Chapter 329: Kiyose City, the national capital
"Oh, I see!" Shen Jun's gaze also looked ahead. His neck seemed to be a little crooked, and the expression on his face also revealed a bit of a 'mocking' smile.
Qian Hao saw this, and he bared his teeth in a sly manner, "Shen Jun, are you happy now?"
Shen Jun immediately sighed with relief, "Ahhh
"Hey, not yet!" Qian Hao's eyes were almost slanted to the corners of his eyes.
"Of course not!" Shen Jun spread his hands indifferently.
Of course, at this moment, Shen Jun was thinking about a question: if he could be shown as a difficult point when accepting Shen Mengting's recruitment at that time, it seems that he would not be ridiculed for anything!
And if she behaved too simply on the way to being recruited, then it is estimated that Shen Mengting would not care too much about herself! Thinking of this, Shen Jun even showed a look of remorse.
"Hey, Shen Jun, what are you thinking about now?"
Just as he was wondering, Shen Mengting's words suddenly came again. Shen Jun reluctantly turned his gaze back to the woman, and what he saw was the other party's slanted eyes and cold eyes.
"Ahem...... cough ......" Shen Jun coughed quickly and helplessly. Asking to hide his embarrassment, he asked again as quickly as possible, "Then what! He figured it out again, so he followed alone?"
The 'he' in Shen Jun's mouth naturally refers to the assassin Chen Tianhao.
Shen Mengting didn't even think about it a little, she took a deep breath and released the answer, "The truth is just as you think." He must have figured out in the next few years whether it would be better to join the team. Isn't that so?"
Gradually, Shen Mengting turned her head completely, and her eyes were locked on Chen Tianhao, who was at the end. The man hadn't spoken for a long time, as if he had been out of the group.
The eyes of others also turned to Chen Tianhao with Shen Mengting's bias.
Bizarrely, Chen Tianhao did not respond at the moment, but he was still walking with his head down.
"Oh, so that's it!" Shen Jun muttered casually.
Seeing these scenes, Qian Hao had an idea of his own in his heart. He considered that if he had time in the future, he would definitely tell Shen Jun in detail about all the experiences with the 'Assassin Chen Tianhao'.
"Okay!Shen Jun! I've told you all about Chen Tianhao, do you have any questions?"
In the face of Shen Mengting's sudden inquiry, Shen Jun's movement of stepping forward became a little awkward, "Ahhh
"Is it really gone?" Shen Mengting continued to look at Shen Jun, her gaze was a little frightening, "Judging from your performance just now, you seem to have anything else in mind, right?"
The atmosphere seemed to be a little strange, and even Qian Hao couldn't help but twist his neck ninety degrees and pouted to look at Shen Jun.
"Oh! no!" Shen Jun responded, but his face was smiling discordantly.
"Shen Jun, if you have anything to say, you should tell me as much as you like!"
"No! no!" Shen Jun simply threw up his arms quickly this time.
Continuing to turn her head to look at Shen Jun, Shen Mengting still had many words to release in her heart. But at the moment when her mouth moved, Jiang Jingwen next to her suddenly 'ah'.
"Ahh
For this reason, almost everyone turned their eyes to the screaming girl again.
There was no other source of light in the woods except the moonlight on the top. The group was also not equipped with any torches or other lighting, which made it difficult to identify someone when looking at them.
Everyone couldn't see Jiang Jingwen's face clearly, let alone what she was yelling at just now!
"Jingwen, what's wrong?"
As if in response to Shen Mengting's inquiry, Jiang Jingwen slowly raised her arm forward, "Sister Mengting!
The direction that Jiang Jingwen is pointing to is not so much a point as a whole surface. Shen Mengting followed her fingers, and just looked ahead. Soon after, she let out an exclamation of 'wow'.
"It's finally here!
In an instant, there was an explosion in the crowd. Even Chen Tianhao, who had always been out of step with the team, ran forward quickly.
"Hah!
"It's finally here!"
"Is this Kiyose Castle?"
The pace quickened considerably, and the three men looked ahead in shock. Covered by tall trees and dimly lit, it was almost impossible for them to see what lay ahead.
However, the tall and white city walls still seem to be visible from the branches and leaves.
"This ...... This is Seise Castle!" Shen Jun kept poking his head up, and bounced up and down in cooperation.
They were in the woods at the moment, and had not yet walked on the main road, so that they could only see some vague images of the city walls. But this problem can be solved quickly, Shen Mengting found a big road, so she urged the others to follow along.
"Let's take the main road! In this situation, there is no need to run around the forest like a run for your life!"
Shen Mengting's suggestion was naturally accepted by everyone, after all, they had defeated the enemy who had been threatening their survival not long ago. So, they don't need to worry about their own safety.
In the process of going to the mainland, Shen Mengting did not forget to add a sentence that connects the previous and the next.
"Regarding Chen Tianhao, I must have made it very clear just now. Shen Jun, you won't have any more questions, will you?"
Being asked by Shen Mengting so coldly, Shen Jun hurriedly nodded quickly, "Oh! no! no! I'm just curious about having new companions in the team!"
"Well, since it's gone, I don't have to say anything more. Now, let's hurry up and leave for Qingse City!" Shen Mengting seemed to be summing up, but it could be seen that she also hoped to enter the city as soon as possible.
After passing through the woodland about 100 meters, they reached a large road. Shen Mengting has an excellent memory of this, because she has been shuttling from this road in and out of the city since she was a child.
"This is the way!" she muttered to herself.
The biggest difference between the road and the woods is that there is no shelter from the tall trees, and the moonlight on the top can be paved on the concrete road.
In other words, this road is also quite wide, and Qian Hao may be more than ten or twenty meters wide. But thinking about it, this is really normal, such a large main city of the country, there must be a few wide lands to show through.
Maybe there will be tens of thousands of residents here every day, shuttling around this place! Qian Hao thought.
'Ah, what a big city!' Qian Hao's arms were about to open unconsciously, which made him feel like a bird that wanted to soar in the sky. Since he was a child, he has dreamed of going to the next big city that is much bigger and more lively than the town where he was born, "The first population gathering place of the Saran Kingdom, the country of Seise City!"
Compared with Qian Hao's exaggerated appearance, the other two men are not left behind. Shen Jun was even about to open his mouth wider, leaving a malaise along with his saliva. And Chen Tianhao also looked up to the sky and sighed, he seemed to be making a prelude to his imminent entry into a huge city.
The men were showing exaggerated amazement, except for Zhao Yu, who was still lying on horseback and was dying, almost all of them were eager to speed up and get to the city quickly, so that they could quickly experience the prosperity of the big city.
But Shen Mengting and Jiang Jingwen, the two women, are much calmer. Because they grew up in Seise, they don't have any special feelings for this city at all.
"That's right! This is our Saran's national capital, Seise-Castle!" Shen Mengting straightened her chest slightly. But soon, she quickly tilted her mouth to look at the men who were exaggerating, "But are you so exaggerated?"
"Alas!" Qian Hao rubbed his hands vigorously, "these days, I have dreamed of reaching this city! No! Now this dream has finally come true!"
"Ha, Qian Hao, why do you want to enter the city so vigorously? Do you want to experience the wind and clouds of the big city [River Crab] place?" Shen Jun smiled and mocked.
Qian Hao was instantly overwhelmed by this remark, "Eh...... Forehead...... Uh!" he was struggling to breathe, and he made a random gesture of pointing to the side, "You...... You...... What are you talking nonsense?"
"How can I talk nonsense! You have said before, what do you say, from the first moment you enter Qingse City, you must visit the top brand Fengyue [River Crab] place! You must also have a good talk with the young lady there!" Shen Jun smiled a little evilly, and he was already more than bared teeth.
Qian Hao held his breath in an instant, but he has always been known for his thick skin, so naturally he could not blush a little. After his nose spewed out a few breaths one after another, he just 'cut' it, and didn't continue to quarrel with Shen Junlai.
"Okay, a few men! With this strength, it is better to hurry down the road so that we can get to the city quickly!" Shen Mengting's glances were immediately released.
"I know this! I don't say anything! It's that some people have been looking for trouble!" Qian Hao flipped up his palm and shook it around himself.
In fact, Shen Jun also felt a little strange, in the past, if he made a joke casually, Qian Hao would definitely echo it with a smile. But this time, Qian Hao quickly put away his words.
Since this person doesn't want to talk much, then Shen Jun doesn't have to pick out some jokes like 'hot face and cold ass'
The speed of the crowd's journey quickened, so that they could get to Kiyose Castle as soon as possible. The current sky has completely darkened, and Shen Mengting estimates that it may be time to enter the night.
As they got closer to the city, the walls in the distance grew taller. That large row of tall stone walls really has a posture that can resist everything.
As they continued to get closer to the city gates, they met some residents who had also entered the city at this time. Most of these people went out of the city during the day to do errands and returned at night.
This can't help but aggravate Qian Hao's sigh, because if it is an ordinary town, unless there are special circumstances, there are few people in and out of this time period.
The appearance of Qingse City is really breathtaking, and without seeing any buildings inside, Qian Hao and the others have been completely shocked by the outer city walls.
Eventually, they walked briskly and arrived at the gates of Kiyose Castle. Listening to Shen Mengting, this is not the main entrance, it belongs to the side door. But the vigilance of the soldiers in front of them still shocked Qian Hao and them.
The gates were set in the middle of the city walls and were five or six meters high. It didn't seem to be a door for humans to walk on, as if several people could walk through it together.
Two rows of soldiers stood on either side of the tunnel inside the door, and there were slowly patrolling outside. These soldiers have a surprisingly serious sense of seriousness in their faces, and they don't seem to let passers-by so easily.
But what was unexpected was that just as Qian Hao and his group were about to walk to the door, the soldiers who were patrolling suddenly posted over.
These soldiers seemed to know Shen Mengting, and they all showed surprised faces. One of them took the lead, and even made a fist salute with compliments.
"Ah...... This...... General Shen!"
Qian Hao knew that this title of general must have been given to Shen Mengting.
Sure enough, it was also Shen Mengting who communicated with the group of patrol soldiers on behalf of everyone. But without saying a word, she hoped that the soldiers would let them into the city.
After observing a few people behind Shen Mengting a little, the soldier moved out of the way.
So, Shen Mengting and her party swaggered towards the city. may have meant to be in a hurry, and in the end, Shen Mengting didn't mean to turn around and greet the group of soldiers.
"Wow! I can't see that you have a lot of connections! I even know the guards guarding the city gates!" Shen Jun looked at the joke casually from behind.
It doesn't matter what time of day it is, but it's a little difficult to get into the city when it's about to get into the middle of the night. A few of them were ordered by the guards to stop, and they were not allowed to enter the city until they had searched their bodies.
"That's normal! Didn't I tell you? She grew up in Kiyose Castle since she was a child, and she always walked through this side gate. So naturally it can be easily released!" Qian Hao said with a smile next to him.
But in response to Qian Hao's remarks, Shen Mengting turned around and glared at him suddenly.
Qian Hao was a little stunned for a while, he didn't know what he said wrongly, and he actually made that woman angry again!
"Sister Mengting, we are now in the city, so where are we going to stay next?" Jiang Jingwen asked solemnly, shaking her head.
"It's a lodging hotel! I don't think there's any need to go to a luxurious place, as long as you can stay casually! After all, ah...... Alas......" Shen Jun quickly wiped his face, and it could be seen that he was extremely tired, and the injuries on his body also tended to worsen.
But what she didn't expect was that this reply made the corners of Shen Mengting's mouth twitch, "What? Do you still need to complain about the hotel?" She looked her eyes forward, "Isn't this my home! Since we are all partners in life and death, how can we let you live outside!"
Hearing Shen Mengting's story, everyone also released a look of surprise.
"Oh, live in your house!" Jiang Jingwen nodded quickly.
"That's right, just live in my house!" Shen Mengting looked at everyone, "Don't worry! My house is enough to accommodate you guys." Besides, after my parents passed away, my house has been deserted, and I hope that there will be guests who can stay permanently!"
Since Shen Mengting has said so, Qian Hao and they are naturally impossible to shirk.
However, Qian Hao was the happiest in his heart, and being able to know the residence of Shen Mengting's family was his second wish after entering Qingse City. I thought that this woman would put on a show and send them to live in a hotel outside, but I didn't expect that she would be so hospitable, and invite them directly into her house.
And thinking that he could live under the same roof with Shen Mengting after that, Qian Hao couldn't be happier in his heart.
"So where is your home?" Chen Tianhao looked at the buildings on the side of the surrounding road and asked quickly.
"It's not far from here!" Shen Mengting pursed her lips and smiled. It is said that the main reason why she has always chosen to enter and exit the city from the side gate just now is because it is very close to her home.
So, the crowd hurried up again, hoping to reach their destination as soon as possible.
After walking for about half an hour, they stopped in front of a huge dwelling.
At first, when Shen Jun looked at this house, he quickly rubbed his eyes, "Huh, this is your home?"
Following Shen Jun's question, everyone saw that there was indeed a plaque at the gate with the word 'Shen Zhuan'.
"That's right! this is Sister Mengting's home!" replied Jiang Jingwen, and her eyes seemed to show nostalgia. This girl probably hasn't set foot in Shen Mengting's house for a long time, but she used to come here to play when she was a child.
"Wow! I can't see it! Your house is really ...... Great!"
"Isn't that a matter of course?" Qian Hao quipped again, "You probably forgot who her father was, right?"
When Qian Hao said this, Shen Jun remembered in hindsight that Shen Haiteng, the first swordsman of the Salan Kingdom, originally lived here.
"Okay, don't say anything more, let's go in quickly!" Shen Mengting urged. She herself quickly came to the door and knocked on it vigorously.
When Shen Mengting knocked on the door, Qian Hao didn't forget to take a few steps back and continued to carefully look at the whole picture of this huge residence.
However, because of the walls, it was impossible for him to see any of the houses inside. But there is one thing that Qian Hao still cares about very much, that is, this residence is really very large, and it is impossible to explore the whole picture just by looking at it up close.
'The marshal's family is really rich!' Qian Hao unconsciously sounded such a sentence.
After Shen Mengting knocked on the door a few times one after another, there was finally a response from inside the door.
