The efficiency of Suzaku Pavilion's work has to be said to be really efficient.

As soon as Xiao Ningming landed outside Mingdu City, he saw a familiar face leading two horses waiting for him in the bushes.

"Sword Immortal." Seeing Xiao Ningming approaching, the man hurriedly bowed to him respectfully, then took a stack of clothes from the horse and handed them to him, "The wedding clothes are dazzling, and I'm not comfortable traveling. Sword Immortal changed into clothes and came with me." Fine."

Xiao Ningming felt a little strange. The person in front of him had a face and figure very similar to Liu Zihe's, but he was not Liu Zihe. The most obvious feature was that his face was clean, without Liu Zihe's scary scar.

The man looked at Xiao Ningming and looked at himself for a long time, only to realize that he was impolite and forgot to introduce himself, and quickly said: "My name is Fu Wuming, and I am one of the ten shadows. The pavilion master must return to the Vermillion Bird Pavilion first if he has something to do. In the midst of this, I am specially ordered to come down to protect the Sword Immortal."

Only then did Xiao Ningming understand and nodded slightly: "Did your pavilion master also order you to disguise yourself as him?"

There was no expression on Fu Wuming's face, and he still replied respectfully: "Hui Jianxian, this is my original appearance. The only one who is good at disguise is my junior brother Fu Wurong."

"Your original appearance?" Xiao Ningming was a little surprised. Fu Wuming's appearance was almost [-]% similar to Liu Zihe's. If this was really his original appearance, it would not be surprising to say that he is Liu Zihe's brother.

"Yes, the Ten Shadows are selected from those who are very close to the pavilion master in appearance, so that they can replace the truth with the fake to protect the life of the pavilion master in danger." Fu Wuming said, "These are the ancestors of the Zhuque Pavilion. The rules established made the Sword Immortal find it strange."

"No wonder, I just find it novel and unheard of before." Xiao Ningming saw that Fu Wuming had reported the clothes in his hands for a long time, so he took them over to thank him, and then found a secret place to change into this happy outfit.

Before leaving, he did not forget to ignite a little fire with his fingertips, which burned the wedding dress until it was blackened and turned into ashes.

Xiao Ningming headed north all the way under the escort of Fu Wuming. Perhaps because of his recovery, their speed became extremely fast, and their horses were also very strong. Within three days, the two of them had already rushed to the On the border of Nanzhao, near the land of Bashu.

The Ten Shadows may have been influenced by Liu Zihe, and their personalities are somewhat similar to him. Fu Wuming kept talking along the way, but he grasped the measure of intimacy. Had some fun.

Fu Wuming told him a lot about Zhuque Pavilion, which made Xiao Ningming understand Liu Zihe a step further.

Although Liu Zihe is good at calculation, every step and every step of his is thinking about the future of Zhuque Pavilion. Now he is still in his prime, but he still made a will early and made a new pavilion for the latter to succeed him. The master only chooses.

It is because they are afraid that there will be unexpected events in the sky. If they are not fully prepared, a small accident can wipe out a great sect of the immortal family.

When Fu Wuming talked about this, he suddenly stopped talking.

Xiao Ning knew that Fu Wuming was afraid that he would inadvertently bring the topic to Ling Xiaomen, so she didn't make things difficult for him, but just listened silently.

"I don't think it's getting too early, Sword Immortal, why don't we rest here now." Fu Wuming led him to the door of a small inn.

The two of them left Nanzhao in a hurry for the past three days, and the rest time on the way was less than six hours. Even if people could bear it, the Maxima under their feet began to feel a little powerless.

This is on the border of Nanzhao and Bashu, more like a land without jurisdiction.

Although it is a good thing to have an inn to rest, but who knows whether this kind of inn that survives in the cracks is good or bad?

Xiao Ningming originally wanted to drive harder for a while and enter Bashu quickly, but he also felt that the horse under his seat was a little panting.

Fu Wuming didn't have much rations for the horses, but now it's even more expensive.Xiao Ningming had no choice but to follow Fu Wuming and dismount before the inn.

Approaching the inn, there is only one waiter and the proprietress inside.

Few people seem to care about the inn, dust and spider webs are everywhere, and the proprietress looks like a lazily sleeping on a dining table. The waiter behind the counter seems to be settling accounts.

Seeing someone coming, his dull eyes suddenly regained energy, picked up the dishcloth on the table, put it on his shoulder and shouted loudly: "Hey! There is a guest! You should stay in the hotel if you are a guest officer!"

Xiao Er's cry startled the proprietress who was still asleep. She quickly woke up from the dining table, thinking that a robber had broken in, and slammed the table: "Robbery! Let me see who would dare to rob?"

Xiao Ningming was so frightened that they stood at the door of the inn and neither entered nor retreated.

The proprietress doesn't look very old, Mo Yue is in her early thirties.Like the shop waiter, she has a teasing Bashu accent in her mouth.Since they are all from Bashu, Fu Wuming found a fellow villager, and hurriedly stepped forward and said in Bashu dialect: "No one is robbing, we just want to rest here for one night, I wonder if there is any room available?"

"Empty room, you can get it!" The waiter glanced at the proprietress complainingly, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask the two to sit down. He quickly cleared a table, and then ran upstairs, "Guests first Sit here for a while, I'll go up and clean up!"

Xiao Ningming smiled and nodded at Xiaoer, and sat on the stool with Fu Wuming to rest.

The proprietress also woke up completely from the dream at this time, she brought some drinks and peanuts on the table of the two of them in embarrassment, and said with a smile: "There are very few people coming and going here, I didn't expect a rare visitor to come today, Judging from the direction the two young masters came from, they came from Nanzhao?"

"That's right, we're doing some living in Nanzhao, and now that we're done, we're going back to Bashu." Fu Wuming said without thinking.

Everyone knows that there are groups of demon cultivators in Nanzhao. Although this kind of inn built in the middle is likely to be a black-hearted business place, if people from Nanzhao come, they probably won't welcome them.

Fu Wuming deliberately said that they were helping others in Nanzhao. First, he showed his identity as a native of Bashu, but indirectly told the proprietress that they also worked hard for others and had no money at all. It's better to let go of any crooked thoughts.

The proprietress is a businessman, so of course she could hear what he was saying, so she smiled and sat in the empty seat next to the two of them, and poured some wine for them: "How to survive? The two gentlemen were born with delicate skin and tender flesh. It’s not like someone who makes a living.”

"Oh, I was tricked to go there too." Fu Wuming sighed, looking at his expression, he seemed to have been deceived by something, "I thought Nanzhao people were easy to cheat, so I rushed over all the way, but I didn't expect to suffer in the end It's still me."

"It's true, those Nanzhao people have a lot of ideas! Some time ago, a Nanzhao woman came to my hotel, and the next day I didn't pay the money, and she disappeared! It made me so angry!" After listening to Fu Wuming's words, the proprietress nodded empathetically and shared her own experience.

She had a disgusted expression on her face, as if mentioning Nanzhao people, she didn't like it very much.

"Nanzhao woman? What kind of woman is she?" Xiao Ningming grasped the point of her words. The road between Nanzhao and the Central Plains was blocked, and very few people were able to enter Bashu from Nanzhao, and most of them were regarded as smuggled immigrants.

And Nanzhao has experienced too many things in the past few days, Lin Che has long ordered people to guard the surroundings of Nanzhao, in order to stop these demon cultivators who want to slip away from Nanzhao.

But to be able to run away from under Lin Che's nose, and she was a woman, it could only be the Nanzhao Saintess Anuya who disappeared before the Yaoren army attacked the city.

"Judging from this son's accent, he doesn't look like a Bashu person." The proprietress grabbed the melon seeds on the plate, knocked them in her mouth, and looked Xiao Ningming up and down.

"Just like me, he was also tricked into going to Nanzhao. We ran out together and were companions on the way home." Fu Wuming quickly explained for Xiao Ningming. It may be that Fu Wuming's Bashu dialect is too pure. Dispelled the proprietress' doubts.

She snorted softly and explained: "I didn't see her face clearly. That woman was wearing a black gauze all the time, and she was wearing very revealing clothes. Although the weather is approaching summer, she was also dressed too coolly... People blush."

The proprietress spat out the melon seeds, and continued to think: "Anyway, that woman looks quite special. If she is standing in the crowd now, I can recognize her... By the way, I don't know if she is a woman. How much face powder did I buy, when she just walked to the door of the store, I was already overwhelmed by the fragrance of her body."

After listening to the proprietress' description, Xiao Ningming was able to confirm that the woman who stayed here a while ago was Anuya.

This shows that she was not kidnapped and framed and disappeared, but she left Nanzhao on her own initiative.

Could it be that she was summoned by Gan Huaiyi when she left Nanzhao?

At this moment, the shop waiter also seemed to have prepared the room, trotted down from upstairs and shouted: "Guest officers, the guest room is ready, do you want to go and see?"

Xiao Ningming and Fu Wuming were also tired from the journey, so they nodded in agreement and walked up.

Coming to the guest room on the second floor, although it looks a bit dilapidated, it is barely livable.

"Sword Immortal, let's rest for one night and leave early tomorrow morning. Although this store looks ordinary, there may be fraud in it." Fu Wuming inspected the surroundings of the room and sat down after confirming that there was nothing unusual. , "Just now the proprietress looked at me strangely. She looks enthusiastic on the surface, and she may be thinking of something in her heart."

Xiao Ningming agreed with Fu Wuming's words very much, and he also noticed that the proprietress had been staring at Fu Wuming's face just now, except that she looked him up and down when he was talking, she was observing Fu Wuming the rest of the time.

"The proprietress and the waiter are not like monks. How they built an inn in such a dangerous place is really unpredictable." Xiao Ningming walked to the window, observing the deserted scene outside, couldn't help but smack tongue.

"Maybe they have their own way to gain a foothold here, Sword Immortal, we still have to be careful. I promised like the pavilion master that I will send you safely to Bashu."
