At dusk, the lobby of Guanyun Inn was bustling with guests from all walks of life.
Most of these guests are local villagers, and a very small number are business travelers, traffickers and pawns who come from various places. Of course, there are also all kinds of weirdly dressed people in the world.
At this time, two people in strange clothes, a man and a woman, appeared at the entrance of the lobby.
The man looked to be about thirty years old, with a medium build, a disk-like face, and copper bell-like eyes, but there was a string of bells hanging on his chest. When the bell was blown by the wind, it made a sharp tinkling sound.
He was wearing a bright red outfit, and his hair seemed as hard as wire, and was pulled into two upright sharp horns, like ox horns. A large golden sword was held diagonally on his back. The handle of the knife was wrapped with red cloth, and the blade was bright and shining with a cold light.
The woman was as tall as the man. She was wearing a blue cotton shirt and a black snake-shaped belt around her thick bucket-like waist. She has a plump and round figure, and her long black hair is pulled into a ponytail hanging down by her waist. There is a pink silk scarf tied on her head, her big eyes are very watery and beautiful, there are two big silver rings hanging on her ears, and a sapphire pendant hangs around her neck. In her hand she held a three-foot-seven-inch long sword with a black sheath.
Looking at the way the two of them were dressed, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that they must be people traveling in the world. The expressions on both of their faces were very calm, and their eyes were cold as they glanced around the lobby.
At this time, the old shopkeeper was greeting Xu Feng and others. The diners suddenly saw this strangely dressed man and woman, and all eyes immediately focused on them. Everyone glanced at them, with surprised and nervous expressions on their faces. But just for a moment, they all looked away again.
Everyone knows that these people who travel around the world are not to be messed with. What's more, seeing their strange clothes and cold faces will make people shudder and avoid them!
A waiter had already come up to them and carefully welcomed them into the lobby.
The two people sat down at a table near the window. His eyes glanced at everyone alertly, as if he was searching for something!
When the waiter saw the two of them sitting there looking around without ordering anything to eat, he smiled and said, "What would you like to order? We have..."
Before the waiter could finish introducing the dishes, the man interrupted him and said slowly and expressionlessly: "A pot of wine, two roast chickens, and a plate of peanuts!"
After hearing this, the waiter nodded and bowed to them, turned around and left quickly.
Xu Feng and others naturally noticed those two people. They were a little surprised when they saw their strange clothes and strange expressions, but their faces became calm as usual in an instant.
The three of them toasted each other and started eating and drinking.
The old shopkeeper was busy in front of the counter, and from time to time he quietly raised his head and glanced at the man and woman.
Their weird outfits are certainly very eye-catching. It’s not surprising that in a place like a restaurant or inn, you’ll often see some strange people. But the two people were dressed in a very strange way. The man was wearing bright red, which was clearly the color and style that women like.
But the woman was wearing a blue cotton shirt. The fabric was very rough and a little dirty and wrinkled. It was clearly something men like to wear!
Could it be that these two people accidentally put on each other's clothes? Or is it done on purpose to attract attention?
This look, at first glance, seems a bit funny!
At this time, night fell and it felt a bit cold!
There were more and more diners in the hall, and the atmosphere became more and more lively.
Suddenly, I heard the fat woman say: "Yulang, do you think this Lei Zhentian has arrived at Jianmen?"
When the three of them heard the sound, they were suddenly startled and looked at each other. Luo Xiangxue was about to speak, but Xu Fengyang stopped her with his hand and gave her a look to signal her not to speak.
The three of them couldn't help but be suspicious: these two mentioned Lei Zhentian, do they know him?
The man's eyes were like lightning, and he slowly looked around, with a cunning light flashing in his eyes.
Just listen to his deep voice saying: "The information obtained by Master Xuanying should not be false! It's just that he suddenly summoned us and asked us to find Lei Zhentian, and then intercepted him in one fell swoop, but the Jianmen Gate is so big. There are no clues at the moment, so it’s not easy to find him!”
The woman said: "That day, I found a disciple of Xuanying Hall and inquired about the whole story. It is said that twenty years ago, Qiu Zilong, the master of Xuanying Hall, seduced Lei Zhentian. His cousin, taking advantage of his family's unpreparedness, wanted to steal his family's heirloom, the Jade Dragon Ball, but was accidentally discovered by the woman. He became so angry that he killed the woman. Therefore, Lei Zhentian came here just to Seeking revenge on Qiu Zilong!"
At this time, the man yelled at the woman in a low voice: "Xiangmei, don't talk nonsense about things you don't know. If it gets to Qiu Zilong's ears, won't we be left with nothing to eat?"
The woman said: "I just heard what the disciple of Xuanying Hall said, Yulang, where do you think Lei Zhentian is? We have been searching for three days, but there is still no news at all!"
The man named Yulang said: "Hey, this tracing thing is not an easy task, and there is no reliable clue at the moment. Who knows where he will end up? We can only keep asking around! You said, since we After accepting this order, what room for bargaining is left? The old man has a weird temperament and high martial arts skills. If we don't do it, there's no telling what he will do to us!"
At this point, the woman sighed quietly, then lowered her head and started eating without saying anything.
When the three of them heard this, they finally understood a little bit.
It turned out that these two people were looking for Lei Zhentian. From the tone of their conversation, they were sent by Lei Zhentian's enemy.
Although everyone was shocked in their hearts, they did not show it on their faces. Still minding their own business, laughing and eating, the old shopkeeper walked up to Xu Feng and others with a smile and asked how the food and wine tasted. Do you want to add some more dishes?
Xu Feng did not add any more dishes, but just asked for two more pots of bamboo leaf greens. They wanted to sit there and quietly listen to what the two people would say, hoping to find some more valuable clues. It would be great if we could find out the whereabouts of Lei Zhentian from their mouths.
The lights inside and outside the inn were shining, the hall was bustling with noise, and before you knew it, it was full of guests.
This inn is located in the hinterland of Jianmenguan, and the surrounding area is extremely deserted and desolate. What is unexpected is that the business in this shop is surprisingly good.
For a time, people chatted and drank, and the whole lobby of the inn was filled with the rich aroma of wine and food.
Luo Xiangxue lowered her voice and said quietly: "It seems it won't be that difficult for us to find him!"
Xu Feng glanced sideways at the man and woman, and lowered his voice and said, "Let's take another look, be patient, and don't try to scare the snake! I think there must be something fishy about this matter."
Liu Ruyan's eyes flashed and he said thoughtfully: "Uncle Xu, is there any way?"
Xu Feng said slowly: "This is not the place to talk. Let's talk outside!"
Xu Feng called the old shopkeeper to him and whispered a few words to him in his ear. The old shopkeeper smiled and nodded.
The three of them looked at each other and were about to stand up when suddenly, a man's bright voice came from behind: "Three friends, please stay!"
Everyone was suddenly startled and couldn't help but look back, only to see the man in red looking at the three of them with a smile on his face.
The two people slowly stood up and walked over. The man stared at the three of them, raised his wine glass, and said with a smile, "My name is Ye Yuhe. Can you treat the three of you to a drink?"
The three of them couldn't help but be startled, a hint of subtle surprise flashed across their faces, but they immediately regained their composure.
Xu Feng's eyes flashed and he frowned: "We don't recognize you, why would you invite me to drink? Is there something wrong with you?"
Luo Xiangxue glanced at Liu Ruyan, but the two of them looked a little embarrassed. Maybe because they heard their conversation just now, they didn't like them in their hearts, so they felt a little awkward.
It can be seen from the conversation between the two that they are looking for Lei Zhentian, and they are looking for him to kill him.
The fat woman suddenly smiled and said: "To be honest, we passed by here today and saw three people dressed in the same way. I guess they are also members of the same religion, but I don't know what they are called?" She looked at the three of them quietly, with a twinkle in her eyes. A hint of cunning light.
Xu Feng smiled slightly and said: "Yes, my surname is Xu, these two are my nephew and niece! I wonder if you two have any advice?" He didn't know the details of these two people, so he was wary. It’s not convenient to go into details, just deal with it briefly.
Liu Ruyan and Luo Xiangxue just smiled at them and said nothing.
Ye Yuhe smiled lightly and said, "But I don't know which way these three are friends?"
Luo Xiangxue saw that he was dressed in a neither-male nor female manner, which was very funny, and she couldn't help but want to laugh, but due to the situation, she had to hold it back, turning sideways and covering her mouth with her hand.
Liu Ruyan glanced at her, and then said to Ye Yuhe: "We are just unknown people in the mountains and wilds, and we don't belong to any sect! Who are the two heroes?" He changed his mind and was eager to find out. Their details are false.
Ye Yuhe's eyes flashed and he said with a smile: "Why do you need to apologize? I think the sword on your back is an extraordinary thing. It must be of the highest quality. You are handsome and handsome, and your bones are very good. I think you must be at least ten years old." You have pure internal skills! Don’t misunderstand me, my little sister and I just hope to make a few friends! When people are walking in the world, it is always good to make a few more friends!"
The woman blinked and said with a smile: "Exactly, my eldest brother likes to make friends in the world the most in his life!" After that, she glanced at Liu Ruyan.
She paused and then said: "My name is Ding Sanni. I am the third eldest child in the family. Everyone calls me Ding Sanmei! If you don't mind, you can also call me Sanmei!" She saluted everyone with cupped fists.
Liu Ruyan couldn't help but become wary when she saw that Ye Yuhe could see through the mysterious jade sword on his back at a glance, and also saw that he had ten years of internal strength cultivation. It was obvious that he was quite discerning and not just an ordinary person.
Liu Ruyan pondered for a moment and then said with a smile: "Your Excellency has really good eyesight. You can tell my family background at a glance. I must be a person with unique knowledge?"
Ye Yuhe cupped his fists and said slowly: "To be honest, we are from Feiying Castle in Jianmen Pass! Today, we were ordered by the master of Xuanying Hall of our sect to come here specifically to look for someone. I was just about to ask three people for advice. Sir, do you recognize a person named Lei Zhentian?"
Xu Feng's eyes flashed and he said thoughtfully: "Lei Zhentian?" He deliberately showed surprise. I don't want the other party to see through my purpose of coming here, so as to avoid unnecessary complications.
He deliberately looked like he was thinking, frowned and said: "Lei Zhentian, I seem to have heard of this name, but I have never seen him. I don't know what you want to do with Lei Zhentian?"
Ye Yuhe raised his brows and said quietly: "We were also ordered by my hall master to find such a person. I heard that he had come to Jianmen Pass not long ago. As for why the hall master wanted to find him, we are We don’t know, and we, as subordinates, don’t dare to ask more about their relationship!”
At this time, Na Ding Sanni said again: "We have been searching for three days in various places around here, but we can't find anything at all. Seeing that the three of them are also people traveling in the world, we took the liberty to ask a few people! "As he said this, he hugged the three of them.
The two parties met by chance, each had their own concerns, and naturally they would not confide in each other's heart. Since they couldn't get anything out of the other party's mouth, they might as well pretend to be crazy and act stupid!
