Chapter 620 Misunderstanding
“It’s natural.”
This time, the resolute young man named Cang Bei did not hesitate and saluted Xu Yuan solemnly:
“Can you lend me some pen and ink? I’ll give you a survey of where the princess is.”
Mapping?
Xu Yuan hesitated for a moment and asked:
“Yes, yes, but why map it instead of just taking me there.”
Cang Bei raised his eyes and glanced at the sky, but he was not looking at the stars in the vast dark night, but at the large formation below that enveloped the entire town of Zhenxi Fucheng, and whispered:
“Young Master, you sent someone to shout in the evening. I’m afraid it attracted some people’s attention. The defense level in the city has been raised a lot tonight.”
He said,
Cang Bei reached into his arms and took out a dark token with the word "西" engraved on it:
“And this order can only protect one person under the formation.”
It is hard to guard against people's hearts. Only the preset formation will always fulfill its duties.
Xu Yuan stared at the token for a few seconds and suddenly glanced at Zhou Chen.
Seeing this, Zhou Chen quickly took out a similar token from his arms and said with a thick smile:
“Sir, after being transferred to Xifu City in this town, Zhou did some practical things. This is the order.”
"okay."
If you do something without being seen by the superiors, it is the same as not doing it. This week, the Grand Master really wants to make progress.
Xu Yuan smiled and interrupted the other party's request for credit, and looked at Cang Bei beside him.
Although Cangbei is a general in the army, he is well-versed in people's ways. There is a trace of self-deprecating sadness in his eyes, and he whispers:
“What this gentleman is holding is my Xifu Qu General Token. It has great limitations. With the level of city defense tonight, there is a high possibility of being exposed. We cannot take risks.”
The meaning of Cangbei is very obvious.
He followed Zhou Chen here to risk exposure, but he must not bring the danger back to the princess.
Xu Yuan understood in his heart, turned around and walked towards the hall, saying softly:
"Also, during this critical period, any disturbance will attract attention. Come in with me."
The hall was brightly lit and the incense was faint. An elegant girl in palace attire came into view behind the table.
The girl lay lazily on the soft chair, leaning on the armrest with one hand to support her chin, and reading a volume of books in the other.
The temperament is very strong, but the figure cannot be controlled.
Seeing the three people coming in, Tianye moved the book in front of his face slightly downward, revealing his beautiful golden eyes and glanced at a few people, then ignored them and continued reading.
As he walked to the case, Xu Yuan glanced at the enchantress.
The place where the two of them were was was the headquarters of the Black Scale Guards in Zhenxi Mansion. There were a lot of confidential documents in it. Out of boredom, Tian Ye had been reading the files here all afternoon.
She came from 20,000 years ago and needs to understand all aspects of the current era.
Taking out the pen and ink from the Sumeru Ring and putting it on the table, Xu Yuan wrote in a low voice to Cang Bei behind him:
ˆ “.”
The vigorous and resolute march of the army left Cangbei without any nonsense. He picked up the Langhao brush and began to paint on the rice paper.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xu Yuan glanced at Tianye, frowned and said:
“Why don’t you cover up your appearance?”
“Didn’t you notice that these two people can’t see me?”
ˆ “.”
Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows and glanced back at the other two people in the room, only to see that Zhou Chen and Zhou Chen were indeed as Tianye said, and they were not aware of the presence of the fourth person in the room at all.
Tianye chuckled, casually placed the book on the slipper, and chuckled lightly:
"I used the mantra of 'hidden' to cover my breath in advance. I will accompany you to meet Princess Li Junwu later?"
Xu Yuan rolled his eyes, then hummed:
“You should know the power of the city defense formation.”
Without burning his life, no matter how strong Tian Ye is, he will eventually be limited by Tian Yan's cultivation, and the perception module of the city defense formation in an important border town like Zhenxi Fucheng is comparable to a saint.
With the Yushu ring protecting you, it is best not to take risks, but if the witch is obedient, she will not be called a witch.
Thinking in his mind, Xu Yuan sighed:
“But if I tell you not to go, won’t you go?”
Hearing this,
Tianye’s tone was a little dissatisfied, and he hummed twice:
“Tsk, tsk. With the Yushu ring, I can’t look down on others~ I’m a guy who likes the new and hates the old.”
As she spoke, she suddenly bent her eyes and smiled, with a hint of teasing in her tone:
“Besides, you don’t want Tian Yan to see your relationship with the princess, right?”
After saying this, the girl chuckled twice, and without giving Xu Yuan a chance to refute, she picked up the scroll and covered her face.
Xu Yuan wanted to say something else, but Cangbei had already drawn a map.
The moon has few stars and many stars hang high.
Li Junwu's hiding place is not too far away from Xu Yuan's yard. The straight-line distance is only four or five miles. Even if a detour is required due to the checkpoint, it is only seven or eight miles.
At Xu Yuan's normal speed, this was only half a stick of incense, but due to the strict night curfew in Zhenxi Mansion, it took Xu Yuan a full quarter of an hour to reach the inn marked on the map.
The long street is empty, the doors are closed, and the moonlight is shining, like a ghost street.
Standing alone in front of the inn, Xu Yuan raised his eyes to confirm for a moment that the name was correct, then directly used Yuanqi to open the locked wooden door and walked in.
Due to the curfew policy, except for those elegant brothels with big backgrounds, restaurants and inns that entertain guests have to clear their lobbies and force everyone to go back to their rooms when Haishi is approaching.
Looking over it, from Xu Yuan's point of view, the inn where the **** brother lived was really shabby.
This should be an inn for mortal merchants.
The interior layout is somewhat similar to the Tongfu Inn that Xu Yuan saw in his previous life.
Xu Yuan was a little surprised that Li Junwu actually chose to hide in such a place.
Although it is said that the Great Hermit is hidden in the city, it is a world without extraordinary beings. In such a place where mortals gather together, cultivators have no scruples. A strong person can pick you out with just one glance. On the contrary, the places where cultivators gather are relatively safer. Large brothels and residences have soundproof formations to ward off souls. Secondly, there may be secluded iron plates to prevent those people from directly using their souls to detect.
With doubts in his heart, Xu Yuan jumped over the wooden ladder and reached the second floor.
The second floor is not that big. There is a corridor with more than a dozen guest rooms distributed on both sides of the corridor. The lights in some rooms are still on and can be heard through the oil paper taped on the wooden door.
Just as Xu Yuan was about to take a step, a low chant came from the crack in the door of a lighted guest room next to him.
With a strange flash in his eyes, Xu Yuan casually glanced at the guest room stained with oil lamps.
Then,
He saw four or five figures among them through the crack in the door.
Four men and one woman.
Judging from the shirts scattered on the ground, these five people still seemed to respect the woman.
Because women's clothes are made of silk, while men's clothes are made of coarse linen.
"Ah"
Smiling slightly and shaking his head, Xu Yuan glanced briefly and then withdrew his gaze, walking directly towards the guest house that Cang Bei mentioned deep in the corridor.
Mortals who do business basically keep their heads in their belts, not to mention that this is the border of Great Yan, and they may die on the streets one day. Of course, they have to enjoy themselves in time, and secular etiquette cannot restrain them at all.
Having traveled so far, I have become accustomed to strange things.
With these thoughts in mind, Xu Yuan also arrived at the door of a guest room.
The wooden door of this guest room is tightly closed with no cracks, and there is no light coming out of the oil paper on the doors and windows. The guests inside seem to have taken a rest.
With his powerful hearing, Xu Yuan could hear the heartbeats of the guests in the guest room, but he inexplicably sensed a violation.
Thinking for a moment,
In the simple and dark corridor, Xu Yuan glanced sideways at the room next door.
Yes.
The heartbeat in this room is exactly the same as in the room next door.
Synchronized like a one-to-one replica.
Li Junwu’s magic technique?
No wonder this guy lives here, he really has something.
Thinking in his mind, Xu Yuan casually took out a dagger with a blade as thin as a cicada's wing from the Sumeru Ring, inserted it into the concierge, and then pried it up to open the door panel of the inner door.
Pushing open the door and looking at the scene inside, Xu Yuan curled his lips slightly.
Sure enough, unlike the darkness we saw just now, the oil lamp on the table indoors was on, emitting a gleaming firelight.
The interior layout is quite different from what Xu Yuan imagined.
A wooden bed with gauze curtains, two chairs, a wardrobe, an oil lamp and a kettle and porcelain cups resting on the table, simple but complete.
but,
Xu Yuan did not see Li Junwu.
And the moment he stepped into the room,
“Pfft!”
In the silence of the night,
A sword chant resounded in the guest room, but it was still quiet outside. A long sword suddenly broke through the oil paper on the wooden door and stabbed straight towards Xu Yuan's head!
.”Xu Yuan.
In this moment,
A hurricane quietly lifted up Xu Yuan's black hair, which had not been tied up, and the fluorescence on the blade instantly dissipated.
Two fingers jammed the sword that suddenly stabbed out. Xu Yuan glanced at the wooden door behind him with some humor:
“No, we haven’t seen each other for so long, why are you so playful when we meet?”
“Jiayi!”
Li Junwu’s familiar voice sounded: “Do it, we have been deceived, prepare to escape!”
The words fell,
A terrifying desolate aura enveloped Xu Yuan. In this aura, he vaguely saw a pair of wolf eyes flashing with a cold light.
Desert wolf.
.”Xu Yuan.
After a brief daze, Xu Yuan suddenly took a breath of cold air.
It’s broken, and he’s still wearing a human skin mask.
Thoughts flashed through Xu Yuan's mind, and Xu Yuan had no time to think too much.
Tread on the void and kill!
The figure disappeared instantly and reappeared. Xu Yuan had briefly escaped the aura lock from Lin Lang, and the figure also came behind Li Junwu.
Li Junwu seemed to have sensed this, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he turned around and kicked Xu Yuan with a whip leg, with a sound of breaking through the air, and an afterimage was drawn in the air.
A flash of blood flashed in Xu Yuan's eyes, and a deadly blood energy appeared on his palms. He grabbed Li Junwu's ankle and pulled it back forcefully while turning sideways.
In an instant, Li Junwu was unbalanced by the force, staggered forward and fell forward. A pair of naked and slender jade legs directly pulled a horse in the air.
Biting the corner of his lip, Li Junwu looked at the unfamiliar face in front of him, and the hand holding the sword moved directly out, but the man in front of him grabbed his wrist.
Staring closely at the gnashing **** of Yingmei, Xu Yuan’s eyes had a touch of amusement, and he switched to his original voice and said with a smile:
“Sisters, you haven’t seen me for so long and you don’t recognize me anymore?”
