Not far away, Yuanfang looked back and immediately saw the familiar face of Chen Guishuo following him not far away. He immediately reminded Niu Youdao in a low voice: "Master Dao, no, they are following."
Niu Youdao turned around, confirmed that four people were following him, and whispered: "Their target is me. Let's go separately, otherwise I won't be able to protect you once they start attacking."
Yuanfang knew that this was the truth, and he had no grudge against the Song family. Master Tao was their target. If the two of them were separated, Master Tao might have a greater chance of escaping alone. He would be a burden with him, so he agreed.
He said in a voice: "Master Dao, what should you do?"
Niu Youdao: "You don't need to worry about me. You can get away first. It's very likely that no one of us can leave together. Remember, when you go to the governor's mansion, we will meet outside the governor's mansion. If you find that something is wrong, you can just force him."
If you break into the Governor's Mansion and get caught, tell him that he is someone sent by the prince, and the Governor's Mansion will naturally contact Fang Zhe for verification."
Yuan Fang hummed and looked at Niu Youdao with complicated eyes. Master Dao wanted to divert the danger away by himself!
"Ahead!" Niu Youdao reminded.
There was a fork in the road ahead, where people were coming and going. Yuanfang understood what he meant and separated in front.
After arriving at the fork in the road, Yuanfang reminded: "Master Dao, be careful!"
Niu Youdao didn't say anything, and the two of them separated, walking left and right.
The four people following behind looked at each other, and the Golden elixir monk pointed at the two Foundation-building monks and followed Yuanfang, while he led Chen Guishuo and continued to follow Niu Youdao.
Passing by a stall, Niu Youdao threw a few coins into the vendor's basket, took a piece of fruit, wiped it with his sleeve, and took a bite. He turned around to observe and found that there were only two people following him, so he immediately said to himself
Oops, Yuan Fang is probably in trouble, and I don’t know if Yuan Fang can get away. Now we can only hope that the other party won’t dare to do anything openly in the city, otherwise Yuan Fang will have a hard time getting out.
With a mouthful of sweet and juicy fruit in his mouth, Niu Youdao continued to move forward with a heavy heart.
Yuanfang on the other road also complained secretly, realizing that he was being targeted.
He also walked to a stall, threw money and bought a piece of pancake, and asked the stall owner: "Where is the governor's office?"
When he asked this question, his guts turned green with regret. He had taken a detour outside the Governor's Mansion before, but he saw something new everywhere and forgot about the way.
The stall owner waved his finger and said, "You can see it by turning right and crossing two streets ahead."
Yuan Fang took note of it, gnawed on the scones and continued to move forward.
A foundation-building monk walked to the stall that Yuan Fang had visited just now, took a piece of scone, and threw a silver coin to the stall owner, "No need to look for it, you pointed just now, and the man in the felt hat asked
What did you do?"
You can get one silver coin for a piece of pancake. The stall owner was so happy that he exposed Yuan Fang directly without any concealment, "Oh, he didn't ask anything. He asked where the governor's office was."
The two foundation-building monks looked at each other, their eyes darkened, and they realized that Niu Youdao had been deceiving them before. He was not from the Governor's Mansion at all. How could the people in the Governor's Mansion not know where the Governor's Mansion was?
The two men immediately accelerated their speed and rushed towards Yuanfang. They no longer had any scruples about the people in the Governor's Mansion and were ready to take action.
When he turned around and saw his stalker stopped in front of the stall where he bought cakes, Yuanfang knew something was wrong and wanted to slap himself twice. This was the consequence of being playful!
In fact, this is indeed the case. If it were Yuan Gang, he would not have made such a low-level mistake.
Seeing that the opponent was approaching quickly, Yuanfang threw away the pancake in his hand, ignored the exclamations in the street, and flew directly onto the roof, leaping across the roof to escape, hoping to reach the Governor's Mansion as soon as possible.
The two foundation-building monks quickly jumped into the air and quickly caught up with Yuan Fang.
Only then did Yuan Fang realize that there was more than a slight gap between his own cultivation and his opponent's, but it was too late to regret it.
Bang! There was a huge pain in my waist, I was kicked, and I fell to the ground in a deserted alley. After I calmed myself down, my chest was stepped on, and a cold sword edge was pressed against me.
on the neck...
There were exclamations from the crowd behind him. Niu Youdao quickly looked back and saw a person falling from the sky and landing next to the two people following him.
Niu Youdao recognized that it was one of the four people he had followed before. If his estimation was correct, this person should have gone separate ways with Yuanfang.
Seeing this person's appearance, Niu Youdao realized something was wrong.
Sure enough, after that man bit his ears with the two people following him, they immediately approached quickly.
Niu Youdao, who was watching all directions and listening in all directions, turned around naturally and went directly into a luxurious brothel nearby.
"Everyone has a share!" A group of gorgeous girls came around. Niu Youdao grabbed a handful of gold coins, and with a flash of light in his palm, he threw them out.
"Yeah!" A group of girls immediately got into a mess and went to grab the money. Madams, turtles and the like also joined in to pick up money. It was a lively scene.
The moment the three monks rushed into the brothel, the window on the right side of the main entrance of the brothel opened and a figure flashed out.
As the three of them entered the front door, Niu Youdao came out of the window on the side, gently closed the window, and walked away quickly.
The three people who rushed into the brothel saw that the scene was in chaos. They quickly scanned the scene. Some people went upstairs to search, some people searched downstairs, and some people quickly came out and flew to the top of the building to observe, in case Niu Youdao escaped from other directions of the brothel...
…
Niu Youdao, who returned to Fulin Inn, quickly found Fang Zhe. When they met, he said, "Take me to the Governor's Mansion and introduce me to Hairuyue!"
"Now?" Fang Zhe was stunned and looked at the sky outside the window, "It's getting dark soon. Isn't it appropriate to go see him at this time?"
Niu Youdao said in a deep voice: "Immediately! Quick! We can't stay here anymore, move immediately!"
There is no need to rush. Based on the judgment of the previous situation, it is estimated that these people would not dare to kill people openly in the city unless they had to. There is a high possibility that Yuanfang is still alive. If it is Yuan Gang, he can guarantee that Yuan Gang will not be beaten to death.
He really couldn't guarantee that he would find a foothold here, but Yuanfang was too smooth. He couldn't rely on Yuanfang's tough words to stay here and take risks.
Another point is that if he is found, Yuan Fang will be in more danger. If he cannot be found, Yuan Fang has a greater chance of surviving for a while.
He must find a way to rescue Yuan Fang as soon as possible. The sooner he starts, the greater the chance of Yuan Fang's survival. The longer it takes, the more dangerous Yuan Fang is. In addition, if time delays, he still doesn't know what Yuan Fang will say.
Things must come as early as possible.
Hearing this, Fang Zhe knew something was wrong and nodded repeatedly: "Okay!"
He called two of his companions who were also on business, and quickly evacuated the inn together with Niu Youdao.
A few people found another place to rent a sedan. Niu Youdao got into the sedan to cover up, and the group went straight to the Governor's Mansion...
As night fell, Chen Guishuo and others returned to Liufang Pavilion after searching the brothel for a while but finding nothing.
Liufang Hall is a hall set up by the governor of Jinzhou to entertain guests. It has many large and small courtyards. There are many people coming from other places to celebrate Hai Ruyue's birthday this time, and Song Long is just one of them.
"Run away?" Song Long, who was standing with his hands behind his hands in the hall, suddenly turned around and stared at the Jindan monk named Xie Chun, the leader of the four, "That Niu Youdao seems to be a Qi refining monk, right? You guys can actually
Let him escape under your nose? His Majesty sent you to be my escort, I am very worried!"
If I just say it directly, even a Qi Refining monk can't handle it. Do I still expect you to protect me?
Xie Chun looked embarrassed, and he was also puzzled. He clearly saw Niu Youdao entering the brothel, and obviously had quickly controlled the brothel immediately, but Niu Youdao seemed to have disappeared out of thin air. In short, it was right under their noses.
He disappeared underneath, and no one in the brothel saw where Niu Youdao went. It was really a ghost.
"That Niu Youdao is indeed cunning. He threw away a handful of gold coins..."
Xie Chung just ventured to defend himself, but Song Long interrupted: "No need to explain, right?"
The implication is, does the defense make sense?
Another Jindan monk named Huang Xusheng said: "Master Song, there is no point in talking about this now. Niu Youdao's accomplices are here. The real issue is to interrogate Niu Youdao quickly and force him to question him!"
So Yuanfang was quickly dragged up, and Huang Xusheng drew his sword in his hand with a swipe, and the blade of the sword was pressed against Yuanfang's eyeball, "Where is Niu Youdao? If you dare to tell a lie, I will gouge out one of your eyes!"
"
The frightened Yuan Fang was stunned, his eyes rolled around, and he understood instantly, Master Dao ran away, otherwise people would not ask this question!
I felt a cry in my heart, look at other people's Taoist masters, and then look at myself, this is the gap!
He didn't try to be brave, he looked frightened and said tremblingly: "Fu Lin Inn! Fulin Inn on Tongfu Road..." He even decided which room to stay in.
He can guarantee that people like Mr. Dao are no longer at the Fulin Inn, so why should he insist on being so cruel?
He had even expected that Master Dao would definitely find a way to save him, otherwise some secrets would be exposed.
He knew very well what to say and what not to say. Showing weakness was his strength. Showing weakness now would paralyze the other party and make them feel that he was afraid of death. Only what he said later would make the other party believe him. However, he was extremely uneasy. He didn't know what was wrong with him.
Is there any way that Tao can save himself from these people? He can't guarantee that his mouth can fool him for too long.
Huang Xusheng immediately turned to Xie Chun and said: "Junior brother, take someone there again, don't make any mistakes this time!"
Xie Chun glanced at Yuan Fang speechlessly. Even if what the old man said was true, he had no backbone at all. He would resort to threats. How could Niu Youdao, as a friend, not understand this weakling at all? How could he still be there?
That inn is weird!
But he had no choice. He saw the look his senior brother gave him and understood what his senior brother meant. There were some things he had to do to show off in front of Song Long.
He had no choice but to turn around and greet a few people to leave. Although he did so, he didn't say anything good to Song Long in his heart. His personal enmity is none of our business!
However, due to the relationship between the Song family and his master, it was difficult for him to show any dissatisfaction on the surface...
