Chapter 132 Nightclub
Yongning was not in a hurry to catch up with anything, she just recognized the direction and walked slowly, leaving Luoyang out of the east gate. She didn't walk fast, and when it was getting dark, she had only walked twenty miles or so. She didn't care what her surroundings were, for a witch like her, there was no difference between being away and staying at home, she had a way to make herself comfortable.
She was a little upset along the way, and there were always some strange thoughts in her head, and she suppressed this one, and the other one would pop up again, so at this time her physical strength could still keep up, but her mental strength was ...... She's really tired.
She had been walking on the official road, because of the sky, there were no pedestrians on the road at this time, she looked around, then turned around and entered the grove beside the road. As she had done for the past few years, she cleared a small clearing of the lot, and then used a series of security spells, such as the Ignore Charm and the Expulsion Charm, before taking out a magic tent that she had kept in her storage bracelet.
This magic tent was a graduation gift when she graduated from the Academy of Magic, and she never had the opportunity to use it in her previous life, but she got benefits during the Tang Dynasty. The magic tent is a space magic, although it looks like a small one from the outside, but inside it is a two-bedroom small suite, the kitchen and bathroom are also complete, and the maintenance is also very simple, as long as the magic array on the outer packaging is input equivalent to a cleaning spell when used, it can support the normal operation of the various functions of this magic tent for ten to twelve hours.
Yongning sat weakly on the sofa in the living room, she felt a little that she was sick, why couldn't she forget Li Zhi's eyes when she was wrong? She covered her face and fell crooked on the sofa, rolling around only to feel uncomfortable up and down.
The wind outside the tent became tighter, causing the surrounding branches to creak and creak, which made Yongning's heart even more irritable. She came out of the tent and reached out to probe in the air, feeling that there would probably be a heavy snow in a while, and although her magic tent was functional, it didn't feel good to wake up early in the morning and be buried in a snowdrift.
Yongning thought about it, but still sighed, turned around and put the tent away again. She had been to Luoyang once and knew that there was a town store more than 20 miles ahead, called Fuqiuji. It's not a big place, but the only inn in town is clean, the price is fair, and the owner is kind. With a wave of her hand, she undid all the spells she had just cast, and then she apparitioned and went directly outside the town of Fuqiu.
At this time, the sky had been dark for a long time, and Fu Qiuji had already lit the lamps in every house. Yongning followed the path in his memory and walked safely all the way to the old store of the Wang family. This inn is said to have been in business for decades, and the family business run by three generations of father and son is now quite large.
When Yongning walked to the front of the store, the guy was already planning to close the store, and the weather was bad, and the boss was willing to close the store early to rest. As soon as he saw that a guest had come to the door, the guy seemed very excited, turned around and shouted inside, "There's a guestโ" and then hunched over and let Yongning in.
Although the owner of the store intends to close early, there are still two or three tables of customers eating and chatting in the lobby at this moment. The lights in the lobby are not bright, but there is a space in the center, and a simple fire kiln is built with stones, and the firewood inside is "crackling", and even the big bluestone outside is glowing red.
As soon as Yongning came in, the shopkeeper just nodded and said hello, and then lowered his head to look at the account book. The other people in the lobby also paid a lot of attention to her, but they were out of the house, and most of them didn't want to provoke monks like her, so although they whispered and exchanged glances with each other, they didn't do anything out of the ordinary.
As soon as Yongning was cold, he always put a warmth spell on his body, so he didn't go to the fire, but sat down near the door, and then ordered some hot soup and hot dishes, and then asked for a guest room.
This young man was very quick, wiped the table and poured water, worked around Yongning, and soon brought the food ordered by Yongning. Yongning's appetite is not good because of the pressure on his heart, but when the time comes, he feels that he should eat something, which is purely a matter of habit. She ate without a mouthful, and felt that there seemed to be a gaze staring at her all the time, and she was somewhat uncomfortable.
She ate a few more bites, then put down her chopsticks and beckoned Xiao Er to change the pot of hot tea. While she was ordering tea, her eyes seemed to glance to the side casually, and then she was stunned. At the table to her right, there sat an old Taoist, two Taoist servants, and a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, and it was the girl who had been staring at her.
That old way is no one else, it is the divine doctor Sun Simiao, who makes Yongning feel even more incredible is that the girl sitting next to Sun Simiao actually looks a little like Princess Jinyang...... The place where Sun Simiao was sitting was dark, and she didn't look this way, so she didn't notice their table, but now that she had already made eye contact with the girl, it would be rude if she didn't go over to say hello.
Yongning stood up, stretched out his hand and stroked the robe on his body, then walked to Sun Simiao's side, bowed for a long time, and called "Uncle Sun". Although Sun Simiao has met Yongning a few times, he is actually not familiar with her, just now he saw a little Taoist aunt coming in, and he also felt that the face was kind, but he didn't recognize it, even at this time Yongning came over to greet him, and he still didn't know which family's "niece" this was.
As soon as Yongning saw Sun Simiao's expression, he knew that he hadn't come out of himself, and hurriedly introduced himself: "The small path is Ning Zhen, and he studied under Master Yuan Tianshi of Qianyuanguan......"
"Ah...... It turned out to be you, Lao Dao remembers you...... It's just that I haven't seen him for a few years, but I don't dare to recognize it......" Sun Simiao smiled and nodded at Yongning, signaling the little Taoist who was sitting on the lower road to give up a position, let Yongning sit down, and said: "I heard your master mention it a few years ago, saying that you followed your master Song Mingzi to wander around, why are you alone today, your uncle?" โ
Yongning also smiled shallowly and said, "Senior Uncle went to practice elsewhere with Senior Brother two years ago, and I have been walking alone in the past few years......
She had already understood that the reason why Song Mingzi would run away with her for two years was entirely because she was carrying a task to collect talents for her, and as soon as this task was completed, this old Taoist immediately disappeared without a trace with his precious apprentice.
Sun Simiao listened to her words, but he was stunned, now Yongning looks only seventeen or eighteen years old, and if he pushes forward two or three years later, he can't help but muttered in his heart, this Xingyan Sect's method of taking apprentices is different from other families, and a little girl of such an age would dare to let her go out alone...... However, these things are not something that he can discuss as an outsider, so he has to keep silent.
Yongning also thought that she had nothing in common with a character like Sun Simiao, and her gaze couldn't help but turn to the girl who was sitting opposite her. At this time, the girl was looking at her with a happy face, which made her more and more hesitant in her heart - this girl looks too similar to Princess Jinyang, right? Without making a mistake, she hesitated a little and asked, "You...... You're ......."
"What? I haven't seen it for a few years, and I don't dare to admit it? Or, you don't recognize who I am anymore? The girl pouted, her chin tilted high, and she had a big look, "If you dare not recognize who I am, I will never spare you."
Yongning couldn't help but hold his forehead: "Oh my God, it's really you, I thought I recognized the wrong person...... No, I'd rather I admit that I'm wrong" This girl is really the princess of Jinyang, Yongning feels that she is going crazy, how can Her Royal Highness this princess follow Sun Simiao? In the two days she stayed in Luoyang, she didn't hear Princess Gaoyang mention it......
Sun Simiao raised his eyebrows, and then remembered that there was a rumor in Chang'an that Princess Jinyang and the little lady of the Fang family, that is, the little Daoist Aunt Ning Zhen, who had already become a monk, was a close friend, and he was secretly relieved. He was also scared along the way, and was scared enough by Her Royal Highness the princess, but he was entangled by her all the way, and he didn't dare to leave her on the way and ignore it...... He wanted to ask someone to send a letter to the palace in Chang'an or Luoyang several times, but he was stopped by Princess Jinyang.
Yongning looked at Princess Jinyang with a tangled face, and then looked at Sun Simiao, who seemed to be relieved, and secretly regretted in her heart, she knew that such a situation would be encountered, she would rather let the heavy snow be buried early tomorrow morning...... Princess Jinyang and Yongning have been friends since childhood, in front of Yongning, she has always been comfortable, but she is much more relaxed than following Sun Simiao along the way, and pushed the small roadmaid sitting next to Yongning to the side, she sat down next to Yongning, holding Yongning's hand, and her eyes quietly turned red.
Yongning looked at the surrounding environment, it was really not the place to speak, and hurriedly patted Princess Jinyang's hand under the table to comfort her, and then confessed to Sun Simiao, called the young man to lead the way, and pulled Princess Jinyang to the guest room.
The young man in this shop was a governor, and while leading the way, he carried a pot of tea into the house, and instructed Yongning how to call people if he needed hot water, and then retreated. Yongning bolted the door and checked the window again, then sat down at the table, poured a cup of hot tea for Princess Jinyang and himself, and then said, "Tell me, what's going on with you?" Why did you go out of Beijing alone with Doctor Sun? In the past two days in Luoyang, my second sister-in-law has never mentioned this to me......"
The meaning of Yongning's words was very clear, and she could completely guess that Princess Jinyang had left Beijing without permission and ran away secretly. If she followed Sun Simiao out of Beijing openly, Princess Gaoyang would not even mention it, but only prevaricated with the words "Princess Jinyang stayed in Beijing this time and didn't come out".
Princess Jinyang looked really weak, opened her eyes, bit her lower lip tightly, and didn't speak for a long time......
