Chapter 399

PS: Last update for this week, thank you.

Today's broadband is down, just in time. Sorry for the long wait!

Just as Zhang Xiaohua was wondering if he should chase after him, his divine sense suddenly detected that Banner Master Gao, who had already run out of the village, suddenly turned around and hid behind a huge pile of firewood by the side of the road. Not long after, two burly men on two horses galloped past the road. As they walked, they said, "Banner Master Gao's martial arts are indeed extraordinary. He disappeared in such a short time. He's even faster than a horse. Oh, and he's even bringing someone with him.

Ai, who knows how long it'll take for us brothers to reach such a level of cultivation. "

In the dark night, the sound of the horses' hooves was quite loud and traveled quite a distance. When the two horses were far away, Banner Master Gao finally came out from behind the pile of firewood. Looking at the dark night, he turned around and actually headed back to the village.

When Zhang Xiaohua's divine sense saw this, he was very surprised. Soon after, he understood that this Banner Master Gao really had some skills. Seeing that Banner Master Gao had returned to the small courtyard, Zhang Xiaohua quickly floated up to the wall and carefully bent down to observe his every move.

He saw that Banner Master Gao had the little girl under his arm and didn't let go. He only went into the house to tidy up and put away some things. This time, he left the house without even closing the door and floated back into the house. Zhang Xiaohua thought to himself, "This guy is really cautious. But with his movements, I still have to chase after him."

Thinking this, he wasn't in a hurry. With his divine sense monitoring him, he guessed that Banner Master Gao wouldn't be able to escape. Thus, Zhang Xiaohua released his divine sense while heading toward the village entrance. He wanted to call out to Huanhuan, but after just two steps, a smile appeared on his face again.

Of course, Banner Master Gao couldn't continue running after reaching the north side of the village. Instead, he went downstairs to another clean courtyard and entered it.

"A crafty rabbit has three burrows." This popular phrase instantly appeared in Zhang Xiaohua's mind.

Zhang Xiaohua came to the entrance of the village and pulled Huanhuan to sit on the pile of firewood at the entrance of the village. She used her spiritual perception to observe for a long time and did not see any movement from Banner Master Gao. Presumably, he would be resting here tonight.

This was exactly what Zhang Xiaohua wanted. He also went into the pile of firewood and closed his eyes to cultivate.

The next day, Zhang Xiaohua woke up. Before she even opened her eyes, she heard the clamor of people and horses outside. Zhang Xiaohua released her divine sense and saw that the small village had already been surrounded by many armed soldiers. The small courtyard where Bannerman Gao had appeared earlier had already been discovered. Many soldiers were searching inside. Moreover, there were small groups of soldiers knocking on each door, as if they were searching each house.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiaohua inwardly cursed. With such a commotion, Banner Master Gao must have already fled.

When she turned her divine sense to the courtyard where Banner Master Gao had been last night, she found that he was still sleeping soundly. "Eh?" Zhang Xiaohua was puzzled. How could this guy be so calm?

After carefully observing the movements of the soldiers, Zhang Xiaohua nodded inwardly.

Indeed, Zhang Xiaohua had always despised the government. She thought that the government was full of worms and incompetent people who didn't need to be taken seriously. However, with her divine sense, she saw that there were many skilled soldiers among the soldiers surrounding the entrance of the village. Moreover, there were a few people with white hair and dressed in official robes. They were carefully looking at the ground and muttering something. Then, as if they had reached a consensus, they walked towards another person on a horse.

The person on the horse seemed to be an official. After hearing their suggestion, he frowned and shouted something loudly. Thus, the soldiers who were searching the houses immediately stopped disturbing the villagers and gathered at the entrance of the village. When the soldiers were in formation, the official waved his hand and the entire group of soldiers headed west of the village. Wasn't that the direction the two of them had ridden to last night?

However, before the official left, he looked around the entrance of the village as if he was looking for something. It was only when everyone had left that he patted his horse's butt and chased after them.

After a while, this small village with an unknown name quieted down again. In an instant, Zhang Xiaohua's admiration for this Banner Master Gao surged like a torrential river. This guy was really smart. Last night, he had feinted a shot and then slept soundly in his room. Just like that, he had shaken off the pursuing soldiers!

This was similar to the trick Zhang Xiaohua had played in the small town in front of Tanhe City. However, looking at his mentality and maturity, Zhang Xiaohua could only hope to catch up.

In an instant, Zhang Xiaohua seemed to understand that sometimes, things in this world couldn't be completely solved by force. She also immediately became more wary of this Banner Master Gao who didn't seem very powerful.

Sure enough, less than the time it took to drink a cup of tea after the soldiers had left, Bannerman Gao woke up. He walked out of the door and listened carefully before returning to the courtyard. He found a shabby carriage and pulled out a small donkey from the backyard. He put the donkey on the carriage and then returned to the house. Nobody knew where he found the girl, but he carried her out and casually placed her in the carriage.

Just as Zhang Xiaohua was watching with great interest and secretly pondering and seriously studying, a man dressed in martial arts clothes suddenly appeared at the entrance of the village where the military official had been standing. He was even pulling a handsome red horse with him. As he walked, he looked around in a flamboyant manner, as if he was very strange.

That man was still mumbling, "What's going on? I just had diarrhea, and all these people are gone?

Cousin too, why didn't he tell me when he left?

Where did they all go? "

Zhang Xiaohua carefully identified the person, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed. This was an old friend. He hadn't seen him for a long time, and Zhang Xiaohua had a special affinity with him. Wasn't this Yu Deyi, the Eldest Young Master of the Lotus Flower Escort Agency, who had studied together with Zhang Xiaohu in the martial arts training center?

Speaking of the Great Young Master Zhang Xiaohua, he indeed had an affinity with Zhang Xiaohua. On the way to Ping Yang City to practice martial arts, this fellow had met the two brothers Zhang Xiaohua and Zhang Xiaohu together with Li Jinfeng and Yu Lun. They had even entered the city in the same carriage. When Yu Deyi was practicing martial arts at the Lotus Flower Escort Agency, he had used his family's heirloom Cinnabar Palm to injure Zhang Xiaohua's right hand. If it wasn't for the fact that Zhang Xiaohua's Fist of the North Star had the effect of tempering the bones, it was likely that Zhang Xiaohua's right hand would still be unable to exert any strength. Also, during the martial arts exhibition at the Misty School, Zhang Xiaohua and Yu Deyi met again. However, their results were completely different. Zhang Xiaohua had passed several rounds consecutively while Yu Deyi had returned empty-handed, losing all face. Of course, because the results were different, the two of them didn't know each other's battle results.

After the martial arts exhibition, they hadn't met again. It had been five years since then.

Looking at Yu Deyi, Zhang Xiaohua's lips curled into a smile. Yes, it was purely a smile of seeing an old friend. It was as if he didn't remember that he had been injured by someone back then.

At this time, Banner Master Gao had also gotten on a donkey cart and was heading towards the village entrance. If there were no accidents, the two of them would meet very soon.

Putting aside Yu Deyi's current martial arts and whether he could be a match for Banner Master Gao, even if Yu Deyi could easily take down Banner Master Gao, it would still spoil Zhang Xiaohua's plan of setting a long line to catch a big fish. Therefore, Zhang Xiaohua absolutely wouldn't allow Yu Deyi to spoil his plans.

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Xiaohua took out a large handkerchief from his bosom and covered his face. With a twist of his body, he used Earth Escape to appear behind Yu Deyi. He reached out and grabbed the back of Yu Deyi's neck. In a low and hoarse voice, he said, "Brother, if you want to live, then don't speak. Pull on your date red horse and follow me."

Then, without waiting for Yu Deyi's response, he grabbed his neck and pulled him back.

Yu Deyi was looking around when he was suddenly grabbed and threatened. Moreover, there was an irresistible force pulling him back. How could he dare to resist?

He didn't even dare to speak. He walked backwards while pulling on his date red horse. Before long, the two people and the horse arrived at the village entrance behind several large piles of firewood.

At this time, Banner Master Gao happened to be driving his donkey cart out of the village. He stopped at the village entrance for a moment and looked around before heading east. He was going in the opposite direction of the other two people from last night.

The donkey cart was moving very slowly. It seemed that Banner Master Gao wasn't in a hurry. Therefore, Zhang Xiaohua used his divine sense to slowly follow him. For a short while, he wouldn't be able to escape from his surveillance. Therefore, Zhang Xiaohua only let go of his hand when the donkey cart was gradually far away.

When Yu Deyi felt the person behind him let go, he immediately did a somersault and dodged far away. At the same time, he drew his sword from his waist and pointed it at Yu Deyi. He said sternly, "Who are you?

Not only are you masked, you even dared to sneak an attack from behind. What are your intentions? "

When Zhang Xiaohua saw this, he was secretly amused. He lowered his voice and said in a hoarse voice, "Who are you?

Why are you here? "

In fact, Zhang Xiaohua's action was unnecessary. When he first met Yu Deyi, he was about 69 years old. It was the time when a child's voice changed. Now that he was 63 years old, his voice had already become deeper and was not as sharp as before. Even if he spoke normally, Yu Deyi might not be able to recognize him.

When Yu Deyi heard the other party's question, he frowned and said, "I am Yi Deyu, the brother-in-law of the leader of the fourth troop of the city guards under the Ping Yang City garrison. I followed him here to suppress the bandits. How dare you kidnap me halfway. Be careful, I will ask my brother-in-law to send troops to kill you."

In the end, he was no longer confident.

"Yi Deyu?

Suppress the bandits? "

Zhang Xiaohua was laughing in his heart, but his face was serious. He said, "Oh, so you are from the government. You are here to suppress the bandits, not to kidnap a girl. Hmm, forget it then. You go your way and I will go mine. Let's just pretend that you did not see me today."

When he finished speaking, Zhang Xiaohua pretended to leave. When Yu Deyi heard this, he was not willing to let him go. He shouted, "That thief You, don't tell me you are the person who kidnapped my niece?"

As Yu Deyi said this, he wanted to draw his sword but did not dare to. He looked around, as if looking for help.

Zhang Xiaohua was stunned and asked, "Your niece?"

Yu Deyi looked around and saw that there was no one around. He could only say, "That's right. That girl is from the government. If you know her background, you have to tell me honestly."
