Zhao Jiangui is just about to climb up to the carriage.
Ji Han, "Wait."
Zhao Jiangui turns his head to look at him.
Ji Han says indifferently, "I don"t want other people gossiping. Since Zhao Daxia"s qinggong is so good, you can just follow the carriage running."
Zhao Jiangui, "..."
He is forced to watch helplessly as Ji Han gets into the carriage, clenching his teeth.
...
Zhao Jiangui surveys the view of the top of the carriage for the first time.
Chasing the carriage on foot is honestly a tiring affair. The first half a shichen,* he had still been obediently chasing the carriage running, afterwards he just climbed up onto the carriage"s roof, and raised his long robe to sit down, without regard for a warrior"s face.
Besides, this Demon Head seems to be taking pains to provoke him.
They have already circled this street three rounds, the Demon Head appears to be tired of playing around, thus the carriage stops once more, returning to the small town.
Zhao Jiangui, "..."
The horse is panting hard, the driver has also been bearing the scorching sun shining down, his whole face streaming with sweat.
Zhao Jiangui"s clothing already doesn"t look as pure white, his bound hair is also not as neat as it had been.
Ji Han is extremely satisfied coming down from the carriage, shaking an elegant folding fan in his hand.
Zhao Jiangui is already a little bit irritated.
He suppresses the anger in his heart, asks Ji Han, "Why have we come back?"
Ji Han says, "I suddenly remembered I still hadn"t eaten."
Zhao Jiangui, "..."
Fine, he clearly just want to mess with him.
...
The inn"s waiter sees that a few people have come in, seeming very surprised.
Ji Han had only just ordered the same dishes and fine liquor.
Zhao Jiangui sits coldly at his side.
He still hadn"t had time to drink a mouthful of water, and someone hurriedly rushed over.
That person stands in front of their table, expression anxious, "Zhao-xiong, leave quickly!"
The person who had come is actually Baoshan Daxia Jin Beiguo.
Zhao Jiangui can"t help but stop and stare dazedly.
He had just said malicious words about Baoshan Daxia, his heart is unavoidably a bit guilty, moreover that little matter had completely not happened, only that he and Baoshan Daxia are considered good friends. He had just remembered his name first in his mind, casually taken and used it.
Ji Han frowns at Jin Beiguo, sweeping a glance over him, asks, "Who are you."
Jin Beiguo already seems like he doesn"t have enough time to talk much, "The Haoran Alliance says you killed the Alliance Leader"s** top disciple, these days without exception there are more than a few people pursuing your whereabouts, just now someone said you appeared in this inn, there are already not just a few people running over."
Zhao Jiangui, "..."
This move is also to the martial world"s seniors agreement, for the sake of making this drama seem even more genuine.
Ji Han obviously ignores Jin Beiguo"s words and extremely resentfully, he can"t bear but ask again, "Who are you, what do you want."
Jin Beiguo is forced to reply, "I"m Jin Beiguo."
Ji Han"s expression suddenly and subtly changes, "Baoshan Daxia Jin Beiguo?"
Jin Beiguo says, "That"s me, I don"t know this young warrior..."
Ji Han"s expression is bizarre.
Zhao Jiangui is extremely afraid of being found out, shifts his gaze.
Ji Han continues, "And Mobei"s twin heroes."
Jin Beiguo stares, "This young warrior might know them? Not to hide the truth from this young hero, his two brothers indeed traveled with me, I ordered them to wait outside the inn. If there are righteous gentlemen that come running, it"ll be good for informing Zhao-xiong in time to flee."
Ji Han looks outside from the window, sees only two twenty-something year old youths keeping watch, the two people"s facial features are almost completely identical, looking to have a little of the lineage from the Western Regions, eyes and features unlike that of the Central Plains to some extent.
Ji Han turns his head to look at Baoshan Daxia, expression even more strange.
Jin Beiguo doesn"t understand so he forcibly pulls at Zhao Jiangui"s sleeve, asks, "Zhao-xiong, why is this young warrior always using this expression to look at me?"
Zhao Jiangui forces a laugh, "This...ah, ah...I also don"t know."

I apologize for not having this up yesterday! This week has been hectic for me. I did, however, post a sneak peek of chapter 65 on my Twitter in recompense... Thank you for your patience!
