Heroes of the Fantasy World

Chapter 240 Sword Qi and Xiao Xin
(27)

On the same night, another pair of travelers was recuperating in a corner of the suburbs.For some special reason, even though they were only one step away from Cangzhou City, they were unwilling to take another step in that direction.

Bai Feng and Murong Yan knew that they were lucky to escape from Mei Lin's hands last time, so they decided not to throw themselves into the trap again and enter Cangzhou City, but chose to wait for news in a small shop in the countryside.They obtained a few silver coins from Su Qing as a reward for rescuing their father and son, and arranged a place to stay overnight before sunset.

It's just that a woman with a disguise like Murong Yan suddenly appeared in the countryside, stopping among those simple and simple shops where only grooms and brokers on the road would usually stay. It was naturally very abrupt.

Just imagine, a young woman with a light veil on her face and a silk dress passing by a bunch of vulgar strangers who are dusty day by day and work hard every night, even though the heavy makeup on this young woman's face has faded , there is also a big gray cloak on the body, which conceals a lot of beauty, but in this kind of place, it is still enough to become a unique scenery.

The hospitable storekeeper intends to win people's hearts. Maybe he sees the extraordinary appearance of the customer and thinks that he must be of high status.Who would have expected that he, who had seen countless people of all teachings and high-levels, missed his eyes this time: Bai Feng and Murong Yan checked into the small shop before sunset, and they only needed some tea and dry food, and they never stepped out of the door again .

In the wing room, only the outward window would be opened from time to time. The woman didn't take off her cloak even though she was indoors, looking out from the window, as if she was expecting something.

Sure enough, not long after sunset, an old man and a young man came to the inn in a broken carriage.The boy ran straight into the wing room with a stack of new clothes and a letter, and then came out empty-handed, with a weird look on his face—he was obviously doing a grocery delivery job, not only painstakingly, but also a meager reward, but he had a An extremely satisfied expression.

Someone stopped him when he was about to return to the carriage, and asked, "Hey, that pretty girl is your lady, right? It's such a grand occasion, and even a piece of clothing has to be delivered by someone?"

"My lady?" The boy replied: "That girl, how can I have the qualifications to serve her? Besides, no one else needs me to serve her, I just did something within my ability..."

After finishing speaking, the young man waved goodbye, and immediately went back to the carriage, and drove the horse away.

Hearing such remarks, all the good-natured people thought that there was something and a noble person living in that shabby house, and they all discussed to "look up".They winked with the innkeeper in an extremely tacit understanding, and then quietly walked to the place where they stayed.

It can be seen that this is not their first crime.

They found the wing where the travelers lived, and peered at each other through the partition wall.They were very familiar with every corner of the inn, and they knew which mound of stones and soil to remove, so that they could silently observe the details of the prey in the dark.

However, just when they thought about doing something wrong, the door of the next room was suddenly opened.

He only heard dignified footsteps coming from outside, and he quickly walked downstairs.

"Treasurer, this is all our money, please don't reveal our whereabouts to anyone." A beautiful female voice pierced through the deadly air.

"Yes... yes, that's natural. Guest officer, go slowly!"

Afterwards, the two steeds howled in the night sky one by one, and then stepped on the fallen leaves in the autumn wind, and gradually went away.

The group of good people dared to come out from the dark place after hearing them going far away, and had a round with the shopkeeper of the black shop, thinking: "If someone finds out just now, that swordsman will definitely kill us all!"

"We are just petty theft, and we never want to do this kind of loss-making business!"

"How about going to see what clues they left in the room?"

After hearing this, several people nodded their heads in approval.

After searching for a long time, they only found a set of clothes with ragged sleeves stained a little blood, and a pile of waste paper that had been burned to ashes, but nothing else was found.

God didn't give these thieves a chance to think, and the inn was gradually surrounded by a mess of horseshoes. Some of the thieves climbed out of the window to look out, and found that there were officers and soldiers several times their number outside!
The thieves who knew they had nowhere to go thought that these officers and soldiers were here to wipe them out, so they panicked. Someone jumped out of the window directly, intending to escape into the deep forest in the dark, but unfortunately broke his leg and was caught by a few big guns Some people went directly to the hidden place, shiveringly hid themselves like a child playing hide-and-seek; only the shopkeeper could only go outside to greet the guests with a shy face, and he could only hope for himself His superb rhetoric.

This moment is like a frightened bird, only those who usually do bad things secretly will be caught.

In fact, this group of officers and soldiers came here not at all to catch thieves who opened a black shop, but the "fugitive" they really wanted to catch was a terminally ill lady.

Obviously, the letter that was burnt to ashes was written by the lady and her husband.

Su Qing took Xiang Chuchu and the little maid Zichai, and drove to a place at least twenty miles away from Cangzhou City, heading towards a famous place.They reminded Baifeng's officers and soldiers that they would flock to them through handwritten letters, and then agreed to gather in the temple where Xiangchuchu had prayed and prayed.

Abbot Kuga, the abbot of the temple, is a well-informed person. Baifeng and his party knew about this before, so they chose to hide there temporarily for the night.

Su Qing was a big thief and a flower picker in his early years, which is well-known in Changlu.It stands to reason that the temple would never accept such a notorious disciple. Perhaps Xiang Chuchu's previous prayers had an effect, and the people in the Buddhist temple were very willing to help them. The monks headed by the monk Kuwo all thought: "A person who sincerely worships Buddha like Mrs. Xiang will never make friends with treacherous and swindlers."

It is only heard that those who have never met before are naturally easy to smile away their grievances, but for Xiang Chuchu, Su Qing is not only her benefactor, but also her enemy, such a cause and effect, such a fact will never change because of how long things have passed a cent.

She hopes that Su Qing can feel her love, and even more hope that Su Qing can feel the sense of loss that cannot be loved for once.Perhaps it was such a contradictory emotion that made her hysteria unable to be cured.

They hid in the temple to discuss where to go afterwards.In front of everyone, Xiang Chuchu could dignifiedly suggest that Su Qing obey Baifeng's request and interfere in the marriage of Zhao's younger sister, saying: "Compared to being loyal to the people in the court, you have to go through endless hardships every day. With the rest of the party fighting against dissidents, isn't Beizhen a good place to go?"

Su Qing was naturally very happy to hear that her virtuous wife was so supportive, even though this incident had inadvertently opened up Xiang Chuchu's wounds and made her heart feel heavier and heavier.

They are united because of grievances, and eventually they will inevitably part because of grievances.
