Chapter 156: Success is in the sky
On the tea stall outside Changxing City, Bai Xiaohan took a hat and pretended to be a peasant woman who went to the city to run errands, and sat alone at a tea table with Yaoli, and a large number of soldiers around him were searching the merchants from the north and south one by one, but for some reason the two of them were not interested.
A caravan of mules and horses happened to pass near the tea stall, and the smell of the smell immediately attracted a burst of scolding, and no one noticed that there was a note on one of the tea tables.
Bai Xiaohan unfolded the note and glanced at it hurriedly, and his brows suddenly furrowed.
"There's good news and bad news, which do you want to hear first?"
Yaoli turned pale and said in a low voice: "We took such a big risk to sneak back for the news, as long as there is news, it is good news." ”
Bai Xiaohan sighed and said: "The bad news is that the barbarians of the Northern Dynasty started very quickly, and more than 30 dark lines that have not been used have all been dug up, and the arrangement of more than ten years has been ruined, so we can't receive any information from the Northern Dynasty Imperial Court."
But the good news is that seeing that people from all walks of life in the Northern Dynasty are still searching for Xu Rui's whereabouts, it means that they haven't found that guy yet, and we still have hope.
It's just that I really can't figure out who caught Xu Rui, if it's really a dark chess, why don't you contact me? ”
Yao Li asked, "Is there any news from the person sent to the Wenbi Tower?" ”
Bai Xiaohan shook his head: "I sent three people, two of them were captured by the officers and soldiers after walking halfway, and although the last one arrived at the Wenbi Tower, I didn't find any clues. ”
Yaoli nodded and said, "Let's go, time is limited." ”
As he spoke, he got up and wanted to leave, but as soon as he stood up, he felt that the world was spinning, and if he hadn't held on to the corner of the table, he might have fallen to the ground.
Bai Xiaohan hurriedly hugged him, worried: "Martial Saint is a Martial Saint after all, your wounds have not healed, otherwise go to a safe place to recuperate for a few days." ”
Yaoli shook his head: "It's okay, I can hold on." ”
After speaking, he broke away from Bai Xiaohan's hand and walked forward by himself.
"Stop! What do you do? ”
Within two steps, several of the soldiers in charge of the search surrounded him, their eyes drifting slanted.
Bai Xiaohan hurriedly walked up and hugged him to leave, and said softly: "Several military masters, my father-in-law is seriously ill, and we are here to get medicine in the city. ”
"Grab the medicine?"
The captain who took the lead looked at her a few times and frowned.
"There is an order from the imperial court, these days are extraordinary times, take off your hat!"
Bai Xiaohan shook slightly, but did not move.
The captain's face changed slightly, and his right hand slowly grasped the hilt of the sword.
Bai Xiaohan didn't want to cause trouble, so he sighed, and reluctantly took off the hat on his head.
"Brother, don't you want to guide the little lady? It's a mess in the city right now, what if the little lady gets lost? ”
Hearing the captain's order, several soldiers and ruffians immediately understood and surrounded them with a lewd smile.
If you want to clench your fist slightly, you have to make a move, Bai Xiaohan hurriedly grabbed him, and handed the captain a sign with a smile: "Master Jun, I have relatives with Xianggong in the city, so I won't bother everyone." ”
The captain took the sign and saw that it was actually a waist card of a brocade guard, and his color suddenly changed, and he looked at her in astonishment.
Bai Xiaohan sneered and lowered his voice: "Jinyiwei is handling the case, why don't you get out of here?!" ”
Seeing that her momentum had changed drastically, she looked like a peasant woman, and that it was not unusual for the street to be full of brocade guards in the past few days, so he hurriedly handed the sign back to her, and then beckoned his men to leave.
But at this moment, there was a sudden shout behind everyone.
"What's going on here?!"
A few people turned their heads to look, and saw the exhausted Li Kuang leading a large number of brocade guards on horseback.
Li Kuang searched outside the city for three days and three nights, and was already exhausted, and at this time he was about to go back to the city to rest for a while, but he happened to see a group of soldiers surrounding a beautiful woman, thinking that it was another soldier ruffian making trouble, so he was ready to come and have a look.
In the secret room, Lu Kang and Ning Xianru arrived as promised.
Ning Xianru's face was a little stiff, but Lu Kang was smiling as always.
Seeing Xu Rui's haggard face, Lu Kang smiled and said, "What's the matter, Xu Gongzi is not used to living here?" Also, the conditions here are simple, how can a noble person like Xu Gongzi get used to it? Once we've got what we want, you're ready to go home and get a good night's sleep. ”
Xu Rui snorted coldly, ignored his nonsense, and threw a fist-sized thing to him.
Lu Kang took a look, only to see that it was a sheepskin, wrapped in a small ball and a jade plate.
The sheepskin was vaguely marked with a series of markings that looked like a map, and the balls and jade plaques were engraved with some incomprehensible symbols, and it was not known what they were used for.
Lu Kang found that all three things were covered with a slippery coating, as if they were wax.
"What is this?"
Lu Kang looked at Xu Rui suspiciously.
Xu Rui said: "This is the location and token that leads to the Immortal Mansion. ”
Lu Kang frowned: "These are these three things?" ”
Xu Rui said angrily: "You put out the oil lamp and look at it." ”
Lu Kang hesitated slightly, flicked his fingers, and a strong wind shot out, instantly blowing out the oil lamp, and the secret room suddenly became pitch black.
"Hiss......"
Almost as soon as the oil lamp went out, everyone immediately let out a gasp sound, and it turned out that these three seemingly ordinary things actually emitted bursts of fluorescence in the dark, like night pearls.
"It's a big coincidence, the things of the fairy family are really extraordinary!"
Lu Kang lit the oil lamp again, holding the three things in his hand in admiration.
Xu Rui snorted coldly and said, "Don't blame me for not reminding you, the road to immortality is dangerous, and if you are not careful, you will die without a place to be buried!" ”
Lu Kang didn't care, and said with a smile: "This is going to ask Xu Gongzi to help more, if I die, who will let you out?" ”
Xu Rui rolled his eyes and said coldly: "There are ways to use tokens and spells on the back of the map, you must act strictly according to what is said above, otherwise don't blame me if you are cursed." ”
Lu Kang was stunned: "Xu Gongzi means that he doesn't plan to go with us?" ”
Xu Rui sneered: "I want to go, but do you dare to take me out?" ”
Lu Kang was speechless, he did have the means to smuggle Xu Rui out, but there were officers and soldiers looking for Xu Rui everywhere outside, and the matter was serious, and he was not sure that he would not dare to take risks.
Perhaps in order to divert the embarrassment, he moved his gaze to the map and looked at it carefully for a moment, and said suspiciously: "It seems that this Xianjia Cave Mansion is not far from Changxing City?" ”
"Nonsense!"
Xu Rui said as a matter of course: "If it's too far, how can I take out the treasure and put it in the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion to sell?" ”
Lu Kang was noncommittal, pointing to a text on the back of the map and asking, "Hey, what does this mean?" ”
Xu Rui said solemnly: "That is the language of the immortal family, which means filial piety to the sky." ”
"Hey, it's filial piety, huh...... Then this sentence is also the language of the fairy family? ”
Lu Kang repeated a bowel message, still asking uneasily.
Xu Rui waved his hand: "You don't care what that means, just follow the recitation, remember that there can be no half-point difference in the movement and direction when reciting the incantation, otherwise, hum." ”
Lu Kang nodded, carefully tucking the three things into his pocket.
"I hope that Xu Gongzi is sincere this time, and I really don't want to make trouble unpleasant."
Xu Rui leaned against the wall, tilted his head to the side, and ignored his nonsense.
Lu Kang glanced at him deeply and walked out of the secret room with Ning Xianru.
"Hey, those three things you made last night really saved us?"
As soon as the two left, Cao Wanxi hurriedly whispered to Xu Rui.
Xu Rui sighed: "It is up to people to make things happen, and it is up to heaven to make things happen, no matter whether they are good or bad." ”
Cao Wanxi thought for a while, and then asked, "What is it that can make maps and tokens shine?" ”
Xu Rui sneered: "It's something that can kill you!" ”
Outside the secret room, Shangguan Buda's old butler knocked on the door of a farmer, holding a large amount of money, and said with a flattering smile: "Divine envoy, this is our regular money this month." ”
This farmer is the one who was searched by Li Kuang before, but he was submissive at the time, but now he looks arrogant, and he is a bit of a "divine envoy".
He grabbed the money from the old butler's hand and waved his hand impatiently: "The amount is right, you go quickly." ”
After speaking, he slammed the door shut.
"Strange, he seems to be in a hurry?"
In the past, these so-called divine envoys would pretend to be more or less expensive when they got the money, and say something pretending to be profound, but this time they didn't even talk about this rule.
The old housekeeper is also a person who has seen the world, and now it is an extraordinary period, so he suddenly feels very weird.
He was walking back in confusion, but after walking a few steps, he heard a very rhythmic "dong dong" sound.
"What is this?"
The old butler was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but look around.
