The convoy stopped and stopped, gradually approaching the bustling area. As Ye Linglong said, four old horses pulled four broken carts without even tents, loaded with eight gorgeous large boxes, which inevitably attracted attention along the way, and even met several good people who came forward to ask what was in the box.

On this day, the convoy finally arrived at a big city - Tuogong City. The Yaogui Domain is connected to the Lingwei Domain and the Chixi Domain in the north, and the boundary line is a large river flowing from east to west - the Ganlin River, and Tuogong City is built along the river. There are two other big cities along the river in the lower reaches of the east, which, together with Tuogong City, are known as the "Three Great Generals of Zhenjiang" in the north of Yaogui Domain. It is said that it is "Zhenjiang", but it is only relative to the Yao Treasure Domain, in fact, this place belongs to the hinterland of the entire demon territory, and the people who come and go from the south to the north have created the prosperity here.

According to what the masked woman said before, the convoy needs to change a batch of good cars and horses in Dacheng, and Tuogong City is the right place. Therefore, although it was just noon, the convoy would still stay in Tuogong City for a day.

According to Xiao Tianhe's thoughts, the entry and exit checks in the big city must be strict, and it is inevitable to talk a lot when entering the city. But who knows, the guards only asked a few words and let them go, and one of the guards was eager to take a few people to the best inn in the city. However, the masked woman declined the guard's kindness, and led the carriage through the city for a long time, until finally stopped in front of an inn in the south of the city.

The guy from the inn came out, saw eight big boxes, his eyes lit up, and he stepped forward and asked, "How many guest officers want to stay in the hotel?"

"Make room in the backyard for me to put my goods!" Obviously, the masked woman was not here for the first time.

The man was embarrassed and said, "Guest officer, there are so many carriages and horses, I'm afraid it ......"

"Can't put it down, then we'll go elsewhere. The masked woman sat back on the wheel.

The guy hurriedly stopped in front of the car: "No, no, no, I mean, there are a lot of things in the backyard, and I really can't put them down, but there are still some places on the side of the stable, if you don't dislike it, you can put them there." ”

"Hey, I've said it earlier!" the masked woman jumped out of the car and walked towards the inn. When he arrived at the door, he turned back and told the guy: "These goods are very important, you have to take a good look at them, if there is anything missing, ask you!"

"Okay!" the man happily agreed, leading the horse to the backyard.

After entering the inn, the three of them came to the counter. The shopkeeper was a capable old man with two catfish mustaches at the corners of his mouth, fiddling with the abacus. Seeing the guest coming, the movement of his hand stopped, glanced at the comer, and said with a smile: "Guest officer, there are three empty rooms in our store, I don't know what kind of room you want?"

Xiao Tianhe turned his head to look at the lobby, there were about a dozen greasy old tables and chairs, and a few guests were sitting sporadically. Some were drinking, some were sleeping on the table. Then I heard the masked woman say, "Bring me a superior room, and I'll leave tomorrow." After speaking, she took out a handful of blue yuan stones and put them on the counter.

"Oh, the guest officer is from the Immortal Realm?" the shopkeeper took the blue yuan stone while putting it on. Blue Yuan Stone and Red Meng Stone are both common money items in the Yu Yu Realm, and there must also be Blue Yuan Stone circulating in the Demon Realm, but it is rare for people to take out so many Blue Yuan Stones at once. "Guest officer, with so much money, you can book two medium rooms. The shopkeeper glanced at Xiao Tianhe and Ye Linglong curiously.

"No, one room is enough. The extra money is considered to be a reward. The masked woman was very "generous". Her voice was not small, causing several guests in the hall to look at her.

"Yes, yes, please come with me. The shopkeeper was very pleased and led the three of them upstairs.

The conditions of the superior rooms are indeed comfortable, and the rooms are very clean. The front window faces the hallway and lobby, while the back window faces the back garden of a large family.

The masked woman was not satisfied: "No, give me another room." ”

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment and persuaded: "Guest officer, this room is cleaned every day, and it is also the one with the best view in our store. ”

"Give me another room with a view of the stables. The masked woman said.

So, the shopkeeper led the three of them to change rooms. This one is also a superior room, just slightly smaller. The masked woman opened the window, and the stables were below, and several men were busy unloading the truck.

"This is it. The masked woman nodded in satisfaction.

After the shopkeeper left, Xiao Tianhe said, "You two are resting in the room, and I'll go to the lobby tonight to deal with it." ”

Ye Linglong hurriedly waved her hand: "No need, girl, you can rest here by yourself, and I will accompany him to the lobby." She didn't want to spend the night in a room with this strange masked woman.

"I wanted this room for myself. The masked woman said coldly, "You two will go to the stable tonight to look after the cargo for me." ”

"What, you let us go to the stable for the night?" Ye Linglong was very dissatisfied.

"I can't trust the guys in the store. Since you are 'entrusted by men,' you should be 'faithful,' aren't you?" The masked woman said, "All right, I'm tired, you go out." ”

Ye Linglong wanted to say something more, but Xiao Tianhe pulled her out of the room.

After going downstairs, Ye Linglong stomped her feet and complained: "It's too much of a bully!"

"It's just one night, everywhere. There is still a long way to go to Wenju Realm, so it is not appropriate to fall out with her, and you have to get by on your face. Xiao Tianhe persuaded.

"That'...... That's not a place for people to live in the stables!" Ye Linglong's voice attracted the attention of several people in the hall.

"Let's talk about it when we get out. Xiao Tianhe lowered his voice.

On the street, the two blended in with the passers-by.

"You

Did you notice that the guests in the lobby of the inn were very strange?"

Ye Linglong recalled carefully: "I remember that there was a man with a hat and wearing animal skins, there was a well-dressed boy, and a sloppy man snoring against the wall in the corner. Except for these three people, no one else was impressed. ”

"The scruffy man didn't fall asleep at all. Xiao Tianhe said affirmatively, "And Brother Gongzi and the guy in the animal skin jacket seem to be all the way, but they sit at two tables and don't talk to each other." And these people have been secretly observing us since we entered the inn, which is so strange. ”

Ye Linglong nodded: "I also think that the eyes of those people are not quite right, could they be that they have taken a fancy to the goods we are transporting?"

"It's hard to say. This inn is not open on a bustling street, there are not many guests, but there are a lot of people hired, and the few people in the hall really don't look like some merchants who go to the rivers and lakes, but the shopkeeper is still calculating the number on the abacus that far exceeds the income of the inn. "Xiao Tianhe has more suspicions. It turned out that when the masked woman was talking to the shopkeeper, he had already glanced carefully at the abacus.

Ye Linglong gasped: "You mean, this inn is a black shop?"

The masked woman had already told the shopkeeper that she would leave the store tomorrow and leave the city, so Xiao Tianhe expected that the only way to do it was tonight: "It's clear whether it's dark or not." ”

It was still a few hours before it got dark. Xiao Tianhe took Ye Linglong to the downtown first, and it was not until the evening that the two returned to the inn called "Chivalry". In the lobby, the residents who saw it during the day were gone, leaving the shopkeeper and idle guys. The two did not enter the inn, but went to the backyard from the side path. As the guy said, there was some lumber and debris piled up in the backyard. The stables were on the west side of the backyard, and the two walked through the yard and inside. As soon as you enter the stables, you can smell a choking smell, and there is a lot of horse manure on the ground, most of which has been dried.

Ye Linglong pinched her nose: "It's too dirty!

The eight large boxes were piled up next to the stable door. Xiao Tianhe found some fairly clean blades of grass and spread them on the box.

Ye Linglong asked with a bitter face, "Do you really plan to spend the night in this stinky stable?"

"Then what else?" Xiao Tianhe pointed to his head, "Someone upstairs is watching!" "There are several large holes in the canopy of the stables that have fallen into disrepair, and one of them is just above the chest, and the situation in the stable can be clearly seen from the room where the masked woman lives.

"If you come, you will be safe!" Xiao Tianhe jumped onto the box.

"Oops!" Ye Linglong was about to cry, "I don't care about hardship, even if it's in the wilderness, deep mountains and old forests, I can still deal with it safely." It was the smell of horse manure everywhere that made me dizzy. ”

"Ha, I don't feel it when I get used to it. Xiao Tianhe stretched out his hand and pulled Ye Linglong up.

......

There is a saying that "the house leaks when it rains overnight", and on the night when the two of them stooped down to the broken stables, the sky was not beautiful, and it rained heavily from the beginning of the day. There were leaks everywhere in the stables, and the canopy was the same. Xiao Tianhe took off his clothes and propped up a few dead branches on the top of Ye Linglong's head.

"It doesn't have to be that way. I can use the power of Meng to steam and dry my clothes. Ye Linglong said.

Xiao Tianhe said gently: "The girl's body is easy to cold, so it's better to get less rain." Besides, Meng Li has to stay in case of emergencies, right?"

In fact, when cultivating to this level, it is unlikely that you will get sick in the rain or something. Ye Linglong couldn't bear to refuse Xiao Tianhe's kindness, smiled at him, and hugged her knees beside him. "Young Master Xiao. She shouted softly.

Xiao Tianhe said with a smile: "It's time to change this title, how uncomfortable is it to be so polite? Just call me by my name." ”

"Hmm. Milky Way. ”

"What's wrong?"

"When I finish learning the formation from Senior Wei Chi, will you accompany me to find my grandfather?"

"Of course. After a pause, Xiao Tianhe asked again, "What are you going to do when you find your grandfather?"

Ye Linglong shook her head slightly: "I haven't thought that far ahead. Cultivating formations doesn't happen overnight. Grandpa was never heard from again. When these two things are done, I'm afraid it will be a long time later. ”

"Are you going to take revenge on the Red Emperor?"

"This ...... To tell you the truth, because of my own lack of strength, I don't even have the courage to take revenge. Ye Linglong smiled self-deprecatingly, "I'm afraid it's more hopeful to let grandpa go than if I go to take revenge, right?" It's just that the power of the Chixi Emperor is too great, I'm afraid grandpa himself doesn't have much confidence, otherwise he wouldn't have left in the first place, and once he disappeared, it would be so many years." ”

"Then let's wait until we have the strength to take revenge. Until then, we had been traveling all over the world and cultivating diligently. "Xiao Tian Dao.

Ye Linglong laughed out loud: "How hard can you play?"

"Just walk to a place and stay for a while. Besides, from the time I ascended to the Yuyu Realm until I cultivated with the two masters, my life never stopped, and I didn't delay my cultivation during the period of traveling around? ”

"Okay, okay, I can't talk about you. If you want to travel all over the world, you can swim, and I will accompany you. Ye Linglong gently rested her head on Xiao Tianhe's shoulder.

"Hehe," Xiao Tianhe grinned, "How is it? I'm right, right? ”

"Oh, I forgot about it, you mentioned it and remembered it again!

"Shhhh

——" Xiao Tianhe suddenly grabbed Ye Linglong's hand with a serious expression.

Ye Linglong pricked up her ears and listened carefully, and in the sound of the wind and rain, she could faintly hear a strange sound. Xiao Tianhe jumped out of the stable, and when he looked up, there was a figure shaking in the room where the masked woman was.

"It's not good, there's a fight upstairs!" Xiao Tianhe hurriedly ran to the front door of the inn, Ye Linglong followed and ran a few steps, suddenly stopped and thought about it, and retreated to the stable.

Xiao Tianhe came to the gate and found that the gate was closed. I pushed hard but couldn't push it open, and there was no light inside. Without further ado, he slammed the door open with a stumble of his shoulders. The hall was dark, and he rushed towards the stairs with his memory. When he arrived at the staircase, a hand suddenly stretched out from the darkness under the stairs, digging straight into Xiao Tianhe's heart, and when it was about to touch his chest, a knife condensed from his fingertips, which frightened Xiao Tianhe a lot, and he turned sideways and avoided it dangerously.

The sneak attack failed, and the person hiding under the stairs directly showed his magic knife and took Xiao Tianhe directly. With the light of the sword, Xiao Tianhe found that this person was the man in the animal skin jacket!

"You really aren't a good type!" Xiao Tianhe took out the Chang Geng knife, and the golden light completely covered the sword light of the beast skin jacket man's magic knife!

When he saw the Chang Gung knife, the man was also very surprised, and sighed: "What a flamboyant magic knife!"

Xiao Tianhe snorted coldly, and the two waved their knives at each other, making a move like a storm. The strength of the man in the animal skin jacket is not weak, Xiao Tianhe tried to pull up the stairs several times, but he intercepted him. Seeing that he was firmly guarding the staircase, Xiao Tianhe took a few steps back, kicked the chair on the table, and reached out to grab the corridor railing on the second floor. The man seemed to have expected it, picked up a chair next to him with a knife, kicked the chair in the air, and kicked the chair towards Xiao Tianhe.

Xiao Tianhe was hit the lower abdomen by the chair, and fell down, and the man's knife had already slashed at the top of his head. Xiao Tianhe turned over to the side in pain, and the knife split the table to pieces. The man turned his blade and slashed, Xiao Tianhe flipped all the way to the counter with the Chang Gung knife, slapped the ground with one palm, kicked the counter with his foot, and slashed the man's head with a "climbing the stairs and hugging the moon".

The man in the animal skin jacket slid on his knees, dodged the Chang Gung knife, and just under Xiao Tianhe, he kicked him into the air with a kick in the chest, and then spun up with both hands on the ground, and kicked Xiao Tianhe more than 20 times in a row. Xiao Tianhe held the knife with both hands, forcibly blocked all the twenty or so feet, and then turned over and stepped on the man with his feet to feet. The man thought that he was going to fight for his legs, so he touched the ground with a magic knife and took off again, but Xiao Tianhe didn't want to fight with him, but instead used the man's kicking power to get up with the "Dragon Tour" body method, and directly "flew" up to the corridor on the third floor.

The masked woman's room is located in the northwest corner of the third floor. Xiao Tianhe could clearly hear the sound of fighting in the room. He jumped to the front of the room in two steps, raised his foot and kicked it to the door, but suddenly someone grabbed his foot. When I looked closely, it was actually that sloppy man who was "drunk and asleep"! It turned out that he had been hiding on the top of the corridor before! At this time, his legs hooked the beam, and the whole person hung upside down, and he threw Xiao Tianhe out with both hands. Xiao Tianhe rolled around in the air a few times, landed steadily, and the man in the animal skin jacket behind him also chased after him, and the sloppy man hanging in front of him blocked the way, and the two blocked Xiao Tianhe in the narrow corridor.

The situation was not good, Xiao Tianhe had an idea, slammed into the room next to him, a knife wave split the window, jumped out, and the moment the whole person threw himself out of the window, he kicked the window frame, flew off the wall, and entered the room where the masked woman was from the window.

Candles are lit on the table in the room. The flames swayed lightly with the wind brought in by Xiao Tianhe. When Xiao Tianhe saw the situation in the room clearly, he was dumbfounded.

The masked woman sat upright, with her arms folded, on the chair next to the table. Except for her and Xiao Tianhe, there was no one else in the room. "What's the matter? There were clearly two figures shaking just now, could it be that the wicked were defeated by her?" Xiao Tianhe was puzzled. There were no bodies on the floor, the door was closed, even the tables and chairs were neat, and the whole room showed no signs of messiness.

"What about people?" Xiao Tianhe asked.

"No one, just me. The masked woman said indifferently.

Xiao Tianhe was stunned, could it be that the sound of the fight and the swaying figure were all illusions made by the masked woman? What was her purpose?

At this moment, the door opened, and the man in the animal skin jacket and the sloppy man walked in with a knife, standing behind the masked woman.
