At that time, the sun was gradually setting in the west. The autumn afternoon sun shone warmly on a wide bluestone road by the river.
The quiet and long limestone road was lined with poplar trees on both sides. As the autumn wind blew, the withered leaves of the poplar trees fell in patches. It added a bit of bleakness to this lazy autumn day.
Under a thick white poplar tree, Yu Qi stood tall and handsome, holding his sword.
In the past week, Yu Qi had improved a lot. Not only had he grown a dozen centimeters taller, reaching 1.85 meters, but his physical fitness had also improved a lot. Moreover, the first move of the Regal Sword Technique was almost complete, and he could no longer absorb more Innate Purple Qi for cultivation.
Suddenly, not far away, Yu Qi saw the Ji siblings carrying large and small packages. They seemed relaxed as they walked over, chatting and laughing. Perhaps they had also suddenly noticed Yu Qi, and a strange expression appeared on their faces. In the end, the young man named Ji walked over with his sister.
Ji walked over with a smile."Brother Yu, I haven't seen you for a few days.”
Yu Sheng smiled and said," I recently made a breakthrough in an external technique!”
Looking at Ji Wei, who was looking at him a little shyly, Yu Qi replied,"I am Yu Qi!"
"Brother Yu, you didn't go to town? The town is still very lively!" Ji Ling said.
At this moment, Ji Wei, who was dressed in a green feather yellow shirt, had a pretty and lively expression. She held the Emei thorn in her left hand and a sugar figurine in her right hand. She approached and smiled."That's right. There's a lot of delicious food in town.”
Seeing the girl's curved eyebrows, her jade-like forehead, and the beads of sweat on her cheeks, the loneliness in Yu Qi's heart lessened a little.
Now that his strength had increased, he should be far stronger than these two siblings, so he was not worried that they would covet his divine sword or have other improper thoughts.
Thus, he relaxed his body and mind. A smile appeared in his warm eyes as he said with a teasing tone,"So, this is the reason why Miss Ji asked Brother Ji to carry so many bags.”
Ji Wei looked at the bags in her brother Ji Ling's hands, especially the bags that were mostly filled with snacks. Her delicate and fair face flushed red, but when she turned to look at Yu Qi's half-smile, she immediately felt embarrassed and angry. She snorted arrogantly and said,"Can't you talk nicely?”
Ji Ling only smiled and didn't say anything as he watched his little sister's mischievous and angry behavior.
Ji Ling looked at the ship in the distance and asked,"Brother Yu, have you heard when this ship will depart?"”
Yu Qi looked up at the sky and said uncertainly,"About an hour."
At this point, Yu Qi suddenly received an emergency warning in his mind. His expression changed as he said,"Not good!"
At this moment, the siblings saw Yu Qi's serious gaze and bad expression. Ji Wei asked curiously,"What's wrong?"
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves stepping on bluestone could be heard from afar, as well as shouts.
"Brother Ji, it looks like trouble has arrived." Yu Qi said coldly.”
Ji Ling's expression changed slightly as well. He said,""Brother Yu, we siblings also have a murder case. We can't stay here for long. There's also a favor to take care of!"
Yu Qi frowned slightly, but he quickly nodded!
Feng Yi kept waving his whip and finally arrived at Qingji Town at Tingzhou Ferry after four hours.
Hearing this, Feng Yi was furious.
He did not expect that after some consideration before he left, he would bring less manpower.
Feng Yi knew that in the past few days, there had been a lot of things to do. He was so anxious that he did not think carefully about things.
Hence, he turned to Shi Hu and sternly ordered,""Then block the ships that are leaving today.”
Shi Hu heard the anger in Feng Yi's words and did not dare to say anything more. He cupped his hands and bowed, then led four or five soldiers to the ferry.
The man received the order and rode his horse to the Huo Manor.
The five or six elite soldiers behind him all had solemn expressions on their faces. They drew their sabers and shouted,"I'm willing to serve you."
Feng Yi looked at the soldiers behind him who were full of spirit and vigor, and he was very satisfied.
Although Ba Shu was not like the northern countries that had been through many battles, it was still a small place. However, these ten or so people under him were elite soldiers trained in the army. Usually, he would use a large amount of money to support them. Rather than saying that they were government troops, it was better to say that they were their own private soldiers.
These thoughts flashed through Feng Yi's mind. The cold light in Feng Yihu's eyes became even colder. He didn't waste any more words and led his soldiers to the ferry.
Yu Qi and Ji Ling exchanged glances and said decisively,"Brother Ji, we can't wait for the ship to set sail."
As they spoke, the three of them immediately looked at the small boats moored at the port. Without any hesitation, they ran towards one of the small boats.
Although the Han River was gentle, these small boats were only suitable for short distances, so Yu Qi and the others did not consider it at the beginning. However, he did not expect that after the ship was delayed, Yu Qi's whereabouts would be revealed to the government.
On the small boat, Ji Ling and his sister were negotiating with the owner of the boat. Yu Qi's eyes were looking around, looking into the distance.
At this moment, the soldiers had all boarded the ship to search. A young officer was leaning against the railing on the ship, listening to his subordinate's report. Suddenly, he glanced over and saw two men and a woman in the distance. They were on a small boat at the ferry crossing, negotiating with an old man wearing a bamboo hat.
Shi Hu's eyes widened as he gripped his saber tightly and roared,""They are there."
Yu Qi seemed to have sensed something and happened to see five or six soldiers rushing over under the lead of a young officer.
He turned to Ji Ling and said in a deep voice,"They're here."”
At this moment, the old man in the bamboo hat lowered his head and untied the rope. He was about to sail away when he suddenly saw Ji Ling and Yu Qi's strange expressions. He looked over and saw five or six soldiers with sabers in their hands rushing over.
