Half a month later, Luochuan City.
Along the way, Jiang Zicheng and Feng Qingwu finally arrived here without any danger. The concealment of their identities was quite successful. Except for the two unexpected encounters with Xia Zhong and Xia Hong, everything else went smoothly.
When the carriage entered Luochuan City, Feng Qingwu opened the bead curtain, looked out with curiosity, and looked at it without leaving a trace -
Luochuan City is very big.
You can see this even just by looking at the city gate.
The monks who were guarding the door, responsible for inspecting people and collecting city fees, were maintaining order in an orderly manner. Their carriages followed closely behind the fire of the team and entered one after another without causing much trouble.
In the queue that was preparing to enter the city, Feng Qingwu had already noticed that there were quite a few monks who could not see through their cultivation, and there were also quite a few who looked like alchemists at first glance. The main ones were a mixed bag of fish and dragons, and the water was very deep...
Jiang Zicheng on the side took advantage of the situation and explained: "Luochuan City is the territory of the Xia family after all, and the Xia family is a typical alchemy family, so they will give face."
"No wonder, otherwise there would be trouble easily with so many monks."
Feng Qingwu couldn't help but nodded and said, suddenly remembering something, and turned to look at Jiang Zicheng: "I thought you had arrived at Tianxuanmen very early, but I didn't expect that you actually knew something about Luochuan City. Not exposed.”
"After all, I grew up here, so I am naturally familiar with it."
Jiang Zicheng showed a helpless expression: "Sister, if you have anything to ask, please ask as soon as possible. We will return to Jiang's house soon -"
Having said this, Jiang Zicheng paused and said again: "Just ask."
Realizing that he seemed to be trying to hide something, Feng Qingwu did not ask any further questions and instead asked, "Brother, how much do you know about the alchemist gathering?"
"There is a gathering of alchemists..."
Jiang Zicheng pondered for a moment and said, "I don't know much."
Feng Qingwu, who was still looking forward to it:...
Seeing Feng Qingwu's disappointed look, Jiang Zicheng couldn't help laughing, and then said: "Due to my own reasons, I am actually under the control of the Jiang family most of the time, so I don't know much about it. .”
"But I have heard of some things. For example, in gatherings like this, not only alchemists come, but many other people will participate. And those responsible for handling these matters are not only the Xia family, but also... Duobao Pavilion .”
"As expected, there should be a deal between Duobao Pavilion and the Xia family, and I guess it is not limited to the alchemist gathering."
Hearing this, Feng Qingwu couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.
She had heard some things from Liu Zhen, and she also knew that only Duobao Pavilion, an "industry expert", could do this so many times and facilitate such a large gathering or even a trading venue.
Therefore, she had already guessed that the two must be related and cooperate.
But I didn't expect...
Will the cooperation between Duobao Pavilion and the Xia family be deeper than expected?
But just when Feng Qingwu was still about to ask, Jiang Zicheng spread his hands helplessly: "Sister, if you ask again, I really don't know anything. I only heard this from some people in the Jiang family. It’s just gossip.”
"Sometimes the truth is partially hidden in the rumors."
Feng Qingwu blinked and chuckled, but did not ask any more questions.
The carriage moved forward slowly, and after waiting for a while, it finally arrived at the city gate. The two monks guarding there were obviously tired, and their eyes were all green and black, and they were yawning.
It seems that even if he has the physique of a monk...
If you don’t take a good rest, you’ll probably end up being overworked.
Feng Qingwu was thinking wildly in his heart, but on the other side, the monks guarding the city gate had already recognized the Jiang family's carriage, because the coachman directly showed the Jiang family's token, and they also noticed Jiang Zicheng inside.
"Hello, Master Jiang, this is -"
"My sister."
"Oh, hello, Miss Jiang."
The monk collected the spirit stone while greeting him, and then took out a projection stone from his arms and opened it towards Jiang Zicheng: "I'm sorry to bother you, but I still want to ask, have Master Jiang and Miss Jiang seen this person? "
"This is……"
When Jiang Zicheng saw the projection stone, his pupils shrank, and he seemed a little surprised, but Feng Qingwu patted his hand quietly.
The next moment, the sickly and soft girl slowly said: "I haven't seen it before."
"Okay, sorry to bother you two."
The monk was a little helpless, but he didn't seem to be surprised. He just put away the projection stone, but just when he was about to retreat, Feng Qingwu suddenly said: "By the way, I didn't know who this was -"
"Oh, it's the head of the Xia family who is looking for her."
It was not a big deal, so the monk said casually, seemingly explaining it to many people: "I heard that this person was invited to attend the alchemist gathering, and the head of the Xia family specially asked us to guard him."
"As soon as someone comes, please come to Xia's house as a guest."
"I don't know what kind of big shot he is that deserves such solemnity."
Feng Qingwu's smile was stiff: "Yes, then I'll leave first."
The monk did not stop them, opened the city gate for them, and made way for them.
It wasn't until he left that Feng Qingwu put down the bead curtain, with a slightly ugly expression on his face: "Brother, have you seen the projection stone?"
"Um."
Jiang Zicheng nodded.
The two of them didn't speak, but they both understood, because - the face that appeared on the projection stone just now was exactly Feng Qingwu's face!
If Feng Qingwu hadn't concealed his identity in advance, otherwise...
I'm afraid he was taken to the Xia family.
As for what to do as a guest?
Who the hell believes this nonsense!
Whoever invited people to be guests blocked the city gate like this, asking and checking one by one. How could this be an invitation? If they said it was like arresting people, they would be more likely to believe it.
Feng Qingwu couldn't help but frown: "Fortunately..."
Fortunately, she felt that something was wrong in advance and was worried that someone would interfere with it or cause trouble, so she hid her identity, otherwise she would be in trouble.
She still has no idea what the Xia family means.
Especially the one who invited her——
The head of the Xia family, an underground alchemist, Xia Henghe.
