Chapter Twenty-Three: He's More Than a Steward
Xu Yunxiao took the Xuanzhuan token and said worriedly: "In two hours, the trial will be over, according to previous years, the students will rest at the entrance of the Black Bone Rock for a night, and set off tomorrow to return to the junior school, full of calculations, big brother, you only have less than four days, is it really necessary?"
Xu Yunxiao thought about it again and again, he suggested that Chen Xian should not take risks, and directly reveal the news of the Black Moon God Ring in the Rongchang pawnshop to the aristocratic class, and then let the aristocratic class redeem it by themselves.
After all, the Black Moon God Ring is an ancient treasure, Rong Kui doesn't know it, to put it lightly, let Chen Xian go and retrieve it within ten days. But the stewards of Rongchang's pawnshop are all elites, and once the Black Moon God Ring is seen by them, it will definitely not let Chen Xian take it back easily.
Chen Xian was also worried, and sighed and said, "So I can't delay any longer, I have to find Rong Kui before he shows the Divine Ring to outsiders." ”
"And ......" Chen Xianyan paused, pursed his lips before continuing: "Yan Xiang saved my life, but I don't know what she looks like, I want to say thank you to her in person." ”
"Big brother, Yan Xiang is just testing medicine, not really trying to save you. Xu Yunxiao frowned, and said in a deep voice: "I heard earlier that several disciples of the Vermilion Bird Medicine King all tested medicine on living people, and this Yan Xiang is a famous alchemy genius, and I don't know how many living people died at her hands. ”
"Trying the medicine on the living?" Chen Xian paused, and couldn't help but shudder a little in his heart.
"Yes, but I also heard that Yan Xiang mostly tested medicine on death row inmates in prison, which is still a bit virtuous compared to her senior brothers directly taking innocent people to test medicine, but that's all. Xu Yunxiao obviously didn't have a good impression of the Vermilion Bird Medicine King, or he was worried that Chen Xian was indeed saved by Yan Xiang, so he didn't say anything ugly.
Chen Xian also understood that before he was resurrected and awakened, Yan Xiang fed more than a dozen pills into his throat. She was indeed trying the medicine, but the result was that she succeeded in trying and brought Chen Xian back to life.
"Anyway, she saved my life after all. Xiao Xiao, you help me take care of it, I'll go back quickly, and get the Divine Ring back before you return to the Beginner School. ”
Chen Xian said, Xu Yunxiao no longer persuaded him, hugged his fists to say goodbye, and watched Chen Xian leave.
It takes three days to walk from the Black Bone Rock to Jiuyang City, but Chen Xian used the light body exercise of "Imperial Walking" to jump straight to the Jiuwu Mountains, and it only took three hours to return to Jiuyang City.
Jiuyang City is divided into two cities, north and south, the south city is a private residence, and the north city is nestled on a huge mountain, which is where the beginner's school and Qingchong palace are located.
In this way, the simplicity of the Nancheng dwellings also exudes a breath of iron and blood, it is used as the last line of defense against foreign enemies attacking the Qingchong Palace, with huge heavy stones to build a city wall, the Nancheng dwellings are divided into the outer city, the middle city and the inner city.
The outer city is inhabited by the poor, the middle city is where the ordinary people or the families of the disciples of the Qingchong sect live, and the inner city is the right to be enjoyed by the rich and noble.
Class society is perfectly embodied in the pattern of Jiuyang City, Chen Xian walked through the outer city wall, stepped through the bluestone brick streets, walked in this general middle city similar to a military defense fortress, and walked towards the inner city.
However, not everyone could enter the inner city, and hundreds of iron horsemen patrolled outside the inner city walls, inspecting every pedestrian who approached the inner city.
"Do you have a token?" the Iron Rider Guard asked when he saw Chen Xianxing coming.
Chen Xian took out the token of the twenty-fifth group of the Gui class from his bosom and said, "The junior school is in charge." ”
"No, only the Qingyu Order can enter the inner city. After glancing at Chen Xian's token, the Iron Rider Guard replied coldly.
"Why not? The rules say that the steward's order can enter the inner city as a green jade order. Chen Xian asked rhetorically.
The guard snorted, and said expressionlessly: "That refers to the management order of the 'A, B, C, D' team, you are a little class, what are you going to do in the inner city?"
"The beginner class is not graded, and you don't have the authority to know why I entered the city. Chen Xian's voice was dry, and his heart was inexplicably angry, although he knew that this was the secular vision of class society, but it did not mean that Chen Xian could accept it willingly.
The guard knocked on the saber with a "bang", and said disdainfully: "You are a little deb, is it possible that you still have relatives in the inner city?"
"Can't you go in without relatives? My steward's decree is that you can enter the inner city, and you have no right to stop me. ”
Chen Xian had a cold attitude, and when the guards saw this, they couldn't help but frown angrily. At this time, another guard approached and persuaded: "Don't be angry, it's all a family of the Qingchong faction." ”
The guard smiled and squinted his eyes, looking friendly, but Chen Xian knew that this person was here to sing red face.
"Little brother, how arrogant the nobles in the inner city are, you are treated as a beggar when you enter the inner city, why bother to find yourself boring. The red-faced guard got off the horse and bent down in front of Chen Xian, as if he had the intention of coaxing a child.
And the white-faced guard also cooperated just right, and said coldly: "The little beggar is overestimated, I see that when he enters the city, nine times out of ten, he will be regarded as a plague pest by those nobles." ”
"Isn't that just right!" Chen Xian smiled: "The nobles are proud, my plague scares them, and it can be regarded as a joke of the nobles." ”
Chen Xian said, and was about to enter the city, the white-faced guard drew his sword and pointed directly at Chen Xian, and scolded: "You dare to take another step forward, don't blame me for being polite." ”
The blade of the sword pointed, and a strange wind suddenly rose.
Chen Xian stopped and looked back, and then entered the inner city on his own.
The guards were surprised, they could all feel that the strange wind that suddenly came was someone operating to cultivate qi, but looking at Chen Xian's movements, it didn't seem that the wind was coming.
Just wondering, Gu Tianyao, who was behind them at this time, coughed lightly and asked, "Who dares to be unkind to the steward of our hospital?"
The guards were startled, hurriedly turned around, clasped their fists in front of Gu Tianyao, and saluted: "I've seen Master Gu." ”
"Don't be hypocritical, didn't you despise the steward of our hospital just now?" Gu Tianyao didn't have a good face, and the guards didn't dare to answer when they saw this, so they just buried their heads and didn't dare to face Gu Tianyao.
Gu Tianyao took a step forward and said, "Don't say that I didn't remind you, the person who went in just now was not only the steward of the twenty-five group courtyards, one day in the future, he might throw you to the frontier and let you guard our Qingchong faction domain in the bitter cold." ”
Gu Tianyao said, and also entered the inner city, leaving the guards to stay where they were.
You must know that Gu Tianyao is the proudest person in the Qingchong faction, he is not only a disciple of the inner sect of the Chongzong Palace, but also a close confidant of Qing Yangren, and one of the candidates for the next head of the sect.
The guards couldn't help but guess that anyone with a role like Gu Tianyao had to grovel, but just now the steward just glanced back at Gu Tianyao coldly, and then went into the city by himself, not caring about Gu Tianyao at all.
"Could it be...... Is it a private interview with a big man?" Thinking of this, the guards couldn't help but feel a thrill all over their bodies, and they felt deeply afraid.
