The master and apprentice were full of food and drink, swaying and walking briskly, and gradually approached the north gate of Syracuse.

The walls of Syracuse City are ten feet high, all of them are piled up of black and bluestone unique to the Northern Regions, and the gaps are glued together with crushed cooked glutinous rice mixed with chicken blood lime and snow water.

The north gate of the city gate is more than five zhang, the whole body is a huge whole cut iron birch mortise and tenon joint butt together, the outer bread on the iron sheet and then pour a huge amount of molten iron and finally nail the fist of the big cold light sharp door nail, a single gate also needs more than a dozen people to slowly push open, it really makes people afraid without a fight, and there are three such city walls and city gates in Snow City!

Ding Qiuyuan glanced at Life-free, and found that Life-free could still keep his face unchanged, but his clenched hands couldn't hide the shock in his heart, after all, the first time he saw this child in the northern Xiongzhen, Life-free was quite earthy.

Syracuse, also known as Iron Snow City, is the lion of the north of the town that never falls.

The Shenwu Empire is east-west, the Tianwei Empire is northwest-southeast, and the northernmost border between the two countries is Snow City. Syracuse belongs to the Shenwu Empire, but the Tianwei Empire also enjoys a large part of the tax revenue, which can be regarded as a joint construction of the two countries.

The strange thing is that Syracuse does not have the tax officials sent by the officials of the two countries who only rush to come once every six months, but the four Syracuse families are more like the managers of Syracuse, and they are governed by the four, but the Syracuse banquet every five years is a hard scene of the four families wrestling their wrists, and it is not enough for outsiders to divide the benefits under the table afterwards.

The four families of Chen Fang and Fan Heng are divided into four major regions, north, southeast, and west, and each has its own business.

Snow City in the middle of Syracuse is the most prosperous and most important area, and the authority and interests of this place should be handed over to the two empires, and the annual tribute tax may be the reason why the two empires are relieved of Syracuse's autonomy. As for which empire is standing behind the four families, and whether there is anyone in power behind the scenes, there are different opinions.

These are all pieces of information that can be obtained with a little effort, and Ding Qiuyuan also told his fate that the experience of cultivating vision and walking the world needs to be accumulated day by day.

And in such a cold winter season, the city gate is still heavily guarded, the armor and iron spears are strictly disciplined, and the armor of the left upper arm of the small commander on duty is printed with the fist-sized bright red word "Chen".

Even if he didn't know much about the military appearance, he faintly felt that the Chen family's army was strict and his combat effectiveness was extraordinary. Thinking of this, the warm jade beads that he wanted to deceive from Chen Yan were still safely placed in the package on his back. At this time, the identities of the two have changed from the original world of difference to the current world of difference. However, the Chen family is still the four biggest ground snakes in Snow City, and Nuan Yuzhu still doesn't think about whether she took it out to play with it a few days ago, and even reminded the master to hurry up, and the dragon can't fight with the head snake when crossing the river.

Carefully inquired and checked, and then let go of the two of them into the city. Walking through the passage of the deep city gate, a noisy heat wave rushed in the face. There is a huge difference between the inside and outside of a gate, and the outside of the city is cold and sleepy, but the city is bustling with activity.

The small vendors selling along the street, the pedestrians rushing to and fro, inns, restaurants, shops, etc., are full of life.

I regret that I ate too much at the post station, and I knew that Syracuse was so prosperous, so I should have eaten in the city and slaughtered the old man.

Thinking that the master took out a hundred taels of silver tickets casually and looked indifferent, and thought that the first meal that the old man invited his apprentice to eat turned out to be Yangchun noodle haggis soup, he felt at a loss.

The two of them continued to walk inside, and every time they entered the herbal medicine shop, they finished running three or four, Ding Qiuyuan estimated that there were more than ten copies of the quenching body fluid, although the life was worry-free, although the qi refining period but the body had reached the stage of metamorphosis, the quenching fluid that could be used was just to consolidate and strengthen and promote the spiritual energy into the body, completely open up the meridians of the whole body, and prepare for future cultivation.

However, there are still two spiritual materials missing, golden chime stone powder and blood spirit flower. The former exercises the toughness of the body, and the latter stimulates the flow of qi and blood through the vital veins. These two spiritual materials have already involved the world of cultivation, and they need to be found at some cost in mortal towns.

ran a few more shops with a small façade, but Ding Qiuyuan still only bought the golden chime stone powder, and the blood spirit flower still did not have a whereabouts.

The shopkeeper looked at Ding Qiuyuan and didn't look like an ordinary person, so he asked Ding Qiuyuan to come to the inner room to talk. The shopkeeper said with a smile: "Sir is not like ordinary rich and noble people, and the small shop is also happy to do business with Mr., but the entire medicinal and spiritual material business in Snow City is controlled by the Chen family, and the blood spirit flower is not without it earlier, but it has been acquired by the Chen family since the beginning of winter." The shopkeeper said and glanced at his life and paused.

Ding Qiuyuan squinted, stroked his beard and said, "It's okay to say that the shopkeeper is here, the old man comes to Syracuse to do business, and it's the same as whoever does it." ”

"The Chen family is still the Chen family. A month ago, the Chen family said in the medicinal herb shop in Syracuse that they needed to find a righteous man who was young and powerful with enough qi and blood. At that time, it was not said what to do to recruit these people, but three days ago, the Chen family announced that they would start to set up a ring three blocks away, and widely distribute hero posts to invite people to fight, claiming that the ring competition would be held today three days later. The requirements are also strange, no one must die but ask for more bloodshed, whether you win or lose afterwards, you can receive a reward and the courtesy of the Chen family from the Chen family. The promise of the Chen family is still very reasonable in this northern region, so many people rush to it. ”

Ding Qiuyuan stood up and arched his hand slightly: "Xie shopkeeper's news, there is nothing left and right, I will take the disciple to take a look and see what kind of score the Chen family is arranged." ”

"No thanks, no thanks, on the contrary, I can make a business for the Chen family, and the shop can get a benefit from the Chen family, as long as Mr. doesn't blame him." The shopkeeper bowed in return. "Xiao Er, take the two distinguished guests to the Chen family ring, and you want to entertain you!" the shopkeeper beckoned to Xiao Er, who was standing by the counter.

"Then thank you, don't worry, let's go and see how this Chen family's fight is played. With that, Ding Qiuyuan took the lead in going out.

Life carefree followed closely, quietly pulled Latin Qiuyuan's sleeve, and whispered flattery: "Master, master, let's not go, I'm not going to be lively, you also know that I don't deal with that Chen Yan, if it happens, isn't it a big incident! Take a step, like you said, let's take a step." ”

"Now that I know I'm scared, it's okay, with the master here, just watch the play with peace of mind. Ding Qiuyuan comforted his life and said without worry.

Under the guidance of the medicine store guys, it didn't take long to find the place where the Chen family set up the ring. It is surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, but fortunately, the place is big enough not to rub shoulders.

In the ring of thirty zhang square, two figures come and go. It seems that the two are still familiar with each other, and their hands and feet are constantly moving, but there is still a conversation without a match.
