Chapter 6 Song San Wu Si

Since he was familiar with the situation, Qi Xuansu decided to go out alone first. Maybe he could see more things. If he went with a large group of people, he would not be able to see anything.

So Qi Xuansu took off the crane cloak that symbolized his identity as a Taoist priest and changed into an ordinary Taoist robe. After explaining things to Wang Chongnian and Ke Qingqing, he left the Jade Emperor Palace alone.

This Taoist robe is not a Taoist robe, but a very popular casual dress. From the emperor to the common people, they all regard Taoist robes as one of the main clothes for daily wear. In addition, Qi Xuansu has been walking in the rivers and lakes for many years, so he has a bit of earthy and worldly air, so it is difficult to tell that he is a Taoist.

Changing to a flower garden Taoist priest, even if he changed his clothes, the unique Taoist aura on his body could not be concealed. To put it in a good way, it is out of the world and not eating worldly fireworks. To put it in a bad way, it is not down to earth, a kind of aura of superiority.

Because the Jade Emperor Palace exclusively occupies Xuanshang North Square, leaving the Jade Emperor Palace means leaving Xuanshang North Square. To the south is the Imperial City, to the west is Wuliang Northwest Square, to the east is Duxian Northeast Square, and to the north is North City, one of the four outer cities.

Qi Xuansu chose to go to North City.

There are also differences between the four outer cities. South City is more prosperous, while North City is a little inferior, mostly poor people. As far as the eye can see, low-rise bungalows are the main ones, messy, and the streets are not very clean, and there is even some sewage. Compared with the prosperous inner city, it is like two worlds.

However, after all, it is under the feet of the emperor. North City is much better than many small cities that Qi Xuansu has been to. The so-called poverty is also compared with other people in the imperial capital.

Qi Xuansu walked on Xuanwu Street in North City, looking around unnoticeably, trying not to act like an outsider. It’s not that he is afraid of being discriminated against by locals, but he doesn’t want to attract other people’s attention.

Among the pedestrians, in addition to local people, there are also people from all over the world, and even merchants and priests from the West can be seen.

This is not surprising. There will be more Semu people from the West when you go to Wuliang Northwest Square where wealthy merchants gather.

But after walking a few steps, Qi Xuansu was stopped by two people.

Although the two people were also dressed in casual clothes, Qi Xuansu still saw a hint of green under the outer robe.

Qi Xuansu said clearly: "Qingluan Guard?"

The two people's faces changed slightly: "My friend, this is not a place to talk, let's change a place to talk?"

Qi Xuansu had no objection, and followed the two people from the busy Xuanwu Street to a secluded alley.

For ordinary people, Qingluan Guards are all evil stars. Since the previous dynasty, Qingluan Guards have gone through two dynasties and four hundred years. They are notorious. From the kings and ministers to the heroes of the rivers and lakes, everyone is afraid of them.

But Qi Xuansu has never been afraid. He was in Fengtai County and killed Qingluan Guards. Not to mention that the times are different now, he is already a high-ranking Taoist priest.

The two Qingluan Guards were like the Black and White Impermanence, one with a smile on his face, and the other expressionless. The one with a smile on his face took out a token and waved it in front of Qi Xuansu: "Qingluan Guards are investigating a case, come with me?"

Qi Xuansu said: "Two officers, if you want to arrest someone, you must have a reason, right? What law have I violated? Or what crime do I have?"

"Stop talking nonsense!" The unsmiling Qingluan Guard snorted coldly, "We have seen many people like you. If you have done nothing wrong, what's wrong with you coming with us?"

The one with a smile on his face smiled and said: "We are not arresting anyone, we just ask you to go back with me to cooperate with the investigation."

"Investigating what?" Qi Xuansu asked back with interest, "What if I don't want to cooperate?"

The unsmiling man said coldly: "Then forget it. Blame us for being rude. "

The man with a smile on his face continued to smile: "I know you have cultivation. If it weren't for this reason, we wouldn't ask you to go back to investigate. If you rely on your cultivation to fight back, it would be obstructing the investigation. At the very least, it is against the Qingluan Guards, and at the most, it is against the court and treason. "

Qi Xuansu put his hands behind his back and smiled: "Okay, I won't fight back, you guys just do it."

The two Qingluan Guards looked at each other and said: "It seems that you don't want to drink toasts, so you have to drink a penalty."

Qi Xuansu said: "If you can't invite me, don't blame me for not giving you Qingluan Guards face."

The two Qingluan Guards stopped talking nonsense, one on each side grabbed Qi Xuansu's shoulders, five fingers like hooks.

Qi Xuansu didn't dodge or evade, letting the two Qingluan Guards grab his shoulders, and then the two pulled and pushed, but Qi Xuansu didn't move at all.

The two felt like they were pushing a boulder.

The two men still refused to give up. The serious man suddenly turned around and used the strength of his waist and abdomen to sweep Qi Xuansu's lower abdomen with a whip kick.

The result was that Qi Xuansu remained motionless, while the man's calf was directly broken.

Although Qi Xuansu did not have a body spirit, his physique as a heavenly warrior was indeed invulnerable to swords and guns.

The man with a smile on his face had already taken out a small light crossbow and pulled the trigger. Because it was a busy city, the sound of a fire gun was too loud, so they were equipped with a silent light crossbow, which was more powerful than the Jackdaw crossbow.

The next moment, the smile on the man's face froze completely.

Because the crossbow arrow was completely frozen when it was still an inch away from Qi Xuansu, and could no longer move forward.

Qi Xuansu grabbed the crossbow arrow casually.

The two Qingluan Guards were not fools. With their years of experience in identifying people, they saw that Qi Xuansu was not an ordinary person. Now the superiors have repeatedly ordered that the imperial capital has been in turmoil recently, and they must strengthen public security and strictly investigate all kinds of suspicious people, but they did not expect to kick on the iron plate. They also tied themselves up in a cocoon, deliberately looking for a secluded place with no one. Now it is difficult to run. At this time, they can only hope that the name of the Qingluan Guards will make the other party afraid and not kill them directly.

But before the two of them could speak, Qi Xuansu had already taken out his new waist badge and shook it in front of them: "Do you recognize this?"

The realm of the two Qingluan Guards is not high, but they have been in the imperial capital for a long time and are knowledgeable. The man who always had a smile on his face said with a wry smile: "This is the token of the chief Taoist priest of the Imperial Capital Daofu. I was blind and didn't recognize the great man. I offended the master. I hope the master will forgive me."

Qi Xuansu raised the crossbow in his hand and said: "Is it an offense? What crime should be committed for attempting to assassinate a chief Taoist priest?"

The two people's faces turned pale in an instant: "What do you mean?"

"What else can I say? One person attacked head-on, and the other tried to shoot me with a light crossbow. We caught both of them red-handed. Even if the Taoist priest was asked to trace the earth's energy, it would still be the same." Qi Xuansu said indifferently.

However, the two were experienced after all. Seeing that Qi Xuansu did not say anything final, they immediately understood a little and hurriedly said: "If the master has any orders, just tell him. Just consider it as my apology to the master."

Qi Xuansu did not embarrass them any more: "You still know when to advance and retreat. I just arrived in the capital and I don't know much about many situations. The Taoist priests in the Taoist temple are weak in this regard."

"I am willing to serve the master. If the master wants to know anything, just tell him and we will tell him everything. If the master wants to go somewhere, just tell him and I will lead the way for him." The smiling man hurriedly said.

The serious man nodded repeatedly.

Qi Xuansu asked again: "It won't affect your work, right?"

"No, no, I am patrolling the streets, this is" the serious man said repeatedly.

The man with a smile on his face added: "Neither of them will be delayed."

"Yes, neither of them will be delayed."

"Of course, the master's instructions are more important."

Qi Xuansu asked: "I haven't asked for your names yet?"

The man with a smile on his face said: "I am Song San."

The serious man said: "I am Wu Si."

Qi Xuansu followed the local customs and said: "So it's Mr. Song San and Mr. Wu Si."

"I dare not, I dare not call you that in front of the master." The two were sweating profusely, "The master will call you Song San and Wu Si."

Qi Xuansu squatted down, held down Wu Si's broken leg, and sent a stream of true energy into him: "You are all local snakes, there is a long way to go, and I will have to trouble you in the future. If you do a good job, I will give you some benefits and will not let you work in vain. If you don't do a good job, you can't blame me for being impartial."

The two were submissive and did not dare to raise any objections.

Qi Xuansu stood up: "Can you walk?"

Wu Si stood up with the help of Song San and walked a few steps. Although he still didn't dare to struggle, he could walk without any hindrance. He hurriedly thanked Qi Xuansu.

Qi Xuansu waved his hand and asked: "Are there any brothels in the north city?"

The two were stunned, and Song San answered: "Master, those who can go to brothels are either rich or noble. There are mostly ordinary people in the north city. How can there be brothels? There are only some inferior brothels."

Qi Xuansu nodded: "As far as you know, are there any irregularities in these brothels?"

The two looked at each other, not knowing how to answer.

"Yes, yes, no, yes, answer truthfully." Qi Xuansu emphasized.

Wu Si said: "To answer the master, there are probably some."

Qi Xuansu asked again: "Is it serious?"

"Master, don't worry, they are just minor fights, and they will never cause deaths." Song San said hurriedly.

Qi Xuansu said without comment: "Hearing is false, seeing is true."

The two dared not say much. They also came to their senses at this time. This mage was not here to drink wine, but to visit secretly.

Qi Xuansu pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked: "You two are doing this job, I think you are also a big shot in the North City. You have dealt with them a lot and have benefited a lot, right?"

The two were shocked and hurriedly explained: "Master, you are very careful. The villains at most drink wine without spending money, and there is no benefit. The behind-the-scenes bosses of these brothels are the big shots, but the villains are nothing in the eyes of the brothels."

"Okay, don't defend yourself." Qi Xuansu interrupted the two, "I only care about morality and atmosphere, regardless of whether you drink wine or not, or whether there are benefits."

The two breathed a sigh of relief, and the sweat on their foreheads was about to drip. Although they were people of the court, it was not difficult for the Taoist sect to discipline them. In terms of customs, the Taoist sect has always had a lot of say. If they were implicated for a few trivial matters, wouldn't it be unfair?

Qi Xuansu said: "After dark, you two lead the way and we will go and see it. But I will also warn you in advance, and you are not allowed to leak the news."

"Yes." The two replied.
