Chapter 122: North City
Beicheng is located in the extreme north of Daqi is the border, except for a tall city wall in the direction of Su Shen, the rest of the place is a low wall, used to guard against spirit beasts but there is no defense for pedestrians in Daqi, Su Shen direction two towering mountains directly guard here, a wall when the pass is not opened.
Except for the northern city, the rest of the area is sparsely populated, which is also the reason for the geographical location: first, it is located in the severe cold, the grass and trees are withered and even covered with snow, and the second is that the crowd in the military area is more and more concentrated, but the obviously clear sky also looks cool, and it will take a month to wait for the warmth here.
The north city is very lively, there is a vigorous atmosphere, the mountains here are rugged, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the cautious in the distance is a horse and a flat river.
Wang Chuxuan came to this northern realm in a more and more comfortable mood, and soon he was about to enter the solemn prudence.
Tang Wen's face has become serious since he returned to Beicheng, his ruffian nature has become polite, and he reprimands his subordinates at every turn, which is very imposing.
Wang Chuxuan was stunned, but he thought of the stubbornness he showed when he met him for the first time, and then he was relieved, after all, this was his home and he was an officer here.
When everyone came to General Tang's mansion, Wang Chuxuan looked at the entire mansion building curiously, and felt that it was not much different from the assassin organization, but it was more clean and magnificent.
The first thing Tang Wen did after he came back was to sort out the existing documents, because it was impossible to say which piece of information had Yiqing's clues, or the secret report of the secret eyeliner;
Wang Chuxuan naturally couldn't understand these things, picked them up at random, then shook his head and put them down, he couldn't understand any money, military rations, and the like.
After several people discussed, they went to purchase important materials with Tang Youlan and Princess Wenjing to go to Su Shen.
Tang Wen sighed helplessly, and within a few days of going out, the table was full of official documents and letters of intelligence type.
After rubbing his brain, he began to sort out the case, hoping to find the corresponding clues for Wang Chuxuan, which is also related to the safety of the princess.
I picked up a book casually, and it was written: The cavalry captured a group of iron guard prisoners and a group of civilian refugees who fled cautiously, and the prisoners were all low-level recruits with extremely poor combat effectiveness.
Tang Wen was a little disappointed, Su Shen didn't know what the chaos was now, but all the subordinates of the former eldest prince fled.
Even rushing to this side to be a slave doesn't stay in his own country, is that new Tu Ziheng so iron-blooded and difficult to deal with? Do you want to fight over and see if you can gain something? After thinking about it, he shook his head, and it wasn't his own family, he could mess up as much as he liked.
"Captives? Well, you can let them use the identity of natives to be cautious, which can be regarded as an identity. After speaking, he separated the official document from the original official document and put it aside.
I checked a few more official documents, but they were all trivial matters that were not worth mentioning.
After a casual letter, the spirit suddenly came: Su Shen Prince Tu Ziheng seized the throne and became the king, exterminated the original big prince faction, and the last Su Shen Xiaoxiao princess relied on the fortifications to retreat to the border city, and Su Shen sent three thousand iron guards to attack, surround and attack the border city, but the border city is too steep, and the two sides are currently maintaining a stalemate stage, but it seems that the border city has no generals, no strong men, no support, no way to retreat, and it can only last for three months at most.
Tang Wen frowned, the most convenient way to enter the territory of Sushen from the north city is the border city in front of him, the same border is a dangerous place at the moment, although this opportunity is good, Wang Chuxuan and they don't need three months, but if Tu Ziheng's attack is too strong, will the princess be in danger?
Forget it, let's take a look at something else.
Wang Chuxuan, Princess Wen Jing and Tang Youlan came to the street, looking at the noisy and lively street market, Wen Jing and Tang Youlan suddenly walked around with their eyes lit up.
Wang Chuxuan followed the two all the way, Wen Jing came here for the first time, Tang Youlan was responsible for leading the way, pointing along the way to introduce the local customs, the two of them are the best dressed up and a dignified and beautiful, a charming and moving, although they are not very old, but they are also alluring the country and the city, a few people because they did not bring guards and subordinates, suddenly attracted many passers-by to rest assured and bold onlookers.
Princess Wenjing and Tang Youlan seemed to have long been accustomed to this kind of scene, with a calm attitude and a calm expression, but Wang Chuxuan couldn't stand the surprised eyes of passers-by, so he had to put on an assassin mask to cover his face to calm his heart.
Wang Chuxuan thought that he would suffer if the three of them went shopping all the way, worried that the two girls would buy and buy at once, and he could only be responsible for carrying them.
However...... Tang Youlan is not used to seeing it, she is only watching and buying some snacks along the way, Princess Wenjing has always been very dignified, from Wang Chuxuan's point of view, her waist is straight and talking about the surroundings little by little, both her movements and demeanor are very elegant, which attracts passers-by to her side even more.
Wang Chuxuan looked left and right, and accidentally saw some small objects placed by street vendors, which were very strange in shape, and even some things flashed with strange lights.
Curious, he walked over and asked, "Hello, what is this?" Pointing to the small glowing box, there was only a leak above the box, and the light inside seemed to run outward, but each time it was blocked by a faint film on the outside of the box.
The vendor smiled, "This is the ice firefly unique to Su Shen, this little thing is trapped in this box, just press it lightly." As he spoke, he pressed down on the lower end of the box.
Blue flames immediately erupted from the opening of the box, but it was not hot at all but cold, and the vendor immediately became cold.
Wang Chuxuan looked at this small box in surprise, his mouth was full of white gas, and his hands trembled a little unhappily, this flame was really cold and thorough.
"This ...... What for?"
"You don't know this? Su Shen is in the far north, there are no boats, the ground is ice, but sometimes the ice is still not frozen, at that time if you want to go over, you rely on it, but this is a trophy, and the gap between it and the actual Su Shen military is too big, at most it is an ornamental object, or it is used to cool down when the weather in the south is too high, or it is also a lighting object. ”
"So many uses, isn't that expensive, how much?"
The vendor looked at him inexplicably, and said suspiciously: "Thirty yuan, is it very expensive?" After speaking, he pointed to the price sign next to him and motioned for Wang Chuxuan to take a look, this is a time-honored stall that is not bullied.
Wang Chuxuan exclaimed, such a useful thing will be sold for thirty yuan, and after speaking, he stretched out his hand and took it out of his arms, and then pointed to another thing.
"What is this?"
Princess Wen Jing and Tang Youlan were chatting slowly while walking, after all, Wen Jing heard Wang Chuxuan's exclamation from a long distance when the sixth-stage martial artist looked back, and when he looked back, he found that it was not good, Wang Chuxuan was lost.
Hurriedly ran in the direction where Wang Chuxuan's voice came from, and was surprised to find that Wang Chuxuan was asking in front of the inconspicuous vendor.
"What is this called?"
......
"So what's the use of this, this?"
......
"And this, isn't this a legendary magic weapon?"
"Hey, you're talking about this, it's just an ordinary child's toy!"
"Oh, it's not a magic weapon, but I want it too, and I want it for whatever you want. ”
Wen Jing and Tang Youlan looked at Wang Chuxuan in surprise, and saw that there were already a lot of things placed next to him, and after looking at them for a long time, they walked over and asked, "That Chu Xuan, why do you buy so many things?"
Wang Chuxuan said excitedly: "Hey! Look at this, such a delicate and peculiar gadget is very useful. ”
Wen Jing was puzzled: "Yes...... Really?"
Tang Youlan smiled dumbly, "Wang Gongzi, you are really conscious, how are you going to bring it back after you buy it?"
Wang Chuxuan was stunned for a moment, yes, this is a problem, seeing that all the vendors' things were bought by themselves, he couldn't carry them with his own hands, he was only a while, and there were still a lot of materials that had not been purchased, so he fell into thought.
Wen Jing shook her head a little funny, Tang Youlan reluctantly stepped forward and said to the vendor: "Please send these things to the General's Mansion, I am Tang Youlan." ”
The vendor was immediately shocked, his eyes were full of surprise, and he hurriedly saluted: "No problem, it turns out to be the eldest lady, I'll send it now." ”
While wrapping it up, Wang Chuxuan made a fuss and told him to pay attention to safety, don't break it, it looks very precious.
