17 The one who was chased
As soon as the black pig heard this, it was as happy as a criminal hearing the pardon, it turned around, looked at Jielan, looked at Jielan with an incredulous gaze, and said, "Really? ”
Jielan smiled slightly and said, "Can't I still lie to you?" Quickly change my clothes, pack up my salute, and when I meet I'll bid farewell to the City Lord of Jinxuan, and then we're about to set off. ”

Jielan smiled slightly and said, "Can't I still lie to you?" Quickly change my clothes, pack up my salute, and when I meet I'll bid farewell to the City Lord of Jinxuan, and then we're about to set off. ”
The black pig nodded hurriedly, went into the house to pack the package, after he cleaned up, he also wrapped his head in a turban, so as not to be too eye-catching after going out, after it was dressed, he followed Jielan to the imperial study. The Black Pig Marquis was outside the imperial study, while Jielan went in alone to see the city lord of Jin Xuan.
After Jielan told the city lord of Jin Xuan what she meant, the city lord of Jin Xuan did not stay, and felt that it was expected for Jielan to go to Heimu County, so she directly asked Kou Ying to send Jielan out of the court, before leaving, she was still worried that Jielan and the black pig would have an accident when they arrived in Heimu County, so she asked Tianling to follow them to protect them, Tianling originally wanted to leave the city, this time she had the opportunity to leave, so she naturally did not refuse, so she went out of the city court with Jielan and them.
And Jin Xuan was reluctant to Tianling from the bottom of her heart, but for the sake of the long-term plan of the two, she had to do it even if she was reluctant.
....................
Because Heimu County is located in the east of the Blood Ying Country, thousands of miles away from Jinzhao City, so after Jielan and the black pig left Jinzhao City, they planned to fly to Heimu County with their mounts, but Jielan's white sable was brought back by Bai Bing, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, so she could only take the ugly gray eagle of the black pig, but although it flew slowly, it was also in line with Jielan's wishes, because the white sable was a representative of Jielan's riding beast, and it was easy to attract attention if she rode it, but the gray eagle of the black pig was no more ordinary, and it would not be so easy to expose their identity.
The two of them traveled for about two days, the road was very peaceful, and nothing happened, the two of them arrived in the territory of Heimu County in the evening, Jielan saw that the sky was a little dark, as if it was going to rain, she didn't want to rush away, after all, the black pig was injured, if it rained again, his injury would definitely recur, so she pressed the cloud head, and planned to go to the market town not far from the front to find a place to rest first.
The two entered this place called 'Xiangman Town', as soon as they entered the town, they smelled a strong fragrance of flowers, it turned out that this market town was rich in all kinds of flowers, especially mandala flowers, and it was autumn at this time, it was the most gorgeous time for mandala flowers, and the street was full of flower farmers selling flowers, looking at a bouquet of flowers dangling in front of her, Jielan had a feeling of being in a fantasy world, this comfortable and plain scene did not feel the yin of this Heimu County at all, but felt that this Heimu County seemed to be the people of peace and happiness.
However, everything can't just look at the surface, I remember that when I was in Qing Zhou City, the initial feeling of those beautiful mountains and rivers gave them the same way, but it was only later that I felt that Qing Zhou City was outside of gold and jade, and it was ruined.
Jielan found a very inconspicuous inn in an alleyway to settle down, because she was worried that going to the inn on the main street would be eye-catching, so she acted carefully.
As soon as she sat down, Jielan looked around first, and saw that there was no one else in this small stack at the moment except for a man wearing a black hat sitting in the back, and although the man covered his face with the brim of his hat, judging from the clothes he was wearing, he must be the son of a rich family, because his shirt was made of fine snow forging, and ordinary people would not be able to afford this fine fabric. Jielan felt that this person should be just a local, so she didn't pay much attention, so she asked the bartender here to bring some wine and food, because of the lack of business, two dishes and one soup came up in less than a quarter of an hour, and when she was about to eat, five people suddenly walked in from outside the door.
The five people were all dressed in black, carrying swords in their hands, their expressions were solemn, their faces were murderous, and they were obviously not ordinary people. As soon as the five people entered, they looked around, and finally their eyes fell on Jielan's body, and they slowly walked towards her, as if to confirm her identity.
Jielan's heart suddenly 'chuckled', and she knew that the situation was not good, she guessed that these five people must be the gang of men in black who intercepted and killed her in the first place, so did they follow her here, just to kill her again?
Jielan had a premonition that the situation was not good, so she immediately pulled up the black pig on the side and said, "Long Yi, go quickly!" ”
The black pig also felt the strangeness of the five people, so he followed Jielan and wanted to escape out of the door, but the door was guarded by their people, and there was no way to escape, Jielan couldn't care about her identity, she was next to a wooden window, she elbowed together, and broke the wooden window hard, and then pulled the black pig out of the window, escaped to the street, and fled in a hurry.
The four behind the five black-clothed men saw these two people fleeing in such a panic, and felt that it was the person they were looking for, but the one who took the lead raised his hand and signaled them not to chase, but the middle-aged man who took the lead stopped his eyes on the man who was drinking in the innermost place, and the leader walked towards him slowly, then stopped by his side, bowed and saluted, and said, "Young master, please go back with us, don't embarrass us." ”
The man who was drinking just smiled coldly, but there was sadness in his laughter, "Come with you?" Where to? ”
"Naturally, you should go back to the city court, otherwise the lord will definitely worry about you, so please go back with us immediately." The leader's tone was hard and cold, and even in the face of this young master who was higher than himself, he used a commanding tone.
"It seems that now I even have to listen to your words, it's ridiculous, what kind of young master am I, go back and tell your lord, I really won't go back this time, you go and tell him again, I'm going to the royal city, if he can stop me, if he can't stop it, take my body back!" The man's tone was even more rigid, but there was an indelible pain in those bright eyes.
The leader didn't expect the young master to say such a thing to him, but he didn't take it to heart, but snorted and said, "Then I can't tolerate you, young master." "He reached out with his left hand, and he was about to grab the man's arm, and the man's eyes were cold, and with his right hand, three silver needles were thrown at the palms of the leader's hands, and the two were so close to each other, how could the leader dodge, and he was immediately heard." Ahh
And when the leader couldn't move, the man in black hurriedly jumped out of his position, ready to escape, but the other four people happened to be at the door, he couldn't escape if he wanted to, thinking that the two people jumped out of the window just now, although it was a loss of identity to do so, but he didn't care about it, and he also jumped out of the window.
The leader wanted to chase after him, and his whole body was numb, and now he was squatting on the ground, unable to move, let alone chasing. He had no choice but to order a few of his subordinates behind him: "If you don't chase after you quickly, you have lost the young master, and I want your life." ”
Those people responded a few times in panic, and then hurriedly ran out of the stack and chased in the direction where the young master had fled.
And after Jielan and the black pig ran out, the two ran for a while, and they didn't see anyone chasing behind them, so they breathed a sigh of relief, Jielan felt strange, as usual, after she and the black pig escaped together, these people should immediately chase them out, but no one chased them, aren't these four people the man in black who killed him. Jielan thought about it, but wondered if it was better to avoid it or not.
The two of them walked slowly, but the black pig was still very worried, and said: "Blue, I think we should go on the road earlier, stay here, I'm afraid something will happen." ”
Jielan shook her head and said, "Don't worry, no matter who those people are, whether they are coming for us or not, but since we have come to this Heimu County, I am afraid that we will not be able to hide if we want to, so we can only act at the opportunity." ”
While the two were talking, they suddenly heard a voice from behind: "Stop! Jielan and the black pig immediately looked behind them, but saw that the four black-clothed people behind them chased after them again, Jielan was still wondering why these people didn't chase after them just now, but she didn't expect to really chase them so soon, it seems that they were really coming at her, she hurriedly pulled the black pig again, and ran desperately forward, secretly using spiritual power while running, in case of fighting with these people.
But because the black pig had a wound on its back, as soon as it ran violently, its wound opened again, and suddenly blood stained its back red, so it ran slower and slower, but it still kept running. Jielan also sensed the situation of the black pig, she stopped and said, "Long Yi, what's wrong?" When she saw that Long Yi's right front foot was oozing with blood, she was immediately shocked, "You're like this, why don't you say something." ”
The black pig didn't care about his injuries at this time, he looked back, but saw that the group of people was about to catch up, and hurriedly said: "Don't get in the way, let's run away." ”
Jielan looked at a narrow alleyway on the side, and hurriedly pulled the black pig to the alleyway mouth, the two of them arrived in the alleyway, Jielan was afraid that Long Yi would be too conspicuous to avoid these black-clothed people, she saw that there was a bucket in the alleyway, she hurriedly pulled the black pig into the bucket, and then closed the lid, the black pig knew that she wanted to protect herself, so she wanted to come out, but Jielan pressed the lid of the bucket and said, "Long Yi, don't talk anymore, stay quietly inside, you know?" I'll be fine, don't worry! Hearing Jielan's commanding words, the black pig quieted down and didn't struggle anymore to come up.
