Chapter 378

No news has come from the border town for more than a month.

Worried about the safety of the border city, the emperor sent two or three patrol envoys in succession, but none came back.

Therefore, the helpless but worried emperor sent Yi Lan to the border city for a walk.

Yi Lan is older after all, and can't be too bumpy. Therefore, after a journey of more than ten days on weekdays, Yi Lan walked for half a month to see the edge of the border city.

"Right phase, can you still insist?"

Yi Lan was accompanied by the eunuch beside the emperor, Duke Li.

After walking down for half a month, not to mention Yi Lan's tiredness, Grandpa Li also became black and thin from his previous oily face. He was in a mess.

Yi Lan looked at the city in the distance and sighed weakly: "I'm really old. If I were young, let alone take the car for half a month, I wouldn't be so tired. My old waist..."

Father Li tenderly rubbed his waist: "right phase, it's because of taking the bus. It's too long."

"Yes, it's really old and useless." Yi Lan sighed.

"You don't have to worry. When we get to the border town, let the Lord find you a better doctor and have a good look." Grandpa Li said with a smile, his eyes full of expectation: "let's..."

"No, No." Yi Lan held his waist: "I really can't move. My waist, my waist... It hurts..."

"Oh, what's the matter?" Duke Li saw that Yi Lan was going to lie on the ground and said anxiously, "how can it hurt more after pinching?"

"I'm tired, Grandpa li..." Yi Lan held grandpa Li's hand: "we didn't even have a good rest all the way. Now we can see the border city. It's better for me to have a rest."

"You Xiang, it's not that the slave won't let you rest. Before going out, the emperor repeatedly asked the slave to rush to the border town as soon as possible. This border town is the gateway of the dry country. No one has heard from you for so long. Who knows what's going on inside. If something really happens, you'd better send a message to the emperor as soon as possible, right?"

"Now that we have seen the border town, we are not in a hurry. At this moment, I look around at the distance. I can't get there today. It's better to have a good rest in this inn, so as not to make those officers and men laugh." Yi Lan said, holding the back waist with one hand and walking briskly into the inn: "boss, two rooms, soft bed!"

"..." I see that I'm going to my destination. I have to have a rest here. What's the matter!

Duke Li stared at Yi Lan and spit angrily: "old thing, don't you deliberately delay time!"

……

Dark clouds cover the moon tonight, and the world is gray.

On the empty street, the wind mixed with fine groans shuttled through the street, like the cry of the soul of Jiuyou.

Accompanied by small groans, there came a deliberate light footsteps.

The sound was so light that it was almost inaudible covered by groans, and its speed was very fast, like a fine drum, from one end of the street to the other in an instant.

That is a man in black.

He was short and thin, just like a teenager. He covered his face, wrapped his head, bent over and walked carefully in the street. From time to time, he observed left and right, as if he were a smart and vigorous cat, shuttling quickly in the street.

At this time, the night is already deep, the guards on the streets have been removed, those who can sleep have fallen asleep, and those who can't sleep are only those struggling patients who are still whispering for an early end to such pain. They can't even get up and are not afraid at all.

The thin figure quickly passed through streets, through countless houses, and finally came to a corner of the border city.

This is a corner near the city wall, some distance from the folk houses. It is very empty. There is nothing beside it, only a water well.

The well is surrounded by a circle of green bricks, with a shelf and an old bucket hanging on it. However, the bucket is very neat and there is no accumulated moss on the green bricks. It must be that the well is often used.

The man in black came to the well and looked around cautiously. Then he took out a gourd shaped white porcelain vase from his sleeve.

When he opened it, it was white powder. He looked around and made sure there was no one. Then he quickly poured the things in the white porcelain bottle into the well.

White powder floated from the wellhead and sprinkled into the well water.

The lips of the man in black hiding under the black veil smiled viciously. When he was relieved, suddenly a gust of wind blew past.

The wind came fiercely, and it swept from bottom to top without warning.

With the white powder about to fall into the well, he jumped out of the wellhead.

The strong wind blew on his face, and the black yarn was torn in two.

His stiff crooked head avoided the tragedy of his head. Only a slender scar was left on his face, and blood was seeping out.

Ignoring the scar on his face, he suddenly looked back.

The dark clouds of the closed moon floated away slowly, and the moonlight Qinghui enveloped the earth again. A full moon hung in the sky, enveloping heaven and earth into a bright moonlight. In that Qinghui, someone stood proudly in a corner of the roof.

His body is like a bamboo, standing like a pine, holding a mass of white powder between his slightly stretched five fingers, which is the poison he has just sprinkled into the well water.

He is at least ten meters away from the wellhead. He can roll away the poisonous powder at such a long distance. It can be seen that he has profound skills.

Frightened, the man in black turned and ran away.

"Elder martial brother, don't let him run away!"

The green figure in front of me flashed.

The man in black looked up and saw that the man standing on the roof had been blocked in front of him. He held a plain bamboo pole in his hand and the powder in one hand. His eyes were cold and lukewarm. He just looked at him blandly, which made people feel endless horror from the bottom of his heart.

The power was too strong. It was the suppression of absolute strength. His legs and feet softened and his knees bent involuntarily.

He subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of water, forced himself to calm down, and suddenly turned around and threw out a handful of powder.

Zhuqing uttered a disdainful sneer, lifted her hand gently, and threw out a handful of powder.

The strong wind took the powder, threw it on the black man's face and patted him out.

The man in black fell to the ground and spewed out a mouthful of blood. He didn't hesitate to turn and run. Unexpectedly, he just moved two steps and a bamboo pole appeared in front of him.

One end of the bamboo pole is flat. It looks nothing special, but it feels so dangerous to him. He subconsciously retreats back, but he is held by the bamboo pole around his neck.

"Move again and I'll cut off your head."

The man in black was frightened and really didn't dare to move again.

"Elder martial brother, have you caught him?" Lin Yi walked over calmly, looked at the man, and frowned: "how is it you?"
