After a long journey of more than ten days, Jiang Fan finally arrived in Ziyang City.

A majestic and magnificent city is displayed in front of you, and the city gate is engraved with three majestic words - "Ziyang City". On either side stood soldiers in heavy armor and armed with halberds.

"It doesn't look far away on the map, but I didn't expect it to take so much time and effort." Jiang Fan glanced at the map in his hand, sighed lightly, and put it in his bag.

Recalling the maps and horses he had exchanged for herbs in Qingshi Town before, Jiang Fan shook his head helplessly and sighed: "It seems that cultivation also needs financial support, and if you don't have enough money, it is really difficult to move." After entering the city, it is better to prepare some silver taels in case you need them. ”

At this moment, Jiang Fan had already decided that after entering the city, he would look for an auction house and exchange the low-grade pills in his hand for some silver taels. After all, without enough money, he wouldn't be able to buy those precious spell cheats and artifacts.

Perhaps because Ziyang City was relatively calm during this time, the inspection of the soldiers at the city gate was not strict, but he simply inquired about Jiang Fan's situation and let him go.

On the way to Ziyang City, Jiang Fan also deliberately fabricated an identity to cover himself, claiming to be the son of a medicine merchant family and coming to Ziyang City to find distant relatives and elders.

As soon as Jiang Fan stepped into the city gate, he was attracted by the prosperous scene in the city.

On the bustling streets, the flow of people is like weaving, the floats are full of loads, and it is very lively. In the market where merchants gather, a dazzling array of goods attracts people's attention, and the sound of transactions comes and goes.

There are also those burly men with weapons in their hands, protecting a group of carriages one after the other, holding their weapons tightly and keeping an eye on the surroundings, slowly marching between the markets. It must be the dart masters of a certain dart bureau, escorting a carload of important goods.

"It is worthy of Ziyang City, and the prosperity of Bluestone Town is simply a small thing here." Jiang Fan let out a sigh of emotion.

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves was heard behind him.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! ”

"Drive!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw three fast horses galloping from the crowd.

"What's going on? Is there anyone in the city riding such a fast horse? Jiang Fan cursed, subconsciously flashed to the side, and glanced at the owner of the white horse in the front.

I saw a woman on horseback, holding a long sword, wearing a snow-white robe, draped in white silk satin, and tied with a white silk belt around her waist, with a slender figure and a beautiful face. A green silk is draped casually over his shoulders, and his long black hair is fixed with a white hosta, like a hibiscus out of water, which is beautiful and refined.

However, the woman in white showed an anxious look between her eyebrows, as if she had something important, so she hurried away. Behind her, she was followed by two young maids dressed in blue clothes and holding swords, presumably her personal guards.

"What a cold and beautiful woman!" Jiang Fan was in a trance.

Since Jiang Fan left Qingshi Town, he had never seen such a cold and beautiful woman.

At the same time, there was a lot of discussion in the crowd, and it seemed that everyone was surprised by the appearance of the woman in white.

Jiang Fan, who was curious, turned to the middle-aged man who was watching the excitement and asked, "Big brother, may I ask who those women were just now?" Running through such a lively street market, is there no one to control it? ”

The middle-aged man turned around, glanced at Jiang Fan, and asked with some confusion: "This son, it seems that you are not a local, right?" ”

After Jiang Fan heard this, he responded with a smile: "This big brother, I won't tell you that I am indeed not a local. This time I came to visit a distant relative and elder in Ziyang City because of the entrustment of my family. ”

"No wonder, the prince doesn't know the eldest lady of the Qin family." The middle-aged man sighed lightly.

"The eldest lady of the Qin family?" Jiang Fan was a little puzzled.

Then, the middle-aged man slowly said: "Gongzi doesn't know, although Ziyang City is under the jurisdiction of the Great Xia Kingdom, it is too far away from the imperial capital, and the royal family has no time to take care of it. Coupled with the two major families of Ziyang City, the Qin family and the Feng family have been entrenched here for many years, and almost most of the industries in Ziyang City are related to these two families. Therefore, Ziyang City was basically dominated by the two families of the Qin family and the Feng family. And the woman in white just now was Qin Xue, the eldest lady of the Qin family. ”

"I see." Jiang Fan suddenly realized.

Then, the middle-aged man continued: "Qin Xue, the eldest lady of the Qin family, joined the Sword Heart Valley of the Immortal Cultivation Sect of the Great Xia Kingdom a few years ago. Now that she suddenly returned to Ziyang City, it was mostly because Qin Lin, the patriarch of the Qin family, was seriously ill. ”

"Kenshin Valley?" Jiang Fan frowned.

Afterwards, Jiang Fan hurriedly took out a herb from the Qiankun bag and handed it to the middle-aged man, saying, "Thank you, eldest brother, for introducing me to the situation in Ziyang City." When I left the house in a hurry, I could only express my gratitude with this herb, and asked my eldest brother not to shirk. ”

Seeing the herb in front of him, a glimmer of light flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes, but out of politeness, he coughed lightly and smiled: "Ouch, Childe, this is not good." I just had a brief chat with Childe, and Childe took out such a precious herb, which really made me useless. ”

Although the middle-aged man said something about it, he held the herb tightly with both hands. Apparently, he was ready to take the herb for himself.

The herb that Jiang Fan took out can be regarded as a first-class thing, and it was left over from Ji Yue's previous refining of the pill.

However, before Jiang Fan could speak, the middle-aged man took the lead and said, "Since I have received the benefits of my son, I will persuade my son more." ”

"Oh? Please advise the eldest brother. Jiang Fan narrowed his eyes.

The middle-aged man approached Jiang Fan's ear and muttered softly: "Don't hide it from my son, I have a friend who works on an errand in the Feng family, and I heard that the Feng family is going to do something to the Qin family during this time." At that time, Ziyang City will definitely attract bloody storms, and it is best for the prince to finish visiting the elders early and leave Ziyang City, so as not to get into trouble. ”

"Unexpectedly, Ziyang City is not as peaceful as it seems on the surface. Fortunately, I inquired, and this herb is too worthwhile. Jiang Fan thought to himself in his heart.

Then, Jiang Fan responded with a fist: "Thank you, big brother, after I finish visiting my distant relatives and elders, I will leave Ziyang City immediately." ”

Suddenly, Jiang Fan remembered something, and hurriedly asked, "By the way, big brother, dare to ask where there are treasures to buy in Ziyang City?" ”

The middle-aged man turned around, smiled and said, "Haha! Looking at Childe's appearance, the treasure in his mouth must not be an ordinary thing, right? ”

"Big brother, I'm kidding. I just want to buy some treasures and honor my elders. Jiang Fan smiled awkwardly.

Then, the middle-aged man pointed to a richly decorated attic in the distance, and said with a smile: "Childe, look! That richly decorated pavilion is the famous Treasure Pavilion of Ziyang City. Almost all the treasures are there, and they will definitely satisfy Childe's needs. ”

Jiang Fan looked up and saw that the streets not far away were lined with shops, the twilight sunset was sprinkled on the red bricks and green tiles, and the brightly colored magnificent pavilion was shining under the cornices.

"Is that the Treasure Pavilion? Just by hearing the name, you know that it is extraordinary. Jiang Fan thought to himself.

In this way, after saying hello to the middle-aged man, Jiang Fan hurriedly left the crowd and walked quickly towards the gorgeous pavilion.
