Hutou Mountain belongs to the territory of Pingshan County, Qi An came to Pingshan County, sent Zhao Hu's head to the county government together with the task documents issued by the backing mountain branch, and received the reward in the exclamation of a group of officials, only twelve jade coins, which is not as good as the reward received by Qi An in Pingyang County after killing Li Liuxian two years ago.

It stands to reason that Zhao Hu's strength is definitely above Li Liuxian, and the bounty will be higher, but in fact, according to the official normal pricing, Li Liuxian's head is worth ten jade coins, and Zhao Hu's head is worth twelve.

The reason why Qi An was able to receive more rewards from Pingyang County was completely due to the attraction of Zhao Song, the county lieutenant, and at that time, Qi An not only killed a Li Liuxian, but also attached a Li Wok, and even injured Fan Suo, exterminating a large number of ordinary bandits, resulting in the entire government army's suppression of bandits was extremely smooth, and this credit was not only comparable to the killing of a bandit leader.

Although Zhao Hu was killed by Qi An, the red-clothed thief was still there, not uprooted, and it was possible to continue to make trouble, for the sake of the township, which required the government to organize the army to encircle and suppress the troubles, so as to get rid of the troubles forever, unlike Qingliang Mountain Liuxian Village, the entire stronghold was destroyed, and the three masters died on the spot, and the minions of his subordinates died, those who fled, and those who did not escape were also arrested, and they could no longer become a climate.

After resting in Pingshan County for one night, Qi An turned northeast and headed to his last destination, Huangni Town, which is under the jurisdiction of Baiyun County.

Baiyun County is no longer within the scope of Gushan County, but to the neighboring Fufeng County, both of which belong to the territory of Qingzhou.

There are six counties in Qingzhou, the state capital is in Heishui County, while the remaining five counties are Xiangfan County, Zhengwu County, Yiwu County, Fufeng County and Guishan County.

And the hideout of the third mission target is in a rural town in Fufeng County.

It took seven or eight days for Qi An to come to Huangni Town, one hundred and eighty miles outside Baiyun County, and this was still the case when Qi An used the [Moon Chasing Stars] method along the way, regardless of consumption.

Of course, every day, Liqi An will only spend half of his time traveling, and the other half of his time finding a secluded place to meditate and practice or ponder martial arts.

Cultivation is important in perseverance, and it cannot be abandoned for a day.

As a body refining cultivator, unlike the Qi refining cultivator, there is a true element consumption, what Qi An consumes is his own physical energy, and the physical energy of the body refining monk is also equivalent to the true yuan of the qi refining cultivator, it is not endless, once you consume too much, you will feel tired, and various attributes will decline, which is almost equivalent to the true qi exhaustion of the qi refining cultivator.

It's just that compared to the true qi, the physical energy is much longer-lasting, and it is easier to deplete the true qi of a qi refining cultivator, but it is very difficult to exhaust the physical energy of a physical refining cultivator, which is also one of the advantages of the first system of refining the body.

......

There is a green building in Huangni Town, which is also the only green building in the whole town, called Qinxiang Building.

It is said that Qinxianglou was originally not called Qinxianglou, but called Xiaoxianglou, and later did not know where the boss found a proficient piano skills, and the flower name is called Qinxiang's head brand, so Xiaoxianglou was changed to Qinxianglou, the business is getting more and more prosperous, crowded several peers can not open, have closed down, since then Qinxianglou has become the only green building in Huangni Town, and Qinxiang has also become the most famous geisha within a radius of hundreds of miles.

That's right, Qinxiang is a geisha, she doesn't sell her body, she is very high, she only plays the piano in the Qinglou on weekdays, and she rarely even talks with the wine, and she must be pleasing to the eyes of the other party to have the opportunity to enter the curtain to see the last face, and those who win this award are all very honored, and since then they have been used as bragging capital to publicize it everywhere.

The purpose of Qi An's trip is this Qinxiang Building, according to the intelligence records on the file, Huang Cen, an outcast of Huayun Sect, is very likely to be the top famous prostitute Qin Xiang in the Qinxiang Building.

The reason why I am not so sure is because Qin Xiang's appearance is eight or nine points similar to Huang Cen, and she is not the kind of weak woman who has no power to restrain the chicken, but a cultivator, and her cultivation is not low, at least in the congenital perfection realm.

You must know that Qinglou is a mixed place, some people don't want to abide by the rules because they have some ability, they want to bully others, and the overlord is hard to bow down, but he was beaten by Qin Xiang, which also exposed that Qin Xiang is a congenital martial artist, plus his appearance is quite similar to Huang Cen, an outcast of Huayun Sect, so there is a guess that Qin Xiang is Huang Cen.

But Huang Cen herself doesn't seem to have committed any major crimes, and it is not the court government that is wanted for her, but the Huayun Sect, the sect where she was born.

Huayun Sect is not well-known, it can only be regarded as a second-rate cultivation force, but it is a formal cultivation sect, at least hundreds of years old, the worst disciple is also the Innate Martial Sect, there are many monks in the Condensation Realm, and even some of the great cultivators of the God Refining Realm, compared to the rootless and bottomless ordinary people like Qi An, they can be regarded as behemoths.

It's just that Huayun Sect's sphere of influence is only in the backing county, and there is a feud with the Tibetan Sword Sect in Fufeng County, Huayun Sect is not as powerful as the Tibetan Sword Sect, and it is because the disciples rarely appear in Fufeng County, even if they get the information that Qin Xiang is likely to be Huang Cen, they did not rashly send their disciples over, but issued a reward through the government agency.

Therefore, Qi An did not know the specific charges of Huang Cen, unlike the first two targets, one was to collude with Jiang Yang thieves to commit unrighteous things, and the other was to occupy the mountain as the king and harm the people, both of whom should be punished.

Moreover, Huang Cen's bounty task is also very different from the previous two tasks, the first two tasks are normal government bounty wanted, you need the target person's head and related task documents, you can go to the local government office to receive the reward, and Huang Cen This task must go to Huayunzong to receive the reward, and the reward is also relatively much higher, but the requirement is not Huang Cen's head, but a wordless iron plate that Huang Cen carries with him.

Therefore, Hua Yunzong's purpose in releasing this task is not to want Huang Cen's life, but to want the iron card on her body, and whether to complete the task or not is also based on this.

The reason why Qi An took this task was because Huang Cen of Huayun Sect was the only master in the bounty list who had already determined his position and had the strength of the prefecture-level list, which was a rather ideal whetstone.

Zhao Hu, who was killed by Qi An not long ago, is just close to the strength of the ground list, not the real strength of the ground list, and the gap with Huang Cen is actually quite big, just like one is Wang Sheng and the other is Murong Qing, so the first two tasks are just appetizers, and Qi An's key target is only Huang Cen.

Qi An arrived in Huangni Town at noon, but Qinxianglou would only open at night, and the door was closed during the day, so after Qi An inquired about the location, he did not rush over, but ate a bowl of Zhenzi noodles at a street noodle stall, and slowly found a secluded shade to meditate and practice.

It wasn't until the early lights came on that Qi An finished his cultivation, stood up, brushed off the fallen leaves on his body, and walked in the direction of Qinxiang Building.

Qinxiang Building is a three-storey attic, covering a small area, but the business is very prosperous, upstairs and downstairs are full of people, and even the open space outside the building is surrounded by several circles, all waiting to listen to the sound of Qinxiang.

The clothes of the people outside the building are relatively simple, obviously some poor people who can't afford to spend, and Qi An's appearance is not much better than them, but he has fair skin and a handsome appearance, not like a young man from a poor family, so the old bustard guarding the door actually greeted him with a smile and flattered: "Oh! The little boy is so handsome! But come to drink flower wine? All the girls in our Qinxianglou are talented ......and beautiful."

Qi An didn't want to listen to her verbosity, so he took out two coins and handed them over, and asked, "Is Miss Qinxiang inside?"

Seeing the eyes of the old bustard who saw the money open, his eyes narrowed into a line, and while leading Qi An inward, he replied: "Miss Qinxiang will play the piano for an hour every day, and now the time has not come, please sit down for a while, I will call the two girls to come over to compensate the son, and by the way, I will arrange a few snacks and snacks." ”

Qi An waved his hand: "The girl doesn't have to be called, I'm here for Qin Xiang." ”

Among the guests of Qinxiang Building, there are many who are attracted by Qinxiang's fame and come here, Qi An said this, and the old bustard did not think that he was shy and hypocritical, so he led him to a small compartment on the second floor and sat down, and soon brought up the wine and food.

Qi An hadn't drunk much, so after a few casual sips, he began to concentrate on eating, waiting for Qin Xiang to appear.

Soon after, with the sound of an empty piano, the whole Qinxianglou suddenly quieted down, all the conversations and the sound of cups and cups clashing abruptly, everyone held their breath and listened to the beautiful sound of the piano wafting in, even people like Qi An, who didn't know anything about music, felt melodious and tactful, extremely beautiful.

The direction of the sound of the piano is a private room on the third floor opposite Qi'an, several doors are opened, but a beaded curtain is hung, and a slender woman is faintly sitting in the curtain, a guqin is placed horizontally in front of her, and the ten fingers of both hands are constantly plucked on the strings, and the beautiful sound of the piano comes from this.

This woman should be Qin Xiang, but due to the obstruction of the bead curtain, Qi An couldn't see the other party's appearance clearly, and he couldn't tell whether she was Huang Cen or not, but he was not in a hurry, drinking and eating food while enjoying Qin Xiang's performance.

Traditionally, Kotoka strokes the harp for an hour every day, but guests who are attracted by the sound of the piano always feel that time flies quickly, and it seems that it will not be long before the performance of Kotoka ends.

For a while, the entire Qinxiang Building was as quiet as a wilderness, and even the sound of breathing could be heard.

After a long time, someone took the lead in applauding, and then the applause was like a tide, and the admiration was endless, and the whole Qinxianglou returned to the original hustle and bustle.

After the performance is over, the girl usually leaves, but if a high roller is generous and spends a lot of money to impress the girl, she may also be invited by the girl to go to the third floor to talk.

Qi An inquired about the situation clearly, and as soon as the performance was over, he called the old bustard, directly took out a jade coin and threw it into her hand, and said straight to the point: "I want to see Miss Qinxiang." ”
