With the previous attack, Jia Yuanshu didn't dare to stay, and took Yao Xing'er to continue to hurry while the moonlight.

As soon as the sky was bright, the two finally walked out of the vast grassland, and there were more pedestrians nearby.

Looking at the road that reappeared in front of him, Jia Yuanshu seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and said softly, "Beiyue City has arrived. ”

Beiyue City is a famous city in the north of Zhongzhou Dajin, and its scale is far above Feng'an City and other southern towns, and even much larger than the capital.

It is just located in the northernmost part of Zhongzhou, with a cold climate and sparsely populated population, and the Xuanwei Mountain in the northwest stretches for thousands of miles, separating Zhongzhou from the Yelan country in the north.

Twenty years ago, Yin Changfeng destroyed Nanyue, enshrined Qi Tianhou, and built Qi Tianbao in Beiyue City.

Since then, people have almost forgotten the name of Beiyue City, which is commonly known as Qitian Castle.

At noon, the two of them had walked into Beiyue City, although it was not as prosperous as Feng'an City, but it was also bustling and busy all the way.

The difference is that there are obviously many more soldiers in the city here, and soldiers armed with swords and guns and armor can be seen patrolling the streets everywhere.

There was a city within a city, and after walking for a long time, the two came to a tall city gate.

Compared with the previous gate that entered the city, there is no endless stream of pedestrians here, but more guards patrolling here.

It's just that the city wall, which is much taller and stronger than before, is the entrance to Qitian Castle.

Jia Yuanshu took out a gold medal from his arms, weighed it in his hand, and said to Yao Xing'er: "This gold medal is given by the little marquis of Qi Tianbao, as long as I hand over this gold medal to the city gate guards, I will definitely be invited as a guest, with fine clothes and food, and I don't have to worry about eating and drinking." ”

Yao Xing'er recalled that she had met the young man on the road before, and her face couldn't help showing a hint of joy, and she took a few steps towards the gate of Qitian Castle, and suddenly stopped, as if she was a little hesitant.

glanced at Jia Yuanshu blankly, and said with some doubts: "You can't eat for nothing, right?"

Jia Yuanchu couldn't help but smile bitterly on his face, and then said: "Naturally, you don't have to work hard, but there is no free lunch in this world, if you live in it, I am afraid that you owe the little marquis a favor." ”

Yao Xing'er hesitated for a while, and said timidly: "It's better to ...... Let's go alone with Brother Jia, I'm just a maid, I can't live a rich life, and I'm afraid it's not a habit to live in it. ”

Jia Yuanji chuckled a few times, pulled Yao Xing'er and turned around and left, without saying more.

After a while, he found an iron-striking shop, took out the gold medal in his arms, threw it directly into the furnace, and said to the big iron man: "Brother, please melt this piece of gold, and the extra scraps will be used as payment." ”

The iron man was overjoyed, without saying a word, and was busy non-stop.

A gold medal, exchanged for a few gold lumps, Qi Tianbao purchased an ordinary house, and added clothes, pots and bowls, and the two lived like this.

Jia Yuanzhu sometimes goes out to tell the fortune teller, Yao Xinger manages the housework in an orderly manner, and the life is easy and comfortable.

In the Monkey Castle, in an elegant study, an elderly man in his fifties sits in front of the table with a tea bowl in one hand and a scroll in the other.

Even if he reads a book, his body still exudes the aura of Yuanyue Zhizhi, and his temples are dyed with frost, and it is difficult to hide his heroic face.

Only above his countenance was slightly pale, with a faint hint of sickness.

It is Qi Tian and Yin Changfeng.

There was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the door, Yin Changfeng put down the scroll in his hand and looked up to look outside.

A short time later, a middle-aged man in his forties walked into the room, his face a little anxious.

"What's going on? Don't panic, you speak slowly. ”

The middle-aged man's name is Yin Wuning, who has always been commensurate with Yin Changfeng's brothers, and is the closest person to Yin Changfeng.

Calming down slightly, Yin Wuning said: "The news I just got from the capital is a little inconsistent with the letter from the little marquis earlier. ”

Yin Changfeng raised his eyes slightly and asked, "What's the difference?"

Yin Wuning said: "This trip to Feng'an was not peaceful, the little marquis was assassinated at the nameless grave. ”

Yin Changfeng was not only not surprised, but the corners of his mouth showed a little more smile, and he said lightly: "Even if I am the son of Yin Changfeng, how can there be no waves in this life? You don't have to be too nervous, isn't there nothing wrong now." By the way, where is the deer now?"

Yin Wuning said: "After leaving Feng'an, I went to the capital again, and I have turned around a while ago, and according to the time, it is time to go to Qitian Fort now." ”

Yin Changfeng nodded and didn't say anything more.

Yin Wuning felt uneasy, took a step forward and said, "Master Hou, you don't know, according to the information I received, the assassination of Little Master Hou this time was not a group of people, but three groups. ”

"Oh?"

Yin Changfeng couldn't help but raise his head, his eyes narrowed slightly, he looked at Yin Wuning and asked, "Three groups of people?"

Yin Wuning immediately roughly said what happened outside Feng'an City, and Yin Changfeng on the side couldn't help frowning.

"Chen Jiuwang has followed me for decades, and he can be bribed? ”

Muttering to himself, Yin Changfeng fell into deep thought.

Yin Wuning continued: "In my opinion, the woman in black mentioned in the news is even more simple, this person is just a cultivator of enlightenment, but the little marquis is not her opponent. In addition, judging from the appearance and moves, this person is also very consistent with the assassin who entered the palace two years ago, how can there be such coincidences in the world, unless ......"

"Unless it's Fu Caiyan's disciple. ”

Yin Changfeng took over and said.

Yin Wuning nodded in acquiescence.

At the mention of this name, both of them looked extremely solemn, and at the same time fell into deep thought.

After a long time, looking at Yin Changfeng's condensed brows, Yin Wuning couldn't help but shout again: "Master Hou." ”

Yin Changfeng let out a long sigh, still with a thoughtful look on his face.

He waved his hand casually and said, "You go first." ”

After explaining, Yin Wuning nodded yes, turned around and was about to leave.

As soon as he walked to the door, Yin Changfeng suddenly asked again: "Wu Ning, what about the cloud falcon that you don't leave every night?"

Yin Wuning paused for a moment, and then said: "I let it go out every evening to hover outside the fort, and I don't know why I haven't seen it back tonight." ”

Yin Changfeng didn't ask any more, nodded, and motioned for Yin Wuning to leave.

Yin Changfeng was the only one left in the room, and before he knew it, it was late at night, the teapot was filled with tea, and a green lantern was lit, and there was no intention of resting.

After sitting at the table for a long time, it was dawn for another hour, and a scroll was always in Yin Changfeng's hand, but he didn't turn the page all night.

A night breeze blew, and one side of the window was blown open a crack, creaking and creaking.

Yin Changfeng raised his eyes and looked outside, suddenly showed a faint smile, and said, "Since Your Excellency is here, please show up." ”
