After the man entered the house, Zheng Dongxi did not continue to sit outside, and followed him into the house, and closed the door to avoid being disturbed.

I trotted to the front desk again, and came over with a kettle and two porcelain cups from the side, filled a glass for the visitor, and handed it over.

The latter took the teacup, looked down and didn't drink it, just pinched it in the palm of his hand and swirled it gently.

Looking around at the inn, thinking about something else.

Seeing the other party's appearance, Zheng Dongxi suddenly became suspicious, this is not like the Cao account room, the latter has been in the inn for so many years, and he will not show this appearance as soon as he comes.

Then Zheng Dongxi thought again, maybe the other party has been out for a long time, and wants to see if there are any major changes in the inn over the years.

Thinking of this, Zheng Shixi opened his mouth and asked tentatively: "I often hear the shopkeeper talk about you, but I didn't expect it to come so quickly." ”

"Oh, what are you talking about me?" the man came back to his senses when he heard this, lifted his back robe, sat down on the wooden bench, and looked up into Zheng Shi's eyes.

As everyone knows, because the man replied to this, Zheng Dongxi's heart was three points more suspicious.

Then he asked quietly: "Ah, it's nothing, just say that you are a good hand at cooking and stir-frying, frying and stewing, and now the inn can't open the fire, and now it's good that you're here." ”

For Zheng Dongxi's words, there were two strange dry laughs on the faces of the people, neither silent nor denied.

After a pause of three breaths, just as he was about to speak, he saw Zheng Shiwu's expression change, he stood up with a serious face, looked at the face of the person with his eyes firmly, and said:

"You are not Cao's accountant, who is your Excellency, please tell me the truth. ”

The man was stunned when he heard this, then laughed and shook his head: "I'm naturally not him, and I'm not surnamed Cao, I'm here to find someone." ”

"Who are you looking for?" Zheng Dongxi's vigilant expression did not decrease, and his eyes narrowed and he asked in a deep voice.

"Tachibana. The man bowed his head slightly and spit out two words softly. If I'm not mistaken, it should be called this name, and the figure of the girl secretly appeared in my mind.

smacking in her mouth, so much time has passed, and I don't know if the girl has grown taller.

Hearing these two words, Zheng Dongxi instantly reacted to who was in front of him, after all, Dan Tangerine's identity was no secret in the entire inn, between several of them.

So I was shocked, my face changed color slightly, and I turned back to normal and said categorically: "I am the only one in the entire inn, there is no one you are looking for, if your Excellency is staying, I welcome it, if you are looking for someone, please go elsewhere." ”

"Otherwise, I'll show you a bright place, leave the inn, turn around the corner of the street and go straight for a distance, and you can see the new yamen of our Qingchuan County, go there and inquire. ”

"I'm not far away. Zheng Dongxi said the last few words without smiling, and then turned around and was about to leave.

At that moment, turning his back to the man, Zheng Dongxi's mind turned sharply, and he began to think about which one of the demon sects was coming.

Look, this age is not young, and it must be some elder who is a remnant of the Demon Gate back then.

Unexpectedly, those high-ranking sects, whether it is the Buddha Gate or the Demon Gate, or the Jianque Villa, etc., there are still many masters who have successfully skipped the catastrophe.

As for what people came to find Dan Tangerine, he Zheng Shi knew very little and couldn't quite understand it, but after a little speculation, he could figure out a general direction.

It's just that now the Demon Gate wants to be revived, and it is the time to employ people, how can they let go of such a holy woman as Dantang.

Not to mention its identity and status in the Demon Gate, just its strength is commendable, and it is still so young, and there are infinite possibilities in the future.

It is impossible to say that the resurgence of the demon gate will fall on it.

However, after taking a few steps, Zheng Dongxi suddenly wondered, why there was no movement behind him, the other party was not small, and he couldn't really be frightened away by his words.

Just thinking like this, Zheng Dongxi turned his head violently, and saw that the man was standing beside him, looking at the direction of the upstairs with a slightly deep look.

"Not leaving?!" Zheng Dongxi subconsciously took half a step back, distanced himself from it, and spoke, even raising his voice.

"Go, where am I going? No one has found me, I won't go. After speaking, the man looked at Zheng Shishi and smiled, and said, "As for how to find it, that's my business, so you don't need to worry about it." ”

Before the words could be completely spoken, I saw that the man had walked to the door of the backyard, and a dodge had disappeared behind the door.

"Hey, I'm so grumpy, and I don't want to listen to what's wrong. Zheng Dongxi said, rolled up his sleeves and walked forward.

Now he also muttered in his heart, looking at the other party's pleasant appearance, he didn't look like a person in the demon gate at all.

In his memory, although there were very few bloodthirsty and murderous people in those demon sects back then, most of them were people with eccentric temperaments.

Or he had a cold face, as if everyone owed him two or three copper plates.

But then again, if it's not a person from the Demon Gate, then who would want to find Dantang?

......

The sunset on the distant mountains is red and orange, like an invisible pusher, slowly pulling it away, constantly replacing the day.

Under the wind and sand in the four fields, a line of fast horses whipped away from the dust, if you can take a closer look, when you find that it is the first donkey.

The speed is extremely fast, and he shakes off several fast horses behind him.

After a while, the donkey stopped at the foot of a hill.

Looking up into the distance, Liu Yuan raised his right hand, motioned for the person next to him to stop, and said softly: "Dongzhu, are you sure it's in this direction?"

"Yes, shopkeeper, we should be standing at the boundary of the Southwest Road by now, and as for the master, it will be there in that direction for two or three days. ”

After Dongzhu finished speaking, he also raised his right hand and stretched out his index finger to point in that direction.

"Is there any other way, even if it's a detour? The expression on Liu Yuan's face was still a little solemn, and then he asked.

"Well, if you take a detour, then there will be more, I'm afraid it will take seven or eight days. Fuyutake replied thoughtfully.

"Okay, that's the way, seven or eight days. Liu Yuan nodded, seven or eight days is acceptable, not a half-month month.

When they went on the road again, the Dan Tang sisters didn't ask much about the reason, just listened to the shopkeeper.

Only Liu Guanzhang seemed to see some clues, but he didn't say much, and Pei Jiao's intelligence naturally found out.

But she couldn't suppress her curiosity, and there was no need to suppress what she said.

So when he was resting one night, Pei Jiao quietly walked to Liu Yuan's side, pulled the latter behind a big tree, and said a little mysteriously: "Why didn't you take that road before, was there a war, or was it because of the intervention in the Chengdu of the Pingding King?"

"Both. Liu Yuan replied directly, and there was nothing to hide, "We are here to ask for help from the medical saint, and we don't want to have anything to do with the other two." ”

As for the war, needless to say, Liu Yuan also knew that Pei Jiao would definitely know, because the movements he heard before, there was no reason why these people around him couldn't hear it.

I can hear and guess, and in line with the principle that more things are better than less things, I naturally want to avoid them far away.

At the same time, Liu Yuan didn't say some things, he also promised Xia Lingling one thing, to bring him the secret book of witch annihilation from the Bodhisattva of the Northwest Mountain, and now he still succeeds.

It's a pity that it's too late when I return to Qingchuan, and Dade County is now a different person, and the leader has already changed.

As for Xia Lingling's whereabouts, Liu Yuan was not very good at asking Chai Tingshan at that time, and he wanted to wait for his father's illness to be cured, so he could find it in this southwest road.

The former was defeated and fled from King's Landing, and it is very likely that he returned to Xiling Xia's house, and he has already promised others what he wants, and he will do his best to do it.

At the same time, Liu Yuan did not forget that there was a brother in that city, and because he was worried about his father's affairs, he didn't go to inquire about any news for a while.

But nothing can happen to think about it, the fate of the two will definitely meet again in the rivers and lakes.

They don't make a gesture of children when they are separated, they don't drink happily when they meet, and they eat with a mouthful of beef, and the sun shines on the big river.

After talking to Pei Jiao, Liu Yuan sat down alone with his back against the big tree, closed his eyes, pressed his hand on the handle of the knife, and lived the picture of the 'mountain wilderness' knife technique over and over again in his mind.

Since the last time I came to feel and practiced with Dan Tangerine, day by day, although Liu Yuan has never made a knife again, he has recalled it over and over again in his mind, but he can clearly feel his progress.

Now he carries two knives on his body, one hanging from his waist, which is a 'cold wave', and the other is 'Clear', which is still wrapped and carried behind his back like a burning stick.

At this time, he held the handle of the cold wave, in the dead of night, no one disturbed, only a chaotic crescent moon hung high in the sky, sprinkling Qinghui and Liu Yuan as companions.

Under such an environment, Liu Yuan seemed to feel the breath of the 'cold wave', and the veins between exhalation and inhalation were so clear, and there had never been a moment when Liu Yuan felt so real.

"No, I won't let you be silent for too long......" Liu Yuan's eyes closed slightly, his eyelashes were shaking slightly, and he muttered silently.

The next day, the day was bright, and the group continued on the road, also for unnecessary trouble, several people did not enter the city, only when the horses were forced to change horses and feed the horses, they would enter the city nearby.

Now is no exception, and the time has come to force it.

The city called 'Jiao Mang' in front of it is not big, it is estimated that it is larger than Qingchuan, and it is not considered the junction line between the Xiling Xia family and the Pingding King's sphere of influence.

There is no pressure to go into this city to rest and recuperate.

Recently, it happened to be a complicated period of crowds, and the guards guarding the city gate did not check much, so they let the group into the city.

At the same time, seeing that Liu Yuan and others were carrying weapons, they kindly pointed out a clear road to them, and set up a recruiting platform in the city, but if they have some ability, they can go to give it a try.

But just by the way, and then looked at the donkey that Liu Yuan was riding under his crotch, he felt that several people were a little unreliable.

After thanking the guards guarding the gate, Liu Yuan and a few people entered the city, and as for what Zhaoxiantai people were naturally not interested.

This is the boundary of the Xiling Xia family, and the road a few days ago has completely avoided the power of the Pingding King, and along the way, it almost encountered a marching army.

Dan Tang and his father were there, and they heard the movement in advance.

"It's a lively town. Dongzhu, the girl, followed Dan Tangerine, looking around, very curious.

In fact, there is nothing to see, wherever you go, the towns are similar, and the gap between the capital is bigger.

Unconsciously, Liu Yuan thought of the scene when he left the capital again.

"Alright, here it is. "There's an inn right next to me, so there's no need to go any further.

There are not many people living in the inn, maybe the time is wrong, everyone who has something to do has gone out, and there are not many people who have nothing to do, and there are not many people who have nothing to do.

The people who are still idle in the inn are all idlers who drink wine on a plate of peanuts, and they are chatting with the people next to them about the major events of the family and the country.

The posture of stepping on the stool with one foot, holding one hand high, and comparing and gesturing, is quite a bit of the posture of my generation in the world.

But the words that came out of his mouth made Liu Yuan shake his head, and there were few useful words, all of them were flashy and untruthful, and even his desire to find out some news was in vain.

After instructing the inn's little two to feed the horses with some good forage, a few people went up to the second floor, fortunately there were enough vacant rooms left, otherwise some would be crowded.

In the afternoon, people came back to the inn one after another, and the number of people in the house gradually increased.

The lobby seemed a little more lively, shouting, calling for food and wine, and Liu Yuan and the others upstairs couldn't calm down.

simply didn't rest, walked directly downstairs, merged in the middle of a few tables of people, ordered a pot of wine and listened.

After sitting in the position, Liu Yuan found that Pei Jiao had already been sitting on the side.

However, the two belonged to different positions, and the two looked at each other and said nothing, and the latter had no intention of coming over to sit, so I don't know what to think.

Liu Yuan didn't care about him, and listened attentively to the conversation of the people in front of him.

is talking about some of the new major sects in the southwest province, including the Tieshan Gang, which Liu Yuan is more familiar with.

It is said that it was the matter of the Sixteen Swords of the Broken Star back then that made the Iron Mountain Gang and the Xiling Xia family a little stiff, and now it is not why they have reconciled again, and the relationship is deeper than before.

"Reconciliation? Heh, it's not like the old gang leader of the Iron Mountain Gang suddenly came out of the customs, and he actually practiced to the highest level of the Golden Essence Technique, everything is about strength, where did the reconciliation come from. ”

One shook his head and told the secret of his hearsay.

"Can this old gang leader still be as powerful as the Xia family?"

"This ......," the man hesitated.

After a long pause, he said again: "It's hard to say, it's hard to say." ”

"That's it, let's not talk about these gang things, now that the war is tight, we really have to fight with the imperial court, and it's not that our people are suffering. ”

"Ha? fight, it's impossible to fight, the mountain master of Ziwei Mountain, Chu Mu, who ranks third on the list of masters of the rivers and lakes, can you know that he wants to be the real king of Pingding......
