Therefore, Feihong City's request was very excessive, and Baoyu was not obliged to agree to them. But the Hongyuan City Lord is not easy to find others, only Baoyu, the master, is the party concerned, knows all the inside information, and has such skills.

The Hongyuan City Lord explained: "Such a request is difficult for some strong people, but I really can't find anyone to help me in my eagerness. After Mr. Xiao left the city, if he could trace the whereabouts of Yan Candle, he would shoot if he was willing to do so. If it really can't be traced, Feihong City will not be reluctant. But in any case, the city will do its best to repay the reward. ”

They thought that Baoyu would have to excuse himself, but the little gentleman nodded happily and said, "Actually, you don't need to ask, if I have a clue about Yan Zhu after I leave the city, I will kill him and ask him why he did that." Not only did he deserve to die, but he also ordered me to be killed. ”

The Hongyuan City Lord said with relief: "Thank you, Mr. Xiao! No matter what you have any requirements, Feihong City will try its best to meet them." ”

Baoyu waved his hand and said, "I don't have any requirements, but I have a problem." I'm just a passing monk, and I've helped you enough. As far as I know, the day before yesterday, a monk from the Five Realms came to visit, and she lived in the city and was also a national worker. Why didn't the lord ask her to help? But you can tell her the truth, just like you did to me. ”

Hongyuan and Murabao glanced at each other, their expressions were a little strange, and they secretly said in their hearts that although this little gentleman looks calm and detached, sometimes he really talks and does things like a child. There are some things that don't need to be asked at all, but if he does, then it will be difficult to answer.

There is indeed a monk of the Five Realms and a co-worker of the country, Xin Lan, who lives in Feihong City. She visited the door the morning after Baoyu arrived, but was blocked by the lord of the city. It is not so easy to ask a national worker to help, not to mention whether Xinlan will agree, and Hongyuan does not want her to know the inside story before the official announcement of the news.

Xinlan was born in a very powerful local clan, and if she hadn't been a woman, she would probably have replaced Hongyuan as the city lord of Feihong City two years ago. Even if she is a woman, with the status of a monk of the Five Realms, and the support of the local clan, there is nothing wrong with being the lord of the city.

At the beginning, the monarch and the princes of the country did not want to control Feihong City, an important city with a vast area and a large population, to a local clan, so they sent Hongyuan from the royal family. Now that this kind of thing has happened, it is not good that someone will take this opportunity to remove the city lord of Hongyuan, how can Hongyuan ask Xinlan for help?

But these words were not easy to say directly, Hongyuan had to explain: "Mr. Xinlan is a woman, good at refining medicine and picking tea, and the tea you have drunk in the past few days is what she has refined. Although his cultivation is high, he has never heard of fighting with others in ordinary times. really when it comes to killing methods, it may not be comparable to people in the military formation such as Nong Neng and Yan Candle. ”

Baoyu nodded and said: "I see, the tea I have drunk in the past few days is all from Mr. Xinlan's hand, so I have to thank her well, please convey it to the city lord for me." Now that I've said that, it's time for me to take my leave, I've been here for two days, and I'm going to go out to get a good look at the city, and then I'll go after the candle. If you can take them down and find out the truth, you will also give a reply to the castle lord. ”

Baoyu spoke and did things very simply, and stood up to leave as she spoke. Hongyuan hurriedly stopped him and said, "Little sir, these golden ......"

It turned out that the plate of gold was still on the table, Baoyu shook his head and said, "It's too heavy, I have to hurry, it's inconvenient to carry it with me, so I won't take it." ”

It was indeed inconvenient to travel with so much gold on his back, but these words made the Hongyuan City Lord cry and laugh. Can a person who has such a large sum of gold still walk with things on his back?" he hurriedly said: "The little gentleman is traveling alone, and he is not driving with a servant, but it doesn't matter, I can prepare it for you." Tell them where you want to go next. ”

The lord of Hongyuan City begged Baoyu to do something, but he was not stingy at all, and immediately said that he would give Baoyu his car and the two best horses in the house, and sent a pair of boys and girls as servants to serve the daily life of his journey, and another middle-aged slave was the royal hand of the car.

In those days, slaves were certainly loyal to their masters, otherwise they would not be able to gain a foothold in the world. Baoyu can take a car when she goes out, and if she goes out alone to run errands, she can also let the car wait in a designated city or village. The accompanying car of a national worker will be welcomed and well placed anywhere, and the Hongyuan City Lord is very thoughtful.

Baoyu shook his head and refused the kindness of the city lord, the mountain god ordered him to travel all over the five countries of Bayuan, and although it was comfortable to accompany him with a car and a servant, it was very inconvenient, and it was too easy to expose his whereabouts, and he did not have this habit. He pointed to the plate of gold again and said, "Didn't the city lord say that if you want to care for the righteous soldiers who died in battle and the dead and wounded villagers in Baixi Village, then use this gold." ”

Mura Bao was startled, and hurriedly waved his hand to explain: "Little sir, this is the city lord's respect and gratitude to you. As for the bereavement and reward of the righteous and the villagers, the city will arrange it by itself, and the money and food will not come from here.

Baoyu asked again, "Is there another arrangement?"

...

The little gentleman didn't know the value of this plate of gold, so he had to bite the bullet and say, "Not comparable." ”

Baoyu smiled: "That's right, take out half of it." ”

The city lord stretched out his hand and wiped his forehead: "I can't help it!"

Baoyu: "How can this not be done? Since you want to give it to me, I have the final say on what to do with it." ”

The city lord hurriedly replied: "Don't bother, don't bother!"

Anyway, Baoyu just didn't take it, and the city lord had no choice, so he had to say: "Then let's do it according to Mr. Xiao's wishes, these gold are stored here first, and if you are useful, you can order someone to take it at any time." As long as I am still the lord of Feihong City in the future, this city will try my best to meet all your requirements. ”

Baoyu finally walked out of the city lord's mansion, and the city lord wanted to send an entourage to accompany him to visit the city outline, but he also refused on the spot. Baoyu came to the city square alone, took out a small bamboo whistle from his bosom and blew it in his mouth. Strangely, the bamboo whistle did not make a sound, at least not a sound that ordinary ears could hear.

After a while, a puppy with a flower tail came out of nowhere. Running quickly to Baoyu's side, it was Xiaotian. There were also several dogs in the distance. He was looking this way with his head probed, but he didn't dare to come closer.

When I was in Lu Village, there was only one dog in the village, Xiaotian, who always regarded himself as a member of the clan, and even learned to look like a human when he slept and sat down. But Feihong City is different, there are many people in the city with dogs, and some dogs are also running around in the streets and alleys on weekdays, and Xiaotian has encountered a lot in the past few days.

Some male dogs saw a strange guy coming to the city. As if he was going to grab the territory, he called his friends to teach it a lesson. Unexpectedly, Xiaotian didn't even bare his teeth, just glared at them with dog eyes, and those dogs hid far away with their tails between their legs. There are also many who have discovered Xiaotian's extraordinary, wagging their tails and trying to get on the front cover, but Xiaotian is not interested, and he doesn't even realize what he should be interested in.

After Xiaotian entered the city. I first went to the house of the soldier Lin Yan, searched everywhere and sniffed it. Of course, it couldn't ask where Lin Yan lived, but there was no need to ask anyone, because the City Lord's Mansion had sent someone to "invite" Lin Yan that night, and Xiao Tian just had to follow.

Early the next morning, Xiaotian slipped out of the city again. No one knows where it went, let alone know that this is what Baoyu secretly confessed. On the morning of the third day, Xiaotian came back again, and he wandered around the city when he had nothing to do, especially he liked to drill into crowded places, and he liked to watch any excitement.

When Baoyu summoned it with a whistle. Xiao Tian, who had figured out the situation in the city, became a guide and took Baoyu to visit all the lanes in Feihong City. The focus was on the places it had been interested in, and it also passed by the residences of Lin Yan and Nongneng, as well as the military camps and warehouses in the city.

Their last stop was the bazaar. The bazaar here is much larger than that of Shuangliuzhai, and there are many specialized shops selling the products of the various cities in the country. Unlike ordinary stalls, shops do not sell and exchange goods for their own use, but specialize in buying and selling goods for profit. Baoyu also saw a lot of things that were only introduced by the mountain god with divine thoughts before, and there were many things that he had never heard of before.

Baoyu didn't buy anything, and he didn't seem to need to buy anything, but just watched the crowd and tried to figure out the purpose of all kinds of novelty things, and secretly investigated their properties. Most of the products sold in the bazaar are products from all over the world and utensils made by mortals, and occasionally you can see some treasures, which are specially made for the concentration of manpower and material resources, or refined by monks with supernatural powers, all of which are of great value.

Only then did Baoyu have a very clear idea, how valuable was the plate of gold that Lord Hongyuan wanted to give him, and he could go from here to there in the place where the bow and arrow were shot, and buy all the things in the shops on the side of the passing. And listening to people bargaining and appreciating various items is also quite interesting, and Baoyu also stepped forward curiously from time to time to interject a few words.

Although some treasures can be seen in the shops here, not a single magic weapon can be seen, and it is obvious that some things cannot be bought in such shops, and there are other ways and circles for the exchange and exchange of goods between monks. But Baoyu is very serious and attentive, the world's masters refine all kinds of utensils, although there are special magical powers, but their forms are also from these everyday things, not completely created out of thin air.

Baoyu and Xiaotian were watching the excitement, but someone next to him exclaimed: "Isn't this the national worker! You also came to visit the market? When you entered the city that day, I was next to me, and I saw with my own eyes the magic magic you performed!"

Feihong City is such a large city, of course, there have been many national workers over the years, which is not a particularly unusual thing. But no national worker entered the city, there was such a sensation as Baoyu, and no one showed a token at the city gate, and he also used the magic weapon method to use his magical powers, which opened the eyes of ordinary people.

In the simple notions of ordinary people, this national worker is different, and probably the most capable one! Why? Because no one else has shown such a miraculous method.

Baoyu's appearance in the bazaar and being recognized in public also caused quite a stir, and people worshipped one after another. The shopkeeper, who was a little impatient when he saw that Baoyu only opened his mouth to inquire but did not buy anything, was also startled, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute and apologize. He invited Baoyu into the room behind the shop to sit down, and if he wanted to find something, he just had to ask, and he would find it and present it.

When Baoyu saw this scene, he knew that he could no longer visit the market, so he waved his hand so that everyone did not have to be polite, and then left with Xiaotian and left the city from the west gate. He did not stay long in the city, nor did he leave his name.

......

The female monk of the Five Realms who lives in the city, Guogong Xinlan, visited Baoyu two days ago but did not succeed, and today I overheard the servant's report that the little gentleman walked out of the city lord's mansion and was visiting the market. Xinlan wanted to visit again, but she felt that the market was really inconvenient, and she was also a little reserved, she had already come to the door to ask to see and leave a message last time, this time it should be Baoyu to see her.

So Xinlan sent a maid to the bazaar to invite Baoyu to come to the mansion as a guest, and after a while, the maid reported that the little gentleman had left the bazaar and left the city, and she did not find anyone.

Xinlan felt quite unhappy, and secretly said in her heart that this national worker did not know how to be polite, she had already gone to visit, and the other party always had to come to say hello before leaving the city, how could she only know how to visit the market?

The maid replied, "I have not seen the legendary little gentleman either, but many have seen him with their own eyes, and it is said that he is described as a very young and handsome young man, which is astonishing...... Sir, you are unparalleled in beauty, but your cultivation is too high, and it is difficult to find a partner in this Feihong City. And that national worker may have entered your eyes, but unfortunately he couldn't meet you. ”

The maid said that Xinlan's mind was right, she cultivated to be superb and beautiful, but because her cultivation was too high, it was not easy to find a man who was in love. She can't look down on ordinary people, her status is comparable, and her age is not comparable. When the current city lord Hongyuan first arrived in Feihong City, he also expressed his intention to marry her.

Of course, the city lord has a noble status, and his age is barely too big, less than forty years, but Xinlan still hasn't taken a fancy to it. She didn't want an ordinary man, if so, then all over the city. As a monk of the Five Realms, what she is looking for is someone who can cultivate to the realm, describe the appearance of the year, and have the temperament and temperament, and can join hands to find the path to heaven.

With this kind of thinking, it is too difficult to meet the right people. Xinlan was a little unhappy because of Baoyu's faux pas, and when she heard the maid say this, she was even more unhappy, and she felt a little disappointed, but she was even more curious about this little gentleman. If she had the opportunity to meet again in the future, she would have to take a good look at who he was, and ask him why he was rude in the first place.

When Xinlan thought so, he immediately heard a shocking news announced by the city lord. It turned out that the national worker did not pass by the city by chance, but came to the city lord for something important.

It is said that the army led by Nong Neng, the deputy commander, found traces of the rogue on the way to patrol the city, but was ambushed during the pursuit, and the whole army was finally destroyed. Even Lin Yan, the soldier who went out of the city to investigate, is now missing, and it is likely that he was also poisoned by the rogues.

At that time, the rogues appeared near Baixi Village, and the righteous Lingbao, Shiyu, Beixi, and Yunxi gathered the villagers, and with the help of the demon clan who rushed to hear the news, they killed this group of murderous rogues. Such a powerful rogue, of course, is not so easy to eliminate, there is a skilled cultivation and great power of the national worker happened to pass by, and killed the leader of the rogue with a shot, which played a decisive role.

That national worker is a very young and handsome young man, and he is the little gentleman who has lived in the city lord's mansion these days!

Xinlan is not an ordinary person who is shocked but also full of doubts, she feels that there should be something else at this time, but in any case, the little gentleman who passed by the city must have an extraordinary background and even more extraordinary cultivation, so it is a pity to miss and not meet!

Baoyu, who had already left the city, didn't know the thoughts of Xinlan's daughters, and he didn't plan to tell his identity, so he didn't meet and communicate with another national worker in the city. The mountain god had already told him that the national work token could not be easily presented, unless it was necessary to use it on a very important occasion, but he had to leave quickly afterwards, so as not to be entangled in too many idle things.

Baoyu didn't expect in advance that after coming to Bayuan, he would show the national work token, but the things he encountered were big enough!

Baoyu, who walked through the city, seemed to have undergone indescribable changes in his breath, and he was perhaps more mature than the boy who had just walked out of the wilderness, he not only enjoyed the fireworks in the world, but also contaminated with too much breath in the world. The mountain god asked him to come to Ba Yuan, that is, to experience in the journey, and to be in the human world, he should integrate into the breath of the world, and then he can talk about true detachment.

After leaving the city, Xiao Tian ran ahead of Baoyu, and they crossed the Minshui before sunset.

Between Lu Village and the Taihao Ruins, you have to climb over a snow-capped peak all year round. The melting snow in the mountains converged into a trickle, passing through the long wasteland into Bayuan, and gathering countless tributaries of all sizes, passing through Gaocheng and entering the territory of Feihong City, which is the rushing river in front of Baoyu. There is a bridge on the Minshui River, this bridge spans the east and west and has more than 20 zhang long, and it is very spectacular to look at it from afar.

At the beginning, the traffic of Minshui had to rely on another pontoon bridge, and the pontoon bridge was built with many thick bamboo cables on the high ground on both banks, and the middle was paved with wooden planks, which was very inconvenient to use, so it was surprising to have such a bridge.
