Ten thousand mountains among the clouds, twilight to other countrymen have slept.

Shangyong City is the easternmost city in the Terran territory. Li Shiyi set off from Shangyong City to Cangwu Capital, this trip is nearly 20,000 miles even if it is a sword flight, which passes through Zhaoyao Mountain, Tangting Mountain, Qiyang Mountain, and then passes through the Longxi River, and then passes through Qingqiu Mountain and Changyang Mountain, and then arrives at the territory of Yaoyang Kingdom. Then after Qubu County and Jing'an City, we arrived at the capital of Cangwu.

If Shangyong City gives people a kind of prosperity and glory, people from all walks of life will be prosperous in one place. Then this cangwu capital city seems too ordinary at a glance, and even this capital city is a little barren.

Li Shiyi put down his sword in the distance of the capital, gave the sword at his waist, and was about to enter the Cangwu City with his head held high.

"Bell, bell. The two Tie Ge collided and stopped Li Shiyi, who was endowed with the sword.

The guard asked, "Where did you come from?"

"I'm from the Flying Moon Country, a native of the Middle Regions. Why are you stopping me from entering the city?" explained to the guard.

The young guard heard that the person who came was not from the True Star Country, so he withdrew Changge and apologized: "It turned out to be from the Middle Regions, then you may not know that our general has recently won a great victory in the customs, and my king is raising the city in the capital to celebrate the triumphant return of the general." In order to prevent the true star thieves from disrupting the celebration, the king ordered that no one who is not from ours should enter the city with swords and soldiers for these three days. I hope your Excellency will forgive me, don't embarrass me and other officials. ”

With that, the guard apologized again.

"No problem, no problem. After speaking, Li Shiyi put the sword into the mustard seed.

The remaining guards were slightly stunned, and then they cleared their eyes again and continued to guard the city gates. Although they were only small officials guarding the city, the adults who possessed mustard seeds were fortunate enough to meet a few, so they were not too surprised.

What Li Shiyi was most worried about was still slowly happening.

Suddenly, Li Shiyi took out a small piece of broken silver, about two taels. handed it to the guard who had just interrogated him, but the guard smiled lightly and shook his head slightly to refuse. said: "Your Excellency, don't be like this, if you have something to ask, just ask." I'll tell you if I know. ”

This scene really surprised Li Shiyi, and then said: "Dare to ask the little brother, then Xin You'an has entered this Cangwu City?"

The young guard, who knew that he was still smiling just now, heard Li Shiyi bluntly say the name of the general who protected the country, his face suddenly turned cold, and he said coldly: "The general has not yet entered the city, dare to ask Your Excellency if you have a meritorious official title in the middle of the region?

Hearing that Xin Youan had not yet entered the city, Li Shiyi, who was a little relieved, planned to wait for him at the gate of the city. As a result, the words of the young guard made him a little unexpected, it turned out to be a die-hard supporter of Brother Naxin.

"What's your name?"

A cold voice only said two words: "Si Wei." ”

"Haha, now and turn your sorrows into gods, one cup and moisten your mouth, two cups and forget your worries, and three cups of soul wandering immortals. When to go. After speaking, Li Shiyi did not enter the city, reflexively walked to the side, sat on the ground against the city wall, took out a vermilion gourd from the mustard seeds, and drank it heartily.

The celebration was being prepared in this Cangwu City, so there were a lot of squires from the surrounding people who came to participate, so the drunken Li Shiyi who was against the wall was so conspicuous, There was a guard who wanted to go over and drive away the drunk man several times, but he was stopped by Na Siwei, so he let him go.

Finally, the gourd wine dried.

The 'drunkard' Li Shiyi also got up and looked ahead, his eyes were clear, and he was half drunk.

In the distance outside the city, the people stood in two lines at this time, just to welcome the arrival of the protector Xin You'an. Thirty taels of carriages were fed by the people with vegetable leaves and chaff in an instant. White-eyed, spit. It's just because they, the dog officials, are afraid of the enemy country that they are treason and collaborate with the enemy.

As soon as the army department escorting the prisoners stepped on the moat, they heard Xin You'an drink: "Lu Yu led fifty soldiers to escort the traitorous deliverers into the palace, and the rest of the city was five miles away to make food. ”

The 5,000 scorching soldiers shouted in unison: "Obey the general's orders." Retreat and set up camp, not to enter. ”

At this time, the Siwei hurriedly rushed to Xin You'an, and saluted and said: "The general of the Hudu Zhonglang is to meet the general of the protector of the country, the general, Your Majesty has already made a will, and the widow has set up a big banquet at the gate of Shunqing in the city to wait for the soldiers of Xin Guogong and the sick army, and the widow knows that the Duke of Xin will not bring the army into the city, so I hereby make a decree to order the soldiers to enter the city for the banquet." ”

Xin You'an looked at the brocade silk book in the hand of General Si Wei, and after a moment of silence, he first asked Si Wei: "General Si, is Sima in good health? I haven't seen him for nearly thirty years, and when I see you today, I immediately think of him at that time, it's exactly the same." In the blink of an eye, you are also the general of the protector, and time in the world is unforgiving. ”

Si Wei was obviously stunned when he heard this, and he was very puzzled, and said secretly: "Why didn't the general accept the edict, but instead asked my father's body? ”

"Thanks to the general's concern, my father's health is fine, but now I basically don't go to court, fortunately, God is gracious, and Your Majesty also has gifts, everything does not involve state affairs, and my father can not go to court. "The general of the protector Zhonglang is still holding the edict in his hands, but Xin Youan just doesn't accept it.

"I remember how brave and invincible your father was on the battlefield back then, and he had the potential to be a husband for ten thousand people, and he would be old in the blink of an eye in the past few decades. ”

Xin Youan turned his head to Lu Yu and said, "Since Your Majesty has given you a gift, then you will lead your soldiers to Shunqing Gate to attend Your Majesty's banquet." ”

"Obey the General's orders. After speaking, Lu Yu led the Burning Army to escort thirty prisoner carts into Cangwu City.

Xin Youan smiled faintly at the stunned Si Wei, and walked straight to Li Shiyi, who was standing on the city wall.

The elder brother and brother looked at each other and smiled. I didn't say anything for a long time.

In the end, it was Li Shiyi who took the lead in saying: "Brother Xin, I am afraid that your victory in customs clearance this time is a big bait, and the people behind the scenes are afraid that they will completely kill you and want you to be ruined." Be careful, be cautious, take your time, if you make a mistake, I'm afraid it will be difficult to receive. ”

Xin You'an, but looked into the distance and calmly returned: "Brother Li, I also thought about this on the way here before, if someone else does that, I may be able to accept it, but I really can't understand him doing this." Why? How could you be ruthless, let the people of those two cities fall into fire and water, and how could you be willing to let those tens of thousands of troops spare their lives in vain?"

"Brother, I haven't seen it clearly for hundreds of years, I really can't figure it out, you might as well ask him. Be careful of that and Fu, this person's unknown origin is likely to have something to do with the Middle Domain Celestial Empire. Brother, I was going to go to Zhongyu for a trip, now it's okay, there is fun to find, and it won't be too boring in the past. ”

Li Shi, who had a 'cheap' smile on his face, thought that Xin Youan didn't seem to be able to figure it out, so he explained: "In Liqiu, a few days after you left Shangyong City, there was a Zhongyu family who had some small unpleasantness with me. I must go and see who is such a hero. ”

Although Xin You'an in front of him hadn't spoken yet, Li Shiyi understood that he heard that he was going to the Central Domain, and he couldn't rest assured that his apprentice Chen Nian couldn't stop him.

"Eh, you can rest assured, Chen Nian's third senior brother is here, and now he is taking care of Chen Nian and my apprentice to win, I have a hundred hearts. ”

The hanging stone in his heart fell to the ground, and Xin Youan said: "Then brother, I will first congratulate Brother Li on the smooth passage of Yu Kai." I do not send it. ”

After saying that, Xin Youan turned around and left directly, took the brocade silk in the hands of Si Wei, the general of the guarded capital, and entered Cangwu City.

Li Shiyi also followed Yujian away and rushed to the Central Domain.

At the same time, in that Shangyong City, Cui Xin was taking Chen Nian and Win Sheng to visit the rotten treasure pavilion.

On the first floor of the Rotten Treasure Pavilion, there is a stall for private furnishings. Of course, this is also agreed by the top management of the Rotten Treasure Pavilion.

The entire area on the first floor is neatly divided into forty-nine stalls, and every day before dark, the Rotten Treasure Pavilion will post tomorrow's empty stalls in writing outside the Rotten Treasure Pavilion. Each stall has no fixed owner, just ten lower grade spirit stones a day, which is worth about two hundred taels when converted into silver, and this ratio will be slightly different depending on the season.

A stall has ten low-grade spirit stones a day, but the Rotten Treasure Pavilion does not explicitly stipulate that a stall cannot be leased for a long time, but it is only three hundred in the first month, and it doubles in the second month, and so on.

Here you can only rely on your eyesight and luck, and it is difficult to distinguish the real from the fake objects on the stall. The only explicit rule here for thousands of years was that it was forbidden to fight in the Rotten Treasure Pavilion.

Chen Nian took a look, and suddenly in front of a middle-aged stall owner with a mustache, there was a stone egg the size of a bowl mouth, which immediately attracted Chen Nian's attention. Chen Nian had a very familiar feeling in his heart, but he couldn't tell what it was.

The treacherous mustache looked at Chen Nian like a moving money bag, this is Cui Xin saw Chen Nian squatting in front of the stall with the mustache, so he stepped forward and asked.

"Well, junior brother, what do you like? Senior brother bought it for you. ”

Chen Nian, who was squatting, raised his head and said to Cui Xin when he heard this: "Senior brother, then you pay the money first, and then I will pay you back when I have money." ”

"Uncle, how did you sell this stone in front of you?"

The thief's eyebrows and rat-eyed mustache, his eyes turned bonely, and he said in surprise: "Hey, although the little brother is young, he is also an expert in knowing goods, this is a spirit beast egg, I received it from others with ninety spirit stones, brother, I will earn ten and count you as a hundred." ”

Chen Nian and Ying Sheng were taken aback by this price, a hundred pieces is two thousand taels of silver. But Chen Nian really liked this stone egg very much, and he almost hesitated.

The stall owner also saw that Chen Nian really wanted it, and couldn't help but secretly rejoice: "This stone was picked up by me and a hunting team in the city not far from the city a few years ago. Today, I will sell this boy even a tael of silver. ”

This is Cui Xin suddenly said: "An ordinary stone, but it looks more pleasing, you want to sell my junior brother a hundred spirit stones? Are you bullying my junior brother for being shallow or bullying me for not seeing the world?"

It was not embarrassing to be seen through the mustache, and said with a shy smile: "It's still this benevolent brother who knows the goods, and he can do two taels." ”

Cui Xin handed over the money with one hand, and Chen Nian picked up the stone egg with both hands, this is the stone egg suddenly appeared with a golden light, and the person next to him suddenly felt unbearable. The mustache is not stupid, and he understands that he has lost his eyes and missed the treasure. But he was unwilling, so he screamed.

"Come on, someone, someone buys and sells, come on..."

The tourists on the first floor and the steward of the rotten treasure pavilion immediately rushed to the scene when they heard the noise.

Only then did Chen Nian react and wanted to put the golden stone egg into the mustard seeds, but no matter how he tried, he couldn't successfully collect it.

For a while, the person in front of the booth with the eight-character beard was three layers inside and three layers outside, and there were different opinions.

The steward of a brocade coat and velvet hat looked at a few people, and finally stopped on the stone egg in Chen Nian's hand, and then asked out loud: "Jia San, you said that these people are forced to buy and sell, but is there such a thing?"

That Jia San's eight-character beard was shocked when he saw this rotten treasure pavilion person, and he regretted his greed, and originally planned to explain the truth head-on, in order to pray for leniency. But when he saw that the steward's eyes were full of greed, he immediately became ruthless. He said sharply: "Steward Hu, it's just three people, who have taken a fancy to my spirit beast egg, and insist that I sell it to them at a price of two taels of silver, you say I'm not stupid, can I buy it? ”

"Well, these three people are too bold. ”

"Dare to buy and sell in the Rotten Treasure Pavilion, isn't this person looking for death?"

"It's good not to look at the yellow calendar when you go out. ”

Chen Nian heard the words of the onlookers, and for a while the atmosphere was unbearable and he roared to the people around him about what happened just now, but the people who were in the midst of desire, there were still people who cared about whether Jia San's words were true or false, and whether they were false or false.

Chen Nian looked at the faces of those people in front of him, and he was not angry for a while, and gradually calmed down.

Cui Xin smiled when he saw this, his smile was very bright, and he said to Chen Nian: "Little junior brother, you are much stronger than I was back then. Since he has received the money, then you can take what belongs to you and give the rest to the senior brother. ”

Cui Xinling, who sneered, made everyone around him only feel as if the weather had changed abruptly, and Na Jia San and Hu Steward were not so lucky. At this time, the two of them seemed to be in an ice cellar in the thirty-ninth season, and they were cold to the bone.

At this time, there was an old man with a red face and white beard on the top floor of the Rotten Treasure Pavilion, who opened his eyes and slowly went downstairs.

Cui Xin looked at Jia San, who was shocked, and said coldly: "Jia San, right? Did you take my two taels of silver just now and say that the stone egg belongs to us?"

The trembling Jia San was about to admit what Cui Xin said, but the Hu steward took the lead and said: "Your Excellency seems to have some cultivation, but you're afraid you've forgotten what kind of place this is, right? ”

When Jia San heard Steward Hu's words, he only felt that his eyes were half dark, but what could he say.
