Chapter Twenty-Three: Sunset City
In one of the immortal cultivation cities of the Cangyue Empire, there is a restaurant called Forget the Heart Zhai.
This restaurant is the largest and most luxurious restaurant in this place, and the people in it are generally rich and noble or disciples of some big sects.
But just today, two uninvited guests came here, the two of them were unkempt, and the clothes on their bodies looked like they hadn't changed for several years, and after they came in, they ordered a large table of dishes and ate them with their heads down.
That's right, it's Xiao Yao and Yang Yichen, they have been in the mountains for almost a year, and they can't even eat enough, how can they have time to wash clothes!
The two of them have been eating there for almost an hour, and they have summoned all the shopkeepers, for fear that they will run away after eating!
Just when Yang Yichen snatched a chicken leg from Xiao Yao's bowl, Xiao Yao checked his nostrils with chopsticks, and there was a noisy sound below.
"Young Master, my mother is critically ill and needs money now, but you do this..."
Before she could finish speaking, a voice interrupted her: "Don't talk nonsense, our young master said nothing, what do you not believe." ”
Another voice said, "Don't worry, I said that as long as you sleep with me for one night, I will naturally give you money." ”
Xiao Yao and Yang Yichen didn't even eat when they heard the words from outside, and they stood up to watch the play.
I saw a rich boy pulling a woman into the restaurant, that woman was not like Leng Xiyan, she was not as glamorous as Leng Xiyan, nor was she like Zhou Tianya, she was a very attractive type.
The woman was dragged into the restaurant and sat next to the rich boy, but she still looked frightened.
At this time, the owner of the restaurant spoke: "Alas, another woman is going to be destroyed in the hands of Qian Huishao." ”
Xiao Yao asked the shopkeeper curiously: "Boss, who is this Qian Huishao?"
The shopkeeper stretched out a hand and made a hand gesture that even Xiao Yao knew and asked for money.
Xiao Yao took out ten spirit stones and handed them to the shopkeeper, but the shopkeeper said, "There are still five hundred yuan for rice!"
Xiao Yao reluctantly took out five hundred spirit stones and handed them to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper finally spoke: "This Qian Huishao is the second young master of the city lord of Sunset City, he is a person who controls his desires, every day when he goes out, he has to kidnap two women whose Yuan Yin has not broken and bring them back to enjoy, and some of them are just used for one night because the women's Yuan Yin has been broken What is the use to him, I heard that some women with excellent Yuan Yin were squeezed all the Yuan Yin by him overnight and died. ”
Xiao Yao and Yang Yichen were both angry but hateful when they heard this: "Big brother, this kind of person should be struck by thunder, let's teach him a lesson!"
"We're still single, he's changing one a day, and what kind of double fly is he playing! him!"
Just when Xiao Yao and Yang Yichen were discussing how to teach Qian Huishao a lesson, a voice came out from the side: "What kind of city lord and young master are you to repay you? Isn't the city lord's mansion just to help the people in the city? You actually use the power behind you to do whatever you want!"
"Dare to speak like such a young master of our family!"
A family member looked at the person who spoke and said angrily, Xiao Yao also looked at the person.
I saw that the man looked like a young man, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a small white face, holding a long sword in front of him, wearing a white robe, that heroic posture, that temperament, the reincarnation of the Yellow Emperor behind Xiao Yao was several streets!
Xiao Yao's evaluation of this is: "Sullen!"
"Who are you who dare to meddle with me?"
The young man said coldly, "It seems that you are annoyed and angry. ”
Before the words fell, the long sword in his hand was already out of the sheath, and the sword pointed at Qian Huishao's throat and said: "I instinctively want your life with this sword, it's not that I don't dare, it's just that I want to see what you are capable of." ”
But what he didn't notice was that a family member behind him was approaching with a dagger in his hand.
Seeing this, Xiao Yao put his two fingers together, and a sword aura came out of it, knocking out the dagger of the family.
The young man turned around and took the head of the famous man with a sword, and the next moment the head fell to the ground, and there was not half a drop of blood on the sword, seeing that this person's swordsmanship was fast and his swordsmanship was high.
But Qian Huishao took this opportunity to run away.
The young man didn't chase after him, but turned around and threw out a bag of spirit stones to the woman and said, "The money here should be enough for your mother's medical treatment."
After speaking, he walked straight towards Xiao Yao, he walked up to Xiao Yao and said, "Thank you for your help, although even if you don't do this, I can still kill him." ”
Xiao Yao grinned: "That's my presumptuousness, in Xiao Yao, he is His Excellency Yang Yichen?"
A smile appeared on the young man's face: "My name is Dongfang Bai." ”
"It turned out that the boss of Brother Dongfang was giving us good wine!"
Just when Xiao Yao and the others were drinking, two people walked in from outside Sunset City, and when these two people walked into Sunset City, the undercurrent in the city began to surge.
One of them is Lan Xuexi of the Qingcheng Sword Sect, and the other is also a woman, and her appearance is not inferior to the previous demon woman Zheng Lingtao, but she is a little less charming and a little more pure.
Lan Xuexi smiled: "Motong, this is Sunset City?"
"Yes, this is Sunset City, Xue Xi said that you are not good at cultivating in the Qingcheng Sword Sect, why come out with me, don't you want to prepare for a three-year appointment with that Yang Yichen?"
Lan Xuexi said with a smile: "Even if he Yang Yichen is a genius, how much improvement can he have in three years? Besides, he is just a waste who can't cultivate." ”
Now Lan Xuexi really has the capital to say this, because she is now in the early stage of foundation building, and she can break through the strength of the middle stage of foundation building at any time.
However, if she knew that Yang Yichen had the same strength now, she didn't know how she would feel.
Xia Motong looked at Lan Xuexi and persuaded like a confidant sister: "Xuexi, you have to know that there are people outside the world, and there is a day outside the world, you said that the master who appeared that day seems to have intentionally accepted Yang Yichen as an apprentice, what if he trains Yang Yichen to be a person who is even more talented than you?"
Lan Xuexi hugged Xia Motong's waist and said, "I know, if it really comes to that time, won't there still be you?"
Xia Motong is the princess of the Cangyue Empire, but she is not the kind of pampered princess.
She has been educated since she was a child to be considerate of the people's feelings and the like, she and Lan Xuexi have been good playmates since she was a child, a few days ago she suddenly had the idea of going out to play, and her good friend Lan Xuexi came with her.
Speaking of which, they were also unlucky, and soon after they entered Sunset City, they bumped into Qian Huishao, who was frightened by Dongfang Bai.
Qian Huishao saw two little beauties walking towards him, he still remembered his embarrassment just now, tidied up his clothes and stepped forward to talk.
"Where did you two girls come from?"
Xia Motong and Lan Xuexi didn't even look at him and walked straight over.
"Alas, Xuexi was here to talk to you just now?"
Xia Motong asked Lan Xuexi in a low voice, Lan Xuexi shook her head: "I don't know if I've never seen such an old-fashioned conversation anyway." ”
Qian Huishao was angry: "You guys give me an investigation where the two of them live, who are they, what forces are behind them, and give me a clear investigation!" Qian Huishao could only vent to the gang.
On the other side, Xiao Yao and the others were drunk, and it seemed that except for Xiao Yao, it seemed that all the wine he drank was automatically refined because of the Nine Turns of the Easy Trick, and there was nothing left.
Just as Xiao Yao was walking out with Yang Yichen in one hand and Dongfang Bai in the other, he heard the two of them talking about something.
"Hey, have you heard? The children of the Li family in the east of the city have also been lost!"
"What? The man of the Li family is a cultivator in the later stage of foundation building, and he has lost it?"
"That's right, I don't even know when I lost it, now the people of the Li family are crazy, yes, if he catches the murderer, he will be broken into thousands of pieces!"
"Come on, everyone who lost their child says so, but who found it? I think they just ran away. ”
Xiao Yao was also curious when he heard this: "Alas, what are you talking about, two big brothers?"
One of them turned to Xiao Yao and said, "Little brother, you're not a local, are you? Let me tell you that in the past few months, all the little girls in this city have been lost, some people say that they are abducting people, some people say they are demon clans, and some people say that they are letting evil demons and foreign ways take them to practice evil skills." ”
Xiao Yao heard a dinging sound in his head here.
Shangguan Yunyan's voice also came: "System task, Xiao Yao, you go and find out this matter clearly." ”
Xiao Yao heard Shangguan Yunyan say this, so he had no choice but to throw Yang Yichen and Dongfang Bai aside and asked, "Then there are no clues left at the scene?"
Another person said: "Why is the little brother also curious about this matter, this matter was taken over by the City Lord's Mansion himself, but I have heard a lot of clues! I heard that the child was not lost, and before he said that he saw a few black shadows, he disappeared when no one paid attention to it again!"
"Really, that might be the work of some evil cultivators, right?" Xiao Yao asked.
The man caught it and said, "Maybe, but I also heard that this matter seems to be related to human trafficking, and recently there have always been such people who have been arrested by the people of the City Lord's Mansion, but they have given the City Lord anything and finally let them go." ”
In fact, Xiao Yao still thinks that the elders of Qian Huishao's family are still good officials, but when he heard this person say this, it turned out that he was also a meat official who saw Qian and opened his eyes.
When Xiao Yao heard this, he grabbed Yang Yichen and Dongfang Bai and left, and the people behind him said, "Hey, little brother is not listening?"
Xiao Yao looked back and smiled: "No, I may have an idea." ”
Xiao Yao knew that although this kind of place was well-informed, the words of these people would be believed at most, and if he heard too much, it would affect his reasoning.
Because the remaining seven points were generally made up by them, Xiao Yao took Yang Yichen and Dongfang Bai casually found an inn, went in and opened a few rooms, left Yang Yichen and Dongfang Bai on the bed, and returned to the room by himself to start burning incense and bathing.
And not long after Xiao Yao entered, Xia Motong and Lan Xuexi also entered this inn, and the room turned out to be not far from Xiao Yao and them.
Xia Motong sat in his room and asked Lan Xuexi with a heavy face: "Alas, Xuexi, what do you think is going on with the loss of children in this city?"
Lan Xuexi opened the window and took a deep breath and said, "It must be that the people of the City Lord's Mansion are incompetent, otherwise why would they lose so many children?"
Xia Motong shook his head: "No, I don't think this matter may have something to do with the City Lord's Mansion." ”
Lan Xuexi was surprised: "What! I said, Motong, how could the City Lord's Mansion finish doing bad things by themselves and then check it out by themselves?
Xia Motong said: "Just try it." ”
On the other side, Xiao Yao came out of the shower with a towel wrapped around him, and when he came out, he saw Shangguan Yunyan sitting on the bed, as if thinking about something.
Xiao Yao was startled and turned his head back to get dressed, and came back angrily: "Next time you come out again, can you say it in advance?"
Shangguan Yunyan said with a smile: "What are you afraid of what I see? I have seen all your memories, what else do I not know!"
To be honest, Xiao Yao sometimes really wanted to kill Shangguan Yunyan, but he couldn't.
Although he hadn't tried it, he knew from the aura left on Shangguan Yunyan's body that the aura on her body was similar to Xuanyuan Sword, it was not coercion, but a kind of power that made people surrender.
Shangguan Yunyan suddenly asked Xiao Yao, "What do you think of this incident?"
Xiao Yao replied: "I think this matter has something to do with the City Lord's Mansion. ”
Shangguan Yunyan asked, "Oh! Why are you so sure?"
Xiao Yao smiled: "It's not for sure, but as long as you try, you'll know." ”
