Chapter 689: Can't Enter Xiushan County?

found very reasonable: in a person's life, the most impossible thing to find is regret. Once you choose to let go, wanting to chase it back later is mostly impossible.For Nightbloom, that's just the w...Ye Wenyan leaned forward and stared at Feng Zhaolian's notebook for a while, "What is this" Feng Zhaolian smirked, "Weather forecast" 。Before I left the palace, I asked Yunchen for a prediction. He predicted the weather for the next month and particularly focused on the Xiu Shan County area. 。Ayan, there will be rain for the next month, which is different from the conclusion he got from astrology before. Yunchen also doesn't know what's going on, but there's a vague feeling that something is not right. 。She passed the notebook to Ye Wenyan. It was indeed a month’s worth, every day recorded with rain 。Perhaps this rain is just ordinary to mortals. Even if it rains for a whole month, it's just continuous rain. At most, it could cause flooding if it gets heavier and requires flood control. 。But for cultivators, this rain was too much of a nuisance. 。"I have a hunch that within six months, the boundless sea will definitely undergo some changes." 。"Ye Wen pressed his voice low. "I hope my premonition is wrong, but if it comes true, Feng Zhaolian, I hope you don't go to the beach with us." 。“Why not let me go” Feng Zhaolian immediately shook her head, “No, I must go. Even if you don’t take me, I will go myself.” 。"Ayan, you have something to do in Wu'an Hai, and I also have something to do in Wu'an Hai." 。Someone is waiting for me, and I have someone waiting for me too. 。I have never hid anything from you, and I don't expect you to know everything about me either. All I hope is that you won't stop me from doing what I want to do. 。We are, in a way, all the same people, so you should be able to understand my feelings. 。Though I've grown up in this life, memories of my past life run deep. In my heart, I will always be a Thousand Zhou person. As long as I hold onto this desire, it will be difficult for me to fully immerse myself in this life. 。So, Ayan, I hope you can help me with this obsession of mine. 。"

Ye Wen sighed helplessly, “Forget it, if you want to follow, just follow. I will do my best to keep you safe.”

But there are some things I also need to tell you beforehand, just as a heads-up. 。While the ever-changing nature of the boundless sea is our speculation, it is highly probable. 。Amman Sea has islands sinking, this is also a kind of change. 。No one knows what the next shift will be like, but it is certain that it will be very dangerous. 。So I can only do my best to keep you safe, but I can't guarantee your safety. 。"Do you understand" "Understand..." 。"Feng Zhaolian nodded, “Don't worry, life and death are determined by fate. As someone who has already died once, I understand this better than anyone.” 。Once we reach the shores of the boundless sea, just do your own things. I won't cause you any trouble and don't need you to look after me too much. Once an irreversible danger arises, I will retreat immediately and never recklessly charge headlong into it. 。The carriage traveled for five days through wind and rain, wading through muddy roads. By the time it reached Xiushan County, its horse legs and body were covered in mud. 。They arrived in the late afternoon, just as the sun was about to set. 。 Xiu Shan County was originally just a county town, but decades ago, the daughter of the Jiang family married into a high-ranking general's mansion, and there was also a life-saving grace between the two families. As a result, the status of the Jiang family in Xiu Shan County rose rapidly. Gradually, even Xiu Shan County itself became a city, with city gates built and more soldiers stationed to guard it. Even the land area was expanded by a portion. However, this city looked rather deserted. At least when their carriage reached the city gate, although the gate hadn't closed yet, besides the two guards on duty, they didn't see any other pedestrians coming and going. 。Yun Xiao hurried in his carriage a few steps forward, quickly stopped by the soldiers, "What are you doing Why enter the city" Inside the carriage, Ye Wenyan all laughed, “You really took Xiushan as a city Hey, you guys, Xiushan County expanded its territory. Did the court know about this Since they call their own county a city, what should the local officials be called” Feng Zhaolian thought for a moment: "City Lord" Ye Wenyan shook his head, “There is no such title as City Lord in Beiji. The county-level officials are called Zhixian, and if it's at the city level, then it's called Zhizhu." 。"We don't call ourselves city lords, "lord" is a term used by the country. For example, in a country like Suyuan, they would call the leader of a city a city lord." 。I understand what you mean. You're wondering if the magistrate of Xiushan County promoted himself. 。“

There was another voice outside, it was Yun Xiao answering the official’s words: “We are just passing through and plan to stay overnight in Xiushan.”

"

"Stay overnight in Xiushan" The official hesitated, then added, "Or perhaps take the detour. Although it's getting late and almost dark, staying out in the open is better than staying in Xiushan." 。We meant well, seeing your fine carriage, we thought you were a wealthy family. Wealthy families are precious, don't get caught up in Xiushan City. 。"As for Xiu Shan City, at this hour, there's no need to distinguish between inside and outside the city walls. This is just Xiu Shan County..." 。"Yes, Xiushan County. You'd better stay away from Xiushan County. Leave quickly, we are going to close the city gates." 。“Why It must be safe in the city at this late hour! Taking a detour means we either have to walk at night or stay overnight in the mountains. It’s raining heavily too, that's not an option, it's far too dangerous.” 。"Why don't you listen to me Staying in the mountains is better than coming into town. The city is not peaceful, people die there!"Feng Zhaolian poked her head out of the carriage and asked the soldier, "What do you mean not peaceful Are there ghosts in the city" The officer glanced at her, stunned for a moment. He probably didn't expect that such a beautiful girl would suddenly pop her head out to speak, so much so that he forgot how to answer as he stared at Feng Zhaolian. 。Yun Xiao frowned, reached out and pressed against Feng Zhaolian's forehead, pushing her back with a hand. "Look, why are you so restless" The officer saw the pretty girl return to the carriage, only then did he come back to his senses, rolled his eyes at Yun Xiao fiercely, before saying: "Since you insist on asking, then I'll tell you, it's not exactly a secret anyway, it'll be known sooner or later..." 。Our village, Xiushan, has had people dying every night recently. It's been going on for over ten nights now. At first, it was one death per night, then two, and last night there were four. 。The person was obviously murdered, beheaded directly. The government has been investigating, but not only have they failed to find the culprit, several officials have also died. 。Right now people are panicking. After the evening, even during daylight hours, very few people leave their homes. 。Alright, if you insist on entering the city, I won't stop you. Once inside, find an inn to stay at immediately. Don't light lamps, and don't sleep too deeply at night. 。"Wait until tomorrow morning and leave immediately, stay for one day less if you can. Do you understand" Yun Xiao nodded. "Understood, thank you, brother. We'll go into the city right now." 。"By the way, didn't you report this to your superiors" "I did." 。The soldiers have already asked for help from the magistrate of Jinzhou Prefecture, but even the fastest officials from Jinzhou won't arrive until tomorrow. 。Yun Xiao didn't say anything more, hurried into the city in a carriage. The two soldiers also stopped guarding the city gate and rushed into the city. They shouted from afar: "Hurry to find an inn!"Feng Zhaolian: "The people of Xiushan County are quite enthusiastic" 。"I think it might be because you just showed a side of yourself, that passion was directed at you. " 。"Well, it seems like having a good-looking face is actually useful after all." 。"Oh, Ayan, what should we do now Should we look for an inn" Ye Wenyan shook his head. "No inns, let's go straight to the Jiang family and ask for shelter." 。“That’s done. I lifted the curtain and said to Yunxiao, ‘If we happen to meet someone, ask them how to get to Jiang Mansion. Everyone around here should know the way.’” 。After the curtains were drawn, she glanced at Shi Linyuan and Feng Zhaolian, shaking her head. “You two, why don’t you change your clothes Both of you are wearing red, it’s too eye-catching.” 。"

Shi Li Yuan glanced at his attire. "How is it I think it's quite good, besides, I've always only worn red, so I'm used to it " 。“I think red is pretty good too. I only wear red.” 。So you're saying I have to wear matching couple outfits in front of you If that's the case, then I might as well just be extra. I could just go out and carpool with Yun Xiao instead. 。She glared fiercely at Shi Liyuan, who shivered immediately and realized the situation. Without a word, he raised his hand to pinch a seal, conjuring a changing clothes spell. In an instant, his clothes turned white. 。The rain suppressing spell was being suppressed more and more severely, but even with just this one spell he was using it with great difficulty. 。Ye Wen also saw his reluctance, and an even greater unease filled her heart. 。Don't worry, I have someone I like. I won't steal your man. 。“Feng Zhaolian smiled and hooked her shoulder onto Ye Wenyan’s, “A-Yan, don’t bottle up your emotions too much. No matter what happens, we face it together, it’s nothing big.” 。I've lived two lifetimes, seen every major event imaginable. A mere boundless sea It can hardly faze me. 。"Night Wenyan chuckled wryly. A mere boundless sea If it were truly just a mere boundless sea, then the Xuanmai Night Clan wouldn't have spent millennia protecting it." 。Even though Feng Zhaolian is right, she has lived two lifetimes and has seen all sorts of storms and waves, so she shouldn't be so depressed. 。The carriage drove on for a while longer, and gradually came to a stop. Feng Zhaolian thought they had arrived at the Jiang Mansion and was about to get off, but Yun Xiao said, "Don't get off just yet. We haven't found out where the Jiang Mansion is at all. Because there wasn't a single person on the road, and all the shops were closed." 。" If it's Fong Zhaolian, just go to any random house and knock. You can't just knock and not let anyone in, or it would be like a dead city. " 。Yun Xiao: “Alright, you guys stay in the car for a bit. I’ll go take a look.” 。"After some thought, Ye Wenyan spoke up, “Let’s go down together! With me and Feng Zhaolian here, the people who get knocked on the door won’t be too scared.” 。If you're just a man, chances are no one will open the door for you in this situation. 。“

Feng Zhaolian also felt that this made sense, so she stood up, put on her rain cloak, and led the way out of the carriage 。 Ye Wen and Shi Li followed behind her. She saw that when Feng Zhaolian got out of the car, Yun Xiao helped her with a hand, and even thoughtfully helped her lift her skirt. The movement was surprisingly natural...ng to Xiangdong outside the door, and Ji Mamá also came back. The two of them listened to Zhu'er talk about what happened these days in the outer city, and from time to time Xiangdong would ask a few...
