Qin Xiao opened his eyes wide and couldn't believe it.

Mu Yeji helped her break through to the second level?

Will she help herself?

"Grandma Hongye, please check carefully for me. Are there any sequelae?" Although Qin Xiao knew that Hongye was very young, she kept pretending to be an old woman, so it was difficult to change her name.

Hongye sneered and said: "Sequelae? You have to know that the marrow washing hand is a unique skill of Sword Valley, and many people can only ask for it. That woman is a master of the Zhongtian realm, and she is really treating you well with her marrow washing hand after all the effort.

If it weren't for her, no one in the world would be able to help you break through to the second level so quickly."

Qin Xiao sighed inwardly.

Ever since I met Mu Yeji for the first time, I had some prejudices against her character.

I just didn't expect that she would help him so much.

There is no need to be too sarcastic towards her in the future.

However, he was still very excited when he broke through to the second level. He said: "I can smash the chair because I broke through to the second level, right?"

"Otherwise, what do you think is the reason?" Hongye said lightly: "Last time I checked your meridians, although you can achieve such achievements in just a few days by practicing [Ancient Intention and Qi Jue], it is probably because your meridians are abnormal.

Therefore, judging from the situation at that time, it is not easy for you to break through to the second level."

"What are the benefits of the second grade?"

"The condition for the second level is that the meridians throughout the body are unobstructed and the shackles existing in the meridians have been opened up." Hongye explained this quite patiently: "As long as your body is full of true energy, you can adjust the true energy at any time. You can pat the chair and say

When you exert your strength, does the true energy follow your thoughts and quickly reach your palms?"

Qin Xiao nodded and said, "Exactly."

"Of course you are much stronger than ordinary people." Hongye said calmly: "But you have just entered the second level, and you are not strong enough to deal with people in the martial arts, so there is no need to let others know your cultivation level."

Qin Xiao knew that Hongye had good intentions, and was worried that he would be proud of his youth and show off to others after entering the second rank.

"Is there anything else?" Hongye asked calmly when he saw that Qin Xiao had no intention of leaving.

Although Qin Xiao had countless questions about Hong Ye, Hong Ye had already told him that he should not ask nonsense questions, so he knew that if he asked questions, not only would he not get answers, but he would also probably anger Hong Ye, so he could only laugh and said: "

fine."

Hongye didn't say anything, which naturally meant that he had issued an order to expel the guests.

Qin Xiao was a little embarrassed and turned to leave. Suddenly he thought of something and took out two banknotes from his arms and handed them over: "It seems that the business of your oil shop is not very good. If you take this little money, you will have more money."

"No need." Hongye was still cold: "Don't come here if you have nothing to do. It's best not to come here if you have something to do."

Qin Xiao smiled bitterly in his heart.

Although he was grateful to Hongye and trusted him deep down in his heart, Hongye's cold personality really made him uncomfortable.

Oddly enough, the two women who are close to me, the younger sister-in-law is too noisy and Hongye is too cold, so they are not normal.

Coming out of the alley, Mumu Alley is as deserted as ever.

He raised his head and looked at the moonlight, knowing that most likely Mu Yeji had gone out to gamble again.

She was so addicted to gambling that she dared to go to a gambling shop even if she only had a few taels of silver in her hand. Now that she had hundreds of taels of silver in her hand, there was no need to stay indoors.

However, the junior aunt helped him break through to the second level, which was finally a good thing. There were more than a dozen gambling houses in the city. Qin Xiao knew that there had just been a big fuss at the Golden Hook Gambling House, and Mu Yeji would never go there again.

, it is time-consuming and labor-intensive to search every gambling den in the city, and there is no need to look for it yourself. After all, with the skills of the young aunt, there are probably not many people in Turtle City who can deal with her.

Instead of going back to the house directly, Qin Xiao thought that he had been sleeping at home during the day, and Niu Zhi was there to take care of him, so there should be no problem, but he didn't know how Meng Zimo was doing now.

Meng Zimo left the Duwei Mansion and had to return to the pass at any time. Qin Xiao knew that Meng Zimo was usually generous and forthright, but if anyone encountered difficulties among his horses, Meng Zimo was always generous. Although his salary was worse than that of ordinary government officials

It costs more, but it is spent faster than anyone else, and there is no money left at all.

This time he was preparing to enter the customs. It would be very hard if he didn't have any money. Qin Xiao had already made up his mind to give Meng Zimo some silver taels so that he would not suffer everywhere after entering the customs. At this time, he had thousands of taels in his arms.

The banknotes gave me full confidence. Not to mention whether to hand over all the banknotes to Han Yunong, but for Meng Zimo, he had to send a few hundred taels of silver.

He was afraid that Meng Zimo would leave without saying goodbye, and he could not see him off yet, so he went directly to Meng Zimo's house without delay.

It was getting late, and there were few pedestrians on the streets.

When Qin Xiao arrived at Meng Zimo's residence, it was already Haishi, and at this time in Turtle City, except for music shops and gambling houses, most of them were closed for rest, and there were almost no pedestrians on the streets.

Coming from the alley, Meng Zimo's residence was diagonally opposite. Qin Xiao was about to pass by when he heard a "creak" sound. Meng Zimo happened to come out of the house. Qin Xiao was so happy that he secretly thought that he would sleep at home all day.

Fortunately, things were not delayed. Just as he was about to step forward, he suddenly discovered that Meng Zimo was not dressed as usual. He was dressed in black clothes and his head was wrapped tightly, leaving only a pair of eyes outside.

Qin Xiao was startled and surprised.

Ever since I met Meng Zimo, I have almost always seen him in official uniforms, and rarely even in casual clothes, not to mention his current strange attire.

This is obviously a night-walking outfit. Of course Qin Xiao also knows that by going out in this outfit, he naturally hopes that his true face will not be seen.

Meng Zimo didn't hesitate at all, and left quickly after going out.

Qin Xiao was shocked. If Meng Zimo wanted to leave Turtle City without saying goodbye, it would certainly not be possible for him to be dressed like this. Even if he had something important to do, he would not need to wear night clothes to cover his true appearance. To do so, of course, he must

Do things you don't want to be known for.

Seeing that Meng Zimo's figure was about to disappear, Qin Xiao quickly followed him without thinking too much.

He had just received the help of his junior aunt, and his martial arts cultivation had broken through to the second level. Although he was still in the Small Heaven Realm, for ordinary people, whether it was senselessness or speed and strength, it was far beyond.

Meng Zimo has a lot of practical combat experience and is very good at swordsmanship, but after all, he has never practiced martial arts. His kung fu is practiced in battle formations. He is naturally a warrior when he goes into battle to kill enemies, but compared with those in martial arts, he is weak.

A lot.

Qin Xiao did not dare to follow too closely for fear of being discovered by Meng Zimo.

In order not to get lost, he took out the blood pills Hong Ye prepared for himself and took one.

The blood pill is made from dog blood, which can naturally greatly enhance Qin Xiao's sense of smell and vision in the dark.

He just stared at Meng Zimo from a distance, not letting him out of his sight. Meng Zimo walked from a remote place all the way. Fortunately, there were no people on the street at this time, so no one paid attention.

In fact, even if you are really seen, in a place like Turtle City where people are mixed, it is not uncommon for someone to walk at night. If you see someone, just pretend you haven't seen it. No one wants to get into trouble and ask for trouble.

Walking through the streets and alleys, Qin Xiao followed Meng Zimo, becoming more and more strange. He didn't know what Meng Zimo's intention was in wearing night clothes in the middle of the night.

After a while, we arrived at the Yudai River.

The Yudai River is a tributary from the Changling Mountains. It passes through the city and divides Turtle City into two parts, east and west.

The two sides of the Yudai River are naturally the most prosperous places in the city, with many brothels and music houses located there.

The folk customs in Xiling are fierce, unlike the arty Jiangnan in Guan Nei. There are many painted boats on the inland rivers in the south of the Yangtze River, but there have never been painted boats on the Yudai River. Moreover, as the main water source in the city, the Zhenhou Mansion has always been very strict about the management of the Yudai River.

People are not allowed to play in the river, and the Yudai River flows day and night, so the water is clear.

Whenever night falls, there are drunken orioles singing and dancing on both sides of the river, and the sound of music can be heard far away. However, once it enters Haishi, the music becomes quiet. After all, in addition to listening to music and dancing, the most important thing for the guests is to go to Wushan with the United States.

A moment of spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold.

When Qin Xiao followed Meng Zimo to the Yudai River, he was a little surprised. Although he had never walked into those places, he had often heard about them in the yamen and knew that the Yudai River was mainly a place for fun.

Could it be that Meng Zimo went to the Yudai River to have fun?

If that's really the case, there's no need to dress up like that.

But the most important thing is that Qin Xiao knows that these brothels cost a lot of money. With Meng Zimo's financial resources, it seems that he does not have the strength to enter the doors of these brothels.

However, the brothel music houses had almost closed their doors at this time. After all, it was already late at night, and the guests still wanted to hurry up and get down to business, so there was no more music coming from both sides of the river.

Qin Xiao saw Meng Zimo arrive at the river. He used the cover of the big tree by the river to move forward slowly. He only reached a music studio and then leaned against a big tree and stopped moving.

Qin Xiao followed from a distance, being more careful than Meng Zimo, and was not discovered by Meng Zimo from the beginning to the end.

He also hid behind a big tree, separated from Meng Zimo by four or five trees. Although the lights of Lefang were vaguely illuminated, it was very dark after all. Qin Xiao could see Meng Zimo clearly, but at such a distance,

But it was difficult for Meng Zimo to find Qin Xiao.

Qin Xiao looked from a distance and saw Meng Zimo listening in front of a music studio called "Xiaoyaofang", and wondered to himself whether Meng Zimo's goal was Xiaoyaofang?

Since he couldn't have come to have a happy time, what was the purpose of targeting Xiaoyaofang?

There were still faint sounds of laughter and laughter in Xiaoyaofang, but after a while of burning incense, Qin Xiao saw that many of the lights in Xiaoyaofang were extinguished, and the sounds became smaller and smaller, until finally there was no sound anymore.

Meng Zimo was very calm and used the big tree as a cover. He clung to the big tree from beginning to end, motionless.

Qin Xiao was almost sleepy after waiting, and finally saw Meng Zimo walking out from behind the big tree, staring at Xiaoyao Fang, and then looked around, as if he was sure that no one had discovered him, and then ran straight to Xiaoyao Fang quickly.
