Liangcheng is a relatively large city in Beilan County.
It is precisely because of the proximity to Liangcheng that the monsters in Chongshan always stay in the hinterland. In addition to the many monks in Liangcheng, there is also the existence of the Shentu clan.
Hearing the word Shentu from Yu Xichao's mouth, Jiang Wang subconsciously raised his eyebrows.
Shentu Youzhi is the senior member of the Shentu clan. He has experienced the chaos of various kingdoms. Due to the fact that he led the family to survive and cultivated young children, Shentu Youzhi's practice was wasted for a long time, so he was only at the peak of the cave world before his death. Cultivation.
But this does not mean that there are no more powerful figures in the Shentu clan. Shentu Youzhi has a large layout. In addition to Shentu Huang in the Qingxuan Department, there are also people from the Shentu clan in the divine capital. There are even people who are only ranked as generals in the Xiaoguo Army. Next, these are all the more outstanding disciples of the Shentu clan.
The head of the family in Liangcheng, Beilan County may be the remaining mediocre people, but the younger generation may not even have people who want to spread their wings and fly high. It is inevitable that among the elders there will be peak monks in the Underworld Realm, but Still unable to kill the monsters in Chongshan, it shows that the monsters are not low-level.
Those four men in black were employed by the Shentu clan in Liangcheng.
The purpose of capturing Yu Xichao made Jiang Wang even more stunned.
"Although I know very well that the Shentu clan only recruits sons-in-law and does not marry daughters, I did not expect to be so domineering."
Yu Xichao's mouth twitched slightly and said: "Because I refused, I got into big trouble. Although I won't kill someone if I am rejected, in Liangcheng, or even in the entire Beilan County, if I offend the Shentu clan, I will no longer have a place to live, unless You are committing suicide, otherwise the Shentu clan will get what they want in the end."
Being able to escape temporarily is the limit. It is almost impossible to leave Beilan County under the noses of the Shentu clan. 33
Jiang Wang asked curiously: "Why does the Shentu clan like you?"
Yu Xichao is not ugly, but he is ordinary. Jiang Wang can't tell what his qualifications are at the moment. If the Shentu clan wants to recruit a son-in-law, it will not be without conditions. He must be outstanding in some way.
Yu Xichao said: "Just because I was glanced at on the street."
Jiang Wang subconsciously continued: "And then you never forgot your appearance?"
Yu Xichao was silent for a moment and said, "Obviously it's not my face that he's interested in."
He looked at Jiang Wang and said seriously: "But if you are seen by someone from the Shentu clan, you will definitely not be able to escape."
Jiang Wang touched his face, nodded and said, "That's natural."
He then curiously asked: "Since your teacher's death has nothing to do with the Shentu clan, why do you refuse? If you join the Shentu clan, wouldn't you be able to better avenge your teacher?"
Yu Xichao looked embarrassed and said, "Because the one who likes me is a second-generation daughter of the Shentu clan, who is much older than me."
Jiang Wang was shocked. He knew that after the collapse of the Lili Dynasty, Shentu Youzhi led his people to surrender to the Sui army, and named himself a new generation. The second generation should be the daughter of Shentu Youzhi or the offspring of an old guy who was of the same generation as her. At that age It's really not low.
Nowadays, all the people of the same generation as Shentu Youzhi are dead. Shentu Youzhi also died in Guoxue Town. The second generation has become the highest generation of the Shentu clan.
The second generation is also divided into direct lineage and collateral lineage. Those who can be in Beichuan Liangcheng are naturally direct lineage.
If Yu Xichao returns to Liangcheng, he may not be able to escape the clutches of the Shentu clan.
Although it was only a matter of time before he was caught, returning to Liangcheng now would be tantamount to throwing himself into a trap.
So Yu Xichao pointed the way to Jiang Wang and walked straight along the road. He only had to make one turn in the process, which was not complicated.
Jiang Wang didn't say anything for the time being, he was thinking about the problem silently.
To be honest, he doesn't have much grudge against the Shentu clan. The one who has grudge against Xiaoyu is Shentu Huang, and the one who has grudge against Su Changluo is Shentu Youzhi. The latter involves the entire Shentu clan, so there is no need for him to help in advance. The apprentice takes revenge.
But in order for the power of the Kingdom of God to emerge and return to the Qingxuan Department as soon as possible, there is no faster way than to cause trouble for the Shentu clan.
Jiang Wang looked at Yu Xichao and said with a smile: "You help me lead the way, and I will also help you."
...
In the time of Xu, Liangcheng looked majestic and beautiful under the sunset.
Jiang Wang and Yu Xichao were like two beggars. Their clothes were in tatters, their faces were stained with dirt, and their hair was messy. One was weak and the other was injured. They had spent a lot of time traveling more than ten miles, and they were very tired.
They supported each other and staggered forward.
Of course he was stopped by the city guards.
Yu Xichao had something that could prove that he was from Liangcheng, and Jiang Wang also had a guide, but he didn't face too many difficulties.
The first goal when entering the city is naturally to eat.
Yu Xichao grew up here and was not favored by the Shentu clan before, of course because of his young age, but now he has grown into an adult.
He took Jiang Wang to a relatively remote alley, where the cost of eating would be lower.
Although Jiang Wang was very wealthy, he did not dissuade Yu Xichao from his choice.
There is an inn called Chunfeng Yidu in the dilapidated alley.
It sounds a bit unserious, but it is actually very serious.
The innkeeper is a beautiful woman.
He is also a serious person.
She was wearing very ordinary clothes, no heavy makeup, and she didn't say anything funny.
Even when entertaining, she didn't dare to look up at the guests. When the dishes were ordered, the landlady ran to the kitchen in a panic.
Jiang Wang asked in surprise: "How did she open an inn here?"
Yu Xichao said: "Normally no one comes here, and the landlady never solicits customers. In fact, she doesn't know how to speak. If someone quarrels with her, she will be scared and run away. But in fact, the landlady is a martial artist. Someone once coveted the beauty of the landlady. After being beaten two miles away by her fist, no one would dare to talk nonsense, let alone cause trouble."
Jiang Wang touched his palms and wanted to say something, but couldn't think of any words for a moment.
Yu Xichao added: "Although you are unkempt, you will soon be known to the people of the Shentu clan. What exactly do you want to do?"
Jiang Wang said, "Let's go and see."
He really didn't have any plans. As long as Yu Xichao was around, the Shentu clan would show up, so there was no need for any plans.
Not long after, the proprietress appeared with food in her hands. She walked with her head down, but because of her status as a martial artist, she did not accidentally fall down.
Jiang Wang smelled the oil smoke and asked curiously: "The boss lady cooks the food herself and doesn't hire a cook?"
The landlady was startled and almost knocked the dishes over on the table.
Jiang Wang was silent.
He just said a word, but was he so frightened?
The landlady replied in a low voice, "No," and then said there were still two more dishes, and ran away in a panic.
Yu Xichao explained: "According to the character of the landlady, didn't you see that there are no assistants? Even though I am from Liangcheng, I don't even live far away, and I haven't had a few serious words with the landlady yet."
Jiang Wang really didn't know what to say.
There were only two of them in the inn. Although the proprietress was handsome, she was a martial artist who could easily beat someone out of the area. There weren't many people living in the shabby alleys. The proprietress didn't go out, and the people outside They rarely notice it, so the inn business is quite sluggish.
Jiang Wang thought, if the inn's business was not good, it would be a good thing for the proprietress, right?
Because you don’t have to meet too many people, and you don’t have to be nervous to talk too much.
The proprietress cooks all the homemade dishes herself.
There were shredded pork stir-fried with leeks, spicy and sour potato shreds, duck blood braised tofu, and lettuce scrambled eggs. The remaining two dishes that were not served were braised pork ribs and steamed yellow croaker.
Not to mention how it tastes, the presentation is quite good. Just one look at it will whet your appetite.
Jiang Wang was indeed hungry, so he refused to be polite and ate first as a courtesy.
It turns out that the taste is also outstanding.
It seems that the boss lady has an exclusive recipe.
Yu Xichao didn't have much appetite. After all, he was still injured. He just took a sip of wine and said, "You eat first, and I'll check with the old doctor on the east side of the alley, so as not to become a burden when I arrive."
Regarding Jiang Wang's desire to help him solve the Shentu clan's problem of recruiting a son-in-law, Yu Xichao didn't have much confidence. The reason why he agreed was because he thought Jiang Wang was a very powerful monk. Even though he was very weak now, he might be able to find a way. Recovery soon.
The mere need to avenge the teacher made it difficult for Yu Xichao to really leave his hometown.
After Yu Xichao left for a while, the landlady came out of the kitchen with the remaining two plates of food.
Jiang Wang looked a little embarrassed at the moment. He didn't know whether the landlady didn't care, or whether he was hiding his sight and not looking at the guests at all, so he entertained the two beggars.
So the landlady didn't ask why Yu Xichao disappeared.
She hid behind the counter and lowered her head. The only sound in the entire inn was the sound of Jiang Wang eating.
After drinking and eating, Yu Xichao still hadn't come back. Jiang Wang glanced at the east side of the alley and could see the small medical clinic there, and saw Yu Xichao's arm being bandaged by the old doctor.
There was nothing unusual, so Jiang Wang looked at the proprietress at the counter, hesitated, and asked, "Where can I wash my face?"
In fact, he wanted to take a bath more.
After traveling six thousand miles, even though I washed my face once in Chongshan, I walked to Liangcheng again and felt really uncomfortable.
If you use Xingqi to cleanse your body, you may be a little unbearable. Since you don't have any such talismans in reserve, you can only solve the problem in normal ways.
The landlady pointed towards the small door with a curtain, which was also where the kitchen was. She said in her still soft voice: "There is a well."
Jiang Wang nodded and walked over.
There is a yard behind the curtain, and the kitchen is on the left. There are dry firewood piled against the wall and many sundries. There is a well in the middle of the yard with wooden barrels next to it.
Jiang Wang thought carefully and gave up on fetching water himself. Instead, Xingqi controlled the barrel and went into the well to fetch water. The latter was less tiring than the former.
After cleaning up, Jiang Wang returned to the inn lobby.
When you have nothing to do, close your eyes and take a nap.
Because the inn was extremely quiet, the landlady took a sneak peek out of curiosity.
He was an extremely good-looking man, but he was dressed in rags.
The landlady was impressed.
Jiang Wang noticed it, but didn't care. After all, it was a normal thing.
But soon, he frowned slightly and raised his eyes to look outside the inn.
Some people died, but not completely...
