Chapter Twenty-Nine: Overnight Stay at Yizhuang
Looking at the back of He Xifeng's horse leaving, Zheng Yan always felt that he seemed to be in a hurry, but he didn't care, just now in the city, he seemed to see two fair women in colorful clothes, very similar to the people of Xiandumen, they must not be far away from the Wulei Gate here, the knife ruler said that these people will not use strong, who knows what insidious means will be used, to be honest, I hope they will use strong.
When I walked to the afternoon, I met a charming woman, plump and merry, fair skin like jade, very smoky and flattering, followed by two beautiful men, who looked like male pets, Zheng Yan was numb and ready to leave quickly, two male pets moved two steps sideways to block Zheng Yan's way, and her skills looked good, it seems that this woman is not the kind of master who likes to dry up and fish.
"Dare to ask the little brother, but his name is Zheng Yan?", the woman walked over, her voice was coquettish,
Zheng Yan shook his head helplessly, why do people always like to use kitsch on themselves, don't they know if they are immune to kitsch? Not even Ru Hui, who cultivates the Great Heavenly Demon Mystery Method, not to mention what kind of qualifications can you get for this unpopular casual cultivation.
Seeing that Zheng Yan was just sitting on the horse and not speaking, the sword was already out of the sheath by an inch, the woman covered her mouth and smiled, she was really charming and charming, "The concubine is called Hua Ziyan, a few days ago, my sister Hua Gu said that she came to visit Gongzi, and there was no news for many days, and the concubine just wanted to inquire about Gongzi, but I had ever seen my sister, well, it was somewhat similar to the concubine, she should be wearing a white printed dress, a red pink belt, and a string of bells that do not ring on it",
Zheng Yan thought about it for a while, "I haven't seen Meixi Huagu, but I heard that she is dead."
The woman was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and her eyes dimmed for a moment, but she quickly recovered, and said with a smile, "If you die, you will die, and it is not happy to live, each of us must be responsible for what we have done, what does Childe think?"
Zheng Yan nodded and said, "The girl is right, if there is nothing else, I will leave first, persuade the girl not to be curious to explore, it is better to practice and live a life in a down-to-earth manner than anything else, the world of cultivation is very scary, and the growth of strength will always bring about the expansion of desire",
Hua Ziyan raised her jade hand and grabbed the horse's head and stroked the horse and said softly, "It's like walking, Gongzi has a horse to walk, two or three hundred miles a day, ten days and twenty days can reach the destination, and there are people to escort and shelter from the wind and rain, like those of us who can only walk on two legs, it is far away to reach that place, and we can't see hope to despair, since we are desperate, I will always think of some other ways, and I will naturally be curious when I think of some vague hopes, and I especially want to explore, the concubine feels that this should be human nature",
Looking at Zheng Yan's inquiring face, Hua Ziyan seemed to have made up her mind, some were resolute and a little obedient, and said softly, "Different from my sister's game Hongchen, the concubine has always been as guarded as jade, and her cultivation is Tianxuanyin Demon Gong and Ni Shang Jue, if Gongzi does not dislike it, I hope to stay by Gongzi's side, just be a maid who pours tea and water, the concubine is just thirty years old, and the Yuan Shen formed last year may not be able to enter the eyes of Gongzi, but it will definitely not disappoint Gongzi",
Zheng Yan looked at the woman in front of him carefully, and nodded after a moment. The girl's roots are very good, but there are some opportunities to be able to come to this realm at this age, and there are indeed only some good exercises to check and fill in the gaps, and it would be better to have one or two good teachers, and maybe they can go far in the future, I can see the girl's persistence and ambition, so to tell the truth, the girl should not find me, although I can provide those that are needed, and the twists and turns will not be explained in detail, if the girl really wants to take this road, she can go to Luoyang Jingtian Prison or the Criminal Department, where at least you don't have to sell your hue, don't have anything to do with me, otherwise the road will only become more and more difficult to walk, and the powerful can indeed dominate a lot of things, but it's hard for you as an outsider to imagine it."
Hua Ziyan watched Zheng Yan go away, turned around and glanced in the direction of the south, sighed lightly, and said coldly after a while, "You guys go to die,
The two men beside him looked at the moving woman, with infinite affection and affection in their eyes, pulled out a dagger and stabbed it at their heart, without hesitation or even blinking their eyes, Hua Ziyan walked south expressionlessly.
Zheng Yan felt the movement behind him, he didn't feel anything, in fact, he still had a good impression of such a woman, rational and decisive, and clearly controlled, so he was willing to say something from the bottom of his heart to her.
"Childe is really special, he would actually be honest with such a woman", a soft voice suddenly came from behind him,
Zheng Yan turned his head and looked at it, a little surprised, what's wrong today? First it was eight and a half minutes of bewitching flowers and purple smoke, and now it is a fairy with nine points, looking at the clothes should be a shark silk treasure clothes, a female cultivator of the water department of Xiandu Gate, what kind of trouble is this?
"The little woman's name is Yu Xiuxian, presumably His Royal Highness listened to what the senior sister of the sword ruler said, the disciple of the water department of Xiandumen",
Zheng Yan couldn't help but say in amazement, "The root bone of Hua Ziyan is biased towards martial arts, but because of the cultivation exercises, the whole person looks smoky, and the girl is really charming, but the cultivation exercises belong to the right path of Kangzhuang, well, it is like the difference between the mirror flower and the moon and the flowers in the fog, I heard that seeing flowers in the fog is the most attractive to men, and I think that girls usually have these troubles",
Yu Xiuxian suddenly looked at Zheng Yan seriously, and after a while, he smiled helplessly, "I thought that His Royal Highness was just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, but I didn't expect that the words he said were so old-fashioned, and the children of the powerful really can't be guessed by common sense."
Zheng Yan smiled and said, "Don't be surprised by what I said just now, the girl was a little surprised, I didn't keep my mouth shut, I was offended, let's talk about it directly, what is the matter with the girl looking for me?"
Yu Xiuxian blinked his eyes and said softly, "In the name of the master, I came to seduce His Highness,
Zheng Yan arched his hand and said, "Congratulations girl, the mission has failed",
Yu Xiuxian asked curiously, "Didn't Your Highness say that I am the most attractive man?
Zheng Yan said helplessly, "Didn't you say that I was just a teenager? What can a teenager think of you beautiful women?
Yu Xiuxian looked down, there was a thunder pattern jade pendant hanging on his waist, his expression was a little embarrassed, he took off the jade pendant and threw it into the grass on the side of the road, which made Zheng Yan stunned, if he was not mistaken, it should be a magic weapon that can only be possessed by the disciples of the Five Thunder Sect, the front thunder pattern is engraved with the words "Five Thunder", and the back is probably "Saving God" and "Visualization" Words like that, or the name of the master, is a high-grade magic weapon for cultivating the thunder law, and it is said that the five thunder gates selected the double cultivation furnace or the Taoist couple from the water department of the Xiandu Gate.
Zheng Yan couldn't help but say, "If you don't like it, it's best to say it directly, if it's to perform the task, you don't have to really lose it, I don't mind",
Yu Xiuxian said calmly, "I am not qualified to object to a family matter set by the elders of the sect, I can't say that I like it, I can't say that I am bored, Senior Brother Deng is very good, and amazing, and it is also a congenital thunder body, I heard that people with a congenital thunder body can be immune to kitsch, it turned out to be true, Meixi Flower Stamen Holy Aunt combined the Tianxuanyin Demon Skill with the Ni Shang Jue, and the kitsch that she cultivated is unique in the world, and I don't know how many heroes and heroes have fallen under her pomegranate skirt for a hundred years, Hua Ziyan is not the strongest among her many children, but her attainments in this kitsch are not shallow."
Zheng Yan was noncommittal.
When the two of them walked far away, two people came on the post road, one was handsome and straight, in his twenties, with a cold and solemn temperament, and the other was fourteen or fifteen years old, delicate and quiet, and there was already a bit of a sharp taste between his eyebrows and eyes. The older man bent down to pick up the jade pendant that had been thrown in the grass, wiped it gently, and looked expressionlessly in the direction where the two horses disappeared.
The young man next to him looked at Yu Pei with a little heat in his eyes, "Senior Brother Deng, is this Wu Lei Pei?"
The man seemed to smile and said softly, "Well, you just entered the sect and don't know much about it, these five Lei Pei are magic weapons that can only be obtained by personal disciples, according to the door rules, they can generally be obtained by reaching the late stage of refining and transforming the god and forming a yin god, although the master directly accepts you as a personal disciple, it is difficult to make an exception and give you a piece now, for a sect, the door rules are the most important",
The boy nodded and said, "Well, it's like the biggest military regulation."
After talking all the way, Zheng Yan finally understood why Xiandumen sent Yu Xiuxian to get close to him, on the one hand, this woman also has a natural affinity, her speech and demeanor are reflected everywhere, not abrupt or pretentious, moisturizing things silently, it is difficult for people to get bored; Zheng Yan is used to rejecting strangers from the heart, but he will never show rejection on his face, in fact, he is very willing to contact different people, and he can not have deep friendships, so the two of them have been walking down.
When it was completely dark, I just walked to a small post station, desolate and abrupt, surrounded by barren grass, even cultivated land is rare, and I didn't see the accompanying villages and towns, and there was an east-west post road passing by, which was considered a traffic rush, it shouldn't have been so desolate, and Zheng Yan finally remembered something when he saw the name of the post station.
A few years ago, I also passed by here, I remember listening to the post station of the post station said, the east and west found a few mineral deposits, attracting many people to "pan for gold", but the east is a straight road, only allowed to be used by the army, and because of the conflict with Yu Danzhou has been continuous, so that the waterway supervision in the west has been very strict, so the post road in the middle is getting busier and busier, why is it so few now?
And Yu Xiuxian entered the post house to inquire, it turned out that it was because of the robbery of the mine that killed a lot of people, the matter was completely banned by the imperial court, the two did not continue to inquire deeply, ready to open two rooms to live first, the front desk post post looked pity, said that a vacant room is gone, the two inns and car shops outside are also full, there is a Yizhuang in the southwest direction, if the two are not taboo, you can go there for a night, Zheng Yan said very taboo, thinking about whether you can sit in the lobby of the post house overnight, the post messenger signaled the two to look back, it turned out that the hall was already full of people, there are businessmen and rangers who are loose cultivators, there are scholars and coolie hawkers, it is completely a preparation for the night。
The post messenger kindly reminded the two that there was no food in the entire post station, and the grain and vegetables could only be delivered early tomorrow morning.
Yu Xiuxian couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you say that the mines were all blocked? Why are there still so many people?",
The post was probably confused by the beauty, and he couldn't refuse the woman's question in front of him, so he lowered his voice and said, "The ban is banned, but I can't stand the stealing of digging, these people are all in the black mining business, and there are also miners who come to find a job",
Zheng Yan listened to it and figured out why there was Yizhuang, and noticed in the lobby that there were two people who looked like earth masters, presumably they were here to look for mines, and there were a few quiet people sitting next to the earth masters, at first glance, they were monk outlaws, and many people were staring at Yu Xiuxian, and they could deliberately lower their words at first, but now they are becoming more and more unscrupulous, not only judging Yu Xiuxian's figure, but even mixed with some obscene words about the joy of the bed, saying that Zheng Yan must not be satisfied with such a woman.
He asked for some salt seasoning, and Yu Xiuxian, who had a breezy face, hurriedly left here, the moon was dark and the wind was high in the wilderness, and they were all a group of outlaws who pinned their heads to their belts and begged for a living, who knows what they could do.
Leaving the post station and heading southwest, the horses had already been handed over, but a mile was a matter of a few steps. Yu Xiuxian, who had been a little silent, suddenly opened his mouth, "Do I look like the kind of person who has become a wife?"
Zheng Yan almost tripped up, before seeing her silent, I thought it was the foul language that annoyed those people, but I didn't expect it to be entangled in this question, "Don't let me ask, I have no experience, I heard that I can really see it",
Yu Xiuxian looked suspicious, "I also heard that there is such a thing, but you can't see it?"
Zheng Yan said angrily, "Should I see it? Then again, did you carry your Senior Brother Deng and other men behind your back to make a private decision for life?"
Yu Xiuxian sneered, "What do they say I don't mind, you make me very angry when you say this, I thought that you powerful children have been countless royal daughters since childhood, and your knowledge is naturally extraordinary, but I didn't expect that you are still a chick, won't it really work?"
Zheng Yan was very angry, not angry at the suddenly weird and playful woman in front of her, but angry that he actually wanted to talk to her about these issues.
"I don't have the same knowledge as you when I have long hair and short knowledge, and I don't have the same knowledge as you, and I don't know if I say it, the children of the powerful do have to contact a lot of beautiful women of all colors very early, and there are many maids around them, but the fundamental purpose is not to indulge in women, not to be affected by women, don't see a beautiful woman is like losing your soul or starving, understand? And the children of the real powerful are even practicing when they are talented, how can they have time to do that, and the family with poor talent will not indulge him, maybe one day he will suffer a disaster, and the whole family will suffer, of course, there are also those you said, either they are brainless, or they haven't really stepped into that circle."
As he spoke, he had already grabbed two pheasants from the grass, and Yu Xiuxian chuckled, "I see, I'll just say, those families I saw before are more powerful than the other, how can you do those dirty things every day, but your cultivation is really low?"
Zheng Yan didn't want to talk to her anymore, he didn't think that he had seen too many powerful people when he came out alone this time, especially those young geniuses, and he was indeed a little impatient these days.
"Senior sister of the sword ruler must have told His Highness, the master sent me here to persuade His Highness to go to Wulei Gate to practice, and the second is to send His Highness a few beauties who are considerate, the first one can be ignored, the main thing is the second, there are no conditions, I just want to show our sincerity to An Guogong and the imperial court, Xiandumen wants to get rid of Wulei Gate's attachment to the imperial court, of course, we also have people to directly contact An Guogong", Yu Xiuxian still said as if joking,
Zheng Yan didn't judge the truth or falsehood, firstly, he was not clear about the position and weight of this woman in the Xiandu Gate, and the matter of love and losing the jade pendant brought him a lot of doubts, and secondly, the sect was attached to this kind of thing, and it was not his turn to talk nonsense.
Seeing that Zheng Yan didn't react, Yu Xiuxian said with a smile, "Isn't Your Highness an innate pure yang thunder fire physique?" In the future, he will definitely practice the thunder law and fire method, His Royal Highness is a kind person, and he will definitely not want to practice the thunder method and fire method to bring the bursting emotions out of control, our Xiandumen has a secret method for regulating emotions, and the beauties selected for His Royal Highness are all congenital pure yin bodies, which are very helpful for the side effects of conditioning practice, and they should also use them to perform the secret method, rest assured, it is not a vase, the talent is medium or above, and they all have their own good means, there is no one who is not proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, song and dance, vocal music, don't they all say that the magnates are very fond of Jianghu women? It's okay to give it away if you're tired of it, this is a gift that is hard to buy, and the means of teaching female cultivators are no worse than those of the Red Mansion, and they can definitely be loyal to their masters".
Zheng Yan looked at the Yizhuang in front of him and was a little surprised, this scale seemed to be a bit large, "At first glance, it sounds like a matchmaker, and then I think it's an old bustard, think about it carefully, you are trying to spoil your sect's plan", said and stepped forward to knock on the door.
Yu Xiuxian smiled, his face suddenly changed, and he asked in a low voice, "Do you have to spend the night here?"
Zheng Yan said indifferently, "The post station firewood house is full of people, and it is all in the wilderness here, where can I find a place to live?" Now it's almost late autumn, I have no problem sleeping in the wilderness, I'm afraid you can't stand it, don't you look at the eyes of those guys looking at you? Be careful of overturning in the gutter, always keep in the best condition, what are you doing when you run out in the early stage of refining gods and transforming voids?",
Yu Xiuxian sighed lightly and said softly, "The elders of the sect all say that only I can convince you, and what do you say about the same temper, what can I do?"
Zheng Yan nodded and said, "Your temperament is out-of-the-box and complicated, it doesn't matter what you do, the two of us are indeed quite similar, forget it, there is no one inside, but why is there a door? It can't be really haunted, right?",
The door suddenly opened, and at the same time, a big bird was startled on a dead tree with a white pole at the door, Zheng Yan let out a startled sound, and looked at Yu Xiuxian with a wicked smile, and then saw that there was no one around him, and he was stunned for a moment and shook his head helplessly and walked in.
The courtyard was empty and empty, the five main rooms were pitch black, and there were four wings on each side of the same, Yu Xiuxian was curious and went to the window to check, Zheng Yan didn't feel the breath of the living, but saw a few little ghosts circling around Yu Xiuxian, Yu Xiuxian quickly ran back to Zheng Yan, rubbed his arm and said in a trembling voice, "There are really ghosts, I feel like they're touching me, eh, I don't feel it when I come to you, ha, I understand, they don't dare to get close to you",
Zheng Yan smiled and said, "Don't think about sleeping with me tonight, I can't stand it as a yellow flower-sized boy", and said into the easternmost room on the front, which should be the kitchen, and released a fireball with a dagger.
Yu Xiuxian followed closely and said angrily, "Steal my senior sister Xie's magic weapon, you are a prince who lacks this thing?"
Zheng Yan lit the oil lamp and started to make a fire for cooking.
