The Demon Queen of Divine Doctor is not to be trifled with

Chapter 688 Can’t enter Xiushan County?

Ye Wenyan leaned forward and stared at Feng Zhaolian's notebook for a while, "What's written here?"

Feng Zhaolian said slyly, "Weather forecast. I asked Yunchen for it before I left the palace. He predicted the weather for the next month, and focused on the forecast for Xiushan County. Ah Yan, it will rain for the next month, which is different from the conclusion he got from astrology before. Yunchen said he didn't know what was going on, but he had a vague feeling that it was not good."

She handed the notebook to Ye Wenyan, and it was indeed a month's worth of weather, with rain written on it every day.

Perhaps this kind of rain is just ordinary rain for mortals. Even if it lasts for the next month, it is just a continuous rain. If it is heavier, it will cause floods and need flood control. But for spiritual practitioners, this rain is too annoying. "I have a premonition that there will be unusual movements in the shoreless sea within half a year." Ye Wenyan lowered his voice and said, "I hope my premonition is not accurate, but if it comes true, Feng Zhaolian, I hope you don't go to the beach with us."

"Why don't you let me go?" Feng Zhaolian immediately shook her head. "No, I must go. Even if you don't take me, I will go by myself. Ah Yan, you have things to do in Wu'an Sea, and I have things to do in Wu'an Sea. You have someone to wait for, and I have someone to wait for too. I have never hidden anything from you, and I don't expect you to tell me everything you know. I just hope you won't stop me from doing my own thing. To some extent, we are all the same people, so you should understand my feelings.

Although I have grown up in this life, the memory of my previous life is deeply rooted. In my heart, I am always a Qianzhou person. As long as I have this obsession in my heart, it will be difficult for me to integrate into this life. So, Ah Yan, I hope you can help me get rid of this obsession. "

Ye Wenyan sighed helplessly, "Forget it, follow me if you want to, I will do my best to keep you safe. But I have to say something in advance to remind you. Although the abnormal movement in the shoreless sea is our speculation, it is almost certain. A Man said that there was an island sinking in the sea, which is also a kind of abnormal movement. No one knows what the next abnormal movement will be like, but it is certain that it will be very dangerous. So I can only say that I will try my best to keep you safe, but I can't guarantee that I will keep you safe. Do you understand?"

"I understand." Feng Zhaolian nodded. "Don't worry. Life and death are determined by fate. As someone who has died once, I understand this principle better. So when we get to the shoreless sea, just do your own things. I won't cause you any trouble, and I don't need you to take care of me too much. If we encounter irreversible danger, I will withdraw immediately and will never rush forward without knowing my own limitations."

The carriage traveled for five days in the wind and rain, wading through the mud. By the time it arrived in Xiushan County, the horses' legs and the carriage were covered in mud.

It was evening when they arrived and the sun was about to set.

Xiushan County was originally a small county town, but because the daughter of the Jiang family married into the mansion of a first-rank general decades ago, and the two families had a life-saving favor, the status of the Jiang family in Xiushan County rose rapidly. Gradually, even the small county town of Xiushan County became a small city, and a city gate was built, more soldiers were sent to guard it, and even part of the land was expanded.

But this small town looked a little deserted. At least when their carriage arrived at the city gate, although the gate had not been closed yet, there were no passers-by except for the two soldiers guarding the city.

Yun Xiao drove the carriage a few steps forward, but was soon stopped by soldiers. "What are you doing? Why are you entering the city?"

Ye Wenyan in the carriage laughed when he heard this. "Do you really think Xiushan is a city? Hey, do you think the imperial court knew about the expansion of Xiushan County's territory? Since they call their county a city, what should the local officials be called?"

Feng Zhaolian thought for a moment and said, "City Lord?"

Ye Wenyan shook his head. "There is no such thing as a city lord in Northern Qi. The county-level official is called a county magistrate. If it is a city-level official, then he is called a prefect."

"We in Guiyue don't call him the city lord. The city lord is a term used by small countries. For example, in a small country like Suyuan, they like to call the head of a city the city lord. I understand what you mean. You want to ask if the magistrate of Xiushan County has promoted himself."

Another voice came from outside. It was Yun Xiao who answered the official: "We are just passing by and will stay overnight in Xiushan."

"Stay overnight in Xiushan?" The official paused, then said, "Let's take a detour. Although it's a little late and it's getting dark, it's better to stay in the wild than in Xiushan. We have good intentions. Seeing that your carriage is nice, you must be a wealthy family. The lives of wealthy people are precious. Don't leave them in Xiushan city."

Another official said, "What do you mean by Xiushan City? It's not a city at this time. We are in Xiushan County."

"Yes, Xiushan County, you'd better stay away from Xiushan County. Leave quickly, we are going to close the city gates."

Yun Xiao was puzzled: "Why? It must be safer in the city at this time of night! If we take a detour, we will either have to walk at night or sleep in the mountains. It's raining heavily now. No, it's too risky."

"Why don't you listen to me? Staying in the mountains is better than going into the city. There's no peace in the city, people will die!"

Feng Zhaolian poked his head out of the carriage and asked the soldier, "What's going on? Is there a ghost in the city?"

The officer looked at her and was stunned for a long time. He probably didn't expect that the person who suddenly stuck his head out to talk to him was such a beautiful girl. He stared at Feng Zhaolian and forgot how to answer.

Yun Xiao frowned, stretched out his hand to press Feng Zhaolian's forehead, and pushed her back, "Tell me, why is it so uneasy?"

When the officer saw the pretty girl return to the carriage, he came to his senses and glared at Yun Xiao fiercely before saying, "Since you must ask, I'll tell you. It's not a secret anyway and will be known to others sooner or later.

People have been dying at night in Xiushan recently for more than ten days in a row. At first, one person died a night, then two died a night, and last night, four people died a night. The person was obviously killed, and his head was cut off directly. The government has been investigating, but not only did they not find the murderer, but several officials died. People are panicking now, not to mention at night, even during the day, few people go out. Okay, if you insist on going into the city, I won’t stop you. After you go in, you must find an inn to stay in immediately, don’t light the lights, and don’t sleep too deeply at night. Leave as soon as the sun rises tomorrow, and stay as little as possible, understand?"

Yun Xiao nodded, "Got it, thank you, little brother. We will go into the city now. By the way, didn't you report this to your superiors?"

"Yes," the soldier said, "We have asked the prefect of Jinzhou for help, but the officials from Jinzhou will arrive tomorrow at the earliest."

Yun Xiao said nothing more and drove the carriage into the city. The two soldiers no longer stood guard at the city gate. They quickly closed the gate and ran into the city, shouting at them from a distance: "Hurry up and find an inn!"

Feng Zhaolian said: "The people in Xiushan County are quite enthusiastic."

Ye Wenyan glanced at her and told the truth: "I think it might be because you just showed up, this enthusiasm is directed at you."

"It seems that having a good-looking face is of some use. Hey, Yan, what do you think we should do now? Should we find an inn?"

Ye Wenyan shook his head, "Don't look for an inn, just go to Jiang's house to stay overnight." After that, he lifted the curtain and said to Yun Xiao, "If you can meet someone, ask how to get to Jiang's house. Everyone in this place should know about Jiang's house."

After lowering the curtain, he looked at Shi Liyuan and Feng Zhaolian again, shook his head and said, "Who of you two should change the color of your clothes? Both of you are wearing red, which is too eye-catching."

Shi Liyuan looked at his outfit and said, "Does it look strange? I think it's quite good. Besides, I only wear red, so I'm used to it."

Feng Zhaolian also said: "I think red is a good color too, and I only wear red."

"So what you mean is that you have to dress like a couple in front of me? If that's the case, I'll be redundant. I'd better go out and drive the carriage with Yun Xiao." She glared at Shi Liyuan fiercely. Shi Liyuan shuddered and immediately realized what was going on. Without saying a word, he raised his hand and made a gesture to perform a clothes-changing technique. His clothes instantly turned white.

The rain suppression technique became more and more severe, and he was reluctant to use such a small technique. Ye Wenyan also saw his reluctance and became more and more uneasy.

"Don't worry, I have a lover, I won't steal a man from you." Feng Zhaolian smiled and hooked her arm around Ye Wenyan's shoulder, "Ah Yan, don't take it too seriously. No matter what happens, we can face it together. It's no big deal. I've lived through two lifetimes, I've seen all kinds of big scenes. How can a mere shoreless sea turn the world upside down?"

Ye Wenyan smiled bitterly. A mere shoreless sea? If it was really just a mere thing, then the Xuanmai Ye family wouldn't have protected it for thousands of years.

But Feng Zhaolian was right. He had lived through two lifetimes and had seen all kinds of storms. He shouldn't be so depressed.

The carriage went on for a while and gradually stopped. Feng Zhaolian thought they had arrived at Jiang's residence and was about to get off, but Yun Xiao said, "Don't get off yet. We haven't found out where Jiang's residence is, because there is no one on the road and all the shops are closed."

Feng Zhaolian said, "Then we can just knock on the door and ask. We can't just knock and not have them open the door. That would be like a dead city." Yun Xiao said, "Okay, you guys sit in the car for a while, I'll go and try."

Ye Wenyan thought for a moment and said loudly, "Let's go down together! With Feng Zhaolian and I here, the people who get knocked on the door won't be too scared. If it were just you, a grown man, there would probably be no one who would open the door for you at this time."

Feng Zhaolian also thought this made sense, so he stood up, put on his raincoat, and was the first to leave the carriage.

Ye Wenyan and Shi Liyuan followed her out. She saw Yun Xiao helping Feng Zhaolian get out of the car and even lifted her skirt considerately. The action was surprisingly natural...
