The innkeeper began to tell the story in a lively and vivid manner, as if he had experienced it himself. The story was full of ups and downs and thrilling. Several tenants were so interested that they forgot to eat and listened intently to the boss's story.
Ye Xu and the others were also eating and listening. Ziying exclaimed from time to time, completely stunned by the plot, and couldn't even chew the cake in her mouth.
Ye Xu knew the boss was bragging as soon as he heard it, but the boss was good at making up stories. If he really knew such details, he wouldn't open a small shabby inn in this place.
The boss finally finished speaking. Looking at the adoring eyes of everyone, the boss was very satisfied. He drank the porridge from a big bowl. Several tenants were very satisfied. After the boss finished speaking, they also ate quickly, and then left the inn to start the day. Life.
Ye Xu and others also left the inn, and found that there were many people busy outside. There were vegetable vendors pulling vegetables on carts to sell in the city, there were also beneficiaries who went to the city to do odd jobs with tools, and there were also people selling snacks. There was a huge crowd of people, all ready to enter the city.
These people were dressed in ordinary clothes, and they looked like ordinary people at first glance. The clothes of Ye Xu and others were considered very good among this group of people.
Following the crowd, Ye Xu and others came to the city gate. There were soldiers guarding the city gate and conducting interrogations on people entering the city. Everyone lined up and walked forward slowly. No one complained about this person. They were all ordinary people at the lowest level. It's good to just go into the city and make a living. No matter how much you dare to complain, no matter how the soldiers scold you, you still have to keep a smile on your face.
Two soldiers stood on both sides with long guns, and a man who looked like an officer sat behind a table, with a look of disgust on his face, his mouth curled, and his face drooped, as if someone owed him millions. Yes, there is a person in front of the table who is responsible for checking. He also holds a bronze mirror in his hand and takes a look at everyone who passes by.
Soon, Ye Xu and the others arrived. The long guns in the hands of the city guards were blocking the way. The person in charge of the inspection frowned when he saw that Ye Xu and the others didn't bring anything with them.
"What are you doing? What are you doing in Longyang City?" the inspector asked in a very unfriendly tone.
"Let's come to visit our relatives!" Ye Xu replied in a very calm tone.
Ye Xu's tone immediately made the people who were inspecting unhappy. Everyone who came into the city in front of them nodded and bowed, kept fawning, and even gave him something from time to time. There were a lot of dishes behind him.
"Visiting relatives? Where do your relatives live? What are their names? Where are you from? Do you have road signs?" The inspector immediately shouted loudly.
Ye Xu was puzzled. The reason he mentioned casually was that he had to make up relatives by himself. Besides, he was not familiar with this place. Who knew where it was!
"Master, my son can't speak. Don't be surprised. We are new here and we don't know if our relatives are still there. Master, please be kind and take pity on us. Let us go in!" Leng Ningyan stepped forward and said, He dropped a piece of silver and handed it silently to the person who was inspecting it.
"You're seeking relatives! That's right, let's go in! Don't run around in the city and don't bump into the nobles, otherwise no one will be able to protect you!" The person who inspected glanced at the silver in his hand, and his expression immediately changed, with a smile on his face. , and kindly reminded Ye Xu and others.
Ye Xu and others entered the city. Ye Xu felt very uncomfortable. He came to Changfeng Continent and then met the little fat man. The biggest city he went to was Qinghua City. He was always accompanied by the little fat man when he went out, just like ordinary people. There was very little contact with the common people. Yishan Village was still a neglected area before. Today, I discovered that the life of the common people was still very difficult. A small soldier guarding the city dared to bully the common people so blatantly.
"Son! Where are we going?" Leng Ningyan was addicted to taking advantage.
"..." Ye Xu looked at Leng Ningyan speechlessly, wondering if this girl was hysterical and addicted to taking advantage, right? If he wasn't outside, he would definitely try condensation smoke and try what electroshock therapy is.
"Grandma! I want to eat delicious food!" Ziying was very novel about this kind of playing house and jumped right into the act.
"Daughter-in-law, do you want to eat again? Can I buy you a chicken drumstick?" Leng Ningyan started to tease Miaoxin again.
There was anger in Miao Xin's eyes, but it was hard to get angry on the street, so she just came close to the condensed smoke and pinched her waist directly with her hands.
"Ah! Master, spare your life!" Leng Ningyan was punished instantly and quickly shouted for mercy.
"Be honest and stop making trouble! This is the street!" Ye Xu quickly stopped them.
"Hehe!" Ziying smiled stupidly, thinking this was quite fun.
Xiang Wenjun looked at them speechlessly, wondering why these children were so childish.
"These soldiers at the city gate are so hateful!" Ye Xu was very unhappy with the soldiers who gave him money. He had never been through these before and didn't know that some people were so bad.
"Brother Ye Xu, I will punish them. My money is not that easy to get." Leng Ningyan whispered.
"What are you doing? You won't get the money back, will you? In that case, the unlucky people may be the people." Ye Xu asked hurriedly. If just taking back the money is nothing, he is afraid that the soldiers will double the money and take it back from the people. , that would be of no benefit to the people.
"How could it be possible? Do I value that little money? He will get sick when he goes back. I want him to spend money on medical treatment. Don't even think about it every ten days and a half!" Leng Ningyan said proudly, she Being in the Heavenly Demon Sect, one knows many of the Demon Sect's methods, so it is very simple to administer some medicine.
"What's the use? He's just a soldier. What he does is not decided by his superiors. That guy is blatantly doing this job at the city gate. I don't know how many people above him are related to it. Speaking of which, he is not It's very pitiful, it's him who does the work, and he's the one who gets into trouble." Ye Xu said.
"Oh, that's right. I'll just kill all his bosses that night." Leng Ningyan's style is very demonic, and he kills the whole family if he doesn't say anything.
"Forget it! Kill one wave and then another. Let's mind our own business first. Only if you become the emperor can you change this situation. This cannot be changed." Ye Xu understood the crux of the matter. They are now There's no need to worry about this.
"Being an emperor! It's not impossible. I'll take the time to tell my dad and ask him to help me build a country." Leng Ningyan thought about it and thought it was a good idea.
"Okay! It's just you. You can manage a country well, but it might be even worse when the time comes." Ye Xu quickly dismissed her idea. If she were to be the emperor, it might harm many families.
"Who said that, I am very powerful, sister Ziying, let's build a country for fun!" Leng Ningyan began to encourage Ziying, the boss of Pingyang Sect.
"It's not fun. I'm too young. I can only take care of a few of you. I don't want to take care of so many people. I want to eat delicious food." Boss Ziying is not interested in this. She still prefers food.
"Didn't you just finish eating?" Leng Ningyan looked at Ziying's belly. She had eaten a bowl of porridge and a piece of cake in the morning. Are you hungry after such a short time?
"Who said you can't eat after eating!" Ziying was very dissatisfied. What happened to her dignified deputy sect master eating something? Besides, she is also rich. Now it is your honor to give you a chance to buy me something to eat.
After a while, Ziying's hands were full of things, and Miaoxin never missed the opportunity to express herself.
"Sister Wenjun, will you be greedy if you don't eat?" Ziying felt pity for Xiang Wenjun. As a ghost, she couldn't even eat.
"It's okay. If I want to eat, I can absorb the essence from the food. I don't need to eat now." Xiang Wenjun is actually quite greedy, but as a ghost, she can't eat these things. Maybe only in the ghost realm. There is food for her.
A few people walked along the street with the crowd. Longyang City was indeed very prosperous, with constant cries. After walking around, they discovered that Longyang City actually had an inner city.
"Sister Siyan is inside." Ziying pointed to the inner city and said.
The gates of the inner city were covered with soldiers, and there were very few people coming in and out. Most of them were well-dressed people. It seemed that the people living in the inner city were either rich or noble.
The inner city is not big, and most of the people in Longyang City are in the outer city. The inner city is the palace of the city lord, plus local dignitaries, and some residences of various sects.
"Our Jialan Temple has a base here. I'll go there and see what's going on here!" Miao Xin said.
"Oh? Is it reliable?" Ye Xu asked.
"Of course it's reliable, I'm a Buddha girl! Besides, we at Jialan Temple are not like the people in Qingxu Mountain. We are outsiders." Miao Xin said arrogantly.
"Listening to what you said, I remembered that our Heavenly Demon Sect also has a station here. Let me go and ask about it too!" Leng Ningyan said unwillingly.
But when she finished speaking, she saw Miao Xin and Ye Xu looking at her, with unknown light flashing in their eyes.
"I'm just talking nonsense, hahaha!" Leng Ningyan laughed twice.
"Do you have a station here?" Ye Xu asked, wondering whether to destroy the Tianmo Sect's station.
"There is no station, there may be someone there. After all, our Tianmo Sect is so big, it is normal to have some intelligence personnel, hehe!" Leng Ningyan patted her chest. She felt that if she said there was one, Ye Xu might wipe out the Tianmo Sect's station.
Miao Xin looked at the condensed smoke. She felt that she should pay attention to the movements of the condensed smoke these days. It would be best to find the stronghold of the Tianmo Sect here.
"No need, I'm going to the inner city to see Wu Siyan and see what's going on here. No one can stop me here." Xiang Wenjun spoke. She felt that it was not that troublesome. With her strength, You can sweep here.
"Yes, then I'll trouble you!" Ye Xu's eyes lit up. He had forgotten about Xiang Wenjun, mainly because Xiang Wenjun was currently invisible and had no sense of presence, so he was always ignored.
"Then let's find an inn first, and then Sister Wenjun will go to see Wu Siyan, and ask about what happened here." Ye Xu decided that there was no need for Miaoxin to go to the station, just in case the Jialan Temple and the If Qingxu Shan colludes, it will be exposed.
Several people came to an inn, selected a few rooms, and used this place as a base. They set off directly to Wenjun, while the remaining people continued shopping.
Although the city gate inspection is very strict, the city is still very lively, and it seems that it is not affected. Or even if ordinary people know it, they have to go out to live, but many people are a little vigilant.
Ye Xu and others came to a tea stall and prepared to rest for a while.
"Bang!" A crisp voice came. Next to the tea stall was a pergola, where someone was telling a story.
"As soon as the wood wakes up, the show begins!" The storyteller began to tell.
