Since ancient times, Chang'an West Wind and Rain Chapter 114 Fish Market Turmoil
"Are you just leaving, as a man, do you want to run away with your tail between your legs?"
As soon as Chengguan approached his eyes, suddenly a woman's voice came from behind him, and Wei Qijian couldn't help but stop. He looked back, and the woman standing behind him had tears in her eyes, and she could faintly see that there were bright lights galloping from the direction of Daming Palace.
"If you kill the queen, they won't let you go!" the woman said in a deep voice.
Wei Qijian was silent, he didn't need to explain what to wash, he knew that the woman in front of him would understand him, even if the world would never understand, so what?
As a Changhong sword aura flashed out dazzlingly, in the woman's hand, there was an additional fluorescent sword blade like flowing water, and there seemed to be a faint splash of water on the sword body, and it instantly condensed into ice slag when it fell to the ground, which shows how cold this water is.
The soldiers are coming to the city, and the lights are bright.
The forbidden army of Chang'an surrounded Wei Qijian like an iron wall, and outside Chang'an City, he could faintly hear the sound of galloping horses' hooves, if he guessed correctly, it should be the Iron Dragon Army stationed outside the city galloping towards him.
From now on, he Wei Qijian is destined to be charged with a great rebellion.
Assassinating the queen is tantamount to provoking the dignity of a dynasty, and it is tantamount to provoking the wrath of the Son of Heaven, even if Wei Qijian has the strength of a seventh-order cultivator, it is difficult for him to step out of this Chang'an City by half a step.
"Wei Qijian!" The woman held her sword and stepped forward towards the man, "Fight with me and let me avenge my sister!"
"Meaningless, you're no match for me. Wei Qijian said in a deep voice, the voices of the two were not very loud, but they could also make the garrison and the staff of the Chang'an Mansion Supervisor Division listen clearly.
"I'm not now, and not necessarily not in 10 years. The woman clenched the Liushui sword, with a strong resentment on her face, "Ten years later, do you dare to come to Chang'an to fight me to the death?"
......
"Ten years later, why don't you dare ......?"
The pedestrians on Suzaku Street quickly covered up the unremarkable figure of the man in gray, and disappeared into the sea of people along with the seven swords he was carrying.
Yangzhou City.
Xu Changfeng had just walked out of the luxurious Dingjiang Palace, and a young man in white followed closely to greet him.
"Brother Xu. Gu Mubai looked at Xu Changfeng and laughed in a low voice.
"You've been waiting for me?" Xu Changfeng said in surprise, Gu Mubai came out earlier than him, who thought that he didn't leave, but had been waiting outside the door.
He first respectfully took out a sign from his bosom and whispered, "This is my token of the Song Journey, in the future, you only need to hand this token to my Song Walking disciples to see, and they will do their best to help you." β
Xu Changfeng didn't immediately reach out to pick it up, but quietly looked at Gu Mubai. There will be no pie in the sky, and he can't help but be a little vigilant when he does this. Wrapping up Gu Mubai's coming to the palace today, it is obvious that the drunkard does not mean to drink.
"Brother Xu, don't panic, this is what my master, Mr. Han, personally ordered, if you don't accept it, I won't like him to explain it when I go back. Gu Mubai said with a smile.
"Mr. Han?" Xu Changfeng couldn't believe it, what was Mr. Han helping him for several times? If the assassination of Guozijian was a coincidence, then it is impossible to say anything now.
He hesitated for a moment, but decided to take it first.
He received this heart, but whether he owes this favor or not, that has to be said separately. As long as he doesn't owe this favor, even if something happens in the future, there is room for negotiation.
Since ancient times, it is difficult to repay debts, and the more favors you owe, the more you have to repay.
"Where is Brother Xu going in a while, do you need me to arrange a carriage to take you over?" Gu Mubai asked happily when he saw Xu Changfeng accept the token.
Xu Changfeng shook his head, "If I go to the fish market, I won't bother Brother Mu Bai." β
"Coincidentally!" Gu Mubai's eyes couldn't help but light up when he heard this, "I'm also planning to go to the fish market, and I'll take a boat ride to the dock to go back to Shimen, since that's the case, we just go all the way." β
Xu Changfeng did not refuse, and nodded.
Compared with Chang'an, Yangzhou has a lot less majesty of the imperial city, and there is a unique atmosphere of Jiangnan everywhere, which gives Xu Changfeng a comfortable feeling. Although Chang'an is good, it is very uncomfortable to live.
Maybe in the future, he will return to Yangzhou and find a quiet hut to live in, which is also a good idea.
The so-called fish market is just a few small stalls set up in the harbor, and the fresh live fish can be brought down and sold as soon as the boats come back from fishing, which also saves a lot of thought. If you are in Chang'an, it is impossible to eat such fresh sea fish. Xu Changfeng came to the fish market today to help Su Yongqiu bring two fresh fish back.
At this time, on a cargo ship at the Yangzhou wharf, three officials from Yangzhou Government were inspecting the ships entering the port. The leading officer, dressed in a blue-robed uniform and carrying a long sword, walked continuously in the cabin and on the deck. It was a ship transporting rice, and the hold was stacked with boxes full of rice. Behind him, followed by the owner of the ship, with a simple face, like a fair and honest man.
"Chief, it's all checked, and it's okay in the cabin. β
At this time, two other officials also came back to find the man in the blue robe and said.
He nodded and said to the owner, "On this voyage, be more careful and pay attention to safety." β
The owner of the ship nodded and smiled, "Okay, thank you for your kind words." β
The Sanming official followed and stepped off the board, and on the shore of the dock, one of his subordinates couldn't help laughing, "Have you noticed that the rice on this ship is particularly fragrant?" β
"Rice is fragrant?" the official at the head couldn't help but stop, "If this ship transports rice all year round, there should be a lot of rice grains scattered on the ground, and the smell of rice will also permeate the entire cabin, but we can only smell some fragrance when we open the box just now." β
"Head, what do you mean?" said one of the officials in surprise.
"Rice is just a faΓ§ade, and the goods transported by this ship are definitely not that simple. The blue-robed official said, pulled out the long sword at his waist with a brush, and shouted in a deep voice, "Search for me!"
When the other two officers heard this, they drew their swords and unsheathed them, turned around and rushed back to the ship. The honest owner of the ship noticed that the matter was revealed, and hurriedly crossed the water from the overtime and landed smoothly on the harbor.
"This person's light skills are so good, how can an ordinary boatman have such a good martial arts?" the blue-robed official thought to himself, holding his long sword and catching up.
Yangzhou fish market in the morning is the most lively time, because the early morning fishing boats have returned, and those from the East China Sea to the ships are also followed by unloading, it is the freshest time for fish, who doesn't want to take advantage of this time to eat a bite of fresh fish?
Although the owner of the ship who had committed the crime was very good, there were also some clever women in the crowd who could not cook without rice, and jumped up from the ground with light skills, but could not find any foothold at all, so they had to fall on the spot again and rampage through the crowd.
"Stop!" the blue-robed official shouted incessantly, motioning for passers-by at the fish market to make way for him. He was only a second-order cultivator, and the owner of the ship obviously had a third-order cultivation, and his speed was already inferior, and it was quite difficult to catch up.
At this moment, Gu Mubai and Xu Changfeng had just walked to the fish market, and when they saw that the owner was being chased and killed by the blue-robed official, the two of them actually pulled out the sharp sword they were carrying very tacitly, and rushed forward with their spiritual power. Gu Mubai's strength is obviously stronger than Xu Changfeng, so his speed will be much faster, and Xu Changfeng did not plan to follow Gu Mubai's route, but outflanked him from the side, forming a triangle with the two of them. At this moment, the fish market has already turned upside down, and the pedestrians who buy fish have avoided it, for fear that they will accidentally injure themselves. It didn't take long for the three of them to meet and besiege the fleeing shipowner.
The blue-robed official recognized Gu Mubai's identity at a glance, and he couldn't help but feel a little more confident in his heart. With the presence of the eldest young master of the ancient family, are you afraid that this little thief will not be able to escape?
The owner of the ship did not act immediately, his eyes looked at the three of them, and finally stopped on Xu Changfeng, who was only a first-order cultivator, and a sinister smile instantly appeared on his face.
I saw him raise his sword and immediately strode towards Xu Changfeng.
