The Huanhe River comes out of the mountain mouth, the river channel widens, and the morning sun shines on the river.
Horse hooves stepped on the shallows, trampling the morning light into a river of stars.
Two men in bunters at the entrance of the town saw the two horses crossing the ford and hurried over to greet them.
"Hello!" The person on the horse reined in the horse, and the man with a green chin saw clearly that he was a girl wearing a gray robe.
"What is the purpose of this immortal master coming to my town?"
"The government office has orders to come to prevent floods."
The leading man raised his hand and said, "Excuse me, Immortal Master, for making this trip. It's just that it's not convenient for Tangkou Town to receive foreign guests now. You two Immortal Masters, please take a rest and go back."
The monk on the horse clicked his tongue impatiently, and the other horse scratched the ground.
Before the leading man could react, a sword was thrust into his neck, and he broke into a cold sweat.
He didn't even see the opponent take action.
"Are you qualified to let me go? You can only speak to me after meeting your magistrate."
"Okay!" The young man on the other horse whipped his whip to stop the other man, "My senior sister is very capable and has a bad temper. We have come all the way from afar, and the government and the sect have to deal with each other, so let us go into the town to show off. , both ends are passable.”
Neither of these two monks could afford to offend him. The two men exchanged glances and said, "Two monks, we are also doing things under orders. The people in this small place are blind to Mount Tai, and they have offended the immortal master. This Then take the immortal master to see the magistrate."
"The two immortal masters are easy to talk to. Who is this one?"
"We rescued this person from Ren Yazi, but it's a pity that he was mute," Qin Feng opened his mouth and Wei Xi, who was wearing tattered clothes, made a cowering look behind her, "Otherwise, find someone The family is settled.”
As soon as the two men heard this, they knew that the two immortal masters were still young and had simple minds. They were half relieved. After a few compliments, they led the three of them into the town to find the magistrate.
Wei Xi observed the town while acting. After crossing the bridge, there was the city gate. The city wall was built quite high. Entering the town, there is a gravel road. There are some small houses on the streets, and a few shops can be seen sparsely.
Probably because the three of them arrived too early, there were not many people on the street.
Wei Xi felt strange in his heart: How could a town with sporadic gold sand production be so depressed?
A few people walking together and two horses walked very quickly, and they arrived at the county government office in a short time.
The leading man sent another man to report to the county magistrate, and he stayed here to talk to the immortal master.
"Which sect do you guys come from?"
Qin Feng ignored him and didn't even speak with a smile on his face. Wei Xi was role-playing now and couldn't answer. The leader realized he was bored and didn't ask any more questions.
After a while, a middle-aged man with a thin mustache hurried over.
"Cheng Xiancheng!" The leading man hurriedly greeted, while Qin Feng and Lian Gouluo stood aside holding their horses.
"Nonsense! How can Master Immortal stop you!" Cheng Xiancheng reprimanded the leading man, who nodded and bowed, not daring to speak back.
"Masters, I'm really sorry. The county grandpa is ill and can't entertain you." Master Cheng had another attitude toward Qin Feng.
"It's nothing," Lian Goupu replied, "Originally, we shouldn't bother the county magistrate if he's not feeling well, but it's just that the master's family has orders, and the government office has also given instructions, so we came to help with flood prevention."
"It's an honor for the Immortal Master to come to our door. How can we trouble the Immortal Master to prevent floods..."
Before the county magistrate could finish speaking, Qin Feng interrupted, "Stop talking nonsense. We have our own reasons. What are you writing here?"
Qin Feng specially said these words in a sharp tone to highlight his domineering and unreasonable tone.
Cooperating with her, Lian Goulu smiled teasingly.
The county magistrate was not annoyed and just said, "Looking at how confused I am, the immortal master will naturally want to help, and we will naturally cooperate fully. It's just that I don't know the immortal master's name yet, and it would be better if I have a token to give to the county magistrate."
"Lian Gou Pi." "Qin."
The two handed the task card to the man. The county magistrate stretched out his hand like Wei Xi and said with a hook, "We rescued this child from Ren Yazi, not from the sect."
The county magistrate looked at the disgraced Wei Xi. Wei Xi seemed to be afraid of him, grabbing Qin Feng's hand and hiding behind her.
"Two immortal masters, this child has a hard life. It will be inconvenient for you two to carry her. Why don't I find a family to raise her." The county magistrate said, holding two signs in his hand.
"Didn't that person tell you just now? This child has been made mute by medicine. I'm afraid we have to bring him back to the sect and cure him before we can find a way out." Qin Feng's tone was bad. The county magistrate heard this and said a few words: This child is very lucky. , the immortal master was kind-hearted, so he went to find the county magistrate.
Now there is no need for Wei Xi to say anything. Qin Feng and Lian Gouyi both know that there is something fishy in Tangkou Town.
It's just that it's not easy to discuss here. The three of them can only wait for the secretive county magistrate to come back.
Fortunately, the county magistrate came back very quickly and returned the task cards to Qin Feng and Lian Gou Ni, "Dear immortal masters, the county magistrate has already seen it, but he really didn't dare to do anything to the immortal masters, so he ordered us to entertain the immortal masters well. Several of them The Immortal Master can stay until the end of the flood season, and it will be easier for him to do business by then."
Lian Gouyi put the sign away. In view of the division of roles, he glanced at Qin Feng before saying, "Of course it's good, but I don't know how long the flood season in Tangkou Town will last?"
"In previous years, it was about half a month, but here it is no different than Nanjiang. It will start to rain in about five or six days."
Wei Xi secretly pinched Qin Feng. Qin Feng maintained his cold expression and asked, "There are still five or six days left. Wouldn't it be better if we go to the dam and handle the matter properly?"
The county magistrate's expression changed, "That's not okay. The little immortal master just told us what he said. The people in this city are not easy to mess with."
"There is a tradition in Tangkou Town called Sacrifice to the Huan River. Every year before the flood season, sacrifices are put into the Huan River. It is not allowed for outsiders to go up the dam at this time. Master Immortal, please don't mention this again."
When Cheng Xian Cheng said this, his expression didn't seem to be fake. Both hard nails and soft nails had encountered each other. Qin Feng also knew how to give up when things were good and let others take them to the inn in the city.
After sending away the two men, Qin Feng threw a voiceless note. She bought several of these to prevent anyone from eavesdropping.
"It's weird that this place isn't weird!" Qin Feng poured himself a glass of water, "Wei Xi, can your trick work?"
Wei Xi and the others were fast on their feet, and they quickly surpassed the group of barbarians, but at night Wei Xi suddenly said that he wanted to pretend to be harmless people.
Lian Gouyi wanted to laugh, but Wei Xi's next sentence was that they should also pretend to be domineering and unreasonable, and their relationship was not good.
Wei Xi said that in this way, she could hide the fact that she sent the token to the government office, and secondly, it could also make others relax their vigilance.
A child with no strength and two monks who are at odds with each other will not make others too wary.
Qin Feng and Lian Gouyi thought Wei Xi was a little too cautious at first, but today they saw that Wei Xi's move was really good.
"I hope it's useful," Wei Xi just said as a precaution, "If we want to complete the mission and return it intact, we have to be cautious."
"Indeed," Lian Gouai took out the mission card in his arms, "Let's take a look!"
The task card still looks the same, it is two bamboo boards pressed together.
Lian Gouli took out a small note from the folder and said, "I am a habitual thief. I knew something was wrong when this thing was handed back to me."
The piece of private goods that was carried was unfolded, with the inscription "One water brings gold".
