Chapter 8 Going their Own Way
Since encountering the Black Wind Ride, for the sake of safety, the caravan changed a route, although this route was more than ten days longer than before, but during the period only encountered a few small horse bandits, and it was easy to solve it without relying on Cheng Ming, so it did not encounter any major trouble.
So, after more than a month of long travel, the caravan finally entered the territory of Xiqing Mansion.
This Xiqing Mansion is the easternmost frontier of Xihao Kingdom, a country in the south of Central Continent, but because it is close to the Chuanyi Grassland and the Yangqian Mountains (the south of the Chuanyi Grassland), it is rich in specialties and developed commerce, but it has not become the commercial center of Xihao Country because it has to deal with the southward movement of the grassland tribes every few years.
The day before the caravan arrived at Xiqing Mansion, Wu Xiaozhuang successfully broke through the first layer of Qi training and became a monk, and Cheng Ming also successfully broke through to the fourth layer of Qi training and reached his realm in the surface world.
Entering the territory of Xiqing Mansion, the caravan no longer has to guard against horse bandits, plus there is no need to camp, everyone's spirit is much better.
Like many people who joined the caravan temporarily, after arriving at Xiqing Mansion, Cheng Ming resigned, although Ji Silan tried hard to stay, but Cheng Ming did not agree.
joke, knowing that the Ji family is in trouble, and his sixth sense has also been sensed, he will choose to stay if he has a problem with his brain. Even if Ji Silan had a life-saving grace for him, he would have almost paid it back if he solved the Black Wind Ride, not to mention that he also gave her the exercises that Chengxia majored in.
Unlike the lonely family at the beginning, Wu Zhuangshi's father and son also followed Cheng Ming to say goodbye.
On the way to Xiqing Mansion City again, Cheng Ming asked, "Uncle Wu, what are your plans in the future?"
Wu Zhuang thought for a while and said, "I plan to go back to Yiguan Mansion, I wonder if Xiao Zhuang can follow you?"
Cheng Ming shook his head: "I can't settle down for a while, if I am free in the future, I will go to you." ”
Although they were prepared, Wu Zhuangshi's father and son still seemed very regretful.
In this regard, Cheng Ming can't help it, with the responsibility of master and apprentice, he actually doesn't want to go his separate ways with Wu Xiaozhuang so soon. It's just that he's pressed for time now. In order for him to return to the watch world as soon as possible, he must improve his strength as soon as possible, and in this case, he is definitely not suitable to take Wu Xiaozhuang with him.
Cheng Ming continued: "In addition. I have a suggestion for you, don't enter the city, just spend the night at the inn, and go back when you meet the caravan. ”
Wu Zhuangshi was slightly stunned: "Could it be that something happened over there in Fucheng?"
"I don't know, but I suggest you do as I say. ”
With the restoration of the realm. Cheng Ming felt that his sixth sense had become more and more acute, and because of this, as Youxi Qingfu City got closer and closer, he felt more and more that it was like a powder keg full of explosives, as long as the fuse was lit, a shocking explosion would occur.
"That young lady, they ......," Wu Zhuangshi was a little apprehensive.
Cheng Ming shook his head: "To tell you the truth, the target of the Black Wind Ride is actually the Ji family, even if Miss Ji goes back now, she can't hide from it." Moreover, Miss Ji also knew about this, since she insisted on entering Xiqing Mansion City. That's her problem. ”
"In addition, you don't need to worry too much, I remember that many people in the caravan have signed a deed of freedom, and they can leave if they want, and they are not from the Ji family. Even if the other party wants to deal with the Ji family, he should not use them, otherwise he is afraid that he will provoke public anger. ”
Wu Zhuang thought about it and felt that it made sense, so he said, "Then I will go back to the post station with Xiao Zhuang in a while." ”
"Hmm. I'll go back with you, and I have some things to explain......"
After the Ji family's caravan set off, Cheng Ming and the three returned to the post station after changing their appearance and opened a guest room.
Cheng Ming took out the things that he could give Wu Xiaozhuang around him. Finally, after thinking about it, he handed over a bottle of unused Qi Gathering Pill to Wu Xiaozhuang with some pain, and said some things that need to be paid attention to when using it, so he told him to be careful and not to use it in front of others.
"Xiao Zhuang, as a teacher, I can only help you get here for the time being. I hope you'll surprise me when we see each other again. ”
"Master, don't worry, I won't let you down. Wu Xiaozhuang said with tears in his eyes.
"Okay, I won't say anything superfluous, you take care ......"
Cheng Ming waved his hand, then resolutely turned around and left the post station, and after walking for a while, he stopped, shook his head with a smile.
Thinking that he was only over sixteen years old, after accepting an apprentice, he seemed to have become an adult, and he actually began to get up as a mother-in-law, that feeling is really strange when I think about it.
"Okay, let's take a look at Xiqing Mansion before. ”
Then, Cheng Ming went to Xiqing Mansion with ease. To be honest, he really didn't want to go to Xiqing Mansion at this time, so as not to get involved in trouble. But there is no way, he needs to buy materials for making talismans now, and he also needs to inquire about some information, and the nearest city is still nearly a thousand miles away, and he has to enter this Xiqing Mansion.
Besides, he now has the power to protect himself, so he is not really worried in his heart.
Leisurely admiring the customs of a foreign land all the way, soon, a huge city fell into Cheng Ming's eyes.
I saw that the city wall was dozens of zhang high, and it looked extremely majestic, such a tall city wall, Cheng Ming didn't know how the soldiers of those tribes came to capture it.
However, the facts gave the answer, only to see that most parts of the city wall were pitted, and in some places the color of the city wall was not the same as other places, and it was known at a glance that it was repaired later. This shows the fierceness of the battle at the beginning.
With some amazement, Cheng Ming walked into this city, and then sighed, this Xiqing Mansion is worthy of developed commerce, at a glance, there are shops, many shops in front of the door, there are guys shouting there, some also put some advertising signs, if you don't consider the dress, it really looks like a modern city.
Appreciating the exotic customs all the way, Cheng Ming first found an inn and chartered a small courtyard to live in.
After eating something to fill his stomach, Cheng Ming followed the news he heard from his buddy and came to a grocery store.
This grocery store is located in the middle of nowhere, in the middle of nowhere, and the façade is so small that it's easy to miss without a point.
Besides, with such a façade, ordinary people will not think that there will be anything good inside, and it is difficult to have the idea of going in and finding out.
"It can't be that you met To, right?"
Cheng Ming muttered in his heart, but with the idea that what he came would be safe, he still walked in...... (To be continued.) )
