Chapter 302: Yang County, where doors are left unlocked at night, and the legend of the 'Yaksha
Li Mu gritted his teeth, bravely waved his hand, and took the incoming sword energy.
Then, Zhang Hanrui, with murderous eyes, appeared in front of Li Mu.
"I can explain..."
Li Mu's eyes twitched, and then he saw that the murderous intent in Zhang Hanrui's eyes disappeared, and was instead full of ambiguity.
He gradually approached Li Mu, flicked his fingertips, and said with a breath:
"This is... you haven't succeeded yet? How about Sister avoid it first?"
Li Mu couldn't help but shudder, glanced at Zhang Hanrui unhappily, and disappeared on the spot.
"Sister...sister, is it you?"
In the tent, Xu Youzhi asked in a sad voice with a little sobbing.
"Youzhi, how do you feel?"
Hearing the voice, Zhang Hanrui strode to the side, lit the oil lamp first, then slowly walked to the bedside, looked at Xu Youzhi who wrapped herself like a dumpling and asked.
"I... I'm fine. I found him as soon as he entered the room. Luckily, my sister arrived in time."
Xu Youzhi's eyes were a little evasive, and there was a slight unnatural blush on her pale face.
"I'm glad you're alright. Rest for a while. We'll set out at dawn."
Zhang Hanrui held Xu Youzhi's shoulders, let her lie back, and comforted her softly.
"elder sister!"
Seeing that Zhang Hanrui was about to leave, Xu Youzhi stretched out her smooth arm from under the quilt and grabbed the hem of Zhang Hanrui's dress.
At this time, Li Ling'er, holding a silver spear, rushed into the tent and asked:
"Youzhi, I just heard you scream, what happened?"
"It's okay, just a little slut..."
"Dream, I have a nightmare, I have a nightmare."
Seeing Zhang Hanrui was about to speak, Xu Youzhi quickly interrupted her with a hint of guilt on her face.
"It's good that everything is alright. No one else can get into trouble."
Li Ling'er forced a smile on her face, as if trying to hide her sadness.
Zhang Hanrui stood up, walked to Li Linger, rubbed her head, and comforted her softly:
"Don't worry, my brother-in-law will be fine."
Li Ling'er nodded, tightly grasped the silver spear in her hand, turned around and walked out of the tent:
"Then you guys take a rest, it's almost dawn, I'll go get ready and we'll set off at daybreak."
"Ling'er..."
Seeing this, Xu Youzhi called out, but Li Ling'er just turned around and smiled at her, then left the tent.
Xu Youzhi bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth, her eyes wandering, no one knew what she was thinking.
Then I heard Zhang Hanrui say:
"Don't worry about her. It's good to have something to do."
Although he said this, he couldn't hide the worry in his eyes.
Ever since she heard the news that Prince Yan was missing, Li Ling'er had neither eaten nor slept, and only wanted to rush to Donglai Pass.
If Zhang Hanrui hadn't known some methods of helping people fall asleep, Li Linger's body would have collapsed long ago.
...
Outside the tent, Li Mu, who wanted to hear whether he had been exposed, heard it all carefully.
"The old man is in danger, otherwise Ling'er wouldn't be like this..."
Then Li Mu frowned when he thought of Xu Youzhi's deliberate concealment.
He wasn't sure whether Xu Youzhi valued her reputation and didn't want this to get out, or whether she recognized him...
“That shouldn’t be the case…”
Thinking of this in his mind, Li Mu planned to leave first and then follow the team secretly.
If this were to happen, it would be too much of a coincidence...
After all, there are not so many masters in this world who can escape from Zhang Hanrui now.
At this time, Xu Youzhi's soft voice came from the tent:
"Sister...did you let that person go on purpose?"
Hearing this, Li Mu said inwardly, as expected, as the successor that Zhang Hanrui found for him, he must have at least eight hundred tricks up his sleeve.
Li Mu immediately pricked up his ears, wanting to hear how Zhang Hanrui would respond.
In the account.
There was no sign of surprise on Zhang Hanrui's face. When she looked at Xu Youzhi, there was a smile on her lips.
When Xu Youzhi saw this expression, she knew what Zhang Hanrui meant. After thinking for a while, she asked:
"Then, that person is here to look for my sister."
"Why, are you blaming me?" Zhang Hanrui showed dissatisfaction on her face, stretched out her hand to lift Xu Youzhi's quilt, and said with a smile,
"Sister, look and see if you have suffered any loss."
"Sister~" Xu Youzhi blushed, grabbed the quilt tightly, and begged for mercy.
Zhang Hanrui took the opportunity to tuck in the corner of Xu Youzhi's quilt, with a guilty tone in her voice:
"This is all a misunderstanding. If you feel you've been wronged, I'll catch that guy and make him take responsibility for you."
"No, no need!" Hearing this, Xu Youzhi quickly opened her mouth, a flash of panic in her eyes, and hurriedly explained,
"I didn't suffer any loss. He, he found out that I wasn't her sister. He didn't do anything."
Then, Zhang Hanrui raised her eyebrows, as if trying to hold back a laugh, and whispered to herself:
"That's right. Look at the way it looks. Don't hold it in."
He immediately stood up and prepared to walk out of the tent, saying:
"Don't think too much. I'll go see Ling'er."
Outside the account.
When Li Mu heard that Zhang Hanrui was about to leave, he lightly scratched the ground with his toes and leaped into the forest.
Zhang Hanrui walked out of the tent, glanced at the arrow sign on the ground, spat lightly, and disappeared from the spot in a flash.
...
In a blink of an eye, two days passed.
Li Ling'er led the team and stationed outside Yang County.
The county magistrate of Yang County personally came to greet her. Li Ling'er, who didn't want to go into the city, couldn't resist Xu Youzhi's constant nagging and went into the city anyway.
But he still refused the welcoming banquet hosted by the magistrate of Yang County.
I just strolled around the city with Xu Youzhi.
"Once the convoy is resupplied, we will set off!"
Li Linger looked at Xu Youzhi helplessly and said in a serious tone.
Xu Youzhi nodded vigorously, and pulled Li Ling'er to find a crowded place.
Finally, we found a very lively restaurant and sat down.
"My sister said that in places like Jianghu where all the good and bad people mix, the news is the most well-informed. Let's rest here for a while, maybe there will be a surprise!"
Xu Youzhi pulled Li Linger and found a corner to sit down, saying.
However, with the looks of these two people, it is obvious that they will never be at peace wherever they go.
Although most people seemed to be deterred when they saw the silver spear behind Li Ling'er.
But as long as the forest is big enough, there will be all kinds of birds that are not afraid of death.
Li Ling'er and Xu Youzhi had just sat down.
Then two men dressed as martial artists walked towards their table.
One of the men, who had a big beard, slapped the table and said with a stammer:
"Two, two girls, I am known as the Jade-faced Young Master in the martial arts world. I would like to get to know you two. No, I don't know..."
Before she finished speaking, the spear behind Li Ling'er pointed directly at the handsome man with a big beard, and she said angrily:
"roll!"
The drinkers around were looking at this side strangely.
At the same time, several soldiers rushed in from outside the house, picked up the handsome man with a jade face and dragged him out of the restaurant.
The magistrate of Yang County ran into the restaurant, glared at the bearded man in exasperation, then looked at Li Ling'er with a flattering look and said:
"Your Highness, are you frightened? This person is definitely not from Yang County. Everyone in the surrounding area knows that ever since His Highness the Crown Prince went out to travel and passed by Yang County, people in Yang County have left their doors unlocked at night..."
"Alright! I understand what County Magistrate Gou meant. There must be some misunderstanding about this matter."
Li Linger waved her hands impatiently.
At this time, the storyteller in the restaurant slammed the gavel and began to tell the story of "Yaksha Hero Couple".
The protagonist of the story is naturally Li Mu.
But the other person turned out to be a Yourong female hero, Xu Doudou, who also liked to stand up for the weak.
Listening to the storyteller's spit flying, Li Ling'er looked at Xu Youzhi unhappily and asked:
"You pulled me here just for this?"
Xu Youzhi blinked her big eyes, as if she felt a little aggrieved. She hugged Li Linger's arm, leaned her head on her shoulder, and said coquettishly:
"I thought you would be happier when you heard the news about your brother."
Unexpectedly, Li Ling'er slammed the spear on the table and said angrily:
"He, he should have received the letter long ago, but he didn't even react at all. Even if it wasn't my father, it wasn't..."
"But I remember that in Ling'er's letter, it was told that my brother should ask His Majesty for help, and he was not allowed to come!"
Xu Youzhi looked up at Li Linger.
As their eyes met, Li Ling'er was obviously a little hesitant, then she turned her head away and said stubbornly:
"I, I mean he didn't even write back, who, who wants to see him!"
