Yimen Yanchang, located to the west of the Chen Clan Ancestral Hall, is a very lively and bustling street.

On both sides of the bluestone-paved streets, a variety of shops are lined up.

On this stone road, deep rut marks can be clearly seen, which shows that this street has a long history, and even Chen Xuan's father, Chen Ba, can't say how long it is.

When they came to this street, the whole field had long since lost its former bustling scene.

Except for some grocery stores selling firewood, rice, oil and salt, all other shops are closed.

Even if there is no closed shop, there are only some old, weak, sick and disabled, squatting at the door, shouting weakly, but they can't wait for one or two guests, so they sigh and wait for the door to close.

"Young master, it seems that I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, since our Chen family was forced to separate, the business on this street is getting worse and worse. Chen Fangguo followed behind Chen Xuan and said to him.

"Yes, young master, our people are distributed in all directions, so there is no need to buy and sell here. Chen Zhong also interjected beside him.

Chen Xuan ignored them, he was standing in the middle of the stone street, slowly looking at the left and right.

I saw that in the depths of the street, rows of mahogany flag advertisements had long been incomplete.

A grocery store closest to them, with the words "Three rivers and two foreign goods, treasures from all over the world" written on it, hunted and fluttered in the wind.

However, the grocery store has long since closed, and there seems to be a seal on it and a notice next to it.

"Let's go and have a look. ”

Chen Xuan estimated that the spirit stones he wanted should be sold in this kind of grocery store.

Because he observed, the other stores all sold food, clothing, housing and transportation supplies, and he didn't need all of them, so only this kind of grocery store had something to sell.

When the three of them walked quickly to the door of the grocery store, they finally saw clearly the words written on the seal, "Jiangzhou Mansion is sealed, and private demolition must be investigated!"

Then written below is the date of the seal, that is, the thirty-eighth year of the Great Chu auspicious symbol, which is the year name of the current Great Chu Emperor.

"I've been an emperor for so many years, and I'm still a puppet, and no one can stand it if I release it......"

After seeing these lines, Chen Xuan said with a gentle sigh: "It seems that the hearts of the people are really not ancient, but it is a pity that the current rulers have long thrown the teachings of the Three Emperors and the Five Emperors out of the clouds. ”

He moved his gaze to the notice next to him, and his face changed dramatically.

I saw this notice written in cursive on red paper and black letters: "The mountains and rivers are turbulent, and the times are restless." In order to get rid of the water thieves as soon as possible, cut off their resources. All farms in neighboring states and counties are closed...... The Divine Emperor will patrol for a day in the near future, and then go down to the south of the Yangtze River, if he finds a violator, he will be killed!"

Below the notice, a batch of prohibited items was written, including the spirit stone items that Chen Xuan urgently needed.

After reading the notice, Chen Xuan couldn't help but gasp, and at the same time hated itchy.

I thought to myself, this must be the conspiracy of the God Emperor, just now my father Chen Ba has already given him a secret, that is, the Chen family was divided, in fact, it is the conspiracy of this God Emperor, coupled with the fanning of several other families in China, the Yimen Chen family is already in a very critical situation.

He glanced at Chen Fangguo and Chen Zhong, his teeth chattered with hatred, if he had enough cultivation, he really wanted to rush to the capital to fight to the death with that god emperor and avenge the blood hatred for the family.

It's a pity that the reality is a big difference from the ideal, he is only a mortal realm level nine, and he is not even a martial artist, if he rashly fights him, it will be like a moth to a fire and kill himself.

However, Chen Xuan considered himself a very strong-willed person, and as a cultivator of both civil and military cultivation, he had to have a very tenacious and tenacious will, so that he could overcome all kinds of challenges and difficulties that he might encounter later.

He immediately took a small silver ticket, bought a few clothes for the season at an inconspicuous stall next to the grocery store, and handed them to Chen Zhong, and then continued to walk along this stone road, in the opposite direction of the river and lake, he knew that if he walked in this direction, he would cross the Feilu Mountain outside the Jiangdu City, and then go downhill all the way to the outside of Xunyang City.

"Young master, let's set off all the way, I'm afraid we have to bring something to eat, otherwise we won't have the strength, I'm afraid we won't be able to do it before we arrive. ”

Chen Zhong reminded him in time by the side, which made Chen Xuan think of a very important thing.

"You two come here, I have something to ask you. Chen Xuan pointed at them and continued: "The Xunyang Martial Academy is hundreds of miles away from us, if we rely on our two legs alone, we will definitely not be able to reach it without ten days and a half months." I think I'm physically able to hold it, and you two don't know if it's okay. I think we'd better buy a few horses so we can run a little faster on the road, what do you think?!"

"Young master, I was about to tell you that there are a few stagecoaches at the back of our ancestral hall, which were originally used by messengers, but now the world is very chaotic, and the messengers have already gone their separate ways that day, and these horses have not been fed by special people. Why don't we go over...... Give those horses to ......."

Chen Fangguo made a smooth move, and Chen Zhong also understood.

Seeing the two of them singing together, Chen Xuan naturally understood eight or nine points.

However, he knew very well in his heart that unless it was used by the government, if the common people used such a stagecoach, they would be imprisoned for several years, and if the sentence was heavier or they were killed by traitors, then I am afraid that there would be a possibility of losing their heads.

Therefore, we must be absolutely sure that Chen Xuan will never do such a headless thing.

When he told them what he thought, he was soon informed of a very important piece of news, that is, the horses had been removed from the official roster, mainly because their service had expired, and they were naturally eliminated by the authorities.

Hearing this, Chen Xuan gradually put his mind at ease, thinking that something was better than nothing, so he hurriedly explained to them, hurried to the ancestral hall, and brought the horses over.

Chen Fangguo and Chen Zhong took the order and left, leaving Chen Xuan alone on this empty street.

After watching them walk away, Chen Xuan walked a few more steps, he saw a teahouse, and was attracted by a banner on it "Yimen Teahouse", thinking that he couldn't buy spirit stones today anyway, so it was better to just drink tea here while waiting for them to pass the boring time.

When he walked to the door, a young man with a full face greeted him, nodded to him and said, "Guest officer, you are alone, what do you have to order." ”

Chen Xuan pursed his lips and said, "Bring me a pound of rice wine, plus half a pound of beef." By the way, give me some more Jiangzhou rice noodles......"
