As soon as we drove the donkey cart to the crossroads, we happened to meet those four people.
When we just set off in the car, Chou Chou had scouted her in advance. Seeing that they were still inquiring around Nanshi, she felt that she might not meet her, so she stopped paying attention to her and kept chatting with her, while helping to control the front. A little donkey pulling a cart.
Who would have known that just by chance, the two parties met at this intersection. The four people must have just come from Nanshi, holding their horses and standing at the intersection.
Perhaps because Qingyan's clothes were incompatible with the donkey cart, she glanced in her direction more often, and even took a special look inside the cart. When she saw that the cart was empty, she stopped paying attention.
Qingyan drove the donkey cart past them with a calm expression, heading straight to the east.
When he was out of sight of the four people, he couldn't help but pat his chest.
She was really afraid that the people she had dealt with before would go back and describe this donkey cart. Her donkey cart was quite unique.
It suddenly occurred to me that it was wrong. The other party might not know that the donkey cart belonged to her. After all, there were many villagers in the temple at that time.
etc!
Thinking of those villagers, Qingyan said to Chou Chou with some worry: "Shortly after we left, the pursuers came over. Do you think those villagers are already in danger?"
Chou Chou shook his head in the space, thinking that Qingyan couldn't see it, so he sent a message to her: "I don't know about this, and I didn't pay attention to them after that. When you met those chasing soldiers before, they had something on them. No smell of blood? If he really killed so many villagers, it would be impossible for him not to be stained with blood."
Qingyan thought about it for a moment and shook her head, "No, those people were just dusty people at that time and there was no blood on their bodies. It seems that those villagers should have escaped.
In this case, these people are not considered people who kill without batting an eye. Will I commit murder? "
Chou Chou rolled his eyes, "Don't think too much of them. Even if you didn't kill those villagers, you might have found out the whereabouts of those three people. If you don't want to waste time, you may not necessarily be a good person.
As an ancient beast, I can see the aura on their bodies. The aura on their bodies is pitch black, and it looks like they are carrying human lives on their bodies. "
When Qingyan heard this, she immediately became energetic and said with interest: "You can also read people's faces..."
Chou Chou immediately interrupted her, "What does fortune telling mean? Don't think of me as a charlatan. I felt the aura on their bodies when I used my spiritual sense to explore them. I'm very interested in this kind of murderous aura." They are most sensitive to the aura of evil and cruelty, and if they have any aura of merit and virtue in them, I can also detect it."
Chou Chou didn’t say that it was a little averse to the Qi of Merit. This was something it was born with, and it couldn’t help it. That’s why it and Xiangxiang were mortal enemies, because Xiangxiang was a Dangkang and relied on the Qi of Merit to practice. of.
And Zhu Yan relies on some opposite negative auras to cultivate, such as some ferocious auras, preferably the killing auras on the battlefield, so it is classified as an ancient ferocious beast, but Xiangxiang is It's an auspicious beast.
But whether it is a ferocious beast or an auspicious beast, in fact, they all have the word "beast" behind them. Don't think that Xiangxiang only does good things. If you mess with it, you will still die without knowing how.
It’s not that the auspicious beast won’t kill people, it’s just that it needs the aura of merit to cultivate, and it has auspicious energy in itself, so it appears peaceful. If it doesn’t help people or do good deeds, there will be no merit in cultivating it. .
Both it and Xiangxiang are actually passive. It does not mean that it is a vicious beast that harms people, and these auras cannot be obtained by killing people. It feels that it is still a good beast.
Qingyan didn't know that she just asked a question and made Chou Chou think so much.
Still asking it curiously: "Then take a look at the three people named He. What do they smell like?"
After hearing her question, Chou Chou retracted his thoughts and replied directly: "The color of their aura is light red."
Qingyan was curious, "Is that good or bad?"
Chou Chou: "The color red represents killing, which means that those three people also carry human lives, but they are not the kind of people who kill innocent people indiscriminately, and the people they kill are probably not good people, so they only have murderous aura, not the black hostility.
Especially the little girl disguised as a man, her aura was the weakest, and it was probably the two guards who took action. "
Qingyan nodded and continued to ask Chou Chou: "You should have experienced this era before, so in your impression, are there any celebrities or families named He in these five generations?"
It seems that there is no family named He in the history of later generations. At least it should not be very famous. Otherwise, she should have some impression. At least she has the impression of Xue. Of course, it is also because of the family with the same surname as hers. reason.
Although she was a little unsure whether this world was parallel time and space or different time and space, and whether it had the same history as her world, there should be similarities in general.
Chou Chou has never studied history, but he lived in this dynasty before he was injured. Although he has not joined the world, he often runs around invisible, especially in this chaotic era, where there are many small countries and many wars, so he went There are more places.
It had some impression of place names, but it still didn't pay much attention to some surnames and people's names, so after thinking about it for a while, it couldn't come up with a reason.
Soon they arrived at Fulai Teahouse on East Main Street. It seemed like a short time, but in fact it took about an hour to go back and forth.
Fortunately, there was no one on the road at this time, otherwise it would have taken longer.
When she arrived at Fulai Teahouse, Qingyan parked her car under the window next to the teahouse, trying not to block the doorway.
When the waiter inside saw the donkey cart, he came out and asked Qingyan with a smile: "Sir, would you like a cup of tea?"
Qingyan shook her head and said, "I'm here to find someone. My friends are waiting at your teahouse. I'll leave immediately after I call them."
What the young man wanted to say next was blocked immediately. Originally, he came out to ask if the other party wanted to drink tea and help drive the donkey cart to the backyard.
They have a special place for storing livestock in the back, which is prepared for some guests who come from afar. Otherwise, they will be parked at the door and business will not be possible.
Cattle carts are not like those cars of later generations, which just park there. These animals are alive. They poop, urinate, and bark over time. The most important thing is that if they are shocked by something, they may be injured. people.
Seeing that the other party was just looking for someone, he said nothing. However, he did not go in. Instead, he helped watch outside to avoid any accidents.
Qingyan couldn't help but look back, so she asked Chou Chou to take a look with her spiritual consciousness, "Are those four people coming this way?"
Chou Chou took a look and replied: "They are divided into two groups. Two of them are coming this way, and the other two are going north."
Qingyan paused, "Did they ask something? Otherwise, why would they go north? Didn't they come from the north before?"
Chou Chou replied: "That should be the case. Although people at this time don't like to meddle in other people's business, if they are willing to spend money, they will reveal it."
After all, it's not a member of my own family, so just sell it.
"Are the two people coming from the east far away from us now?"
Chou Chou: "They are still a little far away from here. They are inquiring at an inn not far from the intersection. You should have time to call the three of them down."
Qingyan thought that it was not a wise decision for them to come down now. Unless they went to the east gate, they would probably encounter... Eh? its not right! Why can't we go to the east gate?
Thinking of this, he asked Chou Chou: "Chou Chou, see if you can go around to the south of the city when you go out from the east gate? Those three people want to go to Bianzhou, so they must continue walking south."
Chou Chou: "Okay. After crossing the moat, go right and there is a stone bridge. After crossing the bridge, there is a path that can go around to the south."
Qingyan felt relieved after hearing this, as long as she could get over it.
After entering the teahouse, Qingyan went directly to the second floor. She had just asked, and the waiter said that the private rooms were on the second floor.
When we got to the second floor, we found the waiter on the second floor, described the three people's appearance, and were taken to a cubicle marked Lan Xuan.
The man knocked on the door gently and waited until there was a response from inside before opening the door.
Seeing that it was indeed the three of them, Qingyan said: "Quick, quick, quick, we don't have enough time, let's go quickly."
Although she didn't say anything else, the three people knew from the look on her face that something was going on. They threw a piece of broken silver to the waiter and said, "No need to look for it." Then they followed Qingyan downstairs. .
They sat for a while and drank a few cups of tea. The piece of silver was definitely enough. The waiter happily said from behind, "Guests come here often."
After leading them downstairs, Qingyan asked Chou Chou to look at the two people. She was relieved when she knew that the two people were still searching slowly and had not come over yet.
After going downstairs, Qingyan pretended to stop them when she arrived at the door. She went out and looked to the west first. Seeing that there were not many people on the road, she turned back and winked at the three of them.
The three of them were all smart people. They didn't look around when they came out. They knew something must be wrong, so they got into the donkey cart without asking any questions.
Fortunately, the space inside the car is not small, and it can be accommodated.
Qingyan sat on the shaft of the cart and drove the donkey cart directly to the east. She whispered to the three of them: "I met those four people at the cross street. They divided into two groups. Two went to the north, and two went this way. They are here, but they are looking for me one by one in some inns and restaurants. If I am not as fast as I am, I won’t be able to catch up for a while.
Now we can only go east, and it is easy to encounter it if we go back.
The three of them bowed their hands to Qingyan and saluted, and He Linling said, "Thank you so much, Miss Xue, for letting me protect the three of you again. I'm really grateful."
It wasn't that they were afraid of those four people catching up. After all, they had been able to escape smoothly despite being chased by so many people before.
It's just that it's not very convenient in this city. If you take action, not only will you hurt innocent people, but you may also alert the soldiers patrolling the city, and you may be detained together, which is also troublesome.
Although they are not robbers and thieves, they still have some secrets, so it is better not to expose them too much.
Qingyan is not curious about who the other person is, as long as she knows that he is not a bad person, she won't stay long anyway.
He stretched out his hand and slapped the donkey's butt twice to make it speed up. The roads in the city were relatively flat, so it didn't take much effort even if the donkey was pulling four adults, and the speed picked up quickly.
Before, they were in the center of East Street, close to the East Gate, and it only took more than ten minutes to reach the outer city.
There may be a moat on the East City Gate side. There is not a small martial arts arena like the North City side. Instead, there are many stones piled up, and I don't know what they are used for.
When Qingyan led them to the city gate, she found a pile of rocks and stopped.
"I won't go out of the city with you. You can go out on your own after that. I've asked, and you can go in another direction here."
If she followed him out of the city, she would have to come in by herself. Although her identity and household registration were in Chou Chou's space, she was sent too far and it would be difficult to walk back.
Of course He Linling and the other two understood this, and they could not let others send them back.
Qingyan got out of the car and stood aside. One of the guards came out of the car and sat where she was sitting before.
He had just watched how Qingyan drove the cart, and felt that it was too simple. It was almost the same as riding a horse, without even a whip.
But I don’t have time to ask any more questions now. I’ll just have to figure it out on my own on the way.
Knowing that time was a bit urgent, He Linling did not get out of the car. He took out two ingots of silver from his bag and handed them to Qingyan. This was the money to buy the donkey cart. Thank you girl for sending us here. "
Qingyan was not polite and took it directly, "Then I won't be polite. You should be careful on the road. There is a basket hanging on the back of the car. There is a water hyacinth with water in it and a few pottery bowls. It's just right for you. Quench your thirst while on the road.”
After saying that, he waved his hands towards them and said, "I won't say anything else. I won't waste your time. You can leave quickly. If we are destined, maybe we can meet again."
The three of them thanked me again: "Thank you, girl. See you later."
"See you later."
Watching the donkey cart heading towards the city gate, Qingyan did not return the same way, because she had just seen a horizontal path under the inner city wall. If she walked along it, she should be able to circle around the inner city.
She was going to go back that way.
Although this place is to the east and west of Xue Mansion, it might be a good idea to miss those two people. After all, her clothes are really eye-catching. I just saw her driving a donkey cart out. If the cart is gone, I would be suspicious of her. What to do if the tracking is behind.
It's not easy for her to show off her skills, and it's quite troublesome. It's better to have less to do than to do more.
When we walked to the inner city wall, we could already see the two people from a distance. Fortunately, they only paid attention to the shops on both sides and did not look here.
Qingyan looked around, and finally headed to the left. You can go around to the south here, but forget about the north. There are some sergeants on the north side who are very vigilant. Seeing her going around on the path, maybe she will They will also check if they encounter them. If they go south, it is considered a busy city and will not attract much attention.
