Sword Roaring in the Sky

Chapter 95: Xiangyang Street, No Yang Goods (First update, please give me a monthly ticket)
Sun Yanwan drove to Xiangyang Street. After asking around, he quickly found Du Kumei's residence.

Well, when he asked around, he found out that there were no Yang guys on this Xiangyang Street, only eunuchs!

Commonly known as Eunuch Street.

However, not all eunuchs of all ranks can settle down here. At least they have to be in charge of the palace and have important missions to be qualified to have a house on Xiangyang Street.

Sun Yanwan found the residence of the eunuch chief steward. He was not familiar with the official positions in the Dalang Dynasty, especially the official positions in the palace. He was even more confused and didn't know what kind of chief steward this was. But seeing that the mansion was very luxurious, with flying eaves and walls, and tasseled tiles, he guessed that his status in the palace was not low. When he knocked on the door, he was a little polite and used gentle force.

After about half an incense stick of time, someone responded in a gentle voice, "The chief steward is on duty in the palace. Please return."

How could Sun Yanwan go back? He shouted, "We are distant relatives of the Grand Steward, and we have come all the way here to seek refuge with you."

The people in the mansion didn't believe it at all. There were many people pretending to be relatives of high-ranking officials and nobles, coming to the house to take advantage of the autumn breeze. However, Sun Yanwan persisted and knocked on the door repeatedly. Finally, someone in the mansion couldn't stand it anymore. With a creak, they opened the door and brought out several strong servants, shouting, "Such a scoundrel, do you want to be beaten?"

Sun Yanwan rolled up his sleeves and was about to "reason" with the other party when he heard someone whisper from behind: "Yanwan, you have worked hard to send me here."

"Auntie will always remember the kindness we showed her along the way. It's not convenient for you to interfere with what happens next. Please go back first."

Sun Yanwan only felt a strange emotion rising from her heart, and she seemed unable to control herself. She was terrified and hurriedly practiced the Xuanhuang Sutra. Then she felt a fragrant breeze passing by from behind. The eldest brother's mother brought a little Taoist nun and leisurely walked into the residence of the chief steward Du Kumei. The servants of the chief steward's mansion were all like toads shocked by thunder, standing still. No one said a word, and no one tried to stop them. The scene was very strange.

Although only the back was seen, it still gave people a strange feeling of having their heart beating fast and their souls flying away. It seemed as if the whole person was taken away from their mind by a magical force.

After all, Sun Yanwan was a disciple of the Songyang Sect and had the direct guidance of the contemporary grandmaster. In just a moment, he understood one thing: his eldest senior brother's mother, his own "aunt", had used some strange secret method to shake everyone's mind, which was why the servants in Du Kumei's mansion were so stunned.

Although Sun Yanwan had guessed along the way that the eldest senior brother's mother might not be completely powerless and might be a master, at this moment, he realized that he might have underestimated this "aunt".

The secret method of the spirit is the most advanced secret method in martial arts. In order to be able to practice it to the point of controlling matter with the spirit and shaking people's hearts, one must be above the innate realm.

This aunt's move was so strange and unpredictable that Sun Yanwan couldn't even convince herself that she was just an ordinary Xiantian realm cultivator.

This "Madam" walked lightly into the mansion and said softly, "Quickly close the door."

Someone immediately obeyed and went up to close the door. Sun Yanwan looked at the door slowly closing, touched her nose, and was about to turn around, but saw the little Taoist nun turning around, bowing with a smile on her face.

When Sun Yanwan reached this point, he felt a little relieved, as this meant that his mission was truly over.

Although I felt a little regretful that I didn't get to meet the eldest senior brother, I completed what he had asked of me and sent his mother to her destination.

Sun Yanwan remembered that the head master once warned him: "The capital is a treacherous place. You must not trust others easily and are not allowed to stay there for a long time. Come back immediately after sending the person away." He did not stay any longer and drove the carriage out of the inner city in a short time. He was thinking about whether he should take a stroll in Luojing and buy some things to take back, when he saw a crowd of people in front of him. Out of curiosity, he looked in the direction and saw an archway. Under the archway, there were officials in red robes hanging up a notice.

Sun Yanwan thought to himself: "Is this a marriage proposal, or a medical treatment for the emperor? It's a common scene in Eastern and Western folk novels!" Seeing such a lively scene, he lost interest, squeezed out of the crowd, and walked away.

A group of clerks worked for a long time before finally hanging up the notice.

Someone with a curious mind read aloud, "The Emperor of Dalang has issued an edict: Eighteen people, including the Four Doctors of the Four Departments, the Minister of Rites, the Secretary of the Central Secretariat Han Shi... and the newly crowned number one scholar Su Wanhong, have been making irresponsible remarks about state affairs! I hereby decree that Han Shi be sent to Chaozhou as the Commander of the Militia... and Su Wanhong as the Gatekeeper of Yongzhou..."

Immediately, people began to whisper: The emperor was so furious that he actually demoted the new number one scholar to a doorman!
Others said, "It's a pity that Su, the top scholar, had to follow Han Shi to the imperial court. After passing the imperial examination, he didn't even get to enjoy his wealth and glory for a single day before he was thrown into the Ministry of Personnel's prison. Now he's even been demoted to a doorman..."

Sun Yanwan returned to the inn, returned the carriage, and since it was still early, he prepared to set off.

But he was also slightly hesitant. Should he go back to Songyang Mountain or return to his master?

Although he had made many acquaintances with fellow disciples in Songyang Mountain, including Sun Lingdie and Namco, he thought about it again and again and decided to go back to see his master first.

As soon as Sun Yanwan left the inn, a group of soldiers rushed in and shouted, "Have you seen a boy of twelve or thirteen years old with two girls?"

Sun Yanwan had no idea that he had escaped another disaster. He was already carrying quite a lot of luggage, including five long swords. It would be too tiring to walk back to Taiyi Temple, so he wanted to buy a good horse.

He left the black rabbit given by Sima Zi Yan at Taiyi Temple on Lingjian Peak. He was in a hurry to come out this time and did not ride it.

Sun Yanwan had heard that the Five Markets and Twelve Wards of Luojing were very famous. In addition to buying horses, he also wanted to bring some gifts to his master. Even though the grandmaster had everything he needed and the gifts were insignificant, he still had to show his filial piety.

In Luojing, only East Market and Southeast Market sold horses. East Market sold slow horses for carts, oxen, pigs, sheep, and other livestock, while Southeast Market sold fast horses, along with saddles, carriages, and even hired drivers. Perhaps because this world was known for its martial arts prowess, the sale of fast horses was not prohibited, and the prices were quite fair.

Sun Yan arrived in Southeast City late. He had never seen a horse market on Earth. After all, in modern life, there is no such large-scale use of animal power. For a moment, he was quite interested in picking cats and dogs like in a pet market.

Although Sun Yanwan knew nothing about horses, he had an understanding of aesthetics. As he went along, he only looked at those horses that were tall, strong, handsome and sturdy. However, these horses had a good appearance and were favored by dignitaries and wanderers in the capital. Their prices were often seven or eight times higher. Despite the high prices, he had asked about seven or eight horses, and all of them had been booked. However, the buyers were still raising money and had not taken them away.

Sun Yanwan wandered around for half a day, and as it was getting dark, she couldn't help but cry out, "Oh no, I can't leave today."

　I got up this morning and drew some cards. Wow, I actually drew "Angry Banana Speed"...

　　Urgently seeking monthly tickets to drive away the banana buff...
