Two days later, outside a medium-sized city in Zhao State, a middle-aged man in a light brown cloth shirt and a beard raised his head to look at the two big characters hanging above the city - Wancheng. A smile of surprise appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"It shouldn't be far from Yedu, right?" the middle-aged man muttered to himself as he looked at the crowd of people coming and going at the city gate.

Who is this person who is not Cao Qian? As for why he became like this, he himself is indescribable.

Cao Qian looked at himself a little helplessly, his life has not been easy in the past two days, Chen Tai and his subordinates have been closely following him, so that his nerves have to be tense all the time, once relaxed his vigilance a little, almost trapped, thanks to him took advantage of their encirclement has not yet fully formed before he desperately broke out, but he still suffered some injuries.

After that, Cao Qian no longer dared to take it lightly, and for the sake of safety, he had to dress up like this.

Cao Qian helplessly looked at the Zixiao Sword on his waist that was wrapped by him with broken steps so that he couldn't see it clearly, and remembered that the culprit of the whole thing was now hiding inside and watching all this that happened to him, and his heart was unbalanced.

If it weren't for Zixiao's insistence on going to Chen's Mansion to "find a place", how could this series of bad things happen in the future? I could have gone to Yedu quietly and smoothly, and I could have enjoyed the scenery along the way and experienced the customs and customs. What a pleasure that would be!

And now, let alone looking at the scenery, there is no time to drink saliva......

However, it has already happened, and it is useless to think about it. Cao Qian shook his head and strode into the city gate.

"Little Er, a pot of tea, two steamed buns"

In a tea shed in the city, Cao Qian casually found a place to sit down and ordered a pot of tea and two steamed buns. Then his eyes fell on the crowd of people coming and going on the street.

"Chen Tai, they're almost here......"

Cao Qian pondered for a moment, although he had disguised himself now, but with Chen Tai's veteran experience and vision, I am afraid that it would only be a matter of time before he found out. I went to Yecheng on this trip, but I have a mission. If it is destroyed by Chen Tai......

"It seems that this problem must be solved as soon as possible, otherwise, it will be a bit difficult to do! It's just that with his current cultivation, he is not Chen Tai's opponent at all? What should I do......

Cao Qian frowned, if he broke through to the eighth layer of qi refining, there might still be some possibilities, but how could it be so easy to break through.

"Guest, the tea and steamed buns you want"

Just when Cao Qian was entangled and depressed, Xiao Er sent tea and steamed buns. "Forget it, don't think about it yet"

Cao Qian shook his head and sorted out his thoughts, according to his understanding, although Wancheng is only a medium-sized city, because of its special geographical location, its prosperity is not inferior to that of ordinary large cities.

You must know that Wancheng can be regarded as the gateway to Yedu, the capital of Zhao State, as long as Wancheng passes, the entire Yedu will be exposed to the field of vision, so many big families of Zhao State have their own bases in Wancheng, trying to choke this lifeline of Zhao State.

Here Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, the surface is calm, but in fact, there are dark waves surging in secret, and the major families coexist peacefully on the surface, but in fact, they are secretly-for-tat everywhere.

Of course, the struggle between the big families of the Zhao State naturally had nothing to do with Cao Qian. But if you can use it reasonably, or you can solve your biggest headache now......

The Zhao family, the Li family, the Chu family, the Zhou family, the Lin family, these five families are the five largest families in the Zhao State, the Zhao family is the royal family of the Zhao State, and the power is the first of the five major families, the Li family and the Zhou family are also the two leading families in the political arena of the Zhao State, and the Chu family and the Lin family are the real power of the military.

Since ancient times, there have been contradictions between the military and the government that are difficult to reconcile, and the military is not accustomed to the government talking on paper all day long, thinking that good men should fight on the battlefield and shroud themselves in horse leather. In their view, the so-called good policy of stabilizing the country is just empty words, and the country is won by fists, not by mouth.

In the same way, the political side thinks that the people in the military are a group of big and rough people, shouting and killing all day long, with no brute force, full of foul language, and it is simply a shame to live with them.

Therefore, naturally, the Li family and the Zhou family have close contacts in private, and the relationship between the Chu family and the Lin family is also relatively good. And the undercurrent of Wancheng can also be understood as a confrontation between the military and the government.

After Cao Qian had eaten, he turned around and walked towards the inn, having made up his mind, he was going to settle down here first, and then wait for an opportunity to find an opportunity, otherwise, with the grudge he had with the Chen family, I am afraid that even if he ran to the ends of the earth, Chen Tai would definitely not let him go.

"Hey, chick, you look pretty handsome, how about playing with your buddies?"

Cao Qian was about to find an inn to live in first, a word with a rogue tone came into his ears, and he forgot about it, and in the alley on the side, several ruffians were full of lewd smiles on their faces, looking at a seventeen or eighteen-year-old woman obscenely, and their hands were still a little dishonest towards the woman's pretty face.

"No, don't, don't come"

The woman's frightened voice came, and although the street was full of pedestrians, they all pretended not to see it. After all, there are too many such facts, and meddling in things will definitely cause a commotion.

"Alas~"

Cao Qian clenched his fingers, sighed, and walked towards the alley.

Looking at the few ruffians in front of him who were not good people at first glance, Du Xue was really about to collapse, and she came out to grab medicine for her mother, but she didn't expect to encounter such a thing.

Seeing that her call for help had no effect, Du Xue closed her eyes in despair, she didn't resent anyone, because no one wanted to get involved in trouble.

Thinking that her body was about to be defiled by these filthy scum in front of her, Du Xue's right hand grabbed a hairpin on the cuff, if she really couldn't escape fate, then she might as well die! Even if she died, she had to keep her innocence!

"Hey, how many of you, even my woman wants to move?"

Just as Du Xue was about to die to keep her innocence, a seemingly casual word sounded in her ears.

"Huh?"

Several ruffians looked at Du Xue's pitiful appearance, and they were itching, ready to correct Du Xue on the spot, who knew that such a discordant voice would sound behind them, and they were suddenly in a bad mood.

"What nosy eye-opener!"

The leading ruffian glanced back at Cao Qian and said viciously. Looking at Cao Qian's inconspicuous appearance, he must have no background, so he was not polite.

"You're touching my woman, you say I'm nosy?"

"Your woman?"

The leading ruffian glanced at Du Xue, and then at Cao Xue.

"A flower is inserted in cow dung, and your woman will be mine in the future!"

The leading ruffian looked at Cao Qian and said domineeringly.

And the moment the leading ruffian turned around, Cao Qian finally saw the woman's appearance clearly.

A black and green silk, light eyebrows, bright eyes like a bright moon, a small and delicate nose bridge, thin lips, a trace of panic on the beautiful and delicate face, the neat sideburns on the forehead also looked a little messy because of the struggle just now, and a gray-white cloth coat added a messy beauty to the ordinary.

It's not as beautiful as Zixiao's stunning, giving people an illusory and unreal feeling. Du Xue's beauty is an ordinary and real beauty, which makes people look comfortable, relaxed, and simple.
