Chapter 14: Ylang City
Dream Without a Trace ended his cultivation and went to Zhao Tiandu's study.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
Meng Wuxian came to the door of the study and knocked on the door: "Grandpa, are you there?"
"It's a trace, come in. Zhao Tiandu's voice came from inside.
Dream pushed the door in without a trace, only to see Zhao Tiandu holding a book and looking at it quietly. Watch as the dream comes in without a trace. He smiled and asked, "Trace, what's the matter with Grandpa's place today?" Hmm? Trace, your breath, and why can't I feel your specific cultivation?" Zhao Tiandu only felt that Dream Without Trace's breath had an indescribable taste, and now he couldn't see the specific cultivation of Dream Without Trace.
"Maybe it's a little chaotic because I just broke through and my breath hasn't been completely stabilized," Yu Wuxian replied.
As he spoke, he released his ninefold qi cultivation aura, and he felt that he had not changed much except that his vitality had turned blood red. As for what Zhao Tiandu said, he couldn't feel his specific cultivation, and he could only blame it on that evil sword. The evil sword hid in the Dream Traceless Dantian, and together with the Dream Traceless cultivation, it also hidden.
"Trace, have you broken through to the ninth level of qi training? Okay, good, Zhen'er really deserves to be a martial arts genius, and he entered the ninefold of qi training at the age of fifteen. Our deserted city has not appeared in thousands of years, God bless my deserted city. Zhao Tiandu laughed, and his mind was all on the matter of Meng Wuxian breaking through to the ninefold qi training. As for the breath of Dream Without a Trace, he didn't think much about it.
"By the way, tomorrow you will be responsible for escorting a batch of restocked black stones to Yilan City" Immediately, Zhao Tiandu explained his plan and Dream Without a Trace.
After hearing this, Dream Wuxian nodded, "I understand, grandpa. ”
.....
"Drive!"
I saw a team of men and horses driving on the trade road, and the back was full of piles of goods. The group is estimated to be about thirty people. These horses all have a single horn on their heads, and they look imposing. This is a wildebeest, a wildebeest is a kind of mysterious beast, due to its size like a horse, a single horn on its head, fast running, and a relatively docile personality. Therefore, it has been tamed as a means of transportation. Since only when cultivating to reach the Yuanfu realm can it fly in the sky, this wildebeest has become the first choice for all cultivators to go out and travel long distances.
In front of the caravan was a young man in a robe, with a fluffy white fur ball lying on his head, and next to a horse sat a young girl in a green Luo skirt, and from behind you could see the girl's slender figure, swaying in the wind.
This young man is Dream Without a Trace, and the girl is naturally Zhao Ruyue. Of course, that hairball is Jiu'er, and he is sleeping at this time.
"Brother Traceless, are we really going to Yilan City?" Zhao Ruyue asked.
"Really, really, when did Brother Without a Trace lie to you?" replied with some helplessness. Zhao Ruyue heard that this was going to Yilan City, and she had asked no less than ten times along the way. It's all because there is a Snow Moon Tower in Yilan City, and the Snow Moon Tower is a restaurant, and there is a 'Ten Complete Banquet' in it, which is famous all over the world.
As the name suggests, the Ten Perfection Banquet has ten dishes, and it also has the meaning of perfection. These ten dishes are all made of precious elixirs and rare beasts with secret methods, and the taste is simply indescribable, and those who eat it once will never forget the delicious taste in their lives. And because the elixirs are all used, this feast also has the effect of enhancing cultivation. So much so that the Ten Perfection Banquet has been sought after by countless people.
But that price, tsk, one thousand spirit coins, this is a spirit coin, not gold, you must know that one spirit coin is worth a hundred taels of gold, and a hundred taels of gold is enough for ordinary families to be luxurious for several years. Coupled with the fact that the owner of Xueyue Mansion has a limit of ten places per day, you can imagine how popular the Ten Banquets are, even if you have money, you may not be able to eat it. Meng Wuxian has to admire the business acumen of the owner of the Xueyue Building, and rare things are expensive.
Zhao Ruyue, a snack, cares so much about what else can he have besides eating? However, this time, Dream Without a Trace didn't go to Yilan City for delicious food. This time, he was assigned by his grandfather to send Blackstone to Yilan City. Due to the last encounter, the deserted city breached the contract, and the black stone was also missing, and the loss was heavy.
One of the purposes of Zhao Tiandu to let Meng Wuxian personally transport it again was to lure out the murderer behind the scenes, since he was not dead, he would never give up so well if he wanted to come behind the scenes. This time, Zhao Tiandu has already prepared a perfect strategy, he is not afraid of the mastermind behind the scenes, but he is afraid that the mastermind behind the scenes will not be alert.
"Young City Lord, there are less than ten miles to go, let's get to Yilan City, it seems that the murderer behind the scenes should have been alert. At this time, an old man with a gray beard rode a wildebeest to Dream Without a Trace and spoke.
"Grandpa Li, you have tormented me, just call me a trace. This time, I have to bother you all the time, and I really can't help it. Dream Without a Trace hurriedly saluted.
This person's name is Zhao Li, he is the housekeeper of the City Lord's Mansion, and he and Zhao Tian can be said to be brothers in life and death. According to the generation, Dream Without a Trace should be called Zhao Li's grandfather, and Zhao Li should be called a dream without a trace, which should be a matter of course. But this Zhao Li is more stubborn, and he always calls him the young city lord in front of outsiders, and he has been persuaded many times without a trace to no effect, and he is very helpless.
But if there are no outsiders, he will still scream with traces, and his face will be full of kindness. Zhao Li is very serious in his work, he is upright, and there is no room for sand in his eyes. In the deserted city, he is a law enforcer, and he kills decisively, and the wicked who die at his hands are unknown.
But no one would have thought that the kind old man in front of him would be a master at the peak of the late stage of the Qi Sea Realm, and Zhao Tiandu asked Zhao Li to come this time to ensure that this action was foolproof.
"Grandpa Li, we didn't expect them to come this time. If the murderer behind the scenes was so easy to be fooled, the secret agent would not have tracked it down for more than half a month and still found nothing. Dream Traceless whispered as he rode a wildebeest.
"Well, the murderer is more cunning than we can imagine. Hmph, but if you dare to do something about it, it's not so easy to uncover it. Zhao Li snorted coldly, and as he spoke, the killing intent in his eyes flashed, and the surrounding temperature seemed to have dropped a lot. At this time, Zhao Li is no longer a housekeeper, and he is no longer called the young city lord of Meng Wuxi, he just regards Meng Wuxian as his grandson.
Dream Without a Trace sees all this in his eyes and remembers it in his heart. Thinking that you must cultivate hard, and work hard to return the love for yourself and care for your relatives. It's not a close relative, but it's just like that.
Proceeded slowly all the way, without waiting for the big fish to take the bait. Dream Wuxian and his party came to Yilan City unconsciously, looking at the magnificent gate of Yilan City, as well as the endless stream of pedestrians. Dream Without a Trace had to sigh that Yilan City was worthy of being the capital of forging, and it was much more prosperous than a deserted city. But even then, Zhao Tiandu relied on his own strength to make the deserted city one of the five major cities, and I have to say that he has done something that many people dare not think of.
Soon, a middle-aged man in a gray robe came to Zhao Li and hugged his fists and said: "Today it turned out to be Steward Zhao who came in person, and there was a loss of welcome, a loss of welcome!"
"Where, where, it is my Zhao someone's honor to be able to let the Deputy City Lord Kong of Yilan City greet him personally. Zhao Li hurriedly replied.
This middle-aged man is none other than Kong Zhengye, the deputy city lord of Yilan City, who can be said to be a powerful person under one person and above ten thousand people. A body of cultivation is at the peak in the late stage of the Qi Sea. Immediately, Zhao Li said to Meng Wuxi: "Young City Lord, I still have important matters to discuss with Deputy City Lord Kong, you and Yue'er will walk around the city first, and then come to you after I finish dealing with things." ”
"Okay, Grandpa Li. Meng Wuxian nodded at Zhao Li, and walked towards the city with Zhao Ruyue.
"Oh, this is the young lord of the deserted city. It's really better to be famous than to meet, it's really young and promising, the breath is so strong at a young age, and the future is limitless" Kong Zhengye sighed, and then a strange color flashed in his eyes, but it disappeared in a flash.
At first, he didn't notice that Meng Wuxian was standing in the pile of people on the side, but when he heard Zhao Li say this, he carefully observed and found that Meng Wuxian had a strong aura. However, what made Kong Zhengye strange was that he couldn't perceive the specific cultivation of Dream Without a Trace. This made Kong Zhengye secretly surprised, and he couldn't figure out what the reason was, you must know that he was a peak cultivator in the late stage of the Qi Sea Realm, several levels higher than Meng Wuji.
"No wonder he was able to escape from the hands of the black robe," Kong Zhengye thought a little inexplicably. Thinking about it, I was in a trance, and I didn't know what I was thinking.
"Deputy City Lord Kong said with a smile, there is still a long way to go for the main city of Shaocheng" Zhao Li said modestly, but he still had a smile on his face, quite proud.
"Deputy City Lord Kong?" Zhao Li found that Kong Zhengye, who was in a trance, opened his mouth and shouted.
"Ahhh Kong Zhengye, who came back to his senses, hurriedly compensated no. Then he said: "Steward Zhao, please." ”
"Please!" Zhao Li also made a gesture.
The two of them walked towards the city.
