Chapter 244: Opening the House
Ends.
Starting from the Western Wilderness, go to the extreme north to look for snow lotus, watch the sunrise in the east, and fish in the South China Sea. This is a route agreed upon by Tiansheng and Gu Tianxue.
After the two separated from the polar bear, they left the extreme north with the 10,000-year-old snow lotus, and the sword flew towards the east like a rainbow.
After a long journey of one day and one night, the two landed in a small city.
This is a small town in the northeast barren, although the scale of the city is not large, and the streets are not so prosperous, but it is very exotic.
On the streets, from time to time, hunters drag their prey into the city. In the tavern, a woman danced an exotic dance, which attracted a burst of applause from the drunkards in the audience.
He was not interested in drinking by nature, but this dance was quite attractive, but after looking at Gu Tianxue beside him, he still dispelled this idea.
The weather here is very cold, and everyone wears leather jackets made of thick animal furs, which is good for keeping warm. But the strange thing is that both men and women have their right arms exposed, as if they are not afraid of the cold, and they are dressed very strangely.
"Beef jerky, sell beef jerky. ”
"Lamb skewers, hot lamb skewers, delicious and cheap. ”
Street vendors are hawking, trying to attract the attention of pedestrians on the side of the road and do a little more business before closing their stalls in the evening. Perhaps the weather was too cold, pedestrians were in a hurry, and there was no business for a long time.
"Guests from afar, come and try our Jiangcheng mutton skewers. It's delicious and not expensive. ”
Gu Tianxue was wearing a purple and blue dress, and she was born wearing a black suit, although the clothes of the two were different, they had a common feature, light and thin.
With their current cultivation, even in the cold climate of the far north, the two of them would not feel the slightest.
Therefore, the owner of the mutton kebab stall is quite discerning, and he noticed the difference between the two at a glance, and tried every means to attract business for himself.
At the same time, she glanced at Gu Tianxue pitifully.
"Want to eat?"
Born to nod.
"Do you really want to eat?"
Naturally nodded wildly.
"Okay. ”
Gu Tianxue's heart moved, and she directly took a gold ingot from the space ring and threw it to Tiansheng. This gold ingot is extremely thick, and it is quite heavy when you hold it in your hand.
"My Royal Highness Princess, I'm eating lamb skewers, but I can't afford so much money. ”
As he spoke, he threw the gold ingot back again, walked up to the stall owner wearing a white round hat, and asked, "Stallholder, how much is this string?"
The stall owner stretched out a hand and indicated, "Guest officer, a string of copper plates." ”
"Then give me thirty first, oh no, just fifty strings. ”
"Okay. ”
When the stall owner saw that there was a big business, he began to get busy with a smile, and Gu Tianxue on the side paid directly under the naturally pitiful eyes.
Xu bought too much at once, and the stall owner made it for a while before it was all baked.
It was dark, and the two walked on the road, eating meat skewers comfortably while looking for an inn. I plan to stay for the time being, and then leave early tomorrow morning.
After walking for most of the city, the two finally saw a somewhat dilapidated inn.
"Owner, bring us a nice room. "As soon as he entered the door, he was born to shout loudly.
Seeing that a guest was coming, the innkeeper hurriedly greeted him. He is also an understanding person, carefully looking at the two of them, and his flattering smile is like a mouse that has become a sperm.
"Okay officer, I'll get you one right away, it's big and wide, it's perfect for both of you. "The innkeeper is looking at the natural, I know you are relieved.
"Stop. ”
The boss was about to leave when he was stopped by a cold voice.
"What's the matter, guest officer, what else do you have to order?" The innkeeper turned his head suspiciously, looked at Gu Tianxue and asked.
"Two rooms. ”
The two short words made the boss stunned, and after reacting later, he asked respectfully: "Two guest officers, do you want one or two, have you decided on it?"
"One. ”
"Two rooms. ”
The two spoke in unison and glanced at each other. Born with wide eyes and a puffing look.
Seeing this, Gu Tianxue was almost amused, forced a smile, and said with a reluctant look: "Okay, listen to him, it's okay." ”
The two followed the innkeeper to the guest room on the second floor, and after closing the door, they naturally lay directly on the bed, feeling the softness of the big bed, and a sense of happiness arose.
"Lie down, hurry down for me, this big bed belongs to this princess. ”
"What about me?"
"Lay your own floor. ”
"Ah......" was born with a surprised face, but he smiled evilly and pounced directly: "What kind of floor to pave, the Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold, and the husband is here." ”
"Bang"
With a loud bang, he was born to live up to expectations and was kicked out of bed.
He rubbed his ass aggrievedly and began to honestly lay on the floor, but he still shouted: "Dare to kick your husband, be careful that I divorce you." ”
Gu Tianxue covered her mouth and chuckled: "You and I are not married yet, we should have slept in separate beds, who told you to only open one room." ”
"Hmph. ”
I didn't want to say more, so I fell asleep with my head covered in a huff. Seeing this, Gu Tianxue shook her head with a smile, got up and carefully arranged the quilt covering him, and then blew out the oil lamp.
"Good night. ”
She leaned over and whispered in her natural ear before tiptoeing back to bed, ready to rest.
The bright moonlight shone into the room through the window, and at this time, the eyes were closed, and the natural child, who seemed to have fallen asleep, had a smile on his face. The mouth was grinning, secretly rejoicing in the moonlight.
……
At the same time, on the walls of the frontier city, small groups of soldiers patrolled and walked by from time to time.
The moonlight poured like frost on this small city, and even though it was late at night, the soldiers could still clearly distinguish people and objects through the moonlight.
But suddenly, there seemed to be a large dark cloud covering the moon, and the moonlight was instantly blocked.
The patrolling soldiers on the city wall, sensing that something was wrong, all looked at the sky in unison. I saw that in the sky, the moon like a silver disk was obscured by a behemoth.
It was a big ship, a ship floating in the sky, and the soldiers in the small border town had never seen such a scene, and they were all shocked.
But soon someone reacted: "Hurry, there is an enemy invasion, prepare for battle." ”
The soldiers on the city walls suddenly became alert and fell asleep.
"Huh"
With a light that soared into the sky, a huge sound exploded in the air, and the whole city suddenly came alive from its slumber. Every house in the city lit up, like a little starlight, twinkling and twinking.
The able-bodied men, armed with knives, guns and clubs, rushed out of the house as if they were facing a great enemy.
After the explosion, there was a constant noise in the inn. After being woken up, Zhengxiang, who was sleeping, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and slowly went downstairs to see what the situation was.
But as soon as I went down to the second floor, I saw the innkeeper and the shopkeeper, one holding a kitchen knife, about to go out.
"Boss, what's wrong with you?"
"Guest officer, you two stay in the inn and don't come out, it's dangerous outside. ”
"What the hell is going on?" asked Nature, who was much more sober, strangely.
After the boss's explanation, he learned that this small city was located in the border wilderness, surrounded by no people, and it was a lonely city.
Therefore, the bandits were rampant, and from time to time they would come to the city to plunder, and leave after robbing. In order to resist the bandits, all the people in the city are soldiers, and as long as the bandits invade, every family must defend the city. Now that the alarm sounds, I am afraid that another bandit is coming.
After the innkeeper hurriedly explained a few words to Tiansheng, he went out, but he was stunned on the spot, and the whole street was full of people, all looking into the sky.
Tiansheng also rushed out, and he was stunned at the same time.
"A flying ship?"
The innkeeper's mouth was wide open, speechless in astonishment, he had never seen such a sight, it was too terrifying for him.
"Cloud ship battleship. ”
Born equally surprised, but not surprised by the ship itself. But this place is far away from the Central Plains, and he didn't expect that the power of the imperial kingdom would have touched such a small border city.
He suddenly had a very bad premonition.
