Just after noon, tables and stools were set up in the backyard of Qianfangli. White porridge, steamed buns, meat cakes, and pickles were all placed in large basins on the table for the waist knives who gathered around to eat.
Bailang usually eats here with the waist knife under his hand. We also often chat about interesting things. Together we started to focus on the common experience we had last time going to the Flower House. Later, they began to talk about the past events they had encountered when they were street wanderers. Anyway, bragging and spanking, although these words are mostly exaggerated, you can still hear the past context of these waist knives, and can also shorten the distance between them.
Perhaps in the past, the town hall in Qianfang was not as easy-going as Bailang. It was even said that Bailang was the first town hall these waist knives met who would gather with them to eat steamed buns and drink white porridge.
Bailang actually wanted to say that when he was a street wanderer, a lunch of steamed buns and meatloaf was considered a good meal. How could you dislike it?
"Zhentang, it was said that there will be soy sauce beef at noon today. Brothers, I would like to have two drinks. Do you think so?"
"Brothers who don't work shifts in the afternoon and evening can drink, but those who have something to do are not allowed to drink." Bai Lang said with a smile, closed a ledger, stood up and walked out.
"Okay Zhentang, don't you go over for dinner today?" Zhang Wu asked subconsciously when he saw Bailang walking out.
"No, I'm going out."
"Then I'll ask my two brothers to come with you." Zhang Wu quickly followed.
"No, I'll be right back."
Bailang refused Zhang Wu's arrangement, left Qianfang, and left the city directly from Dongcheng, then walked north around the suburbs of the city. He even turned off the official road along the way and spent most of the time in the mountains and forests relying on his body skills to jump up and down quickly.
This trip to Bailang is to retrieve the "treasure" hidden by Huang Yi. He calculated the time and found that although the place Huang Yi mentioned was not far from Yongchuan City, it was not close either. If he wanted to avoid sight, he would have to go through the mountains at noon. When you get to a place, you still have to spend time comparing and searching. After you find it and then go back, it takes a lot of time to draw. So we had to leave at noon, and it would be that night before we could return if everything went smoothly.
However, what Bailang didn't expect was that shortly after he left the city, he felt a slight abnormal sound hanging in the distance behind him, and it seemed to deliberately match his movement frequency, as if he wanted to use this to hide the increasingly rapid movement. Moving traces that cannot be completely concealed.
"Did you really follow me?" Bai Lang secretly laughed in his heart.
Bai Lang could feel that someone was following him long ago. He was clearly following him, and it was the usual way for street wanderers. Bai Lang was very familiar with this road. He had often followed others when he was hanging out with Zhou Dong. The function is to figure out the other party's movement trajectory and patterns. There is no intention to go up and contact the other party.
But since leaving the city today, Bailang has noticed that the people following him have changed. They are no longer the street wanderers they were before, but the kind of experts who are obviously more professional and more hidden. Some of them were like the trace-hunting masters who came with Tang Yan from the knife studio where Li Jiang died in the woods to the east of the city.
Because Bailang was not moving very fast at the beginning, there was obviously a process of tracking and replacement behind him. With Bailang's experience, he could easily detect the following and disappeared. Only the spiritual sense brought by the aura could still vaguely tell that there was someone there. Still following him from a distance.
After that, Bailang turned down the official road and increased his speed, which made the people following him vulnerable.
There were three people in total. Fortunately, they were all warriors and not Qi practitioners. This made Bai Lang feel confident. He could guess that the other party had bad intentions and knew where the place came from. The only people in Yongchuan City who wanted to take action against him had the courage and strength were those related to Cheng Jian, who had his mouth chopped open and his tongue cut off.
I heard that Cheng Jian lost his position in Qianfang Town Hall after his mouth was decapitated. After all, a cripple who can't even speak or even close his jaw, and drools all day long, how can he sit in charge of Qianfang like this? I can only find another job. Anyway, no one has seen Cheng Jian in the city for a long time.
Because of this, Cheng Jian's uncle, the famous Red Swordsman Gao Fei of Lin Knife Hall, became even more furious. It is said that he vowed to kill Bai Lang to avenge his nephew.
If someone else were to be sworn to be killed by a man like Gao Fei with a famous red sword, they would definitely feel uneasy and even be in panic all day long.
But Bailang didn't care, he had never been afraid of Gao Fei's threat from the beginning.
At first, it was because Gao Fei didn't dare to come to Dongcheng, otherwise he would be liquidated by a top swordsman like Tang Yan. Bailang is not afraid of the other people who can be commanded by Gao Fei. If he really dares to come, Bailang will not say that he has the confidence to fight back, but at least he can protect himself.
Later, Bailang's own strength improved by leaps and bounds. Putting aside the skills and methods, in terms of martial arts alone, he has now stepped into the seventh level, possessing two green-letter martial arts. In actual combat, sixth and fifth levels are not a problem, even if Gao Fei personally Come here, he is now confident to deal with the fourth-grade warrior, and even considering the spells in his hands, he feels that he can definitely kill the opponent.
During this period of time, due to the spiritual stone, Bailang had made rapid progress, and he was even more indifferent to the period of time behind him. Sometimes he would almost forget it if it weren't for the seemingly invisible following that reminded him.
When Bailang left the city today, he also thought about whether the other party would follow him, and now it turned out to be true.
Bailang kept walking at the same speed for another hour, and seemed to be tired, so he found a big rock in a secluded hill to sit down and rest. He also took out the wild pears he picked on the way, wiped them with the hem of his clothes, and then started to eat them. , both for hydration and stomach padding.
The pears are not very sweet, slightly sour, but full of water. Bailang thinks they are quite tasty if you don’t pick them. And it's not like he was really tired or thirsty. Looking for such a good place to stop for "encirclement and annihilation" is not just to lure the snake out of its hole and then shock and catch the opponent off guard.
After chasing him so far, Bailang estimated that the other party could no longer hold his breath.
Sure enough, the three breaths behind him waited for a while after Bailang stopped, as if they were discussing, and then quickly dispersed and shrank quickly.
"Hey, look who they are." Bailang didn't feel panic, but instead felt a long-awaited excitement. If you really count, this is the first time he has killed someone seriously, rather than the sudden situation before. He even has the intention to calculate others but not the intention.
When Bai Lang ate the third pear, Bai Lang could no longer rely on his spiritual sense, but only relied on the warrior's sense to detect the strange movements around him. But he still held back and waited for a while. It wasn't until the other party was within five feet that he seemed to be surprised.
"Who!? Come out!"
The other party doesn't have much to do, so being able to touch this place before being discovered already shows Bailang's "strength".
When Bai Lang saw one of the three people, he secretly thought of good luck.
Gao Fei actually came in person!
