Chapter 159 Xiangyang
The two set off on the road again, Su Xiaowu observed Zhao Qingyi carefully, and the more they got along, the more he felt that this person was hopeless.She is more pampered than a woman, and has zero ability to survive outside.Su Xiaowu is very suspicious of how this person survived in the rivers and lakes before.

And looking at the smile in Zhao Qingyi's eyes, she often felt that she was being teased.What made her even more upset was that she couldn't find any evidence that he was playing her.Along the way, she also found many opportunities to test whether Zhao Qingyi knew martial arts, and always let him use various weird ways to escape.For a moment, I really wasn't sure if he was really a weak young man, or he was just pretending to be stupid.

But she is also good at pretending to be stupid. Every time something happens, she looks at Zhao Qingyi with an innocent face. Of course, she will never admit that she did it on purpose.

You can't use a sword to force him to see if he has martial arts, right?Su Xiaowu sometimes looked at the calluses on her palms that were formed by whipping the horsewhip every day, and really hoped that an assassin or something would try it for her at this time.But for the sake of her life, she should be spared.

The two stopped and made noise along the way, and finally arrived outside Xiangyang City a few days later.

Xiangyang is located at the confluence of various rivers beside the Han River. It controls the vast mountainous area and the traffic between upstream and downstream. Its geographical location is very dangerous. It has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times.

At dusk, Su Xiaowu drove the carriage and finally arrived in Xiangyang before the city gate closed, and entered the city after paying the city gate tax.

The city wall of Xiangyang is imposing, solid and majestic, with archery towers at the city gate, bell towers and drum towers facing each other.The marks of knives and axes can be clearly seen on the wall, which shows that the city wall has been baptized several times in historical wars.

The fifteen-foot-high city wall was lit with lights, and the street that ran through the north and south gates happened to be the beginning of the lights.The archways and pavilions standing across the street can't be seen beyond the horizon.There are many shops and houses on both sides of the road.The long street is paved with simple and unsophisticated stone bricks, and there is a lot of traffic on the road, which is a peaceful and lively scene.

Su Xiaowu slowly drove the carriage on the street, and found that there were many people dressed in Jianghu wandering around here.He suddenly remembered that the three humble guests he met on the road had said that the Lord of Hanyue Castle in Xiangyang was about to celebrate his [-]th birthday, so these were the people who were going to attend the birthday banquet.It's just that she noticed that most of them were young people.

"Susu, let's go to Cold Moon Fort right now." Zhao Qingyi got out from the carriage, sat beside Su Xiaowu, and said with a smile on his face.

Su Xiaowu pinched her fingers and counted the days, and found that the two of them had lost a lot of time on the road, "Tomorrow is the birthday banquet of the Castle Master of Cold Moon Castle, let's go there then." Su Xiaowu glanced at it happily Zhao Qingyi said lightly.With such a dusty look, why do they disturb others at night?

"Let's go now, and you can save money for staying in a hotel." Zhao Qingyi said leisurely, looking left and right at the night view of Xiangyang.

Completely speechless.

Su Xiaowu resisted the urge to frown, and after a while, she said as calmly as possible: "But we didn't prepare a birthday gift, so is it appropriate to go empty-handed like this?" He had a thick skin, but she was embarrassed.Cold Moon Fort sounds like it is still a very famous place, can he just perfunctory it?

Zhao Qingyi looked at Su Xiaowu with the eyes of an idiot, and said proudly: "This is the reason why I insist on going there tonight. If I go tomorrow, don't I want to give a birthday gift? Let's talk about it while I get in today. Hanyue The castle is so big, there must be a guest room for us.”

Su Xiaowu only felt that there was a black line on her forehead that gradually slipped down. She felt that this guy's mind was already very understandable.Unable to resist his lord, Su Xiaowu sighed and said, "Okay, how do we go?"

"Cross this street until you reach the south gate of Xiangyang, and then go west not far to Hanyue Fort." Zhao Qingyi shook the folding fan in his hand more vigorously, "I have been to Hanyue Fort once, umm , that Feng Feifei's temper is truly unbelievable."

It turned out that he had been to Hanyue Castle, Su Xiaowu felt relieved, and drove the carriage through the crowd. "Where is Cold Moon Fort?" Su Xiaowu asked curiously.

Zhao Qingyi raised his sword eyebrows, and said in an exaggerated tone: "No way! You don't even know about Cold Moon Fort?"

Su Xiaowu smiled indifferently, and said, "I don't know, I've only been in the world for half a year, so of course I don't know anything." She admitted that she was a novice in the world, so what?
Zhao Qingyi turned his head to look at her for a while, and then slowly said: "Hanyuebao is famous for its falling moon whip, which can probably be regarded as one of the strange weapons. And this is just the prestige of Hanyuebao in the martial arts world. Part of the reason."

"Oh?" Su Xiaowu skillfully drove the carriage to avoid the oncoming convoy. Her skills have become more and more proficient in the past few days.There is no way, if she is not self-reliant, is she still counting on this little prince?And with a little bit of electric current from a finger puller, the horse can be completely controlled, which is a piece of cake.

"Hanyue Fort was originally an escort agency, but later involved in land transportation and shipping, and it seems to have developed into the largest force controlling the Jianghu of the Central Plains." Zhao Qingyi said with a smile, but Su Xiaowu could hear some dissatisfaction in his words.

Think about it too, he is a prince after all, how can he allow a special force to grow and develop under his nose?Others don't know the importance of transportation, but she knows it very well.

"What's wrong with Feng Feifei?" Su Xiaowu changed the subject with a light smile, "I heard that she is not a famous heroine? Even Fu Wange once praised her."

Zhao Qingyi tapped his forehead with a folding fan, and said with a wicked smile: "Don't be fooled by her name, she is a well-known naughty lady in the world. Otherwise, why haven't you married yet, hehe."

Miss Unruly?Su Xiaowu suddenly thought of Shang Wenrong, the daughter of Shang Juncheng, the former head of Huashan School.In terms of savagery, Shang Wenrong is quite high-level, I don't know how she and Yuan Bupo Yuan Daxia are doing recently.

Su Xiaowu thought of Yuan Bupo's double-faced character, and secretly sighed.She has no right to blame him for what happened in Qitian Valley, because isn't she living like this now?Maintaining a perfect idol mask on the outside, in fact, he also has a temperament that does not want to be restrained.

The carriage drove the two towards the south gate of Xiangyang. After Su Xiaowu turned a street, it was easy to see where Hanyue Fort was.

The Cold Moon Fort, the largest power in the Central Plains, was built on a small hill in the southwest corner of Xiangyang City.Covering an extremely vast area, the scale is grand.Looking at it through the dim sky, the houses are scattered all over the place, layer upon layer, and you can't see the edge.

There are lanterns and festoons everywhere in the mansion, and fancy lanterns are hung all over the place. They are brilliant and dazzling, and the inside and outside are as bright as day.

There are still a lot of guests coming, and there are endless carriages and horses.Su Xiaowu noticed that the servants of Cold Moon Castle all wore the same gray clothes and the same clothes.The difference is only the color of the belt, presumably to represent different levels.

What a great family!As soon as Su Xiaowu compared the depression of the commoner villa, she immediately understood why Zhao Qingyi cared so much about Hanyue Castle.Compared with the commoner villa, which is more sensible, Hanyue Castle is the object that the imperial court should pay the most attention to.

Perhaps, this is the real reason why Zhao Qingyi doesn't want to marry Fu Wange.Su Xiaowu secretly glanced at Zhao Qingyi's dignified profile under the light, feeling dissatisfied for Fu Wange.She doesn't believe that the current power of the Commoner Villa is smaller than that of Hanyue Castle, it's just that the former knows how to beat the top bird with a stick.

Su Xiaowu saw the servants of Hanyue Castle coming forward, she smiled gracefully and said, "Emei sent Su Xiaowu here to congratulate the owner of Hanyue Castle on his [-]th birthday."

She wants to see where this Cold Moon Fort is.

However, who can tell her, what is the name of the owner of Cold Moon Castle...
