After calming everyone and letting them pass first, Zhao Wu'an finally caught up with the large army at sunset.

"Then the master really let you go?" Reuniting with Zhao Wu'an, Duan Taoli was not only happy, but also a little incredible, "I thought you could only run over while it was dark." ”

Zhao Wu'an smiled bitterly: "I don't know what he is thinking, I stared at him for two hours, and he said that the sword qi was exhausted, and he let me pass." ”

Dai Lou Duyun snorted, "The sword qi is overwhelming. That's not a good thing for you. ”

Zhao Wu'an didn't say anything, but tightened the sword box on his back to show his dissatisfaction.

At this time, it was already in the waning mountains. The road of Shu Road, even if it is walked on a full moon day, is thrilling. Therefore, except for them on the road at this time, there are no pedestrians for a long time, but there are many people with lanterns near and far, waiting for guests to stay.

Mrs. An muttered: "Since it is late at this time, and it is less than half a day's journey from Shiniu Road, we might as well rest on the mountain for the night and go down tomorrow morning." ”

Zhao Wu'an pondered for a while and did not object.

I found a clean house at random, paid for accommodation and dinner with broken silver, and the hospitable store made two more meats, four dishes and a soup on the table, the color was gorgeous, and a meal was quite delicious.

After dinner, it was time to go back to the house and rest. After several days of trekking through hundreds of miles of dangerous plank roads, the journey was tiring, and people wished they could lie down and fall asleep.

Duan Taoli thought so and did so. Although Mrs. An was worried about An Qing in her heart, she walked through the hundred-mile plank road after a long illness, and she was tired after all. After making the bed, as soon as I lay down, I soon fell into a deep sleep, and even made a slight snoring sound. An Guangmao took care of his luggage for a while, but soon he couldn't support it anymore and fell asleep with his clothes together.

Annan was left to check the luggage that had been reduced to the limit for them, and then gently closed the door and walked into the courtyard, sighing deeply.

It's not that he doesn't feel tired. Those who dare to speak out without getting tired after walking through that bumpy and long plank road have at least reached the realm of Hu Buxi and Zhao Wu'an.

However, although his body was tired, it involved him more than that, but it still happened a lot along the way.

Annan was not a dull man. can be the famous Lan Zhouzi and the throne of the Greedy Demon Palace, along the way, Annan has always been able to keenly smell opportunities and firmly grasp them. Although he is low-key, Annan's scheming is not inferior to that of Dai Lou Duyun

Since entering Shu, all kinds of signs have made him vaguely feel that everything is not as simple as it seems.

What kind of person is going to rob An Qing and force Zhao Wu'an to enter Shu?

Wen Chuanyu is of course the most likely to do so, both with a motive and a match with the characteristics of the murderer. However, since he appeared in the backyard of An's house in person and confessed his original plan to Zhao Wu'an, it was tantamount to clearing all suspicions.

With Wen Chuanyu's temperament, even if he died in front of Zhao Wu'an, I am afraid that it would be impossible to make such a ridiculous act of slapping himself first and then implementing the plan as it was.

In other words, Wen Chuanyu is also the least likely person to do this. And the one who took over Wen Chuanyu's plan and kidnapped An Qing to force Zhao Wu'an to enter Shu must have someone else.

Having said that, Wen Chuanyu has not appeared until this time, and it has to be said that it is a suspicious point. The speed at which everyone entered Shu was slow enough, it was impossible for him not to catch up, since he hadn't done anything wrong, why didn't he show up for a long time?

Just as he was thinking about it, the door of Zhao Wu'an's room suddenly opened.

Under the moon, the white-clothed layman slowly paced out. When he looked up and saw Annan, he was obviously stunned as well.

Looking at each other, it was Annan who broke the silence first: "Are you awake too?"

Zhao Wuan laughed at himself: "I can't sleep." ”

Annan pondered for a long time, and saw that Zhao Wu'an didn't continue to explain, but just paced to the center of the small courtyard as if looking up to admire the moon, and then asked cautiously: "Because you are almost in Jinguan City, so nervous?"

Zhao Wu'an pondered: "Nervousness can't be said. It's just that over the years, how many stories are about to come to an end after all. ”

"Story?"

"Many, many stories. Zhao Wu'an's face was indifferent, "With the old people, with the seniors, and with the old friends." Well, and An Qing. ”

Annan only felt that his heart was beating to his throat, and he pretended to be meaningless: "An Qing's matter, you have eyebrows?"

Zhao Wuan shook his head slowly.

"It's a shame. I have almost figured out a lot of things, but I have no clue about An Qing. He said lightly, "Do you have any opinions?"

Annan was stunned for a moment and said embarrassedly: "I just think...... It's not that simple. ”

A seemingly simple matter, but it is not clear from both positive and negative perspectives, then there must be something hidden.

Zhao Wu'an nodded: "Maybe so." See that light?"

He lowered his head, but quietly reached out and pointed to the top of his head. Annan followed the instructions and saw the small building on the west side of the courtyard, with a bright candle lit through the window of the second-floor pavilion.

He pondered: "It's probably the shopkeeper holding the lamp, we have just arrived, and we don't leave in the courtyard, so it's a little worrying......"

"These people have lived on the side of the mountain road for an unknown number of years, and when they raise their arms, they are brothers who can carry axes to help for twenty miles in front and back. Zhao Wu'an said unexpectedly, "Since you took us in, and you know that we are going to the martial arts conference, you shouldn't have this boring mind." If we have the heart to make this profit, fight hard, and end up with death, the Ten Wishes Monks and the government will be held accountable, and it is not us who will suffer?"

Annan was stunned: "But these mountain people may think so......"

"The area in Shuzhong is the most admired for the merits of the Ten Wish Monks. Zhao Wu'an said, "This family can't see the slightest trace of Buddha." Not only that, but the straw in the backyard pigsty is also new, and few of them are broken. The brightness of this lamp is not like the oil of the Central Plains. ”

“...... What does this mean?" Annan did not know.

"They're not the people who live here. Zhao Wu'an said in a low voice, "This room was temporarily occupied. The oil burned by that lamp was a thousand miles of ointment, which could be glimpsed even thousands of miles away in the dark night, and there was a message that spread thousands of miles. The leaf-making spies carried this lamp oil with them, and when they received the news, they were burned to ashes by the flames of the thousand miles of ointment. ”

Annan was stunned: "Make leaves?"

Zhao Wu'an glanced at him mysteriously.

"We're being targeted. The owner of the shop is writing the news now, I don't know who to pass it on, most of them are people from Jinguan City. ”

"But we don't know anyone else in Jinguan City......"

"You don't, I do. Zhao Wu'an continued to say mysteriously.

"So what should we do now?" Annan broke out in a cold sweat.

Zhao Wu'an was silent for a while, then suddenly straightened up and stretched.

"Let him go. Anyway, just this family, they can't kill us. Let's talk about the big thing when it comes to Jinguancheng. ”

After saying that, he walked into the room without looking back, and slammed the door behind him.

Annan stood alone in the courtyard for a long time before he came back to his senses and ran into his house as fast as he could. The situation seemed more complicated than he thought.

Without even taking off his clothes, Annan fell asleep hastily and dreamed a lot of things all night. When I opened my eyes again, it was already dawn.

There was obviously nothing to say all night. When Annan rubbed his eyes and walked out of the door, he saw Zhao Wu'an standing in the courtyard and thanking his master, as if he was not the one who talked to Annan under the moon last night.

After saying goodbye to the store where they had stayed overnight, everyone continued on their way. After traveling for twenty miles, when the sun was in the middle and the world was melting and warm, I finally went down to Shiniu Road.

At this point, there is no more dangerous road. On the official road, the flow of chariots and horses also quickly became abundant, and most of them were driven by vehicles from Jinguan to various parts of Hanzhong.

Annan kept an eye on it, paying close attention to Zhao Wu'an's every move, but found that he was no different from before, and couldn't help frowning.

If this is the case, then what is Zhao Wu'an's intention in mentioning leaf making in front of him last night?

——————

Ten miles outside Jinguan City, there are eight hundred Shengsang. The green clouds are thick, cascading like a screen.

The pale white shadows of the trees shrouded in the path of the road, riding a light dust. The man on horseback clamped his legs around the horse's belly, and although he was in the thin snow, he moved forward like a fly.

After January, a much-anticipated conference will be staged in Jinguan City. Although there is a risk of subverting the current martial arts pattern in the Central Plains, it is also a big opportunity that is rare in several years. I don't know how many people are gearing up here, intending to take advantage of this opportunity to become famous in one fell swoop.

Zhao Wu'an is right, within five years, Shu will become the world's attention.

And this prophecy came true much faster than expected.

Although he was finally able to gain a firm foothold in Shu after hardships, there was still too little time left for Li Huang to operate.

To this day, in addition to meeting with the Ten Wish Monks of Shudi once, Li Huanglai is only left with a group of friends of the mean, and the last hole card that will never be used unless it is absolutely necessary.

At the end of the ten-mile mulberry forest, a person dressed as a scholar held a folding fan and stood with a smile.

Only ten steps away from him, Li Huang came to rein in immediately, and the horse raised his hooves and exhaled a large breath of white air from his mouth.

"It's going to be the end of the year, and you're coming. The scholar-like man sighed.

Li Huanglai was helpless: "Aren't you also Shuzhong who arrived not long ago." ”

"I arrived a long time ago, but I took a detour to meet an old friend. ”

The man turned and walked towards the city gate, and Li Huang came and dismounted, leading the rope and walking behind.

"Old friends?"

"It's nothing, when people get older, there will always be a few old and immortal friends who can't be called friends. You wish he would die soon, but if he really dies, maybe you will be the only one who will cry a handful of sympathy. ”

Li Huanglai seems to understand whether he understands or not.

"The black clouds are crushing the city and want to destroy it. The man sighed.

He paused, and then took a sentence without a head: "The young phoenix is clear from the old phoenix." ”

Li Huanglai touched his chin: "I have the right to praise me." ”
