Chu Peiyao looked down at the knife in his hand made of bamboo scabbard, the green scabbard was carved with delicate patterns, and he was very well-behaved.

"I'm leaving, you have to be careful......" Chen Kangfei jumped out of the trap and looked back to see Chu Peiyao looking up at him, with tears in his big eyes.

"You're going to be fine, right?" Chu Peiyao said as she looked at him.

Chen Kang pretended to smile lightly and said, "Yes, I will definitely be fine!" He quickly re-laid the branches to cover the trap.

Chen Kang's footsteps left, and Chu Peiyao's tears rolled out. I only heard someone shouting outside: "There, there, it's that thief!" Then there was the sound of blades clashing, from near to far and from far to near, Chu Peiyao grabbed the knife, and her heart was pounding with nervousness. After a long time, the sound finally got farther and farther away......

Chu Peiyao didn't know how long she had been inside, and she didn't know what time it was, Chen Kang hadn't appeared, and her stomach was already so hungry that she couldn't stand it. He slowly crawled out of the trap and thought about getting out of the woods.

But this forest is not small, the trees are dense and cover the sky, Chu Peiyao climbed out of the pit, where can he tell what is southeast and northwest.

I drilled in the forest for a while, couldn't find the right way, and couldn't get out of the forest until it was dark. Panicked and frightened by herself, she fell in the dark, rolled down a slope and fainted.

When she woke up again, her heart was cold, for she had returned to the ruined temple, where the mad old man was roasting a hare with a firewood.

It turned out that the crazy old man woke up and disappeared Chen Kang and the others, so he searched everywhere, and finally found the woods again, met Chu Peiyao in a coma, and arrested her back to the temple.

The crazy old man decided that Chu Peiyao was Chen Kang's daughter-in-law, and he didn't listen to Chu Peiyao no matter what Chu Peiyao said, so he had to keep her here, saying that he would wait for Chen Kang to come to her.

This stay is for several days, but fortunately, the crazy old man is not bad, and he also gives her food and drink, but he doesn't let her go. But his brain was not good after all, and he was finally escaped by Chu Peiyao who found a chance.

It's just that when she returned to the Qingpingju Inn in the city, Yin Tiancheng left Fenzhou City with Qianxun on the first day. The shopkeeper knew that she was a friend of his young master, so he prepared a silver tael for her and hired a carriage to send her to Jizhou City.

Chu Peiyao picked up the important story of the incident, and asked with some concern: "Brother Yin, Chen Kang was not lightly injured, do you think he can escape in the end?"

Yin Tianchengzhong was also secretly worried about Chen Kang, but he only said:

"His martial arts are not bad, there shouldn't be a big problem! Now it's useless to think too much, fortunately, you have arrived safely in Jizhou City alone, it seems that as long as you are separated from me, even if you don't rely on the protection of the dart bureau, you will have no wind and waves on this road." ”

Chu Peiyao lowered her eyes, hooked her lips and smiled: "Listening to Brother Yin's words, it seems that I hope that something will happen to me." ”

"What did Miss Chu say? Yin just felt that you had been walking with me before, but you were tired and scared. ”

Yin Tiancheng's words were very polite, but the more polite he was, the more Chu Peiyao could feel his alienation, and he couldn't help but feel a bitterness in his heart, but he still said with a smile:

"It's me who has taken care of Brother Yin all the way, and I should thank you so much! I'm about to arrive home, and I want to invite Brother Yin to my home as a guest and express my gratitude. Doesn't Brother Yin also want to see my brother? He should have arrived home earlier than me. ”

Yin Tiancheng said: "It's not good to disturb like this, it's better to wait for me to meet the third sister and they will visit another day!"

"Brother Yin, what did you say to disturb me, no matter what, you should let me do a little bit of the friendship of the landlord......"

Yin Tiancheng didn't wait for her to finish, then interrupted with a smile: "Miss Chu doesn't have to be like this, Yin Mou is used to wandering on the rivers and lakes, and when she goes to the house, she feels uncomfortable, and she understands it." ”

Chu Peiyao wanted to say something more, but after all, she held back, and only smiled bitterly: "Okay...... Then I'll be waiting for you at home. ”

Yin Tiancheng nodded and said with a smile: "It's almost dark, let's go into the city quickly!"

The three of them drove their horses into the city slowly, and when they reached the first fork in the road, Yin Tiancheng rode his horse close to the window of the car and asked Chu Peiyao in the car: "Miss Chu, where is your house going?"

Chu Peiyao in the car didn't open the curtains, and was silent for a moment and said: "It must be in a different direction from Brother Yin, if Brother Yin wants to go, go first!"

Yin Tiancheng was secretly ashamed in his heart, he really wanted to wait for her to say the direction and choose the other direction, at this time, she said this, but he felt that he was disappointed, but he really didn't want to face her friendship again, so he said:

"Then Miss Chu cherishes, let's leave here!" turned to Qian Xun and said, "Let's go!"

The two rode their horses towards the street to the north.

At this time, it was almost dark, and Yin Tiancheng planned to find a place to settle down first, and then find the contact secret note left by Miao Xiaohuan tomorrow. However, the two of them searched for several inns in the city in a row, but each of them said that it was full.

Yin Tiancheng couldn't help but wonder a little, now that the new year has just begun, why are so many people rushing to Jizhou City? Could it be that something "lively" happened in this city?

In the end, the two went around to a small inn in the south of the country, the door of the inn was closed, and the two wind lamps on the eaves were lit up, and the signboard read: "Xiaoxu Inn".

Although the door is closed, you can still hear the noise of people inside when you stand outside, and it is very lively. Yin Tiancheng stepped forward with the mentality of trying it and knocked on the door of the store.

"It's coming, it's coming!" a man's voice inside hurriedly responded.

But after a while, the door "creaked" and opened halfway, and a man in his forties leaned out and said to Yin Tiancheng:

"Sorry for keeping you waiting for a long time! The shop has a lot of customers tonight, and it's a little busy...... If the two of you are staying, there will be no room, but there is still a place for dining. ”

Yin Tiancheng saw that he was not wearing the clothes of a small house, and he was probably the owner of this store.

"Shopkeeper, we all need to eat and stay in the hotel, don't we have a room?"

Yin Tiancheng thought that he could not need a room, but Qianxun had to have a place to live.

The man looked at them in embarrassment and said:

"Hey, it's a bad luck in the shop today...... However, if the two of them can't settle down in the shop, I'm afraid that other inns won't have rooms, and it's just the beginning of spring, and the night is very cold, but it's really unbearable. ”

The man pondered and said, "...... There are two other young girls in the shop, and I'll go and talk to them later, and see if I'd like to move one out for you. ”

"In that case, there will be a Lao shop!" Yin Tiancheng thanked.

"Yes, yes, yes! I'll try it later, but there's no guarantee that it will work, how about the two guest officers go to eat first?" the man said.

Yin Tiancheng nodded in agreement, and the man opened the door, greeted him, and led the horse to the back shed to cook.

When the two of them entered the hall, they saw that there were still three tables of guests sitting in the hall. One of the tables is a large table with two square tables put together. More than a dozen people sat around eating, drinking, and talking. There were men and women, almost all of them in their twenties, and there was only one older woman, a woman in a flower dress, who was only in her forties.

And they all spoke with great boldness, laughing when they were happy, as if no one was around. Seeing Yin Tiancheng and the others coming in, their eyes were cast on them. Several young men and women couldn't help but look surprised, and felt rude after a little distraction, and hurriedly looked away.

After a while, the table resumed the conversation and laughter just now.

There were two tables on the other side, one table was a pair of middle-aged men and women, and the other table was two middle-aged men, both with swords. Yin Tiancheng swept his eyes slightly, and he knew the situation in the hall well, and took Qian Xun to choose a small table on the side and sit down.

A chubby woman happily came out of the kitchen, brought a large bowl of food to the guest table in the middle, and hurried over to greet Yin Tiancheng and them.

Although this woman was fat, her movements did not appear clumsy at all, and her gestures were very light and flexible.

"Two guest officers, this small shop usually has few customers, and there are not too many ingredients on it, but the hot mutton soup is not lacking, or the two of you will use some?"

Yin Tiancheng listened to her tone and was the proprietress of this store.

"Okay, if there are any other good dishes, let's try to make some of them!" Yin Tiancheng said.

"Okay, you two will wait for the house for a while. The proprietress smiled happily and went to the kitchen. After a while, two side dishes were served.

At this time, Yin Tiancheng heard the sound of hurried carriages and horses outside, and stopped outside the store after a while, followed by the sound of "Bang Bang Bang!"

The proprietress had just walked into the hall with a bowl of mutton soup from the kitchen, and when she heard the knock on the door, she hurriedly came over and put the mutton soup on Yin Tiancheng's table, and immediately stepped forward.

Yin Tiancheng saw that the big bowl of fragrant hot soup was full of filling, and the woman just walked quickly and put it on the table, but the soup seemed to be stuck in the bowl and did not move. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but pull up a clear smile, and said secretly: "I didn't expect to meet such a skilled practitioner in this small shop." ”

The knock on the door was too loud, and the diners at the middle table stopped making noise at this time and looked towards the door.

The proprietress rushed over and just opened the door a little, when the person outside the door pushed the door wide open with a "bang" of great impatience.

As soon as the door opened, I saw a big man standing in front of the door with a fierce look.

Behind the big man was a lavishly arranged carriage, and at the front of the carriage stood two young men in black clothes. When the big man saw the proprietress come out, he scolded in a rough voice: "Damn, is it dead?

The proprietress is also good-tempered, and she doesn't care at all, but still happily accompanies her smiling face and says:

"Oh, guest officer, I'm really sorry! There are a lot of customers tonight, and the small shop is not busy enough to open, please take care of it!"

The big man's nostrils "snorted", and only then did he collect his ferocity, turned to the carriage and bowed down and said, "Master, please get off the carriage!"

The two black-clothed youths respectfully lifted the curtain and invited out a thin old man wearing a silver cloak. The proprietress hurriedly beckoned to settle in the hall.

A few people approached the hall, and everyone saw the face of the big man clearly, with a face, big shoulders and a round waist, but he was wearing the clothes of a servant of a rich and noble family.
