Volume 1: The Wind Rises in the Wasteland Chapter 27 (27): A New Page
Jingbei City Seven Star Division.
Jingbei City is located at the junction of Jingzhou and Hokuriku Prefecture, guarding the transportation arteries of the two states. The Xia Dynasty's control over Jingbei City naturally could not be relaxed, and Situ Bai, the third most powerful of the ten thousand households of the Seven Star Division, guarded here. Situ Bai's martial arts realm only had the Innate Realm Triple Heaven, but his Thousand Feather Sword Technique, which he had learned from an ancient sage, made his strength comparable to that of the Innate Realm Triple Heaven.
Originally, Situ Bai came to Jingbei City to relax, but the pressure on law and order in Shendu was too heavy. But he had only been in office for a month, and this kind of thing happened in Jingbei City: the two innate realms fought on the street, resulting in many casualties among the people of Dongmen.
The warriors of the Seven Star Division were searching the area of Jingbei City's East City, and at this time, Jingbei City was in a state of lockdown, and the hit-and-run Innate Sect Master should not have left the city yet. And Situ Bai and his apprentice Mo Qi were tracking down the two sides of the battle through the Yuanguang Secret Method of the Seven Star Division, in order to find clues.

In the eastern area of Jingbei City, in the basement of a house.
There are only three futons for meditation and a lantern in the secret room. Sitting on the futon was a woman in a black fire phoenix pattern coat, who was none other than Feng Qi, who had fought with Zhao An before.
Feng Qi was not lightly injured, and he no longer had the ability to open the closure array of Jingbei City. In desperation, Feng Qi could only hide in the Demon Sect's secret hideout in Jingbei City to avoid the doglegs of the Seven Star Division, waiting for his injuries to recover. I really underestimated that Zhao An, this kid is definitely not simple, using strange exercises and martial arts that he has never seen before. There must be a big secret hidden in him.
Although Zhao An was not simple, Feng Qi was quite annoyed at the thought that he would be injured by a Heavy Heaven ant in the Secret Treasure Realm. In the future, I will definitely take revenge and clear today's shame.

The long night has finally passed, and Jingbei City has ushered in a new day.
Jingbei City Inn.
Travelers got up to eat breakfast, and Gao Mu and his party were no exception. Gao Mu pulled Qiaoqiao, who was still sleepy, to the first floor of the inn, ready to taste the special flower steamed buns of Jingbei City. The inn is often the place where the information flows the fastest, and what happened last night is naturally talked about.
"Did you hear that?something big happened at the East Gate last night, and the adults of the Seven Star Division have already sealed off the place. ”
"I know, I know. My brother who works in the Yamen went to the East Gate last night with the adults of the Seven Star Division. ”
"What's going on? ”
"It is said that the innate grandmaster had a conflict at the east gate, and the houses on the street at the east gate were basically destroyed. ”
Gao Mu, who was sitting next to the group of people, naturally heard these contents, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart. How could an innate sect master fight at the east gate of Jingbei City for no reason, this kind of character is already the mainstay of the sect family, and he usually doesn't take the initiative to fight. I don't know much about it now, so it's not easy to make a judgment, but I still have to be vigilant in advance. Anyway, why didn't Zhao An and Song Lei come down for breakfast.
Looking at Qiaoqiao, who was eating special flower steamed buns, and then turned his head to look at the stairs leading upstairs, Gao Mu put down the food in his hand and said to Qiaoqiao:
"Qiaoqiao, you eat first. I'll go upstairs and call Zhao An. ”
Qiaoqiao puffed out her stuffed cheeks and replied in a slurred voice, "It's okay, Sister Xiao Mu, you can go." ”
"What a snack! I'll go up first. ”
————
Gao Mu went upstairs, walked to Zhao An's door and knocked on it, and asked, "Zhao An, are you awake?" Go downstairs and have breakfast, we will call for departure later." ”
After Gao Mu finished shouting, he waited for a while and saw that there was no movement in the room, so he simply knocked on the door again, but there was still no response. What's going on with Zhao An?
Just when Gao Mu was impatient to knock on the door of Zhao An's room again, the door of the room next to Zhao An opened. Song Lei walked out of the door, closed the door of the room, walked over and pulled Gao Mu aside, and said softly: "Your Royal Highness Princess, Zhao An is resting in my room." ”
"In your room?" Gao Mu looked confused, you two won't have some bad love, okay.
"Yes, in my room. This morning, before dawn, I was preparing to go to the courtyard of the inn for my daily practice. I found Brother Zhao An lying at the door of his room, the strength in his body was exhausted, and he was very weak, so he sent him to my room to rest. ”
"Lying at the door of the room?Did Zhao An go out at night?" Gao Mu asked suspiciously.
"I slept so hard last night for some reason. It stands to reason that Vault Realm warriors are aware of the outside world even when they are sleeping. Is this really strange?" replied Song Lei.
I can only wait for Zhao An to wake up and ask him. ”

Jingzhou, Shendu, the East Palace of the Prince's Mansion, underground secret room.
Gao Yang's face was pale as he looked at the secret report of the Demon Sect that had just come from his hand, and his mood was extremely bad. The group of dog mongrels of the Demon Sect said that they would handle this matter well, but in the end they still failed. Gao Yang shattered the dense cloth in his hand with his strength, got up from his seat and began to think about what to do next. Now that the situation is out of control, Gao Muna has become extremely difficult to deal with. Do we have to take the last step directly? But now we have less than one chance of success by taking the last step directly.
Just when Gao Yang had no clue, Uncle Song entered the secret room. Gao Yang naturally noticed that there was an extra person in the secret room, but he didn't expect it to be Uncle Song. Isn't he supposed to be on the ground to handle the chores of the East Palace?
"Uncle Song, is there something urgent?"
"The five princes asked to see each other, saying that they had important matters to discuss. ”
"What is he doing here?"
"The fifth prince said that he would personally talk to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ”
"Alright, you and I can go up. ”

The Prince's Mansion Didong Palace, a palace somewhere on the ground.
Gao Yang was playing with a black dragon-shaped jade pendant in his hand, and the evil qi on the jade pendant was circulating, it should not be a righteous thing. Gao Yang looked at the jade pendant in his hand, lowered his voice and said to Gao Quan, who was sitting next to him: "Fifth brother, just to give me this evil jade pendant." ”
Gao Quan shook his head: "No, no, no." Does Big Brother know the origin of this thing?"
Gao Yang replied with a smile: "Could it be the jade pendant of the Black Sky Evil Monarch?"
"Big brother is really good at guessing. That's right, this is Xiao Yu's black dragon jade pendant. Big brother might wonder how I have so many things to spare, right? There are some things that I can't say, I know what Big Brother is worried about right now. If the eldest brother believes in the fifth brother, he will leave this matter to me. ”
At the gate of the East Palace, Gao Yang looked at the figure of the fifth brother Gao Quan leaving, and felt that he couldn't understand him anymore. Although he has promised Gao Quan, he still has to make second-hand preparations. After all, Gao Mu's life and death have a lot to do with his great cause.
"Uncle Song, help me find out who Gao Quan has been in contact with recently. ”

Jingbei City Inn.
Zhao An opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling of the inn room, and there was a sharp pain in his brain, and the original injuries on his body were inexplicably healed. Zhao An wanted to get out of bed, but a feeling of weakness enveloped his body. What happened to me, I haven't been out of the room since I fell asleep last night.
Zhao An used his contemplation to sink his consciousness into the sea of Yuan Shen Consciousness and asked, "Senior Day, do you know what happened last night?"
After a while, the voice of the Great Sun Evil Monarch came from within his consciousness: "Zhao family boy, last night I used the evil spirit secret method to help you recover from your injuries, at the cost of consuming your strength. ”
I see, I didn't expect the "person" of the Great Day Evil King to be very good. Zhao An stayed in bed for a while, and got up from the bed after regaining some strength. Zhao An looked around the room and found that although the place he was staying in was an inn, it was not his own room.
"Senior Day, why am I here?"
"That, that, that's right. The side effect of the secret method of recovery is sleepwalking, which is that Song Lei's room. You sleepwalked last night and collapsed at the door of your room, and he took you to his room to rest. ”
"Sleepwalking?
"No, the side effects are short-lived. ”

After half a month's trek, Zhao An and his party finally arrived at the first town on their way to the Northern Han Sect, Lindong Town, which was covered with heavy snow all year round
Located at the entrance to the frozen canyon on the southern side of the Beihan Mountain Range, the town of Rindong is a must-stop on the way to the northern part of Hokuriku State. Due to its proximity to the frozen canyon, the town of Lindong is in the snow season for most of the year, and there are only about four months to grow crops. Hokuriku Prefecture is bounded by the Beihan Mountain Range, and the cold area on the north side is the territory of the two major sects in the north. The north of Hokuriku Prefecture is the Arctic State, which is a forbidden area for living beings, and there is no sunlight all year round, and it is known as the Arctic Daredevil.
Hokuriku Prefecture, Lindong Town Inn.
Zhao An and his party were preparing to have dinner, and on the table was a common clear soup hot pot in Hokuriku Prefecture, which could be filled with all kinds of meat and snow mushrooms. Zhao An put the enoki mushrooms he had just fished from the hot pot into Qiaoqiao's bowl, and added a piece of fat beef himself.
Seeing that Zhao An was clipping the mushrooms to himself, while he was eating meat, Qiaoqiao complained: "Zhao An, why are you like this! I want to eat meat." ”
Gao Mu picked up a piece of mutton shabu and put it in the Qiaoqiao bowl: "Sister Xiao Mu will clip it for you." ”
"It's still Sister Xiao Mu who is good to Qiaoqiao and doesn't want some men surnamed Zhao. After Qiaoqiao finished speaking, he raised his eyebrows at Zhao An, using this to express his dissatisfaction.
Zhao An didn't care about Qiaoqiao's behavior, but turned his head to Song Lei and asked, "Brother Song, I haven't been to Beilu Prefecture. Do you know where the White Dragon City is?"
Song Lei put down the chopsticks in his hand and replied, "I went to White Dragon City with my uncle once before, and I still know the location." But Brother Zhao asked, what is this for?"
Zhao An picked up a piece of mutton shabu and put it in Qiaoqiao's bowl, and replied, "I was entrusted by someone to send one thing back to White Dragon City." ”
Qiaoqiao complained while eating mutton: "I'm not a thing!"
Song Lei was stunned and said in surprise: "Sister Qiaoqiao is from White Dragon City?"
Gao Mu ate the enoki mushrooms in the bowl, but his mind was digesting the details that had just been exposed from the conversation. Sure enough, as I thought before, Qiaoqiao's original form of the White Dragon made me think that she might be from White Dragon City, and now Zhao An has been confirmed again. The secrets of Zhao An and Qiaoqiao are getting more and more. On the night when Zhao An was in Jingbei City before, according to his own words, it was caused by the restoration of the secret method, and the details were a little suspicious.
