"Aren't we going back to Yongling? Why are we coming to Bing Province? "
The carriage slowly drove into Bing Province. The driver was Yan Li, and the one asking questions was Shen Liuyun.
It had been six days since Yan Chaoyang left. Five days ago, Yan Li was seriously injured and could not even drive the carriage. Shen Liuyun had to personally do this kind of menial work that she had never done before.
Along the way, every time they arrived at a town, they would disguise themselves again, acting as if they were treading on thin ice.
"I have a bad feeling." Yan Li was disguised as an old man in his sixties. He had a white beard, and his black hair was dyed white. His hair was tied up with a scarf, and he wore coarse clothes and straw sandals. Coupled with the calluses on his hands, he looked like an old coachman who had been driving for years.
"What feeling?" Shen Liuyun was disguised as a man. Her pretty face was painted, but she was still quite beautiful.
Yan Li said, "This rescue mission has made me a Yanshan Robber. Especially my 'reputation', it has also caused the imperial court to lose face. There will definitely be many people who 'worship' me. If they 'line the streets to welcome' me, I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it. It's safer to change to Bing Province. "
Shen Liuyun could not help but laugh. "Are you a pig? Who asked you to be so impulsive? Don't you usually plan before you act? Wait, don't tell me you like Lil Tang? That's true. She's quite pretty, and her personality is very likable. It would be great if she's not a foreigner. You can ask her to be your wife. "
"It's not what you think." Yan Li also smiled. "She's not bad, but this woman is ruthless and scheming. It will be very tiring to be her husband."
Shen Liuyun was slightly annoyed. "You're so young. How can you be so sophisticated? Young people should have the vigor of young people. I think Lil Tang is not bad. She's lively and playful. She does whatever she wants. You should learn from her."
"Just a few days ago, you kept saying that she was a spy of the Mutated Tribe. Why are you speaking up for her now?" Yan Li asked in surprise.
Shen Liuyun said, "I haven't changed my opinion. You also said that she's a schemer. I'm just telling you the truth. Regardless of my identity, I really like this little girl. It's a pity that we're not on the same side. "
"Those who know how to use Gu are not necessarily barbarians," Yan Li said meaningfully.
At this time, the number of pedestrians on the official road gradually increased, accompanied by many carriages and horses. Not long after, the outline of a town could be seen in the distance.
Yan Li looked at the sky and said, "Let's rest here for the night. Tomorrow, we'll change to another car and change to Yongling."
This was a small city called Songyang, located at the junction of Bing and Yu Prefectures. The population was not particularly large, but it was still around a hundred thousand.
Yan Li drove the car to the city gate. After Ji Tiansheng ascended to the throne, he added an iron law to the city's defenses: no matter if it was a high-ranking official or a commoner, no one was allowed to collect fees.
However, Yan Li was stopped.
Not only Yan Li, everyone who entered and exited the city was strictly interrogated.
"Where did you come from, where are you going, who is in the carriage, what are you doing, tell me everything honestly!" A guard asked loudly.
Yan Li cupped his hands: "Good instructor knows, this old man came from Jing Prefecture, inside the carriage is my young master, he wants to visit a friend at Qing Ya Market."
There was a wanted poster in the man's hand. He walked past Yan Li, opened the carriage curtain, and compared it with the wanted poster in his hand. Then, he put down the curtain and gave way: "Go in, go in, quickly."
His movements were very fast, Yan Li didn't see the wanted poster clearly, but he had a bad premonition in his heart.
"What happened?" Shen Liuyun asked.
"I don't know." Yan Li shook his head and smiled bitterly, "But I feel that it's related to me."
Not long after walking along the main road, he suddenly stopped his horse and looked at the crowd on his right.
"What's wrong?" Shen Liuyun felt that something was wrong, so she opened the curtain and looked out. She saw a bunch of people huddled together, pointing at a wall and discussing.
She swept a glance forward and said, "In front is the government office, this should be the notice wall."
The eyesight of a cultivator was extraordinary, she didn't associate it with Yan Li at first, but when she looked carefully, she was immediately shocked, "Little Fan, the person drawn on it is you, right?"
There was indeed a person drawn on the notice wall, but the ink was too thick, so she could only tell from the face's outline; Yan Li's face looked like it was carved by a top-notch craftsman, the outline was clear, it was very rare, so it wasn't hard to recognize.
"That's true, but it's too ugly." Yan Li's face was full of disdain, "If I find out who drew it, I will definitely settle the score with him."
Shen Liuyun took a closer look, and saw the words written on it: Yan Li, a student of the Inner Yard of the Academy, first killed an official of the imperial court, first released a spy of the Alien Tribe, and then used an evil method to rape a teacher. The Emperor was furious, his evil deeds are outrageous, and today he will be punished with treason. Anyone who reports this thief will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of silver; anyone who captures this thief will be rewarded with a hundred thousand taels of silver; anyone who takes his head will be rewarded with a hundred thousand taels of gold!
"Go!" The horse carriage started moving again.
Yan Li sneered, "The arrest warrant should have reached Jingzhou and Yangzhou a long time ago. Fortunately, we changed our route, otherwise we wouldn't have these few days of leisure."
"Qu Youfeng, that bastard!" Shen Liuyun was so angry that her whole body was trembling.
"I already knew that he would do anything, this is also within my expectations." Yan Li said, "The road back to Yongling will be very difficult, you must be mentally prepared."
"I was softhearted for a moment, I implicated you …" Shen Liuyun said sadly.
"We are in a mutually implicating relationship." Yan Li turned his head and grinned at her.
Shen Liuyun was startled, and couldn't help but laugh, "You are quite fast."
The place that Yan Li chose to stay was called "North South Inn". The name was ordinary, and the size was also very ordinary. After the horse carriage was properly arranged, he asked for two adjacent rooms and ordered some food.
Shen Liuyun only drank some water and didn't eat.
Yan Li also didn't eat much. In fact, every time he swallowed, it was very uncomfortable. However, his body needed nutrients, and not eating was not good for healing.
After eating, he subconsciously wanted to tease him a little, but suddenly closed his mouth.
Shen Liuyun said thoughtfully, "The reason why you don't want to call me, is it because those hooligan words from before made you feel embarrassed?"
Yan Li said a little awkwardly, "Not entirely."
Shen Liuyun said happily, "I taught you, so you still know shame. Also, you know that I hate lechers the most, but you still deliberately acted like this. Although your intention was good, I am still very angry. Alright, hurry up and lie down. "
If it was in the past, Yan Li would definitely tease him a little, but at this moment, he could only bear it and lie down obediently.
Shen Liuyun sat on the edge of the bed, stretched out her slender jade hand, and placed it on Yan Li's chest. She closed her eyes slightly, and a green light emitted from her jade hand, and entered Yan Li's chest.
"Every time I see it, I feel that it is both magical and strange." Yan Li could feel something penetrating into his body. Not only was it not uncomfortable, but there was also a feeling of being caressed by Drifting Cloud, it was cool and comfortable.
"Magical is fine, but what about strange?" Shen Liuyun said with her eyes closed.
"What if you get addicted to it, and run to fight for your life?"
Shen Liuyun scolded angrily, "Idiot, didn't I tell you that I can't do anything about your injury?"
"Then why do I feel that there are signs of improvement?"
"It's just an illusion." Shen Liuyun shook her head, "The general principle of cultivation of our Longxiang Mountain is the 'Wonderful Spirit True Pivot', which is known as' Seven Pivots of Spirit Control 'to the outside world. My current realm is only the second realm,' Spirit Control ', and I can only roughly understand the condition of the injury. At least, I need to reach the third realm,' Spirit Control ', with the assistance of silver needles, to be able to send the power of God into your body to treat your injury. Nowadays, only my master can do it."
"Why have I never heard of such a person? Is he an expert on the Asura List? "
"No, I can't tell you his identity. You stay here and rest, I'll go get some medicine. "
"Again!" Yan Li's face immediately wrinkled, and he said bitterly, "Can you get less …"
"No!" Shen Liuyun's face turned serious, and she said sternly, "Your injury has reached the point where it can't be delayed any longer. You must take medicine as soon as possible, otherwise, it will damage your foundation."
She paused, and her tone softened, "If you don't drink the medicine, you may not be able to stand up now. Be good, I'll be back soon."
Shen Liuyun asked the shop assistant, and there weren't many medicine shops in Songyang City, and the nearest one was near the city gate.
She had started to identify medicinal herbs since the beginning of her cultivation, and she didn't even need to write down a prescription. After entering the medicine shop, she directly reported the name of the medicinal herbs she needed. After getting the medicine, she didn't stay outside and immediately returned to the inn.
Just after she left, it was time to close the city gate. The guard let in a few people who were in a hurry, and was about to close the gate when he heard the sound of hooves.
He looked into the distance and saw about a hundred riders galloping toward him, their armor clanking. His heart couldn't help but tighten, and he subconsciously wanted to close the gate.
"Guard officer, open the gate for me!"
The guard heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that it was the Guard Department and opened the door.
As the hundred riders approached, he saw that there were two people at the front. One of them was the one who had shouted earlier, and from his attire, he seemed to be a general. The other was a young man, and from his attire, one could tell that he was either rich or noble, and he was handsome, giving people a good impression.
"Thank you, big brother, for opening the gate. Otherwise, we would have to spend the night outside the city." The young man dismounted from his horse. His face looked travel-worn, but he still had a faint smile on his face.
The guard was flattered and said, "I don't dare, I don't dare!"
The general coldly said, "Li Yixiu, why are you wasting words with a guard? So what if the gate is closed? With me, Wang Yuanlang, here, would he dare not open the gate?" After saying this, he led the way into the city, not even looking at the guard.
The guard was naturally unhappy, but he didn't dare to act out.
The young man apologetically said, "No matter what, I still have to thank you."
"Please come in, the city gate is about to close. If you're late, you'll be scolded by the magistrate."
The young man walked on with his horse. After the guard closed the gate, he smiled and said, "It's like this, I'm Li Yixiu, and I've been ordered to pursue the criminal. Ah, it's the wanted person in your hands."
The guard turned pale with fright. "This evil thief has escaped to Songyang City?"
The young man smiled and said, "I can't be sure, but there are clues that the criminal is seriously injured. I don't know how many medicine stores there are in the city. Can you take me to have a look?"
The guard had a good impression of him, so he immediately said, "There's no need to trouble yourself. There are only two medicine stores in the city. I'll just have my brothers make a trip." After saying this, he called his subordinates over and gave them some instructions.
Not long after, one of his subordinates returned and reported, "Boss, the owner of Dexian Medicine Store said that someone came to buy medicine just now. There was quite a lot of medicine for both external and internal injuries."
"Quickly take me there!" The young man's eyes lit up.
The group arrived at Dexian Medicine Store. The shopkeeper was already waiting for them. When he saw the young man, he knew that he was an important person from the Holy Capital. He didn't dare to be negligent and quickly told the young man what had happened.
After listening, the guard was surprised and said, "I think I've seen the person you mentioned before. He was sitting in a horse carriage, and the driver was a little old man."
The young man pondered for a moment and said, "I'll have to trouble Big Brother to help me find out where those two people are staying."
"This is my duty!" The guard immediately mobilized his men and left.
At this time, the general angrily rode over on his horse and said, "Is your method really going to work? Don't make a mistake and make a big mistake. "
The young man said, "It's still better than blindly searching. At most, it's just an apology."
"Hmph, I really don't understand you. With your status, do you need to deal with these lowly people? As long as you give an order, just kill whoever doesn't obey. There will always be obedient people who will stand up and work for you. "
The young man only smiled faintly and said, "In a game, a small mistake in a small detail can often lead to a complete loss. Don't underestimate the power of a local tyrant. "
