After Xu Yan entered the city, the time was approaching.

In the sky, the snow is still heavy.

But the entire Wangchuan City was very lively at a glance, and the crowds on the streets were shoulder to shoulder, and they were not swept away by the wind and snow at the moment.

Walking into the downtown area, because it was a meal, there was a fragrance everywhere in various wine shops and inns, which made Xu Yan, who had been on the road for a day, a little nervous about his mouth.

Wangchuan Castle is huge.

There is no end in sight, and a big city that can accommodate millions of people is naturally not comparable to other towns and cities.

Just on foot, it is to walk in a straight line from the south gate to the north gate, and if you don't have a few days, you can't walk at the end.

Xu Yan entered Wangchuan City from the south gate, and naturally he was in Nancheng District at the beginning, which is not the most prosperous area in the county, because the most prosperous circle is in the middle circle of the county, where there are not only the most high-end Goolan Fengyue places, but also a variety of famous food buildings.

Xu Yan didn't plan to go to Chen Qinghe's house today, there were two reasons, one was that if he didn't find a carriage to travel, he wouldn't be able to catch up tonight, and the other was that there were still many unresolved things on him that he wanted to solve first.

In Wangchuan City, there is a very famous inn, called Fulu Inn, but this inn is not only one, but in the southeast, northwest and northwest districts of the county, each has one.

After Xu Yan entered the city, he went directly to the Fulu Inn in Nancheng District, and then ordered dinner, but he didn't plan to eat outside, but asked the little second in the store to send it to his house after the meal was ready.

In the Fulu Inn, the classification grade of the room is very strict, and it is classified into four grades, heaven, earth, Xuan, and yellow.

Among them, the Tianzi room is the most expensive, Xu Yan glanced at the price list engraved on the sign slightly, and was speechless in his heart, because it was written that the Tianzi room was divided into four rooms, which were named "Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter", which was exactly the same as the names of the four major factions in their sect, but the price of their stay for one night was a bit expensive, as high as ten taels of silver.

Although Xu Yan still had a lot of silver taels on his body, he would not be so extravagant and wasteful, so in the end, he chose a Xuanzi room.

A room of this grade costs only one or two silver for one night.

As for why he didn't choose the yellow room that he could stay in for a night for only five dollars, only God knows.

After Xu Yan was taken to the room by Xiao Er in the store, Xiao Er had already said goodbye with a smile, but before leaving, he said that the meal might take about two minutes before it was delivered to his room, of course, he did not forget to explain the specific reason, saying that it is now at the peak, and it is approaching the end of the year, there are not a few people who come to the county town to buy New Year's goods, and their Fulu Inn is the inn with the largest number of passers-by, so in terms of service, it may be relatively worse than on weekdays.

Xu Yan naturally didn't care about the length of time it took to serve the food, so he smiled and said that it didn't matter, even if it was more than two quarters of an hour in the end, he wouldn't blame them, as long as it didn't take more than two hours.

Seeing that he was so easy to get along with, the good impression in his heart also soared, so he naturally paid more attention to his affairs.

In the end, almost a quarter of an hour had passed, and the shopkeeper personally delivered Xu Yan's meal again.

After Xu Yan saw this, he thanked him and took the meal, but he didn't forget to reward him with two coins of silver, which made the shopkeeper's heart even more happy.

I have to say that the food in the Fulu Inn is indeed very delicious, this is basically the best meal Xu Yan has eaten so far since he went north, of course, its price is by no means comparable to ordinary restaurants.

After Xu Yan finished eating, Xiao Er came over to take away the dinner plate as usual, and then practiced on the bed.

All the way north, except after nightfall every day, he has very little time for him to practice, so after so many months, he has never successfully broken through the cultivation that was already close to the bottleneck, which makes him a little bittersweet.

The joy is due to the fact that his own foundation is becoming more and more solid, and the worry is that the current realm is still too low.

Especially after entering Jinxi Town, he also met Yan Fu, the head of the Yan family, as for what kind of masters were waiting for him after Yan Fu, he couldn't predict it at all.

Yan Fu is a seven-story late-stage sword cultivator, and it is difficult to say whether a master of this level can successfully take over the next move in terms of Xu Yan's realm at this moment. Of course, it is not reasonable to compare them like this, after all, in terms of Xu Yan's age at the moment, in fact, he has the current realm, which is already quite exaggerated, after all, he is still more than half a month away from the age of seventeen, but he is already a double cultivator of the peak of the four-story peak of the sword path and the peak of the five-grade realm of the martial arts.

"I don't know if those people dare to blatantly come to me for trouble, I hope they will be bolder, this is better than I will be overwhelmed by then. ”

Xu Yan sat cross-legged on the bed of the inn and whispered before settling down.

......

In the western part of Wangchuan City, in a mansion that looked full of majesty, a man was sitting in his study at the moment, listening to his subordinates report to him all the situation in this county town today.

As usual, after he heard most of the events, there were no special events in the city, which made his heart feel a little relieved, after all, now that the New Year was approaching, he didn't want any more emergencies to happen under his nose. And the most important thing is that as long as this year is over, the responsibilities he is carrying at the moment will be completely over, and from the year of the name, he can completely leave this county town and return to his home.

He had been here for a full ten years, and his purpose was nothing more than for the benefit of the family, and now he could finally retire successfully.

"Have you reported everything?"

Just after his nephew Su Qinghuan's voice completely stopped, Su Tang, who was sitting on the main seat, asked.

When Su Qinghuan heard this, he immediately replied: "If you go back to Uncle, the things I have collected in my hands have been reported." ”

Su Tang nodded with satisfaction, but there was still a bit of seriousness on his face and said: "Although in recent months, nothing special or bad has happened in the city, but seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming soon, we must be more cautious, we must not be careless, only when someone is sent from above to take over my position, we can relax." ”

Su Qinghuan was the only one who said yes to this, and on the other hand, he said humbly: "Yes, uncle! The nephew knows the priority of the matter, and he will never dare to miss the uncle's big thing." ”

Su Tang has always been very satisfied with this nephew, and now that he has matured so much after following him for many years, he is naturally even more pleased, and even said: "Okay, since there is nothing else, you can go back to eat early, it's not too early." ”

Su Qinghuan knew that his uncle didn't need to eat for a long time, but he was still a big distance from the seven-story building, so he had to be the same as a mortal in the market, so he naturally couldn't do without three meals a day, so he replied: "Yes, uncle!"

However, just when Su Qinghuan had just walked out of his uncle's study, in the courtyard at the door, Chunzhi, the boy in charge of his uncle's usual summons, hurriedly ran to the study, and carried a letter in his hand.

Chunzhi saw that Su Qinghuan was about to leave, so he hurriedly handed the letter in his hand to him and said, "Young Master, this is the information that has just come from the guards at the south gate, saying that there is a very urgent matter over there to report to the second master. ”

When Su Qinghuan heard him say this, he stretched out his hand to take the letter, but frowned and asked, "Did the person who sent the letter say anything else?"

Chunzhi shook his head and replied, "No, the messenger only said this to me, but the other person should still be waiting outside the door now, do you want me to send him in and reply?"

Zhang Qinghuan had already opened the letter in his hand when Chunzhi spoke, and after he saw the content of the letter, his face changed instantly, and he said sternly to Chunzhi: "Quick, you go and take the person who delivered the letter to the side hall and let him stand by inside." ”

Seeing his serious expression, the waiter Chunzhi replied "yes" and hurried to the door again.

Inside the study.

Su Tang, who had already received the letter from Su Qinghuan's hand and read it carefully, instantly slapped the tea case and shouted: "How can this be reasonable, it is simply unreasonable! This son An dares to be so blatant and kill the commander of the army of our dynasty, it is simply too rampant!"

Zhang Qinghuan saw that his uncle was angry, and on the surface, his face was as calm as water, he hesitated for a moment before he asked tentatively: "Uncle, although this person has the identity of participating in next year's dynasty event, but since he dares to kill people in our army in advance, can we also take this opportunity to find a reason to take him, anyway, when the time comes, we can really trace it back, and we can also find a lot of reasons to prevaricate." ”

When Su Tang heard this, he shook his head solemnly after a long time, and replied bluntly: "You can't do this, just kill a mere army chief, this kind of thing is too insignificant, with our identity, if we don't take the initiative to protect his safety, we can't say anything, how can we still attack him? If this is known today, we can't find any reason to refute it, besides, that Wu Chang, most of the people have also accepted some benefits, so they dare to offend that young man, otherwise who will easily kill him?" If this kind of thing is sent on an errand, it will be too easy to find out. ”

Su Qinghuan's face was full of confusion, and asked: "Then can we just watch him be so arrogant and domineering, but he can't do anything, if he is allowed to enter Yong'an City smoothly, then the Gao family, how can we reply to them?"

Su Tang said in a heavy tone: "Since they can buy the people in the army, they must have known about the young man's entry into the city now, don't worry, they are much more anxious than us, besides, this young man still has a long way to go if he wants to leave Lingzhou, and there is enough for a lot of things to happen along the way, we just need to wait and see what happens." ”

After Su Tang finished speaking, he paused for a moment before continuing: "Actually, compared to thinking about these precautions, what I am more curious about is how this young man escaped Yan Fu's interception, you know, Yan Fu Lao'er is a real seven-story sword cultivator, but now, only he came to this county town unharmed." ”
