After several days of heavy snow, the sky finally ushered in a bright light, the warm sunshine poured down, and the silvery white all over the mountains and plains began to melt.
This was already the fourth day since she parted ways with her father. Shen Qing was heading south alone.
To be honest, he didn't know if he could find Yu Yao, and he didn't even have a clear destination in mind. He only knew to keep going south, because that was the direction where he last saw Yu Yao.
"Brother, what if you can't find it?"
The childish voice sounded. About a hundred miles away from Qinglu Road, at the door of the small inn in front of the intersection, a little girl like a porcelain doll raised her face and asked.
"I said she is very important to me, and I will definitely find her." Shen Qing smiled, drank the warm wine on the table, and looked out through the gap in the cotton curtain.
On the avenue outside the door, a merchant convoy consisting of dozens of people was on their way. The flag looked familiar, and they thought it belonged to the Zhang family on Qinglu Road.
Qinglu Dao had just suffered a catastrophe. Except for a few families that were wiped out by the Tianlang Gang, other families, even if they were not so miserable, were still slightly or severely traumatized. Logically speaking, it only lasted four or five days. No family should be able to
Start doing business immediately.
unless.
My father really called everyone together, and Qinglu Road has transformed from the ancient tradition of fighting against each other into a star-studded one.
Shen Qing was quite relieved in his heart. Shen Qing could think that his father would bring Qinglu Road back on track sooner or later, but he never expected that it would only take four short days.
I wanted to go out and say hello, but then I thought about it and decided not to go looking for Yu Yao. It is very likely that I will go to the end of the world for years. Before I find her, it is best not to let these people or things arouse my nostalgia.
"Brother, we have indeed never met the person you are talking about, but according to what you said, what you are looking for should be a powerful person, right?" Nvwa's grandfather is an old man with white hair. He thought for a moment and said.
Shen Qing's heart moved and she hurriedly said: "Please tell me more details, please!"
"Tsk, old man, I don't have very good eyesight either. I can't guarantee whether it's dazzling, but if I'm not mistaken, this morning, a brilliance like fireworks went west from here."
"Firework-like brilliance?"
Shen Qing frowned. Obviously, what the father-in-law was describing should be a Yuan Xiu who possesses the Yuan Yuan weapon, but Yu Yao did not have the Yuan Yuan weapon.
but!
This place is not very far from Qinglu Road. Generally speaking, it belongs to the unclaimed area where Qinglu Road meets the other side. Therefore, there are neither gangs nor families here. Suddenly, a Yuan Xiu who possesses the Yuan Yuan weapon appears, and
Not normal.
After all, in small areas of power like Qinglu Road and Qinglu Road, Yuanqi is actually a rare thing. Therefore, Shen Qing feels that the so-called "fireworks" may have come from Hu Xi's soul.
The mysterious man who was "rummaged"!
Of course, it's possible, but it's also highly likely that it's not. No one can say that this is a bad thing.
"Thank you, husband. This is the money for the drinks."
Shen Qing took out ten taels of silver from the Qiankun Ring and placed it on the table, cupped his hands, turned around and left.
"Hey, little brother, we don't need so much!"
Behind him, the father-in-law led his granddaughter to run after him. Shen Qing waved his hand, stepped on the air shuttle and flew away.
...
If you follow this clue, you will most likely end up wasting time and finding nothing, but what else can you do if you don't look for it? It's better to have clues than aimlessly.
After traveling westwards for hundreds of miles, the sky suddenly turned dark, and the area had entered "Xici City". This was a town slightly larger than Qinglu Road, but it was also under the jurisdiction of the Wanren Mountains.
Generally speaking, it can be regarded as the tail of Wanrenshan level forces.
After Shen Qing arrived here, he went to inquire again. He didn't have high hopes at first, but he never thought that he would find more detailed information!
"A person riding a colorful streamer came here this evening. He stayed for about half an hour and then left again. After this person left, the sound of crying in many houses shook the sky, and children were lost!"
This is the news that Shen Qing inquired about. Although he is still not sure that it is related to the search for Yu Yao, at least he can be sure that the "man riding the colorful streamer" is an evil cultivator, because he has been with Ku Chan for so long.
I know very well the methods of evil cultivators.
And since he is an evil cultivator, the probability of being involved with the Sirius Gang will be greatly increased, and the probability of being the target person he is looking for is also constantly increasing!
In addition, the colorful streamers and the fireworks described by the father-in-law are quite similar, and they are probably the same person.
Shen Qing was shocked, and set off again regardless of the dark sky. The direction mentioned by the wine shop owner was still west, and many family heads in Xici City had already joined forces to pursue them. If he could keep up with them, he might get more.
clue.
In terms of the development of Yuandao, Xici City is definitely better than Qinglu Dao, but it is not much better and is quite behind. The air-control element is still a rare item.
However, Xici City has a unique treasure, which is the giant flying crow that can only be captured within their sphere of influence. If this beast is properly tamed, it can easily replace the air-controlling weapon.
Therefore, Shen Qing spent a lot of effort to find the large army in Xici City. Of course, before actively joining the opponent, he put away the air-control elements to avoid giving the opponent a bad impression of being too important.
At this time, the sky was completely dark, and about a few miles ahead, the people of Xici City were at a standstill, resting or discussing countermeasures. In short, the bonfire was blazing, giving Shen Qing a very clear guidance.
Landing on a nearby trail, Shen Qing walked quickly and reached his destination after a while.
Seeing outsiders approaching, several guards looked cautious and had already grasped the hilts of their knives.
Shen Qing quickly raised his hand and said politely: "Can I ask, are the masters of Xici City here?"
The head of the house is the head of the house, and he specially added the word "big" to make it sound particularly comfortable.
The guard's hostility subsided slightly and he raised his head and said, "Who are you and what do you want?"
"I'm sorry, I may be a little abrupt, but if it's convenient for me, brother, could you send a message for me and tell me that I have something important to discuss with some of the leaders?"
Shen Qing handed over his hand again and took out a whole bag of silver coins from his arms.
When the guard saw Qian's eyes wide open, he ordered a few of his men to watch over him and then went in to report it himself.
After a while, the guard returned, and with him was a middle-aged man in purple robes. His eyes were bright and shrewd, showing a shrewd and capable energy. He should be a senior manager of a certain family.
"Is that him?" The middle-aged man in purple robe looked at Shen Qing, with a slight hint of contempt in his tone.
"Returning to Manager Chen, it's this guy. I don't think he's a bad person, so that's why..."
The head nurse, who got the advantage, was quite conscientious, but just as he was about to speak for Shen Qing, Manager Chen interrupted him with a wave of his hand.
"Tell him to go to Xici City and wait if anything happens. The owner of the house is currently bored, so how can he care about a young boy like him?"
Shen Qing and Butler Chen were only a few feet apart. Shen Qing could hear him clearly even if he made a slightly louder voice, but he didn't, as if he didn't even bother to raise his voice to Shen Qing. They were only a dozen steps away.
, and even asked the chief guard to send a message!
Shen Qing frowned slightly and said loudly: "Evil cultivators came in and kidnapped countless children. Oh, they are so incompetent and so arrogant!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt the butler's eyes coming towards him like knives, and there seemed to be a sharp swishing sound!
Shen Qing was not afraid at all and looked at him without any deviation.
"Oh, newborn calf, what's the matter? The trouble is all caused by Master Tai Sui?" Butler Chen's face was full of disdain after his anger.
"I didn't mean to cause trouble. If you don't believe me, you can ask the guard brother what my tone was before you came."
"Ha, you'd better change your tone now." Butler Chen sneered, with a hint of evil in his eyes.
In his opinion, this was another guy who wanted to work for the Chen family. Didn't the head of the family just become the leader of the Hundred Family Alliance in Xici City? In order to strengthen his position, he naturally had to recruit talented people.
Therefore, recently there have been too many young people who think they are arrogant and come to visit, but when it comes time to test their strength, most of them turn out to be losers. Obviously, this kid is also that kind of person, otherwise how could he not know how to be humble and respectful?
"I'm pressed for time, and I don't want to talk nonsense to you. Can you lead me to see your master? If not, I'll call you myself."
Shen Qing said impatiently, he came here to seek cooperation with his own capital, rather than asking for help. Being tough in his bones is only one aspect. More importantly, if he is not tough, even if the cooperation is negotiated, he will still have to work hard.
Being treated as an incompetent bastard.
Of course, the other party definitely didn't think so. He just sneered when he heard this, and then said with great contempt and a hint of threat: "You can try shouting."
As soon as he finished speaking, almost everyone felt that Shen Qing would hold his breath and leave. After all, here, Butler Chen is worth more than ten thousand people. With such a status, his strength is second only to the head of the Tianguang Realm family, who is at the peak of Danhai, and is just a teenager.
, even if he is a genius, there is no reason to dare to be presumptuous in front of such a strong person!
However.
"Is the head of the Chen family here? I, the younger generation, have something to discuss!"
The clear voice spread throughout the countryside.
"Are you looking for death?!"
Steward Chen's expression was grim, and he directly signaled the guards to arrest him.
Up to this moment, he still didn't take Shen Qing seriously. He actually thought that a few Danhe guards could take down Shen Qing...
The result was of course in vain. Shen Qing easily dodged several guards and then... went straight to Butler Chen.
The speed was so fast that Steward Chen was extremely shocked. After taking several steps back and still unable to dodge, he could only resist forcefully.
However, when he assumed a posture as if he was facing a formidable enemy, Shen Qing turned around and flew past him, leaving only a sneer of disdain.
Butler Chen turned around, and saw that the young man's figure had already rushed towards the bonfire. Against the backdrop of the moonlight and firelight, it seemed that only afterimages were left.
"Ahem, hey, this guy is not from our Xici City, right?" Butler Chen said with a red face, extremely embarrassed.
The head guard was sensible and responded immediately: "Absolutely not. I have never seen this face in the city. I am afraid it is from a big place."
"Yes!" Butler Chen nodded, as if what you said made sense, "If I guess correctly, it should be our young master from Wanrenshan. Haha, Chen is really blind this time."
Just when Butler Chen was trying to excuse his shame, Shen Qing's drawn-out voice sounded at the right time, really not sparing any face.
"You are really blind. I come from Qinglu Road, a frontier place several times smaller than your Xici City."
"But, in front of me, you are not too impressed. If you are interested, you can give it a try at any time after I finish talking about the business!"
