Li Fan thought that the vigilance had been relaxed, but he knew that he was wrong.
The Imperial Capital and Hebei were strictly investigating the tiger-headed man. In recent days, they had even imposed a curfew after ten o 'clock!
The tiger-headed man was classified as a terrorist, and the higher-ups had issued a death order. If he was alive, they wanted to see him; if he was dead, they wanted to see his corpse!
Although Li Fan did not care about these police, he was still somewhat worried. Because right now, the main roads in the sky, underground, and even on the water were all blocked.
Everyone who entered or exited the country would be strictly investigated. If Li Fan wanted to leave Hebei, it would be impossible for him to escape.
In the end, Li Fan decided to take the Phoenix King's route.
The Phoenix King's network was all over China. Even in Hebei, he had a hidden route.
As night fell, Li Fan and Jiang Ye were both wearing inconspicuous sportswear. Under the cover of the night, they walked by the river in a small town in Hebei.
On the other side of the river, they could see a group of police patrolling from time to time.
The light of the flashlight shone on the road, constantly sweeping back and forth. The sound of police dogs' barking could be heard one after another.
"Master, do you want to kill them?"
Jiang Ye's voice came into his ears.
"Don't be impulsive."
Li Fan scolded Jiang Ye, "Why are you so ruthless at such a young age?"
"But they want to capture you, Master."
Jiang Ye said, "The one who strikes first gains the upper hand, and the one who strikes later suffers a calamity!"
"They are just following orders. After all, I did kill someone."
Li Fan reminded Jiang Ye, "Everyone has a concept of good and evil in their heart. Although I kill people, I don't kill innocent people. These police officers, they want to capture me, just to uphold the law. If society doesn't have them, how can the common people survive? "
"Master's words make sense, I understand."
Jiang Ye nodded her head. She was almost obedient to Li Fan's words. Whatever Li Fan said was an imperial edict.
"This journey might not be peaceful. We will take the Phoenix King's route. We cannot use our own identities."
Li Fan took out a tiger mask and then a snake mask.
This viper mask was sewn by Li Fan himself. His family wasn't very well off, so he knew a little about needlework. However, the Venomous Snake Mask was a little crude and could barely be worn. Jiang Ye, on the other hand, acted as if he had obtained a treasure, and put away the Viper Mask properly.
"Forget about them. Let's go."
Li Fan took Jiang Ye and directly jumped into the river below them.
The river had just thawed, and there were still white pieces of ice floating in many places.
Jiang Ye followed him and jumped in. The lake water was a little cold, and Jiang Ye shivered slightly.
Li Fan reached out and held Jiang Ye's little hand.
Jiang Ye felt a warm current flowing from his master's hand into his body, causing his body to immediately warm up. It was as if there was a small stove roasting his body.
Jiang Ye's heart also felt warm.
She would never be able to forget that moment. The past Jiang Ye seemed to be living in a dark and boundless hell, cold and filled with despair. However, her master's appearance was like a small sun that shone on Jiang Ye's body, illuminating her entire life and making her feel warm.
Her master was her savior.
Jiang Ye's body had just recovered not long ago, and her true qi was still relatively weak. Therefore, she relied on Li Fan's help to resist the coldness of the lake water in early spring.
"…"
Li Fan stretched out his hand and pointed below. Then, he pulled Jiang Ye and swam towards the waterway below the river.
It looked like an abandoned drainage pipe. Li Fan pulled open the railing above and brought Jiang Ye in.
The deeper they swam, the darker the water became. However, Li Fan's eyes could see in the night, so he was unobstructed inside.
Was there really a Phoenix King's route here?
Jiang Ye could almost not see anything, but she was still curious in her heart. However, her master would definitely not lie to her. Perhaps she would be able to see it after swimming for a while.
Just as Jiang Ye was guessing, a row of small white lights suddenly lit up in the surroundings, illuminating the long drainage pipe.
The water became shallower and shallower. Li Fan and Jiang Ye floated up together and walked to the top of the stairs.
Li Fan used his true qi to dry his and Jiang Ye's clothes at the same time.
"Thank you, Master."
"It's fine. Come in."
Li Fan opened the gate in front of him and directly walked in.
Jiang Ye followed closely behind. After entering, she was surprised.
Surprisingly, there was a track built inside.
"This …"
"This is the route of the Phoenix King. Anyone who wants to see the Phoenix King can take a bus from here and find him."
Li Fan looked at the time, "There will be a bus in about ten minutes."
The Phoenix King's hands and eyes were everywhere. It was unknown how many years he had spent in Huaxia to lay down these underground routes.
Li Fan had heard from Tie Zhu that the Phoenix King was not the name of a single person, but the name of several generations.
Generation after generation of Phoenix Kings formed the legend of Wulin and Huaxia.
The two of them put on their masks and waited for the arrival of the subway.
Both of their appearances were eye-catching. Li Fan could use the Alien Bone Changing Technique to slightly change his appearance, but Jiang Ye couldn't. However, it was different for Jiang Ye. Her face was too similar to Jiang Feng's. Those who were observant would quickly notice her identity.
The two of them pulled up the hoods of their sportswear at the same time to appear more low-key.
Ten minutes later, the subway arrived at the station on time.
There were already a few Jianghu people sitting on the subway. Everyone was busy with their own things, and no one was paying attention to each other.
Jiang Ye carefully observed the people in the carriage. There were a total of six people sitting in the entire carriage. Other than herself and her master, there were four experts.
One of them looked like an escort. He had a square face and a strong body. He was dressed in an escort uniform, with a shield on his back and a saber on his waist.
The escort seemed to be dozing off. He squinted his eyes, crossed his arms, and stuffed his huge body into the chair.
Behind him sat a gloomy old man. It was unknown which sect this old man was from. He was skinny and wore a black and purple robe. His hands were tucked into his sleeves, and he was muttering something.
There was also a tall man standing in the middle of the carriage. He was slightly chubby. He had a bald head and looked amiable, as if he was harmless.
However, at this moment, the chubby man was holding the railing on the roof and doing chin-ups, as if he was training his body.
There was another figure who was curled up at the back of the carriage. He didn't raise his head, so his face couldn't be seen clearly. It seemed like he was dozing off like the escort.
Jiang Ye's gaze fell on her master. Her master was very calm. He sat on the chair with his arms crossed, as if he had entered a meditative state.
Was her master really meditating? In such an unfamiliar place?
No matter what, this was a little too daring.
Jiang Ye saw the chubby man look at her. She immediately lowered her head subconsciously, avoiding his gaze.
