The vermilion towering city gate opens quietly, and the mottled rust and pits seem to state the footprints of the vicissitudes of history. A glimmer of sunlight opened wider and wider through the gap in the gate, and a wide blue brick road paved forward, reflecting the mellow and soft clear light.

Chu Qi followed the man in the strong suit in front of him, and several eight-horse-drawn carts behind him, slowly following, every step under his hooves seemed to be filled with heavy lead, and he walked inch by inch.

Convective winds blow along the streets, making it cool even in the summer. Rows of shops and shops have collected the guards and opened the doors to welcome customers; the peddlers and pawns push their carts all the way down the street, and in the blazing steamed bun steamers, the hot air is billowing on their faces, and the strong fragrance of marinade sauce wafts from nowhere, which can not help but attract Chu Qi's mouth; the simple and elegant ornaments are dazzling, and the green vegetable shops are piled up; three or five children surround the candy shop, watching the craftsmen skillfully playing with the syrup, salivating; after a while, the street is full of people, and the scene of the market is like a market.

Chu Qi secretly wondered, how could the life outside the city be so different, the people outside the city could not keep their money, and their lives were frugal, and it was a great fortune to be able to live with food and clothing, not to mention the prosperity in the city, it was like a fool's dream for them.

A group of people and horses marched to the post station, and the guards behind the car untied the horse-drawn rope one after another, and placed it in the trough for rectification, and the man in the strong suit turned around and said coldly: "This way." ”

The two walked into the alley, and the man clasped his hands on his chest and asked, "Who are you?"

Chu Qi said with a smile: "When Poor Dao first came, didn't you say it, it was Chu Qi of the Shangqing Courtyard below." ”

"Can you prove it?"

Chu Qi took out the Daowang Decree from his arms, the man reached out and took it, his hand was warm and cold, with a faint light, at a glance, he knew that it was extremely extraordinary, from the Daomen Sect, he looked left and right, and returned it to Chu Qi, and said: "I have never seen this thing, what is the purpose of your coming here?"

Chu Qi was slightly stunned, thinking that the "Daowang Order" originated from the Shangqing Academy, and some people in the Jialan Kingdom and the Yuelai Kingdom might know it, but when it came to the realm of the Middle Yuan Ancient Imperial Family, no one might eat this set, he made a Taoist salute and said: "Follow the master's order, and want to go to Youzhou with everyone in the master's family, which is called experience." ”

The man's pupils shrank, snorted coldly, and said, "Do you know who I am?"

Chu Qi shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”

"Then how do you know that this thing was sent to Youzhou?"

Chu Qi was stunned and said, "Poor Dao doesn't know where this thing is going. He paused and said, "It's just that it is rude to enter the west entrance and strike on the side only as a stopgap measure." ”

The man was silent, lost in thought, and seemed to be a little unable to turn around what Chu Qi said.

"Looking at your generals below, walking lightly, walking like the wind, and being uniform, they must be from the military department. I saw at the gate of the city that Your Excellency had brought something to the officers and soldiers guarding the city, and when I saw that he looked shocked and panicked, I knew that you were extraordinary. Chu Qi paused and said: "However, since I am a noble, why do I have to act mysteriously, when I came, I passed by the township and asked every family, and I didn't know anything about the outbreak of the Yin and Netherworld in Youzhou. Therefore, it is speculated that in order not to cause panic or act carefully, the dignitaries should be for the sake of Youzhou. ”

In addition, if the state is doing business in the DPRK, it should inform the local government to open the door of convenience, but this does not seem to be the case. Chu Qi looked at the man's shocked face, and said in amazement: "I think it's a matter that the DPRK and China have no chance to participate in, you... You shouldn't be a Hongjunguan, right!?"

The man's face turned blue, his fierce face was full of fierceness, and he said fiercely: "If it weren't for your Taoist robe, and an identity token of unknown origin, I would have killed you!"

Chu Qi said with a smile: "Hehehe, since you are a fellow believer, don't say these words of fighting and killing." ”

"Hmph, who is in the same way as you. The man's jaw twisted and he asked, "What do you mean by whether you are in a hurry or not?" ”

Chu Qi sighed: "This statement is only an expedient measure, and I just saw that Your Excellency looked anxious and panicked, so I made rash remarks, sorry, sorry." He touched his nose embarrassedly.

"What, you're actually shaking me?!" The man grabbed Chu Qi's shirt and scolded angrily, spitting stars flying around.

Chu Qi turned his cheeks, raised his hand and sleeves to block the front door, and said apologetically: "No, no, no, I can't say that I am completely shaking Your Excellency, but there is something unclear." He paused, looked down at the big green hand on the collar of his shirt, and said, "Can you let go of your hand and speak well." ”

The man's eyes were blazing, Yu Chuqi's frank gaze couldn't hold on, he snorted angrily, pushed him away, Chu Qi staggered back a few steps, straightened his clothes, and asked: "I'm really sorry, there is something unclear below, Your Excellency is Hongjunguan, flying, escape, divine beasts, and spells, but you can do everything, it is a hundred thousand urgent things, why do you want to use a horse-drawn cart, such a stupid way." ”

The man was dumbfounded and shouted, "What did you say!?"

Chu Qi hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." ”

"Hmph, I'll explain to you what these Shilaozi are doing, get out of here, Uncle Ben is unlucky today, he will hit his heel with a fart, your uncle's ......" After speaking, he turned around and left.

"Your Excellency, you are slow, there is a way to speed up the journey. ”

"What did you say?!" the man's burly body turned, and his two thick eyebrows and big eyes widened like copper bells, "Are you telling the truth?"

Chu Qi smiled and looked at the big hand that was grabbed again on the placket, and secretly wondered if this good man had a habit of taking people's necklines. The man's palm loosened, pointed at Chu Qi and said fiercely: "If you dare to shake me, no matter if you are behind the Dao King Daozun, if I don't cripple you today, I won't call Wang Hongtao." ”

Wang Hongtao scratched the end of his hair and said irritably: "Using a horse-drawn cart is a last resort." This thing weighs more than 10,000 catties, and the person who has the ability to fly the body is at least above the Daojun, traveling thousands of miles, and now the front line is tight, where can a few Daojun come; ”

"The front line is tight, how tight is it?" asked Chu Qi.

Wang Hongtao said in a deep voice: "It's tight!"

Chu Qi pondered for a moment and asked, "I wonder if Your Excellency has twelve ranks?"

"Uncle Ben is the head of the Nine Rank Dao, are you underestimating me. ”

Chu Qi smiled: "No, no, I have a twelve-grade light talisman here, maybe you can give it a try." ”

Wang Hongtao's face was full of astonishment, and he said: "Are you kidding me? The twelve-grade talisman is useful, and I have a six-grade great talisman master in Hongjun Temple, so why do you need this twelve-grade garbage." ”

This time, it was Chu Qi's turn to be stunned, and he said, "Since you have a six-grade talisman master, why don't you use it?"

Wang Hongtao was speechless for a while, and his face was flushed: "I... I... Our great talisman master has a lot of opportunities, how can we have time to draw these low-level talismans. ”

Chu Qi pondered for a moment and muttered to himself: "It should be a sixth-grade low-level talisman master, isn't it that the rune success rate is too low?"

Wang Hongtao pointed at Chu Qi: "You, you, you, you, you ......"

Chu Qi churned in the package for a while, took out a stack of talismans from it in a few breaths, and said, "One is not enough, one pile should be enough." ”

Wang Hongtao lowered his head and whispered, "Enough... That's enough. ”
