Pawn Crossing the River

Tucheng has no city guards and does not need any road guide. Anyone can come.

Qi Xuansu put away his armor and horses and entered the city with Qin Xiang who dismounted.

Qi Xuansu asked: "Are the people from the Eight Tribes in this city?"

"Not there." Qin Xiang shook his head and said, "They are outside the city. I stayed in the city for two days before I went to see him."

"He." Qi Xuansu finally asked, "What is the name of this 'him'?"

Qin Xiang hesitated for a moment and replied: "Wei Guan."

Qi Xuansu said: "I've never heard of it. How do you know each other?"

Qin Xiang replied: "I met him when I went to the Taoist temple to offer incense."

Qi Xuansu put away his silver fish talisman: "People from Taoist temples, former Taoist sects, and any secret association are inextricably linked to the Taoist sect."

Qin Xiang said: "I thought he was a member of the Taoist sect at first, so I corresponded with him... If not for this, I would not..."

Qi Xuansu laughed and said, "No? Apart from Tiangang Hall, I am afraid no one would be willing to come to such a large avenue gate. Even if Tiangang Hall comes here, it will not be for sightseeing, but to carry out the duties of the ancestral court." Order to wipe out the secret society here, but you believed his lies."

Qin Xiang was speechless.

Qi Xuansu never asked Qin Xiang's specific identity and origin, but just assumed that she was an official lady. But now that he had mentioned it, he asked: "What about you? What is your origin?"

Qin Xiang blinked and said softly: "My surname is Qin."

"Your surname is Qin Youru..." Qi Xuansu's voice stopped abruptly.

He suddenly remembered something.

There are only three families in the world: the sage's mansion, Shangqing Zhang, and Longcheng Qin.

The Sage's Mansion is the direct bloodline of the Confucian saint. Shangqing Zhang is the Zhang family of Zhengdao that Qi Xuansu just visited. The last Dragon City Qin refers to the Qin family that started in Chaoyang Mansion in Youzhou, which is now the Tianjia royal family. Because Chaoyang Mansion was called Dragon City in ancient times, it was called Dragon City Qin.

Qi Xuansu asked with a strange expression: "Clan?"

Qin Xiang nodded.

Qi Xuansu was silent for a moment and then asked: "Do you have a title?"

"County Lord." Qin Xiang answered honestly.

Qi Xuansu was stunned for a moment.

If he remembered correctly, the daughter of the emperor was granted the title of princess, the daughter of the prince was granted the title of princess, and the daughter of the prince was granted the title of county lord. In other words, Qin Xiang's father was a county king.

Although the vassal system was abolished in this dynasty, and the kings had no fiefdoms or military power, they were given the power to participate in politics. The royal kings were able to hold civil and military official positions, which should not be underestimated.

Today, the princess and the county owner have also been deprived of their fiefdoms, leaving only one title. But after all, she is a clan girl with a noble status, and it is related to the clan's face. If she is really ruined by that group of people here. , I'm afraid it will cause a lot of trouble. For the sake of face, the clan would definitely block the news and might even execute Qin Xiang. However, the clan is not an ordinary family, and they will not knock out their teeth and swallow them in their stomachs. They will inevitably take bloody revenge. And the reasons are all ready-made. This place is not in accordance with the king's law. Just in the name of suppressing bandits, the men in black can be mobilized to wipe out this place openly.

Qin Xiang whispered: "I ran away secretly. If things get too big, I might be detained by the clan government."

Qi Xuansu laughed and said: "You still know the consequences? I thought you were not afraid of anything."

Qin Xiang lowered his head and stopped talking.

Qi Xuansu said: "Then let's leave here before things get too big."

Qin Xiang raised his head and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Qi Xuansu said concisely and concisely: "Run errands for others, find someone to collect a debt."

Qi Xuansu paused and asked, "Have you ever heard of 'Bai Yutang'?"

Qin Xiang shook his head.

Qi Xuansu didn't expect the county chief to know about Bai Yutang. After all, even he, a Jianghu man, had never heard of it, which shows how mysterious it is.

According to Qiniang, "Shangui Yao" is also a member of the Qingping Society, and judging from Qiniang's tone, he is not a C-class member, but probably a B-class member, that is, the holder of the Golden Purple Fish Talisman.

In addition to Qiniang, Qi Xuansu has met two second-class members. One is "Xie Qiuniang", who has cultivated in the stage of returning to her true form. She once fought against Zhang Yuelu and was not significantly disadvantaged. Although she did not know her true identity, Zhang Yuelu recognized her as a member of the Confucian sect and a hermit inheritance. The other one is "Dian Jiang Lip", whose true identity is Li Qingnu, the courtesan of the Imperial Capital raised by the Li family. Although Li Qingnu is only in the Yuxu stage of cultivation, which is similar to Qi Xuansu, her importance does not lie in her cultivation. Why, but her identity. At this point, Qi Xuansu is incomparable.

As for Qiniang, although Qi Xuansu does not know her true identity, she is well-informed and has great magical powers. She also knows many inside stories of Taoism. Qi Xuansu has always suspected that she was once a high-quality Taoist priest of Taoism.

From this, we can see the division of members of the Qingping Association. Members such as D are peripheral members and informal members; members of the C class are formal members but are at the bottom of the formal members; members A are undoubtedly the top leaders of the Qingping Association. The real core members, even the people behind the scenes. Class B members are the elite members of the Qingping Society and are the mainstay.

What Class B members have in common is that they have a good status and have a certain amount of power and connections. In other words, Qi Xuansu is still far from the standard of a second-class member, but Zhang Yuelu just meets the standard.

In this case, what is the identity of "Mountain Ghost Ballad" here? Could it be that he is the lord of a city?

At this moment, several children ran towards the two of them, seemingly playing and playing.

Qin Xiang whispered: "Be careful, these children are here to steal things. When I came here for the first time, they stole a money bag."

Qi Xuansu smiled and remained silent.

A child looked back from time to time to see his companions behind him, and accidentally bumped into Qi Xuansu.

Then this boy who looked to be in his teens clung to Qi Xuansu's body and did not move for a long time. Finally, he raised his head and looked at Qi Xuansu.

Qi Xuansu said calmly: "The strap of the satchel is made of beef tendon mixed with steel wire. It can't be cut with a knife, so you have to use a saw."

There was a look of embarrassment on the child's face, he put away the blade in his hand and took a few steps back.

At the same time, another child passed by Qi Xuansu like a swimming fish.

The child has one more thing in his hands.

A gorgeous hand gun.

The child stopped and held the gun, feeling it was a little hot.

Qi Xuansu turned around and hooked his fingers, signaling the child to return the gun.

But he never thought that the child would suddenly hold the blunderbuss with both hands, point the muzzle at Qi Xuansu, then press the hammer and hook the trigger, his movements were extremely skillful.

The child's face showed a ferocious look that did not match his age, and he said: "Hand over the money!"

The situation changes in just an instant.

The surrounding pedestrians were not surprised and just watched the excitement.

Qi Xuansu was not afraid at all and said: "If you don't dare to fire a gun, then a fire gun is not as useful as a fire stick."

The child shouted: "Stop talking nonsense and hand over the money!"

Qin Xiang had seen the power of this gun, and his heart was already lifted.

But Qi Xuansu just said: "Put down the blunderbuss, I can pretend it never happened."

After all, the child was weak. Even if he held the "Dragon Gun" with both hands, he couldn't hold on for too long. After a while, his arms began to tremble. He closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and pulled the trigger.

There was a gunshot.

When the child opened his eyes, he found that Qi Xuansu had disappeared.

No matter how powerful a gun is, it cannot beat someone into powder with one blow.

Where are people?

The child looked up and around.

Then I heard a voice behind me: "I don't want to repeat it a second time."

The child reacted very quickly. He immediately knelt down on his knees and raised the blunderbuss in his hands: "I was wrong. I was blind. Sir, you have more. Please spare me this time."

Qi Xuansu reached out and took his gun without saying anything.

He has seen this kind of thing a lot. Some people specialize in training children to do this kind of thing. Generally speaking, few people will hurt their children. At most, they will give them a beating, then they will have nothing to lose and can use nothing.

Qi Xuansu loaded his gun and said, "Don't let me see you again."

Several children ran away in a hurry.

The spectators gradually dispersed.

Qin Xiang then came closer and looked at Qi Xuansu's hand: "This is the 'Dragon Hand Gun', it can only be worn by guerrillas."

Qi Xuansu glanced at her: "There are plenty of them on the black market."

"I've been to the black market." Qin Xiang said seriously, "The guns sold on the black market have all had their numbers erased, but yours doesn't."

Qi Xuansu lowered his head and glanced. Sure enough, there was a string of inconspicuous small characters on the handle, including the heavenly stems and earthly branches plus the year, month and numbers.

This "Shenlong Gun" was indeed not bought from the black market, but was produced by the authentic Tianji Hall.

Qi Xuansu didn't say anything, just put the blunderbuss back into its holster.

Under the leadership of Qin Xiang, the two came to the door of an inn. Qin Xiang said: "I live in this inn. It should not be a black shop."

Qi Xuansu was a little funny and wanted to say that you knew a shitty black shop, but after thinking about it, he still saved some face for the county boss. After all, he is the head of the county, so there is no harm in being a little more sophisticated. If you form a good relationship, you may be able to use it one day. There is no need to turn a good relationship into an evil one just for the sake of quick talk.

Entering the inn, Qi Xuansu immediately felt a familiar feeling of déjà vu.

This inn seems not to be an ordinary inn, nor the Taiping Inn, but that "inn".

It is also an "inn" that specializes in special transactions.

Qi Xuansu's trip to Fengtai County started at the "Inn".

Qi Xuansu looked around. There were not many people in the lobby, but they all looked fierce and murderous.

Qi Xuansu glanced at Qin Xiang with a strange expression, and couldn't help but imagine the scene at that time. A stupid young man broke into the "inn" and asked for accommodation. The key is that the "inn" actually let her stay for two days.

"What, is there a problem?" Qin Xiang subconsciously touched her face and found that there was nothing dirty. She became more and more confused because she felt that Qi Xuansu's eyes were not like those of a man appreciating a woman, but more like those of a fool. look.

Qi Xuansu looked back and said, "There is no problem. This is indeed not a black shop."
