If what Xia Xiaoxiao heard before could only make her slightly moved, then when the words Gudumen came out in the end, the chopsticks that Xia Xiaoxiao had not held firmly in her hand suddenly fell to the table, and the two people who were talking behind her turned to stare at their table, closed their mouths and didn't say more.

Tonight, it seems to be drizzling outside, and the spring season has always been the rainy season, allowing those who have faded from the dead leaves and wrinkled skin to regain the new season.

Xia Xiaoxiao stayed awake all night.

The second day was quite early, but there was no hurry to get there, and the coachman got up earlier than she did, and went from the market to prepare the dry food for the next few days.

It rained outside the house overnight, Xia Xiaoxiao has been accustomed to this kind of weather with rain at night and sunny days in recent days, she came out of the inn a little stunned, the coachman was ready to go, Xia Xiaoxiao stood in front of the carriage, as if thinking about something.

Seeing her distracted, the coachman Ah Yi couldn't help but glance at the sky at the end of the hour, "Aren't you in a hurry?" How can going out look like you're here to enjoy the mountains and rivers? ”

Xia Xiaoxiao came back to his senses and got into the carriage leisurely, no, it was not so much to get into the carriage as to sit on the edge of the carriage next to Ah Yi, and said disapprerovingly, "Although it is important to rush in this weather, the road is still long, and you can't be busy and panicked together, go out, important things are important, but it is also very important to maintain a good attitude." ”

Ah Yi glanced at her, raised the whip on the horse's back, and the carriage began to move forward with the wheels turning, because it was not far from the city pass, so it didn't take long to arrive, and the coachman handed the pass issued by the official to the official before letting go, at that time, Xia Xiaoxiao saw a few people who were walking long way to Nanming, and the two people who were talking about the martial arts conference in the inn last night were also among them.

It wasn't until he was far away from the city gate that Xia Xiaoxiao took his eyes off the two of them and asked, "Jiang Yicheng is also going in this direction?" ”

"Well, but the road will be divided in the future, but it is not far from Nanming Kingdom, and going up to the next city is the road to Jiangyi City."

Xia Xiaoxiao thought for a long time, and said for a long time, "Then let's go to Jiangyi City first." ”

"Aren't you in a hurry to go to Nanming? Although you can also get to Jiangyi City, you have to go around a lot, and besides, I heard that ......" Ah Yi glanced at her, and stopped talking.

"And what?" Xia Xiaoxiao subconsciously asked him.

Ah Yi glanced back, the two people Xia Xiaoxiao was looking at before were also behind their car, but both of them were riding horses, and it didn't take long for the speed of the horse to overtake them, Ah Yi said slowly, "I heard those two people say that this martial arts conference on the rivers and lakes will be held in Jiangyicheng, and now these sects on the rivers and lakes are not very stable, and the time to Jiangyicheng at our speed is just the time when the martial arts conference starts, and it was chaotic at that time." ”

Xia Xiaoxiao was stunned, the figures of the two people riding horses in front of her threw them out of the distance in an instant, she turned her head and stared at Ah Yi with some surprise, "Do you know the time of the martial arts conference?" ”

Although Ah Yi eavesdropped on other people's conversations with her last night, she listened attentively because she heard what she cared about, okay, even Ah Yi was a little curious about these, but those people didn't say when the martial arts conference was held last night, not to mention how did he know that these sects on the rivers and lakes were not stable now? In her opinion, at least the people in the rivers and lakes in Jingzhou City are very stable.

Xia Xiaoxiao was a little surprised, according to her thoughts, these little people should probably know so much about the things on the rivers and lakes, after all, she, who is so interested, doesn't know very clearly, of course, part of the reason is because he has been locked up in the palace by Beigong Yu for a long time, and what he has heard recently is about Murong Tianlian's trip to Jiang Yicheng.

In fact, when she first came out, she planned to go to the place where the martial arts conference was held to observe and play by the way, she didn't know how long she had been thinking about this martial arts flourish, and finally left the imperial city and walked so far, and finally could see the rivers and lakes she had in mind with her own eyes, she was not excited, but when she knew that Murong Tianlian would also go at that time, Xia Xiaoxiao dispelled this idea.

Murong Tinglian is the owner of the Red Guest Building, what is the Red Guest House for? has rarely really appeared in the field of vision of people in the rivers and lakes, just because Hongkelou has never had a grudge with any faction of any party, and he only wants to be happy and happy as he wants, Murong Tianlian likes silver, so as long as someone can afford to open the conditions or open the silver, what news do you want or ask them to help do something, the people of Hongkelou can help you complete it, and it is done cleanly, in fact, it is not because there are no grievances, but because there are grievances, most of them do not exist, and the same is said, For him to be willing to offend a certain force, the premise must be that he can afford it.

Yes, Xia Xiaoxiao only realized that Murong Tianlian had helped her from Beigong Yu's hands, how could it be because he didn't give him the five hundred taels of silver that he still needed to pay an IOU? Murong Tilting wants to send her to the Red Guest Building, she doesn't know what he wants to do, but it's definitely not a good thing, now she is almost half a month away from running out of Qingxuan's hands, if Murong Tilting doesn't know, it's okay, if she knows, she may not plan to find her with Beigong Yu, since Murong Tilting is going to Jiang Yicheng, she can only avoid it, in case a person accidentally runs into his Red Guest Building, she is not sure if Murong Tilt has issued a wanted warrant for the people in his building, so she has to give up the idea of going to watch the excitement, Thinking that as long as she found Luozhi, eighty percent of Murong Tilting couldn't do anything with her.

But she heard the words of the two people who were going to Jiang Yicheng last night, and what these people went to the martial arts conference this time for is very likely to be the inexplicable totem, so many sects on the rivers and lakes have gone, and it seems that Gudumen is also included.

She still remembers that Luozhi is a person from Gudumen.

If the people of Gudumen will also go to the martial arts conference for the totem this time, does it mean that Luozhi may also go?

Actually, she can't wait.

Ah Yi glanced at the outfit on her body, in fact, at a glance, it was barely a chivalrous dress, and she also deliberately pinned the small short sword she bought at her waist, at first glance, Ah Yi really almost thought that she should know a lot about these things, but as soon as Xia Xiaoxiao's words came out, Ah Yi's face became strange again, "Now the rivers and lakes are full of young ladies and alleys, who should not know?" ”

"Tell me."

Xia Xiaoxiao looked at Ah Yi's strange eyes, and suddenly felt that if he wanted to be a generation of heroes in the rivers and lakes, he might be a little far behind, so he took off the short sword on his waist and threw it into the car, and adjusted a comfortable position to sit next to Ah Yi, intending to be honestly taught.

"The time for the release of the news was set at the end of April, and now that it has been so long, there is still a month and a half to start to hold, as long as you have heard a little about this kind of thing, you should know about it, since you don't know anything, what are you going to do?"

When Ah Yi asked this, he looked at Xia Xiaoxiao with a blank look, and when Xia Xiaoxiao raised his eyes, he seemed to be concentrating on driving the horses.

Xia Xiaoxiao thought about it, if it weren't for the possibility that Luozhi might appear there, maybe she would not go directly to Nanming because of Murong Tinglian, right? opened his mouth and replied to him truthfully, "Find someone." ”

"I went to Nanming to find someone?" Ah Yi asked again.

Xia Xiaoxiao turned his head and stared at him, he didn't seem to have heard him say a few words when he was on the road with him two days ago, she asked a question and he answered, today he actually asked her two questions in a row, Xia Xiaoxiao was a little surprised, isn't it because the coachman looked at her unpleasantly a few days ago that he ignored people so much, in fact, he is not a person with few words? Thinking of this, Xia Xiaoxiao suddenly felt that he had to communicate with him, so as not to make himself seem bored along the way, but he didn't answer him, and asked him instead, "Those of you who are coachmen are indeed well-informed people along the way, and you should have heard a lot of gossip or other gossip on the rivers and lakes, so I was a little surprised that I didn't think of this stubble, and now I think about it, you should indeed know something." ”

"Gossip...... For example, what kind of things are considered gossip? You see me like a gossip driver? ”

The corners of Ah Yi's mouth twitched, and he pointed to his helpless words.

"How do I know if you're gossiping or not...... However, there seems to be a lot of gossip following the martial arts conference, have you ever heard of the sect of the ancient ferry sect in the rivers and lakes? ”

Xia Xiaoxiao said as he grabbed a handful of melon seeds from a pile of dry food in the car and swallowed it.

Unexpectedly, this time Ah Yi's answer to her returned to the state of the previous two days, and replied to her lightly, "I don't know." ”

Xia Xiaoxiao's little luck mentality suddenly disappeared again, it seems that she still has to find a way to find this news again, and when she arrives in Jiang Yicheng, if she is lucky, she may be able to see the fall! When she thought of this, she felt that it didn't matter if she couldn't find out about the things on the rivers and lakes, what was going on, and when she arrived in Jiang Yicheng and saw it with her own eyes, wouldn't she know everything? Maybe it wasn't as smooth as she thought it would be to see the fall, but she couldn't let go of the chance to find him, and what if she accidentally missed it?

As for Murong Tilting...... Jiang Yicheng is so big, her luck should not be unlucky to that extent, she comforted herself like this, she figured it out in her heart, and breathed a sigh of relief, last night because of the entanglement of whether to go or not to go to this matter she was entangled all night and did not sleep well, this time relieved, sleepiness struck, although the sky was blue, but this could not withstand her tiredness, threw away the melon seed shell in her hand and lay down in the carriage, and said to Ah Yi, "I don't know how far it is from here to Jiang Yicheng, you can estimate it yourself, Before the martial arts conference, we can get there, I have covered all your food money, you can't miss my business. ”

After saying that, he fell into a deep sleep.

Fortunately, the one who spent more money was different, and in the next few days, Ah Yi drove the horse very responsibly, according to his estimate, it would take more than a month to get to Jiangyi City, and they rarely rested on the way, except when it was time to sleep, and when they arrived in a town, they would rest in an inn or find a farmhouse to spend the night.

Ah Yi shouldn't know that she is a woman, so Xia Xiaoxiao is very relieved that there will be no accidents, unless the coachman is a broken sleeve, after all, his men's clothes still look a little bit beautiful, as soon as he has this idea, when he gets to the mountains, that is, she sleeps in the carriage, and Ah Yi sleeps outside the carriage.

From Yong'an Temple to avoid these roads after Beigong Yu, after nearly two months of eating and sleeping, Xia Xiaoxiao's road is not so smooth, fortunately, he also suffered a lot when he was a child, resulting in such a bumpy day now that he is not as unbearable as the average boudoir woman, at the same time, Xia Xiaoxiao sometimes can't help but sigh that the profession of the coachman is really not good, he has to take people to drive such a long way, and he can't eat or drink well, after all, he looks young, maybe he hasn't married a daughter-in-law yet, How much money can you make by working so hard as a driver? Xia Xiaoxiao is sometimes a soft-hearted person, and he can't help but pity the coachman for a while, and like the previous one, he occasionally gives him a small reward.

But the money is given, Xia Xiaoxiao is occasionally such a person who likes to listen to good words, Ah Yi is a little colder, not very talkative, but not even a thank you uncle for rewarding such words, Xia Xiaoxiao is idle and bored in the car, and he can't help but feel that he can't make it.

At this time, the sky has gradually sunken, and once the winter chill passes, it is ushered in a few traces of cool breath of spring, and Xia Xiaoxiao doesn't think there is anything wrong with this twilight. It's just that they are walking on a mountain road, and she has actually gradually become accustomed to the fatigue on the road in the past month, as long as she occasionally thinks that the time to see the fall is decreasing day by day, and she feels less tired on such a dry day, but what she heard on the road recently made her a little uneasy.

Along the way, Xia Xiaoxiao probably also knew that Jiang Yicheng was actually located at a junction between Yue Hua and Nanming Kingdom, where most of the Jianghu sects were standing, and as the day of the martial arts conference was approaching day by day, for some reason, these nearby areas seemed to have become less peaceful, as Ah Yi once said, it was chaotic.

It was only seven or eight days away from Jiangyi City, and they could reach it by going straight to the next town, but in this area, they had met several groups of people along the way, all of whom hurried to Jiangyi like them, including chivalrous people, merchants, and ordinary people visiting relatives......

As soon as the word robber came out, Xia Xiaoxiao's whole person fled.

I heard that the robbers encountered by those people were still two hits, and even a dart game with a dart was robbed, which shows that the ability is not weak. But when I think of robbers who generally rob people who look rich, she and the coachman in this line of carriages don't look so rich, but right here, in addition to their own burdens, the silver in it is enough for the robbers to kill people and take money for it!

Seeing that the sky was getting darker by one at this time, and he was in the mountains and wilderness, Xia Xiaoxiao was actually a little cowardly, so he talked to mention his courage, "Hey, I don't think your temperament is actually very suitable for being a coachman." ”

Ah Yi didn't reply to her, Xia Xiaoxiao found an example for him, "The coachman uncle who sent me from Baicha Town to Jingzhou City before, people are also doing this industry, people know how to make employers less boring on such a boring road, I think you should learn from others, although maybe you are not very used to it because you have just entered this industry, but you have to be a little professional to do a line, you don't talk all day long, don't you feel bored and panicked?" ”

Ah Yi replied to her lightly, "I don't think so." ”

Obviously, Ah Yi doesn't know what she is thinking, even if she knows it, she looks down on her, in Ah Yi's eyes, she is a man, although a man who looks a little weak, he is a man, so easy to coax is a little unmanly.

And Xia Xiaoxiao has always been known for being timid, and when he heard Ah Yi's perfunctory words, he was a little uncomfortable, and wanted him to walk more cautiously, so he said that for some reason, he beaked a crow's mouth, "You said that we shouldn't meet robbers halfway like those people in the daytime, right?" ”

As soon as the words came out, Xia Xiaoxiao wanted to bite the tip of her tongue, and looked at the black road ahead that she couldn't see clearly, because the night was not yet dark, she seemed to see something shaking vaguely.

Then she heard Ah Yi, who had always been calm on the side, also say to her very calmly this time, "Unfortunately, maybe you're right." ”

Xia Xiaoxiao didn't even have time to sweat on his forehead, and suddenly a strong force on his shoulder pushed him into the car, and Xia Xiaoxiao's whole person fell backwards unexpectedly!

The back of her head slammed into the car screen, her back was facing the sky, no, she was facing the roof of the car, and a long sword that looked bright in the night was nailed straight to the top of her head, and the hilt of the sword was still shaking twice with the force that had not yet dissipated!

Xia Xiaoxiao stared straight at her eyes, and cold sweat ran down her forehead, if it wasn't for Fang Cai Ah Yi pushing her shoulder, then this sword should have been nailed straight into her head!

"Hmph, the reaction is quite fast!"

The last ray of light on the horizon is hidden in the woods, this is a cypress forest, the four seasons are not dry, although the leaves on the trees are also lush in winter and spring, covering the road of this mountain field firmly, before Xia Xiaoxiao vaguely saw that the moving thing was coming to them, but it was not the kind of slow coming, flying like running towards this side!

Hearing this voice, Xia Xiaoxiao reacted, and without thinking about it, she got up and put the burden on her back, now her life is as important as the silver master, and she wants to pull out the long sword nailed to the car to defend herself, but after pulling it out twice, she found that she didn't move, and then she remembered that she still had a small short sword!

And just as Xia Xiaoxiao was still looking for the short sword, she suddenly heard a few sounds outside, and the long sword that was still nailed to the car was suddenly pulled up and slashed across her ear, the sharp silver light shook her eyes, Xia Xiaoxiao thought to herself that it was over, and she had to die here if she finally came to this point!

However, after waiting for a long time, the long sword that I thought was against my neck did not have a long sword, and the imaginary scene of being wiped on her neck did not happen, she turned her head in hindsight, obediently, she forgot that there was a coachman outside, but at this time the coachman surprised her a little.

It was already dark outside, but fortunately there was a meager moonlight, and she could barely see the outside, there was not only one robber, but seven or eight!

"What are you doing in a daze, you can't come out yet!"

With a sound, Xia Xiaoxiao heard Ah Yi's voice, Xia Xiaoxiao heard the sound and looked over, the long sword that was nailed to the car was being held by him in his hand, and the seven or eight robbers outside were fighting with him, and he stopped him and couldn't rely on the carriage, Xia Xiaoxiao was not stunned, she was really stunned when she saw this scene.

"Hmph, this is how the people of Qingwu Pavilion hide their heads and show their tails?"

The man who was facing Ah Yi sneered, Xia Xiaoxiao saw that several people were dressed in black, and it stands to reason that robbers should not be dressed like this.

Ah Yi also wrung his eyebrows, but did not answer, the corners of his eyes swept away, and seeing that Xia Xiaoxiao was still stunned in the car, a dark-skinned face couldn't help but continue to darken a little, "Sit and wait for death?" ”

Xia Xiaoxiao barely came back to her senses, her head just poked out of the carriage half a foot, and a person above her head stabbed her head with a sword, Xia Xiaoxiao was shocked, a long sword said that it was too late to block it head-on, and the person seemed to be pulled out, but just one by one, the seven or eight people Xia Xiaoxiao saw were only the four people who surrounded the carriage at this time, and they were directly opposite the person who seemed to be the leader, obviously not expecting that his seven or eight people were defeated, and immediately ordered, "Kill them all, not one will be left!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Ah Yi raised the sword in his hand, slashed to the reins of the horse, and jumped onto the horse's back with Xia Xiaoxiao in his arms, the dead man suddenly surrounded him, and a person's foot fell on the horse's hip lightly, Ah Yi didn't blink, a sword slashed straight at the man's leg, the sword in the man's hand fell off the horse before it could fall, and it just fell in front of the other three people to block the way they were chasing, the leader's eyes were cold, a whistle blew, and the horse that was lurking before immediately rushed over, A few people jumped on horseback and chased after them.

Xia Xiaoxiao was still in shock.

The horse was galloping like a gallop at this time, so that she didn't even mean to be scared at all now, and her heart was completely shocked.

She never thought that the coachman who had driven her horse for more than a month would be able to do martial arts! And judging from the previous skills, it seems that the martial arts are not weak!

"How did you become a coachman?"

The sound of the wind in her ears galloped, blowing Xia Xiaoxiao's green silk unkempt, and after a long time, she held back such a sentence.

Ah Yi behind him seemed to stiffen, and only after a while did he say, "Hide from the enemy." ”

Xia Xiaoxiao suddenly remembered that the person seemed to have mentioned one, and she blurted out and asked, "Are you from Qingwu Pavilion?" ”

She turned her head slightly, swept the corners of her eyes, and swept to the black-clothed people who were chasing after them reluctantly, her little face turned white and startled, she tied the burden on her chest tighter and firmer, and pulled the reins with her hand to prevent herself from falling and said hurriedly, "Hurry up!" Your enemy is catching up later! ”

Ah Yi also glanced back, his eyebrows tightened, and with a soft drink, the horse under him seemed to have enough strength and rushed forward as if fleeing for his life, and when he came back to his senses, Xia Xiaoxiao's internal organs were turned upside down, but it was still important to escape, and she suppressed the feeling that she wanted to vomit.
