It seems that the affection of a broken piece of silver has been exhausted. The old man looked at the two people chattering questions, and his face was already a little impatient: "Okay, you two young men, if you have anything you don't understand, go to the city and ask! "
"My father-in-law, there is still life in the fields!"
"Hey, the world is good, we have enough to eat!"
In the blink of an eye, the father-in-law had already walked out of the sight of the two of them. Mo Rufeng looked at the retreating figure with a wry smile on his face: "I didn't expect that there are things in this world that I don't know about."
"Brother Ning, let's go in and find out what's going on."
"I heard that there is a Baixiangju in Lingzhou City, which is really good."
"good!"
The two of them walked towards the city gate. Just as they were about to enter, Ning Taisui suddenly stopped and looked at the main gate to the side in confusion.
"Is this a canal?"
"hiss?"
"Dig a ditch and lay it with bluestone slabs for drainage?"
"Is it so luxurious?"
Mo Rufeng's eyes widened, but Ning Taisui's eyes sparkled, and he said with a smile: "It's not bad. With these drainage channels, the city will not be so muddy when it rains heavily."
"However, it is really a waste of time and money."
"If these bluestone slabs were replaced with food, how many people would be saved from starving to death every year!"
"well!"
The two of them stood in front of the city gate, chattering. The soldiers guarding the city seemed to be unable to wait any longer: "Do you two want to go in? If you don't, step aside and block the road."
"oh oh!"
Mo Rufeng quickly poked Ning Taisui, who was distracted. He raised his foot and was about to enter the city gate, but saw the soldiers guarding the city stopping the two of them: "Show me your ID cards!"
"ID card?"
The two looked at each other again, and saw the common people walking by took out a stone tablet, handed it over for inspection, and then strode in.
"When we first came to Lingzhou City, we didn't have this...identity card!"
"No?"
Hearing that there were no two people, several more soldiers gathered around and said softly: "Pay one tael of silver as the entry fee. After entering, you can stay at the official post for free. You can apply for an ID card within seven days."
"Remember, Guanyi can only stay for free for seven days at most. After seven days, you will be charged."
"Register and go in!"
The two of them followed the soldiers' instructions with dull faces, registered their personal information, and then strode into the city.
"Go and check the details of these two people. They are gorgeously dressed and have extraordinary temperament. They are absolutely extraordinary!"
"The name they filled in should be a pseudonym. Report it to Jin Yiwei immediately."
"Brothers, keep an eye on it, the palace has issued a death order, absolutely no minions of any force can get in!"
"yes!"
Immediately, a man followed the two of them into the city, following them from a distance.
"Brother Mo, have you noticed?"
"What?"
“The entire Lingzhou City is filled with a sense of weirdness.”
"The roads in this city are so smooth. They seem to be paved with stone slabs, but there are no gaps in these stone slabs."
"It's simply amazing!"
Ning Taisui frowned, squatted down slowly, and slapped the ground with his right hand lightly, stirring up a trace of dust, but there were no cracks on the stone surface.
"this……"
"I used three points of my internal energy, but there was no trace left on the ground."
"How can it be!"
Ning Taisui looked as if he had seen a ghost, but Mo Rufeng glanced behind him: "I was targeted as soon as I entered the city, but I don't know if it's a gangster or someone with ulterior motives."
"ignore him!"
"I want to figure out the mystery of this Lingzhou City."
"Walk!"
Ning Taisui did not hesitate and walked towards the city with long strides. The wide streets were big enough for eight horses to pass through. What was even more strange was that there were white stripes on the road, dividing the wide road into eight.
There appear to be masons working in the middle, with a low wall bisecting the middle of the road.
Mo Rufeng immediately moved forward, squatted down and asked, "Brother, what is the use of this low wall?"
"To divide traffic flow."
"What about the wooden fence next to it?"
“Split the sidewalk.”
“What is a sidewalk?”
"Hey!" The carpenter seemed to be a talkative person and didn't want money. He said while working: "Not long ago, the Lingzhou government issued an official document stating that after the streets in Lingzhou City are completed, all cars and horses will drive on the right. "
“Pedestrians and vehicles are diverted. In this way, traffic efficiency and pedestrian safety can be greatly improved!”
"Wonderful!"
Ning Taisui immediately exclaimed in admiration. With a glance, the entire city was extremely tidy, and gray mud was stirring in the mason's construction basin.
"This is?"
"cement!"
The mason grinned and said with a smile: "This cement is a unique product of Lingzhou. A house built with cement is stronger than a pile of stones and can stand for thirty or forty years!"
"hiss!"
Ning Taisui seemed to have discovered the mystery of this city. He slowly squatted down and lightly touched the ground with his fingers: "The road here is also made of cement?"
"Exactly!"
Mo Rufeng and Ning Taisui looked at each other, said something to the stonemason, and then walked towards the city.
As soon as the two of them left, a young man in casual clothes approached the mason and calmly took out a sign from his sleeve: "Jinyiwei, tell me what those two people said just now!"
The mason's expression suddenly changed, with a look of fear on his face, and he recounted the conversation with Ning Taisui word for word.
…
Baixiangju.
As the number one restaurant in Lingzhou City, it has now become a landmark building in the city, where most of the merchants and celebrities who come and go gather here.
Mo Rufeng and Ning Taisui did not go to the so-called official post immediately, but came to Baixiangju.
"Brother Ning, the swordsman in blue that you have been looking for so hard is right here in the center of Baixiang."
"oh?"
There was a look of surprise on Ning Taisui's face. He looked around and found no sign of Li Taibai. Then he chuckled and said, "It seems that we won't have a chance today."
"Don't worry, as long as the person is here, you can't run away."
"Waiter, bring some jugs of good wine and serve your signature dishes."
"okay!"
A waiter nodded and took a menu. Mo Rufeng couldn't help but his eyes lit up: "Are these dishes unique to Lingzhou City?"
"hey-hey!"
"Guest, to be precise, it is unique to me, Baixiangju."
"This dish was personally developed by His Highness King Yong, and every item is enough to crush the royal banquet in the palace!"
"Especially Wensi tofu, Dongpo meat, Dong'an chicken..."
"Should we try it first?"
"good!"
Mo Rufeng nodded, his eyes inadvertently swept over the maid walking next to him, with a bit of surprise on his face: "I didn't expect that even a little maid has such outstanding appearance."
