The Northern Yan woman who is cared about by Jiang Guo's court should be the only one Xiao Zhinan, a cultivation wizard who has been rare in Yan for a hundred years.

Beiyandi is far away from Jiang Guo, Li Mengzhou can't figure it out, how could Xiao Zhinan appear in front of Jiang Ren at this time?

But it didn't have much to do with him, so he didn't bother to think about it, followed Aunt Feng into the noodle restaurant, packed a few bowls of noodles in a food box, and returned to his small courtyard.

In the sky that is gradually darkening, the white moonlight has been hung high in the sky, and the small courtyard will shine a silvery white.

Gu Shiyan sat on the rattan chair under the eaves as always, silently wiping her sword.

She didn't look up to look at Li Mengzhou, who pushed open the courtyard door and walked in, and said to herself: "That Xiao girl from Beiyan Jianlu has appeared in the territory of Jiang Kingdom, and her specific whereabouts are unknown, but she should appear in the capital sooner or later." ”

Li Mengzhou came to the eaves with the food box, and said with some confusion: "You have been staying at home, how can you know about that Miss Xiao?"

Gu Shiyan put the brightly wiped sword back into the sheath and said softly: "Someone in Chaosi Alley has been talking about it for a short time, even if I don't go out of the courtyard gate, I can hear it clearly." ”

Li Mengzhou thought that he had asked a nonsense.

He put the food box on the stone table in the small courtyard, brought out a few bowls of steaming noodles one by one, and said at the same time: "I don't care much about this matter, it seems that the capital has sent people over, who are they?"

Since the court did not hide this matter, in addition to the specific experience, what happened at the border of Jiang Guo should still be very clearly transmitted.

Although Gu Shiyan has never walked out of the courtyard, she obviously knows more things than Li Mengzhou.

She got up and left the rattan chair, sat on the stone bench, looked at the minced meat floating on the noodle soup in front of her, and said softly: "The cultivation mountain gate in the capital has sent people to go, there are Mr. North in the academy, the chief of the Star Picking Mansion, and the chief who does not fall on the mountain, there should be people in your sword academy who will go, but Mr. Big is not there, and Mr. Third did not move, and the most likely is Mr. Fourth who left the capital a year ago." ”

Li Mengzhou didn't know exactly where Ning Haoran had left the capital in the first place, but since the cultivation mountain gate had sent people, and they were not ordinary people, there was no reason for the Sword Academy to be indifferent, after all, that Xiao girl from Beiyan was a sword cultivator.

Although it is just a guess, if it is placed on the premise that the Sword Academy will definitely send people, no one in the capital will move, and only Ning Haoran is the most likely.

"Even Mr. Bei in the academy has gone, presumably he should have done it at the border, do you know the victory?"

Li Mengzhou thought that the one in the academy should be regarded as the highest peak among the younger generation of Jiang Guo, although Shen Qiubai's fame was more famous, but compared to Bei Zangfeng and Ouyang Shengxue, which one was stronger, there was no accurate explanation.

But the status of Ewha Academy is transcendent, and Beizangfeng, as the most outstanding disciple in the academy, even if he is said to be very poor, no one will believe him.

Gu Shiyan shook her head and said: "Although the story that happened at the border is over, there is no ending, the only thing that can be determined is that the two sides did make a move, maybe in the next few days, more news will come, but it is not yet known." ”

Li Mengzhou thought for a while and asked, "Do you know Xiao Zhinan?"

Gu Shiyan took a small bite of noodles and said, "I don't know." ”

Although she seems to be very able to eat, she is very elegant when she eats, which is also a very strange thing, at least for Li Mengzhou.

"I practiced in the Western Jin Dynasty and rarely went out, so I didn't know many people except for the practitioners of the Western Jin Dynasty and what I heard about the outside world. ”

"Then based on your knowledge of what Xiao Zhinan has heard, can you guess the ending of the story that happened at the border?"

Gu Shiyan took the chopsticks, stopped eating noodles, thought about it very seriously, and said: "Xiao Zhinan is a sword cultivator, and he is a very strong sword cultivator, and he grows up very quickly, otherwise he would not have the reputation of a rare kendo qualification in a hundred years. But speculation is just speculation after all, after all, I haven't seen Xiao Zhinan, and I can't accurately recognize her strength. ”

Li Mengzhou said: "So it is very likely that Xiao Zhinan and Mr. Shuyuan North are standing at the same height, so that my fourth senior brother is afraid that he is not an opponent." ”

Gu Shiyan was silent for a while, and said: "After all, it is a very distant thing, when Xiao Zhinan really appears in the capital, we will know." What are your plans for the matter of that Imperial Historian Yue Shiting?"

Li Mengzhou said: "Now I can basically be sure that Yue Shiting has not yet known what happened in Swallow Town, except for his daily needs to go out to purchase, his attention is all on the matter of the Panlong Banquet, and when the matter of the Panlong Banquet is over, his attention will definitely be transferred to Yanzi Town." ”

"In my opinion, instead of standing directly in front of him, it is better to wait and see. After he found out about the change in the Kui family, he would definitely do something, we are in the dark, he is in the light, so that it will be easier to find out his hidden secrets. ”

Whether Yue Shiting is an enemy or not is still a matter of opinion, and no matter what the final result is, the position of Imperial Doctor can never be ignored in the capital, not to mention that Yue Shiting himself is also a powerful monk at the peak of the Four Realms, and it is absolutely undesirable to fight hard.

Gu Shiyan is also very aware of this, Mo said that Li Mengzhou, who is a weak scum in her eyes, even if she encounters a strong person like Yue Shiting head-on, there is no possibility of winning.

"I'm just curious, Yue Shiting is a royal doctor, and he is kind and close to the people, but he doesn't go out to the market to buy in person, or even bargain with the hawkers, and this kind of thing often happens, which is not a problem in itself, but I always feel that there is a problem. ”

Li Mengzhou said thoughtfully: "Because the Panlong Banquet is about to start, Yue Shiting will rarely appear in the market again, maybe I should go to the market tomorrow, either I am too worried, or there may be some unknown secrets in the market." ”

There are very few rumors about Yue Shiting in the capital, and some of them are court officials who have been caught by Yue Shiting and imprisoned, so that except for a few high-ranking and powerful people in the court, they are all angry with Yue Shiting.

From these things, it can probably be seen that Yue Shiting seems to be an upright official, so as a good official, chatting and bargaining with ordinary people in the market is a very common thing.

Perhaps because of this, Li Mengzhou always felt that there was something wrong in his heart, in his past years, he had hardly seen an official like Yue Shiting, and what he had heard of was the official of Huacheng, who was responsible for building the city and had the praise of Qingtian, and Huacheng was named after his surname. Perhaps Li Mengzhou's heart was dark, and he was reluctant to believe that Yue Shiting was an innocent and good official, so it was very problematic that Yue Shiting was bargaining with the vendors in the market.

But whether it's really a problem, or it's just overthinking, you have to investigate it before you know.

Li Mengzhou felt that this should be a very tedious and boring thing.

When he was thinking about Yue Shiting's problem, he didn't know that there was about to set off a storm in the capital, and it was related to him.

......

At noon the next day, the sun was shining in the capital, and the sky was cloudless.

Li Mengzhou came back from the morning class in the Sword Courtyard of the Imperial Palace, and the scorching sun baked the bluestone pavement on the street, making the busy people sweat profusely, muttering that today's weather was surprisingly hot, it was the end of spring, and it was indeed time to heat up, but the heat came so suddenly, it was a very irritating thing.

Cultivators are immune to cold and heat, and according to their personal choice, some will face natural changes, while others will avoid them, so some practitioners will also feel cold in the cold winter and hot in the summer, which does not mean that their cultivation is not at home, it is just their choice.

Li Mengzhou narrowed his eyes, looked up at the scorching sun in the sky, the dazzling white light made him can't help but close his eyes completely, lowered his head and rubbed it before opening it, his vision was inexplicably dark for a moment.

He slowed down and headed for the bustling market.

Even if he has a very accurate goal, the market is very large, and the small vendors are even more extraordinary, but relying on the secret investigation of Yue Shiting in the past, it is clear that some of the vendors he frequents most will not be easy to implement.

Li Mengzhou wanted to ask Yue Shiting what he had done in the market, and he also wanted to avoid being noticed that he had a different purpose, so as not to reach Yue Shiting's ears in the future, and he could not make mistakes in the way he was questioned, and he would undoubtedly have to spend some silver, otherwise he would just talk in front of the stall and buy nothing, and I am afraid that those vendors would not be willing to deal with him.

Thinking of this, Li Mengzhou had a headache.

Before he knew it, he was standing at the entrance of the market.

The scene was more prosperous and lively than the other streets, with the shouting of hawkers, the rolling of wheels accompanied by the neighing of horses, and the children of ordinary people chasing each other and fighting, accidentally rubbing against the things on the stalls, and being kindly scolded by the stall owner.

There are also women dressed in coarse linen clothes who fight with the boss in front of a stall, fighting for the price, and constantly looking for vegetables and fruits, all for the purpose of bargaining.

Although the market is noisy, it also has a unique flavor.

Most of the people here are ordinary people, and the occasional ones who are dressed in luxurious clothes are also the maids of the big clan, after all, except for people like Yue Shiting, few powerful people go to the market to buy vegetables in person.

......

Li Mengzhou slowly raised his feet, about to step into the atmosphere of the market, but when the soles of his boots were about to fall to the ground, he paused for a moment and fell back to the same place.

His face became slightly solemn, and a sound of neat footsteps came from behind him, almost approaching in the time it took him to lift his feet.
