Chapter 167 Tracking
Hearing Gan Xiaoyu's reminder, Murong Feiyan did not hesitate to tear off a piece of earthy yellow cloth around his body, followed Gan Xiaoyu and jumped into the deep ditch next to the official road. Then he very neatly covered his body with a piece of cloth. He pulled a handful of dry weeds and placed them on the edge of the cloth where his eyes were exposed.
Gan Xiaoyu next to him was also doing the same thing very neatly, and the two of them looked fast and skillful, as if this move had been practiced tens of thousands of times. However, the effect is also very significant, just in the blink of an eye, the original two pretty girls naturally blended into the surrounding environment. It's hard to spot without looking closely.
"Xiaoyu, where have they been?" Murong Feiyan held her breath and listened quietly for a while, and found that she really didn't have this kind of talent, so she had to ask Gan Xiaoyu next to her.
"We are still about a mile and a half away, and there are about fifty of them, all on horseback. At this time, Gan Xiaoyu's face could no longer see the coquettish and cheerful appearance just now, but said with a solemn face.
"Don't worry too much, this is on the official road, and it's normal for cavalry to pass by!" Murong Feiyan saw that Gan Xiaoyu was a little nervous, so he opened his mouth to comfort.
The reason why she was able to subconsciously make corresponding actions after Gan Xiaoyu's reminder was entirely because although Gan Xiaoyu had ordinary qualifications in cultivation, she was born with this talent for Shunfeng Ear. At a very young age, he was able to hear footsteps outside without anyone else knowing. At first, everyone didn't care about it, but as this situation appeared more and more frequently, everyone understood that it was her natural talent. This discovery made her father Gan Kangping overjoyed, and even in the fugitive life of the Sun Moon Sect being surrounded and suppressed by the army, he also relied on this advantage to save everyone's lives many times.
Therefore, for the surviving people of the Sun and Moon Sect, Gan Xiaoyu is not only Gan Kangping's orphan, but also an indispensable partner when everyone fights or flees.
As the two were silent, the herd of horses galloping from a distance got closer and closer, and a group of cavalrymen dressed in armor and led by Shan Tianyuan galloped wildly.
Murong Feiyan took a look at it and roughly estimated that there were indeed about fifty people on the other side. When the horse team leaped past the two of them, Murong Feiyan suddenly discovered that the general leading the team in front of him actually knew him. His head was hot and he almost roared, "Jade-faced fox Shan Tianyuan?"
But reason still prevailed, and she didn't jump out rashly, but just stared at it, watching the other party's horse team leave and go away......
When the horse team could no longer see the shadow, she and Gan Xiaoyu got up and got up from the deep ditch. When the two of them stood on the official road again, the horse team in front of them had lost their sights.
"There is nowhere to find when you step on the iron shoes, I didn't expect to meet the enemy here today, Xiaoyu, our chance to avenge our relatives has come!" Murong Feiyan said with red eyes staring at the end of the official road.
Of course, Gan Xiaoyu knew the enemy Murong Feiyan said, Shan Tianyuan was not only one of the enemies who killed the two fathers, but even led a large army to attack the Sun Moon Sect at one time, and killed one of the culprits of many Sun Moon Sect people. The hatred between the two and Shan Tianyuan can be said to be incompatible.
"Miss, let's catch up, and then find a chance to kill this bastard!" Gan Xiaoyu also said with a look of indignation.
"Okay, it seems that they are also going to Baining City, you pay attention to the movement, we will follow them from afar. Regarding Gan Xiaoyu's suggestion, Murong Feiyan happily agreed.
In this way, the two of them could no longer care about hunger and thirst, but began to speed forward to catch up. With Gan Xiaoyu's talent for a smooth ear, in less than a stick of incense, the two vaguely saw the traces of the horse team.
"Don't get too close, hang them from a distance like this, if you rush up directly now, you will inevitably startle the snake!" Murong Feiyan saw that he had found the other party, so he was no longer in a hurry, but reminded Gan Xiaoyu and said.
"Although there are many of them, they are not necessarily our opponents, right?" asked Gan Xiaoyu puzzled.
"Silly girl, don't you see that you can already see the city wall of Baining City in front of you? If we rush over now, we will definitely not kill fifty cavalry in a short period of time, and it is so close to Baining City, once we make a move, we will definitely be discovered by the patrol soldiers at the head of the city, then it will be difficult for us to escape. ”
After listening to Murong Feiyan's suggestion, Gan Xiaoyu also realized the problem, so he also slowed down and followed the horse team in front of him from a distance. It wasn't until they reached a small river outside Baining City that the two of them took turns filling the kettle by the river, and then hurried into Baining City.
Baining City is a small town in the Mengyue Empire closest to the north of the border. Although it is not far from Nanguang City, because the location is exactly in the triangle of the Julan River and the Guishui River, the population in Baining City is not only large, but also the environment is much better than that of Nanguang City, which is full of yellow sand.
The two of them mingled in the crowd, and in order to avoid being recognized or discovered by Shan Tianyuan, Murong Feiyan and Gan Xiaoyu even deliberately did not follow the same path as the horse team.
After walking for a while, Gan Xiaoyu stopped, "Miss, they stopped." Gan Xiaoyu pointed in a direction to Murong Feiyan very covertly and said in a low voice.
"Let's go, take a look, try to be careful. ”
On the corner of another street, a few big characters of "Tongfu Inn" are held high. Shan Tianyuan turned over and dismounted, and directly threw the reins in his hand to the shopkeeper who was chasing after him, "Let the wine and food be prepared inside, we will live here tonight, remember to serve these horses, but if there is a little problem, I will skin you!"
"Okay, Master Jun, you can rest assured, the little one will definitely serve these horses comfortably! The distinguished guest will come to the door, and the people inside will serve you!" Xiao Er shouted at the people in the room after answering Shan Tianyuan with a smile on his face.
Murong Feiyan and Gan Xiaoyu walked around for a while, and after seeing that all the cavalry had entered the Tongfu Inn, they came to the door of the inn, and the shopkeeper was busy serving the horses, and he didn't notice the two.
"Xiao Er, are there so many horses, are there a lot of people staying in the hotel today?" Murong Feiyan asked in an old-fashioned tone.
"Hey, the girl is also here to stay in the hotel? I really let you tell me, no, a group of military masters who just came here are going to stay in the hotel tonight, but there is still a room, why don't you book one?" Xiao Er saw that the business came to the door, and hurriedly asked.
"So many stinky men, forget it, let's go, go to other inns and have a look!" Murong Feiyan didn't pay attention to Xiao Er, who looked enthusiastic, and walked away with Gan Xiaoyu with a gloomy face.
Xiao Er didn't care about Murong Feiyan's coldness, after all, what he did every day was the work of receiving people, and he had seen a lot of such things. But what he didn't expect was that when the two cold-faced girls just turned the corner, they both breathed a sigh of relief.
Murong Feiyan stroked his chest, "Now it's certain that these people are staying here tonight, so we'll have to figure out another way at night." ”
"Well, that's all there is to it, but Miss, when will we be able to eat something? we haven't eaten for a day!" Gan Xiaoyu looked at Murong Feiyan and asked pitifully.
"We don't have enough money?" Murong Feiyan was a little embarrassed, she dug into her pocket for a long time, but only found three pennies. I put it in my hand and checked it, looking worried.
"Miss, why are you like this? If you continue like this, I don't know if we can get to Hall Master Zhao's side, but I know that we will definitely starve to death on the road. If you can't do it, I'll do it. Anyway, we don't take much, and besides, finding some rich people to rob the rich and help the poor is also a good thing to do justice for heaven!" Gan Xiaoyu couldn't help but protest angrily when he saw that Murong Feiyan only had three cents on him, and he couldn't even buy one or two white flour cakes. In her opinion, as long as you don't have money, you should go to the rich and get it?
What? I don't know how to let me take it?
What I'm talking about is taking it without him knowing! If you really can't just beat him up, won't it become a good idea? In any case, you can't let two women who are still very good at martial arts starve to death on the streets, right?
