Xu Daoyun said: "Don't hide it from Madame, at that time, the people of the Seven Evil Sect wanted to snatch this piece of jade, and it happened that I passed by there and repelled them, and this jade fell into my hands." ”

Mrs. Fengxian said: "The Seven Evil Sect wants to snatch this piece of jade jue regardless of exposing their whereabouts, I think this jade jue is very important, Lord Xu must remember to keep it properly, don't leak the news." ”

"Thank you, ma'am. ”

Xu Daoyun said goodbye and left, although he was a little disappointed in his heart, but the result was what he expected.

Madame Fengxian is not an immortal, how can she know the secret of this sign and Yu Jue? If you blame her for not knowing, it would be too unfair, and she didn't charge any fees, so she can't blame her.

It's just that in this way, Xu Daoyun can only pin his hopes on Concubine Lu Hong, who is far away in Yuan'an County, and maybe she can know something.

Walked out of Mingyue Building, went back to Zuixian Building to get a horse, drove out of Qingping County, and rushed south along Guanlu Avenue.

The location of this mission is in Qingcheng, and if you rush to practice during the day and practice at night, you can arrive in about five days, so Xu Daoyun is not in a hurry.

He replaced the green and bright leather on his body, this shirt was too ostentatious, it was better to keep a low profile.

A few days later, Xu Daoyun came to Qingcheng.

This city is extremely magnificent, the city wall alone is six zhang high, covering an area of no one very wide, the moat flows around Qingcheng, the east, west, north and south run, and flows into the river in the south.

Qingcheng, the ancient name is Qing, which means that the whole world celebrates.

Go further south, is the ring city, the name is the homonym used, the original word is "Huan", is the meaning of the whole country.

This Qingcheng is adjacent to the long river that runs through the north and south in the east, Yile in the south, Taihe River in the west, and Qingping in the north.

The four seasons are distinct, the rainfall is abundant, rice is planted, and wheat, rape, cotton, sericulture, and forest fruits are produced.

Specialties include Xunzhuang green tea, Taihe saury, Taihe silverfish, Yangdang Lake hairy crab, prosperous and rich.

From east to west, passing through this maple late forest, all the red maples are everywhere as far as the eye can see, and the fiery red maple leaves fall on the ground scattered, and the spring breeze blows, which is extremely pleasant.

In the early afternoon, white smoke can occasionally be seen rising from the chimneys of the small villages in the maple forest, presumably preparing a meal.

Xu Daoyun rode on a horse in this mangrove forest, looked at the busy residents of the small villages on both sides, and muttered: "Alas, if you can live in this beautiful place, the sunrise and sunset will not be in vain..."

Passing through the maple forest, I walked two more tea kung fu, and saw a city wall standing in front of me from a distance, with two big characters engraved in the middle - Qingcheng.

Before he got closer, he saw from a distance that there was an endless stream of people coming and going inside and outside the city, almost overcrowded.

It is no wonder that this Qingcheng is a big city, extending in all directions, and relying on Yile, there are naturally a lot of merchants coming and going.

It was only when I entered the city that I realized the prosperity of Qingcheng, and most of the people here came and went in groups, and it seemed that they were all businessmen doing business.

On the surrounding houses, there are people stepping on wooden ladders to build papier-mâché tigers, lions, dragons, and small people.

Xu Daoyun was puzzled, why build these strange things?

After days of hurrying, he couldn't wait to lead his horse into the city, wanting to find an inn to settle down, wash the dust on his body, and then have a full meal.

The first inn I passed by was overcrowded, not to mention accommodation, and there was no place for dinner.

This inn is a place for dignitaries and dignitaries, wealthy businessmen and magnates to discuss business and entertain guests, although it is expensive, but the environment and wine and food are first-class good, so it will be overcrowded.

Xu Daoyun didn't force it, and found another inn with an elegant environment, called Fengteng Restaurant.

This name is good, the inn is also very large, the outer courtyard is for the guests to eat, and the inner courtyard is the residence.

A total of three storeys high, surrounded by a square, enclosing a large pond at the bottom, the pond is planted with lotus flowers, and there are a few golden carp playing, but it is also clean and elegant.

Xu Daoyun walked into the inn, and immediately a beautiful girl greeted him.

Tired of seeing the oily and powdery young man, and the rich man with a fat brain, she saw Xu Daoyun's appearance as a ranger, her eyes lit up, and she said with a smile: "Is the guest officer a top-notch, or is he staying in a hotel?"

Xu Daoyun didn't answer, only nodded, and followed her into the inn with a red silk tent.

There were many guests on the neatly arranged tables and chairs outside the courtyard, looking at their appearances, all dressed in brocade clothes, Xu Daoyun passed through the middle and walked towards the inn hall.

When she sat down in the lobby of the inn, the girl smiled and asked, "Guest, what do you want to eat?"

Xu Daoyun asked rhetorically, "What's there?"

She replied with a smile, "We have Taihe saury, Taihe whitebait, Yangdang Lake hairy crab is the most famous, and Xunzhuang's green fragrant tea, all of which are must-order for guests." ”

Xu Daoyun nodded and said, "Okay, then that's all, two big bowls of rice and two catties of beef in sauce." ”

As he spoke, he suddenly saw a lifelike cloth tiger on the table, and he played with it in his hand.

In a short time, the woman came out of the room with several plates of steaming wine and delicacies, and placed them on the table one by one.

At this moment, a young man's voice came in from outside the hall, "Xiaojia, why are you still greeting guests, quickly pack up and dress up, let's go to see the Lantern Festival together." ”

Meng Jia's face was overjoyed, her willow eyebrows furrowed, and she said, "Song Huan, how many times have you said it, don't come to pester me in the future, I want to help my father take care of business in the store, you can go by yourself." ”

Song Huan came in with a group of young men and women across the threshold, and when he heard this, the smile on his face was also stiff, he couldn't imagine that Meng Jia couldn't get off the stage in front of so many people, and he was slightly annoyed in his heart.

"Xiaojia, when can't you do business, the Lantern Festival is only once a year, wouldn't it be a pity not to go?"

Meng Jia still shook her head, and her tone softened a little, "Song Huan, I'm really not going, you guys go, just bring me a few lanterns back when the time comes." ”

Song Huan suddenly turned his head and shouted: "Uncle Meng, can you give Xiaojia a day off, I will take her to see the lanterns at night." ”

Shopkeeper Meng walked out from behind the desk and said with a smile: "It's Song Huan, you can, of course." I'm going to have dinner with your dad tonight to talk about business, and this shop can't be opened, so let's go with a few young people." ”

"Daddy..."

Meng Jia wanted to refuse, but was glared at by the shopkeeper Meng.

Song Huan hooked the corners of his mouth proudly, with the rampant posture of a victor.

With so many people standing beside him talking, Xu Daoyun felt uncomfortable, so he asked, "Can you bring the wine and food to the room?" ”

Song Huan and the others looked at him one after another, and Meng Jia nodded and said, "Yes." ”

So he took the wine and food and wanted to lead Xu Daoyun upstairs.

At this time, Song Huan suddenly spoke, "Hey, can't you eat here, why do you have to go upstairs?"

Meng Jia turned around and said angrily: "Song Huan, why are you rude to my guests, it is his freedom to eat where he wants, and you have no right to interfere." ”

Song Huan saw her talking for others, and her face was even more unbearable, and she said coldly to Xu Daoyun: "Boy, I'll put my words here today, either you just sit here and eat, or you don't eat, get out of Qingcheng for me!"

Meng Jia said angrily: "Song Huan, you are too much. ”

Shopkeeper Meng took her hand and motioned for her not to meddle.

Song Huan became more and more annoyed in his heart, and his eyes stared at Xu Daoyun.

Xu Daoyun asked, "Who are you, with such a big mouth?"

Song Huan's chest straightened, but he didn't answer, and a dog-legged man beside him immediately jumped out when he saw the opportunity, and said arrogantly: "He is the son of the Song Yuanwai family in Qingcheng." ”

"Song Yuanwai's son, is it very big?" Xu Daoyun lived like a turtle from the countryside, and asked a ridiculous question.

Song Huan snorted disdainfully, and the dog-legged man immediately became a fox, "I really haven't seen the world, Song Yuanwai is the richest man in Qingcheng, and he has his business in shipyards, rice shops, silk shops, pawnshops, dart boards, commercial streets, and fish markets." Not only that, but even the city guard of Qingcheng is familiar with Song Yuan, and it is enough to get rid of a foreigner like you!"

Xu Daoyun nodded and said: "It does sound quite rich, but this Qingcheng is also a hub for trade and commerce in Jiangzhou, and the local imperial court agencies have the responsibility to govern public security, but they have no right to drive away people who have not committed adultery. ”

Song Huan said coldly: "So what? In this Qingcheng, it's what my Song family says, what are you, and you deserve to come and teach me?"

"I'm no one, but listening to your tone, I shouldn't be a little powerful and oppress the good, right?" Xu Daoyun was not afraid, and his phoenix eyes looked directly at Song Huan.

Song Huan was furious, waved his hand and shouted: "Okay, you foreigner, dare to come to my territory and talk nonsense, Wang Hao, teach him a lesson!"

I saw a tall young man jumping out of the crowd, taking three steps and making two steps, and slamming a fist at Xu Daoyun's head.

Xu Daoyun didn't expect these people to say that they would do it, and they would be so rampant.

He turned his head to avoid Wang Hao's fist, raised his knee and hit his lower abdomen, and the huge force directly shook him back a few steps, his face turned red, and he bowed into a shrimp.

Song Huan said angrily: "Wang Hao, give it to me!"

Wang Hao was weak, so he had to wave his hand and let the other four thugs step forward to make up the numbers.

These crooked melons and cracked dates, Xu Daoyun knocked them all to the ground with three punches and two kicks, and then looked at Song Heng with a panicked expression, and said: "You are so rampant, it seems that the people of Qingcheng have been harmed by you." ”

Song Heng was afraid of Xu Daoyun's skills, but he didn't want to lose face in front of so many people, so he slapped his swollen face and became fat, gritted his teeth and said: "Boy, this is Qingcheng, what can you do with two fists and feet?

"Oh. ”

Xu Daoyun nodded, and then there was a crisp sound of "pop" in the hall, and Song Huan was slapped by this slap, and he was dizzy, and he fell directly to the ground.

Meng Jia shouted happily in her heart, but she still came up and grabbed Xu Daoyun, and said in a low voice: "Hey, you are too impulsive, his father has a good relationship with the city guard, how dare you beat his son." ”

Xu Daoyun spread his hands and said: "He asked me to beat him, besides, if I don't beat him, won't I become his grandson?"

Meng Jia sneered, and quickly shut up.
