Chapter 357

Zhang Xiaohua thought for a while. Fortunately, the place was on the map Ji Xiaohua gave him. It seemed that it was on the way. So he nodded and said, "Miss Nie, it's great that you know the way. Since it's on the way, I'll accompany you for a while."

"It's on the way, Brother Ren. May I know where you're going?"

Nie Qianyu asked in surprise.

Little Orange's eyes flickered.

"Where am I going?" Zhang Xiaohua thought for a while and said with a smile, "Sorry, I can't tell you!"

The two expectant ladies almost choked and rolled their eyes. Was it necessary?

After all, they had gone through thick and thin together. Why couldn't he tell them such a small thing?

However, the two of them seemed to have forgotten that they didn't even tell him where they were going.

Well, maybe they had the rule of "ladies first" in their hearts, but the Guozhuang House was also Zhang Xiaohua's taboo. Unless it was a last resort, he would never say a word about it, especially when there were so many wolves following behind them.

Seeing Zhang Xiaohua looking up at the white clouds in the sky, as if there were endless stories there, Nie Qianyu could only pout and ask Little Orange to pack up and get on the carriage.

Fortunately, they didn't plan to stay here for a long time. Everything was in the shabby carriage, so it was easy to pack up. Not long after, they got on the carriage.

Zhang Xiaohua went to the counter of the inn to settle the bill and tactfully tipped the waiter a few copper coins. He felt very awkward, but the innkeeper was very happy. Not to mention how much the tip was, this young man had booked an old courtyard and didn't even need the waiter to call him. If there was anything, he would come to the counter himself, which saved them a lot of trouble. They only met a few customers like this in a year, so when Zhang Xiaohua left, the innkeeper sent him off far away, almost wiping his tears with his sleeves.

Zhang Xiaohua didn't know and thought that it was the reason for the tip. He praised the charm of the money and raised his vigilance, afraid that the innkeeper would find clues from the carriage.

Actually, he was worrying too much. The shopkeeper had also been running the inn for many years. Although he was lazy to run the inn and treated people indifferently, he still had a pair of eyes, didn't he?

How could they not see clearly? You have stayed in the small courtyard of the inn for many days. Even if they did not deliberately observe you, they would still have a rough idea. When Zhang Xiaohua often took two portions of food from the inn, he had long been labeled as "eloping" or "running away from marriage". He was taken care of by the experienced innkeeper. This was also the main reason why they were not harassed by people who wanted to find out more information.

Zhang Xiaohua did not release her divine sense, so of course, she could not see the ambiguous look in the shopkeeper's eyes. She drove the carriage slowly forward and was very satisfied with her performance in this town. Who said that people with no hair on their mouths couldn't do their jobs well?

This Young Master has just entered the pugilistic world, and I've already played those bad guys in circles!

On the road again, Zhang Xiaohua was not in a hurry. First of all, Nie Qianyu's wrist had not fully recovered and she was afraid that it would be damaged by the bumps. Second of all, there might be bad guys blocking the way ahead. Who would be stupid enough to rush forward?

Third of all, Zhang Xiaohua was sitting cross-legged in the carriage leisurely. It was a good time to comprehend the Heavenly Dao.

Cough, cough. Actually, the most important thing was that the shabby carriage Zhang Xiaohua bought could not go too fast at all!

Along the way, she listened to the creaking sound of the small carriage. Every time there was a slightly bumpy road, she would feel her heart in her throat. She was afraid that the carriage would fall apart. Finally, Little Orange could not stand it anymore. She lifted the somewhat dirty curtain and asked, "Ren Xiaoyao, are you doing this on purpose?"

Her question pulled Zhang Xiaohua back from her daydream. She was very puzzled and asked, "Little Orange, what's wrong?

Why would I do that on purpose? "

"Look at what kind of carriage this is. It might not be able to travel much in a day. When will we be able to go home?

If you want to spend more time with us, just say the word. We see that you have worked hard and let you escort us for a while. What you are doing is unnecessary. "

Zhang Xiaohua smiled bitterly and said, "Little Orange, when I bought the carriage that day, didn't you agree?

Why are you going back on your words now?

It's really hard to be a good person. "

Nie Qianyu's soft voice sounded again, "Brother Ren is doing it for our own good. Little Orange, don't blame him. If he is not in a hurry, why should we be in a hurry?"

"But," Little Orange was a little annoyed and said, "he used our money to buy this junk."

"Pfft," Nie Qianyu laughed and said, "I was wondering what was going on. So you are worried about your own private money. Hehe, I know you are a good wife who can take care of the family. You don't have to show off here."

"You … Miss, you … just … wait, I can't even say a word?"

Little Orange's words were spoken intermittently, and he couldn't hear them clearly.

"Gosh," Zhang Xiaohua complained in her heart. There was a saying that "three women make a play". These two girls were also "five hundred ducks". They were not out of danger yet and they were already … flirting with an innocent young man!

Zhang Xiaohua did not say anything and reached out to pat Huanhuan's butt. Huanhuan seemed to have received an order and started to run quickly. There were two clangs from the carriage behind them and a slight cry of pain. Then there was the loud creaking sound of the carriage and it was quiet in the carriage.

Even though Huanhuan ran fast, the carriage was still very slow. The three of them were starving for food and drink along the way. It was only when it was almost dark that they arrived at another town. They found an inn and settled down a little. Zhang Xiaohua went to inquire for information. According to the innkeeper's introduction, this place was still about a day and a half away from Tanhe City. Zhang Xiaohua was taken aback, but he immediately understood that his carriage was too slow. It had only taken him half a day's journey the entire morning.

The next day, they set off again. Zhang Xiaohua did not increase her speed and instead slowed down a little. This was because she knew that there was only one main road from Tanhe City to the town where they were attacked. It should not be too difficult for the group of people who were chasing after Nie Qianyu to find the luxurious carriage that she abandoned. Of course, she could also imagine that Nie Qianyu would change to another carriage and they would definitely rush to Tanhe City to look for clues. Of course, there were no clues there. Zhang Xiaohua was betting that the group of people would think that Nie Qianyu had been rescued by her family and took another road or had run out of their hunting range. But they did not expect that Nie Qianyu was still strolling slowly on the road to Tanhe City. Besides, they were not the government, so of course they could not set up checkpoints to check one by one, right?

Didn't the books often say, "The most dangerous place is the safest place"?

Perhaps it was because of Zhang Xiaohua's intuition that almost nothing unusual happened for the rest of the day. In the afternoon, a group of people dressed in similar clothes to the people who were chasing after Nie Qianyu passed by in a hurry. The leader of the group only casually glanced at Zhang Xiaohua and his David's Deer before immediately looking away and rushing straight ahead.

When those people were far away, Nie Qianyu poked her head out. After looking for a while, she frowned.

Zhang Xiaohua asked, "Are these people chasing after you?"

Nie Qianyu shook her head blankly and said, "I don't know. Their clothes look similar, but there are many people in the jianghu who wear similar clothes, so I can't be sure that it's them.

Besides, to be honest, I don't know which immortal is chasing after us. "

Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "Even if you were killed, you would still be confused ghosts."

"Bah!" Nie Qianyu spat and shrank back into the carriage.

However, she immediately poked her head out again and asked curiously, "Brother Ren, didn't you say that you're an ordinary farmer in the countryside?

Why aren't you afraid at all when encountering such a fierce man in the jianghu? "

Zhang Xiaohua was stunned and thought, "Isn't that right?

How could there be such a calm country man like me? "

He touched his nose and said, "Didn't I tell you before?

I've studied the Three Character Classic for a few months and I know the principle of 'Might cannot be bent, wealth cannot be obscenities'. "

"You're just making things up." Nie Qianyu angrily retracted her head.

Zhang Xiaohua scratched his head and felt that arguing with a girl seemed to be as interesting as understanding the Way of Heaven.

Not long after, there was another town that he could rest in. Zhang Xiaohua thought for a moment. Although it was still early, he stopped moving forward. Sleeping in the wilderness was something he had no choice but to do. It was better to be careful. He asked the locals and found out that this place was only half a day's journey away from Tanhe City. He estimated that he would reach his destination tomorrow afternoon.

What made Zhang Xiaohua the happiest was that according to the locals' introduction, there was a large-scale escort company in Tanhe City called Fushun Escort Company. It was said that they were very powerful and could escort people as well as deliver items.

Zhang Xiaohua secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After sending them to the escort agency, his task would be completed. He had to go home as soon as possible.

It was already winter. If he hurried, he might be able to go home for the New Year. Thinking that his family could sit at the same table and have a reunion dinner, Zhang Xiaohua felt warm in his heart and wanted to go home as soon as possible.

Early the next morning, Zhang Xiaohua woke them up to hurry. Nie Qianyu and Little Orange looked unhappy, not knowing whether it was because they didn't sleep well or because Zhang Xiaohua wanted to leave them to the escort agency.

They didn't meet any Jianghu people along the way. There were a few who were alone and had nothing to do with them. Also in the afternoon, they arrived at a slightly deserted area. While chatting with Zhang Xiaohua, they heard the sound of hurried horse hooves ahead. Zhang Xiaohua released his Divine Sense and saw five men in neat clothes riding toward them. He didn't dare to be careless and quickly asked the two to hide in the carriage while he pretended to drive the carriage.

Huanhuan was still the same, pulling the shabby carriage to the middle. Zhang Xiaohua quickly asked it to return to the side of the road.

The five men in neat clothes only looked up at Zhang Xiaohua and his shabby carriage and didn't care. When they were about to pass by, a man with very thick eyebrows suddenly shouted, "Hall Master, please wait for a moment. There's something wrong with this carriage."

PS: I finally made a breakthrough. It's not easy, I'm too tired.
