The Yan Kingdom, the dragon and the tiger were located in the territory of the Great Xia Dynasty, ruling hundreds of millions of people, and the territory was even more vast.

As one of the many forces in the territory of the Great Xia Dynasty, the Yan State can be described as a new star, more like a dark horse, which suddenly rose decades ago, miraculously destroyed the previous dynasty in a very short period of time, and replaced it with the founding name "Yan".

And there are many theories about this legendary empire that suddenly rose to prominence. Among them, the most popular is that the Yan State is the main Taoist law to the sky, and the divine power is the world, at that time, he suppressed the weak former dynasty with his own strength, a former dynasty that was gradually encroached upon by the surrounding countries and gradually declined.

It seems that some kind of agreement was reached between the two dynasties, so that the war did not appear on a large scale within the empire, and finally completed the change of dynasty in a very short time.

In the early days of the founding of the Yan State, several neighboring countries were on the border and wanted to annex this new country, but after several years of war, all countries had a rare collective withdrawal of troops and concluded a friendly alliance with the Yan State.

All of this proves the truth of the rumors from the side. The power of the lord of the Yan Empire is monstrous, and he deters the nations! Or to put it another way, there is a presence within the Yan Empire that is feared by the surrounding countries.

In fact, after decades of stable development, the Yan Kingdom has gradually prospered, and has healed the wounds caused by the war, especially in recent years, the country has become more and more prosperous, and among the surrounding countries, there is a dominant trend.

But war will always be a theme that will not fade between countries, just like where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, people are rivers and lakes, and the country itself means war.

Therefore, there will be small frictions and small-scale battles in the border areas for various reasons, but for a vast country that controls hundreds of millions of people, it is nothing.

Ningcheng County, a small county on the border of the Yan Kingdom, although it is also one of the many frontiers of the Yan Empire, but on the contrary, it is very stable here, and it is said that the era when there was no war has surpassed the era of the founding of the Yan State.

Here, perhaps, it has changed people's impression of the bitter cold land on the border, just like her name, stable and quiet.

Some people say that the stability of Ningcheng County is because of its special geographical location, with 100,000 mountains in the north as a natural barrier and the hinterland of Yan in the south, so there was no war. Some people also said that the geographical location can avoid the disaster of foreign races, but it is difficult to avoid the infestation of demon beasts outside the city, so another rumor is more credible, Ningcheng County is a forbidden place of the gods, favored by the immortals, and deters the Quartet!

According to legend, there was a great monk who did not believe such absurd words, and said that he would slaughter this place and overturn this absurd statement, but just when the great monk started, a shocking sword came out of nowhere, and he slashed the great monk alive with thunder, and he did not understand how to die until he died, and became a fool.

So much so that the rumors of the forbidden land of God have spread widely and become even more convincing.

The long-term stability has made this small border county particularly prosperous. As the capital institution of Ningcheng County, Ningcheng has an endless stream of businessmen coming and going, and there is a great phenomenon of crowding this small city.

In Ningcheng in October, there had just been a heavy rain, and the rain was autumn, and the cold was pressing. In the twilight, on the official road outside Ningcheng, a young man was stretched by the afterglow of the setting sun, and the white haze next to his mouth seemed to show the chill of this late autumn.

The young man was not very old, carrying a bag wrapped in animal skins, and his black hair looked a little messy, mixed with a few thatchs, like a refugee fleeing the famine. Its clothes were ragged and looked extremely thin, which was really out of place in this cold autumn. If you look closely, you can see that there are even some dried blood stains left on it, but I don't know what has happened.

Pedestrians on the official road one after another, perhaps because of the cold, or because of their eagerness to return home, did not stop to pay attention to anything when they passed by the teenagers, but only revealed a look of disgust or sympathy in their eyes. Because the stability of Ningcheng often caused refugees from neighboring county towns to pour in, they were not surprised.

At this time, most of the pedestrians were people who collected medicine and hunted in the villages and towns around Ningcheng, and they went in and out of the edge of the 100,000 mountains, although it was a little dangerous, but they made a small business according to this, and the profits were also very considerable, enough to support their families.

"Hey, let's go home early, I heard that it has been very unpeaceful recently, and there are rare anomalies in the wilderness, and it is said that there is something amazing about it!"

"Shhh, I've heard that there have been several waves of immortals flying in the air who have entered the depths of the wilderness to find out!"

"Let's just talk about the city, haven't you noticed that there have been more people with faces recently? And even the City Lord's Mansion has posted a notice that those who can provide useful clues about the reckless vision will have a huge reward. ”

Most of the pedestrians on the official road were discussing the same thing at the whistle, and there were different opinions, but when the aftermath of the words reached the ears of the young man, the young man seemed very calm and did not show the curiosity that he should have at his age!

The young man, who was on the road half a month ago, did not hear the name of the mountain, only along the waterway, after half a month of life and death ordeals, he came along the waterway, and finally walked out of the endless mountain.

Squirming his throat, biting his chapped lips, looking at the city in front of him like a mountain in front of him, Su Chen walked slowly. Tattered straw sandals, stepping on a long road, on a sallow, bloodless cheek, but there is a bright and clear eye revealing a determined gaze.

"Twenty years in the deep cellar, six flavors of life in the bones, too liquid and dark fragrance......"

"The best daughter ...... red"

Before entering the city, I heard a shout coming from the front, and in the cold wind, I saw a wine flag "hulahula" on a small wine stall.

Although there is no fragrance floating for ten miles, Su Chen, who is passing by the small wine stall at this moment, also smells the strong aroma of wine, and his face is intoxicated, at this moment, for Su Chen, it seems to be very luxurious.

The shopkeeper, who was busy with business, originally saw the pedestrians who stopped and wanted to shout, "Guest officer, please sit down!", but when he looked at Su Chen's outfit, he looked cold, and the words that were originally on his lips were swallowed hard, and he didn't look at it, and continued to greet the guests.

Su Chen felt the attitude of the shopkeeper, but he didn't care much. Without thinking too much, he walked towards the city gate.

Above the city gate, several bright red flags like blood are evenly planted at the head of the city, and each flag has a word written on it, "Yan"!

The hunting sound in this late autumn cold wind seems to show the bleakness of this cold wind, and it seems to show the majesty of the Yan Dynasty!

In front of the gate of Ningcheng, pedestrians were crowded, and there were two teams of soldiers lined up on both sides, they were wearing silver armor and holding seven-foot red tassel guns.

No one will doubt their strength, and at first glance they are iron-blooded soldiers on the battlefield.

Although Ningcheng is only a small border city, the heritage of this small city cannot be underestimated, but it can be seen from the sergeants guarding the gate that these people are too many people than ordinary people.

Su Chen thought like this, secretly speechless.

In Ningcheng, the usual calm has returned, and the sensation caused by the reckless vision seems to have gradually subsided with the passage of time, after all, such a vision is not something that ordinary people can touch! For most people, it is just a topic to talk about after dinner!

At this time, standing on the bustling street, Su Chen looked a little shabby and inconspicuous compared to the gorgeously dressed and handsome pedestrians who came and went.

However, whenever someone threw a surprised glance at him, Su Chen would look at them extremely calmly, because he knew in his heart: "People are not virtuous and unscrupulous, like rats, in their own ears." Rats live in their place, people choose their places, and different environments create different situations. ”

He is not inferior to them.

The main street of Ningcheng was extremely wide enough to accommodate three or four horse-drawn carriages passing side by side, and the streets were lined with tall commercial buildings, row upon row, of different heights, stretching forward and disappearing at the end of the view.

The afterglow of the twilight sunset is faintly sprinkled on the Jiejie tiles or those bright pavilion cornices, which seems to give the prosperous Ningcheng evening scene in front of you a historical weight, reflecting hundreds of years of peace and prosperity!

Su Chen, who came to Ningcheng for the first time, seemed very unfamiliar with everything in front of him.

All kinds of strange objects on the street dazzled him, and he couldn't help but have the urge to play in his heart, but the reality told him that he couldn't be carefree like the child next door, and it was natural for him to do so.

Immediately, Su Chen stopped for a moment, roughly confirmed the next direction, and walked towards a street.

North of the city, Lin's Pharmacy.

Looking at the shop sign, Su Chen, who had been inquiring all the way, stopped and showed a smile.

Although it was the first time he came to Ningcheng, he was very unfamiliar with this place, but Su Chen was able to find this medicine hall accurately, firstly, this Lin Clan's Medicinal Hall was a very famous pharmacy in Ningcheng, and the location was very good and conspicuous, and secondly, he was very sensitive to the unique smell of medicinal materials. After all, the boring life of medicine seems to occupy most of his childhood.

Looking at the busy pharmacy, Su Chenrao sorted it out seriously and stepped in!
