Chapter VII Jinguan City
After Jiang Chenxi and Qi Lao separated at the entrance of the cave, they followed the direction pointed by Qi Lao and went in the direction of the town.
Not long after she left, Jiang Yi suddenly opened her eyes.
The higher the cultivation, the shorter the time for the drug to be metabolized in the body.
With Jiang Yi's cultivation, in fact, the medicinal effect has long passed.
It's just that Jiang Chenxi's methods are too weird, and he wants to follow her secretly and find out where she comes from.
So he pretended to be unconscious until Jiang Chenxi left.
With Jiang Chenxi's cultivation, he naturally couldn't detect his changes.
After Qi Yuesheng left, Jiang Yi handed out a message with the Shadow Moon Dove unique to the Yiyue Sect, and asked the shadow guards who had been waiting outside the exit to track Qi Yuesheng's traces.
Jiang Chenxi walked all the way, and when he looked up, he saw a towering city.
According to the information that Qi Lao told her, this city should be the main city of the Lechuan Kingdom, Jinguan City.
The residents of Jinguan City are good at raising mulberry insects, and mulberry insects can spin silk, which is for mulberry silk.
Mulberry silk production is limited and expensive.
There are only two embroidery girls in Jinguan City who can weave mulberry silk into Liuyun brocade with the weaving method of "through warp and weft".
The color of Liuyun brocade is magnificent, and it is like a carved statue in the sky, and it can also resist the deadly attack of a martial art, so it is deeply loved by the major forces and princes and nobles.
In order to manage the weaving and circulation of Liuyun brocade, the Sichuan Emperor of the Lechuan Kingdom set up the official position of "Jinguan", so the main city was also renamed "Jinguan City".
Jinguan Su Jinyan, because he manages the circulation of Liuyun Jin, is the existence that all the big forces in Jinguan City must befriend.
Su Jinyan was sitting in the private room on the top floor of Wangchuan Tower at the moment, picked up his wine glass, and toasted to a man wearing a mask: "Mr. Gongye, the selection of the day after tomorrow, Emperor Sichuan specially issued an order to invite you to attend together. You should definitely participate. ”
The masked man has a pair of eyes as clear as water, like melting ice in a snow-capped mountain, and blue waves in a cold pool, but he can't hide the vicissitudes of life under his eyes, as if he has already seen through all the glitz and glitz in the world, and there are no waves in the ancient well, and he is noncommittal to Su Jinyan's words.
Ran Qingchuan, the city lord of Jinguan City, who was sitting on the other side of the masked man, also picked up his wine glass and echoed: "Yes, please also ask Mr. to come, otherwise I won't be able to wait to explain to Emperor Chuan." ”
After speaking, he glanced at Su Jinyan.
Su Jinyan immediately ordered, "Bring it up." ”
I saw that the subordinate brought a red lacquered long tray, on which was placed a whole horse of colorful brocade, which was the Liuyun brocade, a specialty of Jinguancheng.
Such a whole horse of Liuyun Brocade, even the largest force in Jinguan City, Yiyue Sect, could not easily get it, and Su Jinyan made a move, which shows the high status of this Mr. Gongye in the Lechuan Country.
Su Jinyan said a little flatteringly: "Mr. Gongye, a little courtesy is not a respect, please be sure to smile." ”
The masked man glanced at the Liuyunjin in front of him indifferently, was unmoved, and said lightly: "Since it was invited by Emperor Chuan, let's go for a trip." ”
His voice is clear, it is extremely good, and there is a clear sense of youth.
Su Jinyan and Ran Qingchuan both breathed a long sigh in their hearts, and finally agreed.
They also had to give their hands to Emperor Chuan.
…………
It is said that after Jiang Chenxi entered the city, he looked around at the city with curious eyes.
This is the first time she has come to the city of Pangu Star after crossing over, and it is very similar to what she saw in the costume drama of Earth Star.
The cries of hawkers on the street were endless, and along the way, she walked to a vendor selling dandan noodles, smelled the aroma of spicy seeds and peppercorns, and suddenly felt a little hungry.
I wanted to go forward to buy a bowl of dandan noodles, but I found that when I crossed, I was wearing a boxing suit and I didn't have money with me, so I couldn't buy it.
Moreover, this Pangu Star is not a Earth Star, and the currency of the Earth Star may not be used here.
Just when she was looking sad, she suddenly remembered the carnelian given by Qi Lao.
If you mortgage this thing, you should be able to get some money back, right?
When she is full of food and drink, and finds some way to make money, it will be better to redeem it again.
Thinking so, she inquired about the location of the pawnshop from the vendor, and went straight to the door of the Forgotten Pavilion.
Forgetting to return to the Pavilion is the property of the lady of the sect master of the Yiyue Sect, not only a pawnshop, but also a treasure exchange.
There are many treasures collected from all over the Pangea continent in the store, which dazzle the people who enter the store and forget to return, so it is named "Forget to Return Pavilion".
As soon as Jiang Chenxi entered the store, a burly middle-aged man walked out.
He has a righteous face, and there is a momentum of not being angry and arrogant, it is the shopkeeper of the Forgetting Pavilion and the elder brother of the sect master's wife, Yang Fan.
When Yang Fan saw Jiang Chenxi coming, he looked up and down, and there was a look of surprise in his eyes.
Who is this girl?
She was wearing the robe of the Yiyue Sect, and looking at the pattern of the cuffs, it should be a silver moon pattern only found by the elders and above in the sect.
When did the Yiyue Sect have such a young upper-class figure?
Could it be the sect master's personal disciple?
It's just that why haven't I heard my sister mention that there is such a person in the sect before?
With a series of questions, he didn't snub Jiang Chenxi, and introduced himself with a smile: "Is it Yang Fan, the shopkeeper of the Forgetting Pavilion below, is the girl looking for treasure or pawning?" ”
Jiang Chenxi walked such a long way to the Forget to Return Pavilion, she was already a little dizzy with hunger, she walked straight to a carved rosewood seat, sat down as if no one was around, and said: "Shopkeeper Yang, I have a piece of carnelian here, I want to mortgage it here for some money, and redeem it in a month." ”
"This girl... Something is unusual. ”
Yang Fan is a cultivator in the second realm of Si Tian, even if there is no breath released, but Jiang Chenxi, who is a big realm below him, should have some awe in front of him.
But this girl was good, she didn't take him seriously at all, and when she came here, she treated herself as a master, and sat on the rosewood chair that only distinguished guests could sit on.
Who the hell is she? With such confidence at a young age, could it be that he is really the sect master's personal disciple?
How did he know that Jiang Chenxi was so hungry that his eyes were dizzy, and he didn't understand the rules of Pangu Xing, so he just wanted to mortgage his things and leave quickly, where could he take care of the rules of those Laoshizi.
Jiang Chenxi took out the carnelian and handed it to Yang Fan.
Yang Fan took it and looked at it carefully, his expression was solemn, and he said a little solemnly: "Can the girl tell me how this piece of carnelian came from?" ”
Jiang Chenxi thought about it, Qi Lao gave her carnelian, he should have regarded her as a friend, so he said: "It's a gift from a friend." ”
After Yang Fan heard this, a trace of turmoil arose in his heart, why would the owner of carnelian give her such a valuable thing?
Don't...... A guess arose in his mind.
Although it was incredible, he couldn't think of other possibilities for a while.
He paused and said, "Girl, this carnelian is of the highest quality, and it can be exchanged for 30,000 silver coins after being mortgaged." ”
Jiang Chenxi didn't know what level the 30,000 silver coins were in Pangu Xing, so he immediately asked: "Shopkeeper Yang, can you know how many silver coins will cost for a meal in the best restaurant around here?" ”
Yang Fan listened to her words and said: "The best Wangchuan Tower here, if you eat alone, a meal will cost at least 400 silver coins." ”
Jiang Chenxi was secretly happy in his heart, but his face was not shocked.
She didn't expect this carnelian to be so valuable, it seems that Jiang Lao should not just treat her as an ordinary friend, there must be other reasons for giving her such a valuable thing.
She had mortgaged this carnelian enough for her to eat for a while, so she said, "Then mortgage it here." ”
"Okay, please wait."
Yang Fan put away the carnelian, went to the backstage to put it away, and then walked out and handed Jiang Chenxi a golden gilt card and said, "Girl, this is the gold card of the Forgotten Pavilion, and the 30,000 silver coins are already stored in it." The gold card of our pavilion can be used at all shops in Lethe Province. ”
"Okay, thank you."
After speaking, Jiang Chenxi took the card and left without looking back.
Yang Fan looked at the back of her leaving, and said to the secret guard hidden in the shadows: "Inform Madame, come and forget to return to the pavilion quickly." ”
............
It is said that after Jiang Yi followed Jiang Chenxi to Jinguan City, a trace of darkness flashed in his eyes.
Jinguan City is his territory in Yiyue Sect, are you afraid that you won't be able to track her whereabouts?
So he let out a clear whistle, and suddenly several shadow guards appeared around him.
"Keep an eye on this woman, and report to me every move he makes."
"Yes."
After receiving the order, the shadow guard receded like a tide and disappeared without a trace.
When Jiang Yi returned to the city, he passed by a peasant family and used the only piece of jade pendant left around his neck to exchange for some ordinary clothes before he could return to Jinguan City with dignity.
He was annoyed in his heart, but he remembered the temperature of his fingertips when Jiang Chenxi took away his outer robe, and after returning to the sect, he didn't say a word, locked himself in the study, and didn't allow anyone to enter.
"This abominable girl," he cursed inwardly, "how dare you steal my robe!" ”
In order to calm his mind, he picked up the brush and painted on the paper, but unconsciously sketched Jiang Chenxi's figure.
He was shocked, and threw away the brush and crumpled the painting into a ball, but he was a little reluctant, and spread the painting out again, and said angrily: "Hmph, dead girl! See how you escaped from the palm of my hand! ”
"Father, can my daughter come in?"
Jiang Ruolin's voice pulled Jiang Yi back to reality.
Jiang Ruolin is the eldest daughter of Jiang Yi and his wife, and Jiang Yi loves her very much.
She has developed an arrogant and domineering personality since she was a child, relying on the support of Yiyuezong and her father, and has never taken others in the eyes of Jinguancheng.
"Come in."
Jiang Yi put away his emotions and said lightly.
"What's wrong with the father, the daughter heard that the father locked herself in the room as soon as she came back, did something happen?"
Although Jiang Ruolin is arrogant and domineering outside, she still looks coquettish in front of Jiang Yi, and it is because of this that Jiang Yi loves her very much and protects her in everything.
"It's nothing, I went to Youlan Valley and encountered some things."
Jiang Yi seemed to remember something, and frowned again.
"Don't tell your mother that I've been to Youlan Valley, lest she worry."
Jiang Ruolin blinked her eyes and said, "Don't worry, father, daughter is measured." “
Then, he said, "Father, the day after tomorrow will be the day of selection." My daughter heard that Mr. Gongye, who is very valued by Emperor Chuan, will also come to the selection site this year. “
"Oh?"
Jiang Yi responded, but in his heart he was thinking about how to befriend Mr. Gongye.
With Mr. Gongye's status in the Lechuan Kingdom, just a few kind words in front of the Sichuan Emperor can make Jiang Ruolin be selected by the Sichuan Emperor and enter the Lechuan Academy to practice.
The Lethe Palace is the first school palace in the country of Lethe, and all the descendants of the big forces want to enter the palace to practice.
Jiang Ruolin saw that her father was deep in thought, and did not answer her words, thinking that her father did not attach importance to this matter, and continued: "I heard that Su Jinyan and Ran Qingchuan are having a banquet for Mr. Gongye in Wangchuan Tower. ”
Although Su Jinyan and Ran Qingchuan have official positions, their cultivation is not as high as Jiang Yigao.
Pangea Continent is respected by martial arts. The level of cultivation determines a person's status in the rivers and lakes.
Therefore, Jiang Ruolin called these two people by their names in front of her father, and there was no respect at all.
"Wangchuan Tower?" Jiang Yi finally stopped pondering and looked at Jiang Ruolin.
"Yes, do you want my father to go to Wangchuan Tower too? I heard that this Mr. Gongye is often a dragon who sees the head but does not see the end, even if it is Emperor Chuan, it is extremely difficult to think of him. ”
Jiang Ruolin saw that her father's expression finally changed, and continued.
"My daughter has already booked a private room in Wangchuan Tower, does my father want to go to dinner together?"
"Let's take a trip, then." Jiang Yi nodded and smiled, stretched out his index finger and pointed at her, "You." ”
He has always doted on this daughter, just because she knows how to judge the situation.
Although his cultivation talent is average, he is extremely smart, so he has also smashed a lot of cultivation resources on her.
In this selection, Nu Zhuali should still have hope of sending her to the Lechuan Academy to cultivate.
Because Jiang Yi was going to prepare a gift for Mr. Gongye, he set off for Wangchuan Tower one step later than Jiang Ruolin.
After Jiang Chenxi left from the Forgotten Return Pavilion, he went straight to Wangchuan Tower.
As soon as I entered the restaurant, I just wanted to find a seat to sit down, but I met Jiang Ruolin who was coming towards me.
A proud girl like Jiang Ruolin, when she goes to Wangchuan Tower to consume, she goes straight to the private room on the third floor.
The distinguished guests who can book a private room on the third floor in Wangchuan Tower are all people with heads and faces in Jinguancheng.
With Jiang Ruolin's qualifications, it is obviously not qualified, but she has a good father, and the name of the sect master of the Yiyue Sect is still very useful in Jinguan City.
For Jiang Ruolin, she has always been dismissive of the guests who eat on the first floor of Wangchuan Tower.
But when she entered the door, she caught a glimpse of a long gown out of the corner of her eye.
"Huh!"
She was shocked.
"How could her father's robe be on her?"
She walked up to Jiang Chenxi and scolded loudly.
"Bold thief! Where did you steal the clothes and dare to come to Wangchuan Tower to consume? ”
