Six Gods

Chapter 36 Returning to Linquan
The sound of the horse's hooves falling rapidly gradually became calmer.

Amidst the rustling sound, the horse carrying Xiang Yuan and his party hoofed out of the rugged and winding path.

"dismount."

With a low voice, Zhao Xian took the lead to dismount and tied his own horse to a small tree beside him.

Amidst the sound of turning over intensively, Xiang Yuan and the others also set up the horses, and then walked to the outside of Linquan City, about a few hundred meters away from the city gate.

Standing and looking at the gate of Linquan City, Zhao Xian unconsciously bit the jade hairpin in his mouth.

"Aren't we going into the city?" Seeing that Zhao Xian had been standing there looking at Linquan City without saying a word, the tall woman with a slightly ordinary appearance asked doubtfully.

Looking at Linquan City, Zhao Xian shook his head without looking back:
"If you don't go in, you can find a place to rest on your own, and then enter the city tomorrow morning."

Obviously he rushed to Linquan City in such a hurry, but he had to wait until tomorrow to enter the city.

Zhao Xian's inexplicable arrangement made the three of Xiang Yuan frown greatly.

What is he looking at?
Finding a big tree as thick as two people and sitting down, Xiang Yuan slightly tilted his head to look at Zhao Xian who had been watching Linquan City.

The focused expression and serious eyes of this aristocratic child showed that he seemed to be observing something secretly.

Looking up at Linquan City not far away where there were only a few large flags swaying in the wind, Xiang Yuan also cast some gazes.

But from his point of view, there is nothing weird at all.

Perhaps he has a special way of observation.

Xiang Yuan withdrew his gaze, slowly closed his eyes to rest his mind, and kept energetic to deal with any accident that happened at any time.

It's just that he was in such a dangerous area, so he didn't dare to really just fall asleep like this.

Although the eyes are closed, the ears keep paying attention to the surrounding movement, just in case.

Looking sideways at the three of Xiang Yuan who had already closed their eyes and fell asleep, Zhao Xian sneered in his heart, pulled out the jade hairpin from his mouth, and rubbed it casually on his clothes.

"How? That thing is still there."

Walking to Zhao Xian's side, the chubby Zhao Gui took out a green jujube from a small cloth bag hanging around his waist and handed it to his younger brother.

"Well, it's still there."

Taking the green jujube and taking a big bite, the juice splashed everywhere, Zhao Xian casually wiped his mouth with his sleeve:
"Tomorrow morning, we will go to the advanced city to find out the specific location.

If things go well, we should be able to make it back in time. "

"This is the best way, this is our last chance. If we fail this time, we can only stay in the foreign race honestly, and my mother's illness..."

Hearing his brother's words, Zhao Xian crushed the jujube in his hand, and the juice splashed on his face:
"Don't worry, I won't fail this time!"

……

In the early morning of the vertical day, when the sunlight penetrated the leaves above his head, it fell on Xiang Yuan's eyelids.

Xiang Yuan, who did not fall asleep until dawn, slowly sat up from the ground, shrugged his shoulders, and made a crackling sound from his body.

"It's almost time, ready to enter the city."

Not long after Xiang Yuan woke up here, the Zhao brothers, who had gone somewhere, got out of the jungle on one side, looked around, and kicked the sleeping scholar awake at his feet.

Rubbing his sleepy eyes, although he was not very willing in his heart, but under the power of the Zhao brothers, the scholar got up from the ground obediently and walked towards Linquan City.

A group of people came to the gate of Linquan City, and the two guards were leaning on the gate with official knives and chatting, as if they didn't see a few people, and they didn't intend to come forward for interrogation at all.

The guards didn't move, and Xiang Yuan and the others were naturally not troublesome, and just entered Linquan City without hindrance.

After an absence of more than three years, as soon as he entered Linquan City, Xiang Yuan could clearly feel the changes in the city.

More deadly, more penetrating.

I saw that the streets of Linquan City were empty and lonely, and there was hardly a living person in sight.

The whole city is like a dead city, lifeless at all.

Unexpectedly, in three years, Linquan City turned into this appearance.

Xiang Yuan's heart is serious, it seems that the strange things in this city still exist...

Going deep along the streets of Linquan City, it took a while for the group to see a few living people in twos and threes, but everyone was in a hurry with something bulging in their arms.

"Why is this city like this?"

Turning his head and looking around at the surrounding streets, the round-faced scholar looked uncomfortable.

As the only one among the five who has no strength to restrain a chicken, he will definitely be the first to be hit in case of any accident.

Therefore, facing the strange environment of Linquan City, he was also the first to express doubts.

"Don't ask if you shouldn't."

Ignoring the terrified question of the round-faced scholar, Zhao Xian gave a low drink without looking back, and continued to lead the group towards the west of Linquan City.

Being reprimanded by Zhao Xian, the round-faced scholar blushed. Although there was displeasure in his eyes, he didn't dare to argue with Zhao Xian, so he just lowered his head and continued to follow the team.

After groping around the city for a long time, after finally finding two passers-by to ask for directions, the group finally arrived at the entrance of a house that looked very wealthy but revealed a strange eerie look.

He took out a pocket watch-like thing from his bosom, gestured at the house for a while, Zhao Xian and Zhao Gui nodded as if they looked at each other.

"It's here."

Putting the small pocket watch away, Zhao Xian took off the jade hairpin from his mouth, and poked lightly at the gate of the house.

As soon as the original sapphire-colored jade hairpin touched the gate of the house, the eyes of the carved phoenix head on the tail of the jade hairpin suddenly lit up with a frightening shade of green.

Seeing the dark green light on the jade hairpin's phoenix head, Zhao Xian slightly raised a smile at the corner of his mouth.

"Sure enough."

Putting the jade hairpin in his mouth again, Zhao Xian turned around and said to Xiang Yuan and the others behind him:

"The reason for bringing you here, I think you all know something.

My elder brother and I are both members of the Zhao family, and this trip is for an assessment within the clan.

This assessment is very important to us two brothers, as long as you can help us successfully complete this assessment.

What I promise you will be done. "

"What exactly do you want us to do for you?" A pair of beautiful eyebrows stared at Zhao Xian, the only woman present, boxing master Zhao Jihong asked.

"I will tell you the specifics at that time. Find a place to rest now, and we will act after nightfall.

Remember, I don't want any surprises for this assessment.

If something unpleasant happens, you must know better than me what the consequences will be. "

Looking past Zhao Jihong's face, Zhao Xian's eyes slowly fixed on Xiang Yuan who had been silent all this time.

Sensing Zhao Xian's gaze, Xiang Yuan, who was watching the house in front of him, looked back sideways.

"Let's go."

As soon as Xiang Yuan's eyes met and they left, Zhao Xian snorted coldly and took the lead to walk forward.

guard against me?
Hearing Zhao Xian's deep cold snort, Xiang Yuan's eyes moved, but he didn't say anything.

Leaving the weird house that was about to become the location of the mission, they came to the door of an inn with a closed door and a sign hanging high.

Unscrupulously twisting off the big brass lock on the door knocker, Zhao Xian pushed open the door of the inn.

The door was pushed open, and the wind blowing up a thick layer of dust flew towards the door.

The dust that hit his face made the round-faced scholar cough violently.

"Just rest here."

There are thick dusty inns everywhere, which have been empty for a long time.

Except for some large items that could not be moved away, there was not even a single bench left in the entire inn lobby.

"I'll go upstairs and have a look."

After explaining something, Xiang Yuan slowly walked up the stairs to the second floor.

Looking up at the warrior who went upstairs, Zhao Xian opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but then he seemed to give up again.

In the corridor on the second floor, the doors of all the guest rooms were wide open, and everything in the room was moved as clean as the lobby on the first floor, except for the two rooms in the innermost corridor on the second floor.

"Is there blood?"

Standing at the door of the last guest room, Xiang Yuan's gaze was attracted by a pool of blood in the room.

Since this room is located at the innermost part of the corridor, it hardly receives any sunlight. At the same time, there is only one window on the north side of the whole room, so the whole room looks much colder and damper.

The things in the whole room have not been removed, even some scattered dishes and dishes are left on the table, and the bedding on the bed is also messy.

Going closer and squatting down, looking at the completely dried and blackened blood on the ground, Xiang Yuan felt a faint chill on the back of his spine.

It seems that this inn should have happened three years ago...

The dried blood on the ground made Xiang Yuan clearly recall the strange incident that happened in this city three years ago.

He stood up, left this room, and came to another room next to this room.

This room did not have any bloodstains or abnormalities. Xiang Yuan guessed that when the innkeeper was moving things, he was afraid of getting close to the blood-stained room, so he simply didn't even want the things in the next room.

"looking at what?"

Standing in the corridor thinking, Xiang Yuan suddenly heard a question.

Looking sideways at Zhao Jihong who was walking over, Xiang Yuan shook his head:

"It's nothing, it's still early in the night, why don't you take a rest?"

"At this juncture, who still wants to rest."

Arms folded against the wall of the corridor, Zhao Jihong's face was not a sign, her lips were thin, and her eyes were slender, giving off a very fierce look.

However, practicing martial arts all the year round has also made her have a very good figure. Unlike Xiang Yuan, who has big muscles, Zhao Jihong's figure is not a King Kong Barbie, but round and sensual.

Especially those slender long legs, set off by his close-fitting white trousers, look very attractive!
Compared with those slender women, Zhao Jihong's plump and sensual figure is more in line with Xiang Yuan's aesthetics from the new century.
