Chapter 46: Caoxi City

Caoxi City, with a population of less than 50,000, although it is called a city, it is actually only a small town, and it is not among the one hundred and eight cities in the Northern Spirit Domain.

The clear river runs through the city, and the bluestone road near the river is wet after the rain just last night.

Life in the town is not fast-paced, and it is only seven or eight o'clock in the morning, when some vendors yawn and open their doors to get ready to start the day's business.

"It's so laid-back."

A young man dressed in black, walking slowly on the road, by the river facing the street, a woman in a cloth skirt holding a wooden basin ready to wash clothes, the air after the rain is exceptionally fresh.

A few steps further, a shop near the river exudes a burst of aroma, and a cloth banner fluttering next to the door of the shop, with a large tea word written on it.

Ye Cheng walked into the shop, found a place and sat down at random, the word tea was written at the door of the store, but breakfast was also sold in the small shop, and the aroma of fried cakes was permeating.

"What does the guest want?"

Xiao Er ushered in, this eyesight is naturally there, although the black-clothed young man in front of him did not bring a maid, but the clothes on his body are luxurious, and his demeanor faintly exudes nobility, obviously not an ordinary family.

"Bring me a pot of meat porridge, and give me any special pastries, hurry up, this is a reward for you"

Ye Cheng casually threw out a piece of broken silver, the little er's eyes lit up, there were enough of one or two pieces of silver, and he immediately took it.

"Okay, Childe wait a minute"

As he spoke, he hurried down.

Soon the hot porridge and various pastries were put on the table, and Ye Cheng was really hungry at this time.

There were also a few tables of people scattered in the store, and on the table next to Ye Cheng, several young people chatted casually while drinking porridge.

"The little lady of the Jiang family in the city heard that something happened again," a young man in white put down the porridge bowl and said

"Oh, is that the lady of the Jiang family who oppressed Cao Xi?" The other black-clothed boy's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked

"It's not that Jiang family lady, who else, yesterday evening, the sons of the Liu family and the Wang family in the city fought for that little lady again, I heard that several people died on both sides."

"Not only the Liu family and the Wang family, didn't the two brothers of the Ji family also fight a few days ago, their heads were broken and bleeding, it was called a miserable, and several domestic servants also died, I heard that the old lady Ji was angry enough" Another person sighed next to him

"Since the Jiang family came to this Caoxi City, the business of the Yihong Courtyard has been reduced by more than a percent, and it is also strange, the sons and brothers of the entire Caoxi City have been sticking up one by one, and they don't even go to the Yihong Courtyard, is this Jiang family lady really so good?" said the black-clothed man.

"Yihong Courtyard is full of vulgar powder, how can it be compared with the lady of the Jiang family, I have seen the lady of the Jiang family from afar, it is really a national color and fragrance, a stunner in the world, if you can let me marry, I am willing to live ten years less" The young man in white had an obsessive look on his face

"Come on, you still want to eat the swan meat of the Jiang family's little lady, take care of your tigress first."

Several people laughed again, and the white-clothed man's face turned red and forcibly argued

"What tigress, we call it...... Raise the case with eyebrows, yes, raise the case with eyebrows"

A few people next to him laughed again

............

Ye Cheng listened to the chatter of a few sons and brothers on the side, and couldn't help but chuckle.

Left and right are just some jealous things for Brother Gongzi, if it is about family background, of course he can be regarded as the No. 1 Brother Gongzi in Beining City, but this kind of thing is too far away from him.

Since he practiced martial arts, his life has become farther and farther away from ordinary people, and now he is only an inner family, and when he really sets foot in the realm of Tianyuan, he will truly step into the transcendent world, and the shackles of the world will become smaller and smaller for him.

"Let's go, today the little lady of the Jiang family is going to go outside the city to offer incense, we can also take the opportunity to feast our eyes"

A few people at the adjacent table took a piece of broken silver and went out noisily.

The sun rose, and the flow of people on the street gradually increased, and Ye Cheng also got up and walked out.

The food on the table was enough for five or six people, but it was eaten clean by Ye Cheng, which made Xiao Er, who came to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, stunned.

Since Ye Cheng entered the Inner Qi Realm, his amount of food has also become larger and larger, and the weight of five or six people is half full for him.

Ye Chengke didn't care what Xiao Er thought, he was already walking towards the east of Caoxi City at this time, he didn't come to Caoxi City to play.

According to the news of Qingyu Pavilion, more than 100 people have died of illness and disappeared in this Caoxi City for no reason, and they are all concentrated in the eastern part of the city, but the time has been scattered for a year, and when the number of missing people increases, this alarmed Qingyu Pavilion

"It's only been a year to kill less than 100 people, it should be just a wandering ghost, but in the last month, twenty people have suddenly disappeared, it seems that there has been a breakthrough in strength, and it has begun to be unscrupulous."

Ye Cheng thought in his heart, and before he knew it, he had arrived in the east of Caoxi City.

At this time, there were more pedestrians on the street, and the cries of various vendors came, buying sugar gourds, selling baked cakes, braised meat and pickles, and from time to time there were also people stepping on each other's heels, disturbing each other for a few words, and then merging into the flow of people.

"Hurry up, hurry up, then the Jiang family lady will come out this time in a month, and after that, you will have to wait for next month"

Ye Cheng was a little stunned, there were the young men in the teahouse in front of him, who thrust the fan back at this time and rushed forward against the people.

"Men love beautiful women, whether it is ancient or now, it is almost the same"

Ye Cheng is the young master of the Ye family in Beining City, and there are naturally many delicate-looking women around him, and Ling'er's appearance and qualifications are the top ones in Beiling City, which is not comparable to those packaged stars in the previous life.

There was even someone who offered 5,000 taels of silver to buy Ling'er, but he was naturally beaten by Ye Cheng later, and he couldn't do it.

When Ye Cheng first entered the Ye Mansion, he did have a feeling of being charmed by the flowers, a delicate maid, and wanted to refuse and welcome, this kind of temptation was not something that ordinary people could resist, but a series of things forced him to continue to become stronger, and after refining the martial arts, he continued to become stronger, and his mind about this aspect of the matter faded

At this time, he didn't have a clear destination, and he was also interested in what kind of woman he was like who could make many sons and brothers in the city flock to him.

He followed those sons forward, anyway, with a few of them opening the way, he was also happy to be idle.

After the crowded market, there were gradually fewer people, and those boys also found Ye Cheng who was following behind.

He has been cultivating martial arts all year round, even if Ye Cheng is not wearing any luxurious decorations, the kind of life and death that is not comparable to ordinary people.

"This brother looks quite impressive, is it that he came to see the Jiang family's lady," the white-clothed man who was the leader said with a smile

Ye Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then smiled

"In Xia Yecheng, I have traveled all the way here, I just overheard the words of a few brothers, and I am a little curious, everyone has a love for beauty, but this little lady of the Jiang family is really so beautiful?"

"Okay, everyone has a love for beauty, Brother Ye is really literary and romantic, he is a man in my generation" The white-clothed brother's eyes lit up, and he applauded loudly, revealing an expression that everyone is a man, you know.

The rest of the people who followed also gathered around at this time, and a young man in a cyan robe spoke

"Brother Ye is a foreigner, I don't know the benefits of the Jiang family's lady, as long as I see the Jiang family's lady, I'm afraid I will be happy."

The rest of the people also chimed in

"Let's go, go together, go together, today it just so happens that the lady of the Jiang family is going out of the city to incense, let's just feast our eyes"

Ye Cheng was mixed in the middle of several people, dealing with a few people at will, and rushed to Najiang's house.

But when he really arrived at the Jiang family, Ye Cheng was still stunned by the scene in front of him.

In front of the Jiang family is a wide driveway, where most of the city's wealthy people live, and the street is lined with elegant courtyard mansions on both sides.

But at this time, the lane was secretly full of pedestrians, and at the forefront were several waves of brocade-clothed men like fighting cocks, who stood at the forefront, and behind them were five or six sturdy men, who were angry at each other, as if they would start fighting at any time.

And on the periphery, there was a group of people around, there were young men in linen shirts, and there were also sons and brothers like Ye Cheng, nearly 100 people were bustling together, just like a street market.

"What's the matter, I'm shocked, it's quite a few today, and I heard that the most one time is five or six hundred people coming."

Looking at Ye Cheng's stunned look, the man in white said triumphantly, with a proud expression.

"Look, the lady of the Jiang family is out"

I don't know who shouted in the crowd, and suddenly the crowd rushed forward.

A figure in a long skirt appeared in front of the door, the pale pink long skirt outlined an amazing curve, and the white bandeau on the chest was faintly visible, as if it couldn't suppress the turbulence on the chest, and a deep ravine loomed, making people's blood gush.

The woman's face was charming, with a small cherry mouth and delicate red lips, and she seemed to be a little frightened at this time, and a pair of white and tender little hands pressed on her chest, and there was a wave of turbulence.

"You mud-legged people still want to eat swan meat, hurry back, don't you see that it scared the Jiang family's lady?"

The guards behind the brocade-robed boys circled around, directly blocking the crowd five or six meters away, but the onlookers were frantically squeezing forward, their eyes flashing with fascination.

But the brocade-clothed men gathered in front of the woman, not knowing what they were talking about, and they also had an obsessive look on their faces.

The boys who came with them had already crowded into the middle of the crowd, and at this time, only Ye Cheng was left standing outside the crowd, looking thoughtfully at the crowd in front of him.

I have to say that the woman is indeed extremely beautiful, although she is a few points worse than Ling'er, but in this small city, she is indeed a national beauty, and the most important thing is that she is pure and charming, which can stimulate the desire of men.

"It seems that I am getting farther and farther away from the mortal world"

Ye Cheng sighed lightly, that woman is extremely beautiful, but that's it, there is no wave in his heart, just an attitude of appreciation, just like an ordinary person seeing a beautiful flower, happy body and mind.

Looking at the crowd rushing forward frantically, he couldn't help but feel a little bored, for a mere woman who was confused and delirious, made him feel that everyone in front of him was pathetic and pitiful.

"Even if it is glamorous and oppressive of the world, it will not be a pink skeleton after a hundred years, and the loess will be pulled"

Thinking about this, Ye Cheng felt a clear meaning in his heart, turned around and prepared to leave.

Transcending the mundane with his own martial arts, not being fascinated by things, and seeking the power to break through the limits of the world, this is the way of a martial artist.

Ye Cheng was about to leave, but suddenly there was a sudden shock, and several black-clothed and masked figures rushed towards Jiang Mansion, holding a bright long knife in their hands and rushing directly into the crowd.

Suddenly, the scene was in chaos.
