In spring, the sun is just right.
Qin Yun was lying on a chair, sipping tea.
"Xiaoshuang's reputation has soared now, and she has entered the top ten in this election. Seven days later, she will board the painting boat with nine other famous courtesans, and have a real final competition for the oiran." Qin Yun shook his head slightly, "It's just her There is not enough time for her fame to slowly spread, and those who really pursue her may not be as good as Fairy Qingqiu and Miss Xiangyi. It is a little risky to be in the top three, and it is even more difficult to win the top three."
Seven days later, the real contest for the crown jewel will be held.
At that time, ten famous prostitutes will compete for beauty on the painting boat, each using their own means, and the onlookers will be crowded with crowds. The top three will be decided on that day, and the final oiran will be decided. That was a major event in Guangling County!
"The star-pattern steel that I got last time has been refined, and some of the materials I brought with me won't last for a few days!" Qin Yun thought to himself, "It seems that I have to purchase a lot, and I can't stop practicing my natal flying sword for a day. , when the Flying Sword of Fate is refined, my strength will also greatly increase."
"Um?"
There was a very low vibration coming from the ground, and most people couldn't feel it, but Qin Yun's sensitivity was so keen that his expression changed slightly: "A lot of people are coming towards my Qin residence?"
*****
on the street.
"It's the Sheriff."
"Get out of the way, get out of the way."
"Stay away."
No matter if it's a commoner, a gangster, a rich businessman, or even a son of a wealthy family, all of them quickly backed away without daring to offend them.
In Guangling County, the governor is the sky! Absolute emperor!
A luxury carriage was slowly driven by two horses, surrounded by a large group of armored guards, each of whom was extremely powerful. Even if the old demon Chu Yong dared to charge into the personal guard of the Sheriff, there would only be one result - torn to pieces!
"Where is the Sheriff going?"
"It's fine that there is only one Qin Mansion around, but the county guard has never been to the Qin Mansion before."
"You don't know that, the second son of the Qin family 'Qin Yun' is a god among gods, and the county guard must be here because of the second son of the Qin family."
"So what if you knock on the immortal gate, Lord Sheriff, guarding millions of people in one side, ordinary cultivators would not dare to do anything wrong in the face of Lord Sheriff."
There were whispers everywhere.
…
At the gate of the Qin Mansion.
Qin Liehu, his wife Chang Lan, the eldest son Qin An, and the second son Qin Yun are already waiting.
Mrs. Chang Lan asked suspiciously: "Liehu, since we moved to Guangling County City for so many years, the Lord Sheriff has never been to our house, right? Even if he wanted to see you, he would send someone to summon you directly. How could he come in person?"
"I'm afraid he didn't come to see me, but our son." Qin Liehu also said in a low voice.
"See Yun'er?" Chang Lan asked repeatedly, "Yun'er just came back, why did he come to see Yun'er?"
Qin Liehu said: "How do I know this? But Yun'er is only twenty-one this year, and it has only been a few years since he opened the fairy gate. It stands to reason that he should not pay so much attention to Yun'er. What I want. Yun'er, in his capacity, if he really asks you for something, it must not be an easy matter, so don't agree easily. You need to be cautious."
"My child understands." Qin Yun nodded.
Qin Liehu nodded slightly.
In his heart, the safety of his son is naturally the most important thing.
Qin Yun looked at it from a distance, and at a glance he could tell that the luxury carriage was not a mortal thing, and the carriage had a strange luster, even a strong bow and crossbow would never be able to break through it. And there were five people beside the carriage, these five people included an old man and a woman, and they were riding horses, and they were all very extraordinary. There are hundreds of personal guards around, each of these personal guards has a divine light inside, and their every move has great power.
"The county guard's mansion, the personal guards." Qin Yun secretly said, "It is said that half of the masters in the entire Guangling County are in the county guard's mansion! Although it is a bit exaggerated, there is some truth to it. If you come to kill, you can only run for your life."
"Law~~~"
The carriage stopped.
From the carriage, a middle-aged man got off first, and followed him carefully helping an old man to get off the carriage.
"My lower official, Qin Liehu, pay my respects to the governor." Qin Liehu immediately saluted respectfully, and behind him his wife and the two young masters also saluted. Standing back, Qin Yun also saluted.
There were hundreds of people around, but it was quiet.
The old man was quite old, with gray hair, looking at Qin Liehu with cloudy eyes, and said with a smile: "There is no need to be polite, I came to Mr. Qin's house today, and I also want to meet the great hero of our Guangling County .” Said, turned to Qin Yun and smiled.
"A great hero?" Qin Liehu was a little puzzled. Although his son was a practitioner, he couldn't be considered a great hero if he was a practitioner.
"Lord Sheriff, please come in quickly." Qin Liehu didn't think much of it, and immediately led the way aside.
A group of people waited to enter the mansion.
Come to the main hall.
The old man, the woman and other four masters were guarding outside the hall, the old county guard only brought two people into the hall, and Qin Liehu also only brought Qin Yun into the hall.
In the main hall.
The old county guard naturally sat at the main seat, Qin Liehu and Qin Yun sat on the side, and the other two middle-aged people sat on the side.
"Let me introduce you." The old county guard pointed to the nearest green-robed man, "This is Brother Fang, who has also worked hard to be the commander of my personal guards temporarily."
"Commander Fang."
Qin Liehu and Qin Yun immediately surrendered slightly.
Qin Liehu even said repeatedly: "Yun'er, Commander Fang Da is the number one expert in Guangling County, and he is also an innate Void Core Realm expert."
"In front of little brother Qin Yun, I'm not an expert." The green-robed man smiled lightly.
"Before I returned to Guangling, I heard that there are two innate Void Core Realm seniors in Guangling County, one is Commander Fang, and the other is Master Mei Xia." Qin Yun said with a smile, "Commander Fang sits in Guangling, protecting One side is safe, and I admire it very much."
In the entire Guangling County, there are only two masters of the innate illusory alchemy realm, and one of the innate illusory alchemy masters has taken refuge in the imperial court and served as the commander of the guards for the county guard! In the whole world, the commanders of the personal guards of every county... are almost always taken by people who are born in the Void Core Realm. This shows that the imperial court attaches great importance to the "Junshou".
After all, the imperial court was also worried that the "prefect" it had sent would be attacked and beheaded by monsters.
Therefore, the military force under the command of the county guard is naturally the army in the county, which has more than ten thousand people, strong soldiers and horses, and many powerful weapons. The second place is the 'Professional Guards' who are always protecting the Sheriff. Although the number of the Guards is only 600, they are absolute elites. . In the third place are the arresters of Six Doors, maintaining the safety of hundreds of thousands of people in the city.
"It's overrated." Commander Fang smiled lightly, "I can't compare with little brother Qin Yun. Little brother Qin Yun really protects countless lives."
"Don't be modest, both of you." The old county sheriff pointed to the elegant middle-aged man sitting next to Commander Fang, "This is Wen Chong, my son."
Greetings from both parties.
The county guard's son 'Wen Chong' immediately said: "I have been wanting to visit since I found out about Brother Qin Yun, and I only have the chance today. Brother Qin Yun, dare to ask what is the 'monster calamity' at the northern border pass?" What does it look like? I heard it's extremely scary?"
"Northern border?" Qin Liehu was surprised.
"Why, Mr. Qin doesn't know yet?" The old county guard laughed.
Qin Liehu was puzzled, and turned to look at his son.
Qin Yun was helpless.
He didn't want his parents to worry, so he kept silent.
Seeing this, Wen Chong said repeatedly: "I am the one who talks too much."
"After all, I still have to tell my parents." Qin Yun shook his head and said, "When I traveled around the world, I also came to the far north, wanting to see the northern border gate that is said to resist the evil. There were too many tragedies, and I joined the army only in anger, and I only stayed for three years."
"Three years?" Qin Liehu was surprised, "Yun'er, have you been in the northern border gate for three years?"
"That kind of place is very tragic. There are a lot of casualties every day, and the monsters also die one after another." The old county guard said, "It's amazing, amazing to be able to stay there for three years."
Commander Fang said: "According to the records passed down by the imperial court, little brother Qin Yun killed quite a few monsters."
"Acting in the army." Qin Yun shook his head, "It's about cooperating with each other, not my own strength."
"It's a skill to be able to kill so many people and still survive," Commander Fang said.
Qin Yun was taken aback, then nodded slightly: "Yes, it's not easy to survive."
those friends.
Either to sharpen oneself, or to accumulate merit, or because of a passion. In short, practitioners come from all corners of the country, but they all go to the northern border to resist the evil.
In three years, more than half of those who died in battle! There are also those who are seriously injured, and only 20 to 30% of them really leave safely. I have stayed for a long time, because of a promise, I stayed for three years before leaving!
Scenes from memory flashed before my eyes.
Those smiling faces.
The madness between life and death.
The figure who went to death and sang.
"Practitioners, living in seclusion is practice, in the world of mortals is practice, and in the army is also practice." Qin Yun said.
"Haha, what Young Master Qin said is reasonable, and everything is about cultivation. I came today to meet a great hero like Young Master Qin. Second, I want your help with something, Young Master Qin." said the old county guard.
"Here we come." Qin Liehu's heart tightened.
"Sir, please tell me." Qin Yun was calm.
The old county guard smiled and said: "In the highest mountain 'Cangya Mountain' in Guangling County, there is a spiritual fruit conceived deep in the mountain, and there is only more than one month left before the spiritual fruit matures. When the fruit is ripe, help me to get the fruit. Of course, you are not alone, there are two other companions. Of course, I will not treat Mr. Qin badly."
Wen Chong at the side immediately took out a thick stack of banknotes from his pocket, stepped forward and put them on the coffee table beside Qin Yun, Qin Yun glanced at them, and found that the top one was in denomination of one thousand taels.
"A total of one hundred thousand taels." Wen Chong smiled.
Qin Liehu gasped.
One hundred thousand taels
