Chapter 922: Selling Heads

Nanyu County is in the middle of Ningzhou and Yizhou, and Chaotian Palace at this time is on the edge of Yizhou, and it is only a few hundred miles away from Nanyu County.

It's not close, but it's not that far.

Further south of Nanyu County, is Pingman County and Yelang County, these places have more border people, but the wind and rain are harmonious, the climate is very suitable, Nanyu County has become the important place of grain in the southwest area in the previous dynasty, and it is also an important fortress used to govern the border people.

Xiao Jinyu, the king of Nanxuan, had a bad reputation in the Southern Dynasty, so after he was crowned king, he did not adjust it, but he himself had a foundation in this place, but without the dumping of many powerful people in Jiankang, his life was extremely comfortable.

Even the generals sent by the Zhongzhou Army to Yunnan County, Xiping County and Liangshui County, even if they had more troops than him, wanted to come over to befriend him.

Xiao Yan was originally short-sighted, and in addition to hoarding grain, the Nanyu County was actually not very important to the Southern Dynasty, almost all the border tribes in the prefectures and counties in this area were governed by themselves, and it was not good to forcibly restrain them, and what the Southern Dynasty was most worried about over the years was originally the Northern Wei War, so Xiao Yan almost turned a blind eye to the political affairs of the southwest border, and there were not many requirements at all.

In this way, Xiao Jinyu is very idle.

If it weren't for the great changes in Jiankang in recent times, even the queen mother was killed by the Demon Sect, and there was a huge hidden danger of the party's iron army, what Xiao Jinyu did every day was nothing more than tasting the good tea sent by the surrounding counties, going to see a few brocade fish he raised, and then thinking about what to eat today, and who to find to spend time in the afternoon and evening.

The border people have a loose temperament, but the surrounding mountains and forests are rich in products, so several markets in Nanyu County are also quite popular, often some treasures in the mountains, and even some border people have collected useful elixirs for cultivators, which also adds to his fun of picking up leaks.

He also likes beautiful women, if it is in Jiankang, a prince and nobleman must always pay attention to his identity, and do not go out of the ordinary flower street and willow lane, otherwise he will be seen by many literati and ink writers, and he will definitely write a big book. But there are not many such literati in this kind of frontier land, and if there is a literati who dares to look down on him with big books and special books, I am afraid that he will have been silently chopped up and fed to the fish.

Many border women actually have delicate facial features, and they are very good-looking, and they are more bold than women elsewhere in the Southern Dynasty for men and women, plus this prince loves them, so the flower wine restaurants in Nanyu County, all kinds of flower shops are much more than Jiankang, so that it attracts many high-rollers and businessmen from the surrounding states and counties to come to Nanyu County from time to time, and some strange mountain goods in the hands of those border people are sold at a better price, and several markets in Nanyu County are expanding again and again, and they are very lively.

Among them, there is a market called "Wangye Market", which is only one street away from the Nanyu Palace, and it is the largest and most miscellaneous market in Nanyu County at this time.

At the end of the day, if you are in Jiankang, the morning market of all kinds of markets is about to close, but the border people in the area of Nanyu County have been getting up late, and the morning market has just become more crowded at this time, and many shops selling breakfast food have just opened, and the sound of people and water is gradually boiling.

In the past, Xiao Jinyu also took a few entourages out of the house, turned around and then went to a teahouse to drink tea, but in the past few days, there were extremely important guests in the house, and Xiao Jinyu also changed his habits, but carefully arranged the diet and living of the distinguished guest in the house.

"Go, today I opened the barrel of tea sent by Li Rong and Li Junshou, which is the paulownia barrel wrapped in gold paper in the tea room. Yesterday the guests were not used to eating the ham meat, so they went to the market to get a few pheasants, and they also got one when they saw the green-skinned four-legged snake, not too big, medium size, but don't slaughter it in front of them like entertaining those guests from wild places, the meat is delicious, but the guests from such noble places may not see that kind of look. There are also some yellow-robed fruits on the mountain, and I can taste them. ”

Xiao Jinyu was holding an old purple bamboo hookah that he had just picked up in the market not long ago, and while casually explaining to the steward of the housekeeper in the garden, at this time, he heard a burst of shouts in the market outside, like a landslide and a tsunami.

"What's going on. ”

His mildew prince seems to be a little kind on weekdays, but at this time, his complexion changed slightly, but it seemed to be a different person in an instant, and a ghostly light flashed in his eyes, "Didn't I tell those who are in charge, there are distinguished guests these days, don't make people wanton and noisy." Sent someone to take care of it, Mojiao disturbed the guest Qingxiu, if someone was disobedient, he was quietly taken away, dragged out and buried. ”

The steward of the man's room just bowed his head, he didn't care about the murder and burial of the corpse, while someone responded, a gray shadow quickly swept out of the palace, and it was only dozens of breaths, and there was a sound of breaking the air and flying back.

A gray-clothed cultivator arrived not far in front of Xiao Jinyu, his face turned pale, and said, "Lord Wang, someone is making trouble. ”

Xiao Jinyu was no longer the usual eating, drinking and merrymaking at this time, he listened to the sound outside that seemed to be not reduced at all, his eyebrows slowly raised, and there was an indescribable redness on the tips of his eyebrows, "Didn't you say that whoever didn't listen would be dragged out and buried?"

"That person is extraordinary, and even General An is no opponent. ”

This gray-clothed cultivator was very familiar with Xiao Jinyu's temperament, and he didn't dare to talk nonsense at all, and said in a loud voice: "When the morning market first opened, a young man came to sell goods in the morning market, but he said that he was selling heads, and said that he had twenty-one heads with him. Many people in the morning market naturally thought that he was a fool and wanted to buy it, but the young man really took out a human head from the package he was carrying and threw it in front of him. General An happened to be eating in the morning market, went up to check, and started to do his hand when he didn't get along, but he was directly broken by the sea of qi, and now he kneels in front of that person. ”

Now the young man said, "Sell the dead now, and the living later." The living man is a young man in brocade, obtained from a certain Taoist temple, and said that the young man called himself the little prince, which is very strange, and I heard that the market in this city specializes in selling rare goods, and the more rare the more expensive it is, when I returned, I also heard the young man say that his dead head is not an ordinary dead head, but the dead head of a cultivator. The gray-clothed cultivator just recounted, and cold sweat was already leaving on his forehead, "I vaguely heard him say that among these twenty-one dead heads, there are also dead heads of Divine Mind Realm cultivators..."

"What!"

Xiao Jinyu's face changed several times, "Let Mr. Ma take a look, and don't rush to deal with this person, let's take a look at this person's path first." ”

"Yes. ”

The gray-clothed cultivator didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly swept out.

After another moment, only a few muffled tremors like thunder were heard outside, Xiao Jinyu sensed a violent fluctuation of vitality, he was anxious, he didn't know what was happening, but after waiting for a while, he didn't see the gray-clothed cultivator come to return, but there was a sound of footsteps behind him, but a young man and several cultivators in green shirts walked over.

"Your Highness!"

When Xiao Jinyu saw this young man, he immediately saluted, and he was anxious and angry.

There are usually no major events here, but when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was in his mansion, something happened.

This young man's facial features can only be regarded as delicate, not particularly good-looking, but his expression is quiet, but he is born with the demeanor of a big man, he just waved his hand, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said: "King Nanyu, what happened outside, how could there be such a violent fluctuation of vitality, as if there were powerful cultivators fighting?"

"I ....."

Xiao Jinyu was speechless for a while, he was depressed in his heart, and he just wanted to say that he didn't know, but at this moment, the footsteps sounded, and a person rushed over, but it was not the gray-clothed cultivator before, but a man in his fifties.

This man was not a cultivator in the palace, he was barefoot, scattered, and looked completely dressed as a border citizen.

"Lord Wang!"

This man didn't have much courtesy, and when he saw Xiao Jinyu, he immediately shouted, "Lord Wang, someone made trouble and sold people's heads, so Fang Cai Ma and Qian were offered to interrogate, and before he could say a word, he was knocked down by that person." ”

"What's going on?"

Xiao Jinyu's face changed drastically, and several cultivators behind the young man also had tense faces, and one of them, a man with a white face and beard, who looked like a scribe, asked softly, "Horse worship... Lord Wang, is it the Ma Mingqiu horse in your house to worship?"

Xiao Jinyu's face stiffened, his hands trembled slightly, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he finally said the word "yes".

Hearing him say the word "yes", the faces of these people who were originally light and breezy also changed greatly, and several of them were already ready to go out to have a look, but at this time they were all frozen in the local area.

That Ma Mingqiu is the big offering that Xiao Jinyu only recruited last winter, at this time Xiao Yinxiu of the Nanyu Palace's Mansion went out, this Ma Mingqiu is the only one of the gods in the palace's offerings, and as a result, the big offering of this god realm was defeated by the people outside just a moment of vitality vibration?

Although the white-faced bearded man who asked just now thought that he was slightly stronger than Ma Mingqiu and Xiao Yinxiu, he was only a little strange in the Divine Mind Realm, and it was impossible for him to defeat Ma Mingqiu so quickly.

At this time, the names of the Demon Sect and Chen Ziyun flashed in his mind for the first time, but according to the exact news, one of those two people went north, and the other seemed to be not far from Jiankang, so it was impossible to be here.

And what does this man say about selling people's heads....these two people don't seem to be able to do anything weird.

"Mr. Ren, don't go out!"

Xiao Jinyu looked at the green-shirted cultivator and groaned, but he thought that the other party was going out to check, so he hurriedly shook his hand and said: "I have also specially explained just now, let them go out to check, and Haosheng told that person, don't fight with that person, but there was an accident in an instant, I am afraid that that person is coming for the palace, like waiting for a rabbit." ”

Hearing such words, all the people present were stunned, but the man dressed as a border citizen who rushed to report the news nodded again and again.

This man is the leader of the bazaar, and he has some characters in the rivers and lakes, and he also helps the officials and soldiers in the city manage the order of some bazaars on weekdays, he looked at Xiao Jinyu and said: "Fang Cai Ma and the others went out, and just saluted, the young man was already impatient, and said, don't buy the head, come and see what to see, and then I don't know what to say, I have already shot." ”

"Selling heads, is it a real head?"

The green-shirted cultivator surnamed Ren took a deep breath, his eyes flashed violently, and said, "Since that's the case, let's buy one first and come back to see what it is." ”
