Not long after.
The unique aroma of barbecue wafted out of the stone building. Liu Qingqing stood inside the door and shouted:
"Master Fan, the meat is already roasted. Come and eat some."
Fan Yi responded, stood up from the ground and walked towards the stone building.
The two of them sat opposite each other next to the fire, each eating some barbecue, and neither of them had the intention to speak actively.
Liu Qingqing was full of curiosity about the boy in front of her.
Although she knew that Fan Yi had arrived from a remote town, the young man always showed maturity beyond his years, whether it was his conversation or his thoughts.
There were even times when Liu Qingqing, who was a few years older, had to be more cautious when facing Fan Yi.
After eating barbecue, Fan Yi was about to walk out of the stone building.
Liu Qingqing smiled and said:
"Actually, you can rest on the first floor. I'll just go to the second floor. There's no need to hide far away. I'm not a cannibal."
Fan Yi turned around and said with a smile:
"Deacon Liu is overthinking it. The aura here is so rich, it wouldn't be a pity if we delay our practice."
After saying that, without looking back, he walked out the door to the river bank just now and concentrated on practicing.
Seeing that Liu Qingqing couldn't resist the young man, she didn't close the door. She went back to the second floor to rest.
Nothing happened all night.
It was just getting dark when Liu Qingqing went downstairs, closed the door and walked out.
I saw Fan Yi already leaning down by the river, constantly taking the cold river water and slapping it on his face.
Liu Qingqing also came over and took some water and slapped it on her face.
The next two days of traveling went smoothly.
It's noon.
A vast city appeared in front of us.
The city is half-surrounded by mountains in an open area. Looking across, you can't see the end.
Liu Qingqing raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead and said with a smile:
"We finally arrived at Huben City. Let's go! I will take you to the City Lord's Mansion to meet City Lord Li first."
Fan Yi nodded, and the two of them walked quickly towards the city gate.
Huben City!
The city wall is obviously much higher than that of Tianlong City, a full four feet tall.
There are several watchtowers and beacon towers on the city wall, among which there are hundreds of guards wearing silver armor.
Some are holding crossbows, and some are holding spears, looking majestic.
There was also a team wearing golden armor at the city gate, each holding a broad sword.
Whenever people come into the city, they will be questioned carefully.
That's because fifty miles out from the city gate, there is a river leading to the sky.
On the other side of the river is Linzhou Baibaizhou.
Baibaizhou!
With a population of hundreds of millions and an area three times that of Qingyun Prefecture, it is such a giant.
Now it is the Mahayana Kingdom that rules Baibaizhou.
The guard leader at the city gate saw the token that Liu Qingqing took out, and looked at Fan Yi's military robe, and then politely invited the two of them into the city.
Walk on the broad road.
From time to time, carriages from wealthy families pass by, and the buildings on both sides are actually much better.
Liu Qingqing took Fan Yi to the alley on the side of the road, and soon hired a carriage and continued on her way to the city lord's palace.
In this way, you can take a good look at Huben City.
About half an hour.
Not far away, I saw a simple wooden building with three words on it: Ankang Hall.
Fan Yi asked the driver to stop and asked Liu Qingqing to wait for a moment.
He got off the carriage and walked directly to Ankang Hall.
As soon as I walked inside, a strong smell of medicine hit my face, and there were seven or eight people queuing up for consultation.
Sitting in the box was an old man with gray hair.
The old man was wearing plain clothes, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes. His face did not look old, but was full of rosy colors.
There were two clerks behind the medicine cabinet who were busy filling and measuring medicines. After one of them saw Fan Yi, he didn't look directly at him, but his tone was warm:
"Brother, are you here for consultation? Or are you here to get medicine?"
Fan Yi smiled and said:
"Come in and take a look, no consultation or medicine."
When the clerk heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said:
"Then just take your time and watch. If anything happens, just call me."
Fan Yi did not answer, but walked to the stairs on the second floor, just about to look up.
The store clerk glanced at Fan Yi who wanted to go to the second floor, so he hurriedly put down the medicine scale, trotted out of the medicine cabinet and said:
"You are really strange. You neither see a doctor nor take medicine. What are you doing secretly?"
Fan Yi smiled awkwardly and asked:
"Can't we go to the second floor?"
The shop assistant looked Fan Yi up and down for a moment, raised his eyebrows and said:
"The second floor is where women get medical consultations. As a man, you can't go there. I'm very busy, so stop running around."
After saying that, he went back to the medicine cabinet and continued working.
Fan Yi was speechless for a moment, thinking that he would not be able to see the little boy from the Bai family today, so he had to walk towards the door.
At this time.
A little boy holding a candied haws in hand was jumping towards the door of the pharmacy.
He happened to bump into Fan Yi, and the little boy let out an ouch, which angered the store clerk.
This time, he was not so polite and scolded:
"You bumped into my young master, you were really careless."
Fan Yi had already seen the child's appearance clearly. Isn't this the little boy from the Bai family?
The little boy also looked at Fan Yi in a daze.
After the store clerk picked up the little boy, he asked with concern:
"Master, are you okay? Did you hit anything?"
The little boy didn't say anything, just looked at Fan Yi in trance.
Seeing that the child was fine, Fan Yi felt relieved. He smiled and said to the shop assistant:
"excuse me."
He said and walked straight out the door.
The store clerk was a little confused and scolded in a low voice:
"What a weirdo."
It seems that the little boy was somewhat familiar with Fan Yi, but because Wan Yi risked his life and cast spells on him, he couldn't remember many things.
The old man sitting in the clinic was watching all the time.
He said nothing, just watched Fan Yi leave, and then looked away from the young man.
When Fan Yi returned to the carriage, Liu Qingqing was also puzzled and asked:
"Did you buy the medicine?"
Fan Yi smiled and replied:
"I bought it, let's go."
The coachman got the words and raised his whip to drive the carriage forward.
After another full hour, it finally stopped.
Chama said:
"The city lord's palace is in front of you two guests. The carriage can't go any further. Please walk a while."
Liu Qingqing and Fan Yi got out of the car one after another, took out some money and handed it to the groom, and walked towards the city lord's mansion.
The main palace of Huben City is located on a hill two to three hundred feet high.
This mountain looks extremely abrupt, with the magnificent palace built on top of it, which actually gives the entire city a sense of oppression.
The road up the mountain is paved with bluestone slabs, three feet wide, and leads directly to the city lord's palace.
Several lofts were built along both sides of the road, one higher than the other.
You can imagine how troublesome it must be to build it.
Liu Qingqing led Fan Yi towards the stone stairs, but was stopped by the guard leader for questioning after a while.
After a while.
The guard leader hurriedly ran to report, while four other guards led Fan Yi and two people forward slowly.
Just after stepping on the last stone staircase and stepping onto the square, a loud bell rang in the main hall.
At this time.
A young man dressed in brocade robes trotted quickly from the entrance of the palace to greet him.
This man is none other than Li Mi, the only son of Old City Lord Li. Judging from his age, he should be in his early thirties.
