Chapter 19 Intentions
The moment he flew out of the window, Yan Jingchen collapsed. He was thinking that he must be blind to figure out such an unreliable plan with Zhang Daohong.
On the street outside the inn, with the sound of broken windows, Yan Jingchen's flying body fell to the ground, and he was immediately surrounded by the crowd watching the excitement.
On the windowsill of a guest room in the Xianyuan Inn, Zhang Daohong sneakily poked out half of his head and peeked down a few times.
"What are you two doing, I thought you were bewitched by the flower spirits. ”
Although there was no hint of apology in her tone, the woman's gesture of bowing her head and wrapping her fingers said it all.
Zhang Daohong was speechless for a while, and it was difficult to explain to the woman in front of him, so he said casually: "Let's fish out Brother Yan first." ”
A pair of handsome men and beautiful women squeezed through the crowd and dragged Yan Jingchen out from under the wooden plank.
"Hurry up, hurry away! It's a shame. ”
Escaping from the eyes of pedestrians on the road, Yan Jingchen, under the cover of the two of them, held half of the door panel to block his face, hurriedly turned into a secluded alley, threw away the door panel in his hand, and got out from the other end of the alley.
"You harmful goblin, you don't know how serious it is. ”
"Whoever told you to hide behind the door, sneaking around didn't have a good heart. ”
"I didn't have a good heart, I wouldn't have gone to you last night. ”
......
Out of the alley, Yan Jingchen and the woman began to quarrel. Zhang Daohong hurriedly interrupted, "Don't make any noise, today's theme is to visit the mountains and rivers, and you are not allowed to mention unhappy things." ”
"Okay, I'm going to go boating on Rouge Lake, Brother Daohong. The woman just looked like she was eating people, and when she heard about the tour of the mountains and rivers, she immediately jumped up excitedly.
The Rouge Lake in the daytime, the willow trees by the lake are only left with their branches swaying in the wind. It's not as brightly lit as at night, but it's still full of people.
Two men and a woman take a boat into the lake to enjoy the swimming, the woman is smiling and beautiful, everything here can arouse her interest. The boat rowed off the lake and rippled layer by layer, Zhang Daohong shook the boat and looked at the woman jumping on the bow of the boat, and countless ripples appeared in his heart.
Yan Jingchen saw Zhang Daohong's performance, and remembered the conspiracy between the two in the guest room, and asked ruthlessly: "Forgive me for taking the liberty of being presumptuous, please also ask the name of the fairy." ”
When the woman heard the question, she immediately cast an unkind look, Yan Jingchen smiled and said: "The first few things were my fault, and please don't blame the fairy." ”
Zhang Daohong also hurriedly echoed and played a round game.
"It's okay to tell you, Miss Ben's name is Lu Qingyao, and she is from Immortal Emperor City. ”
Yan Jingchen and Zhang Daohong heard the name of Immortal Emperor City, they both glanced at each other, and Zhang Daohong asked: "I am planning to go to Immortal Emperor City with Brother Yan, I don't know if I will be lucky enough to go together." ”
Lu Qingyao shook his head after hearing this, and pouted: "What's so interesting in Immortal Emperor City, everyone in it is boring to die, I don't plan to go back." After watching the battle of the Cloud Dragon Banner, I still have to go to Dongyang City and Yong'an City......"
As the prefectures and counties reported out, Lu Qingyao's interest increased a little, so he said to Zhang Daohong: "Brother Daohong, do you want to travel to the mainland with me." ”
Yan Jingchen was afraid that Zhang Daohong would agree, so he hurriedly interjected: "We are going to the five major sects of Immortal Emperor City to participate in the sect entry ceremony, and I am afraid that we will not be able to go with Fairy Qingyao." ”
"It's okay, you guys have played with me enough first, and when the time comes, I'll let you join the sect when I go back to Immortal Emperor City." As soon as the words came out, Lu Qingyao hurriedly covered her lips lightly, changed her words and said, "That's the case, then you can go." ”
Zhang Daohong is so shrewd, listening to the meaning of Lu Qingyao's words, she may be a person from the five major sects, so he asked: "Sister Qingyao, since she is from Immortal Emperor City, she must be a profound cultivator, how could she fall into the hands of traitors?"
Lu Qingyao crossed her thin waist, "The human heart is sinister, this is the first time I have traveled to the mainland, I heard that there is a lively scene to see in the Dao City, so I came with it, who knew that the ugly monster used a trick and sealed my Dao power with a trapped spirit rope, otherwise with Miss Ben's cultivation, it would not be easy to catch him." ”
Yan Jingchen listened on the side, thinking of the embarrassed appearance when he rescued her today, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Lu Qingyao looked at Yan Jingchen, who was snickering, and said frantically: "It seems that if you don't show your hands, you won't believe it." ”
I saw her move lightly, stepping on the surface of the lake, and a column of water from the mouth of the bowl surged for no reason, and fell down again when it was about to touch the soles of her feet. Then there was another step, and the water column continued to rise, and her graceful and delicate posture danced in the air like a fairy.
Passers-by playing by the lake do not stop. At this time, Lu Qingyao, who was dancing in the air, was as beautiful as a legendary fairy, which made people love and awe, and even bowed down to worship, saying that the gods blessed her.
A huge column of water rose in the middle of the Rouge Lake, forming the appearance of a giant dragon in the air, Lu Qingyao stepped on the dragon's head and looked at the two people on the boat condescendingly, "You believe it this time." ”
What answered her was not the admiration of Yan Jingchen and Zhang Daohong, but a voice full of neutrality: "I am Li Wenbin, the assassin of the Sword City, who is using immortal magic in the city?"
Lu Qingyao dispersed the gathered dragon, landed on the bow of the boat, and opened his mouth to shout. Zhang Daohong hurriedly threw away the boat oars and ran over to cover her mouth, for fear that she would cause some trouble again.
Then a black mist-like figure galloped in, so fast that even the lake was divided. The black mist cleared, and an elegant-looking man dressed in the official uniform of the assassin was already standing at the stern of the ship.
Due to Li Wenbin's arrival, the boat swayed and almost capsized. The three of them grabbed each other to stabilize their figures. Yan Jingchen looked at the man in front of him and knew that he was standing in Liwei, but this time the effect was remarkable, and even Lu Qingyao, who was not afraid of the sky and the earth just now, was now standing obediently to the side.
Zhang Daohong took out an envelope from his cuff and handed it to Li Wenbin, and said respectfully, "The three of us traveled to Dao City, and the sister's naughtiness disturbed Lord Assassin Shi, and I hope that Lord Haihan will be there." ”
Li Wenbin opened the envelope and took out the letters inside, looked at it, and then said: "It turned out to be the son of the Zhang Jun Shou family, so let's stop here at this time." But I have to warn you that the city of knives hasn't been peaceful these days, so don't run around. ”
"Thank you for reminding me, my little nephew just came to watch the battle for the capture of the flag. ”
Li Wenbin laughed, and then said: "I heard that you won the leader of the Luoyu City runoff, it is really terrifying. The battle for the Capture of the Flag will begin tomorrow, and hopefully you will learn something from it. ”
With that, Li Wenbin tread the water and left.
At this time, the three people on the boat looked at each other, and none of them spoke first. After a while, the three of them spoke at the same time, and the atmosphere was slightly awkward.
In the end, it was Zhang Daohong who spoke first: "Let's say one by one, I'll come first, Jingchen second, and Qingyao last." Don't you think what Li Wenbin said is not peaceful, referring to our battle with the scar-faced man last night?"
Yan Jingchen was the second to say: "The assassins of the Yunzhou Empire are all members of the Li clan of the imperial family, won't we expose our whereabouts?"
After listening to these two people, Lu Qingyao did not speak. Zhang Daohong asked, "What were you going to say just now?"
Lu Qingyao lowered her head and said timidly: "After swimming in the lake, where will you eat?"
After getting off the boat and returning to shore, the three of them found a quiet tavern and sat down.
Lu Qingyao called the shopkeeper, ordered a table of dishes with ease, and said with a big grin: "You don't know, there is no restaurant in Immortal Emperor City, and the people there are all freaks and never eat. ”
Yan Jingchen continued: "Immortal Emperor City is not allowed to enter mortals, so naturally there is no need to open a restaurant. ”
Lu Qingyao was not happy when she heard this, and immediately argued: "Why is it your business everywhere, what's wrong with the monk, shouldn't the monk not eat grains?"
Seeing that Lu Qingyao was about to go crazy again, Yan Jingchen closed his mouth knowingly. Since saving Lu Qingyao, Yan Jingchen has never had the upper hand in quarrels, no way, who made the family a girl.
Zhang Daohong had a very uncomfortable day, and he had been sandwiched between the two of them to play a round, and he was about to form a conditioned reflex, seeing that things were not good, he interjected: "Let go of the problem of eating first, let's talk about the things in front of us." ”
Lu Qingyao changed her excited expression and said, "Say! What secrets are hidden in the two of you, are you being hunted down?" ”
Yan Jingchen didn't answer, Zhang Daohong had no choice but to say: "You may not know if you have lived in Immortal Emperor City for a long time, the current situation in the Yunzhou Empire is a bit complicated, although the history of each state and county is one family, but after a long time, the blood relationship will inevitably fade, especially the neighboring states and counties look down on each other." Therefore, Li Wenbin will not expose our whereabouts at all, and may be very good at covering up for us. ”
"Then what have you done to hurt the heavens and reason, for fear of being discovered. ”
When Lu Qingyao said that it hurts the heavens and harms reason, Yan Jingchen's face immediately became gloomy, and he said in a deep voice: "If you don't know something, don't comment on it, who is hurting the heavens and harming the reason, there is a heavenly judgment." ”
It was really a wave of unsettled, Zhang Daohong didn't wait for Lu Qingyao to refute this time, and hurriedly said: "Speaking of which, I'm still more worried about what happened last night." Don't forget that the inn is a mortal in charge of the wind, and now that Scarface is dead, if this matter is revealed, we will be at a loss for words. ”
"It's really troublesome, in our Immortal Emperor City, if we encounter this kind of scum, how many kills there are, what is there to worry about. ”
Yan Jingchen was surprisingly quiet this time, in addition to the contempt for this ignorant Lu Qingyao, he was more of a yearning for Immortal Emperor City.
Zhang Daohong took the trouble to instill in Lu Qingyao the basic common sense of the rules of survival outside the Immortal Emperor City, the difference between immortals and mortals, and so on.
In the end, the three agreed to say goodbye to the battle of the capture of the flag tomorrow and go their separate ways.
After visiting all the attractions of Dao City, the three of them returned to the Xianyuan Inn to repair, everything was waiting for tomorrow.
It was late at night, Yan Jingchen sat cross-legged on the bed, slowly exhaling and practicing, breathing his body.
Suddenly, the night sky shone brightly, illuminating the starry sky as black as day. For a while, the monks who were temporarily living in the city rushed out one after another, or walked through the air, or ran like flying, and everyone had only one goal, that is, where the Cloud Dragon Banner was located.
Yan Jingchen woke up Zhang Daohong, who was still asleep, and before he could speak, he heard a girl in the next room sound: "I know, this person who captured the flag will definitely do it at night." ”
