Chapter 63: Xue Wenxi
Mingguang City
A tavern in the city was bustling with activity, and the owner was greeting Xiao Er to entertain the guests who came in, when a figure in a robe appeared in the tavern, looked around, and found a vacant seat in the corner and sat down.
"Xiao Er, a pot of good liquor, a stack of animal meat." The young man's voice came from the figure.
"Okay! A jug of spirits! A stack of beast meat! Wait a minute! Xiao Er shouted enthusiastically.
The person in the robe sitting at the table was Lu Zhiheng, there were no birds, and it took him a full day to arrive in this Mingguang City.
He didn't rush to find Xue Wenxi, but wanted to rest in this tavern for a while, first, to see if he could find any useful news, and second, to observe whether he was being followed by anyone.
"Second Wang, why did you say that there are so many more faces in this Mingguang City recently?"
"You ask me, where do I know?"
The two guests were chatting, and Xiao Er ran over to interject, "What the guest said before is that there are a lot of people coming to Mingguang City recently, and the rooms in our tavern are all full, and it seems that they are still in a group." ”
"What are you talking nonsense here, boy! Don't you see the guests waiting in a hurry? Why are you still stupid, hurry up and serve the food! The shopkeeper scolded.
Seeing this, Xiao Er shrank his head and ran to the kitchen in a gloomy manner.
Lu Zhiheng on the side listened to the conversation of several people clearly.
"It seems that this Mingguang City is not safe anymore, we have to find Xue Wenxi quickly and take her out of here."
Lu Zhiheng thought in his heart.
The efficiency of the tavern is very good, and after a while, Xiao Er will bring up the wine and meat.
Lu Zhiheng picked up the beast meat and bit it hard, he had been on the road for the past few days, and he hadn't eaten.
A sip of strong wine went straight down his throat into the abdominal cavity, dripping freely, since he drank with Roche and Xu Fenghua, he seemed to have a little like drinking, but the wine here was far inferior to Rosh's wine, although the taste was not bad, but it was not enough to make Lu Zhiheng feel drunk.
The liquor is in the throat, like a free life.
A pair of small eyes poked out of Lu Zhiheng's chest, and those eyes were full of longing for the plate of beast meat in front of him, and he couldn't wait to stretch out his little claws and grab at the beast meat.
Lu Zhiheng hurriedly stopped, and then picked up a piece of beast meat and handed it to his arms.
The little claw grabbed the beast meat and ate it in a big gulp, but after a while, the little claw stretched out again, and the small eyes looked directly at Lu Zhiheng, meaning that it still wanted.
There was no way, Lu Zhiheng had to hand it the meat on the table piece by piece, but fortunately his location was a small corner, so no one noticed him.
At this moment, several mysterious men wearing cloaks came to the tavern, and the leader asked the innkeeper.
"Boss, have you had someone from Beichen Academy here recently?"
The shopkeeper shook his head.
Lu Zhiheng could feel the spiritual power emanating from those people, the middle stage of the Triple Realm that led the way, and the early stage of the rest of the Triple Realm.
Lu Zhiheng did not panic and continued to drink and eat meat.
The leader observed everyone in the store, and there was nothing suspicious, except that Lu Zhiheng, who was sitting in the corner, looked a little withdrawn.
The man in the lead came to Lu Zhiheng's side, pulled a stool and sat over, staring at Lu Zhiheng with his eyes and asking.
"I see that my friend's spiritual power is surging, and his strength must not be weak, I don't know where my friend came from?"
"Coming from Liuguang City."
Lu Zhiheng said flatly, still drinking.
"From Ryūguang City? I wonder if my friends have met anyone from Beichen College along the way? If a friend sees or hears something, please tell me and wait, I will definitely have a spirit yuan to send you. ”
"I haven't met anyone from Beichen Academy, and I haven't heard anything about it, I'm sorry."
The leader took a deep look at Lu Zhiheng, then got up and left.
Lu Zhiheng was also relieved to see this group of people leave, although he was sure that he would solve the other party in an instant, but it would inevitably add great difficulties to the next action.
The leader just now didn't react after seeing his face, which meant that they just knew that it was someone from Beichen Academy who went to pick up Xue Wenxi, but they didn't know what that person looked like, which was undoubtedly good news for him.
"Now there is another question, that is, whether they already know that Xue Wenxi is in Mingguang City, if they already know, it will be troublesome." Lu Zhiheng thought in his heart.
"Little two! Checkout! Lu Zhiheng put a few taels of gold on the table and left.
The street was bustling, but Lu Zhiheng clearly felt that several spiritual powers were scanning the pedestrians on the street, including him, of course.
He walked around to a school, and the pleasant sound of the piano came from the house, which made him feel refreshed.
"This kind of piano sound, in the previous life, it was also at the master level." Lu Zhiheng sighed.
He climbed over the courtyard wall and followed the sound of the harp, and at last he saw the man playing the piano on the shore of a lake.
I saw a beautiful woman sitting by the lake with her back to him, her eyes slightly closed, and her hands kept playing on the guqin, making bursts of crisp and pleasant sounds.
Feeling that someone was coming, the sound of the piano stopped abruptly, and the woman looked back at Lu Zhiheng, who could be regarded as seeing her true face.
The skin is like snow, the face is exquisite, the moving eyes are extremely clear, the two leaves are light eyebrows, like a good painting, the white clothes, the whole body reveals the word pure, even Lu Zhiheng is a little stunned.
Such a pure and refined woman is one of the four families in Kyoto, the daughter of the head of the Xue family, Xue Wenxi.
"I don't know what the prince is doing when he comes to the Rite Mansion?" Xue Wenxi was the first to speak, and when she saw Lu Zhiheng, she instinctively raised her vigilance.
Only then did Lu Zhiheng come back to his senses and took out the snow-white token in his arms.
"Second Uncle's token? You were sent by your second uncle to take me back to Kyoto? Xue Wenxi asked.
"Yes, please Miss Xue on the road with me." Lu Zhiheng opened his mouth and said.
Xue Wenxi took the token, then directly pulled out a sword from his waist and put it against Lu Zhiheng's throat, and said seriously, "In the early stage of the Triple Realm, it is impossible for my second uncle to send someone with such cultivation to pick me up, who are you!" ”
Lu Zhiheng was amazed at the speed at which Xue Wenxi took out the sword, but it was not fast enough, only to see him smile slightly, flick the sword body with his index finger, and then pass by the sword body, and press his two fingers against Xue Wenxi's snow-white throat.
In just one breath, Lu Zhiheng completed the counterattack.
Xue Wenxi's cultivation was in the middle of the Triple Realm, so naturally it was impossible for her to be Lu Zhiheng's opponent, and she didn't have the idea of harming Lu Zhiheng, so it was reasonable to be restrained.
But all this surprised Xue Wenxi.
Lu Zhiheng looked at her eyes full of disbelief and smiled confidently.
"The student of the outer courtyard of Beichen Academy, Lu Zhiheng, was entrusted by the Xue family to come to escort Miss Xue Wenxi back to Kyoto."
