The suburbs of Dongcheng City, Baishi County.

On top of a temple, two figures stood out of thin air, two monks, a man and a woman. The man is actually in a long knot, which can also be said to be Zhao Tianjun, and the woman is a graceful woman, with a black veil on her face, and she can't see her face clearly.

On that day, Changjie and Changzhi almost died in the self-explosion of the old Taoist priest Xiaoshi's realm, and finally the two escaped by relying on secret techniques. Tonight, Changjie and this woman appeared in Baishi County again, I don't know what happened.

"Uncle Shi, is the God King Fu really here?" The woman's voice was gentle and charming.

"If you don't believe me, why do you keep following me?" Long Knot with a smile on his face.

The woman sighed and said: "I also want to go freely, but the master's order is difficult to disobey, the old man of the blood devil asked me to help my uncle, although I know that my uncle's cultivation is to the sky, and I don't need me to get in the way, but I don't dare not follow, in case the uncle takes the baby and leaves, the blood devil is guilty, and I have nine lives that are not enough for him to kill." As he spoke, he laughed to himself.

"Then do you want to kill him?" Chang Jie's face was calm, "It's time for the Blood Demon Sect to change to a new sect master, and among his many apprentices, you can be of great use!" ”

This woman is the apprentice of the Blood Demon Son, ranked seventh, known as the "Wearing Flower Blood Butterfly", Flower Love Butterfly.

Hua Liandie said: "Uncle Shi said that I laughed, I don't have that much ability!" ”

"Then we'll get down to business!" As he spoke, the long knot flicked the sleeve robe, and dense copper coins flew out of the sleeve robe, there were thousands of them, and his hands were sealed.

"Buzz ......"

The copper coins flew in all directions with a dense sound of breaking wind.

In the temple, a monk opened the door in a daze, looked up at this scene, suddenly woke up, and shouted: "Ah......"

"What's the mess in the middle of the night?"

More and more monks woke up, and the lights were turned on in the room.

"Uncle Shi, you are busy first, I'll go and have some fun!" Hua Liandie nodded when she saw the long knot, and a flash appeared beside the monk, smiling brightly. The monk was startled, and before he could scream, Hua Liandie's slender jade hand was already on his head, "Brother monk, I'm not a monster, why did I scare you like this?" Gently spewing out a mouthful of fragrant heat, the monk's eyes became misty, and he laughed stupidly, as if he had lost his soul.

"Who?" There was a question from inside the house.

"It's me!" Hua Liandie twisted her waist and slowly walked into the room.

After a while, a terrible scream came from the room.

"Ah......h

……

A deserted alley in the east of Baishi County.

Zhao Xinyi packed up the spoils, burned the scholar to ashes with a fire, picked up the sleeping Yan Chen, and quickly returned to Ergou's house, feeling very complicated. In two consecutive life-and-death battles, not only did he not have any sense of exhaustion, but his cultivation skyrocketed, from the sixth layer of the Qi Refining Period to the ninth layer of the current Qi Refining Period, and his divine consciousness had reached the level of the eighth layer of the Foundation Building Period.

It's really ironic, there is a way that God rewards hard work, he is good, the spiritual veins are broken, no matter how diligent he is, his cultivation cannot grow, and now he is waiting for work, but his cultivation has skyrocketed. What's even more ironic is that he turned out to be the demon and monster he was determined to kill before! Life is really unpredictable!

"Could it be that I can only rely on this method to improve my cultivation in the future?"

There were thousands of thoughts in my heart, but there was no delay in the footsteps. Not long after, Zhao Xinyi came to Ergou's house, the courtyard door opened, and the room was in a mess, only the old yellow dog was lying on the bed and sleeping.

Zhao Xin didn't get angry, and directly slapped himself, and the corners of his mouth were bleeding with practical power. Lao Huang jumped up from the bed, saw Zhao Xinyi, gritted his teeth, and said angrily: "Boy, don't think that Lao Tzu won't dare to eat you!" Tell you, if you force Lao Tzu to be anxious, Lao Tzu will swallow you in one bite! ”

"I can't ask for it!" Zhao Xinyi is neither humble nor arrogant, "I'm in a hurry, Lao Tzu doesn't need you to do it, there are ways to commit suicide!" ”

The old yellow dog was immediately angry with him and had internal injuries, and he was really afraid that he would not think about harming his untimely death, seeing Zhao Xinyi looking around, he snorted coldly, and found a step for himself, and said: "No need to look for it, that kid was arrested by that group of officials!" ”

Zhao Xinyi said angrily: "Why didn't you save him?" ”

"It's so arrogant!" Lao Huang almost spurted blood, and said angrily: "There is a very powerful character in the east of the city, if he finds out, neither of us will want to live!" ”

"Coward! Where did the second dog go? ”

A small human dared to call himself a coward, Lao Huang was so angry that his eyes were scarlet, and he flew up and pounced, Zhao Xinyi hurriedly ran away, running wildly on the street with one person and one dog, Yan Chen was still unconscious on Zhao Xinyi's back, and he was completely ignorant of the current scene. Lao Huang didn't plan to really do anything to Zhao Xinyi, so he ran wildly.

After a short time, the two of them and a dog settled in a small inn called "Sanshun" in the northwest of the city. As soon as Zhao Xin put Yan Chen on the bed, she suddenly woke up, at first she thought that she had died with Zhao Xinyi, and the latter took a lot of time to explain to her what happened - most of them were made up by him, saying that the scholar was about to kill them, and suddenly the old disease attacked, revealing flaws, and he seized the opportunity to hurriedly use a trick "Heavenly Thunder and Earth Fire" to burn him to the point that there was no slag left.

Yan Chen was suspicious, and it took a while to calm down, and suddenly thought of the skin-to-skin relationship with Zhao Xinyi before, and couldn't help but blush, suddenly attacked, and wanted to slap Zhao Xinyi, the latter dodged while opening his mouth: "Crazy girl, I'm also your life-saving benefactor now, don't say it's okay to repay the favor, but also to take revenge, it's too much!" ”

She snorted coldly and continued to chase.

Zhao Xinyi said anxiously: "I don't have time to mess with you now, Ergou has been arrested, and his life may be in danger, I will save him!" ”

Yan Chenbei clenched his teeth and hesitated slightly: "I'll go too!" ”

"No way!" Zhao Xinyi decisively refused, "You will only drag me back!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Yan Chen was even more annoyed, and chased after Zhao Xinyi even more. Zhao Xin had nowhere to hide, so he had to jump into the alley through the window, Yan Chen was willing to let him go easily and continue to chase him. As soon as he ran a few steps, he suddenly stopped, Yan Chen thought that he was finally restrained, and was about to beat him up, but he heard him say softly: "Be careful, another monk is coming!" ”

Since sucking the scholar dry, Zhao Xinyi felt that his divine sense had become much stronger, and his six senses had become extremely sharp. Yan Chen didn't believe it very much, but he didn't rush to make a move. Zhao Xinyi said loudly: "Since you're here, let's show up!" ”

As soon as the words fell, a black-clothed man wearing a hood appeared from the entrance of the alley, only to see his hood hanging down several layers of black veils, covering the entire head tightly, not distinguishing his appearance, but looking at his figure, the tiger's back and bear's waist, it should be a man.

Zhao Xinyi said vigilantly: "May I ask who your Excellency is?" Is it the wrong person? ”

Yan Chen drew his sword and scolded angrily: "What kind of hero is Cover-up!" ”

The hood stared at Yan Chen's sword and said, "Dare to ask what the girl has to do with the Flying Dragon Academy's Splitting Mountain Sword Ning Shuangqiu?" ”

Yan Chen frowned and thought about it, and said, "You mean that sissy long beard?" ”

The hood was stunned for a moment, and hesitated: "Yes." ”

"According to the seniority, I am my senior brother!"

The hat was stunned again, and exclaimed: "Who are you at the head of the courtyard today?" ”

"My Master!" Yan Chen is rightfully authentic.

The hat was even more shocked, and looked Yan Chen up and down again, and said respectfully: "How offended, I hope Your Excellency Haihan!" After a pause, "I don't know if the things of the Qian Mansion can be in your hands?" It's too sinister, and it's a curse to keep in your hands! If it's really in your hands, it's better to hand it over to me as soon as possible! ”

Yan Chen said: "I don't understand what you're talking about at all!" ”

The hat was silent for a while, pointed at Zhao Xinyi, and said, "But in his hands?" ”

Yan Chen pointed at Zhao Xin: "If the thing you are talking about is silver, jewelry, or something of value, it must be in the hands of this little liar!" ”

Zhao Xinyi didn't intervene, only silently speculated about where this person came from, and how to deal with it if there was a fight later.

The hat hand was raised, and he took off his hat, which was a sturdy middle-aged man wearing a small crown and a beard, around forty years old, and said: "It's not a secret, it's Long Tian who is the inspector, Li Kuiwei." ”

Zhao Xinyi was secretly surprised, according to the matter of the impeachment of the criminal name of the provincial envoy, the official position of the third grade, in a province, was only half a grade lower than the political envoy, stomped his feet, and the whole Long Tian had to tremble, and he was still a monk.

"It is said that Long Tian has a monk in the foundation building period according to the inspection envoy, but I didn't expect it to be the envoy himself!" Yan Chen opened his mouth and said, "My lord has hidden it deep enough over the years!" ”

Li Kuiwei's eyes lit up, the thoughts in his heart were confirmed again, and he leaned over to bow down to Yan Chen, the latter waved his hand and gave him a look, he had been immersed in officialdom for many years, so he naturally understood immediately.

"I wonder what Master Li is looking for?" Yan Chen's tone was a little more polite.

Li Kui glanced left and right, and said respectfully: "Let's talk in a different place!" ”

Yan Chen nodded in satisfaction, and then took Li Kuiwei to Zhao Xinyi's house.

Li Kuiwei continued the previous words: "What I want to find next is Sanjiangwei's fish scale atlas!" ”

Zhao Xinyi suddenly realized, and said in his heart: "After a long time, what they are looking for is such an atlas!" ”

Yan Chen was puzzled: "Then you should go directly to Sanjiangwei to find it, why did you come here to find it?" ”

"This ......" Li Kuiwei looked at Zhao Xinyi.

Zhao Xinyi: "If you don't want me to listen, then you go out to talk!" So saying, he walked to the edge of the bed and lay down.

Yan Chen's eyes glared: "You go out!" ”

Zhao Xinyi rolled his eyes, and although he was dissatisfied, he still walked out.

Seeing Zhao Xin go out, Li Kuiwei took out a jade plate from his arms, the size of a palm, engraved with a magic circle, it was a small array plate, pinched with both hands, the array disk flew up, hovered in mid-air, buzzed and rotated, and the soft blue light poured down, covering the entire room. After doing this, Li Kui hurriedly knelt down and saluted, and said in a low voice: "Xiaguan to meet the princess!" ”

Yan Chen said: "Lord Li doesn't have to be polite! ”

The two exchanged a few words, Yan Chen explained his intentions, got back to business, and asked about the fish scale atlas again, and Li Kuiwei told about it.

It turned out that the previous emperor of the Northern Yan Dynasty, the Emperor Wuwu, was greedy for pleasure and ignored national affairs, and Yan Qing, the first assistant of the cabinet, controlled the government and government, greedy for money, nepotism, and even more greedy for ink, colluding with officials and businessmen, embezzling people's land, and putting their hands on it, resulting in the collapse of the tax system.

Even the strangers are empty, and there is no home for the cone. That is to say, the large government and businessmen have thousands of hectares of fertile land, but they are all "hidden fields" that do not pay taxes, while the poor people who have no land have to bear almost all the taxes. The people were miserable, but the taxes collected by Beiyan were getting smaller and smaller year by year, and the treasury was empty.

The current Hongyuan Emperor of Northern Yan has the intention to reorganize the tax system, but freezing a thousand feet is not a day's cold, and many places have been operating for many years, and they have become an iron bucket. Although he is an emperor, he is also subject to checks and balances from all sides, and if he wants to achieve it overnight, he must not succeed. Take the current Long Tian as an example, Long Tian's administrative officials and garrison generals have been in collusion, operating for many years, collecting taxes indiscriminately, and also embezzling the garrison's tuntian, resulting in many military households having no land to cultivate, no food to eat, and many of them have escaped, becoming rogues and causing chaos everywhere.

Emperor Hongyuan had the intention to govern, and the King of Baihan, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Imperial Envoy made many secret visits, but they all failed to work, and it was really an iron bucket. However, now the secret agent has spread the news that Qian Lingwu and Hong Zhi are fighting in the nest, and Qian Lingwu has stolen Sanjiangwei's fish scale atlas, which is just an opportunity.

Yan Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said in his heart: "It turns out that my father and emperor know!" I didn't expect my father to have so many difficulties! Raising his head, he said to Li Kuiwei: "Then why don't you go directly to Qian Lingwu and ask him where the things are?" ”

Li Kuiwei shook his head and said: "The princess doesn't know, first, no one knows whether Qian Lingwu has an atlas in his hand, in fact, it is all speculation, which is also the reason why Hong Zhiyu and his party did not completely tear their faces and directly threatened Qian Lingwu with open knives and guns. Second, Hong Zhiyu also has three or four monks in the foundation building period, and they have already secretly shown Qian Lingwu an impenetrable one, and we are not easy to do at all! ”

"So, the so-called haunting of the money house is also their doing?" Yan Chen thought thoughtfully, "In order to search the money house openly?" ”

"It must have nothing to do with them! It's just that I don't know who has such a great ability? As far as I know, those people under Hong Zhiyu don't have this ability! Li Kuiwei's brows furrowed.

"The most important thing right now is to enter the money house and find out!"

"What the princess said is very true!" Li Kuiwei's face was embarrassed, "It's just that there are monks in the Qian Mansion right now, and there are Jiang Shoujing's people in the open, so we can't get involved at all!" ”

Yan Chenwang rolled his eyes and said, "Master Li, I'll leave this to me!" ”

"Princess, never!" Li Kuiwei spoke out to stop him, "That Qian Mansion has now ambushed two monks in the foundation building period, it is really too dangerous!" ”

Yan Chen smiled and said, "Master Li, don't worry, I used the secret technique to hide my cultivation, and I followed that little liar to get in, and they won't be able to detect the abnormality!" ”

"But ......"

"You are in the dark, we are in the light, act at the opportunity, so decided!" Yan Chen made a domineering decision.

"Princess, this matter is not trivial, is that kid reliable?" Li Kuiwei's eyes flickered with a cold light.

Yan Chen's expression suddenly became a little more complicated, and after a little hesitation, he said, "Reliable!" ”
