Chapter 45
The brothers Daniel Zhang and Zhang Meng had to go to other places to transport goods, so they left early in the morning. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Guo Tianqi originally wanted Dongfang Tianma to stay for a few more days, but he still insisted on saying goodbye, since the departure of Fengqi Village to the present, he has experienced so many things, and more than half a year has passed, the farther away from his hometown, the more heavy homesickness he has, and now he just wants to arrive at the imperial capital as soon as possible to finish all the things that should be done.
"Really not longer a few more days?" Guo Tianqi's eyes were like a poor girl, which made Dongfang Tianma almost couldn't help but change his words.
"I heard Daniel Zhang say that you are going to the imperial capital, I have a good friend over there, if you have no place to live there, you can go to this place to find him." Guo Tianqi handed over a note with the address and name written on it, Dongfang Tianma didn't look at it carefully, took it and said thank you and put it in his pocket.
Guo Tianqi said again: "The idler's town is remote, and if you want to travel too far to the imperial capital, just be my private buoyancy boat." ”
The servant on the side said with a surprised face: "Master, only you have the right to ride this private buoyancy boat, and even the ladies in the house are not allowed to ......."
Guo Tianqi stretched out his hand to stop the servant's words, "Brother Tianma is a different matter, he is now a little hero who earns back face for our idler's town, and he is qualified to be on an equal footing with me in both reasonableness and reason." ”
Dongfang Tianma wanted to politely refuse, but after thinking about it, this was the only way to get to the imperial capital quickly, if he didn't take a buoyancy boat, he didn't know how many days and moons would be delayed on the road, so he didn't say yes.
The buoyancy boat of Guo Zhai is privately customized by craftsmen, and the surface is sprayed with sea blue lacquer, and the black Guo character is printed on it, which is also a small buoyancy boat, which can only accommodate two people. The person in charge of driving is also Guo Zhai's domestic servant, named Xiaofei, who is the same age as Dongfang Tianma.
"Brother Tianma, sit tight." Xiao Fei reminded him, skillfully manipulating the gear lever, the buoyancy boat quickly rose from the ground to dozens of meters above the ground, and then sprayed a powerful spiral air flow under the power generated by the energy seed soul stone, and disappeared into the clouds to the south in the blink of an eye.
Guo Tianqi looked up at the buoyancy boat that was gradually turning into a small dot in the sky, a vague smile floated on his lips, and he instructed the servant standing on the side with his hands down: "Let someone go and send a letter to the leader, just say that I have found a capable soul tattoo soldier, and I hope that the organization will send someone to contact it, and if possible, try to include it in the establishment." ”
The violent air currents blew Dongfang Pegasus' eyes blinking, but he still excitedly looked at the beautiful scenery in the sky and was reluctant to miss every picture. Beneath your feet are the colorful continents, the silver snake-like rivers, the ocean-like forests, the human-like valleys, the terraced fields, and a few long-tailed birds with beautiful blue and white feathers accompany you, and from their delicate and small pupils, you can feel the indomitable freedom and dreams.
As the sun sets, the buoyancy boat finally arrives at the location of the imperial capital, this city that has been built thousands of years ago seems to be as dazzling as the sun that radiates eternal brilliance, the buildings in the city are mainly white, and the castle in the center stands at the highest point, which can be seen from dozens of miles away from the city.
Xiao Fei manipulated the buoyancy boat to slowly land on the site where the buoyancy boat was parked in the city, and there were four or five thousand buoyancy boats parked criss-crossed, and only in the imperial capital could there be such a large-scale lineup.
Before the buoyancy boat fully landed, a staff member approached and asked Xiao Fei in the main pilot position, "Where did you come from?" ”
Tipping turned his head and replied while manipulating the gear lever: "Idler Town." ”
The staff quickly took notes, "How long do you want to stay?" ”
"Don't stay, I'll leave right away, but I need to change an energy soul stone, the largest one."
"Wait a minute, I'll go to the warehouse and get it for you." After the staff finished speaking, they turned around and walked towards the warehouse next to the venue.
Xiao Fei said to Dongfang Tianma: "I'll send you here, Brother Tianma, I have to hurry back, take care of yourself!" ”
Dongfang Tianma agreed, put on his backpack and took his hand, jumped from the seat of the buoyancy boat to the ground, and walked along the edge of the field where the rows of buoyancy boats were docked, and Xiao Fei behind him was waving his arms vigorously at him.
After such a long journey, at this moment, he finally came to the most prosperous imperial capital on the mainland, and Dongfang Tianma's mood was extremely excited. He didn't care about hunger or admiring the bustling street scene of the imperial capital, so he found all the way to Cainiao Avenue in the south of the city, and found the soul stone appliance workshop called Langhua, but he was disappointed.
The dusty glass door was affixed with two striking red seals with the words "Imperial Capital Guards Seal" on them. The stone bricks in front of the door have been uncleaned for a long time, weeds have grown in the gaps in the stone cracks, and the soul stone utensils stacked next to the wall have suffered varying degrees of damage, and almost none of them are intact. The windows were blocked with wooden strips, the glass was shattered, and it was pitch black inside, and it was impossible to see clearly.
Just as Dongfang Tianma was hovering in front of the Wave Workshop, a figure came up from behind and pressed his shoulder, and at the same time a voice said, "Hey friend! You must be from out of town, right? Fortunately, I met you, and if the Imperial Capital Guards saw you standing here, they would definitely arrest you as a traitor. ”
Dongfang Tianma turned to look, only to see a smiling young man casting a curious glance at him, his shiny black hair combed upwards, an orange vest with loose black cloth pants, a silver necklace in the shape of a dolphin around his neck, and he was standing there with his hands on his waist.
"May I ask who you are?"
Before Dongfang Tianma finished speaking, the young man had already dragged him to the alley on the side of the street, looked back and forth, and then said, "My name is Yin Ao, you can call me Xiao Ao." That Langhua Workshop was closed down half a year ago, are you here to find the people inside? ”
Dongfang Tianma nodded, "Do you know Luo Yannan?" He seems to be a master craftsman. ”
"Of course I know! And I'm not the only one who knows, almost everyone in the entire imperial capital knows about it. But now, if you dare to mention this name, you will immediately be arrested and imprisoned by the Imperial Capital Guards! ”
"Why?"
"Because Luo Yannan has been announced to be a traitorous rebel party, and now he is being wanted, all those who are connected with him are regarded as the same party, and the executives of the Imperial Capital Guards have been arrested recently, but everyone who is close to Luo Yannan is unlucky, either they were arrested and tortured and disabled, or they lost their lives."
"Thank you for telling me this." Dongfang Tianma nodded gratefully, but his eyes were full of disappointment, it seemed that things were not as simple as he thought.
Yin Ao suddenly asked, "What are you looking for Luo Yannan?" Could it be that he was branded with the soul stone? If that's the case, it's really not the right time for you to come, Luo Yannan's craftsmanship is indeed the first-class level of this imperial capital. ”
Dongfang Tianma shook his head and said, "No! I'm here to deliver the letter. ”
A hint of vigilance flashed in Yin Ao's pupils, but it was only for a moment, and he was not noticed by Dongfang Tianma, and he said with a smile: "I don't know what your name is!" ”
"Dongfang Pegasus, you can just call me Pegasus."
"Pegasus, that's a good name, you're from far away, aren't you?"
"Well, from the village of Fengqi in the north of the continent."
"That's a long way off! How could you send a letter to Luo Yannan? Do you know him personally? ”
"No, it's trusted."
"I see, if you promise someone else's things, you have to do it, you are really a trustworthy man."
The two were chatting, only to hear a rapid sound of horses' hooves from the direction of the south city gate, a group of Imperial Capital Guards cavalry roared past, among them was a man who was clustered in the middle of the horse team, wearing a bright silver snowflake pattern armor, wearing an eagle head helmet with white feathers on the top, and a silver sword hanging from his waist, his majestic appearance made people feel awe.
Although it took less than a minute for the horse team to finish, this knight in silver armor still left a deep impression on Dongfang Tianma, and he turned his head and asked Yin Ao, "Who is that knight in silver armor?" ”
Yin Ao scratched the tip of his nose with his fingers, "That's a big man, the current king of the imperial city, Mei Haishi, has three major ministers and three generals under his command, and the one just now is one of them, Lord Zhang Qixing, who is known as the Eagle Head General." He was supposed to be guarding the frontier, how could he suddenly return to the imperial city? It's weird. ”
"Do you know where there are hotels around here?"
"The prices of the hotels in the imperial capital are scary, if you don't dislike it, how about you come to my house? There is also a free dinner for you! ”
Yin Ao lives two streets away from the Langhua Workshop, and his home is a rather old two-story building, with large porcelain vases taller than people on the left and right sides of the door, with blue landscape patterns on them. A simple plastic plate hangs above the main entrance, on which is printed the rainbow-colored words of the Yin Porcelain House.
"Your family owns a china shop?" Dongfang Tianma asked, standing in the doorway, staring at the two large porcelain vases.
Yin Ao opened the door with the key and replied: "It used to be like this when my grandfather was alive, but now there are only some old goods left, and they are no longer in production." ”
Entering Yin Ao's home, you can see all kinds of porcelain, octagonal ceramic wine jugs, ceramic plates with peacock open screens, ceramic vases for flower arrangement, and ceramic bowls in the shape of lotus leaves. The more expensive ones include the King's Cup with the dragon head handle, the Maxima with red cloud lacquer, the statue of Guanyin sitting with his eyes closed, and the black and shiny round-eyed lion's head incense burner.
Dongfang Tianma only felt that he was dazzled, it was the first time he had seen so many strangely shaped ceramic artworks, and he couldn't say what he liked in his heart, and when he saw that he was interested, he stopped and took a closer look, completely forgetting that there was a Yin Ao in front of him who led the way.
"I didn't expect you to be so interested in porcelain, forget it, you look at it for a while, I'll bring someone to meet you."
Dongfang Tianma didn't listen to Yin Ao's words at all, he was holding a teapot with a human face in his hand, and he was looking at it carefully. The handle of this teapot is designed to be long and curly hair, the lid of the teapot is a woman's eyes and nose, the spout of the teapot is a woman's cherry mouth, and the round body of the pot is a woman's fleshy cheeks, which not only adds a bit of joy, but also is unconventional, which can be described as full of creativity.
There was a sound of footsteps on the stairs leading to the second floor, Yin Ao walked down with an old man, and the two came to stand behind Dongfang Tianma, and the old man coughed and said, "What about the letter you want to send?" Take it out and show me! ”
Dongfang Tianma's heart trembled when he heard this, and the teapot in his hand almost fell to pieces, he slowly turned around and met the old man's bright gaze.
