Invincibility starts when I see the BOSS health bar.
Chapter 781 So Magical
Chapter 781 So Magical
Watching the guards at the city gate conducting their routine inspection, Fang Yu turned around and glanced at Ding Hui in the carriage.
The latter didn't seem to care at all.
You know, they have loaded a lot of things in the carriage along the way, and who knows if there are any contraband items that are not allowed to be brought in.
But soon, Fang Yu found that he was overthinking. The guards seemed to be conducting an inspection, but in fact they were just waiting for their boss to receive the money.
After receiving the bribe, the guards impatiently sent them away.
Of course, if the payment is not collected smoothly, not only will people not be able to enter, but something from the truckload of stuff will have to be left behind as a reward for the guards’ hard work.
If you calculate all the money you made from this trip, I'm afraid you'll be filled with fat.
However, it is very likely that the guards were so brazen as to not have any connections with higher-ups or pay money to bribe them.
Therefore, it is hard to say how much of the looted things they can keep for themselves.
"Lock up the house, lock up the money."
Uncle Zi had already gone up to make connections.
An old house where a treasure.
Uncle Zi was very familiar with this kind of thing, and he arranged it perfectly. He even got close to the captain of the guard team in charge of the city gate.
In other words, the Suo family’s status has reached this level, otherwise if you want to establish a relationship with the captain of the guard team, no one will pay attention to you.
As Uncle Zi suddenly pointed in this direction, the captain of the guard team also looked over here and nodded slightly.
Is this... helping us smooth over relations?
Good, good, it seems that my rescue was not in vain, and he was able to sneak into the city smoothly.
Otherwise, those who have no connections and no background will have to queue up with the people at Gate 10, and it will take two or three days before they can enter the capital.
Although Fang Yu had the token given by Yan Wenxi of Sui Chongguan, he thought that it would probably be of no use if he used it in this situation.
The so-called servants of servants are not your servants.
Not to mention that I have to find someone to establish a relationship with first, and then I can use the relationship of the big shot to play a role. Now that I haven't even taken the first step, I want to take advantage of the power of the big shot, which is probably a bit difficult.
So Fang Yu was very happy that the Suo family helped him to arrange relationships and successfully enter Beijing, as it saved him a lot of trouble.
After some communication, the Suo family team was quickly allowed to enter the city.
Unexpectedly, both their team and the Zhuge family's team let them all pass without even a formal interrogation.
This relationship is managed, which is fine.
After crossing the high city wall, Fang Yu officially stepped into the capital for the first time.
Unlike the bustling scene imagined, at a glance, the street ahead was crowded with people and quite lively, but not as crowded as Fang Yu had imagined.
"..."
Diao Xiaohui also stared with wide eyes, looking around curiously. It seemed that this was also her first time to visit a place like Beijing.
Zhuge Shi, who was behind, also lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and looked outside, but it didn't seem as stunning as she had imagined. She quickly put the curtain down again, but before doing so, she made eye contact with Fang Yu, paused for a moment, and smiled towards Fang Yu.
Fang Yu ignored her and looked forward. The Suo family's team had already stopped in front and was waiting for them to come over.
When the three teams came together, Uncle Zi bowed.
"Master Diao, and Miss Zhuge, we are about to return to the Suo family. Shall we... say goodbye now?"
After saying that, Uncle Zi looked in the direction of Fang Yu.
Obviously, he was waiting for Fang Yu to express his opinion.
However, Fang Yu did not say anything. Just now when they were queuing, he and Ding Hui had a brief discussion and they already had an answer as to whether or not to enter the Suo family.
A bow.
"Master Zi and Master Zi, thank you for your care along the way. I may need to pay a visit to the Suo family in the future. I hope Master Zi will not turn me away then."
Hearing this answer, Uncle Zi's eyes suddenly lit up and he laughed out loud.
"Hahahaha! Sure, sure! Then we will wait for you two to come to the Suo family."
Just as Zi Shu finished speaking, Zhuge Shi lifted the curtain and stuck his head out.
"Master Zi only invited Master Diao, but not me. What does that mean? Does he look down on me?"
Uncle Zi's smile did not fade, and he was about to speak...
"Sister Shishi wants to come to my house? Welcome, welcome! I welcome you with both hands raised! Sister Shishi can come anytime she wants! The door of our house is always open for you!"
It’s Young Master Zi.
This guy is really obsessed with love. When he heard that Zhuge Shi was coming to Suo's house, he was so happy that he almost danced with joy.
Unfortunately, the person Zhuge Shi was looking at was not him, nor Zi Shu, but...
"Then...when Master Diao visits the Suo family, please let me know so we can go visit together, okay?"
"...Of course."
Fang Yu agreed, but it was just an agreement. What to do when the time comes and whether to invite her to join are all matters for the future.
However, Zhuge Shi was obviously satisfied with the answer. He lowered the curtain and gave instructions.
"Walk."
Looking at his expression, he seems to have no interest in locking the house.
Of course, it might also be the existence of that little bootlicker Master Zi that made her dislike the Suo family.
Watching the Zhuge family's team start to leave, Uncle Zi opened his mouth, then quickly closed it, silently watching them leave.
Young Master Zi was still shouting, not knowing the situation, that he would wait for Zhuge Shi at the Suo family's house.
After the Zhuge family's team left, the scene became much quieter. Fang Yu and Uncle Zi bowed to each other, and then Uncle Zi led the team and officially returned to the Suo family.
"What about us? Where are we going now?"
Fang Yu turned around and asked.
Diao Xiaohui also looked back.
The bloody wound on her face had healed quickly because she had activated the combat mode before, leaving only a faint scar on her face. It is estimated that this scar will fade and disappear soon.
Diao Xiaohui's combat capability is still acceptable in her combat form, but she seems a little overwhelmed when encountering a strong opponent with a huge gap in hard power.
"There are so many places I want to go in the capital, but where to stay..."
Ding Hui's slightly cunning voice rang directly in Fang Yu's mind.
"It's still Bailong Lane after all."
Bailong Lane? That’s not a good choice for a place to stay.
But Ding Hui liked it, so she just let her go.
After asking for directions, Fang Yu drove the carriage forward and soon blended into the crowd.
……
Bailong Alley, it is hard to imagine that in the capital, the most prosperous area in the entire Great Xia Dynasty, you can still see such dirty and messy streets, with all kinds of people mingling on the streets.
Unlike other spacious streets in Beijing, if you want to go to Bainong Lane, the first thing you have to face is a long slope that extends down for dozens of meters.
The ramp looked even more dilapidated, full of potholes and cracks due to years of disrepair.
But because the materials used in the early years were solid enough, even though the surface of the steps has been damaged to this extent, they can still be stepped on by countless people. The prosperity of the capital is beyond doubt.
But beneath the prosperity, corruption, pursuit of fame and fortune are also everywhere.
On the contrary, very few people can actually put their money to good use.
So when Fang Yu appeared on the ramp, he felt a sense of security and familiarity.
It seems that the capital city is not as magnificent and glorious as I imagined.
“It’s going to be a little bumpy.”
After shouting to Ding Hui behind him, he steered the carriage carefully down the slope.
After asking around, he learned that although horses could be ridden in the city, the speed was restricted.
If a horse runs too fast, it will be caught and fined, or in serious cases, imprisoned.
On the other hand, horse-drawn carriages carrying people are relatively more relaxed in this regard, but of course the speed cannot be too fast.
So on the road you can see many people who have just entered the city, all of whom are getting off the ground and leading their horses before walking. On the contrary, people like Fang Yu who are driving a carriage can continue to drive the horses and continue on their journey.
However, the roads are crowded. In busy street areas, the speed of riding a horse may be slower than that of walking pedestrians, and the dedicated horse trails are even more congested.
So when Fang Yu arrived at Bainong Lane, it took quite some time and he could see the sun was gradually going down the mountain.
"We have to find an inn to stay in before sunset."
Fang Yu said.
Ding Hui said, "Don't worry, there is no sunset in the capital. In fact, night is the busiest time in the capital."
"No curfew?"
Fang Yu asked in surprise.
"There will be night watchmen and patrols, but there is no curfew. This is the capital city! You can't compare it to the rules in small towns."
Ding Hui obviously has a lot of admiration for the capital city, and there is a bit of pride in his tone, as if the capital city is special and different.
Fang Yu shrugged. He had long been disenchanted with big cities, though not in the game.
He worked very hard in Jiangnan City and almost couldn't make it. If he hadn't made a fortune from gaming, he would probably have to work on a construction site again to pay off his debts.
When he thought of that scene, Fang Yu couldn't help but feel fortunate that he had chosen the right direction. It also reminded him of Qi Xiaojin again.
There will definitely be news about the Black and Bitter Saint Sect in the capital, and then...
Fang Yu clenched his fists slightly and adjusted his breathing.
Only Diao Xiaohui noticed this detail. She tilted her head to look at Fang Yu, but was greeted by a big hand ruffling her hair.
After the last ramp was completed, the carriage arrived smoothly at Bainong Lane.
Unlike the various stores mentioned above, all kinds of people do business in a law-abiding manner.
In Bailong Lane, wherever you sit on the ground is considered a stall, and there is a fee for this kind of stall.
Some charge by time, and some charge by percentage.
The proportion of the profit sharing is totally disproportionate. Those who are exploited can hardly even get a bite of soup. Apart from being able to occupy a stable position, there are almost no benefits.
Therefore, apart from those who are desperate and looking for support, only those who sign up for this kind of stall will be charged by time most of the time.
Charging by time means high efficiency, and every second counts.
Therefore, both sides of the street here are filled with the crazy hawking sounds of stalls.
"The last half hour, one hundred taels, one hundred taels will give you a piece of the tail spine of the merman monster! First come, first served! No cheating!"
"Clearance sale! Clearance sale! The stall time is up and they will be cleared out soon. Ten taels for everything! Ten taels for everything! Pay the money and take it if you like it!"
"Selling demon blood! Are you still worried about being stuck in a realm? Are you still upset about not having enough talent? Take the demon blood and start the martial arts journey again! From now on, you will be a demon warrior! Ten taels of gold for a bottle of demon blood, change your life!"
The cries of hawkers rang out one after another, and people were crowded in front of each stall. This shopping atmosphere and scene were so exciting that not only Ding Hui, but even Fang Yu wanted to go and take a look at several stalls.
"..."
Diao Xiaohui's eyes were also rolling around, and her curious look like a little loli made her even more cute.
Ding Hui lifted the curtain and took a look outside.
"I finally saw Bailong Alley with my own eyes! It used to be the largest free market in Beijing. I had longed to visit it, but I never thought I would have the chance to come here in person... Husband, will you walk with me?"
At the end, Ding Hui changed the subject and smiled at Fang Yu with narrowed eyes.
"Where is this cart of stuff?"
Fang Yu pursed his lips in anger. They had a lot of good things in their carriage, which were the money they used to come to the capital for shopping and seeking information. If something went wrong, all their hard work along the way would be in vain.
"We have our daughter here, so just let her watch over it."
Ding Hui said that the people had already got off the carriage.
Ding Hui's appearance is actually considered to be of top quality.
However, in the crowded capital city, her appearance on the street was only somewhat conspicuous, not special.
Because the women on the street were all dressed and made up just as well as Ding Hui. If Fang Yu hadn't specifically told her to put on her makeup in advance as they were about to arrive in the capital, Ding Hui would probably have become a passerby by now.
Seeing that Ding Hui seemed to have found his target long ago and was heading straight in a certain direction, Fang Yu hesitated and gave Diao Xiaohui a look.
"Control the carriage and follow us."
After saying that, Fang Yu quickly caught up with Ding Hui.
Things are things after all. Although the things in a carriage are valuable, they are nothing compared to Ding Hui's safety.
"Borrowed, borrowed."
Pushing through the crowd, Fang Yu saw Ding Hui had stopped in front of a stall.
"Shopkeeper, how much is this?"
What Ding Hui was holding was a thing that looked like a chamber pot, but it was much smaller in size.
This made Fang Yu's expression somewhat subtle.
This broken thing... is it something very rare?
Fang Yu completely believed in Ding Hui's vision. Her perspective and knowledge were beyond his reach.
If Ding Hui identifies something as good, then it must have special value.
Immediately, Fang Yu also looked at the little thing carefully.
At the same time, the stall owner was fanning himself with heat and speaking with an exaggerated expression.
"Good taste! You have good taste, young lady! This is the treasure of my stall! The White Night Aurora Pot! This pot has the effect of calming the mind and soothing the spirit. If you pour in the water from the outer spring, you can even turn it into medicine and refine it into the purest liquid medicine. It's no exaggeration to say that it's a top-notch medicine pot!"
"So magical?"
Ding Hui looked up, grinned and laughed.
When Fang Yu saw this, he knew that Ding Hui had evil intentions.
