Chapter 147: Shadow Tracking
Li Zifeng didn't go directly to the Danfang to find Mingsu to check the almonds, but walked directly to the compound where he lived, and on a quiet stone road, Li Zifeng saw He Yi with flickering eyes.
This path is Li Zifeng's favorite road after moving to Shangqingyuan as a disciple, this path is on the left side of the rockery, on the right side of the hundred-year-old pine, on weekdays it is quiet and no one passes, and generally no one passes by, so he is very sure that He Yi is deliberately waiting for him here. Li Zifeng couldn't help frowning.
But Li Zifeng only hesitated for half a cup of tea, and then naturally walked over calmly, "Have something to say?"
He Yi looked around, saw that there was no figure, opened his mouth and didn't know where to start, Li Zifeng seemed to deliberately remind, "I don't know what happened to you recently, which made you so cringe." As he spoke, he stared at He Yi tightly, "But I still want to thank you for doing me a favor that night." ”
He Yi tentatively asked, "You know everything?"
Li Zifeng smiled and said, "What do you say?" As he spoke, Li Zifeng looked at He Yi with an inquiring gaze, expecting him to say something, even if it was to reveal something, but He Yi just kept his mouth shut tightly and didn't say anything.
Li Zifeng sighed heavily, "Come to me when you think about it!" I'll go back first, otherwise the head of the sect won't see me for a long time, and he should suspect that I have done something to upset him." ”
After that, Li Zifeng wiped He Yi's body and continued to walk, but before he took two steps, he was stopped by He Yi, and He Yi's voice was almost begging, "Senior brother, eat less almonds, it's not a good thing, it's addictive." Then, He Yi turned to leave, walking hurriedly, as if he was hiding from someone.
Li Zifeng sighed heavily......
Yeyang City, the sky is blue, the wind is beautiful, the streets are full of traffic, crowds of people, and the sound of small merchants and hawkers is endless. Ye Li held a delicate jade pendant in his hand, walked out from the main entrance of Yunxuan Pharmacy, and walked through the flow of people generously, having no time to take care of all kinds of novel objects in front of the stall, his steps were hurried, and he went straight to the end of Yeyang City, and he didn't seem to find the figure following behind him.
Walking through the end of the market street, the number of pedestrians gradually decreased, as if from the lively atmosphere directly into the quiet place, only the sparse figures, each walking towards their own destination, the figures under the high courtyard wall, pulled a long line on the ground.
Ye Li looked behind him from time to time, and saw that there was a person sneaky, it was Shi Xuan of Yunxuan Pharmacy, Shi Xuan was in his early twenties, and he was quite simple. It's just that...... Ye Li thought about it and sighed helplessly, Shi Xuan saw Ye Li turn around, so he pretended to be unconscious looking at the snacks sold in the scattered stalls on the street.
But all this did not escape Ye Li's eyes, Ye Li looked at his dodging gaze and deliberately hidden figure, an indifferent smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then continued to walk forward.
Seeing this, Shi Xuan behind him immediately hurriedly followed, walked through the narrow alley, turned several corners, and finally saw the Hengxiang Inn that Shen Zhiping said. The inn is a little dilapidated, the wooden door is a little painted, and on the crumbling plaque above, the words 'Hengxiang Inn' are vague
When Ye Li saw such an inn, he was helpless in his heart, and he didn't know how Uncle Shen thought of this inn, it was really ...... Ye Li sighed helplessly again. Then, he deliberately stayed at the door for a while to check around, and then walked into the inn, Shi Xuan stepped forward quietly, and was afraid of being discovered, so he could only hide in a hidden place outside the door and eavesdrop.
Ye Li walked in, went to the front desk and met the shopkeeper directly, the shopkeeper was an uncle who was not confused for more than a year, named Qian Zheng, with gray hair, a neat beard on his chin, wearing dark blue clothes, standing in front of the stage and fiddling with the abacus, the abacus beads 'crackling'.
Ye Li directly took out the jade pendant that Shen Zhiping gave him before and put it in front of him, "Shopkeeper, I want to ask you something." ”
"What's the matter?" Qian Zheng was still fiddling with the abacus in his hand, and his eyelids didn't even rise, "What's the matter!"
Ye Li pretended to look outside unconsciously, and deliberately said in his throat, "Boss Shen of Yunxuan Pharmacy wants to ask you to help deliver some refreshments, and he is also bothered by the shopkeeper's convenience." ”
"Boss Shen of Yunxuan Pharmacy?" Qian Zheng stopped what he was doing, looked up slightly and saw the jade pendant on the table, the jade pendant was white, finely carved with the word 'Shen', and a light yellow tassel hung at the bottom, as soon as Qian Zheng saw the jade pendant, he instantly understood something, and raised his head and looked at Ye Li carefully, "Hmm... It's a little familiar, are you really Boss Shen's side?'
Ye Li nodded, and Qian Zheng continued, "Is Boss Shen stumbling up on something?"
"Definitely. Ye Li responded, his eyes unconsciously looking at the persistent figure outside the door, Qian Zheng followed his gaze, and smiled, "Boss Shen's subordinates are really full of talents! ”
"That's ......" Ye Li said, his voice gradually became quieter, Shi Xuan, who was eavesdropping outside the door, frowned, and cold sweat continued to appear on his forehead, wanting to listen carefully, but suffering from not being able to hear. I can only do it in a hurry.
After waiting like this for more than half an hour, there was gradually no sound inside, Shi Xuan couldn't help but be a little strange, pretending to be a passerby, walking along the door of the inn, his eyes looked secretly, and his heart was suddenly shocked, Ye Li disappeared!
Finally couldn't bear it anymore, Shi Xuan hurriedly walked into the inn and went straight to the front of the stage, "Shopkeeper, please ask you something, may I ask the man who talked to you just now?"
Qian Zheng glanced at Shi Xuan, "There are many people talking to me, which one are you asking?"
Shi Xuan hurriedly gestured, "It's so tall, about the same age as me, just now, about half an hour ago, I was still talking to you here." ”
Qian Zheng raised his head and stared at Shi Xuan tightly, "Who is this guest officer, why do you want to inquire about him?"
"Oh, we are all from Yunxuan Pharmacy, I am new here, and the road is unfamiliar, so I came out with him to purchase items, familiar with the situation, who knew that he was walking too fast, so he didn't keep up with ......"
Qian was expressionless, patiently listening to his clumsy explanation, brushing his chin and beard, "This guest officer, I'm really sorry, I've been too busy lately, and there are too many people coming and going, I really don't remember who and when they came here, what they said to me, I'm sorry, I can't help you, why don't you go out and ask others, maybe they see your companion?"
Shi Xuan gritted his teeth and couldn't say anything, so he had to give up and turn away. Not long after he left, Ye Li walked out of a corner behind Qian Zheng with a solemn expression.
