Chapter 265: Entering the City
In fact, parting has always been accompanied by two shadows, one is the back of the person who is far away, and the other is the figure of the person who is in place.
For such a short fate of meeting in Pingshui, Xiao Xiang looked very plain, and the past passed.
But as far as Shen is concerned, it, like all previous stories, will be buried deep in the heart.
Xiao Xiang walked a little back, and she could feel the change in Shen's state of mind.
Because her body is recovering well, it is no longer so difficult to walk now, and occasionally she can keep up with Shen Qing's pace quickly.
Xiao Xiang looked at Shen Kuang's straight back, the long sword and wine were burdened, but a young man in a green shirt who was not very old looked extremely old.
His name is Jiang Su, and he only seems to know his name Jiang Su.
Xiao Xiang gradually began to be curious about Shen Jing's past, and began to wonder what kind of person he was and what kind of story he had. Without mixing with anything else, it's just a simple curiosity.
The two of them were still so calm as usual, the air in the mountains and forests was fresh in the morning, but the dew was deep and the water was heavy, and it was not comfortable to walk.
When the sun comes out, the dew is steaming, and everything is fine again.
The sun shines through the branches of the tall trees, which have lost their leaves, but they still have some of the light on their bodies. At the intersection of light and dark, even the light seemed to have a substance.
Shen Guo has been accustomed to seeing these since he was a child, and he doesn't think it's unusual, but Xiao Xiang is very strange all the way.
She sometimes moved her hand slowly from the dark to the light, her fingers rising and falling in the light, as if she could catch the light.
It's a pity that not only did she not hold it, but when she looked up again, Shen Jing had already walked away.
The two of them hurried, plain as water.
Halfway through the journey, the trail is no longer a mountain path. Although the road is still sparsely populated and there are still few people, the road is easy to walk.
In the past few days of hurrying, the only surprise to Shen Xiang was that Xiao Xiang didn't say a word of bitterness.
Shen Kuang originally thought that Xiao Xiang's status was noble and injured, and it was normal for her to complain a little, but she didn't expect her to endure it, which also made Shen Kuang's perception of her a little better.
The two traveled at the same time, and only rested twice along the way.
On this day, there were more and more pedestrians along the road, and Shen Kuang and Xiao Xiang could also vaguely see the outline of Lechuan County in the distance.
In order to prevent unnecessary accidents, Shen Guo had already used secret methods to slightly change Xiao Xiang's appearance in advance, and also cut off a piece of tulle from her original skirt and covered her face.
This not only covers the face, but also naturally does not go unnoticed by anyone who cares.
There were a lot of passers-by on the road, such as Shen Guo and Xiao Xiang, so their appearance did not attract much attention.
In winter, the days are shortening, and the sun is now crumbling in the western sky. Counting the time, there is still an hour to come.
The inspection of entering the city was not strict, and the soldiers at the gate of the city only briefly asked where they came from and what they were doing here, and then let the two of them enter the city.
Lechuan City is only a small city in the border belt of Nanyang County, Daliang, because it is adjacent to Huailing, so the leather business is prosperous, and many merchants gather.
Although Shangjia is regarded as the lower ninth class by orthodoxy, the places where commerce is prosperous are quite prosperous, and the same is true of Lechuan County.
After entering the city, you can see shops selling leather goods all over the streets, and usually several of them are connected together, and the prices are very cheap compared to the outside.
Shen Kuang and Xiao Xiang didn't linger here, they quickly found a shop, and planned to have a meal first.
He didn't think it was until he was sitting in the restaurant now, and he didn't notice that there were many people in Lechuan City, where commerce and trade were prosperous.
It's just that Shen Jing's thought was only fleeting.
After the two of them sat down, a shopkeeper with a white rag on his shoulders trotted over, and while wiping the table, he asked with a smile, "Two guest officers, what do you want to eat?" The small shop is colorful

Rich, everything. ”
Shen Guan said casually: "Let's have a few signature dishes, just enough for us to eat." ”
As he spoke, Shen Guan untied the wine bottle on his waist and handed it to the guy and said, "Help me fill it up, I want the best wine in your store." ”
The smile on the man's face was even bigger when he heard this, but in order to avoid being confused later, he said in advance: "Guest officer, the small one has to inform you in advance, the price of the most expensive wine in the store is not cheap." ”
The guy spoke appropriately, which not only showed his meaning, but also did not collide with Shen Jing.
When Shen Guan heard this, he just said lightly that he would not miss your money, and the guy left with a smile.
I like this kind of lord who is not bad for money.
The man trotted to the front of the cabinet and told the shopkeeper about the guest's request, and the shopkeeper smiled and ordered another young man who looked like a small servant to go to the back kitchen to spread the word.
The guy leaned against the counter, took out a peanut from his pocket and threw it into his mouth, muttering to the shopkeeper while chewing: "Shopkeeper, why have so many Jianghu people come to Lechuan City recently?" ”
The restaurant is full of people coming in and out every day, and the shopkeeper naturally sees it in his eyes, although he also feels this way, but he doesn't care, just think that those businessmen have the money to hire more guards, after all, life is more important than money these days.
The guy didn't pay much attention to this, patted his sleeve and went to receive the new guests again.
However, the conversation between the two was heard by Shen Jing not far away, and Shen Jing combined with his own previous feelings, and a sense of vigilance suddenly rose.
Xiao Xiang, who was on the side, saw Shen Qian's thoughtful appearance and asked strangely, "Jiang Sui, what's wrong?" ”
Shen Guo didn't hide it when he heard this, and told Xiao Xiang what he thought in his heart.
After that, Shen Jing said: "Although we are not sure whether these suddenly extra people in the rivers and lakes are related to you, we have to guard against it." We try not to show our faces, so as not to arouse suspicion. ”
Xiao Xiang nodded when he heard this: "There are a lot of forces in the rivers and lakes that are attached to the prince, and I think it is very likely that he has used the power of the rivers and lakes to find me." ”
The forces of the rivers and lakes have always been a force to be reckoned with, and the people of the rivers and lakes are their homes all over the world, so they are often well-informed, and there is no shortage of capable people and righteous people here, and mobilizing their power can be described as a tiger with wings.
Shen Jing said in a deep voice: "If this is really the case, then we can't enter the city again in the future, because their speed will definitely be faster than your people." ”
Xiao Xiang was silent, as if he was a little undecided.
Shen Guo glanced at her and didn't say anything, it was up to her to decide at this time.
After a while, the guy from the restaurant came here with four signature dishes and a wine bottle from Shen Jing.
The guy smiled while putting the food down: "Two guest officers, please use it slowly." ”
When he got the wine bottle, Shen Kuang opened it first and took a sip. He has drunk both good and bad wine, so he is not picky, as long as it is wine, and he can drink it.
Unconsciously, the young man who ate vegetables and could only drink tea has turned into an alcoholic, how can it not be embarrassing.
After that, Shen Guo moved his chopsticks to taste the taste of this restaurant, which was much better than steamed buns and clear water.
After a day's journey, Xiao Xiang was also hungry, put aside those worries, and eating at the moment was the most important thing.
The two were as silent as ever.
After eating and settling the bill, the two found an inn in the city at random. After that, Shen Guo went to the city pharmacy to buy medicine, and Xiao Xiang set out to try to contact her people.
At first, Shen Jing planned to accompany her, but Xiao Xiang said that she could do it alone, so Shen Jing didn't insist anymore.
On the way to buy medicine, a small episode occurred.
When Shen Guo came out of the hospital after buying medicine, he saw a pair of parents really pulling his children home on the street corner.
The parents held the child's little hand left and right, and the child jumped in the middle and was not afraid of falling.
At that time, the sunset was only shining, and the soft light shone on the three of them
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
A scene was deeply imprinted in Shen Jing's heart.
Shen Guo stood at the door of the medical hall and stopped to watch, what he was thinking in his heart was only known to him.
When the two of them returned to the inn again, it was already the beginning of the lanterns, the moon was hanging high in the sky, and under the moonlight, Xiao Xiang in the inn did not look good.
Shen Guo not only bought medicinal herbs, but also bought a carriage by the way, because it was really slow to travel with his feet.
Shen Guo has already told the car dealer that he will go and get it early tomorrow morning.
I asked for two guest rooms next to each other, but now they are all in Xiao Xiang's room.
From Xiao Xiang's expression alone, it can be seen that things are not going well.
Shen Jing didn't speak, and after a long time, Xiao Xiang, who had calmed down, said slowly: "I can't contact Donald and Mama Bai." ”
"Is there anyone else you can contact?"
"I don't dare to trust anyone else for the time being."
Shen Kuang didn't ask her how she got in touch when she heard this, but said, "Then let's go directly to Qiyun Mountain, I told Song Wan before, if they can't find it, you can go to Qiyun Mountain first and wait for us." You don't have to be too disappointed, since that prince can use the power of the rivers and lakes to find you, your Donald and Bai Mama must also know, but they are in the dark and we are in the dark, and it is difficult to distinguish each other. ”
After listening to Shen Jing's words, Xiao Xiang was not relieved, after all, Shen Jing was still not good at comforting others.
In fact, along the way, Xiao Xiang's expression was not as desperate as today.
It was a sense of disillusionment and helplessness.
How? There is only silence.
This night, it passed very slowly.
Early the next morning, Shen Kuang and Xiao Xiang rushed to the car dealership, and after Shen Kuang paid the money, they drove the carriage out of Lechuan City.
In the early morning, although the city gate had just opened, it was already bustling with activity.
Shen Jing, who was driving the carriage, struggled through the crowd, and after two moments, he finally squeezed out of the crowd and out of Lechuan City.
After leaving the city, Shen Jing sped up but didn't dare to go too fast, for fear that the bumps would be too big and aggravate Xiao Xiang's injury.
After doing this for more than an hour, Shen suddenly realized that there was a tail following behind the car.
After sensing it, Shen Jing didn't react much, he just suddenly increased his speed, causing the group of people who were following far away to also speed up suddenly.
Xiao Xiang, who was sitting in the carriage, felt that Shen Qing had sped up, so he opened his mouth and shouted: "Jiang Su." ”
Shen Jing, who was driving, also knew that Xiao Xiang was asking, so he replied in a deep voice: "Sit down, we are being targeted." ”
Xiao Xiang was shocked when he heard this: "Has my identity been exposed?" ”
Shen said: "It shouldn't be. I'm guessing we've been being targeted since we entered town last night, and there's a good chance that all outsiders are treated this way. We happen to be a man and a woman, and our identities match, so those people are more suspicious and follow today. Don't worry, they probably won't be sure who we are, so we'll just keep our heads down and walk without knowing anything. ”
I have seen a lot of things that have been hunted and killed, and now that I encounter them again, it is difficult for Shen Jing's state of mind to fluctuate, and it is even more convenient to deal with it.
On the other hand, Xiao Xiang was a little uneasy, and she could only hope for Shen Qian.
After all, the speed of the carriage was no match for the fast horses, so after half an hour, a group of people who followed closely followed, and the faster they traveled, the more likely they were to surround Shen and the two.
After that, a young swordsman appeared on the road ahead, his sword scabbard on the ground, holding the hilt of the sword, and indifferently looking at the approaching Shen Jing.
Shen Guan sneered when he saw this, and the speed of the carriage increased instead of decreasing. Just as he was about to crash into the young man, the young man had no choice but to put away his sword and dodge the roadside, dodging the galloping carriage.
Being hit like this, the young man's face revealed a faint displeasure, and he immediately ordered his subordinates to surround Shen Jing and the two.
