Chapter 169: Small Hidden in the Wild, Big Hidden in the City (I)

Master You and the others, who had left the city one step in advance, were preparing to cross the boundary of the Sifang Mountain at this time, and they didn't know what was going on in Bihai City, which was hundreds of miles away. The four of them hurried away, and the road gradually widened, and when they passed a junction, their eyes suddenly opened up.

There is an official road several times wide in the south that connects this road, which leads to Panhu Forest and Dragon Scale City, and the two roads merge to the east, which can accommodate seven or eight horses walking side by side at the same time. From here, you will officially enter the boundary between Sifang Mountain and Anhua City.

At this time, everyone faintly felt that something was wrong, because they saw in the distance that under the mountain in the wilderness in front of them, countless master troops were gathering here and camping in the open area at the foot of the mountain.

Master You couldn't help but glance back at the rear, and found that there were still a large number of teams coming up from the official road in the south, and he couldn't help but wonder: The Sifang Mountain in the northeast of Shenya is a military important place, and it is understandable that Hezhen has stationed heavy troops here all year round. But why are there so many more masters assembled today than usual?

Lin Hua, who was on the side, even noticed that something was wrong, so he asked in a low voice: "Commander Ling led you to say that these masters are afraid of tens of thousands of people! Could it be that Li Tianzi has made any big moves recently?" When I thought of the recent events, it was nothing more than the wedding banquet between the Four Cities and the Hongfu. Could it be that these heavy troops are supporting Shuangfeng Kingdom? It is unlikely that they will come.

Hearing his words, Master Ling shook his head and motioned to everyone to stop talking and just take care of their own business. At that moment, the four of them leaned to the side silently, and let the teams gallop past them without even looking at them.

Seeing that it was almost dusk, Ling and Master You discussed, or not tonight, they would first find a post station under the gate of Sifang Mountain to rest for the night, and when they were full of spirits, they would be able to reach Anhua City tomorrow night. Along the way, everyone was also hungry, especially Li Tongjing, who drank the wine he brought halfway~ At this time, the wine worm was in the brain, and I couldn't wait to find an inn to drink happily!

They looked at the masters who came and went in amazement, so they had no choice but to give up. I finally found a wine shop, and I bought cold wine and dry food on the road, because depending on the situation, it is estimated that the inn has no place to live, so I can only rush overnight......

With cold water and dry food, the four of them finally filled their stomachs and sat down next to the stables to rest. Looking at the bustling crowd, Master Ling poked Master You with his elbow and whispered, "Eh, Lao You, I'm afraid that today's Sifang Mountain Station is a little too lively, right? ”

The latter took a sip of water, glanced around the edge of the bowl out of the corner of his eye, and replied: "Isn't it, the 'Commander Li' of Divine Arm City and his entourage, the 'Commander Ouyang' who was originally called the 'Deputy Commander' by Commander Hua's side, and the 'Commander Yi' who has been stationed in the south of the Unnamed Forest for a long time to guard Dragon Scale City......"

Looking at these masters coming and going, he is like a treasure, it seems that he has often carried out tasks with teams from other places in the past few years, and he has long been familiar with these people. After a pause, Master You continued: "It seems that the officers and soldiers of this and Zhen Kingdom stationed in Divine Arm City are basically all together! Isn't Dragon Scale City and the front line not needed to defend recently? What does Ling Commander think about this matter?"

The former shook his head and said, "I don't know, this governor feels a little strange, and as for what is wrong, I can't say it now." But we have a mission on this trip, as long as it doesn't affect our smooth arrival in Anhua City, don't worry about anything, don't ask anything!"

"Well, if the news leaks, I'm afraid the plan will be cut in half before it starts, this is Li Tianzi's task, and we can't afford to go on a business trip!" Speaking of this, Master You suddenly swept his eyes around quickly, and said in a low voice: "I said everyone, we have a 'tail' behind us!"

Before Master Ling could answer, Master Li stepped forward and took over the conversation in an affirmative tone: "Well, there are two people, one in front of the other and one behind each other are less than half a mile apart, and they followed when they left Bihai City, and they have been about three miles behind us. Governor, you say, "Could it be that our plan has been exposed, and that we have been watched by people with ill intentions?"

Master Ling sneered and said indifferently: "Since we have decided to rush overnight, it is better to take advantage of the darkness to get rid of them tonight! If the other party is entangled, we can set up an ambush in front of us and ...... it before entering Anhua City" After speaking, he made a gesture to wipe his neck without a trace.

The other three also felt reasonable, so they nodded. It was almost rested at the moment, and it didn't take long for the group to take advantage of the night and quickly disappear at the end of the official road on horseback......

But then it was unexpectedly smooth, several people rushed all night, until dawn, but the "tail" behind them had disappeared. Relieved, they slowed down and finally reached their destination before dark.

Today's Anhua City is particularly solemn, not only is there more people/traffic than usual, but there are also several times more patrols outside the city and on the city walls. Everyone knew that these few days coincided with the big day of the City Lord's Mansion, and even the Prime Minister of Hezhen Guo personally moved to congratulate him, so it was inevitable that the defense would be tight.

Through the layers of checkpoints and interrogations at the West Gate, the four of them finally entered the city, walked around the street, and stopped one after another. Seeing the gazes of the other three people, Master You was thoughtful, so he pointed his hand to the south and said, "You come with me......"

At that moment, everyone deposited the horses in an inn and had a good meal and drink by the way. Then the former took the three of them all the way south to the south gate.

"Ahh

After listening to Master Ling's inquiry, Master You also smiled bitterly, when he and Jin Kui and Master Tu went to the Weiming Forest to carry out the task of "tying the name cloth", it was an appointment with a "Master Station" outside the south gate of the city. Master Jin didn't say in the letter where the agreed place was, so he had to try his luck there.

Looking at the access control on the three floors inside and the outer three floors, the crowd is also big, and today is not more inconvenient than usual, in and out. If the interrogation is tight, it will be difficult for those of them who have classified tasks to ensure that there will be no leaks.

Master You shook his head, and just wanted to step over, but at this moment, he suddenly felt someone gently pat him on the shoulder. Hurry up and look back~ I saw a tall and thin young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes standing behind him, looking at him with a smile on his face.

The former was stunned for a moment, and then rejoiced: Hey, isn't this the Master Jin who I haven't seen for four years!

In the battle of Bihai City back then, the latter was invited by Liang Mingdi to help, but he did a lot of work! Now the people present recognized him almost at a glance, especially Ling Duling and Lin Hupao, who remembered him vividly.

I haven't seen him for a few years, and Jin Kui hasn't changed much, and he also has an arrogant face, but it gives people the feeling that there is more stability between his eyebrows. He waved at the four of them and grinned, "You guys are really resolute, not long after you arrived in Anhua City, you have also arrived." Ling Duling, You Duwei, Lin Hu Pai, Master Li, don't come to harm!"

If you really want to talk about Jin Kui, at first it was extremely unreliable to give Master You a feeling, but since I knew that he was the son of Jin Tan, one of the "Eight Masters", and he was also the mysterious introducer of Li Xuanli, my impression of him has changed greatly. Especially Master Ling, when he knew that the person in front of him was Jin Kui, who could drag the "Huojun Ghost King" with his own strength and retreat with his whole body, he thought of his young age, and he had to feel admiration from the bottom of his heart!

Seeing that everyone was in place, Jin Kui hurriedly patted everyone's arms and said, "Seniors, since you have all arrived, then this matter has to be considered in the long run." There are other people who haven't arrived yet, and I've already ordered Master Tu to go and pick them up, don't worry! Now, I'm going to take you to meet someone!"

After listening to his words, everyone looked confused, and they all wondered: Who are you going to see, so mysterious and secretive? On the other hand, the former looked at Master You with inexplicable eyes, and said mysteriously: "I think, the next person to see is probably the person you want to see the most, Lao You! ”

As soon as he heard this, he couldn't help it, Master You seemed to think of something, and his heart suddenly "thumped". At that moment, the four of them silently followed behind Jin Kui, and followed him from the main road into the bustling street, and from the street into the alley. After zigzag for a while, he stopped at the entrance of a relatively spacious but inconspicuous courtyard.

Jin Kui stepped forward, pulled up the auxiliary ring of the courtyard door and buckled it gently, and after a while, he heard an old voice from inside: "Who? Now the master has something to do, and it is inconvenient to pick up guests, please go back!"

Master You was just wondering how the voice inside was so familiar, so he heard Jin Kui clear his throat and said, "Don't be funny, old man Tuoba ~ The kid brought a few people! He also brought a pot of 'original sorghum osmanthus stuffed'! If you don't open the door, let's take someone out to drink!"

As soon as the words fell, I heard the door of the house suddenly open with a "bang", and a white-bearded old man leaned out with lightning speed and shouted: "It turns out that your kid is back!

The other four people were stunned by the scene in front of them, and when Master You saw this person, he hurriedly stretched out his hand and said respectfully: "In Xia Bihai City, I have seen the wine fairy senior!" This person who opened the door is not the "Tuoba Wine Fairy"! I didn't expect the old man Tuoba to say goodbye in a hurry, and he didn't see him for several months, so he hid here!

The former squinted at a glance and saw that Master You and Lin Hua were very familiar, but he didn't seem to remember where he had seen them, so he pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled far-fetched~ It can be regarded as saying hello. Then he reached out with one hand, grabbed Jin Kui's collar, and pulled it into the door like a chicken......

The two of them blocked the door, and they saw Tuoba Jiuxian stretching out his hand and groping on Jin Kui's body for a while. The latter knew that the words had been spoken, and he couldn't rely on it now, so he touched himself into his arms~ and really took out a pot of wine! It seems that he seems to know the former's temper very well, and sure enough, Tuoba Wine Fairy immediately smiled when he saw that there was really wine to drink.

Master You and the others watched it funny on the side, and the two of them were playing around like this, grinding their mouths, as if they were quite familiar with each other. At this moment, a majestic voice suddenly came from the courtyard: "Jin Kui, since you are here, hurry up and call the guests in, and make a fuss at the door! Also, Brother Tuoba, how old are you, why are you still so childish?!"

The sound was not loud, but it passed through the corners and clearly reached everyone's ears in a commotion. When the other three heard this, their eyebrows immediately rose, and they said in their hearts that this person's internal skills are so strong! On the other hand, Master You, when the former's voice just fell, there was a sudden "buzz" in his head!

I saw that his face instantly became extremely unnatural, and he hurriedly opened up the wine fairy and Jin Kui, and galloped in three steps and two steps. When the rest of the people saw that he was a little strange, they hurriedly followed, but saw the former go straight to the stone table in the middle of the courtyard, kneel down to an old man who drank tea indifferently and shouted, "Subordinate...... See Plate Commander!!"

"Hiss~ Pan Commander!" Seeing this, Ling, Lin, and Master Li couldn't help but take a deep breath. I saw that the old man was drinking tea indifferently, but without a trace, he stretched out a hand to hold Master You's elbow and helped him up. Looking at the latter's excitement, it was indescribable, and he only looked at this person vigorously, and even his eyes were a little red.

After the latter took a shallow sip of fragrant tea, he raised his head, looked at Master You and smiled slightly: "Brother You, I haven't seen you for a long time, and Pan also misses me so much......! Haha!"

The rest of the people looked at it intently, and saw that this person was full of red light, his eyes were bright, his cheeks and beard were gray and white, and his slender eyebrows and beards were matched, which added a little murderous aura to his majesty! Although he was sitting, it was difficult to hide his long and strong physique! Judging from his countenance and temperament, he was already in his prime.

Everyone breathed for a while, not only bowed down one after another, but said respectfully: "See the commander of the Pan in the next 'junior'!" Sure enough, this person is the "No. 1 Master in the World" and "The Supreme Commander of the Demon Master Army" who has disappeared for decades: Master Pan!!

Although everyone respected him, he didn't put up any fights, he got up and helped him up one by one, and kept saying: "Oh, what commander is not in charge, don't call it so angry in the future, contemptible people can't afford it!

Master You on the side looked at the former with a torch in his eyes, and he had a thousand words in his heart, but only a few words popped out of his mouth: "Pan ~ Pan Commander! Where have you been all these years? You don't know, the 100,000 brothers who were born and died together are all looking forward to you!"

On the other hand, Master Pan laughed and laughed at himself: "Hey~ How can Pan be virtuous, I really can't stand this group of brothers who share hardships...... We don't want to show up, and we also have suffering. Besides, I haven't been anywhere for the past few decades, and I've been in Anhua City all the time! Thanks to the care of the Son of Heaven, I not only concealed the identity of the contemptible people, but also gave the contemptible people a clean environment to retire and provide for the elderly. Besides, we are all old, wouldn't it be better to retire and give the burden to the young people?"

"This ......" Everyone was speechless for a while, always thinking that after Master Pan retired, where did he go to make a cloud and wild crane, but what the people present never expected was that he was hiding in Anhua City! Especially Master You, he often goes in and out of this city, and he never thought that the "Pan Commander" who had followed him for nearly 20 years would actually live under his nose!

This is really unpredictable, as the so-called "small hidden in the wild, big hidden in the city" is nothing more than that. I didn't expect that after being forced to give up the throne for some reason, he could still live in Anhua City at ease without being known to the world, and it seems that he should also benefit from the special care of Li Xuanli, the Son of Heaven.

For decades, there have been countless legends about him, and I thought that I would never see him again in this life, but I didn't expect to see him again in the end......!
