Chapter 20: Nanqu City
Zhang Ye's face changed instantly, the aura flashed in his hand, and he was about to take out the long sword to escape, but he was suddenly held down by a pair of hands, Zhang Ye was shocked, turned his head, and saw that it was Xia Rou. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Xia Rou's eyes were calm, there was no malice in her eyes, and she motioned for Zhang Ye to look at the other side of the inn. Zhang Ye turned his head to look, and was stunned again, there was a person sitting on the table on the other side of the inn, it was Hua Xiaoyan who had a relationship with him in Liangcheng.
Zhang Ye only came to his senses at this time, his eyes glanced at the two Qingyang Palace disciples, and sure enough, he saw the two of them sitting at the table, their attention on Hua Xiaoyan. Zhang Ye's heart was relieved, and he didn't want to stay in the hall for a long time, so he asked the guy in the store for a room, and asked for good dishes to be sent to the room.
After eating, Zhang Ye was still uneasy in his heart, so he asked the mother and son to rest in the room, got up and walked to the hall. In the hall, Hua Xiaoyan was still sitting in the same place, as if he didn't know that he had been targeted, and the two Qingyang Palace disciples were drinking tea in small sips, and they didn't seem to be in a hurry.
Zhang Ye found a table and sat down, and also asked the guy for a pot of tea, carefully paying attention to the movements of the people at the two tables.
After a long time, Hua Xiaoyan seemed to have finally eaten, beckoned the guy to settle the bill, and walked outside, as soon as she went out, the two Qingyang Palace disciples also immediately followed out.
Seeing that the two Qingyang Palace disciples had finally left, Zhang Ye breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but his brows were frowning, the cultivation of the two Qingyang Palace disciples was still higher than himself, if Hua Xiaoyan didn't notice, I am afraid that there would be more than one luck. Although Hua Xiaoyan and herself have only met once, they are friends of their lives and have to save ......
Zhang Ye frowned, hesitated for a moment, and thought that now the enemy was in the light and he was in the dark, so he should be careful, so he also got up and followed out of the inn. On the street, pedestrians came and went, and Zhang Ye wasted a while before finding three more people. Hua Xiaoyan was shopping for fabrics in a store, and the two Qingyang Palace disciples pretended to check in front of the stall across the street.
These two Qingyang Palace disciples are obviously not good at tracking and concealing, seeing that Hua Xiaoyan has been picking around in the store, he has long been impatient in his heart, but he is helpless, both of them have gloomy faces, and the peddler in front of the stall is pale and trembling.
Zhang Ye saw that Hua Xiaoyan didn't seem to have any intention of coming out for a while, so he sat down at the table of the small shop on the street, asked for a bowl of chilled sour syrup, and waited quietly. At this time, it is noon, although it is already the tail of summer, the sun is still hot in the sky, for ordinary people, drinking a bowl of iced sour syrup is a rare enjoyment.
Cultivators are naturally not afraid of cold and heat, but Zhang Ye has obviously not reached that realm, and the two Qingyang Palace monks have obviously also reached that realm, so as time goes by, sweat stains have oozed from their foreheads. The peddler saw that the two of them had been picking and choosing, but they had never bought it, and most of his heart was timid, but his face was still ugly.
Zhang Ye drank two bowls of sour syrup, the two Qingyang Palace monks were already sweating, Hua Xiaoyan slowly walked out of the store, Zhang Ye saw it with her own eyes, she glanced at the two of them, smiled at the corner of her mouth, and walked along the street, and the two followed closely behind. Zhang Ye also smiled and followed behind the two of them.
There are a lot of pedestrians in the city, so the two of them don't need any cover-up, just a little attention. I saw Hua Xiaoyan walking a short distance along the street, then turned around and walked into a wine shop, the two Qingyang Palace disciples stopped to discuss for a while, and then followed, Zhang Ye was also waiting to follow up, just arrived at the door, but saw that the two people actually walked out again.
Zhang Ye was shocked, thinking that the two of them had found him and were about to run away, but he saw that the faces of the two were full of panic and surprise, as if they had lost someone.
Zhang Ye was puzzled in his heart, and when he walked into the wine shop, he suddenly saw a smell of wine accompanied by noise, Zhang Ye's eyes swept around the hall, and he really didn't see Hua Xiaoyan.
Zhang Ye stood at the door for a moment, and he was also surprised in his heart, guessing in his heart, could it be that this wine shop had another mystery, obviously the two Qingyang Palace disciples also thought the same, and walked in from the outside in a blink of an eye.
Zhang Ye walked towards the front desk and asked the guy for a pot of good wine, and the two Qingyang Palace disciples found a table and sat down, their eyes swept over the hall, as if they wanted to see through this wine shop.
"Guest, your wine. The man brought a jug of wine from the back hall.
Zhang Ye's heart moved, but his face remained unchanged at all, looking at the guy who came to carry the wine, he saw his light eyebrows and thin lips, but his eyes were delicate and spirited, grinning at himself.
Zhang Ye's heart moved again, he was sure that the guy in front of him was Hua Xiaoyan, although his appearance was unfamiliar, his height still hadn't changed. Zhang Ye took the wine jug, smiled as well, turned around and found a table to sit down.
After staying in the Tiger Village for half a month, Zhang Ye almost became half an alcoholic, sitting at the table and pouring out the wine in the wine pot and taking a small sip, only to feel that the taste was mellow, it was a rare good wine, Zhang Ye smiled at the corner of his mouth, knowing that Hua Xiaoyan wanted to help himself.
Zhang Ye turned his head and saw that the two Qingyang Palace disciples frowned, and there were wine glasses on the table, but they had no intention of drinking. Zhang Ye already understood at this time that these two people might be the kind of disciples of the big sect who have practiced in the mountains since they were children and have never walked around, and their cultivation is not bad, but they lack the actual experience of walking outside. Unconsciously, Zhang Ye's fear of this Qingyang Palace has also decreased a lot.
Hearing the sound of footsteps approaching, Zhang Ye turned his head, saw that Hua Xiaoyan had returned to his original appearance, and walked out. The two Qingyang Palace disciples suddenly had a happy face, and walked out after a while, Zhang Ye also carried the wine jug and followed the two of them.
Zhang Ye didn't know what Hua Xiaoyan's plan was, but seeing that he was not chaotic at all, he was also a lot more settled in his heart. Walking on the street, there are still a lot of pedestrians, the sun is still hot, Hua Xiaoyan walked along the street, turned a few streets, and arrived at a small river, which is a tributary of the famous Nanqu River.
After the Nanqu River enters the city from the south of the city, it is divided into several tributary rivers, which pour into all corners of the city, converge in the north of the city, and surging away. These tributaries are not only a good place for the young master in the city to enjoy the scenery and boating, but also a water passage that runs through the north and south.
I saw Hua Xiaoyan rent a boat by the river and go up the river along the river. The two Qingyang Palace disciples seemed to have finally thought about it, and did not chase after it by boat, but quietly followed along the river bank.
But seeing that Hua Xiaoyan's boat was turning at the fork in the river, turning towards the river on the other side of the riverbank, Zhang Ye followed the two through the crowd, and saw that the boat Hua Xiaoyan was riding on had docked, but the person was nowhere to go, the two kicked the willow tree by the river a few times in anger, and turned around to look for people, but there was nowhere to go.
Zhang Ye felt amused, and guessed in his heart that he had escaped like this. I saw a flash of inspiration in one of them, took out a bead, pinched it in his hand, and said something in his mouth, the pale red light on the bead flashed, and the eyes of both of them lit up, but in an instant they were full of ugly looks.
Zhang Ye's eyebrows moved, and he saw Hua Xiaoyan Shi Ran walking out of the street, and got on the boat again, and the boat went down the river. Zhang Ye speculated that the bead should be a magic weapon that could detect Hua Xiaoyan's position, and the two of them unfolded it, but found that the target was next to them, so their faces were extremely ugly.
The two Qingyang Palace disciples just lack experience outside, and they are not stupid people, at this time, after thinking about it, they have already understood that the two of them have been exposed, and they have been being played in circles, and their faces are suddenly a little ugly.
After the two of them figured this out, they blatantly followed Hua Xiaoyan's boat, their eyes were full of anger, if it weren't for the fact that they couldn't do it in the city, they would have rushed up at this time, and the dignified disciples of Qingyang Palace, when did they receive such insults.
Zhang Ye smiled again, but he was uneasy in his heart, and he didn't know what countermeasures Hua Xiaoyan had in his heart.
There have always been rules, but in places where human beings live, monks are not allowed to act at will, not only to maintain a stable order, but also because there must be many mortals or monks with low cultivation in the places where they live, and they can't withstand any blows. Regardless of the remote mountain villages, a big city like Nanqu City often has advanced monks sitting in the town, and even the monks of Qingyang Palace do not dare to break the rules at will.
No matter how hot the two are, they don't dare to do anything in the city, but if they go out of the city, it will be different. Zhang Ye followed closely behind the two, and saw Hua Xiaoyan going down the river, if he didn't stop any longer, he would soon be able to reach the north city gate. Zhang Ye didn't want the two of them to find out, so he slowed down a lot.
After a short time, Hua Xiaoyan had already arrived at the north gate of the city, and went out of the city through the water passage. Zhang Ye frowned, and followed the two out of the city gate.
Out of the gates. I saw the boat leaning against the shore, and the man was gone. The two of them took out the orb again, found the direction, and the light on their bodies flashed, and chased towards one side.
The two of them did their best at this time, and the cultivation of the law was above Zhang Ye, and Zhang Ye had to hide his tracks, so he was a little slower, but he lost the figures of the two in a moment, but fortunately, the two of them went in a hurry, leaving a lot of traces along the way, and Zhang Ye would not lose his direction.
This chase was until the night, and with such an all-out effort, the aura in Zhang Ye's body gradually ran out, and he finally caught up with the two of them. Zhang Ye hid behind the tree from a distance, and saw that one of the two was holding a long sword, and the other was confronting Hua Xiaoyan with a flash of inspiration in his palm.
What did the two of them say to Hua Xiaoyan, Zhang Ye was a little far away in order not to be discovered, but he couldn't hear the words of the two clearly, only to see Hua Xiaoyan's face becoming more and more ugly, there seemed to be a flame burning in his eyes, but the two people on the other side laughed wantonly, and their excited bodies trembled slightly.
Zhang Ye was about to get closer, but he saw Hua Xiaoyan's face change, the long sword in his hand was shining, and he stabbed towards the empty-handed man. The long sword was about to turn around, but the long sword in the other person's hand had already stabbed straight in front of him, and Hua Xiaoyan's face changed in an instant.
