Jiang Hu Qi Gong Lu

Chapter 160

The Su sisters' eyes widened. Su Qingmei was not bad. She probably guessed something. Su Qinglan was completely stunned.

To her, the county magistrate is also very big, he is a county magistrate.

The governor of the county is even more terrible, an official who is bigger than the county magistrate.

"Do you think the official of Sandao County can be satisfied?" Lin Xiqi smiled and said, "Let's take this matter slowly. If there is a chance, the official will definitely not let it go."

Chen Changjie breathed a sigh of relief after listening.

He was afraid that Lin Xiqi would get hotheaded and make a big fuss right now.

"Take it easy, there is always a chance, adults have an advantage in age." Chen Changjie said.

Lin Xiqi smiled, he knew what Chen Changjie was thinking.

Chen Changjie is still too conservative. After ten or twenty years, how can he, the county magistrate, become the sheriff.

But this is not what he needs. He said take your time, but it doesn't mean that it will take ten or twenty years, which is too long.

"Go and find out why the county magistrates were summoned to Dunhuang City. It's really unreasonable to ignore this official." Lin Xiqi said coldly.

"Yes!" Chen Changjie bowed and retreated.

"My lord, take a rest, and this servant will make you some tea." Su Qingmei said.

"No need, you can accompany me to the city." Lin Xiqi said.

"Okay, this is the first time I have visited Dunhuang City." Su Qinglan clapped her hands.

Lin Xiqi, Sister Su and Sister Su didn't take any other servants with them, so they went out together.

In the city, disciples of the Red Flame Sect could be seen patrolling from time to time. When they saw someone they thought was suspicious, they immediately stopped them for inspection.

After a little resistance, he took it away.

It can be said that now the disciples of the Chiyan Sect have replaced the government servants.

Lin Xiqi knew that the Sheriff's Office was neutral in this regard. After all, to the Sheriff's Office, they were the court's side. Regardless of whether the Chiyan Sect or the Liushamen won in the end, they still had to find the Sheriff's Office to cooperate.

So they don't pay attention to these things at all.

"My lord, there are a lot of people." Su Qinglan said in surprise as she watched the people coming and going around her.

Su Qingmei didn't make a sound, but her eyes were also full of excitement.

The two of them had never been to any big cities before, especially Dunhuang City, which was a county after all.

"You don't need to call your lord now. Dunhuang City is not as lively as it used to be." Lin Xiqi said.

"Yes, young master." Su Qingmei called out after thinking about it.

If you don't say it, others will not know that Lin Xiqi is an official, no matter how you look at it, he is a son of a rich family.

"Master, there are still many people now." Su Qinglan said.

Under the impact of the Quicksand Gate, Dunhuang City is now much depressed.

"Let's eat first." Lin Xiqi walked to an inn and said.

The two women had no opinion.

After sitting down on the second floor and ordering a few dishes, Lin Xiqi felt a little emotional.

This inn was actually the place where I killed Liu Geng back then, and when I came here again four years later, things have changed, and I am not the same as I was four years ago.

Seeing that Lin Xiqi seemed to be thinking about something, the two women did not dare to disturb, and ate in silence.

"It used to be very lively here." Lin Xiqi suddenly said.

"What this young master said is that this time is almost the time of competition in the city, and it is also the busiest time of the year. Disciples from various sects in Dunhuang County come, and the city is so lively. The inns in the city are full, and many The people in the rivers and lakes came a little late for a long time, and they have no place to live, so they can only find a place outside the city to sleep in the open." After hearing Lin Xiqi's words, a second child couldn't help but answered.

"Oh, how is business now?" Lin Xiqi asked casually.

The Scarlet Flame Sect and the Liusha Sect had a big fight, so how could they have any intentions to hold a competition now, without such a grand event, people from other places in the world would not come here.

"Everything in the past is not as good as it is." Xiaoer said.

"Then you are going to lose money?" Su Qinglan asked.

"Who says it's not?" Xiaoer shook his head and said, "If this goes on like this, I'm afraid this inn won't be able to continue."

"The grievance between the Chiyan faction and the Liushamen seems to be unresolved for a while." Lin Xiqi smiled and said, "You have to be mentally prepared."

"Actually, for us, it doesn't matter which sect wins, isn't it the same?" Xiao Er said, "We just hope to stabilize quickly."

"That's not necessarily the case. I heard that the Chiyan Party is quite polite to the merchants in the city, but the Liushamen is different. The merchants within their range pay a lot of protection fees to the Liushamen every year. If the Liushamen enters Lord Dunhuang City, I'm afraid you will suffer." Lin Xiqi said.

"This?" Xiaoer shook his head and said, "I don't know about these little ones. We also hope that the Chiyan faction can win, after all, we are used to it. But I heard that the quicksand sect is not easy to mess with, and now it is stronger than the Chiyan sect. The faction is still strong, but the Chiyan faction is out this time."

Lin Xiqi smiled and said nothing.

After Xiaoer retreated, Su Qinglan asked in a low voice: "Master, is Liushamen so strong?"

"It was not strong before, but recently it has recruited a lot of masters, and its strength has skyrocketed." Lin Xiqi said.

"Master, must it be related to the Seven Star Sect?" Su Qingmei asked.

"Smart." Lin Xiqi chuckled and said, "The Seven Star Sect is behind the scenes."

"The Seven Star Sect is the leader sect in Liangzhou, and the servants are afraid that the young master will suffer." Su Qingmei said with some concern.

She could probably tell that Lin Xiqi had a very close relationship with the Floating Cloud Sect, and that the Floating Cloud Sect was obviously on the side of the Chiyan Sect, so once the Seven Star Sect intervened, Lin Xiqi would probably be in danger.

"I know it well, you don't need to worry." Lin Xiqi said.

"Master Yao, welcome, please go upstairs." At this moment, Xiaoer's voice came from downstairs.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of the stairs thumping was heard, and four people came up.

Lin Xiqi glanced at it for a while, and found that this was a master and three servants. The young man in front of him, who was less than 20 years old, was obviously the young master Yao in the mouth of the second child.

As for the three servants, they should be guards, and their strength is very average.

So, Lin Xiqi didn't care anymore.

But just because he doesn't care, doesn't mean others won't notice him.

"Huh?" Young Master Yao said in surprise, "I didn't expect there to be such a wonderful pair of sisters in Dunhuang City."

"Master, let them come over to drink with you?" A guard next to him heard what his master said, and understood his temperament very well, said hastily.

"No need, this young master will come in person." After finishing speaking, young master Yao walked directly to Lin Xiqi.

"Little brother, do you mind setting up a table together?" Young Master Yao laughed, and without waiting for Lin Xiqi to agree, he sat down on the empty stool, facing Lin Xiqi.

The expression on Lin Xiqi's face remained unchanged, and she was still eating slowly, but the expressions on the two girls' faces were a bit ugly.

"Dare Yao De to ask the names of the two ladies?" Yao De ignored Lin Xiqi, looked at the two girls and asked with a smile.

"Who told you to sit down?" Su Qinglan said softly.

Hearing this, Yao De smiled even more happily and said, "Miss's angry appearance is so touching, it's really wonderful. The two ladies are not from the local area, right? Otherwise, it's impossible for my young master not to know."

"We are just my young master's maids, not any young lady." Su Qingmei couldn't help saying when she saw that Lin Xiqi was silent.

"Maid?" Yao De was a little surprised when he heard this.

No matter how he sees these two women's clothes, they don't look like servants. In terms of temperament and appearance, they are better than those ladies from rich and powerful families he has seen.
