Chapter 260: The Killer's Nest
Lin Qiqi did not answer Gu Qiuyu's question directly, and after saying this, he stopped talking, obviously not wanting to say too much. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info instead left the river bank with the three of them and headed for the road in the distance.
Although the city is so luxurious, the three of them did not travel through the city, but took the road around the city outside Tianhe City, and came to the outside of the main city in the shortest time, so the three of them also saw the prosperity and large population of the city.
On the way, Gu Qiuyu felt that the city of Huazhou was different from other places. The first is the city wall, the city wall of Huazhou City is very different from the city wall in other regions, and the duckweed city that passed through before has no city wall, but is only surrounded by some wooden stakes on the periphery of the town, and the main purpose is to resist the beasts, not the army.
The main city of Tianhe City here is already where the royal city is located, but there are no too tall city walls, and there are no towering arrow towers. The city wall is surrounded by green trees, the moat is crystal clear, and you can see large red fish swimming, which shows the shallowness of the river.
Tianhe City is one of the largest cities in Huazhou, but its city wall can not be compared with the general small city in Hanzhou, Gu Qiuyu deeply remembers that the towering city wall of Panshi City is like a mountain, and the main city wall of Tianhe City is less arrogant, more gentle.
The three of them showed their official documents at the city gate, and calmly entered the main city, where there was no river passing, the roads were wide and flat, the houses on the side of the road were made of stone and wood, and the high and low courtyard walls were inhabited by high-ranking officials and nobles or people who worked for them.
Only on the side of the road behind the tall houses are the small wooden houses, but they are all clean and neat. There are not many pedestrians in the city, after all, this is the political center of the entire Tianhe Kingdom, and there is not a need for too many merchants here, and all supplies can be transported in from the outer city. At the same time, the soldiers and arresters here are much more obvious, and the plainclothes officials don't know how many there are.
After walking through the straight street, the three of them came to a relatively quiet place, surrounded by local residents of Tianhe City, all of whom were two-story wooden houses, and some dried fish would be dried at the door. In Gu Qiuyu's eyes, this is also very novel.
And the surrounding residents also cast curious glances at the three of them, mainly because the tall horses ridden by the three of them were too conspicuous, but this kind of horse was not uncommon in Tianhe City.
After two moments, Lin Qiqi led the two of them to a very secluded mansion, and there was not a single pedestrian on the road outside. After the three of them dismounted, Lin Qiqi took the two of them and walked in directly pushing the door.
After walking through the front room and entering the backyard, suddenly, Gu Qiuyu was startled, and the sword box hidden in the sheath buzzed.
At this moment, many people had already appeared around the three of them, these people were wearing ordinary people's clothes, they were not holding weapons, and they didn't look like they had a vicious expression, but they exuded a thick murderous aura on their bodies.
"It's not good, there is an ambush, our whereabouts are exposed?!"
Wei Buyu was shocked, and hurriedly glanced around, finding that they had been faintly surrounded.
"What are the three heads hunting! Why trespassing!"
There were sounds of doubt all around, and a cold light could be faintly seen.
Wei Buyu had forgotten his disguise just now, and when he heard that he was called to be head-hunted, he remembered that he had changed his face, and he also figured out in his heart, since Lin Qiqi brought the two of them, naturally there would be no problem.
Gu Qiuyu felt a powerful internal qi appear on the side, and at this time, he saw a person walking out of the people around him, looking at Lin Qiqi in front of him, his brows frowned, and he looked a little hesitant.
"Qi Forty, you don't even know me anymore?"
Lin Qiqi looked at the person who came out, smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and wiped it on his face, revealing his original smile.
Seeing that Lin Seventeen had arrived, Qi Forty immediately collected the murderous aura on his body, and bowed his head respectfully.
Seeing this, the surrounding people also bowed to Lin Qiqi, but without saying a word, they retreated.
Lin Qiqi turned around and said to the two: "Let's go, don't look around." ”
The three of them followed Qi Forty towards the backyard, and it didn't take long for them to come to a relatively large courtyard.
At this time, someone brought in the horses outside, and whispered to Forty: "I've seen it around, but I don't have any ideas." ”
Then he took off the luggage on the horse, and Qi Forty walked directly into the main hall of the courtyard with the three of them.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw that the main hall was already full of people, and when he saw Lin Qiqi come in, except for a man sitting in the main seat, the rest of the people got up and saluted.
Lin Qiqi waved his hand, motioned for them to sit down, turned to Gu Qiuyu and the others, and said, "Brother Tian, you take Brother Sun to the back to change your clothes and eat something first, I have something to say to my fellow disciples." ”
A man approached the two and led them in the way.
Gu Qiuyu nodded, and under the gaze of the people around him, he walked towards the back room with Wei Buyu.
Gu Qiuyu knew that he had come to the stronghold of the Xingtian Palace, but Lin Qiqi didn't seem to want the people of the Xingtian Temple to know the true identities of the two. Since the two of them came here only to complete a very secret mission, of course, their true identities could not be known.
After coming to a room, the two of them changed into clean clothes, ate a little more, and began to close their eyes and rest, waiting for Lin Qiqi to call them.
On the contrary, Wei Buyu, who had been arguing with Lin Qiqi along the way, quieted down after entering this courtyard, and when he was in the hall just now, Gu Qiuyu also found that Wei Buyu's eyes had been staring at his toes, and he looked surprisingly honest.
"What's wrong? Something is wrong with you since I saw you here. ”
Wei Buyu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly whispered: "I said, my boss, do you know what kind of place this is, this is the largest stronghold of the Xingtian Temple in Huazhou, don't say that I am a disciple of the Thunder Fire Hall, even a disciple of Qingxuan will die if he accidentally enters this place!"
"Oh. Then why did you let us into this courtyard in the first place?"
"That shows they were prepared not to let us go back in the first place!"
"But we were pretending to be fast catchers!"
"Obediently, don't say it's a quick catch, even if a general makes the people of the Xingtian Temple look unpleasant or feel threatened, he will do the same. ”
Gu Qiuyu responded lightly, but he didn't think so, the Xingtian Temple in his eyes was not as cold-blooded as the world said, but it looked more pleasing to the eye than some sects.
"Hey, boss, you are really a god, you can be calm in this killer's nest, I really admire!"
Wei Buyu looked at Gu Qiuyu, who was there with his eyes closed and recuperating, and shook his head helplessly.
They waited for a long time, until late in the evening, when someone came to inform them that they should go to the side room for dinner.
Gu Qiuyu tidied up his clothes, put the sword box in the sheath, carried it on his back, woke up Wei Buyu, who was sleeping heavily, and walked towards the place to eat.
"You fat man, you just said you were scared, and now you are asleep. ”
On the way, Gu Qiuyu also sarcastically mocked Wei Buyu, indicating that his acting skills were a bit too much, pretending to be frightened on the surface, but in fact, he didn't think so.
The two of them were led to a room, the houses of the common people in Huazhou are generally more than two floors, the first floor is for things, and the second floor is for people, but the rich people are a tall house, and the foundation of the house is much higher than the ground, and there are several steps to go up when entering the house.
The windows of this room were large, and the wooden lattices were carved with some patterns of flowers, and the inside of the windows was covered with pure white silk, but there was not a single window in this weather.
When the two of them entered the house, they felt very cool, and it turned out that there were two basins of ice in the house. There was a square table in the room, the man sitting in the main hall just now was sitting facing the door, Lin Qiqi was on the side, and there was no one else, at this time, the two were sitting in the room chatting about something, and when they saw Gu Qiuyu and the others coming, they stopped and looked up at them.
Lin Qiqi also changed into a set of clean clothes, obviously tidying up.
"The two of you have come from afar, and you have been tired of traveling, I am afraid that it is difficult for you outsiders to adapt to the weather in Yanzhou, and you must have suffered a lot. ”
Gu Qiuyu and the others, as soon as they entered the door, the man opened his mouth to greet them, but his body sat motionless on the chair.
As soon as Wei Buyu heard what the man said, his small eyes narrowed slightly, and he said with a smile: "You bother, I am from Huazhou, fat man, I am from Huazhou, and there is nothing to adapt to." ”
After that, Wei Buyu didn't see anything, he pulled out a chair and sat on it firmly, the huge body squeaked the chair under him, but Wei Buyu ignored it, looking at the person who spoke with a smile on his face.
"Oh, it seems that this fat brother is also from Huazhou?"
The man smiled slightly, straightened his body, and looked at Wei Buyu.
Wei Buyu said angrily: "What do you mean that I am also from Huazhou, that outsider should be you, right?" By the way, I am here, why hasn't the food come yet?!"
Wei Buyu, who was not afraid of heaven and earth, was a little irritable because he was hungry, and when he saw that person talking coldly, his nature of not caring about anything was revealed.
"Humph!"
The man snorted coldly, and a cold aura suddenly gushed out of his body, directly surrounding Wei Buyu.
Wei Buyu was not to be outdone, and the hot internal qi poured out at the same time, confronting the man.
The internal qi of the two people happened to be in harmony, and under the hedge, a strange wind sound was generated in the house, and a gust of wind appeared in the house, and a window was blown open with a squeak, and the two disciples of the Xingtian Temple ran to check, but they were sent back by Lin Qiqi.
"Fatty, the person who dares to come to the territory of my Heavenly Palace and say something, you are not the first, but you will soon become one of them. ”
The man's eyes were wide open, and his body tightened.
Wei Buyu also shot back: "What a big breath, this is not your Western Wilderness! Besides, if you hadn't invited me here, I wouldn't have been rare in your place!"
