Chapter 19 Passing by

"etc!"

A clear shout came from behind Shen Kuang, and they who had originally planned to set off were once again blocked by the investigating officers and soldiers. One of the several soldiers heard the sound and ran quickly to the rear.

Shen Kuang also turned around and looked around, and was surprised to find that the person who spoke was none other than the little Tiansi who had met him last night. At this time, she was still dressed in the same official uniform as last night, but today there were a few more people following her. She was currently asking the officer and soldier who had just ran over some matters.

A moment later, a sound of footsteps came from behind. The little Tiansi had already led his men to the front of Shen Kuang's carriage. When he saw Shen Kuang, he frowned slightly, looked at him again as he did last night, and then asked, "What are you doing out of the city?"

"I went out to the city with my master to collect medicine." Shen Kuang's answer was very calm, without any nervousness.

She looked around and found nothing strange. Then she turned her head and looked at the officer and asked, "Have you checked everything?"

"Come back to me, sir. I've checked inside and outside. Everything is normal."

"Then let us go." She waved to the officers and soldiers in front.

The people in front accepted the order and immediately made way for them. When Shen Kuang saw this, he didn't say much. He pulled the reins and shouted, "Drive~!" Then, the horse stepped forward and left the city in a short while. Door.

Song Wan's eyes were still looking at the back of the carriage going away, wondering what he was thinking. The boy gave her a very different feeling. She had felt this way since the first time she saw him last night. It was a kind of vague and vague feeling. Song Wan always felt that such a feeling should not appear in a boy. That's right for people.

After a moment, she turned to the soldiers guarding the city and asked, "Do you know who that man's master is?"

"Sir, the young man driving the car said they are from the city's alcohol-free community?"

"No alcohol?"

"Yes, sir! The owner of the Wujiu store is an old man with a weird temper. I heard that he knows some medical skills and is quite famous in Chengyifang. However, because of his weird temper, there are very few customers and patients who come to consult him on weekdays. But I have heard that this old man's medical skills are quite good."

"Do you know the old man's name?"

The soldier who answered was about to shake his head and say he didn't know, but another person standing next to him, who was bowing like him, tugged at his sleeve.

"You say." Song Wan said, looking at the soldier who was eager to try.

"To answer your question, I have eaten at his inn several times. I heard that people who are familiar with him call him Old Man Han. I don't know his real name."

After the man finished speaking, Song Wan did not continue to ask any more questions, but just pondered for a long time. A person standing behind her waved his hand towards the officers and soldiers, "Continue the investigation and keep an eye on them carefully."

In the distance, there was only a small black dot left in the carriage driven by Shen Kuang. Song Wan raised her head and looked again, but finally thought it was her illusion, and then left with a few of her subordinates.

In fact, she thought the suspect she was chasing was probably dead. The other party was stabbed by her sword and received several palms from her. There was almost no chance of survival. But since last night, apart from the blood stain, nothing else has been discovered. Jian Tiansi always wants to see people alive and corpses when dead, so even if there is a high possibility of death , they do not rule out the possibility of being escaped by the other party.

Song Wan actually felt an indescribable sense of strangeness in her heart regarding her encounters with the young man last night and today. She could sense from the young man's aura that his cultivation was comparable to hers. Last night, she did not have too many questions, after all, the Jianghu was huge and there were many geniuses. But when she met him again today and discovered that he was just a disciple of an unknown doctor, she began to have more and more doubts.

However, everything seemed fine on the surface, so she had no reason to do anything to the other party, and she left the city gate with doubts.

The people in the city have obviously felt the solemn atmosphere in the city today. Whether it is the patrolling soldiers that are more than usual or the wanted notices everywhere on the streets, it all means that something big has happened in Qiuluo City . There are fewer pedestrians on the street, and even the hawkers' cries are not as loud and clear as before.

Ordinary people could only feel the difference, but for the Jianghu people in Qiuluo City , the sentence "the remnants of the East China Sea 20 years ago" on the wanted notice shocked them. So far, they still don't quite understand the reason for the massacre in the East China Sea 20 years ago, but this time it's a resurgence. It's obvious that the court is determined to kill those families in the East China Sea, so even after so many years, they still haven't let them go.

The city was full of discussions about this, and even the previous speculations about the court's actions were brought up again. However, whether it was immortality or peerless martial arts, the court's greedy face had been clearly seen by them. Of course, such conversations could only be said behind the scenes. After all, the group of people in the Tianjian Division were everywhere, and it would not be worth it if the disaster came from their mouths.

Qiuluo City , General’s Mansion.

In the main hall of the general's mansion, two middle-aged men were sitting there. There was a cup of tea on the small table in front of them. White hot steam kept floating up from the cup, glowing in the sunlight.

One of them was naturally the Wei general Dugu Chong. The other was dressed in red with a flying fish on his chest. The flying fish on his chest was very similar to the one on Song Wan, but the difference was also obvious. Whether it was the preciousness of the material or the posture of the flying fish, it was a level higher than Song Wan's.

Flying fish is not actually a fish, but looks more like a python, so there is a saying that it is a python, but not a python . Flying fish has two horns, which is called flying fish pattern. So flying fish can actually be simply understood as a kind of python, which is based on the shape of a fish, but the fins and tail of the fish are modified into the shape of a python , so people give it the name flying fish .

Nan Qiao was also in the hall at this time. She was called by her father to meet the emperor from the court. Her six sisters were either married and not at home , or still waiting to be married but already engaged. It was not suitable for them to show up in public, so this matter fell on her. She had also heard of the man in red above, one of the five great celestial officials of the Tiansi , and his name seemed to be Fu Nianzhi .

Song Wan had just come in from the door, and had not yet sat down, but was standing behind the man in red. Her men were not qualified to come in at such an occasion. After entering the door, she leaned over and whispered a few words to the man in red, and then stood quietly aside without saying anything.

"Lord Fu, is there any news?" Dugu Chong, who was standing aside , asked first after seeing Song Wan speaking in a low voice.

Fu Nianzhi took a sip of tea slowly and answered slowly, "Not yet, but I have found some clues. Is there any news about General Dugu's men?"

"Haha , Master Fu, you are joking. When it comes to case handling capabilities, my General's Mansion plus the government offices in Qiuluo City cannot compare with the Jiantian Division. The information I have received so far only tells us that the suspect is probably still in the Chengyifang area. Since all her accomplices have been executed, it is only a matter of time before she is caught. Master Fu, why don't you try my tea today?"

"Haha, General Dugu is joking. Since we are here under the emperor's order to hunt down the criminals, we dare not relax until the mission is completed. I'll drink the general's tea next time!" As he spoke, Fu Nianzhi stood up and prepared to leave.

Seeing this, Dugu Chong also put down his teacup and stood up to see him off. Both of them had an official smile on their faces, and to outsiders, their etiquette was perfect.

"Master Fu, walk slowly!"

"General, farewell!"

people from Supervising Tiansi who were waiting outside followed them directly . Looking at the retreating figures of the group of people, Nan Qiao finally asked after a moment, "Dad, why did the imperial court want to kill those families in the East China Sea twenty years ago?"

"The imperial court did it very secretly. I don't know the specific reason. Let's put this matter aside for now. Catching the suspect is what their supervisor should worry about. But you, this girl, recently competed with others. "

After hearing his father's words, Nan Qiao unconsciously thought of Shen Kuang's harmless smiling face.

"What, you lost?" Seeing that his daughter didn't answer, Dugu Chong said with a half-smile.

Nan Qiao nodded and then slowly said, "That person is very powerful."

"I heard from your uncle Liang that he is still the disciple of the former Sword God? Is that true?"

"it is true."

"What did your master say about that man?"

"The master said that he was a formidable young man, both in swordsmanship and in character. But he had a bad master."

" Hahaha , what do you think about him proposing to your master? You are old enough to get married. Although I have never seen the young man, from your uncle Liang's description, he should be a good kid. Besides, Li Chengren is also a top-notch fighter in the world, so they can be considered a good match. I think this marriage is okay." After saying that, he looked at Nan Qiao on the side.

For Nan Qiao, who only wanted to make a breakthrough, she really had no interest in getting married. As for Shen Kuang, she wanted to defeat him more and save the face of the two defeats at his hands, so she thought for a moment and said bitterly, "It depends on whether he has that ability! Unless he dares to talk to me Let’s fight openly and let me win. Otherwise, why would you marry me?”

Nan Qiao's words were very powerful. Dugu Chong looked at his daughter with satisfaction and then laughed. "I think this is a good way to recruit a bride through a martial arts competition. I will do this next time I see the child."

After saying that, he smiled and walked away. Nan Qiao, who had just come to his senses, was left with a blushing face.

······

As the sun sets and the journey is far away, what will happen in this world ? When we bid farewell in the long pavilion, don’t forget to look back. There is a long pavilion about ten miles outside Qiuluo City , which is a famous place for farewell.

The carriage driven by Shen Kuang is now parked outside the pavilion. Su Yao has been taken out by him and put back in the carriage. The carriage is covered with soft quilts, so it can protect her when she has to travel a long way in the future. .

Senior Han and Shi Yu have already got out of the carriage and are giving instructions before leaving. The afternoon breeze was mixed with warmth and was blowing the clothes of several people.

"Senior, Shigure, let's leave first. See you later!"

"Boy, take good care of that girl!"

"I understand, senior."

"Brother Shen." Shi Yu looked at Shen Kuang with red eyes and shouted.

Shen Kuang also touched Shi Yu's hair with some reluctance and said softly, "Brother, I will bring you something nice next time I come."

Outside the pavilion, beside the ancient road, a young man drove a carriage slowly toward the distance!
