Quliang City is located on the plain between two big rivers, the big river in the north is from west to east, named Liang River, the big river in the south bends from here, goes straight south, and finally joins Yunmengze, named Jin Canal, by the name of the canal water, it is rumored that the ancestors of the Jin Kingdom are a tribe excavated in the Jin Canal Basin.

Quliang City, like Tianwu City, is a county town directly ruled by the Jin Dynasty, but because of the special location here, and Qushui is the birthplace of the Jin royal family, the county guard here has always been the confidant of the Jin King, and more importantly, the county guard here must be a cultivator to serve.

In order to have a good relationship with these cultivators, the kings of the Jin Dynasty of the past dynasties specially sent the best of the cultivators supported by the royal family to this place to deal with the relationship with the Scattered Cultivation Alliance.

This is the reason why many scattered cultivators served in the Jin Dynasty, so Quliang City was an important pawn of the Jin King to curb the development of Xuanyangmen, and Xuanyangmen has rarely developed its influence here in order to show loyalty to the Jin Dynasty.

After entering Quliang City, Ma Xie first found an inn to live in, this is a mortal inn, food and accommodation are very cheap, and it will not attract the attention of others.

After settling down, Ma Xie took Lei Shi and Yuan Wuji to find a hotel to eat something.

"Guest, our best restaurant here is the newly opened Nanfeng Restaurant. That's the South Wind Master of Wangcheng!" Xiao Er enthusiastically introduced the customs and customs of this place to Ma Xie.

"Master Nanfeng?" Ma Xie and Yuan Wuji glanced at each other, could it be that Qi Nanfeng opened it?

They asked for the address and decided to go and see if this Nanfeng restaurant had anything to do with Qi Nanfeng.

The outer city basically occupies three-quarters of the entire Quliang City, and the inner city is part of the northeast corner of the outer city, which is surrounded by a black city wall.

The outer city is an area where mortals are active, while in the inner city, only cultivators can enter.

In the outer part of the inner city, it is the most prosperous place in the entire Quliang City, after all, you can see the immortal master here, maybe you can also bump into the "immortal yuan", and be accepted as a disciple by the immortal master.

Nanfeng Building is in the middle of the street outside the inner city, and the entrance of the hotel is right opposite the gate of the inner city.

"This hotel is really magnificent, and you can tell that the food inside is not ordinary. Yuan Wuji turned into a white boy at this moment, holding a handful of this fan and pretending to stand beside Ma Xie.

The three of them walked into the hotel, and although it was still early in the morning, it was already full.

Xiao Er came up to greet him enthusiastically, and Ma Xie found a place near the window to sit down.

"Xiao Er, is that the inner city of Quliang City?"

Xiao Er said with a smile while pouring tea: "Exactly, but the door of the inner city is closed all year round, and it will only be opened when there is a big event." ”

"Then how did those cultivators get in and out?" Ma Xie asked curiously.

"Of course, the immortal masters will not meet us mortals often! The immortal masters all walk from the other side of the inner city, where mortals are not allowed to pass. Xiao Er said with envy on his face, being able to be a shopkeeper in this place, in the eyes of many mortals, it is a blessing that he has cultivated for several lifetimes.

"Guest, I don't know what you want? To be honest, your luck is really good, it just so happens that today is a good day for the first anniversary of the opening of our Nanfeng Building, and our big boss and head chef will also come here, and he will personally cook and give back to your customers. Xiao Er said to Ma Evil.

"Your big boss is ......" Ma Xie asked, and there was a trace of nervousness in his heart.

"Don't you know that our big boss of Nanfeng Building? That's the famous Qi Nanfeng Qi Shen Chef! Maybe it will be the chef of the royal family in the near future, and you can eat the food she cooks by herself, it's really a blessing!" Speaking of their big boss, Xiao Er admired it with a face.

Ma Xie and Yuan Wuji glanced at each other, but they didn't expect it to be Qi Nanfeng.

"Master, who is Qi Nanfeng? I seem to have heard you talk about it. Lei Shi asked with a blank expression.

"It's your master! it's so stupid!" Yuan Wuji said with a wicked smile.

"Don't talk nonsense!" Ma Xie was a little embarrassed.

Xiao Er was even more anxious: "Yes, this young master, don't talk nonsense." It wouldn't be good if it was heard by Young Master Nangong's people. ”

"Young Master Nangong?" Ma Xie frowned, how could this matter be a little strange.

"Little Er, who is Young Master Nangong, you tell me in detail. Ma Xie said with a straight face, although he knew that Nanfeng would not do anything stupid, but when he heard that there were other men by Qi Nanfeng's side, Ma Xie still felt unhappy for a while.

Xiao Er saw that Ma Xie's face was wrong, so he didn't dare to say more, so he snorted and said, "Objective, you better order first, I have other guests to greet." ”

Ma Xie didn't want to embarrass Xiao Er, so he said: "Then order a 'pearl jade white jade soup'!"

"Pearl Jade White Jade Soup?What kind of dish is this?Why haven't I heard of it?" Xiao Er scratched his head.

"Ask your boss and she'll do it. "I don't know why, Ma Xie remembered that when he was in Tianwu City that day, the people of the Tianwu Chamber of Commerce came to make it difficult for Qi Nanfeng to ask for this dish, I don't know why, Ma Xie just wanted to be embarrassed for Qi Nanfeng!

Xiao Er respectfully retreated and told the back kitchen the dishes ordered by Ma Xie.

After a while, Xiao Er walked out, dragging a plate in his hand, and a porcelain pot was placed on the plate.

"What is this?" Ma Xie asked, "What I ordered is pearl jade and white jade soup!"

Xiao Er was embarrassed and said, "This is ...... This is what our big boss ordered you to give you, and I want you to try it. ”

Ma Xie frowned, picked up the small pot and tasted it: "Isn't this vinegar!"

"Aren't you good at this mouthful, our big boss will let you drink enough at one time!" A crisp voice came, and Ma Xie saw that it was Lan Jing.

"Senior Sister Lan......" Ma Xie seemed to understand something.

"Little Lizi, go down. This is a distinguished guest, and you can't say hello. Lan Jing sent Xiao Lizi away and walked to Ma Xie's table.

Xiao Lizi said hello with a stomach, what is the origin of this person? First, he ordered a dish that he had never heard of, and then he could let the second boss of Nanfeng Building and the big boss of Nanfeng Building in Quliang City personally entertain him?

Lan Jing walked over, pulled a chair and sat down.

Ma Xie looked at Lan Jing, who was so natural and generous, and it was a little unnatural.

"Senior Brother Ma, don't come unharmed. Lan Jing said with a smile.

Ma Xie said: "I have always been very good. You opened this shop?

"Nanfeng, Nanfeng is naturally with Nangong Gongzi, today Nangong Gongzi specially came from Yicheng to congratulate, of course our boss wants to accompany him to narrate!" When she said this, Lan Jing deliberately didn't look at Ma Xie and glanced into the distance.

Ma Xie's face was flushed with anger, and there was a powerful anger in his heart that he wanted to vent, but he held back.

"Stone, let's go!" Ma Xie stood up and slapped the table.

This attracted everyone's attention, and Lan Jing also seemed to sense that Ma Xie was wrong, and hurriedly said to the other guests: "It's okay, it's okay, you can continue to enjoy it!" ”

Then Lan Jing grabbed Ma Xie and made him sit down.

"What are you doing here? Lan Jing asked.

"I didn't do anything, I just didn't want to stay anymore. Ma Xie looked at the vinegar bottle in front of him and said.

Lan Jing covered her forehead and said, "You are really ......."

Before the words fell, I only heard a familiar voice say: "Sister Lan, if the guest doesn't want to eat, let him go, anyway, this person has always been free and self-reliant, and he can go wherever he wants." ”

The person who came was Qi Nanfeng, followed by Zhang Daniu behind him, this kid had grown a lot, he was already half a head taller than Qi Nanfeng, and he was darker and stronger, he was standing behind Qi Nanfeng, with a smile on his face.

Seeing Qi Nanfeng coming, Ma Xie was a little restless, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

"Ma Shaoxia, is the vinegar delicious?" Qi Nanfeng asked, she was very different from the girl of the day, there was a touch of majesty between her eyebrows, and there was an irresistible power in her words.

Ma Xie understood the meaning of Qi Nanfeng's words, and said stubbornly: "I'm not jealous!"

When Qi Nanfeng heard Ma Xie ask, he suddenly became angry and said, "Oh, I know." Didn't you just want to leave, big cow, send off guests! In the future, this kind of person will not be allowed to come to the outside store, do you hear?"

After saying that, Qi Nanfeng turned his head and left, leaving behind the overwhelmed people, Lan Jing chased after him, and gave Zhang Daniu a look by the way.

Zhang Daniu saw Qi Nanfeng leaving, and hurriedly ran over to grab Ma Xiedao:

"Brother Ma! You are really unlucky! That kid surnamed Nangong was just scolded away by Shi Niang, and you came with some pearl jade and white jade soup, Shi Niang guessed that it was you, so she asked me to take a look.

I saw you come in, just wanted to say hello to you, but was caught back by Miss Lan, she asked Xiao Lizi what she told you, after listening, Shi Niang brought you this bottle of vinegar, who knew that not only did you not understand Shi Niang's mind, but you also had to leave......"

Ma Xie understood what was going on, and he said a little embarrassed: "It's not because Lan Jing said that your master and that Nangong prince ......."

"Hey, this Boss Lan, the distinguished guest greeted by the master is hiding! Nangong Yi is just one of them, just now because he has a lot of tongues, he has been kicked out by the master!" Zhang Daniu said.

After listening to Da Niu's explanation, Ma Xie understood what was going on, but at this moment, Qi Nanfeng had already left, and he didn't know what to do.

Zhang Daniu was very excited, grabbed Ma Xie, called Shangyuan Wuji and Lei Shi, and pulled them to the courtyard behind.

There were several elegantly furnished single rooms in the courtyard at the back, and Zhang Daniu asked Yuan Wuji and Lei Shi to dine in another house first, and pulled Ma Xie to the easternmost house.

"The master is inside, you should go in and persuade her. Zhang Daniu said.

Ma Xie knew that things had come to this point, and he had to make a concession, so he could only open the door and walk in.

I saw Qi Nanfeng sitting with his back against the table, without saying a word.

"South Wind ......" knew that he had misunderstood South Wind, and Ma Xie suddenly felt a little weak.

Qi Nanfeng ignored Ma Xie.

"I heard Lan Jing say that you ...... Forehead...... I misunderstood, sorry. Ma Xie said and walked in front of Qi Nanfeng.

Qi Nanfeng, who thought he was angry, was full of tears at the moment, and when Ma Xie stood in front of her, Qi Nanfeng didn't care anymore, and pounced on Ma Xie and hugged him.

At this moment, Ma Xie didn't need to say anything more, hugged Qi Nanfeng tightly, and said softly: "Nanfeng, I'm back." ”

Qi Nanfeng cried and said, "Why! Why have you done so many dangerous things? Do you know how many people are chasing you now, if it weren't for me happening to be here today, would you be ready to leave the Jin Kingdom? Will I never see you again?"

Qi Nanfeng, who has been in the center of the Jin Kingdom, has been paying attention to the news from the north.

When she knew that a disciple named Ma Xie had betrayed the disciple of the Tianwu Sect and designed to capture the exotic treasure "Overlord Flowing Fire", she went all the way south, and after being pursued by the northern scattered cultivators, she almost fainted in fright.

Then she had been paying attention to Ma Xie's news, knowing that he had gone through a lot of crises and finally escaped to the vicinity of Chongcheng.

Qi Nanfeng knew that Chongcheng was the territory of Xuanyang Gate, and Ma Xie would not be there for long, so she guessed whether Ma Xie would come to Quliang City and use the formation of the Three Repair Alliance to escape from the Jin Kingdom.

Exactly a year ago, Qi Nanfeng opened a branch here, so she came to Quliang City, hoping to get more news of Ma Xie here.
