It was noon, Wan'er and Jiuzhong had been on the road for two days in a row, because the Holy Festival was approaching, and Ye Feng's whereabouts were unknown, so Ye Meng's decision-making power fell on Wan'er. The current situation is urgent, Wan'er is in a hurry, and she has been ordered by the branch of Ye Meng to spread the news of Ye Feng's safe return to stabilize the morale of the army. But Ye Jiuzhong on the side was always worried, and he didn't talk much along the way, as if he was thinking about something. Because she was in a hurry, Wan'er had some doubts about the state of the ninefold, but she didn't delve into it.
The two were close to the border of Jiangnan, and they were physically and mentally exhausted, so they stopped at a teahouse to rest. Although it is a teahouse, it is actually just a simple shed with a few pillars and some fabrics, which is used to entertain passing business travelers and people from the rivers and lakes to rest.
Wan'er and Jiuzhong got off the horse, grabbed the reins, and walked in, and the shopkeeper was also clever, his eyes were extremely vicious, his experience was good, seeing Wan'er and the two, the woman was born with a beautiful appearance, the man was handsome and chic, and he had a different temperament when he went, and he was brightly dressed, wearing sharp weapons, knowing that these two people might be some big families or the sons of the big school, he didn't dare to slack off at the moment, so he beckoned the two forward, took the reins of the two, bolted the horse to the side, and beckoned Wan'er and the two to sit down, With a little awe, he asked, "Childe, miss, I don't know what the two of you want to do?"
Ye Jiuzhong has never been particular about these, just stroking the sword, frowning the sword eyebrows, not speaking, still thinking, inadvertently exuding a terrifying momentum around his body, shocking the shopkeeper's face pale, his legs trembling, he could only lower his head, not daring to look at Ye Jiuzhong. Seeing this, Wan'er smiled bitterly, and only raised her handprint on the arm of the shopkeeper, passed on some internal force, calmed down, and said softly: "Just bring us some tea and some steamed buns, it's troublesome." ”
The shopkeeper's complexion returned to normal, but he was also well-informed, knowing that it was the technique of the beautiful woman like a fairy in front of him, and he was even more in awe at the moment, nodding his head, not daring to look at the woman, so he quickly left here and went to prepare. Wan'er looked at the shopkeeper's posture, but sighed helplessly, turned to Zhentou, looked at Jiuchong, who was still thinking, and said suspiciously: "Brother Jiuzhong, along the way, you frowned and didn't talk much, what are you thinking?"
Ye Jiuzhong raised his head, frowned at the sword eyebrows, stared at the jade man in front of him, and said solemnly: "Wan'er, since the news of your return from the Ye League branch spread, a trace of uneasiness flashed in my heart, as if there were some aspects that we had overlooked. I hope I'm unfounded. ”
When Wan'er heard this, her eyebrows also frowned, a trace of light flashed in her beautiful eyes, and her expression became solemn, because with her understanding of Ye Jiuzhong, she knew that this man would not be lost for no reason, so she stretched out her soft hair and stroked the green silk of her sideburns, groaned slightly, and then frowned: "Brother Jiuzhong, do you mean that we didn't think it through, and we ignored some aspect?"
Ye Feng bowed slightly, still frowning, and Wan'er was also frowning, holding her chin in contemplation, and whispered softly: "If there is anything that is neglected, it can only be the Holy Gate." If we are the Holy Gate, we will also release the news of Brother Feng's fall from the cliff as soon as possible after the battle of the Demon Gate, which is reasonable, but if it is a heavenly opportunity, it is ......."
Wan'er's words came to this point, but there was a sudden pause, her beautiful eyes were condensed, her eyebrows were raised, and her starry eyes were slightly stared, and she looked at Jiuzhong in surprise, and Jiuzhong also looked at it solemnly. The two glanced at each other, and sighed in unison: "Heavenly Machine" Then, Wan'er stroked the green silk, shook her head lightly, and smiled helplessly: "If there is that Holy Gate Military Master, there will be a little more variables, I don't think about this problem from the perspective of Heavenly Machine." What we ignore is this Holy Gate Military Master, if I were a heavenly opportunity, I would make a move in advance, put forward the other party's purpose first, and then refute it preemptively, so that I would get twice the result with half the effort. ”
Wan'er's eyes flashed with wisdom, and she said confidently. Ye Jiuzhong looked at Wan'er in a daze, chuckled, and said, "You are really smart, if the heavenly machine is here, you will definitely be surprised." Wan'er smiled coquettishly, although it was her mistake, but she was still calm, and said lightly: "This time it was my mistake, but the Holy Gate must have made a move, and we can only find a way to deal with it now." It seems that I was too anxious to make a trip to the Magic Mountain and missed the news spread by the Holy Gate. ”
"The tea is here, and there are hot steamed buns" The voice of the shopkeeper sounded, interrupting Wan'er's thoughts, and the figure of the shopkeeper had already appeared in front of Wan'er, which made Wan'er's heart slightly cold, and she smiled and thanked quietly.
Then, Wan'er raised her head and looked around, looking at the humble teahouse. There is an old man on one side who is counting the accounts, and this is the shopkeeper. There are only a few wooden tables in the whole store, and there are not too many customers. Most of the guests at those tables were attracted by Wan'er's beauty, and they all looked at Wan'er, and when they saw Wan'er looking at them, they were all a little shy, and Wan'er responded with a smile. But there was a table closest to Wan'er, and the few people sitting there seemed to be people from the rivers and lakes, they were discussing hotly, and they didn't care about Wan'er's beauty, which attracted Wan'er's attention.
Wan'er glanced at Ye Jiuzhong, pointed to the table, and listened attentively.
A man whispered to the other two, "Do you know the truth? Recently, a big incident has happened in the rivers and lakes. Seeing the man's serious expression, Wan'er and the others were interested, so they pricked up their ears and listened carefully to what the man said.
"What's the big deal? Recently, junior brother, I have been practicing with my master, but I haven't had the opportunity to go out, and I haven't paid attention to the rivers and lakes for a long time. The other person sighed helplessly, and his words were quite envious of the people who could know the news of the rivers and lakes.
Another person took a sip of wine, raised his head, and said disdainfully: "What's the big deal? If it's the Demon Gate Battle some time ago, it doesn't need to be said, everyone knows the way, it is said that Ye Feng, the leader of the Ye Alliance, was also beaten into the cliff, but later he returned safely. ”
"Hehe nonsense" At first, the man sneered, raised his eyebrows, and said proudly, "You were deceived by the people of the Ye family, they released the news to stabilize people's hearts, in fact, Ye Feng fell into the cliff, and there was no way to come out at all, maybe they were all dead." ”
"Really, alas, if that's the case, Ye Meng will be in trouble, our hard days are here again, it seems that no one can stop the Holy Gate from dominating the rivers and lakes" The three of them all nodded and sighed.
Wan'er came back to her senses, raised her head, looked at Ye Jiuzhong, and chuckled: "Sure enough, it seems that this mistake has been a great blow to Ye Meng's brothers." The Holy Gate Military Master really lives up to his reputation, and I, Nangong Wan'er, am really convinced. ”
Ye Jiuzhong smiled lightly, raised his hand to Wan'er, and said softly: "You Nizi must not be presumptuous, you are not bad." But this is not a good thing......" Ye Jiuzhong paused when he said this, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Wan'er looked at Jiuzhong's smile, with some realization in her heart, and said suspiciously: "Brother Jiuzhong, you mean?"
