Chapter 22: Chifeng City and the Thieves
"Pedal ~ Pedal"
A horse-drawn carriage sped along the forest path, and the brown and yellow horses were sturdy and fast. As you travel, you get dusty all the way.
Inside the carriage.
Chen Xiaoxiao leaned on Chen Huai's side sleepily, yawning a few times from time to time, as if she hadn't rested well last night.
"That's... Xiaoxiao.. Didn't you sleep in your tent last night? What about me?" Chen Huai said with some embarrassment.
"I don't know?" Chen Xiaoxiao lowered her head, bit her fingers and muttered, "I don't remember." ”
Chen Huai scratched his head suspiciously, is sleepwalking? But even if it is sleepwalking, how could I not notice it? What a strange?
Chen Huai already has a good spiritual power, and after cultivating the Imperial Spirit Divine Determination for many years, his perception has been greatly improved, even if he was asleep at the time, it was impossible not to notice Chen Xiaoxiao's approach.
Chen Huai was thinking about why his perception had made a mistake.
At this time, Chen Xiaoxiao suddenly came over, leaned on Chen Huai's shoulder, his eyes closed slightly, and he fell asleep leaning on Chen Huai like this.
Being clinged to by the girl who had just met made Chen Huai a little restrained, but seeing Chen Xiaoxiao's delicate sleeping appearance, he didn't wake her up and let her snuggle up beside him.
Looking at the sleeping Chen Xiaoxiao, Chen Huai secretly said that this girl is too defenseless.
At this time, Chen Huai found that Chen Xiaoxiao was wearing a purple-black ring on his hand, which was simple in shape and carved with fine patterns.
I didn't see her wearing a ring yesterday?hmm..... Am I mistaken?
Chen Huai didn't delve into it, after all, space rings were not a rare thing, and most families could afford a space ring of slightly worse quality. The price of a space ring is divided by its storage space and stability, and Chen Huai's space is huge and stable, which can be regarded as a high-quality space ring.
Chen Huai glanced at Chen Xiaoxiao beside him, this ring seems to be of good quality, I think this girl's family environment should be good, and her parents are a little spoiled, so it will be so simple.

As the sun sets, the sun converges its dazzling light, and the afterglow of the setting sun casts on the earth, and a large area of burning clouds is entrenched in this Chifeng City.
As soon as Chen Huai and the others arrived here, they were stopped by the soldiers guarding the city.
The three of them immediately got out of the car, and while a soldier in armor was inspecting the carriage, another soldier came over with a pen and paper and said.
"Name, where are you, what are you doing in Chifeng City?"
Li Qing hurriedly stepped forward and responded: "Lord Bing, my name is Li Qing, his name is Chen Huai, and her name is Chen Xiaoxiao. We are all from Canglin City, and we are going to Yanming City to pass by this Chifeng City to rest for one night. ”
After saying that, Li Qing secretly handed the soldier a small cloth bag and asked, "Lord Bing, what's the matter, how strict is the sudden investigation." ”
Looking at the cloth bag that Li Qing quietly handed over, the soldier quietly accepted it and said in a low voice: "The City Lord's Mansion has lost something, now the people who come and go into the city are strictly investigated, don't go out and wander around at night." ”
Hearing this, Li Qing hurriedly thanked him, "Thank you, Lord Bing reminded me." ”
The soldier waved his hand, and when the other person finished checking the carriage, he let Chen Huai and the three of them go and entered this Chifeng City.
When entering the city, there was a rule: civilians were not allowed to drive horse-drawn carriages in the city. Li Qing got out of the car and led the horse rope and walked forward leisurely.
The carriage walked slowly, and after staying on the carriage for a long time, it couldn't help but be a little boring, so Chen Huai got out of the carriage and prepared to see the customs of this Chifeng City.
When Chen Xiaoxiao saw Chen Huai go down, he also followed, walked beside Chen Huai, greeted the slight breeze and sunset, and strolled on the streets of Chifeng City.
About 20 kilometers west of this Chifeng City, there is a high mountain called Chifeng Mountain, and there is a kind of mountain stone called Chijin Stone that is abundant in the mountain.
Although this red tendon stone is a three-grade material, it is extremely hard, and it is difficult to leave traces by ordinary sword slashing. It is used to build defensive buildings such as city walls and towers, and has successfully resisted the attack of the enemy army many times, so it has become famous for thousands of miles, and this city is also named after this Chifeng Mountain.
Due to the existence of this red tendon stone, this Chifeng City is quite prosperous, and it is not inferior to Canglin City with a green forest next to it.
I don't know if it's because of this Chifeng, the houses in this Chifeng City are more or less red, in the sunset, exude a faint red light, this red street, like a beautiful picture.
In the evening, the twilight was vast, and the flaming body of the sun was obscured by the tall red peaks, leaving only a faint afterglow projected onto the earth.
Tong'an Inn.
This is a small inn, located in a relatively remote location in Chifeng City, the decoration of the inn is fresh and simple, the interior is clean and bright, the facilities and services are complete, and the price is affordable and close to the people, for Chen Huai and others, it is a good place.
In the inn, they simply ordered a few side dishes, and after eating, Chen Huai and the others came to their rooms.
The room was small but tidy, with a simple bed in the corner, a wooden desk and hangers.
Chen Huai stood in front of the window, looking at the scene of this Chifeng City, he had never been to this Chifeng City, and he wanted to take this opportunity to rest and have a look, but after listening to the words of the soldiers, the idea of playing could only be stopped.
Chen Huai looked quietly for a while, then went to bed and sat down cross-legged, and began to cultivate, he did not choose the Imperial Spirit Divine Decision that could replace rest, but cultivated spiritual power.
Although the spirit god can definitely relieve fatigue and restore energy and a certain amount of physical strength like sleep, it is not really sleep and rest after all.
After two days of tiring travel, he was a little sore, but he still wanted to lie down and sleep well.
Since it was still early and there was nothing else to do, I chose to temporarily cultivate spiritual power for a while.
The free aura between heaven and earth, accompanied by Chen Huai's gentle breathing, was transformed into pure spiritual power, slowly entering the meridians in the body, and converging into the ninth pulse vein.......
The Tongmai Realm is the most important nine meridians in the human body. The Qi Refining Realm is to refine and compress the spiritual power in the nine veins, making its spiritual power more refined.

"What, have you caught the thief?"
"Back to my lord, the villain found the bodies of the three brothers of the thief Yang family in the Chitong Forest. ”
"Huh, corpses, what about the secret treasure?"
"Yes, my lord, when the villain arrived, the three of them were dead, and the secret treasure and other treasures were no longer on them. ”
"Oh, so to speak, it should be the one who killed them and seized the secret treasure, how did those three people die?"
"Lord Hui, the bodies of the three of them are charred black and have a large area of carbonization on the surface of their bodies, because they were attacked by extremely high temperatures before they died, because they were done by fire soul masters above the Qi Mansion Realm. ”
"Qi Mansion Realm, Fire System?...... That's it, pay attention to the movement of the seal wrapped jade, and as soon as you react, immediately lock the position and hunt down the arrester to retrieve the secret treasure. ”
"Yes, sir!"
