The group of people returned to Jiangling City. Since they had not made any money, the casual cultivators said goodbye briefly and left. Only Wu Tong quietly reminded them before leaving.
Sitting in the inn, Fan Miao looked very bad. She didn't gain anything at all from this trip, and she still mobilized troops and mobilized people like this. If her colleagues heard about it after she returned, she didn't know how they would laugh at her.
At this time, Fan Miao asked: "Who asked you to come?"
Gu Xiaotian didn't answer, just lowered his head silently.
In fact, Fan Miao had already guessed it, but still didn't reveal it. It was too late to say anything now. She just sighed silently and said: "I will tell Gu Qingfeng about this. It is better for you not to know about any news about Leng Qingqiu in the future. "
Gu Xiaotian argued: "Senior Fan, my senior sister really didn't kill anyone, can you please be lenient?"
Fan Miao slapped the long knife on the table, crossed her legs, folded her hands across her chest and said, "Whether she killed someone or not is up to you. In the eyes of the Heaven and Earth Alliance, she is already a sinner."
Gu Xiaotian was speechless.
This matter is unclear.
What's more, the senior sister has already made her choice. No matter how she excuses herself, she still can't get around the issue of the Leng family's rebellion.
"When you've finished your work, leave quickly and go to Beihuang. There are still a lot of things waiting for you to do there."
Xiao Yinyin and Niu Kuiping didn't know what happened, but looking at the scene in front of them, they really couldn't say anything. :
After Fan Miao left, Xiao Yinyin simply said: "I think Senior Sister Leng is a good person."
It was late, things in Jiangnan happened too fast, and ended too hastily. Gu Xiaotian was a little upset for a while, not knowing where to go tomorrow.
It's as if I'm trapped in a frame, and every time I want to escape, I bump around like a headless fly.
Several people packed their luggage and left the city overnight.
In the carriage, several people were silent.
Xiao Yinyin wanted to make a few jokes to make everyone happy, but what she got in exchange was waves of embarrassing apologetic laughter. In the end, Xiao Yinyin realized what was going on and calmed down obediently.
Niu Kuiping opened the car curtain and asked, "Where are we going next?"
Gu Xiaotian closed his eyes and said calmly: "Let's go directly to Beihuang."
Niu Kuiping said hello and quietly drove the carriage again.
Walking back from the south of the Yangtze River, we did take some long detours, but the walk was fairly smooth. We actually found a small group of monsters in a town. The strength of these monsters was extremely average, so they were naturally attracted by them. Niu Kuiping and Xiao Yinyin used it to practice.
After killing someone for the first time, Niu Kuiping was a little frightened. He didn't say a word for several days.
Gu Xiaotian looked at his condition and murmured: "This kid will become stupid if he continues like this."
Xiao Yinyin didn't seem to care about this at all, and asked curiously: "How did you two feel about killing someone for the first time?"
Gu Xiaotian closed his eyes and recalled that when he first faced the problem of killing, even when Feiniao crippled Gu Laosan and dragged him in front of Gu Xiaotian, Gu Xiaotian still couldn't take action.
But later, during the battle at the peak, his good brother died in front of him, and Gu Xiaocai finally took this step.
Gu Xiaotian replied: "There is a feeling of relief."
"It's like there is a stone hanging in your heart forever. You always want to touch it with your hands, but you always take it back when you are about to touch it. From beginning to end, you are thinking about when you can finally touch it. Touch this stone until you are ready for everything. After taking this stone off, everything in the past will be relieved."
Xiao Yinyin nodded. Although he didn't quite understand the feeling, he still praised it for being so profound.
Gu Xiaotian walked outside the carriage, put his arm around Niu Kuiping's shoulders, and asked with a smile: "Does it feel uncomfortable to take this step?"
Niu Kuiping twitched the corners of his mouth and nodded silently.
Gu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Since you have chosen this path, you must take this step, especially now, no matter what
You're not ready. "
Niu Kuiping closed his mouth and said nothing. He just turned his head and glanced at Gu Xiaotian, and then continued driving.
Gu Xiaotian smiled and patted his shoulder, stood up and returned to the carriage.
He had to cross this hurdle himself.
The carriage drove continuously for a long time, and after hurrying slowly, it finally arrived in the Northland.
Although it is not the real Northern Wilderness now, you can already feel that the scene here is different from when it was in Jiangnan Donghai, so relaxed and comfortable.
Xiao Yinyin was amazed again and again. This kind of scene was difficult for her to see.
Only Gu Xiaotian felt heavy.
Many mysteries may be solved one by one during this trip to the Northern Wilderness.
Gu Xiaotian took out the golden hairpin Leng Qingqiu gave him, held it in his hand, and remained silent.
After putting away the golden hairpin, Gu Xiaotian stuck his head out and looked at the scenery of the Northland. He suddenly remembered what his senior sister said to him before leaving.
Throughout the Bahuang Continent, there were many cities in the Northland, but there was a problem that gave the emperor a headache, and that was who the Northland should listen to.
A small part of the large and small cities and towns in the North Underground have surrendered to Yanyun. After all, their terrain is close to Yanyun, and there is no reason to seek refuge with others.
Most of the other forces actually took refuge in one city, Mobei City.
In the beginning, Mobei City was just a leader, but more and more forces chose to join Mobei. Over time, Mobei City was no longer called Mobei City, but was given the title of Northern Wasteland.
However, Beihuang has never wanted to be independent, but has always been obedient to the contemporary court. Therefore, the emperor gradually let down his guard and allowed Beihuang to develop.
After all, the development of Beihuang benefits the country and the people, and there is nothing wrong with it.
But at this most critical juncture, trouble occurred in Beihuang, which had always been loyal to the imperial court. However, it is obviously unrealistic to attack by force at this time. In this area of Northland, one soldier can be picked out of every three people. Miao Zilai, all of them have embarked on the path of martial arts since childhood.
The north is brave, the south is wise. This is what people in the world say about the overall power of the Eight Wastelands today.
The carriage has arrived at the gate of Mobei City. I thought there would be some trouble, but I just did a routine inspection and let the carriage enter the city.
Gu Xiaotian wondered: "How can you come in so easily?"
Hao Hao reminded: "It's better to be careful. Who knows what tricks these barbarians in Beihuang will pull, even if they invite you to enter the urn, you can't tell."
A few people found an inn to settle down for a short time. Everything here seemed extremely normal. The people lived and worked in peace and contentment, especially the shopkeeper, who showed the enthusiasm of the people in the North. At first glance, these four people were all outsiders. All kinds of good wine and food were served, and at the end, he waved his hand gracefully and said, "How wonderful it is to have friends from far away!"
The four of them smiled awkwardly. After all, the shopkeeper had been talking non-stop since they entered the store, talking about everything from astronomy and geography to firewood, rice, oil and salt. It was a bit embarrassing, but it was hard to bring shame on others, so I could only listen obediently.
"Shopkeeper, Master Xing is here!"
At this time, the waiter who was greeting guests at the door of the inn shouted.
Afterwards, the waiter said courteously: "Mr. Xing, what brings you here? You can come to our little inn, it will be a great success!"
As he finished speaking, many women turned their heads to look at him, looking infatuated.
This lucky young man, with his eyebrows and cherry mouth, looks somewhat similar to a woman, but his gestures reveal a lot of masculinity. Even Xiao Yinyin couldn't help but sigh that he is so handsome.
Mr. Xing pressed his hands and said, "Everyone, today I am here to meet an old friend of mine. I have disturbed everyone's meal and rest. All the expenses today will be charged to me, Mr. Xing. Everyone, feel free to eat!"
The crowd cheered, but Mr. Xing just smiled and walked towards the inner table step by step.
Everyone couldn't help but look in the direction Mr. Xing was walking. Who could be Mr. Xing?
Who is my old friend?
Mr. Xing stopped at Gu Xiaotian's table, sat down on the bench naturally, and said, "Shopkeeper, I'm still busy filling a pair of bowls and chopsticks."
The shopkeeper nodded repeatedly, looked at Gu Xiaotian again, and felt even more happy. He had shown so much to Gu Xiaotian just now, but if Gu Xiaotian ignored him, he would get support from the Xing family. He aspires to open his inn throughout the entire Northern Wasteland!
After the bowls and chopsticks were served, Mr. Xing was like a familiar person, picking up vegetables and drinking wine, and even invited several people to eat together. He even let out a sigh: "It's been a long time since I've eaten so happily."
"Mr. Xing, I don't seem to know you."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.
Even Mr. Xing, who was still sighing just now, had his hands frozen in mid-air.
In the eyes of others, this is a loss of Mr. Xing’s face!
Mr. Xing happened to represent the Xing family. Although he was of a lower seniority, he also had the surname Xing. Just with this surname, he could live a very prosperous life in Beihuang.
Mr. Xing put down his chopsticks, just smiled at Gu Xiaotian, cupped his hands and said, "Xing Feng, I am the fourth child. It doesn't matter if some of you don't know me. I am quite familiar with some of you."
Gu Xiaotian said coldly: "Investigating us?"
Xingfeng nodded without hesitation.
In an instant, Hao Hao slapped the table and stood up, put his sword directly on Xingfeng's neck, and asked sternly: "Tell me, what are we doing to investigate?"
Except for this table, everyone held their breath involuntarily.
These people are a bit too brave!
He actually dared to attack people from the Xing family in Beihuang. If Mr. Xing found out about this, it would be a problem whether he could leave Beihuang alive.
However, Xingfeng showed that he was extremely unconcerned. He poured himself a glass of wine, took a few sips, and then said slowly: "The entire Bahuang knows your name outside. I won't investigate you." , our Sachi family can’t sleep either.”
Then, Xingfeng slowly stood up, pointed at his neck, and said with a smile: "If you are not afraid, Young Master Hao Hao, just chop here."
The two confronted each other. Even though Hao Hao was angry, there was no source for the murder at this moment, and he had no reason for it.
What's more, the ultimate goal of this trip to the Northern Wilderness is to wipe out the Xing family. If we do this now, it will inevitably alert the enemy. If the Xing family tracks down the enemy, they will definitely not be able to resist it with the strength of the four of them.
After all, this is their territory, and they have such a big power in Beihuang, so they have to be careful in everything.
Xingfeng sighed and said, "I've given you a chance. If you want to kill me next time, it won't be easy."
Xingfeng finished the last glass of wine on the table and whispered to several people: "My father wants to invite you to talk to me at the mansion someday. Can you guys give me some face?"
Gu Xiaotian snorted coldly in his heart.
This is undoubtedly a Hongmen Banquet.
"Why should I give you this face?"
After hearing this, Xingfeng just smiled and said calmly: "In Beihuang, do you have any choice?"
Gu Xiaotian and Hao Hao both had sullen faces, and even Xiao Yinyin looked at Xingfeng with some hatred. The last good impression of this handsome guy was gone in an instant.
Xingfan patted Gu Xiaotian on the shoulder and whispered: "Think about it carefully." Then he left straight away. When he walked to the door, Xingfeng suddenly turned his head.
"Don't you want to know the whereabouts of Song Bufan?"
Xingfeng smiled faintly and didn't say anything else. He just walked out of the door and reminded loudly: "If you are really concerned about the whereabouts of your senior sister and Song Bufan, I will wait for you at the Xing family mansion in the future."
This was not a big farce. Others may not know Xingfeng's intentions, but Gu Xiaotian's expression was a little ugly.
This is obviously a blatant provocation!
As early as when they entered the city, the Xing family had already set their sights on Gu Xiaotian and his group. After all, the Xing family in the Beihuang area could cover the sky with one hand. It was not difficult to know who was leaving the city and who was entering the city every day.
However, the Xing family's wishful thinking was really shrewd, and it whetted the appetite of Gu Xiaotian and his party. I'm afraid no one would care more about those two things than them.
Gu Xiaotian thought for a while, and finally had to grit his teeth and said, "Even if it's the Hongmen Banquet, I have to go."
