Under the guidance of the guards, Chu Yan came to a pavilion in a separate courtyard and sat down, and when he saw that the scenery here was excellent, his mood was much smoother. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The strange flowers and plants that can be seen everywhere are in full bloom, and there are a lot of elixirs in them. A wisp of clear water flows out of the stone crevice of the rockery, flows to the lotus pond opposite, and among the purple bamboo not far away, there is a small wooden house, looming in the breeze, like a fairyland on earth.

What a chic place......

Although he had been here once, the scenery around him still made Chu Yan full of praise, and at this moment, the lone shadow suddenly became agitated, and at the same time, he also knew that the rain was coming gently.

"Gongzi Chu came from afar, but the little woman couldn't meet him from afar, and she hoped that Gongzi Chu would forgive her sins. Yu Qingrou was still wearing a long white dress, with white sand on her face, revealing only a pair of eyes, full of infinite tenderness.

"The city lord is polite, and he came uninvited, and I hope the city lord will not be surprised. Although he couldn't see her appearance, Chu Yan could feel it several times that behind the white veil, there was a peerless face hidden.

The two sat in the pavilion, and the servants quickly brought food and a pot of wine, and then left very quickly, and only the two of them were left in the courtyard.

Chu Yan stood up and gave a deep salute: "Today, I specially came to the door to thank you, thank you to the city lord for coming to the rescue." ”

As he spoke, he casually took out a jar of wine and put it on the stone table: "This is a little bit of heart, and I hope the city lord will accept it with a smile." ”

"Young Master Chu is really generous. Seeing this, Yu teased softly, although he said so, but he was very happy in his heart.

"City Lord......" Chu Yan didn't care, and filled the wine glass: "Thank you so much for what happened last time, I don't know if the Gu family has trouble with you?"

"It's just a small role that doesn't help itself, and it's not a problem. ”

Qing Yurou said lightly, and then looked at Chu Yan: "Young Master Chu came here this time, I believe it is not just to thank the little girl, right?"

"I really can't hide anything from the city lord's discerning eyes. Chu Yan smiled awkwardly and said the purpose of this trip.

Hearing this, Yu was softly stunned, and then said sympathetically: "That little woman can only hope that Chu Gongzi will ask for more blessings, that place in Jincheng is not simple." ”

"It seems that the city lord knows a lot about it, I wonder if I can talk to you?"

"Okay. Shaoqing, Yu nodded softly: "The area of Jincheng is very large, even compared with Cloud City, and Nameless City, I am afraid it is not much better, in Jincheng, the strength of the Xiahou family is the strongest, even the nearby sects, it depends on their faces, and they seem to have some dealings with the Gu family, Chu Gongzi can be regarded as a fierce and auspicious person this time." ”

After listening, Chu Yan nodded secretly, totaling this Xiahou family, it should be the head of the Gu family's underground forces in Jincheng.

"This is a token unique to my Nameless City, please keep it for Young Master Chu. ”

Knowing that Chu Yan was already determined to go to Jincheng, Yu gently took a jade plate and handed it over: "If you encounter any danger there, Gongzi Chu can send someone to come to me directly with this jade card, I hope I can help you." ”

"Thank you, City Lord. Putting away the jade plaque, Chu Yan really couldn't understand why Yu was helping softly.

Last time, he saved his life in the nameless city, but this is also in the past, after all, it is in her territory, and Murong Fei is the second-in-command of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion, if the pavilion master's eldest brother dies, I am afraid that it will not be easy to explain the rain lightly, and it is human nature to come to the rescue.

But now when he knew that Chu Yan was going to Jincheng, which was surging and dangerous, and took the initiative to help, he really couldn't understand what the purpose of the rain was gentle.

"City Lord, you and I are also Pingshui met, I don't know why I helped each other three times and twice, if the city lord needs my help, please do your best. ”

As soon as these words came out, Yu chuckled softly, watching Chu Yan's eyes become more and more tender, but it was very complicated, as if behind those eyes, there was an indescribable helplessness and desolation.

The two chatted for a while, Chu Yan got up and said goodbye, watching his back get farther and farther away, and finally disappeared, and the rain standing at the door was a little distracted for a while, not knowing what he was thinking.

Back at the inn, Chu Yan sat alone in the room, looking at the lone shadow in his hand in a daze.

Why does the lone shadow become restless when it sees the gentle rain, as if it senses something?

He really didn't understand the reason for this, he had seen the rain softly four or five times, and every time he saw her, Lone Shadow reacted, which was really incomprehensible.

I don't know if the same thing happened with the magic weapon in her hand......

After a long time, such a thought suddenly popped up in Chu Yan's mind, but then he smiled again and cultivated silently.

The next morning, the four of them bought a carriage in the city, left the five horses at the inn, and then took out a bag of gold coins and gave it to the shopkeeper, and bothered him to watch it for a few days.

This is what Chu Yan planned early on, first leaving the team behind, and then the only son came to the nameless city, then dressed up, and then went to Jincheng to have a look, so he had a plan in his heart.

The carriage had slowly left the city gate, and Yu had been standing on the city gate tower gently, with a hint of tenderness flashing in her eyes.

The distance of three or four hundred miles is only a small meaning for the Wind Horned Beast, but for this broken carriage, it is the distance from the ends of the world.

But there is no way to do this, it is really that the carriage is too dazzling, if it is driven directly into the city, I believe it will not be long before it will be targeted.

"Little master, there's a town ahead, let's go there and stay for one night, right?"

In the evening, seeing the barren mountains and mountains all around, Tu Guang was a little worried about the danger he would encounter when he hurried overnight, and the speed of the carriage was too slow, and he also felt a little tired.

"Okay...... We'll stay overnight and leave tomorrow morning. ”

The carriage slowly walked into the city, and the ground was covered with a thick layer of loess, which had been dried and hardened for a long time, cracking dense cracks.

There are very few pedestrians on the street, and occasionally I see a few, but they are also sloppy in clothes and shoes, and their eyes are blank, as if they have been numbed by the burden of life.

The shops on both sides of the street are dilapidated and swaying listlessly in the wind, as if to tell the desolation and misery of the town.

What surprised Chu Yan and the others the most was the beggars on both sides of the street, there were many of them, most of them were women, children and old people, with their crippled bodies and their heads scattered, covering most of their dirty faces, and when they saw someone passing by, they hurriedly retreated back, their bodies curled together, and they secretly glanced at them from time to time, looking very scared.

Looking at the scene in front of them, the group frowned, stunned by all this.

They really didn't expect that this place would be so depressed, even if it was a border town in the Fighting Spirit Continent, it would be ten or a hundred times stronger than here.

At least the people there can have a mouthful of coarse tea and light rice in their mouths, and a green tile above their heads can shelter them from the wind and rain.

"Get up, stay away, don't hinder Lao Tzu in business......"

A few people followed the sound, and saw the man from an inn come out and chase away the beggar near the door, his eyes full of disdain and disgust.

It was a middle-aged woman with a little girl of six or seven years old in her arms.

I saw that she glanced at the guy in fear, and hurriedly got up and wanted to leave, but she hadn't eaten for a few days, and she fell to the ground immediately as soon as she stood up.

The man was very angry and kicked the woman's body: "You don't pretend to be pitiful here, hurry up and get away, or I will kill you." ”

The woman took the little girl in her arms and struggled to get up, but failed several times, and finally had to crawl to a nearby alley.

But the guy in the inn still didn't give up, and chased after him and kicked again: "Damn beggar, what are you rubbing here, it's so fucking unlucky, don't hurry up and get out." ”

Looking at this scene, Tu Guang really couldn't bear it, but unexpectedly, someone was one step ahead of him and had already rushed over.

A bright figure came to the buddy in the blink of an eye, and slapped him in the face.

The power of this slap was extremely great, and the unlucky guy didn't understand what was going on, so he flew out diagonally, struggling three or four times before he got up dizzily, and the corners of his mouth were bleeding.

"Okay, you stinky, you dare to beat me, Lao Tzu fought with you......"

Seeing that it was just a little girl, the man was immediately furious, picked up a big rock from the side of the road, and rushed up.

Tu Guang also used Chu Yan's orders there, hurriedly blocked in front of Chang Zai, and looked at the guys who rushed over angrily, his eyes flashed with a trace of killing intent.

"Stop......"

At this time, a middle-aged man in his thirties came out of the inn, wearing a gray gown, with a beautiful face, and he looked a little bookish.

"Shopkeepers, they ...... They beat people. The guy covered his face, aggrieved to death.

"Shut up......" The man glared at him: "It must be that you are arrogant and domineering, and you bully these poor people, and people can't look past it before they stop it, right?"

"I ......"

The man tried to defend something, but the man didn't give him this chance, and directly threw him inside to work.

It made a few distinguished guests smile. At this time, the middle-aged man arched his hand with a smile: "Here is the owner of this inn, surnamed Guo, everyone here calls me Guo Shopkeeper, the guy in the store just now is not sensible, what is offended, I hope you will bear with me." ”

"It turned out to be the shopkeeper Guo, disrespectful and disrespectful. Tu Guang also smiled and stepped forward: "Just now my sister couldn't see it, so I stopped it, and I hope that Shopkeeper Guo won't be surprised." ”

"Where is there, there is no way to discipline underneath. ”

As he spoke, Shopkeeper Guo smiled, and then glanced at them: "Look at the dress, a few people who don't look like they are guarding the city, I don't know if there is a noble cadre here?"

"We came from somewhere else and were passing through here to get a night's rest. "Tu Guang is an old Jianghu after all, and he will not reveal his identity easily. (To be continued.) )
