Chapter 27: Nightfire (3/5)

Seeing Jiang Lang holding the fan and running away, Yu Wenqian had a hint of pride on her face, but she snorted lightly and said, "This person is really stingy, isn't it just a few broken fans, can he be so nervous?"

Xiao Suifeng glanced at her and asked, "Are you done buying?"

Thinking of the rouge she had just bought, Yu Wenqian's face smiled even more, and she said coquettishly, "The rouge of this Huayulou is one of the best in the world, I heard that you have a little junior sister in the Cloud Piercing Sword Sect, don't you want to bring her a few boxes?"

Xiao Suifeng was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but think of Liu Susu. When he was in the Cloud Piercing Sword Sect, Xiao Suifeng felt that Liu Susu was enough to give people a headache, but at this moment, when he compared it with Yuwen Qian, he found that Liu Susu was so cute. However, Xiao Suifeng naturally didn't say this, he just nodded, "Then which one should I have?"

"I really love your little sister, and I don't see you being so good to Qian'er. ”

Yu Wenqian originally just mentioned it casually, but she didn't want Xiao Suifeng to take it seriously, which made Yu Wenqian glared at him angrily and scolded softly, but she still walked to the shelf and chose two boxes for Xiao Suifeng, one is called Concubine Tears, and the other is Zishanhong, and asked, "How about these two boxes?"

Xiao Suifeng didn't know anything about rouge, so he nodded silently.

bought rouge, added some dry food and water, and under Xiao Suifeng's urging, the two finally left Nancheng and went straight to Linhai City.

Xiao Suifeng walked on the official road, which is the closest and easiest road from Wuling to Linhai, even if it stops day and night, if it is slow, it is enough to arrive in three or four days, and if it is faster, it can be reached in two days.

If it could, Xiao Suifeng naturally wanted to rush to Linhai as fast as possible, but Xiao Suifeng could ride a horse, but it was the first time to catch the car, after all, he was a little rusty, even if he didn't care about Yu Wenqian in the car, just for his own sake, Xiao Suifeng didn't dare to hurry too fast.

Yu Wenqian sat in the carriage in a proper manner, and Xiao Suifeng said twice halfway, asking Yu Wenqian why she wanted to go to Linhai with her, but Yu Wenqian never answered positively, changing one answer at a time, making it clear that she didn't tell Xiao Suifeng, Xiao Suifeng was naturally angry, but he was helpless, and in the end he simply closed his mouth completely and didn't bother with Yu Wenqian.

In fact, Xiao Suifeng also knew it in his heart.

If it is an ordinary person, it may be to visit relatives and friends when rushing to Linhai at this time, but if it is a person from the rivers and lakes, he will rush to Linhai for the sake of the god song and ghost dance. Yu Wenqian is naturally a Jianghu person, and she is also entangled with herself, if it is not for the god song and ghost dance trick, what can she do for it?

Is it love at first sight? Xiao Suifeng never believed it.

But in fact, as the natural owner of the Divine Song and Ghost Dance Technique, and the only person in the Xiao family of Tiaogu who is still alive, Xiao Suifeng does not attach so much importance to the Divine Song and Ghost Dance Technique.

If it weren't for this magic song and ghost dance trick, there would not have been a tragedy that year, and his parents and family would not have died. The source of all this is naturally human greed, but what causes this greed is the song and ghost dance trick of the gods.

This time, Xiao Suifeng wanted to rush to Linhai, not to regain the Divine Song and Ghost Dance Technique, but to find the murderer behind the murder of the Door Destruction Case through this Divine Song and Ghost Dance Trick that had been missing for more than ten years and mysteriously appeared, and to avenge the parents and Xiao family who died tragically that night.

That's why he was in such a hurry to get to the sea.

......

The official road goes out of Wuling in the south, and there is a place called Baimapo about 100 miles.

This Baima Slope is a place where there is no village in front of the village and no shops in the back, and there are no villages and towns on the left and right, so pedestrians can only choose to sleep in the wilderness when they arrive here, which is naturally very inconvenient.

Later, someone set up an inn on this White Horse Slope and named it the White Horse Inn, but it was convenient for the passing merchants to rest overnight, which was regarded as a good deed.

Xiao Suifeng and Yu Wenqian drove all the way in a carriage and horse, and finally arrived at Baimapo in the evening. Seeing that it was getting late, and if he moved forward, he didn't know if there would be a place to rest, so Xiao Suifeng simply stopped the carriage and looked at Yuwen Qiandao, "We'll rest here tonight for the night, and we'll go on the road tomorrow morning." ”

It was Xiao Suifeng who had been in a hurry, and Yu Wenqian was not in a hurry, so naturally she had no opinion.

Seeing the two get out of the car, a gray-clothed guy dressed as a guy squatting at the door of the inn immediately greeted him, and asked with a smile on his face, "Are the two guest officers eating or staying in the hotel?"

"Eat, also stay. Xiao replied with the wind.

"Okay, eat and stay in the hotel!" the little guy shouted into the inn, and said, "The two guest officers go inside, and the little one will go and tie the carriage to you." ”

The two nodded and walked into the inn, where they found only a few or six guests eating.

Xiao Suifeng took a look more, and most of them were dressed as merchants, but there were also two people with swords and weapons on the table, who seemed to be from the rivers and lakes.

The Dakang Imperial Court is quite wary of the Jianghu people, but there is no prohibition on ordinary weapons such as swords, because it is common for passers-by to carry weapons with them, and there is nothing strange about it, so Xiao Suifeng paid attention to it in his heart, but he did not pay too much attention to it.

Xiao Suifeng and Yu Wenqian both took the boat in a row, and they were indeed a little tired after a few days, so they didn't say much to the innkeeper, as long as they had two rooms, they simply ate some food and went upstairs.

Night fell quickly, and Xiao Suifeng and Yu Wenqian were resting in their rooms.

The candlelight has been extinguished, although the window is open, but there is no moonlight and starlight outside the window, it seems that it is about to rain, and it is pitch black, which is particularly depressing.

Xiao Suifeng was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, but his whole body was neatly dressed, and the Chengying Sword was held in his arms, which was habitual, and Xiao Suifeng was always very vigilant when he was alone.

The night wind blew, shaking the soft sound of the wooden window supports.

Half-asleep and half-awake, Xiao Suifeng suddenly heard footsteps outside the house, slowly from far to near, but stopped when he reached his door.

Xiao Suifeng was immediately awakened and clenched the sword in his hand, but there was a gentle sound of slamming the door outside the door, Xiao Suifeng couldn't help frowning slightly, and asked, "Who is it?"

"It's me. It turned out to be Yu Wenqian's voice.

Xiao Suifeng hesitated slightly, but still walked over to open the door, and saw that Yu Wenqian was also standing outside the door neatly dressed, although the expression on her face in the dark could not be seen really, it seemed to be a little dignified.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Suifeng asked.

"There seems to be something wrong with this inn. Yu Wenqian said seriously.

Xiao Suifeng frowned slightly when he heard this, and looked around, it was pitch black and naturally he couldn't see anything clearly, but this inn seemed to be too quiet in physical education, so he couldn't help but whisper, "Go down and have a look." ”

Yu Wenqian lit a candle, Xiao Suifeng casually pushed the surrounding rooms, and found that they were all opened with a push, and the rooms were empty.

The two walked down the aisle to the stairs, and found that the downstairs was also dark and empty, which was even more abnormal.

"Do you smell anything?" Yu Wenqian walked beside Xiao Suifeng with a candle, and suddenly asked, Xiao Suifeng nodded.

He also smelled a very faint but somewhat pungent smell, and looked around, Xiao Suifeng found that under the flickering candlelight, there were some reflections on the ground and on the stairs, as if someone had splashed water.

After a stir, Xiao Suifeng seemed to think of something, stretched out his hand to extinguish the candle, and pulled Yu Wenqian upstairs, "Go upstairs!"

Yu Wenqian is also a smart person, how can she not understand when she sees Xiao Suifeng's reaction like this.

The two turned around and were about to return upstairs, when the whistling sound outside the inn suddenly sounded, and then countless rockets shot in from the window and landed on the ground, and suddenly the fire flashed, and the entire inn burned in an instant, and the whole became a sea of fire.
