Chapter 130 Sword Rivers and Lakes: Speculation
Zhang Peng and the three of them, under the leadership of the shopkeeper, came to a guest room on the second floor, Zhang Jie finally walked in, turned around and looked around, and then carefully closed the door.
The room is not large, facing the door is a large ondol, and there is a small table on top of the kang for drinking and eating.
This is the characteristic of the Northwest region, because the weather is too cold, so the table is moved directly to the ondol. There are no extra chairs in the room, so if you want to rest, you can only sit on the kang.
Zhang Peng and the others turned over on the kang and a warmth came from under his body, making Zheng Yingjun stretch his waist involuntarily.
The shopkeeper sat respectfully on the edge of the kang and asked softly, "How many masters, do you have anything to ask the little one?"
Zhang Peng nodded, didn't detour anymore, and said directly: "What the friend said just now is clear, and you know my identity, so the purpose of my coming here must be as bright as a mirror in your heart." ”
"A few masters, what do you mean by this, the small one is a businessman who does his duty!"
The shopkeeper hurriedly stood up and arched his hand, as if he was afraid that the people in front of him would take their anger out on him.
Zhang Peng smiled and waved his hand, motioned for the shopkeeper to sit down, and said with a smile: "The shopkeeper is a little restless! You know, it's good, but it also saves me a lot of saliva, I don't hide it, I want to ask you about someone!"
As soon as Zhang Peng's words came out, the shrewd shopkeeper thought that what Zhang Peng wanted to inquire about was probably the thief. It's just that I know this matter in my heart, and of course the shopkeeper won't be stupid to say it.
"This master, you say! The little one must know everything, and he must say everything!"
Zhang Peng nodded, then put away his smile, and said solemnly: "What I am looking for is a man who is seven feet tall and about forty years old, this person has two mustaches on his face, and this person's left leg is lame!"
Zhang Peng told all the characteristics of the thief in one breath, and looking at it like this, he also had no patience to go around in circles.
After listening to Zhang Peng's words, the shopkeeper was stunned at first, and then frowned, as if he was recalling something.
"If you dare to make the slightest omission, don't blame the uncle, I'm not angry today, I'll take you under the knife!" Zheng Yingjun sneered.
"Oh, look at what you said, even if I give me ten guts, the little ones don't dare to hide a few of you!" the shopkeeper immediately smiled bitterly.
Zhang Peng smiled faintly: "Don't worry, the shopkeeper will recall it well!"
The shopkeeper nodded, then stroked his beard with his hand, and said, "Don't think about it, I've seen this person!"
As soon as the shopkeeper's words came out, they immediately attracted the interest of Zhang Peng and the others, and they all looked at the shopkeeper, waiting for him to continue.
The shopkeeper was stared at by Zhang Peng and the three of them a little uncomfortable, slowly swallowed a mouthful of spit, coughed dryly twice, and then said: "About half a month ago, I did come here like this, and it was exactly the same as what you said!"
"Oh?" Zhang Peng's eyes lit up, and he said secretly: It seems that the thief really came here to find a treasure!
Zheng Yingjun narrowed his eyes, looked at the shopkeeper, and said urgently: "Go on!"
The shopkeeper hurriedly nodded and said, "The man only stayed with me for one night, and he left the next day!
"Sure enough!" Zheng Yingjun sneered, "That person's courage is really great!"
Zhang Peng looked at the shopkeeper's eyes, as if he wanted to see something from the shopkeeper's eyes, but no matter how Zhang Peng looked at it, there was nothing left in the shopkeeper's eyes except fear.
"What he said should be true!" Zhang Jie said softly.
Zhang Peng nodded and said, "Thank you shopkeeper, you can take this money, remember, don't mention this matter to anyone again!"
Saying that, Zhang Peng took out a bag of money and stuffed it into the shopkeeper's hand, and the shopkeeper wanted to shirk it, but was pressed by Zhang Peng's hand and couldn't move, so he could only accept it with a wry smile.
"Don't worry, this master, I swear that I will never mention this matter to others again!"
Hearing the shopkeeper's assurance, Zhang Peng let go of the shopkeeper's hand with a smile, and then said: "Then we won't bother you, just go and get busy!"
The person in charge responded yes, and walked towards the door tremblingly, and when he opened the door, Zheng Yingjun's indifferent voice came from behind him.
"At this time, if a fifth person knows, I will keep your head on the ground!"
The death-like voice made the shopkeeper tremble, then nodded hurriedly, and walked out quickly.
The shopkeeper walked out of the room, only to feel that the clothes on his back were soaked with sweat, although Zhang Peng and the others had been smiling just now, but the invisible pressure really made him feel breathless.
When the shopkeeper passed a guest room on the second floor, the door of the guest room was slammed open, and the shopkeeper was frightened, and then he saw the mysterious man who had just fought with Zheng Yingjun standing at the door, and his eyes under the black veil seemed to be looking directly at the shopkeeper.
"This... This lord, you.."
The mysterious swordsman suddenly smiled softly and said lightly: "Go and help me get a pot of water, I want to scrub it!"
Hearing this, the shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly fetched water.
However, this mysterious swordsman glanced strangely at Zhang Peng's room, and then retreated back to the room, and closed the room door with a "pop!"
Zhang Peng's room.
"Peng, what do you think about this matter?" Zhang Jie asked first.
Zhang Peng frowned, and said coldly: "I don't know, I feel like things are getting worse."

The more complicated it is!"
At this moment, Zheng Yingjun was frowning and talking to himself, his voice was very small, and he couldn't hear what he was muttering!
Zhang Peng glanced at Zheng Yingjun curiously, and asked, "Fatty, what are you doing?"
Hearing Zhang Peng's question, Zheng Yingjun muttered and said, "I always feel that the mysterious swordsman just now seems to have seen it somewhere, but I can't remember anything!"
"You just fought for a short time just now, and that person didn't even pull out his sword, and he was wearing a black veil, so it's normal that he can't recognize it!" Zhang Peng said with relief.
Zheng Yingjun shook his head, looking unwilling.
"I have seen it, I must have seen it somewhere! Why can't I remember?"
Zhang Jie glanced at Zheng Yingjie helplessly, and then turned to Zhang Peng and said, "I don't dare to say anything else, but this person is definitely friend or foe!"
Zhang Peng nodded solemnly and said: "Yes, if this matter is announced to the public in broad daylight, then it will definitely not be our friend! It's just that I'm wondering what his intentions are? If he is also for the treasure map, then he shouldn't pick this matter up, wouldn't it be better for him to succeed alone? It is not easy for him to succeed when there are more people!"
Zhang Jie's eyes gathered, looked at Zhang Peng, and said in a low voice, "What do you mean?"
"I mean, this person probably didn't come for the treasure map!"
"Oh?" Zheng Yingjun shook his big head and looked at Zhang Peng suspiciously, "It's not for the treasure map, why did you come here?"
Zhang Peng first frowned and thought about something, then slowly raised his head and stretched out his finger to point at the three of them.
"For us!"
"What.." Zheng Yingjun shouted out suddenly, Zhang Jie hurriedly slapped Zheng Yingjun with his hand, Zheng Yingjun lowered his voice and asked softly, "What do you mean by coming for us?"
Zhang Peng patted his head with his hand and said slowly: "I don't know, maybe it's to make trouble for us!"
"Then you mean that that person may be from the Zejun faction?" Zhang Jie asked.
Zhang Peng shook his head with a smile: "Maybe! But not necessarily, after all, Zejun's deliberate trouble for us is still our speculation! Everything, it is still too early to make a conclusion at this time!"
Zheng Yingjun's fat palm rubbed his chin, and said with a smile: "Things are really getting more and more interesting!"
"Could this be a trap?" Zhang Jie suddenly said.
Zhang Peng frowned, looked at Zhang Jie, and asked, "Why do you say that?"
Zhang Jie opened his mouth while thinking about it: " All of this is too strange, first we made an agreement with the five major sects, and then we wanted to go to Yunxue City to seek a desert worship, and then it happened that the treasure map of Yunxue City was stolen, this news actually spread, and the entire rivers and lakes knew about it, and Zejun also took this as the topic, let us recover the treasure map, but unfortunately, all the people and horses on the rivers and lakes have the intention of making a windfall, after hearing the amount of this treasure, they completely ignored the majesty of Yunxue City, and came here thousands of miles, if it is a small number of people, it is okay, but now it seems that this matter has caused an uproar in the rivers and lakesToday, another mysterious swordsman has appeared, and he has directly put this matter on the table, and now he can't hide it even if he wants to! And now we are directly pushed to the cusp, either giving up the desert and giving up the opportunity to enter the first-class forces in the rivers and lakes, or we will be the enemy of these people and horses who come to hunt for treasures, and become the target of the public!"
"Hiss!" Zhang Jie's words made Zhang Peng and Zheng Yingjun feel palpitations, this is simply a plan to kill two birds with one stone, it is really very vicious!
"So, we still fell for someone else's conspiracy? But I'm curious, who is playing this game of chess? If it's Zejun of Yunxue City, then I don't understand, how much benefit he has taken from Luoxia Valley, so he will be willing to help them arrange such a game? Also, if we break the kettle and give up the desert worship, then is this treasure map Zejun really willing to be taken away by others? Isn't this a resounding slap in the face to Yunxue City? The more I think about it, the more impossible it becomes!" Zheng Yingjun said angrily.
When Zheng Yingjun said this, Zhang Jie was also speechless for a while. Indeed, Zheng Yingjun's words must be said to be very reasonable, no matter how stupid Zejun is, he will not be stupid enough to joke about the reputation of Cloud Snow City.
Zhang Peng also felt that his head was full of wontons at the moment, and the situation in front of him really made him feel very tricky.
Just when the three of them were thinking about it, Zhang Peng's pupils suddenly gathered, and then a look of shock that could not be concealed surged on his face, Zhang Jie and Zheng Yingjun looked at Zhang Peng curiously.
"Peng?"
Zhang Peng waved his hand suddenly to stop Zhang Jie's words, then raised his head, looked at Zhang Jie and Zheng Yingjun with a solemn face, and said a word that surprised the two of them from Zhang Peng's mouth.
"What if, the person who really controls this game of chess is not Zejun, the city lord of Cloud Snow City, but someone else?"
In the evening of the same day, Jian Zhang Peng and the others received another piece of news, that is, Zejun sent another Huoyunwei back.
Regarding this matter, Zhang Peng did not ask much, and Yeluqi did not take the initiative to explain.
At night, in the room of the Kuoshan Inn.
The candle flame "beeps and beeps" danced, illuminating this small guest room even more mysteriously.
Zhang Peng, Zhang Jie and Zheng Yingjun were sitting cross-legged on the kang at the moment, discussing something, and the three of them were frowning at the moment.
"Peng, we will leave for Hucheng tomorrow, we are not familiar with the people in this area, will there be any more changes?" Zheng Yingjun asked in a low voice.
Zhang Peng played with the Ghost Yuan Sword in his hand, and did not answer, but raised it
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
He looked at Zhang Jie.
"Applejack, this is really strange, we have to take precautions early!"
A gleam flashed in Zhang Jie's eyes, and he asked softly, "What do you mean?"
"I want you to quietly follow behind the Huoyun Guard who left here all the way to see what he is trying to do!" Zhang Peng said solemnly, "Once things change, you can hurry back to the Burial Sword Tower, tell them everything here, and let Yajun and them take more precautions! I think with Yajun's intelligence and the deterrence of the Dragon Villa, there won't be much change in Luoyang City!"
After listening to Zhang Peng's words, Zhang Jie immediately waved his hand and said resolutely: "No, I'm leaving, what should you do?"
Zhang Peng looked at Zhang Jie, smiled slightly, and insisted: "Ajie, now we are in the light, and the enemy is in the dark! There are too many unknowns and variables here, if the three of us stay together all the time, I am afraid that we will be calculated by others at that time! If my prediction is correct, this Yeluqi will send back a Huoyunwei every once in a while, in order to report our whereabouts to Duo Ze. As for the purpose, I don't know yet, but I don't think it's going to be a good thing!"
Zhang Jie turned his head to look at Zheng Yingjun and said, "Peng's words are not unreasonable! It's better to let Brother Zheng go back, and I'll stay to help you deal with this situation!"
As soon as these words came out, Zheng Yingjun hurriedly waved his big hand and said in an urn voice: "No, no, no! I'm too sloppy, it's better for you to be cautious, let me follow people, then I will definitely be discovered!"
Hearing Zheng Yingjun's words, Zhang Jie wanted to argue again, but was interrupted by Zhang Peng with a smile: "What the fat man said is exact, among the three of us, only you can do this, you don't have to worry about us, the fat man and I will improvise!"
Zheng Yingjun smiled and said: "Ajie, don't worry, isn't it just chasing a thief? It's enough to have me and Peng, you can go and investigate this matter with peace of mind, and when we catch the thief, we will enter the customs and make peace with you!"
Zhang Jie couldn't twist Zhang Peng and Zheng Yingjun, sighed lightly, and said: "Okay! It's okay to disperse, just in case! But once I find out about the change, I will rush back immediately, you don't have to persuade again!"
Zhang Peng nodded and said, "Okay!"
A Zhang Jie took a deep breath and said softly: "Without further ado, I'll leave!"
After that, Zhang Jie poured a sip of wine, lifted the short sword on the table, walked to the door, and said without looking back: "You guys be careful!
Zhang Peng and Zheng Yingjun also looked at Zhang Jie with a solemn face, and said in unison: "Be careful in everything!"
Zhang Jie nodded his head, then opened the door silently, and then quietly slipped out like a fish, and there was no movement in the blink of an eye!
Zheng Yingjun looked at the door and said with emotion: "It's a pity that Applejack doesn't become a killer!
Zhang Peng just smiled faintly, but didn't say much. sighed in my heart: The next thing I have to face is the real line of life and death!
Thinking of this, Zhang Peng unconsciously remembered Xu Yuan's words in Yunxue City, this time, there is no life!
"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge! No matter how much we think, it is useless, and when we catch up with the thief, everything will be clear! No matter what tricks there are, we will just take them!"
Zheng Yingjun laughed when he heard this, and then he pushed the cup with Zhang Peng to change the lamp, and the haze of Shi Cai completely faded.
There was nothing to say all night, and the next day it was dawn.
The genius was bright, and Zhang Peng's door was knocked on "bang bang"!
At this time, Zhang Peng had already gotten up and cleaned up properly, but Zheng Yingjun was still sleeping on the kang holding a wine jar.
"Squeak!"
With a soft sound, Zhang Peng opened the door, but saw Yeluqi standing at the door with the remaining three Huoyun Guards, Yeluqi's face was full of smiles.
"Master Zhang, how are you resting?"
Zhang Peng nodded, then stepped aside and invited the four of them into the room.
After Yeluqi entered the room, he looked around, and when he didn't see Zhang Jie, he couldn't help frowning, and asked, "Master Zhang, where is the impermanence Yama?"
Zhang Peng smiled lightly and said: "If there is something, go back to the Central Plains for the time being!"
"What?" exclaimed.
With this sound, Zheng Yingjun, who was still snoring in bed, woke up all of a sudden. Zheng Yingjun sat up straight all of a sudden, looking at the surrounding situation with sleepy eyes, and when he saw Yeluqi, a trace of impatience flashed on his face.
"Early in the morning, you scream a fart!"
Hearing Zheng Yingjun's scolding, Yeluqi's face changed, but he didn't get angry, just looked at Zhang Peng and asked, "When did Impermanence Yama leave?"
Seeing Yeluqi's expression, Zhang Peng raised his eyebrows, looked at Yeluqi with a smile, and asked rhetorically, "Do I need to tell you?"
Yeluqi suddenly realized that he had lost his words, and hurriedly apologized: "Master Zhang, I didn't mean that! I mean, we are about to catch up with that thief, and at this time, Impermanence Yama is leaving, isn't there a big master missing from our side!"
"What kind of is this?" Lu Renjia moved his body and got off the kang, rubbing his sleepy eyes, and walked towards Yeluqi, "Aren't we human? A little thief, how can he use the three of us!"
Yeluqi first looked in a trance, and then sighed lightly: "Okay! I'm too nervous! Since the Impermanent Yama is gone, let's go too!"
Zhang Peng nodded, and the few people didn't delay any longer, simply cleaned up, and then left the Kunshan Inn together, heading in the direction of Hucheng!
