Tongde Street is only more than ten minutes away from their yard. According to the address Zhou Ziheng said, Wang Xiaotian quickly found the Qiu Ji grocery store in the second lane, and saw the thin shopkeeper Qiu who was lying on his back on the Taishi chair like a bamboo pole, sleeping heavily.

Wang Xiaotian explained his intention to the guys in the store and showed Zhou Ziheng's letter.

The guys in the store didn't dare to slack off, and immediately ran to the shopkeeper Qiu's side, and shouted loudly in his ear: "Shopkeeper, shopkeeper, wake up, it's terrible, something is wrong." ”

"Ah?" "The shopkeeper Qiu was woken up, tried to open his sleepy eyes, got up in his stomach, and threw it at the guy, "What howl, crying and mourning? Lao Tzu just fell asleep, and was woken up by you, what's the important matter, can't you wait for Lao Tzu to wake up?"

The guy endured the spittle spitting from the shopkeeper Qiu, and without waiting for him to finish speaking, he immediately stretched out his right hand and made a quick gesture on his chest (the thumb and middle finger are stretched in a figure-eight shape, and the other three fingers are curled), and said, "Someone sent you a letter." ”

When Shopkeeper Qiu saw the gesture of the guy, his anger immediately disappeared when he got up, and he hurriedly jumped up and asked, "What about the letter?"

The guy immediately beckoned to Wang Xiaotian.

Wang Xiaotian walked over, took out the letter and handed it over.

Before the shopkeeper Qiu received the letter, he saw the words "Teng Qi Nian personally opened" on the cover. He snatched the letter violently, carefully read the handwriting on the envelope several times, sniffed the ink with his nose, and said excitedly: "Not bad, not bad." It's the handwriting, it's the smell of gallnut. I thought I would never have a chance again in this life, but I didn't expect to wait until this day!"

Wang Xiaotian said in surprise: "Don't you look at what is written inside?"

Shopkeeper Qiu rolled his eyes at him, "You can't read, didn't you see what is written on it?" 'Teng Qi Nian personally opened', I am not Teng Qi Nian, how dare I open the letter and see what is written inside?"

Wang Xiaotian was even more puzzled, and said: "You don't know what is written, why are you so excited? ”

Shopkeeper Qiu looked Wang Xiaotian up and down, and said, "Little brother, is it the first time you do this errand?"

Wang Xiaotian was afraid that he would look down on him, so he naturally didn't admit it, and said with a stiff neck: "Who said that, I have done too much of such an errand." ”

The more he said this, the more the shopkeeper Qiu became convinced that he was a novice, raised the letter in his hand, and said with a smile: "If you have done this errand before, how can you not know, 'A piece of paper summoning the dragon talisman will terrify the ghosts and gods'?"

What?!

Dragon Summoner?!

Hell?!

Make no mistake, right?

Isn't the plot of such a middle two only supposed to appear in, with X Aotian as the protagonist, in that series?

Also, Zhou Ziheng should be from the Inspection Yuan, right? The Inspection Yuan should be a state department, right? How can it be like a heretical sect in the rivers and lakes? It is a secret letter and a dragon talisman, what kind of thing is this?

Seeing Wang Xiaotian's expression, Shopkeeper Qiu was sure that he was a chick.

Shopkeeper Qiu immediately said with a serious face: "Little brother, if you are a novice, you have to admit it, don't pretend to be blind." If you don't understand some rules, you have to ask them quickly, it's not a shame. Don't pretend to understand it, it will kill people. ”

Wang Xiaotian was startled and said, "Is it so serious?"

Shopkeeper Qiu nodded and said, "It's so serious." This time it is in Xijing City, and no one dares to fake the letter you take, so I don't doubt your identity. In any other place, if you have the slightest mistake, you will definitely be interrogated first. If you dare to resist, you will be killed immediately. ”

Wang Xiaotian said weakly: "It's not so mysterious, right?"

Shopkeeper Qiu said with a straight face: "I'm not joking. ”

Wang Xiaotian shrunk his neck, suddenly changed his mind, and said, "That, I am indeed a novice." The first time I did this today, there were some things I didn't understand at all. Senior, can you teach me?"

Shopkeeper Qiu was in a good mood at the moment, took the letter into his arms, nodded and said, "If you don't understand anything, say it." ”

Wang Xiaotian said tentatively: "That, what is the dragon summoning talisman?

Shopkeeper Qiu nodded, "Yes." However, the dragon charm is not necessarily a letter. A token, a password, or a person can all become a dragon caller. ”

Wang Xiaotian continued to probe tentatively: "What kind of dragon is the dragon summoning talisman calling?"

"Hehe, it's naturally a hidden dragon. After the shopkeeper Qiu finished speaking, he suddenly became alert, and looked Wang Xiaotian up and down again, "How old are you?"

Wang Xiaotian didn't dare to hesitate and said, "Twenty." ”

The shopkeeper Qiu was full of suspicions. Because of the practice, the apparent age of the practitioner will be younger than the actual age. Many cultivators look like they are in their teens, but they may be in their thirties, or even in their forties or fifties.

Shopkeeper Qiu felt that Wang Xiaotian looked fifteen or sixteen years old, but his body had a strong glow, and his actual age might be twenty or thirty years old, or even older. There is no problem in joining the Inspectorate at this age.

If you are too young, for example, only fourteen or fifteen years old, you will definitely not be able to join the inspection court. This is because the Inspectorate does not recruit child laborers.

If Wang Xiaotian's actual age is twenty or thirty years old, after joining the inspection institute, he will undergo a series of training and pass a rigorous examination before he can officially take up his post. Then he should know a lot of basic information and won't ask for anything like a layman.

Therefore, at first, Shopkeeper Qiu did not doubt Wang Xiaotian's age. But the few questions asked by Wang Xiaotian were very out of tune, and he was completely a layman, which made him suspicious.

Wang Xiaotian also saw that Shopkeeper Qiu was suspicious of him, and hurriedly said, "The letter has been delivered, I should go back." ”

After speaking, he didn't wait for Shopkeeper Qiu to react, nodded as a greeting, turned around and left.

Shopkeeper Qiu looked at Wang Xiaotian's back, disappeared into the corner of the street, took out the letter again, read it carefully, sniffed the ink again, and said to himself: "That's right." But why do you always think that there is something wrong with this young man?"

The guy came over and said, "Team leader, are you here for a big job?"

Shopkeeper Qiu raised his hand to coax him away, "Go, go, you are not qualified to participate in the operation yet." Even if you have a big job, you don't have a share. I'll go out for a while, and you will keep me honest and look after the shop. ”

When the guy heard this, he immediately looked disappointed.

Wang Xiaotian left Tongde Street, walked through the streets and alleys, and rushed to Ye Jianjian's residence.

He hurried over, but he didn't meet Ye Zhanjian. After asking the landlord, I learned that Ye Jianjian had been on a business trip and had been gone for more than ten days.

Originally, he wanted to go to Guanyun Pavilion, but he was worried that he would be suspicious if he had been out for a long time. Therefore, Wang Xiaotian could only go back in frustration.

Passing by Li Kee's butcher shop, he didn't dare to forget to buy two catties of sauce meat, and they were all meat from the hips of a split-hoofed cow.

He believes that for his daughter slave Zhou Ziheng, Cao Lianyou's matter is a big deal no matter how small it is. He forgot to send the letter, and Zhou Ziheng scolded him at most.

If he forgot to buy sauce meat for Cao Lianyou, Zhou Ziheng would have to use a leather whip and dip it in salt water to whip him.

Wang Xiaotian returned to the small courtyard with the meat, only to see only Cao Lianyou in the courtyard, swinging on the swing frame, and couldn't see the figures of Zhou Ziheng and Shen Shuming.

"I'm back. Wang Xiaotian deliberately shouted loudly, wanting Zhou Ziheng to know that he came back on time.

Cao Lianyou smiled sweetly at him, "Brother Xiaotian is back, what are you carrying? ”

Wang Xiaotian put the meat bun on a few cases, "The sauce beef I bought for you is still warm, come and taste it." ”

Cao Lianyou immediately jumped off the swing and took two steps to the side of several cases. Wang Xiaotian pinched a piece of sliced sauce meat and handed it to Cao Lianyou's mouth.

Cao Lianyou ate it in one bite, chewing the beef vigorously, and kept chattering in her mouth, "It's delicious, it's delicious." Thank you, Brother Xiaotian. ”

Wang Xiaotian also pinched a piece and put it in his mouth to chew, looked left and right and asked, "Why didn't you see Master and them?"

Cao Lian chewed the meat and said laboriously: "The teacher said that there is something to do, go out." Uncle Shen practiced in the room. He said that he was about to break through a small realm, and he had to work hard in the next few days. ”

Wang Xiaotian was secretly disappointed. However, in front of Cao Lianyou, he didn't show it. He didn't want Cao Lianyou to know too much. Cao Lianyou is still a child, so there is no need to fall into the troubles of adults.

However, Cao Lianyou still saw that something was wrong with Wang Xiaotian. She hurriedly swallowed the meat in her mouth and asked, "Do you have something on your mind?"

Wang Xiaotian was slightly stunned, and hurriedly shook his head, "No." ”

Cao Lianyou looked at his insincere appearance, and became more determined in her heart, and said, "You must have something on your mind." Say it, and I might be able to help you. ”

"I'm fine. You don't have to worry about it. Wang Xiaotian said with a smile, and at the same time reached out and gently pinched Cao Lianyou's little nose.

Cao Lianyou hurriedly opened his hand, "Oh, take away your oil hand." Got my face dirty. You're still pinching my nose? I'm angry and ignore you. Hmph!"

Cao Lianyou took a large bag of beef, walked to the swing and sat down angrily, pinched the beef and stuffed it into her mouth.

If it was before, Wang Xiaotian would definitely hurry over when he saw Cao Lianyou playing a little temper, make faces, say good things, and make Cao Lianyou happy.

However, today he was full of worries, his mind was in a mess, and he didn't know what to do, so he didn't go over, but sat down and looked ahead with a confused look.

Cao Lianyou saw Wang Xiaotian with a listless look, and she was even more determined in her heart.

She walked over, sat next to Wang Xiaotian, pinched a piece of beef and handed it to Wang Xiaotian's mouth, "I'm not angry with you." For you to eat. ”

She watched Wang Xiaotian eat the beef, and then said, "If you have something on your mind, you might as well tell the teacher directly." The teacher's temper, I know it well. Although he himself likes to sell guanzi, he doesn't like others and sells guanzi to him. ”

Wang Xiaotian nodded slightly. Of course, he knows that Zhou Ziheng is a typical "only the governor is allowed to set fires, and the people are not allowed to light lamps", he likes others to guess his heart, but he doesn't like to guess other people's minds.

Cao Lianyou continued: "He looks very serious, but he is actually very soft-hearted, if you go directly to him, he will definitely agree to help you if his heart is soft." ”

Wang Xiaotian secretly thought, he is like this to you, and it is not easy to say it to others.

Seeing that Wang Xiaotian still didn't say anything, Cao Lianyou said, "Or, I'll help you and beg him?"

"Nope. Wang Xiaotian hurriedly stopped Cao Lianyou, he didn't want Cao Lianyou to be involved, "In a few days, I will have to go to Furong Academy, and the time to accompany you to practice swords will not be as abundant as it is now." Therefore, the most important thing for you now is to take care of your body quickly, and I will accompany you to practice swordsmanship. ”

Cao Lianyou was a little disappointed when he refused, but she still nodded and didn't continue. This is her cuteness, never stubborn, and never difficult to force.

She ate a few pieces of beef, drank saliva, rested for a while, and pestered Wang Xiaotian to accompany her to practice swords.

Although Wang Xiao was full of worries and fidgeting, he couldn't bear to refuse Cao Lianyou.

After practicing the sword with her, Wang Xiaotian's mood stabilized, and he was not as restless as he was just now.

When Zhou Ziheng came back, it was already dark. When he entered the house, he saw three people sitting at the dining table waiting for him, and the food on the table was already cold.

Zhou Ziheng was ashamed and said, "Oh, I'm just busy with work today, and I'm really sorry to let you starve with you." I deserve to be punished. I deserve to be punished. ”

Cao Lian pouted and said, "Hmph, how do you say to punish you?"

Shen Shuming got up and said, "I'll go and heat up the food." Discuss how to punish him. ”

Zhou Ziheng sat down, said to Cao Lianyou with a smile on his face: "How do you say to punish you?" ”
