Hidden Blade Chapter 52: Yanlai City
Three days later, Qingzhou geese came to the city.
Xu Cheng, the young prefect of Yanlai City, stood at the gate of the city in the morning, with seven or eight guards waiting for the arrival of Linglong Pavilion's disciples.
Recently, the news of evil spirits in the city has been spreading. Xu Chengan has asked the court for help several times and has not received a response. In desperation, he can only pin his hopes in Linglong Pavilion.
and Linglong Pavilion is worthy of being the first sect of the righteous way, and several disciples have been sent here early to investigate the matter of the evil.
But I don’t want those disciples of Linglong Pavilion with high vision to die bizarrely after several days of investigation. Xu Cheng’an was afraid that the incident would be revealed, making Yanlaicheng, who was already panicked, cry more and more. Under pressure. But every time he thought of the tragic death of those disciples, Xu Chengan's heart was gloomy.
Fortunately, after Linglong Pavilion learned of the deaths of several disciples, he sent more people. Xu Chengan believed that with Linglong Pavilion's skills, this time the evil should be no more serious.
According to the previously agreed time, Xu Chengan led a few guards at the gate of the city and waited for about a quarter of an hour.
Suddenly, he saw a group of men and horses appearing in the distance. The few people headed by them were all fresh-clothed angry horses, and they were very handsome, and at first glance they were men of extraordinary origin.
"It should be them." He nodded to the surrounding guards, and a group of people hurriedly greeted him at that time.
"Your Excellency is the deacon sent by Linglong Pavilion?" Xu Chengan asked when he walked to the crowd.
"I and others are all disciples in the court, come here to investigate the evil, and may I ask you who are you?" the black swordsman led the response.
disciple? Xu Chengan was taken aback for a moment. He looked up and down the group of people. The three headed by him were a man in black with a long knife on his back, a woman in white with Qingfeng in hand, and a man in white robe, who was a little younger. Some, their breath is stable, and they don't seem to be a martial artist.
These three are the disciples of Linglong Pavilion who went on the road with Xu Han, You Lingqu, Bai Fengyi, and Luo Wengu.
This time, I lost two direct disciples. Why did you send disciples here this time?
Xu Chengan thought secretly in his heart, but he still eagerly responded: "In Xia, this wild goose is coming to the city's prefect, I will come to meet you before." He said, and glanced slightly behind them, this time. There are about 30 people in the team, which is a lot more than the last time. The anxiety in his heart eased a little, and then he hurriedly said with a smile: "Waiting for you all for a long time, I want to come to this road, please come in quickly, I have prepared a luncheon, and entertain you all."
Xu Chengan’s attitude is something that makes people unable to spot the fault, but some of his previous mistakes were still in full view by You Ling.
He was despised by the people on his way because of Fang Ziyu's affairs before, and his mood was not depressed. That's all, but the young prefect in front of him is also the same. The anger in Qu's heart was ignited again.
"Hmph, we have something important, so please take us to see the corpse." He let out a cold snort, and said, the dissatisfaction in his tone made Luo Wengu and Bai Feng next to him Yi could not help frowning.
Although Xu Chengan is not very old, he is an eye-catching lord. He doesn’t change his face at the moment, and still smiles: "You heroes care about the people in my city so much. It’s the blessing of the wild goose coming to the city. Take you there."
After that, he winked at the guards again. The guards came over knowingly, and hurriedly lined up the crowds entering and exiting the city gate, leading everyone toward the city of Yanlai.
......
Goose Lai City is a pretty good city in Qingzhou.
Although it is far from the land and the outstanding people, it is also located on the border of Qingzhou, quite close to Liangzhou. Every winter, in order to prepare for the business in the beginning of spring, the merchants in Qingzhou will organize a formation to set off from Qingzhou and pass by Yanlaicheng went to Liangzhou.
But today is different. The monsters in Yanlai City are making a lot of noise. Many dart teams prefer to take a long route rather than wade in the muddy waters of Yanlai City.
drove an inn and leaned on the dart team to eat every winter, Hu Er could not help frowning whenever he thought of this.
"Go, grandpa, I have no food to eat, so how can I have any extra food for you." He was extremely impatient and dismissed the beggars who were begging at the door. He seemed to have seen something very special, and there was a dazzling brilliance in those dead fish eyes, as if a hungry leopard finally found a fat and tender lamb in the wilderness.
I saw a group of young girls in Jinyi walking in the distance. A group of people walked around to see if they weren't locals, but the clothes were definitely not ordinary people. Even one of the teenagers with a black cat on his shoulders gave the beggars some silver coins.
is a big business.
Hu Er licked his lips, a thick smile hurriedly piled up on his face, and quickly walked to the front of the boys and girls.
"Oh, I said that when I opened the door today, I saw a magpie yelling. It turned out that a distinguished customer came to the door. It's really good luck, good luck!" Hu Er smiled and stood on his shoulder. In front of the cat boy, said flatteringly.
Those boys and girls obviously didn't think of Hu Er's scene. They were taken aback for a while, and they looked at Hu Er with a little alertness.
"There are also magpies in the big winter. Brother is really lucky." The boy with the black cat on his shoulders was quite calm. He glanced at the thin middle-aged man in front of him lightly. Said.
"Hey..." Hu Er only then remembered that there was a magpie in the middle of winter now, and he smiled awkwardly, but his thick face didn't even mean to leave. "Isn't it? I think it's weird too. No, I didn't realize that when I saw you, it turned out that there were some distinguished guests coming to the door." He said nonsensely.
There are many dart teams going to and from Yanlai City, and the number of dart teams will increase the number of people in the community. Hu Er's small inn has been able to open for so many years in the mixed goose-lai city, relying on the eyes of Hu Er's acquaintance.
Although the young man saw through his words, he didn't show too much disgust, and when the young man spoke, all his companions around him calmed down, faintly suggesting that he was the leader. As long as he can persuade this young man, then today's single business may not be able to escape.
Hu Er thought so, the smile on his face became more and more eager.
He rubbed his hands habitually, and asked: "It seems that this is the first time for some young heroes to come to Yanlai City? Are you here to play or something else?"
Hu Er deliberately bites the accent on the other two words. He knows very well that these young ladies are accustomed to being pampered and always like to look for new and strange things, but besides being a shortcut to Liangzhou There is nothing special about it. It is said that playing in Qingzhou is hundreds of times better than it is. Why come here?
Unless... They want to see the evil spirits who have made trouble lately.
"Oh? Big brother seems to know something interesting, maybe he has a long experience with us." But as Hu Er expected, as soon as he said this, the headed boy frowned. Asked softly.
"I know, but there are so many people here. Anyway, if you are a newcomer, if you come to my shop, I will tell you all the strange things in Yanlai City in recent days." Hu Er pretended to smile mysteriously. .
These boys and girls really showed a curious look at that time.
When Hu Er saw this, he secretly said that these wealthy children were really too idle. The monsters in Yanlai City made the ordinary people avoid it. They were better. They didn't want to stay away, but they wanted to join in the fun...
"Okay, let the shopkeeper lead the way." The boy took a look at his companions and made a decision.
is done!
Hu Er was overjoyed when he heard this. Although he knew that these princes and young ladies had little experience, they were so deceived, but he didn't want to be so easy. Of course, he still had to show a flattered appearance on the surface, and hurriedly led everyone to his inn.
......
These young boys and girls in Jinyi are Xu Han who are separated from Youling Qu Bing.
The fact that Linglong Pavilion wanted to send masters and disciples to Yanlai City to investigate the evil and evil has spread~IndoMTL.com~ Naturally, they can't make the team this time be less than the last time. This will inevitably arouse interested people. Doubts.
Therefore, everyone discussed and decided to make Xu Han, Fang Ziyu, and Feng Yan pretend to be curious and wealthy children. After considering the contradiction between Xu Han and You Lingqu, Qin Keqing, Song Yueming, and Chu Qiu were separated. The three of them took them and pretended to be their servants, in order to secretly cooperate with You Lingqu and the others in investigating the evil.
As for the Hu Er who suddenly sprang out, his little trick is naturally not hidden from Xu Han, but since he has chosen to pretend to be a wealthy man who knows nothing about the world, he naturally has to perform the play completely, so Xu Han So Xing responded to that Hu Er's invitation and followed him to his inn.
And he looked at the appearance of this Hu Er, thinking that he was a man who has been in this market for many years, and there are many rumors in such a place, but sometimes there are some useful clues.
There is a saying that there is no wind and no waves. The rumors must have a source after all. Although they may have completely changed in the process of spreading, as long as they are willing to study carefully, they can know something.
Everyone followed Hu Er to his inn. The inn was not big, but the layout was exquisite. Obviously it was a waste of thought. Xu Han nodded secretly, feeling that it was much better than expected, he said He opened six full rooms to Hu Er, making the shopkeeper, who hadn't made a deal for a long time, shake his pen happily.
Then Xu Han took the front of the room without hesitation, and was about to ask for some news about the evil in the city, but before he could speak, a shrill voice came from outside the room.
"The shopkeeper, are there any other people in the room?"
Everyone was taken aback at that time, and they all followed the prestige.
However, I saw an old man dressed as a constrained servant leading a man in his thirties into the inn.
