Cannon fodder apprentice reborn

Song Xinting saw that Ruan Qiu's face suddenly became ugly, showing a look of defense, and asked Ruan Qiu in a low voice, "Do you know each other?"

Ruan Qiu turned away the sadness in his eyes, coughed lightly, and was about to speak when Tang Xun walked over and said, "I know, I sent him to Yimengju last time."

Song Xinting and Axi may not know what Yimengju is, but Ruan Qiu knows, to avoid misunderstanding his brother, before Tang Xun can say anything, he hurriedly said: "Boss Tang! Do you know this kid? Know his family?" Where is it?"

It was rare for Song Xinting to see Ruan Qiu so anxious, and he felt a little weird, but seeing that the child's condition was really bad, he thought that Ruan Qiu was nervous about the child, and didn't ask any more questions about Yimengju.

Speaking of this child, Tang Xun's face darkened, "Don't touch him, this is the baby bump of the city lord's mansion, if you hurt half a point, I will have to settle accounts with you, just wait, someone went to the city guards, very soon Someone will come to pick him up soon."

I heard that they are from the city lord's mansion. Ruan Qiu, who was kicked out by the governor of the city lord's mansion not long ago, didn't dare to be careless. Light armor, it really is the guard of the city lord's mansion.

The one who brought them over was a plainly dressed boy, panting from running, and hurriedly reported to Tang Lai, "Boss shopkeeper, someone is coming!"

Ruan Qiu was still holding the child, and was a little at a loss for a while, when he saw a white-haired man walking out of the guards of the city lord's mansion, he smiled kindly when he saw Tang Xun, "I guessed that the young master would come here, this time I will trouble you again Tang, when did you return to the city?"

Tang Xun refrained from the meanness and cunning that seemed to dislike everyone in the past, stood up straight, and responded obediently: "I just came back two days ago, why did Mr. Song come here in person? There are old wounds, you should take good care of them.”

Elder Song looked at the sleeping child in Ruan Qiu's arms, and sighed with a smile: "The young master is a major event in the city lord's mansion, of course I have to come. Xiao Tang, you have also seen that the city lord is not in good health recently, come back and take a look when you have time. He misses you too."

Tang Xun's smile disappeared immediately, and he replied vaguely, and said to Ruan Qiu: "What are you doing in a daze, return the person to Song Lao."

Ruan Qiu looked confused, and could only hear that Song Lao was familiar with Tang Xun, and Tang Xun had a good relationship with the city lord, so he obediently handed over the child in his arms to Song Lao.Elder Song smiled kindly, thanked him with a nod, and carefully picked up the child.

"Thank you, fellow daoist, for taking care of my young master."

Elder Song is old, and his body is still very strong. He carried the child with one hand, and he still had a very comfortable smile on his face. Obviously, he also has cultivation.Ruan Qiu couldn't see through it, and only guessed that Song Lao's cultivation base must be far superior to him, so he stood aside with Song Xinting and A Xi and didn't make a sound. The government soldiers left.

As soon as everyone left, Ah Xi was relieved on the spot. She was young and her cultivation level was low, and it was not her fault that the guards were menacing.

Ruan Qiu and Song Xinting looked at each other, and they all relaxed. After all, the doubts in their hearts overwhelmed others. Thinking of their task of giving gifts, Ruan Qiu looked at Tang Xun, "Boss Tang..."

"Stop!"

As soon as Mr. Song left, Tang Xun immediately returned to his previous bad temper. He looked at Ruan Qiu in warning, "I wanted to say it last time, don't call me boss, it sounds like a local rich man!"

The corner of Ruan Qiu's mouth twitched, "Then shopkeeper Tang?"

Brother Zheng, who he had heard Tang Xun before, called him Boss Tang, because he was not only the shopkeeper of Jinxiufang, but also the boss.

But since Tang Xun didn't like it, he thought, to put it another way.

This didn't seem to be any better, Tang Xun frowned, but he didn't think of a better way to say it, so he said irritably, "Is there something wrong?"

Ruan Qiu has never seen a person with such a bad temper, but Tang Xun helped him, and there was a misunderstanding between them, so he was much more patient than before, "Tang shopkeeper, who was that child just now? People seem to be very familiar."

"Child?" Tang Xun snorted coldly, and squinted at Ruan Qiu, "What are you asking me for, do you think I can't hear it?" He folded his arms, squinting at Ruan Qiu like this, "You look nice today , it seems that you are the disciples of the Xuanji Sect who were blocked outside the gate of the City Lord's Mansion for two hours today, you Xuanji Sect really dare to come and give gifts."

Ah Xi was a little surprised, "How do you know we are there to give gifts?"

Ruan Qiu also said: "There are no two hours..."

Just waited for more than an hour.

When Song Xinting heard this, he looked at Tang Xun a little more inquiringly.

Tang Xun laughed and said: "Yeah, I waited at the door for more than an hour. Not only I know, but everyone in the inner city probably knows what the City Lord's Mansion is, how many eyes are staring at you, and you are wearing black poles. Who wouldn't be able to see Zong's clothes? I would like to remind you that Song Yantai will not see you, and today I have deliberately left you hanging for more than a hour, and also gave you a warning. Don't waste time, go back home as soon as possible. "

Unlike Ah Xi's sad face and Song Xinting's thoughtful expression, Ruan Qiu found a useful piece of information in Tang Xun's words.

"You seem to have a good relationship with the City Lord's Mansion. Can you meet City Lord Song?"

Tang Xun's face darkened, "Are you still determined?"

Ruan Qiu blinked, "Try again."

Anyway, they still have a lot of time, at least don't disappoint Ah Xi too much.

Tang Xun only felt that there was a whirlpool in his Qiushui eyes, and he was almost pulled into it in the blink of an eye, his face became more and more ugly, and he said angrily: "What are you looking at? I won't help you, give up!"

Song Xinting immediately frowned, pulled Ruan Qiu back, and also turned cold, if he didn't help, he wouldn't help, why is his brother so aggressive?

Ruan Qiu patted the back of his brother's hand helplessly, and said: "I just want to ask. It's fine if shopkeeper Tang refuses to say it. By the way, we live next to shopkeeper Tang. If shopkeeper Tang doesn't understand something when cultivating Lingzhi, Just come find me."

Tang Xun sneered: "Whoever wants to look for you, I told you, Song Yantai will not see you, especially since you are still Yin Wuchen's disciple."

Ruan Qiu didn't even know when he revealed his identity, he opened his eyes slightly, "Has my identity spread throughout the inner city?"

Song Xinting was also a little nervous.

It is true that the status of Juggernaut disciple can bring glory to Ruan Qiu, but it can also bring him trouble. He did not reveal his identity all the way, just because he was afraid of causing trouble that he could not handle.

"It's not..."

Tang Xun said and looked at Ruan Qiu one more time, "After sending you to Yimengju last time, I heard that Cang Yao soldiers appeared near Yimengju. After inquiring, it seems that you were the one who was taken away. At any rate, I was the same as you." Jizong has business dealings, so I sent a letter to your sect." He wanted to ask Ruan Qiu what he did in Cangyao, but after looking at Ruan Qiu for a while, before Ruan Qiu could speak, he lowered his face and said, "Your It's not hard to find out your identity, let's go back to the sect as soon as possible, and don't bother me again."

He really didn't say much this time, he turned and entered the door, and the servants behind him had no choice but to follow.Seeing the door close next door, Ruan Qiu had a complicated expression on his face. Tang Xun sent a letter to the sect, wouldn't many people in that sect know that he had been to Yimengju?

Li Yu missed me!

At this moment, Ruan Qiu really wanted to deny his relatives and beat up his cousin, but unfortunately, he is probably already in the palace and the distance is too far.He could only comfort himself, he had explained this matter to his master, and his master believed him, so it doesn't matter if other people know... Forget it, Ruan Qiu didn't have the time to inquire about anything else, so he went back to the courtyard .

Song Xinting saw that his clothes were covered with blood, so he told him to go back and change quickly. Ruan Qiu absentmindedly nodded, and when he returned to his room, he took off his coat and looked at the blood on it, thinking about how to wash it off, Yin Wuchen said Came out of the hosta.

"Master, why did you come out?"

When Ruan Qiu saw Yin Wuchen, he blushed first, picked up the new robe beside him and put it on.During this period of time, Yin Wuchen seldom showed up in the daytime. He saw Ruan Qiu wearing only a thin coat, his eyes darkened, and he turned his head to look at the blood-stained robe on the edge of the bed.

Ruan Qiu changed into a plain blue-gray Taoist robe. From the corner of his eye, he observed Yin Wuchen, fearing that he might be worried, and said anxiously: "Just now I met a child with violent spiritual power outside. The blood is not mine."

"I know." Yin Wuchen paused, stretched out his hand to straighten Ruan Qiu's skirt, and saw the young man's snow-white cheeks slowly turning red, "I've been paying attention to the fact that you are going to see the Lord of Shifang City today, it seems that Song Yantai is still the same. I don’t want to have any negotiations with the Xuanji Sect. However, have you met Tang Xun who just asked you to return to the sect as soon as possible?”

Ruan Qiu nodded, and told about the encounter with Tang Xun on the road before, and the other party gave him a ride. Thinking that Yin Wuchen's real body is not in the sect now, he didn't ask the sect if he had received Tang Xun's letter, and said confusedly: " Master, did City Lord Song have any quarrels with our Xuanji Sect? Otherwise, why would he not want to see us? Also, does Master know Tang Xun?"

Yin Wuchen hesitated for a moment, then sighed softly: "Although she is ugly in the family, Xiaoqiu is the Taoist couple I recognize. If you ask me, I must tell the truth. Shifang City and Xuanjizong have never had any negotiations or festivals, but Song Yantai and I have some grudges. My father, who is not up to date, had a fate with Song Yantai's mother, Mrs. Jin."

Ruan Qiu had never thought about this level, and thought that Song Yantai had fought with his master, but the result was...he was not sure.

"Is... what kind of fate?"

Yin Wuchen nodded his forehead, and said with a smile: "What else could be fate?"

The grievances and grievances of the previous generation are hard to describe for this junior.

"The Nie family was destroyed by the ghost mother very early, and I joined the Xuanji sect at a very young age. I can only learn about my father's generation from his mouth. My father is the third young master of the Nie family in Nanze, and Mrs. Jin was killed Known as the number one beauty in Xichuan, everyone knows that Nie San has admired Mrs. Jin for a long time, but Mrs. Jin formed a Taoist couple with the young master of Shifang City. Later, Nie San also returned to Nanze and married my mother. The young master's wife who is far away in Shifang City has nothing to do with it, but... because Nie San once publicized his love for Mrs. Jin, it is inevitable that there will be some gossip in Shifang City. It is said that later Song Yantai's parents were divorced because of this, and I also I don't know what's going on, even if Nie San was forced to death by the ghost mother in the end, and the Nie family was also destroyed by the ghost mother, he has always vented his anger on me."

Ruan Qiu couldn't say anything about things that Yin Wuchen didn't know, but felt that his master was really wronged. Having such a father... first offended someone like the ghost mother and caused the disaster of destroying the family. The young master of Shifang City said He still doesn't know what's going on with his lover's centrifugation, but Nie San can't get rid of it, so after many years, his master is still implicated by Nie San.

But Nie San was the master's father after all, and was forced to commit suicide many years ago. Ruan Qiu didn't say anything about him, but couldn't hide his anger.

Yin Wuchen saw that his cheeks were puffed up with anger, and couldn't help pinching Ruan Qiu's cheeks, "Okay, don't be angry, since my mother left, I changed my name and surname, and I am no longer from the Nie family. I hated him before, but It's no use hating him, he's dead."

The three of Nie were dead, but the misfortunes he caused were passed on to Yin Wuchen, such as ghost mother and son, such as Song Yantai.

Ruan Qiu was still very angry, and hugged Yin Wuchen tightly, "Except for the ghost mother and Mrs. Jin, he didn't provoke anyone else, right?"

"If Mrs. Jin's separation from her husband is really related to the rumors he spread, Mrs. Jin is also a poor person." Yin Wuchen rubbed Ruan Qiu's head, "I don't know about Shifang City, but I think Nie San doesn't have time to talk about it again." Go off to mess with other people."

Ruan Qiu felt that it was too difficult to get this father. After thinking about it, he asked again: "Then Master, how does he treat your mother and you?"

Thinking of such a long time ago, Yin Wuchen didn't feel anything at all, and smiled lightly: "He doesn't care about me. When I was young, only my mother took care of me. Nie San was not favored at home. He was so ordinary, but he was in seclusion all the year round. I usually seldom see him."

The more Ruan Qiu listened, the more he felt that the master was miserable, so he hugged Yin Wuchen and stopped talking.

Yin Wuchen had no choice but to coax Ruan Qiu: "So I thought before, if I don't like a person, I will never make love with him, I will only be a Taoist partner with the person I like. If we have children, I will also I will teach him carefully."

Ruan Qiu's eyes lit up, and the melancholy in his heart was swept away. Although he knew that it was impossible for them to have children, he was very happy when the master said so, and couldn't help rubbing against Yin Wuchen's arms.

"Okay, let's talk about Tang Xun." Yin Wuchen was afraid that if the little apprentice rubbed around again, he couldn't help but hold him down, but there were still people in the courtyard.He led Ruan Qiu to sit down, "I do know Tang Xun, because he is Song Yantai's younger brother, and he was also a member of the Song family."

Ruan Qiu was stunned, "He's City Lord Song's younger brother? No wonder Elder Song from the City Lord's Mansion was so polite to him just now when he found him."

Yin Wuchen said: "Shifang City is different from our Xuanji Sect. Song Yantai, the city lord, was passed down from his grandfather. Although he is sick and weak, his cultivation is not low, so he must not be underestimated. Because of the grievances of the previous generation , I will never come to Shifang City if I have nothing to do. Since he became the lord of the city, he has been avoiding contact with Xuanjizong. But Tang Xun is different. Tang Xun is a junior who grew up with Song Yantai, but he is older than him , since the old city lord left the city to retreat, Song Yantai succeeded the city lord and took over the hidden dragon guard left by the old city lord. Tang Xun was also called the second city lord at one time, and was in charge of Liutong Spring Pavilion, the largest industry under the city lord. However, he and Song Yantai were dealing with Xuan There was a disagreement on the matter of Jizong, plus many reasons, eight years ago, Tang Xun had already left the City Lord's Mansion, left the house, and opened Jinxiufang."

Ruan Qiu followed his words and said, "Although Tang Xun has a bad temper, he is not a villain. I heard from his senior brother that he is a profiteer who only has interests in his eyes. He gave up his position as the second city lord and Liu Tongchun." The interests of the pavilion and leaving the city lord's mansion must be the reason why Song Yantai couldn't bear it. But he blatantly opened Jinxiu Workshop in Shifang City and has a close relationship with Xuanjizong. Song Yantai has no reason to understand. But today, Elder Song of the City Lord's Mansion is very polite when he sees Tang Xun, so is City Lord Song letting Tang Xun continue to disobey him like this?"

Yin Wuchen still shook his head, "I don't know, I seldom inquire about Shifang City. Although Tang Xun has business dealings with our Xuanji Sect, he doesn't look good when he sees me, and I have no time to interact with them. You met today I have heard a little about the old Song, this should be the old steward left by the old city lord for Song Yantai, and Song Yantai trusts him very much."

"It's probably because the old city lord is still there. Song Yantai didn't do anything to Tang Xun. In the past few years as the city lord, he has almost replaced all the old people in the city. Now by his side, the one he trusts the most is his shadow guard. The head of the hidden dragon guard, I have seen that person from afar, I only know that Song Yantai called him Murong, the name is not clear, there is another person, who is the guard next to Song Yantai, known as the monk in white, Zhuang Jiu, is the name of the Great Leiyin Temple in the Western Region Disciple. These two are of the same realm as Song Yantai, and they rarely leave his side, but I have never heard of his younger brother."

Yin Wuchen couldn't figure it out, "Song Yantai was already the lord of the city 15 years ago, and his father died early due to an accident when he was very young. It is said that because of this, Mrs. Jin suffered a serious illness and never appeared in front of people again. .Then why does Song Yantai have a younger brother who is five or six years old?"

Ruan Qiu heard Yin Wuchen say so much, and it was so detailed, and he was a little surprised, "How can Master know so much?"

Yin Wuchen looked at him with a smile in his eyes and said: "This is where you are going, I naturally have to find out. I understand Song Yantai's personality, he wishes he would never see me, but his illness depends on senior brother Mo, I won't anger you."

Ruan Qiu's heart warmed up, and he asked again: "What's wrong with City Lord Song?"

Yin Wuchen didn't know either, "When I first met Song Yantai, he wanted to kill me. In order to solve this matter, Brother Mo went to Shifang City to meet the old city lord, and the old city lord asked him to heal Song Yantai, but Senior Brother Mo can't tell about Song Yantai's illness. Over the years, Senior Brother Mo never said anything about it, and I never asked about Song Yantai's affairs."

Ruan Qiu digested the information and didn't ask any more questions. Seeing him sigh, Yin Wuchen followed suit, "Xiao Qiu, I don't want to hide my past from you. I have been burdened by Nie San all my life, and you were also burdened by Nie San in my last life." But you believe me, in this life, I will not let these troubles continue."

Therefore, as a matter of urgency, he still had to find an opportunity to kill the ghost mother first.

Ruan Qiu didn't notice the flash of killing intent in Yin Wuchen's eyes, he secretly made a decision, hugged Yin Wuchen tightly, "Don't worry, Master, I will help you, I'm not afraid of trouble."

Yin Wuchen suppressed the chill in his eyes, and rubbed Ruan Qiu's head, "You should first think about how to send the congratulatory gift. Tang Xun is a good breakthrough, but no one knows why he broke with Song Yantai, you still have to be careful some."

Ruan Qiu's eyes were bright, and he said confidently: "I know, if I can't send it out, I'll go back to the sect and marry my master."

Yin Wuchen was dumbfounded immediately, then, can he hope that Ruan Qiu can't give this gift, and return to the sect to marry him as soon as possible?

Ruan Qiu probably gained a sense of accomplishment by gaining weight. Song Xinting and Axi are used to cooking a table of meals every day. Ruan Qiu, who originally planned to go to Liutong Spring Pavilion today, talked to the master for a long time, but found no one to lead the way. Delayed until tomorrow.

Early in the early spring, the three of them had dinner in the courtyard. When it came to going out tomorrow, Ah Xi was already a little excited. She was still a child at heart, and she preferred to go out to play rather than go to the city lord's mansion. Song Xinting also offered to accompany Ruan Qiu Go buy spirit grass.

He was afraid that Ruan Qiu would be bullied.

A few people were clearing the stone tables in the courtyard and serving food when a voice suddenly came from the other side of the courtyard wall, "What are you doing?"

Ruan Qiu was taken aback, looked up, and saw Tang Xun standing on the wall adjacent to them, probably because at home, Tang Xun was dressed quite casually, and was looking at them , their family's formation became a fake for a while.

Ah Xi said in surprise, "Why are you here!"

Tang Xun looked awkward, "Your formation is not good, I saw you as soon as I came over..." He seemed a little guilty again, looked at Ruan Qiu and said, "Ruan Qiu, you said, what if my spiritual plant is Question, can I come and find you?"

Song Xinting confirmed that their defensive circle was still open, and there was no problem. However, Tang Xun was the younger brother of City Lord Song, so how could their small circle stop it?Ruan Qiu understood what he said, and almost couldn't help laughing.

Of course he knew that Tang Xun liked to tinker with those spiritual plants, but he was handicapped, so he deliberately said that to him today, just waiting for Tang Xun to find the door by himself, and then he would find the City Lord's Mansion through this way. , Tang Xun was really hooked.

"Of course, but next time shopkeeper Tang, it's better to go through the front door."

But at the moment, Ruan Qiu is really hungry. After looking at the table full of meals that Song Xinting cooked for him, he still planned to go to Tang Xun after eating. Thinking, he asked politely, "I'll eat later. The meal is over, if shopkeeper Tang doesn't dislike it, come over and taste my brother's cooking?"

Tang Xun wanted to talk about his identity, even if the city lord invited him to the best restaurant in Shifang City, he might not appreciate it, but the aroma of the dishes on the table wafted through the magic circle, shaking him who had been eating Bigu pills for many years , he swallowed.

"Then... let's do it."

Ruan Qiu was taken aback, and saw Tang Xun flying down from the wall with a reluctant expression on his face. He cast a helpless look at Song Xinting and Axi, and politely led Tang Xun to sit down.Song Xinting and Axi also knew that they would have to go through Tang Xun to give the gift, so they said nothing, but Tang Xun saw the little weasel in Axi's arms at a glance.

"The coat color is good, and it's about to form a demon pill, but it's too small to make a scarf." Tang Xun said disgustedly: "Where did you pick it up?"

"I just picked it up on the road, it can't be used as a scarf!"

Hearing this, Ah Xi hurriedly hugged the little weasel tightly. How could anyone come to grab a meal and stare at the little weasel at someone else's house to make a scarf?

Ruan Qiu was a little surprised by Tang Xun's vicious eyes, "We picked it up for a long time, only to see that it has changed into a human form once, so it hasn't formed a pill yet."

Tang Xun snorted, "It hasn't formed a pill yet, even if it has been transformed into a human form, it may have been transformed by someone else, so let's raise it again, it's still too early."

Ruan Qiu gave the two of them a reassuring look, and Song Xinting understood, and went to the kitchen to buy an extra pair of bowls and chopsticks, and Ah Xi also sat down with the little weasel in his arms.Tang Xun has always been unforgiving with his mouth, but he has a soft mouth for eating people, so this meal was quite quiet.

After dinner, Tang Xun dragged Ruan Qiu to the next door. Song Xinting was worried about Ruan Qiu, and Ah Xi was worried, so the two followed.

Only separated by a wall, Tang Xun's house is much more spacious than their small courtyard. Because he likes extravagance, the house is also magnificent, and he even set aside a special courtyard for spiritual plants.Axi went all the way in and called out how big and rich the house was, but when she entered the small courtyard separated from them by a wall, and saw the high-level spirit-gathering array covered with spirit stones, all she could do was gasp.

Ruan Qiu couldn't help but marvel, Tang Xun really deserves to be the big shopkeeper of Jinxiufang.

Tang Xun clearly looked proud, but pretended to be disdainful, "This is such a big fuss, won't you be scared to death when you enter the city lord's mansion? Don't talk about it, just show me the crescent grass I planted a while ago, It has clearly sprouted, why is it wilting!"

This is the bait that Ruan Qiu put out by himself. Tang Shi took the bait at this moment. He smiled lightly and followed him unhurriedly. Fortunately, he had nothing to do in the mountains these years, learned a lot, and happened to bump into Tang Shi This handicapped man loves to raise Lingzhi.

only……

After looking around, Ruan Qiu's smile collapsed. Tang Xun's cultivation base is obviously so high, why can't any spiritual grass grow well?The precious spiritual plants in the yard are all raised by him to death, but he is not reluctant to water them with flower spiritual stones.

In the back, even Song Xinting, a layman, couldn't bear to see Tang Xun's atrocities. Seeing that Ruan Qiu was really just helping to check the spiritual planting problem, he went back to clean up the dishes. After a while, Ah Xi also looked for opportunities Ran.

Because Tang Xun is too good, he is good at cultivating Lingzhi and loves to play.

Tang Xun let Ruan Qiu back when it was dark, and Ruan Qiu was exhausted by then.In the end, he couldn't stand it anymore, and he personally helped to reorganize all the Lingzhi plants in the yard, and spent a lot of time and energy. You can see how hard he has worked this hour by reading Tang Xun's notebook and writing down a dozen pages. , He didn't want to say a word at the moment.

Ruan Qiu even thought, it's better to forget it, go back to the sect and get married with the master.

Tang Xun knew that he had troubled Ruan Qiu for a long time, and when he sent Ruan Qiu out, he called out to Ruan Qiu awkwardly, "Liutong Spring Pavilion is a good place, and there are quite a lot of spiritual herbs, but some are expensive, and they will deliberately put them away , and release it at the auction. Aren’t you looking for spirit grass recently? If you’re in a hurry, go to the West Market in the outer city. The market on Qingshi Street is full of spirit grass. The price is better than Liutong Spring Pavilion, but the quality varies , you have to keep your eyes open."

Speaking of which, Tang Xun was still the former chief manager of Liutong Chunge, so he knew about those experts.Ruan Qiu was a little surprised when he heard the words. He guessed that Tang Xun heard him tell his brother that he was worried about going there to collect spiritual grass, and then smiled gratefully.

"Thank you."

Tang Xun snorted softly, thought for a while, and frowned, "One more piece of advice, don't approach the City Lord's Mansion, and don't try to get close to the City Lord, so as to ease the relationship between Shifang City and Xuanjizong. In this Shifang City, you know The more you have, the faster you die."

Ruan Qiu was dumbfounded when he heard this, "What..."

Before he could finish asking, Tang Xun closed the door ruthlessly as before, and threw Ruan Qiu out of the door alone.

The night wind in early spring swept past, exuding a trace of coldness, Ruan Qiu blinked blankly, and walked back to the small courtyard full of confusion.

On the short journey, he still couldn't hold back and asked Yin Wuchen in a low voice, "Master, what did Shopkeeper Tang mean by these words just now?"

Yin Wuchen's response quickly came from Yuzan, "Perhaps it was because he had some unpleasantness with Song Yantai when he left the City Lord's Mansion."

Ruan Qiu nodded hesitantly, and said: "Actually, I think shopkeeper Tang has a bad temper, but he is hard-spoken and soft-hearted. Let's go to the City Lord's Mansion."

When he walked to the gate of the small courtyard, Ruan Qiu looked back, wondering if it was an illusion, it was dark outside, but he felt uneasy, as if something was staring at them in the dark, no, it was staring at the next door Tang Xun's family.

Ruan Qiu quickly walked into her house, closed the gate of the small courtyard, and then asked Yin Wuchen in a low voice, "Master, is there someone outside?"

Yin Wuchen replied after a while: "There are people, but there are monks everywhere in Shifang City, and there are many unfathomable people in the inner city. Tang Xun's identity is not a secret here. It is not surprising that someone is staring at him. But the inner city often There are guards from the city lord's mansion patrolling the city, and Tang Xun's cultivation is not low, so you don't have to worry too much, it will be dark in the future, it is best not to go out alone."

Ruan Qiu heaved a sigh of relief, and went back to the room under the lights left for him by Song Xinting and Axi in the main room, and sighed with Yin Wuchen in a low voice, "It is true that Shifang City is prosperous, but it is not as safe as the sect."

Yin Wuchen laughed, although he didn't speak, Ruan Qiu could imagine the master's cold eyes smiling, looking at him helplessly.

Although Ruan Qiu and the others felt a little regretful that they could not enter the city lord's mansion for the time being, they still had some expectations when they made an appointment to go out to find herbs on the second day. It's quite iconic.

Song Xinting took the time to find Zhao San and his wife next door last night, and today he plans to take Ruan Qiu and Axi to look for them and walk around the advanced pavilion.

During breakfast, Ruan Qiu told them the news that Tang Xun had told him last night.

Song Xinting still decided to go to the Spring Pavilion of Liutong first. After all, the inner city is safer, and if he can't find all the spiritual herbs that Ruan Qiu wants, he will go to the outer city.

Ruan Qiu naturally had no objection.

Song Xinting told him again that he went to Zhao San and his wife last night and told Mei Hanyue who was in Liutong Spring Pavilion that he would go to her after entering the pavilion, and she could help them get some spiritual herbs.

It's just that the three of them didn't expect that just as they finished their breakfast and were about to go out, someone came to the door. It was Mr. Song whom they had just met yesterday.

Elder Song was accompanied by a group of government soldiers behind him, and the Axi people who came to open the door were shocked and asked tremblingly, "What's the matter, you two?"

Elder Song still had a kind smile on his face, "Don't be nervous, we are here to find fellow Taoist Xuanjizong who saved my young master yesterday."

Ruan Qiu and Song Xinting were cleaning up the dishes in the courtyard, and walked out when they heard the noise.

Song Xinting asked: "What happened?"

Axi turned her head and winked at them, trying to make them aware of the crisis.

"The people from the City Lord's Mansion are here!"

Ruan Qiu couldn't help being taken aback, and looked around, and he really saw Mr. Song outside the door.

Song Xinting's expression changed slightly, and he stepped forward quickly, blocking Ruan Qiu and Axi, and bowed his hands gently, "So it's Mr. Song from the City Lord's Mansion. I wonder why you came to see us?"

Elder Song glanced at Ruan Qiu more, probably because he was the young master who was taken over by Ruan Qiu yesterday, and his attitude was very gentle, "Thank you for saving my young master yesterday. You may not be aware of the city, but the young master is the only younger brother of the city lord, and the city lord heard about this and ordered me to invite a few people to come over to express our thanks."

"The mayor sees us?"

Ah Xi's face was full of precautions, and then revealed a look of surprise, and looked back at Ruan Qiu and Song Xinting, both of whom were surprised.

Yesterday they were refused outside the city lord's mansion, and they wanted to enter the city lord's mansion through Tang Xun's relationship. Who would have thought that after only one night, the old housekeeper of the city lord's mansion came to invite them to the mansion in person.

Ruan Qiu subconsciously looked to the next door. The door of Tang Xun's house was closed, and he didn't know if someone had gone out. He remembered Tang Xun's words last night.

Don't go near the City Lord's Mansion...

However, this time it was the city master who met them.
