One or two branches of plum outside the bamboo

Chapter 273
The sun is slowly rising, and the air in the woods is getting fresher and fresher. Several children have been beaten and scolded and worried during this period of time, but they have relaxed for a while, and a few children are already drowsy.

It's good at a young age, heartless, and a little kind to them, I think Yan Qingzhi and his party are good people.

The older kids remained wary.

Yan Qingzhi glanced at them and said nothing.

The sound of insects and birds in the woods was especially loud, and the traces left by the carriage could not be dissipated for a long time.

Yan Qingzhi didn't go down to cover it up, it was not easy to remove these traces.

There are too many children in this car, and the method of abandoning the car to divert attention is not applicable.

Those children who are not fully clothed always have to enter the city, and when they enter the city, they are not all exposed.

Yan Qingzhu didn't speak, and now he was just taking a step by step.

Yan Qingzhi was riding a horse, thinking about how to arrange the next journey, how to take these children out, or find a place to stay...

There was a sudden light in front of her, and she raised her head in surprise and looked in the bright direction, feeling slightly uneasy.

After a while, they had already left the forest.

Yan Qingzhi turned her head to look in Yan Qingzhu's direction. They were not familiar with the road here. She was worried that Yan Qingzhu was going in the wrong direction.

"How did you get out of the woods?"

Seeing the scene in front of him, Yan Qingzhu was also surprised.

"Shouldn't! I've seen the map before, and there shouldn't be a forest here yet..."

Yan Qingzhu stretched out his hand to hold the reins, and the carriage rushed forward two more steps before it stopped. His previous relaxed expression disappeared without a trace, obviously he did not expect such a situation.

Seeing this, Yan Qingzhi couldn't help but panic. If there were only a few of them, they would be able to break through in any situation in front of them, but now there are a group of children in the carriage behind them. Swords and swords have no eyes. If there is a fight, just those few The child's small body can kill several with one knife.

"Map? Is the map out of date?"

Yan Qingzhi would not suspect that Yan Qingzhu had made a mistake, she was just afraid that the map would take too long and the specific situation had changed.

Yan Qingzhu frowned. The map here is rough and simple. A map will take many years, and it is normal to have changes. He just didn't expect that the changes would be here.

"It's hard to say, but since there is a change, it means that there may be someone ahead, so let's go around it!"

To be on the safe side, Yan Qingzhu didn't rush over, but decided to take a detour when he didn't meet anyone else.

His reaction made Yan Qingzhi instantly alert, which was different from the style Yan Qingzhu had come all the way, and it was obviously not what he expected.

Yan Qingzhi couldn't help thinking of the predictive ability that Yan Qingzhu had said before.

At that time, he was vague, and Yan Qingzhi did not believe it completely, but now, the drawbacks are revealed!

Yan Qingzhi looked at Yan Qingzhu calmly, and guessed silently in his heart that Yan Qingzhu did not anticipate the current situation, whether it was because his ability to predict was not strong, or because he temporarily changed his mind about not going to the auction.

Yan Qingzhu guessed what she was thinking just by looking at Yan Qingzhi's expression.

He didn't answer, but flicked his whip and drove the carriage to the middle of the wider trees.

The road in the woods is not easy to walk, and the horse is unwilling to take such a road. Being chased by Yan Qingzhu is also a slap in the face, because the carriage is too heavy, and it is still a little angry.

Yan Qingzhi followed closely behind him and lowered his body a little on his horse, trying to get through between the two trees, but just as he lowered his head, a man's voice came not far away.

The man's voice was still that of a man, but he deliberately spoke in a hoisted voice, as if he wanted to make his voice thinner.

"Since you're here, why don't you come and sit?"

The moment Yan Qingzhi heard the voice, a sense of discomfort filled her heart, and she no longer got out of the tree, and her head instantly turned to the direction of the sun.

Yan Qingzhu's expression also changed instantly. This man did not know how to make his voice sound ethereal and distant.

It's just a pity, if you have a good voice, it will definitely make people refreshing, but it's so pretentious, it's creepy.

The children who were dozing off were instantly refreshed when they heard the movement.

One of the little kids plunged into the arms of the older kid next to him and muttered softly.

"Brother...I'm afraid..."

His brother hurried to cover his mouth, but it was too late!

"Afraid? What are you afraid of? Are you afraid of me?"

In just this moment, the voice got a little closer, and as he got closer, the voice seemed to vibrate around Yan Qingzhi and the others, making it impossible to tell the source of the voice for a while.

This time, it wasn't just that one child who was afraid. A group of children turned into quails, and their heads were all stuck together.

Jun Tongyue was also a little flustered, holding Yan Qingzhi's arm subconsciously.

Yan Qingzhi was so frightened that she quickly slapped Jun Tongyue's hand away. She still had a soft sword wrapped around her waist. Who knows if it would be dangerous if she was strangled like this.

Jun Tongyue also remembered this after feeling the texture of the hilt, but before she could relax, she heard footsteps.

In an instant, the end of the woods where the sunlight could still be seen just now was covered in darkness and was blocked by a large group of people.

And after the ethereal voice finally sounded again, it became grounded.

"Xia Liu Huaixiang, I've been waiting for a few people for a long time!"

If Yan Qingzhi heard the name just now, he might have been excited, thinking about killing people and picking them up.

But now, listening to the dense footsteps, she just wanted to run.

Yan Qingzhu and she are worthy of being siblings, and their first reactions are the same.

Before he could say anything else over there, his whip had already been swung down.

"drive!"

He lowered his voice and drove the car, trying to get around here as soon as possible.

Yan Qingzhi also lowered her body for the sake of face, and hurriedly followed through the tree.

It's just that their actions have not yet been implemented, and they heard footsteps on the other side. When they looked up again, they were blocked by people!

And these people are obviously trainers.

Seeing that they were about to charge directly, Yan Qingzhu hurriedly pulled on the reins and was about to turn around. There must be chasing soldiers behind them, and he didn't want to waste time here at all.

However, he reluctantly turned the horse's head around, and footsteps were already heard from the direction behind Yan Qingzhi.

And then the direction when they came...

These people clearly want to block them from front to back, left and right, and make a big encirclement!
Yan Qingzhu's movements stopped suddenly, he looked around with a serious expression, the footsteps were getting closer and closer, and he gradually emerged from the shade of the trees.

Yan Qingzhi didn't look at those people, her eyes were on Liu Huaixiang at the moment.

The man was of medium height and had an excessively slender figure. He was dressed in a leaf-colored shirt embroidered with silver clouds and dark patterns. The style was between a man's tunic and a woman's sur skirt. A charming feeling.

His appearance is also delicate and gentle, his skin is lustrous, his lips are red and his teeth are white.

Yan Qingzhi frowned.

Everyone's preferences are different, others have no right to speak, the other party has the ability and energy, it doesn't matter what you dress up as.

What makes her uncomfortable is how this person makes her feel.

"What? I'm a little surprised to see this?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, Yan Qingzhi finally understood where his uncomfortable feeling came from!

She sighed deeply, feeling that the pressure around her was getting stronger and stronger, she hesitated for a while, and didn't dare to say what she thought.

Seeing her silence, Yan Qingzhu's speech without hesitation attracted Liu Huaixiang's eyes.

"Accidental, not unexpected. There are so many people waiting for us here in this forest. It is not surprising that there are so many people waiting for us in this forest!"

Yan Qingzhu did not answer his question, because in his opinion, appearance cannot be chosen, and there is no need to emphasize anything.

Moreover, although Liu Huaixiang dressed herself up like she is now, he still asked Yan Qingzhi with such sharp questions at this moment, clearly because he cared.

Obviously caring, but still doing this, is similar to the relationship between inferiority and arrogance.

Only if you are not confident enough will you care about other people's eyes.

Yan Qingzhu could see through this at a glance, but he didn't want to entangle with the other party because of it.

His method of changing the topic made Liu Huaixiang somewhat useful, and his smile was two points sincerity.

"Oh? It's a tongue-in-cheek statement, but it's confusing!"

Yan Qingzhu smiled.

"What's the point of this? We, the out-of-towners who have no power, can just find a guide who has some skills if we don't arrange it!"

"As soon as I paid attention to what was flammable in the auction item, a box of artillery shells used by the imperial court appeared in the auction item. Does this mean that it is not surprising that someone is blocking it here?"

After Yan Qingzhi heard this, Yuanyuan's eyes widened again, and she turned to look at Yan Qingzhu with worry in her eyes.

If this is the case, their every move is under the surveillance of others, how can they get out of the current predicament today.

For the first time, she felt that Yan Qingzhu was really worthless!

How can something like this go wrong? Isn't this a terrible thing!

She often said that she was not afraid of death, and that she had the spirit of not being afraid of death.

Aren't fear of death and death can be the same! ?

This kind of feat of traveling all the way to send people's heads is so touching!

After listening to Yan Qingzhu's words, Liu Huaixiang did not refute, but asked lightly.

"So, why are you surprised?"

Yan Qingzhu held his breath, and felt that the footsteps around him had finally stopped within a certain range before he spoke.

"I was surprised that there was a garden in front of it, and it wasn't newly built!"

The light on that end was too bright, and the garden was not too close to this side, so Yan Qingzhu couldn't see it clearly, but he just had an inexplicable feeling that there should be a garden there.

And it's a small garden.

Liu Huaixiang laughed when she heard this.

"You came in with one head, it's God's will!"

Speaking of this, the surrounding atmosphere suddenly stagnates, and after the greeting, it is the opposite situation that has to be faced!

All Liu Huaixiang wanted was Sun Xuan, and he had already killed Yan Qingzhi.

Although he doesn't know how to control the evil methods of the Corpse Sect, he can also see that a few people have such strength at a young age.

Cutting the grass without eradicating the roots means not cutting the grass.

Seeing this, Yan Qingzhu beckoned to indicate that he had something to say. Just as Liu Huaixiang raised her hand, she wanted to signal the people around her to come together, but was interrupted by his movement.

Liu Huaixiang was not so wary of them. Among the four people, Yan Qingzhi was the only one who could make him pay attention, and today's game was not something that Yan Qingzhi's strength could change.

"Oh? What do you have to say?"

Yan Qingzhu's thumping heart just now calmed down a little with the quietness of the people around him.

"In the current situation, of course, you have the upper hand. It seems that you want to kill us, but it's just a matter of words!"

Liu Huaixiang looked at Yan Qingzhu with some interest, and he stood there holding his shoulders, wanting to hear what Yan Qingzhu could say to make him change his mind.

"However, I have a feeling that I don't think you may be able to get your wish today."

Yan Qingzhu's chin was slightly raised, and the words were so confident that Yan Qingzhi, who was usually very mocking, couldn't help but feel ashamed.

This is not a provocation when you say it! ?

Yan Qingzhi couldn't help but feel a little flustered, and her hand was already clenching the hilt of the sword around her waist.

She is ready. If there is a fight in a while, she will just do her best to send Yan Qingzhu and Jun Tongyue out of the battle, and try to get them out of here as much as possible.

She can't control Lu Jian, and they have no plans to kill Lu Jian. It is up to him to work hard whether he lives or dies.

As for herself, Yan Qingzhi didn't dare to think about it.

To be honest, no one thinks they are going to die!

Even in the current situation, Yan Qingzhi never thought that she would die.

Until Yan Qingzhu said that...

Liu Huaixiang couldn't help laughing, the corners of her lips drew a perfect arc, and the muscles on her face were just right to complete a standard smile.

"so what?"

This short-term temptation allowed the two to understand each other, and Yan Qingzhu believed that he could get the answer he wanted.

"So, let's make a bet!"

That clumsy disguise couldn't hide Yan Qingzhu's self-confidence, Liu Huaixiang looked at his youthful spirit and couldn't help but move.

"No one has bet against me for many years! However, since you said it, then it's okay for us to bet."

Yan Qingzhu tilted his head and smiled, with pride in his smile.

"Let's bet our lives! I'll bet a secret with you using Song Boqing's secret technique!"

As soon as Yan Qingzhu's voice fell, Liu Huaixiang raised her eyebrows.

"That's a good idea! But how can we bet?"

In addition to the expressionless dead men that Liu Huaixiang cultivated, the people around also turned their heads to look at Yan Qingzhu curiously.

And Yan Qingzhu took out a cloth from his arms and held it up.

"Song Boqing's secret technique is on me. As long as I die, the things are yours. In the same way, you write your secrets on paper and put them on your body. If any of us dies, the other party can get the other party's things. ,How about it?!"
