This is Chu Jiang.

The river is surging and flowing eastward. Vertical and horizontal, looking across the river, you can only see the surging torrent flowing endlessly, and a layer of mist rises on the river surface.

"On the other side of the Chu River, there is Jiangling City. Ling Jiang stood on the bank of the Chu River and died near the river, listening to the roaring sound of the rushing stream, looking at the magnificent city on the other side of the river, although it is naturally inferior to Chang'an, it is also one of the four cities in the world, and the capital of Jiangnan is unique.

"Meow?" the white cat stood beside Ling Jiang, looking at the surging river and raising a trace of doubt.

Speaking of which, Lingjiang and Jianghe still have some fate in the end. When his parents named him, it was supposed to be based on the genealogy, but Ling Jiang only took a single name, also because he was born on the Zongjiang River. Therefore, naming him Jiang is also the same intention. Of course, Ling Jiang didn't know about this matter now, even in the face of such a situation, he still felt a little emotion in his heart.

The ferry broke through the river, and soon a boatload of people was safely delivered to the shore, Ling Jiang picked up the white cat, walked up the deck to the boat, and looked at the western sky on the side of the boat. If you want to go to Chang'an, Jiangling City is a place that must be passed, and I don't know how many of these boatloads of people are like him, traveling thousands of miles to Chang'an.

No matter how many dynasties have changed, in the mouths of the older generation, those things about those people in Chang'an have never stopped. In the hearts of these younger generations, Chang'an quietly planted a seed and took root.

Chang'an is long, Chang'an is short, and Chang'an is not seen.

The ferry boat headed towards the misty Chu River, and in a trance, a tall city wall was already in sight. Gangneung is a city built on water, but anyone who has a customs clearance document can enter it by boat.

The white cat was afraid of water and didn't dare to run around, so he honestly shrank into Ling Jiang's arms and looked around. An exclamation from the crowd interrupted Ling Jiang's thoughts.

He looked up and found that the shore of Gangneung City was actually full of armor soldiers with guns and swords, there were dozens of people, and the person at the head was wearing armor and a sword pinned to his waist.

With such a big battle on the side of the Chu River, what is this for?

For some reason, Ling Jiang always felt that there seemed to be a chill in the eyes of these armor soldiers, in short, it was not good to come, and he decided to leave quickly as soon as he got ashore, so as not to be involved in the troubled water.

As soon as the ferry docked, five or six soldiers on the shore immediately rushed up and stopped the passengers who got off the boat. One of the armor soldiers spread out a scroll in his hand, and when he looked at it, it looked like a human figure. This military master is looking for someone with a painting in his hand, so what else can there be besides a wanted warrant?

In this regard, most passengers were surprised. They were actually in the same boat as the imperial court, and there was no incident.

"You, yes, that's you, come here. Suddenly, a soldier pointed to Ling Jiang leaning on the side of the boat and shouted in a low voice.

When the passengers on the ship heard this, they all retreated. On this deck, which is not very spacious, a three-foot-wide walkway is simply made way.

"Meow!" the white cat couldn't help but howl as he looked at the gun-wielding armor soldiers.

"Don't get excited. This cry frightened Ling Jiang a lot, and the latter hurriedly stroked its little head and said. Ling Jiang was sure that he hadn't done anything, so there was no need to be afraid.

The armor soldier looked at Ling Jiang for a while with the portrait in his hand, and then nodded and made a gesture.

"My lord, I found it!" Seeing this, the attendants on the shore immediately turned around and told the six-rank general.

As he spoke, Ling Jiang was escorted off the ferry by the two armor soldiers beside him.

At this moment, Ling Jiang seemed to be very calm, but the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi in his body was already running silently. Seven days ago, the female ghost in Gongcheng gave him an opportunity, so that he broke through the realm, and now he has stepped into the second realm of qi refining, condensing qi.

Although this will be bare-handed, it should not be a problem to get out of the hands of these armorers. What's more, it is impossible for the white cat to stand idly by, since he ate two flying swords in the tomb, the white cat has not shown his skills, and he must have kept his back moves.

"You are Ling Jiang?" the six-rank soldier asked, glancing at the scroll and looking at Ling Jiang.

"Yes. Ling Jiang nodded, "My lord, may I ask what I have done?"

The six-rank soldier said in a deep voice, "Come with us, and you will naturally know." ”

......

"Sometimes I learn it, don't I say it, I have friends from afar, I don't say it, people don't know ......."

At this moment, in the Pinghai Town School, the sound of children reading aloud is being heard.

"Okay!" Su Qiuhe, who was sitting on top of the lecture and holding a copy of the Analects, suddenly shouted loudly, he put down the book in his hand and looked at the dozen or so young students in front of him, "Today's school is over, everyone is going back." ”

When the students heard this, they stood up one after another and said respectfully, "Mr. Xie." ”

After a while, only Su Qiuhe, who was dressed in Confucian clothes, was left in the school, and he got up and walked around the school hall with residual warmth, as if waiting for something.

A wave of water suddenly rippled in the pool outside the house, and Su Qiuhe followed and stopped, turning around and looking out.

At this moment, on the stone bridge, a man in Tsing Yi stood with a sword, his long hair flowing, like a spring breeze.

"White Sword Immortal. Su Qiuhe said respectfully to the man in green shirt in front of him.

The man in Tsing Yi ignored Su Qiuhe's courtesy, walked into the room, and looked around, "Su Qiuhe, how are you doing teaching here?"

"Everything is fine. Su Qiuhe nodded and smiled.

"Really?" the man in Tsing Yi smiled, the three-foot Qingfeng in his hand was suddenly in a daze, he glanced down and smiled, "I haven't seen the old man for a long time, and even my old friend is a little restless." ”

"Su can't withstand the sword of the White Sword Immortal. Su Qiuhe shook his head and said.

"You don't have to be inhibited. The man in Tsing Yi said softly, "I just passed by Pinghai Town this time, so I thought about coming down and taking a look." I heard that the descendant of the Ling family has already gone to Chang'an?"

"I just left Pinghai a month ago. Su Qiuhe replied.

"It's fine. The man in Tsing Yi nodded, "It's better to go to Chang'an to make a fuss than the current mess of stagnant water." ”

I saw Su Qiuhe looking at the sky and pondering for a while, and then said slowly, "Chang'an, it's a cage." ”

"If it's a cage, someone has to break it. The man in Tsing Yi smiled.

Su Qiuhe asked, "Do you think he can?"

"I don't think so. The man in Tsing Yi shook his head, "Ten years ago, how many people rushed to Chang'an with their swords, full of pride and ambition, and regarded death as home. But what is left in the end? some glorious deeds, some awesome rumors? not any. ”

Su Qiuhe wanted to speak again and again, because he could see that the white sword immortal in front of him still had something to say.

"But...... This kid's life has long been beyond reincarnation, and maybe he can do something unexpected. The man in Tsing Yi said seriously, "The five spirit roots are wasted, such a big stroke, you Su Qiuhe can be regarded as painstaking." ”

Su Qiuhe smiled bitterly: "It's none of my business, I, Su Qiuhe, don't have that much ability." ”

"Do you have the ability, you know in your heart that there is no need to say these polite words between you and me. The man in the green shirt smiled, "If it was back then, I would have drawn my sword to ask you for advice, but now...... Never mind. ”

"Back then, ......" Su Qiuhe muttered in a low voice, and the corners of his eyes quietly revealed a touch of vicissitudes.

The two of them were silent, and the school fell silent, and even the wind stopped abruptly.

The man in Tsing Yi opened his mouth and asked, "Is Pinghai Town okay now?"

"It's still like that. Su Qiuhe replied.

"That disciple of Daojun has come down the mountain. The man in the green shirt continued, "She'll come for you." ”

Su Qiuhe replied lightly: "Didn't this matter be slapped into the coffin and nailed to death ten years ago?"

"It's different. The man in the green shirt shook his head and said seriously, "She will come to Pinghai Town, and it will bring you a lot of trouble, you have to be more careful, even if she is only in the Five Realms now...... No, it should be the Six Realms. ”

Su Qiuhe's expression was solemn, and he didn't know what he was counting in his heart.

"Now that you've used Baizi, that guy underground should be much more peaceful, and you don't have to worry too much. The man in the green shirt continued, "It's just that the next few days in the world will not be very peaceful, and the same is true for Chang'an." ”

"What, do you have an idea?" the man in the green shirt looked at Su Qiuhe who was contemplative, and couldn't help asking.

"I wondered if I should go up to heaven and go around. Su Qiuhe looked at the clouds from afar, and his eyes seemed to have seen something invisible to ordinary people through these layers of clouds and mist.

"No need. The man in the green shirt nodded and said, "That kid has a big life, you can teach in Pinghai Town in peace, and if you teach for a few more years, the sage in Chang'an should allow you to return to your hometown." ”

When Su Qiuhe heard this, he sneered: "Isn't this just a return to the hometown?"

There were a few laughs in the school, and a wisp of breeze blew, and the deceased had gone, leaving a sound in the air.

......

The carriage traveled through the streets of Jiangling City, and in the car, Ling Jiang carefully looked at the picture scroll in front of him, and the portrait on it was indeed nine points similar to him, but this was not a wanted warrant, but a reward warrant!

The white cat was lying on Ling Jiang's shoulder, its furry body next to his neck, and it also poked out its little head to look at the portrait curiously.

"So, you were worried that the people from Yinshan Gate were secretly attacking me, so you inquired about my whereabouts in advance and picked me up on the bank of the Chu River?" Ling Jiang put down the picture scroll, looked at the six-rank soldier in front of him, and asked in a deep voice.

"Yes. The soldier nodded, "These soldiers around me are all personal guards who have been on the battlefield and killed the enemy, and with them, the cultivators of Yinshan Gate are not at ease, after all, this is Jiangling City." ”

"What about the other person in the portrait, where is he now?" Ling Jiang then asked.

Yinshanmen issued a total of two rewards, one for Ling Jiang himself, and the other for Dabai. Obviously, on that day, the Tonghai River slashed the demon, and the people of Yinshan Gate must have seen it clearly.

"They are also in Gangneung City. The soldier replied, "But as soon as they entered the city, they disappeared, and now we can only be sure that they did not leave the city, and it is not clear where they were." ”

As soon as Ling Jiang heard the news, his heart began to feel a little uneasy.

Although no news is good news, but now there is a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger in the city, I am afraid that Dabai will hide in the dark and be discovered by the Yinshan Gate, which is really quietly disappearing.

"You don't have to worry too much, Jiangling City hasn't seen the people from Yinshan Gate appear recently, obviously they are still waiting for the opportunity and will not make a move easily. The soldier nodded.

"There's another question. Ling Jiang looked at the soldier and asked, "I don't have any affection for you, why do you go out of your way to help me?"

Although he knew that the soldier had no malicious intent, Ling Jiang couldn't help but ask.

After all, Gangneung City is their territory, and they are not familiar with life, so it is easy to get rid of themselves secretly, so why put on a big battle like this?

If it's too visible, it will attract attention.
