Chapter 13: Yellowstone
"Come on, loosen the tie!" The boss of the Peng clan waved his hand, and his subordinates stepped forward to untie the ropes on Chu Ranran's body.
"Anyway, where is this brother's heirloom Baoyu?"
Chu Ranran pretended to be very scared, pointed to the bamboo house, and said, "That piece of treasure jade was hidden by me, only I know the location of the mechanism."
The old nature of the Peng family would not think that a little girl would dare to deceive herself, so she casually beckoned two of her subordinates and took Chu Ranran into the house to find the treasure jade that did not exist at all.
And he turned to face Qi Yue, smiled and arched his hand: "Hehe, this brother, please wait for a while, as long as you find Baoyu, you will give it with both hands."
Qi Yue saw that there was no sound in the house, and his heart suddenly settled down a lot.
Turning his head and continuing to negotiate with the boss of the Peng family, he said: "In this way, then thank you very much, don't hide that the two of you This treasure is my family heirloom, this time it fell into the hands of others, I thought that I would never get it back, fortunately I had to meet the two presiding officers for justice, otherwise how would I face the ancestors and ancestors under Jiuquan in the future!"
The Peng brothers saw that Qi Yue's feelings were sincere, and their expressions of remorse did not seem to be fake, so they immediately believed a little, and the second Peng brother stepped forward to comfort him, saying: "Eh~ Brother rest assured, after Baoyu brings it, it will be returned as soon as possible, so don't be sad anymore."
"But why haven't these people come out yet, big brother, do you want people to take a look?"
The boss of the Peng family also seemed to sense that something was wrong, nodded and said, "Well, the fifth and sixth, you go in and see what's going on."
"Yes!" the two men took the order, turned and walked towards the bamboo house.
But not long after the two of them entered, they hurried back and shouted, "The boss is not good! The old man and the eighth man have fainted, and the woman is gone!"
"What!" The Peng brothers were shocked, realizing that they had been fooled, and quickly turned their heads to find that the place where Qi Yue was standing just now was empty.
Peng's second brother grabbed his subordinates beside him and said angrily: "Where did that kid go?"
The arrested man knew that this "second master" had a bad temper, so he trembled with fright, pointed to the direction outside the courtyard tremblingly, and whispered: "Go back...... Back to the second master, when the fifth child came out just now, the man fled in that direction!"
"Waste! What do you want!" The second brother of the Peng family threw his men to the ground, and the long knife came out of its sheath and pointed in the direction of Qi Yue's departure: "Brothers, chase me!"
But he had just run out of the way and had not taken two steps before the boss grabbed him from behind: "Don't chase!
The second child stopped when he heard this, looked at the direction of Qi Yue's escape with reluctance, and said, "Hmph, don't let me run into you again, let's go!"
After escaping for five or six miles, Qi Yue stopped, looked back behind him, and found that there was no one chasing him, which was a little different from what he expected, and the mistake in the plan made him a little worried about Chu Ranran.
"Eh, that's all I can do, it's up to you to make it your own creation" After all, everyone has their own way to go, and all Qi Yue can do is pray for each other.
............
In the cold winter, the snow is flying, the cold wind is howling, and the whole north is covered with snow, like a world in a dream.
It stands to reason that in the long winter, you should warm yourself at home around the stove and blanch two pots of good wine to drink alone, which is the most comfortable thing.
But Qi Yue and the others, as disciples of the Sword Sect, while enjoying the respect of everyone, carried heavy responsibilities on their shoulders, forcing them to enjoy themselves with peace of mind.
Yanzhou, located in the northernmost part of Yanting country, has a total of seven counties under the rule, and there are countless counties and towns under the rule of each county, the whole state borders with seven or eight countries of all sizes such as the northern barbarians and the Linxian country, and belongs to the land of the four wars, so the people here are fierce, and at the same time bandits are rampant, it is a famous place in the world to hide dirt and dirt.
Huangshi City, located in the northernmost part of Yanzhou, corresponds to the barbarian Blue Wolf City, which has been the most important barrier against the northern barbarians since its inception, and has a history of thousands of years.
Today, outside this ancient city, three special guests have arrived.
"Senior brother, do we have to dress like this?" Qi Yue pulled the dress in his hand that was not like clothes, and the robe was not like the fabric of the robe, and his face was full of disgust.
Jiang Feng beside him had already put on his clothes, and seeing his displeasure, he hurriedly pulled him over and whispered: "Be quiet, I just received a secret report from the sect yesterday, saying that this Yellowstone City has been infiltrated by evil ways, and we must dress up in disguise, otherwise once we enter the city and be recognized, it will be more difficult to get out than to ascend to the sky!"
Along the way, after nearly half a month of getting along, Qi Yue knows the character of this senior brother, and he will definitely not be untargeted.
He turned his head again and looked at the clothes in his hand that exposed half of his shoulders, frowned bitterly, and said: "But you have to at least give me a piece of clothing that can keep out the cold, this ghost weather in Yanzhou, it snows every day, and I am almost not sure that I will freeze to death!"
To say that it is strange at this time, with Qi Yue's physical strength, it stands to reason that it is basically possible to ignore the general weather changes, but the climate in Yanzhou is extremely cold, and it can be frozen into ice beads in an instant when he breathes out, let alone people.
Along the way, the three of them have been galloping on horseback in a hurry, and the cold wind has always accompanied them, forcing the three brothers to take turns to use Gang Qi to keep out the cold, so it took half a month to come to Yellowstone City.
I thought that the people living here would be warmer, but who knew that this ghost place was even colder than before, and even Qi Yue felt that his anger was a little unbearable for the cold wind, so he could only hide behind the two senior brothers to avoid the wind and keep warm.
But at this time, he was about to enter the city, but he asked him to change into a thin single clothes, of course he couldn't accept it.
Jiang Feng also felt the cold here, but it was a matter of life and death, so he quietly gave Dongfang Xuan a look, and the two of them took advantage of Qi Yue's inattention to suddenly attack, plucked him in the ice and snow, and forcibly changed into single clothes.
In the cold wind, Qi Yue shivered from the cold, his teeth couldn't help chattering, and said, "For...... For...... What, to ...... To wear ...... Single...... Singles?"
Seeing him like this, Dongfang Xuan couldn't help but shake his head, stretched out his hand and pressed the top of his head, giving him a breath of majestic red true qi.
As soon as the true qi entered the body, Qi Yue suddenly felt warm all over his body, as if bathed in the spring sunshine, and almost screamed out in comfort.
"This Tianyang True Qi can last for an hour, enough for us to enter the city and find a place to stay, it's not early, let's leave quickly!"
Qi Yue and Jiang Feng glanced at each other and followed.
With a stick of incense, the three of them came to the gate of Yellowstone City, and when they arrived here, Qi Yue was not shocked by the walls of Yellowstone City that were more than fifty zhang high, anyway, it was no surprise to him, but the flow of people coming and going around scared him a lot.
The most strange thing is that everyone is wearing the same single clothes as them, as if they can't feel the cold of the outside world at all, not even adults, even three or four-year-old children just have more clothes.
But upon closer inspection, it was found that there were also some merchants in thick cotton clothes in the crowd, and these people were heavily inspected when they passed the city gate, and they did not seem to be surprised, and had no intention of resisting.
When the three of them passed through the city gate, the officer only glanced at their clothes and let them go easily, without the slightest suspicion.
"Senior brother, how did you know that the people here don't wear cotton clothes, have you been here before?" As soon as he entered the city, Qi Yue couldn't wait to ask.
You must know that the whole Yanzhou not only has a harsh climate, but also most of the areas can not grow crops, only some people will live near the city, and the three of them in order to avoid the evil eyeline, when they came, they deliberately avoided the city, and walked all the paths, except for some adventurous Jianghu guests along the way, they have never seen the locals, and it is impossible to know how the people here wear clothes.
Jiang Feng looked around and found that no one was following him, so he explained in a low voice: "Although I haven't been to Yanzhou, there is an eyeliner of the sect stationed here, and this was specifically mentioned in the news he came from before, and I didn't expect to really use it."
"No wonder, it seems that the power of my Sword Sect is really not small, and I have my own people in this remote Yellowstone City, so will we go there to settle down in a while?"
Jiang Feng's brows were tightened, he looked a little worried, he suddenly stopped while walking, looked at Dongfang Xuan beside him, and asked softly, "Do you feel that something is wrong?"
Hearing this, Dongfang Xuan also stopped, and his eyes slowly closed, as if he was perceiving something.
After a while, Dongfang Xuan opened his eyes and shook his head at Jiang Feng.
"Yes, maybe I'm overthinking" Although he said this, Jiang Feng's brows were always locked, obviously there were still doubts in his heart.
"No, your worries are right" Dongfang Xuan suddenly said something inexplicable.
"You mean ......"
Qi Yue stood aside and watched the ghostly conversation between the two, he didn't understand it at all, but vaguely realized that something bad might happen.
After a while, Jiang Feng and the others suddenly stopped talking, but began to use the method of teleportation to secretly tell Qi Yue some things.
Qi Yue couldn't help but shrink his pupils after hearing this, but the expression on his face remained unchanged, and then walked to the alley next to the road without saying a word.
After about half a pillar of incense, Jiang Feng and Dongfang Xuan looked at each other and smiled, and said, "Take care!"
When the last word "heavy" fell, the two suddenly got up from the ground, each performing their own light skills, Jiang Feng jumped five or six feet, turned into a black shadow in mid-air, flew to the north and disappeared in the blink of an eye, while Dongfang Xuan "slipped into the streets and alleys" like a swimming fish, and disappeared without a trace.
As soon as they left for a while, a group of shadowy phantoms appeared on the original street, and then they also dispersed, most of them headed in the direction of Qi Yue's escape, while Jiang Feng and the others each followed two phantoms.
