Really?"

Dongfang Shuo carelessly took the dagger from the woman's hand.

He had already seen the sharpness of this dagger, but he didn't believe much in what Ji Zhaoning said, 'No. 1 in Kyushu'.

Kyushu is so big that he still doesn't know anything about Kyushu to this day.

Except for the land of Qingzhou and Xuzhou, which his footsteps have reached, he doesn't know where the other seven states are or what they look like.

Airplanes.

A touch of spiritual power poured into the dagger, and its blade, which seemed to be unable to cut anything, suddenly appeared with a sharp cold light, which made Dongfang Shuo's heart involuntarily shake.

After dissipating the spiritual power, Dongfang Shuo breathed a sigh of relief, and he also put away the dagger.

"What about the rest? Is there anything else you need to explain?"

Dongfang Shuo asked.

The woman's figure leaned forward slightly, dragging her chin with the back of a pair of jade hands, and her girl-like eyes stared at Dongfang Shuo like this.

"What more do you want me to say to you?"

She said half-jokingly.

Seeing this, Dongfang Shuo immediately got up.

Seeing him get up, Ji Zhaoning also raised his eyes slightly, and said, "Are you going to leave, don't you plan to wait for the person who helped you go into the city to explore the way back?"

"He's not coming back. ”

Dongfang Shuo looked at Ji Zhaoning and said.

Hearing this, Ji Zhaoning sat up straight again, and still asked with a smile, "How can you see it?"

"Since they wanted me to jump in, it must be unsafe inside, and in that case, I'm sure that guy won't come back. ”

"Do you trust that guy so much that he's going to be on your side?"

"Whether it will be or not, it has nothing to do with me, I am going to enter the city after all. ”

With that, Dongfang Shuo cleaned up his wrinkled clothes, turned around and prepared to go downstairs.

And he had just taken a step, but Ji Zhaoning beside him said, "Maybe you guessed wrong." ”

This sentence made him pause suddenly, and when he looked back at Ji Zhaoning, the latter's gaze was looking through the railing, looking at the bottom of the teahouse.

Following the latter's line of sight, Dongfang Shuo also looked towards the front of the teahouse.

At this time, in the crowd, there was a familiar voice, looking around, as if looking for something.

"He's back?"

Dongfang Shuo was stunned.

The person who appeared in the crowd was the same person who had just gone in a moment earlier to find out.

At this time, Ji Zhaoning also stood up.

"Now that the man has come out, you can go with him into the city. Ji Zhaoning said, "The conversation between the two of us here will not be known by the fourth person, you can rest assured." ”

"I've always been at ease with your methods. ”

Dongfang Shuo nodded.

So, he didn't stay any longer, so he left for Ji Zhaoning and the two of them to go downstairs one step.

When he walked out of the teahouse, he deliberately let out a breath that made the guy who was looking for him on the street immediately notice his presence.

"Lord Dongfang, you are really not surprised, you can still go to the teahouse to drink tea calmly in such a situation?" Spy B hurriedly walked in front of Dongfang Shuo, and said to Dongfang Shuo without knowing whether to blame or sigh.

Dongfang Shuo smiled and didn't say much.

"How's it going in the city?"

He asked bluntly.

Spy B looked at the city, and after a deep groan, he said, "Let's be safe." But there are some details, let's talk about it while we go, and let's talk about it in the first city. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and walked straight towards the opposite side of the city gate.

Looking at his walking figure, Dongfang Shuo thought for a while, and then set off to follow.

"You said that you were talking as you walked, were you going to take me somewhere?"

Dongfang Shuo asked.

Spy B looked at him and said, "Yes, I want to go to Zhai Mansion, and Lord Xu is waiting for you there." ”

"Lord Xu, Xu Changsheng?"

"Yes. At this point, Scout B suddenly realized something, and immediately said, "But don't worry, Lord Dongfang, I have already checked before I come back, and there are no ambushes inside and outside Zhai Mansion." And looking at Lord Xu's face, it shouldn't be unfavorable to you. ”

Dongfang Shuo heard this, and immediately muttered in a low voice: "Even if there is really anything, I don't care." ”

Spy B, who vaguely heard something, immediately looked at Dongfang Shuo and asked, "Dongfang Lord, what did you just say?" I didn't hear too clearly. ”

"No, nothing. Dongfang Shuo shook his head, "I believe you, you can lead the way." ”

Scout B immediately nodded.

And when the two of them came to the gate of the city, they walked on the leftmost side of the gate.

"Wait. ”

Suddenly, Dongfang Shuo, who had just walked past the city gate sentry, heard a bang behind him, and when his heart trembled, he turned back slightly, and came behind him before he could see it.

And just when Dongfang Shuo thought that a soldier would come up to check on him, he immediately heard a young man behind him shouting: "What are you doing? The first two can pass just now, why are you stopping me?"

Looking back, the soldier who shouted loudly just now was stopping the shouting young man.

The soldier looked in the direction the young man was pointing, and his gaze was about to fall on Dongfang Shuo and the others.

But instead of saying much, the soldier smiled at Dongfang Shuo, who was looking at him, and nodded slightly. Then, the soldier looked at the shouting young man with a fierce face.

"What do you know, those two are adults in the city, can you compete with them? Hurry up and cooperate with the inspection, otherwise you will be arrested as a wanted criminal!"

As he spoke, the soldier drew the broadsword at his waist and frightened the young man in front of him.

And seeing the bright big knife in front of him, the young man was suddenly frightened and didn't dare to squeak, so he had to obey.

"Lord Dongfang?"

Just as he saw this, a soft call from Spy B came from his side.

Dongfang Shuo came back to his senses and said, "The garrison of the imperial city is really strict, let's go on." So, he set out ahead of Scout B.

Spy B looked at Dongfang Shuo, glanced back at the sentry at the door, scratched his head, and immediately set off to follow, continuing to lead Dongfang Shuo.

After about a quarter of an hour, the two left the noisy street market and came to a more secluded area of the imperial city.

It's secluded, but it's not remote.

The high walls of the houses and the smooth and solid brick and stone roads at your feet show that the status of the people who live here is definitely not low.

Far away, when I walked into the middle of a street, I saw that Spy B's footsteps stopped, and Dongfang Shuo also stopped.

Looking sideways, he saw a large door.

And on the plaque on the door, there are two big characters written on it.

Zhai Mansion.

"This is Zhai Mansion?"

Dongfang Shuo asked.

Spy B nodded, and said, "Lord Dongfang, wait here, I'll knock on the door." ”

Before he could finish speaking, he had already set off and walked towards the door.

Dongfang Shuo looked left and right at the gate of Zhai Mansion, but found that this mansion was completely new from the inside out, from the wall to the brick and stone steps.

It's one thing to be cleaned from time to time, but it's probably more important that this mansion has just been built.

And because of this, it is not difficult to speculate that the owner of this Zhai Mansion is very likely to be the upstart who was promoted due to the turmoil ten years ago.

But despite knowing this, Dongfang Shuo's heart was still full of doubts.

Why did Xu Changsheng meet him here?

And what does this have to do with what he wants to investigate?
