Chapter 29 Fire Soul Still Firm (3)

  The little water spirit clapped her hands and jumped up and down, laughing like a mischievous little girl, saying: "So much fun! So much fun!"

  Huǒ Xiǎo Xié shēn zǐ fān le fān, pán tuǐ zuò zài dì shàng, shǒu bì réng rán zài shēn hòu bǎng zhe, nǐn le nǐn yǐ jī suān téng de xià gā, kàn zhe Shuǐ Yāo ér mà dào: "Xiǎo Yāo Jīng Pó Zǐ! Rì hòu dìng ráo bù liǎo nǐ!"

  Shuiyao'er also leaned in, pointing at Huoxiao's nose and said: "I saved your life again! You still want to take revenge on me! You really are a heartless thing!"

  "Little demon, if you tease me again, I'll die right in front of you! Honestly, I have a suicidal technique that will make my eyes roll back and spew black blood all over you, turning me into a fierce ghost instantly! Do you believe it?"

  The Water Fairy giggled and said: "I don't believe it! I don't believe it! You think you can deceive me? You're a hundred years too early!"

  Huǒ Xiǎo ěi hummed and was about to retort back at Shuǐ Yāo ér, but then heard Yán Jǐng Tiān severely hush her, saying: "Don't speak!"

  Huǒ Xiǎo Yī Lèng, closed his mouth immediately. Shuǐ Yāo ér saw Yán Jǐng Tiān's serious expression and sharp eyes like a hawk, which was different from the silly look when he was teased by Shuǐ Yāo ér earlier. Shuǐ Yāo ér knew this was not child's play either, so she quickly followed Yán Jǐng Tiān's gaze.

  Yan Jing Tian crouched down, placing his hands on the ground, and slowly lifted up, saying: "There is a large group of people and horses that will be passing through the fork in the road below!"

  Yan Jing Tian stood up, looking down, letting the strong mountain wind blow, but his body didn't move at all, as if he was deeply rooted in the stone on the top of the mountain. Gradually, dense horseshoes and heavy wheel sounds came from afar, and after a while, the sound grew louder and louder. Looking down from the top of the mountain, I saw that a large group of people and horses rushed to the fork in the road, as well as three four-wheeled horse-drawn carriages carrying extremely large black iron boxes, also rushing over.

  Yan Jing Tian narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself: "Twenty-two people, forty-five horses."

  Shui Yao'er heard and saw, and hurriedly asked: "Yan Gege, your eyesight is really good!" The methods of the Huo family were something that Shui Yao'er couldn't help but admire!

  Yan Jing Tian said, "It's just a small trick of taking the plate! Water demon is overpraising! The two people at the head are Zhang Si and Mr. Zhou! Hehe, Zhang Si actually abandoned his family business in Fengtian City overnight and re-entered the Jianghu! Hum, besides the full set of hook soldiers, even the leopard dog was brought out together!"

  The Water Demon's expression changed slightly as he said, "Even that kind of monster was brought out? Is it the one in the black box on the horse carriage?"

  Yan Jing Tian nodded and said, "The Wind Chasing God Captors are not just a name! Except for never having directly confronted us, there's no thief in the world that they can't catch! If they were to release the leopard dogs now to search for us, we'd be in trouble!"

  The water nymph gazed intently, looking deeply troubled.

  Huǒ Xiǎo Yé sat on the ground, and could also see the scenery below the mountain. After hearing Yan Jing Tian say this, he didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

  At the fork in the road at the foot of the mountain, Mr. Zhou dismounted and examined it carefully, then turned to Zhang Siye and said: "Zhang Siye, they have split up and taken two roads! Judging from the hoof prints, they left less than an hour ago."

  "Mr. Zhou, let's divide our troops and pursue them in two separate routes!" said Zhang Siye.

  Mr. Zhou patted the horse's back and said, "Not good! We just left Fengtian City, and soon General Zhang and the Kwantung Army will know about it. It's not suitable to separate at this time! Since we've already left the city, it's best to avoid the storm as soon as possible! I think we should go together to Fengbo Villa in Tonghe Town to rest." The Fengbo Villa that Mr. Zhou mentioned was a large and secluded mansion in Tonghe Town owned by Zhang Siye, specifically used for temporary hiding purposes.

  Zhang Siye said: "We have a large number of people, and we are very conspicuous. We will probably alarm them. Why not release Da Zhouzi and San Zhouzi to chase us for a while?"

  Mr. Zhou said, "I don't think it's necessary to look anymore! Those few people, including Xiao Cui, Yan Jing Tian, and Huo Xiao Xie, no matter how powerful they are, have left their scent in our mansion, which I've already collected. Later, just let the hounds sniff it out, and we can catch them even if they flee!"

  "Good! Let's listen to Mr. Zhou!"

  "Turn back and shout: 'Brothers, all of you follow up!'"

  The crowd was about to set off, and one of the three large vehicles was being prepared.

  Suddenly, the carriage creaked and swayed violently, with low growls coming from inside. The coachman shouted: "Master Zhang, the Second Young Master is getting impatient! Please take a look!"

  Zhang Siye rode his horse back, came to the side of the vehicle, lifted an iron cover on the body of the vehicle, and shouted inside: "Erjiaozi, be quiet for a while, we'll let you out to have fun with us after walking for a while! Don't make trouble now!"

  The two bronze bell-sized eyes of the animal in the box blinked and growled twice before finally calming down.

  Zhang Siye closed the lid and shouted: "Go! Hurry up and get to Fengbo Village before dawn!"

  Horses neighed continuously, a group of people and horses rushed away in a cloud of dust.

  Yan Jing Tian watched Zhang Si Ye and the others rush away, his face as cold as frost, and said: "This Yu Feng Shen Bu, if it doesn't come out of Jiang Hu, then so be it. But once it comes out, its momentum is actually this astonishing! It's indeed just like what was rumored! Today, it seems we're in luck. Heh heh, I'm afraid this world is going to get even more interesting!"

  Shuiyao'er slowly said, "My father allowed me to steal the Linglong Mirror, could it be that he wanted to force them to come out of retirement? This Linglong Mirror, what's so special about it, that it can make Zhang Si give up his vast family business?"

  Yan Jing Tian said: "I don't know about this either. Shui Yao Er, is the Ling Long Mirror on you?"

  "The water demon child suddenly turned his hand over and took out a palm-sized mirror from the backpack behind him. "I've looked carefully, and there's nothing special about it. It seems to be just an ordinary copper mirror." The water demon child said, handing the mirror to Yan Jing Tian.

  Yan Jing Tian took it over, carefully measuring it. The mirror was quite ordinary, elliptical in shape, except for the exceptionally beautiful floral patterns carved on the edge of the mirror, and no jade or pearls were inlaid. As for the material, it was made of fine copper at most.

  Yan Jing Tian furrowed his brow and said, "Perhaps it's just that we're too inexperienced and can't see the earth-shattering secret within this mirror."

  The Water Goblin said: "I'll take it for my father, the Water King, to see."

  Yan Jing Tian returned the mirror to Shui Yao Er and said, "The Water King is knowledgeable and wise, he should be able to understand. However... Shui Yao Er, Zhang Si has already left the mountain and will definitely pursue you relentlessly, especially the leopard dog, it's extremely ferocious! You must be careful on this trip, otherwise..."

  Shuiyao'er smiled and said, "If Big Brother Yan doesn't mind, can you take me with you into the pass? I know you're going to Wangjia Village in Shanxi, and coincidentally my father should be wandering around Shanxi too." Shuiyao'er's words hit right on Yan Jing Tian's thoughts.

  Yan Jing Tian thought for a moment, then said: "Alright! Given the friendship between our two families, and you're just a little girl... Hehe, not a little girl, we also have a mutual understanding between us! Let's go now!"

  The little water demon jumped up, hooked around Yan Jing Tian's neck, and stuck tightly to him. She coquettishly said: "Big Brother Yan is so great! When I see my dad, I'll definitely say many good things about you!"

  Yan Jing Tian was at a loss, allowing the Water Demoness to hug him, and his words became stuttered: "Ai, Water Demoness, don't do this."

  Shui Yao'er relaxed her gaze on Yan Jing Tian, and her eyes fell on Huo Xiao Xie again. Huo Xiao Xie hummed a sound, also ignoring Shui Yao'er.

  The little water demon stroked his chin just like an adult and paced back and forth, saying: "What to do with this monkey?"

  "Who is the monkey!"

  Yan Jing Tian said: "This is indeed a bit of trouble, he has heard many of our things, let him go, I'm afraid there will be chaos. I think, give him a quick death, bury him in the mountain and that's it."

  Yan Shouyi suddenly jumped up one step, ready to take action.

  Huǒ Xiǎo Yé still hummed: "If you want to take action, hurry up, I also go to the underworld to see my several brothers! You let me go today, and I will find you to settle accounts!"

  Shuiyao'er grabbed Yan Jing Tian's arm and said, "Yan big brother, why don't we just bring this monkey along? With his skills, he can't escape within three feet of us. I'll have some fun playing with him on the way!"

  "Little demon! Kill me quickly!"

  Yan Jing Tian thought for a moment and said: "Alright! Let's keep him then!"

  Yan Shou's sense of justice was strong, but he also didn't dare to act rashly.
