Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

Chapter 60: Go faster
When Wei Xi woke up in the morning, he almost stepped on Lian Gou-hei who was sleeping in a sprawled state.

Looking at Qin Feng who was sleeping straight on his side in the bed, Wei Xi closed his eyes.

Wei Xi opened her eyes and grabbed Lingyin, who was sleeping with her wings tucked up beside her pillow. This bird had been perched on her head every day, and its feathers were dirty from all the running around.

Wei Xi finally managed to clean up yesterday, but she didn't take care of the bird. Now Wei Xi is going to clean up the bird.

Lingyin was woken up by Wei Xi and called out a few times, waking Qin Feng up.

"What are you holding it for?" Qin Feng was not in a hurry. He just wanted to lie down for a while.

"Give it a bath, it's so dirty."

Qin Feng looked at Wei Xi's washed hair and thought that Lingyin really needed to be washed. This bird nested on Wei Xi's head all day long. If he hadn't seen it flying in the secret realm before, Qin Feng would have thought that the bird had lost its ability to fly.

When Wei Xi was in Xizhou, her mother loved cleanliness. She would pull Wei Dong's ears every day to make him wash his face and hands. Although the clothes of the four members of the family had patches, they were all clean.

Wei Xi always retaliated fiercely when she was bullied. Besides her personality, it was also partly because her mother had more clothes to wash.

Qin Feng finally got up from the bed. He saw Lian Gouye still sound asleep and stepped on his arm. "Wake up! Lingyin is awake!"

"Can't we take another day off?" Lian Gouyu turned over, covering his arm with his hands, before opening his eyes. "You stepped on my hand, and I won't be able to paint for three months."

"No, and I stepped on your left arm." Qin Feng moved quickly and finished washing up before Lian Gou Xie got up with a groan.

Wei Xi grabbed the cleaned Lingyin and returned to the guest room to see Lian Gouyu tidying up the bed, while Qin Feng sat at the table combing his hair. Wei Xi put Lingyin on the table to let her drink some water while he went to wash his face.

"Where did you wash this bird? Why isn't it wet?" Qin Feng looked at Lingyin's blue feathers that had regained their luster, feeling a little curious.

"The bird can be washed with sand, without getting its feathers wet. There's no snow now, otherwise the bluebird could be washed with snow."

"Can you use snow to wash the bird?" Lian Gouqie came over after tidying up his bedding. He had always been interested in the bird raised by Wei Xi. When no one was watching, he stretched out his finger and poked Lingyin's chest while she was drinking water.

Lingyin moved her butt.

"I just looked. Those barbarians are eating downstairs. There are a few carts carrying goods parked outside the post station. They look like they belong to them. If there are any swords, they should be hidden inside."

Qin Feng handed the comb to Wei Xi, who had just washed his face. "Boluo and Ju have been in constant conflict in recent years. I think the border is heavily guarded. They will definitely not let the Hu people in easily with swords and knives."

"Those burly men, like little towers, are enough to give anyone a hard time, whether they're using swords or not," Lian Gouyu said pertinently, recalling the barbarian's size. "Look at them, how could they possibly be without swords?"

Qin Feng also had something to say: "The soldiers of Ju State are no pushovers. They may not have weapons like swords, but perhaps daggers or something like that, which are easier to hide."

Lian Gouqie went to see Wei Xi, who pondered for a moment and said, "These are all speculations. It depends on what they are going to Tangkou Town for."

"It's not a good thing. If you are traveling for business or diplomatic mission, why bother to dress up?" Qin Feng's voice was so cold that even Gou Xie shrank his neck.

"Do the Hu people have any support in Ju State?" Because they all had to go to Tangkou Town, Wei Xi had to pay attention to this wave of Hu people.

"It's a matter of reciprocity. Sometimes there's no need to teach," Qin Feng said tactfully. "It's just that privately storing weapons and armor is a serious crime, and they can't hide many weapons."

"There are only seven or eight of them," Lian Gouyue stuffed the bedding into Qin Feng's open Qiankun bag, "and we don't need many to arm them."

"Nine people," Wei Xi updated the information, "Except the eight people at the dinner table yesterday, they also have a groom to guard the horses and vehicles." "Do we still have to go to Sucheng?" Lian Gouqie asked?

Originally, the three of them planned to go to the Sucheng government office to ask for some tokens for safety, but now something unexpected has happened. At the very least, those Hu people might affect this training. At the most, Lian Gouqie glanced at Qin Feng, who looked unhappy. That was a big deal.

"It's only two days' journey from here to Tangkou Town. If we go to Suzhou first, we'll definitely be controlled by others." Qin Feng added another reason, "They're using trucks as cover, so they're definitely not as fast as us on horseback. We need to get them to Tangkou Town first so we can react quickly."

As if he had thought of something, Lian Gouqie urged, "They are all getting ready to leave, why aren't we leaving yet?"

"It's okay. It's easy to be discovered if we follow them. I've recited a tracking trick." Wei Xi was quite meticulous in her work. Even if this group of people didn't take the same route as them, they wouldn't lose track of each other.

"What Qin Feng said makes sense, and we have no advantage against them. If we send people to Sucheng to report the news, we will probably suffer losses." Wei Xi's eyes turned and he had an idea in his mind.

"Go down and prepare some dry food and horses, and we'll be on our way when we're ready."

Ever since Wei Xi demonstrated his keen observation and quick wit in the secret realm, Qin Feng and Lian Gouwei have taken Wei Xi's decision as their guiding principle and immediately did as Wei Xi said.

Wei Xize sat down and wrote a letter, attaching the task card given to him by his senior brother on duty at Shuang Palace when he accepted the task.

Each disciple who accepted the task was given one of these things, which contained a summary of the task, the sect, and the name of the license holder. Wei Xi stuffed his own piece into the bamboo tube used for letters.

After doing this, she went downstairs to find Qin Feng and Lian Gouye.

Qin Feng and the manager of the post station bought a horse. When Wei Xi came down, the manager smiled so much that his face blossomed.

"If the post station won't sell, we can find another way." Wei Xi said to Qin Feng. How could the horses at the post station be sold or bought casually? Besides, Wei Xi didn't want to ride a horse anymore.

Lian Gou'e's expression was complicated. He had discovered that Qin Feng was really far ahead in some aspects.

For example, when the two of them came down to find the manager, Qin Feng directly showed a tiger-head token and said frankly that he wanted to buy three horses. The manager took the token, looked at it carefully, and then respectfully returned it to Qin Feng, telling him to choose.

Qin Feng said that he didn't need the horses raised by the post station, he just wanted the horses raised privately by these people. As he spoke, he handed a bag of silver to the manager.

"You've been on horseback for five days now," Qin Feng said to Wei Xi. "They said you were young, but that was a while ago. Children at the border can ride horses just fine at the age of three. Just bear with it!"

Wei Xi had a blank expression on her face, but Lian Gouqie knew that Qin Feng had exposed her little thoughts.

"Steward, please deliver something to the Suzhou government office." Wei Xi handed the sealed bamboo tube to the steward.

The steward took the bamboo tube, glanced at Qin Feng and said, "Masters, I'm afraid it won't work if we rush it. After all..."

"I know. Please send it over as soon as possible and tell the people in the government office that it was sent by the Immortal Sect." Qin Feng said. Her tiger-head token was used by the families of the generals of Ju State. The people at the post station were willing to sell her the horse after seeing the token, but it was impossible to express the military information urgently.

After resolving these matters, the three of them mounted their horses and set off for Tangkou Town.
