In the early morning of the next day, Li Qinghe had already woken up early, today was the day to leave Jinling City, the selection of nine cities was approaching, and Li Qinghe needed to rush to Shengjing, the city that hosted the selection of nine cities this year.

Without alarming Li Chong and Xia Zhuyue, Li Qinghe quietly left the Li Mansion.

Standing outside the Li Mansion, Li Qinghe looked at the plaque in front of the mansion with some nostalgia, and then turned around and no longer hesitated.

In front of the Li Mansion, Li Chong had come out to stand in front of the mansion at some point, looking at the figure of the young man in the distance, and muttered: "Qinghe, have a good trip!"

Guo Yuan, the housekeeper on the side, said with a smile: "Don't worry, sir, the stage outside is the most suitable place for the young master." I believe that when the young master returns, he will definitely amaze everyone!"

Li Chong and Guo Yuan looked at each other and smiled, then turned around and entered the mansion.

In a quaint room in the west courtyard, Xia Zhuyue pushed open the door, looked into the distance with a smile, and said softly: "Qinghe, have a good trip!" In fact, Xia Zhuyue knew that Li Qinghe was leaving today, and it was in line with his character to say goodbye.

...

The nine candidates in Jinling all chose to leave today, and only some chose to go together, but mainly from a family or with a good relationship. Lonely people like Qin Wen, Shi Ge, and Li Qinghe all went to Shengjing alone.

On the wide road outside Jinling City, a young man carried a black package on his back, and his steps were steady, it was Li Qinghe who left Jinling City and rushed to Shengjing City, and the black package was the Chunjun Sword.

This road is also known as the official road, this official road is built around the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and the eight main cities are built on this official road, which shows the huge and wide coverage of this official road.

As the official road of the Ming Dynasty, the flow of people on this road is still relatively large, and merchants who rush to various cities for trade can be seen everywhere. Due to the existence of this official road, the trade between the cities was still relatively frequent, which also directly promoted the prosperity of the dynasty's commerce.

Stopping and wiping the beads of sweat from his forehead, Li Qinghe took out a sheepskin map from the Qiankun bag on his waist and looked at it carefully. This is the dynasty map of the Ming Dynasty, the map not only records the capital of the Ming Dynasty and the eight main cities, but also records the small cities in addition to the nine main cities, which can be said to be very detailed.

Finding a big tree on the side of the road, Li Qinghe sat under the tree to enjoy the shade, leaning against the big tree, Li Qinghe's fingers moved on the sheepskin map. Li Qinghe planned to pass through Langya City and go to Shengjing.

The nine main cities of the Ming Dynasty include the capital Chaoge, and the remaining eight have two on the four borders of the southeast, northwest and northwest, such as Jinling City and Gusu City are the two cities on the eastern border. Langya City is a city on the southern border, and another is Lanling.

"We should be able to reach Langya tomorrow. Li Qinghe muttered to himself.

Standing up, Li Qinghe embarked on the road to Langya, but he couldn't get there today, Li Qinghe planned to rest for the night in Yancheng, a small city on the road.

As night fell, Li Qinghe finally arrived at Rock City, which was just a small city on the official road, but it was also an important hub connecting the south and the east.

After entering the city, Li Qinghe turned around, trying to find an inn to settle in.

"Beat me, beat me to death!" Several tall men on the street surrounded a somewhat thin young man, and the people on the street hurriedly avoided it, for fear of harming the pond fish.

Li Qinghe also noticed the movement here, but he just glanced at it, and then prepared to leave, Li Qinghe has never been a good person and does not like to meddle in things.

"Tang Yin, you can't run away this time!" said a dark-skinned man led by him.

"Hand over the jade pendant!"

"Think beautiful!" the thin young man's eyes rolled, ready to find an opportunity to escape.

Several big men seemed to be impatient, and one by one they rolled up their sleeves and approached the young man.

The thin young man hurriedly hid to the side, and several big men hurriedly caught up.

"Run, where do you want to run!" several big men once again surrounded the thin young man.

The thin young man, his eyes changed, he noticed Li Qinghe who was about to leave, and hurriedly ran towards Li Qinghe, hiding behind Li Qinghe.

"Brother, help me!" said the thin young man eagerly.

"Who are you, don't meddle with things!" The dark-skinned man led by him looked at Li Qinghe with an unkind face.

Li Qinghe was stunned for a moment, and said innocently: "I'm just passing by, it's none of my business." Then he turned and prepared to leave.

"Brother, you're too cold!" said the thin young man.

"Wait!" the swarthy man at the head called out to Li Qinghe, who was about to leave.

Li Qinghe turned around and said, "What's the matter?"

"Hand over the black package you're carrying, and I'll let you go. The swarthy man sneered.

Li Qinghe's face became indifferent, ignored his words, and turned to leave.

"Don't go!" several big men surrounded Li Qinghe.

"What I want in Sha Zhou, I haven't gotten it yet!" he said and reached out to grab Li Qinghe's back.

Li Qinghe sighed secretly in his heart, turned around and reached out to grab Dahan's hand.

The swarthy man suddenly felt as if his hand was fixed, and he couldn't move.

"What are you still doing in a daze, give it to me!" the swarthy man yelled at the other big men on the side.

Li Qinghe chuckled, grabbed Dahan's hand and twisted it, Dahan screamed in pain, and then Li Qinghe kicked Dahan's lower abdomen.

Bang –

After a loud bang, the swarthy man flew out against the ground!

This swarthy man is also a small strength, and he is naturally not Li Qinghe's opponent.

The remaining big men suddenly stopped, looked at Li Qinghe with some horror, and didn't dare to approach.

"Is it all rubbish. Don't give it to me yet!" the swarthy man roared as he clutched his chest with blood on his mouth.

The eyes of several big men changed, and finally they gritted their teeth and rushed towards Li Qinghe.

"Be careful!" Tang Yin, a thin young man on the side, couldn't help but remind.

Li Qinghe looked at the several big men rushing towards him with an indifferent face, and his figure suddenly disappeared in place.

In the next moment, several big men fell to the ground as if they were hit hard.

Sha Zhou was scared at this time, and hurriedly slipped away with a few big men in embarrassment, and didn't forget to say cruelly before leaving: "You wait for me!"

Li Qinghe looked indifferent, originally he didn't want to meddle in things, but since they dared to touch his attention, Li Qinghe would not show mercy. As for retaliation, Li Qinghe has never been afraid.

Li Qinghe turned around and wanted to go to an inn in front of him, and Tang Yin hurriedly followed.

"Why are you following me?" When he arrived at the door of the inn, Li Qinghe said suddenly.

"You saved me, and I will repay you. Tang Yin said with a smile.

Li Qinghe had a headache, he always felt that this guy was relying on him.
