The fat man couldn't argue with Nan Feng, but he wasn't convinced either. He groaned and couldn't argue.
Nanfeng waved to the fat man, "Let's go, I'll go into the city with you and treat you to a drink."
Although the fat man didn't agree with Nanfeng's approach, he couldn't resist the temptation of wine and meat, so he changed his clothes, locked the door, and followed Nanfeng.
This is a small border town, and the Xiangyun Escort Agency is the largest political force here. Such a big change has happened to the Escort Agency, and it is all the talk in the streets and alleys.
Although most of the villagers talked about it, there were few rumors. The reason was very simple. Tianshanzi did not hide his whereabouts and went to the Xiangyun Escort Bureau openly. Since he went very early, the escorts did not leave the Escort Agency, leaving him completely blocked. , kill every one left.
Tian Shanzi did not explain the reason for the attack, but left half of his waistband that had been burned by the fire before leaving.
The styles of Taoist robes worn by various sects in the Three Qing dynasties are different, so everyone in the village knows that this incident was done by Zhenren Ziqi of the Taiqing sect.
The two found a restaurant to sit down. Since it was not time for dinner, there were few diners in the restaurant, and there were only two tables including them. It was autumn at this time, and there were many products in the mountains and rivers. Nanfeng asked for a fresh fish. I ate a few vegetables and sat across from the fat man to drink.
The other table was also talking about this matter. The fat man had only heard a general idea before and ran back to report the news. Only then did he realize that Tianshanzi had not concealed anything when he killed someone, "Why didn't he cover his face?"
"Why is he covering his face?" Nanfeng asked.
The fat man was stopped by Nanfeng's question. He stretched his neck and wanted to speak, but he didn't know how to answer.
Nanfeng put down his wine glass and whispered, "That man is a master of purple energy and has profound magic. Even if he is alone, he has few opponents. What's more, there are dozens of masters of purple energy like him in Taiqing Sect. He is full of confidence. No worries.”
The fat man suddenly understood after hearing this, but he still didn't understand what Tianshanzi did. "It's true that you have no scruples, but it's always bad to be so ostentatious."
Nan Feng waved his hand and said, "What do you know? No one is stupid who can advance to the Purple Qi. He thinks more than us and knows very well what is most beneficial. His move is intended to kill chickens and scare monkeys, and to frighten everyone." , If you hide your head and show your tail, you will lose your momentum and prestige."
"It makes sense," the fat man poured wine for Nanfeng, "but that man was too harsh. Alas, I pity those orphans and widows."
"If you think they are pitiful, you can go and ask a few women to be your wives." Nanfeng said with a smile.
"Unkind, unkind." The fat man tilted his head and looked at the other diners at the table. Seeing that the other diners were talking to themselves and not listening to what they were saying, he asked in a low voice, "This happened because of you, so you have nothing to blame yourself for." Guilty?"
"They brought it upon themselves, and it's not me who made trouble for nothing. Why should I blame myself? Why should I feel guilty?" Nan Feng shook his head and said. It was true that he framed her, but the Xiangyun Escort Agency was not a charitable sect. In addition, it was Tianshanzi who killed the people, and Tianshanzi did not leave any chickens or dogs alone, which is already very good.
"Alas," the fat man shook his head and muttered the Buddha's name, "Amitabha."
"He bullied me, and I retaliate against him. How come such a simple thing becomes so complicated and complicated when it comes to you? Do you expect me to be like you and refuse to retaliate?" Nan Feng frowned. That day When Tianqizi learned that Lin Zhendong had insulted Tian Yuanzi, who had lost his eyesight, he was so angry that he wanted to rush to Jiangbei to punish the remaining members of Qinglongmen. Everyone has his own style and principles of behavior. As long as loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and justice are good, there is no need to follow others' rules for other matters. moral standard.
Seeing Nanfeng's irritable tone, the fat man waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, come on, come on, have a drink."
The fat man's unreasonable entanglement made Nanfeng feel a little frustrated. How could such a young boy become so coy, reserved and entangled after being a monk for a year
Feeling unhappy, he lost interest in drinking. After a few drinks, Nanfeng stood up to pay the bill. The two left the wine shop and returned to the shabby house.
The fat man had had enough sleep in the morning, and now he became interested. He sat cross-legged on the Western Kang, took out his scriptures, chanted sutras and recited the Buddha's name.
"How can you recite sutras after drinking alcohol?" Nanfeng shook his head helplessly. Fatty couldn't meditate when he recited sutras, so he had to get up and go out to chop wood outside the house.
While working, Nanfeng secretly calculated that Shanzi did not bring any baggage when he came that day, which meant that he was not prepared to go out for a long time. After handling the affairs here, he would return to Taiqing Sect soon. Although this person did not attack him, But he knew that he and Fatty lived here, and for safety reasons, it was better to leave here.
But even if you want to leave, you can't go on the road immediately. Tianshanzi may still be nearby at this time and has not set off to return. You have to wait until he is gone before leaving.
The other party used a beauty trap to drag the fat man here before. Now that the two Taoist nuns are dead and the fat man has no ties, it is normal for the two of them to leave here. Even if the other party finds out that the two have left here afterwards, it will There is no doubt that they are trying to avoid trouble.
After thinking about it carefully, Nanfeng made up his mind to stay here for two more nights and leave here two days later to continue on the road. There is only a river between this place and the Liang Kingdom. It is very convenient for the Taiqing Sect to monitor and observe. Leave here and go as far as possible.
Since they had had wine in the afternoon, the two of them did not make dinner. After dark, they lay down separately and rarely talked, so they went to bed early.
The next day, the two got up very late. After Nanfeng woke up, he went to the county seat alone and walked around the mule and horse market in the county seat.
On the way back, I met Fatty. He didn't say hello to Fatty when he left. Fatty was worried and looked for him.
"What are you doing here? It's hard for me to find you." The fat man said in a complaining tone.
"We walked around casually, bought some thin noodles and baked some pancakes to eat." Nan Feng showed the pocket in his hand to the fat man.
"I understand. You are right. Those people from the Xiangyun Escort Bureau deserved their death." The fat man took the bag from Nanfeng's hand and carried it himself.
Nan Feng smiled and did not answer. Fatty's evil intentions couldn't be hidden from him, but in fact, Fatty didn't understand at all. These remarks were just to ease the relationship. There was no need to hurt the brothers' feelings because of outsiders.
Back at the shabby house, the two of them started busy. Nanfeng poured most of the flour in his pocket into the wooden basin. Upon seeing this, the fat man hurried over to stop him, "It's too much, I can't finish it."
But the flour has been mixed with water, so there can't be anything left. Then the fat man was responsible for kneading the dough and baking it, and Nanfeng was responsible for lighting the fire. They were busy all afternoon and baked more than ten kilograms of dough cakes.
Fatty didn't know what Nanfeng's plan was, and Nanfeng didn't tell him that this was a great opportunity to completely get rid of the other party's surveillance. Tianshanzi was a master of purple energy, and Tianshanzi didn't bother to do such trivial things as monitoring him and Fatty. The most likely possibility is that Tianshanzi will send others over after he returns, and then plan to get closer.
Before the other party sends someone over, he must go as far as possible. If the other party finds out that he and Fatty are gone, they will definitely search everywhere.
The other party will delimit a rough search range based on the situation of the two people and the time they left. According to the moving speed of the two people, they can only travel sixty or seventy miles a day, and the other party may search from a hundred miles away.
If they can jump out of the other party's search range before the other party notices their departure and demarcates the search range, it will be really safe.
There was nothing to say all night. The next day, Nanfeng prepared two water jars and went out to cut a few bundles of fodder. In the evening, he went to the county seat and rushed back the carriage.
Lest the other party see the ruts, he did not rush the carriage to the house, but tied it to the roadside, ran back to the shabby house, called the fat man, took the things and headed for the main road.
"What happened? Why did you just leave?" The fat man carried bedding on his back and a water jar.
"I can't explain a sentence or two." Nanfeng also carried bedding and four bundles of fodder, two bundles on the left and right in his hands.
When I got to the roadside, I unloaded many things and loaded them into the cart. The south wind shook the reins and drove the horses forward.
"Where did the carriage come from?" The fat man was very excited. He thought he would escape on foot, but he didn't expect to take a car. Taking a car was much more comfortable than walking.
"Bought." Nanfeng said. He already had gold and silver on his body, and he had found some from the nunnery earlier, so he had enough money.
Horses are different from mules. Although horses are not as strong as mules, they are suitable for long-distance running. However, mules do not need to be fed with concentrates, and horses have to be fed with concentrates. Nanfeng has been a coachman before, so he naturally understands this. The thin noodles of the previous pancakes remain. Some of it is used to drink from the horses, and fodder is also prepared for the horses.
Nan Feng could see at night and drove his carriage all night. He understood the habits of the horses. He would stop to drink the horses every two hours and wipe the sweat of the horses with linen cloth. Although the horses were livestock, they were very humane. Knowing that precious fine grains were added to the drinking water, I could also feel the new owner's care for it. After it hit the road again, it worked harder and ran extremely fast.
Nanfeng concentrated on controlling the direction, but it only made the fat man miserable. The road was uneven and the carriage was very bumpy when traveling at a fast speed. The fat man was shaken all over and complained endlessly.
The two passed through two towns overnight. After dawn, they drove the carriage into the forest, untied the horses and came down to rest and drink.
After a short rest, they hit the road again. By the time the sun set, the two of them had traveled more than three hundred miles.
It must have been safe at this time, but Nanfeng did not dare to relax and continued on his way.
At the second watch, Nanfeng suddenly noticed a person standing in the middle of the road ahead. Due to the distance, he could not see his face clearly. He could only see that the person was wearing white clothes and had a graceful figure. He thought he was a woman...
