Chapter 71: Searching for People
When I woke up the next day, it was close to noon. Xia Fanxing found that Ji Yanliu and Qin Blind Zheng Yanei were all in the bedroom arranged for him by Li Wan. Ji Yanliu looked at him with distressed eyes, as if she wanted to say something, but she stopped talking.
Hearing that he was awake, the blind man Qin walked in from the door, and said with a smile: "Congratulations, break through the foundation!"
"Thank you, hero. Xia Fanxing thought that he had stopped at the Qiding Foundation last night, and he had done it extremely painfully. There was a faint melancholy in my heart, and it was difficult to let go.
“... If you have a back injury, you should pay more attention to rest. Jin Dao Chang let you..."The blind man suddenly became a little strange, and said something to make him pay attention to his injuries. The usual heroes, how can they be so twisted?
"Qin Daxia, the younger generation remembers. Xia Fanxing thanked him sincerely, and at the same time glanced at him strangely.
Qin Blind suddenly laughed, but it made people feel a little reluctant. "It's like this... Three days later, if you go to Liyang with His Royal Highness Li Wan, I will not be with you. ”
Xia Fanxing's eyes widened in surprise, and he sat up from the bed, the sharp pain in his back immediately made his eyes feel black. He slowed down and asked, "Why is this happening?
Blind Qin pretended to laugh lightly, and then said seriously, "At the moon viewing meeting that day, I met a lot of knights I knew before. They are still traveling the world and doing chivalrous deeds. After I told them all about An Lushan and Jiwen, I was filled with righteous indignation. One of the brothers said that he had heard that there was a cottage in Fanyang, which was quite large, and he mobilized us to go there and fight against An Lushan. ”
"I haven't told you who I was back then, and why I retired to my hometown. So I asked Yanai to write a letter for me, and you can keep it and read it slowly. Our chivalrous generations are like duckweed, just for the chivalry in their hearts. Although I have lived in Chang'an for many years, I rarely have the arrogance of the past. But in this matter, I chose to go to Liyang with my brothers. Yanai had already reported the situation to his father, and the old man agreed that he would go with me. ”
"Although the cottage is against the imperial court, I don't think it will be reduced to the point of assisting a group of Hu people of different races who have no ability to govern and watching them enter the Central Plains. The country's survival is in danger overnight, and in any case, we should do our part. ”
After the blind man finished speaking, he took out a piece of letter paper and handed it over. Xia Fanxing took it, with mixed feelings in his heart. Qin Blind Man is going to Fanyang to confront An Lushan head-on. In this way, he is the enemy of the Tu Feng Sect. A little more excessive, it can also be said to be its own enemy...
Xia Fanxing had mixed feelings, looking at the heroes who had known each other for more than half a month. Qin Blind and Zheng Yanei slowly moved and were about to go outside. He thought about it for a long time, and finally only said one sentence, "Hero, Yanei, cherish!"
"If there is fate, see you in the rivers and lakes in the future!" Qin Blind and Zheng Yanei walked out.
After the two left, Xia Fanxing suddenly felt empty in his heart. The most terrifying thing is to think that he may be enemies of two friends in the future. is in a dilemma, which makes him uncomfortable.
"Natsuro... Yesterday, Kim Dao Chang said that the wound on your back is a heavenly fire burn. I went back to the sect overnight yesterday and asked Elder Li for a healing spirit grass in the sect. Seeing the two of them leaving, Ji Yanliu picked up the warm medicinal soup at the head of the bed, but there was uncontrollable distress in her tone.
Xia Fanxing saw the girl next to him, and the melancholy in his heart seemed to melt all of a sudden. He took the bowl with a smile and said, "Liu'er must be tired from running back and forth last night, right? You are so good to me, we must have a good 'rest' later......"
Ji Yanliu burst out laughing, pressed Xia Fanxing's shoulder, and said, "It's not okay for the past two days... Before you set off, you have to take care of your body. ”
"This is the first time I've left Chang'an City......
"Well, I'm going to take you there! Eh, if you don't come up, it's okay to kiss it, right?"
Xia Fanxing drank the bitter medicinal soup and hugged Ji Yanliu for a while. Suddenly thought of one thing - after Li He returned to Jade Zhai, was he retaliated against by the mysterious organization?
and that little fat man Huang Gui. Qin Blind Man has been absent for the past few days, and he is about to leave for Fanyang. What should a few of the guys from Jade Zhai do? Li He's leak must have been known to someone. It's bad, you can't let innocent people die!
Xia Fanxing struggled to get up from the bed and told Ji Yanliu about his concerns. She thought for a moment and said, "I'll go with you, it's not good for you to be alone." ”
"Then let's go to Jade Zhai now. It has been about two days since Li He returned to Jade Zhai. If someone really comes to the door, just grab two of them and throw them into the yamen!"
Xia Fanxing put on a robe, suppressed the severe pain on his back, and got out of bed with the support of Ji Yanliu. He jumped twice, feeling that he could bear it, and he didn't need her support. "Let's go to Chief Jin first. ”
Ji Yanliu led him to Jin Qifa's residence. However, when the two walked through the elegant tea room, there was actually Li Wan, the prince of Jinggong, who was practicing calligraphy. Seeing Xia Fanxing and the others walking by, he stopped them as soon as possible.
"Xia Daoyou, you have injuries on your body, you don't need to salute. Li Wan wanted to bow down after seeing Xia Fanxing come in, and hurriedly said.
"Your Highness, you also know..."Xia Fanxing thought that he was going to die or live last night, and he only made a Qiding foundation, and he was a little ashamed.
"Well, Kim Dao Chang told me last night. Li Wan could see from Xia Fanxing's expression that he was a little ashamed. After thinking about it, he comforted him: "As far as this king knows, the foundation of Qiding is already at a good level. This girl is also the foundation of Qiding. Although seven or eight are only one short, it is difficult to break through. You don't have to be sad about it. And after the first five physical tribulations, your body will be tempered stronger, and your injuries will heal faster. Rest assured. ”
Xia Fanxing hurriedly thanked him, and then said, "Your Highness, Miss Yanliu and I are going to find someone, and we may not be in the mansion today, so go and talk to Daoist Jin and tell you about it." ”
Li Wan smiled, motioned for them to sit down, and then said, "Daoist Jin left last night! He told me that he wanted to go to Liyang before us. He wanted to meet the eyeliner of the Nine Lotus Sect on the side of Liyang, and it was not particularly easy to find, so he went first. ”
Xia Fanxing's face showed doubt for a moment, and then he regained his composure. After they chatted casually, Xia Fanxing pulled Ji Yanliu up to say goodbye.
Walking out of Rongwang's Mansion, it is located near the West Market, and there is still a long distance from the Jade Zhai in Andingfang. Xia Fanxing's back injury is still relatively serious, and he can't run too fast. But the bag of silver money that Hua Rongyu gave him had almost been used. In order not to delay time, in desperation, Ji Yanliu took the initiative to go in and ask Li Wan to prepare a carriage for them.
Xia Fanxing sat up a little shyly. Ji Yanliu is still by his side. Xia Fanxing said, "Did you see Immortal Master Hua yesterday?"
"No... It's strange, since the last time Shizun went out to do business, he hasn't come back..."Ji Yanliu's tone was a little lost.
"Oh... The Immortal Master has really fulfilled us..."
Ji Yanliu's voice seemed a little worried, "I always, always feel a little worried." Xia Lang, when you return to the sect, I will also return to the sect. When the winter solstice comes, the martial arts will see you again......"
......
Sitting in the carriage, it was soon around Andingfang. The two went down, and Xia Fanxing led Ji Yanliu to the Jade Zhai in Liuye Lane.
As soon as he walked to the door of Jade Zhai, Xia Fanxing saw that the customers inside were far worse than before. Sure enough, what I was worried about had already happened. He asked Ji Yanliu to wait outside now and go in by himself.
It is not surprising that there is no figure of Li He in it. But the little fat man Huang Gui is not in it. The two shop guys I saw some time ago are gone. The people who are doing business in it are all a few unfamiliar faces.
However, when they saw him come in, a few of the men were not enthusiastic at all, just glanced at him, and went about their own work. This made Xia Fanxing feel that something was wrong the more he thought about it.
He walked around the corner and walked to a young man who was tinkering with the jade in his hand alone. took out a silver ingot, secretly stuffed it into his hand, and said softly: "The little fat man a few days ago, why didn't he come today?"
The fellow looked at him in surprise and took the silver ingot lightly. After thinking for a while, he picked up his feet and whispered in Xia Fanxing's ear, "You said Xiao Huang, I saw him a few days ago, walking with Li He's eight calves... I haven't seen you in the past few days..."
Xia Fanxing thought for a moment, and then asked, "How is the store doing lately?"
The guy felt weird, "This... Who are you?"
"Qin Daxia's friend. You don't care so much, just collect the money and tell me anything you want!"
The guy stared at him for a moment, and finally said, "Two days ago, something happened inexplicably. There was a girl who bought a necklace and came over and said it was a fake. One test, it's really fake... This matter has not been clarified yet, and it is possible that the person framed us. But our store has never had such a thing before, and the boss hasn't come back in the past two days, so this is how business is going now......"
Xia Fanxing figured it out. Thanks to Huang Gui and Li He's foresight, the two hid in a group. When the people of that organization saw that they couldn't catch them, they poured their anger on Jade Zhai. The person who bought the necklace must have framed them.
But at the same time, he was relieved. It's okay if you're fine. As for the business of Jade Zhai, it can be done slowly in the future.
He walked out of the Jade Zhai, talked to Ji Yanliu about the general situation, pondered for a while, and said, "Why don't we go around this Willow Leaf Lane and search with our divine sense." Although the efficiency is a little low, there is a lot of time today. ”
"Wouldn't they have left this place already? ”
Xia Fanxing shook his head and said, "Qin Daxia and I told them before not to leave Andingfang. Because if they leave here, there will be no one to protect them outside. ”
"Then let's just go around. By the way, how much money is left in the silver that the master gave you?"
Xia Fanxing was a little embarrassed.
......
In the evening, Xia Fanxing and Ji Yanliu walked around Andingfang with nothing to do. Since he was going to save money, he could only take her around with him very embarrassed, and he was reluctant to buy anything.
However, although they walked around here for an afternoon, their divine sense searched the entire Anding Fang and even the surrounding areas, but strangely, they did not find Huang Gui and Li He.
With such a wide range of searches, it is inevitable that there will be omissions. Moreover, the divine consciousness of the two of them is only a foundation cultivation, and it cannot be explored in many places. Seeing that the sky was getting darker, Xia Fanxing felt more and more anxious. If these two people can't be found, then I'm afraid it's more than lucky!
He sighed and said to Ji Yanliu, "The two of them may have fallen into the hands of those people..."
But Ji Yanliu shook his head, thought for a while, and said, "Qin Daxia may not have left yet, right? Why don't you go to that alley and ask him what to do?"
Xia Fanxing turned around and saw the "ghost alley" that was incompatible with the surrounding atmosphere, "It's okay." Even if he is gone, he should find a place to rest. ”
"But be careful, there's a lump of bird poop just walked in there, but don't rub it off. This thing still has some origins, I'll tell you about it later..."
However, in the ghost alley that has always been shrouded in darkness, next to the pile of bird droppings, there is actually a swollen corpse lying flat at this moment.
The dead man had a dark face and an ordinary appearance, like an ordinary peasant. The clothes were already in tatters, only the face was normal, and the lower body was all festering, but there was no stench.
"Ahh It's disgusting!" Ji Yanliu hid behind Xia Fanxing, but heard him say in a panic, "Oh no, someone has been here! Are they here to trouble Qin Daxia? This person rubbed bird droppings, and as they said, his whole body festered and died!"
Xia Fanxing pulled Ji Yanliu and carefully walked through this forbidden area, ignoring the pain in his back, and hurriedly ran to the dilapidated house of the blind man Qin, and breathed a sigh of relief. The room was not smashed as he imagined, but inside, there were faint sounds.
The two glanced at each other, Ji Yanliu pressed his shoulder, and passed the voice, "I'll probe the people inside, you have injuries, wait for me outside!"
With that, she walked softly to the door. But completely to Xia Fanxing's surprise, a sharp sword light immediately stabbed towards Ji Yanliu, the speed was so fast, Xia Fanxing was shocked by its speed, and his eyes were stunned.
But obviously, Ji Yanliu's reaction was even faster, the willow waist moved lightly, easily dodged the sneak attack, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he accurately grabbed the opponent's hand holding the hilt of the sword, and with a slight force, the person inside immediately fell to the ground. Ji Yanliu dragged his hand vigorously, and the guy fell out of the door, crying out in pain. Xia Fanxing looked at it, this "assassin" who was okay turned out to be the little fat man Huang Gui!
