They went all the way south to inquire about Ruan Qiansu's news, but they didn't get anything. They decided to go to the largest city in the south. The intelligence dealers there are the most amazing. As long as they can afford the money, they can always get favorable clues.
The Su clan's residence, which protects the nobles in the south, is located in Luwu City, which is connected to the estuary of the East China Sea. It is the richest and most prosperous city in the entire Tianling Continent. Nearly 90% of overseas exotic items landed at the port of Luwucheng.
When I came to Luwu City, it was already late, but the whole city was brightly lit and the river flowed endlessly. The port was especially lively.
They disguised themselves as travelers and entered the city. The southern cities are warm and welcoming. The streets are crowded with shops and stalls, and everyone has a relaxed face. Compared with people in the central, northern and eastern regions, it is almost as if they do not live in the same world.
Qiao Yan whispered: "It seems that the south has not been affected for the time being."
King Ren shook his head: "It's just not the time yet, the coastal areas are relatively remote, and at the same time they are rich and self-reliant, and they are less affected by the imperial power, but if the war breaks out in an all-round way, Yushi will not let go of the fat meat in the south. "
"As a strange beast, why do you like those jewels, gold and silver of humans?"
Zhi Xuan pouted: "I have visited his cave before, and he almost hollowed out an entire mountain to bury the jewels he obtained in various ways. Buried so much. He never spends money because he doesn't want things that money can buy, he never wears them, he just likes to keep those shiny things for himself."
"He does have something in common with me." Jiang Chaoge said, "Then what happened to his entire mountain of treasure after he was sealed?"
Zhi Xuan shook his head: "I don't know."
"where?"
"forget."
Jiang Chaoge murmured in disappointment.
Zhi Xuan said: "If you like it, I will give you all the treasures in the world, why do you need that evil beast?"
"How are you going to give it to me?"
"You can take whatever you want. Isn't the Su family very rich? Let's go to his house to get it."
Jiang Chaoge sighed, "That's called grabbing."
Zhi Xuan asked in confusion, "What about robbing?"
"... In short, it can't be robbed."
"Then do you want it?" Zhi Xuan snorted, "Humans are really troublesome."
Jiang Chaoge pinched his little face: "Humans are so troublesome, bear with it."
Zhi Xuan put his chin on Jiang Chaoge's shoulder depressed, and began to bite Jiang Chaoge's collar involuntarily.
Prince Ren suddenly frowned: "I smell the scent of the cloud."
Si Si was startled and said: "Xianyun is in Luwu City?"
"No, this is the smell of Xianyun left in Luwu City. It's very faint. It should have been a few days ago."
"Xianyun must have come to Luwu City to find Sister Qiansu."
"It would be great if Qiansu was hiding in Luwu City. There is a large population here, and it is not easy to find her. Unfortunately, it is not easy for us to find her." Jiang Chaoge narrowed his eyes and looked at Jian Gao in the distance. A palace on the slope, although the palace is not as magnificent as the palace, but the luxury is far above the palace, and even the eaves are wrapped in gold foil, but the corner of the palace is obviously charred and black, obviously it has experienced a fire.
Everyone followed his gaze, and they were also a little surprised. Zuiyou said: "I heard that Suzaku did it."
Jiang Chaoge also thought about the rumors that Qiao Yan had said. From a distance, Su's palace was not very burnt, it was just a southeast corner, but if he got closer, he would probably find that the burnt area was not too small.
Zhi Xuan smiled gleefully and said, "It really seems like something Hong Yuan would do."
King Ren said: "The city is full of the smell of Hongyuan. It should have left, but it hasn't left for too long. There are too many people in the city, so I'm not very sure."
Jiang Chao Ge thought: "Should I go to Hongyuan for a while?"
"Xianyun must have seen Hongyuan. Hongyuan has always disliked Xianyun. He may have left Luwu City in order to avoid Xianyun."
Jiang Chaoge nodded: "We still need to find Qiansu first."
They were temporarily staying in an inn. Jiang Chaoge inquired a little and found out which gang was the largest in Luwucheng. He took a bag of gold coins and left the inn alone.
The gang's hall is a jewelry store. Half of the items in the shop are from foreign countries. Jiang Chaoge walked into the shop and turned around. It was really eye-opening. The style and the price are pretty scary.
When Jiang Chaoge treated few people, he walked around to the boss. The boss smiled and said, "What do you want to choose?"
"I'm looking for someone." Jiang Chaoge slapped the bag on the table and said neatly.
The gold coins in that bag collided with each other, making a luxurious sound.
The boss's eyes lit up, but he pushed the bag back: "Sir, let's talk inside." The boss called the guy to see the shop and took Jiang Chaoge into the back room.
"Sir, please take a seat." The boss shook his robe and sat down in the chair, "Why did your lord find us?"
"The Nanqing Gang is the largest gang in the south. It spreads branches and leaves in various cities in the south. The news should be the most well-informed. Isn't it right for me to find you?"
The boss smiled: "My lord wants to find someone in the south. If we can't find it, no one will be able to find it."
"Then why don't you accept it?"
"I want to know who the lord is looking for first. For some people, it's not that we can't find them, but that we can't find them."
Jiang Chaoge narrowed his eyes: "For example?"
"Like a woman, a woman who came here from the north."
Jiang Chaoge rubbed his fingers, thought for a moment, and said, "I'm not the first to look for her."
"no."
"Who else has found her?"
"It's not convenient for me to disclose this, the adults should know better than me."
"You all refused?"
"I didn't refuse the first time, but I lost sixteen brothers. They disappeared completely. I don't even know how or where they died." We don't want to provoke her even more, so please come back, my lord."
Jiang Chaoge pondered for a moment: "You know where she is."
The boss shook his head: "I knew it before, but I don't know now."
"But you can find it."
The boss shook his head again: "I won't look for it."
"How much do you want?"
"My lord, this is not money..."
"There are ten gold coins in this bag." Jiang Chaoge threw the bag to the boss, "It's just a gift to the boss, if you can tell me about her and how much you want, I'll give it with both hands. "
The boss grabbed the purse, and a trace of depression flashed in his eyes. There are too many dignitaries in Luwucheng, and rich people are everywhere, but it is absolutely rare to be as bold as Jiang Chaoge. That's a whole ten gold coins!
Jiang Chaoge smiled and said: "I don't need the boss to arrest the woman for me, nor will I reveal my source of information to anyone, I just need to know where she is. I think the boss is a smart person, I live in Suzhou Nan Inn, if you figure it out and think you shouldn't miss out on such a big deal, you can come to me at any time." Jiang Chaoge stood up and walked out.
The boss also stood up: "Sir, stay."
Jiang Chaoge turned his head.
The boss came over and handed him the purse: "I, I can't take it, please take it back, sir, I don't want to get involved." His tone was obviously not strong enough.
"Just accepting the money, not mixing it in, I promise I won't come to you again." Jiang Chaoge returned the money bag and turned away.
Jiang Chaoge walked out of the jewelry store and sighed. He brought a lot of gold from his own world. Those ten gold coins were nothing to him, but he was only half sure about whether the boss would come. Moreover, he heard that so many people were looking for Ruan Qiansu. , he felt heavier.
After returning to the inn, he told the situation, and Sisi said disappointedly: "Are we putting our hopes on a stranger?"
Zuiyou shook his head: "This is not right, we have to think of other ways."
Jiang Chaoge sighed: "There is another way, that is to let Zhi Xuan show his body and lead Ruan Qiansu out, but then our whereabouts will be exposed, and it is possible to attract Xianyun and the other three beasts. Our situation is precarious."
Si Si hugged his head and rubbed his hair irritably: "Ah, where is Sister Qiansu!"
"Wait." Jiang Chaoge said solemnly, "I think that boss will come to me."
They temporarily stayed at the Sunan Inn, and they paid a lot of money to invite the most famous soul guide in Luwu City to heal Long Xiang. Under the treatment of the soul guide, Long Xiang's body improved greatly and he was finally able to get out of bed. . It's just that although his body is improving, his mood has been very low. The disappearance of Yu Renshu and Ruan Qiansu has dealt him a big blow. Jiang Chaoge can't understand the frustration of trying to protect something but unable to do what he can. Long Xiang has taken on too many burdens that do not belong to his age. Jiang Chaoge even thought, he already has so much gold, should he collect the money for Long Xiang to buy a fleet and let him find his hometown, but he knows , With Long Xiang's personality, it is impossible for him to leave now.
Unknowingly, their friendship has become deeper and stronger in several life-and-death adventures. From initially reluctantly forming a team with their own concerns and goals, to now, Jiang Chaoge himself can't believe it. , one day he will try to get rid of the selfishness in his personality and become such a person, which makes him no longer lonely and stronger than before.
"Is there any news from Yinchuan yet?"
King Ren shook his head: "He said that as soon as there is news, he will send Yunxi's Poison Birds to Qingqiu Mountain to find us. If the Poison Birds go to Qingqiu Mountain, they will know that we have come to Luwu City, but this letter returns to Yin Chuan's place, I don't know how long it will take, how to calculate, Yin Chuan will not know our news soon, and we have no way of knowing his news."
Jiang Chaoge was so desperate for this world without a phone, he waved his hand irritably and turned back to his room.
Zhi Xuan followed behind him. Seeing how upset he was, he wanted to comfort him but didn't know what to say. After thinking for a while, he said, "Chao Ge, what do you want me to do for you?"
Jiang Chaoge raised his head and looked at Zhi Xuan's clear eyes, his heart trembled, and a warm current rushed to his heart, and it flowed all over his body like a flood, making even his fingertips warm. Zhi Xuan was so simple and sincere, which made him feel that there was no flaw in such feelings.
Zhi Xuan said: "You said, I will do whatever you want me to do. I'm not afraid of Xianyun, let alone Fen Nian, Xiaoxue, and Youshi. I can defeat them, so revealing whereabouts is no big deal."
Jiang Chaoge touched his face and smiled reluctantly, "Now we're not doing anything."
Zhi Xuan frowned, his expression was very struggling: "Since you came back, you have never been happy again. Do you know that a bad mood will shorten your lifespan
"I… "
"You don't need to say anything, I can guess what you're going to say. You feel uncomfortable because Yu Renshu and Ruan Qiansu are gone, so I'll go get them back, even if they lose their cultivation, it doesn't matter." Zhi Xuan He poked the corner of his mouth and said sadly, "I want to see you really smile at me."
Jiang Chaoge's eyes were hot, and he suddenly hugged Zhi Xuan. He hugged with great strength, his arms and even his entire body were trembling slightly. Zhi Xuan immediately hugged him back and wanted to rub him into his body. inside.
Jiang Chaoge said in a trembling voice: "If I didn't have you, what would I do..." This sentence was completely from his heart, without the slightest intention. From the moment he came to Tianling Continent and picked up the Zhi Xuan Saber, his life journey He couldn't live without Zhi Xuan anymore, if there was no Zhi Xuan, how could he have gotten to where he is today.
Zhi Xuan took a deep breath and said moved: "You are always better at talking than I am, and I wanted to say this too."
Jiang Chaoge buried his forehead on Zhi Xuan's shoulder, breathing in the smell of Zhi Xuan's body, the smell could calm his turbulent emotions and comfort his wounded heart.
Zhi Xuan stopped talking, just hugged him tightly. He liked Jiang Chaoge's high-spirited appearance carrying a big sword to kill the enemy bravely, he also liked Jiang Chaoge's cunning and resourceful appearance, and he liked Jiang Chaoge's frankness and madness in lust. , but what he liked most was Jiang Chaoge's vulnerability and dependence only in front of him, which made him feel very clearly that this was a female beast that only belonged to him.
The two didn't do anything, just hugged tightly for a long time, because this complete hug is worth a thousand words.
Jiang Chaoge didn't know when he fell asleep, maybe because he was too tired during this time, he fell asleep in Zhi Xuan's arms.
In the middle of the night, Zhi Xuan suddenly turned over and jumped off the bed. Jiang Chaoge was very alert and woke up suddenly, he said hoarsely, "What's wrong?"
"Someone threw something in through the window." Zhi Xuan picked up a cork from the ground, with a strip of cloth tied to it.
Jiang Chaoge sat up abruptly, grabbed the cloth strip and tore it apart. There were a few words on it: Painted Wushan.
Jiang Chaoge grabbed Zhi Xuan's hand and said, "Could this be a note from the boss?"
Zhi Xuan said: "It is possible, let's go to Qiwu Mountain to see."
Jiang Chaoge looked at the sky: "Qiwu Mountain is very close to here. At your speed, it can be reached in an hour. It is late at night. If we travel in large numbers, it will definitely cause suspicion in the city. Why don't we two go. "
"it is good."
"I'll go and tell Sisi to ask them to find us after dawn." Jiang Chaoge woke Sisi and warned him, then he and Zhixuan left the inn overnight and walked outside the city.
Luwu City is a veritable city that never sleeps, even at this time, there are still pedestrians and many night watchers on the street.
In order not to attract attention, the two walked out of the city, first summoned Feiyifei for a while, and after leaving the range of Luwu City, Zhi Xuancai showed his true body and ran to Qiwu Mountain with Jiang Chaoge.
Zhi Xuan said happily, "This is the best."
"what?"
"I just want you to sit on top of me, the others... hum, I just want to throw them down."
Jiang Chaoge smiled and stroked his horns: "Sitting on you alone is like riding a big boat by yourself. It feels very lonely and frightening."
"why?"
"How can one man drive a boat?"
"But I'm not a boat, and I don't need you to drive it."
"It's a metaphor."
"Can't understand."
Jiang Chaoge said helplessly, "Forget it if you don't understand."
Zhi Xuan quickly ran to Qiwu Mountain, he frowned, "Something's wrong, the mountain smells like a cloud."
"Where's Qianju?"
"She's too young to be close to me and I can't smell her."
"Could it be that Xianyun has already found Qiansu one step ahead of us..." Jiang Chaoge gritted his teeth and said, "Up the mountain, we will go to Xianyun for a while."
Zhi Xuan climbed Qiwu Mountain without hesitation, and he shouted, "Xianyun, come out."
As soon as he finished speaking, a ray of light rose from the mountain, reflecting the entire night sky. A figure rose with the ray of light. It was a tall man. All radiating holy light.
Jiang Chaoge took a closer look and saw that it was a man with long blue-blue hair, a cinnabar mole on the center of his eyebrows, and his flawless handsome face could not find the slightest expression on his face. His eyes were deep and cold, which made people shudder.
Zhi Xuanhan said: "Xianyun..."
The person who came is the ancient alien beast Qinglong - Xianyun.
Jiang Chaoge said, "Did we fall for the trick? Qiansu is not here at all."
Xianyun said coldly: "Yes, only I am waiting for you here."
"Where is Qiansu?"
"She's in my hands and still alive."
Jiang Chaoge narrowed his eyes: "What evidence do you have that she is in your hands?"
Xianyun showed a cold smile: "Why should I prove it to you?"
"What do you want to do."
Xianyun said lightly: "What I want to see is King Ren, why didn't he come."
"Why does King Ren want to see you?"
"King Ren owes me an explanation."
Zhi Xuan laughed loudly: "King Ren owes you? Although King Ren is an idiot, he never owes you anything. When you used him to deal with Yinchuan, did you ever explain to her? Besides, in Prison City You've already met, why didn't you ask him to 'explain'?"
"When Yinchuan was there, how could he tell the truth?" Xianyun seemed to ignore Zhi Xuan at all, his expression was arrogant and arrogant, his eyes were as cold as a thousand-year-old cold pool, "Let King Ren come."
Jiang Chaoge said sharply, "You hand over Ruan Qiansu."
"You won't see her. If I don't have any bargaining chips, how can I come to see you all alone? I know that Zhongming is also in the city."
Jiang Chaoge gritted his teeth and said, "You are bluffing."
Xianyun said coldly: "Are you bluffing, do you have the guts to try it?"
Zhi Xuan grinned, ready to go, as long as Jiang Chaoge said a word, he would rush up to swallow the cloud alive: "It's all you, messing everything up and making my female beast sad, I must bite. kill you!"
Xianyun mocked: "You are still like this, nothing has changed, you believe what others say, so it's best to use it."
Zhi Xuan roared, "You are courting death!"
"Isn't it?" Xianyun seemed to squeeze a few words out of his teeth, and his bright eyes were burning with flames, "You are all played around by the hypocrite Yinchuan, and he has used it to the fullest. He was sealed, and only I knew his true face, but no one believed me, even King Ren betrayed me!"
Jiang Chaoge sternly said: "You all insist on your own words, you may not be more credible than Yinchuan."
Xianyun paused and smiled: "You are also doubting him, right? Human."
Jiang Chaoge was startled: "I never trust anyone."
Zhi Xuan said: "I know better than you what Yin Chuan is like. Although he is long-winded and annoying, you are the traitor who led the heaven soldiers and Wu Zu to destroy us! Not only did you betray King Ren, you also betrayed All alien beasts!"
Xianyun's eyes showed fierce light: "Nonsense! What do you know, a fool who has no brains and never thinks?! Do you know what the essence of heaven and earth is? Do you think only Yinchuan knows, I tell you, I also know !"
Jiang Chaoge was shocked: "What is the essence of heaven and earth?"
"The essence of heaven and earth is a vital treasure of the Jade Emperor. The essence of heaven and earth was discovered by Yinchuan, he awakened it, and he provoked the melee of alien beasts. To do this, the alien beasts, the ancestors, and the soldiers of the sky must all die, and he will have the possibility to dominate the essence of heaven and earth."
Jiang Chaoge snorted coldly: "Ke Yinchuan himself has been sealed, how can you explain it?"
Xianyun Han said: "The seal? The seal is just a tactic to slow down the army. Isn't he awake now? Although other beasts have also woken up, at least he has eliminated the twelve great ancestors. If you continue to be stupid, you will only be able to used again by him."
Zhi Xuan shook his head fiercely, and shouted: "I don't want to listen to your nonsense, I don't believe in Yinchuan, I hate you, a hypocritical traitor, and I hate the three of Fen Nian, Xiao Xue, and You Shi. You bastards, I'm going to kill you!" He said and was about to rush up.
Jiang Chaoge stopped Zhi Xuan, he said: "Xianyun, I want to hear, what are you going to do with the essence of heaven and earth?"
