Chapter 117 Star Reaching City

As the carriages and horses passed by, the crowd who avoided the streets returned to normal, and many people secretly pointed at Yuan Gang.

The stall owner and his wife, who were holding the little girl, thanked Yuan Gang again and again. It was obvious that the element of fear was greater than gratitude.

Yuan Gang didn't say anything thank you, and sat back to eat at the booth. He faintly heard the word "Inspector's Mansion" among the whispers in the crowd. It seemed that the people who passed by just now were from the Inspector's Mansion, which made Yuan Gang look at the direction in which the chariots and horses disappeared.

Yuan Gang's appetite was always large, and he had a full meal. When paying the bill, the stall owner and his wife refused to accept the money.

Yuan Gang didn't push back and forth with the stall owner and his wife, but dropped a silver coin, and took the horse with Wei Duo and left.

After inquiring all the way, the two finally found the governor's mansion, and they were naturally stopped outside the mansion.

In fact, Hai Ruyue just came back from her inspection tour, and not long after she rested here, a maid was holding a box of newly-arrived jewellery, and was showing her a selection.

Butler Zhu Shun came to announce: "Madam, Yuan Gang is here."

Hai Ruyue snorted, "Go get the letter left by Niu Youdao."

Zhu Shun was not in a hurry to leave, and said with a smile: "Someone saw Yuan Gang just now, and specifically mentioned to this old slave that Yuan Gang just ran into his wife's car on the street."

"It's him?" Hai Ruyue looked up in surprise, and put the jewelry in her hand back into the jewelry box, "Is he Yuan Gang?"

Zhu Shun shook his head: "The old slave didn't accompany me before, didn't see it, so I don't know much about it."

Hai Ruyue clicked her tongue, and said with great interest: "Sure enough, likes flock together, and they are all extraordinary people. What is the relationship between Yuan Gang and Niu Youdao based on the situation you found?"

Zhu Shun: "The two seldom show up outside, and the people over there can't figure out what's going on, but they are sure to be by Niu Youdao's side often, probably as confidantes."

Hai Ruyue waved: "Please."

"Yes!" Zhu Shun walked to the door and gave instructions to the people below.

Yuan Gang and Wei Duo, who were stopped outside the mansion, were let go, but according to the rules, they were still searched. Wei Duo's sword and Yuan Gang's dagger were temporarily detained, and they were also restrained.

The two were led to the living room to wait.

After waiting for a long time, Hai Ruyue arrived accompanied by Zhu Shun, and the host and guest met.

After their identities became known to each other, Yuan Gang was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the hostess of Jinzhou would come out to meet him in person.

Yuan Gang didn't have the habit of bowing his hands and knees to meet people, not even when meeting Shang Chaozong and Shang Shuqing. He looked each other up and down and asked, "Where is Niu Youdao?"

Hai Ruyue is also looking at him, and thinks this person is a bit interesting, because Yuan Gang's behavior on the street before, found that Yuan Gang seems to have no class concept.

For people in this world, people are divided into three classes, officials are officials, and people are people. Yuan Gang doesn't pay attention to officials, but goes to curry favor with ordinary people, and collides with them in the street. From Hai Ruyue's point of view, Yuan Gang's behavior is somewhat incomprehensible.

Hai Ruyue who sat down on the seat said calmly: "Niu Youdao is gone."

Yuan Gang frowned and asked, "Where did you go?" Seeing that the other party didn't return, he asked again, "Ice and Snow Pavilion?"

Hai Ruyue hehe said: "It seems that you know quite a lot."

"Excuse me, goodbye!" Yuan Gang dropped his words and left.

Hai Ruyue was angry and funny, and found that this person really didn't take herself seriously, she scolded: "Stop! Is this a place where you can come and go when you want?"

Yuan Gang stopped, turned around slowly and said, "I have no grievances with the eldest princess!"

Hai Ruyue: "Let's stay in Jinzhou for the time being." She added, "This is what Niu Youdao told me before he left." She tilted her head as a gesture.

Zhu Shun took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Yuan Gang.

In fact, there is no etiquette here. I have opened this letter and read it a long time ago, but I was a little confused because I couldn't understand it, and I couldn't understand it after repeated research and thinking for a long time.

Yuan Gang took out the letter from the letter and glanced at it, and he knew that it was undoubtedly left by the Taoist master. The inside was in simplified characters, and the font was also the running script of the Taoist master.

This thing has no rules to follow without a reference, and he guessed it would be impossible to decipher the content with just a letter.

The content of the letter probably meant that Niu Youdao guessed that he would come when he knew the news, and asked him to stay in Jinzhou, and not run around when Niu Youdao came back.

This is because of Niu Youdao's painstaking efforts, knowing that once the matter here is settled, there will be a big battle in Qingshan County. If Yuan Gang stays with Shang Chaozong, he will join the battle in all likelihood.

Niu Youdao didn't think that the great cause of the Shang brothers and sisters was worthy of Yuan Gang's life.

Niu Youdao asked Shang Chaozong to cut off the relationship with each other publicly. It was for this purpose. Knowing that Yuan Gang would definitely find him, he took the opportunity to transfer Yuan Gang away from Qingshan County, and waited until the situation in Qingshan County stabilized. If the Shang brothers and sisters are successful, it doesn't matter if Yuan Gang goes back again. If the Shang brothers and sisters are defeated, the territory will be taken by others, so naturally there will be no need to go back.

In a word, he can't let Yuan Gang put himself in danger and ignore it.

He kept his promise and went to the Bingxue Pavilion to get Chiyang vermilion fruit in order to stabilize Hai Ruyue, just as he said to Yuan Fang, using Jinzhou as a way out. No one can tell what will happen in the future, at least for now, Yuan Gang can have a place to settle down.

However, as soon as Yuan Gang saw the content of the letter, he immediately realized that there was a risk in the Taoist going, otherwise he would not let himself follow.

"Farewell!" Yuan Gang dropped the words and turned away again.

But two monks appeared at the door and stopped them.

Hai Ruyue said indifferently: "Take it to the Liufang Pavilion for resettlement!"

Martial calendar!

Although all countries have introduced year calendars, all countries are based on the Wu Dynasty. The countries use their own calendars to communicate with each other, which is a bit confusing. Therefore, the calendar that is really common in all countries and easy to calculate the year is basically the military calendar.

This also makes the heroes of all countries regret that the Wu Dynasty is still dead, and all those who are ambitious hope to unify the calendar one day. When the wish is realized, it will naturally be the time to unify the world.

Five twenty-three years in the martial arts calendar.

Song Long, the envoy of Yan State, was assassinated in Jinzhou of Zhao State. Jinzhou found out that Song Long ignored the laws of Jinzhou and acted recklessly in Jinzhou because of personal enmity. Yan State refused to negotiate with Jinzhou on the grounds of unequal, and only communicated with the court of Zhao State.

This action disturbed the court of Yan State, which had internal and external troubles. Zhou Shouxian, the governor of Nanzhou, urgently mobilized heavy troops in Nanzhou for defense. However, the Yan State court had to be vigilant against the princes at home, and guard against the eye-catching enemy countries outside, which could not give Zhou Shouxian much help.

At the end of the spring of that year, when Nanzhou’s internal defenses were empty, Shang Chaozong, the son of former Yan State Grand Sima Ning Wang Shang Jianbo, and Yongping County King Shang Chaozong found out that Zhou Shouxian, the governor of Nanzhou, was responsible for the previous attack, and wrote to the imperial court to severely punish Zhou Shouxian.

The vast Gobi is boundless.

When a faint mountain range finally appeared in sight, Yuan Fang pointed excitedly, "Master Dao, we're here, the City of Picking Stars is here."

Niu Youdao, who was swaying slowly on the horse's back, looked over, "Looking at the dead horse running over the mountain, I guess it will be dark to get there."

Star Reaching City is an ancient city. Legend has it that it was originally the capital of a country, but was later destroyed by Emperor Shang Song of the Wu Kingdom. Now it has become one of the places where practitioners gather for trading.

It's not a land without an owner. The master behind it is one of the few masters in the Nascent Soul stage in the practice world. The situation is similar to Ice and Snow Pavilion, Demon Ridge and the like. For example, behind the Ice and Snow Pavilion is Granny Xue.

The purpose of coming here is to take a look at it along the way. As for the matter of going to the Bingxue Pavilion to get Chiyang Zhuguo, there is no rush. Even the forces of Hai Ruyue can't get it. Niu Youdao doesn't think he can get it right away. Some things can't be rushed, and it may be more beneficial to fully understand the situation in the practice world.

The reason why Yuan Fang was excited was because he had never been there before. He even heard about this place from Niu Youdao.

The Gobi is desolate, but it is not unpopular, and fast horses can be seen running back and forth from time to time.

As Niu Youdao expected, when the two arrived at the foot of the mountain, it was already dusk.

There are no trees on the mountains here, and almost no grass grows.

The horses they were riding on couldn't go up the mountain, but there was a horse farm at the foot of the mountain, with many horses rounded up.

After inquiring about it, I found out that this is a storage place for horses. If you put the horses here, they will take care of the fodder for you, but the price is very high, one gold coin a day.

The two had no choice but to deposit the horses here, and then galloped up the mountain.

At the top of the mountain, it is not the destination, but the place with lights ahead.

All the way through the mountains and ridges, I finally saw a dilapidated ancient city.

When the two entered the city, there were quite a few people coming and going in the city, obviously all monks. At night in the city, the light is not very good, each house is in charge of its own house, and it is said that only the merchants are qualified to put a stove at the door for lighting, so most people have lighting butterflies flying above their heads.

There are too many unidentified people in this place, which means unknown risks. The two went straight to the famous Yueyue Inn in the city. It is said that it is opened by the owner of the city. It has a strong background and can guarantee safety. Naturally, safety comes first for two people who don't know much about this place.

The Yaoyue Hotel is located on a relatively high terrain, on the mountainside of the main peak, and the location is good. It can overlook the whole city. It is also the only one in the city who is qualified to open a store in this location. It can be seen from the background. It is said that the location of Yaoyue Inn was originally the imperial palace in the ancient city. After arriving, Niu Youdao believed it, which is clearly the size of the palace.

When he climbed the steps at the entrance of the inn, Niu Youdao stopped suddenly, turned his head and looked behind him, and found that many people wandering outside the inn were staring at the two of them, as if seeing two pieces of fat.

But these people obviously didn't dare to cause trouble here, they only dared to watch from the bottom of the steps.

After the two entered the inn, they felt the luxury of the Yaoyue Inn. The lobby was very spacious and bright, and the degree of luxury was not mentioned yet. A staff came to greet them warmly, and after confirming that they were staying, they took the two of them to register.

The two asked for a room, which cost ten gold coins a day, which was outrageously expensive.

But the shopkeeper said that as long as the guests staying at the Yueyue Inn stay for one day, they are guaranteed to be safe in the Star Reaching City for one day. Holding the room card of the Yueyue Inn, no one will dare to make things difficult in the Star Reaching City.
