I want to cultivate swordsman

Entering the room, Xu Zhiqiu raised his eyes to look at Zhao Hanqing who was sitting in the front seat. This was the first time he met the magistrate. The image of the other party was slightly different from what he thought in his heart. He has a very kind face, but he is a bit short and thin, standing only at the shoulder height of Xu Zhiqiu.

When Zhao Hanqing saw Catcher Xing bringing him over, he quickly got up from his chair and greeted him.But Xing Butou did not enter the room, nodded to his superior and then left very interestingly. The Zisha woman who was sitting in the room also got up from her seat, walked to Xu Zhiqiu and bowed, and then walked out of the room Door.

Xu Zhiqiu had never seen this woman before, and seeing that there was no fluctuation of true energy in the other party's body, he didn't care, and only responded when the other party saluted.

When he and the county magistrate were the only ones left in the room, Zhao Hanqing warmly grabbed his cuffs, pulled him to the nearest seat, and said like an elder next door: "Come, come, Young Master Xu!" Please sit down quickly, oops, I hurriedly asked Mr. Xing to invite you over, and I hope Mr. Xu will not make trouble."

Xu Zhiqiu was sitting on the chair, and before he could speak, Zhao Hanqing put a cup of hot tea in his hand, "This is a spiritual tea specially bought from Fucheng Pharmacy. Mr. Xu is a Taoist, so I ordered someone to prepare it specially." some."

Hearing that it was spirit tea, Xu Zhiqiu didn't refuse it, and brought it to his mouth for a sip. Although the tea was steaming hot, it could produce a hint of coolness after drinking it in the stomach, which had the effect of refreshing the mind. Cultivators have not improved at all, so they cannot be regarded as real spiritual tea.

Obviously, the tea in this cup is different from the spirit tea in the Immortal Dao sect. It should be picked from some ordinary tea trees that have absorbed the spirit energy for several years, while the real spirit tea is picked from the cultivating tree. It can steal three days of penance, which is usually used to entertain distinguished guests in the Immortal Dao sect.

After taking a sip of tea, Xu Zhiqiu put down his cup. The magistrate seemed to be trying to win over his feelings, but he didn't take the initiative to mention the reason for this invitation. After thanking him well, Xu Zhiqiu couldn't interrupt, so he just listened to the county master's talk for a long time, and only responded when the other party took a breath.

After chatting like this for a long while, perhaps feeling that the atmosphere was already in place, Zhao Hanqing cleared his throat and said, "We will be in Zhengdan in a few days. I heard that the capital is very lively. I went to see it when I was young. Once, oops, that scene really made me unforgettable forever."

the capital.Hearing the county lord mentioning the imperial capital, Xu Zhiqiu paused for a moment while putting the teacup to his mouth, not sure why the other party brought the topic up to this point.

Zhao Hanqing then asked again: "Master Xu, has he ever been to the capital?"

Xu Zhiqiu shook his head and said nothing.He has practiced in Qingyang Sect since he was a child, and it has only been a year since he returned to Lin'an County, so he has no chance to go to Qianyuan Emperor Capital.

Hearing this, Zhao Hanqing stroked the goatee on his chin, and pointed out: "That's a pity, Mr. Xu is still young, so he should go out and walk more while he is young, otherwise he will be old like me. When you can’t go, it’s too late to regret it.”

Xu Zhiqiu didn't answer, Zhao Hanqing continued: "Zhengdan is approaching, Mr. Xu, can you go to the capital to visit?"

No matter how dull Xu Zhiqiu was, he understood what the county official meant. It seemed that the other party’s invitation to come over had something to do with the capital. He didn’t rush to answer, but thought for a while in silence before replying: “The road to the capital is far away. No such thought."

Zhao Hanqing took a sip of tea, waved his hands and said, "Actually, it's not that far away. If you take a carriage, you'll be there in a month. If Mr. Xu wants to visit the capital, I can help you arrange a carriage to the capital."

A month’s journey isn’t too far away?Hearing the county magistrate talking nonsense with his eyes open like this, Xu Zhiqiu felt a little funny in his heart, but fortunately his face was as usual, and he didn't show any emotion.

Probably Zhao Hanqing also realized that it was a bit forceful to say so, so he added: "Although it is not far, it is not close, but it is not a big deal to be able to go to the capital. If Mr. Xu wants to go, this time All the expenses on the road will be paid by the county, so Mr. Xu can just eat, drink and have fun, so this can be regarded as repaying Mr. Xu for his help to the county in the past few days."

So this is to repay the kindness?Xu Zhiqiu thought for a while and decided not to, he took a sip from the teacup, looked at the smiling county lord and said: "If the county lord wants to repay Wangxianshan, there is no need to do this, after that day, Xing Butou will have sent it In order to reward money, the elders in the family also expressed their gratitude for this."

After Zhao Hanqing heard this, he also knew that he had to speak clearly, so he said again: "Hey, how can that little money be worth Mr. Xu's generous help, but having said that, there are indeed some things to invite Mr. Xu to come here this time. I would like to ask for your help, of course, what the county said just now is true, Mr. Xu's expenses for going to Beijing will be borne by the county, just take someone along the way."

Take people to Beijing.Now Xu Zhiqiu finally understood the original intention of the county magistrate.

Zhao Hanqing said: "Young Master Xu is a practitioner, so he should be most aware that there are many demons and goblins in this Qianyuan territory, and it would be dangerous for ordinary people to go to Beijing by car, so it will be much safer if you have Young Master Xu's help. "

The magistrate's words are indeed true. There are many demons and ghosts in the Qianyuan Dynasty. Although the court established the Tianwei Pavilion, and there are monastic sects guarding one side of the territory, the territory is vast, and there are still great dangers on those sparsely populated official roads. .

Xu Zhiqiu thought in his heart: It seems that this is to let himself play the role of a guard.It's just that such a thing should go to Fucheng to find a professional person. According to Xu Zhiqiu's understanding, there are many wild Qi training monks in Fucheng. Because they don't have sectarian resources, they will take over this kind of work in order to earn some money.

Zhao Hanqing seemed to see what he was thinking, and took the initiative to say: "Originally, I wanted to go to Fucheng to find some contacts, but this time I went to Beijing, in order to get there faster, the route has been changed, so I can't pass through Fucheng."

Xu Zhiqiu said: "Where is Tianwei Pavilion?"

Zhao Hanqing shook his head: "Not to mention Tianwei Pavilion, they have official positions, and it is impossible for them to be willing to take on such a thing. Alas, so I asked Mr. Xu for help."

Xu Zhiqiu said: "Then who is going to Beijing?"

"It's the daughter of an old friend of mine many years ago." Zhao Hanqing said, "Young Master Xu also saw her just now."

Having seen it just now, Xu Zhiqiu immediately thought of the woman with the purple veil.
