Chapter 274: Visit
Yongri City, covering an area of sixty miles, is not an exaggeration to say that it is a giant city.
The streets of the city are vertical and horizontal, and all kinds of houses and buildings are lined up one after another, including shops, teahouses, and residential houses, and so on, crowding the whole city to the brim.
That's pretty rare.
You must know that some so-called Xiongcheng in other states, such as Jinyue City in 100,000 Dachuan, such as Rinzai City in Qiyuan Prefecture and later Yubing City, etc., although the area is also very large, but a large part of them are vacant or uninhabitable, which can be seen from the mountain peaks and dense forests in the city alone.
But Yongri City has really made use of the land within a radius of sixty miles, and there is almost no idle place.
It can be seen from this that there are so many people in this Eternal Day City, and how prosperous and lively it will be!
The outer city of Yongri City, which is the largest place in the whole city, occupies as much as seventy percent of the land, and belongs to the place where ordinary people are most active.
It is different from the inner city in the center of the city, and the imperial city at the very core.
The dragons and snakes here are mixed, and the forces of all parties are intertwined, even at the feet of the Son of Heaven, there are many dark existences.
Outside the city, in the East 3rd District, in a quiet and remote alley.
From the outside, at the end of this alley, it is just an ordinary grocery store, and there is nothing peculiar about it.
But once you enter the grocery store, you can find that there is a hole inside.
The antique decoration and exquisite and elegant furnishings give people a sense of hidden mystery.
The sandalwood fragrance is pervasive, turning into wisps of green smoke and slowly drifting away, with a refreshing taste, which makes people feel calm.
In the corner of the store, there are a few pieces of goods, but they are all worth a lot of money, quietly displayed in the glass container.
Of course, if that's all there is to it, it's nothing in the incomparably prosperous Eternal Sun City.
However, beyond this surface and led by the shopkeeper into the inner hall, you can truly understand the essence of the existence of this grocery store.
This is a hidden place to buy and sell intelligence information!
From the power of the court to the survival status of the Li people, as long as you pay a sufficient price, you can find out any news here!
Even the case of the high-ranking monks can be discussed.
The inner hall, which goes down the dark passageway, is a bright and chic space, slightly larger than the shops on the upper floor.
In a separate room, there were two people sitting upright, one of whom was Chen Ting.
"That's the news you want, if you need to consult in the future, we in the Dark Spirit Pavilion are always welcome."
While speaking, a **** in a red dress handed a piece of Lingjian to Chen Ting and looked at each other with a smile.
After the transaction was completed, Chen Ting didn't plan to stay longer, so he got up directly and said, "Farewell." ”
"Someone, send off!"
As the voice of **** gradually drifted away, Chen Ting had already returned to the grocery store along the dark passage.
He came alone this time, so he naturally came to buy information, after all, he was new to the city, and he didn't know much about the situation in Yongri City, so he urgently needed to know the distribution of the forces of all parties in order to facilitate future actions.
Not only that, but the upcoming auction about the Chu clan was also the main reason why he came here.
Get out of the shop and out of the quiet alley.
Chen Ting walked on the long and noisy street, his thoughts constantly turning.
It has been less than a month since the auction opened, and such a hasty time is still a lot of trouble for him.
First of all, how to get the invitation and in what capacity to participate is very nerve-wracking.
Not to mention that spending a lot of money to auction off the heart of the Treasure Xuan Blood Tree at the auction will inevitably attract a lot of people's attention, if he doesn't expose his cultivation, he will inevitably be targeted by some greedy monks, which will cause a lot of trouble.
Perhaps, remote control behind the back is also a good way.
Thinking like this in his heart, Chen Ting suddenly stopped and went straight in the direction of the inner city.
Inner City.
Although it is only separated by a low wall, it is very different from the outer city, and the silence is the first impression.
After all, most of the princes and nobles living here, as well as some powerful families, are high-end commercial areas, and they are not accessible to ordinary people.
Therefore, there are relatively fewer people coming and going here than in other cities.
In addition, there is another key reason, that is, because the jurisdiction of this place is very strong, not only are there often sergeants patrolling, but it is also rumored that there are many secret agents secretly monitoring in case something goes wrong.
In this way, there are naturally fewer people who dare to come to the inner city, at least most of the ordinary people look at the inner city with some daunting, obviously they have learned from the past.
And when Chen Ting enters the inner city, he will inevitably be noticed by those who have a heart.
However, firstly, he was unfamiliar and unrecognized, and secondly, he did not act excessively, so he only attracted attention.
But when he came to a magnificent mansion in the inner city, he was immediately scrutinized by many eyes.
Lianqing Palace!
On the brown and yellow quaint gate, there is a plaque with light black gilt edge, which is engraved with four strong and clumsy characters of "Lianqing Palace", giving people a solemn and majestic feeling.
Here, it is one of the princes of the Dongsheng Dynasty, the residence of King Lianqing!
The four guards in armor and swords in front of the door stood still like old pines, with aggressive majesty in their eyes, obviously not good at stubble.
Seeing that a stranger appeared on the street of the palace, a guard immediately shouted: "This is the important place of the palace, idle people, etc., leave quickly!" ”
Hearing this, Chen Ting's face did not show the slightest wave, but he slowly stepped forward and said calmly: "Chen Ting, a small citizen in the mountains and wilderness, should come to visit the prince Yang Liheng at the request, and please pass it on." ”
"Bold, how can you call the name of the prince!"
Seeing that Chen Ting was dressed ordinarily, but with an awe-inspiring demeanor, the four guards were all a little displeased, and someone immediately shouted.
But then, one of the four who was a little older stepped forward, looked at Chen Ting with burning eyes, and said, "You said that you agreed, but what evidence do you have?" ”
"There is no evidence, it's just a promise back then, but as long as a few people are willing to go in and pass it on, they will find out whether it is true or false later."
Chen Ting replied lightly.
It has been a few years since Yonghe Town parted, and Xiao Yang left a letter at that time, saying that if he had difficulties, he could go to Dongshengzhou to find him.
Now that he came to Wangcheng, Chen Ting naturally remembered the little guy in Yonghe Town for the first time.
A few years have passed, and the little one should also be an adult.
Thinking of this, Chen Ting turned over and took out an iron plate with rusty stains and threw it over: "This thing can barely be regarded as a token, so you can take it." ”
As soon as he took the iron card, the guard carefully examined it.
Although these four people are only palace guards, they all have the perfect cultivation of the spiritual spring, and under the full perception of it, they can basically find any dangerous things.
A moment later.
It is true that he did not perceive the dangerous aura on the iron plate, and several guards exchanged a few words, and then one of the guards looked at Chen Ting solemnly and said, "You wait here for the time being." ”
With that, the guard pushed open the gate and entered the palace directly.
Seeing this, Chen Ting didn't feel anything, just waited patiently.
……
Lianqing Palace, located in the inner city.
Although it is only a mansion, it occupies a lot of land.
Among them, there are many pavilions, houses and halls, and there is even a huge garden, rockery, small lake and pavilion water pavilion are all available, which shows the extraordinaryness of this palace.
In the depths of the palace, in an elegant and quiet study.
A richly dressed young man, almost seventeen or eighteen years old, was holding a scroll in his hand, browsing intently.
The scroll is simple, the paper is a little yellow, and the title of the book is faintly visible, "The Legend of the Five Spirits Taoist Journey to the North", which seems to be a travelogue that records the experience of the cultivators.
Obviously, this handsome young man is not only of high status, but also very likely to be a cultivator!
The boy was watching the rise, but at this moment, there was a knock on the door outside the study.
With a little displeasure on his face, the young man raised his head and looked at the door: "Little Zhenzi, didn't my son tell you, don't bother me if it's okay, what's the matter, you have itchy skin?" ”
"Shizi, this time there is really something, just now the guard at the gate of the house announced, saying that the old man of the prince came to see him, and he specially called me to pass it on."
A somewhat muffled young voice came from outside the door.
"Oh? The deceased of this son, this is interesting, but what token does it bring? ”
Yang Liheng immediately said strangely when he heard this.
With that, Yang Liheng put down the scroll and walked out of the study.
There was a handsome young man who was also nearly eighteen years old standing outside the study, and when he saw Yang Liheng open the door, his face was a little strange and said: "There is indeed a token, but it is just a ......."
Spreading out his palm, revealing a rusty iron plate, the young man didn't know what to say for a while.
However, when Yang Liheng saw the iron card at a glance, his eyes were straight, as if he had been immobilized, so he looked at the iron card in a daze, and there was no reaction at half a ring.
