Outside Funing County.
Looking at a group of buildings among the green hills, Luo Xingchen tightened the reins and let the war horse stop slowly.
"Funing County is ahead of us. It is rich in products. There is a big river nearby and several large docks. There are endless cargo transfers, making this place a relatively wealthy county near Linze City." Mo Anbai said.
The only ones who stopped on the road were Luo Xingchen and Mo Anbai, while Zi Yan had already entered Funing County first, saying that he was going to find the Funing County Magistrate.
"It's good to be rich. I have room to spend money."
Luo Xingchen sighed with emotion and looked forward. He could vaguely see a bunch of people coming in and out of the city gate.
"Sir, most of those people should be Jianghu people." Mo Anbai said.
"It seems that they followed the court's orders and did not cause trouble at the city gate." Luo Xingchen said.
"Jianghu people are human beings too. They travel around the world either for fame or profit. No matter what they want to achieve, they should not cause trouble casually. They are warriors, not unlearned hooligans." Mo Anbai said to Jianghu People have the deepest understanding, because she herself is a charlatan.
"Come on, let's go into the city too."
After resting for a short while and taking a sip of water, Luo Xingchen got back on his horse.
Both he and Mo An Baiju wore hats and masks, making their appearance invisible.
As I approached the gate of the city, I suddenly heard a strange cry, like a crow calling at the top of its lungs.
"Quack, quack, little girl, I didn't expect you to be here too. It's fate."
Luo Xingchen looked sideways and saw a short man about 1.5 meters tall. His face was full of pockmarks, but his expression was expressionless, staring at the beady woman in front of him.
The woman was plump, wearing a cyan skirt, holding a sword in her hand, and her face was filled with coldness.
There were three women standing next to her, all dressed in the same style of clothes. Their appearance was relatively ordinary and not as good-looking as the woman in the middle.
"Dwarf mule, now I am not alone. I am not afraid of you. If you dare to come close, I will kill you with one sword."
Although the woman spoke very sternly, there was a sense of sternness and inner reluctance inside.
"Little girl, if you die by your sword, you can be a ghost. However, I want to say something. I am not a short mule. I am the leader of the Qingyun Sect. If you offend me, you will offend the Qingyun Sect. Qingyun Sect is not It's easy to mess with." The short man chuckled a few times.
A child nearby heard it, and tears welled up in his eyes. Fortunately, the adult covered the child's mouth to prevent the child from crying.
"snort!"
The woman in green wanted to say something, but finally held back. She just snorted and turned around to walk into the city.
The short man touched the beard on his chin and followed him.
"Is that Qingyun Sect Master Yu Lingxiao? As expected, he is as lustful as the rumors..."
"Not only that, Yu Lingxiao is not only lustful, but also greedy for money. The reputation of Qingyun Sect, a huge righteous sect, is almost ruined by him."
"I really wonder what happened to the sect leader of Qingyun Sect, and why did I pass the position of sect leader to him!"
"This involves the secrets of Qingyun Sect. Let's go to the tavern, have a glass of wine, and talk slowly."
"..."
After hearing the chatter of those people in the world, Luo Xingchen roughly understood the identities of the two parties in the previous confrontation.
That short man turned out to be Yu Lingxiao, the master of the Qingyun Sect. He really got such a good name in vain.
Qiu Qingman, the woman in green clothes, is a disciple of Jinchan Island. Jinchan Island has a lot of influence, but it is mainly located on overseas islands, and not many people actually come to the inland.
"Yu Lingxiao is the leader of the Qingyun Sect. What is the relationship between the Qingyun Sect and the Seven Swords of Qingyun?"
Luo Xingchen felt that there should be a connection between the two. Although Qingyun Mountain is vast, how could there be two sects named after Qingyun?
However, looking at the virtues of Yu Lingxiao, the leader of the Qingyun Sect, how can it be related to the Seven Swords of Qingyun, which is comparable to the master? There is a huge difference between the two.
"The relationship...of course there is, Young Master, the Seven Swords of Qingyun come from the Qingyun Sect, and the Qingyun Sect is a sect that split from the Qingyun Sect, so today's Qingyun Sect and Qingyun Sect practice similar swordsmanship." Mo Anbai said.
"I see, then why did Qingyun Sect break away from Qingyun Sect back then?" Luo Xingchen asked.
"This involves an old incident from back then. At that time, there was an amazing disciple of Qingyun Sect who promoted the original Qingyun Sword Technique. However, he was plotted against by his fellow sect. He broke away angrily and started his own way. Qingyun Sect..."
Mo Anbai said.
"So, Qingyun Sect and Qingyun Sect have a feud?" Luo Xingchen asked.
"That's not necessarily true. The two sects are both in Qingyun Mountain and are very close to each other. It is said that the founder of the Qingyun Sect had a deep affection for the Qingyun Sect. In his later years, he reconciled with the Qingyun Sect. However, these are all rumors. ." Mo Anbai said.
"I'm afraid that the rumored Qingyun Seven Swords have the same virtues as Qingyun Sect Master Yu Lingxiao." Luo Xingchen frowned.
"Young master, don't worry. The famous and upright figures of Qingyun Seven Swords are not comparable to people like Yu Lingxiao." Mo Anbai smiled and said.
The two entered the county seat while riding horses and talking.
Funing County is not an ordinary county. The county is very large, with wide streets and a large flow of people.
After entering the streets of the city, Luo Xingchen and Mo Anbai could only let their horses walk forward, but could not run.
"Miss Bai, the county seat of Funing County, please lead the way."
Before coming to Funing County, Mo Anbai said that she had been to Funing County before and was very familiar with it.
In this case, after entering Funing County, she will naturally be responsible for leading the way.
"Master, where are we going?" Mo Anbai asked.
"Let's go to the county government office." Luo Xingchen said.
"Okay, sir, please."
Mo Anbai is indeed very familiar with Funing County. In fact, she is not only familiar with Funing County, she is also familiar with Linze City and the surrounding areas. After all, she grew up in Linze City, and then traveled a lot with the puppet master A Qing. places, and even drew maps of many places himself.
As they approached the county government office, a figure flashed out of the side door and waved to Luo Xingchen and Mo Anbai.
"Come in here."
When he saw that the people waving were Zi Yan and Luo Xingchen, Mo Anbai quickly followed her in from the side door.
After entering, someone came forward to close the door, and someone else came up to take the reins of the war horse.
"Follow me." Zi Yan quickly led the way.
Judging from Zi Yan's expression, Luo Xingchen and Mo Anbai didn't ask any questions and just followed behind.
Not long after, they followed Zi Yan and came to a house.
What greeted them were two middle-aged men wearing official robes and official seals.
"I've met Mr. Luo." The two men stepped forward and saluted.
