Chapter Twenty-Four: Peeping
Due to the particularity of the Shenzhou region, there are basically only four ways to travel long distances, except for short-distance trips that can use stagecoaches and animal-powered vehicles.
The first is exclusive to innate warriors and royal nobles, that is, domesticated divine beasts and fairy birds, some of which can travel 100,000 miles a day, which is not slower than the flywheel treasure ship, and it is enough for travel.
The last three are the teleportation talisman array, the flywheel treasure ship and the post road ferry.
According to the analysis of the spies of the Panlong faction, the "Night Fox" Hu Sanniang should not be able to use the teleportation talisman array.
There are only four teleportation talisman arrays in Langzhong City, which are in the main city and three moats.
Because the cost of long-distance teleportation is too high, there are not many people coming and going in these four teleportation rune arrays every day, and there are only about 100 people a day, and the users are either rich or expensive, or they are sect martial artists.
These four places are too conspicuous, and they are easy to be targeted to death by the Panlong Sect, so even if Hu Sanniang is confident in her disguise technique, it seems that there is no need to risk going there.
Therefore, the spies deduced that she should only take the large number of flywheel treasure ships or post road ferries. Compared to the teleportation array that only has about 100 people used every day, there are more people using the Flying Ferry and the Flywheel Treasure Boat, at least tens of thousands of people every day.
Of course, this tens of thousands of people is incomparable with the railway station and airport in Baiya's previous life, after all, the human beings in this world are not completely dominant, and the population of a large city is only a few hundred thousand.
In this way, it is necessary to speculate where the she-fox wants to go, and there is a chance to intercept her on the official road.
All the stations of the Flying Ferry and the Flying Wheel Treasure Ship in Langzhong City are in the three moats, and the directions of the vehicles and ships are different.
Ya Mall is located in the east of Langdong, with the direction of the car and ship leading to the Jingzhou Chu realm in the southeast, and the other two moats facing Qin in the north and Chengdu in the west.
The spies thought that Chengdu could be ruled out first, most of the Xianwu sects had mutual news, and Hu Sanniang was on the merit list of the Panlong faction, which meant that he would also be targeted by other sects.
There are so many immortal martial sects in Chengdu, as well as behemoths like Emei and Qingcheng, if Hu Sanniang's brain is not broken, she will not go there to kill herself.
As for Hanzhong and Qin to the north, the possibility is also relatively small.
Hanzhong formed an alliance with Shu, and the warriors of the sect in Shu entered Hanzhong almost unscrupulously. Hiding in Hanzhong is no different from hiding in other states and counties in Shu. Further north, the Qin State was dominated by the Legalists, and the domestic management of foreign population and household registration was very strict.
In particular, the relationship between Shu and Qin is not harmonious now, and they are even more strict with the people who come from the south, and it is also very troublesome for Hu Sanniang to go there.
After thinking about it in this way, only the Ya Mall that leads to the Chu Realm is left.
There are many princes in Chu, the folk customs are open, and the coastal areas of the south of the Yangtze River are even more entertaining and luxurious, and the place is rich. Hu Sanniang now has a sum of money, and it is obviously a good choice to retire there to be a landlord's wife.
However, this is all a somewhat taken for granted analysis by the spies, and it is not very reliable, and Hu Sanniang actually has more choices.
It's not good to go to Chengdu, but Hu Sanniang may not have to go to Chengdu, she may find a county town to do transit on the way?
But what if this she-fox has friends in the Qin State and she goes to seek refuge with others?
Therefore, now waiting for the rabbit next to the official road of Ya Mall, the chance of catching Hu Sanniang is quite slim.
It's just that I don't know why, Baiya always has a strong feeling that Hu Sanniang will definitely pass by here. He often saw the she-fox in Zeng's mansion, and dined with her in the kitchen several times.
The she-fox sometimes gives him the impression that he seems to be extremely confident in some aspect of himself. At least that's how it is usually during meals, if others have an opinion about the dishes she cooks, they will always make her angry.
In all fairness, this she-fox cooks like a line, and the cooked food is still quite delicious.
Since she is so confident in being a temporary cook, she is probably even more confident in the disguise technique she relies on to survive.
It seems that there is no courage to go to the teleportation array with few people, but at the post road station with a huge flow of people, Hu Sanniang may not engage in any more false tricks, and it is very likely that he will be directly disguised.
If so...... It is indeed possible that she will pass through the official road of Ya Mall, and the key is whether Bai Ya can identify it!
Just thinking like this, Bai Ya's expression suddenly froze, and he reached out to push away the basket he had placed under the tree, revealing a small copper pipe covered inside.
He leaned his ear to the brass pipe, as if listening attentively to something, and then he jerked his head up and squinted at the back of the official road.
At this time, it was almost sunset, and the blood-red fiery clouds covered the sky like silk, and there were not many people on the official road, and they gathered together in twos and threes and surged forward.
In the direction that Bai Ya was looking, there was a village woman with a vegetable basket and black braids walking over.
This village woman's face is white and red, her appearance is ordinary, there is a small yellow flower in her ears and temples, she looks not very old, but she is young and young, her posture is mysterious, and her chest is quite charming, and there are many young people walking on the road who can't help but secretly look sideways.
She carried a vegetable basket with a coarse cloth towel on top of her right arm, and put her left hand on the blue edge, bowing her head and walking forward with small steps. It's like a young woman who is going home, or going to her mother's house.
"Finally let my brother wait. ”
Bai Ya showed a hint of surprise on his face, he waited for three days, and he almost thought that he had missed it, but he finally waited for the other party, which can really be regarded as the emperor's heart.
He stood up quietly, patted the dust on his buttocks, pulled the hat down a little to cover his face, and walked slowly towards the official road.
"It's closer!" Bai Ya counted his steps, slowly approaching the young woman with the vegetable basket.
However, when he approached ten meters behind him, the woman seemed to be slightly conscious, and quickened her pace a little, and leaned towards the young farmer.
"Do you notice?" Bai Ya grinned, no longer pretending, raised his hand to take off the hat and threw it, and threw himself towards the young woman.
"Ah~~ Help!" the movement he brought was so great that the young woman looked back and saw that her face was pale, and she staggered into the crowd of young farmers, and said something to them in a panic.
"Don't worry, lady!" the young farmer looked back, and then stopped in front of Bai Ya with a flat pole.
"Cut!" Bai Ya glanced at them, and immediately saw that these people were ordinary people, and they didn't have the slightest kung fu on their bodies, so they couldn't help but flash their eyes, crossed their arms and blocked them, and slammed into them brutally.
"Ouch~~" Where could several young farmers stop the white cliff, they all rolled to the ground with a painful cry, and many people's flat shoulders were broken by a bang.
"You, what do you want to do, concubine, concubine husband is on the left......" The young woman was shocked, her right hand was blocked by the basket in front of her chest, and her left hand covered her face and slowly retreated.
"Do you want to make my brother look like a robbing pervert!"
Bai Ya was helpless, but he admired Hu Sanniang a little in his heart, this woman really pretended to be something. If I wasn't sure that she was the night fox, I was afraid that she would really be fooled.
"I heard that Sanniang's disguise technique is unique, and now it seems that it is indeed extraordinary. ”
Feeling that the crowd on the official road was pointing at him, Bai Ya lost the mind to continue grinding, and sneered and rose up. The tiger claws that had long been put on the hands of the fierce brocade were mistaken, and the sharp claws slashed towards the throat of the young woman, and they did not hesitate to pity the jade.
A strange light flashed in the young woman's eyes, and her original cringing temperament suddenly changed, and she turned away with a smile.
"The old lady thinks that she is unique in the world, and she has never missed the fifteen counties of Yizhou, but she didn't expect it to be planted in the hands of Brother Ya today. ”
"Hmph, frog at the bottom of the well, you weren't recognized, it's just that the Xianwu Sect didn't send a real master to arrest you. ”
Bai Ya was not discouraged when he couldn't pounce, and swept his leg sideways, kicking off a big tree on the side of the road that needed to be hugged by two or three people, and smashing into the night fox's retreat with a bang.
"Hey, Brother Ya'er is really good at putting gold on his face, so you say that the young man of your aura realm is the so-called master of the Immortal Martial Sect?"
Hu Sanniang was talking to Bai Ya indiscriminately, her eyes were rolling, checking the surrounding situation, she was now most afraid that she had fallen into the encirclement of the sect's martial artists.
"Don't look at it, there are no other sect martial artists here, Panlong sent to Baoshan Kongjiazhai, and you are my prey. Bai Ya twisted his neck with a cruel smile, and strode towards Hu Sanniang.
"Are you alone?" Hu Sanniang finally frowned, glanced at Baiya with peach blossom eyes, and said lightly, "Do you think that you alone are enough to take down me, the night fox?"
Having said that, Hu Sanniang had a strong sense of crisis in her heart.
She didn't know which Immortal Martial Sect Bai Ya belonged to, but since the Panlong Sect dared to let him hunt her down alone, she must believe that this person's force was enough.
"Won't you try it?" White Cliff grinned, revealing a flash of light from his exposed canine teeth.
"Hmph, megalomaniacal boy!"
Hu Sanniang had already seen that there were no other martial artists in the crowd around her, and a fierce color appeared on her face, and two poisonous blades slid into her hands from the cuffs, this time she no longer dodged, and rushed up towards the white cliff.
Bai Ya was not afraid, and he didn't even want to know what kind of venom Hu Sanniang's two poisonous blades were coated with, so he directly clasped the blades of the poisonous blades with his palm.
These two poisonous blades are not magic weapons, not to mention that he is wearing a fierce brocade hand now, even if he doesn't wear it, he can't do anything about his iron cloth shirt.
The Mixed Yuan Iron Cloth Shirt has been practiced by him to this extent, except for some internal martial arts that practice shock and urging, it is possible to defeat him by injuring his internal organs, and other martial artists of the same realm have nothing to do with him.
"Wow~~" Listening to the sound of the poisonous blade distorting like metal in Bai Ya's palm, Hu Sanniang's face changed slightly, and she suddenly opened her mouth.
"Poof!" the night fox suddenly spewed out a little black light from its mouth, shooting towards the white cliff that was close at hand.
"Ding!" Bai Ya didn't panic, just closed his eyes, and let the little black light bounce off his seal hall.
"Iron cloth shirt hard work!" Hu Sanniang's face was a little ugly, and she immediately let go of the double-handled poison blade, and flew backwards after withdrawing.
Whether she can win or not, she doesn't want to fight, and it is obviously unwise to die with a hard-fought martial artist.
"Hehe, Brother Ya really has a set. Forget it, Sanniang admits defeat and won't mess around with you. Hu Sanniang winked playfully at Bai Ya, "If you want to catch me, then catch me first, right?"
"Hmph, I knew you would run!" Seeing the night fox flying away, Bai Ya was not in a hurry to chase after it, the cold light flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly raised his hand and hooked his fingers, "I don't want to know how I saw through your disguise technique?"
Hu Sanniang's figure in the air froze, and suddenly a delicate laughter sounded, "There are many heroes in the world, what is Sanniang's trick, if you see through it, you can see through it, but there is nothing to care about!"
"This woman is free and easy, better than many men!" Bai Ya's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, "It's a pity that I can't let you run away today." ”
"Boom!" As if feeling the will of Bai Ya, a big hole suddenly burst into the ground in front of Hu Sanniang, and a figure mixed with countless gravel and mud shot up from the ground, stopping the night fox in mid-air.
