Chapter 22 Inventory
"Looks like we can only use it. ”
Looking at the horse that was already foaming at the mouth, Liu Yifan knew that it was useless to ride it, not only could the horse not get up at speed, but it would also be exhausted.
Looking left and right at the surrounding environment, there is no shop in front of the village and no shop in the back, let alone changing horses, even looking for a donkey, a cow and the like.
I opened the map and looked at the location of Guandu, judging from the distance, it would take less than half an hour to walk, but it was not far away.
Without hesitation, Liu Yifan turned over and dismounted, carrying a small burden with a sleeping bag of dry food and a handful of pipa and preparing to go to Guandu.
But before he had taken two steps, he heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him, and turned his head to see that his horse was moving forward slowly, as if trying to keep up with him.
It's just that the four hooves are floating, no matter how you look at it, Liu Yifan feels that he may fall down at any time, so he hurriedly walked back reflexively, and touched the horse that was covered in sweat and wheezing.
"Brother Ma, Brother Ma, take a good rest, don't follow me. ”
Liu Yifan took off the bridle as he spoke, patted the horse's head again, touched the mane and said, "I can walk the road after that, you can go your way." ”
I don't know if the horse understood Liu Yifan's words, or because the bridle was removed and felt free, after neighing, he really turned around and disappeared into the forest.
The words were said by Liu Yifan himself just now, but the horse's quick reaction was really a little unexpected by him, he was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but smile, and followed into the woods.
He didn't want to chase the horse, but remembered that he was still wearing the clothes of a disciple of the Seven Holy Sect, and if he went to Guandu to wear this body, it wouldn't make much sense but would cause trouble, so it was better to change his body.
Not long after, Liu Yifan walked out in plain clothes, with a pipa behind him, looking like a person who traveled around the world to play music for a living.
In normal times, these musical instruments need to be placed in the corresponding cloth bags to avoid bumps and moisture, but Liu Yifan knew that if he really did that, the people of the Seven Holy Sect would definitely come up and interrogate what was inside, and whether it would be a weapon such as a sword.
Show it to people directly, so that the people of the Seven Holy Sect can avoid this kind of interrogation by knowing at a glance that this is a musical instrument, so as not to let the other party find out that this pipa has been transformed by him, and there is actually a sword hidden in it!
The body of this pipa has already made a lot of cracks in Liu Yifan, and once he encounters a threat, as long as he is under the internal force, he will immediately shatter, and he will be able to take the sword to meet the enemy.
Originally, Liu Yifan wanted to use the piano, but the thing was a little too big, and at first glance it looked like a wooden box, and it was easy for people to wonder if there was something hidden inside, compared to the pipa, which was much better.
According to the shortest distance given on the map, Liu Yifan walked all the way, as long as he saw no one around, he would use light skills to speed up his pace, so that the road that originally took half an hour to complete was shortened by nearly half.
When he came to Guandu Town, Liu Yifan found that there were twenty or thirty people from the Seven Holy Sect standing at the entrance of the town, and it seemed that they were there for an investigation.
"How can there be so many people investigating?" Liu Yifan, who was slowly walking there in the crowd, muttered in his heart.
Before he could ask someone, he saw a vendor pushing a cart of sugar cane stopped.
Amid the cries of the sugar cane vendor, the bowl-thick pieces of sugar cane were cut into several pieces by the disciples of the Seven Holy Sect, because they suspected that weapons might be hidden inside.
At this time, I heard some people around me whispering there.
It is said that there were people from the Jianghu Sect yesterday, but under the guise of transporting bamboo poles, they hid a lot of weapons in it, and they almost robbed the ships collected by the Seven Holy Sects, which made them now much stricter in their inspection of people who came and went.
Hearing this, Liu Yifan was also secretly frightened in his heart, and at the same time sighed that fortunately he didn't use someone who pretended to be a bamboo seller to hide the sword, someone had already used this trick, and if he used it again, it would be like throwing himself into the net.
It's just that he doesn't even let go of these people who are solid sugar cane, so will he not be able to hide this pipa?
If you don't go through the main gate in the middle of the day, sneaking in from the rest of the town, you'll definitely be spotted by the crowds, unless you wait until the evening to get in, but then the time to get on the boat will be tomorrow.
He is anxious about Cai Yan's safety now, but he doesn't have time to wait here until the evening, so it's best to go in and get on the boat in the direction of Puyang now.
Liu Yifan was thinking about it when he heard a shout: "You, come here!"
When he looked up, he saw a disciple of the Seven Holy Sect shouting in this direction, Liu Yifan looked left and right, and then heard the man say again: "Look at what you see, it's you!
"Hero, you call me?"
Liu Yifan walked over with a smile on his face, but his heart had already been raised, if this person took it and smashed it on the ground to see if there was anything hidden inside, then he could only leave here first and come back at night.
Although this was delayed for a night, it was at least much stronger than being followed all the way by the Seven Holy Sect after forcibly breaking into the ship, and that would also reveal the direction he was going.
In case this matter reaches Wei Zhongdao's ears, there may be a lot of accidents.
The other party is also on his way to Ice Hell City now, and with the identity of the hall master of the Seven Holy Sects, it is difficult to say whether the other party will use him to divert the attention of the Seven Holy Sect people, and then he will take the opportunity to save Cai Yan.
In fact, if it weren't for listening to Liu Cuilan's story, he would have seen Wei Zhongdao completely clearly, even if the other party used him to save Cai Yan, as long as Cai Yan was rescued safely, it was better than anything.
But Wei Zhongdao's abnormal feelings for Cai Yan, Liu Yifan felt that Cai Yan was rescued by the other party, but it was just falling from the tiger's mouth into the hands of the wolf, and it was still unsafe.
Liu Yifan had already spared several turns in his mind, but the smile on his face called him humble and careful.
The disciple of the Seven Saints Sect was not moved by this attitude in the slightest, and said, "You are carrying a pipa behind you, right?"
"Oh, the hero is really good eyesight and knowledge!" Liu Yifan praised again and again, but a bad feeling already rose in his heart.
If you want to say that this person doesn't know what he's carrying, it's normal to call him over and ask, but the name is broken in one sentence, isn't this person really going to be like the sugar cane just now, ready to smash the pipa to see inside?
Just when Liu Yifan was thinking about whether to flash people, he listened to the man: "Since I came to the Central Plains, I have either been a zither or a piano, but I haven't listened to pipa music for some days." ”
"Look at you as a musician, come, play a song for us. ”
