In the crowd, Qin Yun looked at everything around him with a novel gaze.

Since he could remember, the farthest place he had ever been to was Dajing Town, and in Qin Yun's senses, the town with thousands of households was already very large and prosperous.

But standing on the dock outside the Thousand Tides City, he realized how narrow his vision was before, and the insights he gained from the book were far less shocking than what he saw with his own eyes!

The ship wharf here is dozens of times the size of Dajing Town, and thousands of sails compete on the vast river, and large ships full of goods and passengers dock here, and thousands of sailors and workers are busy in it.

The road leading to Qianchao City in the distance is full of people, and all kinds of carriages shuttle through it, fierce and powerful knights, imposing swordsmen, pot-bellied merchants, thieves and rat-eyed ruffians and ruffians are mixed!

Qin Yun, like those country boys who had just arrived in the big city, walked forward blankly with the flow of people.

However, unlike most well-informed boys, he is vigilant enough to keep an unfamiliar environment and hold his bags in his arms, so that some ill-intentioned guys have no chance to start.

In this long backpack was all his belongings - nearly a hundred taels of silver, a change of clothes, a Qinggang sword, and a dozen silver beads.

As Fang Wentian guessed, Qin Yun didn't know the origin and true value of these silver beads, otherwise he would definitely not take them out and give them away easily.

The sixteen silver beads were given to Qin Yun from where the red carp came from time to time after he swam and played with the red carp in the cold tank, and there were so many over time.

Qin Yun once showed the silver beads to Qin Yang, but Qin Yang couldn't see the calendar, he just said that the aura of these silver beads was very precious, so Qin Yun could keep them for future needs.

This time to participate in the Qin clan return to the sect selection, in the future, he will also worship the Sword Sect to learn the supreme sword, Qin Yun knows that the cost is definitely a lot, a hundred or two pieces of silver may not even be enough to live and eat, and the remaining fifteen silver beads are his last capital.

Therefore, Qin Yun will be extra careful, in case he is stolen by a thief, it will really be too late to cry.

Thousand Tides City is ahead!

Looking at the majestic city standing in front of him, looking up at the towering city wall that was a hundred feet high, Qin Yun had a feeling of suffocation - it was too big!

A long moat stretched in front of the city gate, Qin Yun walked across the wide suspension bridge with a hint of awe and apprehension, and entered the Thousand Tides City through the city cave under the watchful eyes of several heavily armed soldiers on both sides.

The prosperity of the city and the wharf are different, and you don't know how many people live in them. The stone-paved road is clean and tidy, and on both sides of the road are shops and restaurants with flags, pedestrians coming in and out, and the shouts of men soliciting customers come and go.

There are also beautiful and spicy big girls and little daughters-in-law passing by on the street, when they noticed Qin Yun with a stupid face and looking around, they boldly threw a hot wink, which made the young man blush, and then ran away with a smile.

All of this brought Qin Yun an incomparable sense of freshness.

But after the initial shock, he gradually got used to it.

After all, Qin Yun has a strong temperament in martial arts since he was a child, and has been painstakingly cultivated and taught by Qin Yang for more than ten years, which is completely different from the ignorant countrymen, and he will not be easily confused by the prosperous scene in front of him.

After wandering along the street for a long time, Qin Yun saw a weapon shop with swords hanging from the door of the house next to him, so he walked in.

The hundred-forged fine iron sword that Mu Tieyi gave him was damaged during the battle with the girl in the white skirt, and the Qinggang sword was not easy to take out to meet people, so he had no suitable weapon in his hand, and he wanted to buy a new one.

The weapon shop was not very large, and the walls on both sides were lined with many weapons, knives, guns, hammers, and axes, but the most common ones were swords.

There was a faint clanging sound coming from inside, presumably at the back of the shop.

The shopkeeper was a thin little old man, and when Qin Yun came in, he was receiving two guests who were buying swords.

Seeing Qin Yun, the old man greeted him diligently: "Guest, please look at it casually, if you need anything, just ask." ”

Qin Yun nodded and looked at it to himself.

There are a lot of swords on the shelves behind the counter, some long and some short, with a variety of styles, but with Qin Yun's eyes, it can also be seen that these swords are all ordinary colors, not to mention that compared with the Qinggang sword, even the destroyed fine iron sword is very inferior.

After looking at it for a while, Qin Yun pointed to one of the swords and asked, "Boss, how can this long sword be sold?"

The size and appearance of the sword he chose were similar to the hundred forged iron sword, this kind of long sword was the most common, and of course, the quality of the same sword could also be different.

The little old man on this side had just negotiated with the customer, and hurriedly turned his head to look at it and replied, "Guest, this ten-forged iron sword costs twenty-five taels of silver." ”

Twenty-five taels of silver! Qin Yun was taken aback.

He is not a person who does not know the price of firewood and rice, one tael of silver can buy dozens of catties of fine white rice in Dajing Town, and the beast skins he hunted in Yunwu Mountain are sold to the town, and each time it is only a few taels of silver at most.

Such a very inconspicuous iron sword actually cost twenty-five taels of silver, which was completely unexpected by Qin Yun.

Ten forged iron swords are so expensive, so how much is a hundred forged iron swords worth?

Thinking of this, Qin Yun's heart was dripping blood.

"Boss, can you get cheaper?" he asked hesitantly.

The little old man smiled and shook his head: "Guest, you may not know, my store is a century-old shop, and Tong Su has always been undeceived and never bargained. ”

As he spoke, the old man walked over and took down the long sword and put it in front of Qin Yun: "This ten-wrought iron sword is three feet and seven inches long, three fingers wide, and weighs six catties and three taels. ”

A hundred-year-old shop, the boss has seen all kinds of customers, I don't know how many, he has already refined a pair of sharp eyes, of course, he can see Qin Yun's general identity.

But as the so-called harmony makes money, the old man will definitely not despise Qin Yun because of his shyness, even if Qin Yun tries to bargain, he will not be angry, and still enthusiastically introduced.

But not everyone is the same as this old man, as soon as his words fell, someone next to him sneered: "A ten-wrought iron sword also has to bargain, if you don't have money, you still want to learn any sword, so it's better to go back to the countryside and farm early!"

The ridicule was a young man in his twenties, he was wearing a white robe with a gold ribbon around his waist, he looked handsome and arrogant, and his eyes were full of disdain when he looked at Qin Yun.

Next to the arrogant man, there was also a beautiful girl in a green dress, and the two of them also came to buy swords, but the long swords they bought were placed in a precious rosewood box, which was definitely worth a lot.

Qin Yun didn't seem to hear it, and said to the shopkeeper: "Thank you, boss, I want this sword, and please give me a scabbard." ”

If it was Qin Yun in the past, he would have to say goodbye to the other party, but after experiencing that huge change and knowing his life experience, he became much more mature overnight.

The young man's hot-blooded impulse is more precipitated in his heart.

"The scabbard is given away for free," the old man smiled slightly, and quickly took out a scabbard and put it on.

He didn't want to offend the guests, and he didn't want to see the two sides clash in his own store, hoping that Qin Yun would leave quickly.

Qin Yun nodded, took out the silver from his backpack, counted it and put it on the counter, picked up the matching iron sword and turned around and left.

"Boy, I'll talk to you!"

The arrogant man next to him suddenly became angry, in his opinion, Qin Yun's ignorance of himself was simply a naked humiliation, and he couldn't help but step forward and reach out to grab Qin Yun's shoulder.

The beautiful girl frowned, and said lightly: "Second Brother Qin, you better stop in moderation!"

As soon as she spoke, the arrogant man immediately retracted his hand.

The man was obviously very jealous of the beautiful girl, and sneered: "I was just joking with him"

"People didn't provoke you" The beautiful girl shook her head, but her eyes fell on Qin Yun, who had just stepped out of the threshold of the martial arts shop: "I'll go back first!"

The arrogant man hated it in his heart, he finally found an opportunity to ask the other party out, and he wanted to behave in front of the beauty, but he didn't expect to touch the ash of his nose.

He was extremely narrow-minded, and he didn't dare to spill his anger on the beautiful girl, but he hated Qin Yun.

Qin Yun really never dreamed that he would provoke an enemy so inexplicably.

Holding the iron sword he had just bought, he rushed to the Qin Clan's Sect Mansion.

The Qin family is a big family in Yanyun Prefecture, and it is also one of the famous families of the Great Yan Dynasty, the foundation of the family is in Guiyang County, and Qianchao City is the location of the clan.

However, in Qianchao City, the Qin family is not the only one, and the Wu family, the Fang family, and the Dugu family are four-legged.

Among them, the Wu clan is the old rival of the Qin clan, and there are frequent fights between the government and the opposition and the sect, and no one has completely suppressed the other party for hundreds of years, and the open and secret battles between each other have never been broken.

The Dugu clan is the weakest of the four families, and they all have marriages with the other three, so they are impartial and completely neutral.

The Fang clan is the most special, the Fang clan is loyal to the Yan clan of the Great Yan Imperial Family, and holds the power of the 50,000 Yanyun Iron Cavalry and the city guard stationed in Qianchao City, and his status is relatively transcendent.

These things were learned by Qin Yun through casual chats with sailors on merchant ships, these sailors often traveled back and forth to Thousand Tides City, and some of them had made their homes in the city, so they were more familiar with the situation in Thousand Tides City.

Qin Yun didn't have much interest in the grievances and battles between the four major families, and those things were too far away for him.

Of course, it's better to know a lot of things than to know nothing, otherwise it's not good to get into trouble in a mess.

After asking several passers-by and passing through nearly half of the Thousand Tide City, Qin Yun finally found the location of the Qin Clan's Sect Mansion.
