Chapter 171: Set Off for the Southern Territory

Three days later, Han Xu set off for the southern border.

Outside the city gate, Bai Yiyi, Han Xu and the other two waved goodbye, and Han Xu hugged her reluctantly.

He really couldn't bear to leave Bai Yiyi. Seeing that the Misty Steps would be downloaded in a few days, the system would be upgraded at that time, but the Emperor Wu arranged a task for him at this critical juncture.

He had to go, because this mission was arranged by Han Luoling after all, so that Han Xu could get credit. It would be natural for him to be promoted after returning.

So, Han Xu had to embark on this journey with joy and go to the southern border to experience the local customs and customs.

Since the tone of the tour was determined, it was natural that beautiful women would accompany him. Qing'er, who had always served Han Xu in his daily life, would naturally accompany him.

In addition to Qing'er, Han Xu also brought Yingying with him. He was worried about leaving Yingying in the royal city. He had to guard against Wu Xiuren's revenge. That guy got the demon-subduing pestle and was in the limelight. Now he looked down on everyone. Even Wu Xiuxian tried to avoid direct conflict with him.

Of course, Han Xu was accompanied by the third worshiper, Changde.

This respected elder did not expect that Emperor Wu would order him to protect Han Xu. Looking at the entire dynasty, I am afraid that few young people have such treatment.

Several people traveled in a carriage. Along the way, Han Xu hugged Qing'er and Yingying, talking and laughing with them, and often laughed happily.

And Changde had to sit alone, closing his eyes, with a dark face, and protesting with silence.

Surrounded by this atmosphere, even if he wanted to practice, he could not calm down.

Perhaps he felt a silent anger, Han Xu stopped laughing, but this did not prevent him from enjoying the massage of Qing'er and Yingying.

Han Xu felt that Chang De was his elder, so he should pay attention to him. After all, the journey was long, and they would have to spend a long time together.

"Senior, do you know how to play mahjong?" Han Xu asked suddenly.

"What is mahjong?" Chang De said with his eyes closed, "I have never heard of it."

"Mahjong is a game used to kill time and has the nature of gambling. It is very addictive and it is difficult to stop once you start. I thought you knew how to play mahjong."

"I never care about fun and enjoyment. Why do you think I can?"

"Because you look like a big shot."

Qing'er and Yingying tried hard to hold back their laughter. After getting along with Han Xu for a long time, they naturally understood some of Han Xu's special sentences. Han Xu even asked them to play mahjong. When they were bored on weekdays, they would get together to learn gambling skills.

"Two thousand five hundred and eighty thousand?" Chang De asked in confusion, "What does that mean?"

"It probably means that you are very strong." Han Xu said affirmatively, "Yes, it means that you are very strong."

"Humph." Chang De could tell that the two thousand five hundred and eighty thousand Han Xu said was not a compliment, but he didn't understand, so he had to suffer in silence.

Originally, such a small matter was not worth his anger, but when he thought about protecting this hateful boy all the way, Chang De wanted to beat Han Xu up.

In order to make Chang De more present, Han Xu would talk to him from time to time along the way, and each time Chang De would be the first to fall silent.

In the evening, they arrived at Chiyang City, a city closest to the Royal City. Because it was only a day's journey from the Royal City, Chiyang City was very large and could be ranked in the top ten among the hundreds of cities in the Dawu Dynasty.

"Just rest here." Han Xu said to the driver, "Go directly to the best restaurant here, have a good meal and relax."

The driver was the royal driver of the palace. He was very capable and familiar with the characteristics of various places. He took Han Xu and others to the best restaurant in Chiyang City, Qianfanlou.

As soon as he heard the name, he knew that it was the property of Baige Chamber of Commerce. Qianfanlou was spread all over the major cities of the Dawu Dynasty. Even in the royal city, it was one of the best restaurants, and the top dignitaries often visited it.

Han Xu liked to hang out in the four pavilions, so he went there less often.

Before getting off the car, a maid came to greet him.

"Dear guests, please come in!" The maid bowed and said.

"Open five upper rooms, and then take us to the best private room and serve the best wine and food."

The maid had also seen all kinds of people. When she saw Han Xu and others, she knew they were distinguished guests because they were extraordinary. How could she dare to neglect them? She quickly invited them in.

Changde shook his head, despised Han Xu's extravagance, and followed him into the restaurant.

As a tribute, his daily food and clothing are naturally top-notch. If the place he went to was not good, Changde might not look down on it.

In the luxurious private room, a large table of delicacies was placed. Han Xu ate and drank without any image, and kept asking Qing'er and Yingying to eat more.

Seeing his appearance, the two little girls wanted to pretend not to know him.

The most embarrassing one was the coachman. After taking a few bites of the delicacies on the table, he hurriedly said he was tired and went back to the room to leave this place of trouble.

Changde was also quite ashamed of Han Xu's eating style, but as an extraordinary master, he had the temperament of an extraordinary master, so he would naturally not be as lenient as him.

After eating and drinking, Han Xu walked out with a burp, but he stopped not far from the door.

This is the top floor of Qianfan Tower. There are only two private rooms in total, which are set door to door. They are also the two most luxurious private rooms in Qianfan Tower. The consumption of a meal here can be as low as several hundred taels, or as high as thousands or even tens of thousands of taels. It is not something that ordinary wealthy people can afford.

At this time, the door of another private room was open, and the voices of the conversation inside could be heard clearly. The people in the room did not seem to care, and were not afraid of outsiders hearing their conversation.

"So, this Ling Fei really did everything to help her brother get promoted, and even harmed the queen."

"Otherwise, how can you say she is a witch in the Demon Palace."

"But wasn't the Demon Palace destroyed five hundred years ago?"

"Back then, the Demon Palace swept the world, and there were countless followers. It is not surprising that there were remnants left."

"Such a witch is causing chaos in the court, isn't there anyone to advise His Majesty?"

"Who dares? Now that Ling Fei is in unparalleled favor, who dares to take such a taboo."

"Humph, when I step into the extraordinary, I will definitely kill this witch with my own hands and eliminate the harm for the people."

"Mr. Li is righteous, and we admire him."

Outside the door, Han Xu had clenched his fists.

With the death of the poisonous snake, the rumors in the royal city seemed to have eased a lot. Han Xu thought that these rumors would slowly disappear over time, but he didn't expect that there were people talking about them openly outside the royal city.

And the words clearly refer to the Qingfeng Mountain incident.

In other words, someone is secretly spreading rumors.

Han Xu was furious when he thought of others saying such bad things about Han Luoling.

"Master." Qing'er and Yingying both felt Han Xu's anger and were ready. No matter what Han Xu was going to do, they would not hesitate.

Han Xu took another step and walked directly into the private room.

There were eight or nine men and women in the room. The man who said he wanted to kill Han Luoling personally, who was called Mr. Li, happened to be sitting in the main seat.

The people in the room were a little surprised to see Han Xu come in, but when those men saw Qing'er and Yingying, they couldn't hide the desire and excitement in their eyes.

But before they could speak, Han Xu took the lead and said, "Who among you has seen Ling Fei as a witch?"

"No need to answer, because I can be sure that none of you have seen it with your own eyes. You just heard some rumors and are talking nonsense here."

"Who are you?" One person slammed the table and stood up, pointing at Han Xu and scolding, "Kneel down and apologize now, and let the two girls behind you serve us well, maybe we will show mercy and let you leave intact."

After hearing this, Han Xu raised his mouth with a dangerous degree. Qing'er and Yingying were very familiar with this expression.

It was the expression of Han Xu being really angry.
