xia's sleeve and said, "Uncle, can you help my mother?"
Shang Xia looked at Xiao Yuanyuan with some surprise and said, "Do you know what your mother is going to do?"
The little girl shook her head and said, "I don't want to see my mother come back!"
Shang Xia thought for a while and said, "Okay, you go to a place with me first, and then your uncle will bring your mother back!"
Shang Xia took the little girl back home, took the iron tire bow hanging on the wall, and then took the little girl out, bought several packs of food along the way, and then led her directly to the Wu Ji blacksmith shop.
Outside the blacksmith shop, Shang Xia looked at the copper bell hanging under the signboard, which was ringing in the cold wind, and then took Hai Yuanyuan directly into the backyard of the shop.
Lao Wu hurried to meet him, and was stunned when he saw that he was still holding a little girl in his hand.
"Can I please find someone to take care of you for two days? I can leave the money, and if I can't come back, I will trouble you to send the child to the merchant in Tongyou City, mention my name, and they will naturally adopt the child at that time." ”
As he spoke, Shang Xia took out a bag of silver dollars from his cuffs, and the sound of "rattling" sounded like there were at least hundreds.
This pack of silver dollars was still Shang Xia's reward for a supernatural sword talisman from Yu Chengjin, the sword elder of the Sword Gate, and he never had time to use it when he carried it with him.
Lao Wu was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly waved his hand and said, "How can this be done?"
Shang Xia couldn't help but slapped the silver dollar into his hand and said, "Don't let the child be wronged!"
After that, he squatted down in front of Hai Yuanyuan and said, "You go with this old man first, and my uncle promises to bring your mother back, okay?"
The little girl nodded sensibly, and then walked to Lao Wu's side by herself, and while looking up at Lao Wu, she reached out to pull Lao Wu's fingers covered with bronze calluses, and said, "Hello grandpa!"
"Hey...... Well, little doll...... Good job!"
Lao Wu was a little at a loss, and hurriedly shouted into the workshop, and an apprentice flashed out of it and didn't know where he went.
After a while, a mother-in-law in her fifties came from the upper room in the back.
Lao Wu hurriedly explained the little girl to her, and told her to take care of it like a granddaughter, so he told her to leave with the child first.
The little girl obediently took the old woman's hand and left, while looking back at Shang Xia.
Shang Xia suddenly made a grimace at the little girl, and the little girl immediately "giggled" and laughed.
Seeing that the little girl was taken away, Shang Xia still looked at the direction she left with some amazement.
Lao Wu next to him said in a low voice: "Don't worry, your kid, my mother-in-law will take care of her." ”
"Oh, oh?"
Shang Xia glanced at Lao Wu in some astonishment, then came to his senses, looked around and said, "Where is Mr. Bu, I'm going to see him?"
Unexpectedly, Lao Wu shook his head and said, "Mr. Bu is not here, he has already left Changfeng City with Yang Hu early in the morning, but he has already left a message at the agreed place in advance, saying that Yang Hu may have been suspicious of him, and this time he can only leave with him." He also said that you should give up all your plans and quit Changfeng City, so as to protect yourself, and don't take any risks. At the same time, I also want you to inform the people outside the city not to enter Changfeng City, and dismiss them on the spot!"
Although the news left by Mr. Bu was not explicitly stated, the "people outside the city" who asked him to dismiss actually referred to the people of Youyan Eighteen Cavalry after the split of Cen Wu and others, and now Hai Min may have joined these people.
Shang Xia knew in his heart that it would be too late to stop them now, maybe under the leadership of Haimin, these people would have already entered the city by now.
