Chapter 251 A back view
“Brother, are you saying that Alliance Leader Jiang came to see you just now?”
On Luoyi Street, Tang Jiao asked in surprise with wide eyes.
Fu Qingzhou smiled and said, "Isn't it strange? Your eldest brother is quite respectable to me now, okay."
"Brother is so awesome!" Tang Jiao gave a thumbs up.
The two of them had washed up and freshened up, and the night market in Luoyi was bustling at this time, so how could they not come and take a stroll?
Since he was going shopping, Fu Qingzhou deliberately stopped carrying a big bow. Firstly, it was inconvenient, and secondly, it was too conspicuous. He was somewhat famous now, so he might as well avoid getting into trouble.
But the streets were full of Jianghu people, so he still brought his long knife.
This sword was no longer brought out from Fanyin Temple, but bought on the way to Luoyi. It is not a magic weapon, but it was forged by a famous blacksmith and is quite tough.
The two of them followed the scent of the street to a food street, and finally found a small square table among the crowd. Only then were they able to sit down and enjoy some local snacks in Luoyi.
"Here are the things you ordered -"
The small second-hand food tray walked through the crowd with nimble steps, and quickly placed the things in front of Fu Qingzhou and Tang Jiao.
"Fragrant peony cake, emerald tofu curd, Baiyun Longyu soup - and this, the sugar man in the grotto!"
Pop-pap-pap-pap-pap, bowls and plates of food are laid out Tang Jiao's eyes lit up when she saw it.
Even Fu Qingzhou’s eyes lit up when he saw it!
The so-called fragrant peony cake, as its name suggests, looks like a blooming peony flower with wavy edges and stamens made of brown sugar and petals in the center.
The flour cake is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with a faint aroma of wheat and flowers. The brown sugar stamens are sweet but not greasy, which is in sharp contrast to the taste of the flour cake.
The so-called jade tofu brain is a bowl of white and tender tofu brain, topped with soy yellow marinade, and sprinkled with some green coriander and red chili shreds.
The tofu brains are tender and delicious, and the marinade is delicious. After sucking it into the mouth, the tongue can't keep them, and can only let them slide into the stomach, so I can't wait to take the next bite.
The Baiyun Longyu Soup...
How has Fu Qingzhou ever eaten these things since he came to this world?
The best he has ever eaten is just chicken, duck and fish!
These exquisitely made and delicious snacks made him feel like he was back in modern times...
Fu Qingzhou was eating with joy. When he raised his head, he saw Tang Jiao eating. , while quietly wiping away tears.
"What's wrong?" He was slightly stunned.
Tang Jiao pursed her lips, wiped away her tears, and whispered: "Brother, I miss my dad... This sugar man, he used to go to Luoyi for business and brought me back to Beijing..."
Fu Qingzhou smiled softly: "Don't worry, after we finish the work here, we will go to Beijing."
Tang Jiao's eyes suddenly lit up: "Really?!"
"Of course it is true. . "
Fu Qingzhou smiled and said, "Brother, I have already remembered it, and I want to redress my grievances for my father. When my brother-in-law and I said goodbye at the Wucha intersection, I watched the way you looked towards the capital."
There was mist in Tang Jiao's eyes again, but this time it made the smile on her face brighter: "Brother is so kind."
"In fact, I should have gone a long time ago." Fu Qingzhou said softly: "It's Sanskrit. The temple matter has been delayed for too long... Once Senior Zuo's ashes are delivered to her family, and then we can go to Beijing after seeing the Qianlong Baijie Meeting."
Tang Jiao nodded vigorously.
At this moment, Fu Qingzhou was suddenly startled.
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a figure hobbling forward with a cane in the crowd. He subconsciously felt something strange, but he couldn't tell what was strange.
But he trusted his instincts and immediately frowned and stood up abruptly.
"What's wrong, brother?" Tang Jiao looked confused.
"I seem to have seen an acquaintance..." Fu Qingzhou squinted and said, "I have a bad feeling, so I have to go and have a look."
Tang Jiao was surprised: "Need Can I help?”
“No.”
Fu Qingzhou whispered: "If I guess right, it will be dangerous for you to follow - Jiaojiao, you go back to the inn first. If I don't return in two hours, go and notify Alliance Leader Jiang immediately."
Tang Jiao His expression was slightly solemn: "I understand, brother." As he spoke, Fu Qingzhou had already left his seat and squeezed into the crowd.
His eyes were fixed on the back figure that was slowly moving forward in the crowd, hanging far behind it.
He was sure that he had never seen this "cripple", but it would be different if this was a person in disguise.
Normally, such an inconspicuous guy in the crowd would not attract his attention at all.
But...when Fu Qingzhou saw that figure from behind, all the muscles in his body tensed up!
Others don’t recognize it, but he does!
This guy is probably Wu Yan!
He fought with Wu Yan for two nights in the ruined temple. The other party's terrifying and tricky swordsmanship and body skills almost pushed him to a desperate situation... Fu Qingzhou could never forget it!
Even if he just caught a glimpse of the shrugging shoulders, he was already somewhat certain.
And when Fu Qingzhou followed him a few hundred steps, his confidence was already full!
Although the two of them were separated by a long distance from the crowd, the lame man clearly realized something and began to pace gradually faster.
Fu Qingzhou sneered and also secretly quickened his pace.
Not long after, they left the most bustling night market street.
There are fewer and fewer lanterns on the roadside, and fewer and fewer shops are open to welcome customers.
Unconsciously, the light shining on the road changed from lamplight to candlelight, and from candlelight to moonlight.
There were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the street, until only the two of them were left.
When the lame man stopped, there was a small river in front of him.
Across the river is a small courtyard with dim lights, and the rooftop tiles in the distance reflect the bustling night market.
"Aren't you leaving?"
Fu Qingzhou stood far away, gently holding the handle of the long knife with his right hand, and said loudly: "As a lame man, are you walking too fast?"
< br>The "Cripple" slowly turned around and reached out his hand to touch his face in a very bachelor manner, revealing Wu Yan's face.
A few months ago, his ear was removed by Fu Qingzhou with an arrow. Now the ear was hung back to its original position for some reason, leaving only very obvious scars.
“It’s really you.”
Fu Qingzhou sneered: "Don't hold on any longer? Just show your face right away?"
"Today's mission has nothing to do with you." Wu Yan said calmly: "Don't cause trouble."
Fu Qingzhou clicked his tongue and got closer step by step: "I promised Brother Hua to ensure that this conference will be peaceful... But when you Xiaoyu Pavilion comes, there will be no peace."
Wu Yan Qingqing Lift the crutch in your hand and shake it in your hand.
The next second, the wooden crutch shattered and the wooden pieces fell to the ground, revealing the thin sword hidden in the crutch.
He held the rapier horizontally and his tone remained calm: "You are no match for me."
Fu Qingzhou chuckled: "Things are different now, brother Wu Yan!"
The word brother fell to the ground, He also came about twenty steps in front of Wu Yan and instantly drew his sword!
Devil-killing sword!
Facing Wu Yan, he didn't dare to be too confident, so he used his strongest sword technique!
The sword energy flew into the sky, cold light burst out, and Wu Yan Gujing Bubo's eyes also showed a little surprise.
In the flash of lightning, he lowered his head and saw that the hand holding his sword was trembling slightly.
The demon-killing sword, when facing the enemy, the blade has not yet reached, sir, you are frightened!
Wu Yan didn't have any fear on his face, but his body had reacted naturally.
But facing a knife that could cut him in half... he suddenly turned around and jumped.
In the small river, an inconspicuous boat was floating leisurely. On the deck was a boatman wearing a bamboo hat, rocking an oar, with a kerosene lamp at his feet, looking towards the small courtyard on the other side of the river.
The next second, the boatman seemed to realize something and raised his head in surprise.
I saw a man appear on the river embankment from nowhere, holding a thin sword and stabbing towards me!
Not only that, there was someone behind him, holding a long knife in both hands, and he was also coming towards the air and slashing hard!
