Chapter 23 Investigation
Bai Yuqing stayed in Zhang Ziyu's Zhang Mansion for several days, and then set off to return to the sect to submit the task. She had carefully checked the entire Zhang Mansion that there was indeed no breath of a magical monk.
However, just the day before Bai Yuqing was about to return to the sect, some strange things happened again in Jingzhou. However, this time it was no longer the Zhang Mansion, which was in real power, but the Prince Mansion, which was still noble on the surface. Just yesterday, the King of Linjiang in Jiangling City had a strange disease and had no medical treatment for medicine.
Yesterday, he arrested all the famous doctors in Jiangling City at one time, but it turned out that the Linjiang King's pulse was not sick at all. Such a strange thing, coupled with the information about the Jingzhou area, there are many demon cultivators appearing in Jiangling City, especially in Jiangling City today. Although Linjiang King has no power, he is a royal family on earth after all. If something happens there, it may be a little trouble. Moreover, the Ten Thousand Sword Art has gained a little, and Bai Yuqing is still thinking of taking a few demon cultivators to sacrifice his swords.
"Uh Bai...Sister Bai, although this small remnant of the Demonic Dao has been eliminated, there are probably still many other remnants, wandering around and maybe they will emerge again. I am worried that there will be other demonic monks who come to Zhang Mansion to cause trouble again. Why not, you stay in Zhang Mansion with me for a period of time, as short as half a month, as long as two or three months. After the devil's realm in Jingzhou completely disappears, we will..."
Zhang Ziyu said nervously. He didn't want this big backer to leave now. He even secretly scolded himself for being inferior to a woman. After several months of searching for immortals, he was not as good as a woman. He couldn't help but feel a little ashamed on his face.
"It's okay, there are no demonic people in the Zhang family. I only went to Linjiang Prince's Mansion to observe for a few days, and they are all in Jiangling City. If there are any demon cultivators who blatantly commit crimes, I can also feel it! And you should stay at home for a few more days first. I see that Mr. Zhang must have missed his family very much for many days. It's better to talk about the past more!"
Zhang Ziyu looked at Bai Yuqing's charming face and showed a faint smile. He was already scolding in his heart.
If I know the magical arts, would I be afraid of these magical monks?
And do I miss my family? I’m so scared of death!
No one can guarantee that the demon cultivators will not continue to mingle into the Zhang Mansion. Just hearing the senior brothers of the sect say that those demon cultivators are all a group of murderous demons, Zhang Ziyu kept beating in her heart.
"Young Master Zhang doesn't want to?"
Bai Yuqing thought for a while, blinked her playful eyelids and smiled.
I was actually a little worried when I left like this, and I was worried that other demon cultivators would come to me. But I thought I had just killed the demon cultivator. Even if the demon cultivator reacted, I would not take action immediately. As for Zhang Ziyu, let the rich family suffer. Who made the Zhang family look arrogant before? It seems that everyone owed him hundreds of taels of silver.
"No...will!"
"Yes!" Zhang Ziyu's body froze and hurriedly smiled: "How could I not be willing!"
Although he was extremely reluctant in his heart, he couldn't help but shrink his neck when he saw Bai Yuqing's strange smile. Maybe if he didn't agree just now, the woman would have wiped his neck with a sword.
I thought I was the first time I saw the delicate woman I had before I became a disciple on the mountain? Why is the contrast between the front and back so big?
Zhang Ziyu was puzzled, but Bai Yuqing left Zhang Mansion alone, and along the way, Fengchi Dianzhi rushed to Linjiang Prince's Mansion.
Although the Linjiang Palace is also in Jiangling City, it is in the suburbs outside Jiangling City. It is said to be a very beautiful place. It spends huge amounts of money to build a prince's mansion that is nearly one-fifth of the size.
...
Half a day later.
Bai Yuqing did not use his sword, but borrowed a horse from the Zhang Mansion to enjoy the scenery along the way, but most of the refugees who saw along the way were refugees from other places.
Now, there are chaos, wars break out in all parts of the Central Plains, and many fertile land is abandoned. Fortunately, the Jingzhou area is still peaceful under the rule of Lord Zhang. However, in the long run, the war will sooner or later burn here.
After passing through the relatively prosperous Jiangling City, Bai Yuqing finally arrived at a beautiful and magnificent Linjiang Palace ten miles outside Jiangling City.
This Linjiang Palace not only covers a very wide area and has a very beautiful scenery, but also occupies a shipping line. It is also very convenient to provide daily necessities of the royal palace. Along the way, there are several or dozens of merchant ships and canal ships passing through the Linjiang Palace and traveling to and from Central China along the river.
Linjiang Palace is built along the river. The blue waves on the riverside are everywhere, and weeping willows are shining, and the scenery is beautiful and magnificent.
The palace is magnificent and grand, with huge interiors. The wide roads are paved with large pieces of bluestone, and the roads are well-connected. Luxury carriages driven by eight horses can be driven by luxury horses and galloping from the main road.
Bai Yuqing arrived at the Linjiang Palace and was shocked when she saw the momentum of this residence. Jiangling City is also a prosperous water transport hub in Jingzhou, but this residence is as spectacular as a small city, and many places are even more magnificent than Jiangling City.
There are tens of thousands of servants in the Linjiang Palace, but there are more than tens of thousands of people living along the way. On both sides of the main road are a wide range of shops selling various expensive gold, silver jewelry, rouge, powder, and silk cloth, which looks like a town. If it weren't for being told, Bai Yuqing would even think that this was another city.
There are also many romantic and talented men, beautiful women, and wealthy customers supported by the princes. There are also many merchants and vendors who come here to operate. Over time, the entire Linjiang Palace has become very prosperous. On the main road, there are talented men and beautiful women shopping and taking a quick look. The crowds are followed by bustling crowds everywhere.
Although Bai Yuqing has never been to the capital of this world, Bai Yuqing feels that although the prosperity here may not be as good as the capital, it is not far from that.
Looking at the refugees who could be seen everywhere in Jiangling City before, and then looking at the place where there was extravagance. If there was no chaos in the world, it would be a ghost.
The real location of the Linjiang Palace at the innermost part here is naturally the carved railings and jade buildings, which are magnificent and very grand.
But then again, although the Linjiang King is noble, he has no title and no real power. He is just a prince with a very high status.
Jiangling City is under the jurisdiction of Prefect Zhang, and officials are responsible for local government affairs. Here, there are also prince’s aides and Jiangling officials are responsible for it.
Unless one day the real change of ownership in the capital city or the war in the Central Plains burns here, the Linjiang King will be a happy prince in his life.
...
Bai Yuqing watched for a while outside, and then entered the town built on the Linjiang Palace.
In this most prosperous area, a teahouse not far from Linjiang Palace, lit a cup of fragrant tea, savored the light-scented tea, watched the grand occasion of Linjiang Palace and the movements around.
This place lasts three or four hours.
Bai Yuqing was quite surprised.
In just a few hours, Bai Yuqing saw several cultivators of different sects with different cultivation levels, and hurriedly entered and exited the prince's mansion. These people should have come to the prince's mansion to investigate, but their cultivation level is not high, and most of them are at the level of qi training.
It's just that they can't tell their identities and origins.
Bai Yuqing couldn't help but frowned. This undoubtedly increased the difficulty for her to find out the magical monks in the Linjiang Palace.
