Chapter 31, Halfway
At noon, Ji Ruzhi came to Shen Chongdao, and after giving Shen Chongdao a needle, he said goodbye, and told Liu San'er that he would go to the Dustless Sect to break through, maybe he would get started, maybe he would take revenge. Liu San'er also let him go, and wished him all the best.
Friendship may be like this, gathering and scattering. Unconsciously, Liu San'er regarded this young man who had only met a few times as his first friend since Xiuzhen, which was different from the brotherhood of the teacher, this time it was a true friendship.
In the middle of the night the next day, news finally came, saying that Luan Shaomen's master suddenly drove away with a magic device, and he was in a hurry, and he didn't even have time to talk to a group of subordinates.
Luan Zhe is in a hurry, and he shouldn't come back immediately. So Liu San decided to leave after dawn. But Yin Tao didn't follow, and snuggled in his arms with a little sorrow.
"Brother Wang, let's go! I'm scared of the people here..."Yin Tao whispered.
"It's not safe to go out of the city in the middle of the night. Liu San'er gently stroked Yin Tao's hair: "Actually, don't look at the people here are rude people, but they are not bad people." ”
"Oh!" Yin Tao said.
"I'm worried about robberies on the road. Liu San'er said: "Since you don't want to, we'll leave later!"
Yin Tao nodded.
The two of them immediately sorted out their things, but there was actually nothing to tidy up.
......
Li Zhuolun strode over: "Prince Wang, all the items for the carriage and horses have been prepared." The Huodan family father you sent had already taken it at noon, and the healing was at a critical point, so I couldn't see it off in person, so I apologized on my behalf. ”
Liu San'er didn't say much, and saluted with fists. The Nine Turns Ice and Fire Pill should either be taken together, or the next one should be taken first, and the remaining one should be taken after three days. Li Zhuo took the fire pill at noon, and if there was no ice pill available at midnight three days later, he would have lost all his efforts, a little bold!
Li Zhuolun led the three of them out and introduced: "Although the master of Luan Shaomen is gone, the intensity of the search and arrest in the city has not decreased too much, and it is not easy for anyone to want to go out." Please ask the prince and the young prince to be wronged, go to the city gate, take the secret passage I have arranged, and the carriage and goods are waiting outside the city. ”
"Okay!" Liu San'er nodded, I'm afraid there is no better way to disagree with this arrangement.
The three of them got into the carriage, and Li Zhuolun personally drove the car plus more than a dozen cronies and left the Li Mansion quietly.
Due to the careful arrangements in advance, going out of the city was actually smooth without danger. Since he is out of the city, the Ice Pill of the Nine Turns Ice and Fire Pill will naturally be given.
It wasn't until after seeing the three-person carriage go away that Li Zhuolun returned to the Li Mansion with a nervous mood of the Nine Turns of Ice and Fire Pill and Bing Dan. He never expected that his father's injury would take such a turn for the better this time, and the small amount of investment was even more unexpected.
"Father, what do you think of Wang Gongzi?" asked Li Zhuolun, who had returned to the Li Mansion, to his father.
"Kindness is sometimes a burden, and chivalry can also become a fault!" Li Zhuo pondered, "No matter who Wang Gongzi is, he is a friend who no one will regret if he makes a friend. ”
Li Zhuolun couldn't understand the meaning of his father's words, but he knew that the meaning of every word of his father was a wise and clear word extracted from blood, tears and life.
"What do you think of Mrs. Wang?" Li Zhuo asked his son.
"I feel that Mrs. Wang is not the wife of Prince Wang, but they are very close to each other. Li Zhuolun was puzzled and said: "But Wang Gongzi's words and deeds tell me that he is not a romantic person!"
"You see it right, we did this thing today, it is tantamount to offending the Heavy Sword Gate, everything has to be low-key recently, those who help are not strict in their tone will be done, and Jia Bizhi will not be able to stay!" Li Zhuo said meaningfully: "When I get better, I will contact your cousin, we get more than 10,000 taels a year, and it is time for him to wipe our butts." ”
"Father is saying... Wang Gongzi is likely to have killed..."Li Zhuolun was shocked.
Li Zhuo was noncommittal: "I'm just guessing, if you can still see that Jade Gongzi Immortal Master when you go back, remember to tell him what happened and my guess, he is a member of the Shenhua faction, and we have left a way back for ourselves." ”
"Yes. Li Zhuolun didn't particularly understand the mystery of his father's words, but he would still do it, in his eyes, his father didn't miss it except for practicing once, and he won't do it this time.
......
In a comfortable mood, Liu San'er couldn't help but sing a few words of minor tune with his gong-like voice. After leaving Mingluo City, the journey was normal and smooth, and seeing that it was only a three-to-five-day trip from Wolai County, it was no wonder that he felt relieved.
The carriage that Li Zhuo prepared for Liu San'er was specially modified, and it looked a little dilapidated on the outside, but in fact, all parts were sturdy and easy to use, and the carriage was spacious and comfortable with hidden storage compartments.
As soon as he got in the car and started the horse, Liu San'er felt that he came out, and all parts of the whole car were run in very well, and he ran smoothly, which saved people trouble and worry.
The two average-looking mules have great endurance, walk smoothly and steadily, and never get too tired when they travel all day.
No wonder there are places that love to use mules without horses, Liu San'er realized that don't look at mules are not fast, but they can run for a long time without losing speed, and they can walk all day long without horses. What's more, the mule economy is good and the walk is still stable, and the bumps on the road of Yin Tao and Shen Chong have been greatly reduced.
"Uncle Wang!" Shen Chongdao got out of the carriage restlessly.
Touching his little head, Liu San'er's male dignity was greatly satisfied.
What a lovely child! I escorted their mother and son all the way safely, Liu San'er thought a little proudly, I can be regarded as repaying the favor!
Yin Tao's heart was surging and he looked at everything outside the car, the loess and yellow sand ancient hills and ancient roads, everything was the same as before she got married, and there was no change in the slightest.
What has changed is people, and the romantic and lively girl who was bullied by her stepmother has become a sad and grieving new widow. Fortunately, according to my father's letter a few years ago, my stepmother was infected and died, and the time was running out.
Immediately frightened by his vicious thoughts, Yin Tao began to think about other things.
Every time she takes a step closer to her mother's house in Wolai County, Yin Tao thinks about her future life one step deeper, and for the sake of Shen Chongdao's future, she must think about many things.
"Jingle bell!"
There was a crisp sound of horses' hooves.
"Chongdao, go back to the carriage!" Liu San'er ordered, and a four-horse-drawn carriage with a bell hanging at the corner of the carriage behind him rushed over.
Shen Chongdao obediently returned to the carriage.
The one driving was a beautiful and bright girl, with a hidden aura fluctuation on her body, and she practiced qi without a layer of cultivation! She slowed down when overtaking Liu San'er's mule cart and tried to overtake it as far as possible.
From the corner of her clothes that were blown away by the wind, Liu San'er saw a black-robed person and a "ghost" word embroidered on it at a glance.
The people of the Ghost Mask Robe Brotherhood don't wear ghost masks, let alone fly with weapons, could it be that the people sitting in the car are also mortals like Yin Tao and Shen Chongdao?
Liu San'er had seen the black-robed man's pattern and ghost characters in books, so he knew it. With two lashes, the mule was frightened and quickened his pace.
In any case, it would be much safer to have someone from the Ghost Mask Brotherhood to clear the way ahead.
Liu San'er judged so, and wanted to borrow the light of the ghost robe brotherhood.
That ghost-faced robe brother will be a mysterious cultivation organization that has only resurfaced in recent years, and it has been praised by a group of authors to be able to go to the sky, and there are no vanity under the fame, there must be two brushes, as long as it is not too close to the back, there should be no problem.
It's just that no matter how hard the two mules tried to graze, they couldn't catch up with the four-drawn cart.
In a few moments, the car of the Ghost Robe Brotherhood disappeared into the dust.
"Brother Wang, the concubine remembers that there is a village with several families in front of her, and there is a well. Yin Tao said.
"Really?" Liu San'er perked up.
"It should be right, a few miles at most!" Yin Tao affirmed.
"Hurry up, don't be lazy!" Liu San'er screamed vigorously with the mule, and slammed it with a horsewhip. But no matter how hard you fight with a mule, a mule is a mule, and it can't become a horse. Fortunately, it was not a long time, and it was a short time.
It is a small village with only a few households, and there is a pavilion on the side of the main road, and there is a well next to the pavilion, and a few young locals guard the well to collect money.
There were seven or eight carriages and more than a dozen pedestrians around, and the carriage of the Ghost Mask Brotherhood was also parked at the outermost periphery.
"Collect money, a tael of silver and a bucket of water!
"What?
"The last time I came, it was only fifty dollars a bucket!"
"That's right! I'll give you a hundred dollars a bucket! A tael of silver is impossible!"
Liu San'er deliberately stopped near the carriage of the Ghost Robe Brotherhood.
The ghost-faced robe brother who was driving the car glanced at him and didn't speak.
Liu San'er felt that she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen, and she was also the most beautiful cultivator he had ever seen.
No, a few people in the car are all cultivators who have cultivated above the middle stage of Qi cultivation, what are they doing? If they don't fly, they take a carriage, and they don't think it's enough to pull the wind?
"What's the noise!" an old man shouted by the well: "It's not that we are black-hearted, it's everyone who sees, the water in this well is almost bottoming out, don't buy it, anyway, we still rely on this water to survive." In the end, you pat your ass and leave, where are we going to live!"
"Brother, we understand your difficulties, and you also understand our difficulties. ”
"Yes, reduce the price a little, let it go!"
"Let's sell a little water for people and animals!"
The crowd cried and complained.
"Good, good, good!" the old man stretched out his hand and said, "Then half a bucket of two, one bucket per person, not much to sell." ”
There was a burst of cheers from the crowd, and they all crowded in buckets to line up to fetch water.
"Fetch a bucket of water, and we'll just wet our throats. A female voice in the carriage of the Ghost Robe Brother Club said.
"Yes!" Out of the carriage was a little girl with a pale face, Liu San'er actually knew. It was the little girl who had chased and killed him twice, and in a short period of time, this girl had actually cultivated from the third layer of Qi training to the fourth layer of Qi training, and she looked a bit of a genius.
This is an enemy, too bad!
However, the little girl was listless and didn't notice Liu San'er at all.
While carrying the little girl and untying the bucket, Liu San'er asked Yin Tao in a low voice: "Madam, has the water here always been so scarce?"
"Yes!" Yin Tao replied casually: "Before I got married, it was like a bucket of 100 yuan! Although this place is small, it is an important water replenishment point, and everyone who comes and goes here must replenish water!"
"Water can be sold so expensive, it's really an anomaly!" Liu San'er quietly paid attention to the little girl's actions and commented casually.
"If you can't fight, forget it, come back quickly!" The voice of the woman in the carriage suddenly became anxious: "Let's go!"
The little girl jumped back to the carriage of the Ghost Mask Brotherhood one or two, and the carriage turned off the avenue at the same time.
Shout!
A terrible whistle sounded.
Liu San'er looked up at the sky, and his face changed suddenly.
