Dusk is approaching, and the rain is falling.

A magnificent city appeared in Zhang Yuan's sight from afar.

Nanxun City!

It was not the first time Zhang Yuan came to Nanxun, but he was in a hurry last time and did not really appreciate the style of this city.

He turned his head to look at Liu Qiniang next to him.

Liu Qiniang noticed it and smiled and said, "Let's go our separate ways here."

Zhang Yuan nodded: "Okay."

Children of the rivers and lakes, meeting by chance, it is a rare fate to be able to travel together.

He took a long breath and said, "Seventh sister, if you have a chance, come to Linhe to find me, I will treat you to a drink."

Liu Qiniang readily agreed: "No problem, we will meet again later!"

"Wait."

Zhang Yuan quickly took out a piece of "Nothing to Do" from his arms and handed it over: "Seventh sister, keep it for you as a souvenir."

It was the ambergris that the scholar Ji Haoran gave to thank him for saving his life.

Although this thing is precious,

But it was useless to Zhang Yuan, so it would be a good gift to Liu Qiniang.

Zhang Yuan knew very well that after they parted today, they might not see each other again.

Liu Qiniang's eyes flashed.

She silently took the no-thing card, and then returned a small peach wood talisman to Zhang Yuan.

"This is the talisman that Master left me."

The tough woman explained: "If you encounter a strange thing that you can't deal with, crushing it may give you a glimmer of hope."

Zhang Yuan hesitated: "Seventh sister..."

He felt that this peach wood talisman was much more valuable than the ambergris he gave.

This can save lives!

"Take it!"

Liu Qiniang's face darkened, and she threw the peach wood talisman into Zhang Yuan's arms.

She shook the reins violently, and the horse under her crotch immediately raised its hooves and galloped forward.

The cloth bags hanging on both sides of the saddle jumped with it.

These cloth bags were filled with human heads!

Zhang Yuan watched the other party's figure go away, and waved his hand silently.

There was no sentimental emotion, after all, he had only known this sister for a short time.

But he felt a little disappointed.

As the saying goes, when you meet someone you know well, you are still like a stranger even when you are old friends.

Some people are like strangers even though they have known each other for a long time, while some people are like old friends even when they just met.

In this world, it is really not easy to meet a friend who is compatible with you and you can talk to each other!

After putting away the peach wood talisman, Zhang Yuan rode towards Nanxun Prefecture City.

When the lights came on, he led the horse into this prosperous city with a population of hundreds of thousands.

The last time Zhang Yuan came to Nanxun, he only stayed at the Linjiang Wharf outside the city for a short time and did not enter the city.

At that time, he still felt a little regretful.

Now this regret has been made up.

The layout and scale of the prefecture city are obviously not comparable to county towns like Linhe and Qing'an.

The main street was bustling with people, and merchants from all over the country gathered here. There were all kinds of people, making Zhang Yuan feel like he was in the ancient city tourist area in his previous life.

There were many shops on both sides of the street, including rice shops, clothing stores, grocery stores, teahouses, taverns, and inns.

In the red building with bright lights hanging high, beautiful girls leaned against the windowsill and waved their handkerchiefs to the pedestrians downstairs with a smile.

In front of the crowded gambling house, several waiters shouted hard to attract customers.

One by one, bulging merchants, well-dressed young men, and rude and fierce Jianghu people were pulled into these brothels from time to time.

It was a scene of decadence and debauchery!

"Young man, do you want to come in and have a cup of apricot wine? My girl can serve people!"

Zhang Yuan did not escape the solicitation of the waiter of the Chunlou gambling house.

The city is indeed a big city, and all walks of life are fiercely competitive. Where can you see such a scene of snatching customers in Linhe County?

Unfortunately, Zhang Yuan is neither lustful nor likes gambling, so he can only decline the invitation.

He found a good-looking inn to stay in, settled his mount and luggage, and then went out to tour the city.

The night in Nanxun City is very lively.

The shops along the street are brightly lit, and the lights evenly illuminate the streets and alleys, which are full of people.

Zhang Yuan randomly found a restaurant, went in and ordered a pot of the famous local Xinghuachun, and then cut a few pounds of braised meat and add a few dishes of stir-fried vegetables for an excellent dinner.

Sitting on the second floor by the window, eating and drinking while enjoying the night view of Nanxun City.

It is really quite comfortable.

Since awakening the memory of his previous life, Zhang Yuan has been working hard for survival, and rarely has such a relaxing moment.

He is a complete stranger in this city, without any shackles and involvement.

So he feels particularly free and easy.

"Where are you running!"

At this moment, there was a sudden chaos on the street downstairs.

A man in gray was seen running wildly, holding a short knife in his hand, scaring the people around him to dodge.

There were several constables chasing him behind him.

The man in gray was about to be caught up, and rushed towards the crowd nearby in panic.

A figure suddenly appeared and slapped the man in gray on the chest with a palm.

The latter flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, and fell to the ground more than ten steps away with a scream.

Several constables were overjoyed when they saw this. Some of them subdued him on the spot, and some saluted respectfully to the person who tried to intercept him, saying: "Thank you, Mr. Sikong, for your help!"

The man was handsome in white clothes, holding a folding fan and smiling, saying: "It's just a small favor, not worth mentioning."

The constable sighed: "Master Sikong, if it weren't for you, this murderer would probably be at large. I, Han Kun, thank you on behalf of the 800,000 people of Nanxun City!"

As he said this, he bowed again.

There was a burst of cheers and applause all around.

Everyone looked at Master Sikong with admiration and amazement.

Master Sikong smiled and stepped forward to help the constable up, shook his head and said: "No need to do this."

At this time, the murderer who was restrained by the constables struggled and shouted: "I, I am innocent..."

However, a piece of rag was immediately stuffed into his mouth.

He could no longer speak.

As for the young master Sikong who was the focus of everyone's attention, he seemed to have not heard it at all, and left leisurely under the compliments of everyone.

Zhang Yuan, who was sitting in the restaurant, happened to witness the whole process.

The drinkers on the same floor also saw it and praised: "Young Master Sikong, you are really amazing!"

Zhang Yuan drank the wine in the glass and sneered in his heart.

He was 100% sure that this Young Master Sikong was a celestial being.

Was the other party really doing justice?

Maybe.

But Zhang Yuan felt that it was more like a play, and the other party's performance was really heavy.

The acting was also quite poor!

As for the so-called murderer, whether he was wronged or not, the ending was already determined.

Zhang Yuan could not interfere.

It was just that he felt very disappointed.

It was like spending a high price to watch a well-promoted blockbuster.

In the end, he felt like sitting on pins and needles, like a thorn in the back, like a fishbone stuck in the throat in the theater...

He lost his appetite for food!
