After breakfast, Jing Le and his group continued their journey south.
"Lele, what do you think of Shadow One and the others' strength? Why don't we let Shadow Three and the others take advantage of this time to give them some good training?"
Emperor Jing received another request from his subordinates this morning, so he had no choice but to ask Jing Le.
He absolutely refused to admit that he had forgotten about it before.
Duan Feibai raised an eyebrow and actually asked.
“Sure, Shadow Three, you can teach Shadow One and the others the first plan.”
Jing Le munched on the dried meat he had bought in the previous town and said casually.
"yes."
Ying San heard Jing Le's words from afar and naturally responded.
Then, looking at Shadow One and the other Dragon Shadow Guards, he grinned.
The so-called first plan is actually the basic version of their original cultivation method, body refinement, which is suitable for ordinary people.
So for the next few days, it was Shadow Three and his group who were traveling by carriage, while Shadow One and his five companions were dragged around for exercise.
Although it's bitter, the effects are also remarkable.
They all felt their strength increase.
Time passed by as they walked and stopped, and the group arrived at Shilin Town, the border town of the southern region.
The garrison is located not far from Shilin Town.
Jing Le and his group found an inn to stay at.
"Sir, I'll go contact the people here first."
"Go."
After Yingyi finished speaking, she left the inn, while Emperor Jing took Jing Le to rest.
After putting their things away, Jing Le saw that it was still early and the customs here were different from those in the capital, so she took Emperor Jing out for a stroll.
"Father, let's go. We've finally come out for a while, let's go out and see the beautiful scenery here."
"good."
Emperor Jing carried Jing Le out the door.
"Selling steamed buns! Fresh meat buns!"
"Please come in, sir/madam. Our shop is full of jewelry from the capital..."
"Candied hawthorn, candied hawthorn..."
"Grandpa, give me two skewers of candied hawthorns."
Jingyue called out to the old man selling candied hawthorns.
"Okay, here you go, two skewers."
The old man handed two strings of candied hawthorns to Jing Le, and Emperor Jing stepped forward to give him silver.
Ying San and his group were hiding in the shadows, so the person who paid the bill became Emperor Jing.
"Here you are, Brother Feibai."
Jing Le handed another string of coins to Duan Feibai.
"Uh, let's give it to Xiaobai, look how greedy it is."
Duan Feibai took the candied hawthorn and handed it directly to the white tiger in his arms.
The white tiger looked at the bright red candied hawthorns with a puzzled expression. When did it start craving them?
Just then, the once bustling street suddenly became chaotic.
"Quick, quick, woman, hide! Zhong Qiu is here, and he's brought several Taoist priests with him..."
As soon as the sound came, all the women who were shopping and setting up stalls on the street hid. This scene surprised Jing Le and the others, who were puzzled.
After looking around, there wasn't a single girl among them, except for Jing Le, of course.
The old man selling candied hawthorns, who had just received the money, saw that Jing Le and his companions were motionless and knew that they must be from out of town.
"Little one, come here quickly, hide here, and don't come out."
He pulled Jing Le aside and hid her in a corner, then had Emperor Jing and Duan Feibai, the three of them, shield Jing Le behind them.
What's going on? Could it be that this Zhong Qiu is ashamed to be around women?
[Also, why are the people here so afraid of Zhongqiu? It's strange, so very strange.]
Jing Le wasn't in a hurry; she hid behind them and started munching on a candied hawthorn.
Emperor Jing, without any airs, kindly inquired of the old man, "Old man, what exactly is going on? Could you please explain?"
"Alas, Zhong Qiu is the city lord's son. He used to be a gentle and refined young man, very popular with women, but..."
The old man explained in a low voice.
It turns out that Zhong Qiu, the son of the city lord, used to be a gentle and refined young master, but everything changed a month ago.
His fiancée disappeared before she returned to the city, passing near Bijin Valley (the mountain where the iron mine was located).
Zhong Qiu led a group to search for them, but they did not return overnight.
When they finally came back, things changed. They would go crazy whenever they saw anyone, whether it was a child or an old woman.
He was shouting that he was going to kill her, you slut.
I almost killed someone that day.
The entire city was controlled by the city lord, and they dared not go to other places to serve as high-ranking officials; they could only silently endure it.
For the past month, they have lived in fear brought about by Zhongqiu.
In the past two days, Zhong Qiu suddenly found a lot of Taoist priests, saying he was going to Bijin Valley, and now no one dares to mess with him.
Just then, Zhong Qiu arrived with several people who looked like Taoist priests.
Could the Bijin Valley they mentioned be their destination, the iron mine?
Jing Le was still eating candied hawthorn, but the street was too quiet at the moment, making her voice seem too loud.
"Who's there? Come out."
Zhong Qiu frowned and shouted sternly.
"Hehe, Young Master Zhong, there's a little girl over there."
The accompanying Taoist priest suddenly smiled obsequiously and pointed in Jing Le's direction.
"Woman, ugh, she's got a death wish."
A black mist flashed in Zhong Qiu's pupils, and he suddenly burst forth, attacking towards Jing Le's direction.
[Hmm? Demonic energy just appeared on Zhong Qiu. Good heavens, there are demons here.]
Jing Le took a big bite of the candied hawthorn with a crunch, her eyes lingering.
"Ah, Young Master Zhong, please don't!"
The old man selling candied hawthorns was the first to stand in front of Jing Le and the others.
"bump!"
"roll!"
The old man, who thought he was going to die, opened his eyes and saw Shadow Three standing in front of him with a sword.
Zhong Qiu was knocked to the ground.
