Chapter 250 Linjiang City

Wuzhou, Linjiang Prefecture.

In the evening, the sunset glows brilliantly, the autumn wind is bleak, and dead leaves are drifting in the wind.

Several horses galloped on the official road and soon overtook a man and a woman who were resting in a roadside tea stall ahead.

The man was heroic and the woman was cool and beautiful. They were Fang Xun and Yu Jiaolong.

At this time, five days had passed since they set out again, and they had already entered deep into the territory of Wuzhou.

But ever since she had a sudden impulse five days ago, Yu Jiaolong has been as gloomy as water, her face has never relaxed, and her heart is full of worries.

Fang Xun sighed when he saw her like this, and could only speak to comfort her.

"Zhao Ning, those are just my guesses. Your father is a lucky man, and he will be fine."

Wan Zhaoning is Yu Jiaolong's real name. The two of them have become friends during this journey. Fang Xun no longer calls her "Commander-in-Chief" when talking to her, but calls her by her real name directly.

Yu Jiaolong was distracted and could only force a smile and said, "I hope so. Ever since I had this sudden inspiration five days ago, I have always felt empty and uneasy inside."

Five days ago, she suddenly felt a sudden palpitation and heartache. Yu Jiaolong did not dare to think too much about it. She could only try her best to control herself from thinking about the King of Yue.

But his steps never stopped, and every step seemed to shorten the distance to four or five meters.

After the two men lost their horses, they were able to walk much faster just on foot.

In five days, they traveled about ten thousand miles and arrived at the border of Linjiang Prefecture in Wuzhou. After walking another three thousand miles, they would reach Jianye City.

It just consumes a lot of physical strength and true energy, so you have to stop to rest and recover from time to time.

"drive--"

At this time, another shout was heard on the official road, accompanied by a burst of hurried horse hoof sounds coming from far away, and in the blink of an eye, several horses galloped past.

Fang Xun took a quick glance and found that they were all experts. They all looked tired and their clothes made them look like veterans who had been in the world for a long time.

He couldn't help but frowned: "This is the 23rd wave, all of them are heading to Linjiang City. Something seems to be happening there."

Yu Jiaolong just said absentmindedly: "Don't pay attention to them, let's go too!"

As she spoke, she stood up and walked towards the official road, ready to continue on her journey.

Fang Xun sighed and stopped thinking about Linjiang City. He left a dozen copper coins on the table and set out on the official road with Yu Jiaolong to continue his journey.

The two of them were silent along the way. The sun set and the moon rose again. Before they knew it, a night had passed. When a hint of dawn appeared in the sky, Fang Xun suddenly spoke.

"Wait a moment!"

The two people who were flying on the official road suddenly stopped at the same time. Yu Jiaolong looked at him with a questioning look.

Fang Xun frowned and said, "I smell the scent of Baili Soul Chasing Incense!"

The effect of Baili Soul-Chasing Incense lasts about a month, and he didn't expect to meet the man in black again in Wuzhou.

Yu Jiaolong's eyes narrowed. "We are now about a hundred miles away from Linjiang City. We are in Linjiang City. Let's go quickly and don't let him get away!"

"No," Fang Xun objected, "Business is more important. You go back to the palace first, and let me go find the man in black. He definitely didn't appear in Linjiang City for no reason. He must be looking for your nine-year-old nephew!"

"but."

Yu Jiaolong was stunned for a moment and wanted to say something but was interrupted by Fang Xun.

"Listen to me, you must rush back to the palace as soon as possible and ask your elders about the black token.

I will follow the man in black to see if I can find your eldest brother's only son. That's it!"

The unquestionable tone made Yu Jiaolong stunned for a while. After a while, she gritted her teeth and took out a palm-sized gold medal from her body and said.

"This is my identity token. Take it and do as you see fit. Be careful on this trip. If anything goes wrong, you can come to the palace to find me at any time!"

"The situation inside the palace is very treacherous, so you must be careful when you go there!" The two soon parted ways. Yu Jiaolong continued to rush towards Jianye City, while he headed towards Linjiang City.

Fang Xun used his Qing Kung Fu to walk quickly along the official road, and the scenery on both sides flew rapidly backwards.

On the way, he also saw martial artists on the official road rushing towards Linjiang City one after another.

Among them, there are only a few experts who have opened their minds, and most of them are warriors who have opened their meridians. Some acquired warriors also join in the fun.

Combined with what he had seen and heard since entering Linjiang Prefecture, Fang Xun became more and more confused.

"Why are so many people heading to Linjiang City all at once?"

The journey of less than a hundred miles took Fang Xun just over two quarters of an hour.

Gradually, the outline of a towering city in the distance came into his sight.

Five miles away, Fang's speed gradually slowed down. Looking at the Linjiang City right in front of him, he sneered in his heart.

"That person is indeed in the city!"

He slowed down his pace, and the muscles on his cheeks moved, and in an instant his face became another one.

Fang Xun blended quietly into the crowd on the official road without attracting anyone's attention.

As he gradually approached Linjiang City, he found that the city gate was extremely deserted.

Fang Xun saw hundreds of fierce-looking black-armored soldiers standing at the city gate, setting up a checkpoint.

All the passers-by were martial artists; there were no caravans or ordinary people.

Outside the city, martial artists one after another were allowed into the city after just routine identity checks.

However, fewer people were leaving the city. Everyone was allowed to leave the city only after undergoing a thorough body search and being checked for any problems.

"I didn't expect so many talented people to come to Linjiang City. Do we have a share of this overwhelming wealth?"

"Looking for someone doesn't rely on strength, it relies on brains and luck. Sigh, how could such a thing happen in the Prince of Yue's Mansion?"

"It's really a turbulent time. The masters that were rarely seen in Wuzhou in the past are now gathering in Linjiang City."

"Haha, the young master of the Prince of Yue's Palace is made of gold. Who wouldn't be tempted by a master's secret technique?"

"We have to hurry up. If we find him and escort him to the government, we can get a master's secret skill!"

The whispers in the crowd all entered Fang Xun's ears.

Soon, he understood what had happened in Linjiang City.

Nine days ago, an enlightened warrior brought a child into Linjiang City, who was suspected to be the young master of the Prince of Yue's Palace. The gatekeepers did not notice anything wrong when they entered the city.

But less than three hours after the people entered the city, the Linjiang government office received a message from the Jianye Palace, causing a sensation in the whole city.

At this time, the prefect received a report from the soldiers guarding the city, and immediately ordered checkpoints to be set up at the city gates, allowing easy entry and strict exit, and to check for all suspicious persons, especially children under the age of ten.

If it was just a martial artist who had gained enlightenment, there was still a possibility that he could sneak out of the city.

But with a nine-year-old child, who had been raised in luxury, it was basically impossible for him to get out without alerting others.

This incident basically caused a sensation in the entire Wuzhou. Both the Prince of Yue's Mansion and the government issued an enviable reward. Anyone who found the young master and reported his whereabouts would be rewarded handsomely.

Obviously, the Prince of Yue's Mansion was also anxious. Although Yu Jiaolong's elder brother led his troops to rebel, the child must not be left outside.

After listening for a while, Fang Xun roughly understood the situation and breathed a sigh of relief.

After a while, he passed the inspection of the soldiers at the city gate and entered the city.

Fang Xun not only has to find Yu Jiaolong's nephew, but also has to deal with the black-clad master.
"Fortunately, we have confirmed that the person is in Linjiang City. The enemy is in the open while we are in the dark. Otherwise, it would be really troublesome."
