The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 635 Battle
However, at this time, in addition to Zheng Qingyan, there were two other female heroes at the entrance of Haifeng Tower.

Yan Hongxia, who was wearing a red Flying Fish official uniform, and Ming Xueling, who was wearing a plain white dress and a veil.

It was not surprising that Sister Hongxia wanted to accompany Zhao Chen. As the head of the "Daoguan Office" in Yumen, she was usually free to move around, but if she wanted to enter the territory of the Nine Provinces of the Central Plains, she had to accept a mission as a "reason", otherwise she would not be able to pass.

After all, the secret mission issued by Lord Pingzhang cannot be announced openly, right?
But why did Ming Xueling follow? Zhao Chen looked at the girl who looked more and more like a "human" with some surprise. She seemed to be in seclusion in recent days. It was unknown whether she was studying the complete "Senluo Wanxiang" magical power or concocting the soul of "Zhen Fan".

Seeing Zhao Chen's suspicious expression, Ming Xueling glanced at Zheng Qingyan, who then said calmly, "I asked her to come along."

What are you hiding? Zhao Chen figured it out. Although this dragon girl appeared cold and indifferent on the surface, she was actually a "sly and mean" person who liked to watch "fun" in secret.

This should not be Fei Meng's character, but Zheng Qingyan's original "attribute".

In comparison, that evil woman Qin Sheng is much more straightforward in her words and deeds.

Seeing that Zheng Qingyan had ordered the waiters at Haifenglou to bring out four horses, Zhao Chen couldn't help but ask, "Are you hiding something from me again?"

"You'll know when you get to the government office...it's not a bad thing." Zheng Qingyan's expression remained unchanged, and he spoke calmly as he climbed onto his horse.

But the excitement in her eyes still betrayed her desire to have fun.

It seems that the lesson was not enough... Should I keep two of the remaining "spell slots" to practice the "techniques" in the "Cai Nu Tian Shu"? Zhao Chen pondered with a "dangerous" look in his eyes.

Soon, four horses with the blood of monsters carried a man and three women out from the small path in front of Haifeng Tower, then got on the official road and headed straight for the gate of Liangzhou City.

Since the four of them all know flying spells, why don't they just fly directly into the air?

That’s because Liangzhou City is not only the provincial capital, but also the residence of aristocratic families. There are no-fly magic arrays within a radius of hundreds of miles, and the four districts in the inner city even block most of the space magical powers.

This was also the main reason why Wang Daoyi transformed into a divine wind that night but could only go around the city.

Yan Hongxia pointed at the city gate in the distance and said to Zhao Chen, who was riding side by side with her, with a smile: "This can be regarded as letting you feel the atmosphere of the Central Plains in advance."

She had been to Zhongyuan for business before and was familiar with the "rules" there. She could even say that she was deeply impressed by them.

Zhao Chen's heart moved, and he asked curiously: "Are the cities in the Central Plains and the Nine Provinces also managed as strictly as Xiliang City?"

"Strict? Xiliang City's restrictions can't be called strict. Most of the counties in the Central Plains have more rules than here, not to mention those big cities!" Yan Hongxia manipulated the reins while transmitting her voice, "Let me put it this way, in the Nine Provinces of the Central Plains, if a fight breaks out between cultivators in the street, even if no ordinary people are injured by mistake, it's not like here where you can just pay a fine and let it go. If there is no legitimate reason, at least the Six Gates will detain you for a few days and record a 'demerit'.

"If the number of 'sins' accumulates, the lightest punishment is to be expelled from Kyushu, and the worst is to be exiled to the real borderland to do hard labor and cannon fodder.

"Seriously speaking, this is how the alien camp in Dunhuang first came about...

"However, Dunhuang is one of the best places among all the places of exile. After all, although it is called a frontier, it is not too dangerous."

Although the Nine Provinces of the Central Plains do not prohibit fighting between cultivators, they are required not to fight in densely populated places such as cities... Of course, this does not apply for applying for a life and death competition.

The only ones allowed to take action in the street are monks with law enforcement powers.

"No wonder Lord Zheng reminded me to take on the mission of hunting down fugitives..." Zhao Chen nodded in understanding.

No matter how strict the rules are, there will naturally be loopholes. As a Taoist official who is hunting down fugitives, even if I violate the law, there is always a way to "get around" it as long as the consequences are not too serious.

The four of them rode their horses at full speed, but they always found gaps under their exquisite control to avoid pedestrians and vehicles, and they didn't even slow down. The monks passing by on the official road immediately understood what was going on, knowing that these four were at least masters of the Gangsha realm who had cultivated "spiritual consciousness", otherwise they would never have been able to do this.

They just look very strange and don't seem like locals.

"It should be a young man from another state... Could it be that he came to see the duel between 'New Moon Sword' Shi Tianzong and 'Light Clouds and Sparse Rain' Feng Wuxian?"

“Maybe… But as a descendant of the Sima family’s in-laws, although ‘New Moon Sword’ practices the ‘Moonlight Treasure Spring’, his reputation is not that great, and he can only barely squeeze into the bottom of the Liangzhou Rookie List.

"And the 'Light Clouds and Sparse Rain' Feng Wuxian is only somewhat famous in Ganzhou... If she hadn't come to Liangzhou last year, I'm afraid no one here would recognize her.

"It's rare that this can attract people from other states to come and watch the game."

"Speaking of which, do the two of them have any grudge against each other? Why did they openly challenge each other to a fight?"

"I know that... Shi Tianzong once asked Feng Wuxian to marry him, but was rejected. But he recently spread rumors about Feng Wuxian, and the angry 'Wei Yun Shu Yu' posted a message to challenge him to a duel."

"This... Shi Tianzong's actions are really dishonest."

"Hey, Young Master Shi is actually a good person. I think this might have been done by his mother, Sima Jinghui, the daughter of the Sima family.

“That young lady had a bad temper before she got married, and she even bullied people from the Sima family’s side branch.

"She became more restrained after getting married, but it's hard to change one's nature!"

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I think you're drunk."

A few drinkers in a roadside restaurant looked at the receding backs of Zhao Chen and his three companions, chatted casually for a few words, but quickly changed the subject.

……

In a small courtyard in the southern area of ​​Xiliang City, the two protagonists of the "battle" gathered here.

Shi Tianzong, who had a pair of light blue eyes but looked completely like a Daxia person, smiled bitterly and sighed, "Sister Wuxian, you have to believe me, I really didn't let anyone spread that rumor..."

Feng Wuxian looked to be around twenty years old, full of vigor and youth, with a delicate and elegant face. Her lotus-colored dress was simple and refreshing and natural.

She nodded slightly: "I know... and thank you for accepting this 'challenge'."

Otherwise I wouldn’t have found a reason to come to Xiliang City... I’ve been away from “Bai Hua Pu” for too long, and I can already feel that my body is about to undergo a change... Fortunately, the new “master” is nearby.

“Although I didn’t do it, my mother was also behind it… How about this, we will pretend to fight in the evening, and then I will admit defeat and wash away those rumors that are unfavorable to you.” Shi Tianzong said solemnly.

He really liked the other person, but unfortunately they were not destined to be together.

"No need... Since we've made an appointment, let's fight seriously." Feng Wuxian glanced at the other party and said with some melancholy in her tone, "I don't blame your mother... because those are not rumors.

"I was indeed captured by the outer sect steward of the Flower God Sect for over a month..."
