Chapter 58: Concealment
On the way to the provincial capital, Yuan Feng first asked Shen Jiumei: "Have you ever been to the provincial capital before?"
"Been there once. The latter told the truth, "Knowing that Qiu Bao was learning art in the Hongyun Martial Arts Pavilion, after collecting grain and grass, I went to the provincial capital alone under the pretext of observing the movements in Beihou's mansion." ”
As the saying goes, the general will be outside, and the king's order will not be affected. At that time, although she was a saint, she carried out military affairs, not the tasks of the Holy Virgin's Church. In addition, including the back and forth, she only made a total of two days and two nights of travel planning, so, at her strong request, the private soldiers did not accompany her.
After arriving in the provincial capital, she directly inquired about the location of the Hongyun Martial Arts Hall. As a result, she inadvertently learned that Beihou Mansion and Hongyun Martial Arts Hall were actually in the same urban area. In this way, she was able to act cheaper, saving half a day of free time than originally planned. She sat quietly for a long time on the hill opposite Qiu Bao's Medicine Valley. For her at that time, this was a rare and truly her own little half day. In the following years, every time she couldn't hold it anymore, she had the idea of giving up in her heart, and she relied on reminiscing about this small half day to slowly regain her fighting spirit.
At that time, she didn't dare to hope that she would be free again one day. She was thankful that she was able to completely get rid of the "righteous father" and get rid of the Holy Maiden Church......
Now that I think about it, fortunately, I never gave up on myself in those darkest days, no matter how difficult it was, I adhered to the principle of being a man and gritted my teeth to survive.
Of course, even more fortunately, at that time, she met Brother Feng.
Seeing the people around her, Shen Jiumei let out a long breath of turbidity and became interested: "Brother Feng, I heard from Mother Qi that the drama in the provincial city is very good." I've never seen it before. "Two days ago, when Qi's mother was chatting, she inadvertently talked about going to the provincial capital with Qi Bo last year. Among them, it was mentioned that Qi Bo took her to the opera garden to listen to the play. The speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart. She was very envious at the time, thinking to herself, she didn't know when she and Brother Feng would be able to have such a casual relationship. I didn't expect the opportunity to come so soon.
Yuan Feng responded heartily: "Okay." The opera gardens in the provincial capital are all in the east of Beicheng District. I remember that in the past, the matinee in the theater garden never started at the end of the day. We bought all the spices and went to the theater again, and we had plenty of time. I just don't know if the rules have changed after so many years. "After so many years of acquaintance, my wife proposed to listen to the play for the first time. That has to be satisfied.
Shen Jiumei smiled: "Even if it has changed, we will not pass it at the end of time." No matter what the performance is, we just listen to it. ”
Yuan Feng smiled: "You can also call it a listening opera?"
"How can I listen to a play? I just want to taste the taste of a play. Shen Jiumei responded truthfully. To be more precise, she just wanted to go to the opera garden with Brother Feng. As for what kind of drama you are listening to, which drama garden is it in, which drama troupe, and what content...... None of this matters.
Yuan Feng was slightly stunned, but quickly understood, and held her hand and couldn't help but tighten it in distress: "Okay." ”
When they arrived in the provincial capital, the two first lowered their flying swords on a secluded hill outside the city. Looking down at the whole city condescendingly, Shen Jiumei exclaimed: "Am I mistaken? I always feel that the provincial city is not as lively as the last time." That's a polite way to put it. The fact is that she looked at the provincial city more vicissitudes than the last time. The streets and houses are still the same as before, but they are even more old, giving people a gray feeling. The shops on both sides are still open, but there are few people at the door to solicit business. There are also almost half fewer pedestrians on the streets.
Yuan Feng naturally saw it. He pursed his lips and said, "It seems that over the years, everywhere for a year, the life of ordinary people is getting more and more difficult. ”
He used to be full of expectations for Xianmen. Otherwise, he would not have scattered his wealth, led his subordinates to smuggle into the Immortal Mountain, and then joined the Giant Sword Sect. However, over the years, after seeing more and more of what Xianmen had done, he became more and more disappointed in Xianmen, until he thought that Xianmen and Xianting were only fifty steps and a hundred steps apart, and he was not hopeful at all. But in my heart, I still hope that after Xianmen wins the mortal realm, because of the difference of fifty steps, it can treat the people a little kindly, so that everyone will have a little better time. As a result, when he came back this time, he found that this had become his extravagant hope. changed the immortal gate, for the common people, it was completely a change of soup and not a change of medicine. What's more, because there are two Xianmen councils in various places, there are more taxes to be paid. Whether it is a shop or an ordinary person, life is getting more and more difficult.
At this moment, there was a commotion at the bottom of the mountain. A group of people carried a sedan chair up the mountain. The sedan chair is much simpler than the ordinary sedan chair, that is, a bamboo reclining chair is installed on two sliding poles. Today's sun is strong, and a small oilcloth umbrella is set up on the sedan chair. Therefore, the two of them could see at a glance that the person sitting on the sedan chair was a young male cultivator in the late stage of the Qi Refining Realm, and the face of this guy was also unobstructed. Judging from the clothing, this person should be a small steward in the provincial city of Xianmen.
Of the remaining five people accompanying him, two were men carrying sedan chairs, two were dressed as attendants, and one was leading the way. The last three are all mortal warriors. The highest realm is the one who leads the way, a high-level martial artist. Both followers are intermediate martial artists.
"Let's go, let's fight this way down the mountain. Yuan Feng felt disgusted, and at the same time, he didn't want to make trouble, so he pulled Shen Jiumei down the mountain from the other side.
It is full of steep cliffs and dense forests, and there is no ready-made way down the mountain. However, in terms of their cultivation, if they want to go down the mountain, why do they need a road?
Before the noise reached the halfway point of the mountain, the two of them had not only reached the bottom of the mountain, but also turned to this side.
Looking up at the guy halfway up the mountain, Yuan Feng took Shen Jiumei's hand and walked towards the official road without looking back.
"Brother Feng, I think they seem to have gone up the mountain to find us. Shen Jiumei reminded in a low voice as she followed. What's on the mountain? There's nothing. What could make this little steward walk to the top of the mountain herself? After many years of rebel career, and the subsequent experience of being chased by the immortal rune soldiers, she was almost instinctively alert.
Yuan Feng actually had doubts in his heart. It's just that he promised his wife just now that he wanted to accompany her to the play. Speaking of which, this is the first time they've actually come out to play. Moreover, this is not the same as it used to be. In the late stage of the Qi Refining Realm, in front of him, he was no different from an ant. He didn't want to ruin his wife's good interest because of this disgusting thing, so he didn't say it.
Hearing this, he couldn't pretend to be deaf and dumb anymore, so he had to say: "Jiuniang, it's hard for us to make a trip...... I didn't expect the control of the provincial capital to be so strict. Alas, change your outfit. "He is also a disciple of Xianmen, and he is already a real person of Jindan, but he is not afraid of revealing his identity. is worried that after revealing his identity, he will face a bunch of socializing and will not be able to live in peace.
Shen Jiumei laughed: "It's okay, it's just a buzzing mosquito." Since we can't shoot it, we shouldn't have seen it. ”
The two had a very tacit understanding, and their hearts moved, and they suppressed Xiu Wei together, changed their clothes, dressed up as a mortal young couple, and then went to the official road.
They guessed right, that group was really going for the two of them.
To the top of the mountain.
The monk came down from the sedan chair and saw the empty top of the mountain, and his face changed: "Hey, why is there no one?"
