On the evening of the fourth day, Ninghai County, shrouded in the slanting sun, finally appeared in the sight of the two. Tomorrow is the ninetieth birthday of Zuo Youcai, the old head of the Zuo family, and the big and small forces in the Jiangnan region will send people to celebrate his birthday. If the ordinary old man has a birthday, even if it is a 100-year-old birthday, there may not be so many people, the reason why it is like this is because it is rumored that the Zuo family got the Canghai Pearl, so those heroes and heroes who came to the East China Sea to find the Canghai Pearl will hug each other here.

This Zuo family city is rich and wealthy, and there is Dingjiang Wangfu as a backer behind it, and they don't dare to rob it, but they just want to be able to see with their own eyes what Canghai Pearl is, and whether this Canghai Pearl is really as amazing as the rumors say.

The county government of Ninghai County also dispatched many manpower to maintain order at the county gate, although it was ten o'clock in the evening, there was still a long queue at the county gate. Although it is not as crowded as the city of Chang'an, it is also a large number.

"Looks like we're late, and we're going to be sleeping on the streets tonight. Su Yongqiu looked at the long line of more than a dozen people in front of him and couldn't help but sigh.

After the coachman sent them to Ninghai County, they immediately went to a nearby post station to rest. And Su Yongqiu and the others can only wait until they enter the city to find an inn to live in, but now in this scene, it is estimated that there will be no inns in the county.

"People from Chang'an?"

The guards at the city gate of Ninghai County looked at the household registration documents of Xu Changfeng and Su Yongqiu, and couldn't help but be surprised. Chang'an is thousands of miles away from the south of the Yangtze River, and these two people don't look like people who are rushing by in the dust, so could it be that they came to congratulate Old Man Zuo on his birthday?

The guard didn't dare to ask anything, and the people who could live in Chang'an were not easy to provoke. What's more, he also noticed that although this old man had white hair, he still exuded a very extraordinary temperament on his body.

The two walked into Ninghai County smoothly, and the streets and alleys of the county seat were crowded with all kinds of tourists.

"The name of this sea pearl is really not to be underestimated. Xu Changfeng looked at the pedestrians coming and going on the street, most of them had an obvious sign, that is, they had a sword in their hands or a sword on their shoulders. They are all cultivators who have come for the Pearl of the Sea......

"Are you afraid?" Su Yongqiu suddenly lowered his head, looked at Xu Changfeng, who was a little shorter than him, and asked, "If you tear your face with Zuo Gu Nian tomorrow, I'm afraid I won't have the heart to take care of you, and then you will probably have to go out of the city with your own strength." ”

Xu Changfeng looked at Su Yongqiu Zhengse and said, "Uncle Shi is not afraid, and I am naturally not afraid." ”

Su Yongqiu nodded, "Also, since you dare to help Zhou Qixuan win Chang'an City, just one Ninghai County may not make you jealous." ”

Xu Changfeng smiled, he knew that Su Yongqiu's words meant that he wanted him to pay attention to restraint. It is naturally very important to walk the rivers and lakes with arrogance, but if the arrogance is excessive, it is arrogant.

The two have found several inns, all of which are full of guests without exception. And Su Yongqiu and Xu Changfeng didn't seem to be in a hurry, but found a restaurant with a high grade, ordered a few good dishes, sat down and ate dinner slowly. Although they also spent the night in the inn these days, the food there was not much better.

The two of them began to eat for a while, and a middle-aged steward with a simple face appeared in their sight. He stood in front of the table and saluted like two people, and then said in a low voice respectfully: "The villain is the Zheng steward of the Zuo family, I don't know that Dean Su is here, it is really a disappointment, please forgive me." ”

Su Yongqiu seemed to have already guessed that this housekeeper would say this, but he just smiled slightly, "Steward Zheng is polite, although I have a relationship with the old master of your family, I haven't seen each other for decades, why be polite? Besides, I am no longer the dean of the Qingzhu Sword Academy, Steward Zheng said this, don't you laugh at my Su someone's name?"

This seems to be an ordinary sentence of Steward Zheng, but there is a secret secret. The implication is that since you, Su Yongqiu, are no longer the dean of the Qingzhu Sword Academy, then you should settle down and spend the rest of your life in Chang'an City, and come all the way to my Ninghai County to do something?

"Hehe, Dean Su is serious. Steward Zheng shook his head and smiled, "My old master has mentioned your reputation many times, who in this world does not accept your name as Dean Su? If Dean Su doesn't dislike it, the villain can arrange a quiet courtyard for the two of them to rest. ”

"It doesn't have to be. Su Yongqiu smiled slightly, "Although I, Su, am far away in Chang'an, I still know one or two people in Ninghai County, so I can borrow them for one night, and I don't bother Old Man Zuo." ”

If Su Yongqiu and the others agreed to Steward Zheng's proposal, then it would be unreasonable to want to snatch Canghaizhu tomorrow.

"In that case, then I won't force the two. Steward Zheng smiled and asked humbly, "I don't know what Dean Su came to my Ninghai County to do......?"

Su Yongqiu picked up a handful of vegetables and put it in the bowl, interrupting Steward Zheng's words: "I'm just traveling around the rivers and lakes with my nephew, and I just happened to pass through Ninghai County, and I will leave tomorrow." ”

"In this case, the villain retires, I wish you two a safe journey. Steward Zheng nodded and bowed back.

Looking at Steward Zheng's back and leaving the restaurant, Xu Changfeng couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "The Zuo family's temptation is too child's play, it's better to get straight to the point and make it clear." ”

Su Yongqiu said seriously: "The Zuo family obviously doesn't take me seriously, this is not a temptation, it is almost the same as a threat, the word "safe all the way" is really good." ”

"Then what are the steps of Zuo Gu Nian's cultivation?" Xu Changfeng then asked.

"Sixth-order peak, I heard that he has already stepped into the seventh-order with half a foot. Su Yongqiu said solemnly.

Xu Changfeng nodded, and then asked, "Then Uncle Su, how is your cultivation?"

"When I was young, I had already reached the late seventh order. Su Yongqiu said with some regret, "It's a pity that now I'm old and frail, and my strength is not as good as before." However, in the face of the early seventh-order cultivators, they could still fight against them. ”

If we talk about the first watershed between the fourth-order Divine Realm and the fifth-order Dao Realm cultivators, then the sixth-order Dao Realm and the seventh-order Divine Soul Realm are the second great watershed. After entering the seventh-order cultivation, every small level has a gap-like gap. Even among cultivators of the same level, they will be in different positions on the three, six, nine, and other levels.

Although Su Yongqiu said that he crushed Zuo Gu Nian in terms of strength, it was still quite difficult to rob Canghaizhu by force.

"Don't worry. Su Yongqiu looked at Xu Changfeng and said, "Since I promised to help you get the Canghai Pearl, I won't break my promise easily." Even if he stepped into the seventh order with half a foot in his left Gu Nian, how can I say that I have also comprehended the mysteries of this divine soul realm, but it is not comparable to his half-baked cultivation. ”

Xu Changfeng nodded, still a little worried in his heart. The two left the inn, Su Yongqiu really took Xu Changfeng to find an old friend, borrowed him an empty room, and the two spent the night peacefully on the floor.

On the second day, Xu Changfeng woke up early in the morning, took some broken silver taels and walked out of the street to buy breakfast for Su Yongqiu. The people of Chang'an mostly eat noodles as their staple food, while in the south of the Yangtze River, rice is the staple food, among which the grain made from glutinous rice ground into flour is the most delicious. Xu Changfeng has been in Yangzhou for more than half a year, and he has eaten a lot, so there is no taboo.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of firecrackers in Ninghai County, and the sound of firecrackers like clouds and mist bursting was like thunder, and it resounded for a long time before stopping. It is said that in the courtyard of the Zuo family, nine long firecrackers were lit one after another, which means the ninetieth birthday of the old master of the Zuo family.

The birthday has been held since the time of the day, and the courtyard of the Zuo family can be said to be crowded with people. However, Xu Changfeng and Su Yongqiu were not in a hurry, after the two of them ate the glutinous rice and glutinous rice they bought unhurriedly, Su Yongqiu said goodbye to this borrowed old friend and walked on the street with Xu Changfeng.

Today's streets in Ninghai County can be described as empty alleys, except for some old people and children, basically no one can see anyone walking, compared with yesterday can be described as a world of difference.

"You said that we went to attend someone else's birthday, so it's not good to leave empty-handed, right?" Su Yongqiu couldn't help but whisper as he walked on the road.

"I heard that today, the Zuo family also invited ten first-class painters in Jiangnan to paint on the spot?" Xu Changfeng thought for a while and asked seriously.

"Yes. Su Yongqiu nodded and said, "With Zuo Gu Nian's reputation, it is not difficult to invite these painters. ”

"In that case, I might know what to give him. Xu Changfeng showed a slight smile on his face, "Let's go directly, if we go late and give gifts, it will be a little insincere." ”
