Yuanfang stood guard at the door. After Niu Youdao was asked to leave, he waited at the door.
Niu Youdao came back, and Yuanfang followed him into the house. As soon as the door was closed, he came to Niu Youdao's side and asked, "Master Dao, are you okay?"
Niu Youdao shook his head, but looked at Yuanfang with a somewhat unclear look. He felt a little emotional in his heart. Monkeys are very vigilant and good at detection. If the monkey is around, it will be difficult for the monkey to escape some anomalies of the people around him.
Eyes, this is the difference between Yuanfang and a monkey.
However, he didn't say anything about Yuanfang. Yuanfang still lacks experience in this area. Needless to say, waiting for something to happen will naturally refresh Yuanfang. Next time he encounters a similar thing, Yuanfang will not remain indifferent.
, they will naturally find ways to monitor them, but they must at least maintain due vigilance.
There are some things that cannot be achieved by explaining them clearly. You have to let yourself realize them. This is experience.
After waving his hand to wipe out the lights in the house, Niu Youdao slowly walked to the window, opened the window, and looked at the dim lights of the ancient city with his hands behind his hands, his expression calm and unruffled.
There is actually someone around me who is secretly hooking up with the Liuxian Sect. There is no need to guess what they are plotting.
I'm afraid it's not a betrayal. We've only known each other for a short time, and we haven't started on the same path yet. It's hard to say that they're betraying you. Maybe they're each their own master!
However, he was thinking about a question, Black Peony, could he have misjudged it?
After a little troubleshooting, he was basically certain that he was discovered by the Liuxian Sect only after he arrived at Star Reaching City. If he had been discovered earlier, he might not have been allowed to come to Star Reaching City and would have taken action on the road.
So there are only two possibilities for Black Mudan's side and Liuxian Sect being sneaky. Either it was a trap set by Liuxian Sect and they deliberately let Black Mudan and others get close to them and fooled themselves, or they found Black Mudan's side afterwards.
After arriving at Star Reaching City, he went straight to Yao Yue Inn and immediately discovered Black Mudan and others waiting eagerly outside the inn. It was unlikely that Liu Xian Sect had planned it in advance. In this way, Liu Xian Sect set up a plan
The possibility that the trap deliberately allowed Black Mudan and others to approach him can be ruled out, so the only possibility left is the latter.
After clarifying his thoughts in his mind, Niu Youdao said lightly, "Light the lamp."
Yuanfang, who was immersed in the darkness, saw that Niu Youdao was worried, so he didn't bother him. After hearing the words, he said "Oh" and the lights in the room turned on again.
Niu Youdao reached out and closed the window, then turned around and said, "Bring me the map and take a look."
Yuanfang immediately took out the map from the package, spread it out on the table, and lit it with a lamp.
Niu Youdao walked to the table and found the location of Star Reaching City in the Kingdom of Zhao. He looked along the established route in the northeast to South Korea. After a pause, his eyes moved down from the southeast direction of Star Reaching City.
It fell in Qingshan County within the territory of Yan State.
Then, he put his finger on the map and walked along the route, moving it back and forth again and again. On the only way to this route, he stopped at a place called Shanhu County, and his finger was on
After a few gentle knocks, Shanhu County seemed to have made up his mind.
"Old Xiong, ask some of them to come over." Niu Youdao stared at the map and said.
Yuanfang put down the oil lamp and just turned around, Niu Youdao added, "Don't talk useless nonsense, just let them come over."
"Yes!" Yuanfang left quickly, muttering in his mind, wondering what he wanted to do.
When Yuan Fang came outside, he directly knocked on Black Mudan's door. Without going in, he greeted Black Mudan at the door, "Call your people. The Taoist Master will let you in."
Black Peony asked strangely: "What's the matter?"
Yuanfang: "I don't know." He turned around and went back.
Black Mudan had no choice but to comply, and soon called out Duan Hu, Wu Sanliang and Lei Zongkang.
Knowing that Niu Youdao was looking for them, Lei Zongkang couldn't help but ask, "Boss, why are you looking for us so late?"
"I don't know." Black Peony shook her head.
Several people came to Niu Youdao's door and knocked on the door. Yuanfang opened the door and let several people in.
When several people entered, they saw Niu Youdao standing in front of the map beside the table and gathered around him. Black Mudan glanced at Niu Youdao's face and said with a smile: "Master Dao, what are your orders?"
Niu Youdao looked around at the few people and sighed: "I just remembered one thing. After you were with me this time, the noise seemed to be a bit louder. A group of people stared at you when you entered and exited the inn. I was worried that I would be caught when I left.
People with evil intentions will be targeted."
Lei Zongkang's heart tightened when he heard this. The others looked at each other and nodded slightly. This is true and completely possible.
Black Mudan tried to ask: "Master Dao, what do you mean?"
Niu Youdao: "To be on the safe side, I am going to make a slight change in my departure plan. Let's go separately! In order to avoid being spotted, everyone is not allowed to go to the surrounding horse farms. We should leave on foot and leave secretly in any direction."
Black Peony nodded in agreement. In fact, this is also the way many monks leave Star Reaching City. There are large mountains around them. They escape into the mountains and use the cover of the terrain to leave quietly. If they are disguised, they will be like a drop in the ocean, and it will be difficult for outsiders to detect them.
, unless a large number of people are mobilized to circle around, it will be difficult for outsiders to know which way the person slipped away.
Niu Youdao: "It's too eye-catching to go together. Tomorrow you will use the river to leave secretly. Yuanfang and I will stay for a few more days and we will choose an opportunity to leave secretly depending on the situation."
The so-called rivers are rivers formed in the mountains by the melted snow water in the mountains. Many monks escape into the river first when they leave Star Reaching City, dive to a certain location, and then escape into the vast mountains. It is difficult for outsiders to discover it.
.
Several people looked at each other, Black Mudan frowned and said: "Master Tao, if this is the case, how can we meet again?"
Niu Youdao pointed his finger on the map and clicked, "Shanhu County, let's meet at the largest inn in Shanhu County."
Several people stretched their heads and looked at it, remembering it. Black Peony nodded: "Okay!"
Niu Youdao: "That's it. It's settled. You have to go on a journey tomorrow, so go to bed early."
Several people then resigned.
After a few people left, Niu Youdao asked Yuanfang to pack up the map. He took the sword in his hand, drew the sword in his hand, looked at the blade repeatedly, took a piece of white silk, and sat in front of the lamp slowly.
Wiping slowly, he whispered in his mouth: "Jianghu..."
Several people left the room here and gathered together in Black Peony's room to discuss their departure, and then everyone went back to their own rooms to rest.
After tea time, Lei Zongkang went back to his room and sat quietly for a while, then quietly opened the door and left the room, looked around, and left quickly.
He went downstairs, walked through the forest garden, and came to the upstairs opposite. He opened the door directly and entered Cui Yuan's room without knocking.
Cui Yuan had just come back not long ago, and he was thinking of going to see Lei Zongkang later. Unexpectedly, Lei Zongkang took the initiative to come to the door again, so he was a little surprised. When they met, he immediately asked: "Has the situation changed?"
Lei Zongkang nodded, "Master Cui is wise, the situation has indeed changed. Niu Youdao has changed his plan to leave and is preparing to leave in batches..." He revealed all the plans Niu Youdao had just laid out.
Cui Yuan muttered: "This guy is really careful."
Lei Zongkang: "Master Cui, we have to leave first tomorrow. We can't be with him. I'm afraid we won't be able to report him in time if something happens, and we won't be able to figure out his route."
"Leaving secretly is an expected option, it's not surprising! So I brought this thing." Cui Yuan sneered, took out a sachet and handed it to him, "You should keep this thing with you for later use."
Lei Zongkang took it in his hand and opened it. He saw a bag of small yellow grains the size of soybeans inside, wrapped in a thin layer of wax. He asked in shock: "What is this?"
Cui Yuan: "After the wax is broken, it will emit a strange fragrance, which will make it easier for me to trace your traces. If you wait for the opportunity to place it on the road, I will have my own way to trace it."
Lei Zongkang asked strangely: "The guy and I acted separately, and the meeting place was also set in Shanhu County. Why is Mr. Cui still pursuing my traces?"
Cui Yuan: "What if he changes his plan and doesn't meet us in Shanhu County? Can you still get married on the way? It's not convenient for you to contact us at any time while traveling. This animal has repeatedly escaped pursuit, which shows its cunning
, you have to be careful, you should take this thing with you to be prepared!"
Lei Zongkang understood and nodded.
Cui Yuan suddenly smiled and patted his shoulder, "My uncle has already sent a summons to the sect and is trying his best to obtain a recommendation and guarantee for you."
Lei Zongkang didn't know if the other party was trying to deceive him. How could the Liuxian Sect care about the affairs of a few of them? If they didn't help them, they wouldn't dare to let it go. So he actually didn't have much hope in this matter.
, he just hopes to help this place get out of trouble. If Liuxian Sect is really kind-hearted, it can only be regarded as an unexpected surprise.
To him, things were obvious. From the moment Liuxian Sect approached him, he had no choice. The consequences of not agreeing could be imagined. Can Liuxian Sect let him go? Can they let them go?
But he still had to pretend to be happy, and said with cupped hands: "Don't worry, Mr. Cui, Lei will definitely live up to your expectations!"
"Okay! Go back quickly to avoid any accidents." Cui Yuan looked kind.
After the two separated, Lei Zongkang quietly returned to his room, and Cui Yuan then left Yaoyue Inn...
On the top floor of the inn, the old dog appeared and knocked on the shopkeeper's door again.
Bai Yulou did not take a rest. Instead, he set up an abacus, flipped through his account books, and settled accounts under the lamp.
He was pretending to be worried about something and was not at ease, so he didn't rest. Why did he accept other people's money? He should be more concerned about what they told him.
The old dog stepped aside and reported: "Shopkeeper, Lei Zongkang sneaked into Cui Yuan's room again and met him. After they separated, Cui Yuan went back to Liuxian Sect's shop."
Bai Yulou hummed, "I understand."
After the old dog left, the crackling sound of abacus stopped. Bai Yulou leaned on the back of his chair and muttered, "He really guessed it. His prediction was pretty accurate. What the hell..."
He stretched, stood up and left the room, slowly walking to the front desk of the inn with his hands behind his back.
Seeing him coming, the waiter who was sitting on the table stood up and said: "Shopkeeper, it's so late and you haven't rested yet."
Bai Yulou said calmly: "Let's settle the accounts for a while and come out for a walk. Is everything okay here?"
The waiter said: "It's okay, it's okay."
Bai Yulou knocked on the counter with his hand, "I just met the guest in Room Yizi, please send me some wine."
"Okay, I'll send it over now." The waiter nodded in agreement.
