Nightwatcher

"Who are you?"

The tall and mighty guards looked at Li Lingsu, and saw that this person was handsome and handsome, so he dared not be careless.

"Tell the president that Li Lingsu wants to see him."

The Holy Son stood with his hands behind his back, with a magnificent demeanor. .

One of the guards glanced at him and hurried into the chamber of commerce.

About half an hour later, a middle-aged man dressed as a rich man ran out, looked around at the gate, and locked on to Li Lingsu.

"President Yang, if you don't come here for half a year, don't you come here unharmed?"

Li Lingsu holds the thumb of his left hand with his right hand, and the back of his right hand with his left hand, forming a Tai Chi fish.

A standard Taoist salute.

"Li Daochang, it turned out to be Li Daochang, you are the one who is safe and sound, can you get rid of the pursuit of those two female devils?"

President Yang was overjoyed and warmly greeted him.

"The flight never stops!" Li Lingsu said with emotion.

Then, he looked at Xu Qi'an and Mu Nanzhi, and introduced, "These two are my friends."

President Yang hurriedly clasped his fists together: "I, Yang Youde, have met two heroes."

He knew that Li Lingsu was the holy son of Tianzong, who belonged to the Jianghu people, and his friend, it was always right to call "hero" first.

Mu Nanzhi nodded reservedly.

Xu Qi'an returned the salute with a gentle smile, cupping his fists. This Guild Leader Yang has the cultivation base of the God Realm, and his aura is restrained. Although he has a fat figure and a kind smile, this is just an appearance, and his real combat power is not weak.

This world does not allow ordinary people to make a lot of money. If you want to be rich, you must either have a background or strength.

Under the leadership of Chairman Yang, everyone entered the chamber of commerce and took their seats in the lobby.

After being seated, President Yang ordered the servant girl to serve tea, and said, "Taste the local white tea in Zhangzhou, three of you."

The three picked up the tea cups to taste, Li Lingsu and Xu Qi'an's eyes lit up, and they praised, Mu Nanzhi took a sip, and then put it down gently.

President Yang, who is well-versed in human nature and observant of subtleties, noticed this detail and acted as if he hadn't seen it.

"I heard that there are two ways to drink old white tea, one is to wake up, and the other is not. I just think this tea is delicious. I don't know which one it belongs to?"

Li Lingsu smiled.

At the same time, he sent a voice transmission to Xu Qi'an and Mu Nanzhi: "Yang Youde loves tea. Although I have a relationship with the eldest lady of the Leizhou Chamber of Commerce, the Red-tailed Eagle is the lifeblood of the Chamber of Commerce. Without a hand card, it is difficult to borrow."

So this is a "business entertainment", Xu Qian said with confidence that I am very good at this, whether it is going to the mall in the previous life, or the official entertainment in the capital, this is my domain.

It's a pity that we have to take into account the persona of a high-level person. If it is too down-to-earth and philistine, and the sense of separation from the previous style is too severe, then the persona will collapse.

Xiao Li, I will leave it to you to drink with the leader.

Chairman Yang really showed a smile, and began to introduce white tea to Li Lingsu who knows the goods.

The conversation was almost over, Li Lingsu coughed and said: "President Yang, I am here to ask for something."

President Yang's smile did not change, and said: "What request does Daoist Li have, as long as Yang can do it, he will definitely do his best and do his best."

"I want to borrow three red-tailed hawks."

"."

President Yang looked at him blankly, as if to say: Can I take back what I just said.

"This, Daoist Li, the Red-tailed Fierce Eagle is the lifeblood of our chamber of commerce. Each one costs a lot of money to buy. Even if I borrow it privately, I will be severely punished."

Li Lingsu smiled and said: "I know, so, I came to President Yang this time to entrust you to deliver a piece of goods to Rou'er."

"goods?"

"That's right, this cargo is me." Li Lingsu paused, then continued:

"The red-tailed eagle has a limited load capacity. It is flying with two people on its back. The speed is too slow, and you have to rest once an hour. I want to borrow three. As a supervisor, you can dispatch an extra eagle to follow and follow us to Leizhou .”

It is a different concept to carry two people to fly and to carry two people to run.

President Yang smiled and shook his head: "The red-tailed hawk is a spirit beast, and it can only be raised by its owner. Outsiders cannot ride alone."

Xu Qi'an immediately said: "I can solve this."

you? Chairman Yang stared at him, and the middle-aged man fell into hesitation.

Although the relationship between Li Daochang and the eldest lady is extraordinary, it is just a personal relationship, what does it have to do with me? If the spirit beast is lost, he will be punished by the headquarters.

No benefit, not worth the risk.

However, this young daoist with a perfect appearance has an ambiguous relationship with the eldest lady. The eldest lady is destined to enter the decision-making level of the chamber of commerce in the future. It is not worthwhile to offend him at this time.

At this moment, Mu Nanzhi said in a melodious voice, "You lend us three spirit beasts, and I'll give you three bags of scented tea."

scented tea?

President Yang suspected that he had heard it wrong, and he couldn't laugh or cry. He really didn't know whether to call this woman naive or stupid.

The price of a single red-tailed hawk is three thousand taels of silver, and there is no market for it. Compared with silver, the financial resources and energy spent on cultivating and training it, as well as its own rarity, cannot be measured by silver.

Just when he was about to refuse, he saw this mediocre woman stretch out her small white hand towards the man with the same ordinary face.

The latter put a kit in her palm. It is worth mentioning that this kit was snatched when she killed her cousin Ji Qian, and there were more than a dozen magic weapons, cannons and bed crossbows in it.

Mu Nanzhi opened the kit, rummaged through it for a while, and found three exquisite square paper bags wrapped in butter paper.

She put three packs of scented tea on the coffee table beside President Yang.

"Thank you girl for your kindness, just huh?"

President Yang looked at the paper bag. He twitched his nose and smelled the faint fragrance of flowers. It was sweet and long-lasting, relaxing the pores and refreshing the mind.

President Yang has never smelled such a fragrance in his life.

He opened the paper bag in surprise, and the sweetness and fragrance became more and more intense. Inside were shriveled petals, some were dark red, some were yellow and white, and some were deep purple.

They have their own fragrance, intertwined and blended with each other. Chairman Yang sniffed the fragrance of flowers and closed his eyes in enjoyment, as if he had come to the ocean of flowers.

Li Lingsu twitched her nostrils, and said in amazement, "What kind of flowers are these?"

President Yang was a little excited, "Can I have a taste?"

Seeing the mediocre woman nodding, he immediately called the servant girl and told her to make scented tea. After thinking about it, he changed his words:

"No, just soak here."

He was afraid that the servant girl would not be able to withstand the temptation and drink secretly.

The servant girl led the way and came in with a hot copper pot. She dumped the teapot, and a slender column of water poured into the teacup, swirling and tumbling along the porcelain-white cup wall.

Not long after, the scent of flowers filled the entire lobby along with the dense steam.

President Yang couldn't wait to pick up the teacup, blew on it, and tasted it. His eyes brightened, and then slowly closed, enjoying in silence.

After a long time, he opened his eyes and murmured, "This is the best tea I've ever had, the best tea."

In a mountain on the outskirts of the city.

A cavalry team galloped towards the top of the mountain along the spacious mountain road, kicking up dust.

There is a sentry post ten feet in the mountain, guarded heavily. After passing seven or eight checkpoints along the way, they came to the top of the mountain and saw a group of buildings.

President Yang handed over the horses to his subordinates, led Xu Qi'an and others through the open gate of the village, and introduced:

"The red-tailed hawks are huge, and countless take off on the flat ground. They need to use the flowing air or take off from a high place. Therefore, the Chamber of Commerce raises the red-tailed hawks on the mountain."

It needs the help of airflow, well, taking off from a high place is itself using the help of airflow, it seems that Yingjiang is a low-level spirit beast. Xu Qi'an looked into the distance, and he heard a majestic cry.

After walking for a quarter of an hour, you can see independent wooden houses with a height of two feet.

The door of the wooden house was open, and one could clearly see huge eagles standing inside the house, nearly three meters tall, similar in appearance to ordinary eagles, but with red tail feathers.

The claws of each giant eagle are wrapped with thick manacles.

"They have an hour of wind every day, and the riders who raise them will ride them to fly, rain or shine. If they don't fly for a day, they will become very irritable."

President Yang said as he walked, like a warm host:

"Zhangzhou is one of the Dafeng granaries. The land is fertile. The headquarters has raised ten red-tailed hawks here. It is a huge expense to raise them, and these spirit beasts are too edible. Therefore, an hour's release will not only help Relieve their loneliness and allow them to hunt with confidence."

You speak like a big farmer on TV. Xu Qi'an sighed softly, Zhangzhou, this is Master Zheng's hometown.

When Leizhou came back, he went to pay homage to Mr. Zheng.

Soon, President Yang picked out four red-tailed hawks, accompanied by the people who raised them.

Some red-tailed hawks held their heads high, dismissing Xu Qi'an and others; some looked at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle, as if thinking about birds; some spread their huge wings, threatening; Pat the master to show his friend, but ignore Xu Qi'an and others.

President Yang said helplessly:

"That's how they are. They only recognize the people who raise them. In their eyes, the breeders are their servants, servants who serve them."

Xu Qi'an looked at the giant eagle that kept flapping its wings against the breeder, with the proud posture of a big brother covering a younger brother, nodded and said:

"I can tell."

So how are you going to ride them? With a smile on his face, President Yang looked curiously at the young man in Tsing Yi.

Xu Qi'an raised his hand, bent his index finger, put it against his lips, and blew a loud whistle.

The four giant eagles looked back at the same time, their heads trembled, and their golden eagle eyes stared straight at Xu Qi'an.

The next moment, a scene that stunned everyone present happened.

The giant eagles abandoned their breeders and rushed towards Xu Qi'an with strides. During the process, they spread their wings and pushed their companions, as if they were afraid that they would compete with them for favor.

"this"

President Yang couldn't hide the shock in his eyes. He had seen the high-quality cultivators use violence to make the red-tailed hawks succumb.

But I've never seen it so easy, with just one whistle, the four spirit beasts kneel down and lick it together.

The four breeders are full of frustration, like a daughter-in-law wearing a hat for themselves, with a green head.

"Your Excellency, this is the method of the Gu clan?"

Chairman Yang suddenly realized that, as the chairman of the chamber of commerce, the caravans under his hands traveled all over the world and had rich experience. Zhangzhou is in the southwest, and the Gu tribe in southern Xinjiang is also in the trade territory of the chamber of commerce.

Xu Qi'an did not answer, but solemnly asked:

"President Yang, my beloved horse will stay with you for the time being. Please be sure to feed it with concentrated feed and not allow anyone to ride it. I will pay you the cost of renting the spirit beast and taking care of the horse."

"good!"

President Yang agreed immediately.

the capital.

Wearing a black Taoist robe and a lotus crown on his head, Bingyi Yuanjun, who has a beautiful face but lacks emotion, controlled a flying sword and stopped outside the capital.

Looking down from the top of the cloud, she saw coolies, militiamen, and masons below, densely packed, repairing the city wall.

It has been more than a month since Xu Yinluo killed the king, except for the city wall which is still being repaired, there are no traces of battle in other places.

Yuan Jun, who had a pair of glazed eyes, withdrew his gaze and looked in the direction of Si Tianjian.

Without being warned, she drove the flying sword, pierced the sky, and landed on the Eight Diagrams Platform.

On the gossip table, sitting at the table is a white dress and a yellow skirt.

The girl in the yellow skirt gnawed on the nuts "clicking" and occasionally took a sip of fruit wine from the wine glass, expressing a comfortable feeling of "aha".

The supervisor in white was sitting silently at the side.

"I've seen the supervisor."

Bingyi Yuanjun saluted.

The girl in the yellow skirt was taken aback, as if she had just discovered the unexpected guest, she hurriedly turned her head to look.

The prisoner said in an old voice, "What are you doing in the capital?"

"The poor way is looking for disciple Li Miaozhen."

"Leave the capital before dusk."

After the supervisor finished speaking, he stopped talking.

Bingyi Yuanjun saluted again, and left with the flying sword.

She stepped on the flying sword, ignoring the scrutiny of the "eyes" in the capital, and soon, Frozen Yi Yuanjun locked a three-entry compound, pressed the flying sword without hesitation, and landed quickly.

In the inner courtyard.

She saw a six or seven-year-old girl, a small peas, holding a stone table several times her size, wandering slowly in the yard, as if she was sharpening her strength.

The little girl's face was flushed, her shallow eyebrows were raised upright, and her two short, bent legs were trembling non-stop.

On the side, a girl from southern Xinjiang with wheat-colored skin and blue eyes was eating nuts and applauding.

Another glamorous mature woman watched anxiously and kept saying: "Be careful, be careful"

Bingyi Yuanjun descended in the courtyard, attracting the attention of two big women and one small woman.

"Who are you?"

My aunt looked at this beautiful Taoist nun who couldn't tell her age, and felt that she was like a sculpture without emotion.

"Poverty Heavenly Sect Bingyi Yuanjun."

The emotionless sculpture saluted: "This is Xu Yinluo's home."

The aunt nodded, thinking that that unlucky nephew had provoked another beautiful girl.

She suddenly thought of something, and blurted out: "Are you a fellow disciple of Taoist priest Li Miaozhen?"

Bingyi Yuanjun nodded: "It's the little disciple."

My aunt became enthusiastic all of a sudden, and greeted: "Please, Taoist priest."

The two parties entered the inner hall, and my aunt asked Lu'e, the personal maid, to serve tea.

Bingyi Yuanjun looked at his aunt, his glazed eyes were calm, and his voice was soft but without emotion:

"The little apprentice is not in the house."

The aunt drank tea and said, "Master Li, she left the capital a few days ago."

"Where did you go?"

"I don't know, I just said that I have traveled to the rivers and lakes."

Bingyi Yuanjun nodded slowly, and said softly: "Madam, can you tell me about what the bad guys did in the capital?"

The aunt immediately boasted about Li Miaozhen, just like bragging about the other's child when chatting with a neighbor in the neighborhood.

"Li Daochang is kind and generous, with a chivalrous heart. She is the most upright and enthusiastic female heroine I have ever seen. Oh, Tianzong really deserves to be a decent school, and the disciples he teaches have impeccable character.

"Small one can give porridge to the poor, and one big one can help my nephew kill the emperor. Good, that's great!"

Bingyi Yuanjun's indifferent face became more and more expressionless, he got up and said goodbye: "Poverty Dao has important matters to attend to, so it's inconvenient to stay for a long time."

"I'll send it off to the Taoist priest."

The aunt sent her out of the inner hall, watching the other party stepping on the flying sword and fleeing through the air.

"You don't seem very happy?"

Aunt muttered.

Bingyi Yuanjun did not leave Beijing immediately, but Yujian went to Lingbao Temple.

She had just flown into the imperial city, approached the Lingbao Temple, and suddenly a brilliant sword light came from the depths of the temple.

Bingyi Yuanjun's glass-like pupils froze slightly, she let the sword light betray her flight path, the next moment, the sword light deviated by itself, cut towards the sky, and disappeared quickly.

Bingyi Yuanjun landed in the small courtyard deep in the Lingbao Temple.

The courtyard is full of withered flowers and plants, and the rockery stands alone. In the peaceful small pond, sitting cross-legged is a beautiful woman, wearing a lotus crown, wearing a Taoist robe, with a little cinnabar between her eyebrows, like a fairy in the nine heavens.

Cool and stunning, not stained with mortal dust.

Both of them are beautiful Taoist nuns, with different looks, which complement each other.

"Junior Sister Luo, Tianzun entrusted me to pass on a message to you, can you be promoted to the first rank within three years?"

Bingyi Yuanjun had no expression on his face, and his tone was indifferent: "If you can't step into the first rank within three years, you will have to die in a catastrophe. Rather than dying in a catastrophe, it is better to die at the hands of Tianzun."

If he didn't know the virtues of the Taoist priests of Tianzong, Luo Yuheng would think that Bingyi Yuanjun was provoking him.

Luo Yuheng said lightly: "Short is three months, long is a year, I will go to Tianzong."

Bingyi Yuanjun still had no expression on his face, and said: "Are you sure to overcome the tribulation?"

Luo Yuheng didn't hide it: "I have found a Taoist companion, and soon, I will double practice with him. Double cultivation is seven days a month, and within half a year, I can overcome the catastrophe."

"Very good!"

Bingyi Yuanjun nodded: "You know where my disciple has gone."

"I don't know, that disciple of yours has a strong sense of justice, and he can't rub the sand in his eyes. It's even more difficult to make her forget her feelings."

Luo Yuheng mocked a bit: "The world knows the female hero Feiyan, but not the saint of Tianzong. Instead of expecting her to inherit the great lineage of Tianzong, it is better to count on the son of God."

Bingyi Yuanjun slowly shook his head: "Miaozhen has indeed gone astray, but the Holy Son has gone astray."

"What do you mean by that?"

Bingyi Yuanjun didn't answer.

When Bingyi Yuanjun went to the capital to look for the villain Li Miaozhen, Taoist Xuancheng also visited the girl who had been slept with by the villain Li Lingsu in those years.

Leizhou is in the west, adjacent to the Western Regions, and is the westernmost state of Dafeng.

Leizhou covers a vast area, as big as two Yongzhous, but because there are so many saline-alkali lands and it belongs to a semi-arid zone, the land is not fertile.

Therefore, the population is not as dense as that of other prefectures, and because Leizhou is the center of business exchanges between Dafeng and the Western Regions, it has caused rich places to be rich, and places without money to gnaw on steamed buns.

The gap between rich and poor is huge.

The headquarters of the Leizhou Chamber of Commerce is in the main city of Leizhou, with a population of 800,000.

Xu Qi'an and Mu Nanzhi sat on the cushions, the latter was wearing a fox fur cloak, next to Xu Qi'an, overlooking the Leizhou City below with no interest.

She was wearing a vestment to keep out the cold and water, which belonged to one of the treasures in Sitianjian's inventory that Xu Qi'an searched for when he left Beijing.

After a ten-day journey, they finally arrived in Leizhou. At first, Mu Nanzhi would shout "Wow" excitedly because she overlooked the city, but later, the first time was born and the second time was acquainted, and the seventh time was an old couple without any fluctuations.

Four red-tailed hawks passed Leizhou City and flew towards a certain mountain outside the city. They seemed to know their way and did not need a rider to control them.

That mountain is where the Leizhou Chamber of Commerce raises red-tailed hawks.

After landing steadily, Li Lingsu called the person in charge of the "farm" of the chamber of commerce, and said:

"Poverty Li Lingsu is Wenren Qianrou's best friend, please inform her that I will wait for her here."

The person in charge was confirmed by the accompanying riders from the branch, and immediately sent someone to Leizhou City to inform the eldest lady.

"You just said, what's the name of that young lady?"

Xu Qi'an summoned Li Lingsu and asked.

"Wenren Qianrou."

Seeing his strange expression, the Holy Son asked, "What's the problem?"

Xu Qi'an frowned tightly, but did not answer Li Lingsu, and fell into deep thought.

He always felt that the name was very familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere, but no matter how he recalled it, he couldn't remember it.

"I should have heard of this name, but I really don't know this lady from Leizhou Chamber of Commerce, but, I always feel that I know her."

He muttered to himself.
