The sound of horse hoofbeats came from far and near, and Zhao Kai and Han Diao Si both turned their heads to look.
I saw a spy galloping towards me on a big horse. He slowly slowed down as he approached, threw a letter to Zhao Kai, and then sped off again.
Zhao Kai was puzzled. He opened the letter and read it, and instantly smiled.
"Master, Xu Fengnian and his party were separated in Emperor Wu City. Li Chungang and the guards took a big boat and headed towards Beiliang. Only Xu Fengnian and Jian Jiuhuang took a small boat heading west. They had been gone for a while, and the spies were still there. Following them in the rear, it seems my chance has come."
"Don't be too careless. The news sent to me by Shui Jia is that Xu Fengnian and others have noticed its traces, so they retreated from Emperor Wu City. This is most likely their strategy, deliberately pretending to be separated. In fact, we are reuniting somewhere secretly." Han Diao Si said after reading the letter.
"Then I will wait a few more days and I will never show up until I am sure that this matter is true or false."
Han Diao Si said with cold eyes and fierceness: "I will accompany you. If there is a scam this time, I can protect you in time."
"Master, don't you still have something to do when you leave the palace this time?" Zhao Kai asked doubtfully.
"I have finished all the things I came out to do this time. There is still some time before I can return to the palace, so there is no rush."
"oh."
... ...
Five days later.
A small, shabby temple in a remote place.
"Old Huang, I really miss seeing this." Xu Fengnian said with emotion as he looked at the dusty old stone Buddha statues in the temple.
"That time, young master, you came up with a strange idea and got a chicken. You thought we could make some meat and make some money, but you met that guy." Old Huang grinned.
"Speaking of which, I haven't seen him for a long time, and I didn't know that guy was here now... I'm going!!!" Xu Fengnian glanced at a figure in the corner of the ruined temple and suddenly exclaimed.
"What's wrong, young master?" Lao Huang asked.
"Look there." Xu Fengnian pointed at the figure and smiled.
As he spoke, he walked over, squatted down, pulled out a weed, and poked the man's nose to tease him.
"Ah sneeze!"
The sleeping figure sneezed suddenly and opened his eyes drowsily.
"The surname is Xu?"
After calming down and seeing Xu Fengnian's appearance clearly, the man widened his eyes in disbelief and said.
"Hahaha, Wen Hua!" Xu Fengnian laughed.
"You kid, your sweet dreams have been ruined by you. Where did you get these clothes? I'll come back to you later, please don't hurt me." Wen Hua said with a smile.
Xu Fengnian smiled and said: "You boy, you are still looking so sloppy and you haven't made a name for yourself yet?"
"Stop talking nonsense, if you are really serious, take off your clothes and exchange for some wine and meat, and let's have a good meal here. Oh, Lao Huang, you are fine with this, you two can do it now. "
At this time, Wen Hua saw Lao Huang standing aside and giggled, and was surprised to see his current decent clothes.
"Come on, there was a wine stall over there when we first came here. Let's go there and have a drink." Xu Fengnian said with a smile.
The three of them got up and walked towards the wine stall together.
After a while.
"Waiter, serve the wine. Get the best wine."
"Okay, sir."
After finding a relatively clean table, the three of them sat down. Wen Hua patted Xu Fengnian and said, "You can do it. If you get rich, then?"
"Have you forgotten? I told you before, I am the Crown Prince of Beiliang."
"Do not believe."
The two stared at each other and suddenly laughed.
"What's the matter with you coming here?" Wen Hua asked.
"I just came back from the East China Sea. I planned to take a stroll around. Why don't I take a break? Who would have ever thought of meeting you?"
After eating and drinking, Xu Fengnian said: "Do you want to hang out with me?"
"It's okay to have a meal once in a while. It's such a blessing to do this all the time. Besides, I have no time to practice swordsmanship. Don't delay my practice of peerless swordsmanship." Wen Hua said.
"You are just practicing blindly on your own, there is no swordsmanship anywhere."
Wen Hua curled his lips and said: "Tch, that's enough. It's getting late, and it's time for me to leave. I owe you this meal of wine and meat, and I'll pay it back when I meet you later."
"Then where are you going?"
"Go and have a look over there in Beimang."
"Then I'll wait for you to practice your peerless swordsmanship as soon as possible. If I encounter trouble one day in the future, no matter where you are, you have to come and help me."
Wen Hua laughed twice: "I owe you a meal and a meal, and I have to work hard for you."
"Hahaha."
Wen Hua stood up and said, "Okay, I won't follow your mother-in-law anymore, let's go."
"I don't know when we will meet again." Xu Fengnian stood up to see him off.
Wen Hua turned around and smiled and said: "Jianghu is big or small, we will meet again."
"Take care of yourself!"
"You too, take care!"
After Wen Hua walked away, Xu Fengnian sighed and sat back down.
"Master, Wen Hua is right, we will see you again." Lao Huang picked up the wine glass and touched Xu Fengnian gently.
Little did they know that on a hillside not far from this wine stall, Zhao Kai and Han Diao Si were looking at this place with cold eyes.
"It seems that the beggar has a good relationship with Xu Fengnian. Master, if we capture him, can we distract Xu Fengnian when we attack him?"
"I'm going to catch that beggar. There's been no movement in the past few days. It seems that Li Chungang is really gone. We don't have time. We can't wait any longer." Han Diao Si said sternly.
"Okay, then I'll continue to stare here."
The two of them thought they were secretive, but they didn't know that the mantis stalked the cicada, but the oriole was behind. Ying Zhu's Qi gathering skills had already been practiced to the extreme. Unless he was exposed, no one below the Grand Master would be able to detect it.
... ...
Wen Hua, who had just walked a few miles away, was humming a tune leisurely.
Suddenly his vision went dark and he fell forward.
Han Diao Si grabbed Wen Hua by the back of his neck and carried him towards Zhao Kai.
After Wen Hua left, Xu Fengnian and Lao Huang divided up the last bit of food and wine left, and walked away aimlessly with the pace of not recognizing their relatives.
Until they reached a small river, Zhao Kai appeared in front of the two of them.
"Hello, Crown Prince, I have heard about the Crown Prince for a long time, and today we finally meet." Zhao Kaisi saluted politely and smiled.
"Who are you?"
"It doesn't matter who I am. I blocked the prince's way today because I wanted to borrow something from him."
Xu Fengnian smiled coldly and said, "Oh? Then what do you want to borrow?"
"Borrow the prince's head for use."
As soon as Zhao Kai finished speaking, Lao Huang shouted: "Young master, be careful."
Five ambush red-armored soldiers came out at the same time, four of them attacked the critical point of Lao Huang's body, forcing Lao Huang to use his sword to block first.
And the last piece of earth armor jumped out from the ground and reached out to grab Xu Fengnian's legs.
Xu Fengnian made a quick decision, drew his sword and used the Immortal Kneeling sword he learned from Li Chungang, and knocked the earth armor back to the ground.
