No one is sure whether the Xingxiu Sect and Copper Coin will fight in Qifeng City.
The letter sent by the government took two hours of careful delivery before it reached Shangguan Xi's hands.
Open the envelope and unfold the paper.
Shangguan Xi's brows furrowed.
"Is there any new news about Sister Shangguan?" Shen Li approached and asked.
She handed the letter to the young man: "Analyze it, how much is true and how much is false?"
After reading it twice, Shen Li smiled and said, "I guess it's eighty percent true."
"What do you think?"
"The Copper Coin Society is just a martial arts force, and there are only a limited number of upper-level fourth-level masters willing to work for it. So many people died in a short period of time that no one would want to continue fighting unless a second-level master from the Copper Coin Society comes. "
"Well, I thought about it and decided to keep the appointment."
"There is no need for you to go there in person for this matter. I can just go and find out what's going on and report back to you."
Shen Li was afraid that Shangguan Xi, the helmsman, would never return.
It can be seen from this letter that the Copper Coin Society has been colluding with the officials of Qifeng City for a long time. There is no guarantee that what is being arranged is not the Hongmen Banquet. If something happens to Shangguan Xi, the Xingxiu Sect will be leaderless in Qifeng City.
At that time, I was really in a dilemma.
The young man knew this very well.
Shangguan smiled and asked, "You look down on me?"
"That's not possible! Who knows that Sister Shangguan is one of the seven great judges of the Xingxiu Sect. Although she is currently in the third-level Chaolu realm, she might become a second-level master in the Siming realm tomorrow. I'm just worried that they will attack her once they get together. , it will make Shangguan happy."
"Haha... No wonder your boy is so popular with women, he just talks nicely."
"No, no, what I said to Sister Shangguan is all from the bottom of my heart."
At this moment, Yang Baiye came back.
First, he talked to Shangguan Xi about Mu Twelfth Mother, "This is the situation. Mu Twelfth Mother no longer pesters Brother Shen, but instead pesters me."
"Yong Mao's reputation is quite famous, and Madam Mu Twelve is also beautiful. Brother Yang might as well take him into the house as a concubine." Shen Li said with a smile.
Yang Baiye said helplessly: "Why does Brother Shen also have this tone?"
"Who else said it but me?"
"Oh, who else could it be? Of course it's the old man in the family. They are all looking forward to holding their grandson in their arms soon. Mu Twelve's mother just happened to be in her arms. They can't wait to have a concubine in the next moment and give birth to a fat boy."
Shen Li suddenly wondered: "It's strange, Brother Yang has such a good family background, why hasn't he gotten married so far?"
"What's the rush? I've never heard of a thirty-year-old man."
"It has nothing to do with your age!"
"Let's talk about it again. When the ancestor returns to the Yang family, everything will be arranged by him." Yang Boye moved the ancestor out.
Shangguan Xi asked him to read the letter.
"You can't go. If something happens, the Xingxiu Sect will become a piece of sand in Qifeng City. This is something no one wants to see." Yang Baiye had the same opinion as Shen Li.
Shangguan Xi sat down and asked someone to change the tea. Sun Xi was also there, but she kept eating cakes and paid no attention to what they discussed.
Before entering the door, Yang Boye felt Sun Xi's aura, but now was not the opportunity to ask.
Shen Li said: "Let's do this. Brother Yang and I will go back to the city, and Sister Shangguan will tell us the acceptable conditions, so that we can do things easily."
"Yes, for the sake of the overall situation, you must not take risks. There are so many brothers down there waiting to give orders."
Two people persuaded him, and Shangguan Xi had no choice but to nod.
Immediately, he carefully informed the two of them of the conditions that could be agreed to on the spot.
Of course, Yang Baiye is the leader and Shen Li is the assistant.
After all, in this aspect, Yang Boye has experienced much more than Young Man.
When the two of them were about to return to Qifeng City, Shangguan Xi looked at Shen Li and warned him: "Keep your composure."
"Sister Shangguan, don't worry, nothing serious will happen."
After they left, Shangguan Xi returned to the room. Sun Xi must have eaten enough, but she couldn't help but burp while sitting on the chair.
Now Sun Xi and Shi Cai were completely different. Not only did they no longer have the murderous aura that even Shangguan Xi felt, but their expressions also gradually softened.
Just like now, Sun Xi had a shy expression and his eyes were evasive, as if he didn't dare to look at her.
"The Bitter Prison Shura has such a great influence on you." Shangguan Xi whispered, "How did you survive in the past?"
"Grandpa has always suppressed the evil thoughts in my heart."
"What method did he use?"
"I don't know. Grandpa doesn't allow me to ask."
"Actually, it's good. You still have a peaceful life. Like Shen Li, you have always been troubled by the consequences of the Vajra Dragon Elephant Body. You have been scared since childhood."
"Well, we, the lucky ones who seem to be chosen by God, all have hidden dangers of one kind or another."
"I really don't know whether having innate supernatural powers is a blessing or a curse."
Sun Xi once thought about this question carefully: "This should be a blessing."
"Oh?" Shangguan was puzzled.
"Because I have seen more scenery. If there was no Hell Shura, I'm afraid I would have to train hard step by step from the ninth level like others..."
"Haha... That's true. Normally you are more optimistic."
Sun Xi smiled bitterly and said, "Even if I'm not optimistic, it won't change my current situation for the time being. Sister Shangguan, I want to ask you something."
"you say."
"Shen Li's Vajra Dragon Elephant Body also has hidden dangers, but at the cost of his fall, he has temporarily suppressed the hidden dangers. Although his lifespan has bottomed out, there will be no sudden hidden dangers in the short term. I hope... you can let Shen Li give this method to me."
Shangguan Xi asked in surprise: "What did Shen Li say?"
"He said that if the same method is used on me, unexpected changes may occur."
She didn't know much about this matter, so she thought for a moment and replied: "That brat Shen Li is back, let's find a solution together."
Sun Xi looked at Shangguan Xi's caring expression and could only nod his head obediently: "Okay."
…
Shen Li and Yang Baiye rode to the city.
After a fighting in the rivers and lakes that did not have too much impact, the people coming and going were very cautious and took the initiative to stay away when they saw strangers coming from other places.
They really can't afford to offend them. The masters of the world can destroy a house with just a single move. Who dares to get close to them?
The two of them had few conversations on the road.
After entering the city, Yang Baiye led the young man to the government office.
Qifeng City's government buildings are grand, and the stone lions at the entrance are cleaned every day. When they arrived, they happened to see two clerks each carrying a bucket, placing them in front of the stone lions, wetting the cloth, and wiping them carefully.
The stone lions in front of aristocratic families and the stone lions in front of government offices have different specifications and meanings.
The stone lion in front of the government office symbolizes majesty, justice, and incorruptibility, while the aristocratic families seek to be different from the common people.
"You two are..."
When I walked to the gate of the government office, a middle-aged clerk took the initiative to ask.
Looking at the clothes Shen Li and Yang Baiye were wearing, one knew that they had unusual origins.
"Discuss the matter with someone from the Copper Coin Society."
"Oh oh oh, it turns out that we are two distinguished guests. The county captain has already ordered you to come and I will take you to the side courtyard."
Yang Baiye frowned and asked, "I remember that the side courtyard of the Qifeng City government office was used to entertain Shangguan from Luo Jing."
"It's easy to do things cheaply. Recently, several important figures have come to the government. The county captain has arranged for them to live in the side courtyard temporarily so that they can discuss important matters anytime and anywhere." The clerk said happily.
There is a saying that most of the flowing county magistrates, iron-clad county officials, and officials serving in Qifeng City came from aristocratic families. They just pretended to be gilded and left, but the petty officials stayed here for generations. In other words, everything in Qifeng City, big and small, is basically done by petty officials.
Another young official with a long beard came over and said, "It turns out to be Young Master Yang. I'm being rude. Please go this way."
Yang Baiye smiled and said, "Zhao Lushi, why did you follow me here?"
The position of recorder is a small official in the government who records and writes. Don't be dissatisfied with the low official position. In fact, you can't do it without some connections. This Zhao recorder comes from the Zhao family in Qifeng City. Although the Zhao family is not a well-known family, they are in the world. He has a good way of doing business, and as the family has produced several Jinshi for ten consecutive years, his status has risen with the tide.
Four years ago, the Yang family and the Zhao family jointly made a deal and made a lot of money. As a result, the two families formed a good relationship. The sister of the current head of the Zhao family married Yang Baiye's sixth uncle, which was even better.
"It's not just the turmoil in the world that disturbs people's peace." Zhao Lushi said with a smile, "Of course, I'm not talking about you two."
"I understand, there are many martial arts masters in Qifeng City, and there are some fights from time to time."
"It's easy to just fight. Those martial arts masters don't care about each other. They often end up killing people. My hair almost fell out when I was writing the copy."
Although Zhao Lushi said just now, he was not referring to Shen Li and Yang Baiye, but he was talking about them both inside and outside.
"Haha... let Zhao Lu worry about it."
Zhao Lushi approached Yang Baiye: "Don't worry about what happened in the city. According to the relationship between our two families, I will help you with everything I can. If I can't help you, you have to ask the Yang family to go to the county captain Li Nianzheng. This person is greedy for money." , spending a little money can suppress the problem.”
"Thank you Zhao Lu for the heads up."
"Well, come on. Although I don't know why you are here, I hope you can lower your attitude. After all, this is the official residence of Qifeng City and represents the face of the court. Even the Yang family must abide by the rules. Come."
Give me detailed instructions.
Zhao Lushi and the little official led the two of them into the yard of Lei He, the helmsman of the Copper Coin Club.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Shan Bo standing at the foot of the steps of the main room.
See Yang Baiye coming.
Shan Bo suddenly burst into laughter: "Brother Yang, you didn't expect that you and I would meet again so soon! Oh, isn't this the young brother Shen who has extraordinary combat power? You are here too! Come on! Please come in, please come in quickly, the best banquet has been prepared long ago, and the banquet will start just waiting for you two to arrive."
Zhao Lushi and the clerk quietly retreated.
Leave the yard.
The clerk asked in a low voice: "I didn't expect that the old man is usually so arrogant and eager to look at people with his nose, but now he is so respectful."
"Don't talk. The hearing of martial arts masters is very scary. If they hear you, be careful that you die inexplicably when you get home!"
"Yes Yes Yes."
