Tianlong City is very large, ten times larger than Rong City, with a population of millions.
The reason why Tianlong City is named Tianlong is because on the city wall where it enters the city, there are two stone dragon-shaped sculptures that are more than 30 feet long. They lie on the left and the right, and below the two dragon heads is the city gate.
Directly opposite the city gate is a huge lake. There are large boats lined up on the shore of the lake, and the water and land are quite prosperous.
In another hour, the big sun on the top of the mountain will disappear into the mountain, and at this time, the entire lake is shimmering in the sunlight.
Zhong Laoqi stood on the deck of the merchant ship, his clothes being torn by the wind, but his face was full of joy.
Zhong Laoqi said to the warriors behind him:
"Let me know, we will arrive at Tianlong City in half an hour."
Upon hearing this, the warriors stood on the deck of the ship and shouted loudly:
"The boat is sailing to the shore! The boat is sailing to the shore!...!"
In fact, the guests in the ship building had already seen Tianlong City, but after hearing the shouts, they felt even more relieved.
Although the time it took to sail this time was not too late, after experiencing the water ghost blocking the river, people seemed to be reborn after the disaster.
Xiao Qi specially ran to the door of Fan Yi's room, bang bang bang! There was a knock on the door.
Fan Yi gently pushed the door open, and when he saw the cute expression on the little girl's face, he knew that the girl was taking credit for this.
Zhong Xiaoqi said:
"Brother, our ship is about to dock. Can I invite you to my home?"
Fan Yi raised his hand again and rubbed the little clever guy's head, and said with a smile:
"Xiao Qi, big brother still has a lot of things to do. You have to listen to your father when you get to Tianlong City."
"I will come see you if I have time. If one day you really want to practice cultivation, you can come to Wuzong and find me."
When Xiao Qi heard that Fan Yi didn't want to be a guest at her home, she felt a little disappointed in her eyes.
It's just that the little girl is still a child. When the merchant ship arrived at the dock of Tianlong City, she started to cheer again.
Zhong Laoqi repeatedly invited Fan Yi to drink.
Fan Yi had no choice but to follow Zhong Laoqi and his daughter into the city in a carriage.
About half an hour.
Zhong Laoqi found a Shenyuan Inn with a beautiful environment for Fan Yi, and then took Xiaoqi to Liuwang Tower for business.
Zhong Laoqi also specifically told the warriors who had followed him for many years not to leak the news of Fan Yi's arrival in Tianlong City.
Although Lord Mo would not embarrass Fan Yi when he passed the order, how could Young City Lord Bai Yanfeng just let it go?
Fan Yi was personally taken to a guest room in the deep courtyard by the inn steward, and all the necessary accommodation requirements were recorded in Zhong Laoqi's name.
After all, Zhong Laoqi is a captain who has been sailing for many years, and his family fortune is quite decent. Moreover, when reporting the identity of Liuwanglou, ordinary people, whether businessmen or hawkers, always have to give him enough face.
After the inn steward resigned, a maid came to bring tea and brand-new clothes on a wooden tray. This was also Zhong Laoqi's arrangement.
People who have returned from land and water need to change into new clothes and arrange a dust-cleansing feast.
The two maids prepared hot water and a bathtub for Fan Yi, and then asked Fan Yi to take a bath and change clothes.
When the young man saw two extremely beautiful maids with no intention of avoiding them, he had no choice but to politely drive them out.
Soon the whole room was filled with steam. The boy kept using the water ladle in the small bucket to add hot water to the wooden bucket to wash away his fatigue.
Two hours later, Fan Yi had put on new clothes and walked out of the guest room. The two maids from before took him to the banquet.
Zhong Laoqi held the banquet on one of the small islands in the inn. He only had to cross a small bridge and there were private rooms on the island.
When the maid opened the door of the box, she saw only Zhong Laoqi and his daughter in the huge box, with no extra people.
Seeing that Fan Yi had arrived, Zhong Laoqi hurriedly stood up and greeted him.
At this time, the burly man also put on a green shirt and robe, plus a fur coat, and his brows showed confidence.
Zhong Xiaoqi wore a red and white fur coat with two braids on both sides, looking festive and cute.
After seeing the way the father and daughter were dressed, Fan Yi felt happy for them in his heart. Maybe they were out on a boat trip, so they had to dress as plainly as possible, because there were only advantages and no disadvantages, so the father and daughter did not look luxurious before.
Zhong Laoqi personally held the chair for Fan Yi. After Fan Yi sat down, he sat down next to the young man's right hand.
The burly man said to the maid:
"You can gather the charcoal fire and leave. No one is needed here. Remember not to let outsiders disturb you."
After hearing this, one of the two maids went to put up the fire, and the other closed the originally open window and retreated directly.
Seeing that there was no one else around, Zhong Laoqi picked up the chopsticks and pinched a sheep's hoof for Xiaoqi and said:
"Xiao Qi, City Master Fan and I will have a few glasses of wine. You can come and eat whatever you want."
The man poured wine into Fan Yi's glass and said:
"City Master Fan, we, father and daughter, toast you with this cup. There is no way to repay the kindness of saving your life, so I won't say thank you. I'll do it first as a token of respect!"
Fan Yi laughed and said:
"Okay, do it first as a courtesy!"
Fan Yi drank it all in one gulp, and just as he put down the glass, the second glass of wine was already filled.
Zhong Laoqi said:
"This wine is a good thing. It is brewed with sorghum puree and the entire skeleton of a striped tiger. Drinking it can not only remove dampness and cold, but also strengthen the muscles and bones. City Master Fan can drink a few more glasses."
The two of them had another drink.
Seeing that Fan Yi didn't say much, Zhong Laoqi asked again:
"City Lord Fan has arrived at Tianlong City, what are your next plans?"
Seeing Zhong Laoqi's sincere attitude, Fan Yi said:
"This time when we come out of the Yunze Mountains, we are going to Wuzong to pay homage to the mountain gate. I just don't know how far away Wuzong is from Tianlong City?"
Zhong Laoqi was not surprised when he heard this. After all, most of the young monks in Qingyun Province wanted to join a sect.
The young man in front of him looks like he is only seventeen years old, but his cultivation strength cannot be underestimated, and he is admired and even more envied.
Zhong Laoqi thought for a while and said:
"Wuzong is two thousand miles north of Tianlong City. It would take half a month to reach it by horseback. After leaving Tianlong City, there are many barren mountains and wild mountains, and the road is difficult to travel."
Fan Yi nodded and replied:
"Thank you, Master Zhong, for reminding me. I will be careful."
Zhong Laoqi thought for a while and said:
"In this case, I will go to a good friend tomorrow and beg for a good horse to be sent to you. I also ask City Master Fan not to refuse."
Seeing the man's enthusiasm, Fan Yi nodded readily and took the initiative to raise his glass and propose a toast.
Although there were only three people in the box, they were still enjoying themselves, making Fan Yi feel the long-lost enthusiasm.
After the banquet ended, Zhong Laoqi was already seventy percent drunk. A warrior was waiting at the door of the inn and took the father and daughter back.
Fan Yi went back to his room and fell asleep.
Liuwang Tower is only one street away from the City Lord's Mansion in Tianlong City.
On the seventh floor of Liuwang Tower, there were four people discussing something in a private room.
One old man is the deputy building owner Mo Deshi, and the other is the young city owner Bai Yanfeng.
Opposite the old man and the young man, there is a man and a woman.
The man is dressed as a Confucian scholar, and the woman is graceful and charming.
Mordes said respectfully to the middle-aged man:
"Master, the young man named Fan whom Yanfeng and I mentioned earlier has arrived in Tianlong City now. Can we take action?"
