Chapter 448: A Chance Encounter
Xia Yi and Xie Qingshan took the nine-tailed fox down the mountain road and came to the official road, preparing to return to Longxiang Courtyard on foot. On the way, they met a team of Yulin soldiers wearing light armor, stopped the two to check their identities, and only after learning Xia Yi's identity did they politely let them go.
Xia Yi looked back at the back of the Yulin Army as it marched away in a hurry, and was a little strange: "Yulin Army, aren't they the Shang Emperor's Praetorian Guards, why did they appear here?"
Xie Qingshan was very clear about the whole thing: "Have you forgotten? While watching the game, some people around me said that the garrison force in Chaoge City has decreased, and many soldiers have been sent out to encircle and suppress the spies sent by other dynasties and forces. I think this team of Yulin Army is also chasing the spies of which dynasty. ”
After being reminded, Xia Yi recalled this incident.
"Encircling and suppressing spies? I think it's just an opportunity to eliminate dissidents. Xia Yi snorted disdainfully, judging from his understanding of history, there has never been an emperor who has caught spies with such fanfare, if there is a serious incident, it is also the mastermind behind the scenes who wants to take the opportunity to eliminate dissidents, or has another purpose, planning to target some hostile forces.
Do you need such a big fanfare? Things in the dark have their own rules, and if you want to encircle and suppress the spies and carry them out under their rules, the results will be even better, and there is no need to use so many troops, and the military salary consumed is a large amount, and it is not worth it at all.
Xia Yi looked back again, and the group of Yulin Army seemed to have spotted another group of pedestrians, and stopped there as if to interrogate the identity of the other party.
Xia Yi was about to turn around and continue to hurry, when his eyes suddenly stared, looking over from a distance, trying to observe the team of people who were being interrogated behind him.
"What's wrong?" Xie Qingshan asked curiously when he saw Xia Yi stop, and followed Xia Yi's gaze, and in the blink of an eye, he asked softly.
"Something familiar. Xia Yi answered Xie Qingshan's question.
Xie Qingshan thought that Xia Yi was discussing with him, nodded again and again, and replied: "It is indeed a little familiar, it seems to be a familiar old friend." ”
Xia Yi was stunned for a moment, and teased him funny: "Familiar friend?
"Get out!" Xie Qingshan scolded angrily, because the distance was too far, he had to concentrate his spiritual power and eyes, and once again looked out from afar: "Hehe, it is indeed an old friend." No, if the rumors are correct, they should be two old friends. ”
After speaking, Xie Qingshan looked at Xia Yi with a smile on his face.
"What kind of disgusting expression are you?!" Xia Yi glared back angrily, his strength was still too poor, this distance, he couldn't see the distance compared to Xie Qingshan, the third-grade great master.
Xie Qingshan laughed and said, "I'm laughing at you, and I don't know that it's about to be a catastrophe." ”
"A catastrophe is coming?" Xia Yi frowned, and turned back again to look at the team of people and horses that the Yulin Army was checking, at this time, the interrogation was over, and the convoy began to move and quickly rushed towards this side.
Xie Qingshan seemed to think of something, his face changed, and then he said quickly: "Quick! That's Zhou Yongmei of Tianxian Liu!"
Xia Yi hadn't heard of this name, but he had heard of Tianxian Liu, which was Xue Wanqing's master. Xia Yi was about to say something, when he suddenly noticed that the nine-tailed fox in his arms trembled slightly, and immediately realized that something was wrong.
"That Zhou Yongmei shouldn't be the old guy who chased and killed Xiao Jiu, right?!" Xia Yi thought of this in an instant, and his voice changed.
Xie Qingshan nodded again and again, stretched out his hand to Xia Yi and said, "Quick! Give Xiao Jiu to me, Xiao Jiu will definitely let them find out if he hides on you, we are weak now, and it is not appropriate to clash with them." ”
Xia Yi immediately handed over the nine-tailed fox in his arms to Xie Qingshan, Xie Qingshan took out a big cloth bag from his arms, and said quickly to the nine-tailed fox: "Temporarily wronged you for a while, and let you out when I get rid of them!"
The nine-tailed fox also knew that it was a critical moment, and without too much hypocrisy, he immediately got into Xie Qingshan's cloth bag, and Xie Qingshan immediately sealed the mouth of the bag and carried it in his hand. The egg hurts
After doing all this, Xie Qingshan turned his head and said to Xia Yi: "Zhou Yongmei's temper is very short-tempered, and she is an elder of Tianxian Liu, maybe she will reprimand you for Xue Wanqing's matter, remember, Xiao Jiu is now by our side, it is very dangerous, you must endure your temper, don't conflict with Zhou Yongmei, and cause trouble, it will only be bad for us!"
Xia Yi smiled and said lightly: "It's okay, it's just pretending to be a grandson, I understand." I'll write down everything she does, and when we have the opportunity in the future, we'll get her back one by one!"
Xie Qingshan also laughed and teased: "Then I have to sweat for Zhou Yongmei, I will be remembered by you kid, there will be no good things in my life!"
Xia Yi did not deny Xie Qingshan's ridicule, shrugged his shoulders, and said very calmly: "If people don't offend me, I won't offend anyone, if people offend me, see if I don't tear him apart!"
As he spoke, the convoy behind him quickly caught up.
The sound of galloping horses' hooves sounded behind him, such a dense sound of horses' hooves, obviously speeding up, this place was already very close to Chaoge City, it was unusual to rush so anxiously, then there was only one explanation.
Xia Yi and Xie Qingshan glanced at each other, and they both understood in their hearts that the other party had also discovered themselves, which was why they would catch up with the carriage so quickly.
"Stinky boy, you're Xia Yi, right?!"
A woman's voice shouted in the air, and before the words fell, a figure had already rushed behind Xia Yi and slapped Xia Yi on the back.
"Elder?!!!"
"Be careful!"
"Phew!"
Several shouts rang out at the same time, respectively from Xue Wanqing and Zhao Xian, as well as Xie Qingshan.
Xie Qingshan pulled Xia Yi behind him, carried his right hand containing the nine-tailed fox bag behind his back, and handed out his left palm to meet Zhou Yongmei's right hand.
"Bang!~"
A loud bang exploded out of thin air, Zhou Yongmei fell from the sky and slapped Xie Qingshan, and her body involuntarily flew back, and it took her a lot of strength to stabilize her body and fall back into the carriage heavily.
"Boom!"
As soon as the carriage was short, a pair of wheels let out a terrible wail, broke in two and paralyzed on the road, and the wheels were also broken inch by inch, apparently no longer in use.
Xue Wanqing and Ying Yinuo were shocked and immediately came to Zhou Yongmei's side to protect her, and Zhao Xian jumped up from his carriage and jumped in front of Zhou Yongmei to protect her.
Xie Qingshan stood steadily, the soles of his shoes sinking slightly into the ground.
There was a burst of dust around it, which was violently blown away, and between the confrontations between the two sides, the ground was blown very clean and spotless.
Zhou Yongmei never thought that her angry blow would be blocked, she was angry and shouted.
"Who are you!!?
