Chapter Eighty-Six: Shadow Clan
This thunderstorm lasted for half an hour, and gradually subsided. At this time, many people on the side of the old post station had been awakened by this huge movement, and everyone looked at the terrifying lightning outside the window in disbelief, and when it finally disappeared, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But the heavy rain still didn't stop, I don't know who lit the oil lamp, as if to appease his frightened sister, Cheng Yuxi glanced at the hazy warm yellow light not far away, and then she stretched out her hand and pressed the ring on her hand on the lock of the wooden box, and after a slight turn, the box was opened by her.
There were two pieces of broken jade and a piece of broken jade lying quietly in the box, and after Cheng Yuxi looked at the contents of the box by the faint light, he took out one of the broken jade pieces from the box and put it on the palm of his hand.
This piece of broken jade looks very clear, but it feels a little hot to the touch, it seems that Cheng Yuxi's previous feeling is not an illusion, when countless thunderbolts exploded in the sky, the broken jade in the box in her hand did have some wonderful changes.
But what do these changes mean?
Cheng Yuxi frowned and looked at the broken jade in his hand, and finally put it back in the box, and buckled the box and put it in his personal package.
She stretched out her hand and wrapped herself tightly around the soft blanket, then closed her eyes and listened to the sound of rain outside the window, and before she knew it, she fell into a deep sleep.
Cheng Yuxi is generally not very sleepy when she sleeps outside, so she has already opened her eyes when the sky is just dawning. There was silence in the room, and you could hear someone's low snoring, and the sound of breathing.
She rubbed her eyes, looked up at the window, and saw that the heavy rain outside had stopped, but the temperature was still very low, she was wrapped in a blanket, and she didn't feel very cold, but when she came out of the room, she was shivering with cold.
Mr. Yang got up earlier than Cheng Yuxi, and after he noticed that the rain had stopped, he took some of his men to prepare the things to be loaded later, and checked whether his batch of goods was wet by the rain.
Although it is just an abandoned old post station here, there are many vendors who simply cleaned the stove after waking up, and then made some breakfast with the tools they have at hand and began to sell it there, Cheng Yuxi looked at the busy appearance of the Yang family, fortunately, there was nothing to do, so he went over to help them all buy one.
Mr. Yang looked at the steaming paper bag in his hand, thanked him again and again, and said, "This ...... We should have invited Miss Cheng to dinner, but we didn't expect Miss Cheng to break the bank. ”
Cheng Yuxi came out this time to bring a lot of silver, and Cheng Yuanshan also specially gave her a few money deeds, and she could withdraw money from the money in the money banks in major towns, so there was no pressure on her for more than a dozen breakfasts.
"It's okay, Mr. Yang is willing to give me a ride, and the little woman is already very grateful." Cheng Yuxi said calmly.
Mr. Yang smiled, and then was called over by the guy over there, Cheng Yuxi asked him to do his own thing, leave her alone, and then wandered back and forth around this old post station a few times.
At this time, the sun had slowly come out, looking at the hazy light in the distance, Cheng Yuxi finally breathed a sigh of relief: it seems that there will be no more heavy rainstorms like yesterday in a short period of time.
After Cheng Yuxi spared another circle and picked a few flowers and came back, Mr. Yang's convoy was also ready and about to set off.
So the Yang family's convoy was quickly repaired, and the people from yesterday continued to walk in the direction of Pengcheng.
After all, it had been raining heavily, and some official roads were not very easy to walk, and occasionally there would be carriages stuck in them, so everyone had to come over to help and push the carriage out.
Therefore, the distance that could be reached in one or two hours was stumbling for three hours, and by the time Cheng Yuxi finally saw the gate of Pengcheng, the sunset on the horizon had been rendered into a very beautiful color.
Pengcheng is also a relatively prosperous place, and after Mr. Yang and his convoy stopped at the door of an inn in Pengcheng, he came over and asked, "Miss Cheng, we have arrived in Pengcheng, what are you going to do next?" ”
Cheng Yuxi thought for a while, and did not hide his destination, but said very politely: "I plan to stay in Pengcheng for a few days, and then find a convoy that can take a ride to Qiandao City." ”
Mr. Yang never expected that Cheng Yuxi's target turned out to be Qiandao Lake, a look of surprise appeared on his face, and then he frowned, and said embarrassedly: "Miss Cheng is actually going to Qiandao City alone?" This courage is really admirable, but ......"
Cheng Yuxi could hear what Mr. Yang was saying, so he asked, "But what?" ”
"But over there in Thousand Island City, I heard that it seems to be very chaotic recently, and there are probably several forces fighting each other." Mr. Yang looked at Cheng Yuxi's petite figure, and still tried his best to persuade him: "If Miss Cheng wants to travel in all directions, you might as well go to Chiba City north of Pengcheng, where the security has always been very good." ”
Chiba City is the territory of the Tang family, Cheng Yuxi didn't really want to go over, she said: "I see, thank you Mr. Yang for your proposal, but please don't underestimate me, although I am just a woman, but I am not weak, please rest assured Mr. Yang." ”
Seeing that Cheng Yuxi was so persistent, Mr. Yang didn't want to persuade him anymore, but asked, "Then Miss Cheng wants to live with us these days?" We have already chartered this inn, there are still some vacant rooms here, and Miss Cheng can just stay in. ”
"Thank you, Mr. Yang, over there." Cheng Yuxi was too lazy to find the inn by himself, and after hearing Mr. Yang's invitation, he agreed without hesitation.
So, Cheng Yuxi followed Mr. Yang to his room.
Although this room is not top-notch, it is still very clean and tidy, and Cheng Yuxi is not a picky person, so he stayed.
After she simply packed up her things, she planned to go to the hall of the inn to eat something, but just as she was walking down the railing, she suddenly heard a curse not far away: "What are you!" Hurry here to refute my face! ”
Cheng Yuxi raised his eyebrows and thought, "Could it be that someone is making trouble?" ”
She quickened her pace and went downstairs, and sure enough, the hall of the inn was already in a mess, and the table in the corner was even more completely blown away, and the soup and water were spilled on the ground, looking extremely embarrassed.
And next to the soup and water, there stood a woman with an aggrieved face, she was wearing a pale blue robe, pinching her purse, and said almost helplessly: "I don't!" ”
Opposite this woman stood a man in a luxurious brocade, he smiled coldly, and then said: "It's just that you were asked to come over here and have a drink with me, but you directly sprinkled me with wine!" Dare you say no! ”
The woman bit her lip, then looked up and said, "You were the one who insulted me first!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the onlookers were in an uproar, and everyone's eyes looked at the woman standing there a little ambiguously, full of banter.
Cheng Yuxi frowned, and just wanted to go down the stairs to stop this.
It's not that she's meddling, it's just that what happened to this woman is too miserable, if no one helps her solve this matter now, I'm afraid the rest of her life will be ruined.
Just when Cheng Yuxi was about to go down, the person at the table who had been eating quietly next to him suddenly stood up with a tall man, he stretched out his hand and directly pressed the man's shoulder, pressing him on the table at once!
Everyone was stunned, not expecting anyone to suddenly attack.
At this time, among the people at the table next to her, a young girl who looked young finished eating the last wonton in her bowl, then wiped the corners of her mouth, and said coldly: "This world is really different, anyone can stop the street and bark." ”
The man who was held down heard the meaning of the little girl's words, his face turned red, and he desperately wanted to resist, but he was pressed hard by the man.
"Shadow, don't be so strong, if you unload his arms, collarbones, or something, then this person will be useless." The little girl was dressed in black, and when she had finished eating, she took a pure black veil from the person next to her and put it on her face.
Cheng Yuxi looked at the black veil, and the few people next to her who were also wearing black clothes, and froze for a moment, and then, the whole person was shocked.
This black veil ......
It's ShadowClan!
In the last three days, there were many families, and these big families formed their own factions and restrained each other, including the Shadow Clan!
This is a very mysterious family, no one knows what their head looks like, but it is said that every child with the blood of the Shadow Clan will have a shadow of his own from birth, and this "shadow" will eat and live with him, like a shadow.
It seems that this cute little girl is a member of the Shadow Clan.
Cheng Yuxi's face was ugly, she didn't want to have anything to do with these people, after seeing that the woman had been able to get out of danger, Cheng Yuxi turned around and went up the stairs directly, and planned to stay here for one night, and leave immediately tomorrow!
