"You two adults, you're welcome. I'm an old man. He's already in his seventies or eighty and doesn't have many years left to live. However, you two adults are still very young. You shouldn't ruin your good life for a trivial matter." After changing his tone, the old man continued: "As long as When you get to the main road, even if you meet someone from the master’s family, they won’t do anything to you, so just go forward with confidence.”
"Thank you for reminding me, father-in-law." Touched by the old man's kindness, the two of them bowed to the old man and thanked him.
"You two adults, you're welcome. It's getting late. You two adults, please get on your way as soon as possible." Smiling at the two men, the old man lowered his head and started busy with the work in his hands.
From the beginning to the end, the old man's name for the two of them has not changed. Perhaps in his eyes, which is not qualified to practice martial arts, martial arts cultivation is a noble status.
On the other side, after bidding farewell to the old man, Lu Yunyou and the two hurriedly set off on the road, following the route the old man pointed out to them. On the way, because of what the old man said just now, the two of them couldn't calm down for a long time.
"Ling Yun, do you think that father-in-law has really been farming for others for more than sixty years?" He couldn't calm down. As he walked, Lu Yunyou took the initiative to find a topic to cover up his inner nervousness.
"It should be like this. If my guess is correct, those tenants have no personal freedom at all."
"The Nan family is so powerful, why would they do such a thing?" Speaking of the Nan family, Lu Yunyou felt confused and afraid. In short, to him, the Nan family was a mysterious and terrifying force that could threaten him at any time. Put him in danger.
"Plowing the land is the most tiring and dirty work. Of course, the people of the Nan family need to find someone to help them do it." Ling Yun changed his voice and continued: "Dilong City is the largest city in the Chaos Ridge. The Nan family They are also one of the three major forces in the city. They are extremely powerful and no one can control them."
"Oh," Ling Yun's answer was relatively straightforward, which made Lu Yunyou even more afraid of the Nan family. With a kind of awe, Lu Yunyou walked to the road that the father-in-law pointed out to them just now. Be more at ease.
Walking straight along the road, half an hour later, a huge phantom of a city suddenly appeared in their sight, making them sure that the Dilong City they were going to was right ahead.
"That's Dilong City!" Lu Yunyou stopped and looked at the dark outline of the city with a surprised look on his face.
"It seems we are not far from there," Ling Yun stopped and took a good look at the vague outline of the city.
They were finally arriving at Dilong City. The two of them, who had been delayed for a long time on the road, were feeling a little expectant and nervous. This was the first time they went to such a prosperous place. Both of them, who had never seen the world before, had a special feeling. .
After a brief stop, the two set off again. Half an hour later, the outline of Dilong City was already very clear in their eyes, especially the several towering buildings in the city, which were symbols of power and status. Along the way, They had never seen a building that tall.
"There are four gates in Dilong City, located in the east, west, south, and north. It's too far away now to see where the east gate is. Let's look for it when we get closer." As he walked and walked, he remembered Hong Ying's instructions to him before leaving, and Ling Yun told Lu Yunyou uneasily: "After entering the city, you must follow me closely, and no matter what happens, don't interfere casually, so as not to cause trouble. Upper body.”
"Of course." Understanding that Ling Yun was reminding him not to meddle in other people's business, Lu Yunyou agreed simply, and then asked, "When will Uncle Hong and the others arrive at Dilong City?"
"The convoy is not moving as fast as us. In my opinion, they will have to arrive at Dilong City after dark." Ling Yun changed his voice and continued: "It is said that the night in Dilong City is more lively than during the day. We don't have to Worrying about the time they come into town.”
"Then let's walk faster and go in early to see it," he had no objection to Ling Yun's answer and nodded. Lu Yunyou, who was more expectant in his heart, quickly quickened his pace.
Half an hour later, the two of them were already walking on the main road into the city. Looking from a distance, they saw many people coming and going below the city gate, either in groups or alone, all of them unfamiliar faces. .
Going further, a stone bridge about 100 meters long appeared in the sight of the two people. The bridge deck was flat and more than ten meters wide. The stone carvings on both sides were decorated very grandly. Walking on the flat bridge, the breeze blew gusts. Very comfortable.
After walking straight to the city gate, Lu Yunyou looked around curiously. The people coming and going were dressed in different clothes. It was unclear where they came from and where they were going. They all looked extraordinary.
"Don't look at others casually." At the same time, after discovering that Lu Yunyou seemed to have never seen the world, he was very curious about the people around him and kept looking around, worried that Lu Yunyou's behavior would offend those high-level martial arts cultivators, Ling Yun quickly reminded me.
Because he often travels outside, Ling Yun naturally has more experience than Lu Yunyou. In his opinion, it is disrespectful for a low-level martial artist to look at a high-level martial artist casually. If the other party is dissatisfied, then the unlucky one must be that person. Low-level martial arts cultivators, this is what ordinary martial arts cultivators need to understand when going out.
On the other side, after Ling Yun's warning, Lu Yunyou also realized that his behavior just now was a bit inappropriate, so after seeing some people with abnormal expressions and not even looking at them, he stopped looking at the pedestrians casually.
There are also guards in military uniforms below the city gate. About twenty people stand on the left and right sides, each with a stern expression. The ones with the lowest cultivation level are all third-level martial arts cultivators. However, they do not conduct any interrogations on the passing people, just like decorations. , walking side by side with Ling Yun, the two entered the city smoothly.
After entering the city, the view became wider again. Different from the outside of the city, the city was extremely noisy. The noisy sound gave the two people a lively feeling as soon as they entered the city.
Going forward, three forked roads jumped out in front of them, each leading to a place where they couldn't see the end. After stopping briefly, the two followed the person in front of them and walked on the main road in the middle.
Continuing to walk forward, in addition to the neatly arranged shops on both sides, there are also large and small stalls selling various items, including food, clothing, and clothing. For these two people from a small place, many things are theirs. Seeing each other for the first time, they were so surprised that they stopped frequently, acting like they had never seen the world before.
Continuing to walk forward, the signs of the shops are getting higher and higher, probably because they are close to the outside of the city. Most of them are inns. The dense buildings on both sides dazzled Lu Yunyou. Compared with the streets here, Wuyang The busiest streets in the city will be eclipsed. There is no comparison between the two.
Weapon shops, medicine shops, clothing and even shops selling martial arts, various signs were constantly appearing in their eyes. Every time Lu Yunyou looked inside those shops, he could see that those shops were full of various items. There are also scenes of conversations between sellers and customers.
Each shop is very spacious, bright and bright. Compared with the decoration of those shops, those shops in Wuyang City are simply "black shops". The more he looks at them, the more surprised he is. It's like walking into a new world. Lu Yunyou There is only the word "prosperity" in my eyes.
"This is just the outskirts of Dilong City. It's hard to imagine how prosperous the center of the city is." Surprised, Ling Yun couldn't help but express his thoughts.
"What a great place!" Feeling the same, what he saw and heard in this moment made his heart surge, and Lu Yunyou felt a desire to become a strong person in his heart.
"Indeed, Uncle Hong said that the structure of Dilong City is actually the same as that of many cities. It is divided into three main urban areas according to the distribution of power, controlled by the three major wealthy families in the city. The area in the city is shared by the three major wealthy families. It is a truly prosperous area. It is said that ordinary martial arts cultivators are not qualified to go there." After a look of yearning appeared on his face, Ling Yun continued: "Our current location is on the periphery of the Nan family's jurisdiction, far away from the real prosperous area. It’s still very far away.”
"Nan's family!" Lu Yunyou's mood was even more ups and downs when he remembered what his father-in-law had said to them before.
"The Nan family has a history of no less than a thousand years in Dilong City. Their power is unimaginable. They are the king here."
"Thousands of years? Doesn't that mean that the Nan family already existed before the establishment of the Sword Dynasty?"
"Indeed, among the three families, it seems that only the foreign Dongfang family has a shorter history in Dilong City, only a few hundred years."
Seeing that it was getting late, before Lu Yunyou could answer, Ling Yun continued: "Let's go find an inn to rest first, and then go shopping around tomorrow morning."
According to common sense, the further you go, the higher the accommodation cost, so in Ling Yun's opinion, it is best for them to find a place to stay close to the outside of the city.
There were too many inns on both sides of the street. After looking around, the two of them found an inn with a few guests. As soon as they entered the door, they were greeted by a dignified waiter.
