Chapter 19: Green Water City

Early in the morning of the second day, Li Jiahao said goodbye to his parents, put his packed bags into the space ring, and set out on the journey to the Kyoto of the Shengyao Empire with a white cloth wrapped in a white cloth on his back.

According to Li Jiahao's estimate, he spent about half a month on the road, riding the white horse rationed in the family, Li Jiahao had a relaxed and excited face, this time he went out without the restraint of his parents, so that Li Jiahao felt free and happy for the first time, spurred the horse all the way, galloped on the official road, and raised a piece of dust.

Just after noon, Li Jiahao left the border of his own territory and came to the vicinity of a small city in Yumu Province. Looking at the city gate not far from the fork of the official road, Li Jiahao thought for a while, and decided to go to the city for lunch first.

After making up his mind, Li Jiahao walked in the direction of the city gate of the fork road. When he arrived at the city gate, Li Jiahao saw many people gathering near the city gate from a distance, and there was a faint figure hanging on the city gate shelf.

Curious, Li Jiahao drove his horse to the vicinity of the crowd and dismounted to check. At this time, I saw that there was a bulletin board of a large government in front of the crowd, and a few official documents were newly pasted on it.

Announcement

Sun Xiaotong of the Sun family in Yumu Province, who has been involved in many murders, is unforgivable, and the officials in the province must arrest this woman within one month, regardless of life or death.

Anyone who discovers and reports the whereabouts of this woman will be rewarded with 100 purple gold coins, and 500 purple gold coins will be rewarded for being captured.

Yumu Province Governor's Mansion"

Announcement

Sun Xiaotong of the Sun clan of Yumu Province was successfully arrested in Qingshui City yesterday evening, and a torture rack was set up at the gate of Qingshui City to show the public for three days, taking it as a warning.

Anyone who attempts to ram into the torture rack will be punished according to the same party.

Qingshui City City Lord's Mansion"

(The currency on the continent of Taiya is 1 purple gold coin = 100 gold, 1 gold = 100 silver, 1 silver = 100 copper)

After reading the official document, Li Jiahao turned his head to look at the woman on the torture rack not far away, this woman's hair was scattered to block her face, making it difficult to see her face, her lips were white because of dryness, and a thin white shirt on her body was stained with blood, obviously she had been tortured, and a large group of city defense sergeants stood around, vigilantly paying attention to the pedestrians passing at the city gate.

At this time, a person next to Li Jiahao asked: "Fellow, I just arrived in Yumu Province not long ago, what did this woman do to make the government so fanfare?" Li Jiahao was attracted by this voice, his face was expressionless, but at this time, his ears were pricked up and he listened carefully to answer.

"You are a foreigner, no wonder you don't know the recent tragedy that caused a sensation in our Yumu Province, you don't know that our Yumu Province, the prince's family of five was poisoned by this woman, just because the prince's only son wanted to accept this woman as a concubine, and the woman did not agree, so she tried to poison the food, alas, it is really a vicious woman's heart. A man said indignantly.

"There is actually such a thing, this prince's family should have someone to test the poison before eating, how could she take advantage of it. At this time, another person in the crowd asked.

"Alas, I have heard that it seems that this woman ostensibly promised the prince to let the family relax their vigilance, and this woman took advantage of the opportunity to eat and secretly put the poison into the tea, so that the prince's family was on the way. Another voice in the crowd said.

Li Jiahao stood aside and listened to the words of the surrounding crowd, and gradually understood the ins and outs of the matter.

"It turned out to be a vicious woman, no wonder the official attaches so much importance to it and places such a generous reward, alas, it's a pity that I'm a step late, otherwise maybe I can fight for this bounty. Li Jiahao shook his head and didn't care. 100,500 purple gold coins may be a lot of money for ordinary people, but Li Jiahao, who has been holding a golden spoon since he was a child, seems to be nothing more than that, and what he cares about may be the process of catching the gangsters.

After the commotion at the city gate, Li Jiahao finally stepped into the first new city in the true sense of his life.

In Canglan Province, Li Jiahao has also been to many small cities like Qingshui City, but the entire Canglan Province is controlled by the Li family, just like visiting his own back garden, and he was still young at that time, and he usually went to other cities to accompany his parents, so naturally there was no fun.

This Qingshui City is also regarded as the second-tier top city in Yumu Province, the commercial atmosphere on the street is very strong, from time to time there are small merchants and hawkers selling along the street, Li Jiahao leads the horse with one hand, and looks at the gadgets sold on the street from time to time. Walking through the main street, there was a lot less noise, and when he saw a rather gorgeous restaurant not far away, Li Jiahao walked towards it.

"Guest officer, please inside, may I ask if you want to stay in the hotel or stay in the hotel?" Xiao Er saw Li Jiahao walking to the door and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

"Let's get a tip first, and then prepare a good room for me to rest in. You have to take care of me, the money is indispensable for you. Li Jiahao will pretend to be a stubborn disciple every time he is outside, but he has a family background, and he is also dressed up vividly, if Nan Wanrou is beside him, he will definitely laugh at him again, why does a serious person like to pretend to be improper.

When the shopkeeper saw Li Jiahao's broad appearance, he knew that he was a big customer, and hurriedly said: "Guest officer, please rest assured, you are satisfied." ”

Li Jiahao didn't look at the shopkeeper, walked straight into the store, found a window seat and sat down: "Boss, you look at the good wine and food, I don't pick much." After speaking, he turned his eyes out the window and looked at the bustling crowd in the distance in a daze.

"Okay, guest officer, wait a minute. The boss at the counter also responded.

At this time, lunch time has passed, there are not many people in the store, there are two women in black sitting at the table in front of Li Jiahao, there are three or four dishes on the table, but they don't move chopsticks much, and the two of them have been whispering something with their heads down.

"What should I do with the eldest sister? The second sister was arrested by the government, I think the dog official of Qingshui City will definitely not let go of the second sister, this morning I also saw the housekeeper of Qianzhou Mu enter the city lord's mansion, I am afraid that the second sister will not survive these few days. One of the two women in black was younger and a little childish, and said with an anxious face.

"Xiao Ai, don't worry, I'll think of a way again, if it really doesn't work, we'll go and rescue Xiao Hitomi tonight." The more mature eldest sister of the two women in black said.

Sitting not far away, Li Jiahao also overheard the conversation between the two women, although the two of them had very small voices, but Li Jiahao was particularly sensitive to the perception of surrounding things since he was a child, especially after awakening the spiritual pupil in the Five Elements Great Array, which made him unconsciously learn to read his lips and words.

Li Jiahao was still bored looking at the scenery outside, and when he heard the conversation of the women at the table in front of him, he was also interested, and thought to himself: "I don't know if the little pupil in their mouths is the woman at the city gate, but such a heinous woman, I really can't let these two people let her go." ”

Li Jiahao also began to secretly pay attention to the two women at the previous table, but Li Jiahao was still too young after all, and he had no experience in eavesdropping, and it didn't take long for the eldest sister among the women to notice Li Jiahao, who was looking at him with a blank look.

"Xiao Ai, if we finish eating, we will go back to the room, this is still outside, I'm afraid that there will be ghosts paying attention. The eldest sister looked at her third sister and said.

"Alas, then let's go back to the room, the second sister was arrested, and I can't eat. The third sister stood up as she spoke, and the two women in black said hello directly to the boss and walked up the stairs directly.

Li Jiahao also knew that he was revealing his stuff at this time, but he thought that the eldest sister was angry, "What do you mean by a ghost, I am such a young and handsome prodigal son, young and golden, and I am so angry that I am a ghost." Watching the two women go upstairs, Li Jiahao was in a hurry, and walked to the shopkeeper without caring that the food was not ready.

"Boss, how many rooms did those two women live in just now?" Li Jiahao didn't look sloppy, and asked directly.

This shopkeeper is also an old Jianghu, naturally he is afraid that Li Jiahao, who has just arrived, will have a grudge against the previous pair of women, and cause unnecessary trouble, so he refused: "Guest officer, our accommodation is to protect the privacy of guests, if you want to see those two girls, why don't I send someone up and ask if I promised to see you." ”

Li Jiahao's eyes were white, the shopkeeper thought of him as someone, the ring flashed in his hand, and a purple gold coin appeared in his hand, and said to the shopkeeper: "I said before that I want to stay, this is my room fee for one day, you can arrange me next door to the two girls." ”

When the shopkeeper saw Li Jiahao casually take out a purple gold coin, his eyes were also bright, but he was also a person who had experienced the wind and waves, so he was still a little hesitant.

Li Jiahao saw that the boss was still calm, and he secretly admired it, the best room in this restaurant is only 30 gold coins, and I have paid more than 3 times the price and am so calm, no wonder this restaurant is the most popular on this street.

Li Jiahao didn't say much to the shopkeeper, the ring in his hand flashed again, and suddenly there were 4 more purple gold coins, "A total of 5 purple gold coins, help me arrange for the pair of girls next door to the room, and relax, I have no grievances with those two girls, it will not affect your business, I just like the two of them." ”

The shopkeeper saw the 5 purple gold coins and listened to Li Jiahao's words, and thought: "I hope it doesn't cause any big things, but this young man took out 5 purple gold coins casually, and he didn't think it would be a little person, but I don't know which young master of the family came out to have fun." ”

The shopkeeper thought about it and said to Li Jiahao: "This son, please follow me upstairs." ”

Li Jiahao nodded with satisfaction and said, "Boss, you're just refreshing." The boss who led the way was also helpless at this time, and said with a smile.

Just now the two women lived on the third floor, which is one of the best two Tianzi upper rooms in this restaurant, and now the boss naturally took Li Jiahao to the other room on the third floor, opened the door and whispered to Li Jiahao: "Childe, those two girls are next door, there are only these two Tianzi upper rooms on this floor, if there is anything else, you can pull the red rope directly from the room, and there will be Xiao Er to greet you." ”

Li Jiahao squinted at the shopkeeper and said: "The boss wants to be thoughtful, no wonder the store business is so good." ”

The shopkeeper didn't answer, and thanked: "Gongzi Xie Jiyan, I'm just a small business." I won't bother my son, I'll ask the shopkeeper to bring the food later. ”

Li Jiahao bowed his head, walked into the room, closed the door, and began to walk around to familiarize himself with the environment. The restaurant is quite clean, because it occupies half a floor, so this room is a suite, and there is a separate guest room.

"This store is quite thoughtful, the inside and outside are separated, and there is a separate living room. This boss is a business wizard. Li Jiahao was also very satisfied with the decoration in this room, and couldn't help but feel a little love.

"The family also runs a restaurant business in Canglan Province, but to be able to think about everything so thoughtfully like this shopkeeper, there are really few people in the family, and it seems that they can recommend it to my father. Li Jiahao sat on the cowhide soft chair in the hall and thought.

Soon after, there was a knock on the door, and the shopkeeper brought the prepared meal, placed it neatly on the table, and left the room directly.

Eating the food delivered, Li Jiahao also began to think of the two black-clothed sisters opposite, "If the words that those two women said about Xiaotong are Sun Xiaotong, I really can't let it go." But now I'm going to figure out how to spy on those two women. Li Jiahao took a sip of the peach blossom brew sent by the store, and his lips and teeth were fragrant.

"It's definitely not okay to break in directly, and it's easy to startle the snake, but it's too tiring for me to stay at the door and watch the door, and if they go to the execution ground, they won't necessarily come out of the door to cover people's eyes and ears, and their mental perception is also easy to expose, which is a bit difficult to do. Li Jiahao thought for a moment, but there was no good way.

"Formation, the avenue is invisible, hidden and unconscious, insight into the world. The phantom array, trapped people, does not hurt their bodies, but is used for gods. Suddenly, a text appeared in Li Jiahao's mind, as if he had broken the dream man in a word, and slapped his thigh: "Yes, why didn't I think of it." I can directly set up a phantom array without any exercises on the third floor of this restaurant, as long as the spiritual power of these two women does not exceed that of me, I will definitely not be able to find it, everything is under my control. ”

Thinking that Li Jiahao didn't eat anymore, he walked directly to the center of the hall, the ring in his hand flashed, and suddenly a bunch of bottles and cans appeared on the ground.

"I set the array directly in my room, and these three floors are already the top floor of the restaurant, which is just convenient for me to act. Li Jiahao said and began to take out some liquid from several bottles and cans and began to mix.

After half an hour, Li Jiahao was sweating profusely and looked at the vat of white-gold, rich spatial power in front of him, with a satisfied expression.

"It's finally done, although it's a primary phantom array liquid without any exercises, the production of this formation blend liquid also makes me work hard, it seems that I really have to find a good teacher to teach after I arrive at the academy, and the use of space power feels like some methods in the book, there are still some gaps. Li Jiahao sighed lightly, after refining his soul by the Cold Cicada Stone Buddha in the Five Elements Great Array, his computing power in the formation can be said to be a thousand miles a day, but it is a pity that there is no good teacher to lead the way, and the knowledge of learning books still cannot reach the point of understanding by himself.

"I don't want to do so much, hurry up, it's not good if someone finds out too late. Li Jiahao's heart tightened, and he also began to draw a mysterious pattern on the ground of the hall in his room, and then he kept circling the ground and began to draw circles, and then opened the window and jumped on the roof lightly, and directly began to let the phantom array wrap the third floor and the entire range of the roof.

When everything was in order, Li Jiahao returned to his room, bit his index finger with his teeth, and drew a mark directly in the eye of the array, Li Jiahao only felt that a miniature version of the phantom array was formed in his mind, and all the movements on the third floor of the entire restaurant were in Li Jiahao's mind.
