The precarious boat on the flood could not promise anything other than reaching out and pulling a drowning man.

Lu Xuan was the same, he did not respond to Lu Zhaozhao's emotion.

According to the previous practice, even if they entered the city and stayed in the inn, the three of them still had the habit of keeping vigil.

But today, out of all kinds of strange signs in Suicheng, Lu Xuan did not let Ah Lai and Lu Zhaozhao keep vigil, but planned to wait for the dawn alone, wait for the dawn, and after leaving with the caravan, he would make up for sleep in the carriage.

After tying a brass bell to the deadbolt, Alai sat down on the bench and fell asleep.

Lu Zhaozhao simply repaired the mask that was damaged in the battle before, and then used a carving knife to make some patterns on it, so that Lu Xuan could wear it, and the overall look was not so terrible, and then he went back to bed to rest

The presence of a mask is still necessary.

Although the traces of the fire on his face have completely receded, in that villa, in order to avoid being recognized by the people of the national teacher, Lu Xuan chose to insert an iron nail into his face to change his appearance.

Since then, he has blocked his breath, and there is a certain chance of avoiding the people of the True Spirit Sect, but at the same time, it has also brought some trouble.

For example, in some towns, the peculiar face will naturally attract the attention of the local people, and the mask is very clever to avoid this, even if it is not a coincidence, forget to bring it, or break the mask, he is not afraid of being seen by the people of the True Spirit Sect.

If the breath and face were changed, the people of the True Spirit Sect still recognized themselves.

That may be the kind of catastrophe that really happened in life, and you can't hide from it.

Thinking of this, Lu Xuan sighed slightly.

Speaking of which, along the way, he heard a lot of local people's praise for the national teacher, and judging from the prosperity of Suicheng and other border towns, this national teacher seems to care more about the living conditions of the people than the cultivators he met along the way.

But such a person, why would he arrange for someone to wait for him on the way in advance?

And why does it know it exists?

What kind of conspiracy are you involved in?

Lu Xuan stood on the windowsill, looking at the brightly lit Suicheng outside, his expression was a little dazed, he had not seen such a prosperous scene for a long time, the steel buildings in his memory had become a little blurred, and the only thing he could remember now was the faces of his family.

Thoughts, fears, restlessness.

All kinds of emotions filled his chest, making him feel a little difficult to breathe.

The younger sister sat on the windowsill with a brown teddy bear in her arms, looking at the scenery outside like him, and after a long time, she said a sentence that should not have come from her mouth: "What a beautiful ....."

.......

The sky soon brightened, and the bright red morning sun shrouded the whole world on the edge of the sky.

Lu Xuan saw that there were many hangover men on the street, staggering down the street, and some even fell asleep, and at this time, a group of soldiers in armor appeared, and they took these people away as if they were carrying chicks.

Some vendors who went into the city to sell vegetables, or the owners of early shops that opened early, were not surprised when they saw this scene, they seemed to be commonplace, but they each lit a long incense stick in front of them, which seemed to be an immortal incense for the national teacher.

If there is a problem with the musk smell in the air, then judging from the situation of Ah Lai last night, the antidote is undoubtedly the green smoke coming from this long incense.

Could it be that in Suicheng, there are national teachers who are inconvenient to offend?

Is it just protecting the people of Suicheng in this way?

Lu Xuan's eyes were shining, even if he hadn't slept all night, with the physical fitness of a cultivator, he didn't feel any tiredness now.

Forget it, in short, I'm about to leave Suicheng.

What is hidden here is not something you can control.

Thinking of this, Lu Xuan was ready to go downstairs, because he had just seen Shopkeeper Li walking back from the side of the street towards the inn, compared to those evil ghosts who were nostalgic for the fireworks place, he was in good spirits, as if he had really made up for it.

Lu Xuan had just walked downstairs, but suddenly heard the noise of idle men in the backyard downstairs:

"Did you go looking for a place to sleep last night?"

"No, how much silver is it for a businessman, and the cheapest night in Suicheng will cost one hundred and eighty taels."

"Who said no, although this Suicheng is as rich as a cloud, it is someone else's wealth, and it has nothing to do with our group of poor people."

"Hehe, don't worry, you still remember the person who followed us, the shopkeeper took the man out to explore the details last night, and he will be back later, if he can do a stroke halfway, let's ....."

"Don't make a noise, don't make a noise."

Their voices were not loud, but Lu Xuan's perception ability had long exceeded the comprehension of ordinary people, and he felt that the voices of those people were somewhat familiar.

He hid behind the door and glanced out into the backyard.

What I saw was the group of merchants under the shopkeeper Li, sitting on the stone bench in the backyard drinking gruel, talking in a low voice, completely unaware that their conversation was heard clearly by Lu Xuan.

No wonder the man surnamed Li was kind enough to ask him to go out and sell things with him last night.

Lu Xuan was not surprised in his heart, with the experience of the Yang family's father and son, he had already learned and no longer trusted anyone, so he was always on guard against this caravan.

The merchants who were drinking gruel suddenly saw the shopkeeper Li walking back from outside the inn, and hurriedly greeted him with a smile:

"Shopkeeper, last night was very strong?"

"Hmph, you mud leg, why do you ask so much?" Shopkeeper Li glanced at the man and sat down on the stone bench that everyone had made way for him.

The rest of the people glanced at each other, and there was a man who was close to Shopkeeper Li, and he made a bowl of thick porridge and brought it to Shopkeeper Li: "Shopkeeper, why didn't that kid come back with you, didn't he pay the money, so he kept it on his back?" ”

Shopkeeper Li took a sip of rice porridge, felt a little warm in his body, glanced around the backyard again, and saw that it was all his own people, so he sneered: "Last night, there were a few talkers, and I told him about the delicate boat, and it was estimated that he didn't have so much money, and I didn't find him on the boat." ”

Hearing this, the disappointment in everyone's eyes was palpable.

Immediately, someone shook his wit: "We charge them at the normal price, which is not much." ”

The rest hurriedly chimed in: "Yes, yes, indeed." ”

"Oh?" Shopkeeper Li put down the gruel and asked with a smile, "What are your ways to make money?" ”

"Ahem." The man scratched the back of his head and lowered his voice: "According to our opinion, although the woman who followed us is full of white hair and a little sick, isn't it good to have officials in this Suicheng?" Let's get something for their meals in the evening, this ..... Aren't you at our mercy? ”

"Hehe, you kid has a good idea."

But the next moment, Shopkeeper Li's words changed, and he suddenly poured the hot porridge on the table on the man's face: "If you kid wants to kill himself, don't take Lao Tzu with you." ”

Shopkeeper Li's movements were not fast, but the man didn't dare to hide at all, or even wipe the hot porridge on his face, but quickly knelt on the ground and claimed that he was guilty.

Shopkeeper Li looked at the other merchants who were looking at each other, and said coldly: "Can't you see that this group of people is not our Dajin natives at all, and there are poor countries adjacent to our north, and you think they will be idle people who can come out of that place?" Lao Tzu originally thought last night that if he had money, we would take the risk of doing him a vote, if he had no money, just let the people on the Linglong boat abolish him, and then let us concoct it, but now he has no money, and he has not tried to find out the details, for a woman, he will provoke a Taoist priest, you are tired of being crooked, aren't you? ”

"Yes, yes." Where did these businessmen dare to refute, and said nonsense: "Shopkeeper Li is right, the gains of this transaction outweigh the losses, and the gains outweigh the losses." ”

"He Er, you, you just want money and want to go crazy."

"Sending them all the way can be regarded as doing good deeds and accumulating virtue."

Listening to the words echoed by the merchants, Shopkeeper Li tidied up his clothes and sighed: "Whether our caravan is in troubled times or in the current peaceful and prosperous times, why can it prosper for a long time?" Why is it possible to make this deal all the time? If it is not something that is more than eighty percent sure, then even if it is a loss, what can it be. ”

Shopkeeper Li's remarks once again made these merchants who begged for a living under his hands even claim to be true, and they did not dare to have the slightest disobedience.

It was at this time that Lu Xuan, who had been hiding in the shadows, walked into the backyard from the door, and before he could get to the front, he shouted loudly: "Shopkeeper Li, when will we leave?" ”

Everyone who was discussing things suddenly heard Lu Xuan's voice, their expressions changed slightly, and they quickly regained their calm, and Shopkeeper Li got up even more, with that signature smile on his face: "Oh, little brother, why did you get up so early?" “

"I just went downstairs, isn't that hungry?" Lu Xuan glanced at the merchant with rice porridge on his face, and pretended to be surprised: "How is this brother...."

"Harm, my subordinates are not sensible, so that the little brother can laugh." Shopkeeper Li glanced at the man viciously, and smiled slightly apologetically at Lu Xuan: "I'm afraid we still can't leave Suicheng today." ”

"Why is that?" Lu Xuan frowned slightly.

Shopkeeper Li explained: "Little brother, our merchants are doing this set of trading, since we came to Suicheng, we naturally want to buy some things to sell back, last night was just to buy some things for use on the road, and so on today to sell all the things, we will leave Suicheng tomorrow, just the little brother can also take your younger brothers and sisters to visit Suicheng." ”

"That's fine." Lu Xuan nodded: "Then I'll go back first and then make up for it." ”

Looking at Lu Xuan's departing back, Shopkeeper Li's face became more and more fierce, and what he didn't know was that Lu Xuan was the same.
