As soon as she entered the post station, Bai Aoxue and her followers heard a harsh voice.
Not to mention whether the prey they said was them or not, they said it so blatantly. Were they not afraid of getting into trouble?
Bai Aoxue gave the talking man a silent look and saw a few people sitting on the wooden table opposite. The talking man looked relatively coarse and crazy, and the hostility between his eyebrows and eyes showed his character as well.
A woman whose body proportion was perfect nestled next to him. The woman was not as conservative as those women in Chengxi Dynasty. Her dress was a little exposed, and her whole body seemed to stick to the man.
There was also a man who looked like a scholar, but the cunning in his eyes, which flashed across, made it clear that this man was not simple at all.
“Uncle Kong… It’s not easy to make a living for me… Can you…” A middle-aged man with the appearance of a shopkeeper stood humbly beside the man and said with his head lowered carefully.
The man called Uncle Kong gave the shopkeeper a peremptory look and spoke again after a few minutes of silence, “Leave away from me… Deadbeat, I haven’t said anything yet! Hurry to do your business! Otherwise, after those guests run away after a while, you will cry your heart out!”
After saying the words, he waved his hand distractedly as if the shopkeeper was a fly which let him avoid vigorously.
Hearing this, the shopkeeper immediately smiled and looked at the man hastily. He said, “Thank you, Uncle Kong! Thank you, Uncle Kong!”
“Deadbeat… My brother, Kong Wei, gave you some advantages this time. Don’t forget my brother, Kong Wei!” As soon as the shopkeeper wanted to turn his head, he heard the charming female voice, which made him feel limp and numb all over.
Turning around flatteringly, the shopkeeper looked at Kong Wei as well as his followers and said, “I dare not to forget it.”
Bai Aoxue looked at this group of people with such a blatant talk. She obviously did not put them in the eyes and couldn’t help raising the corners of her mouth with some interest.
It seemed that this place was really a mixture of good and evil people. There were all kinds of people.
The shopkeeper finally finished his flattering words and came to Bai Aoxue and her followers.
“Dear guests… Come in, please.” With a flattering face, the shopkeeper looked at Bai Aoxue wearing a bamboo hat with a veil and said.
Of course, because Bai Aoxue was wearing a bamboo hat, the shrewd shopkeeper did not see the flash of light in Bai Aoxue’s eyes.
“Shopkeeper, prepare some good rooms for us.” When Nalan Youhong saw this, he immediately stepped forward and said. He was better at socializing than anyone else among this group of people.
Of course, he did all the socializing before. He didn’t know why the shopkeeper unexpectedly spoke directly to Bai Aoxue today.
As soon as the shopkeeper saw Nalan Youhong talking to him, he gave up continuing to pester Bai Aoxue.
“Miss! Miss! We’ve packed everything up!” The charming and flirtatious voice came from outside the door.
The voice also attracted the attention of the public. Bai Aoxue turned to look at several people including Mumian and said lightly, “Nalan will take you there later. Have a rest early.”
Several people, including Mumian, nodded and did not ask more.
Bai Aoxue turned her head to look at several people, including Mumian. She missed the widened eyes and the thoughtful expressions of several people, including Kong Wei, when they saw Mumian and Hongxiu at this moment.
But Jun Yeyan caught all of these things.
“Dear guests, come in quickly… Please!” The shopkeeper happily welcomed people in, letting the waiter take them to go upstairs.
“By the way, shopkeeper. Get some side dishes.” Nalan Youhong seemed to think of something. He stopped at the first step of the spiral staircase and said while looking at the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper nodded hastily, not daring to make a slight.
Bai Aoxue and Jun Yeyan followed Nalan Youhong and others to go upstairs slowly.
Of course, Chidian swaggered and followed them behind. At this moment, Chidian was just like a big docile dog, without any fierce strength.
Chidian in such a disguise always made people think that it was a big dog, not an extraordinarily ferocious wolf on the grassland!
Jun Yeyan and Bai Aoxue voluntarily entered a room. They looked at each other, but they were not eager to talk.
“I’m a little tired and need some rest. You remember to wake me up for dinner later.” Bai Aoxue pretended to be sleepy and sat on the bed. She looked at Jun Yeyan blearily and said.
Jun Yeyan nodded and walked to Bai Aoxue’s side. He stretched out her slender hand and gently removed Bai Aoxue’s bamboo hat.
“Take a rest! After today’s long journey, you must be tired. After a while, I’ll ask a waiter to burn some hot water for you. It will be more comfortable to take a bath.” Jun Yeyan rubbed Bai Aoxue’s shoulders and said softly. There was not a trace of cruel indifference in front of others.
Bai Aoxue looked sideways at Jun Yeyan with a smile and patted Jun Yeyan’s hands. She took off her shoes and slept with clothes.
Jun Yeyan gathered up the quilt corner for Bai Aoxue and leaned against the edge of the bed to watch her.
It was getting dark. The room was even darker as there were a few bright lights in the room.
After a long time, only Jun Yeyan and Bai Aoxue stayed in the room. After hearing their smooth and slow breath, a dark shadow flashed by outside the room quickly and disappeared completely.
At the moment when the dark shadow disappeared, Bai Aoxue and Jun Yeyan opened their eyes at the same time. They simultaneously looked at each other and smiled at each other.
It was not until a very long time that Bai Aoxue and Jun Yeyan began to talk in succession when they were sure that there was no one outside.
“He is gone.” Bai Aoxue blinked at Jun Yeyan and said slowly.
“I know. Zhao might have followed up.” Jun Yeyan folded his hands and leaned smartly against the edge of the bed, looking at Bai Aoxue with a faint smile.
After listening to the words of Jun Yeyan, Bai Aoxue was relieved a lot. As long as Zhao followed up, there would be no mistake.
When they entered the room just now, they found someone following them in the dark. They did not find him out. Instead, they just pretended to know nothing and then caught “the turtle in a jar”!
However, the person who was peeping outside found that Bai Aoxue and Jun Yeyan did not speak but fell asleep. He did not quietly leave until he confirmed again.
But he didn’t find that he was already peeped and followed by someone else!
Zhao followed the man in black and shuttled in the seemingly simple but mysterious courier station.
After a short while, Zhao saw the person in black enter a small and inconspicuous door, observing from left to right and making sure that no one followed him. Only then did he feel at ease to close the door.
But Zhao had already followed the man into the small door.
When coming in, Zhao found that there was something unbelievable inside the door!
The man in black walked cautiously, but instead of walking straight, he took a few steps to the left and then a few steps to the right.
And Zhao also knew that there must be some tricks in this secret passage. Although he did not know about these hidden weapons and arrays, he had seen Jun Yeyan arrange them.
Following in the footsteps of the man, he was also very careful and remembered the terrain under his feet every time.
Seeing some slight lights ahead, Zhao had to hide himself.
Looking at the back of the man in black without a delay, he also carefully hid his breath.
Under such a circumstance, if he was found, he could not guarantee that Master and others would not be affected even if he could fight his way out. Thinking like this, Zhao’s heart became more determined. He could only succeed and not fail!
When the man walked out of the secret passage, he looked back and confirmed it again before leaving safely.
After a long time, Zhao also walked out of the secret passage and was shocked to the extreme!
It turned out that the secret passage of this post station was tightly linked with the back mountain which they had to walk through when they went to Nanyue Dynasty!
Zhao carefully observed the surroundings and found that the grass on his left was somewhat irregular and messy. It was obviously factitious.
Zhao walked over and uncovered the grass. Surely enough, he saw some footprints. According to the softness of the soil, Zhao knew that these footprints were caused by the man when he stepped on the soil just now.
Although he got out of the secret passage, he could not guarantee that there were no hidden weapons or arrays. Zhao could only follow in the footsteps of the man and stepped one by one.
Zhao’s pace was getting faster and faster, and he saw the figure of the man in black from a distance.
And Zhao also cleverly shielded himself by the towering tree beside him.
Following the man to the mountain villa which was unique in the mountain, Zhao stopped and saw that the man in black walked into the mountain villa after saluting to the guard at the door.
This time, Zhao did not follow the man into the mountain villa. Not to mention the strength of the people in the mountain villa, there were some arrays in the secret passage, so there must be some arrays in the mountain villa as well. If he entered rashly like this, maybe everything would fall short!
Thinking like this, Zhao took a deep look at the mountain villa with the plaque of “Mountain Qing” hanging and turned to leave quickly.
On this side, Bai Aoxue and Jun Yeyan waited for Zhao to come back, but there was no sign of him after a long time. They all knew in their hearts that perhaps this post station was not as simple as it seemed to be.
In general, Zhao should have finished tracking, but today, he was late coming back. This was the first time!
“Yan, may I come in?” Nalan Youhong’s gentle and elegant voice sounded outside the door, accompanied by a knock at the door.
Bai Aoxue thought it was Zhao. After listening carefully, she found it was Nalan Youhong, so she was not in the mood.
“Come in.” Jun Yeyan looked at Bai Aoxue like this and couldn’t help raising the corners of his lips. Although Zhao hadn’t come back yet at this time, he still didn’t worry. After all, no one knew better than him about Zhao’s ability!
As soon as Nalan Youhong entered the door, he saw Bai Aoxue and Jun Yeyan sitting at the table together, thinking in different ways.
“Just now, I asked several people, including Leng Sha, to go outside and find out some information about those three people.” Nalan Youhong did not beat around the bush. He came in and showed his purpose directly.
“How?” Jun Yeyan looked at Nalan Youhong and asked lightly, not particularly interested.
Nalan Youhong looked at Bai Aoxue and found that Bai Aoxue was even bleary and dazed with her unassuming phoenix-like eyes.
Repressing his anger in his mind, Nalan Youhong pretended to be serious and said with a straight face, “They are the local bullies who often plunder and rob in front of Mountain Qing. They are notorious enemies of the villa of Mountain Qing!”
While Jun Yeyan heard Nalan Youhong say this, he raised his eyes slightly and said, “Mountain Qing? Is it the mountain villa that often robs families and kills innocent people at random?”
Nalan Youhong nodded and said in a deep voice, “Mountain Qing is an organization. In the imperial court, several officials are willing to eradicate it, but Jun Wuhen chooses to ignore it!”
Bai Aoxue listened with some interest. She looked up at Nalan Youhong and said, “Where is the villa of Mountain Qing? Does anyone know it?”
Nalan Youhong thought for a little. Then he shook his head again and said, “Why do Kong Wei and his followers rob in front of Mountain Qing? It is because they don’t know where the villa of Mountain Qing is. They can only rob in front of Mountain Qing. But if they enter Mountain Qing, they will be killed if they want to rob.”
“Many people know the villa of Mountain Qing, but no one knows where the real location of it is.” Jun Yeyan gently disabused Bai Aoxue.
“I remember…”
