Parting and reunion are things that life experiences constantly.

When leaving the blue-masted ship, Ning Baifeng thanked Xie Fanchen and solemnly said goodbye, and at the same time asked him to help bring a precious word to the dewdrops.

Xie Fanchen snorted coldly, "Go by yourself!"

Then he turned his head and saluted with his fists in Yuan Taezhen, "Take care, senior." ”

Ning Baifeng could only smile bitterly.

Let him personally go to Dew Drop to say goodbye, he really doesn't dare, in case something happens, it will be himself who suffers.

He sighed in his heart, there is no coward without cowards.

With Jiang Mo here, a few people don't have to get off the boat by themselves.

Under the reversal of the mountains and rivers, everyone appeared in a remote alley in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Mo's bright city god robe has also turned into a pale yellow scribe's shirt.

In many cases, the gods of mountains and rivers will not reveal their true bodies in front of ordinary people, and only when they encounter some situations, or pay more attention to some qi practitioners, will they treat them with their true bodies.

But it was the first time for the little girl Li Jingcian to experience this situation.

The dizziness caused by the reversal of the landscape made her a little unstable, and if it weren't for Nie Hongzhu's support, she would have already fallen to the ground.

Yuan Tai pinched the flask and took a sip, amazed by it, but his face was full of disdain.

For the gods of mountains and rivers, they belong to the demon spirits, and it is really difficult to have a good impression.

Jiang Mo didn't care.

In his eyes, the only real guest is Ning Baifeng, and everything else is incidental.

"I wanted to take you back to the City God Temple, but this is tantamount to intercepting the guests of the Xue City Lord, which is really inappropriate, so I brought you to this alley. ”

Jiang Mo stepped out and explained with a chuckle.

Ning Baifeng was a little surprised, "City Lord Xue?"

Jiang Mo nodded and said: "After that incident a few years ago, Xue Changwei gained a firm foothold in just one year under the marriage with the Tong family, and then counterpressed the Ao family and became the lord of Dinghai City. ”

Ning Baifeng followed and walked out, but his mind was turning sharply.

In the case of Dinghai City, the forces of all parties fought in a scuffle, but in the end they got a draw. With Xue Changwei's ability, even if the Xue family can re-emerge in a short period of time, it will not be able to overwhelm the Ao family, after all, the Ao family has an Ao Tianxing, as well as Qi Yan from the East and West Sword Ridges outside the city, plus the mountain city god, the situation cannot be broken.

Moreover, although the Tong family supports the Xue family, they will definitely not watch the Xue family dominate.

Tong Shanru, the older generation of the Tong family, is a Confucian monk who practices the golden mean, and what he cares about most is balance.

Xue Changwei can ascend to the position of city lord, there is definitely something in this.

While pondering, Jiang Mo had already led him out of the alley.

Facing the busy streets, the flow of people brings the atmosphere of secular fireworks, and it is very lively.

Nie Hongzhu, who was following behind, held the little girl's hand tightly to prevent her from escaping.

Walking on the street, it is no longer convenient to talk.

Jiang Mo led a few people along the street, and when he walked to the bend of the long street, there was a water port in front of him, and from time to time there was a square saucer array passing from it.

Dinghai City is divided into mountains and seas, and many places in Haicheng are built on reef islands, such a scene Ning Baifeng has seen.

Jiang Mo did not walk on the side of the plate formation platform, but pointed to the other side of the harbor and said with a smile: "That is the Xue family." ”

Several people immediately followed the point.

A majestic mansion is built on a huge reef island, and the buildings in the mansion are built on the reef island, and the top of the building is like a lighthouse.

Everyone bypassed the water port, walked across a wide bridge, and stood on the reef where the Xue family was located.

On the majestic door of the house, hanging

With a hot gold plaque, the word Xue Fu is dazzling.

The two places on the left and right in front of the house gate are not stone lions, but two cows as high as two zhang, looking up to the sky and roaring, and the power is extraordinary.

Several people stood in front of the mansion, each in admiration.

Li Jingcian had never seen these landscapes, and the bustling and lively along the way had already made him a little dizzy, and the tall mansion gate in front of him at this time even made him feel a little scared.

Suddenly, the middle door of Xue's mansion suddenly opened, and two rows of maids rushed out, quickly standing on the steps on both sides of the door.

Some of the maids were very curious and secretly looked at the few people in front of the mansion.

What kind of guests do you need to open the middle door and let them go out to greet them.

On the field outside the house, there were five visitors.

Scribes, young people, old men, women, girls.

It's a strange combination.

But it was this combination that made the city lord and the mistress strictly order them to open the middle gate.

Before a few people outside the mansion could react, a loud laugh came from inside the mansion gate.

Then, a man approaching middle age walked out, followed by a woman holding a boy in her hands.

As long as a cultivator has never stepped through the door of mystery, the changes in his appearance will inevitably grow old with age.

I haven't seen him for a few years, and Xue Changwei is no longer what he was back then.

Back then, Xue Changwei was much older than Ning Baifeng, and with his vain cultivation in the lower three realms, it was inevitable that people would reach middle age.

Xue Changwei looked at the young man dressed in white, and chuckled with a sigh: "Brother Ning, after a long time, you are still beautiful." ”

Ning Baifeng stretched out his finger and pointed at the Xue Mansion behind him, and quipped: "Lord Xue is also not reckless." ”

Xue Changwei immediately laughed.

The woman standing behind Xue Changwei was also surprised in her heart, this was the first time he had seen her husband laugh so happily.

The boy who was being led by the woman looked at the few people in front of him curiously, and his eyes finally fell on the girl in the purple dress, his eyes full of surprise.

After Xue Changwei finished laughing, he introduced the woman and the boy behind him, "This is my wife, and you have also heard of the name, Tong Jingqing." The little guy is my son, named Xue Baichuan. ”

Then he said to the boy, "Hurry up and call Uncle Ning." ”

The boy shouted earnestly.

Ning Baifeng said with a smile: "The sea is inclusive, it is indeed a good name, it seems that Changwei has a lot of expectations for this child." ”

Xue Changwei stretched out his hand and rubbed the boy's head, smiling all over his face.

The boy shook his head slightly, and some of them looked unhappy, after all, in front of so many outsiders, especially in front of a little girl of the same age.

Xue Changwei withdrew his hand and looked at Jiang Mo, and said with a smile: "I really forgive you for neglecting Lord Chenghuang." ”

Jiang Mo chuckled, "You and I can be seen at any time, of course, it is important to welcome distinguished guests." ”

Xue Changwei nodded with a smile, his gaze swept to the people behind Ning Baifeng.

He knew the woman, and the fairy Nie Hongzhu in the painting, but it was the hunchbacked old man and the girl in purple who made him angry.

Ning Baifeng said with a smile: "This is my servant Yuan Tai, and an old man's apprentice Li Jingciao, you know Hongzhu, so you don't need to say more." ”

The short introduction dispelled Xue Changwei's other speculations.

Tong Jingqing finally interjected at this time, "Husband, since the guests are here, how can there be any reason to talk about the old days outside the door." ”

Xue Changwei suddenly realized, smiled and confessed, and turned sideways to greet the guests.

Enter the house.

A banquet of fine food and wine made the guests and hosts happy.

Later, several people were arranged to rest in the guest house in the house.

Jiang Mo was at the banquet

After that, I said goodbye and left.

At the tea table in the guest house.

Xue Changwei looked at Jiang Mo's disappearing figure and sighed: "Our City God, who is now in charge of the huge Dinghai City, is very busy. ”

Ning Baifeng's eyebrows moved slightly, "There are new changes in Dinghai City?"

Xue Changwei nodded and said, "After you left that year, the situation in Dinghai City stabilized, but I didn't expect that in just half a year, Qi Yan from the East and West Sword Ridges would sit down. ”

Ning Baifeng was very surprised, "Qi Yan is dead?!"

A primordial infant earth immortal, as long as it does not hurt the fundamentals, even if it collapses the primordial infant in exchange for life, he can still live for a long time, how can he say that he is dead?

Xue Changwei said: "Xue Shangqian, the elder of my Xue family, although he died in the East and West Sword Ridge, the torture knife still slashed Qi Yan, and he couldn't see the problem for a short time, and it only deteriorated sharply after half a year. These are still the results of the analysis of Wu Lao and Tong Shibo later. ”

Ning Baifeng thought for a moment, "But what does this have to do with Jiang Mo?"

Xue Changwei stretched out his hand and poured two cups of tea, and said: "Qi Yan is dead, Ao Tianxing became a turtle with a shrunken head, and at this unfortunate time, there was a palace civil strife in the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the mountain city god was affected, and it was exposed by some scholars to the evil behavior, and the golden body was directly shattered, so now there is only one city god in Dinghai City." ”

Ning Baifeng took the teacup and turned it gently.

Some of the old things of the year seemed to be no problem at the time, but after the evolution of time, it is surprising that some sequelae will lead to such big changes.

Ning Baifeng asked, "This is the reason why you can ascend to the position of City Lord?"

Xue Changwei nodded with a smile and said: "At the time of the marriage of the Xue Tong family, even if Tong Shibo wanted to maintain the balance, he was powerless, so I picked up a ready-made bargain." ”

He paused, took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and continued: "In the official system of the Great Zhou, there is actually no title of city lord, but it is only because after the Great Zhou went through that palace civil strife, the forces of all parties are no longer under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and I can occupy Dinghai City. ”

Ning Baifeng didn't ask anything more.

He is not interested in some of the rights insider, let alone has nothing to do with him, he is now coming to Dinghai City for the purpose of returning to Lizhou.

Xue Changwei seemed to guess his thoughts, and said with a smile: "It is also because I occupy Dinghai City, so I have the courage to send Wu Lao to discuss cooperation with you after receiving your letter." ”

After the Yuntai sword, Ning Baifeng asked Wei Xing to bring a letter to Xue Changwei, and later after the establishment ceremony, Wu He personally came to the mountain to discuss things, and the talk was related to the cross-continent matter.

Ning Baifeng said, "So, the people sent by the Sword Sect have already discussed with you?"

Xue Changwei drank tea and said with a smile: "Now your Sword Sect has erected a monument on Yuanyang Island outside the city, and has placed a sword tower. The news of Dinghai City's cooperation with the Sword Sect has already spread all over the world. ”

In fact, when discussing this matter with Wu He, the result was basically out, even if there was some deviation, but it would not be too big.

As for the monument and sword tower on Yuanyang Island, that is another matter.

It's just that I don't know which old-timer in the mountains is sitting in the sword tower.

After Ning Baifeng pondered for a moment, he asked, "How is the Lei Peng ferry boat in Luojia Mountain placed. ”

Xue Changwei stood up and looked at the sea and sky in the distance outside the pavilion.

"Actually, since Elder Wu paid a visit to you, Lei Peng's boat had already arrived near Dinghai City, and it had been nearly a year since then. ”

Then Xue Changwei turned to look at Ning Baifeng, "The reason why Lei Pengduzhou didn't show his whereabouts is that he has been hiding overseas and hasn't gone back, just waiting for someone." ”

Ning Baifeng had a faint guess.

Xue Changwei said softly: "She's waiting for you!"
