C160 The Storm Was Still Raging

At noon, they still could not walk out of the forest. They could not even take out their dry rations to eat. They rushed without stopping and finally arrived at a small city at dusk. The word Meng Zhao was written on the city gate. The first word could not be seen clearly.

The group of people randomly found an inn and passed the carriage to the waiter before entering the inn.

There were already many people sitting in the inn. There were scholars dressed in shabby clothes and merchants carrying luggage. There were also a few burly men.

Ye Xiaotian did not pay much attention to them. The two consecutive days of heavy rain had long brought back the bleak and desolate feeling. At this time, they needed some strong alcohol to dispel the chilliness within their bodies.

The waiter immediately brought over a few jars of good wine. However, Liu Zhennan and Xiang Fenglin's expressions were somewhat ugly. Moreover, they ignored the food on the table.

"What's wrong, the two of you?" Ye Xiaotian asked in a low voice.

Liu Zhennan said in a low voice. "Our whereabouts have been exposed. "

Ye Xiaotian was stunned. He glanced around. A few people who had been staring at them suddenly turned their heads away.

He somewhat understood what Liu Zhennan meant. "Does Chief Liu know them?"

"I don't know them. I just fought with them a few times. I didn't expect to meet them here. " Liu Zhennan said with some fear.

"Oh? Who does Chief Liu mean?" Although Ye Xiaotian had discovered those people who had been spying on them, he could not tell that they were hiding their true abilities.

"Young Master Ye, do you see that scholar?" Liu Zhennan lowered his head and asked.

Ye Xiaotian nodded. The scholar was holding a book in his hand, and when they entered, he didn't even lift his head.

"He's the plain-clothed scholar, Shuhang. The person with the iron abacus next to his hand was the iron rooster, Jin Manman. The two of them used to travel in the Zhennan, and they didn't belong to any force. They had committed a lot of crimes just for their own benefits. We even organized people to eliminate these two men, but they are both skilled in martial arts. Furthermore, they've deliberately avoided us, so we don't have any clues. Later, we heard that they had joined the Bright Moon Tavern. I didn't expect to meet him here today. " Liu Zhennan's face was as gloomy as water as he explained the background of these two men to Ye Xiaotian and Xiao Dao. Xiang Fenglin nodded his head in agreement.

"Only the two of them?" Ye Xiaotian asked. It was not these two people who had been secretly spying on them, but those few burly men. Their identities aroused Ye Xiaotian's interest.

"This, we don't know. After they joined the Bright Moon Tavern, we won't be able to hear any news about them anymore. " Liu Zhennan understood what Ye Xiaotian meant. He glanced around and said in a low voice.

"What about the food and drinks?" Xiang Fenglin asked. His eyes lit up.

One of the three strongholds immediately took out a silver needle. Although he did pour the wine, he tested the silver needle in every dish and wine. He did not poison any of them.

Only then did the group begin to relax. After all, there was a table full of dishes in front of them. It was a little strange that they did not move at all.

Borrowing the intentional voices of the three stronghold residents, Liu Zhennan asked, "What do you have in mind, Young Master Ye?"

"Since we are here, we should take care of ourselves. They have not even looked at us for so long. Maybe they are not here for us. " Ye Xiaotian took a bite of the food and answered softly.

"Noisy. " Song Shuhang, who had been staring at the book in his hand, suddenly opened his mouth and casually threw out three wooden chopsticks.

Although it was a casual move, the strength was not weak at all. In the blink of an eye, it arrived in front of the three strongholds.

It seemed that the three of them were about to die on the spot. Xiao Dao immediately attacked. Before he saw how Xiao Dao unsheathed his sword, his sword had already returned to its sheath. The three chopsticks broke and fell to the ground.

"Oh? What a fast sword technique. " Shuhang closed Scroll and walked to Ye Xiaotian and the others' table. He looked at Xiao Dao and said.

Little Saber didn't even look at Shuhang. He just poured a bowl of wine for himself and took a light sip.

Song Shuhang, however, minded his own business and sat beside him, pouring himself a bowl of wine.

"Such a handsome sword technique, if I can't make friends with it, it will definitely be a great regret in my life. " Even though Song Shuhang was ignored, he still had a smile on his face.

Ye Xiaotian and Liu Zhennan looked at each other, but their eyes were filled with doubt. Could it be that this Shuhang really didn't recognize them? Or was all of this just another plot?

"Get lost. " Xiao Dao took another sip and said coldly.

Song Shuhang was stunned. This was the first time in his life that he had encountered such malicious words. However, he didn't get angry. Instead, the smile on his face became even wider.

"Brother, you might have misunderstood me. I don't have any ill intentions. The people of the Jianghu call me the 'Coarse Robed Scholar' Song Shuhang. It's me. " Song Shuhang also gave a small adjective.

"My friend must be an indomitable man, and not a lowly person who is associated with the Bright Moon Tavern. " Xiao Dao glanced at him. He looked at Song Shuhang with disdain and said.

"Hehe, Brother Shu, I'm looking down on you for joining the Bright Moon Tavern. Why do you need to use your hot face to stick to my cold butt?" Jin Manlou suddenly interrupted.

"Shut up!" Song Shuhang let out a cold shout, and then looked at the small saber with a smile on his face, "As the saying goes, a good bird chooses a tree to live on. What I'm doing is only following the trend of the world. When did the Jianghu not become so chaotic? When did they not fight like this? Brother, why do you have to worry about it?"

The small saber didn't even want to open its mouth after saying half a sentence.

"Brother Shu, it's time to go on the road. Don't forget the task assigned to you by the Branch Leader. " Jin Manlou spoke again.

This time, Song Shuhang didn't refute. He looked at the small saber and said: "Brother, we'll meet again in the future. "

After saying this much, he followed Jin Manlou and left in a hurry.

It was still raining heavily outside the door. Ye Xiaotian was also unable to figure out why he had left at this time.

However, just as the two of them left, a few burly men walked over and suddenly knelt in front of Ye Xiaotian's table.

"This subordinate greets Chief Liu, as well as Young Hero Xiao Dao. " One of the burly men said.

"You are?" Liu Zhennan thought about it carefully, but still didn't have any impression of the person in front of him.

"Your subordinate is from Guichen. When the three of you came in, I found out. It was just that the two of them couldn't speak, so I waited until now. " That person replied respectfully.

Ye Xiaotian frowned, and he thought to himself that something wasn't right.

"How's the situation?" Liu Zhennan asked in a deep voice. He was naturally asking about the battle that was surrounding Yan Nanshan.

The group of burly men suddenly lowered their heads, as if they had used all their strength to speak. "All of them were killed. "

Just one sentence, but it caused the temperature in the inn to drop, and the air seemed to have stopped flowing at this moment.

The heavy rain outside the door did not stop at all. The entire world seemed to only have the sound of dripping water.

But no matter how violent and lasting the rain was, there would definitely be a time when it would stop. At that time, the rainbow would definitely hang in the sky.
