For half a month, Yu Zhi was silent and his butt seemed to be stuck to the carriage, rarely moving.
It's a good thing that he is a cultivator of the third level of cracking stone, otherwise the servants of the caravan would not be able to serve him.
Zhou Hu walked towards Yu Zhi. If the journey was safe, he didn't want to talk to a strange practitioner. Even if he was the same employer, he didn't want to involve too much.
In the world of martial arts, there are not many friends and many paths. There's a very good chance that "this friend" is going to kill you.
When Yu Zhi saw Zhou Hu approaching, he stood up without any intention. He spat out the grass in his mouth and looked at Zhou Hu.
"I think this is not a ghost, but a formation."
Zhou Hu did not expect that the young man would take the initiative to speak. After all, in the past half month, the young man rarely talked to others. He just sat in the car with his eyes closed and meditated.
Zhou Hu thought for a moment and said, "Do you have a way to break the formation?"
Now that he can see the formation, this is already far beyond Zhou Hu. If Yu Zhi hadn't woken up, he would have continued to think hard.
Yu Zhi shook his head. He was not familiar with formations. Even though there was "Star Formation" left by Yun Jin in his armor, Yu Zhi did not learn it.
The secrets and ever-changing formations cannot be learned in a day or two. Even the Lord of Nebula, Yun Jin, spent his entire life researching the "Star Formation Technique".
San'er snorted coldly, not believing what Yu Zhi said. "Who can't tell lies? I even said that the white mist is caused by mountain ghosts. Look at all the people in the villages along the way disappearing out of thin air. Who else can do it except mountain ghosts? Brother, we must not believe this. A guy who only eats free food."
For half a month, San'er was already disgusted by Yu Zhi's attitude of "eating with his mouth open" and not working hard. At this time, he even wanted to kill Yu Zhi.
"San'er!" Zhou Hu was angry.
Yu Zhi didn't care. He was younger than the other party, but his vision was higher than anyone else's.
The two are not on the same level at all, so there is no need for Yu Zhi to care.
Yu Zhi spread his hands and said nonchalantly: "Believe it or not, it's up to you. But if you continue, you will all die here."
die.
This word can bring fear and anger to people.
Yu Zhi said "you", not "us". This does not include him.
San'er said unconvinced: "You will die here too."
Yu Zhi was too lazy to quarrel with the other party. He said to Zhou Hu: "It's easy to break the formation. Find the formation's eye in the white mist, or kill the people who set up the formation. It's a pity that you can't do anything for the time being. .”
Zhou Hu understood the current critical situation. If they entered the white mist, both them and the caravan would die here.
But he has been trapped in the white mist, just sitting and waiting to die.
"Brother Li, you have such cultivation at such a young age. I once guessed that you came from some mansion in Kyoto. Facing the current crisis, you can still be so calm, you must have a way to survive. Our brothers are willing to All the rewards for this trip will be given to you, I just hope you can help me."
Zhou Hu is only at the fourth level of Armor Breaking. This level is only considered high for guards. If placed in the sects of Shiwanda Mountain, throwing a stone can kill several of them.
But the reason why Zhou Hu got to where he is today is not because of his cultivation level, but because of his vicious eyes. He could see something different about Yu Zhi.
Yu Zhi smiled again and said, "No wonder you are the eldest brother, your vision is better than that of your brothers."
Saying that, Yu Zhi did not forget to give San'er a glance.
Seeing Yu Zhi's reply, Zhou Hu felt happy. He knew that the young man in front of him would definitely have a way to get out of the current predicament.
Yu Zhi glanced at Bai Wu again, his gaze seemed to penetrate the Bai Wu and fall on the last black shadow.
Then Yu Zhi said: "Steward, I want to see the woman in the carriage."
There are more than twenty people in the caravan, and the steward is making arrangements along the way. Everyone knows that there is another master in the carriage, but no one has seen it.
Everyone was surprised. No one had seen anyone in the carriage. People in the carriage rarely appeared since they left Kyoto. They ate in the carriage so that they could find a secluded place late at night.
But how did Yu Zhi know that there was a woman in the carriage?
There was a bit of surprise in the steward's eyes, and he immediately realized what was wrong: "Little brother, it's not convenient for my wife to see people. If you have anything to say, just tell me."
Yu Zhi shook his head slightly and said, "I don't think you can make the decision."
Yu Zhi whispered a few words in the steward's ear. The steward took a deep look at Yu Zhi and immediately walked towards the carriage.
Zhou Hu asked curiously: "What did Li Zhi say to the steward that he actually asked the steward to report it to the master's family?"
San'er said disdainfully: "For someone like him, it's obvious that he just wants to raise the price and make more money."
San'er deliberately made it loud enough for Yu Zhi to hear.
Yu Zhi glanced at San'er again, with contempt in his eyes. "I took money from my master, so I want to protect the caravan. But your life is not within the scope of my protection. If you keep talking, I will definitely wait until you are dead before taking my master out of trouble."
The plan to drive away wolves and devour tigers!
Yu Zhi's words are not cruel.
If it was true as Yu Zhi said, most of the people in the caravan would have died before San'er died.
At that time, the people in the caravan most hope that San'er will die first, and they are more likely to join forces to kill San'er first.
San'er was speechless. He cherished his life, but he didn't like Yu Zhi's style.
Soon, the steward came back and said to Yu Zhi: "Little brother, please!"
...
In the quiet mountain forest, a black shadow fell on the tip of the branch. He stood on the branch as lightly as a feather, without bending the branch.
The black shadow was wrapped in a white mist, and no one could see his whole face.
"What a pity for this beauty. But someone in the Su family doesn't want you to go back."
As soon as he finished speaking, the evening breeze blew away the white mist, and the black shadows also dissipated.
...
The carriage was dim, without any light.
Naturally, Yu Zhi couldn't see clearly what the lady looked like.
Yu Zhi didn't say anything, but the other party spoke first: "How do you know it's a woman in the car?"
In the darkness, Yu Zhi smiled, rubbed his nose and said, "Madam uses powder from Kyoto Fendiexuan. It just so happens that I have a younger sister who prefers these. I have heard about it a lot in the past few days, so I guessed it right away."
With the addition of two little sisters, Li Wantong and Yu Lan, Qiu Ruoruo naturally took them to see things in Kyoto. Especially makeup, which girl doesn’t love it?
"The powder of Fendiexuan has a very light smell. You can only tell the difference by smelling it carefully." Yu Zhi explained.
The other party then said: "A small box of Fendie Xuan's powder costs five taels. Since your sister can afford Fendie Xuan's powder, you won't make a living by protecting others. Young man, who are you?"
The woman's eyes were beautiful, even if they were cold and frosty, they were still beautiful eyes.
Yu Zhi looked directly at the other person. After seeing Han Yang's pair of ghostly eyes, no matter how sharp his eyes were, they could only be like this.
"Madam, you just need to treat me as a passenger heading south. And I am the only one who can save you now." Yu Zhi said confidently.
The other party was silent and did not answer Yu Zhi immediately.
The goods on this trip were living creatures - the steward's words were brief, but each word struck a chord in the woman's heart.
The woman knew that the young man had already guessed a lot, but how did he guess it?
Yu Zhi smelled the fragrance of powder in the carriage. Compared to the lifeless white mist outside, he wished he could sit in the carriage for a while longer.
The strange white mist pushed the woman into a desperate situation. If she could not get out of the white mist, she would not be able to return to Su City.
Yu Zhi's words also forced the woman to make a choice, but what was the boy's purpose?
After a long time, the woman sighed inwardly and said, "What are your conditions?"
After the woman finished speaking, she waited for Yu Zhishi to say, money is not important, no matter how much money the woman can afford, she is afraid that the unknown young man in front of her has other agendas.
A smile appeared on Yu Zhi's lips and he said: "It's very simple. I want to know the identity of the madam and why the killer wants to kill you?"
The woman was surprised and asked: "Killer? How do you know that the other party must be the killer?"
Yu Zhi said mysteriously: "I have a friend who used to be a killer, but later quit his job. He told me about many strange killers, including this one who likes to use white mist to kill people."
In fact, Yu Zhi had asked Ning Huan for a killer list a long time ago. These are all killers under Mr. Third. Their titles, realms, characteristics, killing methods, etc. are all recorded in a booklet.
The woman's face was cold and her breath was a little irritable, probably because of anger and pain.
Yu Zhi said: "It seems that Madam has guessed who sent the killer."
After calming down her breathing, the woman finally said: "My real name is Su Muci, and I am the eldest daughter of the Su family in Su City. The Su family is a big family in Nanzhou Prefecture and has made great achievements in the court and business circles. But recently, the family has experienced big changes. I wanted to rush back to Sioux City for fear of unrest. Now it seems that someone in my family doesn't want me to go back."
The Su family... Qiu Ruoruo gave Yu Zhi many letters, all about the intricate forces in Nanzhou Prefecture, noble families, important officials, etc.
This thing took countless Liuying people many years to compile into a book.
Yu Zhi naturally knows the value of these things.
The Su family is also included in the letter. It cannot be said to be the top family in Nanzhou Prefecture, but it is somewhat famous in this three-acre area of Su City.
"If you can escort me back to Su City, I will give you any amount of money." Su Muchi said.
Yu Zhi put on the face of a nouveau riche and said, "Didn't you tell me that my sister can even afford Fendiexuan's powder, and I still lack the money?"
Su Muchi was speechless for a moment, and Yu Zhi continued: "I am the most trustworthy person. I have received your twenty taels of deposit, and I will send you to Su City. Then just give me the remaining thirty taels of silver."
Su family... Yu Zhi remembered that two people from the Su family were dismissed from office not long ago, and now they met people from the Su family before they even arrived at Nanzhou Mansion. What a coincidence.
Su Muchi's eyes were full of joy, but then she said worriedly: "Little brother, what is the realm of the killer? Do you really have a way to deal with him?"
Yu Zhi glanced at Su Muchi and thought: I'll pay for your distrustful attitude.
"From the sound of your voice, you should be about the same age as me. Don't sound like a little brother and look old-fashioned."
When Su Muchi heard this, she couldn't help laughing and said, "I must be a few years older than you, and I'm already married."
Yu Zhi scratched his head and said, "We can continue on our way tomorrow."
Yu Zhi did not say what state the other party was in, because no matter what state he was in, he would die in his hands tonight.
Just when Yu Zhi was about to get out of the carriage, he took a deep breath of air and asked, "What kind of powder did you use? It smells good."
In the darkness, Su Muchi's cheeks turned red and she said nervously, "It's just ordinary makeup."
Yu knew he was there, so he responded and left the carriage.
As everyone knows, Su Muchi didn't put on makeup at all today, and this fragrance was entirely from her body.
"What an ignorant boy."
