Chapter 299: Embarking on the Way Home
When I entered the city, it was already dark.
There are not many people on the streets in the early morning, but the shops open early.
Xu Zhen first went to the tailor shop to buy a white dress, and then saw the buns next door out of the cage, thinking that the senior sister Xian'er tossed for a night, she must be hungry, so she went to the next door to buy buns, and when he paid the money, he saw two fast horses clucking and running straight towards him, the fat and thin on the horse were both wearing black robes, he recognized that this was the dress of the corpse cultist, and thought that the person who came was not good, so he dodged aside and was secretly vigilant.
Who knew that the two Banner Corpse Sect disciples were arrogant, but they didn't come at Xu Zhen.
They reined in front of the door, threw a silver ingot to the seller of steamed buns, and shouted:
"Boss, just like last time, load two hundred buns for you. ”
The steamed bun seller accepted the silver and smiled from ear to ear: "Okay, wait a minute, two masters." ”
Xu Zhen really thought, more is better than less. After settling the account and about to leave, I heard the fat man say to the thin man: "These days, the people of Xuan Xianliu are all crazy, obviously Xie Gongbao killed Ruan Mengying, but it is on our heads, saying that Xie Gongbao was deceived by our young master, it is really wronged, come on, leave quickly after selling the buns, so as not to bump into these crazy people and entangle with us again." ”
Hearing this, Xu Zhen suddenly thundered like thunder, and his whole body stiffened.
What! Is Uncle Ruan dead? Is it really Senior Brother Gong Bao who killed her?
It's impossible, no matter how mixed up Senior Brother Gong Bao is, he won't kill Uncle Ruan!
Although he maintained this conviction, Ke Xin kept jumping, and when he saw the two Banner Corpse Cultists frowning and sighing, it was not like laughing, and his heart was even more numb, and he couldn't help but secretly say: "Hmph! Xie Gongbao was born evil, does he have a reason for wanting to kill people!" He felt that he couldn't just leave, and he had to continue to listen, so he walked to the side and sat on the steps while listening while nibbling on buns.
Seeing that the fat man's words fell, the thin man sighed three times in a row, and took over the conversation:
"I didn't expect Xie Gongbao to actually attack Ruan Mengying, it is rumored that Wang Zhongshu and Jiang Zaiqian witnessed the entire murder process, otherwise no one would believe it when they said it. To say that this Xie Gongbao is really evil, when he returned to the ruins, he didn't even want his own life in order to save Ruan Mengying, how could he turn his face in the blink of an eye? Could it be that he really confused the young master?"
The fat man looked left and right, and lowered his voice: "Okay, don't say it, the altar master explains, no one is allowed to mention the three words Xie Gongbao in the future, especially in front of the young master, she must be more cautious when speaking, she still doesn't know what has happened recently, if she knows that Xie Gongbao is chasing and killing Xuan Xianliu, then she must not make a fuss." ”
The thin man nodded: "Yes, yes, don't say it." ”
At this point, the two closed their mouths and said no more.
After a while, he twisted two hundred buns and galloped across the horse.
......
......
After the two corpse disciples left, Xu Zhen's face was bitter and sad. He didn't dare to be sure of the truth of this matter, but it was not necessarily groundless, since he happened to hear about Ruan Mengying's death, whether it was true or not, he wanted to tell Yan Xian'er, but he didn't know how to speak?
Returning to the place where Yan Xian'er was trapped last night, he stopped with a weak heart.
Then he took a deep breath, squeezed a smile at the corner of his mouth, and dared to enter the hole.
He handed the clothes and buns to Yan Xian'er, and then drilled out of the hole and waited.
This cave is very dark, Yan Xian'er touched the edge of the cave and could see it clearly by the light outside, seeing Xu Zhen standing far away, she was relieved to slowly put on new clothes, and after changing her clothes, she walked to the stone and sat down with slender steps, quietly gnawed a bun, and when she was full, Xu Zhen handed over another bun, she shook her head and said: "You eat it yourself, I'm full." Senior Brother Xu, it's been difficult for you for these three months, although I don't want you to follow me, but I still have to be grateful to you, so let's go back to Tianbei with me to take a good bath, sleep, and go back to Shimen tomorrow. ”
Xu Zhen smiled bitterly: "You have driven me ten times in the past three months." ”
Yan Xian'er habitually bowed her hands to her stomach, her demeanor was elegant and apologetic, and she was silent for a long time: "I know more or less your thoughts, and it is for your good that I drive you away, I don't want you to waste your time on me." ”
Xu Zhen's face turned red, like a thief being caught: "I don't have that mind." ”
Yan Xian'er raised her eyebrows and looked at Xu Zhen, she has a withdrawn temperament, there are not many people who can fit in her heart, and she didn't even say a word when she met Xu Zhen in the past, not to mention insight into her thoughts. During this time, she was vaguely aware of it, and felt that Xu Zhen's concern for her was beyond the feelings of her brother and sister, she was quite disgusted, and she didn't want to pay attention to it, if Xu Zhen hadn't come to help last night, she wouldn't have said that "thought" gratefully today, so as to wake up Xu Zhen.
Seeing that Xu Zhen denied it, Yan Xian'er didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, so the conversation changed:
"Go back to the master tomorrow, I'll send you, now follow me back to the heavenly beggar gang." ”
Xu Zhen shouted and waited, and then his face was sad, and he sighed in the sky:
"Hey, don't wait for tomorrow, we'll go back to the division now. ”
Yan Xian'er said: "Senior Brother Xu, why don't you understand, as long as your master is in one day, I think I can't go back to my master for the time being, as long as I don't go back to my master, my mother and my master can be safe, please explain the reason to the master for me when you go back, that will help me." ”
"I understand, but Uncle Ruan ....... ”
Xu Zhen choked on his words, frowned and walked back and forth. He didn't know whether to say it directly, so he pinched it for a while, turned his heart sideways, and said, "Senior Sister Xian'er, you have to go back with me, because Uncle Ruan is ...... I'm afraid I'm gone. ”
The corners of Yan Xian'er's mouth were angry: "Don't talk nonsense!"
"Senior sister, when have you ever seen nonsense. Xu Zhen was afraid that Yan Xian'er would not believe it, so he immediately told him about the bad news in Youdu City, and even bluntly said that Xie Gongbao killed Ruan Mengying, and he didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional.
Yan Xian'er was shocked physically and mentally when she heard this: "What you said is true or false!"
Xu Zhenlang said: "If there is half a lie, I will not die well." ”
Yan Xian'er's lips opened slightly, her eyes were straight, and she was stunned for a while.
When he came back to his senses, his whole body trembled, and he seemed to be unable to stand even on his feet.
She stood firmly with her hands on the rock wall, trying not to let herself cry:
"This is fake, I don't believe it, Gong Bao will not kill my master. ”
Xu Zhense said: "That's why we have to go back for verification." ”
The corners of Yan Xian'er's mouth trembled, her nose was sour, she couldn't hold back it, and she shed a few lines of tears. She didn't want Xu Zhen to see her sad tears, so she turned her head away and secretly wiped away the tears: "Rumors, they must be rumors, Gong Bao usually respects my master the most, and he has no reason to be a killer." Okay, I'll go back to the master with you, and I'll come back after seeing the master. ”
Xu Zhen was sad for the death of his uncle, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but feel a trace of joy in his heart.
At that moment, he led a hand forward and beckoned Yan Xian'er to set off, and the two embarked on their way home.
