Han Chen sat next to Ye Ansheng's body, waiting to see if any members of the Nufu Cult would come to rescue him.
Those who cannot save him will come to save his body, or at least take his soul back. This is the consistent practice of the Nufu Cult.
But Han Chen waited for a long time and didn't see anything unusual about Ye Ansheng's body.
Did the angry husband teach him no more?
The Nufu Sect has indeed restrained itself a lot recently. In the past, in the past...
What would it have been like in the past?
Han Chen had had many interactions with the Nufu Sect, but for a while, he was a little confused about what the Nufu Sect had done before.
"I'm still too tired." Han Chen stood up and looked to the west.
The journey was indeed difficult. It took Han Chen a day to run from Yunzhou to this place using the magic circle.
If he were running on the sea, there would be no place to stay in the middle, and Han Chen would definitely not be able to escape.
Fortunately, when I contacted Tao Huayuan before, Tao Huayuan made a mark on the land.
The so-called mark is Tao Huayuan's puppet.
Tao Huayuan's puppet stood there for a long time, then turned to the north.
A group of people came over, including Tong Qingqiu, Yu Shan, Chu He and others.
Tao Huayuan flashed directly in front of Han Chen, cupped her fists and saluted, "Senior Brother Han, thank you for arriving in time."
Han Chen waved his hand and said: "You have prepared everything here. You also took away most of Ye Ansheng's life. I just came to take care of it, so I didn't put in too much effort."
Tong Qingqiu smiled and said: "Senior Brother Han is very capable, and Junior Sister Tao is good at planning. If it weren't for you two, I'm afraid all the people in these three ships would have fallen into Ye Ansheng's hands."
Everyone chatted for a few words, and Han Chen said: "Ye Ansheng's matter has been dealt with. There are still some things in the Department of Yin and Yang that I want to tell you."
Upon hearing this, Yu Shan and others hurriedly avoided.
Han Chen looked to the east: "Zhiqiong said that this land leads directly to Qiancheng Kingdom. I didn't believe it before, but now that I'm here, I believe it.
Everyone, you escort the princess back to Daxuan. I will continue to go east and see if the end of this land is the Qiancheng Kingdom.
Zhiqiong said that this land did not completely seal the sea, let me see where the gap is."
Tong Qingqiu said worriedly: "Senior Brother Han, I heard Junior Sister Tao say on the way that you are on the imperial mission, so you should go back to Yunzhou early."
Han Chen shook his head and said: "The emperor asked me to investigate this matter. What can I find out in Yunzhou?
Ye Ansheng's head must be handed over to Zhiqiong, and only he can handle it.
In addition, Ye Ansheng has some dealings with the sinner, so he reminds Zhi Qiong to be careful."
Tong Qingqiu was confused after hearing this.
Why can Ye Ansheng’s head be handed over to Zhi Qiong for disposal?
What is the origin of the Sinner?
Why remind Zhi Qiong to be careful?
Tao Huayuan knew that Xu Zhiqiong's Taoism was special. Seeing that Tong Qingqiu wanted to ask a question, she quickly changed the subject and said: "Brother Tong, you have to take good care of Pang Jiafen. This girl has fallen in love with you. If you don't handle it properly, you will offend Princess Yuyao.
, the days ahead will not be easy.”
"Look what you said!" Tong Qingqiu smiled uninhibitedly, "If I really marry her back, will my life be easier?"
Han Chen looked at Tong Qingqiu and was very puzzled: "Junior brother, with your appearance, how can you have such a good fate and still have a beautiful woman throw you into your arms?"
Tong Qingqiu smiled and said: "Senior brother is handsome in appearance, but his temperament is not pleasing to the eye."
Han Chen frowned and said, "Why am I so unpleasant? Please speak more clearly!"
After a few words of laughter, the matter was revealed, and Han Chen headed east, heading straight to Qiancheng Kingdom.
Tao Huayuan used a magic circle to hand over Ye Ansheng's head to Xu Zhiqiong, and escorted Liang Yuyao back to Daxuan.
Xu Zhiqiong avoided all major roads and only took the less traveled paths.
Seeing that he had been in a state of confusion for the past two days, Qianniang only knew that the situation on the ship was very bad, but she didn't know why Xu Zhiqiong refused to go back to the ship to rescue him.
It seems to be related to these two seniors.
Even though Qianniang was so smart, she couldn't figure out the origins of these two seniors. The only thing she could see was that Zhi Qiong was deeply wary of them.
In fact, Qiongqi and Huan Chao were quite peaceful these past two days. Huan Chao only cared about driving, while Qiong Qi was fascinated by flowers and plants, picking two from time to time and carrying them on his head.
Perhaps because of his handsome appearance, Qianniang saw that Qiongqi looked beautiful with any flower he wore. Some mountain flowers were bright red and purple, which were obviously gaudy, but when worn on Qiongqi's head, they seemed so elegant.
The carriage drove to a barren mountain and came across a small building with two floors, which seemed to be an inn.
The route Xu Zhiqiong chose was too remote. He had never met anyone along the way, let alone an inn.
These days were spent sleeping in the open air. Although Chaos cast spells and built houses along the way, life was not hard, but Xu Zhiqiong felt better when he could see people.
Chaos looked at the inn, then turned back to Xu Zhiqiong and said, "Let's stay here for one night so that we can wash away the dust."
Qianniang said happily: "It's good to wash it!"
Qiongqi sneered and said, "What are you doing now? Are you going to serve your husband?"
Qianniang blushed and remained silent.
Chaos said expressionlessly: "Let's go and rest for a day. Don't worry, I will never kill innocent people indiscriminately."
Qiongqi sighed: "If he doesn't kill indiscriminately, it's hard for me to tell."
Xu Zhiqiong stared at the inn for a long time, feeling very conflicted.
Why do I want to sleep in this inn so badly?
What's so good about this inn?
I tried my best to avoid people all the way, just because I was afraid that these two evil spirits would harm innocent people. Why did I have to enter this inn today?
There seemed to be some kind of power in this, driving Xu Zhiqiong to take a look at the inn.
The copper coins beating on my chest seemed to be a warning.
You really can't go to this place, Copper Coin has already sensed the danger.
How dangerous is it?
Xu Zhiqiong quietly took out the copper coin, held it in his hand, and fumbled around.
Six copper coins, all with the sun facing upward, are a sign of good luck!
Going to this store not only does no harm, but actually has benefits?
What's the benefit?
It is rare for a copper coin to have its six sides facing up.
While he was hesitating, the shop owner came out of the inn.
"When I was washing up at noon today, I saw a spider crawling on the dressing table. There is a saying that good news is announced in the morning and wealth is announced in the evening. Guests will come either early or late. This is really accurate."
The owner of the shop is a handsome woman, in her mid-twenties, with eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes, an oval face, and a charming manner.
Xu Zhiqiong smiled: "Lady boss, have you come out to greet the guests in person?"
"The slave family doesn't even bother to take a look at an ordinary guest. The slave family doesn't dare to neglect this unusual guest."
Xu Zhiqiong was surprised: "How do you know we are unusual?"
"You are so full of nobility that you can blow it on your face from three to five miles away. The slave family has been in business for several years, do you still have this kind of discernment? Are you going to be a top or stay in a hotel?"
Xu Zhiqiong asked the price: "How much is the tip? How about staying in a hotel?"
The landlady smiled charmingly: "I'm talking about the money, but I don't know how much it is. It's fine and it depends on the order number. If you are full and full, I'll give you some."
The quality of the hotel depends on the quality of the hotel. The room is 500 yuan a night, with good food, good drinks, and good beds. If the bed feels cold, there is a young lady who can warm the quilt for the guests.
The middle room costs 280 cents a night, and it’s easy to eat and drink well, but the little lady’s pollen has to be calculated separately.
I'll pay you seventy cents a night, a place to stay, something to eat, and you'll all prepare your own quilts."
Xu Zhiqiong nodded and said: "The price is fair. We are foreigners and have just arrived. What kind of house do you think is suitable for us?"
"It's definitely not appropriate to go downstairs, it's not suitable for your status, and it's superfluous to go up there. The young ladies in our shop look passable, but compared to these two girls, they really can't do anything.
These two girls are both heavenly-looking, so the four guests ordered the two middle rooms to stay happily for one night. I won’t bother you with the vulgar beauty in my shop."
Qianniang's cheeks were red and she smiled without saying a word.
Xu Zhiqiong nodded: "It's up to you, choose the two middle rooms."
Qianniang bit her lips and whispered: "Xu Lang..."
Xu Zhiqiong pinched Qianniang's dimple: "What, are you shy?"
Qiongqi looked at Huan Chaos and said with a smile: "It's okay to stay with you for one night, but don't make the wrong move."
"You still don't understand what I'm thinking?" Chaos showed a crooked smile.
Xu Zhiqiong handed the carriage to the waiter, took out a handful of money and handed it to the proprietress.
The landlady said in surprise: "The middle bedroom doesn't need so much."
Xu Zhiqiong smiled and said: "Keep it, maybe it's a pleasant stay. I'll stay with you for a few more days."
The landlady promised again and again: "If you don't say that this servant has good eyesight, the guest is really a noble man. The shop has not been open for three days, but today it has a good business."
"It hasn't been open for three days? There are no other customers in the store?"
"There are no guests, just you."
"That's good, you can live in peace!"
Xu Zhiqiong opened the pupil of sinful karma, and the sinful karma on the head of the boss lady was one foot and two feet long.
In the blink of an eye, I looked at the guy again, and he saw six inches and three of his sins.
The barren mountains and ridges were originally a dark shop.
Looking at the scale of this crime, this landlady has caused countless lives.
Moreover, she is also a person with good cultivation, and her cultivation level should be above the fourth level.
"May I ask what you call the boss lady?"
"My mother-in-law is the ninth child, so the shop assistants all call me Jiuniang."
Xu Zhiqiong nodded and said: "Jiu Niang, please lead the way."
Jiuniang took everyone upstairs, tidied up the two middle rooms, and settled the four people in.
After a while, the waiter prepared the wine and food, and everyone went to the first floor to eat. Jiuniang ordered the people to prepare the charcoal stove and cooked wine for everyone herself.
After the first batch of wine was cooked, Xu Zhiqiong took a sip, shook his head and said, "The taste is a bit bland."
Qiongqi took a sip and sighed: "It's too light. This is not wine at all."
Chaos drank it all in one gulp without comment.
Qianniang picked up the wine glass and was about to taste it when she felt Xu Zhiqiong's palm caressing the peach.
In the past two days, Xu Zhiqiong's conscience and peach had been used a lot, but these gentle caresses were very urgent, as if they were meant to be a warning.
You can't drink this wine.
Qianniang was also on guard in the barren mountain shop, but the friendly look of this Jiuniang would always make Qianniang relax unconsciously.
Xu Lang refused to drink, so Qianniang naturally didn't dare to drink and put the glass down.
Qiongqi sneered: "Say Jiuniang, your wine is so tasteless that my girls didn't even drink it."
Jiuniang snorted and said, "I don't know if it's because the slave's craftsmanship is not good or because the wine is not good."
Qiongqi sighed: "The wine is just mediocre, and your skills are indeed poor. Let me teach you."
Qiongqi gave some random instructions, and Jiuniang mixed another pot of wine. Xu Zhiqiong drank a glass and praised it profusely: "This glass is delicious."
Chaos still drank it all in one gulp, but Qianniang still didn't dare to drink. Jiuniang drank a glass by herself and said in surprise: "Girl, you are so skilled. I learned this skill of cooking wine from you, but I won't have to use it in the future."
Worried about not being able to make a living."
Xu Zhiqiong opened his mouth to eat and drink. The wine was poisonous. It was a very delicate and rare poison. It had a very light smell and a very light color. It was almost impossible to distinguish it when mixed in the wine, but Xu Zhiqiong still noticed it.
Xu Zhiqiong didn't care, he just drank it in big gulps. With his trick, this kind of poison couldn't hurt him at all.
But Qianniang didn't dare to move her chopsticks.
"Eat, wait until I feed you." Xu Zhiqiong picked up a piece of mutton and fed it to Qianniang's mouth.
There is no poison in the food, Xu Zhiqiong is sure of this. He and Tong Qingqiu have learned too much about pharmacology, and they have Yin and Yang cultivation, coupled with their strong perception, poisons, intoxicants and the like will definitely not be hidden from him.
After eating and drinking, everyone went back to their rooms. The waiter prepared hot water and a large wooden basin in one room for everyone to take a bath.
Qianniang blushed and said, "Xu Lang washes first."
Xu Zhiqiong smiled and said: "Let's decide in what order, together, together."
Qianniang was too embarrassed to raise her head. After taking off her clothes, she got into the tub. After waiting for a long time, Xu Zhiqiong was nowhere to be seen.
"Xu Lang, you're not coming..." Qianniang waited for a long time, but Xu Zhiqiong was nowhere to be seen.
Xu Zhiqiong quietly left the room through the window. He wanted to see what method the black shop wanted to use, whether to chop them into buns or use them for other purposes.
I searched all over the inn, not even the toilets or stables, and Xu Zhiqiong couldn't find anyone.
I underestimated this shady store.
Where did they go?
Outside the inn, within five hundred steps, Qiongqi looked at Jiu Niang and said with a smile: "Xiao Jiu, you have made great progress, but I didn't see that you had this ability before."
Jiuniang smiled humbly: "It all depends on Master's guidance."
