Chapter 24 Sparks and lightning along the way
Huang Feng returned to the post station, asked for a plate of peanuts, and sat at the door to eat slowly.
Sure enough, not long after, Tao Yansheng and Bai Yang returned with Li Motang and Xiao Nuan.
As soon as the two approached, Huang Feng quickly reminded: "Don't do it, the passing caravans and people all rely on this post station to stay overnight. If you kill them with a sword, many people will suffer!"
"Mr. Huang, you are..." Xiao Nuan wanted to accuse, but couldn't think of the right words for a while.
Huang Feng helped her say: "Moral kidnapping?"
Xiao Nuan opened her eyes wide, her mouth slightly opened, and couldn't speak.
I didn't expect you to be such a Mr. Huang!
Then she pouted and muttered: "Can't you be nicer to me and the lady?"
Li Motang didn't say anything, took a chair, and sat opposite Huang Feng.
"Want to eat?" Huang Feng pushed the plate over very enthusiastically.
Li Motang was unmoved: "I want to see how long you can stay here."
Tao Yansheng, who wanted to speak but didn't dare to speak, seemed to see the fierce collision between the two people's eyes.
"I'm tired, Xiaobai, go back to your room and rest." Huang Feng finished eating the peanuts and stood up to greet Bai Yang.
"Okay, senior brother."
Li Motang said calmly: "Xiao Nuan, go and guard his door."
"Okay, miss." Xiao Nuan responded quickly, even a little excited.
Huang Feng looked at Xiao Nuan following behind him and smiled: "It's not good to be at the door, do you want to come in together?"
"Is it okay?" Xiao Nuan's eyes sparkled, and it was unclear whether she was confirming with Huang Feng or asking Li Motang.
Huang Feng was a little speechless. It was just a joke, so unrestrained!
"Xiao Nuan!" Li Motang couldn't stand it anymore and was ready to seriously consider whether to change a maid.
Seeing that she was angry, Xiao Nuan quickly said, "Well, I'd better stay outside the door."
Before going upstairs to the room, Huang Feng told Bai Yang, "After you go back, you should seriously experience what you have learned today. As a sword cultivator, sparring with Miss Li should give you a lot of inspiration."
Bai Yang nodded seriously, "Sister Li is so strong. She said three moves, but I didn't even catch her second sword.
I thought she was a ghost at first. Why did you lie to me, brother!"
Huang Feng lied, "If I'm not lying to you, will you use your sword with all your strength? If you don't fight with her, will she be willing to accompany you for three moves? Brother, it's all for your own good!"
"So that's it!" Bai Yang suddenly realized.
Xiao Nuan, who was following behind, wanted to remind this silly little junior brother.
Huang Feng didn't give her a chance at all. He took a half step, blocked Xiao Nuan behind him, and continued to talk to Bai Yang. This time he was much more serious: "But I want to remind you that the two monsters and Miss Li today are all more powerful than you, but for various reasons, they didn't attack you with all their strength.
When it's a life-and-death battle, especially when you are alone, the battle will be several times more dangerous than today. This battle can never be a reference for you to fight against the enemy in the future. You are too inexperienced and still far from it. Do you understand!"
"Brother, I understand." Bai Yang kept these words in mind, "I remember them all!"
"Okay, go back, and leave with the Tao family's caravan tomorrow morning."
"Brother, I'm going back then."
Bai Yang returned to the room. After he closed the door, Huang Feng said to Xiao Nuan, "You don't really plan to stay at the door, do you? You heard it too. We will leave with the Tao family's caravan tomorrow."
Xiao Nuan pinched her waist and raised her head, "I don't believe it. You didn't even say hello the last time you left."
Huang Feng deliberately teased him, "I said hello to your young lady."
Xiao Nuan widened her eyes in surprise, "How could I not know?"
"If you don't believe me, go ask her!"
"Go then." Xiao Nuan took a few steps and ran back, "Are you trying to cheat me and get me out of the way and run away quietly? I'm not that stupid."
Huang Feng smiled and shook his head, pushing the door open and entering the room.
Xiao Nuan hummed complacently, "I'm smart. If you want to make me get scolded by the young lady, no way!"
Li Motang booked a room and went in to practice silently.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Tao Yansheng asked for a small jar of Huadiao wine and drank it by himself, recalling the experience of following Huang Feng to exorcise the demon that night.
Including the encounter with the female ghost on the road in the morning and being rescued, his experience of the day is something that most mortals will never experience in their lifetime.
"It's worth drinking more." Tao Yansheng squatted at the door, holding the jar and looking at the stars, offering to the immortals and mortals, and gradually got drunk. He almost fell asleep at the door. It was only after the post station clerk reminded him that he staggered back to the room.
...
The next morning, Huang Feng opened the door and found Xiao Nuan squatting outside, holding a bowl of tofu brain, eating happily.
"You really stayed all night?"
"Of course."
"Okay." Huang Feng didn't know why this girl was so proud.
The Tao family caravan had to set off early in the morning. If it was still early and the weather was good when passing through Hefeng County, they would not stop and continue to rush to Shulu.
Tao Yansheng was called up by the housekeeper. When Huang Feng saw him, he found that this guy had black eyes and was listless.
"What's wrong?" Huang Feng asked casually.
"It's okay, it's okay." Tao Yansheng waved his hands repeatedly. He would never say that he was not only hungover, but also dreamed of working with a witch at night. Just when his life was about to be sublimated, the witch suddenly turned into a toad and swallowed him.
"Is it a psychological shadow?" Tao Yansheng was secretly worried. He was about to go to Shulu and Zhaoyang. He also wanted to investigate the fireworks in these two cities.
Tao Yansheng didn't sleep well at night. He wanted to take a nap in the carriage, but when he got to the carriage, he found that there was no seat for him.
In addition to Huang Feng and Bai Yang, Li Motang and Xiao Nuan also got into the carriage.
Seeing the four people looking at him, Tao Yansheng lowered the curtain with a smile on his face and rolled over to lie on the horse's back.
The caravan set off, and the carriage was slightly bumpy on the official road.
Xiao Nuan tried to ask Bai Yang: "Xiao Bai Yang, which sect are you and Mr. Huang disciples from?"
Xiao Nuan was just trying, and was ready to be stopped by Huang Feng, but Huang Feng just smiled and didn't care at all.
"I don't know, Master won't tell us!" Bai Yang answered honestly, his eyes were extremely sincere.
"Then who is your master?"
"Master told me not to say it."
Xiao Nuan was unwilling to give up and continued to ask: "Then where is your sect?"
"Master told me..."
"Okay, just pretend I didn't ask!" Xiao Nuan found that Huang Feng's silly little junior brother was not cute at all.
After they finished talking, Huang Feng asked Li Motang: "You haven't returned to Zhaoyang yet. You must have stayed in Dongshi Town to review the files of the year, which delayed you."
Huang Feng could infer the reason why Li Motang hadn't returned to Zhaoyang yet. Li Motang could also guess his thoughts: "Why, you didn't avoid me, are you sad?"
Huang Feng pretended not to hear: "What did you find out?"
Li Motang didn't answer but asked: "What is your purpose of going to Shulu this time?"
For a while, the carriage was full of sparks. Xiao Nuan and Bai Yang sat there obediently, waiting for the result of their senior brother and young lady's fight.
