Chapter 31: Ten Thousand Maple Forest Purple Star Residence
When the cold moon was high, Ah Xiu and the other four arrived in Jintang County, they tried their best to hide their tracks, and found a small inn to stay, the innkeeper was very strange, and saw that two of the women and one man were dressed very exquisitely, but the young man was shirtless, and it was really a bit nondescript with other people, so he studied the identities of several people.
However, when the shopkeeper took a piece of silver handed over by Luo Xuerou, he immediately dispelled all his worries and prepared meals and rooms for several people.
Ah Xiu ate grilled fish without any ingredients for two months, and when he saw the full table of food at first glance, he didn't feel his index finger move, the food was very ordinary, just some home-cooked dishes, and at this time, Ah Xiu seemed to be tantamount to delicious food.
After eating this meal beautifully, several people came to the room, and they were a little dumbfounded when they looked at the upper room prepared by the shopkeeper, which was clearly a thatched house.
Ah Xiu didn't care, Luo Xuerou and Xiao Ying both frowned, and Ah Xiu smiled secretly: The daughter of this city lord's family is not used to living in such a small place.
Luo Xuerou knows that the situation is like this, even if you are not used to it, you have to live. Zhao Mingsheng's injury was not healed, and Xiaoying took care of him, but Ah Xiu and Luo Xuerou had no intention of falling asleep, so they simply got together to discuss countermeasures.
"Miss Luo, I don't know what you're going to do next?" Ah Xiu asked.
Luo Xuerou thought for a while and said: "We were originally going to Shangling City to find Sun Hecheng to rescue, but now it seems that the road to Shangling City has been blocked by Wei Xiyang and the people of the Demon Spirit Sect. ”
Ah Xiu nodded in agreement, and then raised his eyebrows and said, "Miss Luo, this Wei Xiyang is in trouble, why don't you go to Duke Weinan, isn't this area his sphere of influence?"
Luo Xuerou shook her head and said, "Duke Wei Nan must know about such a big thing happening in Lingxiang City, but now I don't see any action from him, let alone ......"
"What's more?" Ah Xiu hurriedly asked when he saw Luo Xuerou hesitate.
"Besides, when the world was in the war, my father got the three cities of Lingxiang, and later he was forced to attach himself to Wei Nan Gong, but it was only a dependency relationship, my father and Wei Nan Gong were originally a little discordant, because Wei Nan Gong has always been very trusting of my father, so he sent Wei Xiyang to Lingxiang as a city protection general, in fact, it was also to spy on my father. Luo Xuerou replied.
"So, Wei Xiyang is Duke Weinan's man?" Ah Xiu frowned.
Luo Xuerou nodded: "Yes, so I think the mastermind behind this matter is likely to be Weinan Gongjinghai, if we go to him for help, it will be tantamount to a sheep falling into the mouth of a tiger." ”
Ah Xiu pondered for a moment when he heard this, and then said: "Duke Weinan is so powerful, isn't it simple to want you Lingxiang Three Cities, why bother so much?"
Luo Xuerou looked at Ah Xiu and sighed: "Master Lin, don't you know, although it is calm on the surface today, in fact, the waves are surging, no one dares to rashly move troops, besides, this world is not only his Duke Jinghai of Weinan, even if it is only in the Tiannan family, it is not only his side of the big force, although my Lingxiang is not big, in the end, it is also a three-city interdependent, once Jinghai sends troops, the relationship will be very wide, so he does not dare to be too blatant." ”
Ah Xiu nodded secretly, and said in his heart that the level of seeing things is different for the daughter of the city lord, but she is much clearer than Lin Xuewu, and said at the moment: "Then Miss Luo, you and the old city lord are outside the three cities of Lingxiang, do you have any reliable friends?"
Luo Xuerou shook her head lightly, and said gloomily: "In today's situation, everyone is wise to protect themselves, how can there be any real friends, when this kind of thing happens, anyone will look at it coldly." ”
Ah Xiu looked at Luo Xuerou's appearance, and unconsciously sighed, so he had to comfort: "Miss Luo, don't worry, the old city lord treats the people of the three cities very well, and now that Wei Xiyang has been replaced, they don't look like good people, the people will still support your Luo family, they can't grow up." ”
Luo Xuerou knew that Ah Xiu was comforting herself, but she still couldn't help but smile bitterly: "If the people's words really worked so well, then there would be no situation today." ”
Ah Xiu was speechless, so he had to hang his head and remain silent.
"Unless we can find someone, there is some hope. Luo Xuerou said suddenly.
"Who?" Axiu's eyes lit up.
"Unless you can find my sister Su, then whether it is the Demon Spirit Sect or the Wei family, you don't have to worry, it's just ...... Sister Su Shenlong can't see the end, and I don't know where to look for her. ”
"Sister Su?" After Ah Xiu heard this, the first thing that came to mind was Su Zixing, who had saved himself and fought against the Demon Spirit Sect members in Trapped Dragon Mountain, and hurriedly asked, "Is the person you are talking about is the Tiannan Six Saint Su Zixing?"
Luo Xuerou was stunned: "What, does Master Lin also know Sister Su?"
"It really was her. Ah Xiu said secretly, and then said: "I can't talk about acquaintance, I have only met her twice, oh yes, do you know where Miss Su lives?"
Luo Xuerou said: "I have been there once, in the Purple Star Residence of Wanfeng Forest, but Sister Su has been wandering in the martial arts all the year round and rarely lives at home. ”
"That's fine", Ah Xiu stood up abruptly, and continued, "Let's just go to her house to find her, if she is at home, it is best, if she is not there, we will do something about it." ”
Luo Xuerou heard Ah Xiu say this, so she had no choice but to do so. Seeing that it was already early in the morning, the two of them went back to their rooms to rest in a hurry, and the next morning before the sun came out, several people got up, hastily ate something, and rushed to the direction of Wanfeng Forest.
Wan Fenglin is in the southeast of Lingxiang City, almost out of the jurisdiction of the Duke of Weinan, and along the way, the four of them were cautious and changed their heads.
Luo Xuerou's current dress can't be seen to be a young lady, but she looks like a small jasper, but her temperament is still so cold, Xiaoying and Zhao Mingsheng changed into peasant clothes, they both have a bit of appearance, but Ah Xiu, casually got a short dozen and wore it on his body, but it gave people a very strange feeling, and he always felt that this kind of subordinate clothes were indescribably awkward on him.
On the third day after the group left the inn, a group of uninvited guests arrived in Jintang County, interrogating and inquiring from door to door, when they arrived at the inn where Ah Xiu and the others stayed that day, the innkeeper was besieged by silver and knives, and told everything he knew, and when asked where Luo Xuerou went, he actually said Wan Fenglin, which he overheard when Ah Xiu and the others were having breakfast before leaving.
"Let's go, go to Wanfeng Forest, and be sure to take them down. "It was an old man with silver hair and a silver beard who spoke, if Ah Xiu was here, he would definitely know that this person was the Jiang priest of the Demon Spirit Sect.
Zhao Mingsheng's body was getting better day by day, and when the group was about to arrive at Wanfeng Forest, his injuries were almost healed, Luo Xuerou and Xiao Ying were both sighing at the magic of the Axiu Pill, and at the same time, they were a little more dependent on this young man.
As Luo Xuerou guessed, Su Zixing was not at home, however, except for the two women dressed as servants, Ah Xiu and the others saw a man who was no more than thirty years old and looked dignified in Zixing Curie.
Just as Ah Xiu was guessing what the relationship between this person and Su Zixing was, the man spoke first: "Everyone, are you here to find Zixing?"
