Chapter 318: Qin Xiang made a move
Luo Feng and the six of them came to the study of the pavilion master Dongfang Xuyu to ask for instructions. Li Xuehua, the wife of the pavilion master, said that this trip would be extremely dangerous, because those who had followed Li Wen would definitely not sit still
Luo Feng said that if these people are not eliminated, there will be endless troubles. Judging from their attack on the Tang Dynasty peace talks mission and yesterday's burning of Li's library, these people's actions were organized and purposeful.
"You must be careful on the way and return safely" Dongfang Xuyu knew the stake in this matter, so he agreed that Luo Feng would lead the team to the Meizu territory to find clues.
"You're not afraid that they will go and never return," Li Xuehua's face showed a look of worry.
"Gubei won't let his son have an accident," Dongfang Xuyu didn't know the bottom of his heart. But he couldn't stop Luo Feng and others from investigating the case, because Luo Feng was ordered by the emperor
Xu Guogong heard the report of the spies, and after Gu Xiaodong participated in the grievances between the two clans, he slapped the table angrily.
"Do you want to help him," Yan Ming asked outside the door of Xu Guogong's study.
"Just protect Gu Xiaodong", where can Xu Guogong not care about Gu Xiaodong's life or death, he is the only son of Gu Bei after all
Luo Feng and his party of six rode horses on the official road. Qizhou was in sight, and Nie Yang asked Luo Feng if he could settle here. Luo Feng asked everyone to go into the city to eat a bowl of noodles and continue to hurry. When the enemy is dark and we are in the dark, there are dangers everywhere.
The hot noodles dispelled the cold on the six people of Luo Feng, and everyone's fatigue dissipated a lot.
"Arrive at Luzhou tonight," Luo Feng got up and walked out of the noodle shop, turned over and got on the horse.
Nie Yang paid the bill, and then came out with everyone to get on the horse and gallop. The leaves on the side of the road withered, and the withered yellow leaves on the ground were swept up by Luo Feng and the other horses through the whirling wind before falling.
Night falls on the city of Takishu. Luo Feng and the others entered the city when the city gate was about to close. Most of the houses in the city have their lights out, and only the inns, restaurants, and fireworks are brightly lit.
Nie Yang found a clean inn for everyone to stay. Luo Feng looked at the footwashing water that Gu Xiaodong called him, and he was very happy. The water is hot, and the heart is warm.
"Be vigilant tonight," Luo Feng reminded Gu Xiaodong.
"Well, Han Zhao kept vigil, it will be fine" Gu Xiaodong admired Han Zhao very much. Han Zhao doesn't like to laugh, but he is very rigorous in his work.
Gu Xiaodong washed his feet without wiping them, and fell asleep while lying on the bed. Luo Feng dried his feet and then went to pour water. When he came back, he covered Gu Xiaodong with a quilt, blew out the candle, and walked out of the house with his footwashing water.
When Luo Feng was cleaning the wooden basin in the backyard and walking back, he saw Han Zhao sitting on the roof of the third-story inn. As soon as Luo Feng entered the inn from the backyard, he saw the innkeeper lying on the counter.
Luo Feng had already noticed something was wrong, but he continued to go upstairs without moving. He went to the door and found it hidden. His heart was shocked, and he slammed the door open with a basin.
A volley of darts flew head-on. Luo Feng moved backwards and used a wooden basin to block the attack of the darts.
Two black shadows burst out of the room and attacked Luo Feng. Luo Feng's sword was in the house, and he had to meet the enemy with his bare hands. When he saw that there was no movement in Nie Yang's room, his heart couldn't help but sink.
Luo Feng threw the wooden basin downstairs, and the sound made Han Zhao on the roof startled. He immediately flew into the inn through the window, only to find two black-clothed masked men fighting with the empty-handed Luo Feng with swords.
The two of them were extremely fast, and Luo Feng was already in danger. Han Zhao stabbed a man in black with his sword. The man heard the wind behind him and dodged to the right.
Luo Feng's palm struck the man's right shoulder, and the man's body flew out. Luo Feng was cut on his right arm by another man in black. His sleeves were stained red with blood. Han Zhao's sword arrived in front of the man. The man was armed with a sword and killed Han Zhao in one place.
Luo Feng was worried about Gu Xiaodong and the three of them, so he flashed into the house to check. The beds in the house were empty, and there was still a trace of Gu Xiaodong
Luo Feng frowned and grabbed his sword with his left hand, and then went out and entered Nie Yang's house next door. A puff of white smoke hit Luofeng.
Luo Feng hurriedly held his breath and withdrew, and a petite black-clothed masked man flashed out of the room. She slapped Luo Feng's chest. Luo Feng moved his body backwards and abandoned his sword, and took the man's palm with Yang Wei's skill.
Luo Feng felt that the other party's internal force was strong, and his people had been knocked downstairs.
Seeing that Luo Feng was about to fall to the ground. At this time, a quick figure rushed over and grabbed Luo Feng, who was about to land. Luo Feng stood firm and looked at it, and couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised
"Little East"
"Brother Luo" Nie Yang and Mo Yu also walked into the inn.
The man upstairs was surprised that Luo Feng's skill had improved so quickly, and this palm had not hurt him. and Gu Xiaodong and the three of them were obviously taken away by their own people, how could they come back, there must be someone secretly helping. Therefore the man did not love war, and withdrew with the men.
"Who saved you" Luo Feng's left hand grabbed Gu Xiaodong's arm and asked excitedly.
"I don't know who it is, we woke up in front of the inn," Gu Xiaodong also smiled at Luo Feng's shoulders with both hands. But he felt his left hand wet. He brought his left hand in front of him to look at it, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Brother Luo, you are injured"
Nie Yang took out the fire fold and lit the oil lamp in the inn. Mo Yu tore open Luo Feng's sleeve, took out the wound medicine and sprinkled it on the wound on Luo Feng's right arm.
"It's okay, it's just that I was scratched by the sword," Luo Feng frowned. He sprinkled the medicine on the wound, causing him to feel a burst of pain in his heart.
Tong Jing brought water and scrubbed the blood stains on Luo Feng's arm. Mo Yu asked Gu Xiaodong to go to his room to get a clean linen cloth and bandage it for Luo Feng.
Luo Feng's right arm was injured with old injuries and new injuries, and he couldn't lift it up. After he changed his clothes with the help of Gu Xiaodong, he asked Mo Yu to hang his right arm on his chest.
"Look at the figure, there is no doubt that it is the charm that attacks us," Han Zhao was wiping his sword.
"The person who slapped me was a woman, and her skills were not weak. If I'm not mistaken, she should be Qin Xiang next to Han Zixin," Luo Feng recalled the situation at that time.
"The one who fights with me must be Sang Zi, I already think his swordsmanship is familiar," Han Zhao's sword was already in the sheath. Gu Xiaodong also picked up Luo Feng's sword and hung it on his waist.
"Let's hurry first" Luo Feng and the others got out of the inn, turned on their horses and went straight to the gate of the North City. But there they were stopped by officers and soldiers.
Luo Feng said that they were ordered by the emperor to investigate the case, but the officers and soldiers who defended the city had to see the warrant. Luo Feng just received an edict from the emperor of Lu Nan, where is there any warrant
The officers and soldiers defending the city refused to let them go, saying that they had to be checked before they could do it, and then the people from the yamen also arrived. The innkeeper where Luo Feng and the others stayed died, and the guests were also drugged. There were still traces of a fight in the inn, and Luo Feng and his party were in a hurry to get out of the city, so they were designated as suspects.
Luo Feng knew that this trip could not be delayed, otherwise once Li Wen's people escaped from the territory of the Meizu Clan, the clue would be broken.
The person who reported to the official must be Qin Xiang, otherwise the people from the official government would not have come so quickly, and among the officers and soldiers who intercepted them, someone must have accepted her benefits. It seems that this Qin Xiang is not simple, and he has to face someone who is even more difficult to deal with Luo Feng was secretly thinking in his heart.
