Chapter 251 A Back View

"Brother, are you saying that Alliance Leader Jiang came to see you just now?"

On Luoyi Street, Tang Jiao asked with eyes wide open in surprise.

Fu Qingzhou smiled and said, "Is it strange? I am your elder brother and I am quite respectable now."

"Brother is so awesome!" Tang Jiao gave him a thumbs up.

The two of them washed up and felt refreshed. Luoyi was in a bustling night market at that time, so how could they not come and have a look?

Since he was just shopping, Fu Qingzhou deliberately didn't carry the bow. Firstly, it was inconvenient, and secondly, it was too conspicuous. Now that he was somewhat famous, he would rather avoid trouble if possible.

But the streets were full of gangsters, so he still brought a long sword.

This knife was not the one brought out from Fanyin Temple, but was bought on the way to Luoyi. It cannot be considered a magic weapon, but it was forged by a famous blacksmith and is quite tough.

The two followed the aroma of the street to a food street, and finally found a small square table in the crowd. Only then were they able to sit down and enjoy some local Luoyi snacks.

"The things you ordered are here——"

Xiao Er carried the food tray with nimble steps, walked through the crowd, and placed the food in front of Fu Qingzhou and Tang Jiao swiftly.

"Fragrant Peony Cake, Emerald Tofu Pudding, White Cloud Dragon Valley Soup—and this, Grotto Sugar Man!"

Pa pa pa, bowls and plates of food were placed out, making Tang Jiao's eyes light up.

Even Fu Qingzhou's eyes lit up!
The so-called Fragrant Peony Cake, as its name suggests, looks like a blooming peony flower with wavy edges and a stamen made of brown sugar and petals in the center.

The pancake is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with a light wheat and floral aroma. The brown sugar stamens are sweet but not greasy, forming a sharp contrast with the taste of the pancake.

The so-called emerald tofu pudding is a bowl of white and tender tofu pudding, topped with a yellow sauce and sprinkled with some chopped green coriander and red chili shreds.

The tofu pudding is smooth and delicious, and the marinade is tasty. After sucking it into the mouth, the tongue cannot hold it and can only let it slide diagonally into the stomach, so you can only look forward to the next bite impatiently.

That Baiyun Longyu Soup...

Since Fu Qingzhou came to this world, he has never eaten these things!

The best he had ever eaten were chicken, duck, fish and meat!

These exquisitely made and delicious snacks made him feel like he was back in time...

Fu Qingzhou was eating happily, but when he raised his head, he saw Tang Jiao quietly wiping her tears while eating.

"What's wrong?" He was slightly stunned.

Tang Jiao pursed her lips, wiped away her tears, and whispered, "Brother, I miss my father... He brought this candy man back to Beijing when he went to Luoyi for work..."

Fu Qingzhou smiled gently: "Don't worry, after we finish our work here, we will go to Beijing."

Tang Jiao's eyes suddenly lit up: "Really?!"

"of course it's true."

Fu Qingzhou smiled and said, "Brother, I remember it all. I want to redress your father's grievances. When Brother Yue and I parted at the fork in the road, I saw the look in your eyes when you looked towards the capital."

Tang Jiao's eyes were misty again, but this time it made her smile even brighter: "Brother is so nice."

"In fact, we should have gone a long time ago." Fu Qingzhou said softly, "The matter of Fanyin Temple has been delayed for too long... After delivering Senior Zuo's ashes to her family, and then taking a look at the Hidden Dragon Hundred Heroes Meeting, we can go to the capital."

Tang Jiao nodded vigorously.

At this moment, Fu Qingzhou was suddenly startled.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a figure holding a cane and staggering forward in the crowd. He subconsciously felt that it was a bit strange, but he couldn't tell what was strange.

But he trusted his intuition, immediately frowned and stood up abruptly.

"What's wrong, brother?" Tang Jiao looked confused.

"I think I saw someone I know..." Fu Qingzhou narrowed his eyes and said, "I have a bad feeling. I have to go and take a look."

Tang Jiao was surprised: "Do you need my help?"

"Need not."

Fu Qingzhou whispered, "If I guessed right, it would be dangerous for you to follow me - Jiaojiao, go back to the inn first. If I don't come back in two hours, go and inform Alliance Leader Jiang immediately."

Tang Jiao looked slightly serious: "I understand, big brother." As she spoke, Fu Qingzhou had already left his seat and squeezed into the crowd.

His eyes were fixed on the figure walking slowly in the crowd, hanging far behind him.

He was very sure that he had never seen this "cripple" before, but if this was a person in disguise, it would be a different story.

Normally, such an inconspicuous guy in the crowd would not attract his attention at all.

But... when Fu Qingzhou saw that figure from behind, all the muscles in his body tensed up!

Others can't recognize it, but he can!

This guy is most likely Wu Yan!
Back then, he fought with Wu Yan for two nights in the ruined temple. The opponent's terrifying and tricky sword skills and body movements almost pushed him into a desperate situation... Fu Qingzhou could never forget it!
Even if he only caught a glimpse of the figure's shoulders moving, he was already somewhat certain.

And when Fu Qingzhou followed for several hundred steps, his certainty was already at its peak!
Although the two were separated by a crowd and a long distance, the lame man clearly realized something and began to quicken his pace.

Fu Qingzhou sneered and secretly quickened his pace.

Soon, they left the most prosperous and lively night market streets.

There are fewer and fewer roadside lanterns and fewer and fewer shops open to customers.

Before I knew it, the light on the road changed from lamplight to candlelight, and then from candlelight to moonlight.

There were fewer and fewer people on the street, until only the two of them were left.

When the lame man stopped, there was a small river in front of him.

Across the river is a small courtyard with dim lights, and the bustling scene of the night market is reflected on the roofs in the distance.

"Not leaving?"

Fu Qingzhou stood far away, holding the handle of his long sword with his right hand, and said loudly: "As a cripple, are you walking too fast?"

The "cripple" slowly turned around, stretched out his hand and wiped his face in a very bachelor manner, revealing Wu Yan's face.

A few months ago, he had his ear ripped off by Fu Qingzhou's arrow. Now, the ear had somehow returned to its original place, leaving only a very obvious scar.

"It's really you."

Fu Qingzhou sneered: "You're not going to hold on for a while? You're just going to show your face right away?"

"Today's mission has nothing to do with you." Wu Yan said calmly: "Don't cause any trouble."

Fu Qingzhou sighed and approached step by step: "I promised Brother Hua that I would ensure peace at this conference... but if you Xiyu Pavilion come, there will be no peace."

Wu Yan gently lifted the crutch in his hand and shook it.

The next second, the wooden crutch suddenly shattered, and the wood pieces fell to the ground, revealing the rapier hidden in the crutch.

He held the rapier horizontally, his tone still calm: "You are no match for me."

Fu Qingzhou laughed: "Things are different now, Brother Wu Yan!"

As soon as the word "brother" fell to the ground, he came to about twenty steps in front of Wu Yan, and instantly drew his sword and attacked!

The sword that subdues demons and cuts off karma!

Facing Wu Yan, he didn't dare to be arrogant at all, and he used his strongest swordsmanship right away!
The sword energy flew into the air, the cold light splashed, and Wu Yan's calm eyes also showed a little surprise.

In a flash, he lowered his head and saw that his hand holding the sword was trembling slightly.

The sword that subdues demons and kills karma, when facing the enemy, the blade has not yet arrived, the gentleman is frightened!
There was no fear on Wu Yan's face, but his body had reacted naturally.

But even when faced with a knife that was powerful enough to split him in half... he suddenly turned around and leaped forward.

In the small river, an inconspicuous small boat was floating slowly. On the deck, a boatman wearing a conical hat was rowing the boat with a kerosene lamp at his feet. His eyes were looking towards the small courtyard on the other side of the river.

The next second, the boatman seemed to realize something and looked up in surprise.

Suddenly, a man appeared on the river bank, stabbing towards me with a rapier in his hand!

Not only that, there was another person behind him, holding a long sword in both hands, and also chopped towards the air!
