The subordinates' instructions made Lu Yu raise his head.

He looked at his subordinates in the shadows in surprise and asked, "Follow us?" Has our itinerary been discovered? ”

This time, he returned from outside the gate, and theoretically no one should know about it.

He didn't inform anyone, and he didn't even use his true identity when he crossed the level, but used a fake path to get through.

In order not to cause unnecessary trouble.

With his identity, returning from outside the gate, the news spreads, and there will inevitably be many troubles along the way south.

And what Lu Yu hates the most is trouble.

The subordinate's words told him to go to the window and lift the curtains.

The cold wind of the evening poured in, making Lu Yu's eyes narrow slightly, and he coughed a few times uncomfortably.

Only then did he see clearly the people on the official road ahead.

It was a yellow-faced, dusty young man, who looked a year or two older than him. Riding a thin old horse and carrying a shriveled bag, he belongs to the kind of people who are not interested in horse bandits when they see them.

Should it be that the merchant in the Western Regions has lost all his capital?

These days, he had seen this kind of young merchant in the Western Regions, and he was very familiar with such an image.

Lu Yu squinted his eyes for a while, put down the curtain, shook his head and said, "It should be just a passer-by who is in a hurry...... Leave him alone for now. ”

If someone really had discovered his whereabouts, it would have been impossible to send such a down-and-out merchant to follow him.

He was probably greeted by a lively banquet and a lot of flattering smiles.

Lu Yu's voice fell, and the subordinate in the shadow respectfully retired and disappeared silently.

Lu Yu, who returned to the eucalyptus table and sat down, picked up the book he had read before and continued

For the passer-by who happened to be walking with him, he didn't pay attention to it.

For him, who rushed back to the Central Plains from outside the Guanwai, the only itinerary now was to rush to the Tianshu Pavilion in Haiyan City as soon as possible.

Lu Yu doesn't like disputes, and has been hiding outside the Western Regions Pass for the past few years, just to stay away from the disputes in the Central Plains.

But the master was about to return to heaven, and he had to go back to the Central Plains.

Even if he knew that when he came back this time, some unavoidable troubles would follow.

But Lu Yu had no choice.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh.

In the midst of immersive reading, time flies.

When the daylight was shining, Lu Yu was still sitting in the car reading a book, and he didn't go out at all.

It's just that the night lights on the roof of the car are gradually extinguished.

The curtain of the car window was lifted by Lu Yu, and the cold morning breeze blew in.

He stretched and looked out the window.

The mountains outside the window began to become low, which was a sign that they were about to walk out of the Longmen mountains.

After coming out of the Dragon Gate, he stepped into Hejian Mansion.

The mountains of Kama Province are not precipitous, most of them are low hills, and there are waterways crisscrossing them.

Compared with the wild and vicious Longmen mountains, the scenery of Hejian Mansion is much more handsome and gentle.

And Lu Yu looked out the window, but found that the thin old horse was still walking not far from the official road not far in front of the carriage.

The young man who hurried with a shriveled bag on his back was still dusty, but he did not rest.

He rode his horse, as if tirelessly, silently on the official road.

This made Lu Yu a little interested.

Could it be that this down-and-out young businessman also has cultivation in his body?

Being able to travel all night without getting tired, shouldn't your cultivation be too low?

But with cultivation, you can still fail in business?

Tut...... This is a bit of a surprise.

After all, it is quite difficult for a cultivator to lose money.

Lu Yu stood by the window with great interest, looking at the old horse on the official road in front of him.

On the official road in the morning, there is a lot of people, and it is no longer the desolation and emptiness at night.

The man on a thin horse was in the middle of it, unremarkable.

Lu Yu looked at it for a while, but didn't see anything, so he put down the curtain and fell asleep on the soft cot.

This night, I slept until the afternoon.

When he got up, he saw that the washed grapes were already on the table.

Every time Lu Yu wakes up, he likes to eat some fruit.

It's a pity that these grapes brought from the Western Regions are almost finished.

Lu Yu, who was sitting by the window, was eating grapes while watching the scenery outside the window.

The scenery of Hejian Mansion is good, with continuous green mountains and intersecting rivers, which is quite interesting for Lu Yu, who is accustomed to seeing the yellow sand of the desert.

And on the official road ahead, the thin old horse was still not far away from his carriage and kept a subtle distance.

The other party neither stopped to rest, nor rode away.

- Although Lu Yu felt that the thin old horse should not be able to run.

Lu Yu asked curiously, "Steward Ning, hasn't this merchant stopped to rest?" ”

In the shadows, the figure reappeared.

Facing Lu Yu's inquiry, Steward Ning replied respectfully: "Back to the second son, he has been following us without stopping, and he is not tired, he should be a cultivator." ”

Steward Ning's answer made Lu Yu smile.

"What do you mean for him to follow us...... Isn't it true that we have been following him all the time? ”

"People are the ones who walk in front, okay......"

Lu Yu said, thought about it, and seemed to be thinking about something.

Steward Ning immediately asked intimately: "Do you need your subordinates to go down to find out?" ”

It is not a good sign for a practitioner to follow them all the time.

The Nocturnal Division should not be bored with itself, and for many years, the Nocturnal Division has never been involved in the royal family.

So the other party is likely to be a certain disciple of the Three Holy Lands?

The relationship between the three holy places and the imperial court has always been very ambiguous. As Lu Yu, he shouldn't get too close to the three holy places.

Lu Yu thought about it, shook his head and said, "Forget it, don't care about him." ”

"Wherever he is, as long as he doesn't come to provoke us, we won't go to him."

Lu Yu thought so.

That's how it was intended.

This man can't always be ahead of them, can he?

Sure enough, in the middle of the night, the old horse finally stopped.

The other party led the old horse to the side of the road and asked the old horse to drink water and eat grass by the river.

The carriage on the official road slowly drove away, quickly leaving the man behind.

Lu Yu also quickly forgot about the episode in this trip, after all, this was really just an inconsequential passerby.

It wasn't until five days later that the thin old horse reappeared on the official road in front of the carriage.

Because Lu Yu stayed in Yanling Mansion City all night, when he went on the road again, he found that the old horse had caught up and happened to be in front of the carriage.

Looking at the old horse on the road in the dark night, Lu Yu's eyes widened in surprise and couldn't help laughing.

I met ...... again Judging from the footsteps of the other party's old horse, it seems that this person is on the road all night long, almost without resting......

But this person is a cultivator, and he can survive without rest, so what about his horse? Can you survive it too?

Lu Yu was quite curious.

And this curiosity was confirmed the next night.

On the official road ahead, there was a sudden painful whine.

Then the thin old horse, who had been on the road all night and rarely rested, finally howled miserably, could no longer hold on, and fell heavily on the official road.

The convulsions gradually stopped moving.
