Seven days later.

Fang Ze crossed Yuzhou, entered the border of Cangzhou connected to the northwest of Yuzhou, and came all the way to Chenyang City.

There is a small part of the border between Cangzhou and Yuzhou, and there are official roads all the way.

Fang Ze's trip went very smoothly, with no pursuit from Xuanwu Palace and no other troubles.

However, he didn't see Shang Zhonglin and the others on the road either.

Perhaps Shang Zhonglin felt that taking the official route was too ostentatious, so he chose another route.

Fang Ze didn't worry too much, but went directly to Chenyang, a large city in Cangzhou, where he waited for news.

Chenyang.

When Fang Ze came to Chenyang City, he felt a very familiar feeling when he saw the brown-red city gate, the arrow stacks on the city wall, the people coming and going at the city gate, and even the shouting soldiers guarding the city.

This is a feeling of going home.

It's no wonder that the city of Chenyang is the first big city that Fangze has visited in this world in his memory. The memories from his childhood are naturally very familiar to him.

The Wanligui sect where Fang Ze is located is located in Cangzhou, in the Cangxia Mountains about 130 to 40 miles away from Chenyang.

When Fang Ze was about ten years old, he went down the mountain with his master Wu Daozi. The first city he visited was Chenyang City.

In his memory, Chenyang City was very big, with many interesting things, such as books, opera singers, street performers, delicious restaurants, fireworks and lanterns during festivals...

It is said that childhood memories are the most profound. A large part of Fang Ze's childhood and youth memories are about Chen Yang.

Later, Fang Ze officially came down from the mountain. Even though he traveled all over the world, Chenyang was only an average big city in the world, but Fang Ze still regarded this place as half of his hometown in his heart.

The same goes for Fang Ze after merging memories.

Fang Ze entered Chenyang City with cordial emotions.

Chenyang City is not small. The layout of the city is a city-type. The whole city is divided into twelve cities according to the twelve earthly branches. Each city is like a small city within the city, or a district.

Each district is basically relatively independent, with police patrols, various shops and some infrastructure. Even if it is closed, it can operate independently.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Chenyang is a combination of twelve independent but connected small towns.

After Fang Ze entered Chenyang, he rushed straight to the Yin District in the city.

Chenyang City is a big city, and each area within the city is also different.

The old Chenyang people have a saying, "The east is rich and the west is noble, the south is poor and the north is humble", which refers to the layout of the city.

Dongfu is a city in the east of Chenyang City with various warehouses and prosperous commerce. Many foreign and Chenyang local businessmen are here, and most of them are rich.

Xigui is because Chenyang's great martial arts family, government offices, and some martial arts dignitaries all live in the west of the city.

The poor in the south and the lowly in the north refer to the cities in the south of the city and the north of the city. In the south of the city, there are more people working hard to make money, while in the north of the city, there are mostly lower-class and mobile people in the city. There are also many teahouses, theaters, and hook bars... and gangs are rampant there, and there is a mixture of good and bad.

.

The Yin District that Fang Ze went to was in the west of the city, where most of the officials and martial arts dignitaries lived.

He got on a carriage that was traveling through the city, spent a few copper coins, and came to the west of the city. Then he walked quickly and soon came to a rather quiet alley with an elegant environment.

Fang Ze came to a small courtyard and knocked on the door gently.

Soon there were footsteps, and a young man's voice came from inside: "Who is it?"

"Me." Fang Ze said.

"Master?" A voice of surprise sounded in the courtyard.

The door to the courtyard opened, and the person who opened the door was a book boy who was twelve or thirteen years old and had not yet tied up his hair.

Fang Ze smiled and nodded.

"Sir! You have been away for more than a year, and I thought you would never come back!" The book boy's eyes were a little red, as if he was about to cry.

Fang Ze said: "You are quite loyal, little guy."

"Yes! I have been looking forward to your return, sir." The book boy nodded.

Fang Ze smiled.

The book boy opened the door and Fang Ze entered the courtyard.

The courtyard is not big, but it looks very elegant.

This is a three-heyuan courtyard with a total of six or seven rooms on the east, west, north and west sides. There is an old tree in the courtyard, which looks to be old.

Entering the courtyard, Fang Ze felt his heart calm down.

This is the courtyard that Fang Ze has rented for a long time, and he also regards it as his own home.

Although the sect of Wanligui Sect is not far from Chenyang, and there is a place for Fang Ze to rest in the sect, it is a sect after all.

For example, when Fang Ze just came down the mountain, in his early adulthood, he always wanted to have a place that was completely his own.

This has nothing to do with whether the sect cares for him, but having an independent space is a symbol of self-reliance and dignity.

So after completing several missions to return to the clan for thousands of miles, Fang Ze had money in hand and immediately rented this triple courtyard in Chenyang City for a long time.

Fang Ze was very satisfied with this place. The environment here is elegant. The Yin District is in the west area of ​​Chenyang City. There are many dignitaries and martial arts dignitaries here. Therefore, the patrol officers in the city are particularly attentive to public security. It is very safe and the atmosphere is good.

Of course, the rent is not cheap either. A small courtyard house costs one hundred taels of silver a year.

The annual rent for a yard of this size in the south and north of the city is thirty taels to forty taels of silver.

Fang Ze rented it for five years at a time.

This is the place where Fang Ze repairs himself, meditates, communicates with friends from all walks of life, receives some letters and gifts, and puts some personal belongings.

Although Fang Ze spends most of his time traveling around the world, having this courtyard here in Chenyang gives him something to rest in his heart.

At this time, Fang Ze entered the study room, and the book boy followed him.

"Have you received any letters in the past two days?" Fang Ze asked.

"Yes, sir, please wait for me to get it." The boy replied quickly.

Fang Ze nodded.

This scholar's name is Yin Miao. He is from Xuzhou. His family used to be a scholarly family. However, when he was young, his family was hit by a fire. All his belongings and house were burned down. His parents had no choice but to take Yin Miao to Chenyang.

relative.

However, he didn't expect that his relatives here moved to Shenjing. The family was living here and they had no money to pay for travel. However, his parents both fell ill with colds and suffered from poverty and illness. In the end, his parents died, leaving only Yin Miao.

When his parents were ill, Yin Miao had no choice but to borrow usury money. Later, his parents died, and Yin Miao, who was only in his early teens, was arrested by a gang to pay off the debt.

It happened that Fang Ze was dealing with matters in Chenyang and came across this incident. Seeing that Yin Miao had become enlightened and that the child was good-natured and diligent, he paid some money to buy him.

Of course, the gang wanted to take advantage of Fang Ze.

However, Fang Ze was stronger than them, and after a good 'talk', the gang members had no choice but to accept him.

Because Yin Miao was pretty, she might have been sold to be a pedophile, but her fate changed after she met Fang Ze, and she became loyal to Fang Ze.

Fang Ze took Yin Miao as a book boy to take care of the triple courtyard house in Chenyang. It was quite useful for Fang Ze to collect letters and do some chores.

Not long after, Yin Miao came with several letters.

Fang Ze looked at it and found that there was an envelope signed by Shang Zhonglin, so he opened it and read it first.

After a moment, Fang Ze smiled.

The letter arrived last night. Shang Zhonglin, Fu Huiyu, and Fu Huiling have already arrived in Cangzhou.

A smooth journey.

Shang Zhonglin was in a hurry because he still didn't know whether the matter in Xuanwu Palace had been resolved. He traveled through the starry night and returned to Cangzhou with the Fu brothers and sisters as quickly as possible.

Even after entering Cangzhou, Shang Zhonglin did not dare to slack off. After arriving at a city on the border of Cangzhou, he quickly wrote a letter to inform Fang Ze of his situation, and then passed the letter to the contact point for the outer disciples of the Wanligui Sect there.

After sending it, no one stopped, and he took Erxiao directly back to the Cangxia Mountain Sect.

Although Fang Ze was better at Qinggong than Shang Zhonglin and the others, because he knew that the Xuanwu Palace matter had been settled, he did not rush as fast as Shang Zhonglin and the others, but ended up being a day late.

When Fang Ze saw that Shang Zhonglin and the others were fine, the matter was settled in his mind.

You will be able to see them when you return to Cangxia Mountain in the future.

Although Shang Zhonglin usually behaves like a wealthy man, he is quite reliable when something happens, and he handled the matter well this time.

Fang Ze nodded slightly.

He read several other letters.

It was a letter from a few old friends I met in the martial arts world. It was nothing important, just to keep in touch with each other, share some news about the martial arts world, or discuss the difficulties encountered in practice.

Fang Ze didn't feel anxious after seeing it.

To ensure the safety of his junior brothers and sisters, Fang Ze only has two important things on his hands at the moment.

One is to return to the sect and wait for master Wu Daozi to return from Shaolin, so that he can obtain from the master the secret method of the sect that Fang Ze wants to change.

Fang Ze had long heard from his master that that secret technique was even more mysterious and extremely powerful than the fundamental technique he was currently practicing [Yin Yang Mixing Mysterious Technique].

Fang Ze has traveled around the world in recent years and has gained a lot of knowledge.
