The northern border of Shang Qi has been congested for two or three days. No one knows why the northern border where people used to be able to enter and exit at will is now surrounded by three checkpoints and five sentries. All pedestrians coming and going have to be checked, and merchants and merchants have to pass their goods through They were unloaded from the carriage and inspected one by one before being allowed to pass.
Outside the northern border, there are only scattered houses. After all, it is close to the border of Beiyanze. It is desolate and lonely. There are few people coming and going on weekdays. Entry and exit are relatively loose. There are rumors that there was a theft in the Qi Imperial Palace. Most of them were thieves who stole important treasures. This made the northern border border, which was originally loosely governed, suddenly become strict.
Under such circumstances, there were about a hundred people trapped at the border. They were interrogated by the soldiers one by one. They had to remove all their swords and their bags and bags had to be opened wide to avoid missing anything.
A scholar with a peaceful face stood at the end of the crowd, holding a horse with one hand and covered with travel dust. His expression was calm. He turned his head to look south for no reason, and then turned back calmly to look at the towering city gate.
"Where did you come from, brother?" He seemed to notice that the man dressed as a scholar behind him had an extraordinary demeanor. The lean man in front also turned around and chatted with the scholar, looking extremely impatient, "God knows. When are these soldiers going to find out? You said something was stolen from the palace, so why bother to intercept it here? If the thief was not stupid, he would not have brought the heavy treasure to such a desolate place where there are few people and birds. If you want to resell or sell it, no one will accept it, so why go to such trouble."
The scholar smiled and responded in an easy-going manner, "That's not necessarily the case. There are always those with cunning means who can find ways to take risks. After all, Beiyanze is connected with Zihao Yuan. If the treasure thief sneaks out of the northern border of Shang Qi At the border, if we meet Zihao Dayuan's people, I'm afraid we can really get it, and there is nothing to check, so why don't we need to be more cautious."
Naturally, no one dares to move around the Shangqi Palace's treasures. If the truth is exposed, both the buyer and the seller will be charged with serious crimes, ranging from being a gang leader to being implicated in the serious case. They will lose their heads no matter what. But if they can cross the border secretly, I'm afraid Even though they are two different things, enjoying wealth and honor for several generations is not a problem.
The man was quite familiar. Hearing the scholar's conversation, his face showed some thoughts, but he sighed and said, "This is true, but you can see that secrets are surging in the Beiyan Daze, and monsters are emerging one after another. , If our trip is delayed due to this matter, I will feel uncomfortable no matter what."
When he said this, the man took two or three steps back and lowered his voice very low. He was probably afraid that the people around him would hear him, and he looked a bit suspicious no matter what.
The scholar's eyes moved slightly, but he was a little confused. He also lowered his voice and said, "This matter cannot be discussed?"
"Looking at you, you look like you're from a foreign country. It's okay to have a few words with you." The man shook his head, slightly pressed his left wrist guard, and replied in a low voice, "This incident in Beiyanze has been very noisy in the past few months. There was an uproar, let alone in Shangqi, which is the closest place to Beiyanze. Even ordinary people have heard about it. But today's society is extremely strict. Even among the most favored literary circles in Shangqi, some people are openly talking about it. Regarding the Bei Yanze incident, all of them have been convicted of serious crimes, removed from their original official positions, and thrown into prison, but there is no news of exoneration."

"So, brother, you want to go to Beiyanze to help guard the customs?" When the scholar heard this, he did not ask any more questions. Instead, he raised his eyebrows and looked at the lean and short man, " I thought that Xiongtai was an ordinary person like me, but I didn’t expect that Xiongtai was a figure from the immortal family. I am really lucky to meet an immortal in this life."
"If you are not a cultivator, why can't you help me with both hands?" The man's expression was a little depressed, and he looked meaningfully at the scholar in front of him, but he was no longer as enthusiastic as before, "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of a country, what about cultivators, and ordinary people? Anyway, even if you don't have the ability to move mountains and conquer seas, you can still do your best in repairing city gates and stabilizing antlers on weekdays. Why must you be a figure from the Immortal Family to help?"
The scholar glanced at the man and thought of a junior for no reason, so the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
That boy is probably still outside the mountains to the east, talking to others and understanding some truths. Although he has suffered all kinds of hardships, he has never changed his mind.
"If you don't want to wait, little brother, would you like to leave right now?"
The lean and short man looked sideways and asked curiously, "Brother, I have an old friend in the army. Is it possible that this can open the door to convenience?"
"No, but there are some small tricks to bypass the interrogation and go straight to Beiyanze." The scholar loosened the reins, patted the horse's forehead, and said with a slow smile, "Little brother, just say whether you are willing or not."
"Of course I'm very willing," the man still didn't know why, "but it's against the rules. If someone catches me, I'm afraid the delay will be longer. I'm afraid it won't be worth the loss, so it's better to just wait here for interrogation."
The scholar nodded.
"got it."
Immediately, the man saw the scholar in front of him flinging aside his big sleeves and suddenly holding them up to his face. Before he could move, he felt his feet suddenly lifted off the ground. The world was turned upside down, and a strong wind surged around his ears. He didn't realize it until he took a few breaths. There was light in front of his eyes, and he almost lost his balance. He knelt on the ground, and after a long pause, he looked at the scholar and almost drew a knife.
"Why don't you take a look at the scenery outside the wall first, and then draw your knife at me."
The scholar put his hands behind his back and slowly stepped onto the nearby cliff, overlooking the distance from a high place.
The sound of gushing water reaches my ears.
The man was suddenly startled, and regardless of the churning in his stomach, he followed the scholar onto the high cliff. He saw hundreds of miles away, a continuous tide coming from the depths of Daze, joining hands and forming a group. It was like the Great Yuan Liaoyuan. The galloping horses are extremely powerful. Daze is thousands of miles away, vast and boundless.
On the bank of the big swamp, there is a deer-antlered pass, whose end is unknown at a glance. The sound of blowing horns is like the wind, and the pass is stained with blood. It is clear that the shower has just stopped, and the blood has not faded.
"The northern Yanze is vast for thousands of miles, and every inch of the mountains and rivers is covered in blood." The scholar looked at the surging waves in the distance and whispered an ancient saying.
The world in one's sleeves can travel thousands of miles in an instant.
After looking at Daze, the lean man realized that Shangqi Border Pass was not close to Beiyanze. Even if he rode a horse, it would take many days to travel. He couldn't help but frown and looked at the dusty scholar in front of him with caution. .
"Who are you, who can master such magical powers? You must be an unusual disciple of the mountain sect. I have heard about the methods of the Qixian family, but I have never heard of such magical powers."
The scholar never looked back, still looking at Daze thousands of miles ahead. Hearing the words, the corner of his mouth slightly raised. After a long time, he replied lightly, "It's not inconvenient to tell you. If you insist on asking, then I can call you a casual person." yes."
"But I really didn't expect that when I came out of seclusion, I accidentally stole a valuable treasure of the imperial city."
