Chapter 16 The heroine spares her life!

Xihe City is the seat of Liaoxi County, located about fifty miles south of Qingquan Town.

If you go by water, it will be relatively closer.

The famous Liaoxi Academy is located in Xihe City.

Li Cheng thought for a moment after hearing this, but didn't care about anything.

Previously, it was revealed that there was a master of the fifth level Tongxuan Realm sitting in the Liaoxi Academy.

But as far as Li Cheng knew, the other party had been secretly transferred back to Jixia Academy a month ago.

As for the new caregiver, he will not arrive until next spring at the earliest.

In other words,
The current Xihe City is lacking in high-end combat power.

As long as they don't arrogantly kill the Liaoxi governor, they can basically roam around the city as they please.

Thinking of this, Li Cheng looked at Xiang Yi's calm expression again, lowered his voice and said tentatively:
"Xihe City is, after all, an important border town. Will there be practitioners from the Tongxuan Realm in charge?"

Hearing this, Xiang Yi shook his head slightly:
"No."

After recalling it, she did not hide anything and added with a candid look:

"Xihe City doesn't even have a sixth-grade person at this time."

Li Cheng couldn't help but be surprised by these words.

He could easily obtain some inside information by virtue of his status as the senior brother of Jiangnan Academy.

But for most people, it costs a lot of material and financial resources, and they may not be able to find out.

Even the eldest daughter of the Xiang family, who is the head of the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes, would never know such detailed information.

And how did Xiaoyi know?
As soon as this idea emerged, it lingered in Li Cheng's mind.

For the first time, he was so curious about his wife's identity.

And while the two of them were silent,
In the thick night outside the courtyard wall, there was finally some movement.

crunch.

The two iron-covered courtyard doors were slowly pushed open.

A dozen masked men dressed in black rushed in quickly, causing the people in the courtyard to tremble.

When the leader saw Xiang Yi facing him from a distance, his dark face suddenly lit up with joy.

He walked quickly through the crowd, came to Xiang Yi, bent down and saluted.

Under the wide bamboo hat, his wild and innocent smile could not be concealed:
"Artai's visit to the palace... eldest lady."

"Long time no see, Uncle Tai."

Seeing the other party, Xiang Yi's cold tone was rarely filled with warmth:

"Sorry, there were many people at the river yesterday, so I couldn't say hello to you."

"What are you talking about, Miss?

This old servant will be extremely happy to see you safe and sound, young lady..."

The two exchanged pleasantries, and Uncle Tai turned to look at Li Cheng, smiling slightly and saying:

"Young hero, we meet again."

"Yes, senior." Li Cheng replied calmly, neither humble nor arrogant:
"Earlier, the boy was so blind that he didn't recognize that the senior was a fourth-grade expert."

"Haha," Uncle Tai smiled heartily, and the big bags under his eyes shook:

"Young hero, I still like the way you called me uncle before."

"Okay, Uncle Ji."

Uncle Tai:......

"Ahem, well, when traveling around the world, it's inevitable to use a pseudonym," Uncle Tai explained with some embarrassment:

"You are the same as the eldest lady, just call me Uncle Tai."

"Okay, Uncle Tai."

Regarding Uncle Tai's use of a pseudonym, Li Cheng was not surprised at all. Instead, he thought it was normal.

How can a person wander in the rivers and lakes without getting stabbed and use a trumpet to save his life?

No, is there really anyone who can't survive without a trumpet?
As his mind was racing, Li Cheng heard Uncle Tai in front of him say in a low voice:

"Miss, as per your instructions, the boat is ready. Mr. Zhishi is waiting for you over there."

"Thank you."

Hearing this, Xiang Yi stretched out his slender jade fingers and tugged at Li Cheng's gold-embroidered cuffs:
"Let's go."

"it is good."

Li Cheng looked at the girl's face, which was still pure and beautiful even though she was wearing a veil, and chuckled softly as he walked:

"This man named Mr. Cheese should be very interesting."

Hearing this, Xiang Yi recalled the past carefully, then shook his head slightly:
"Uncle Dong...that is, Mr. Zhishi, is actually very boring."

As she spoke, the flowing crimson hairband on the back of her head swayed gently along with her long ponytail.

Li Cheng looked at this scene with a smile, and then said: "But his name..."

"What's wrong with this title?"

"There are just some..."

After exchanging a few words, Li Cheng suddenly realized that he had mistaken the other party's title.

Xiang Yi, who had already walked out of the hospital, looked at the stars in the distance and said lightly:
"Then, what is the cheese you are talking about?"

Li Cheng turned his head and glanced. The girl's eyes were more dazzling than the stars. She smiled and said:

"Hmm...cheese is very yellow, sticky, and has a salty smell."

Xiang Yi: (O_O)?
……

……

Xihe City is basically very quiet late at night.

Except for a few Goulan restaurants on certain streets that were still open for business, the rest of the city was dark.

East of the city.

In a well-decorated mansion near the prefect's mansion.

Dozens of candles were burning faintly in the most luxurious room in the house.

Xu Jie, who has just turned [-] and has thinning hair, is lying on a large carved wooden bed.

He sat on the bedside, staring blankly ahead, as if he had entered a state of desirelessness.

For some reason, at this moment, he subconsciously felt that something was missing between his index finger and middle finger.

In Xu Jie's arms, a young woman with fair skin and delicate appearance was drawing circles on his chest with her fingers:

"Brother Jie, you can't ignore Lao Ba, he is the child's biological uncle..."

"I know, I know," Xu Jie replied impatiently, thinking of something, and asked in addition:
"That little girl named... oh yes, Wan'er, have you made arrangements?"

"Well, I've found a decent family for her. The couple are both honest and honest. I'll send her there in a few days."

When answering this, the woman's voice was sour, mixed with unconcealable jealousy.

She herself was born into a poor person, and she happened to be favored by Xu Jie, so she avoided the fate of living in the world.

But after becoming Mrs. Ru, she was actually afraid that the women who were abducted would have a good ending.

When she has nothing to do, she often takes pleasure in torturing those poor women.

It seems that seeing them unhappy makes him happy.

Hearing this, Xu Jie's eyes regained some vitality and seriously warned:
"Hurry up and do it! Who knows if that great master will suddenly come over to have a look on a whim."

"I know, I'll send him there myself when it gets daylight."

Although the woman was very reluctant, she did not dare to disobey Xu Jie's decision.

She thought for a moment and said casually: "Didn't I say that there was another woman in black clothes..."

"Ha," Xu Jie smiled contemptuously, looking down at the woman's face, with some interest in his eyes:

"A mere prostitute should stay at home and take care of her children. Why should she go out and run around when she has nothing to do?"

Touching Xu Jie's heated gaze, the woman said quite sensibly:

"Brother Jie, I also want to give you another child..."

"If that's the case, then what are you waiting for!"

"No! Brother Jie..."

Whoa!
Just when Xu Jie was showing great respect to the woman, all the wooden doors in the room were suddenly blown open by the strong wind.

In an instant, most of the candles in the room were extinguished.

Through the open door frame, Xu Jie saw the girl who appeared like a murderer in the dark night, and immediately shouted loudly without thinking:
"Woman, spare your life!"
