Chapter Thirty-Five. The Golden Yin's True Qi (Part 1)(1/2)
Not far outside the city, there were many people leaving and entering the city. The bustling atmosphere made people feel a bit lively.
He led the horse, stretched out comfortably, and walked all the way from Youshui Village. It was really uneasy along the way, but now he could finally calm down a little.
Suhe County is located in the southeast of Jiangling area. The city is built near the water. According to the forum, some larger towns have experts in charge. I don't know if this is true. What is the situation in Suhe City.
Soon, he arrived in front of the city gate. Outside the city gate, several soldiers guarding the city were checking the passers-by.
Jiang Yang held the horse and watched the bustling crowds coming in and out of the city gate. It was as noisy as a market. He was surprised. This was much more lively than Youshui Village.
After showing the wooden talisman, he entered the city.
There is also a notice posted at the city gate. There are many reward lists posted on the notice board, and there are many people surrounding it.
Jiang Yang took a look and saw that some were bandits outside the city and some were strange incidents.
He was slightly stunned, it was actually quite a lot.
Fortunately, it is rare in the city, there is only one.
It is said that there have been several disappearance cases in the city, and now a large reward is being offered to the experts to investigate.
And if anyone can provide clues, the county government will also provide a reward based on the size of the clues provided.
Disappearance case? Jiang Yang frowned.
I don’t know if it’s man-made or a weird incident.
He heard people talking around him.
"This disappearance case has been going on for so long, why don't we still have a clue?"
"I heard people say that there has been a lot of turmoil in the west of the city these past two days, but I don't know if that's true."
"Maybe it's true. I heard that Lao Zheng, who was on duty a few days ago, disappeared while walking on Xinghua Lane."
"That's not all!"
"The police in the city were investigating at night a few days ago, and several people disappeared! I heard that one of them came back and went crazy!"
"It's not really haunted, is it?"
"Hey, hey, what should I do?"
And at this moment, I suddenly heard a voice coming from behind: "What's haunted? I think it's probably someone pretending to be a ghost."
"This is a city, not a wilderness. How can there be so many ghosts?"
Jiang Yang heard the sound and looked aside, only to see a man and a woman.
The man is very strong and has a short beard. He looks very old-fashioned, but judging from his facial features, he should not be too old, only in his twenties.
Next to her was a girl of about fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a goose-yellow silk dress.
The man said to the girl on the side: "Junior sister, when we come out this time, Master asked us to visit more celebrities from various places and do more chivalry. In my opinion, we might as well take off this reward list and investigate this so-called 'haunting'
Now that we know it, we can promote the reputation of our Jiangling Prefecture's 'Hanjiang Sword' for Master and him."
When Jiang Yang heard what the young man said, he couldn't help but be stunned. They said there were many experts in the city, could it be possible that he would meet an expert now?
But just revealing the ranking like this, I don’t know whether it’s really high or just stupid.
At this time, Jiang Yang saw the girl shaking her head: "Senior Brother Guo, we are new here, and many things are still unclear. How about we first understand the situation, investigate, and then consider whether to reveal the list."
Jiang Yang was surprised. He didn't expect that this girl was more meticulous and knew to investigate first.
It seems that someone is taking care of this matter, which is good, so that I don't have to worry about it.
What did I just hear in their conversation... Jiangling Mansion, Hanjiang Sword? Is it very famous?
This is a good thing. He has a good reputation and his strength may not be bad. If this matter can be solved, it will naturally be the best.
I have been through many dangers, so it would be good to take a break this time.
As for now, after a whole day of running around and the dangers in the ancient tomb, it was still important to eat and sleep. Jiang Yang simply ignored it and walked straight inside.
Crossing the market streets and looking forward, we saw a two- or three-story restaurant with rows of red lanterns hanging in front of the door. The restaurant was not closed yet.
There was also a large two-story attic opposite the restaurant. Jiang Yang glanced at the plaque on the attic and saw it read: Fu'an Inn.
At this moment, his eyes lit up when he saw a young man in Tsing Yi, and he immediately came forward and said enthusiastically: "Sir, do you need to stay in a hotel?"
"The best room." Jiang Yang took a look and saw that this one was quite big, so he didn't bother to choose any more.
"Okay!" The boy immediately smiled and said, "Sir, I'll have your horse taken to the stable for you."
Soon, the boy went to make arrangements and then led Jiang Yang through the door.
"Do you have anything to eat here?" Jiang Yang walked in and took a look. The antique lobby had a unique charm.
"We have wine and food, what would you like to eat?"
"Bring me some of your best dishes and send them directly to my room."
"Okay!"
"correct."
"How much?"
"I'll charge you..." the shopkeeper calculated, "Three hundred and eighty-seven dollars."
Less than half a tael of silver, Jiang Yang thought to himself. Now that he has a huge sum of money, flowers worth hundreds or hundreds of dollars actually feel cheap.
At this moment, he heard a familiar voice coming from behind him: "Boss, I want two rooms!"
Jiang Yang turned around, was it them?
It was the two senior brothers and sisters I met at the notice board just now.
Do they live here too?
But think about it, these two people came from a big city like Gangneung, so they might not be used to living in a small inn.
I chose the largest inn in the city, so it was normal for them to stay here.
"Just in time," said the boy in the store, "This young man also wants to go to a room. I will take you up together."
Jiang Yang nodded and subconsciously looked at the two of them.
At this time, he saw the girl's bright eyes and looked at her curiously.
Perhaps because he saw Jiang Yang dressed as a swordsman and wearing a sword, the other party suddenly said: "This young hero, are you going out to practice alone?"
"Me?" Jiang Yang was stunned. As a homebody who often stayed at home, he rarely interacted with strangers, so he didn't expect that the other party would take the initiative to say hello to him.
This made him a little confused as to what to answer and made him feel embarrassed.
"Yes, alone."
"Don't you have any friends with you?" The girl was a little surprised.
Jiang Yang said awkwardly: "I don't know many people outside, so I can only be a widowed king."
"The widow... king?"
Jiang Yang was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was doing, and then explained: "It's the Lone Ranger."
The girl immediately burst into laughter, with a bit of novelty on her face: "This is the first time I have heard such a statement."
At this time, Jiang Yang saw the sturdy senior brother coming forward, looked at Jiang Yang, and asked: "I wonder where this young hero learned from?"
"Master?" Jiang Yang looked at the man in front of him with some doubts. How could he have any mentor?
The sword skills were picked up, the swords were given by others, and the secret books were compiled in ancient tombs.
He could only answer casually: "I haven't learned from a teacher yet, so I'm just practicing on my own."
"No mentor?"
When Jiang Yang saw the burly man, he seemed to be somewhat interested in making friends with him. When he heard that Jiang Yang didn't have any disciples, a look of disappointment and disdain appeared in his eyes. However, it was probably because of his upbringing that he hid it well.
He just said: "Junior sister, we have been traveling all day, so we should go back to the room quickly and rest."
Jiang Yang was secretly surprised. Is there still such a chain of contempt?
The girl frowned: "Brother, I'm not tired yet, how about you go and rest first?"
"..."
Jiang Yang's face twitched visibly when he saw this strong man.
"Guests." At this time, the waiter in the store came forward and said, "The rooms are ready. May I take you up?"
The burly man spoke again: "Junior sister, let's go to the room and take a look first."
The girl had no choice but to respond: "Here we come."
She said to Jiang Yang again: "Little young hero, let's go see the room."
Jiang Yang nodded and watched the girl in yellow in front of him turn around and go upstairs, with her two braids beating like butterfly wings.
Jiang Yang thought it was quite fun and headed upstairs together.
