081 Pear Cake Pastry
The five people were divided into three paths, each with different tasks in different directions. "Ya * Wen * Yan * Love * First * Hair"
However, it didn't take long for Tao Wanyan to confirm her thoughts.
Shen Xia stood on the tree, still holding his sword and clasping his hands in front of him, looking coldly into the distance. Tao Wanyan stood on the side of the road on horseback, looking at the corpse lying on the side of the road. Judging from what he was wearing, it was Jingye's guard.
And this person obviously died of poisoning.
And it is the Gu poison of Gu Miao pear.
"It seems that Wan Ning is with Jing Ye." Tao Wanyan frowned, but her heart was much heavier.
Although they could tell that they were looking in the right direction, they could not tell what the purpose of the person who was going to abandon the corpse was.
If it was Tao Wanning who did it, it means that she is currently safe. But this made Tao Wanyan wonder if she had created this disappearance by herself, or was it really to stay as a clue to follow?
But if none of the above is true, then if Tao Wanning is trying to use this to ventilate the news......
Isn't that a little too cruel?
Tao Wanyan's heart became heavier and heavier, and she couldn't say a word. He raised the reins in his hand and continued walking. Shen Xia's gaze swept over Tao Wanyan and jumped slightly. Landing next to the corpse, with a hand raised, Yichen floated by, and then jumped forward and flew forward, and at the same time whistled, and a black horse ran out of the depths of the forest.
And the corpses that passed by the side of the road were reduced to ashes after she jumped over.
Shen Xia landed on the back of the horse with one foot, his body slowly fell, and he rode on the horse and followed the figure of Tao Wanyan.
The corpse that Tao Wanyan saw was just the beginning.
"Landlord, I have sent someone to inform Yuan Xia that they will be able to meet in about three days. Until then, do we move on or ......"
"Continue, of course. Time was of the essence, and we didn't have time to wait. If you don't sit down on the marker on the way, if Xia and the others come, they will naturally follow us after reading the mark. ”
"Yes!"
It was getting late, and Tao Wanyan thought about it, but decided to stay in the town he passed by for a while to make plans. After all, it is easy to be dangerous when it is dark to travel.
"Shen Xia, are there any of our people in this town?"
Shen Xia held his chin and thought for a while, "Yes, but it's not called Pear Blossom Building, nor is it an inn, but a dim sum shop." ”
Dim sum?
"Okay, let's find an inn to stay in first, you ask them to come to see me, you must be careful."
"Yes, landlord."
Judging from the clues of these two days, the group must have passed through this place. I don't know when I passed by, but the people here must have noticed it.
So it's worth cross-examining.
Moreover, if the person who held Tao Wanning hostage was Bailiyue, then this place would inevitably become a must-pass place for them. In this place, Tao Wanyan found its difference as soon as he entered it, for example, there is actually a very thick foreign atmosphere here.
Whether it is the gadgets used for trading on the street, or the snacks on the street, they all have a completely different atmosphere from the imperial capital. Therefore, there must be all kinds of people gathering here, or in other words, there may even be people here who are hundreds of miles away.
And this is not far from the frontier, and it should not take a few days to get to Beidi in the future.
In this way, is this really related to the Beidi people?
With the pace of chasing, the doubts in Tao Wanyan's heart became deeper and deeper. At the same time, Tao Wanyan also chose an inn from other people. The style of this inn is not like the style of the Central Plains, but it is somewhat similar to Beidi.
On top of that, there were a lot of people in the store in the middle of the night, but that was the best way for her to find out the news.
As soon as you walk into the inn, the whole atmosphere of the inn is different. Whether it was sitting and eating, or the proprietress of the inn, they all looked at her very vigilantly.
It stands to reason that Jing Yaoguo and Beidi Yanhe have been in harmony for half a year, and it is understandable that Beidi people come here to do business. But why did she clearly feel the hostility of the Beidi people to the Central Plains people.
This doesn't happen overnight. Rather, it is like the formation that has accumulated for a long time. It shouldn't be.
"Yo, the shop is full today, so the two girls should find another place." Driven by the boss's eyes, Xiao Er stepped forward knowingly, saying that he was polite, but his eyes were full of contempt.
Shen Xia has always been calm, so he didn't speak. Tao Wanyan only smiled lightly, "I just want to rest here and eat." There are no plans to stay. ”
"That's really embarrassing, the food in the store is sold out."
The obvious refusal made Tao Wanyan's originally just curious heart puzzled. This is definitely not a simple matter. Could it be that there is really something wrong here?
However, whether it is related to Wanning or not, Tao Wanyan has to find out.
"Then it's bothering the store to serve us some tea."
After speaking, Tao Wanyan turned around and sat down. No matter what the shopkeeper said, she would never leave here until she figured out the truth of the matter today. The people who were eating here also looked at Tao Wanyan's table, their eyes were full of hostility, and the murderous spirit became stronger. Tao Wanyan really didn't even frown. Instead, he called Shen Xia to sit down with a light expression. "Xiao Xia, sit down."
In this reaction, the shopkeeper was angry on the spot, the anger came up, he stepped forward, his hands were clenched into fists, and he was about to roar at Tao Wanyan, but there was a faint smell of pastries at the door.
Then, two children, a man and a woman, walked in, carrying baskets in their hands. The smell of the pastry emanated from the delicate basket.
"Excuse me, which guest ordered the pastry from Pear Rose?" The child's voice was sweet, like a clear spring. It's more crisp than a child's voice, and it's sweeter than an adult's voice, and it sounds very pleasant.
"Little girl," Shen Xia, who had never spoken, spoke, and her voice was very soft, "Thank you for bringing the pastries here." ”
"It turns out that this young lady ordered the pastries from Pear Rose." The little girl said, slowly walking towards Tao Wanyan's table. But the strange thing is that the shopkeeper of this inn doesn't seem to want to provoke the people of Pear Rose, and when they walk in, they don't mean to stop them. After the two children walked in, the boy opened the basket, and instantly remembered that it diffused, exuding an enticing fragrance that made people salivate.
The basket contained another delicate box, and the little girl gently took the box out and put it on the table, and opened the lid, "Miss, please use it." ”
Tao Wanyan's eyes turned lightly, looked at Shen Xia, and immediately understood that this was indeed the people of Lihualou lurking here.
Thinking of this, Tao Wanyan smiled lightly and looked at the tempting pastries in the box, "Thank you for your hospitality, but pastries have never been my favorite." ”
At this moment, it was already dark outside, and there were not many pedestrians on the road.
