"According to the news from the inquiry, President Jiang gave up the gold mine and hurriedly returned to Xifeng City, and the inside story is probably not just as simple as defeat. Xuanyi filled a glass of wine again and drank it all in one gulp.

Xia Qingyu looked at Xuanyi, her eyes were full of indescribable meaning, "I plan to go back to Beihe first, will you come with me?"

Xuan Yi shook his head, when he scanned the information of the two of them, he found that his position was no longer there, but Xia Qingyu's position as a protector was still there, which showed that Jiang Shuhua might have given up on him, and Kong Chengwang might still think that Xia Qingyu was still alive.

"I am seriously injured now, and my full recovery is far away, so it is not appropriate to return to the gang for the time being. Xuanyi thought about it and refused, and his tone was quite helpless.

Xia Qingyu was a little angry: "Where else can you go like this now?"

"Find a quiet place to recuperate. ”

"Then you have to go back to Beihe with me, at least I can take care of you!" her tone was a little undeniable.

Xuanyi smiled and nodded: "Do you want to raise me?" Okay, I promised you. ”

"Hmph!" Xia Qingyu raised her eyebrows, "You just listen to me obediently!"

So the two opened two upper rooms in the inn and rested for the night, then rented a carriage and set off for Beihe.

Baekhe City is hundreds of miles away from Silla Town, and the two of them bumped for three days and two nights before they arrived, and Xuanyi felt that the bones in his body were about to fall apart, and finally arrived at his destination.

Compared with the previous three cities of Zhenyuan, Xifeng, and Lu'an, Beihe City has a larger area and more residents in the city, and its economic strength is second to none among the five cities in Jinhai Province. Industry and commerce and agriculture are highly developed, so there are many sects and gangs here to establish a mountain gate, although the competition is fierce, but as long as you are willing to work hard, people with some ability can get a good job here.

The carriage stopped in front of the Beihe branch of Juxian Pavilion, and Xuanyi could see through the car window that the station was heavily guarded, in addition to the two teams of guards standing at the door, there was also a team of archers on the second floor who were carefully guarded with bows and arrows.

As soon as the carriage stopped, it immediately attracted several wary glances, and the two guards walked briskly over without waiting for them to ask questions. Xia Qingyu jumped out of the car and said in a deep voice, "It's me." ”

As soon as the two guards saw Xia Qingyu, they immediately bowed and saluted: "See Lord Dharma Protector!"

Xia Qingyu nodded with a smile, turned around and glanced at the carriage, and then walked quickly into the station, and the carriage then drove away quickly.

Previously on the carriage, Xuanyi finally rejected Xia Qingyu's proposal to invite him to join the Beihe Branch, although the hall master Kong Chengwang looked bold and atmospheric, but Xuanyi still had a lot of concerns, he decided to find a remote town under Beihe to recuperate first, and then try to repair the function of the Huaimu brand by the way.

The carriage turned out of the city gate and drove towards the set goal, Xuanyi adopted Xia Qingyu's suggestion this time and chose a small town less than fifty miles away from the main city of Beihe, Yunlan Town.

Yunlan Town is surrounded by mountains and difficult roads, so it is relatively poor in comparison, and the townspeople generally rely on cattle and sheep and planting fruit trees for a living. A certain branch of the turbulent Teng River divides the town into two here, the vegetation in the town is luxuriant, the tall trees form a unique tree-lined path, every year many rich merchants from other towns come here for summer recreation, it is a rare treasure, along the way, Xuanyi will see many luxuriously decorated carriages are also running to the same destination as it.

Xuanyi has hundreds of taels of belongings, and it is more than enough to enjoy a more superior life in Yunlan Town, but after walking around, I found that the better houses in the town are rented or bought by all kinds of rich businessmen and tyrants, and the main road in the town is full of all kinds of "luxury cars", as well as the maids of various families who are fat and thin, and they are very noisy.

Xuanyi smacked his lips, and after paying for the car, he walked around the town to find a place to live, he was dressed in an ordinary Qingyun robe, and his long hair was draped casually over his shoulders, in vain before Xia Qingyu spent a long time to help him comb the crown of his head, the sword made of stainless steel has been lost after several battles, but fortunately, he took a blank folding fan to attach to the elegance. Xuanyi walked very slowly, opening the folding fan in his hand from time to time and shaking it gently, giving people the first feeling of being an elegant scholar who was frail and sickly.

Unconsciously, after walking for a long time, the bluestone paved road has also become a dirt road, Xuanyi looked at the direction where the dirt road extended, and there seemed to be a small village in the distance, dotted with low houses, he walked forward.

There are many houses in this village, but they are not densely distributed, and there are not many villagers who come and go, only a few old men sit under the trees to enjoy the shade. The scorching sunlight was blocked by the dense foliage, and specks of different shapes were refracted through the cracks.

Xuanyi politely consulted the old man and expressed his willingness to buy a house and settle here. The old man looked at Xuanyi for a while before pointing to a few positions, and Xuanyi thanked him and walked towards those targets.

The first one, the house covers a huge area, with a courtyard of 400 square meters, but the landlord's asking price is too high, and several bargaining prices still exceed the psychological price of Xuanyi. The second is that the environment is not ideal, close to a large family raising cattle, sheep and livestock, and occasionally there is a pungent smell. Xuanyi looked at two more houses, but they did not meet their expectations for various reasons, until they reached the last one near the end of the village.

The landlord was a thin short man, with deep eye sockets as if he had not been rested for a long time.

"This lord, I don't make a random offer, I sincerely want to sell this house, and the price is two hundred taels!" The owner gritted his teeth, and lowered the price directly by one hundred taels in his heart, this is the fifth person who has come to inquire about buying a house during this time, and he wants to facilitate this transaction.

The two-storey house is backed by a bamboo forest, flanked by a ditch dug out by hand for irrigation, and the vestibule is a 200-square-metre fenced compound.

Seeing that the landlord was still talking about the benefits of this house, Xuanyi immediately decided to buy it, waved his hand, and took out two hundred taels of silver tickets to exchange for the deed of the house here.

Xuanyi was a little complacent, no matter in which village in his previous life, it was impossible to buy such a "luxurious" two-story villa for 40,000 yuan. The landlord seemed to be in a hurry than Xuanyi, he quickly entered the house, packed up a lot of soft things and put them on the ox cart, and the rest of the pots and pans were generously given to Xuanyi.

Xuanyi was full of smiles, and thanked the landlord to leave, looking at Xuanyi's "sincere" smiling face, the landlord wanted to speak and stopped, and finally couldn't bear to say when he left: "Boss, this house is a little weird, you still... ”

"What?" Xuanyi's heart suddenly 10,000 alpacas rushed by, "What's weird?

The ox cart shook and disappeared around the corner.
