Crossing the endless Beiban grassland, all the way to the south, a glance of green gradually sandy, when the eyes are full of loess wind and sand, they came to Shuntianzhou, and Shuntianzhou and the grassland adjacent to only one city, called Kestrel City. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

As the northern barrier of Suncheonju, in order to guard against possible attacks from the Northern Barbarian Grassland, Kestrel City built a relatively strong city wall, but instead of a border wall, it was directly replaced by a city wall. These walls are mainly made of earth, bricks and stones, and women's walls, battlements, towers, corner towers, city gates, etc., are all available, but there is no moat. The reason is simple, even without a moat, such a city wall is more than enough to withstand an attack on horseback, not to mention that in this semi-desertified city, water is the most scarce and most precious thing.

A group of men dressed in black, swords and riding fast horses raised a huge amount of dust towards the north gate of Kestrel City. The soldiers guarding the corner tower found this group of people, and hurriedly asked the soldiers who were looking at the beacon fire from afar on the battlement, and the reply was that they did not see the beacon smoke, and the top did not give any instructions in advance, so it was easy to judge, this is a group of people from the rivers and lakes, as for whether it is the Tiansha Sect or some other sect, it is unknown, as long as the other party shows the token, let them enter the city, and they don't have to worry at all.

The group came to the north gate, and without waiting for the soldiers guarding the gate to come forward to ask, the man in black took out a token from his arms, black and copper, with a kestrel engraved on it, lifelike, it was the token of the city lord. The soldiers guarding the gate were going to scold a few words, asking the other party to dismount and enter the city, and to check a carriage behind, but the city lord token, which was not easily visible, actually appeared, where did he dare to slack off, and shouted at the other soldiers to trot to open the city gate. A group of black-clothed men did not say a word from beginning to end, and entered through the door in a mighty manner.

The group drove quickly on the main road, and soon arrived at the center of the city, where the government office was in front and the city lord's mansion was behind. The black-clothed man who took the lead entered through the main gate of the government office, and the rest of the people, together with the carriage, went around to the side gate of the city lord's mansion behind.

The man in black didn't wait for the pass, and came directly to the side hall of the government office, where the two were already waiting. The man in black walked a few steps quickly, entered the room, saluted the two and said, "City Lord, Master, fortunately, I have obtained the Qingfeng Sword. The middle-aged man in gray helped him slightly, and the man in brocade and gorgeous clothes nodded his head, which was regarded as a greeting. The man in black immediately took out a swarthy and quaint two-foot sword from his arms, bowed down and handed it to the man in brocade clothes.

This man in brocade clothes is none other than Che Yunfei, the son of the lord of Kestrel City, who is in charge of the power of life and death in Kestrel City, one of the seven major cities in Shuntianzhou.

Ziche Yunfei was a little excited, weighed the short sword in his hand a few times, tried to have a little weight, only to feel that it was not very heavy, and then pulled out the short sword with a "poof", a trace of sword light shone out, and a faint dragon groan. Looking closely, the sword body is dark, but there is a groove in the middle, and after many years, the junction between the sword body and the groove is silver-gray, and the sword body has lines, both cloud patterns and symbols. Ziche Yunfei walked to the corner of the side hall, the whole body was dark, and a row of long and short sword stands quietly from top to bottom. "Whoosh" a sword slashed, the top knife holder was broken in response, the knife holder fell down with the top sword, Ziche Yunfei caught the falling sword in mid-air with his left hand, but the broken knife holder fell to the ground with a sound of "jingle bell". Ziche Yunfei held the Qingfeng Sword in his right hand, shook off the scabbard of the Falling Sword with his left hand, and the two hands held in his left and right hands slashed at each other, the sword in his left hand was broken in response, and the Qingfeng Sword in his right hand was unharmed.

"Hahahahaha, it's really a good sword, and it really deserves its reputation. Ziche Yunfei sheathed the Qingfeng sword, placed it on a long-idle knife holder on the other side, and turned to smile at the other two.

The middle-aged man in gray and the man in black both stood up and arched their hands, "Congratulations to the City Lord for winning the Qingfeng Sword!"

Ziche Yunfei waved his hand, motioned for the two of them to sit down, picked up a cup of tea at hand and took a sip, made an aftertaste, and said slowly: "Lord Lixiang, we should be congratulated, with this Qingfeng Sword, our plan has a better chance of winning." What do you two think?"

This gray-clothed middle-aged man was none other than Li Haoran, the incense master of the Kestrel City branch of the Tiansha Sect. Li Haoran stroked his beard with one hand, nodded and said: "The city lord is reasonable, we have been planning for six years, and it has been three years since we searched for this Qingfeng Sword, and finally found it, it is indeed one more choice for us, if we operate properly, there is even an extra strong backup!"

Ziche Yunfei had already stood up from his seat and paced slowly, thinking about something.

Li Haoran didn't disturb Ziche Feiyun's thinking, turned his head and nodded to the black-clothed man sitting under him, and said: "Canghai apprentice, you insisted on searching for the sword, which lasted three years, and finally succeeded. As for whether you can be a deputy incense master, an incense master, or even a Dharma protector envoy or Dharma protector elder in the future, it depends on your and my creation. ”

The black-clothed man called "Canghai" was excited when he heard this, and immediately left his seat and stood up, knelt down on one knee, and saluted with his right hand on his chest: "Canghai thanks to the master's cultivation and the trust of the city lord.

"This is what you deserve! It's just that the great cause has not been accomplished at this stage, and you are more familiar with the Beiban side, and you have to travel between the two places. Li Haoran helped Li Canghai up and said.

"Lord Lixiang, just follow our original plan. If we can crack the secret of the Qingfeng Sword, we will use the secret for us, and if we can't crack the secret, we will also make the Central Plains Sword Sect jealous of us, although it may not be for my use, at least we must get enough benefits from it. In this way, Li Canghai, if you let out the wind, you will say that you have seen the sword of the town faction of the 'Thousand Blades and Thousand Blades' sword sect in Kestrel City, so that someone will always take the bait. Hahahahaha. Ziche Yunfei had obviously envisioned the whole process and the possible benefits, and said to the two.

"Obey the order, let the wind out, and the city lord and master will definitely get their wish. Li Canghai stood up and arched his hand.

"In addition, I told the city lord and master that this Qingfeng sword was snatched from a northern barbarian named Asule, and in order to obtain this sword, Canghai also took great pains to arrange a big game. This person named Azule seems to have a lot to do with the Heavenly Machine Alliance's Trapping Hall, and his relationship with the daughter of Yi Tianxing, the deputy hall master of the Trapping Hall, is not simple. Canghai feels that this Tianji Alliance has been maintaining neutrality in various places, and it may not be without plans, can we make proper use of it, maybe there will be an unexpected gain!" Li Canghai reported again.

"Okay! Just do what Canghai says! Lock this person up first. Ziche Yunfei's mind had actually flown to the Qingfeng Sword, and he was bent on cracking the mystery as soon as possible, and as for the disposal of one or two criminals, he didn't care about it at all.
