Tianfeng Xunxun, Wuxin, who was riding on the bird, gradually lowered his flying height and flew towards a mountain forest below.
His cultivation level is limited, and in fact, there is no cultivation level at all.
His body was not suitable for cultivation. His master taught him a simple way to move Qi according to his physical condition. Practicing for a long time may have some effect, but there will be no achievements.
Using Niu Youdao's theory, it is a simple set of Qigong.
Therefore, his cultivation level cannot allow him to fly in the air for a long time. Even if he is to control a flying mount, he does not have certain magic defense capabilities, and the wind will not bear it for a long time.
Although not long after leaving Jinzhou Fucheng, he changed from standing to sitting astride a bird, but he still had to take a rest on the way.
Above the mountain forest, it hovered slightly at low altitude and landed beside a mountain stream. The man jumped down from the bird.
I took off the bamboo basket and placed it by the stream. I picked up some firewood and lit a fire. Then I went to the stream to wash my face, came back, took some food and drink from the bamboo basket, and sat down. Warm yourself up by the fire, it's a bit cold after being blown in the air for a long time.
As the body gradually warmed up, a figure swished past in the mountain col ahead. A woman in a panic came in a panic. It seemed that because she saw the person by the stream with a flying mount, she immediately landed on the edge and cried out for help. : "Sir, please save me. Someone wants to force me to marry. Please save me, my lord."
Wu Xin looked at this woman quietly. She was a young woman, quite pretty, and she looked embarrassed and anxious.
Seeing that he didn't respond, the woman looked in the direction she was coming from. She seemed a little anxious. She quickly glanced around and hid in a pile of weeds nearby.
Just a moment after she hid, two more men jumped up from the other side of the mountain, holding swords in their hands, as if they were searching along the way.
Seeing Wu Xin by the stream, the two of them flashed over, and one of them asked: "Friend, did you see where a woman went just now?"
He didn't answer without any intention, he just sat there and continued to bite the dry food in his hand slowly, with a calm look on his face.
The man seemed a little angry, "Didn't you hear what I asked you?"
Wu Xin raised his eyes and looked at the two of them.
"Yeah!" A person next to him suddenly pulled him and motioned to the bird mount next to him.
The angry man's expression changed, as if he had realized something. How could a person who could use a giant bird as a mount be an ordinary person
Another person hugged Wu Xin and said with an embarrassed smile: "Don't get me wrong, my friend. Important things were stolen by a female thief before. My brother is also anxious. Don't take it personally, my friend. The things we lost are really important. I just want to ask. Friends, have you seen where the female thief went?"
Wuxin remained silent and continued to slowly bite the dry food in his hand.
The two stopped talking, looking at each other's flying mount. After all, they felt that they couldn't afford it, so they pulled off their sleeves, flew away, and continued searching.
The stream was gurgling, and there were occasional birds chirping in the tranquil mountains. I accidentally picked up branches on the ground and threw them into the fire.
The people hiding in the weeds still dare not move.
After waiting for a while, Wu Xin finished eating the dry food in his hand, picked up a few branches and threw them into the fire. Finally, he slowly said, "Come out, people should leave."
There was a rustle among the weeds for a while, and the embarrassed woman finally emerged slowly, looking around from time to time, still looking frightened.
After confirming that everything was fine, she walked to Wu Xin and saluted gratefully: "Thank you so much, my benefactor."
Wuxin glanced at it and asked, "Did you steal their things?"
The woman immediately said with shame and anger: "Young master, don't listen to their nonsense. What can they steal? Those two people just now are my sworn brothers, and we are both casual cultivators. They recently fawned over a person with some power in the cultivating world. , who knew that man fell in love with me, and the two of them asked me to marry that man, but when I refused, they forced me to do so. I took the opportunity to escape, but they chased me all the way here."
"I used to have a master. The master died. I was wandering alone in the spiritual world with nowhere to turn. When I met them, I thought they were pretty good people. I thought I had met someone I could trust, so I became sworn friends with them. Brother and sister, who would have thought that they are two beasts with a human face and an animal heart, and they actually want to use me in exchange for their wealth, and they even say that it is for my own good. If you don't believe me, you can go and ask."
After that, the woman took out a gold coin and put it timidly on the stone next to Wu Xin. She said with a little embarrassment: "Thank you, Master, for not pointing out my hiding place just now, otherwise I would not have been able to escape. I...I really am too." I am short of money and have nothing to repay. I don't want to despise my benefactor for a little kindness. The little girl has written down the appearance of her benefactor. She has no ability to promise anything. If she can escape this disaster, she will repay generously if she has the opportunity in the future. Farewell! "
He bowed, raised his sleeves to wipe his embarrassed face, turned around and left.
Wuxin, who had listened quietly, suddenly spoke up again: "What is your cultivation level?"
The woman stopped and turned around, "Ashamed, it's Qi refining period."
Wu Xin: "They are still looking for you in the mountains, aren't you afraid of falling into their hands again?"
"Don't worry, young master, you can hide if you can. If you can't hide, you will die. You will never let yourself fall into their hands, and you won't suffer the humiliation even if you die. Young master, I will repay you for your kindness!" The woman cupped her hands and left again. Turn around.
Wuxin: "Come with me."
"Uh..." The woman turned around and looked at him with a wary look on her face.
Wuxin: "I'll give you a ride and leave here so you can escape." He pointed to his flying mount.
After a while, the bird took off again, carrying a man and a woman...
Under the eaves, Niu Youdao stood with a pestle and a sword. Guan Fangyi came from another room and handed him a secret letter.
Niu Youdao took it in his hand and looked at it with no expression on his face. He turned his fingers and the secret letter burned, turning into pieces of ashes and scattering.
Guan Fangyi stared at him, shaking her head and smiling bitterly as if with emotion.
Snapping his fingers, the piece of paper floated away with the remaining flames. Niu Youdao blew his fingers and asked, "How is the situation at Liufang Pavilion?"
Guan Fangyi said: "There has been some movement and people are leaving one after another."
It is difficult for a group of distinguished guests at Liufang Pavilion to say goodbye one after another. As the saying goes, there must be a reason for everything to happen.
We have already heard rumors of being held hostage. Whether it is true or false, once Jinzhou is cornered by Zhao, what will happen to the hostages in Jinzhou's hands? Naturally, he avoided it for a while. Before they broke up, Jinzhou didn't dare to act rashly and left quickly.
Those who originally said they were waiting to drink the full moon wine didn't see whether Hai Ruyue was cured or not, so they all found reasons to leave.
In the Liufang Pavilion, as soon as Zhao Sen came out of his yard with someone, he was stopped by Gao Shaoming who came in a hurry.
Gao Shaoming invited him aside and asked in a low voice: "Is your order leaving now?"
Zhao Sen glanced at him sideways, he was joking, of course he had to leave. Once he was detained, once Zhao Guo started to attack Jinzhou, everyone else might be fine, but he was the most likely to be unable to escape. Naturally, he would not say this. He said calmly: "There is something going on in the capital, and I have to rush back to deal with it."
Gao Shaoming: "What should Niu Youdao do?"
Zhao Sen: "Don't worry, someone will contact you. There is no smoke without fire. I advise you to avoid it for the time being."
After seeing Zhao Sen off, Gao Shaoming returned to his yard. When he saw a guard, he asked, "Is Xu Gao not back yet?"
The guard shook his head and frowned: "I haven't come back since I went out last night, and I don't know where I went. I'm worried that something happened, otherwise it's impossible not to see anyone and not reply. If anything happens, I will definitely report a letter. "
Gao Shaoming: "What can happen in this city? Who dares to take action here easily?"
The guard said: "What if the governor's office takes action?"
Gao Shaoming pointed at him and said a little helplessly: "If you want to move him, you won't move him. It's better to move me than to move him. What's the point of moving him? The governor's office won't look for such trouble. Let's go look for it today. If you can't find him again, just leave him alone and leave tomorrow morning."
"Yes!" The guard nodded in agreement, and then organized people to search again.
At the north city gate, Song envoy Tu Huaiyu and his party were swaying on horseback. When they arrived at the city gate, they saw a slight commotion at the city gate. A group of sergeants surrounded one person, which hindered the entry and exit of people to a certain extent.
Seeing something unusual, a group of monks immediately increased their vigilance and strengthened their protection of Tu Huaiyu.
Tu Huaiyu reined in his horse and said, "Go and see what's going on."
One man jumped off his horse and went over to inquire.
He came back later to report, "Master Tu is a disciple of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect. When he was leaving the city, his mount accidentally hit someone and they were arguing."
The Gate of Ten Thousand Beasts? This is a major sect in the Song Kingdom. Tu Huaiyu couldn't help frowning and said: "A disciple of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, if you bump into someone, you should pay what you deserve. If you can't afford to pay, what should you do? As for a dispute?"
The man said: "The problem is that the disciple of Wanshou Sect said that the other party bumped into him intentionally. He couldn't hold back his breath, so he revealed his identity. Unexpectedly, the person he bumped into was a servant of a certain general's family in the city. City Gate The guards all stand on the side of the servants, which is a bit like a strong dragon but not a local snake."
Tu Huaiyu: "Whoever is familiar with the people of Wanshou Sect should confirm their identity. If they are really disciples of Wanshou Sect, it is not a big deal to use my name card for help."
For ordinary people, bumping into someone might be a big deal, but for someone like him, it's really nothing. Even if he gets hit and killed, it's just a matter of spending some money. Otherwise, what else would he want
Someone immediately jumped off his horse and walked over quickly.
The person who left quickly came back and said to Tu Huaiyu quickly: "I have met this man in our capital. He is indeed a disciple of Wanshou Sect, and he has a good background. He is the grandson of Chao Jing, the elder of Wanshou Sect. I forgot his name. .”
Tu Huaiyu said oh, a little surprised. He didn't expect to meet Chao Jing's grandson, and immediately waved his hand, signaling for him to hurry over and solve the problem properly.
It was confirmed that the man was indeed from the Ten Thousand Beasts Gate, and the city gate defenders were a little afraid to provoke him. In addition, this side came forward and took the initiative to pay the money, so the matter was over.
The people blocking the city gate were quickly evacuated by the defenders, and those who left also brought back a man holding a horse, who was Chao Shenghuai.
