According to the previous way of thinking, the three of them first searched for a restaurant and tea house with a large number of customers in the city, intending to find out some available information from it.

"It feels a bit like the Imperial City, but it's different." Wei Yuan looked around and said casually.

"Of course it's different, it's basically all Jianghu people here." Although Lou Qingqing has never been to Fengdu, he used to follow Bai Tang and read a lot of Jianghu notes in the library.

However, because she is not very interested in Feng, she just looks at it at random, and she doesn't know much, but she vaguely remembers that Fengdu is the territory of the ancestral city of the Feng family, which is a country of its own, with rules, and it is mostly a place where people from the rivers and lakes gather.

This is different from the Jinmu City in Tongwei's martial arts gathering place, Jinmu City is just to cater to the martial arts people to create a river and lake atmosphere, but Fengdu is a complete Jianghu attribute from the inside out.

You must know that since Fengdu was originally the Feng family's own territory, it was naturally all Feng family, even if it was a heterosexual group, it was not allowed to settle in, and later after it was opened, outsiders were allowed to enter the business and live, but there were special conditions.

Lou Qingqing didn't know the specific conditions, but she knew that not everyone could stay in Fengdu all the time.

Although Bai Tang has read a lot of Jianghu notes, Fengdu is also one of them, but because Fengdu has its own rules, many people dare not be too presumptuous about the description of Fengdu, and the description is more superficial, plus the world is fickle, so she can't say how deep she understands Fengdu.

The three of them walked for a while, and then they saw a simple tea house next to the street.

There was only an old couple in the tea house who were about a few years old and watching the stall.

The three of them walked over and ordered a pot of tea and two refreshments.

Lou Qingqing was very familiar with each other and quickly talked to the two old men, and after a while, a lot of news came out.

After getting the news they wanted, the three of them left the tea house and went to the Zen garden in the back street.

From the old woman's mouth, the Zen Garden is the most famous tea house wine shop in the outer city of Fengdu, don't look at the name sounds very Buddha, but it has nothing to do with the Buddha, it has its own faction, not only a teahouse but also a tavern, song pipe, etc., it is an entertainment place that integrates eating, drinking and playing.

The outer city mentioned here is also related to some rules of Fengdu.

Although Fengdu is open to the outside world, it is impossible to open it completely, after all, this is still the ancestral land of Fengdu, and the ancestral houses and temples are here, how can outsiders watch and approach at will.

Therefore, Fengdu is divided into an inner city and an outer city, the former is the residence of the Feng family, and the latter can be inhabited by outsiders, the Feng family and other relatives.

Speaking of the end, we must also mention another major event in Fengdu, that is, the evaluation once every ten years, similar to the inner door competition of the Qingfeng faction.

There is a contest every ten years, and only the top 50 can live in the inner city, and those outside the 50 will move to the outer city along with the rest of their families.

However, because living in the inner city is also equivalent to having certain resources, the people in the inner city will only be stronger, and the people in the outer city will only be more and more distanced, so once some side groups are pulled out of the inner city, they may never be able to return to the inner city.

Besides, on Bai Tang's side, the three of them originally planned to go to the Zen Garden to have a look and find out the news, but on the way there, they were stopped by someone.

It wasn't a bully who stopped them, but a middle-aged man in a blue brocade robe with a gentle and friendly smile.

The man smiled and bowed slightly to the three of them, and after a brief explanation, he took out a black and gold post from his sleeve, handed it to both hands, and then stood with a smile and waited for their decision, without urging.

Bai Tang took the post and opened it, and after seeing the unique family crest of the Feng family on it, a hint of different color flashed in his eyes.

She glanced up at the middle-aged man, then lowered her eyes to continue.

What the post said was similar to what the middle-aged man said, that is, to invite them to be guests.

Originally, Bai Tang hadn't figured it out yet, but when she saw the guest who was promoted to 'Imperial Capital from afar' in the post, she roughly understood.

Thinking of the name of her rank when she entered the city before, she once again ignored the spread of her name.

What's more, her name and Wei Yuan's name are added together, as long as you have a simple understanding of her, you can basically confirm their identity, unless someone deliberately fakes them.

She closed the post, looked up at the middle-aged man again, thought for a moment, and then nodded, "It's our honor to wait, and I ask Your Excellency to lead the way." ”

The middle-aged man's smile was still warm, but his eyes were obviously a little uncertain, and he seemed a little surprised that the other party would agree so easily, and he didn't ask more about the situation.

But he's just a leader, and he just needs to get the job done, and there's no need to think about the rest.

Wei Yuan and Lou Qingqing were confused, but looking at Bai Tang's actions, they thought it was someone she knew, so they didn't ask much.

The three were led to an alleyway, where they boarded a carriage also engraved with the Feng family crest.

The carriage slowly headed down another street under the astonished attention of many people, but did not reach any courtyard, but went to a wide lake and stopped at the pier.

Then he was led onto a small building boat.

After the three of them got on the boat, they didn't have any communication, and Wei Yuan wanted to say something several times, but was stopped by Lou Qingqing.

After Xiaolou's boat traveled for about a stick of incense, the three of them saw that there seemed to be a small group of buildings on the shore of the lake not far away, and when they looked closer, they found that it was really built on the lake, not by the lake, but it was also close to the lake.

The three of them got off the boat, boarded the wooden bridge, and after stepping off the bridge, they got into the carriage of the Feng family, and then continued along the long street.

Along the way, looking at some of the Feng family badges hanging outside many houses and pavilions, Bai Tang could basically determine that this should be the location of the branch of the Feng family's outer city.

The buildings on this lake are very large, like a shrunken town, and it is also quite lively, and there are horse-drawn carriages walking back and forth on the road, which makes Wei Yuan very curious.

Whether or not this building was built on a lake, and how was it built, it didn't even sink, it was almost the same as the ground.

But this time, it didn't take long, almost half a pillar of incense, and the carriage stopped at a mansion, and then the three of them were politely invited into the mansion.

The people in the house seemed to have gotten the news a long time ago, so they waited early.

The three of them were led to the Feng Mansion living room, and the person they saw was named Feng Tai, a middle-aged man who was nearly fifty years old, who was said to be the chief steward of the Feng family in the outer city, and also the head of the first side clan of the old faction of the nine clans of the Feng family.

The other party did not beat around the bush, and after reporting his name, he directly confirmed his identity to Bai Tang.

"I don't know Your Excellency, but the Lord of Yutang? The owner of a drug auction house? ”

Since Bai Tang came along, she didn't intend to deny it, after all, she might need to use this identity to do something, so she nodded in the affirmative.

Lou Qingqing and Wei Yuan were shocked, they didn't expect to be recognized before they entered the city, could it be that Sister Sugar Candy contacted the young valley master in advance? But it's impossible, if you contact in advance, what do you say about the other party before you come to invite someone?

Regardless of the confusion and surprise of the two, after Feng Tai got Bai Tang's affirmation, his eyes became brighter, and his slightly closed eyebrows were completely relaxed, with a vague irrepressible excitement in his eyes.

After all, he wasn't sure if the identity he was dealing with was as he guessed, but now that he was affirmed, he was naturally completely relieved, and then he thought of what changes this person might bring to himself or this one, and he couldn't help himself.

Of course, Feng Tai invited Bai Tang over, not to have any bad thoughts, after all, one of the Feng family's family rules is to remain neutral and not easily get involved in various disputes.

Naturally, you can't casually offend people who shouldn't be offended, and cause trouble for your family.

Baitang may be a walking fragrant dumpling now, but this fragrant dumpling is not so easy to handle.

Besides, as long as everyone with brains understands the importance and value of the other party, even if her backer is only the Wei court, her importance to the Wei court shows that as long as she is moved, it is equivalent to provoking the entire Wei court.

No one wants to be idle and have nothing to do to confront the entire imperial court, to the point of not dying, not to mention that Bai Tang's previous auction move has already conveyed a message to the outside world, what she has in her hands is not unobtainable, but just depends on what price to pay, and this price is definitely lighter than that of dying with the imperial court.

Not to mention that there seems to be the shadow of Zongyang Medical Valley behind the other party.

After some politeness, Feng Tai began to get straight to the point, wanting to buy or order some drugs from the other party, maybe other things can be traded, as long as the other party proposes, and he can do it on his side.

This was exactly what Bai Tang wanted, but she didn't directly say that she wanted to see the roster, but said that she could give the Feng family the right of first refusal to buy any kind of boutique auction in the competitive medicine auction house for one year.

And the condition is to help find news of Yan Xingzhi.

Of course, she didn't reveal the news of Yan Xingzhi's disappearance, she just said that she helped her friend send an urgent letter to Yan Xingzhi, but the other party traveled abroad and didn't know the specific whereabouts.

Fengtai couldn't help but be a little disappointed, but he didn't want to continue to negotiate, after all, the bidding rights for a year are also very good, after all, the auction house is basically held once a month, that is, they have twelve bidding priorities, which is equivalent to twelve high-quality lots in the bag, which is a very rare opportunity.

Besides, the other party only needs to help find someone, which is simply a gift deal.

Afraid that being too greedy would leave a bad influence on the other party, Feng Tai didn't mention any other news, and while hurriedly signing a contract with the other party, he began to immediately send someone to check Yan Xingzhi's whereabouts.

But soon he reacted, isn't Yan Xingzhi the chief disciple of Zongyang Medical Valley, it seems that this really has a lot to do with Zongyang Medical Valley.

Then Feng Tai couldn't wait to report the matter to the inner city lord's family, of course, after the contract was signed, otherwise the credit would definitely be cut off.

In order to curry favor with Bai Tang and stabilize the cooperative relationship, Fengtai worked very hard to find people, and the efficiency was much higher than that of Bai Tang and the others, and soon there was news.

Fengtai got the news that Yan Xingzhi had not entered Fengdu, but someone had met him and his group heading towards Beishan.

Beishan is in the south of Fengdu, go straight for thousands of miles, cross the Panyang River, and then travel thousands of miles to arrive.

Bai Tang deliberately determined how many people there were in the so-called group, and Fengtai found the whistleblower and said that there were about ten people, all dressed in black.

Because Yan Xingzhi looked outstanding in white, and the other party had seen Yan Xingzhi at the Martial Arts Alliance, he also remembered him deeply because of his reputation, so he paid special attention to it.

This made Bai Tang even more puzzled, from walking with the female disciples of the Copper Hook Sect to being suspected of walking with other disciples of the Copper Hook Sect, she didn't understand why the senior brother was doing this, and why he went to Beishan.

The realm of Beishan is not in the territory of Wei, it was originally a tribal territory called Beirong, and later this tribe was annihilated in one fell swoop because it offended the Mongolian state, and it became the territory of the Mongolian state.

However, because this place is located in a subtle part of the Wei State, in the later Wei State several conquests with the Mongolian State, one of the conditions for peace was the Beirong territory.

However, the Mongolian State refused to cede the Beirong territory, and the Wei State was not worried that Beirong would become the territory of the Mongolian State, so in the end, each took a step back, and this became a land without national jurisdiction.

Because there was no one to govern it, it slowly became a den of bandits, and later, because there were too many evil things, Wei sent troops to sweep away the bandits in the Beirong territory on the grounds of hurting the people of Wei.

Eventually, the area became a wasteland.

However, although it is a wasteland, it is not uninhabited, but there are not many people, and there are two excluded righteous and evil sects in the rivers and lakes located in the land of Beirong, which is now renamed Beishan.

Thinking of this, Bai Tang's eyebrows furrowed unconsciously.

On the Feng family's side, as soon as they got the news and confirmed that it was true, they immediately invited them into the inner city.

However, the person who came to invite was still on the way, so Bai Tang had already declined and resigned through Fengtai, saying that he must send a letter to Yan Xingzhi as soon as possible, and if he had the opportunity to come to Yunyun again.

Feng Tai saw that they were really eager, and he didn't want to waste his favorability because of this, and he himself had selfish intentions and wanted to become the line between the Feng family and Bai Tang, so he didn't keep them much, and sent someone to escort them out of the city.

As for how angry the people from the inner city were one step late, Feng Tai said, I am also very helpless, after all, you can't forcibly confine people, isn't that offending people.

And because he still has a contract with Bai Tang in his hand now, the Feng family inner city still doesn't understand the situation between him and Bai Tang for the time being, so naturally he won't blame him much.

After leaving Fengcheng, the three of them changed their routes and hurried to Beishan.

It happened that there was also a dock of the Feng family on the other side of the Panyang River, so they shortened their travel time and entered the Beishan realm on the morning of the fourth day.

And this time they did go the right way again.

On the second day after entering the realm of Beishan, they found out about Yan Xingzhi.

In a small village in Yinmapo, someone saw a white-clothed masked boy fighting with a few black-clothed people and a group of people, who seemed to be evading the pursuit and then fled all the way to the depths.

Bai Tang asked about the appearance of the people who pursued them, but the witnesses could not recall the specific details, and could only say that the clothes of those people were different. NPC in Ancient Times: Doctor Sees Love, Depends on You
