Chapter Thirty-Three: The protagonist has to temporarily retire first
The next morning, the genius was in a daze.
When the city gate just opened, Wang Wu and Ning Que'er had already left the city.
The light rain of yesterday continued until dawn, with puddles still accumulated on the road, and dewdrops were also stained in the grass on both sides.
The air contains a little bit of green smell of plants and trees, which is not as refreshing as the fragrance of flowers, but it is enough to make people feel relaxed and happy.
Wang Wu carried his bamboo stick and walked on both sides of the dirt road in front of the city gate.
At this time, she changed into her own beggar's clothes, because if she had to go on the road alone in the future, she would not bother to take care of Ning Que'er's nagging and take care of some washing up.
The cloth strips on the feet were ragged and the little feet that could not be called out were waded into the water holes on the ground without caring about whether the clothes were stained with soil or people were stained with soil.
It was not until they reached a fork in the road that the two people who were silent all the way stopped at the same time.
"So, let's just leave it for now?" Wang Wu said in a calm tone, and looked at Ning Que'er.
"Yes." Ning Que'er smiled slightly, holding his own sword in his hand and a short knife hanging around his waist.
He planned to go east and take Hu Road to Xiangcheng, where there were staff and arrangements arranged by his master to help him hide his traces and change his identity.
But the premise is that he has to rush to Xiangcheng first, because he went out alone to experience it, so he did not have the means to mobilize immediately.
Poyang is the territory of the Li family, so it is impossible for him to ignore it and let his master's subordinates take the risk of exposure to pick him up.
Fortunately, Poyang and Xiangcheng are not too far away. If he rushes on the way, he can reach it in about two or three days with his light skills.
So Ning Queer also felt that she should be able to disappear without a trace before the forces staring at him reacted.
"Awu, you have been talking less and rushing around these days. If someone asks you something on the way, you say you don't know; if someone mentions me, you say you don't know: If someone studies Poyang deeply, you say you come to meet an old friend named Yu. Don't mention anything else. If it really doesn't work, you can go back to the Beggars' Sect first, just treat it as a hiding for two days..."
Before parting, Ning Que'er still worriedly told Wang Wu some things to pay attention to. If it were put in the past, he might not be able to say so much in a month.
"Okay, I know, my mother-in-law is like a woman."
Perhaps because he was annoying, Wang Wu turned around and waved his hand, then walked towards the west side of the fork in the road without making any sound.
So Ning Que'er could only smile helplessly, and then looked at Wang Wu's back with concern.
Then he calmed down his head and brought a hat with him.
Wearing the man's long gown that Wang Wu changed to disguise him (the one I bought a few days ago), he set out to the east alone.
...
The road in Jiangnan is not difficult to walk, at least it is much smoother than the road in Sichuan and Shu.
However, there are also many mountains on the road from Poyang to Xiangcheng.
It is always a bit difficult to catch up with mountain roads. Not only does it slip when it rains, but it is easy to lose its direction.
In the evening, Ning Que'er, who had been walking along the path outside the official road, finally stopped his light skills.
I settled in a forest, prepared to eat something and take a nap.
He thought he had gone a long way and should not be caught up again.
Moreover, it is not convenient to travel at night, and it will be even more troublesome if you go to the wrong place.
But he didn't notice that in a certain bush behind him, a dark shadow had just faded away.
Sanlin is extremely good at hiding and tracing. He could even keep a good light skill like Five Claws before, let alone a warrior like Ning Queer who has not yet reached the top.
Because of this, Sanlin is also an exception among the Dragon. He is a few secret guards who have never been changed in code names.
This is a warning from the emperor to him, and it is also a kind of limitation. If he is too unscrupulous and has too many secrets to investigate, the name Sanlin will be remembered by everyone in the Dragon, and it will no longer be safe.
Therefore, Sanlin's situation is more difficult than that of ordinary listening to the dragon. It can be said that he is always under the vigilance and fear of others. Only newcomers like Wuzard will be unprepared for him.
But he also knew more secrets than ordinary listening dragons, which was why he knew that there was still "Dragon Horn" observing in the dark this time.
Ning Que'er couldn't escape because Sanlin was following him all the time, and even his behavior of confusing the public and dealing with his footprints seemed a bit ridiculous.
Anyway, when he stops to rest, it is when he is caught up.
"sand."
A flying eagle flew out of the forest, and at night when the sun sets, many people still don’t rest.
...
"Click."
When Ning Que'er finally heard a sound in this quiet mountain, it was in the early morning of the next day.
It was not yet dawn, and there was only a glimmer of light in the sky.
He didn't burn the fire, but just leaned on the tree branch and closed his eyes to rest.
Everything around was silent, so the sound of the branch being trampled seemed extremely harsh to him.
Almost immediately, Ning Que'er held the sword in her arms, and the cold light flashed in her eyes, and the breath was undercurrent.
However, the person who came did not seem to have any intention of hiding it anymore.
Because the next moment, Ning Que'er heard a woman's complaint.
"Drizzle, when will you practice your slimming skills? It's because of you on the road. It's only three hours longer, and you've dragged it to nearly four hours."
In this way, during the day yesterday, Ning Que'er did not forget to clear the clues he stayed in the mountains when he was rushing to the road, but instead delayed his journey.
"I am so big, I am not suitable for practicing light skills." A man with a strong voice responded to the woman's words in a muffled voice.
"Okay, you guys say less and do things first."
In the end, an old man came forward to stop the two from arguing.
The next moment, in the shadow of the tree in front of Yu Ning Quer.
The three figures appeared silently on the three trees opposite him.
The woman held a wide-blade sword, and the man held a thin willow knife.
The old man was hunched over and smiling, but behind him was a ferocious bone-cut hook.
The three of them were full of unconcealed hostility, and waves of internal energy swept across the mountains and forests like waves.
Ning Quer'er's eyes tightened, she stood with her sword drawn, and asked quietly.
"I wonder if you are here, but you are looking for a kid, what's the matter?"
"Haha." The old man chuckled twice under the moonlight and took off the hook on his back.
The wind blew the treetops, and the sharp blade shone with cold light.
"Long sword, short sword, the old man will ask first, the little brother is named Ning Que'er."
Seeing that the other party's murderous intention had appeared, Ning Que'er knew that she could not escape, so she concentrated on her mind.
"It's me."
"Then we didn't find the wrong person." As he said this, the woman standing on the left also drew out her broad sword.
"The young boy is pitiful, we will be more careful."
"Hmph, why do you have to pretend to be kind and righteous in the mountains?" The strong man standing on the right also pulled out the Liu Bian in his hand.
"If we want to slap his hands and feet, he will inevitably suffer."
"Anyway." The old man standing in the middle smiled a little deeper.
"Little brother, don't blame us. We are also using people's money to eliminate disasters for others."
"call."
The moonlight is obscured by the blue clouds.
Immediately afterwards, the long wind tugged at the mountains and forests and echoed.
The tree is not quiet and the wind does not stop.
