Knowing that Qinglian Xiangxiang was not easy to mess with, Jiu'er withdrew her gaze and didn't think about it anymore.

After the meal, Shen Qiyou wanted to go to the town with Jiu'er, and Jiu'er agreed after thinking for a while.

The afternoon sun shone wantonly on the world with a little warmth, and Shen Qi naturally took Jiu'er's little hand, and the two of them walked through the still bustling crowd.

Unlike before, there were many more people in the crowd, and they were in a hurry with weapons in hand, either walking quickly through the crowd with solemn expressions, or asking the stall owners on the side of the road for something.

Shen Qi couldn't help but whisper to Jiu'er beside him with some curiosity, and Jiu'er's expression became a little curious.

"This Jiyang Town is not an important trading town, and there are no big factions in the vicinity, where did these Jianghu people come from?" Jiu'er couldn't help but whisper to herself.

Since Shen Qi didn't have a weapon, and Jiu'er only had the short sword he got from Duan Ergui at his waist, the two didn't look like people from the rivers and lakes at first glance.

At this time, Shen Qi also noticed the black short sword on Jiu'er's waist, and he couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Jiu'er, when I complete this Holy Son trial mission, I'll go and get your sword back, right?"

Jiu'er glanced at Shen Qi and said, "There is no need to rush the matter of the sword, but it is your Holy Son's trial task, can you be sure?"

Jiu'er's tone was flat, but Shen Qi felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, if he hadn't been seriously injured and unconscious, he wouldn't have rushed back to Yunzhen from Wangjia Village overnight. Although his injuries had improved greatly due to the Phaseless Immortal Skill, Jiu'er's sword was too late to retrieve it.

Shen Qi couldn't help but shake his head and said with a wry smile: "My understanding of the Taihe Sword Sect is limited to knowing that the younger generation of disciples have Su Jingxuan and Yu Caiwei, and the sect is located in Fengtianzhou. ”

Jiu'er nodded and said, "Then there is no way, you can only take one step at a time." Previously, I also wanted to collect some news about the Taihe Sword Sect through the Xuanjiawei, but unfortunately, ......"

"What is a pity?" Shen Qi couldn't help but ask.

Jiu'er frowned and said, "Early yesterday morning, I used Feixun to send a message to Senior Sister Hao—that is, the inner disciple of Xuanjiawei who picked up Wang Erya and Wang Ergou—but until now, I have not received a reply from Senior Sister Hao. ”

"So ......" Shen Qi couldn't help but have a guess in his heart, but because of the identity of Jiu'er Xuanjiawei's inner disciple, it was difficult to say.

Unexpectedly, Jiu'er raised her eyebrows and said softly: "I suspect that someone deliberately intercepted my flying inquiry." ”

Shen Qi asked quietly, "Who would do such a thing?"

Jiu'er seemed to hesitate for a moment, but in the end she shook her head and said, "I can't think of it now." ”

Shen Qi knew that Jiu'er was not unexpected, but unwilling to believe it.

"Then I don't want to. Shen Qi grinned and said, "Anyway, no matter how powerful the sword protectors of the Taihe Sword Sect are, it is impossible to have three hundred years of internal strength. There is still a silver lining to me. ”

Jiu'er nodded, and then said, "By the way, how is your left hand? We have been on the road for the past two days, and your injuries have not worsened, right?"

Thinking of the purpose of going to the Taihe Sword Sect this time, Jiu'er couldn't help but feel a deep worry in her heart.

After all, the Taihe Sword Sect is the number one sect of Dayi on the bright side, and the sword protectors of a sect are often the people with the highest kung fu in their own sect.

In other words, Shen Qi is going to challenge the Taihe Sword Sect Martial Arts to become the first person!

In the "Jianghu Master List", there is only one master on the list of Taihe Sword Sect, and that is Lu Baichuan, who ranks sixty-third.

Speaking of which, this Lu Baichuan is only the third generation disciple of the Taihe Sword Sect, that is, Su Jingxuan's junior brother! The reason why he was able to be on the "Jianghu Master List" was only because he met the previous master who was ranked sixty-three when he went down the mountain to practice, and after a fight, Lu Baichuan won, so he took the opponent's position.

Just one third-generation disciple can defeat the Sanhe Realm master ranked sixty-three in the "Jianghu Master List", and the power of the Taihe Sword Sect is terrifying!

Hearing Jiu'er's inquiry, Shen Qi's heart warmed, and then he smiled slightly, and said, "Didn't I tell you, the Phaseless Immortal Skill I have cultivated is extremely beneficial to my injury. The wounds must have scabbed over by now, right?"

Jiu'er couldn't help but pursed her lips and said, "Don't be careless." I think it's better to see a doctor. Not really...... We'll go to Mukden a month later. ”

Shen Qi grinned and said, "I really don't need it." ”

Immediately, Shen Qi moved his left arm and said with a smile: "Look, it's no longer in the way." ”

On the one hand, Jiu'er was shocked by the magic of the Phaseless Immortal Gong that Shen Qi had cultivated, and on the other hand, she was a little curious.

Could it be that there is really an immortal law in the world? Jiu'er couldn't help but say secretly in her heart.

When Jiu'er and the two were talking in a low voice, an emaciated figure in the crowd in the distance was silently staring at the two.

"The man's breath is condensed and his internal strength is extraordinary, and the woman's walking is smooth and light. It's an amazing couple. Judging by his age, he should be a disciple of a famous sect, and when he appeared in Jiyang County at this time, eighty percent of them were going to next month's 'Young Heroes Meeting'! It seems that it is necessary to get in touch. ”

Shen Qi was thinking silently, and suddenly glanced at a sugar gourd stall with sharp eyes, Shen Qi smiled slightly, and walked over with Jiu'er's little hand.

"Xiao Shen Qi, what ...... you found?"

Before Jiu'er's words fell, she also saw the sugar gourd stall, and her pretty face was slightly red in an instant, and the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned.

"Boss, I want two strings of rock sugar gourds. Shen Qi said, and was about to take out the copper coin from his cuffs.

The boss was a man with faint gray hair, he looked at Shen Qi, pointed to the large cluster of sugar gourds and said, "Pick it yourself, two strings of twenty wen." ”

"Twenty Wen?" Jiu'er couldn't help frowning slightly, and said, "Boss, your price is wrong, right?"

The boss looked at Jiu'er, the look of surprise in his eyes flashed, and then he said: "Xiao Lao'er has been selling sugar gourds here for more than ten years, and it has always been at this price." ”

Shen Qigang wanted to pay, but Jiu'er pulled his sleeve and walked aside.

"What's wrong?" Shen Qi couldn't help but be stunned, and said, "Don't you want to eat rock sugar gourd?"

Jiu'er crossed her waist with her left hand, looked at the owner of the sugar gourd stall not far away, and said in a low voice: "That person is very wrong!"

Shen Qi was slightly stunned, and then said, "Is the price of the sugar gourd too expensive?"

Jiu'er nodded, shook her head again, and said: "About seven years ago, the Southern Dali Kingdom sent several killers who were extremely high on the killer list to assassinate the Taetea royal family, but fortunately, someone told the story in advance, which made Dali's assassination plan fall short. At that time, Taetea was extremely indignant, and Taetea raised almost half of the country's troops to crusade against Nanli, but Dali took the initiative to cede the land of the three counties of Yunshang Prefecture, and only then did he give up. However, at that time, the state transferred a lot of grain and wages, which caused the price of goods to remain high for a while, and it was difficult for the people to buy grain. It is still up to Sangong to vigorously promote Tuntian, which makes prices slowly fall. I believe that any Taetea person still remembers the hardships of buying rice and grain during that time. ”

Shen Qi nodded and said, "So the boss said that he hadn't changed the price for ten years, was he lying?"

Jiu'er nodded, and then said, "It's not all. Didn't you notice that when the stall owners around saw the visitors, they couldn't wait to squeeze out a smile to greet them, and praised their things for being good. But the owner of the sugar gourd stall had a too bland attitude. It's completely a 'love to buy but not buy' attitude. ”

Shen Qi nodded hurriedly and said, "At first, I thought that the boss had such a personality, but it seems a little wrong for you to say this." It stands to reason that a boss who has bought sugar gourds for ten years can treat customers with such an attitude?"

Jiu'er smiled: "Look at the clothes on his body again." Why is the owner of a man who specializes in sugar gourds so neat and tidy, and there is no oil star or syrup at all?"

Shen Qi couldn't help but nod and said, "Sure enough, I still can't compare to you in terms of observation." ”

Jiu'er pursed her lips and said, "You don't have to say anything nice." Do you think I didn't notice that you were staring at each other's hands?"

Shen Qi scratched his head a little embarrassed, and said embarrassedly: "I was still discovered by you." ”

Jiu'er smiled: "You just pretend! Ever since the fake drug case, you have always paid great attention to the details. Isn't this evident enough in Wang Yuanwai's case? Say, what have you discovered?"

Shen Qi nodded and said, "I found that the stall owner had obvious calluses on his hands, and his right hand was more obvious than his left hand. ”

Jiu'er said with a smile: "Doing farm work generally does not leave calluses in the tiger's mouth, this situation can only show one problem, he knows swordsmanship or knife skills." So why would a master pretend to be a sugar gourd stall owner?"

"Maybe it's to spy on someone, right?" Shen Qi guessed.

Jiu'er thought for a moment and said, "Now that more is better than less, let's pretend that nothing happened." ”

Shen Qi nodded, and then said, "Then, don't you eat rock sugar gourds?"

Jiu'er smiled and said, "I don't have to be a sugar gourd, besides, I've already eaten sugar people before, we can take a look at the others." ”

Shen Qi nodded with a smile, took Jiu'er's little hand and continued to walk forward.

The emaciated figure that had been hidden in the crowd also hesitated a little and followed.

After walking for a while, Shen Qi and the others saw another acquaintance - Qinglian Xiangxiang.

At this moment, Qinglian Xiangxiang was picking something in front of a rouge gouache stall, and she didn't notice Shen Qi and the others at all.

"Why is it her again?" Jiu'er muttered in a low voice.

"Yes...... The girl in the inn. Shen Qi said softly: "It turns out that she also came out to go shopping." ”

Jiu'er couldn't help but glance at Shen Qi, and the corners of her mouth twitched.

"Let's go, let's go back. Jiu'er said.

As she spoke, Jiu'er pulled Shen Qi's sleeve and walked in the direction she was coming from.

"Oh, it's ......" Shen Qi just answered, and was dragged away by Jiu'er.

After walking for a while, Shen Qi couldn't help but glance at Jiu'er, who was silent, and asked, "What's wrong, why did you turn around and leave when you saw that girl?"

Jiu'er was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Shen Qi, and then told him what had happened in the woods before.

“...... This woman's swordsmanship is extremely high, I don't believe she came just to visit her old friends, she must have some other purpose!"

"People from the Great Qing Kingdom in the East, the swordsmanship is superb......" Shen Qi muttered something in a low voice, as if he had some faint impressions in his mind, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

"Hey, Xiao Shen Qi, do you have a crush on other girls?" Jiu'er's face became very ugly.

"Huh?" Shen Qi was stunned, and then smiled bitterly: "Jiu'er, what are you talking nonsense, how can I still fall in love with other women?"

Jiu'er couldn't help but pout, and said, "Then what did you keep talking about just now?"

Shen Qi scratched his head and said, "I seem to have some impressions of that girl, but I can't remember it for a while." ”

Jiu'er snorted coldly and said, "Do you have an impression? That means you've seen it before! I can't say that your elders have already set a marriage contract for you or something!"

After speaking, Jiu'er stomped her feet a little negatively, and turned her face away from Shen Qi.

At this time, Shen Qi was suddenly startled, and immediately smiled: "Jiu'er, you are really my lucky star......! Green...... Qinglian Xiangxiang! By the way, that's the name! She's a disciple of Yu Sword Saint!"
