Fuzhou Fengyun Chapter 4 Xu Cheng
Two days later, Chen Qingniu and his party traveled 300 miles to the south, and they had already left the boundary of Beihu Mountain.
It's just that such a speed is undoubtedly extremely slow for those Jianghu rangers who are riding horses.
There is no telephone in this world, and there is no situation where the superiors urge the subordinates, of course, Huang Fu and the three of them are already old rivers and lakes, and it is not difficult to increase the speed, all of this is naturally Chen Qingniu's idea.
Stop and go, wherever he passes, no matter whether he can call his name or not, no matter whether the scenery is good or bad, Chen Qingniu will get out of the car to take a look at the scenery and keep it in his heart.
Lin Muzhi, who was only thinking about practicing swords, didn't have any opinion on this, although Chen Qingniu called him Brother Lin, he still called Chen Qingniu senior, which made Lu Buwei persuade the former many times: "Muzhi, we are all in this friendship, is this interesting?"
Who knows, Lin Muzhi, who has always been bad at arguing about things, replied after hearing the callous: "Interesting, why is it boring? Don't you also think all day long that he can call you brother-in-law, don't always be Brother Lu?"
Lu Buwei was speechless when he heard it, and turned his head stupidly, never mentioning this matter again.
However, everyone can see one thing, since Chen Qingniu's cultivation spell went wrong a few days ago, he and Jin Yue'er have become more like glue, Lin Muzhi naturally hopes that Chen Qingniu and Jin Yue'er will have a better and better relationship, in those days in Feiyan Sword Village, he has seen too much, and the second lady can't fake his brother's true feelings.
Lu Buwei is natural, not to mention, he wants to hear that brother-in-law, he is already wishing that the two of them would get married earlier, he is actually a little worried, he went to a place like Fucheng, there are too many variables, for outsiders, he sometimes behaves in the world, although he is a little unkind, but Chen Qingniu, this brother-in-law, he likes it in his heart.
"Appeal ......"
Huang Fulama, who was walking in front, stopped, and Zhu Yanzhang and Hu Yan also stopped one after another.
A white plain hand leaned out of the carriage, the curtain was lifted, and Jin Yue'er asked, "Fu Bo, have you found anything interesting again?"
After all, seeing the scenery is such a thing, only Chen Qingniu, who was wrapped in reinforced concrete in the previous life, grew up in a poor countryside in this life, and has never been out of the country before, will do it.
Huang Fu replied: "Second Miss, ask the one inside, the front is a little uneven, should we take a detour or ......?"
Ahead, it was as if it was already a city.
But unlike the remote and remote places like Anqing County, this city is undoubtedly much larger and more formal, just to say that the majestic city wall that is nearly ten zhang high and the nearly 100 guards wearing standard black armor outside the city wall are far beyond the reach of the small Anqing county.
This city, surnamed Xu, is called Xu City, and the two big dark red characters on the city gate are extremely conspicuous.
"Fauber, what's wrong here?"
This time, it was Chen Qingniu's voice.
He was just in a state of cultivation, and he had already heard the conversation between the two.
Huang Fu smiled bitterly: "Every city has a surname, does Chen Gongzi think this city can be peaceful?"
Chen Qingniu thought for a while, but also hesitated slightly.
He is not afraid of things, but he also doesn't want to cause trouble.
Now, by absorbing the aura in those variegated yuan stones in the storage bag, Chen Qingniu's cultivation speed is undoubtedly extremely fast, and the vitality in his body is growing day by day, which is a very good trend, if he is safe, he believes that before he reaches Fucheng, he can make the vitality of the water tank in the dantian reach the point of a small pond.
He has always made quick decisions, but this time he rarely showed a trace of hesitation.
"What the hell am I thinking?"
Suddenly, in front of Jin Yue'er and Huang Fu's eyes, Chen Qingniu gave himself a slap.
"Ah Niu, what are you?"
Feeling the hot pain on his face, that trace of hesitation disappeared, Chen Qingniu did not immediately answer Jin Yue'er's words, but smiled at Huang Fu and said, "Fu Bo, go into the city, it's not in the way." โ
Huang Fu naturally saw something from Chen Qingniu's actions, and there was a strange look in his old dizzy eyes, and he seemed to understand why the owner of the village, who had always hidden a knife in his smile, would be sincere to this young man this time.
After Chen Qingniu finished speaking, he sat back in the carriage, Jin Yue'er turned his head to look, he laughed, and said truthfully: "Yue'er, I shouldn't hesitate." โ
So you should slap yourself?
Jin Yue'er didn't ask this, but Chen Qingniu naturally still had to answer, Chen Qingniu said: "Do you remember when I was in the hinterland of Beihu Mountain? I do anything, whether it is life or death, as long as it is what I want to do, I will do it, whether it is to die generously or to live to die, I will not hesitate." โ
"Subsequently, Liu Youcai, Liu Zhixian, Zhang Fuzhi, do I know them? To be honest, I'm not sure, I've told you that I don't know much more about the world of cultivation than you do, so I need to experience it, to grow, to remember everything that happened, and to judge from it. โ
"But, just now I hesitated. Chen Qingniu showed a self-deprecating wry smile, "Yue'er, do you know? When Fu Bo said that sentence just now, I was a little afraid, and the idea of bypassing the past was born in my mind. โ
"That's not right. Whatever the reason, it is against my insistence, and even more so against the road I want to take. โ
As for the real reason, Chen Qingniu didn't say it, for example, he now has a considerable number of Yuan Stones, and he has already given birth to the mind of avoiding disasters and cultivating, and for example, the death of his relatives makes him a little afraid of the separation of life and death after the accident, and even more like now that he doesn't know a lot of things, while he is in awe, that adventurous heart has also lost some of the blood and strength that it should have, but in any case, there must be Jin Yue'er in these countless things.
Both Chen Qingniu and Jin Yue'er know this.
And because of this, Jin Yue'er didn't ask any more, who said that teenagers should be ignorant and ignorant? She felt that Chen Qingniu was very old, at least, no worse than most of her peers she had met.
Outside the city gate, the queue was very long, and when Chen Qingniu and his party were undergoing a routine inspection, the long-faced man who should be at the level of captain flashed a strange look in his eyes when he saw Jin Yue'er, but after seeing Chen Qingniu, that look was obviously hidden.
"Cultivator!"
The long-faced man was shocked in his heart, he was originally the deputy commander of the Xucheng City Guard, although he had not really stepped into the cultivation of the army, but he was born in the army, if he only talked about fists and feet, ordinary first-class masters in the rivers and lakes would definitely not be able to walk out of ten rounds in front of him.
However, this is still not the root of his ability to find such a fat difference in a place where family strife is very common in Xucheng over the years, in the early years, he joined the army, did not make great achievements, but made a big mistake, in a siege and suppression of the enemy soldiers, he let go of an enemy general whose identity was quite secret, and in return, the seriously injured general passed him a way to look at qi before leaving.
Cultivators in the world all have a breath of energy.
Left and right, tending to the flames, over the years, the long-faced man has undoubtedly used this method of qi contemplation, just at a glance, he can see the identity of Chen Qingniu's cultivator, although he can't determine the realm, but as long as he is a cultivator, even if it is the lowest Qi refining three realms or martial arts innate, it is not something he can handle.
The long-faced man immediately clenched his fists and said respectfully: "The villain doesn't know that the immortal is here, so he has the courage to fight, and please forgive the immortal." โ
In fact, when the long-faced man observed Chen Qingniu with the method of observing qi, Chen Qingniu also guided a trace of vitality to probe the long-faced man, and he was still slightly shocked when he heard this, this person was obviously just an ordinary martial artist, and he was able to take a bath to see through his identity as a cultivator, and sure enough, the outside world is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger.
Chen Qingniu waved his hand, and said lightly and inscrutablely: "Those who don't know are not guilty." โ
As soon as these words came out, the long-faced man was already cold in his vest, and with his experience over the years, he could naturally hear that there was another meaning in this statement.
He didn't dare to look at Jin Yue'er anymore, nor did he dare to interrogate the carriage of Lu Lin and the two of them and the carriage full of various living expenses driven by nonsense at the end, and hurriedly retreated from those subordinates who wanted to go to the investigation, and raised his hand with one hand: "Let go!"
When the carriage slowly drove past the city gate, Jin Yue'er was suspicious: "That person is also a cultivator?"
Chen Qingniu shook his head and said, "It's just an ordinary first-class martial artist, but it's ......"
"He is a first-class martial artist who can see through my identity as a cultivator at a glance, compared to our small Anqing County, this outside world is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger!"
Jin Yue'er nodded in agreement, but what she cared more about was not the words "Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger", but "we".
After a few people entered the city, they did not stay longer, but still went straight to the south, this Xu Cheng was not familiar with the place, and after entering the city, there was a depressing atmosphere around him, and everyone did not want to stay for a long time.
However, when the two of them were halfway there, their faces were already early.
This Xu City is much bigger than the county seat of Anqing, but what really makes everyone not go out of the city before it gets late is the endless flow of people, and the roads in the city have always been crowded, even if everyone takes the road specially for horse-drawn carriages.
It was only about two miles from the south city gate, and everyone found an inn to stay, and there was nothing precious or hidden in the three carriages, so they let the shopkeeper take it away.
There are a total of three wing rooms, one for Chen Qingniu and Lu Lin, one for Huang Fu, and one for Jin Yue'er.
Although everyone knows the relationship between Chen Qingniu and Jin Yue'er, and people in the rivers and lakes rarely take this kind of male and female status so seriously, the two still choose to sleep in separate rooms.
First, it was natural that the two of them did not really pierce that layer of window paper, let alone go through the process of the matchmaker's words of their parents' lives, although Jin Yue'er didn't mind, and Chen Qingniu, who had the soul of the new era, didn't mind, but the two still chose to keep that layer of mystery.
Second, it is naturally Chen Qingniu's current age, in the eyes of outsiders, he is just a hairy boy who looks like fifteen or sixteen, although he tends to grow old at a glance, but his real age in this life is only thirteen years and nine months, to be honest, he is still too young.
"Little sister, although this store doesn't look like a black store, but if there is something, call us as soon as possible, separated by a wall, a little bigger, you can still hear it. After dinner, before entering the room, Lu Buwei told Jin Yue'er.
But it was just in exchange for Jin Yue'er's eyes, and she said: "Brother, do you really regard me as the kind of little girl who has just walked the rivers and lakes and is not deeply involved in the world?
"Okay, Yue'er, go back to your room. Tomorrow morning, we'll set off. Chen Qingniu said.
So they all went back to their rooms.
............
In the courtyard of a deep mansion somewhere in the city, a man in black armor knelt on one knee, and in front of him stood three men who looked like they had been in a high position for many years.
The two sat opposite each other on the left and right, without saying a word, and one of them turned his back to the long-faced man, which made him feel a little panicked.
After a long time, the man standing with his hands in his hands turned around suddenly, his daunting face was cloudy, and he suddenly sneered: "Li Wang, you are a first-class martial artist, how can you see that the young man is a cultivator?
As soon as the long-faced man named Li Wang heard this, there was still a little blood on his face, and his other bent foot immediately knelt down, and kept kowtowing: "The villain doesn't dare, the villain doesn't dare." โ
Subsequently, after not daring to hide his early experiences one by one, and handing over the method of observing qi, after seeing a rare smile on the face of the head of the Xu family, he took a reassuring pill.
In fact, when he was still in the room, he had already scolded himself thousands of times in his heart, and he was anxious for quick success, but he didn't expect that the invitation would not succeed, but he also handed over the most important eating ability that he had hidden over the years, why did he bother.
"Big brother, this method of observing qi is true, we didn't use internal force to perceive, we only looked at it with ordinary eyes, and I saw the faint vitality emanating from the eldest brother and the second brother. Seeing that Li Wang had left, the man sitting on the left suddenly spoke.
The head of the Xu family nodded, squinted his eyes and said, "Third brother, do you think that Li Wang has been a dog in our family for so many years, and I still don't know if what he said is true or false?" It's just that when he fled here in despair, I felt that this person had some ability, our Xu family and the other two of them have been fighting openly and secretly for so many years, and there have been countless casualties, including many innate martial arts Qi refining cultivators, not to mention those martial artists who are still just entering the stream, but this Li Wang, no matter what kind of errand he arranges, he can always turn evil into good fortune, once or twice is luck, but every time it is like this, but it makes people not just suspicious, just now, I just knocked him with my hands, he actually didn't say that this is useless for us and others Qi Viewing method, I will also let him leave safelyใ โ
When the third brother was about to say, "Sure enough, it's still the eldest brother who is smart", the dark-faced man sitting on the right hand side who has been silent suddenly said: "This matter can be put aside first, what he said just now, presumably there will be no fake, eldest brother, the third child, that young man who was already a cultivator at a young age, do you think it will be the handiwork of which of the two families?"
"Gongsun family?"
As the third elder of the martial arts cultivator, he asked tentatively, compared with the two elder brothers, he was obsessed with martial arts, and he obviously didn't like to think about those complicated things, and now the one who dared to blatantly oppose the Xu family in Xu Cheng was the Zhao family with the peak monks of the Yuanhai Realm, and it was the Gongsun family that had several innate martial arts cultivators.
The second brother smiled and said, "Third brother, if those barbarians have such a means, do you think our Xu Cheng can still be surnamed Xu now?"
"Second brother, don't you be, that young man is the old immortal surnamed Zhao who asked for help? That's right, now the Zhao family and our Xu family are on the same footing, not long ago the old immortal fought with the eldest brother, and fell into the eldest brother's soul chasing poison, it is not impossible to ask for help at this juncture. โ
"My soul chasing can't poison the old immortal roots. โ
Just when the third child was suspicious, the eldest who was the head of the family spoke: "Moreover, I don't think that young man is necessarily coming to our Xu City, even if he is, he may not have come specifically to our Xu family." โ
"What does the eldest brother mean?" the third asked again.
The boss sneered: "What can I mean? As the lord of Xu City, I have a Taoist friend who has come from afar, so I naturally want to prepare a thin wine to treat each other politely, but what the other two do is not something I can control." โ
After speaking, he turned his head to look at the second child on the right hand and said, "Second brother, do you know what to do?"
The second child smiled ruthlessly: "Big brother, don't worry, early tomorrow morning, that young man will go to one of the two families to seek revenge." โ
"Okay!" the boss smiled heartily, "I will leave this matter to the second brother, but try to make things as big as possible when doing it, it is best to alarm the city patrol guards, remember, those who are sent out cannot have half of their mouths alive, no matter who they die in, but they must not survive tonight." โ
Immediately, he said to the third brother: "Third brother, you immediately go down and lead the city guards to routinely inspect the streets and alleys, but if you find any suspicious people, they will all be arrested and detained in the dungeon, and they will be interrogated on a later day." โ
After the two left, the boss stood with his hands in his hands again and turned his back.
In front of him, there was a wall, and on the wall, there was a painting with a touch of residual sun and clouds.
From the left, the remnant sun is already the sun sinking in the west, and the crimson light has been dyed with blood for two years, and the remnant sun is picturesque.
From the right, the remnant sun shone like the rising sun, and the clouds covered the golden light, which was the beginning of the day.
A painting with two sides.
One person, perhaps more than two.
There are countless sides to one thing.
Xu Shiquan is his name.
There are thousands of possibilities for everything, and thinking about everything is tantamount to whimsical.
But Xu Quan felt that he could do it, no matter where the young man came from or what his plans were, as long as he tried it, he would be able to know.
What he asked the second child to do was very simple, let people pretend to be people from the Zhao family and the Gongsun family to test with the young man, if he could, kill a few people who traveled with him, because Li Wang said, and then he didn't check the second carriage, but the woman was not a cultivator, and those horsemen were not cultivators, so to kill a few Jianghu people, Xu Quan didn't know whether it was difficult or not elsewhere, but in this Xu City, it was undoubtedly very simple.
If someone dies, the young man will definitely seek revenge, no matter which family the young man goes to, it has nothing to do with his Xu family at present, but as long as the young man goes to one of them and does not go to the other, all suspicions will naturally come to light.
And if the young man didn't go to the two families, he could see at a glance that this was his Xu family's plan, and the answer would naturally be clearer.
Those who achieve great things must be far-sighted and take the overall situation into account.
At least, that's what Xu Shiquan thinks.
