Chapter 179 Manchi City

Manchi City, the city closest to Zhongzhou in the southern border. ♜♦  ♗♦

Because it is the gateway to the southern border, Manchi City is very prosperous, with a constant stream of merchants coming and going.

"Master, try it, it tastes very good." Qing'er was holding a bowl of special snacks, and her nature as a foodie was undoubtedly revealed.

In contrast, Yingying was much more restrained. She didn't even bother to look at the snack stalls on the street, and walked directly into the clothing store, took down a blue and red robe, looked at it, and then paid directly for it.

"Do you know how to bargain? Look at how happy the boss of that store is smiling." Han Xu took the bag from Yingying's hand and complained.

"You are reluctant to pay a little money for the maid?" Yingying said neither servile nor arrogant. Her attitude towards Han Xu was always simple, direct and individual.

"Of course not." Han Xu looked at Qing'er and Yingying's expectant faces and gritted his teeth to make a decision.

"Okay, I've decided that today's theme is shopping. Buy everything you like."

"Master is awesome!" Qing'er cheered, and then took Yingying to go shopping, but she always had one more snack in her hand than Yingying.

Along the way, Han Xu, the young master, had more and more bags in his hand, so he simply hired a carriage to follow him and put the spoils.

With the carriage, Han Xu naturally sat on it. Nine out of ten men do this when they go shopping.

He looked at Qing'er and Yingying's heartfelt smiles and felt happy.

The girls around him had endured hardships that their peers could not imagine. When they were in the royal city, they had been living under the shadow of their fate being controlled by others. They didn't know what would happen tomorrow until Han Xu appeared and saved them one by one from the devil.

The long-term repressed life made each of them bury a lot of pain in their hearts. They never told Han Xu about these pains, because they knew that Han Xu also had many secrets in his heart.

These pains have been kept in their hearts, fermenting and torturing each of them.

So, Han Xu let them go wild this time. He knew that everyone needed to vent, Qing'er and Yingying needed it, and he also needed it.

Moreover, why not make the people you care about happy?

Qing'er and Yingying held hands, as if they had become innocent and simple girls, talking and laughing, attracting countless eyes.

Even several men took the initiative to approach them, but after being rejected, they did not continue to pester them.

The folk customs in the southern border are relatively simple and direct. If men and women have a good impression of each other, they will boldly express their feelings. Even if they fail, they will generously bless each other.

"This young man, you must be from Zhongzhou." The driver saw that Han Xu was bored, so he approached him.

"Well, this is our first time in the South." Han Xu said with a smile, "Old man, is there anything worth seeing in Manchi City?"

"There are many places with beautiful scenery in the cities in the South, but if you come to the South for the first time, you must go to the Wushen Temple."

"Why is that?"

"Wu Shen is the god worshipped by every person in the South. He blesses the South with good weather and good harvests, and the people are happy and healthy."

"Is it really that powerful?"

"Of course, young man, although you are my employer, I still have to warn you that you can do anything in the South, but you can't disrespect Wu Shen, otherwise everyone will be your enemy."

"Thank you for reminding me, old man. I have always respected other people's beliefs." Han Xu was a little emotional after hearing this. In fact, Bai Yiyi's intelligence has mentioned that Wu Shen Cult has a high status in the South, but Han Xu didn't expect that this status could reach the level of being believed by the whole people.

No wonder King Wei needs to ask the court for someone to look after Wu Shen Cult.

"Young man, you came at the right time. There will be a blessing ceremony at the Wushen Temple tomorrow. You can go and have a look."

"Since you are here, you must go and have a look."

Han Xu also wanted to learn more about the Wushen Cult before the Tiansuan was opened.

This mission is simple to say, just to monitor, but Han Xu always has an inexplicable feeling, so it is better to be careful. After all, the information collected by Bai Yiyi is all on the surface.

The Wushen Cult, which can make everyone in the southern border believe in it, is definitely not a simple sect.

After a sweep, the three of them took a carriage back to the inn and counted the spoils. Han Xu found that although the two bought a lot of things, most of them were bought for him, which made him feel a little warm in his heart.

While the two were stunned, Han Xu waved his hand, and all the things in the room disappeared.

"Master?"

"What the hell?"

Han Xu patted his gem-studded belt. Qing'er and Yingying only felt a slight vibration in the space, and then the set of clothes that had just disappeared appeared in Han Xu's hands.

"You look like you haven't seen the world before. This is a space gem. It can hold a lot of things." Han Xu explained.

Yingying immediately put away her expression and said, "We are just cooperating with you in acting to satisfy your ridiculous vanity."

As she said that, she took out a hairpin from her necklace.

"You have already pretended so much, can't you pretend a little more?" Han Xu said, "We are all tired today. Go back and rest early. Let's go to the Wushen Temple tomorrow."

In the vast mountains, Zonggou led two monks through. His red nose was particularly conspicuous, waving.

"Donor, we have just walked this road." Kuzhi couldn't help but say that they had followed Zonggou around the mountains for several times.

Zonggou was a little furious, but he said with all his strength: "This bastard deliberately left a lot of fake auras to confuse me, but this saint will always find you."

When he found Kuzhi and Kuhui, Han Xu guessed that there was a tracking expert following them, otherwise he would not have come so quickly.

So on the way here, he deliberately left many traces with Buddhist spiritual power, and they were all random, without any pattern to follow, enough to delay them for a while.

As for Changde, Han Xu was not worried at all. It didn't matter whether he came or not.

At night, Han Xu talked to Bai Yiyi as usual.

"Master, what you did in Chiyang City has spread throughout the royal city. Now you have become the most popular person in the royal city. Everyone in the alleys is talking about you."

"These idiots, what's there to talk about." Han Xu said, but he was actually quite proud in his heart. Anyone who has been scolded as a waste for more than ten years will think it is great to be proud one day.

Since the identity of a waste is no longer needed, just abandon it completely. Who wants to always make themselves unhappy?

Han Xu was proud for a while, and then told Bai Yiyi what happened in Qingjiang. Although the news that he killed more than a hundred people in one battle has not spread yet, it will sooner or later spread to the royal city.

Therefore, Han Xu informed Bai Yiyi in advance, and the deeper meaning was to let her spread rumors before others, saying that Han Xu killed people because he had no choice, so as not to implicate Han Luoling again.

"Master, don't worry, Yiyi knows what to do."

"I know you are smart." Han Xu said with a smile, "Yiyi, Master bought you a lot of gifts, and I will give them to you personally when I come back. You will definitely like them."

Han Xu used his brain and wanted to snatch the credit of Qing'er and Yingying, but Bai Yiyi said: "Yingying said earlier that the things were bought by her and Qing'er."

"These two guys." Han Xu said helplessly, but he didn't feel embarrassed.

After a good night's rest, Han Xu brought Qing'er and Yingying to the Wushen Temple.

Before he arrived, he was frightened by the scene in front of him.

The streets outside the Wushen Temple were crowded with people. Han Xu and his companions stood three streets away, not knowing where to go.

As a last resort, Han Xu had to use the Ghost Hidden Steps to force his way through the temple gate.
