Chapter 287: The inn chats about Qinjian Mountain
However, it was said that Zhao Xuan and the others entered the city gate, and under the leadership of Kong Xiuru, they went all the way forward, following the route of the remnants of demonic qi to find it. But as they walked, they suddenly found that they had been walking around the city, and they couldn't help but stop, just in front of an inn.
People come and go in the inn, in and out, so lively. Zhao Xuan and the others stopped on the street in front of the door, looked around, Kong Xiuru frowned slightly, and muttered: "In this kind of scene right now, it seems that the other party already knows that someone is following him, and he deliberately hides his breath. And the other party's cultivation is too high, and my 'chasing the wind and shadows' can't play a role." Or maybe the other party is still in the city......"
"What should I do then?" Kong Xiuru was interrupted before he could finish speaking.
It's just that this time it's no longer Yan Danchen who likes to interrupt people the most, but Jin Yaoci, who rarely spoke before.
Although the little girl is now a wife, she is only sixteen years old, and her heart is not yet mature, and she has not lived a few days of grinding her sideburns, so she is still a girl. I have known Kong Xiuru for a long time and become familiar with each other, and the words have gradually increased.
It's Yan Danchen, it's not going to be much today, she has been absent-minded, she seems to be thinking about something, as for Li Shu, her character is destined to be not a person of many words.
If it weren't for the complicated relationship with Zhao Xuan, I'm afraid she wouldn't even have the previous abnormality.
Kong Xiuru looked at the inn in front of everyone and said: "For today's plan, I can only hope that the other party will stay in the city, instead of discovering us." The inn in front of me is the place where the demonic energy remains in this Chongyang Mansion is the strongest, and it should be the foothold of the demon clan, so I don't know if it's still in it. ”
At this moment, suddenly Yan Danchen slapped his head. "I remember!" exclaimed, "I remembered!" The sound is loud. caused passers-by to turn their heads to look at him without entering.
Not only that, but even the travelers who stopped to eat in the inn looked out. Especially the shopkeeper, who had noticed the six people who had stayed for too long, finally greeted him on the street and asked, "Please be among the guest officers, how many of them are sharpened or stay in the hotel?"
Zhao Xuan and the others were about to ask Yan Danchen what the ghost was called and what he remembered, but when they saw this scene, they had to follow Xiao Er into the inn. After all, there are too many pedestrians on the street. In public, he was looked at like a monkey, the man was fine, but a little girl like Jin Yaoci couldn't stand it for the time being.
Entering the inn, Kong Xiuru's heart flickered, remembering Xiao Er's previous question, and said, "Let's stay in the hotel." Little Er, I don't know what kind of rooms you have here? Can you show us there?"
Xiao Er said: "Look at what you said, open the door to welcome guests, how can you not let the guests choose to be satisfied? ”
Kong Xiuru nodded. glanced at Zhao Xuan. Zhao Xuan knew that the other party wanted to use this to explore the strongest place of the demon qi, and it was likely to be the foothold of the demon clan. Naturally, he would not disagree, and beckoned Li Shu, Zhang Bairen and others to go together.
Yan Danchen also knew at this time that he had just behaved a little too much, and followed everyone with a smile.
Following Xiao Er all the way to the backyard of the inn, Kong Xiuru's nose was loose, and he grabbed it with his empty hand, grabbed a handful of air and put it on the end of his nose to hear. He has done this action many times in recent days, and everyone knows that he is performing the technique of "chasing the wind and catching shadows". Only Xiao Er was a little confused in the face of such a strange guest officer. After a while, Kong Xiuru turned his head suddenly, pointed to the second small courtyard in the row on the left and said, "Little Er, are there any guests here?"
Xiao Er hurriedly said: "It's a coincidence that the guest officer is also a coincidence, the guests of this Cuizhuyuan only left the room yesterday, and you are here today." How about the little ones go and clean up for you?"
Kong Xiuru frowned slightly: "Do you know where the other party went?"
Xiao Er wondered in his heart, why do you still need to ask the family to stay in a hotel? But when the guest asked, there was no reason not to answer, and he said with a smile on his face: "What the guest officer said, how dare the little ones ask?"
Kong Xiuru's brows furrowed even tighter: if he was not wrong, that small courtyard was where the demon clan had settled before. Unexpectedly, they finally came a step late and let the demon clan run away.
Especially since the other party is likely to have noticed that someone is following!
"Little Second Brother, do you still remember that person's appearance?" Zhao Xuan suddenly asked.
That Xiao Er was not stupid, and he was even very excited, and when he heard the words, he didn't know that everyone was not staying in the hotel, but on the guests who stayed in the hotel before. His eyes narrowed, and there was only one slit left for him to smile, but he looked at Zuoyan and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, please come in with the little one first, and the little one will introduce you to you." This Cuizhu Garden is the No. 1 courtyard of our Qingyun Inn Tianzi, which has a total of six rooms, just one room for several guest officers......"
Zhao Xuanjiang is so experienced, why don't you know that the other party is doing it on purpose? Zhang Bairen is also worthy of being the head of the house, suddenly realized, took out a small goldfish and handed it to Xiao Er, and said: "We have settled on this small courtyard first, and we also bothered the little second brother to talk about the figure of the person who lived in the hotel before. ”
Xiao Er took the gold and shook it in his hand, and suddenly his face blossomed, and his smile was even brighter: "The guest officer wants to ask the guest officer, he is really a strange person." If nothing else, let's just say that he is single, but he has to live in a courtyard, and he is wearing an old gray cloth robe, which is slightly tattered, and he does not look rich. As for appearances...... is quite burly, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a high nose and a wide mouth, plus a square face of Chinese characters, it is really a bit majestic. Especially his eyes, tsk, just like the novelist's 'cold and electric gaze', to be honest, the little one was really a little stunned when he saw him at first sight. ”
Zhang Bairen looked at Zhao Xuan when he heard this, Zhao Xuan nodded, Zhang Bairen understood, waved his hand to Xiao Er, and said, "Okay, you go down first." ”
"Okay!" Xiao Er didn't say a word, and walked away with gold bars.
A few people walked into the courtyard, but saw that it really deserved the name of "Green Bamboo Garden", which was full of green bamboo, verdant, in the autumn when the dead leaves fell, like a spring breeze, it really deserved to be called "the three friends of the cold year".
Kong Xiuru stood in the garden, sighed and said, "It's troublesome now...... everyone nodded when they heard this.
Since the other party hides his breath and leaves, I'm afraid that looking for it again will be like looking for a needle in the bottom of the sea.
At this time, Zhao Xuan suddenly remembered Yan Danchen's abnormality before, and couldn't help asking: "Brother Danchen, what happened just now, what did you think of that made you so excited?"
Yan Danchen was shocked, scratched his head, and said, "Let's talk about ...... in the house."
Entering the room and sitting down, Yan Daxia talked about the reason why he was so "excited" before.
“...... You may not know that in fact, Yan came down the mountain with a mission. It is said that in a few days, the day of the beginning of winter will be the eighteenth birthday of the eldest lady of Qinjian Villa, and our Luofu Mountain and Qinjian Villa belong to the same six major sects, and there is always an intersection between them, so the master sent me down the mountain to congratulate the eldest lady of the Ye family on the coming-of-age ceremony. Yan Danchen scratched his head embarrassedly and said with a sneer: "Originally, I still remember this incident when I first came down the mountain, but as I traveled for a long time, especially after meeting you, I forgot about it directly." Fortunately, I came to Chongyang Mansion by chance and remembered this incident, otherwise the master would have to pick my skin when I went back!"
Qinjian Villa is thirty miles north of Chongyang Mansion, and it is too late to go now.
Kong Xiuru had a good mentality, and he didn't immerse himself in the matter of losing the demon clan, so he immediately adjusted his mentality, and nodded slowly: "Kong has also heard a little about this matter. The eldest lady of the Ye family, as the pearl of the owner of Qinjian Villa, is not to mention beautiful, and her music skills are also quite good. I heard that the banquet of Lord Ye Zhuang this time is not only for Miss Ye's birthday, but also for the purpose of recruiting sons-in-law. ”
Zhao Xuan blinked when he heard this, glanced at Yan Danchen strangely, and played with taste: "Brother Danchen, you and that Miss Ye belong to the same six major sects, and that Ye Zhuang owner has the heart to recruit a son-in-law for Miss Ye." Are you sure your master only sent you to 'celebrate your birthday'?"
"What do you mean?" Yan Danchen's face was a little unnatural.
Although Kong Xiuru seems to be gentle, he is also an interesting person, and suddenly smiled and said: "What Mr. Hong means is probably that Brother Yan has no other purpose here. For example...... Propose?"
In the end, as soon as the word "propose" came out, Yan Danchen's face suddenly turned embarrassed, and he said: "No...... No...... How could it be ......" It's just that his voice is getting weaker and weaker, his tone is getting weaker and weaker, his two eyes are sweeping around, and finally he meets Li Shuqing's cold gaze.
Zhao Xuan raised his eyebrows, a fool in this situation could see that Yan Danchen was lying, and quipped: "I didn't expect our Yan Daxia to be burdened with such a sacred mission." In the eyes of Poor Dao, with Brother Danchen's appearance and talent, just a Miss Ye should be caught. Kindness...... Luofu Mountain and Qinjian Villa, yes, yes, it seems that these two major schools are going to marry. ”
Zhang Bairen actually said: "I have also heard some of Miss Ye of Qinjian Villa, she is both talented and beautiful, and she is fine in piano and painting, although she was born in a martial arts family, she is better at literature and Taoism." Brother Yan's martial arts should have few opponents among his peers, and the eldest lady of the Ye family is also harmonious and complementary. ”
Yan Danchen finally couldn't bear it anymore, and said with a stiff neck: "Who said that I want to marry that Ye family's eldest lady?" Yes, although my master intended to let me participate in the martial arts competition, how can I, Yan, be a person who regards marriage as child's play? Not to mention that I have never met or know that Miss Ye, and I don't know what she looks like and what her personality is. Let's just say that she doesn't learn swordsmanship and prefers piano painting, and I don't dare to agree. In the eyes of my Yan, my wife, not to mention that she can catch up with me in swordsmanship, at least she must be a first-class figure in her generation!"
Li Shu's face turned cold, snorted coldly, and said, "It's as if Miss Ye can take a fancy to you!" Suddenly, a few chuckles sounded in the room, and Zhao Xuan played with the taste: "It's still Nuwa who said well, Brother Danchen is too confident." ”
"I don't think it's self-confidence, it's conceit, right?" Jin Yaoci asked with a grin.
Yan Danchen coughed dryly again and again, his face turned red, and he didn't know how to refute for a while. (To be continued......)
