Chapter 5 Encounter

The next day, after saying goodbye to Xu Mubai and the clown, Qin Yuelou cut through the thorns all the way. It took more than half a day to get out of this "Wangye Mountain" and came to the bottom of the familiar Xiangye Mountain.

Standing at the foot of the mountain, Qin Yuelou looked up at the towering main peak of Xiangye Mountain, his throat choked and was silent.

A year ago, I left my family and escaped the interception of the old man Dongguo before I came here. However, calmness seemed to have nothing to do with him forever. In less than a few months, he witnessed the demise of the Ye family. He treated the master who had no warning and kindness to him like a colorful cloud, faintly dissipated under the cloudy sky.

After experiencing life and death, his heart is now very calm and cold.

This kind of coldness is like a silver needle that sticks to the ribs all the time. The pain warns me to remember everything.

Qin Yuelou did not linger. When he stood half a column of incense, he withdrew his eyes, and his eyes turned cold from the sadness just now. He pushed away the covered branches in front of him, and an arched hillside appeared in front of him. Qin Yuelou had no expression on his face, but he knew that behind the hillside was the edge of Aodong City and the foot of Xiangye Mountain.

At this moment, Qin Yuelou did not know that Xiangye Mountain had been sealed by the Dongfang family. He is now hesitating that if he goes out rashly, he will be found by passers-by and then arouse the vigilance of the Dongfang family.

After thinking for a long time, Qin Yuelou gritted his teeth and jumped to the wall of the hillside with a broad sword and a bag on his back. Then after checking the surrounding environment, he quietly jumped down the hillside, and then walked through a few trees for people to cool down and came to the wide road.

At this moment, the sky has passed noon, and the sun is hanging in the sky, which is the hottest time of the day.

On the road leading to Aodong City, there are not too many pedestrians at this moment. There is no Tom beast riding by the rich, and only a group of faint merchants pass by with carriages. When Qin Yuelou was observing on the hillside just now, he also noticed that there were few pedestrians now, so he dared to run out now.

On his body, he hesitated to walk all the way through the woods or stood with a lot of leaves and soil. He squatted down and patted his trousers and clothes, that is, he recognized the direction, leaned against his memory, and walked in the opposite direction to Ao Dongcheng.

The appearance of Qin Yuelou did not attract the attention of merchants and pedestrians in the past, but several people looked at the person who came out of the woods in surprise, and their eyes did not stop too much. After all, half a year has passed since the affairs of the Ye family. No one would have thought that the remnants of the Ye family are now in front of them and others.

Since there are no Tom beasts and bearded dragon beasts to walk for him, Qin Yuelou estimated that according to his own foot journey, it would take at least a month to return to Tianlong City. However, he doesn't really want to return to Tianlong City now. If he can find out that Xingyue Pavilion did not attack Tianlong City on the way, he has other plans.

Just thinking about the Xulong beast, Qin Yuelou was a little confused. Ye Wen once said that the Xulong beast had two, one male and one female. When he attacked the Ye family in Xingyue Pavilion, why didn't he see the remaining Xulong beast? Or has it been subdued by the Oriental family now?

Now Qin Yuelou has believed what Dongfang Nishang said at the auction. It seems that at that time, the Ye family took out the three-grade "Jade Crystal" for auction, which really expanded its wealth and power. I'm afraid Ye Kongsheng had already expected such a day. However, they had just prepared and had been completely destroyed...

Putting aside these thoughts that disturbed his mind, Qin Yuelou looked at the boundless road and walked against the scorching sun.

"Little brother, do you want to come up and give you a ride?"

A bright voice sounded on the left side of Qin Yuelou. Qin Yuelou had just noticed that a carriage pulling goods was driving up from behind. At this moment, he turned his head and saw an old man in a brown robe sitting on the frame behind the carriage. At this moment, Qin Yuelou turned his head, and the old man just smiled at him. Rong.

The old man's body is not high, and there is a shaky smell between his eyebrows. Qin Yuelou felt it and found that there was no star battle power fluctuation on the old man's body. Obviously, he was just a merchant who transported goods, not a star warrior.

However, Qin Yuelou was cautious and refused to strangers, "Thank you for your kindness. I'd better walk by myself."

"Oh, there is a hot sun above my head, and there is a person to talk all the way. The little brother won't dislike me as a bad old man." The old man did not lead the horse forward because of Qin Yuelou's indifference. Instead, he slowed down, smiled and said, "Where are you going, little brother? Did you just come out of Aodong City?

Qin Yuelou nodded and did not answer. The old man saw that Qin Yuelou was not enthusiastic, but he didn't care and said to himself. Qin Yuelou listened as he walked. The old man's speed was consistent with that of Qin Yuelou. Qin Yuelou looked at the old man's goods, most of which were flour in sacks, which should have been transported from Aodong City to a small city for sale.

However, because the Qin Yuelou family is also in business, he also knows that the profits of such hawkers are not too high, and they don't look like rich businessmen.

"Hey, you said that this world has changed no matter how you say it. Now the entrance fee of Aodong City has increased a lot more than before. How can we, we small hawkers?" After walking for a while, the old man seemed to be a little thirsty. He took out a kettle and took a sip and complained, "by the way, little brother, do you want to take a sip?"

After listening to the old man's words, Qin Yuelou's heart moved, shook his head and refused the old man's kindness. Then he asked quietly, "Has the entrance fee doubled? Senior, what's going on?

"Little brother, listen to your accent, it's not a person from Aodongcheng. It seems that he has just come out of the family to practice." The old man smiled. He was a merchant and had seen a lot of people. Therefore, when he saw Qin Yuelou's cautious appearance, he could see the "reintroof" of Qin Yuelou at a glance.

He sighed and said, "You should also know about the recent events in the east. Aodong City, as the largest city in the east, was originally under the control of the Ye family, but overnight, it has become the territory of the Oriental family. Well, these things originally had nothing to do with us, but after the Oriental family exempted the taxes of those large chambers of commerce, we small vendors were unlucky. Now not only the entrance fee is much higher, but the price of the goods has also been added. I haven't seen it for a long time, and I will change my business.

The old man complained about his grief. Qin Yuelou listened for a while and interrupted, "Senior, so you say that the Oriental family has completely taken root in Aodong City? No wonder I didn't see the hawkers who used to set up stalls on the streets of the city just now.

For Qin Yuelou's tentative words, the old man didn't think much, but nodded and sighed silently, "Business is not easy now. If it weren't for my granddaughter's tuition, I wouldn't have to work like this. The Oriental family is now collecting money and collecting people's hearts in disguise. After all, this is not their original territory."

Qin Yuelou thought for a while and secretly said that it was impossible to find any useful information from the old man's mouth, so he inadvertently asked, "Senior, where are you going now?"

"Dorui City." A kind smile appeared on the old man's face, "I've been working in Aodong City for a month, and now I'm going back to see my granddaughter." Speaking of his granddaughter, the old man's face was gratified.

"How far is it?"

"I can probably arrive before dark. I don't think my little brother has been there. It's just a second-class city." The old man saw that Qin Yuelou was extraordinary and thought that he was a child of the big family who had experience, so he invited him and said, "Go to my place to sit down."

Qin Yuelou thought about it and felt that there was not much distance in half a day, and in the secondary city, he should be able to get some news about the Eastern family recently, so he also smiled and said to the old man, "Thank you, senior. Sorry to bother you."

"Hehe, don't be polite to me!" The old man smiled, grabbed the horse, and said to Qin Yuelou, "Call me Mr. Meng. My little brother and I are still in love. That's what people I know!"

Qin Yuelou climbed into the carriage, sat at the front of the carriage with the old man, and said, "Mr. Meng, I'm not satisfied with you that it's the first time I left the family. I just arrived in Aodong City a few days ago. Tell me about what happened recently."

"Good!" Mr. Meng was quite talkative and did not doubt Qin Yuelou's words. When he opened the chat, he began to speak.
