Heroes of the Fantasy World

They walked from the city gate to the city gate, and entered the city with several lines in front of them. They spent a whole morning just here.

The outer city is composed of several ancient villages, which are distributed in a fish-scale shape. The traffic on the rice paddies and the chickens and dogs are familiar. The history of their existence may be longer than the city walls of Jinyang City.

A river passes through the city and flows south along the culvert under the city wall, dividing the entire Jinyang into two. On both sides of the river, tens of millions of Jinyang people live and rest here.

It is said that Jinyang City is the place where Emperor Shenwu Gao Huan made his fortune and the land of Longxing. It has the Yellow River outside, Taihang inside, and thousands of miles of fertile fields. It has always been an important military location in the north, especially during the period of Emperor Shenwu.

If Jiangzhou is a famous city in the Southern Dynasties, then Jinyang is a well-deserved metropolis in the Northern Dynasties.

Walking into Jinyang, you will see a dazzling array of hundreds of alleys, crowded with people everywhere, and row upon row of large and small shops, there are so many tea sellers, artisans, and brokers with hanging lanterns, soliciting customers and recruiting people everywhere. .

A platform protrudes from the inn along the river. A girl in a light gauze tunic wears a hairpin on her hair. She stands up coyly and dances to a group of fine music.A river in the city stretches for twenty miles from north to south, and it is just spring, and the water level is very shallow, so there are no small boats floating on the river.

On one long street alone, there are more than 20 city gates between the inner city and the outer city, and at least hundreds of colorful lights are hung on the restaurants along the street. They would collide with passers-by and argue together, which was very lively.There are soldiers guarding around each gate, and ordinary people will be searched at any time as long as they pass by, but Baifeng and the others were stopped for a long time before the first checkpoint and failed to enter the city.

"Where did you come from?"

"How could it be!" said the eldest girl, "My family has been in the blacksmith business for generations, and these are the only things I have left."

"My next Baifeng, what advice do you have?"

"Mei Xinghe?" Ayu asked, "Who is this?"

Seeing that there was one person in the last place who didn't respond, the fellow went over and pushed him, and asked sharply, "Boy, what are you looking around for?"

"Baifeng?" The young guard immediately cheered up, and urged his colleagues with pens and ink to say: "Hurry up and write it down, and go in quickly to report...You guys, just wait here for a while!"

But before witnessing all this, they were severely taught by the guards at the gate.

"Mr. Bai, please take this handwritten letter first. There is an adult who wants to see you." With a wave of his hand, several people packed Bai Feng's luggage, which was completely different from the attitude just now.

Bai Feng suddenly stopped behind the crowd and said: "Don't worry, Jinyang City is so big, the outer city alone is as big as two Yuyi towns, why don't we get familiar with the situation in the city first, and play by ear? "

"Run Wentao."

"I don't know." Fu Wentao shook his head: "I don't really understand this kind of thing, it's up to you."

"Yu Ke."

Looking at the downtown scene in the city, everyone was stunned for a moment, walked a few streets in tacit understanding, and chose an inn with not so many people to stay.

"We are from Lingcheng." A philistine-looking girl handed over a few taels of silver, and whispered to the soldiers guarding the city: "My lord, please let us in."

The fellow looked around, quietly accepted the gift money, and asked, "What are you doing here?"

In the past, Jinyang was a place that only existed in dreams for Ayu and Yu Ke.In my imagination, Jinyang has countless people and opportunities, and can make a lot of money; there are many noble ladies here, and the mother who has been sending money to herself may also be one of the many noble ladies.

"Take refuge with relatives." The eldest girl said with certainty: "We are really desperate."

"Just call me Ayu."

"An old acquaintance wants to see me." Bai Feng handed over the handwritten letter.

"Master Bai, why did they suddenly become like this?" Ayu asked curiously, "If you weren't here, we wouldn't even be able to enter the door."

"What money, who saw it?" The man said: "Either you take all your luggage and you go to find relatives first; or you can wait here honestly, don't take up your seat, next one!"

There are gorgeous and prosperous streets, full of magnificent buildings, marble-carved floor tiles, and magnificent palace halls.

Then, the servant was ordered to bring a handwritten letter to report, and the soldiers who stopped Baifeng and others listened. With their faces lowered and their heads lowered, they hurriedly ran to Baifeng, nodded and bowed, and only said: "Several adults don't remember villains. Come on, please come in quickly!"

"What's the matter with you?" Ayu couldn't help asking: "The changes from before and after are too great!"

Bai Feng said: "The confidant of the great eunuch at that time."

No matter how he defended the guard, he put on an official tone and continued to ask: "Give me your name, come one by one."

Ah Yu spoke quickly, and cursed: "What are you talking about? My old lady gave me money just now!"

"Brother Yi, do you want to see her first?" After Yu Ke finished speaking, Fu Wentao also echoed: "Could it be because of Miss Murong's matter? In the past, people from the Taiping Road and the imperial court wanted to compete for the saint, but now The Holy Maiden has been captured by Taipingdao, and the people in the imperial court will definitely not give up."

Fu Wentao was afraid that Ayu would accidentally get into trouble, so he quickly pulled her aside to hide, while Bai Feng and Yu Ke also waited beside them, and they waited for most of the day.

Bai Feng took the handwritten letter and asked his companions to lead the horses into the city, while he read the contents of the letter roughly, and replied: "Now I'm busy with chores, let's discuss it later."

"Oh, don't be in a hurry, it won't be too late to finish this matter after Mr. Bai has finished handling the chores." The fellow made way for Bai Feng to enter the city, with a very humble tone.

"Take refuge with your relatives?" The fellow opened the salute of the person who came, and asked seriously: "Which relatives are you taking refuge with? With so much iron ore, swords and sharp weapons, you can't be smuggling arms, right?"

Eat, drink and have fun along the way, very happy.Baked, baked, fried; tea, stewed meat, flatbread, everything you expect to find, the smoke from each family has the aroma of each family, and you will not be lonely wherever you go.

After eating everything on this street, I went to another street to see other people's tricks. Several rows of gambling houses were overcrowded, and there were countless bullfights and cockfights. You are aristocrats, officials, merchants, porters, farmers, here anyone can express their desire to win or lose.

It is said that Gao Yang, the second son of Emperor Shenwu of the current dynasty, would often come here to play.

Tired from walking, a few of them went to the inn to settle down, asked the boy for a snack and some hot tea, rested and chatted, and it was night before they knew it.

They just muddled along like this, slowly inquiring about the gossip in Jinyang City. After several days passed like this, one day, the great eunuch Mei Lin finally sent someone to invite them to gather at the most famous brothel in Jinyang City, "Guangdong". "Han Pavilion", Mei Xinghe, the owner of the pavilion, happens to be the most famous oiran in Jinyang City.
