Chapter 337 Entering Dongling City
Dongling City.

At the city gate.

To enter Dongling City, all vehicles and horses must be inspected by the city gate guards, and all people must get off the vehicles and walk into the city.

This is the rule of Dongling City, and it is also the rule of all major cities.

At this time, all the members of the Su family caravan got off the carriage, moved slowly forward with the carriage, and were inspected by the city gate guards.

In front of the caravan.

The eldest daughter of the Su family, the owner of the caravan, looked at the queue in front and couldn't help but frowned.

She didn't expect that the weather had just warmed up, and there were so many caravans and troops entering Dongling City.

The smell of the crowd around her, coupled with the harsh winter sun shining down on her head, made her feel irritated.

Then she glanced at Liu Guangqi beside her.

"Old Liu!"

"Miss, my subordinate is here."

"Old Liu, I have to say a few words to you. Don't be too kind-hearted when you go out!" While speaking, the eldest daughter of the Su family glanced at the back of the caravan.

But because her vision was blocked, she saw nothing.

When Liu Guangqi saw the look in his young lady's eyes, he immediately understood who she was referring to.

Liu Guangqi did not expect that his young lady would bring up this matter at this time. He immediately bowed his head and smiled apologetically.

"Miss, it's my subordinate's problem."

"Yes!" The eldest daughter of the Su family nodded: "I'm glad to know, because you were so kind that our caravan had to pay dozens of taels of silver to pass through Shuangyang Mountain."

She took advantage of the time in the queue to enter the city to hit Liu Guangqi again.

Then he continued: "But considering your contributions over the years, let's let this matter go! This won't happen again!"

"Yes, Miss!" Liu Guangqi continued to nod and bow.

Seeing this scene, the eldest daughter of the Su family suddenly felt that she had gone too far.

So he added another sentence.

"Old Liu, I'm not targeting you. The competition in the clan is very critical now. I need a large sum of money to invite a strong man to be my guest official and take charge of my office. Not a penny can be wasted casually!"

"Miss, I understand!" Liu Guangqi smiled with understanding.

"I understand!" The eldest daughter of the Su family nodded, and the annoyance in her heart suddenly eased a lot.

After a while.

"Those who are entering the city ahead, come quickly!"

"Yes! Sir!" Hearing the exchange of city guards, Liu Guangqi immediately responded at the signal of the Su family's eldest daughter.

Afterwards, with Liu Guangqi's rich experience in traveling around, the inspection of the caravan was orderly, and the entire caravan was inspected one by one and allowed to enter the city.

Soon.

The caravan was halfway through.

At this time, Jiang Ning and others also got off the carriage.

Waiting for inspection before entering the city.

After another caravan's carriage passed into the city, the back half of the caravan came into view and the vision suddenly became good.

Just now.

Two inspectors wearing black, gold and white robes who had been waiting at the city gate for a long time suddenly fixed their eyes and looked ahead.

"Brother Xu, Brother Xu, look and see if this is Jiang Ning!" One of the men repeatedly hit the arm of the man next to him with his elbow.

Hear this.

The man on the other side immediately looked in the direction of the voice. When he saw Jiang Ning, his eyes met Jiang Ning's.

His eyes suddenly focused: "It's him! This person is Jiang Ning!"

"Brother Xu!" The man looked impatient and quickly used his elbow to nudge the man next to him: "Let's go, let's go!! We can finally be free!!"

The actions of the two people immediately caused quite a stir at the city gate.

After all, this exclusive uniform of the Inspectorate can be recognized by anyone with a little bit of vision nowadays.

These two people are from the Inspection Office.

Today, the Inspection Offices are spread across counties and prefectures. It can be said that there is an Inspection Office stationed in every county town.

After nearly half a year of fermentation, everyone knows that the Inspection Office is the new upstart of Daxia today, and its momentum is at its peak.

When seeing the personnel from the Inspection Office, everyone must step back.

Once you offend them, they will charge you with rebellion and you will have no way to seek justice.

Because they have the privilege of executing first and reporting later, the dead cannot speak, so how can they defend themselves?
As the two men left the city gate.

Everyone's eyes were focused at the city gate.

The soldiers guarding the city gate also stopped checking the passing vehicles and looked over curiously.

They saw the arrival of these two inspection officers from the Inspection Office yesterday.

They had also been talking secretly, discussing why the inspection personnel came to the city gate.
The fact that the two inspection officers waited at the city gate until it was closed yesterday before leaving made them extremely curious.

It was not until this morning that they found out that the two inspectors were waiting for an important outsider.

At least in the eyes of these people, he is a big shot.

So when they saw the two inspection officers moving, they all looked over with great curiosity.

What kind of important person would be worthy of two inspection officers waiting at the city gate a day in advance and waiting for a whole day before they finally saw him?

Under the gaze of the crowd, two people from the Inspection Office walked straight towards Jiangning.

Jiang Ning had already noticed the two people walking over.

A hint of curiosity suddenly flashed in his eyes.

His current official identity, as registered within the Inspection Office, was only that of an eighth-rank official.

An eighth-rank official is still considered a high-ranking official in Luoshui County.

But in Dongling City, it can only be described as ordinary.

In the county seat of Dongling County, anyone who randomly kicked someone off the street might hold an official position no lower than his.

The eighth rank is not even a minor official.

How could I have deserved the Inspectorate to send someone to greet me at the city gate?

And this was without any notification or confirmation of arrival from myself.

How long will it take to wait for me to arrive?

With curiosity in his eyes, he watched the two people walk straight up to him.

"I've met Mr. Jiang!"

"I've met Mr. Jiang!"

The two of them immediately bowed to each other.

Seeing this, Jiang Ning also completely understood that these two people came for him and had been waiting for him at the city gate early.

the other side.

When Liu Guangqi saw this scene, his eyes widened.

"Isn't he Jiang Xiucai?!"

"Why do these two adults call him sir?!"

The eldest daughter of the Su family next to him also had a dazed look in her eyes at this moment.

"Old Liu, didn't you say he was just a scholar from a relatively wealthy family?"

"Yes!" Liu Guangqi said blankly as he looked at the people talking in front of him.

At this moment he could clearly see that the two men were very respectful to Jiang Ning.

Just like how respectful one is to his own master.

"So what's going on?" asked the Su family's eldest daughter.

"I don't know either!" Liu Guangqi was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.

"Lao Liu, didn't you have a good relationship with him before?"

"It's just a chance acquaintance at best. How can it be called a good relationship?" Liu Guangqi laughed at himself.

Seeing the two inspection officers' respectful attitude towards Jiang Ning, he knew that his previous actions were unnecessary.

You know, the weakest staff member in the Inspection Office is a martial artist of the entry level.

How could he be just an ordinary scholar if he could make them so respectful?
He must have very high martial arts skills.

"Old Liu, why didn't I make good friends with him before?" At this time, the eldest daughter of the Su family looked at the scene at the city gate in front of her, with regret in her eyes.

She continued, "If I make friends with him, with his status that makes the Dongling City Patrol Office staff so respectful, he will definitely help me win over others in the family struggle."

When Liu Guangqi heard this, he remembered what his young lady had just said to him and fell silent.

the other side.

After a brief conversation with the two inspection officers from Dongling City, he also knew the purpose of their visit.

That was the Dongling City that Hong Minghu notified.

The reason why Hong Minghu notified the Inspection Office of Dongling City was to ask them to find him and convey the message.

This was because a major event happened in Luoshui County that was closely related to him.

Wang Jin was in an accident and was seriously injured with many broken bones.

Normally, this kind of injury would basically render one useless. "Thank you, colleagues, for the notice!" Jiang Ning took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and bowed.

"Master Jiang, you are too polite!" The leader bowed and continued, "The message has been delivered. I will report back right away!"

"Okay! Take care, both of you!"

Watching the two people walking away.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Hurry over!" The soldiers guarding the city gate stopped checking the vehicles in front of Jiangning and were too lazy to collect the entrance fee. Instead, they asked them to go in quickly and not block the way at the city gate.

at the same time.

"Brother!" Jiang Li, who was beside Jiang Ning, spoke immediately.

He had just listened to the entire conversation between Jiang Ning and the two inspection officers, and he also knew what had happened in Luoshui County.

"Brother, what's wrong?" Jiang Ning asked.

"Brother, are we going back now?" Jiang Li asked.

"There's no need to go back!" Jiang Ning shook his head indifferently.

Then he looked towards the city gate and saw that all the vehicles in front had entered the city.

"Let's go into the city first!" he said again.

"Okay!" Jiang Li nodded, and then he asked, "Brother, but what about your master?"

"I'll settle you down first, and then I'll go back by myself! With my strength, it won't take me long to go back by myself."

Hearing this, Jiang Li looked at Jiang Ning in shock.

He was very clear about how long it took him to walk all the way from Luoshui County.

Although the carriage was slow, it still took five days.

The five-day journey, however, only took a few hours according to my younger brother.

"What is the strength of my brother?" This thought flashed through Jiang Li's mind.

Then he nodded slowly: "Okay, I'll follow A-di's arrangements."

And at this time.

Even though all the carriages in front of Jiangning had entered the city, and there was a wide space in front and there were still carriages queuing behind them, the soldiers guarding the city gate did not dare to urge them at all.

They had just seen with their own eyes how the two inspectors treated the young man.

They knew even more clearly that the two inspectors had been waiting for this young man at the city gate for a long time, one day in advance.

I waited for nearly a whole day before Jiang Ning showed up.

How dare they offend such a big man when they have made such a big fuss?

"Let's go into the city!" Jiang Ning said, looking at the wide road ahead.

"Okay!" Jiang Li nodded immediately.

immediately.

Two carriages passed through the thick city wall.

Walking on the road, Jiang Ning fell into deep thought.

It was beyond his expectation that something happened to Wang Jin.

He didn't expect that Yu Manyun arrived in Luoshui County right after he left.

His guess that the woman who hurt Wang Jin was Yu Manyun was not without basis, as Xiao Emei had tipped him off before.

Among the potential enemies he has provoked now, Yu Manyun is the only one who is most likely to be the enemy in terms of motive and possibility. Yu Manyun is also the person who best fits the description.

At this moment, he couldn't help but feel a little fortunate.

Fortunately, Yu Manyun arrived a few days late.

If Yu Manyun had arrived a few days earlier, he would have been in Luoshui Lake.

Once she comes to the house, my eldest brother and his wife's family will be in danger if I'm not there.

If she could be so cruel to Wang Jin, she would definitely be cruel to her elder brother, sister-in-law, nephews and nieces.

Just thinking about this made him secretly afraid.

This also made him more determined.

Both Laogui and Linglong need to be trained well.

They have been trained by the two of them, so even if I am not around, I will not say that I don’t have the power to protect my eldest brother and his wife’s family.

After passing through the city gate and entering Dongling City, looking up at Jiangning, I saw a very conspicuous inn.

Linjiang Tower.

"Brother, how about we stay in this inn first?"

Looking at the five-story Linjiang Building in front of him, Jiang Ning thought for a moment and nodded.

"Row!"

"Brother and sister-in-law, please find a place to stay first! I will arrange the rest!"

After a while.

After checking in a room and settling everyone in, Jiang Ning left Lao Gui and Ling Long in his eldest brother and his wife's room, and then he walked out of Linjiang Tower.

He had just thought it through.

He must return to Luoshui County.

Wang Jin must receive timely treatment for such an injury, otherwise even if he recovers, he will still have hidden injuries, or even because the injury is too serious, he may never recover in his lifetime.

In Dongling County, there is no other choice except Yaowang Valley for the best medical skills.

But before going back, he had to settle down properly.

Once Yu Manyun came to Dongling City to find her elder brother, his wife and their family, the inn alone would not be able to protect its guests.

Even if Lao Gui and Linglong are included, they may not be able to defeat Yu Manyun.

According to Xiao Emei, Yu Manyun can compete with her for the position of the next Palace Master of Shuiyue Sword Palace, which is enough to show that Yu Manyun's strength is not inferior to Xiao Emei.

After all, the sisters Xiao Qiu Shui and Xiao Ming Yue both have the surname Xiao, and Xiao Emei also has the surname Xiao.

Just this surname is enough to show that the relationship between Xiao Emei and Xiao Qiu Shui is not that simple and there is room for speculation.

If Yu Manyun can compete with Xiao Emei, how could she not have some skills?

The old turtle is not as strong as a fifth-rank warrior.

As for Linglong, her strength is even lower. With only a few decades of practice, her strength is probably comparable to that of an eighth-grade martial artist.

Therefore, when facing Yu Manyun, it would be good if they could delay her for a while, but they had no ability to protect them.

So before he leaves, he must find some protection.

It can ensure that even if Yu Manyun finds her elder brother and sister-in-law in Dongling City, she will not be able to harm them.

soon.

He followed the method Xiao Emei left and released a flying messenger in the bird house in the city.

Call Xiao Emei back from Shuiyue Sword Palace and make her one of the amulets of Jiang Li's family.

Subsequently.

He followed the agreement Bai Luoyu left before he left.

Before leaving Luoshui County, Bai Luoyu invited him to have a good reunion with Bai Luoyu after arriving in Dongling City.

Bai Luoyu wanted to play the role of host and treated him to a drink.

Under normal circumstances, he would not be in a hurry to see Bai Luoyu.

But this moment is different.

In Dongling City, Bai Luoyu holds an extraordinary status.

Being the inspector of a county is enough to give him extraordinary power.

Moreover, Bai Luoyu holds the position of a sixth-rank inspector, and his strength is extraordinary, and must be no less than Yu Manyun.

If Bai Luoyu nodded and agreed to help, then his elder brother, his wife and their family would be truly safe.

He had no worries and could set off for Luoshui County.

His mentor helped him out of the difficult situation.

He had to remember this feeling.

Not to mention, it was also because of himself that Wang Jin suffered this unexpected misfortune.

It is only right and reasonable that I have to take care of this matter myself.

I must also find a way to treat Wang Jin's injuries and try my best to avoid any future troubles.

As for Yu Manyun, if it was really her who did it, I have to avenge her.

The Shuiyue Sword Palace behind her would not necessarily be afraid if they really wanted to fight to the death.

He already knew where the Shuiyue Sword Palace was located.

It was an island in the middle of a lake.

The water is your home ground and is where you can display most of your strength.

If he were to use all his skills now, he would not have the courage to challenge Xiao Qiu Shui, who was known as the number one person under the Grandmaster.

But this matter is not at this moment, nor is it now.

The most urgent task is to relieve himself of his worries and take Wang Jin to Yaowang Valley to heal his injuries.

The rest of the things need to be put aside.
