After Xiaoyu finished eating, she wiped the corners of her mouth with her hands and wiped her hands with a tablecloth on the table.
On one side, Lansha and Ziyi were devouring their food while glancing at Xiaoyu's side with their peripheral vision. Lansha and Ziyi are both sensible people, "middle-aged men, unkempt, single swordsmen."
', They chased him all the way, and almost never encountered a lone swordsman. All the conditions were met, and this noodle shop only had one.
Xiao Yu remained as calm as ever, thinking to herself: The two people did not directly attack him when they appeared in the tea shop, which meant that they did not recognize his identity, but the eyes of these two people always looked at him from time to time, which meant that they were indeed suspicious again. You have to find a way to get away.
If a fight breaks out, the two commanders on the seventh floor are here. It is impossible for him not to use his special martial arts. Once he makes a move, he will be recognized by the two people through his martial arts. Therefore, he cannot fight with them and can only find an opportunity to sneak away. .
Xiao Yu glanced at the sword beside her leaning on the edge of the table and had an idea.
"Staff, may I ask, where is the restroom? I ate too fast and I have a stomachache." Xiao Yu pretended to have some stomach discomfort, covering her hands and calling to the store.
The store owner was an old woman. She pointed to the backyard of her house and replied: "Go straight to the left of the backyard." Xiaoyu added: "Can you please help me take a look at my sword? I'll be back as soon as I can."
"Okay, don't worry, no one will take your sword." The aunt replied with a smile. Xiaoyu stood up, holding her stomach, and quickly walked through the side door of the tea shop and went to the toilet. As she walked, Xiaoyu thought: It's just an average sword. You can buy it in a weapons shop or the black market for a few taels. It's not a pity to lose it.
When he went out and turned left, Xiaoyu saw the latrine shack built on the edge of the yard. He quickened his pace and walked forward. The lady in the store said, "Yes, that's right there!"
'With a greeting, I walked in and closed the toilet door. Xiaoyu pulled the shelf at the back, turned over and jumped onto the wall. Looking outside, there was a back street, facing the backyards of some shops. No one came in or out. He quickly turned over and took a shortcut to the south of the city. run.
Outside the tea shop. When Lan Sha and Zi Yi saw that the middle-aged man Jian had stayed here to go to the toilet, they both felt that they were not in a hurry and simply finished the large bowl of noodles in front of them slowly. After eating it, they wiped it clean. The two of them drank tea and waited.
After a long time, a wave of customers came and went in the tea shop, and they realized something was wrong.
The two hurriedly picked up their weapons and rushed into the backyard of the tea shop. The store owner frowned as she watched the two people rush into her backyard, scratching her head, feeling a little baffled.
Lan Sha turned around and waited for the shopkeeper's wife and asked, "Where's the guy who just went to the toilet?" The shopkeeper's wife curled her lips and replied, "He's still in the toilet. He hasn't come out after being in there for so long. He must have a severe stomachache. !" Lan Sha frowned and stared at the toilet over there. With a sword in his hand, he and Ziyi approached the toilet cautiously. After Lan Sha approached, he gently pushed open the toilet door, and there was no one inside.
"Fooled. Chase!" After Lan Sha finished speaking, he and Ziyi jumped up and climbed out of the wall to a small alley behind.
The two looked left and right, and there was no trace of the middle-aged swordsman.
"Hey, it's not easy to find it." Ziyi stamped his feet angrily, frowned and cursed. Lan Sha also sighed, and had no choice but to say: "Let's go, Zhao's Restaurant in the south of the city is one of the branches of the Third Division, go see if there is any news about Ji Ruge, and then notify Zhao Mingyun to help track down this person's whereabouts. See you Let's run away. This person must have something to do with Ji Ruge." The shopkeeper's wife watched the toilet door shake, and there was no one inside. The two Jianghu people in front of her climbed over the wall and left again, and murmured in confusion: "It's all What about some weird people? One went to the toilet and disappeared! The other two had no way to go and had to climb over the wall..."...south of the city.
Ma Yi.
"Brother, what kind of horse do you want?" The store owner saw a middle-aged man walking in front of him. He quickly collected the accounting pen he was keeping, put it on the mountain of pens, stood up and greeted him.
Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, and then realized that with his current appearance, he looked about the same age as the store owner. It was right for people to call him eldest brother, so he replied: "I want a fast horse."
"Okay, let's go. This way, please, I'll take you to the stable to choose a horse." The store owner greeted. Xiaoyu directly touched a one hundred tael silver note and handed it over, saying: "No need to look for it! I want a horse that has been well rested after eating, and moreover, I want a horse that can run the fastest. You ask the guy Help me choose and bring him out directly. I'll wait at the door of the stable. The sooner the better." The shopkeeper took the banknote and bought two or three high-quality horses for one hundred taels. He is a distinguished customer!
So he replied with a smile: "Sir, please wait a moment, I will go and lead the horse for you in person." Not long after, the owner of the horse station personally led the horse to Xiao Yu.
Xiaoyu got on his horse and drove away. After leaving Kunzhou City, twenty miles south is a large city on the border of Langzhou, called Bianlang County City.
There is an unlimited horse ban in this city. After Xiaoyu entered Langjun City, he found a blacksmith shop, promised the blacksmith shop owner a few taels of silver, and then asked where the black market that sold weapons was. He rode to the black market and picked out a sword that he found handy. After that, he prepared enough dry food and drinks in the city before preparing to leave the city.
After leaving the city. Xiaoyu passed by a forest, and when he stopped to rest, he thought to himself: Lan Sha and Ziyi had already seen his appearance as a middle-aged swordsman, and it would obviously be remembered by the people on the seventh floor. Not surprisingly, the seventh floor Lou's spy will soon find him, and it will be difficult to escape again.
At this time, it’s time to change your makeup! Xiaoyu sighed, but it was a pity that he was not his old man, and he had not practiced the bone-shaping disguise skill well enough. He could not change the appearance by randomly changing the acupoints, roots, and bones. Otherwise, the journey south would be much easier.
On the street of a town in the suburbs, Xiaoyu took the time to find a noodle shop and asked the barber to shave his beard. He also cut his hair in half, leaving only shoulder-length hair tied with a hairpin. Got a makeover.
After leaving the noodle shop, I threw away my coarse clothes and went to a silk and satin shop to buy a scholar's brocade dress to wear. I bought a landscape painting folding fan from a roadside stall, hung the sword on my left waist, and pinned the folding fan to my right waist, as if A kid from a rich family who went out to play.
Fortunately, he had a lot of banknotes with him, so he could afford them. He spent money like water with every gesture, and he really looked like a rich knight wandering around.
He got on his horse and continued southbound. Xiao Yu estimated the days and expected to reach the boundary of Dinghu Mountain in eight or nine days. He should be able to reach Guanyun Temple on Lantern Mountain before the martial arts competition was held.
Sunset on the west mountain. It was the evening of April 22nd. A Qingchen ride came out of Langzhou. ...
