Chapter 19: Passing by
"Wait!"
A crisp shout came from behind Shen Jing, and they who had already planned to set off were once again blocked by the officers and soldiers who were investigating, and one of the several soldiers had already run quickly to the rear when he heard the sound.
Shen Jing also turned to look, and was surprised to find that the person who spoke was none other than the little Tiansi who had a relationship with him last night. At this time, she was still dressed in the official uniform she wore last night, but there were a few more people following behind her today, and she was asking the officer and soldier who had just run over about something.
A moment later, a sound of footsteps came from behind, and the little Tenji had already walked to Shen Qian's carriage with his men. When he saw Shen Jing, his brows furrowed slightly, and he looked at him like he did last night, and then asked, "What's the matter with going out of the city?" โ
"Go out of the city with your teacher to collect medicine." Shen Jing's answer was very calm, without the slightest nervousness.
She looked at it for a while, but found nothing strange, and then turned her head to look at the officer and asked, "Have you checked it all?" โ
"Back to the adult, the villain has been checked inside and out, and everything is normal."
"Then let it go." She waved her hand at several officers and soldiers in front of her.
A few people in front of him received the order, and immediately gave way to a road, Shen Guan didn't say much when he saw this, pulled the reins, and shouted in a low voice: "Drive~!" Then he pulled his horse away from his hooves, and in a short time he went out of the city gate.
Song Wan's eyes were still looking at the back of the carriage in the distance, not knowing what he was thinking. The feeling that the young man gave her was very different, she had this feeling since she saw it for the first time last night, it was a kind of indescribable ethereal, Song Wan always felt that that feeling should not appear in a young man.
After a moment, she turned to the soldiers defending the city and asked, "Do you know who that man's master is?" โ
"Back to the adults, the young man who drove said that they were people in the city without alcohol?"
"No alcohol?"
"Yes, my lord! The restaurant without alcohol is an old man with a strange temper, I heard that he knows some medical skills, and he is also a little famous in the Chengyi Fang, but because of his strange temper, there are very few diners or patients who go to the clinic on weekdays. โ
"Do you know the old man's name?"
The officer and soldier who answered was about to shake his head and say that he didn't know, but another person standing beside him who was bowing down like him tugged at his sleeve.
"You say." Song Wan looked at the eager officer and soldier and said.
"Back to the adult, the little one has eaten a few times in his inn, and I heard the people around him who are familiar with him call him Old Man Han. It's not clear what the villain's real name is. โ
After the man finished speaking, Song Wan did not continue to ask any more questions, but pondered for a long time. One of the people standing behind her waved his hand at the officers and soldiers: "Continue to investigate, keep an eye on me." โ
In the distance, there was only a small black dot left in the carriage driven by Shen Jing, Song Wan looked up again, and finally felt that it was her illusion, and then left with a few of his subordinates.
In fact, she thought that most of the suspects she was chasing were dead. The other party was stabbed by her and slapped by her several times, and there was almost no chance of survival. But since last night, nothing has been found except for the bloodstain. The Prison Heaven Division has always wanted to see people alive and corpses when dead, so even if the possibility of death is extremely high, they can't rule out the possibility of being escaped by the other party.
For the encounter with the young man last night and today, Song Wan actually had an indescribable strange feeling in her heart, from the momentum of the young man, she could feel that the other party's cultivation was on par with her, she didn't have too many doubts last night, after all, the rivers and lakes are very big, and there are many geniuses. But when I met again today and found out that he was just a disciple of an unknown healer, such doubts became more and more numerous.
However, everything was fine on the surface, so she had no reason to do anything to the other party, so she left the city gate with questions.
The people in the city have obviously felt the solemn atmosphere that pervades the city today, whether it is more patrolling soldiers than usual or the wanted notices that can be seen everywhere on the streets, all of which represent something big happening in the city in autumn. There are fewer pedestrians on the streets, and even the hawkers are not as loud and crisp as they used to be.
Most ordinary people can only feel the difference, but for the Jianghu guests in Qiuluo City, the sentence "the remnants of the East China Sea twenty years ago" on the wanted text can be seen to their shock. So far, they still don't quite understand the cause of the massacre in the East China Sea twenty years ago, but this time it is a resurgence of smoke, and it is obvious that the imperial court is treating those families in the East China Sea with the determination to kill, so even after so many years, they still have not let go.
There was a lot of discussion in the city because of this, and even the previous speculations about the actions of the imperial court back then were re-introduced, but whether it was immortality or peerless martial arts, the insatiable face of the imperial court had been seen clearly. Of course, most of these conversations can only be talked about behind the scenes, after all, the group of people in the Heavenly Prison Division are everywhere, and it is not worth it if the disaster comes out of their mouths.
Autumn Fall City, General's Mansion.
In the main hall of the General's Mansion, two middle-aged people were sitting there at this time, with a cup of tea on the small table in front of them, and the white heat was constantly floating up from the cup, shining in the sunlight.
Of the two of them, one of them is naturally the Great Wei General Dugu Chong. The other, dressed in red, had a flying fish coiled around his chest. The flying fish on this person's chest is very similar to Song Wan's, but the difference is also obvious, whether it is the preciousness of the materials or the posture of the flying fish, which is higher than Song Wan's.
The flying fish is actually not a fish, and its appearance is more similar to a python, so there is a distinct python-like statement, and it is not a python. The flying fish has two horns, which are called flying fish patterns. Therefore, the flying fish can be simply understood as a kind of python, which is based on the shape of the fish, and the fins and tails of the fish are changed into the shape of the python, so others give the name flying fish.
Nan Qiao was also in the hall at this time, and she was called by her father, saying that she was visiting the adults from the court. Her six sisters are either married and not at home, or they are still in the boudoir but have a marriage contract, and they are not suitable to show their heads, so this kind of thing falls on her. She had also heard of the red-clothed man above, one of the five great heavenly divisions of the Heavenly Division, who seemed to be called Fu Nianzhi.
Song Wan had just come in from outside the door, and he hadn't sat down yet, but he was just standing behind the man in red. On this occasion, several of her subordinates were not qualified to come in. After entering the door, she first leaned over and whispered a few words to the man in red, and then stood quietly to the side and stopped talking.
"Lord Fu, but what's the news?" Dugu Chong, who was on the side, took the lead in asking after seeing Song Wan's whispering movements.
Fu Nianzhi took a sip of tea unhurriedly, and slowly replied, "Not yet, but I just found some clues." But is there any news about General Dugu's manpower? โ
"Hehehe, Lord Fu laughed. Compared with the ability to handle cases, my general's mansion and the yamen of Qiuluo City can't compare with the Prison Heaven Division. The only information I have received so far is that most of the suspects are still in the Chengyifang area. Since all her comrades are in ambush, it is only a matter of time before she is caught. Lord Fu, you might as well taste my tea today. โ
"Hehe, General Dugu laughed. Since we were ordered by the emperor to pursue and suppress the Qin criminals, we did not dare to relax until we completed the task. General's tea, I'll drink it next time! As he spoke, Fu Nianzhi got up and prepared to leave.
Seeing this, Dugu Chong also put down the teacup in his hand and got up to send it off. Both of them have a smile on the corner of their mouths, and the etiquette is perfect in the eyes of outsiders.
"Lord Fu, go slowly!"
"General, farewell!"
After Fu Nianzhi and Song Wan left the hall, several other people from the Heavenly Division who were waiting outside also followed directly. Looking at the backs of the group of people who had gradually faded away, after a while, Nan Qiao finally asked: "Dad, twenty years ago, why did the imperial court want to kill those families in the East China Sea?" โ
"That incident, the court did it very secretly, and the specific reason is not clear. This matter is put aside for the time being, and catching the suspect is something that they should worry about. But you're a girl, and you've been competing with others recently? โ
Hearing his father's words, Nan Qiao unconsciously thought of Shen Qian's harmless smiling face.
"What, lost?" Seeing that his daughter didn't answer, Dugu Chong said with a smile.
Nan Qiao nodded and then said slowly: "That person is very powerful. โ
"Listen to your Uncle Liang, or the disciple of the former Sword God? Is it true? โ
"It's true."
"What does your master say about that man?"
"The master said that he was a powerful young man, and he was excellent in both swordsmanship and heart. That is, there is a bad master. โ
"Hahaha, what do you think about him asking your master for marriage? You girl is also at the age of getting married, although I haven't seen that young man, but listening to your Uncle Liang's description, he should be a good child, and Li Chengren is also a first-class good player in the rivers and lakes, but he can also be regarded as a good match. I think it's okay. After speaking, he looked at Nan Qiao on the side.
For Nan Qiao, who just wants to break through, she really has no interest in getting married. As for Shen Qian, she wanted to defeat him more and save face from the two defeats at his hands, so she thought for a moment and said hatefully: "It depends on whether he has the ability!" Unless he dares to fight with me in an honest manner and win, I will talk about it, otherwise why marry me. โ
Nan Qiao's words were very imposing, and Dugu Chong looked at his daughter with satisfaction, and then laughed. "Martial arts competition, this method, I think it's okay, the next time I see that kid, I'll do it."
After saying that, he walked away with a smile. Nan Qiao, who had just come back to his senses, was left with a crimson face.

The twilight is far away, where is the world; Say goodbye to the long pavilion, don't forget to look back. There is a long pavilion about ten miles outside the autumn falling city, which is a famous farewell place.
The carriage driven by Shen Guo is now parked outside the long pavilion, and Su Yao has been carried out by him and put it in the carriage again, and the car is covered with a soft quilt, so it can form protection for her who has to travel a long way in the future.
Senior Han and Shi Yu had already gotten out of the carriage and gave instructions before parting. The afternoon breeze was mixed with warmth, and it was blowing the hems of several people's clothes.
"Senior, Shi Yu, then we'll go first. There will be a period later! โ
"Boy, take good care of that girl doll!"
"Got it, Senpai."
"Brother Shen." Shi Yu looked at Shen Jing with red eyes and shouted.
Shen Guan was also a little reluctant, touched Shi Yu's hair, and said softly: "Big brother, next time I come, I'll bring you good things." โ
Outside the long pavilion, on the side of the ancient road, the young man drove the carriage slowly into the distance!
