Nine-layer armor-breaking

Chapter 62 Discussions in the City

Ning Wei still seemed to be somewhat affected by her previous injury. Not only was her walking speed slow, but her walking posture also seemed a little unsteady.

Ning Wei seemed to be struggling as they walked, stopping and starting. Jiang Xuan couldn't bear to watch, so he said to Ning Wei, "Miss Ning Wei, let me carry you on my back. This way, we can get into the city sooner."

Ning Wei agreed with Jiang Xuan's statement, but in her heart she really didn't want to trouble the young man who saved her life for everything. However, looking at the city gate which was still quite a distance away, she began to feel conflicted.

"Don't forget, I'm a warrior." Jiang Xuan patted his arm and grinned at Ning Wei.

Faced with Jiang Xuan's action of carrying someone on his back again, Ning Wei did not say anything, but just nodded to Jiang Xuan.

Jiang Xuan carried Ning Wei on his back and quickly passed by the side of the longer team, which also caused a lot of discussion in the team.

"That's the line of warriors hunting ferocious beasts in the north of the city, right? That young man looks like a warrior, but why is he carrying a woman on his back?"

"That woman doesn't look like a warrior. Why is she joining the warrior team?"

"What do you know? They're just a handsome man and a beautiful woman."

"A handsome man and a beautiful woman? You can tell even though the woman is wearing a veil?"

"Brother, come on, I'm counting on you!"

……

As the crowd chatted, Ning Wei moved her little face, hidden behind the veil, closer to Jiang Xuan, trying her best to avoid those scrutinizing gazes.

"Miss Ningwei, don't take those words to heart. They just feel a little bored because they have been waiting for too long, so they just said a few words to make fun of each other. They probably don't mean any harm." Jiang Xuan also listened to the discussions of the crowd and comforted Ningwei.

"Yeah." Ning Wei was avoiding everyone's gaze at this time, and only squeezed out one word.

"Let him go." Seeing Jiang Xuan coming with a woman on his back, the man in green robe said in a deep voice to another man in green robe beside him.

Thanks to the efforts of the two men in green robes, a passable passage appeared at the edge of the city gate.

Jiang Xuan did not hesitate and passed through the passage at a faster speed.

Just as Jiang Xuan passed by the man in green robe, the man in green robe actually made an encouraging gesture, which made Jiang Xuan feel a little helpless.

Faced with the encouragement from the man in green robe, Jiang Xuan didn't know what to say and could only nod to him.

"Young Master Jiang, let's stay here." As soon as Jiang Xuan and his companion entered Qizhou City, Ning Wei whispered on Jiang Xuan's back.

Jiang Xuan put Ning Wei down and asked, "Is it right here?"

Ning Wei nodded and said to Jiang Xuan, "I will never forget your life-saving grace. Young Master Jiang, please keep the jade token safe."

"Don't worry, young lady." Jiang Xuan said in a deep voice.

This is a street market in the northern part of Qizhou City. Because it is close to the north city gate, this street market has a large flow of people coming and going, and it seems very lively.

Jiang Xuan saw that this street market was not a remote place and was naturally relatively safe, so he stopped asking questions and watched Ning Wei disappear into the bustling crowd.

Jiang Xuan finally felt relieved after safely delivering Ning Wei to Qizhou City. Tomorrow was the day he had agreed to meet Xu An in Qizhou City. Since the meeting place had been chosen to be at the Yunchen Inn, Jiang Xuan decided to stay there for the night, waiting for Xu An to show up.

Jiang Xuan had only met Xu An once, but he was deeply impressed by his generosity.

Hundreds of thousands of taels were casually brought into the auction house by a random acquaintance. Thinking about it now, Jiang Xuan still finds it unbelievable.

But based on Xu An's actions, Jiang Xuan also guessed from one side that Xu An's family was very powerful. According to Jiang Xuan's guess, Xu An's family was significantly more powerful than Jiang Xuan's Jiang family, at least in terms of financial resources.

"That's hundreds of thousands of taels. If it were me, I wouldn't feel comfortable handing it over to a stranger I've only met once." Jiang Xuan muttered.

However, Jiang Xuan was unaware of this at the time. Jiang Xian, who had been unable to travel with Jiang Xuan and remained in Yingzhou City, had already destroyed two medicine furnaces in order to refine the Xiaoqing Pill. The combined value of the two furnaces was at least several hundred thousand taels.

According to Jiang Xuan's judgment method, if he met a pharmacist who made medicine like this, he would definitely think that the power that pharmacist belonged to might be financially stronger than Xu An's family.

"The silver I earned from pawning my armor last time has been almost spent. If it weren't for the silver I got in the cave, I would have no money left." Jiang Xuan touched a purse at his waist and walked towards the Yunchen Inn.

"With this inspection system at the four city gates, it would take several hours just to enter or leave the city. It's far too troublesome."

"Based on this situation, it goes without saying that something big must have happened in Qizhou City. However, up to now, not even a rumor has come out, let alone the City Lord's Mansion. It's really strange."

"Do you still need gossip? It must be about the two major families in Qizhou, the Wu family and the Gao family."

……

All the way from the street market in the north of the city to the Yunchen Inn, Qizhou City was filled with speculation about the sudden and strict inspection of the city gates.

As in Yingzhou, when faced with major events, the city's residents would immediately think of the major forces within the city. In Yingzhou, these were the three major families of the Yingzhou Chamber of Commerce: the Xu, Xing, and Jiang families; and in Qizhou, these were naturally the two major families of Qizhou: the Wu and Gao families.

Before he knew it, Jiang Xuan had reached the entrance of the Yunchen Inn. Even as night fell, the Yunchen Inn was still bustling with people. However, it seemed most of the customers were there for the fish, which Mr. Sha called the best in Qizhou.

After booking a room, Jiang Xuan was led by a servant to the backyard of Yunchen Inn.

"Sir, this is the room." The servant walked to the door of a guest room, opened it, and said respectfully to Jiang Xuan.

Seeing the guest room in front of him, Jiang Xuan smiled calmly and said to the servant, "Thank you for your help."

What appeared in front of Jiang Xuan was the same guest room where he had stayed a few days ago.

At night, Jiang Xuan lay in bed and couldn't fall asleep.

"If I didn't hunt in that forest, or if there was no reward for hunting ferocious beasts in Qizhou City, how could I enter the city?" Jiang Xuan thought so.

In fact, just before discovering the team of warriors, Jiang Xuan felt a sense of powerlessness, a feeling of powerlessness in terms of strength.

Jiang Xuan considered himself a relatively free and easy person, but in the situation outside the city gate, if it weren't for that team of warriors, Jiang Xuan would have almost no other effective and quick way to enter the city.

"I'm still not strong enough. What Mr. Sha did is right." That feeling of powerlessness prompted Jiang Xuan to have a stronger desire to become stronger.

While thinking about his future cultivation, Jiang Xuan became increasingly sleepy.
