In the early morning, when the phoenix trees fell, the owner of the noodle shop stared dully at many busy plasterers and carpenters.
Obviously, some people from the government registered the loss yesterday and directly paid some silver taels as compensation, but this morning, another group of people directly started to repair the destroyed houses near Wutongluo, and just looked at the materials they used, and rebuilt them. The house will be much better than the original.
A large amount of wood and masonry occupy most of the street, making it difficult for horse-drawn carriages to pass.
A man in a cotton jacket got out of the carriage, walked around the sundries slowly, and walked towards the wine shop and the small courtyard where Xue Wangxu was.
Zhang Yi happened to be pouring wash water at the door, and when she saw this man, Zhang Yi immediately put down the basin in her hand, wiped her hands, and saluted, "Mr. Wang Taixu."
Sensing the aura of the man who was approaching again, Zhang Yi was stunned again, admiringly congratulating her and said, "Congratulations, sir, for breaking through."
The man who came here is Wang Taixu, it seems that he is still as thin and weak as before, but his complexion is not as dry and pale as before, and there is a faint gleam of light on his face.
From Zhang Yi's perception, there seemed to be another world in Wang Taixu's body, which was as empty as a valley, but contained powerful power that could be gushed out at any time.
This completely different made him understand that Wang Taixu had broken through from the fifth realm to the sixth realm, and seemed to have merged with the natal object, and started to cultivate the natal sword.
As a cultivator from the market, Wang Taixu reached the sixth realm in his prime. This speed of practice convinced Zhang Yi sincerely.
Hearing Zhang Yi's congratulations, Wang Taixu smiled back.
Ding Ning walked out of the small courtyard at this time, glanced at Wang Taixu, half seriously, half jokingly said: "You are finally not too empty."
Wang Taixu looked at him seriously, and said: "If you hadn't given me some Jingqiong ointment, maybe I'm still very empty."
Zhang Yi was stunned, until now, he didn't know that Ding Ning actually gave Wang Taixu some of the extremely precious box of Jingqiong ointment sent by the deputy head of the Rites Department.
"Have you found out where those dead men came from?"
Ding Ning looked disapproving, changed the topic directly, and asked calmly.
Since those dead men were used to assassinate Fusu, the people who set up the plot behind them would naturally not make it possible for people to find out the connection between them and the real mastermind, but Changling's street figures are more different than those of the government. As a means, they can find some footprints left by these people in Changling City.
"It's not outsiders, they've all stayed in Changling for more than two years." Wang Taixu looked at him and said, "It's just that they haven't even revealed their identities as practitioners in the past two years, and two of them even stayed in Changling." Ling has already married and started a business, and even his wife and children don't know their identity as practitioners."
Ding Ning said: "This is hidden deep enough."
Wang Taixu glanced at him and said, "Can I talk alone?"
Ding Ning frowned, there are no outsiders here, Wang Taixu said so, there must be some extremely important event.
"good!"
He nodded and turned directly to the wine shop.
After Wang Taixu walked into the wine shop, he closed the doors of the wine shop, and said in a voice that only he and Ding Ning could hear, "There is something I want to hear from you."
Ding Ning glanced at him and said, "What kind of important matter has made you so cautious? If you have something to say, you can finish it at once, otherwise you will be anxious to death."
"It's a huge thing."
Wang Taixu said softly: "It should be Zhao Si."
Ding Ning's face was slightly stiff, and he immediately came to his senses, and said cautiously: "You found her trace?"
Wang Taixu nodded in a slow gesture, and said softly: "After the battle outside the fish market, she did not flee to the mountains and wilderness outside Changling, but turned back to Changling and rented a room in Chunfenglou. The house and the Chunfeng Building happen to be our property. The female boss in the building has no other strengths, but she was born in the palace as a court lady. The breath, demeanor and behavior of men, women, and even eunuchs are different, but they can be seen at a glance. I can figure it out. That person is obviously a girl, but she has occupied a room for a long time. It is very weird. I naturally went to have a look, but even I can only confirm that she is a practitioner, and I can't even feel her cultivation level. , It’s just that I have just arrived at the natal realm, and I can vaguely feel that her natal aura is unstable. Coupled with the rumors in the market, I think the most likely one is Zhao Si.”
Ding Ning took a deep breath.
Many people in Changling now know that after the battle on the Weihe River, Bai Shanshui, Zhao Si, and Zhao Yi were all seriously injured and fled. Among them, Zhao Yi lost a sword, and Zhao Si's natal sword was destroyed. He was intercepted and killed by a powerful practitioner of the Great Qin Dynasty, and his life and death were unknown at this time.
However, who would have thought that after suffering such a severe injury, Zhao Si would turn around and lurk in Changling
"This is a real survival from the dead. Zhao Jianlu's people are indeed desperate existences."
Ding Ning slowly exhaled the cool air in his lungs, looked at Wang Taixu and said: "Zhao Si can't die...you can't use her to get some benefits. There are still people in Zhao Jianlu. She has an accident on your territory. In the future, two One floor may not be able to survive alone."
"What I want is not to do anything, just act as if I have never discovered her identity." Wang Taixu looked at Ding Ning, and said in a solemn and soft voice.
Ding Ning shook his head and said, "This is a chance."
Wang Taixu frowned, and asked humbly: "What do you mean?"
"Bai Shanshui entered the fish market, and Zhao Si appeared. Even we might feel that there is some connection between Zhao Jianlu's people and the fish market. The person who set up the game may know certain things more precisely... Since Zhao Si If there is an intersection with the Jianghu figures in the fish market, they will naturally think that Zhao Si may also have intersections with other Jianghu figures." Ding Ning narrowed his eyes slightly, and said slowly: "Without your help to cover up, I'm afraid Zhao Si will be found out soon, and then you think you have no problem with her, and those big shots may not think so."
After a pause, Ding Ning raised his head and looked into Wang Taixu's eyes, and continued: "As for Zhao Si, she should know that you are the most capable person in Changling...so she may not just hug you when she comes to Chunfeng Tower. With the idea that you can hide."
Wang Taixu thought carefully for a few breaths, and said with a wry smile: "This is a hot potato that is hot to the touch."
"It's a hot potato that's hot." Ding Ning looked at him and said calmly, "But the hot potato is edible. You can send Jing Mozong to her in exchange."
Wang Taixu was slightly taken aback: "Jing Mozong?"
Ding Ning glanced at him, and said: "You can't make long-term plans if you are rebellious, especially people like Zhao Jianlu who are always hanging on the tip of the sword. You must not have a long-term relationship with them. For them, it is better to charge one more Disciples, especially a disciple who is very suitable for their swordsmanship, they should not refuse, as long as they are Zhao Jianlu's disciples, they are naturally enemies in the eyes of Da Qin, and they are naturally willing to create another enemy for King Da Qin. Changling's life depends not on how useful you are to those big men, but on how many powerful swords you have in your hands. So you protect Zhao Si from death and ask her to raise a sword for you."
Wang Taixu pondered and said: "Are you sure the Jing Mo Sect is suitable?"
Ding Ning said seriously: "I have fought with him before, and I am sure he is suitable. As for the aptitude... It is said that more than half of Zhao Jianlu's disciples are stubborn irons with poor aptitude. The reason why the great master of Zhao Jianlu was born There is such a reason for the awe. The great master passed on the mantle to Zhao Si, and even Zhao Yi was given to Zhao Si to teach, so Zhao Si naturally has the ability to forge iron."
After Wang Taixu made a decision, he relaxed and began to admire Zhao Si, he couldn't help but shook his head, and said softly: "No one thought that Mr. Zhao Si, who is well-known all over the world, is actually a woman, and he has such courage."
Ding Ning said calmly: "If you are attracted by her, it means that you have a good spirit."
Wang Taixu smiled wryly, looked at him and said, "Others don't know, but you gave me half of my courage."
Ding Ning's face was still absolutely calm, but his breathing became slightly hot.
This was definitely an accident that he hadn't expected at all. Zhao Jianlu's sword would actually have a connection with him in this way.
As long as there is a connection, it is possible to take advantage of the situation.
…
…
A taciturn boy walked through the streets.
He was wearing an exceptionally heavy fur shirt, and it was not the common fox fur and deerskin, but the fur of the snow wolf that came from a very cold place.
Although this kind of fur is fluffy, it is not soft, and it looks extraordinarily vigorous.
In the weather of Changling at this time, there are very few people wearing such thick clothes.
According to common people's understanding, people who wear particularly thick clothes are more afraid of the cold than ordinary people, and most of them come from areas where the seasons are warm like spring. However, in fact, many people from particularly cold places are more afraid of the cold.
Their fear of the cold is like a habit, a kind of psychological coldness, because in the space where they usually move, they are very likely to encounter extremely harsh environments, so the constant threat of death forces them to be more careful and force them to develop Get into the habit of always being as full and warm as possible.
Such was the case with this young man.
His eyes were cold, coupled with the thick fur on his body, he looked like a wolf standing and walking.
"Li Xixing, do you want to deal with that young man from Wutongluo Wine Shop?" Suddenly, a voice sounded from the carriage not far in front of him.
