After eating, Xiao Xiang returned to the carriage angrily, and after sitting by the bonfire for a while, Shen Jing also got into the carriage and leaned on the frame to pretend to sleep.

After that, it was quiet and the night passed in a flash.

In the early morning of the second day, Shen was woken up by the cool mist of the morning.

After waking up, Shen Jing felt that his face was cold and cold, he wiped a handful on his face, and the cool morning dew in the morning was extremely refreshing.

It's still an old habit, and I practice swords when I have time.

It has been a long time since he broke through the middle stage of the Guiyuan Realm, and Shen Jing has already stabilized the realm, but the threshold of the late stage Shen Gu is not felt at all.

Shen Qian, who had practiced step by step, did not expect to be able to improve in a short period of time, because the purple qi of the purple qi realm was too slow to collect, and this was a water mill kung fu that could not be rushed.

After practicing a set of swordsmanship, his body became warm, and Xiao Xiang, who was sleeping in the carriage, also woke up at this time.

You can't even see a stream in the mountains and forests, so you use water from a water bag for washing.

After a night, Xiao Xiang was no longer angry, but she still didn't want to talk to Shen Jing.

After the preparation was completed, the two of them hurried off again.

Xiao Xiang didn't enter the carriage again, she chose to sit outside with Shen Jing.

The pillow post is not far from Zhijiang County, and Shen Guo drove a horse for about two hours to arrive at the gate of the county seat.

In fact, Shen Kuang smiled self-deprecatingly when he saw the county seat from afar, and remembered that after dealing with those people from the Aoki Gang, the two decided not to enter the city in the future, but the plan couldn't catch up with the changes.

For the sake of safety, Xiao Xiang not only changed her appearance, but also asked her to stay in the carriage and not come out.

Shen Guo himself was also a little more relaxed, and he also brought a small hat. The long sword and the burden were all stored in the carriage, and Shen Kuang only brought a wine bottle with him.

After a brief inspection, Shen Guo drove into Zhijiang County.

The city is not large, and the degree of prosperity is only about the same as that of Lechuan County.

After entering the city, Shen Kuang did not rush to find a place to live, in order to prevent being targeted again like the last time in Lechuan County, Shen Kuang deliberately went around the city, found the location of the yamen, and also went to the place where her husband did the work that the woman said on the pillow post said, the old residence.

The façade of the old dwelling looks huge, and there is a five-story pavilion facing the street, which is extremely magnificent.

However, after looking at it, Shen Jing couldn't see what kind of business this old residence was for a while.

The door of the old residence is open, but there is no small house outside the door to welcome guests, and there is no one inside from a distance, and it seems that business is bleak.

When Shen Kuang and Xiao Xiang talked about the old residence, Xiao Xiang in the carriage also opened a gap and looked at it.

She, like Shen Jing, couldn't see anything strange at all at a scribbled glance. However, Xiao Xiang knew that if what the woman said was true, then the forces behind the old residence were likely to be related to those people in Chaoping County, and it might even be the same people.

The two didn't pay much attention, just took a casual look at each and drove away.

At this moment, in a luxurious wing room on the fifth floor of the old residence, Cao Yangzheng, the commander of Zhijiang City County, was accompanying another young man in an ink-colored robe with a flattering face.

The young man's appearance is not outstanding, but the temperament of a high-ranking person makes people can't help but want to take a few more looks.

The young man picked up the wine glass and left the seat and slowly walked to the window, he condescendingly overlooked the whole picture of Zhijiang City, and said lightly: "Lord Cao, you can get used to doing business." ”

Although Cao Yang heard the sound of turmoil, he forced himself to calm down on the surface: "Fortunately, with the help of the son, the business is doing quite well." ”

The young man smiled when he heard this: "Lord Cao, don't be humble, now several places in Nanyang County belong to Zhijiang City."

Good. I have already told Wu Taishou that if there is a vacancy in the county in the future, you must be the first to take it, Lord Cao. ”

Hearing this, the original worries in Cao Yang's heart disappeared in an instant, and were replaced by indescribable joy.

"Thank you Childe for cultivating, thank you Childe for cultivating." He leaned over and thanked him.

The young man raised his hand slightly, signaling that Cao Yang didn't have to do this, and Cao Yang stopped talking, just stood aside and waited.

The young man stood in front of the window, smiling at the bustling pedestrians under the attic.

In the crowd, a horse-drawn carriage was slowly moving.

However, the young man just glanced at it twice and quickly withdrew his gaze, he suddenly turned to look at Cao Yang and said: "I came to Zhijiang City just temporarily, I want to meet Lord Cao, who has heard of the name for a long time, Lord Cao should not think that I am abrupt." ”

Cao Yang was quite surprised when he heard this, and then he hurriedly said: "It is my Cao Yang's blessing that Gongzi can appreciate the light and come to Zhijiang City, and it is also the blessing of the people of Zhijiang City, if Gongzi wants to come in the future, he can come at any time." ”

The young man laughed loudly when he heard this, and then sat back in his chair, and he said slowly: "I have to continue to travel later today, so I have to leave after eating this meal, Lord Cao has to work hard." ”

Cao Yang picked up the wine glass and said: "Cao Yang must live up to the high expectations of the son, and I wish the son a smooth journey." Childe, Cao Yang toasts you with a glass. ”

The young man smiled and raised his glass, then drank it all.

The young man came very suddenly, and even Cao Yang only knew about it a few hours ago.

After that, I prepared in a panic, and there was the scene we have today.

Although Cao Yang was also curious about the purpose of the young man's trip, he didn't ask, he didn't even want to know.

After drinking a glass of wine, the young man glanced at Cao Yang and smiled with satisfaction.

————

After driving past the old residence, Shen Guo walked around the city for a while, and finally found a good inn under the guidance of passers-by.

Although the size of the inn is not large, it is convenient to provide meals.

After getting off the carriage at the door of the inn, a young man who was not very old moved the carriage to the back of the inn for Shen Kuang, and another little girl of his age led Shen Kuang and the others into the inn.

The innkeeper is a husband and wife, and I think these two are their children.

At noon, it was time for dinner, and there were several tables of guests in the lobby of the inn.

When she was introduced by the little girl, the woman was making an abacus on the counter, and the middle-aged man with an honest appearance was carefully wiping the tables, chairs and benches.

After the little girl entered the door, she shouted, "Dad, my mother has a guest who wants to stay in the hotel." ”

When the honest man heard this, he stopped and walked over with a smile, and the man saw Shen Kuang holding a sword in his hand and dressed as a Jianghu person, so he said to his daughter: "Okay, dad is here to entertain them." ”

With that, the little girl went to the counter.

The man led the two of them to sit down and rest, and he asked: "What kind of room do the two guest officers want to live in, our inn has three kinds of rooms, and the prices are not the same." ”

Shen Guo said: "Bring us two rooms with the number of places, and we have to lean together." ”

Hearing this, the man smiled and said, "No problem." ”

After that, Shen Guo handed over the money on the counter and led them to the room.

The inn doesn't look big on the outside, but it has a lot on the inside.

After following the man all the way through the two courtyards, he arrived at the place where Shen Kuang's room was. It is a small courtyard with a small two-story attic on three sides.

The man led the two of them up to the second floor and handed over the keys to the innermost two rooms in the corridor to Shen Jing.

"Then I won't disturb the guests' rest, just go ahead and let me know if you need anything."

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

After the man left, Shen Jing and Xiao Xiang went back to their rooms.

After a while, Shen Guo left the room and said that he was going to eat, and let Xiao Xiang stay in the room for a while and send it to her, and Xiao Xiang also responded.

When he walked to the lobby of the inn, the young man who led the car for Shen Jing also returned.

Shen Guo thanked him, and then asked for a few simple foods.

Shen Guo didn't plan to ask for wine, because the gourd hadn't finished yet. However, the young man had been recommending his wine, so Shen Jing was also curious to ask for a pot, the price was not expensive, only one or two silver.

The young man's name is Zhongtai, which is also a rare surname.

I heard him say that his family's wine is called Lingchuan wine, and the taste is not bad.

The innkeeper's family of four people is happy, and they look enviable.

After Shen Guo ordered, the woman who had been planning the dishes on the counter put down her hand and went to the kitchen, thinking that the proprietress made it herself.

Shen Guo didn't wait long, and the four dishes were served one by one, and in the end, the young man also came over with Lingchuan wine.

Putting the wine down, Zhongtai smiled and said let Shen Guo eat and drink well.

After being immersed in this environment for a long time, Zhongtai has also come and gone and seen many people.

Most of the guests who will stay at the hotel are outsiders, and they are in a hurry and seem to be busy.

Some of the guests are close at first sight, while others don't seem to be easy to get along with.

For Nakaya, Shen naturally belongs to the former.

At this moment, there were no new guests in the inn, so Zhongtai and they rested.

The woman continued her calculations, and the little girl accompanied her.

And the idle man and Zhongtai chatted with Shen Guo for a few words.

Zhongtai's father's name was Zhonggu, and when he saw that Shen Jing only had one person coming down to eat, he accosted him and asked, "Why did Shaoxia come down to eat alone?" What about the girl with you? ”

Hearing this, Shen Guo first glanced at Zhong Gu, and then said, "She is tired after a long journey, so let me bring her the food back." ”

Nakaya nodded and smiled: "The girl's body is weak, it's like this." Look like Shaoxia doesn't look like us Zhijiang locals, he's from other counties? ”

Shen Jing nodded, but he didn't specify it.

Zhong Gu didn't ask, just smiled: "Are you planning to go to Qiyun Mountain?" ”

Hearing Zhong Gu talk about Qi Yun Mountain, Shen Jing was also curious: "Uncle Zhong also knows Qi Yun Mountain?" ”

Zhonggu smiled proudly: "The rivers and lakes are a grand event, I also went there when I was young. It's a pity that at that time, my cultivation was sparse and I couldn't compare to those geniuses, and I couldn't enter the small world of Huaijiang. ”

Listening to Zhonggu's meaning, he is also a person who practices martial arts, but the strange thing is that Shen Jing didn't feel any true qi fluctuations from him, and Shen Jing always thought that he was just an ordinary person.

Although he had doubts in his heart, Shen Jing didn't show it, and he responded with a smile: "I just went to join in the fun, and I didn't want to enter that small world." ”

Nakaya smiled: "It's a good thing for young people to walk more rivers and lakes, and when they get married and have children like me when they get older, they will be safe and stable, how beautiful." ”

Hearing this, Shen Guan glanced at the mother and daughter who were carefully settling accounts on the counter, and then said with a smile: "Uncle Zhong is really enviable. ”

Zhonggu smiled: "What is there to envy about this, now that there is no arrogance in the rivers and lakes, even old friends from before can rarely meet." But I envy you for being so young and able to ride the rivers and lakes. And Shaoxia, you are born with a good appearance, and you must be very attractive to girls. ”

After Nakaya said this, the woman on the counter, who had been bowing her head to settle the account, suddenly cast a cold gaze.

Nakaya immediately said stupidly: "I won't be like this." ”

Then he looked at Shen Jing and smiled, they were all men.
