Due to a fight in the middle of the river, we were delayed for some time. Therefore, it was already an hour after we crossed the Wei River. The pier here was actually very lively, with various shops lined up. It was much more prosperous than the pier on the other side.
"It's really lively here," Wu Xiangyuan said.
"Yes, this place is only twenty or thirty miles away from Weicheng, the second largest city in Jingzhou. It should be more prosperous," Shang Jian said.
"Oh, that's it. Let's go to Weicheng today to see it," Wu Xiangyuan said.
"Of course, let's go, brother Yuan, let's hire a car to go there," Shang Jian said excitedly.
"Okay" Wu Xiangyuan replied.
After a while, they hired an extremely luxurious car. The journey to Weicheng cost fifty taels of silver. It was really expensive. However, Shang Jian didn't care about the money and gave him the money immediately.
, he was afraid that Wu Xiangyuan would compete with him to pay.
Wu Xiangyuan just smiled when he saw this, but his impression of Shang Jian became better. At least he felt that Shang Jian had the intention to be on good terms with him.
"Is this your first time to Weicheng, Brother Shang?" Wu Xiangyuan asked after getting into the car and sitting down.
"Yes, this is my first time out of Yuezhou, but I have already heard of Weicheng's name, so I am very yearning for it," Shang Jian said.
"As an ancient city dating back thousands of years, Weicheng has an extremely rich cultural atmosphere, and it is worth experiencing it," Wu Xiangyuan said.
"Yes, Brother Yuan is right," Shang Jian said excitedly.
It took them about another hour to arrive at Weicheng. In order to have a look at Weicheng, they got off the carriage not far from the city gate and prepared to visit Weicheng on foot. As soon as they got off the carriage, they were shocked by the magnificent city gate.
It is actually five or six feet high. The two characters "Weicheng" written in seal script look extremely simple and vicissitudes of life, making people immersed in it unconsciously.
"It really deserves to be an ancient city. It's really eye-opening." Wu Xiangyuan praised. Along the way, he started from Shuzhou, passed Yongzhou to the right, and then passed by Jingzhou. He passed through no less than a dozen big cities, but none of them were like this.
Weicheng is so magnificent.
"Well, it's indeed majestic." Shang Jian couldn't help but admire it.
"Two bumpkins again," the city guard said disdainfully upon seeing their actions. Shang Jian and Wu Xiangyuan couldn't help but frowned after hearing this.
"What did you say?" The book boy immediately yelled with wide eyes after hearing this.
"Oh, my master doesn't dare to say anything. As a slave, you have become so fierce. You are a country bumpkin. What's wrong with you, a country bumpkin?" the city guard said unscrupulously.
"You are seeking death," Shang Yi said, stepping forward to beat the city guard.
"Shang Yi, don't be impulsive. Why bother arguing with a watchdog? You're not afraid of losing your identity," Shang Jian said quickly.
"Yes, young master, I made a mistake, I shouldn't have argued with the dog," Shang Yi said with shame.
"You are seeking death." The city guard was humiliated, so he became angry and punched Shang Yi with his fist.
However, he had just taken a step forward and was stunned by a very strong aura, and fell to the ground with a "pop". Wu Xiangyuan knew that it was Shang Jian's move, but it was very obscure. If it weren't for Wu Xiangyuan's strong soul power,
, I really can’t find it. It can be seen that Shang Jian’s control of Qi Jin has reached a very high level. I am afraid that many people cannot compare with him.
"Hmph, you are overestimating your capabilities," Shang Yi said disdainfully,
"Let's go into the city." Shang Jian and Wu Xiangyuan entered the city gate without even looking at the city guard, while the remaining city guards watched them shrinking and did not dare to do anything when they entered the city.
Seeing this, Wu Xiangyuan couldn't help but sigh: There are people everywhere who bully the weak and fear the strong.
Their unhappiness was quickly replaced by their interest in sightseeing. Weicheng was very big, and they only visited seven or eight scenic spots in one day. In the evening, they found an inn to rest. Their rooms were opposite each other, separated by a corridor.
.
It was night, the wind was high and the moon was dark. After Wu Xiangyuan and Shang Jian said goodbye, he returned to his room and prepared for his daily practice. However, he became more and more interested in Shang Jian, so he used his soul power to
Spread out and check out their situation.
"Young sect master, why are you so enthusiastic about that surnamed Yuan? In my opinion, there is nothing outstanding about him." He heard Shang Yi ask as soon as he checked. He did not expect that Shang Jian turned out to be a young man.
Sect Master, so I was really shocked again.
"Shang Yi, didn't I tell you? Don't call me Young Master outside, call me Young Master. I've told you so many times and you still haven't remembered it. It's true," Shang Jian said angrily.
"Hey, young master... I was wrong. Isn't this called getting used to it? I've been doing this for nearly twenty years, and it's really not easy to change my mind." Shang Yi said sheepishly.
"Huh, remember, we are traveling with our identity concealed. I don't want to leak our affairs because of your negligence." Shang Jian glared at him and said, but he didn't mean to be angry. It can be seen that the relationship between the two of them is still good.
Yes, although there is a master-servant relationship, it can be seen that Shang Jian does not treat Shang Yi as a servant, which makes Wu Xiangyuan's good impression of Shang Jian increase a lot.
"Well, I must have remembered this time. By the way, Master, you haven't answered me yet," Shang Yi continued to ask.
"I feel very comfortable getting along with him, and I feel that he is very special. Although he looks ordinary, his knowledge is genuine. Don't you think I can chat with him very well?" Shang Jian said excitedly
.
"Well, indeed, the young master has not noticed that the young master is indeed very talkative today. It seems that he really has something outstanding." Shang Yi suddenly realized after hearing Shang Jian's words. However, these words made Wu Xiangyuan
After hearing this, I wanted to beat him up.
"What else is outstanding? He is a real gentleman, very casual in his actions and words, and very open-minded. He is a person worth getting along with." Shang Jian said, and he couldn't help but feel proud after hearing Shang Jian's strength in Wu Xiangyuan.
"That's true, he didn't refuse the young master's invitation, nor was he pretentious, but he didn't feel embarrassed at all," Shang Yi said angrily, as if Wu Xiangyuan knew how to take advantage.
"Why do you look at me like this? It's because he already knows my character. Do you think I will be happy if he rejects me?" Shang Jian asked.
"Of course I will be unhappy. Who is the young master? He is a man who can tell the truth." Shang Yi flattered him.
"So, he is a very extraordinary person. He has figured out my personality just after getting along with me for such a short time. He really understands me. How can we not have a good relationship with such a close friend?" Shang Jian said.
When Wu Xiangyuan heard this, he felt a little bit.
"Oh, I understand, little one," Shang Jian said.
"Who?" At this moment, Shang Jian suddenly stood up and drank. Wu Xiangyuan was so shocked that he immediately withdrew his soul power, thinking that he had been discovered.
However, just when he had just recovered his soul power, he heard the door opposite suddenly being knocked open. Only then did Wu Xiangyuan realize that he was overly concerned. Shang Jian should not have noticed him, but someone.
He was just walking towards him, so he used his soul power to carefully investigate.
"Uncle Fu, what's wrong with you?" Shang Jian shouted anxiously when he saw the man in black who had knocked open his door, because the man in black was actually seriously injured. There was a wound on his back that was more than a foot long and deep enough to show the bone. Moreover, he
He kept vomiting blood.
This man in black, Wu Xiangyuan, knew him as the man who stopped the two men from fighting in the middle of the Wei River during the day. At that time, he felt that this man had a different relationship with Shang Jian, and he was indeed right.
"Young... Young Master, hurry... run, someone is going to chase you, it's the people from the Blood Hall, hurry, run, they are going to chase you soon," the man in black said.
"Uncle's people, how could they do this?" Shang Jian was stunned when he heard what the man in black said.
"It's absolutely true. They said that the leader of the Blood Hall ordered you to be assassinated, and his subordinates heard it, so they were hunted down. Run, Young Master, they are coming." At this moment, shouts came from the distance.
"Then what will you do if I leave? Let's go together," Shang Jian said anxiously.
"Don't worry about me, I have a way to escape. Young sect leader, you go first. Shang Yi, you must protect the young sect leader and take him away quickly, otherwise it will be too late," the man in black said anxiously.
"Sir, let's go, otherwise Commander Fu's injuries will be in vain," Shang Yi said anxiously.
"Okay, let's go." Shang Jian made a difficult decision. "Uncle Fu, you must come to me alive." Then he gritted his teeth and ran for his life. It is definitely not possible to hurt a man in black who is a warrior in the late stage of Qi transformation.
He can afford it.
"Okay," the man in black said happily, and then walked hard outside the inn.
