Chapter 54 The provincial capital

When the sun set in the west, this carriage with the royal seal of the Wu Kingdom stopped at the gate of the provincial capital.

Originally, Qin Shu and others had no intention of staying in the provincial capital, but Yun Xianzi's reconstruction now required a lot of resources, so they had to go to the provincial capital to purchase some.

The royal seal on the carriage was too eye-catching. As soon as it stopped at the gate of the provincial capital, there were city gate guards heading into the city at high speed.

Qin Shu and a few others had just gotten off the carriage when a large group of people rushed into the city, led by an old man in rather gorgeous robes.

"Where are you? If you leave, I will have to skin you!" Far away, Qin Shu and the others heard the old man cursing.

Qin Shu raised his eyebrows and glanced at Wu Ying and Yun Xianzi. The meaning couldn't be more obvious. Are all the lords of the provincial capitals of your Wu Kingdom like this?

Wu Ying's cheeks turned slightly red when Qin Shu saw him, while Yun Xianzi shouted angrily at the group of people: "What are you doing? What are you doing? There are so many of us, can't you see?"

Yun Xianzi's voice was particularly harsh at the quiet city gate. The old man looked over and hurriedly ran over with the group of people behind him.

When he saw clearly the royal seal on the carriage behind Qin Shu, as well as the clothes worn by Wu Ying and Yun Xianzi, the smile on the old man's face became much more sincere, and he saluted Wu Ying and Yun Xianzi.

"I, Fang Shao, have met you two!"

As the lord of the provincial capital, Fang Shao could naturally see that the clothes worn by Wu Ying and Yun Xianzi were of special tribute style, so they must be worn by celebrities in front of Emperor Wu, so he naturally had to treat them well.

As for the other two people, Fang Shao ignored them intentionally or unintentionally. They were just slaves, so don't worry about them.

Fang Shao's gesture was noticed by not only Wu Ying, but also Yun Xianzi, who was currently uncultivated. They looked at each other and shook their heads secretly. The lord of the provincial capital was really ignorant of the true gods.

As for Qin Shu, even if he noticed it, he wouldn't care. At this moment, he was looking at the city in trance.

"I have long heard that there are adults from the royal family who are going to the Hundred Thousand Mountains via the provincial capital. I have been looking forward to it day and night, and finally I'm waiting for you two!" After some pleasantries, Fang Shao finally got to the point.

"Don't you know your names?"

"Yun Xianzi." When Yun Xianzi's name came out, Fang Shao's eyes widened. Who in the Wu Kingdom had not heard of the name of the great national master at that time?

"Who is this?"

One was a great national master of the day, so how noble was the other? Fang Shao became more and more respectful.

"Wu Ying!"

This name was not familiar to him, but his surname was Wu and he was from the royal family. All the information was gathered in Fang Shao's mind and he came to a conclusion that made his hands tremble.

This is a princess!

As soon as the two people reported their names, the group of officials, large and small, behind Fang Shao instantly became noisy, and there was a chorus of greetings to the imperial master and the princess.

Just when Fang Shao was about to say something, Qin Shu, who had come back to his senses, frowned.

"Is it fun to just stand around? Let's go to town!"

The sudden voice caused a sudden silence in the place filled with compliments and greetings, and an official jumped out instantly, "How outrageous! Do you have the right to speak as a slave here?!"

"You are so presumptuous!" Before Qin Shu could say anything, Wu Ying's face suddenly darkened. He waved his sleeves and robes, and a wave of air swept over and hit the official hard.

In an instant, the official flew backwards, fell to the ground and rolled several times before stopping, with blood bleeding from the corner of his mouth.

"Is it your benefactor that you can point your fingers at?" Wu Ying no longer behaved like a weak and ladylike person in front of Qin Shu. Her eyes widened slightly, showing a different kind of majesty.

Seeing this, Fang Shao swallowed back the scolding that came to his lips, and looked at Qin Shu, whose expression remained unchanged, with some surprise and uncertainty. Is this young man the princess's benefactor?

Just when Fang Shao was about to say something to make up for his previous ignorance, Qin Shu suddenly walked towards the city.

Around him, Wu Ying and others followed behind without thinking. Fang Shao was stunned for a moment, and then he hurriedly followed with these officials, large and small.

Hearing the dense footsteps behind him, Qin Shu shook his head and suddenly regretted traveling with these two noble men of the Wu Kingdom.

The official who scolded him was forgotten by everyone, intentionally or unintentionally. It was foreseeable that his official career was finally over.

In the end, unable to resist Fang Shao's enthusiasm, Wu Ying and Yun Xianzi went to the City Lord's Mansion. As for Qin Shu, he was not interested in the City Lord's Mansion and immediately refused the invitation and wandered around the provincial capital.

Originally, Wu Ying had to stay with Qin Shu, but she was afraid that Qin Shu would leave right away.

No matter what, Wu Ying had to follow Qin Shu. In desperation, Qin Shu had no choice but to take Tudaozi to Wu Ying and take him to the city lord's palace as a hostage, and then sent Wu Ying and Yun Xianzi away.

The provincial capital is indeed much more prosperous than Qingshi City. There are monks everywhere on the road. The weak ones have foundations and the strong ones have golden elixirs. On both sides of the road, there are dazzling shops with an endless stream of monks coming in and out.

While he was shopping, Qin Shu heard a lot of noise in front of a shop, and in the distance, he heard discussions.

"Hiss! It's really miserable..."

"I heard that this person is only in the foundation building stage, but he has a space ring!"

"Space ring!" Everyone around was shocked. This thing is extremely valuable, and I'm afraid the city lord's palace may not even have it.

"Hey, this guy doesn't know how to show off his wealth. Now he is being targeted." Someone gloated.

Qin Shu squeezed through the crowd, and what he saw was a man covered in blood lying on the ground. There were two burly men standing beside him, accepting the looks of awe and fear from everyone with a cold face.

Because they all have a silver medal with an eagle pattern on their chests, which is the symbol of the Nine Eagles Kingdom, a close neighbor of the Wu Kingdom.

Qin Shu glanced at the person on the ground, shook his head immediately, and planned to turn around and leave. But thinking back, he became more and more familiar with it, and it took him a while to recognize him, "Kong Jie?"

This person was obviously a member of the team of monks when Qin Shu entered the Shiwan Mountain.

Now that he knew each other, Qin Shu stopped when he turned to leave and walked towards the two burly men in the field, "You two, do you know what he committed and was beaten like this?"

The two burly men glanced at Qin Shu, and one of them spoke.

"This person's name is Kong Jie. He has committed a heinous crime. He dared to steal the space ring of our ambassador from the Nine Eagles Country. We took it down on the spot and put it on display here!"

Qin Shu looked at him and asked, "What about the space ring?"

"The space ring has been taken away by his accomplices!" The man said, and then shouted to the crowd around him.
