Chapter 341 No Regrets
He knew that Xing'er brought him here because of the spying gaze on them, and he also knew that someone followed them all the way back.
Although he is blind now, his hearing is very sharp, even better than before his eyes were injured.
He just hid quietly in the darkness, neither making a sound nor letting go of Xia Xing'er's hand.
Xia Xing'er chose this position because she saw one of the people following them go upstairs.
The Fu Yue Restaurant is five stories high. The bottom three floors are private rooms, a lobby for receiving guests, and a hall for serving dine-in meals. Only the fifth floor is special.
There was only one independent private room, which was more luxurious and complete than other places, and there was only one person in it.
Xia Xing'er guessed that the person living here should be the owner behind the Fu Yue Restaurant, and this person should be the one who sent people to gather information and follow them.
After the spy was sent out, he went upstairs, knocked on the door, and only opened the door and walked in after receiving a response from inside.
Xia Xing'er looked at the situation inside.
The nobleman sitting on the brocade couch was wearing a crescent-white gown, holding a scroll and a teacup in his hands.
I looked up when I heard the door open.
I saw that she had a pretty and dignified appearance, with gentle eyes and eyebrows without any aggressiveness, giving people a very kind feeling. When I looked closely at her facial features, I found that she actually looked somewhat familiar.
This familiar feeling came inexplicably, and Xia Xing'er really couldn't remember where she had seen it before, so she could only shift her attention to the spy again.
"master."
The spy lowered his head and respectfully reported all the information he had discovered.
"They stopped at the Ruyi Inn. The Prince of Zhennan had a very close relationship with that woman. I was afraid of being discovered, so I didn't listen to what they said. But it seems that his relationship with that woman and the other two people was unusual!"
"Prince Zhennan did not show up to kill the Ghost Gate people tonight. That woman must have a close relationship with him. It seems that this woman is the one he has been searching for!"
The young man in white put down the book in his hand. He really couldn't understand why Xuanyuan Yi was interested in such an unattractive woman.
He had just seen that woman before, and he really didn't see anything special about her.
But now Xuanyuan Yi was so angry for such a person that he surrounded the Ghost Gate with just one sword.
Xuanyuan Yi's ability is much greater than he thought.
This is both a good thing and a bad thing.
"We still have to find a way to get closer to them and get more useful information."
Ever since Xuanyuan Yi and the others retreated to Stone Village, it has become very difficult to get any news about them.
Two months ago, a strange phenomenon occurred in Stone Village, which has attracted the attention of many people from outside. Now everyone suspects that there are gods and people helping them, and some people also speculate that they are in league with evil thieves.
The Ghost Gate is a mysterious organization, and after Xuanyuan Yi split the mountain gate open with a sword, it gradually revealed itself to the public.
Ever since they learned of the existence of the Ghost Gate, their people have been trying every possible means to find it, in an attempt to lure them in as guests of honor and establish a relationship with them to gain help from them.
But ever since the Ghost Gate was destroyed by Xuanyuan Yi's sword, this idea of his disappeared.
Instead, they focused all their attention on Xuanyuan Yi.
He now wanted to persuade him and his subordinates to join their camp.
"Keep a close eye on them tonight. Don't let them find out. Find out the direction they left in the morning and report back!"
"Yes, Master!"
"Right now, the entire Stone Village is blocked by a mountain protection formation, making it impossible to communicate with the people inside. So we can only find a way to break in. Three days later, I will meet them as Xuanyuan Yi's friend. Of course, I will also need your assistance in making arrangements for this matter."
"As long as the master commands, I will not refuse even if I die!"
After listening to their conversation, Xia Xing'er decided to leave tonight in order to avoid being pestered by them.
She had memorized the man's appearance, and before the people who were monitoring them arrived, she had already taken Xuanyuan Yi back.
You still want to meet them? What a joke!
"Go tell the eldest brother and the third brother that we'll pack up and leave now."
Xia Xing'er's favorite thing to do is to make the plans of people she doesn't like or who want to plot against them fail, so as soon as she returned to the inn, she asked Xuanyuan Yi to call for help.
Xuanyuan Feng and Xuanyuan Wu returned to Xuanyuan's territory. They lay down in their clothes, but they couldn't calm down and tossed and turned in bed because they were back in their hometown!
When Xuanyuan Yi came to call them, neither of them had fallen asleep. When they heard that they didn't have to stay another night and could go back to the base camp directly, they were so happy that they almost jumped out of bed.
"Should I cut my braids? Should I shave my beard? Should I change into new clothes?"
"Should I go buy some local specialties or something to bring back as gifts?"
When the two eight-foot-tall, burly men heard the news, they became as anxious as headless flies and ran around in panic.
Xuanyuan Yi looked at his two brothers like this and wanted to say that he didn't know them, but he finally held back: "Hurry up and clean up!"
Because time was tight, Xuanyuan Feng and Xuanyuan Wu quickly packed up their things and came to Xia Xing'er with excitement and nervousness.
Stone Village.
The night is cool as water and dotted with stars.
In the yard, an old man and a little boy sat face to face playing chess.
The old man is in high spirits and has a rosy complexion. After more than a month in Shitou Village, his cheeks have become plump.
He ate preserved fruits and picked and chose from a variety of snacks, and had no intention of playing chess at all.
The child opposite the old man had no expression on his face as he studied the chess game in front of him seriously. His cute and delicate face looked very old-fashioned.
He frowned and studied for a long time, then the chess piece in his hand fell onto the chessboard with a click.
"Grandpa Zhuge, you lost!"
His voice was childish and his chubby face was full of seriousness.
The catkins in Mr. Zhuge's mouth fell to the ground with a plop. What? He actually lost?
How is this possible?
How could he lose?
He looked at the chessboard with suspicion. The white pieces on the board had already killed all his black pieces.
Mr. Zhuge blew his beard and glared, "Nonsense, how could I lose? I made a mistake!"
As he spoke, he was about to reach out and pick up the piece he had just dropped.
Xia Ziyu expressionlessly pressed down Grandpa Zhuge's hand and said, "Grandpa Zhuge, there's no regret in making this move!"
Old Master Zhuge was stared at by his clear eyes and suddenly became angry and embarrassed.
