Chapter 63: Mountain and Sea City
"What do you want to do in the future?" Tian Luo was helping Chen Su organize things. Mostly clothes and daily necessities, bought by the wizard for the two children, although very basic, but better than nothing.
"I want to be a big official." Su'er's answer made Tian Luo look sideways, although this kid is small, his ambitions are not small.
"Why? What's so good about being an official? Tian Luo spread a coat of Chen Liu on the low table, and then learned the movements of the two sleeves to arrange the two sleeves, and then folded them a few times, and it turned out to be a good look.
Chen Xu shook his head and said, "Then no one can bully me and my brother anymore." ”
is a very simple sentence, but it makes Tian Luo feel a little uncomfortable. "Well, you can." Tian Luo smiled and encouraged him, although he didn't know why the kid felt that being an official could protect him and his brother.
Chen Liu finally woke up at noon, the heavy and cold feeling on his body disappeared, and he felt more relaxed than ever.
Ning Weiyong knew that he woke up and went to him in person, and the two discussed where Chen Liu and Chen Su went, and finally Ning Weiyong was persuaded by Chen Liu and agreed to let the two children continue to follow them.
The wizard and Tian Luo were surprised. Others don't know, but they know very well that they are not going to play this way. But they didn't have much room to say about what Ning Weiyong decided, especially the wizard, as long as he could take Tian Luo to the barbarian realm smoothly, he would be satisfied.
The happiest thing is the firefly. He has been with his two children for a long time, so he naturally has feelings. And with Chen Liu's life experience, he doesn't think that they can really grow up well if they are fostered in ordinary people's homes.
The break is always short, and the group sets out on the journey again. This time the road was very smooth, and they also stopped in a few small towns on the way, there were small troubles, but there were no major accidents, and soon they came to the border city of Qi country, Shanhai.
Shanhai is a military city, and beyond the border of Shanhai, it is a barbarian who has been at war with Qi for many years. Because it is located in a fortress, the garrison of mountains and seas is extremely tight. All people entering and leaving are screened.
Tian Luo saw the high city wall of the mountains and seas from a distance, washed by the wind and rain for many years, the city wall was mottled and scattered, and a heavy breath came to the face.
"What about my eyes?"
"What about my hair?"
Tian Luo and Liu Hotaru asked in unison.
"We don't enter through the main entrance." Ning Weiyong sat on the wheel and glanced at the city gate lightly.
"Don't worry, I'm sure he can get us all in with his eyes closed." The wizard's words are not exaggerated at all, General Ning's general's mansion is in this mountain and sea city, and it is said that this general's mansion is five times larger than the imperial mansion in the capital!
Under Ning Weiyong's control, the carriage bypassed the main gate and headed west. After a while, a small iron gate opened in a hidden recess corner of the city wall.
The iron gate is just enough to accommodate one person, like Ning Weiyong and wizards who are tall, they have to bend down to enter the door, such a design can effectively prevent the enemy from invading, after all, barbarians usually grow tall and big, and it is almost impossible to enter this door in a swarm. Of course, their carriage couldn't get in, Ning Weiyong directly cut off the horse's reins, let the horse go free, the old horse knew the way, and the horse could go home by itself.
The wizard took a closer look at the iron door with some interest. In general, except for the main gate in four directions, there will be no such hidden small gate. And looking at the degree of newness of this door, if he guessed correctly, it should be designed by Ning Weiyong, but he doesn't know what it does.
The iron gate entered, and it was a small and spacious courtyard, with several brick houses on both sides of the courtyard, all the doors were tightly closed, and the doors were hung with large locks, apparently uninhabited. There were no flowers or plants in the yard, and there was a lot of sand and soil, as if there was some kind of work to be done.
"Let's go out again in the evening." Ning Weiyong let everyone rest in the courtyard, the surroundings were very quiet, no one took the initiative to speak, as if entering this mountain and sea city, the air was full of caution.
The sky gradually darkened, and the courtyard was covered with a gray-black shadow. Ning Weiyong looked at the sky, and finally asked everyone to put away their things, they were about to really enter Shanhai City.
"Squeak." The courtyard door was opened by Ning Weiyong, and a hoarse 'sigh' was released, and then the group finally saw the true face of Shanhai City.
Tian Luo was taken aback. Along the way, she has seen many towns with different characteristics, but none of them shocked her like Shanhai City. I saw that there was a very wide road outside the courtyard gate. There was a deep ditch in the middle of the road, and Tian Luo stepped forward to take a look, and the ditch was pitch black. The road was divided into two sides by this ravine, and the side where they were was was so bare that they could even see their heads at a glance; On the other side of the ravine, the shadows of the trees are heavy, tall and straight, and the branches at the top are dancing in the night.
On both sides of the road are densely packed houses, which are very neat. But what is even more striking is that these houses do not have normal windows, only a small wooden basin-sized air window opens under the eaves, and the air window is even equipped with carved stone barriers, which are ready for battle.
There were no pedestrians on the street at this point. There was the sound of martial law in the distance, which made Tian Luo very novel, but there was a sense of tension in his heart. Because in other towns, this is the busiest time on the streets, and the hawkers and pedestrians always give her a fresh vitality. At this time, the mountains and seas are only heavy towards the field.
Along the way, they followed Ning Weiyong left and right, and no one made a sound, because even if Ning Weiyong didn't say anything, they had already smelled the tense atmosphere in the city. After walking for almost a stick of incense, Ning Weiyong stopped outside a small courtyard, and they finally arrived at the place where they settled in the mountains and seas.
The next day, when it was still dawn, Tian Luo woke up. This courtyard is not big, and the structure of the 'concave' character is so she can hear Ning Weiyong's movements outside in the morning.
But she didn't move, although she didn't feel sleepy, but she still wanted to lie in the warm bed. The climate of Shanhai City is dry and cold, and although it has just entered autumn, it is already cold here. Tian Luo is most afraid of heat, but also very afraid of cold, their Tianluo clan is lazy in winter, although not to the point of hibernation, but the ability to move is always lazy and slow.
She lay down and ran the demonic power again. The wizard helped her get rid of the bugs on her body when she was on the way, so she could already feel the growing and abundant demonic power in her veins, and she couldn't help but be a little happy. Just as she was thinking about the days when she was full of demonic power and had traveled successfully, a loud gong suddenly sounded outside the courtyard.
Now everyone in the courtyard woke up. Tian Luo was so noisy that he couldn't lie down, so he simply got up and prepared to go out with everyone to see what was going on.
