Chapter 945: Escape

Ferry Station.

When it gets dark, Shangguan Yun gets up.

He first went to the first floor of the inn and asked the waiter to boil hot water. Then he ordered the chef to make a few breakfast dishes, and then went to the stable to feed the horses himself.

As the master of the White Tiger Hall of the Sun and Moon God Sect, Shangguan Yun can be regarded as a waiter like a cloud on weekdays, and is extremely honorable.

The things he does are also important things in the teaching, the kind of important things that can affect the lives and deaths of hundreds of people.

But now, he is like a slave, doing the job of serving others.

When a person is willing to put down his dignity and do some humble things, then what this person wants to get must be of great importance, at least it can make up for the dignity he has lost.

Although Shangguan Yun has become the master of the White Tiger Hall, he also wants to go further and obtain higher authority and benefits.

He has an extraordinary desire for power and status, so he can endure what others cannot.

When Shangguan Yun went to feed the horses, he heard the boy from the stable talking to the steward of the inn, and two vague sentences floated over -

"Manager Liu, the two guests in Room No. 2 of Tianzi left at midnight. I thought they had paid for the room, so I let them take away their horses. How did I know that they ran away without paying the money? That’s it…”

"Li Laizi, Li Laizi, why do you think so? How did I tell you before? Before the customer leaves, he must ask the counter to find out if the bill has been paid. It's better for you. You don't even ask and let others know. Riding away! Now, whose loss is it, yours or mine?"

Tianzi No. 2...

The figures of two middle-aged men appeared in Shangguan Yun's mind.

These two people were members of the horse racing gang. They drank some wine in the lobby on the first floor last night and made rude remarks to the Eastern leader.

Shangguan Yun wanted to kill these two blind guys, but was stopped by Manager Yang.

He still felt strange at the time. Manager Yang was not a man of faith, so how could he tolerate this?

Did these two people run away overnight without paying the bill at the inn?

Shangguan Yun was despised in his heart. He even had to pay for the inn, so why did he run into the world?

After feeding the horse, Shangguan Yun returned to the inn, only to find that the leader and the chief steward had not left the room yet.

He had some doubts in his heart, and he thought dirtyly, maybe he worked too hard last night and couldn't get up?

He sat on the first floor and waited for almost half an hour, but Dongfang Bubai and Su Yi still didn't come down, and he suddenly started to murmur in his heart.

The breakfast I prepared has been reheated three times.

Seeing that the sun was already rising high and if he stayed any later, his journey would inevitably be delayed, Shangguan Yun had no choice but to bite the bullet and go to the room where Su Yi and the others were staying and knock on the door.

"Dang-dang" sounded twice, and the door opened a crack!

The door is ajar!

Shangguan Yun was so surprised that he hurriedly pushed the door open and saw two naked people sitting on the ground with their backs leaning on the bed, looking at him in horror.

Aren't these two people the two guys who lived in Tianzi No. 2 room as mentioned by Li Laizi who was feeding the horses, and who escaped from the bill?

Shangguan Yun saw at a glance that the two men's acupuncture points had been tapped and could not move. With a quick thought, he stepped in and closed the door.

His eyes quickly fell on the table, where there was a note.

He took two quick steps and picked up the note and read it quickly, his expression gradually becoming serious.

Of course the note was left by Su Yi.

Su Yi told Shangguan Yun in the note, asking Shangguan Yun to pretend that the two unlucky guys were Dongfang Bubai and him, and drive the carriage towards Mount Tai. But before leaving, they must contact the local branch of the Sun Moon God Sect and ask them to pay attention to whether there are any strangers who are inquiring about the whereabouts of the three of them.

If so, it means that someone in Heimuya has leaked their whereabouts to the outside world and is preparing to harm Dongfang Bubai and him.

Su Yi told Shangguan Yun in the note and asked him to contact Tong Baixiong immediately. The two of them, from inside and outside, quietly uncovered the traitor on Heimu Cliff and found out who was behind the scenes.

He also told Shangguan Yun not to go any further when the carriage reached Jinan Mansion. If he saw something was wrong, let Shangguan Yun put his own safety first and find a way to escape immediately.

Shangguan Yun read the contents of the note back and forth three times, so carefully that he had to write down every word.

Then he put the note into his arms and stored it, with a gloomy expression on his face, and began to think carefully.

He originally thought that he would travel with Dongfang Bubai and Su Yi, traveling around various places for a long time, and he would be able to take this opportunity to get closer to the leader and the general manager.

Unexpectedly, not long after setting off, he parted ways with the person he wanted to curry favor with.

Shangguan Yun never expected this change.

But that’s not a bad thing!

Shangguan Yun felt a little excited in his heart.

It turns out that the leader and the general manager went to Heimu Cliff this time to use their bodies as bait to investigate the traitor.

Shangguan Yun personally participated in such a confidential and important matter and became an important part of it. What does this mean?

It shows that he has gained the trust of the leader and the general manager!

This is an opportunity!

He secretly made up his mind to seize this opportunity, cooperate with the leader and the chief manager, and put on a good show!

He was not surprised that there was a traitor in Heimuya.

In fact, the General Manager has been acting in the opposite direction over the years. From the elders to the lower church members, everyone is panicked and has different thoughts. Isn't it normal for a few traitors to appear in this situation?

Thinking of this, Shangguan Yun's eyes fell on those two unlucky guys again.

He smiled cruelly, took out a small bottle from his arms, and poured out two extremely smelly pills from the bottle. Then he pinched the mouths of the two men and fed them, which untied their acupuncture points.

Without waiting for the two men to beg for mercy, Shangguan Yunxian crushed a porcelain cup calmly, which immediately shocked the two men.

"From now on, you two will do whatever I say. If you don't obey... hehe..."

Half an hour later, everyone in the inn saw Master Yang and Madam Yang in a long red dress, helped down the stairs by their servants, and left the inn. The carriage continued to go southwest.

Not long after, two carrier pigeons were released not far from the inn, one to the south and the other to the north.

In the narrow alley opposite the inn, a man in black said solemnly: "Ride fast and catch up with Shangguan Tangzhu, and tell him that there are indeed two groups of people who are asking about Young Master Yang's whereabouts!"

"Yes!"

More than 30 miles east of the ferry post, there is a town called Linqing, which is adjacent to the Luyun Canal Wharf and is one of the important towns for water transport.

At 3:30 pm, two fast horses galloped to the wharf, one in front and one behind. The two men on the horses were two men with sallow faces. Although they looked ordinary, they were extraordinary.

The young hooligans who were digging for food on the wharf were all discerning. Seeing the posture of these two people, they all hid far away and did not dare to provoke them.

One of the burly yellow-faced men got off the horse and went straight to the wharf. He quickly used a large sum of money to charter a small pleasure boat, and then sold the two fast horses on the spot at a low price.

He spent money lavishly, buying a lot of dry food and supplies on the spot, which made the merchants sitting at the dock a small fortune.

While the burly man was doing these things, another taciturn man kept his eyes fixed on him from beginning to end, with lingering eyes, but he did not mean to help, just watching the burly man busy.

When the burly man finished everything, he waved to the silent man not far away.

The two of them got on the pleasure boat with their bags, and soon left the dock and sailed to the depths of the canal.

These two people were naturally Su Yi and Dongfang Bubai.

Su Yi suddenly decided to take the water route last night.

However, the plan to lure the snake out of the hole to investigate the traitor was set before he went down the Black Wood Cliff, but now the plan has been changed.

Su Yi's original plan was to use Dongfang Bubai and himself as bait to lure potential enemies into the trap, and then rely on Dongfang Bubai's extraordinary force to solve as many as possible.

Both foreign aggression and internal peace must be handled with both hands.

He felt that what he did should not be considered "malicious fishing", but a reasonable use of the rules.

First of all, it was not his idea to go to Jiangnan to seek the Star Absorbing Technique, but Dongfang Bubai's idea. He just wanted to go with him.

Su Yi was anxious to practice martial arts as soon as possible, so he went to Jiangnan with Dongfang Bubai. This is reasonable, right?

He and Dongfang Bubai had left, and there was no leader on the Black Wood Cliff, so he held a meeting to tell the leadership of the Sun and Moon Sect to settle everything. This is also reasonable, right?

In order to avoid the suspicion of malicious fishing, Su Yi not only limited the insiders to the level of elders and hall masters, but also specifically asked them to keep it secret. If he could do this, it would not be considered fishing, right?

He had done this, but the news was still leaked. This had nothing to do with him, Su Yi, right?

Originally, Su Yi thought that with his ability, if he and his group were followed, he would definitely notice it.

But he didn't expect that after two days of walking, everything was calm and no one was following him and Dongfang Bubai at all.

Su Yi didn't believe that no one really cared about his and Dongfang Bubai's whereabouts. He thought about it and guessed what the other party might do.

The other party was so cautious that Su Yi's ideas of using the other party's strength to fight the other party and taking advantage of the other party's strategy were not very useful. Once used, they would be suspected of "malicious fishing".

Moreover, Su Yi also found that his plan had a big flaw, that is - passive!

He had no way of predicting when the enemy would come, so he could only wait passively.

Although he was willing to take risks to weaken the enemy, if the risk was too great, Su Yi would have to consider whether it was worth doing so.

Not worth it!

After Su Yi weighed the pros and cons, he decisively changed and improved the plan.

He changed the plan of using himself as bait to using Shangguan Yun as bait, and then played a trick of using a pawn to deceive the world.

With Shangguan Yun and Tong Baixiong echoing each other, as long as they worked hard, they would definitely gain something in the matter of "pacifying the country".

He and Dongfang Bubai took the canal waterway and went down the river all the way to Jiangnan.

But Su Yi's goal was not only to get the Star Absorbing Art, he believed that his clever enemies would definitely find out his and Dongfang Bubai's whereabouts.

By that time, he would have some internal strength, which would be much safer than now.

Su Yi did not tell Dongfang Bubai about these things in detail. Dongfang Bubai did not seem to care about them and let Su Yi do it.

It was just that when Su Yi showed his god-level imitation makeup skills, Dongfang Bubai was quite surprised.

The water flow of the canal was gentle, much more stable than the carriage.

Su Yi and Dongfang Bubai sailed south, and the markets and docks on both sides gradually became prosperous.

When they sailed to Huai'an, they encountered a group of pirates. Su Yi did not need to take action, Dongfang Bubai solved them with flying needles from a distance.

Apart from that, there were no dangers along the way.

Su Yi did not contact the secret branches of the Sun and Moon Sect, so he had no idea what happened to Shangguan Yun, the bait, or what progress had been made in the investigation of the traitor on the Blackwood Cliff.

He and Dongfang Bubai enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the South along the way, feeling comfortable and relaxed.

Compared to their leisure, the righteous masters at the foot of Mount Tai were not so comfortable.

Shangguan Yun drove the carriage leisurely to Jinan Prefecture, and then stopped.

His whereabouts were continuously sent to Mount Tai by Zuo Lengchan's men and laid out in front of Zuo Lengchan.

The righteous masters had different opinions at this time.

They came to help the Taishan Sect. If Dongfang Bubai really came to attack the Taishan Sect, then there was no doubt that everyone would fight side by side.

But he leisurely arrived at Jinan Prefecture and did not leave. He did not want to advance or retreat. How could he explain this?

According to Zuo Lengchan's idea, since they were here, they might as well go all out and kill Dongfang Bubai together. They would eliminate the devil and defend the way.

He had reason to do so. If he could lead all the masters of the righteous sect to surround and kill Dongfang Bubai, his reputation and status would definitely rise to a higher level, especially since even Master Fangzheng of Shaolin would follow his command this time.

But the other people from the Five Mountains Sword Sect were unwilling to do so.

It was not that they did not want to kill Dongfang Bubai, but because they felt that this matter was a bit strange and they should wait and see for the time being and not act impulsively.

Yue Buqun believed that "Dongfang Bubai" stopped in Jinan Prefecture, and it was very likely that he had learned that so many masters of the righteous sect had gathered in Mount Tai, so he hesitated. If everyone went there rashly at this time, they might fall into the trap of luring the tiger away from the mountain.

Yue Buqun's idea was supported by Tianmen Taoist, while Master Mo Da and Master Ding Xian thought that it was better to be quiet than to move, and first figure out what the devil sect was going to do, and then it would not be too late to act.

Master Fangzheng did not support anyone and continued to play the game.

He positioned himself as a thug who came to help, and did not raise any opinions.

To be honest, Su Yi's actions really confused Zuo Lengchan and others. Sometimes the biggest problem of smart people is thinking too much.

Thinking too much, they dare not move, so the situation that was originally on the verge of breaking out unexpectedly became a weird stalemate.

More than ten days later, Su Yi and Dongfang Bubai arrived at Qiantang in the afternoon.

Entering the city, there were pedestrians shoulder to shoulder and music everywhere.

The two first went into the city to find an inn to rest for a while, restored their original appearance, and then went to the West Lake together.

Although Dongfang Bubai was revisiting the old place, he had not been here for more than ten years and had taken the wrong road several times.

After walking for more than an hour, he found the place deep in a plum forest.

This is a large manor with red doors and white walls, and the two big characters "Plum Manor" are written outside the gate.
