Chapter 66: Still Followed

Early in the morning, before the sun appeared, the main gate of the imperial city had just opened, and An Qianshi appeared here on a horse, slowly riding out of the city, as if he was going out to play. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

However, after leaving the city, he began to speed up and rushed towards Zimu City, which was five or six hundred miles away.

Zimu City is a medium-sized city, but it is very prosperous, and it has an important passage to the Tang Empire.

The Han Soul Empire and the Tang Empire have always had an excellent relationship, and the business contacts between the two sides are very frequent, so this Zimu City has become an important transit point.

Due to the relatively long passage that crosses the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains, the road is not very smooth, with bandits and robbers infested, and occasionally encountering some wild beasts.

These merchants will first gather in Zimu City and travel together, and they will hire some masters on the rivers and lakes to escort the caravan.

Therefore, Zimu City not only has a large population, but also has a lot of people on the rivers and lakes, and it is a place where dragons and snakes are mixed.

In addition, if you go out of the city from the other side of Zimu City, you can quickly enter the depths of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range, so the timber minerals and hunting resources here are also very rich.

If you directly cross this section of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range, which is more than three hundred miles, you can also directly reach the Tang Empire.

The first stop on An Qianshi's route was Zimu City, and then he passed directly from the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains to the Tang Empire, which would save several days of time compared to taking the normal passage.

Then find another boat in the Jinlong River and go downstream, and you will soon be able to reach the closest place to the Burning Heaven Cave to go ashore, and you can reach the Burning Heaven Cave for another day.

But what An Qianshi didn't know was that not long after he left the city gate, several fast horses appeared at the city gate, chasing him in the direction he was heading.

Before the sky was dark, An Qianshi had already arrived in Zimu City, although he had walked through the rivers and lakes with Duan Laohuazi for a period of time before, and had seen many places, but he was still unexpected for the prosperity here.

There is a prosperous scene of busy traffic everywhere, restaurants and teahouses, and people in the rivers and lakes who can be seen carrying weapons everywhere.

An Qianshi searched for a long time but couldn't find a suitable place to stay to store the horses, and finally found a Tongfu inn before he smiled.

How can such a prosperous place not have a beggar's industry!

led the horse to the door of the inn, and the second child at the door greeted him apologetically: "This uncle, it's really unfortunate, the guest rooms in the small shop are full, you might as well choose another one!"

"Is it really full? I don't think so, Xiao Er, do you think you can make room for me?"

As he spoke, An Qianshi made a gesture and crossed his two thumbs.

As soon as Xiao Er saw An Qianshi's gesture, his face changed, and he hurriedly stepped forward to hold the horse for An Qianshi.

With a smile on his face, he said: "The distinguished guest is here, you come with the little one, and the best guest room is reserved for you!"

An Qianshi's gesture is the code of the beggar's door, but An Qianshi does not belong to the beggar's person, and his gesture represents the beggar's identity as a guest at the same level as the ordinary elder.

This is also the identity that Chen Tianxiang specially arranged for him before, but this is the first time An Qianshi has used it.

When he arrived in the backyard, the little two beckoned someone to come over and lead An Qianshi's horse to the stable, and led An Qianshi into a private room in the attic.

"Guest, are you still satisfied with this, I don't know who you are?" Xiao Er asked a little strangely.

After all, An Qianshi's age is too young, and the identity of this gesture is too high, so this little two is still not at ease.

"Little second brother, don't worry, call your shopkeeper to come over, and help me prepare pen and ink, I have a letter to return to Jizhou General Gate a little." ”

An Qianshi did not answer Xiao Er, but proposed to see the shopkeeper.

As soon as Xiao Er heard that this young man actually mentioned the main gate of Jizhou, he didn't ask any more.

After pouring a cup of tea, he said, "Distinguished guest, you drink tea, and the small one will go and invite the shopkeeper to come." ”

After saying that, he hurriedly turned around and went out.

An Qianshi wanted to send a letter to Chen Tianxiang and tell him about his general situation.

He has already solved the murderer of Grandpa Duan, and asked him to pay attention to the news of Jin Rutie's brothers, and then secretly investigate what the current situation of the original Jin family's property is.

Before the cup of tea was finished, there was a knock at the door, and then the little two led a man who was nearly fifty years old to come in.

As soon as this person entered the door, he didn't see An Qianshi clearly, and he heard a surprise shout: "Uncle Tong, I didn't expect you to be the shopkeeper here!"

This Uncle Tong hurriedly raised his head and took a closer look, only to recognize An Qianshi, and exclaimed with a look of surprise: "Little stone, you are so big, I heard that you didn't go to the army?"

It turned out that this shopkeeper Tong and the shopkeeper of Tongfu Inn in Jizhou City were brothers, and he had been to Jizhou City twice before and had seen An Qianshi, but An Qianshi was only a half-old child at that time, so he recognized it after taking a closer look.

However, he knew everything about An Qianshi, and Chen Tianxiang also intended to let An Qianshi come here.

The shopkeeper Tong turned his head to the little two and said, "Sanshunzi, you go get busy first, I'll talk to this distinguished guest, don't mention where I went, understand!"

"Okay, the shopkeeper will talk first, and I'll go out to say hello. After Sanshunzi finished speaking, he put the pen and paper in his hand on the table, turned around and closed the door and left.

"Little stone, tell me what's going on, why did you come here again!"

An Qianshi said with a smile: "Uncle Tong, it's okay, isn't this the end of the battle with Qin Yue! I was named a general for my military merits, and I was also given the title of Marquis of Anping by the emperor." ”

"Oh, is this true? Great, we have thought you have a good fortune since we were children, but I didn't expect you to be a marquis at this age. ”

Shopkeeper Tong called out in surprise.

"Uncle Tong, do you know how Jizhou City is doing now? After I left, the Wu family and Xuantian Sect didn't embarrass the beggars, right?"

An Qianshi is very concerned about this matter and wants to understand it clearly.

"It's okay, it's all good, no one from the Wu family and Xuantian Sect has said anything at all, and I haven't heard of it anymore, and no one will think about looking for you for three months after you left. Shopkeeper Tong replied directly.

An Qianshi nodded, feeling that his judgment was right, at least Li Liang must have thought that he was dead, just a word, it is estimated that he himself forgot about it!

"Uncle Tong, do you know the news of the birth of a strange treasure in the Tang Empire?" An Qianshi asked.

Shopkeeper Tong looked at An Qianshi in surprise and said, "I only found out about this today, and now I don't know much about the rivers and lakes, how did you know?"

"I said that someone from Xuantian Sect told me, do you believe it?" An Qianshi replied with a smile.

"Letter, this matter can only be transmitted so quickly by the means of a few major sects, don't you want to go too?" asked the shopkeeper Tong worriedly.

"Yes, I'm going to take a look! Since these big sects think it's a strange treasure, it's probably not wrong, I'm going to join in the fun. An Qianshi replied directly and definitely.

"You kid, how dangerous it is there, where can ordinary people go, even those big sects have to send top people to dare to go, you can't go!"

Shopkeeper Tong persuaded directly.

An Qianshi shook his head slightly and said: "Uncle Tong, don't persuade me, I have already decided, but I will be careful, I will never take risks, besides, my strength is not weak now, you can rest assured, but I will write a letter to you to help me bring it to Uncle Tianxiang, I have found the murderer of Grandpa Duan, and burned him to ashes." ”

"Really! The Great Elder has a spirit in the sky! The little stone has avenged you!"

The shopkeeper Tong not only had no surprise, but he knelt on the ground and bowed to the sky a few times, shedding a few old tears.

An Qianshi hurriedly stepped forward to help the shopkeeper Tong up, and persuaded: "Uncle Tong, don't be sad, Grandpa Duan doesn't want us to be sad for him all day long." ”

"Child, you don't know, my brother and I would have starved to death on the side of the road if we hadn't been rescued by the Great Elder, and there are not a few people like me and my brother in our beggars, so we are all sad that we can't avenge the Great Elder, now it's okay, you still have the ability to do it!"

Shopkeeper Tong said with a little embarrassment.

An Qianshi nodded and didn't speak, because he still knew something, just like Chen Tianxiang was rescued by Grandpa Duan, but he didn't know how much.

Unexpectedly, the brothers of the shopkeeper Tong were also rescued by Grandpa Duan back then, it seems that Grandpa Duan doesn't know how many people he has helped!

Especially his brother and sister were also rescued by Grandpa Duan, and he even got a peerless exercise.

An Qianshi sat down at the table and wrote down a letter.

After writing it, he handed it to the shopkeeper Tong and said: "Uncle Tong, although I have killed the murderer of Grandpa Duan, there is still a culprit that I have not been able to solve for the time being, you can bring this letter to Uncle Tianxiang and ask him to help me find out about the Jin family's property." ”

"Okay, I'll arrange for the people inside the door to bring it over as soon as possible, but you don't have to think about the Burning Sky Cave anymore!" shopkeeper Tong still persuaded without giving up.

"Uncle Tong, you don't need to persuade me about this matter, I have already decided, and I will return to Jizhou City as soon as possible when I come back. ”

An Qianshi also replied firmly.

"Okay then, when are you going to leave, little stone? This journey is not close! Uncle will prepare some food and entanglement for you?" asked the shopkeeper Tong.

An Qianshi shook his head and said, "Uncle Tong, don't be so troublesome, I'll leave my horse here and leave early tomorrow morning." ”

"Okay then, Uncle will give you something to eat. The shopkeeper Tong no longer persuaded him, got up and went to prepare food for An Qianshi.

At the second watch, An Qianshi was practicing, and suddenly opened his eyes, and a helpless smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Shaking his head, he said, "Come in, is it cool at the door?"

The door to his room was pushed open at once, and four merfolk entered.

One of the big men smiled and said, "I'm right! Brother Shi must have known that we were coming, hehe!"

It's not who Tie Niu is talking about, as for the other three, they are naturally Liu Jiancheng and Liu Wang and Liu Cai.

An Qianshi looked at them and said, "You still came with you, do you want to send you to death so much? I can't guarantee your safety there." ”

"You just want to leave us behind! We've been born and died together, and I think it's safe to follow you. Liu Jiancheng said with a hippie smile.

"Alright then, it's still the old rule, you have to listen to the command, I'll go and ask you for two more upper rooms. An Qianshi said that he was going to go out and arrange a room for them.

Liu Jiancheng hurriedly stopped him and said, "Don't bother, that's it, practice according to the old rules." ”

After saying that, he went straight to the only bed and began to meditate.

An Qianshi could only shake his head helplessly, he and Tie Niu didn't need to meditate, Liu Wang and Liu Cai would definitely not grab the bed with Liu Jiancheng, this guy unceremoniously took the bed.

At this time, An Qianyu was talking to Leng Shuang about this, and Leng Shuang was very surprised when he heard it.

"Qianyu, what you said is true? The Anping Marquis you are going to assassinate is your own brother! ”

Leng Shuang regretted a little that he had brought An Qianyu back to the Bounty Building.

What a coincidence that my sister went to assassinate her own brother, but Qianyu's brother was able to escape Qianyu's assassination, which shows that his strength is also very strong.

After thinking for a while, Leng Shuang took out a finger-sized thing and handed it to An Qianyu and said: "Don't think about it so much now, there is a strange treasure born in the Burning Sky Cave of the Tang Empire, you can go with me to see if you can get it, if you get it, bring it back, I will plead with your master to cancel this transaction, the Burning Sky Cave is hot and unbearable, you will be better with this piece of 10,000-year-old cold jade." ”

Thank you, Aunt Leng!

"I must get that treasure in exchange for my brother's peace. An Qianyu whispered to herself.

"Silly boy, all foreign treasures have their own spirituality, that is what you can get if you think about it, it depends on chance. Cold Frost touched Qianyu's hair lovingly and said.
