Chapter 179: The Bird with a Frightened Bow

Fan Fu smiled faintly, took out a piece of silver and put it on the counter, the shopkeeper looked at the silver, raised his hand and called the guy to whisper a few words to him, and the guy hurriedly went upstairs; Kong Rui heard the shopkeeper's words clearly, his heart moved, and he didn't say anything.

After a while, I saw the guy hurriedly running over and nodding at the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper asked Fan Fudao again: "Now there are only two guest rooms, and you guests want to settle down tonight, and tomorrow I hope to have a spacious room for you." ”

Fan Yongjie also knew that there was no way, so he nodded slightly at Fan Fu, and everyone said goodnight to Kong Rui and moved in.

Kong Rui deliberately stayed at the end, so he asked the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, did the guests in the two rooms you said go out often?"

"Yes, these three people are mysterious all day long, and often don't come back as soon as they go out. Otherwise, I wouldn't have given their rooms to your friends. ”

"When did these people move in?"

"It seems that they moved in shortly after the restriction was lifted. ”

This was similar to what Kong Rui had guessed in his heart, so he asked again: "Does the shopkeeper know where these people go on weekdays?"

The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "I don't know about this, and it's not good for us to inquire about these things about the guests." ”

Kong Rui thought about it, so he asked the shopkeeper again: "There is a big courtyard on the eastern edge of the town, does the shopkeeper know who lives there?"

"You mean the farmhouse, that yard is inhabited by an old man who takes care of the yard. ”

"Thank you, shopkeeper. It's not early, and it's time for me to go up and rest. Kong Rui knew it in his heart, and went upstairs after speaking.

When he arrived at the room, Kong Rui knew that Zhang Yuanzhi, Zhao Xiuying and the others had not yet returned, so he concentrated on releasing his divine sense, wanting to hear what the other people in the inn were discussing.

Hearing this, Kong Rui couldn't help but be disappointed, no one in the inn was discussing the current matter, either sleeping or gossiping about some other things, even Fan Yongjie and Fan Fu were chatting.

"I want to cover it up. Kong Rui thought secretly in his heart, he knew that Fan Yongjie and they came this time, and two bodyguards died as soon as they arrived in Qingshui Town, and the rest of them must have some ideas, but now they are still chatting about other things so calmly, they must have their scruples, and they may also have doubts about themselves, thinking of this, Kong Rui couldn't help but secretly shook his head, and pushed the window out after the lights went out.

It turned out that the middle-level qi refiner's bodyguard was also a little suspicious of Kong Rui, he knew more or less about the supernatural powers of some spirit disciples, so he quietly told all of them; Fan Fu was cautious, so he naturally knew that he was powerful, so he pretended to chat with Fan Yongjie for a while, but Kong Rui still saw through it.

Kong Rui arrived at the courtyard of the camp where he found the camp in the east of the town, and released his divine sense to investigate, but he still didn't find anyone, so he didn't hesitate and flew into the courtyard.

After entering the house, Kong Rui found that there seemed to be many people living in this courtyard, but soon they all left at once, and he searched carefully, but did not find any valuable clues, and he wondered in his heart, why did these schemers suddenly disappear so quickly, could it be that there was a leak? And how did these discover these flaws so quickly, so that they ran away so completely? Where can they go when they leave the station here? Kong Rui was puzzled, so he had to go back to the inn and wait for Zhang Yuanzhi and Zhao Xiuying to come back.

Zhang Yuanzhi and Zhao Xiuying only returned to the inn at noon, Kong Rui knew that the inn had already been inhabited by qi refiners, and he had already activated the magic circle that isolated the divine sense, so he discussed it with them without fear.

Kong Rui first listened to Zhang Yuanzhi's description of what happened to them, and couldn't help but glance at Zhao Xiuying more, thinking that this Zhao Xiuying acted so recklessly, how could he get things done? But he had a lot of confidence in Zhang Yuanzhi, and then Kong Rui also told Zhang Yuanzhi about what he had encountered.

As soon as Zhang Yuanzhi heard Kong Rui say that a demon cultivator had appeared, although this demon cultivator had been killed by Kong Rui, but the others in the station were gone, his face immediately changed, and he said to Kong Rui and Zhao Xiuying: " This matter is already very unpleasant, the demon cultivator already knew Miss Zhao's identity beforehand, and this demon cultivator came, and the killing of this demon cultivator confirmed the fact that Miss Zhao was here; even if the demon cultivator didn't know that Miss Zhao was here, according to their practice, if a demon cultivator was killed, they would definitely send a master to come immediately, and they would definitely not be able to stay here any longer, we had to leave immediately. ”

Kong Rui also reacted immediately, and hurriedly asked, "We can just leave, but what about these merchants who live here?"

Zhang Yuanzhi said: "It's important to take care of ourselves now, where is the time to persuade them to leave?"

Kong Rui shook his head, and said to Zhang Yuanzhi with a straight face: "Second Brother Zhang, this is wrong, although they are all for the sake of profit, they are all from my Great Yan Country, and I can't leave them alone." ”

Zhang Yuanzhi thought about it again and said, "Why don't we go out and let out the news, just say that the scheming people are about to be killed, and they will naturally be afraid of things and leave." ”

"It's a brilliant plan, so let's do it without further ado. Kong Rui hurriedly said.

"Okay, let's pack up and leave, and let's go to the mine together. Zhang Yuanzhi suggested.

"No, Second Brother Zhang, you and Miss Zhao will go back to the mine valley first, and I will go to Suidu to find out the news. So you guys leave right now, and I'll stay a little longer and see how it goes. Kong Rui stuck to his plan.

Zhang Yuanzhi knew that he couldn't persuade Kong Rui back, so he had to say to him: "Okay, then let's say goodbye, I hope Brother Lin has a smooth journey." ”

Zhao Xiuying now also knew that she was too far behind Zhang Yuanzhi, and suddenly had an indescribable dependence on him, so she actually sat aside without saying a word, and when she heard that Zhang Yuanzhi and Kong Rui had already made a decision, she just nodded obediently and said to Kong Rui: "Brother Lin has a smooth journey." After speaking, he hurriedly left with Zhang Yuanzhi.

The shopkeeper was gathering the lunch of all the guests at noon, and suddenly saw Zhang Yuanzhi and Zhao Xiuying hurriedly checking out and leaving. The shopkeeper also felt strange, no matter how anxious he was, this breakfast always had to be eaten, so he said to the two of them: "Two guest officers, let's have lunch before leaving." ”

Zhang Yuanzhi pretended to be nervous, and said in a suppressed voice: "This soldier is coming back soon, where is there time for lunch?" He seemed to be lowering his voice, but he deliberately let the people at the table next to him hear.

When the people heard this, they immediately jumped up, and one of them asked in surprise, "This brother, how do you know that the soldiers and horses are coming?" but he didn't suppress his voice, and all of a sudden the people in the restaurant heard it.

Everyone was shocked one by one, and immediately someone whispered again: "This is really a conspiracy, I know that these scheming bastards are not well-intentioned." ”

Zhang Yuanzhi pretended to be mysterious and didn't explain much, and shouted: "I naturally know." Shopkeeper, hurry up and settle the bill, I won't pay if it's slow. ”

Zhao Xiuying was beside her, and she saw Zhang Yuanzhi with two mustaches stuck to his lips, but she pretended to be a gesture and tried her best not to laugh, but fortunately, everyone else was frightened by Zhang Yuanzhi's words, and they didn't pay attention to her expression.

The shopkeeper was busy settling accounts for Zhang Yuanzhi, only to hear many other people also shouting: "The shopkeeper, we will also settle the accounts." Many of them threw the money directly to the shopkeeper and immediately left.
