Chapter 18: Eat, Drink, and Be Merry
Under the scorching sun, on a flat mountain road.
The three of them rode horses and walked slowly.
The mountain breeze was refreshing, wafting with the fragrance of all kinds of wildflowers, and the willow breeze riding on the horse took a deep breath of fresh air, and suddenly felt refreshed and comfortable.
On both sides are lush forests, from time to time there is a crisp bird call and insect chirp, listen to the pleasant ear, the willow wind along the way stop and go, it took a little half an hour, it can be regarded as a thousand cloud peak.
The main reason is that the scenery along the road is quite beautiful, and Liu Feng feels that if he walks too fast, he will miss too much scenery, which is a pity.
Xiao Bao'er and Xiao Zhu followed silently on horseback, looking at Liu Feng with a strange look, especially Xiao Bao'er, who was originally lively, but was unexpectedly quiet at this time.
Liu Feng glanced back at the two of them, and was immediately stunned: "Why do you look at me like this?" ”
Xiao Bao'er said: "It's nothing, it's just the way you were coquettish just now, and I can't bear to look at ...... directly."
Thinking of the way in the temple, Liu Feng was holding Li Qingying's hand and dangling it, selling cuteness and coquettishness, Xiao Baoer still felt spicy......
At that time, the four people present, except for Liu Feng himself, like Li Qingying, Xiao Baoer and Xiaozhu, were stunned......
Especially Li Qingying, the whole person froze, looking at Liu Feng in a daze, especially looking at Liu Feng's sincere eyes, her cold pretty face was dyed with a layer of red, her long eyelashes trembled gently, and her eyes had nowhere to place.
This is the first time that Liu Feng personally called her a lady.
So...... Is he accepting himself?
Li Qingying thought sweetly in her heart, the corners of her mouth couldn't stop raising a shallow smile, the whole person was dizzy, and she seemed to have no strength to speak, she just nodded lightly and bit her red lips: "Hmm." ”
The voice was very thin and soft, except for Liu Feng, who was close, who heard it, Xiao Bao'er and Xiaozhu only saw Li Qingying nodding.
In this way, the little white-faced Liu Feng successfully got the token, in fact, he just had the mentality of giving it a try and begged Li Qingying, but he didn't expect Li Qingying to really agree.
What he didn't know was that his coquettish appearance, except for Li Qingying, who felt cute, Xiao Baoer almost didn't throw up, and Xiaozhu took a step back disgustingly.
Liu Feng, who was sitting on horseback, glanced at Xiao Bao'er, and said angrily: "You are embarrassed to say me, I haven't seen that your coquettish work and want to try it?" ”
"Don't say that." Xiao Bao'er looked disgusted: "I'm different from you, I think of your coquettish and cute appearance now, and I want to vomit." ”
Liu Feng didn't want to listen to this, he still wanted to scold this girl, but at this time, Xiaozhu, who had been silent, spoke: "Childe, we have to hurry up, at this speed, we won't be able to reach Changping County after dark." ”
The Demon Sect is thirty miles away from Changping County, and if you ride a horse all the way, you can reach it in one hour, but if you follow Liu Feng's speed, it is estimated that it will not be able to reach it in five or six hours.
"That's right, we have to hurry up, Sister Qingying only let us stay in Changping County for one night, before tomorrow night, we must return to the Demon Sect, otherwise we won't let us come out next time, we can't waste time on the road, arrive in the county seat early, we can play more time."
Xiao Bao'er nodded, when she went down the mountain before, she was also accompanied by Xiaozhu, after all, she was a waste, her force value was not high, and she was a cute and innocent little beauty on the outside, if she met a bad guy who was more powerful than her, she could only shout: Ya Yan Butterfly.
Xiaozhu is a martial artist who can protect her.
Every time the two of them come out, they can reach Changping County in an hour and a half at most, and today there is a little white face like Liu Feng, and the speed slows down all of a sudden.
"Okay." Liu Feng looked at the sky and found that the hour was not early, so he flicked the reins of the horse and slapped it on the horse's buttocks, and the horse neighed, raised its front hooves high, and galloped away.
Xiao Baoer and Xiaozhu rode their horses and whipped their horses, and followed closely behind.
……
On the bustling street market, crowds are crowded, and on both sides of the road, all kinds of small stalls are neatly arranged, and shops are lined up one after another.
At the time of Shen, the sun was a little less scorching, and the three of them led the horses and poured into the city with the flow of people.
Changfu Inn, the largest inn in Changping County, every time Xiao Baoer came out in the past, he lived here, and as soon as the three of them stopped, three shopkeepers with strong eyesight greeted them with smiles and led the horses to the stables.
asked for three upper rooms, and the three of them ordered another table of wine and food, planning to fill their stomachs first and rest by the way, after all, they rode their horses all the way, which made Liu Feng feel a little tired.
After being full of wine and food, Xiao Baoer couldn't hold back the excitement in her heart, and couldn't wait to get out of the inn, wandering around the street, and when she met delicious food and fun, she would take out her small money bag and buy it all boldly.
Liu Feng has no money, but Xiaozhu does, whatever Liu Feng wants to buy, Xiaozhu pays for him, Liu Feng feels that the reason why Li Qingying doesn't give him silver is because he is afraid that he will take the silver and do mischief, after all, walking down the street, Liu Feng has already seen two brothels, in the eyes of women, aren't men good?
Li Qingying was probably afraid that he would go to a place like the Qinglou brothel, so he let Xiaozhu take charge of the finances.
In the evening, the sun sets over the western mountains.
Xiao Baoer is still happy to wander among various stalls and shops, her little face is radiant, and she is not tired at all. Liu Feng's feet were a little soft, and she persuaded Xiao Bao'er to go back three times and twice, but this girl turned a deaf ear.
Xiaozhu was expressionless and silently followed the two of them.
"Xiaozhu, look at it, those hairpins look so good." Xiao Baoer pulled Xiaozhu and ran to a stall selling jewelry, looking at the dazzling array of jewelry with bright eyes, selecting them one by one.
Liu Feng's attention was on a green building on the corner of the street, which had already begun to open, and the dusty woman with heavy makeup stood at the door, beckoning the men who walked by the door.
There were a few stinky men, so they couldn't resist the temptation and were pulled in, and at the end of the night, not only the silver had to be spent, but the sperm was also squeezed out.
Liu Feng shook his head, withdrew his contemptuous gaze, and saw that Xiao Bao'er and Xiaozhu in front of him had already walked away, and he hurriedly chased after them.
Suddenly, he stepped on a hard thing under his feet, Liu Feng lowered his head and picked it up, it was a cyan money bag, bulging, and the weight was quite heavy.
He quickly swept the crowd around him, and when he saw that no one was paying attention to him, he quietly put himself into his arms, and then quickly caught up with the two girls.
In the crowd not far away, a man in brocade clothes quietly watched Liu Feng's back.
"The third prince, he is Liu Feng." On the side of the man in brocade, there was a slender woman, the woman was veiled, and said softly.
"I know." The man in brocade nodded slightly, and his tone was a little helpless: "Now, I can only get out of trouble by relying on him." ”
"Third Prince, those killers won't arrive at least at night, or we'd better run away now." The woman thought for a moment and said urgently.
"I can't escape, in order to kill me, the eldest brother and the second brother have wasted a lot of effort this time, and all the masters around me have lost their lives one after another, and now thousands of killers have been sent to search for my traces in many ways, so where can I escape?" The man in brocade smiled bitterly.
As the third prince, he is really embarrassed to fall into such a situation.
He was ordered by his father to lead troops to exterminate the Demon Sect, and according to the plan, the imperial court would unite the world's decency and hold a demon eradication conference three months later to discuss the eradication of the Demon Sect.
He rushed all the way to Qianyun Peak this time, and he just wanted to find out the background of the Demon Sect in advance, but he never thought that he was assassinated, and he knew in his heart that the assassin must be the power of one of the eldest prince and the second prince.
The masters around him lost their lives one after another in order to protect him from escaping, and now, he is alone, although the killers who are chasing him now are only in the realm of martial artists, but he is born unable to cultivate, and Liu Feng's situation is about the same, they are just a waste of firewood.
In the face of the pursuit of heaven and earth, he could not escape with his wings, and only with the help of outsiders could he temporarily get out of trouble.
The woman raised her eyebrows slightly, pondered for a while, and said: "Third prince, why don't we hide in the yamen, let the officers and soldiers protect you, and then let the county order send someone to Luzhou for help, and let the prefect over there send someone to save us, we may be able to escape." ”
Changping County is a county under the jurisdiction of Luzhou, if you ride a fast horse, you can reach it in one day.
"It's useless." The man in brocade shook his head and said: "Just with those wine bags and rice bags from the county government, they are not the opponents of those killers at all, it is too late to ask for help, and I am not sure now, whether the county official is my eldest brother and second brother, if I go to the county government rashly, I am afraid that I will fall into the net." ”
The brocade-clothed man turned his head, looked at her worried eyes, and sighed lightly: "Okay, you send someone to Changfu Inn to ask for an upper room, I will go over at night, only Liu Feng can help me get out of trouble now." ”
"Yes." The woman clenched her fists and bowed.
The man in brocade suddenly sighed with emotion: "Fortunately, I opened a drunken flower building here a few years ago, so that you can secretly collect the news of the Demon Sect, and now there is a place to stay." ”
Zuihualou is just a green building on the surface, but secretly collects intelligence information about the Demon Sect, which is an intelligence organization that he has laid out in Changping County a few years ago.
"Third prince, don't say that, you will be safe and sound in this catastrophe, Xuemei is willing to swear to protect the three princes." The woman stepped out with a resolute expression.
"Alright, let's go back."
……
The three of them wandered until the night, until Liu Feng couldn't walk, and Xiao Baoer agreed to go back to the inn.
When they returned to the inn, it was already early hour, and at this hour, ordinary people had already fallen asleep, and the three of them also went back to their rooms to rest.
Half an hour later, Liu Feng opened the door and glanced at the closed door next door, it was Xiaozhu's room, it was quiet, Xiaozhu should have also slept, Liu Feng took a light step, went downstairs, and walked out of the inn alone.
Half an hour later, a man in brocade walked out of the inn, looked at the back of the willow wind in the distance, and muttered in a low voice: "Where is he going?" ”
Frowning and pondering for a while, he slowly followed.
After the back of the man in brocade walked away, Xiaozhu, dressed in a pale green dress, slowly fell from the eaves, looking at the back that was about to disappear in the distance with an expressionless face, and she followed unhurriedly.
There are few pedestrians on the street at night, and after Liu Feng walked along the market for half an hour, he stopped and looked up: Zuihualou.
The largest green building in Changping County.
