Chapter 116: Parting Ways
"Have the people of the Ye family arrived in Huaicheng?"
"When I arrived, I also brought two people from the Heavenly Star Gate. ”
"What can I do now? ”
"What, what are you afraid of. ”
"How can you not be nervous. ”
"Two disciples of the Heavenly Star Sect scared you like this?"
"Do you think you're sure you'll win?"
"Hmph, after a few days of my divine practice, what is the Heavenly Star Gate!"
"What about the three of them? Did you send someone to track them down?"
"No, you know, do you think our people are chasing the people of Tianxingmen?"
"So what are they doing now, how do we know what they are doing? ”
"It's useless to do anything now, since the Heavenly Star Gate has intervened, we have to hurry up!"
Huai Island, is the southernmost island in the Xuantian Kingdom, there is a city on the island called Huaicheng, is the only city on the island, occupies one-third of the area of Huai Island, is located in the west of the island, the island to other places the only one of the spirit ship dock is located here. To the east of the island is a large area of deep forest, with various villages, large and small.
In Huaicheng, Ye Hua and his entourage were about to enter the city, in order to prevent being recognized by the Huaicheng guards, they changed their outfits, especially Shui Menglan and Rui Xinlan's clothes were too conspicuous, Ye Hua bought two clothes from the locals at a farmer's house outside the city for Shui Menglan and them to change.
"Didn't we plan to go directly to General Ye, why did we go into the city?" Rui Xinlan followed behind the two and whispered.
"Ye Hua's father was attacked in the middle of the night, and we don't know where to flee to. Shui Menglan also explained to Rui Xinlan in a low voice.
"Didn't Zhao Ren, who came back, say that he was in a village in the north. ”
"The direction is correct, but my father is not the kind of person who will stay in one place for a long time, and the villages are not suitable for defense, and there are more than a dozen villages in the north of Huai Island, so we can't find them one by one. Ye Hua smiled mysteriously, "And I think we still need to understand the current situation in Huaicheng and understand the situation from another angle." ”
"Are you sure no one is following us?" Shui Menglan said to Ye Hua, she pretended to look around relaxedly.
"I'm sure, after getting off the boat, Ouyang Jie's people did leave, when I bought clothes from the farmer's house just now, I also surveyed the surroundings, there was no trace, and I believe that you didn't feel that there were other cultivators around. After Ye Hua finished speaking, he didn't forget to look at Rui Xinlan, now among the three of them, Ye Hua can't use spiritual power because he can't perceive the spiritual power around him, and although Shui Menglan's cultivation is high, his perception of spiritual power is not as keen as Rui Xinlan.
"There really wasn't anyone around following us. Rui Xinlan nodded, "I don't know why, after getting off the boat, those strange spiritual powers around us disappeared. ”
"Because it's gone. Ye Hua said, "I guess our whereabouts were indeed exposed, but I don't know why we gave up tracking." ”
"Could it be that they really believe Brother Ye Hua's words?" After Rui Xinlan finished speaking, she looked at Ye Hua and Shui Menglan with a slight smile on her face, and knew that she had just said the wrong thing, and quickly stretched out her tongue.
"Senior Sister Xinlan, that Ouyang Jie is definitely not the kind of person who is easily fooled, he will definitely not believe Ye Hua's words, but I really don't know why he didn't follow us after getting off the boat, maybe I don't think it's necessary, after all, I've already arrived at their place, and there are their eyes and ears everywhere. Shui Menglan still explained to Rui Xinlan.
"Then we still have to go in?" Hearing this, Rui Xinlan suddenly realized that it was too dangerous for their group to enter Huaicheng.
"Although my father suspects that Huaicheng is too guarded, I think it still needs to be investigated, and the scene here really doesn't look like a rebellion outside the city. Ye Hua looked around, the traffic at the door was full of prosperity, and it really didn't look like he was preparing for war.
"Let's go to the city and take a look. After Ye Hua said his thoughts, he beckoned the two of them to enter the city together.
"The guards here are too lax, aren't they?" As soon as she entered Huaicheng after passing the gate of Huaicheng, Shui Menglan began to complain, "Although this west gate is in the rear, who can guarantee that the thieves will not sneak into the city from the rear or sneak into the city to sabotage." ”
"I also noticed what you just said, as I speculated before, this Huaicheng has not entered a state of combat readiness at all, and I don't know what the hell that Huaicheng Taishou is doing. Ye also found out about these situations, but he still pretended to be careless and walked forward relaxed.
"However, I heard my aunt say that at that time in the court, Huaicheng Taishou wrote that the situation was extremely urgent, and the enemy was huge, and he had no choice but to go to General Ye to suppress it in person. Rui Xinlan recalled what she had learned from Ye Mu before.
"Herein lies the problem. Ye Hua smiled bitterly, "There are so many generals in the Xuantian Kingdom who can fight, why do you specify that my father is going to go." ”
"I don't know that the situation is more complicated than I thought. Shui Menglan said.
"Let's go, go sit over there. Ye Hua pointed to an inn not far ahead.
Huaicheng is not as good as Tianliyuan, here is a port in and out of Xuantian Kingdom, people come and go, many inns are not only relatively simple, there is no luxury of Tianliyuan, here gathered all kinds of characters, it is a good place for Ye Hua to inquire about things.
Ye Hua and the others found a seat to sit down under the greeting of the shopkeeper, and asked for a cup of tea casually.
"Xiao Er!" Ye Hua stopped Xiao Er, and he sounded to the other party: "We first arrived in your land today, and we heard that there was a serious rebellion here and the war was tense, and I waited for two more bodyguards to come out, why do I see that this Huaicheng is very calm, where is there any war?"
"Guest officer. Xiao Er glanced at Shui Menglan and Rui Xinlan and laughed: "I don't know what kind of war you are talking about, I did say that there were thieves rebelling outside the city before, but there seems to be no movement recently, you see that these defenders are still basking in the sun on the city wall, where is the war tense." Childe, it's okay for you to go out alone, isn't it easier to be robbed when you come out with two beauties. ”
"You can't speak!" Shui Menglan choked the little two angrily. "Whoever dares to rob, I will let him come and go. ”
"Oh! It turned out to be a chivalrous woman. Xiao Er was taken aback by Shui Menglan and hurriedly apologized, "The villain has no eyes, how much offended, how much offended!"
"What you just said is true?" Ye Hua was even more puzzled when he heard Xiao Er's words, "How can I say that the rebellion is rampant here, and the imperial court has also sent the Duke of Zhenguo to come." ”
"That's terrible!" Xiao Er also exclaimed when he heard this, "I don't know if Zhenguo Gong is here or not, but the situation here is what you see, I don't know what the situation is in other villages, but the rebels mentioned before have indeed never returned to Huaicheng." ”
Hearing this, Ye Hua walked away from Xiao Er, and the three of them sat on their seats and drank the vegetarian tea they were delivered, looking at the scene on the street.
"Ye Hua, what the hell do you say is going on?" Shui Menglan said: "Could it be that Taishou lied about the military situation, but in fact, the rebellion is not very powerful." ”
"If that's the case, what's in it for him. Ye Hua shook his head, "For the way of officials, this kind of rebellion can only be suppressed, and it must be said that it is not serious, but this Huaicheng Taishou said that the rebellion that was not serious was so serious, and asked my father to go in person." ”
"Could it be that you want to invite merit? When General Ye arrives, he will say that he has suppressed the rebels, and then find the imperial court to receive a reward?" Shui Menglan said her opinion.
"But isn't it easy to be convicted of bullying the king?" Ye Hua disagreed with Shui Menglan's opinion. "It's too risky, and I definitely wouldn't do it if it were. ”
"I have an idea. Rui Xinlan whispered, and found that Ye Hua and Shui Menglan were both looking at her, and she was still a little embarrassed: "My idea is very simple, I just don't know if it's right." ”
"Say it, and everyone thinks about it together. Ye Hua knew Rui Xinlan's character, and he encouraged the other party.
"yes, tell us about it. Shui Menglan also agreed.
"I actually have a very simple idea, I just think, although I don't know what the reason is, but is the other party just trying to bring Ye Hua's father here?" Rui Xinlan's voice became smaller and smaller.
Originally, she thought that she would hear Ye Hua and Shui Menglan's ridicule, but she found that Ye Hua and the others were looking at her with affirmative eyes.
"Sister Xinlan, I didn't expect your opinion to be so unique. Shui Menglan approved.
"Yes, that's a good point of view. Ye Hua patted his head, "Why didn't I think of it in the first place." ”
"However, what is the purpose of going to great lengths to lure General Ye over?" Shui Menglan fell into thought again.
"Although this idea sounds unlikely, it does not lose a direction, but the reason, I guess I need to investigate separately, I suddenly found that this Huaicheng Taishou is becoming more and more unusual. Ye Hua's expression became serious, "If they want to be unfavorable to my father, we have to hurry." ”
"What are we going to do next?" Shui Menglan said.
"It seems that I think it is necessary to guard that Huaicheng too much. Ye Hua showed a sly smile, "If you don't get into the tiger's den, I want to see what tricks that old fox is playing." ”
"Now that we know that Taishou has bad intentions, and your father's condition is unknown, isn't it too dangerous for us to go now?" Shui Menglan did not agree with Ye Hua's idea.
"I think the other party is really malicious, but I revealed my identity, and he didn't dare to do it because he had scruples. Ye Hua put forward his own opinion.
"I still think it's better for us to go out and investigate on our own. Shui Menglan still insisted on her own ideas.
Rui Xinlan saw that neither of them could talk to each other, so she whispered to the two: "Don't fight, I think we should go our separate ways, right?"
Ye Hua and Shui Menglan looked at each other in surprise, they couldn't imagine that Rui Xinlan, a junior sister who didn't seem to be confident, could always put forward her own unique opinions.
"That's a good idea. Shui Menglan agreed, and she didn't forget to glance at Ye Hua.
