The sky is light and the clouds are idle, and the morning light is clear.

Su Nianchi rode her horse slowly, it had been more than a few days since she left the Tibetan Sword Villa, but there was no wind on the rivers and lakes, judging from the news from Mutang, it was the Wen family who suppressed the news, and was secretly looking for her.

Whether this move was for her safety, or because she was selfish, and she didn't want the treasures of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty to fall next to them, but it is unknown.

It's just that since she uses her body as bait, if no one knows where the fish is, how can the knife cut it down?

During this period of time, she had secretly deduced in her heart how many times she had stolen the "Heavenly Life Water Scroll", and after thinking about it, the most likely one was the Qiongling Valley.

Tibet in the east and heaven in the west, the south dome and the north in the north.

Tianshui Pavilion can be famous, it must not be underestimated, and what can be equivalent to its strength, as far as the eye can see, is the Tibetan Sword Villa, the Qiongling Valley and the North Underworld Palace.

It's not that I haven't suspected the Tibetan Sword Villa, it's just that Wen Shu has a marriage contract with Zhuang Nanyi, and Zhuang Nanyi is the only palm bead of the master of Tianshui Pavilion, and sooner or later the "Heavenly Life Water Scroll" will return to the Tibetan Sword Villa, and the Wen family really has no reason to be impatient to make this risky move.

Don't say that Tianshui Pavilion is difficult to deal with, even if it succeeds, once the news leaks out accidentally, won't the reputation of the Tibetan Sword Villa be completely ruined for hundreds of years?

From this point of view, the most suspicious thing is the Qiongling Valley, of course, it may not be, it is because they did not hesitate to change their attitude of avoiding the world in order to clear their suspicions, and they did their best to diagnose her with pills.

But no matter what, she had to confirm it in person, just like the fate of the curtain Tang staring at the Tibetan Sword Villa, this trip to the Qiongling Valley was also indispensable.

At first, in order to avoid the Wen family's eyes and ears looking for her, she had been picking some deserted paths to travel, and seeing that she was gradually leaving the eastern border and leaving the sphere of influence of the Hidden Sword Villa, she no longer deliberately hid her whereabouts.

On this day, Nianchi traveled to a small town, picked a well-known inn and was about to enter, Xiao Er stepped forward to greet her, and when he saw her, he blinked and asked, "The girl is from Lin'an?" ”

Nian Chi knew that Tianshui Pavilion was located in Lin'an, and he was secretly alert to look at the little er, but he couldn't see anything abnormal, so he said lightly: "What about it?" ”

The shopkeeper looked happy and said, "If the girl really came to Lin'an, she will come with the little one, and the upper room has already been prepared." ”

Nian Chi remained silent, and followed him into a guest room, clean and tidy, spacious and bright, I am afraid that it is the best room in this inn.

The little second led her in, and said, "The girl will rest for a while, and the little one will prepare wine and food for the girl, and the girl can tell me if she wants to eat." ”

Nian Chi said: "Who told you that I am from Lin'an?" ”

Xiao Er said with a smile: "No one said this, but a few days ago, the shopkeeper instructed that there may be a girl from Lin'an in the next few days, covering her face, coming to stay in the hotel. ”

Nian Chi said: "Oh, your shopkeeper is here?" ”

Xiao Er said: "The shopkeeper is in the account room at the moment, Rong Xiao went back, the shopkeeper knew that the girl was coming, and he would definitely come in person." ”

Nianchi nodded, and the little two retreated, and after a while, he came again, knocked on the door and said, "Girl, my shopkeeper has brought wine and food to the girl." ”

Nian Chi opened the door, and saw a slightly chubby middle-aged man standing outside the door, with a smile on his face, and personally served a tray, on which there were wine and food, and the shopkeeper behind him also served a tray full of wine and food.

"Girl, these are the specialty dishes of the small shop, girl try them." After the shopkeeper was placed, he turned back to Nian Chi and smiled.

Nian Chi said: "Thank you for bothering. ”

but he did not touch the wine and the food.

The shopkeeper still had a look of joy on his face, "The villain is looking forward to it day and night, and he doesn't hope that the girl is really here, it is really a blessing for the villain, dare to ask the girl for her surname?" ”

Nian Chi said: "You don't know who I am? ”

The shopkeeper said: "Engong only said that it was a girl who came from Lin'an and hid her face, and didn't say anything else, cough, it was the villain who was happy and confused - Engong didn't say that he had his own kindness, it was the villain who was mouthy, and the villain was talkative." ”

Nian Chi said: "Who are you, this benefactor?" ”

The shopkeeper said: "I can't say this little one. ”

Nian Chi said: "I should always know whose love this is?" ”

The shopkeeper smiled: "It's not necessary, my kindness is the most gracious and doesn't want to repay, not to mention the trivial things, the girl doesn't have to worry about it." ”

After the shopkeeper left, Nian Chi walked to the table to examine the dishes carefully, she had grown up in the Northern Underworld Xuan Palace, and she was proficient in the way of using poison, and she was sure that there was no problem with these dishes.

Although she is young, she has experienced many dangers and dangers since she was a child, and she knows that this mysterious benevolent father will not appear for a while, and it is useless to think too much, so she will wait and see what happens.

Since the food and drinks are fine, she calmly sits down, and always has to eat enough to have the strength to deal with all kinds of accidents.

On the second day, she resigned in the gracious retention of the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper saw that he could not keep it, so he prepared a rich plate of dry food and handed it to the Nian Chi to fund the future.

"Girl, Engong has a great kindness to my whole family but never let us reciprocate wholeheartedly, after so many years, this is the first time that Engong has given instructions to the villain. The villain is not blessed to take care of the girl more, but this little bit of entanglement, please don't excuse the girl. ”

The words are sincere and affectionate, and they do not seem to be fake.

And this is just the beginning of the prelude.

In the next few days, Nianchi continued to travel south, no matter where he went or where he settled, but wherever there were people, there were always people to take care of them, prepare wine and food rooms, and wrap dry food and food.

She also changed her route temporarily, or ignored the hard work of the store to stay and go out to find another inn to stay, but even if she was looking for another inn, when she saw her, she was also overjoyed, but the girl came from Lin'an?

She didn't believe that the man had the skill to know all her actions, so she turned around and entered the third inn, but she didn't want to, and the result was the same.

The shopkeeper saw that her expression was uncertain, and heard that the man said that she had just entered the inn across the street and turned out, so he entered the door of his house again, and hurriedly said: "The girl dislikes the simplicity of the shop, and the villain's house is not far away, and the furnishings are quite comfortable. ”

Nian Chi said: "It's not necessary, I'm just looking for an inn that your grace can't control, isn't there one in this town?" ”

The shopkeeper scratched his head and smiled: "The girl said that she was joking, since she was ordered by the father-in-law, the big guy naturally didn't want to serve the girl with all his heart." ”

Nian Chi said: "Who are you, this Engong?" ”

"Girl, don't joke with the villain," the shopkeeper said with a wry smile, remembering her strange words and deeds before, and suddenly realized, "Isn't the girl having trouble with Engong?" ”

"What?" Nian Chi was stunned.

The shopkeeper said bitterly: "There are few good men with such character and heart as Engong, and he treats you so well, girl, you should cherish your blessings, don't be petty with him." ”

At least, it was confirmed that the mysterious person behind this scene was a man, Nian Chi thought to himself after listening to the shopkeeper's words.

But within a few days, even this confirmation was broken.

In a tea shop on the side of the post road in the suburbs, the kind-faced grandmother brought tea to her, and said with a smile: "The girl's eyes are so good-looking, I think she must be a beauty like my benefactor." ”

Nian Chi asked, "The person who asked you to take care of me is a woman?" ”

Grandma said: "Yes, she is the most beautiful and compassionate woman in the world. ”

Rao is mind the pond was no longer silent, and his heart began to feel surprised.

She suddenly took off her veil and said to the grandmother, "It's a pity that I was born so ugly." ”

When the grandmother saw her face under the veil, she was so shocked that she cried out with an "ah", where the tea was laid on the side of the post road, and at this time there were a lot of travelers who went south and north, and when they heard her exclamation, they couldn't help but follow the sound.

For a while, one after another exclamations and gasps sounded, and everyone's eyes were either regretful or surprised, not to mention.

Nian Chi slowly tied the veil back and asked the grandmother, "Has your benefactor ever told you who I am?" ”

There was pity and apology in the grandmother's eyes, and she shook her head and said, "No." ”

Nian Chi said: "My surname is Zhuang, and my name is Nanyi." ”

She felt that a few eyes around her lit up.
