Zhan Jingyi and Yan Sixia stood not far away and watched. They saw that the young officer was very happy to see Weng Xiaoyue at first. The two of them were chatting quickly. As they chatted, they felt that the atmosphere seemed to be a little better. different.
Seeing the serious expressions of the two people in the distance, Zhan Jingyi was slightly curious. He didn't know what the two people were talking about. Maybe Weng Xiaoyue expressed his feelings directly.
After a while, Weng Xiaoyue led the officer towards Zhan Jingyi and Yan Sixia. When they came closer, Weng Xiaoyue changed her previous solemn expression and introduced with a smile on her face: "War King, Car owner Yan, this is my compatriot brother Weng Tianxin.”
Weng Tianxin, a young man in military uniform, stood next to Weng Xiaoyue, like a tall and straight green pine, majestic and heroic. His military uniform was straight and meticulous. Every button, every button, was like Buttoned according to strict military regulations, it reveals an impeccable neatness and order.
There was a unique perseverance and determination on his face, and his eyes were like deep lakes, bright and firm, but there seemed to be a trace of melancholy between his eyebrows. He didn't know if he was melancholy about his sister.
Zhan Jingyi took the initiative to reach out his hand, and the two held their hands together. He could feel Weng Tianxin's hands, rough and strong, the hands of a real warrior.
Holding his hand, Zhan Jingyi shook it gently and said kindly: "Hello, Captain Weng, I am Zhan Jingyi, codenamed Zhan Wang. I am honored to meet you. I have also been a soldier, so we don't count. outsider."
"Um?"
Suddenly hearing Zhan Jingyi's enthusiastic but not exaggerated greeting, Weng Tianxin was startled, "King of War?" Is this codename so exaggerated?
Although there are some differences between the Land of Lingyuan and the Crescent Federation, the general culture is the same. For example, in the army, there is still a name for the King of Soldiers, but there is really no one who dares to call him the King of War. How dare this young man Called the War King.
Thinking of this, Weng Tianxin looked up and saw the thin and muscular figure of the young man in front of him. He was more formal and did not look like a warrior who was good at fighting. Instead, he looked a bit like...
A teacher?
After meeting the two of them, Weng Tianxin was amazed by Yan Sixia, but it seemed that he was full of thoughts. Although he was surprised by her beauty, he did not talk much, but simply said hello, saying After a few words, he left in a hurry.
Watching Weng Tianxin go away, Weng Xiaoyue's face became a little darker. She turned her head and said with a forced smile: "Okay, let's go. My brother has arranged a hotel for me. The place there is big enough. Let’s stay in Chengbei District first.”
After finishing speaking, Weng Xiaoyue asked everyone to pack their things. By this time, night had begun to fall.
Like the cities in the Crescent Federation, Heiwang City originally had very strict inspections on outsiders, but maybe Weng Tianxin had said hello, so the inspections were not so strict.
Soon, soldiers came over and took photos of everyone one by one. Then they made a temporary pass for Heiwang City on the spot, so that if they were interrogated when going out later, they would not be able to reveal their identity.
Zhan Jingyi also said that he had his first formal identity after arriving in Lingyuan, with a steel-stamped identity certificate.
According to Weng Xiaoyue, with this identity certificate, there is no need to apply for it separately when arriving in other cities. You can just register when you enter the city.
However, before officially entering the city, everyone must go through a special link, which is to hand over their weapons.
After all, whether it is in the Crescent Federation or here, it is absolutely not allowed to bring firearms into the city. However, these rules are not targeted at anyone, but everyone must do this. Even pistols are prohibited. Entering the city.
With these rules, people who have been in the wilderness for a long time feel that they have no sense of security without guns, but Heiwang City is not the small little town they were in after all, and they must abide by the rules here.
Therefore, the surviving residents of Xiaoweng Town handed over all their weapons at Weng Xiaoyue's request, retaining only relevant cold weapons, such as daggers and short knives.
Fortunately, apart from the two pistols, Zhan Jingyi only had one thunder and lightning tomahawk. This tomahawk was a cold weapon, so there was no need to turn it in.
Soldiers came over and collected all the firearms. These firearms will be sent to a storage point outside the city. When leaving the city, you can collect them at the city gate with the receipt.
…
After all this work, when the convoys started one by one and entered the city along the main road of Heiwang City, the prosperous side of the city was immediately revealed in front of Zhan Jingyi and others.
Although it was the beginning of night at this time, the lights of the streets and the shops on both sides were already shining, with feasting and feasting, people wandering around, dazzling goods and gorgeous women, alcohol and low-quality perfume, and the smell of vomit. …
Zhan Jingyi, who was sitting in the car, rolled up the window silently and whispered: "Are all cities here like this? It seems so prosperous..."
"Everyone has different ways of surviving."
Weng Xiaoyue, who was driving, looked at Zhan Jingyi and explained with a smile: "There are many mountains and swamps around Heiwang City, so it is difficult to grow crops, but fortunately, it is very close to the City of Ice and Glass, although there are many crops there every year. The hunting season is very dangerous, but there are also people with great wealth, and this is the closest city to there, so a business-based survival model has been formed here, mainly as a cargo transit and gathering of major business groups. Taxes are the main thing.”
"In addition to these, the traveling convoys, business groups, bandit groups, travelers and other people from all walks of life gathered here, and a large number of casinos and leather... that kind of business were created here. Therefore, Heiwang City has accumulated a large amount of Wealth, but because of this, the order of Heiwang City is chaotic, greed for pleasure is common, there are so many officials who are corrupt and pervert the law, and there is a mixture of dragons and snakes at the bottom. "
"In this Heiwang City, there are four largest families, Xia, Weng, Liu, and Shen. Among them, the Xia family is the city lord family and has always controlled the city defense army and taxation. The Weng family is in charge of Heiwang City. Related business activities, the Liu family is engaged in fleet transportation and has always been on good terms with our family, while the Shen family is an underground force, and all the casinos and skin and flesh trading here are controlled by his family."
"Over the years, the Xia family has become more and more domineering, ostracizing our Weng family, the Liu family, and the Shen family. Originally, the Weng family had three direct line members at the captain level in the city defense army, but now only my brother is left, and the others Two people either died unfortunately while going out, or died of illness, and now all three of our families are obviously in decline."
"Then you just watch and die like this?" Yan Sixia, who was sitting on the side, couldn't hold back and interjected and asked.
Weng Xiaoyue sighed, glanced at Zhan Jingyi, and said, "That's why my family came up with this idea of getting married. They hope that I will marry the city lord and become the fifth wife, so as to deepen the relationship between the two families."
Yan Sixia didn't know about this before, but when she heard it, her heart skipped a beat. Although what Weng Xiaoyue said seemed very plain, she could hear many different meanings from it.
Yan Sixia turned her head and glanced at Zhan Jingyi curiously, and found that his face was calm when he heard the news, without any sign of surprise.
At this time, Yan Sixia suddenly had a realization. It seemed that Zhan Jingyi had known this information in advance, and might even know it better than she did.
Zhan Jingyi was looking out of the car. At this moment, Weng Xiaoyue was driving the car, slowly moving forward in the crowded crowd. The dark buildings on both sides, and the weaving crowds, only in a city can you know this. How big is the city?
Especially, this is just a corner of Heiwang City. If you look at this scale, the entire Heiwang City is really...
Too huge...
And such a huge place has been riddled with holes by these moths?
If he hadn't heard Weng Xiaoyue's words with his own ears, Zhan Jingyi really wouldn't have been able to tell, at least from the surface, there wouldn't even be any clues.
