After more than a month, Xiao He and his entourage finally arrived at Jinling City, the capital of Yangzhou.

Jinling is located in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, bordering Huanghuai in the north, Jianghan in the west, Zhejiang in the south, and the East China Sea in the east. Since ancient times, it has become an important town in the north and south and an important town in Yangzhou by virtue of the benefits of the boat and the car.

Xiao He and Luo Fanchen came to Jinling for the first time, and of course they were attracted by its prosperity and vitality. The hills inside and outside the city are undulating, the boats shuttle on the river, and the ten-mile long street is endless, and the traffic is busy.

"This Jinling City is really prosperous, I almost feel that my feet are paved with gold. Xiao He couldn't help but sigh.

"I don't know how many times richer this place is than Shushan Road in Liangzhou, God is really unfair. Luo Fanchen also sighed.

"That's right, I can smell the smell of money when I smell it..." Xu Dabeard's eyes widened and he glanced around, obviously looking for a gambling house here.

"Although this Jinling is prosperous, but there is less enterprising spirit, I think our Shushan is more simple and pioneering than here. Murong Yan couldn't help but say.

After listening to what Murong Yan said, several people also nodded secretly, where there is light, there will be shadows, and there is also extravagance and obscenity hidden under this prosperity.

Murong Yan buckled the door of Guo's mansion, and an old man walked out, and when he saw that it was Murong Yan, he quickly welcomed them in.

Murong Yan saw that the family members in the mansion were packing up their things, as if they were going to move, so she asked the old man:

"Old Liu, is the master in the house?"

"Madam, the master has been promoted to the secretary of the ministry, didn't he tell you?" Liu Lao asked, seeing that Murong Yan didn't know, so he continued, "We also just received a letter from the master, so let's pack the necessary things in the mansion in advance and wait for you to come back and go to the imperial capital together." ”

"I see, I see. Liu Lao, you go and arrange a few rooms for these Shushan friends to rest and recuperate. Murong Yan said.

"Yes, ma'am, I'll go. After Lao Liu finished speaking, he retreated, leaving Xiao He and Murong Yan in the main hall.

"Really, I'm going to move to the imperial capital just after returning to Jinling, it's really not easy to be the wife of an official eunuch, where can you cultivators be so happy and happy?" Murong Yan couldn't help but sigh.

"Although our cultivators seem to be unrestrained on the surface and have abilities that mortals can't match, they often have to deal with that demon and monster, and nearly a thousand disciples have died in Shushan alone in the past ten years, and all of them are young disciples, even Zhao Lingfeng..."

Murong Yan saw that Xiao He and Luo Fanchen were silent, so she said:

"When you first arrive in Jinling, I'll do the east, let's go to the best restaurant 'Buxian Xian' to have a meal, how about it?"

Xiao He immediately came to his senses, and he replied:

"What a 'non-envious immortal', you will know that it is different when you hear this name, Fanchen, Xu Dabeard, let's go together?"

Luo Fanchen nodded, but Xu Dabeard was hesitant, and he said for a long time:

"It's been a long time since I've had a hand addiction, why don't you go first?"

Xiao He and Luo Fanchen looked at each other and shook their heads, this bearded Xu must be going to the gambling house to gamble again.

Murong Yan was not reluctant, and said to Xu Dabeard:

"Xu Dabeard, you go, if the silver is not enough, just take it from the Guo Mansion. ”

"Okay, thank you Miss Murong..."Xu Dabeard went out happily and went straight to the gambling house.

Murong Yan took Xiao He and Luo Fanchen into the "Unenvious Immortal", this restaurant is indeed magnificent, there are five floors up and down, and there is a circular stage in the center, at this time, several actors are performing martial arts in the stage, and those javelins are rolling in the air, which is dazzling.

Xiao He couldn't help but shout hello with the audience, he often watched plays with his master when he was a child, and he also knew a little about the doorway.

Murong Yan called Xiao Er over, instructed him to arrange a private room, and threw him a few pieces of broken silver, and Xiao Er quickly nodded and led a few people to the second floor.

"This is our best private room, look at this luxurious arrangement, this view near the river, tsk, you will never find a second room in Jinling City..."

"Little Er, you hurry up and bring your best dish up, plus a pot of good wine. Murong Yan said.

"Well, everyone, please sit down, and the good wine and food will be served later..."Xiao Er said and withdrew.

After a while, the table was full of delicacies, with bright colors and fragrant aromas, which made Xiao He and the others have a great appetite.

Xiao He picked up chopsticks and kept putting the dishes in his mouth, and kept saying "delicious, delicious".

Luo Fanchen and Murong Yan were much more elegant, they were both sent into their mouths in small sips, and the two of them looked at Xiao He, who was gobbling up, and shook their heads secretly.

Xiao He was eating heartily, and suddenly sniffed a few times and asked Murong Yan:

"Does this restaurant still have cats?"

Luo Fanchen was also stunned, and then got up and shouted:

"There's a demonic spirit, a wicked animal, why don't you show up soon?"

A black cat slowly crawled out from under the table lazily, it glanced at Luo Fanchen, who was staring at him with wide eyes, stretched his waist, and bounced away.

"Hehe... Isn't it just a cat, you guys are really making a fuss..."Murong Yan covered her mouth and smiled.

"No, I did feel demonic just now..."Luo Fanchen insisted.

"Fanchen, you may be too tired, after eating this meal, let's go back and have a good rest. What's so demonic here?" Xiao He stuffed food into his mouth indiscriminately, looking disapproving.

"Okay..."Luo Fanchen slowly sat back in his seat, the demonic aura just now disappeared in a blink of an eye, could it really be his own delusion?

Xiao He didn't stop his chopsticks, but his eyes glanced at the roof, and he clearly saw a trace of black marks slowly crawling out along the gap like quicksand.

"Hmph, I don't know through you first, see what tricks you play!" Xiao He thought.

Several people were full of food and drink, and left the "unenvious immortals" with a smile.

When they were far away, a long black shadow slowly piled up in a dark corner, gradually forming the appearance of a cat.

This cat was obviously different from the one in the restaurant, its body was slender, its hair was shiny, and its eyes were glowing green.

It slowly licked its right paw, looked in the direction where Xiao He and the others had left, and then turned into a wisp of shadow and crawled away along the wall.

The sky is gradually darkening, a bright moon quietly hangs on the branches, and the night in Jinling is also drunk.

There are people coming and going in various gambling houses and restaurants, as well as places to eat flowers and wine, many women in green houses with thick paint and smear are soliciting customers outside the door, and the desire for "money and sex" flows in it, and the dark night gives people an excellent cover.

There is also a kind of business that is best done at night, and that is assassination, when the night is dark and windy, but it is the perfect time.
