The Wei State is located in the southeast corner of the Wanling Continent.

It is bordered to the north by the most powerful state of Qin, and to the south by the barbarians, southern Xinjiang.

Linjiang City, on the other hand, is located at the southernmost tip of the Wei Kingdom.

A Heishui River passes through the city from east to west, and out of the south gate of Linjiang City, it is the 100,000 mountains in southern Xinjiang.

Although there would be some wars between Wei and the barbarians from time to time, in the days when there was no war, the people on both sides were still happy to exchange their own specialties with each other's unique treasures.

And Linjiang City is the center of the Central Plains people's trade with the barbarians.

Over time, this riverside city also continued to prosper, and finally had the reputation of the second city of Wei.

It's a pity that an accident ten years ago killed Qi Liantian, the general of Wei Zhennan who was stationed here. In a fit of rage, the King of Wei, who was in love with Qi Lian and his brothers, led his troops to conquer in person, and vented all his anger on what he thought was the murderer, the barbarians.

After this battle, the relationship between the barbarians and the Wei state was completely broken. In Linjiang City, the figure of barbarian merchants has also been decreasing, and the status of this former second city of Wei has also plummeted.

After ten years of vicissitudes, Linjiang City has become an inconspicuous small city, and even the merchants who come and go are not ready to see it.

"Master, you said before that you knew that we should come to Linjiang City, but this Linjiang City is so big after all. We can't just catch a person like a headless fly and ask, can we?"

As soon as the four masters and apprentices entered the gate of Linjiang City with their front feet, they raised their questions to Fang Yue with their back feet.

Fang Yue nodded when she heard this: "That's what I said." Why don't we find a place to live and then slowly look for clues?"

The three apprentices naturally had no doubts about Fang Yue's proposal.

After all, after four days of traveling, the three young people just wanted a bed to get a good night's sleep. Spanning five teleportation arrays in a row, ordinary people can't bear it.

Seeing this, Fang Yue smiled slightly, raised her hand and pointed ahead: "How about this inn?"

The three of them looked in the direction of Fang Yue's finger, and a somewhat dilapidated inn appeared in view.

Fulin Inn.

The name is good, but the old décor and crumbling plaque make the inn seem a little scribbled.

But how could the three of them, who were already exhausted, manage so much at this time? There was an inn before they met, and they immediately nodded at the same time, and said in unison: "Yes!

After reaching an agreement, the group of four stepped into the door of the Blessing Inn with their legs raised.

As soon as the four masters and apprentices entered the door, an ordinary-looking woman immediately greeted them with a smile: "Ah, a few of them are still staying in the hotel? Looking at the appearance of the four of them, they should want to take a rest, right?"

Fang Yue nodded, and took out a piece of silver from his bosom that had been exchanged before departure: "Let's have two first-class guest rooms." ”

Seeing that Fang Yue was so generous, the smile on her face deepened: "Ouch, this son is a decent person. Come on, come on, second floor please. The first and second rooms on the left hand side are there. I'm the proprietress of a small shop, so just call me if there's something to do. ”

Fang Yue smiled slightly: "I don't know what to call Madame?"

The woman put the silver into her arms and said with a smile: "Just call me Nie Sanniang." I'm not afraid of jokes when I say it, and my husband and I will take care of the whole shop. But if Childe has any needs, my husband and wife will definitely do their best to do it for Childe!"

Fang Yue responded with a smile and went upstairs with the three disciples.

After settling Li Zhining's private room, Fang Yue went back to her room and the two male disciples and sat down, looking at Zhang Zhiheng and Ren Que, who were about to go to bed, and said with a smile: "Can you see something?"

Where did the two of them, who were already sleepy, still have the spirit to pay attention to him? They climbed into bed and fell asleep.

Fortunately, Ren Que, who had always been extremely respectful, replied with a sentence, which made Fang Yue not feel so embarrassed for the time being.

"Looking at the actions of the proprietress, it looks a bit like she has practiced martial arts - Master, I'm too sleepy, I'll sleep first. Shall we talk about it later?"

Fang Yue smiled slightly, didn't continue to bother the two, only reached out and wiped the dust on the shabby wooden table.

Sure enough, this inn should be unusual.

......

Just after the four masters and apprentices had settled down, a sparrow tilted its head and looked through the window for a long time, and finally flapped its wings and disappeared into the sky......

......

Evening.

Fulin Inn lobby.

A table of extremely sumptuous dishes made the four masters and apprentices who had been tired for several days give praise.

A sturdy man laughed and accepted everyone's praise, while raising his wine glass to Fang Yue and said, "Brother Fang, it's not my brother, I'm bragging." In this entire Linjiang City, in terms of cooking skills alone, I, Qi Jingde, have never been afraid of anyone!"

Nie Sanniang saw that the man named Qi Jingde wanted to drink again, so she smiled lightly and reached out and patted him on the back: "Husband, drink less." Otherwise, I'll have a headache again at night. ”

Qi Jingde glanced back at Nie Sanniang, his eyes were full of tenderness: "I know, I know, the last cup is good?"

Fang Yue took over the conversation very interestingly: "Brother Qi, why don't you stop here today? Brother, I'm a little overwhelmed." How about we have some tea and a chat?"

Hearing Fang Yue's words, Qi Jingde put down his wine glass and said with a smile: "Okay, just listen to your brother!"

Fang Yue took a sip of the tea handed by Nie Sanniang, and asked the husband and wife with puzzlement: "Big brother and sister-in-law, in fact, brother and I have something to understand, with Brother Qi's skills, it can completely attract many people to dine." Why do I look at our inn, it doesn't seem to be very popular?"

When Qi Jingde heard this, he sighed softly: "Brother, you think too much." Now that I was born this year, every household in Linjiang City is even fed, so how can I still have so much heart to taste your eldest brother and my craft? It is also bad luck. Your sister-in-law and I met and opened this inn not long after the general's death. Originally, I thought that this Linjiang City should continue to prosper no matter what, but who knew that the king directly led his troops to fight with the barbarians. As a result, this Linjiang City has become what it is now. ”

Fang Yue touched her chin: "Then why don't you change places to develop?"

Nie Sanniang took over the conversation with a slight smile, and at the same time turned her head to look at Qi Jingde, her eyes were full of happiness: "Your eldest brother said that their ancestors were born in this Linjiang City for generations, and he didn't want to leave here even if he was killed." Marry a chicken and a dog and marry a dog, and I will stay with your eldest brother. ”

Fang Yue smiled when she saw this: "In this way, the two of you are really in love." ”

Qi Jingde laughed and hugged Nie Sanniang: "If it weren't for my wife, I might still be helping people unload goods at the dock now." ”

Nie Sanniang's face flushed, and she gently pushed Qi Jingde: "Be careful, there are still children here." ”

"It's okay, we're not kids anymore. ”

Seeing this, the three students in the eighteen groups all laughed and shouted in unison.

Fang Yue feigned anger: "Go! Why don't you hurry upstairs to rest after eating, what kind of excitement is there here?"

The three of them looked at each other, stuck out their tongues, and led the order to go upstairs.

After the three of them left, Qi Jingde asked Fang Yue: "Eh, brother, you said before that you were the former Chu remnant clan, why did you come to our Linjiang City this time?"

Fang Yue took a sip of tea: "Read thousands of books, travel thousands of miles." Take them out and see the world, and they know what they should do in the future. Brother Qi, my brother also told you such a secret because he fell in love with you, don't take it out and talk nonsense. ”

Qi Jingde patted his chest with a smile: "Brother, what are you talking about? Your eldest brother and I are very strict!"

Fang Yue smiled slightly and changed the topic: "By the way, I listened to the meaning of your words before, the death of the great general before didn't seem to have much to do with the barbarians, right?"

Qi Jingde nodded: "It's actually not a secret to talk about this. Almost everyone in this riverside city knows it. The cause of the general's death should be related to a treasure he obtained at that time. It's just that after getting this treasure, a group of killers suddenly broke into the door and killed the general's family and snatched the treasure. After all, the king is a brother who grew up with the general, and even if he can't find the main owner to take revenge, he has to find someone to accompany the general. That's why there was a matter of destroying the barbarians. ”

Fang Yue squinted her eyes and nodded.

Treasure, could it be the Forest Staff?
