Mu Liang City Official Road
After simply eating and drinking, we left the roadside wine shop and headed towards Mu Liang City in Qiye.
Along the way, there was an endless stream of people entering the city, and cars and horses came and went in all shapes and sizes. The entire official road into the city is even more lively. There are countless stalls and vendors on the roadside, which is like a festival temple fair. There is a dazzling array of products: from rouge, gouache, gold and silver ornaments, to large swords, guns, swords, halberds, vehicles and horses, everything is available. . Buyers are also happy with it...
Qiye rode his horse and walked slowly among the crowds, while taking in the sights along the roadside. The previous Iron Wolf Escort Team had already entered the city, but Qiye looked around at some stalls calmly and leisurely, just like a country bumpkin coming to the city to see the world.
However, it is no wonder that Qiye is so novel about the things at every stall. Strictly speaking, this is the first time he has been to the city since he was so old. Although many things have images in his memory, when he actually saw them with his own eyes, his eyes lit up with new eyes. The feeling of being amazed shocked Qiye.
It's like when you are inland, you always hear that the sea is boundless and rough, but when you actually see it with your own eyes, you find that what you see is ten times more shocking than what you hear.
"Wow, this hosta is so beautiful~"
"Wow, these earrings are so beautiful~"
"Wow, this bracelet is so exquisitely carved~"
Wow..., wow..., wow...
Qiye stopped by a jewelry stall, admiring one exquisite jewelry after another with sparkling eyes and full of praise. At this moment, he looked like a child who had discovered a new world, like a child full of innocence, kindness and cuteness, staring attentively and intently. Ornaments on the stall.
The stall owner on the side looked at Qiye making a fuss with some dissatisfaction as if he were a fool. These products are nothing more than ordinary street stall goods, just to meet the aesthetic needs of women living at the bottom. Although they are made of slightly thin gold and silver, gold and silver are not such great precious metals in this world.
Seeing Qiye looking so worthless, the stall owner couldn't help but feel contempt in his heart: Huh, at first glance, he looks like a poor boy who has never seen the world. These things are making such a fuss, and he won't be blinded when he enters the city.
"Let's go, let's go... Brat, if you don't want to buy, don't delay my business here. Go and have some fun." Finally, the stall owner couldn't bear Qiye's ignorance and rudely turned away the customers.
Seeing the stall owner who had been silent for a long time, he finally couldn't help but leave. Qiye seemed to have woken up from the excitement just now. It seemed that he was a little too excited and let others look down upon him.
"Uh...it seems like I'm embarrassed~" After realizing it, Qiye smiled and said quite self-deprecatingly. I don’t blame the stall owner for his ruthless banishment. He suppressed his childlike curiosity and continued to mount his horse and headed towards the city gate.
Although there were several rows of officers and soldiers stationed at the city gate, they did not check passing luggage, but allowed passers-by to enter and exit freely. There are no people or anything going on, and compared to the traffic intersections we encountered in the previous seven nights, this place is much peaceful.
Walking into the city gate, Qiye looked at it carefully. This is a city wall more than twenty meters high. Huge rocks are piled into a thick, ten-meter-high circular arch. On both sides of the arch are two simple, painted yellow wooden doors. The wooden doors are covered with doornails the size of wooden fish. Each door is nailed with wooden fish-sized doornails. Each doornail is plated with a layer of distilled gold, and the two wooden doors are dazzling, solid and dignified. The entire city gate looks majestic and makes people look up to it.
"It is indeed a fourth-class county city. It is indeed much grander than a fifth-class common city!" Looking up, Qiyeqing couldn't help but sigh. Just comparing the gate of Muliang City to the gate of Hanling City in his impression, With such a huge gap, it is true that every level of difference in status between cities cannot be compared.
Mu Liang City has a population of 600,000, and the city lord's highest strength is 'Fourth Level Mid-term Battle Soul Level'... Qiye once again filtered the relevant information in his mind.
He held his breath and walked through the city gate. Even if he actually entered the city, Qiye was stunned and overwhelmed by the prosperous scene in front of him.
The wide and clean bluestone streets are lined with endless shops of various sizes on both sides, with dazzling flags of various colors flying outside the shops. Pedestrians on the street are dressed in different styles. The gentlemen are elegant and graceful, while the women are graceful and graceful, with colorful ribbons fluttering. Every street is packed with people, and there is a steady stream of shouts, cries, and horses' bells coming from all directions... …Sounds enter the ears, one after another.
"There are so many people!" Qiye was stunned by the bustling scene in front of him. He stood there stupidly, his mind went blank for a moment, and he was slightly stunned. It took him a long time to utter a sincere sigh. After swallowing a little, he mustered up the courage to take a step forward and lead the horse into the torrent of people.
"Um, brother, hello, how do I get to Iron Wolf Escort Agency?" Qi Ye asked a passerby helplessly after wandering around aimlessly and at a loss.
"Iron Wolf Escort Agency, here, just go straight ahead on this road." The young man looked at Qiye, who was wearing simple clothes, and gestured to the end of the road by pouting.
"Well, thank you!" Qiye didn't mind being looked down upon and briefly thanked him, then continued along the path pointed by the man. After more than an hour of slow progress, Qiye finally arrived at an open square.
At the end of the square, Qiye saw a majestic and simple courtyard. In front of the tall main entrance, several strong men were guarding it. On the left and right side of the door steps, a pair of two-meter-tall, exquisitely carved stone lions looked up and roared. It is intimidating and one dare not approach easily. The plaque on the main entrance is engraved with four powerful golden characters:
Iron Wolf Escort Agency.
"It seems that this Iron Wolf Escort Agency is quite powerful..." Qiye murmured in a low voice, quietly watching the huge manor courtyard for a while, and began to make new plans in his mind:
Unexpectedly, this Iron Wolf Escort Agency is quite impressive. It seems that trying to sneak in and get a job as a handyman is not feasible. How can such a huge family group look down on poor and humble people? It seems that we need to think long term...
"Hey, yes!" Qiye's mind was active. He had just denied it at the last moment, and then an idea suddenly flashed in his mind: a more practical idea appeared in his mind. Only after calmly and carefully examining the details of every action in this plan can the plan be confirmed.
According to the plan, everything is ready and all we need is the east wind. What should we do in this free time? Qiye glanced around the square at random and suddenly found an inn not far from Iron Wolf Escort Agency. On the plaque of the inn, there are four big characters written "Fu Lai Inn".
Seeing this, Qiye smiled knowingly, then led the horse and walked leisurely towards the inn.
"Master, do you want to eat or stay in a hotel?" In front of the inn, the waiter took the horse rope from Qiye's hand in a familiar manner and asked.
"Stay in the hotel!" Qiye said simply and walked into the inn, as if he often stayed in hotels.
"Housekeeper, I have a single room for one person. How many nights can I stay with this silver coin?" Qiye walked leisurely to the head-height counter of the inn and threw a silver coin on the counter casually and asked. When I first arrived, I didn't know much about the purchasing power of a silver coin in this fourth-class county, so I just threw it out to test the waters.
"One night..." An older bookkeeper with wrinkles on his face stopped writing and glanced at the shining silver coin on the counter, then glanced at Qiye, who was not as high as the counter, and replied calmly with no expression on his face. road.
"Oh, shopkeeper, lying to children and spreading the word will damage the reputation of your shop..." Qiye said with a half-truth. Although he asked casually just now, his eyes were always staring at the old shopkeeper. eyes. And just one night after the old shopkeeper answered, his eyes flashed with a hint of mistiness, which Qiye, a sharp-eyed person, captured with great precision.
"Ahem, two nights." As if the young master in front of him had guessed the clue, the old shopkeeper coughed twice to calm his guilty conscience and whispered.
"I didn't expect that in Mu Liang City, next to the Iron Wolf Escort Agency, there would be such a shop with no integrity. I think this 'Fu Lai Inn' can be improved..." Although the old shopkeeper has already said, "The truth is "Price", but Qiye still felt that the old shopkeeper must have something to hide, otherwise he would not have changed his mind so simply.
"Three nights..." The old shopkeeper felt quite humiliated, and finally gritted his teeth and spit out the actual price.
Unexpectedly, I thought that a few-year-old kid who had just arrived and was unfamiliar with the place could be fooled easily. I didn’t expect that the other party was not so easy to deceive! If it weren't for the fact that there were customers in the store and the store was located next to the Iron Wolf Escort Bureau, so the story of the store's bullying of customers could not be spread easily, I would have gone crazy and lectured this kid on the spot.
However, if the old shopkeeper can know that Qiye is a collection of three people's life experiences, how can the naive deception of the world escape Qiye's fiery eyes?
"Ten nights, the rest will be recorded in the account." Already knowing the answer, Qiye stopped making trouble and simply threw out four silver coins.
"Tsk... Guest please come upstairs, room No. 7, Xuanzi, guest officer 1!~" The waiter on the side, after witnessing the two people's brief exchange of games, looked at the young but extremely sophisticated young man in front of him. , took a breath of cold air, and after a long time he took the house card thrown from the old shopkeeper's hand and raised his voice to sing.
Qiye ignored it and followed the waiter's lead to a room near the corner on the second floor. He took a look at the room, which might seem a little quiet due to its remote location.
However, this is also in line with his quiet personality, and he is extremely satisfied with it. The waiter checked briefly and saw that there was no obvious displeasure on Qiye's face before he opened the door with confidence.
"Okay, you go down first. I'll call you if anything happens..." Qiye waved his hand and said to the waiter, then walked straight into the room and closed the door.
After carefully checking the room and finding nothing fishy, he sat upright on the bed and with a backhand move, a stream of spiritual power shot out and enveloped the entire room. After making all the preparations, Qiye waved his hand and took out two spiritual rings from the void.
This period of time has been full of twists and turns. I don't even have time to make good use of it, and now I finally have the opportunity to carefully check what treasures are in the spiritual ring.
Although Han Qi has the memory, some of the stored treasures have been forgotten for too long, and some of them do not know their functions and uses. So Qiye planned to take advantage of this period of free time to take a good look at it.
