Duyang County is located in the south of the capital, only a few hundred miles away from the capital. Along the way, Guan Mingyue, Zhang Jianlai, Guan Tianhai and others kept discussing various things that happened at the Duyang County sacrifice ceremony.
It wasn't until nightfall that a few people arrived at the city gate of Duyang County.
Duyang County is located in the southernmost part of Southern Xinjiang and is also the most prosperous county.
There are countless shops, restaurants, hotels, inns, etc. in Duyang County.
Several people were walking on the street, looking happy.
Guan Mingyue looked at the many gadgets placed on both sides of the street, and couldn't help but reach out and touch this and that.
Zhang Jianlai laughed at the side.
Guan Mingyue came to her senses.
Seeing the smile on Zhang Jianlai's face, he felt a little embarrassed.
Guan Mingyue asked sheepishly: "Brother Jianlai, why are you laughing?"
"No, it's nothing. If you like it, I'll buy it for you." Zhang Jianlai said with a smile.
After hearing this, Guan Mingyue was extremely happy.
During this time with Guan Mingyue, Zhang Jianlai already regarded her as his future wife, so he cared for her so much.
"Mingyue, what do you want to buy this time? I will take you there."
"I want to buy...buy this." Guan Mingyue said, picking up a hairpin.
After Zhang Jianlai saw the card, a light flashed in his eyes.
"Mingyue, do you really like that card?"
Guan Mingyue nodded with a smile.
Zhang Jianlai looked at her smiling face and trembled slightly in his heart.
"This card is very suitable for you." Zhang Jianlai said with a smile, "Then buy it!"
"Really? Then thank you, Brother Jianlai." Guan Mingyue said happily.
With that said, Zhang Jianlai took out a few taels of silver to pay the bill.
He saw a vendor selling rouge and gouache next to him.
"Boss, how is the Rouge here?" Zhang Jianlai asked.
The boss carefully observed Zhang Jianlai and Guan Mingyue's clothes and appearance, and said: "This young man is very talented, and this girl is as beautiful as a fairy. This rouge is a good product. You two can try it out."
"Oh? Can this boss recommend a rouge for Mingyue to wear?" Zhang Jianlai said with a smile.
The boss said: "This kind of rouge is a treasure at the level of a top-grade fairy weapon. It is rare to find but not to be sought."
Top-grade immortal weapon?
Hearing these four words, Guan Mingyue and Zhang Jianlai's hearts trembled, with disbelief on their faces.
Most people simply cannot afford it, except those from wealthy families.
In this case, this rouge is not cheap.
The boss said, and took out a thumb-sized crystal clear orb from the counter. It exuded soft light and was like a gem.
Zhang Jianlai saw this orb and immediately said, "How can I sell this?"
The boss said: "This orb is a top-grade fairy treasure, and the price is not particularly expensive. I just look at your talents and looks like a jade tree facing the wind, so I gave it to you at a cheaper price."
When Zhang Jianlai heard this, he felt excited and said hurriedly: "I want this treasure. Do you think it can be cheaper?"
"Oh, young master, I see that you are also a good person, so I will give you a cheaper price, three taels of silver." The boss said.
Zhang Jianlai nodded, took out a white silver ingot from his arms and handed it to the boss.
When the boss saw the silver ingot, he was very happy, but his face showed a look of difficulty. He hesitated for a long time before slowly accepting it.
Zhang Jianlai handed the crystal clear orb to Mingyue, glanced at Guan Mingyue with satisfaction and said, "Mingyue, this is my gift to you, do you like it?"
"Of course I like it." Guan Mingyue said happily.
When Zhang Jianlai heard this, a smile flashed in his eyes.
He turned to Guan Tianhai and others and said, "General Guan, what are our plans now?"
Guan Tianhai smiled and said: "Let's find an inn to stay for one night, and then we'll be on our way tomorrow."
Several people came to a nearby inn and stayed there.
This inn is very clean and the decoration inside is also very luxurious.
"Guan Mingyue, you rest for a while, I'll go for a walk outside." Zhang Jianlai said, and then walked out of the room.
Zhang Jian came outside and looked up at the stars in the sky, with a trace of confusion in his eyes.
Unconsciously, he came to the bottom of the city wall.
Standing under the city wall, Zhang Jianlai felt the majestic aura.
At this time, the sound of horse hooves came from far to near.
Immediately afterwards, a horse was seen galloping from a distance and stopped beside Zhang Jianlai.
Zhang Jianlai looked up and saw a knight getting off his horse and walking towards him.
The knight was about twenty years old, wearing black armor and with a stern expression.
"Who are you, Your Excellency? This is my territory in Duyang. No matter who you are, you should leave as soon as possible, otherwise you will not be forgiven!" the knight shouted sternly.
Zhang Jianlai looked at the other party and said calmly: "I'm just passing by."
As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful aura suddenly surged out of Zhang Jianlai's body, pressing towards the opponent.
thump!
The knight was suppressed by this strong momentum and fell to his knees directly on the ground.
The knight knelt on the ground, his face turned pale, his eyes widened, and there was a hint of panic in his eyes.
He never thought that the young man in front of him could be so powerful.
He felt that this young man was anything but simple.
He wanted to escape.
It was just that he was shocked by this powerful momentum just now. He didn't dare to run, so he had no choice but to hold on and kneel on the ground without saying a word.
Zhang Jianlai glanced at the knight kneeling in front of him and was shocked, how could he exude such a powerful aura.
Is it because of the bloodline? Zhang Jianlai guessed in his mind.
He thought for a moment and shook his head.
If the power of blood is so powerful, he should have known it for a long time, so how could he have no impression at all?
The more Zhang Jianlai thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.
After thinking for a moment, he couldn't figure out what was going on, so he simply ignored it and turned around and returned to the house.
Guan Mingyue sat on the bed, watching Zhang Jianlai return, curious in her heart, and asked: "Brother Jianlai, what happened just now? Why don't you look good?"
"It's okay, it's just an uninvited guest. Don't worry about Mingyue, just go to sleep."
Zhang Jianlai smiled faintly, sat at the table, poured a cup of tea, and drank slowly, still wondering about the power he had just felt.
When Guan Mingyue heard Zhang Jianlai's words, she didn't doubt it. She nodded obediently, lifted the quilt and lay down.
Zhang Jianlai took a sip of tea and looked out the window.
Night falls and the sky is filled with stars.
On this day, Zhang Jianlai always had some inexplicable feelings in his heart.
It was as if something was calling him, making him feel uneasy, but he couldn't tell the specific reason.
Not long after, Zhang Jianlai felt his eyelids heavy and fell asleep.
…
Early the next morning, Zhang Jianlai opened his eyes and stretched his hands and feet. He seemed to be in a much happier mood than last night.
He looked at Guan Mingyue beside him, with a slight smile on his lips.
Guan Mingyue also woke up and was looking at Zhang Jianlai with wide eyes.
Guan Mingyue had a dream last night, dreaming that she and Zhang Jianlai were getting married.
That dream was so real that she couldn't bear to open her eyes.
She didn't know why, but she felt extremely happy.
This feeling has never happened before.
When Guan Mingyue thought of this, a hint of shyness arose in her heart.
Guan Mingyue lowered her head and looked at Zhang Jianlai with a blush.
"Mingyue, you're awake." Zhang Jianlai said with a smile, his eyes full of endearment.
Zhang Jian took a look at Guan Mingyue and saw that her face was flushed, she seemed a little shy and a little expectant.
Seeing Guan Mingyue's charming look, Zhang Jianlai's heart skipped a beat and his Adam's apple rolled.
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
