The finch feather flying boat swooped down, and in a blink of an eye, it arrived at the periphery of a city, and when I got off the boat, Lin Siqi didn't know what was outside the ship, and in the blink of an eye, the finch feather flying boat quickly became smaller, turning into a crystal ball the size of a fist, and it was included in Lin Siqi's pocket.

"How?" I was stunned.

Lin Siqi smiled: "It is a kind of inscription formation that can mobilize the power of the small world, and it is engraved by the dean teacher himself, and the inscription formation of this difficulty, the chief master of the entire inscription academy who can carve it can probably count it on one hand." ”

"I see, let's go into town."

"Yes, sir!"

Lin Siqi had reached a state of extreme exhaustion, and even began to stagger when he walked, and went forward, stepping directly into a county town, and there were many inns and inns in front of him, but when I took Lin Siqi into one of the inns, the shopkeeper shook his head and smiled apologetically: "This store does not entertain guests from the north, please forgive me." ”

"Oh, that's it......"

I didn't force myself to come, I took Lin Siqi to try the rest of the houses, but the results were exactly the same, all of them were politely refused, and the other party didn't let us move in at all.

"What's going on, is there any reason?" I'm confused.

Lin Siqi frowned and said, "Maybe it has something to do with an incident two months ago." ”

"Two months ago, what happened?"

He groaned and said: "It's a long story, the Daxiang Dynasty has a lot of borders with our Xuanyuan Empire, just two months ago, a sergeant of the Xuanyuan Empire offended a monk of the Daxiang Dynasty, the monk cut off the head of the sergeant with a flying sword without saying a word, and then returned to the mountain, this incident aroused the anger of the top of the Xuanyuan Empire's border army, and the next day, the local Jiedu envoy personally commanded two thousand Xuanyuan iron cavalry to attack the mountain, and shot hundreds of monks including the monk with a strong bow and a hard crossbow, When the Daxiang Dynasty dispatched the army, this border guard had already returned to the country, so the people of the Daxiang Dynasty gritted their teeth and hated, and in the past two months, the hatred of the Xuanyuan Empire has increased dramatically, so ...... They do not accept guests from the north. ”

"That's ......"

I strode down the street and said, "Go on, see where we can stay for the night, and we should all get some rest." ”

"Yes, sir!"

Just after the sixth inn rejected us, the shopkeeper seemed to have a little pity and said, "If you really want to find a place to live, I'm afraid that the only one in this city who dares to take you in is the Xie family's Qiongranju, and you can naturally see it when you walk all the way from this street." ”

"Okay, thank you, shopkeeper."

……

About ten minutes later, a path appeared on the side of the road, leading directly to a quiet and elegant garden, and the door number of the garden was engraved with the words "Qiongranju", a pair of lifelike stone lions in front of the door, presumably also a large family, I walked directly with Lin Siqi and knocked on the knocker, and soon after, an old servant opened the door, with a blank face: "Two guests, this is what you want?" ”

I smiled embarrassedly and said: "We are merchants from the Northern Xuanyuan Empire, and when we came here, many inns refused our stay, so we can only find here, host, can you let us stay for one night, just prepare some food a little, we will pay." ”

"This ......"

He hesitated for a moment and said, "I can't be the master of this, I have to ask the master's house." ”

"Well, okay, thank you!"

Soon after, the old housekeeper went and returned, followed by a middle-aged man with an elegant atmosphere, the middle-aged man put his hands behind his back, and there was a deep hidden breath between his eyebrows, after looking at us, he said: "A Shura, an ordinary person, people from the north are really strange, I am the master of the generation of the Qiongran Ju Xie family, named Xie Lingkun, who are you who came to Qiongranju...... It can't be a fine work, right? ”

"What's the work?"

I frowned and said, "Master, if you don't want to stay with us, just say it, there's no need to say such ugly words, not everyone comes to you with that kind of purpose." ”

"Really?"

He narrowed his eyes, his whole body was stirring with cultivation close to the immortal realm, and there were water ripples surging in his eyes, as if he was trying to see me through, but I was protected by the Ten Directions Fire Wheel Eye Qi Machine, which was obviously not something he could easily see, and in the next second, Xie Lingkun smiled dumbly, and said: "People from the north, do you know what kind of place this Qiongranju is, you dare to come here to ask for accommodation?" ”

"I don't know." I shook my head.

At this moment, several awe-inspiring armor soldiers appeared behind Xie Lingkun, all wearing the armor of the Daxiang Dynasty, and one of them said coldly: "Qiongran Residence is the residence given by His Majesty to the Lingnan Xie family, with the protection of the dragon vein qi machine, and our lord ...... It is the household servant of the current Daxiang Dynasty who supervises the construction of the city here, and you two outsiders dare to come to Qiongran to live and stay without inquiring, isn't this self-inflicted? The mansion of Lord Squire, where you want to stay? ”

I felt a chill in my heart, and unconsciously secretly slandered the shopkeeper who pointed the way, no wonder his smile was a little weird at that time, this really pushed me and Lin Siqi into the fire pit!

"That's ......"

Although the other party is a Hubu Shilang, I am also the commander-level general of the Xuanyuan Empire, the commander of the first-class corps, and the lowest official quality is equivalent to the second-grade military attaché, even a head higher than his Hubu Shilang, and he must not lose in momentum, so he looked up at Xie Lingkun and said: "Since it is the mansion of Lord Shilang, then I'm sorry, please forgive us for being abrupt, since this city can't accommodate us, then we can rest outside the city, please forgive me for the disturbance." ”

Xie Lingkun is also quite self-contained, and he shook it lightly and said with a smile: "I'm sorry." ”

As a result, at the moment when he had not completely spit out the word of apology, there was a sudden "sonorous", and a wide broad sword stabbed down on the stone road in front of the mansion, shaking the stone road to pieces, and just above the sword body, a white-clothed swordsman jumped down, with a wave of his palm, the big sword quickly became smaller and flew into his hair, and then the majestic hands behind him stepped into the mansion.

"I heard that my guests have come to Qiongranju, how are you entertained?"

His voice was full of energy.

"Who are you?"

A guard in armor standing behind Xie Lingkun said in a deep voice: "What is the intention of stepping into the squire's mansion without permission with a sword?" ”

"My surname is Xie, and my single name is a collection of words."

Xie Ji continued to move forward.

But Xie Lingkun seemed to be petrified, his expression was shocked, and then he knelt on the ground with a "poof", kowtowed again and again, and said, "It turned out that the ancestor had arrived, the villain Xie Lingkun...... The waiter of the Ministry of Rites of the Daxiang Dynasty, the head of the Lingnan Xie family's generation, see the ancestor, when did the ancestor come, why didn't he say anything to the great-grandson, the ancestor came in quickly, the ancestor wants to drink tea, I have a good Longjing here, the ancestor ......"

"Peng!"

Xie Ji immediately kicked Xie Lingkun back a few steps, with contempt at the corner of his mouth: "Shameful things, don't hurry up, the Xie family's face has been lost by you, these two are my guests, you dare to turn them away?" ”

Xie Lingkun hurriedly slapped himself: "It's the grandson who has no eyes, please don't punish the ancestor." ”

"No need."

Xie Ji said lightly: "I heard that there is a lotus pond in the backyard of this garden, set up a banquet for wine, and I want to entertain distinguished guests." ”

"Yes, Ancestor, I'll arrange for someone to prepare!"

", you're a mortal and cheesy."

"Yes, yes!"

I saw it in my eyes, and I was secretly surprised in my heart, Xie Lingkun is a household servant, a dignified third-grade official, plus he has real power, he can be called a prince, he is so unremarkably unrecognizable in front of Xie Ji, how powerful is this Zhenyang Mountain's "quasi-sword immortal" Xie Ji? Thinking about it carefully, it seems normal, Xie Ji's strength must be close to the quasi-god realm, maybe he and Xuanyuan Ying are both in the middle of the best, such a character...... It is impossible for the emperor of the Daxiang Dynasty not to reuse, perhaps he is a man who is stepping on the scales of the Daxiang Dynasty.

……

Back garden, lotus pond breeze.

A table of wine banquet was set up, only me, Xie Ji, and Lin Siqi were seated, as for Xie Lingkun, the host, he could only serve from afar, and he didn't dare to slack off.

I glanced into the distance and said, "Xie Lingkun seems to be very afraid of you, Xie Ji." ”

"Hah!"

Xie Ji smiled and said: "It's just a descendant, full of officialdom, no ability, it looks like a scholar, but he only reads a belly of straw bales, if the descendants of the Xie family in Zhenyang Mountain are like this, within fifty years, the weeds of the Xie family's ancestral grave will be two zhang high." ”

I grinned, "How old are you?" ”

"Three hundred years old."

Xie Ji looked at the surprise in my eyes, and said with a smile: "The Great Dao is vast, these three hundred years have only allowed me to see the foot of the Great Dao, and cultivating one, we mortals are really a hundred times more difficult than the fish swimming against the current." ”

I agreed, nodded and said, "You know that I am from the Northern Xuanyuan Empire, why are you so polite to me?" ”

"It's simple."

Xie Ji picked up his wine glass, arched his hand to the north from afar, and said with a smile: "The Xuanyuan Empire has resisted the deterrence of evil spirits from the north for many Terran dynasties, Jing Yunyue, Xuanyuan Ying, and you, my lord, which one is not the pride and leader of my mortal human race?" I, Xie Ji, am a highly praised sword cultivator, but I can only do it on Zhenyang Mountain, and to be honest, I feel ashamed. ”

To be able to say this, what a straightforward and heroic quasi-sword immortal this is!

"Come, drink!"

Xie Ji raised his wine glass and said with a smile: "There is wine today and drunk today, who cares about the rights and wrongs of the world." ”

"Drink!"

I also raised my glass and drank it down, and the liquor was in my throat, not the usual refreshing.

On the side, Lin Siqi hesitated, and said softly: "The teacher of Mingwen Academy has already taught that you are not allowed to drink alcohol......

Xie Ji put down his wine glass and said with a smile: "It's not promising." ”
