Xiangbei Road, Haiyan City.

As the largest city in the southwest of the Northern Tang Dynasty, the streets and alleys here are far wider than those of ordinary prefectures and counties, with countless shops on both sides, and the road is full of traffic, a prosperous scene.

When the New Year is approaching, the lights along the street are colorful, and the flavor of the New Year is quite strong. There are also many residents shopping to buy New Year's goods, and there are crowds of people everywhere, which is still noisy and lively.

In the vast crowd, a pair of young men and women walked forward in the crowd, with handsome appearances that were pleasing to the eye.

After leaving Yunyao Sect, Ren Zhen rushed back to the Eagle Vision Hall, and within a few days, he hurriedly ran out with Mo Yuqing.

The people here are not familiar with the place, and there is no need to borrow the identity of the Sword Saint, the two of them have restored their true appearances, and in the eyes of passers-by, they really have a bit of the charm of a talented woman.

Mo Yuqing was petite, her cheeks were flushed by the crowd, and she panted slightly.

"This Haiyan City is too prosperous! When I was a child, I went to Chang'an, the capital, and there was no such exaggeration......"

Ren Zhen carried the sword box in his hand, walked in front, turned around and smiled: "What do you think this place is?" As the first granary in Jiangbei, this Haiyan City is fertile for thousands of miles, and the farmers and merchants are prosperous, and it is a treasure land for growing grain and raising people, which is normal! ”

There is a word in the Northern Tang Dynasty called "Haiyan River Qing", which is used as a metaphor for the peace of the world. The origin of this word comes from this Haiyan City.

Haiyan and Qinghe are located in the Xiangjiang River basin, which is the largest grain town in the north and is related to the economic lifeline of the entire Northern Tang Dynasty. As long as these two places are prosperous and the wind and rain are smooth, they can ensure that Datang has sufficient food throughout the year, and the country and the people are healthy.

This shows the importance of Haiyan.

Mo Yuqing rolled her eyes, glared at him fiercely, and said angrily: "It's not good to go anywhere, I have to pick this kind of place where dragons and snakes are mixed, let me suffer with it!" ”

After Ren Zhen returned to the Eagle Vision Hall, Mo Yingshou specially presented an extremely detailed secret report, which recorded many recent incidents in the world, no matter how big or small, for his reference.

The amount of information in that secret report was amazing, and some of the clues in it made Ren Zhen very interested, thinking that he could use the topic to play and use it to make a fuss about the next move.

However, in the end, his attention fell on a seemingly innocuous trivial matter, and he ignored other clues and decided to take Haiyan City first.

This matter is not big, but it is not small, it is a civil official named Liu Chuanfeng who was transferred to the history of Xiangbei Thorn, and he just came to Haiyan not long ago to take office.

He has nothing to do with this assassin master, and it stands to reason that he shouldn't be specifically targeted. But he quickly sniffed out a hint of danger.

"It's not that I want to come here, but the other party's next move is here, and I have to see the move and have a good time with her."

Ren Zhen stretched out his hand and dragged Mo Yuqing to his side, worried that she would get lost in the crowd.

"What chess?" Mo Yuqing was suspicious, and asked in a low voice: "Lord Fang, who is your opponent who plays chess?" How did I not know? ”

After the Yunyao Rebellion subsided, she thought that Ren Zhen should take her to Chang'an to take the exam, and she was looking forward to it every day.

Unexpectedly, his arrangement was unexpected, contrary to each other, and it was confusing.

Ren Zhen smiled faintly and didn't answer her question, his eyes flashing.

"In the first round of this game of chess, the south went back and forth, and in the final analysis, she made a little cheaper, but I didn't suffer a loss. As for the second round, I'm going to switch to offense......"

Mo Yuqing heard the clouds and mountains and fog, and didn't know why, "What are we going to do?" Where to go now? ”

Ren Zhen paused slightly, touched his smooth chin, looked through the vast crowd, and looked at the end of the long street, "Now, help me catch someone first." ”

"Who?" Mo Yuqing began to roll up her sleeves and was eager to try.

Ren Zhen didn't answer, and squeezed forward by himself.

……

……

There is a deep alley in the east of the city, which is inhabited by dignitaries and dignitaries, there are no ordinary shops and houses, it is secluded and deserted, and there are few pedestrians.

Haiyan is a wealthy city, and there are many large families with profound heritage. Every ten zhang of this street, there is a mansion, with wide doors and wide plaques, and stone lions sit in the town, which is majestic and magnificent.

Especially the one in the deepest part of the street, with red walls and green tiles, flying eaves and arches, looking from a distance, only to see its towering walls, a forest, can not see the geometry of the area.

The most admirable and enviable thing is the couplet on the red pillar of the mansion gate. Its words are majestic, floating like clouds, like a dragon, and the degree of strength is the best in the world, which can be called "the first line of books in the world".

Such elegant calligraphy naturally comes from the handwriting of today's bookmaker Wang Xizhi.

He was willing to treat his ink treasure as a couplet at the door, and did not bundle it in the high pavilion to admire, because this is the mansion of Lord Shujue!

Wang Xizhi is respected as Haiyan Taishou, a rich party. And the Haiyan Wang clan is the leader of the Xiangbei Shi clan and a well-deserved first family.

The plaque of Wangfu is even more majestic than the official yamen.

At this moment, Ren Zhen and Mo Yuqing were squatting in the shadows around the corner, staring at the door of Wang's mansion sneakily. That's the goal of their trip.

I don't know how long later, the huge bronze door of Wang's mansion opened, and a young man walked out.

This man was about twenty years old, richly dressed, frivolous, with a precious ancient fan in his left hand, and a golden wire birdcage in his right hand.

It is the only son of Lord Shujue, Wang Yuan.

In the corner, Ren Zhen saw this Wang Gongzi slowly approaching, and his eyes suddenly lit up, "He's out!" ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Mo Yuqing and pushed her out.

Mo Yuqing stabilized her figure, buried her head deeply, grabbed the placket of her clothes with both hands, and walked up quickly.

Bang! I don't know whether intentionally or unintentionally, she just collided with Wang Yuan in front of her, and both of them stumbled and took a few steps backwards on their backs.

Seeing this, Mo Yuqing's expression suddenly panicked, and she said in a trembling voice: "It's the slave family who is reckless, and he just cares about burying his head in the road." Please don't blame Childe! ”

After that, she squatted for a long time, and hurriedly avoided Wang Yuan, wanting to make a detour to leave from one side.

Wang Yuan was stunned at first, staring at her petite and cute body, and couldn't help but have a lewd smile on his face. He retreated sharply, and blocked Mo Yuqing's body, blocking the way.

"Girl, raise your head and let Ben Gongzi see!"

As he spoke, he leaned forward, approached Mo Yuqing, and reached out to pick her small chin.

When they bumped into each other just now, he glanced at it casually and found that this girl had clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, quite a bit of the aura of a small jasper, and there was a girl's fragrance on her body, which immediately made him itch.

As soon as he went out, he hit the peach blossom luck, Wang Gongzi's heart was full of joy, it seems that today's Yanfu is not shallow!

Mo Yuqing raised her head timidly, looking at his ill-intentioned lewd smile, and a faint flush suddenly rippled on her cheeks, becoming more and more charming.

How dare she go any further, she hurriedly turned around and ran back, and in a flash turned into another alley.

"Want to run?" Seeing this, Wang Yuan snorted lightly, and the interest in his eyes became stronger, "The entire Haiyan City belongs to Lao Tzu, where else can you run!" ”

Imagining the glamorous scene of stripping the girl naked in the corner, he swallowed his spit and couldn't wait to catch up with him and follow him into the alley.
