Escape after crossing

Daniu carefully explained what he knew to the two of them. Leng Chenming and Jiang Ziluo looked at each other and thought to themselves: So that's it. It seems that to learn more about the mysterious formation, they have to find the patriarch of the Li family.

They decided to try to communicate with the head of the Li family when they had the chance to come to Daoxiang Village again. The wheels of the car turned slowly, and the figures of Leng Chenming and Jiang Ziluo gradually disappeared.

Finally, it was past noon, the sun was high in the sky, and the sun shone on the earth, making it hot. After a long journey, the three finally arrived at the town. They were exhausted, but they still managed to find an inn to rest and solve the problem of lunch.

After entering the inn, Leng Chenming, Jiang Ziluo and Daniu sat around a table and enjoyed a simple and delicious meal.

After eating and drinking, Leng Chenming and Jiang Ziluo said goodbye to Daniu. Jiang Ziluo also quietly left some silver for Daniu to express his gratitude, and then left with Leng Chenming.

Next, the two went to the market to buy horses and prepared to continue their journey. However, because they were in a small town, they did not find the good horses they were looking for.

In desperation, they could only choose a horse that was barely passable, hoping to last until they reached Linghe City and then change it.

After embarking on the journey, the two found that their progress was relatively slow, not only because the horses were not good enough, but also because the road was rugged, which increased the difficulty of the journey.

The original plan was to reach Linghe City in just two days, but in fact, it took them three full days. When they finally saw the city wall of Linghe City, Leng Chenming and Jiang Ziluo both breathed a sigh of relief.

They know they need a good rest, but they are also eager to get some latest news.

So Leng Chenming brought Jiang Ziluo to Huajianfu, where they could relax, taste delicious food and wine, and restore their strength.

When the two came to Huajianfu, they happened to meet the Ninth Prince Leng Shixuan who was also there. However, because their clothes were not eye-catching, and Leng Shixuan and his group were in a hurry to get on the road, no one noticed Leng Chenming's presence.

Jiang Ziluo and Leng Chenming did not rush to greet them, but found a seat, ordered the dishes, and sat down quietly to enjoy the food. At the same time, the soldiers who were traveling with Leng Shixuan were talking in low voices while eating.

"Tell me, is it true that this Leng prince was eaten by a giant insect as the rumors say? We have been rushing all the way and are about to reach our destination, why did the prince suddenly order us to rest here for a while?"

"Do you know why we chose this inn to rest?" Seeing his companion shaking his head, the man continued to explain, "This inn is owned by that Leng Shizi. There must be a deep meaning behind stopping here."

"Oh? Why do you say that? How do you know so much?"

Jiang Ziluo and Leng Chenming were confused after hearing this. They looked at each other and decided to call the shopkeeper to ask for clarification. After Leng Chenming revealed his identity to the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper was also shocked.

After all, in the past few days, there have been rumors about their master's accident. Now Leng Chenming suddenly showed up, which was really surprising. The shopkeeper calmed down.

He did not make it public, and then followed Leng Chenming's instructions, asking the Ninth Prince Leng Shixuan to find a way to stay and stay for one night.

The shopkeeper naturally did not dare to neglect it, and quickly called the shop assistant to ask him to invite Leng Chenming and the other man to settle down in the best room of the inn.

After everything was arranged, the shopkeeper came to Leng Shixuan's table and bowed respectfully.

"What's the matter?" Leng Shixuan asked in a cold voice.

"Your Highness, I am the innkeeper of this inn." The innkeeper said humbly, "Our master has ordered me to entertain Your Highness well and told me that if Your Highness needs anything, just let me know. In addition..."

Having said that, the shopkeeper paused for a moment and glanced at Leng Shixuan's face, and he didn't look unhappy at all.

The shopkeeper plucked up his courage and moved closer to Leng Shixuan, lowering his voice before continuing, "Our master said that he will avoid everyone later and come to meet the prince."

Leng Shixuan's expression changed slightly after hearing this, but he soon regained his composure. His eyes flashed with a barely perceptible light, as if he was thinking about something. However, in just a moment, his expression became cold as ice again, and he simply said, "I know."

Seeing that the matter had been explained clearly and Leng Shixuan had no other instructions, the shopkeeper prepared to turn around and leave. Just as he was about to step downstairs, Leng Shixuan suddenly called him again: "Shopkeeper, please wait a moment."

The shopkeeper quickly stopped, looked back at Leng Shixuan, and waited for his further instructions.

"Open a few rooms for us," Leng Shixuan's voice was still calm and low, "Just make sure there are enough for us to stay."

The shopkeeper replied respectfully, "Your Highness, there is only one room left in the upper room, but there are three side rooms. The space is spacious enough for these brothers to rest. Do you think this arrangement is satisfactory?"

Leng Shixuan nodded slightly to show his agreement. "Well, let's do as you say. One upper room and three side rooms." Leng Shixuan decided.

"I'll arrange it right away. Please wait a moment." The shopkeeper nodded in agreement and left quickly.

Leng Shixuan was puzzled. He thought the "master" the shopkeeper was talking about was the King of Zhenxi, and he couldn't help wondering what important matter it was that made the King of Zhenxi chase him so far just to see him. He began to guess various possibilities in his mind, trying to find the reason.

However, what Leng Shixuan never expected was that the master the shopkeeper was talking about was not the King of Zhenxi, but someone else.

Just as he was lost in thought, the person who came with Leng Shixuan asked cautiously, "Your Highness, shall we rest here today? If we rest here, will it delay our next trip?"

Hearing the question, Leng Shixuan came back to his senses from his thoughts. He looked up at the person who spoke and smiled slightly.

"It's okay. We've been traveling for so many days, and we're all exhausted. Let's have a good rest here tonight. When we get to the border town, there will be many things waiting for us to deal with. So don't be in a hurry now. Fill your stomachs first. You guys should eat quickly, and then go back to your rooms to rest!"

After saying that, Leng Shixuan ate a few more bites of food on the table and then returned to his room. Leng Chenming and Jiang Ziluo, who had already returned to their rooms, were thinking about what they had just heard.

They didn't have time to ask the shopkeeper what happened specifically? It wasn't that Leng Chenming didn't go forward to recognize Leng Shixuan, but Leng Chenming felt that seeing Leng Shixuan here and at this time always felt something was wrong.

Then he heard the conversation between the two people, which made Leng Chenming feel that the matter was not simple. He had a lot of guesses in his mind, 'Why did the two people say that they were in trouble? And why did Jing know about it? Was there something wrong with the military camp or was there something wrong with the military camp? ' A series of guesses made Leng Chenming feel more and more depressed.
