Chapter 3 The Appearance of a Great Power
Kaiyuan Mansion is far away from the Tianlan Dynasty, and there are two countries in between, one is the Principality of Yunhai and the other is the Wuming Empire. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
It took Lu Ming and the others a full three months to cross the Principality of Yunhai and reach the borders of the Wuming Empire.
Ningdu, the first city in the northern region of the Wuming Empire, is by no means comparable to Kaiyuan Mansion in terms of prosperity.
After entering Ningdu, Lu Ming and the others were really taken aback, as early as when they were in the Principality of Yunhai, they had heard about the strangeness of the Wuming Empire, and what they saw with their own eyes at this time was especially better than what they heard that day.
I saw that the buildings in the city were lined up one after another, and most of the buildings were more than ten feet high. Lu Ming and the others looked up, and they could even see the tallest building in the center of Ningdu at the city gate.
In addition, although gold, silver, and copper were still used as currency in empires and dynasties, there was an even more popular currency on top of gold, and that was the elixir.
Qi Gathering Pill, this Pill is the most common, and its function is to quickly replenish Dou Qi. In the Wuming Empire, one Qi Gathering Pill could be worth ten taels of gold.
In addition to the Qi Gathering Pill, there are several generic pills that can be used as currency.
"Brother, look, that sister is so beautiful!"
Lu Ming and the others looked at it, and saw a beautiful figure above a high-rise building of more than 20 zhang, the woman was holding a sharp sword in her hand, dancing with sword flowers, and her posture was like a fairy in the world.
In the end, the woman stopped, and only the woman's face was left in the picture, and the woman smiled, "Produced by Yuxian, it must be a high-quality product, and there are three styles of Qinghong famous sword to choose from."
Lu Ming was dumbfounded, this picture was exactly the same as the advertisement on the earth, but the illusion made by this illusion was as real as it was, much more clever than a simple image.
"The illusion weapon that is regarded as a treasure by Mingyue Tower is so widespread in Ningdu", but almost all the shops in Ningdu have similar illusions above them, which is why Lu Ming sighed so much.
Along the way, Lu Ming and others have seen countless novel refining works, which have penetrated deep into the people's livelihood and brought great convenience to the people.
"Ningdu is just a major city in the north of the Wuming Empire, so it has such a prosperous situation, I really don't know what the Lan Dynasty will look like that day", Lu Ming couldn't help but have some expectations in his heart.
At this time, an eight- or nine-year-old boy suddenly came to Lu Ming and the others, "Childe, Miss, do you need to lead the way?" I'm very familiar with Ningdu, and for just one or two pieces of silver, I can take you where you want to go."
This young man's tone is not small, and the asking price is not low.
Lu Ming said with a smile, "We first arrived in Ningdu and were looking for a place to stay, do you have a good recommendation?"
The young man did not answer, but stretched out his right hand towards Lu Ming.
Lu Ming smiled at Fluttershy, "Fluttershy, give him a gold tael."
Fluttershy nods, then walks up to the boy, crouches down, and places a tael of gold in the palm of his hand.
The boy is stunned, but instead of being stunned by the gold tael, he is attracted to the little red lying on Fluttershy's shoulder.
"Sister Fluttershy, why does he keep staring at you?" , Xiaohong asked.
Everyone laughed, and the young man was immediately embarrassed, then quickly turned around and said to everyone, "Yunlai Inn is economical, and most Yunhai people who come to Ningdu for the first time will choose Yunlai Building."
This young man obviously regarded Lu Ming and the others as people from the Principality of Yunhai.
Yunlai Inn occupies a small area, and the layout is very simple, but the inn is spotless and very refreshing. Lu Ming was quite satisfied with this place, and then decided to stay.
When it was time to pay the bill, Lu Ming learned that the young man was actually the young owner of the Yunlai Inn.
During the dinner in the evening, the young man came to Lu Ming and the others with two bottles of fine wine, "Daddy said thank you for taking care of the business of Yunlai Inn, and let me send you two bottles of home-brewed sake for you to taste."
Yunlai Inn is not as prosperous as the young man said at the beginning, and Lu Ming and the others are indeed suspected of being deceived. However, this place is far away from the neighborhood, less noisy on the streets, and it is indeed a good place to stay.
Lin Yuntian said with a smile, "It's a pity that there is food and no wine, we will laugh at this drink."
After Lin Yuntian took the drink, Lu Ming said to the young man, "I'm waiting for the first time here, and I want to ask the little brother about something, I wonder if the little brother can sit down and talk?" ”
The young man glanced at Xiao Hong, who was eating happily with a bowl of rice, and then nodded with a red face.
After the young man sat down, Lu Ming asked, "I don't know what the little brother is called?" ”
"My name is Hu Xiaoyun"
After some exchanges, Lu Ming learned a lot of information from Hu Xiaoyun's mouth.
"Brother Xiaoyun, do you know how to get to the Tianlan Dynasty from here, how to get there the fastest?"
Hu Xiaoyun was surprised, "You want to go to the Tianlan Dynasty?" ”
Lu Ming nodded, and Hu Xiaoyun said, "The emperor has a portal to connect to the Tianlan Dynasty, but it costs a million taels of gold for each person to teleport."
"A million taels of gold!" , Yan Junyao was surprised, they only brought a million taels of gold on this trip, which means that all the money on Lu Ming's body is only enough for one person to transmit.
"Little brother, is there no other way?" , Qin Qin asked.
Hu Xiaoyun said, "There are a total of thirty-one large states in the Wuming Empire, and Ningdu is located in the north of the Wuming Empire, if you want to go to the Tianlan Dynasty, you must pass through thirteen of them, and if you calculate it in terms of horsepower, it will take at least a few years."
"However, Ningdu has many flying machines and flying beasts, the fastest of which can reach the borders of the Tianlan Dynasty in just a few days."
Lu Ming asked, "Then where can I get this kind of flying machine?" ”
Hu Xiaoyun said, "The bigger commercial houses have them, but I don't know the price."
After a meal, Lu Ming and the others were shocked to find that although this Hu Xiaoyun was only a teenager, his knowledge was very extensive, and he knew almost everything from all over the world.
Just as Hu Xiaoyun was proud, a man's voice suddenly sounded, "You don't have to be surprised, everything in this kid's mouth was learned from the academy."
"Daddy......"
This man is Hu Xiaoyun's father, Hu Yu.
After the man sat down, he said to everyone, "The various academies in the empire only focus on the cultivation of military strategy, government affairs, and martial arts, so the history and geography of the Yuan and Ming continents are the most basic knowledge. This kid always shows off his knowledge every time he brings a guest back, but it's just something from a book."
Lu Ming couldn't help but smile bitterly, he didn't know until this moment that the so-called principalities, kingdoms, and empires were by no means just differences in territorial area and title.
The next day, Lu Ming asks Fluttershy and the three daughters to take Xiaohong and Xiaobai to wander around Ningdu, while he and Lin Yuntian go to the shops in Ningdu to inquire about the status of the aircraft.
