Early the next morning, the caravan continued to set off for Fenghe County.

Just like yesterday, Xiao Yu was practicing in the carriage, and Li Xiaohu rode with him.

There was nothing to do all the way, and by noon the caravan stopped for repairs. For the first time since the Black Soul Guard came to search last night, Li Xiaohu saw Sister Zhao come out of the carriage for the first time.

Li Xiaohu was slapped last night for his kindness to help, and he was not happy, so he naturally didn't take the initiative to talk to them, just lowered his head and ate the jerky in his hand.

After a while, I saw the little girl Zhao Xiaomiao holding the rolled map and walking to Li Xiaohu's side, her sister was standing not far away waiting for her, as if she didn't want to have any communication with Li Xiaohu.

"Brother Tanuki," Zhao Xiaomiao said in a somewhat low mood, "The map will be returned to you." ”

Li Xiaohu didn't speak, he nodded and took the map.

Zhao Xiaomiao saw that Li Xiaohu ignored her, so she put away the map, and cried "wow".

"What's wrong?" Li Xiaohu was a little overwhelmed, "Little sister, don't cry." He wanted to coax her, touch her head or something, but he didn't know what to do.

Zhao Xiaomo also came over when he heard his sister crying and asked, "Xiaomiao, what's wrong?"

"I ...... last night It's so tiring...... I'm asleep," Zhao Xiaomiao said as she wiped her tears, "It's not time yet...... Take the route from the Shuozhou mine to home...... Understand ...... Understand. ”

Li Xiaohu was speechless, and he was reluctant to return the map after a long time. He sighed and said, "What your sister said about the bad guys selling you to the mine to mine is to scare you, there is no such thing at all." ”

"But...... My sister said that those bad guys were going to arrest us last night to mine," Zhao Xiaomiao continued, "and ...... The sister also said that the tanuki brother is a bad guy just like them. ”

"Huh?" Li Xiaohu learned from Xiao Yuxie, squinting his eyes and looking at Zhao Xiaomo. Zhao Xiaomo was also a little embarrassed at this time, after all, saying bad things about people behind his back has now been exposed in person.

"Hey, hey," Li Xiaohu protested, "I saved you last night, and if you don't know how to repay it, why are you still talking bad about me in front of children?"

Zhao Xiaomo faced the questioning, and said stubbornly: "You are notorious in the capital, who knows if you had other plans to help last night." ”

"Are you from the capital?" Li Xiaohu seemed to ask an inconsequential question.

"Brother Tanuki, we are from Jinju, and my sister and I are hiding our ...... from home," Zhao Xiaomiao interjected, and she was interrupted by Zhao Xiaomo halfway through her speech.

"Don't just explain your details to strangers, ask my sister to teach you a few times. ”

"Since you are from Jinzhou, why do you say that I am notorious?" Li Xiaohu asked rhetorically, "just because you heard a few rumors?"

"This girl did hear about it in a restaurant in the capital, but they don't always make something out of nothing," Zhao Xiaomo retorted, "If you don't do it, how can others say this about you." ”

Li Xiaohu was secretly annoyed in his heart: "What's the matter with these people in the restaurant? I am really so evil? My crimes are too numerous to mention, right? Xiao Yuxie also heard from others that he was a lewd and womanizer, and this time it was Zhao Xiaomo's turn. If this had been placed in a previous life, a hundred lawyer's letters would have been sent to you in minutes. ”

Zhao Xiaomiao said curiously: "Sister, when did we hear others talking about the tanuki brother in the restaurant?" She was still young, and she didn't pay attention to what was being said outside in the carriage last night, and she still thought that Li Xiaohu was an immortal disciple called "Tanuki".

"It's all nonsense!" Li Xiaohu said angrily, "They are just jealous of my talent." ”

"No matter what, you did help us last night," Zhao Xiaomo thanked her insincerely, she didn't want to discuss it anymore, so she said coldly: "But please also ask His Royal Highness the Prince to stop pestering us sisters." ”

Hearing Zhao Xiaomo's words, Li Xiaohu was speechless. He has gained knowledge, first Xiao Yuxi suspected that he was wrongdoing to her, and then Zhao Xiaomo said that he was entangled, what kind of mess is this.

He sighed helplessly and said, "Kind reminder, you have been targeted by Cheng Heijia, it is best to leave the caravan quietly tonight." ”

Zhao Xiaomo's face changed: "Cheng Heijia, that black soul guard, but he wasn't last night—"

"He's pretending to want us to let our guard down, and now they should be keeping an eye on the caravan not far away," Li Xiaohu said seriously, "As soon as they find out that we are separated, they will act." ”

"What should I do then?" Zhao Xiaomo asked anxiously, for some reason she had subconsciously believed Li Xiaohu's words.

"Cheng Heijia doesn't know that we've found out yet," Li Xiaohu said for her, "Hurry up and leave tonight while it's dark, and I'll help you cover up again." ”

At this moment, Xiao Yuxie's crisp voice sounded beside him: "You said it amazingly, senior sister just thinks too much about you." ”

Li Xiaohu got used to her sudden appearance and said, "Don't make trouble, aren't you cultivating?"

"As soon as the convoy stopped, this girl came out," Xiao Yuxi said proudly, "I have investigated a few miles within a radius, except for a few travelers and small caravans, there is no trace of the Black Soul Guard, Cheng Heijia doesn't know that Miss Zhao is hiding here, you just think too much, and you think how smart you are." It seems that being able to hit Li Xiaohu gives her a special sense of accomplishment.

"It's only been a long time, and I haven't finished eating a piece of jerky, so you've explored a radius of how many miles?" Li Xiaohu questioned.

"Mountain people have their own tricks. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, this is no joke. ”

"Huh?" Xiao Yuxie's small hand unfolded to reveal the flying sword, showing off: "This girl is looking at it with my flying sword." ”

Li Xiaohu of Longyuanmen's "Flying Sword Technique" has seen it, if she really controls the flying sword to investigate the surroundings, I am afraid that Cheng Heijia and the others are really not nearby.

Li Xiaohu couldn't figure it out, it stands to reason that Cheng Heijia's troops should follow not far away, no matter how bad it is, there are spies in ambush. So he confirmed to Xiao Yuxie again: "There are really no suspicious people? They may be disguised as ordinary traders." ”

"If they really disguised themselves as traders, and now that the caravan is in place, shouldn't they also stop and watch?" Xiao Yuxi said, pointing to a few people scattered on the road in the distance, "Look, it's them." ”

Li Xiaohu looked towards the place she was pointing, and indeed the few scattered traders had no intention of stopping at all, and still walked forward unhurriedly and slowly, so that it would not be long before they overtook the front of the caravan.

"Could it be that I'm suspicious?" Li Xiaohu whispered to himself.

"Didn't you say that with you, Cheng Heijia didn't dare to do anything to Miss Zhao?" Xiao Yuxi said indifferently, "Anyway, we are all going to Jinzhou, so it is better for you to escort all the way to Jinzhou." ”

Li Xiaohu thought about it for a while and felt that it made sense, so he said, "Let's just decide." With me here, even He Fang's grandfather, He Fan, can't take you away when he comes. ”

He had suggested that Zhao Xiaomo flee overnight, but Xiao Yuxi was sure that Cheng Heijia was not staring at the caravan, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a slap in the face, and now he naturally wanted to boast about Haikou to regain a little face.

"Brother Tanuki is amazing. When the bad guys come, you have to beat them all away. Zhao Xiaomiao cheered.

Zhao Xiaomo didn't appreciate it, she said hello to Xiao Yuxie and pulled Zhao Xiaomiao away, completely ignoring Li Xiaohu.

Li Xiaohu was involved in this matter in order to find trouble with the He family, and he didn't care about Zhao Xiaomo's attitude.

They were unaware of the conversation—a bronze cricket was lying quietly on the axle of the carriage beside it, its black jewel-like eyes watching everyone's every move.

At this time, Cheng Heijia, who was ten miles away, opened his closed eyes, and he silently said to himself: "Are you going to Jinzhou? ”

The Black Soul Guards under Cheng Heijia have been staying here since last night, and they haven't made any moves until now.

"Dong Yi, did you say that Captain Cheng's cricket is really useful, where did he get his baby?"

"How do I know. Dong Yi replied angrily.

A bearded black soul guard smiled, "It is said that those are his second pair of eyes and second ears, so you should be careful next time you say bad things about Captain Cheng." ”

Another young black soul guard asked curiously: "Dong Yi, you went on a mission with Captain Cheng last time, and after you came back, Captain Cheng had this cricket, you must know the reason." Tell me what you all did last time. ”

Dong Yi suddenly said angrily: "I don't know!"

"If you don't know, you don't know, as for making such a big fire?" the young Black Soul Guard muttered quietly.

Dong Yi didn't pay any attention to them, got up and walked to the side alone.
