Chapter 483: Hearing the Wind and Moving
Early the next morning, Caoyan Town.
Even though it was still early, the whole town was already alive and well.
To the north of the town, on a ten-zhang long, north-south street, there is only an inn and pawnshop on the east side, and a hundred-year-old banyan tree on the west side.
Three breakfast stalls have been set up under the banyan tree to welcome customers.
Jiang Yichen cleared the silver taels for one night's stay and walked out of the inn.
All the way from Pinghai County, he rarely took the official road, and took the shortcut on the small road, firstly, to be quiet and reduce the possibility of being recognized, and secondly, he could not see clearly, for fear of delaying the trip.
The closer he got to his destination, the more crowded he was.
In order to see how many more people will come to hear the news.
In terms of initial observations, the situation is not encouraging.
After leaving the bamboo forest yesterday, on the way to and from Caoyan Town, Jiang Yichen successively met five groups of people and horses who went north together, mostly in groups of three or two, a total of 15 people.
There are three inns in the town, and only three of the twenty rooms remain.
Based on three people per room, even if all of them are full, there are only 60 people in total.
The number of people is not large, and it is impossible to determine where and why these people will go, but combined with the overall situation of the rivers and lakes that have been quiet and silent recently, it is not a small movement.
However, in the current situation, it has not been easy to come by.
Jiang Yichen knew very well that this was obtained by Luo Piaoling at the cost of exposing his whereabouts.
After a bloody storm at the Hundred Flowers Conference, the attention of the entire rivers and lakes was scattered, but no one would forget that Luo Piaoling stole the Shaolin Golden Seal, Xunfeng Valley planned to kill fellow martial artists, and the shocking charges of the Tianya Town House Arrest Alliance have not yet been cleared.
In Jiangning County, even though the Moral Alliance is declining, it is still easy to shake, and Tingyu Pavilion is not a small gang with only a dozen people in the past, so no one will make a big move to find Luo Piao in trouble.
But when Luo Piaoling unknowingly invited the general out of Jinzhou City, and even more grandiosely appeared in Youjing to control the matter of Luzhou City, which was thousands of miles away, the entire martial arts was shocked, as if a group of sharks smelled blood, and they were restless again with a momentary anger.
I'm afraid that even the forces in the court only didn't deliberately embarrass Luo Piaoling on the surface, and put the plan in secret.
Compared with the journey of the Niu family's father and daughter to the south, the return journey of Luo Piaoling and others will undoubtedly be more dangerous.
Reasonable, Jiang Yichen couldn't ignore the matter of listening to the Yuge, but before he was fully prepared, he could only leave it behind if he either completely regained his sight in his eyes, or advanced to the upper level without sitting and forgetting his mind.
Jiang Yichen looked for a taste and slowly walked to the opposite side of the inn.
This inn was vacated by a single old man in the town after his house was slightly renovated, and it didn't have a decent inn name.
After installing three guest rooms, the remaining space is only enough for the old man to live and live.
Of the three inns, this one is the smallest and the simplest to furnish, with no services other than accommodation.
The reason why Jiang Yichen chose to live here was not because he was greedy, after all, so many people didn't come empty-handed when they were in the Yin Yang Valley, and he and Leng Mei each shared a lot of silver and silver tickets after they got out of the valley, and they chose to live here only because there were two empty rooms here after they arrived in the town yesterday, and it was convenient to get out of the town here.
Coming to the banyan tree, Jiang Yichen picked a place to sit at a breakfast stall run by a husband and wife.
Jiang Yichen has never had a big appetite, and he couldn't eat too much in the early morning, so he simply ordered a baked cake, asked for a bowl of soy milk, and added three small spoons of sugar, that is, he planned to solve the breakfast like this.
Then he will spend a day of hard work to walk the thirty-mile road from Caoyan Town to Baiju Town.
Look at where there are shortcuts, where you can hide, and where you can ambush.
The only inconvenience was his eyes.
He has to keep his eyes on medication at all times, and it is unknown whether frequent eye use will delay recovery, but eye fatigue is inevitable.
Coupled with his outfit, it is very easy to look sneaky and attract people's eyes and ears when he goes on the road.
Just as Jiang Yichen bit down on the second bite of the baked cake and felt worried in his heart, he heard a muddy and low "ho" sound sounding half a foot away.
There was only one ho and no more follow-up.
Jiang Yichen heard the meaning of "such a coincidence".
The person who spoke out was none other than the person who cast a killing intent at him in the bamboo forest yesterday.
After a few breaths, the man had already walked to the empty table beside Jiang Yichen and sat down, shouting at the stall owner and his wife to serve the food.
Yesterday, the two of them were separated by a distance of more than ten zhang, and they were separated by a bamboo forest, Jiang Yichen naturally didn't know what the other party looked like, but this kung fu was enough for him to outline the other party's physical appearance in his mind.
And the sound of the knife confirming the fact that the other party is a knife maker.
What surprised Jiang Yichen the most was that this swordsman also came from the opposite inn.
To put it this way......
What a coincidence!
It's just that the amount of food this knife guest is really not comparable to him, two bowls of preserved egg and lean porridge, three baked cakes, and four meat buns.
I think if this early stall still sells beef, the other party will also come to ten plates and eight plates.
Jiang Yichen swallowed the biscuit in his mouth, drank soy milk, and then nibbled on the third biscuit.
No matter how much emotion or surprise he had, he could hide his feelings well.
And he didn't take off his hat, even if the other party had time to stare at him, he couldn't see the flowers from him.
However, before Jiang Yichen could tear off the third bite of the baked cake, another person approached.
The person who came was light and delicate, his body was relatively short and thin, and his body exuded a sandalwood fragrance that was not easy to detect.
The visitor quickly opened his mouth and asked, "Can I sit like this?"
The voice was extremely light and indistinct, as if a cloth was covering the mouth.
If it weren't for Jiang Yichen's sense of hearing that had been polished to be particularly keen, it would be really difficult to hear what people were saying.
Jiang Yichen was not surprised that this person would ask himself, the couple's stall only set up three tables, the rightmost one had already been sat around for dinner, he sat on the leftmost table, although the middle table was only a knife guest, but his body was much burly, one person was afraid that it would take up most of the table, and the new customers would take a little look, and most of them would choose a more spacious position to sit.
Jiang Yichen nodded without answering, and the hat shook back and forth gently.
Seeing this, the short and thin man was no longer polite, and sat down on Jiang Yichen's right hand side, put a plate of steamed buns on the table that had been paid, and ate them one by one.
Jiang Yichen secretly smiled bitterly at the beginning, but he was a little puzzled.
Why does this person eat steamed buns, don't drink soy milk, don't deserve porridge, isn't afraid of choking, can't swallow?
The doubts in my heart were not settled, but I could hear the knife man on the side muttering: "It's weird, it's weird, some people eat with hats, and some people don't take off their masks when they eat, how unsightly they are, all of them look like girls." ”
The swordsman's voice was not loud, Jiang Yichen heard not a word, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth that was still gnawing on the baked cake under the soap veil.
The short and thin man was obviously able to hold his breath as well, and he didn't care about the swordsman's sarcasm, and continued to encourage his cheeks to chew on the buns.
It wasn't until he swallowed the second bun that the short and thin man exhaled softly, and then he removed the wine sac from his waist, pulled out the wine sac stopper, stuffed the wine sac under the mask, and raised his head to pour wine.
Hearing the sound of the wine sac being pulled open, Jiang Yichen's previous incomprehension disappeared, and the co-author brought his own wine.
Wrong!
This taste......
It's not a drink at all!
Although his face was silent, Jiang Yichen's heart was already full of huge waves.
For a moment, his mind was spinning, and he glued together all the fragmented information.
Short and thin, sandalwood-scented, soft-voiced, mask, and wine sacs.
Although the smell of sandalwood is light, it always masks some other smells, such as the smell of blood.
The voice is soft, just because its voice is feminine like a woman, and only soft-spoken can not be noticed.
If you don't take off your mask when you eat, it means that her mouth is very special and very recognizable.
As for the sac, it was not water, nor tea, nor wine, but blood!
Among the fourteen wicked people in the rivers and lakes, there is one who likes to eat human flesh, and one person who likes to suck human blood.
Meat Tu Yu Dazui died at the hands of Leng Mei many years ago.
Blood slaughter Gu Ye, born sick, his parents for medical advice and medicine for many years to no avail, accumulated work and died early, he accidentally got a blood refining method to save himself, but also because of this evil method to embark on the path of evil.
Gu Ye has a short and thin body, a small cherry mouth, and a feminine voice, if it weren't for the appearance of most men, he would be no different from his daughter's family.
Its force is high, its techniques are unpredictable, and when the fourteen evil people are all alive, its strength can be ranked fourth.
Jiang Yichen swallowed the last bite of the baked cake fiercely, and his heart was full of alarms: What is he doing here?
After a while, Jiang Yichen got the answer, because of the poisonous exercises, Gu Ye often needs to eat and drink blood to maintain the normalcy of his body, and the source of this blood is better for young girls!
Father and daughter of the Niu family!
Jiang Yichen picked up the bowl steadily, bypassed the soap yarn, and took a small sip of soy milk.
In his heart, he was thinking about the chance of killing Gu Ye with one blow and making a move.
To kill Gu Ye, you not only need to take Gu Ye by surprise, but also take the strongest blow.
At the moment, Jiang Yichen's strongest killing move is naturally related to the mobilization of the power of heaven and earth.
It's just that his speed of mobilizing the power of heaven and earth with his qi to transform thousands of swords is still not fast enough.
In a battle with Yi Wusheng, if it weren't for his conscious victory and negligence, Jiang Yichen, who was already desperate, would be killed by the limit.
Yi Wusheng used to be ranked no more than sixth among the fourteen evildoers, even if time passed, if he wanted to use the trick to deal with Yi Wusheng to attack Gu Ye, in terms of speed alone, it was far from enough.
What can I do to speed it up?
Jiang Yichen's thoughts were undecided, and the soy milk in the bowl was about to bottom out.
Suddenly, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves, from south to north, from far and near.
There are about ten people in this team, and they happen to stop by the big banyan tree!
I only heard the voice of a young man immediately: "After a few days of traveling, it's finally almost there." Seeing that this stall looks good early, everyone gets off the horse and rests, has a good meal before going on the road. ”
"Okay, Childe. Someone immediately picked it up, and then shouted to the crowd behind him, "Get off the horse, have breakfast and then leave." ”
Everyone responded in unison and dismounted.
And the boy brother to wade into this troubled water?
