Chapter 70: The Second Prince
Just when I was glad that Ruan Nianyun and Xiao Pengchi had retreated, the governor who stayed here suddenly shouted, "Aren't you coming out yet, I noticed you!"
Although I was frightened, I forcibly calmed myself down, and said in my heart: This governor must be trying to trick me out, he doesn't know that there are people here!
With that in mind, I continued to hide here to see how the governor would react. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Then I heard the bow tighten as it was pulled apart, followed by a whizz of feathered arrows.
My heart pounded at this moment, this arrow was definitely shot at me, this man really found me.
My body reacted urgently, and I immediately straightened up and rolled outward. With a snap, the feather arrows hit the place where I was hiding just now, and all the arrows sank into the ground, which shows how terrifying this person's strength is.
"Haha...... Come again!"
As soon as I rolled over, I heard the governor laugh and draw his bow again, and another arrow whizzed. Responding again, I temporarily turned sideways, urgently changed direction and rolled to the side.
"Yo he, I haven't shot yet! Fun ......"
After saying that, there was the sound of the governor shooting arrows, and I suddenly wanted to scold, this governor is too lacking in morality, and it's funny if he doesn't shoot, what the hell does this guy think!
Sou!
Another arrow came, but this time I didn't want to dodge anymore, so I stood up with my left hand and held the hilt of the sword at my waist with my right hand.
Seeing the arrow coming, I drew my sword violently, ready to cut it in half with a sword, and with the precision of my eyes and the power and sharpness of a sword, I could definitely do it.
However, I forgot one thing, the sword in my hand was no longer the Rainbow Devouring Sword or the Waning Moon Sword, but an ordinary long sword that I had just bought from the Jiaoqiao Inn.
When I swung this sword, I suddenly realized this, but unfortunately it was too late, too late!
Clang!
呲呲呲......
Swish!
As I expected, the sword in my hand slashed perfectly at the arrow that shot the feather arrow, but only perfectly.
The arrow of this arrow is not bad material, and I have no source qi, so it is naturally impossible to cut the arrows together.
There was a crisp sound as the blade collided with the arrow, and then my sword was knocked out of the blade.
The blade of the sword rubbed against the arrow of the feather arrow, and then the arrow changed direction, brushing past me, scraping my clothes and leaving a shallow blood mark on my waist.
I don't know if I was suppressed by my trick, but the governor didn't speak for a while, and he didn't shoot arrows again.
I looked up a little confused, only to see something that made me not know what to say.
In front of me sat two horses, and at sits two men, one of the Governor's and the other of the Governor's attendants, who are carrying torches for the Governor.
In the firelight, I saw the faces of these two people, and I still knew them, one was Dongfang Haoqiong, and the other was Li Hou.
They also looked at me stunned, which made me sure that these two people should be Dongfang Haoqiong and Li Hou himself.
Before the governor could speak, Li Hou, who was holding a torch behind him, was the first to speak, "Are you ...... Brother Li!"
I put away my long sword with a smile, nodded to them, and said with a wry smile: "Brother Dongfang Haoqiong, Brother Li Hou, long time no see!"
As soon as I finished speaking, I saw Li Hou punch Dongfang Haoqiong's back, followed by Li Hou's reprimand,
"What are you shooting blindly, it hurts Brother Li!"
Being slapped like this by Li Hou, Dongfang Haoqiong had an embarrassed smile on his face, patted the iron helmet on his head with his hand, and said, "Brother Li, I'm really embarrassed." ”
At this time, Dongfang Haoqiong no longer had the majesty that shocked those people just now, and it had changed back to the Dongfang Haoqiong I knew in Tiange.
"By the way, you don't stay in the Heavenly Pavilion, how did you come here, you have become the governor! haha......"
Speaking of this, I couldn't help laughing, and Dongfang Haoqiong and Li Hou also laughed. It's really interesting for the three of us to meet in this way in this kind of place......
After laughing, Dongfang Haoqiong shook his head at me and said, "Brother Longchen, this is the task assigned by the Great Commander, I can't disclose it, I hope you will forgive me!"
"The Task of the Great Priest ......"
After thinking about it for a while in my heart, I stopped being entangled, and smiled at Dongfang Haoqiong, who looked apologetic: "Brother Dongfang, since it is the task assigned by the Great Priest, then I won't ask more." ”
"Thank you, thank you!"
Facing Dongfang Haoqiong to thank me, I shook my head gently, and then said: "Since the two eldest brothers are here, you shouldn't arrest me back!"
Hearing my words, Dongfang Haoqiong smiled and said: "Brother Longchen, during the curfew, if you encounter suspicious people, you will be killed, so what is the reason to bring it back!" haha......"
He's laughing, but I can't laugh, what does he mean by that! You know it's me, or is he going to kill me? Really......
After laughing, Dongfang Haoqiong continued: "However, Brother Longchen is naturally not a suspicious person, how can there be any reason to kill. ”
Seeing the smug look on Dongfang Haoqiong's face, I immediately understood that this guy was joking with me just now.
It's a pity that this kind of joke is really not funny......
"Alright, since there is no problem, we are going back to the barracks too!"
As soon as he said a word to me and Li Hou, Dongfang Haoqiong threw a token to me and said, "Brother Longchen, if you are in trouble in Longshou City, come to me with this token!"
When he had said that, he said no more, and drove his horse back. Li Hou also turned the horse's head, and before leaving, he instructed me: "Brother Longchen, this time in Longshou City is not peaceful, you have to be more careful in Longshou City!"
"Brother Li Hou, I remember!"
"Okay! The next time we meet in the barracks, we will definitely drink 300 cups!"
Hearing Li Hou's three hundred cups speak, I couldn't help but smile bitterly, I don't have the source qi now, will I get drunk directly after drinking three hundred cups......
After sending Dongfang Haoqiong and Li Hou away, I continued to go to the Qinshan Inn, it should be almost time to change shifts, but this time I didn't meet any patrolling soldiers.
Finally, I arrived at the Qinshan Inn, and as before, I began to investigate the inn, and successfully found Qing'er and her sisters on the fourth floor.
It was curfew time, and they were already asleep, so it was inconvenient for me to break in directly, so I threw a note saying that I was at the Jiaoqiao Inn into Qing'er's room.
When they see this note tomorrow, even if they don't believe it, they will go to the Jiaoqiao Inn to take a look, and when they see me or Shen Kuoyun, they will naturally know that this is all true.
After doing this, I waited for Shen Kuoyun to come and meet me at the Qinshan Inn.
We said that we would meet at the Qinshan Inn, but he didn't find Qing'er and them at the Fenglin Inn, so he naturally wanted to come to the Qinshan Inn.
That's what I said, but the actual situation is not like this at all, I waited until it was almost dawn, and Shen Kuoyun didn't come.
It wasn't until then that I realized something was wrong!
Shen Kuoyun is a little master of the entry realm, even if the distance is a little farther, he will not be slower than me, a walker.
If nothing else, let's just say that the time I was delayed by Ruan Nianyun and them was enough for Shen Kuoyun to complete a round trip between the Qinshan Inn and the Fenglin Inn .
Thinking of this, I resolutely went to the Maple Grove Inn.
It was about to dawn. At this time, all the soldiers who had been patrolling were withdrawn, and I could rush to the Maple Forest Inn.
Those who got up early and were ready to do business, when they saw me running wildly on the road, they all looked with admiration.
Maybe I admired me for getting up earlier than them and working so hard...... At this time, I can't care so much......
I ran wildly all the way, and when I arrived at the Maple Forest Inn, I happened to hear a rooster crowing.
Without much thought, I went to the wall of the Maple Grove Inn, ready to climb up, but before I could do anything, the door of the inn was opened.
I was shocked, and then hurried to the side and found a slightly better place to hide.
After that, there was the sound of the door being gently opened, followed by several footsteps.
I slowly peeked my head out, and I saw four people squeezing out of the crack in the open door, the whole time lightly, for fear of making a sound.
The last one to come out was a man in a black cloak, and he was dragging a large black cloth bag with something inside.
The three of them glanced around, and when they saw no one else, they nodded to the black-cloaked man, who lowered the black cloth bag to the ground.
Then the four of them began to whisper to each other, and although my hearing was good, they were very careful when they spoke, and I could only hear what they said intermittently.
What seemed to be the man in the black cloak said, "...... This man...... Second Prince...... What to do?"
One of the three said, "The Assassins dare to come...... Message leak...... It's not easy......"
One of the three said, "...... Prince...... Affirmation......"
Then the last voice said, "...... Incarcerated ......"
Having said all this, they seemed to have finally decided, and then the man in the black cloak lifted his sack and let the other side of the street walk over, fast, a little unbelievably fast.
I had wanted to intercept the black-cloaked man, but from what they had just said, I speculated that the black cloth bag probably contained Shen Kuoyun.
But, my gut tells me that those three people are powerful, especially the man in the black cloak!
I don't have a source qi cyclone now, so I naturally don't know if the person who came is a person who has practiced inner breath, but my intuition has always been very accurate.
When I felt that these three people were not simple, I was not prepared to make a rash move.
When the black-cloaked man was gone, the three men at the door looked to the side again to make sure there was no one, and then squeezed in from the open place, and then the door shut.
Although they can't catch up with the cloaked people, from their words, it seems that the second prince Shen Cheng is now in the Fenglin Inn.
It should be because the second prince is here, and Shen Kuoyun, who came to look for Qing'er and them, was arrested as an assassin.
When a person said that he wanted to be imprisoned just now, he should mean that Shen Kuoyun was captured alive, and then he had to find a place to imprison him.
I don't have the strength now, and I don't have the direction to look for, the only thing that is of some use is the identity of the disciple of the Sword Emperor!
I have to go and face the second prince Shen Cheng, and before I go again, I decided to go back to the inn and discuss with the eighteen horsemen of the Shen family first, and then go and talk to Shen Cheng.
I made up my mind, so I quickly returned to the Jiaoqiao Inn, and then Qing'er and the others will also come over, and everyone will think about what to do together!
