"Let's go and find a place to talk."
Seeing Li Yan's serious eyes, Sha LiFei quickly pulled the two of them into the city, turned left and right, and arrived at an inconspicuous inn.
This inn is not a Jianghu hotel, so most of the guests are businessmen, and the environment is considered elegant.
Sha LiFei led the two people into the room. After checking that there was no one in the corridor, he closed the door tightly, sat down and sighed, "Lu San, although this brother is a boring gourd, he is a first-class hero!"
As he said that, he gave a thumbs up.
Li Yan frowned and said, "Did the news leak out?"
Sha LiFei said in a deep voice, "I also inquired in many ways and found out that after we left, this kid returned to Wu Family Gully, left his name, and took responsibility for the murder and arson."
"We asked News Gathering Pavilion for information. Although they are restricted by Jianghu Rules, they will not talk nonsense, but after all, they have exposed the truth. Lu San has completely taken us out."
"This brother is worth keeping!"
Li Yan was silent for a moment, "What's the situation now?"
Sha LiFei whispered, "After all, so many people have died. Chang'an has sent out National Arrest Warrant with a generous bounty, which has attracted many swordsmen and has rushed towards Shang Prefecture."
"Munchuan Pass Cao Gang doesn't dare to protect them anymore. They declare to the outside world that Lu San is just worshiping and what they do has nothing to do with them. They have cleared the relationship..."
Li Yan frowned, "Where is Lu San?"
Sha LiFei was speechless, "Of course he ran away and disappeared. Qiao Sanhu's people from Fengyang searched everywhere but couldn't find him."
"There are rumors in the world that he has left Shaanzhou and went to Ezhou to take refuge overnight."
"It's okay to run away."
Li Yan breathed a sigh of relief and sighed slightly.
To be honest, he can be regarded as a regular guest in the world now. Most of the people he meets are righteous and righteous, but they are secretly trying to do things like dogs and dogs. There are also many people who do things to their friends for their own benefit.
Recalling Black Wind Gully's childlike smile when Lu San faced the fox, Li Yan somehow felt uncomfortable in his heart.
"Forget it, it's useless to think about this."
Sha LiFei saw Li Yan's ugly face and slapped the table directly, "Don't worry, I will always pay attention to the trends in the world."
"Brother Lu If brother is caught, we will rob the prison car and the execution ground to save people. If he dies, we will avenge him!"
"Old Sha I'm putting my words here, don't stop me!"
Although he was also touched, what he said was more to reassure Li Yan, fearing that he would get entangled in this and turn around and do something stupid again.
Li Yan glanced at it and said, "It's okay, I know what's going on."
Now that the matter has come to this, there is no point in thinking about it. Just do whatever you want to do in the future. If you find an opportunity, help Lu San escape the crime.
He could already think of how unwilling the young man was when he left his hometown...
Thinking of this, Li Yan asked again, "Where are Old MengTou and them?"
"Don't worry."
Sha LiFei smiled and said, "There just happened to be an opportunity. There was a wealthy businessman in Shangluo transporting goods to Chang'an. I used some means to get Old MengTou and them in. The time and witnesses are available. This matter has nothing to do with them."
"That's fine."
Li Yan nodded and said, "After one night's rest, we will leave Shangluo and go to Tai Bai Mountain!"
Sha LiFei smiled and said, "If there is anything you need to prepare, just tell me and I will go and take care of it."
Li Yan thought for a moment, "Just get some clean clothes."
Wang Dao Xuan also stood up and said, "It just so happens that Pindao's Daoist robe is torn and in disgrace. Tai Bai Mountain There are so many people who come to Xuanmen, so we can't let others laugh at us."
Sha LiFei rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "Let me tell you two, we have really suffered a lot in this journey. I heard that Shangluo City has a nice bathhouse where you can listen to music and take a bath. Why don't we go and have fun later?"
Wang Dao Xuan was a little moved after hearing this, "Is it expensive?"
"What Master Dao said..." Sha LiFei raised his eyebrows, "It must be expensive, but why wouldn't you go if it's too expensive?"
Wang Dao Xuan replied honestly, "Go!"
Sha LiFei laughed, "That's fine."
After that, he took Wang Dao Xuan and left quickly.
After they left, the room suddenly became quiet.
Li Yan smiled dumbly, then looked at his left hand, pulled up his sleeve, and saw a leather wristband tied to his wrist with straps on it. With a slight flick, the short knife would pop out and fall into his hand.
When traveling in the world, always have a backup plan when you go out.
This Sleeve Blade was left by his father.
Although it is already somewhat famous, the trick is here.
His father said that Sleeve Blade never takes action easily.
If others know that you have this trick, they will be on guard when you use it, and when you make another move, there will be loopholes in your mentality.
And every time you take action, it must be a critical moment.
To put it bluntly, it is a kind of psychological deterrence. It is not really powerful and can only rely on surprising people.
This is the real secret of Sleeve Blade.
Therefore, Li Yan is rarely used on weekdays.
What he really looked at was the mark on the palm of his left hand.
At this moment, he could feel a mass of cold air flowing in his palm, swimming along the lines of the hook talisman.
This is Divine Ability: Soul Hooking Chain from Yinsi.
In the world Divine Ability, all the six sense organs of mouth, eyes, ears, nose, body and mind are used to condense. Most of them are used for sensing. I didn't expect that there is this Yin Divine Ability that can be used to attack.
Of course, this Divine Ability power is also incomprehensible to ordinary people.
Unless someone uses Yin Yang Eyes or Qi Observation Eye Mystical Power, an invisible chain can be seen.
The biggest effect of this Divine Ability is to enchant the soul.
If it were stronger, it could entangle and crush the soul.
It can also have a destructive effect on magic weapons.
Thinking of this, Li Yan was inspired to move.
Crash... There seemed to be the sound of chains ringing in my ears, and at the same time, a cold Yin Energy emerged from the palm of my hand, condensing and not dissipating, waving like a snake.
Li Yan smiled.
Based on his current behavior, Soul Hooking Chain can only stretch out one foot, which looks like a threat.
But if you use Sleeve Blade to cover it up,
Then, he has a frightening Soul Severing Blade!
Shangluo City, also known as "Shangluo", was first built in Qin Dynasty.
This county is surrounded by mountains and is bordered by water on three sides. It can be said that the feng shui is excellent, but this also limits the scale of the city.
Three main streets vertically and horizontally divide the entire city. The area is not large, but as the core of the Shang Prefecture area, it is still extremely prosperous.
Most of those who can buy a mansion in the city have some wealth, but the really poor people all live in the villages near Shangluo City.
Because of this, the whole town looks very clean.
The custom of bathing has been around since ancient times. Song Era It has become popular among the people. Many cities have built "public bathhouses" where ordinary people can pay a few dollars to take a bath and enjoy back rub services.
Many literati like to take baths, especially Layman Su Dongpo. Not only did he like taking baths, he also had high requirements for bath masters. In "Ru Meng Ling·How can scale be accepted by each other", he wrote:
How can scale and dirt be tolerated by each other? When you look carefully, there is nothing there. When you send a message and wipe people's backs, you have toiled all day long and waved your elbow. Hands are light, hands are light, and the layman is originally free from dirt.
The general idea is that Layman Su Dongpo met a heavy-handed master in a public bath in Sizhou and complained: Oh, master, I have to spend all day waving and moving your elbows. Be gentle, be gentle. I don't have much dirt on my body.
Of course, even now, bathhouses are divided into three, six or nine levels.
"Luotang Bathhouse" is the most luxurious bathhouse in the city. Not only does it have an elegant environment, but after taking a bath, you can also drink wine, taste tea, and listen to a girl sing a ditty.
"Hey, girl, be careful..."
In the mist, Wang Dao Xuan was also complaining.
The "soup bath" is luxurious, and all the people taking the bath are women. They use gentle hands and feet, and the massage is repeated, and the emphasis is on moisturizing everything silently.
However, the three of them had been traveling all the way, and they just felt that their bodies were not clean. Wang Dao Xuan naturally felt that this "soup bath" was fooling people.
The girl taking a bath also felt angry.
Well, our "hot spring bath" is a luxurious place, not to mention that there is no one who comes and goes. I don't know what happened today. These three rough guys came here. They were covered in dirt and their hands were sore from rubbing them. They were still not satisfied.
Thinking of this, the girl whispered, "If your guest is not satisfied, I will help you find someone else."
As he said that, he also winked at the sister next to him,
The person giving Sha LiFei a bath immediately nodded and left.
Only the one next to Li Yan lowered his head and pretended not to notice.
Soon, two tall and muscular women came in, rolled up their sleeves, and rubbed Wang Dao Xuan and Sha LiFei until they screamed.
"Master Dao, what are you talking about?"
"Hahaha..."
After leaving the bathroom, Sha LiFei was still complaining, which made Li Yan laugh out loud.
Fortunately, after washing up, the three of them felt refreshed, changed into their casual robes, and leaned on the Wing Room soft couch near the pool.
Soon, a waiter brought wine and food.
In the center of the pool opposite, there is a water pavilion stage.
However, in a place like this, of course, one cannot shout the powerful Old Qin Opera, but sing Shangluo Taoist Opera. It was originally a rap tune by Daoists in the Tang Dynasty, and was later spread among the people. It has its own characteristics in various places.
The song on the stage was "Da Luo Heaven", which talked about Lu Zu and Purple Yang Twin Immortals descending to earth and enlightening Chong Mozi to become immortals. However, Chong Mozi is full of wine, sex and wealth, and is very difficult to deal with...
The night breeze was slightly chilly, and the three of them ate wine and food and listened to small songs, feeling that all the fatigue from this period of time was gone.
"I'll go take a look."
Sha LiFei is restless and got upset while listening to music, so he turned around and opened the door to go out, wanting to see what other new things there were in this "soup bath".
But as soon as he opened the door, he quickly shrank his head and closed the door, tutting, "What a coincidence, I saw an acquaintance."
Wang Dao Xuan said curiously, "Who is it?"
Sha LiFei whispered, "That guard of the Lu family Feng Ping."
Li Yan said thoughtfully, "The Lu family is a big family in Shangluo. It's not unusual to meet them here. We have other things to do, so don't pay attention to them."
Sha LiFei nodded, simply lay down on the soft couch, drank a few glasses of wine, and soon started snoring loudly...
"Feng Ping, what's wrong?"
A tall young man asked.
"Sir, we met a familiar face." Feng Ping said respectfully, "He gave us a place to take shelter from the rain on the way, but he was just a wanderer, so there is no need to pay attention to him."
"Humph, I just said don't come to this place."
Next to the young man, there was a young man who was obviously not too young. He was dressed gorgeously, had bags under his eyes, and looked like he had been drinking too much.
"Tangyu" is luxurious everywhere, but in his eyes, it is full of disgust. He muttered, "This kind of place is only for servants. How can I, the young master, take a look at Chang'an..."
The two young men were the second sons of Lu Kang.
Lu Kang Although he had a prosperous official career, he was an infatuated person. He loved his married wife very much and never took any concubines in his life.
His two sons, the eldest one is named Lu Xiao Wen, because they followed him up the career ladder and did not discipline him strictly, they became Chang'an City's famous playboy.
The younger one's name is Lu XiaoWu. The couple had a son in their later years, but after receiving the lessons from Lu Xiao Wen, they took it very seriously and asked famous teachers to teach him since he was a child. Both in terms of knowledge and behavior, he was quite good.
Hearing Lu Xiao Wen complain, Lu XiaoWu shook his head slightly and whispered, "Brother, mother asked us to deal with the family business as soon as possible. The only one Shang Prefecture dares to take over is this Qiao Sanhu."
"This man is domineering and cruel. He invited us here to show off. Brother, please don't conflict with him..."
When Lu Xiao Wen heard this, he was immediately annoyed and cursed secretly, "This Qiao Sanhu went to Chang'an many years ago and begged to see me. He looked humble, but now he is shaking. It's really..."
"Brother!"
Lu XiaoWu's face became solemn, "Today is different from the past. The lives of our Lu family are hanging by a thread, so we can't help but mess around. If you can't stand it, go back first and let me talk to him."
"That won't work." Lu Xiao Wen shook his head and said, "You're too narrow-minded. My mother said we should separate our families. I won't argue with you, but don't try to trick me."
Lu XiaoWu After listening, a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, but his face was expressionless and he said patiently, "Since the elder brother is not worried, then follow, but you must obey me and don't say a word."
"If I can't do it, I'll turn around and leave!"
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you."
Lu Xiao Wen said impatiently.
After Lu Kang's death, his mother took the lead in dividing the family. He didn't want to stay in this little Shangluo City and was anxious to get money and return to Chang'an.
He has many friends in Chang'an City, and relying on past relationships, he can prosper in any business he does!
All the way to Qilu?
He doesn't want to suffer this...
Feng Ping looked at it and shook his head secretly.
Under the guidance of the servant, the three of them went to a secluded courtyard behind the bathhouse. The facilities here were more luxurious, it was a private courtyard, and the price was even more expensive.
Qiao Sanhu had already taken a bath and was humming a tune while drinking tea. When he saw the two brothers coming in, he just glanced at them and said with a smile, "Hey, the two young masters are here, sit down quickly and serve tea!"
He came from Fengyang in a hurry just for the Lu family's property.
Under the protection of Lu Kang, the Lu family has been like a raging fire over the years. In addition to a large number of shops, there is also an astonishing amount of fields.
Other families dare not touch this piece of fat, for fear that others will say that they bully orphans and widowed mothers.
Just cheap for him Qiao Sanhu.
Whether the snake swallows the whale or not depends on how the conversation goes tonight...
Two hours later, Li Yan and the others came out of the bath, chatting and walking towards the inn.
They have made plans to leave tomorrow.
Two more hours passed, and the night was already dark. The Lu family brothers and their guard Feng Ping came out of the bath. They all looked ugly.
"Lu XiaoWu, how can you agree to such conditions!"
Lu Xiao Wen's face turned the color of pig liver and he cursed unceremoniously.
"Brother, we have no choice."
Lu XiaoWu sighed, turned around and left.
Lu Xiao Wen snorted, got on the carriage next to him, and scolded, "Take me to the Drunken Flower Pavilion, I'm very angry now!"
Lu XiaoWu returned to the Lu Mansion and told Madam Lu exactly what happened.
"Alas~"
Madam Lu was also completely disappointed with his eldest son, "Let him go, Xiao Wu, when do you decide to leave?"
Lu XiaoWu flashed a glint in his eyes, lowered his head and said, "Mother, father's fake funeral has deceived everyone."
"Without further delay, I will set off secretly tonight to escort my father's coffin to the treasure cave..."
