Chapter 169 Things change and people change
"Will he come?" Zhong Lingxi asked herself silently in her heart.
…………
After several days of traveling, Yi Xifeng and Lin Fenghuo arrived at the outside of Luoye City at dusk. The city wall was still familiar, and it was still the same as in the memory. But perhaps because of the various hardships they had experienced, they looked back at the place where they had left memories. It also adds a sense of vicissitudes and strangeness.
"Madman, are you going to do it in Luoye City?" Lin Fenghuo asked, looking at the crowds coming and going at the city gate.
Yi Xifeng said: "Originally, I wanted to take action at the border between Qingchuan County and Sky City, but for some reason, the Luo Yunzong chose to pass through Luoye County and Yunxi County, and then to Sky City, so I could only choose here. ”
When Lin Fenghuo heard what he said, he felt strange and said, "I don't know what kind of medicine they sell in the gourd."
Yi Xifeng nodded. He looked at Luoye City, and a wave of memories came to his mind. He said, "I remember the first time I came to Luoye City, it was also dusk."
Lin Fenghuo felt a sense of bitterness in his heart. Although he did not participate in that mission, at that time, Yinren Village was still there, his grandfather was still there, and everyone was still living together. But now...
Yi Xifeng noticed something was wrong with his mood and said, "It's getting late, let's go into the city quickly."
Lin Fenghuo smiled bitterly and nodded. The two of them passed the guard questioning and quickly entered the city. In fact, if they intercepted the wedding party in Luoye City, Yi Xifeng would feel more at ease. One of the reasons is that Luoye County is on the border. What is the reason for escaping from Luo Yun Country? Another reason is that it can stay away from the Qingyun Sect, so as not to cause trouble to Ou Yezi and others, and also to avoid the Qingyun Sect from being implicated and causing unnecessary trouble.
The two of them were walking side by side on the street, feeling as if they were in another world. The people and things in front of them were familiar, but also had a sense of strangeness. Suddenly, a group of men and horses wearing armor came, and the leader was a majestic man. When Yi Xifeng saw this person for the first time, he felt that he looked familiar. He couldn't remember who it was for a moment, but when he saw that this person only had one arm, he immediately remembered it.
Yi Xifeng was alert for a moment, and hurriedly pulled Lin Fenghuo, who was confused, to the side, deliberately avoiding the opponent's sight. Lin Fenghuo realized something was wrong, and after the group of people passed by, he couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong?"
"It's him, Luoye City's first guard, Qin Kai, an old enemy." Yi Xifeng said.
This Qin Kai is a loyal and capable general under the arm of Princess Ji Shen of Luoye City. During the battle between Yinren Village and Luoye City, he alone faced the siege of Hansong, Ziling, Eagle Eye, Tengshe and other dead people. After being poisoned, In this situation, Han Song accidentally cut off his arm. Yi Xifeng recalled the experience of fighting with him and still felt that this person was very powerful.
Lin Fenghuo said disapprovingly: "What are you afraid of? After so many years, we have already changed our appearance. Can he still remember you?"
Yi Xifeng said: "Luoye City was once our mortal enemy. Yinren's destruction was inseparable from them, so it's better to be careful."
Lin Fenghuo nodded and said: "It's not too late today, let's find an inn quickly."
"Inn?" Yi Xifeng suddenly thought of something, "Jianghu Tavern!"
Yi Xifeng took Lin Fenghuo and followed his memory to the Jianghu Tavern opened by Zhang Ming. When he saw the full view of the inn, the dilapidated scene he imagined in his mind did not appear. Instead, the signboard was brightly polished, and the entire The inn is more open than I remembered back then, and there is an endless stream of guests.
"Could it be that Brother Zhang is back?" Yi Xifeng thought to himself, "That's not right. With what he did in Luoye City back then, it's impossible to safely open a tavern here."
Yi Xifeng felt very strange, so he took Lin Fenghuo into the tavern. He planned to stay here tonight. Because there were too many guests, the waiter was a little busy for a while. The two of them found a place to sit down, and then After a while, the waiter hurriedly came forward to greet us.
"Sir, would you like to eat or stay in a hotel?" the waiter asked.
Lin Fenghuo was already so hungry that he couldn't help but said, "If you have any good wine or food, just bring it over and prepare two more rooms."
"Okay, please wait a moment."
The waiter was about to leave, but Yi Xifeng stopped him and said, "Second brother, stay here. I have something to ask you."
"If you have any questions, please ask the waiter. I will tell you everything." The waiter seemed to be in a very good mood.
Yi Xifeng thought for a while and asked: "I remember that this Jianghu Tavern seemed to be opened by a man named Zhang Ming. Then something happened to him and he disappeared. Why is this Tavern open again now? "
The waiter said: "It seems that you haven't been to Luoye City for a long time. The previous owner of this place was indeed Zhang Ming. Later, after he left, our boss took over the place. Considering that the business here was pretty good before. Okay, I’ll just use the name Jianghu Tavern.”
Yi Xifeng nodded and continued to ask: "Is your business always so prosperous? I think you are too busy to keep your feet off the ground."
The waiter smiled and scratched his head and said: "It certainly can't be like this every day. Isn't this the marriage between the Qingyun Sect and the Luo Yun Sect? After welcoming the bride, returning to the Luo Yun Sect will pass by our Luoye City, so many people want to come and see the Luo Yun Sect. Isn't this The auction house also took this opportunity to get a lot of good things, hoping to get a high price."
Yi Xifeng understood everything he wanted to know, so he took out a tael of silver, handed it to the other party and said, "Thank you very much, second brother. You can go and do your work first."
The waiter took the money with a smile and went to greet other customers.
"Auction house..." Yi Xifeng said thoughtfully.
Lin Fenghuo guessed what he was thinking and asked, "What? Do you want to take a look?"
Yi Xifeng nodded and said, "It would be great if we could take pictures of something that would help us save Lingxi, but we definitely won't be able to go today. Let's go take a look tomorrow."
Lin Fenghuo agreed, and the food and drinks were served quickly. After the two of them finished eating and drinking, they went back to their rooms. However, Yi Xifeng couldn't fall asleep. He felt very irritable and anxious, hoping that Zhong Lingxi I felt very conflicted about arriving quickly and expecting her to arrive later, so I slowly fell asleep very late.
…
Late at night, in the governor's mansion of Luoye City, Ji Shen was sitting in a spacious room practicing. Suddenly, his chest felt like a heavy blow, his throat felt sweet, and he spit out a mouthful of old blood. He couldn't help but cursed: "Damn it. Old man, how long are you going to torture me if you keep this thing behind?"
What he was talking about was the Qingyun sword pattern left in Ou Yezi's body when he saved Yinren Town. This Qingyun sword pattern belongs to the unique swordsmanship of the Qingyun sect.
