Chapter 1: The First Encounter in South Town
The most beautiful thing in life is to meet you in the most beautiful years, and our story begins here-
"Did you hear that there was another theft in the capital?"
"No, the treasure room of Supervisor Zhang's house has been ransacked, and the official mansion is busy again!"
"I heard that the imperial court this time even sent Lord Thunder Fenglei, who saw the head of the divine dragon without seeing the tail, to investigate this matter thoroughly. Because this is the third earth-shattering case in half a year......"
Yes, in the past two years, there have always been some wealthy officials and businessmen who have had their homes stolen from time to time. However, under the influence of this war and drought for many years, it is normal for thefts to occur, and the more people who are affected, the more difficult the life of the common people will be, and the worse the public order situation will be. People, you have to live, right?
Some people even heard that in the remote mountainous area, there is a place that is very rich, and the people can eat enough in this year, and they can settle there and live a stable life. Or maybe it's just a legend of people's yearning for a better life, right?
Nanzhen is a small town that focuses on farming. Surrounded by green hills, the land is fertile, and the folk customs are simple. It has the comfort and tranquility of a paradise.
At noon, the pedestrians who went out turned back to the town one after another. On the side streets, vendors carried goods from the city, chatting and laughing along the way, gossiping about new things from all over the world. Slowly follow the flow of people into the town. Everything is full of vitality, as if every quiet day in previous years. Who knows, this will be the last comfort of Nanzhen, and the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings......
This year is another year of great drought. It's been two years in a row. In addition to the officials who have public offices in the whole country, ordinary people are also fortunate to be able to have food and clothing. Unless a lot of surplus food has been accumulated in the past few years. Or it is the wealthy businessmen who are not affected by the drought. As a result, robberies and robberies occur from time to time. Local officials are also suffering because of the law and order situation.
But this situation did not affect Nanzhen in the slightest. The life of the residents here is still comfortable and comfortable. The sun rises and the sun sets. The children on the street can still eat meat soup every once in a while.
In fact, everyone also speculates, saying that the owner of Nanzhen is well-managed, and has accumulated a lot of surplus grain and money in the past few years. Since last year, food and vegetables have been distributed to the town's residents every quarter. The elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled can also receive more supplies. With such parents and officials, the people of Nanzhen also live and work in peace and contentment, and they can even stay at night without closing their doors and leaving no roads behind.
As the saying goes, the wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. Such a wealthy Nanzhen has become a rare top town in the whole country. It has also become the target of refugees and other town owners. As a result, there have always been some outsiders of unknown origin who have visited Nanzhen recently, and there is no longer the calm in Nanzhen in the past.
On this day, Tian Qi, who was still dressed in men's clothes, was as usual, knocking melon seeds in the teahouse in the town, eating snacks, and enjoying the time leisurely. The loft on the second floor is not big, but tasteful. The most important thing is to be able to see everything downstairs. With her cultivation, even a fly cannot escape her eyes. Nanzhen is her territory, where she can completely let down her guard and enjoy the tranquility of the breeze.
There was a soft couch in the attic, which was a special place for her to take a nap, and she often came every once in a while. Lying on the soft collapse, listening to the storyteller's wonderful anecdotes one after another, at this moment, Tian Qi was closing his eyes and recuperating.
Suddenly, there seemed to be a strange smell mixed with a bitter chill in the air, spreading in the warm teahouse of May. The last breath circled around the hall on the first floor, and it was like a light coming straight to the attic window where she was. Linger and stand in front of her soft couch. made Tian Qi shiver inexplicably!
It was the first time in sixteen years that she felt strangely unwell. Her intuition told her that the martial arts cultivation of the comer was above her. If you can use internal force to shock the audience, you must not be an idle person! Tian Qi opened his eyes suddenly, turned over, stood in front of the window and subconsciously looked at the first floor:
In the center of the hall on the first floor, a man stood. He is tall and long, wearing a dark robe embroidered with delicate patterns of light or dark. The robe was a dark red tulle, and the fine fabric swayed as he paced.
Such a man dressed gracefully and luxuriously, the important thing is that this person looks like Pan An, just looking at these facial features, each one is of the highest quality. Together, it becomes a stunning picture.
But with such a handsome face, the whole body exudes the aura of not being approached. It was as if every step he took was a step closer to the temperature around him dropping by one degree. He slowly raised his head, a pair of cold eyes like two sharp swords, wanting to pierce Tian Qi and stab him!
Handsome, senlen, yes, and arrogant!
Who is Tian Qi? Little Overlord! What's more, it's still her territory! Yes, momentum can't be lost! Tian Qi jumped down from the attic, and landed lightly opposite the man. A pair of Danfeng eyes stared at each other, their faces were like peach blossoms, but they were cold and inviolable!
In this way, neither side spoke, looked at each other, and did not move. Even the entourage behind the man seemed to have forgotten to move. seems to be shocked by the two sons in front of him? Or can't bear to spoil the picturesque scenery in front of you?
In the end, Tian Qi came back to his senses and opened his mouth first, "Where is Your Excellency?" The town is a poor and remote place, and it is really flourishing when you come here! ”
"In the thunderstorm, because there is something important to come to your town, where you are disturbed, please Haihan!" After speaking, he bowed his head slightly, which was counted as a return gift. "Oh, then please take care of yourself!" Tian Qi also returned the salute sideways and turned away in a dashing manner. Without a hint of hesitation, he walked out of the teahouse quickly.
The cold gaze behind her was like a brush, or a pair of invisible hands, caressing her back, with cold lines, making her want to flee from here quickly. As a result, the pace became faster and faster, and in a blink of an eye, it disappeared into the flow of people in the town. It wasn't until the warm sunlight behind him hit his back that Tian Qi subconsciously touched his forehead. What's going on today? There is a kind of anxiety about running away. Laughed self-deprecatingly, alas, inexplicably......
This was the most embarrassing time Tian Qi could remember. What's more, it's still on its own turf, and it's still losing so badly. With this momentum, this guy must not be good. But judging from his experience in the rivers and lakes over the years, this person is high-end in terms of temperament, image, and demeanor. It's not like the kind of brocade clothes that those treacherous people brought out from their bones, and the filth can't be concealed. And this person, although he is dressed luxuriously and is still very arrogant, makes the "old Jianghu" himself see Ling Ran's anger at first sight. Will he bring disaster to Southtown?
