Chapter 592 Killing the Shen clan
There were still five or six days until the Seven Cities Conference. Since there was nothing to do during these few days, Chu Xiaomu suggested that Jinglan and Xiaoying take Li Qi and his four guards to take a good look around Jinyang City to see the different customs and people of Jinyang City. Bicheng had been exhausted from the military for several months, so they could take this free time to relax.
Li Qi laughed and said, "It's okay to relax in Jinyang City, but you, Li Zhongjun, don't have much money, so you can't treat everyone to a lot of food and drinks."
Chu Xiaomu smiled and said, "Don't worry about this, Li Zhongjun. We have plenty of gold shells in our hands."
Li Qi was a little confused and frowned and asked, "The people in Bicheng are poor, and the monthly salary of the soldiers is pitifully low. After arriving at the west bank of Kun River, they haven't received their monthly salary for several months. How come you have so many gold shells?"
Chu Xiaomu smiled and said, "I was very hungry, so I had to become a robber and rob some money to spend."
Li Qi didn't understand what was going on and thought he was joking. The guards beside him shook their heads.
Jinglan said, "Fourth Uncle, don't listen to what Brother Xiaomu said. He helped the bandit leader He Cang of Xiao Tushan a big favor, so He Cang gave him 500 gold shell coins. General Xuan paid for us to buy food for Bicheng, so the 500 gold shell coins are still there."
Li Qi nodded and said with a smile: "After leaving Bicheng, I, as an uncle, actually have to spend your nephews' money. It's really ridiculous..."
The three of them chatted and laughed happily, and before they knew it, it was already late at night.
In the next few days, Jinglan and Xiaoying led Li Qi and his four guards to wander around Jinyang City. Xiaoying was already quite familiar with Jinyang City, and she led the six people through the streets and alleys of Jinyang City, as happy as a butterfly that had flown into the flowers.
Chu Xiaomu still went to Chengji Palace in Tiankun Castle early every morning to treat Jin Lier's injuries.
In the first two days, he was still worried that Xuanying would send someone or personally assassinate Jin Lier. Later, he saw Zhang Qianyuan and Gong Shukang appearing near Chengji Palace from time to time, and there were also several strange-looking people hiding in the dark. The defense was so tight that it was almost impenetrable, so he was no longer so worried. He thought that no matter how brave Xuanying was, he would not openly assassinate the lord of Jinyang City.
There were two people who left a deep impression on him. One was a strange woman with a black veil on her face. The skin on the back of her hand looked like the bark of an old and dry tree. She was the one who could find the hidden feather-tailed lizard. Chu Xiaomu had already found out her name: Makeup Woman.
The other one was a burly man with bluish-gray skin on his face and arms. It was shiny and oily and did not look like the skin of a normal person. He must also be a spirit.
But Chang Lun was not to be seen, and no one knew where he was hiding.
The defenses in the castle were already extremely tight, and Xuanying would never be stupid enough to take action at this time. Moreover, Jin Lier also confidently said that there were ways to deal with it. Chu Xiaomu was no longer worried and only focused on healing her injuries.
Under Chu Xiaomu's treatment with wood-attribute spiritual power, the external injury on Jin Lier's lower back healed extremely quickly. A scab began to form after two days, and five days later, only a light layer of green remained on the wound. It was estimated that after one or two more treatments, the green color could be completely removed, and the alien spiritual power in her body would be completely removed.
People who were arranged by Xihai, Baijun, Yutuo and other cities to attend the Seven Cities Conference have arrived one after another in the past few days, and Jinyang City has become more lively.
When Chu Xiaomu entered and exited Tiankun Castle, he happened to encounter troops from two of the cities.
One of them was the God-killer from Xihai City. The one riding in front was a young man with an arrogant look, a stout body, but a skinny face. He was wearing a strange yellow and blue outfit, which was tied very tightly around the waist, like a purse that had been strangled.
The young man was playing with a colorful gem the size of a fist in his left hand. The gem was a pure round bead with three colors on the surface: neem green, malachite green, and marrow red. It looked faintly like flowing water waves and was very strange.
Chu Xiaomu didn't know which one of the God-killers this was, so he asked the lame old man who was selling sugar paintings next to him. The uncoagulated sugar syrup on the old man's bamboo stick was dripping on his coarse linen collar. His cloudy eyes reflected the dazzling light of the West Sea City team, and he said tremblingly: "This evil star is the young master of West Sea City, God-killer Yinmen. When his father, God-killer Changduan, single-handedly slaughtered 300 bandits in the Blood Wolf Village, you kid was probably still breastfeeding!"
Behind the Killing God Yinmen followed a large round cart pulled by a flower-horned deer, with a jade canopy and pearl curtains, which was so strange that it didn't seem to be something from the Cangmu Kingdom.
The cart was pulled by a strange spotted deer from the northern corner of Xihai City, each of whose plum blossom-shaped markings glowed with the luster of mother-of-pearl. The jade roof of the round cart was clearly carved from a whole piece of malachite, and the wheels were covered with soft rubber made of mermaid skin, rolling over the bluestone slabs as silently as spring snow melting. The pearl curtain swayed slightly as it moved, and it was vaguely visible that the car was covered with scales of some deep-sea creatures, each of which reflected the changing rainbow.
The scimitar sheaths of the warriors guarding the carriage were engraved with wave patterns, and the blue amber inlaid in the handles contained tiny sea worms. The eyelids of the horses under their crotch actually had transparent nictitating membranes, and the horseshoes glowed a strange blue in the sun - this was clearly made from the cold flame iron ore unique to the West Sea. The water-patterned cloud clothes of the maids in the back rippled with their steps, and a closer look revealed that each ripple was a miniature spell embroidered with silver thread, and the obsidian beads on the beaded boots knocked against each other with their footsteps, making a crisp sound similar to the collision of abacus beads.
"With such a grand ceremony, could it be that the Dragon Girl of the West Sea is hiding in the car?" A drunkard's teasing could be heard from the second floor of a restaurant facing the street. Half of a greasy head popped out from behind the gold-rimmed marigold window.
A man who was drinking with him said, "The Dragon Girl of the West Sea is not interested in worldly matters, so why would she condescend to come to our Jinyang City? I think the person in the car must be the concubine of the Hidden Sect of the Killing God!"
The other man quickly made a gesture to silence the others and said in a low voice, "From what I know, it should be the sister of the Killing God Hidden Sect, Killing God Yaoyao."
When the drunkard heard the voice of the God of Killing Yaoyao, he was so scared that he dared not speak loudly.
The third man continued, "I heard that the God of Killing Yaoyao smelled like the sea when she was born, and the midwife saw a birthmark on her back that looked like fish scales..." Before he finished speaking, a schoolchild on the street suddenly pointed at the pearl curtain and shouted, "Look! Something is glowing!"
The killer Yinmen turned his head suddenly, and the marrow red color of the three-color gem in his hand suddenly surged. His pale face looked like a corpse sinking in the sea under the light of the pearl, and his slender pupils shrank into two vertical lines. The wonton vendor who was being watched dropped his soup spoon on the ground with a clang, and the boiling bone soup splashed on his leggings without him noticing it at all - that look was very much like a ghost-faced shearwater flying close to the sea before a storm, with some inhuman cold and dampness. The whole street fell into a dead silence, and even the bronze wind chimes hanging on the eaves of the teahouse stopped swinging.
Chu Xiaomu noticed that the famous God of Killing in Xihai City actually had an inexplicable evil aura, and couldn't help but worry whether Jin Lier's invitation to them to attend the Seven Cities Conference would backfire.
