Chapter 83
Yancheng, a bustling city on the border of the Flaming Empire, is the only way to Kyoto of the Flaming Empire.
As the checkpoint of the Huoyan Empire, the city wall piled up with huge stones is as high as 20 meters, majestic and magnificent, and there are countless people who come and go from the city gate every day to do business and visit, but recently because the venue of the Four Kingdoms Competition of the Wind Dragon Empire, the Huoyan Empire, the Xuanjing Empire, and the Tianxuan Empire is being held in the Huoyan Empire, so among the people who come from all directions, there are more people who are contestants or onlookers from the three countries.
A team of nine people rode into the city, which was originally inconspicuous among the many people who came and went to Yancheng, but among the nine people, in addition to the old man who was the leader, the remaining eight were all handsome men and women, and their appearance was eye-catching.
"It is said that the prosperity of Yancheng is not inferior to that of Kyoto of the Huoyan Empire, and it doesn't seem to be very good~" Lu Shu followed Tang Feng and the team of contestants of the Wind Dragon Empire for a few days, and finally reached the situation of the Huoyan Empire.
Jin Xuanbao glanced at Lu Xuan, chewed and ate the dried meat all the way in his mouth and explained, "The Huoyan Empire is hot and dry all year round, and the largest volcanoes on the Flame Continent are all in the territory of Huoyan, even if it is prosperous here, how can it compare to several other countries, Xuanjing's wealth, Fenglong's liveliness, Tianxuan's majesty, compared to the other three countries, the Huoyan Empire is simply poor, barren, and wasted. It is already rare for so many people to gather in this Yan City. ”
To sum up, Tang Feng nodded in agreement! "It's still good for us, the climate is good, there are many people, and it's lively everywhere." Tang Feng didn't have a comprehensive summary, it was not easy to say these points.
Song Chengyu glanced at Tang Feng on the side, and he didn't dare to agree with his self-selling and boastful attitude, he was different from Tang Feng, he grew up among civilians, and he didn't have much sense of honor and disgrace and loyalty to the country.
But there is another person who is completely opposite to his thoughts, Princess Bingxin, the second princess of the Wind Dragon Empire.
It was rare for Princess Bingxin to hear Tang Feng say something that suited his heart, even if he was the brother of the person she hated the most, he couldn't dislike Tang Feng at this time, she raised her head slightly, and said proudly, "Of course, the Fire Flame Empire is indeed not qualified to be compared to our Wind Dragon Empire." Even the Xuanjing Empire and the Tianxuan Empire have many places that are not comparable to our Wind Dragon! ”
Bingxin's arrogance is still the same, but her words are not as good as before, and there is immediately a wave of approval and applause around her, but no one pays attention to it at this time, but it is a little cold.
She was 'defeated' under Tang Yan as early as when Fenglong was selected, and she did not have the qualifications to come to the Huoyan Empire, but she was a princess and the favorite daughter of Emperor Long Aoyu, even if she was not qualified to participate, when she insisted on coming to watch the game, Long Aoyu still agreed.
Such a special case will naturally not be recognized by the real 'geniuses', not to mention that Long Yufeng, Tang Feng and others are either cold to everyone, or they have a tendon in their brains and don't know how to cater to them, so no one will revolve around her anymore, such a gap between before and after Princess Bingxin is not very used to it for a while, and her expression is also a little embarrassed.
This time, the people who went from the Wind Dragon to the Huoyan Empire were removed from Tang Yan, who was delayed halfway, and the remaining Long Yufeng, Song Chengyu, Tang Feng, Xiong and the six people from the Xuanjing Empire, Jin Xuanbao and Ling Tu, as well as Princess Bingxin, and the uninvited Lu Chop. The last one was a Martial Emperor-level master who led seven people here!
The short-bearded elderly man in a gray-white robe had his eyes half-closed, looking unfathomable. This person is a person in the royal family of the Wind Dragon, with such a high status and strong strength, even the fourth prince of the Wind Dragon, Long Yufeng, has to be honored as the second elder when he sees it.
No one knows where these two elders come from, and no one knows his details.
Under the second elder was a snow-colored white horse, surrounded by eight people in the middle, and no matter where he was, his identity was immediately highlighted. This man seems to pay special attention to his appearance, and this formation is also arranged by him from the beginning.
The second elder turned his head and glanced at Long Bingxin, who was half a step behind him, and warned in a cold tone, "When you reach the Fire Flame Empire, which is different from the realm of the Wind Dragon, be careful when you speak." ”
Even if the other party is the princess of the wind dragon, it is nothing in the eyes of this elder.
Princess Bingxin's face turned pale when she was reprimanded by the second elder, and she seemed to have an inexplicable fear of this person. This feeling was not even felt in her father.
Bing Xin's stiff body immediately nodded and replied in a low voice, "I know." "Such a self-respecting and noble person really rarely has ever bowed his head to others.
Long Yufeng glanced at Princess Bingxin lightly, and his gaze finally fell on the second elder, frowning without leaving a trace. The others didn't dare to speak, and after a few days of getting along, everyone could see the character of the second elder.
He is cold, has a bad temperament, flaws must be reported, his words are hurtful, and he is very stubborn, along the way his orders are what the whole team must follow, relying on his strength No one dares to rebel, saying that the wind is the rain, so that many people have opinions about him.
Two days ago, Tang Feng drank a sip of water before him when he was resting, this one was worried about the honest and honest Tang Feng, and made an excuse to cut off his food, if Tang Feng didn't have Lu Qi, a good brother, and the two Xiong who had been with Tang Yan for a long time, he would probably be hungry for two days.
Even Lu Shu, who distributed his food to Tang Feng, was also treated with a lot of eyes, he, an outsider who was not a contestant, followed, even if he was the young owner of the Iron Sword Villa, he was also met with a lot of cynicism and contempt from this second elder.
Now the second elder is obviously in a bad mood, whoever dares to provoke him is the one who makes himself unhappy.
Whenever the second elder interjected, the atmosphere must be cold, and even Jin Xuanbao, who had always had a lively atmosphere, kept his mouth shut, unwilling to provoke the other party's attention.
The atmosphere was cold.
Suddenly, a voice came from far and near towards the group, "Hello everyone, I see that your sons, young masters, and young ladies are extraordinary, but you came from afar to participate in the Four Kingdoms Competition?" "The one who spoke was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, dressed in ordinary clothes, if he couldn't tell the origin of Tang Feng and the others, I'm afraid no one would pay attention to such an ordinary person.
Tang Feng had always said more than he thought, he was slightly stunned, looked down at the young man who had already walked under the horse, and said, "How do you know?" ”
Wang Xiaoer was originally flattering, but he didn't expect to hear Tang Feng's reply before he knew that this group of people really came to the Fire Flame Empire to participate in the competition?
That's a lineup of young talents from the empire representing one of Wind Dragon, Xuanjing, and Tianxuan! He was a little dumbfounded, but his mind turned quickly, he looked up at the nine people on horseback, and immediately came up with a new statement, "Of course I know, you must be tired from coming from afar and running all the way, right?" Since you have come to our Flame Empire, do you need a small help to arrange a place to rest for one night, and then go tomorrow? By the way, there are a lot of news about the other Imperial contestants in Yan City these days, so if you want to know, you have to settle down and rest well. ”
Wang Xiaoer is not very old, but he is experienced in speaking and doing things, his job is to help the inn to win over the business and extract meager profits, and by the way to sell some news to outsiders, and now he is born in a few words to explain the concern of the contestants participating in the Four Nations Contest - the strength of the opponent, the right medicine, this is the best way for him to retain guests in the past.
But he is still young, at such an age and dress, there is really no credibility in what he says, except for Tang Feng, none of the remaining eight people believe what he said, and no one wants to stay and rest for a day, their time is not enough, and now they have to rush to the place of the competition.
Tang Feng naively thought that there was really news, and was about to continue to ask a few words, but was stopped by Lu Shu on the side. At this time, Jin Xuanbao, who has always been eventful, couldn't help but smile and said, "News from other contestants? Will you know? ”
Wang Xiaoer was originally fooling people, of course he didn't know, but in order to keep people and make money for himself, he really had some material when he spoke, "Of course I know, don't say anything else, just the few people who passed by Yancheng two days ago, one of them rode a white tiger more than three meters high on the street, that majestic!" It's even more majestic than our city lord of Yancheng! What's even more powerful is that the little son of the city lord's family accidentally provoked the other party, but he was directly beaten and flew out in a blink of an eye! ”
When he said this, it didn't look like a lie, Jin Xuanbao was stunned, he really didn't expect that there was still some news in the other party's mouth, but it was just a white tiger mount more than three meters high? Isn't that an exaggeration?
"And then?" Unexpectedly, this was indeed asked by the leader of the eight people, the second elder invited by the royal family.
Wang Xiaoer smiled when he saw that the other party was interested in his news, even if they didn't plan to stay in Yancheng for one night, there should always be some money to sell news, right?
Of course, Jin Xuanbao understood what he meant, he was already rich, and he was not stingy, so he threw out a gold ingot directly, 'Bang dang~! It slammed at Wang Xiaoer's feet.
Wang Xiaoer really didn't expect the other party to be so generous, one gold ingot is enough for him to eat for several years!
He bent down to pick it up and stuffed it into his arms, and with the harvest, he might as well tell all the news he knew, but in order to gain more trust, his words were also half-truths and half-truths, "Those people riding the white tiger are said to have the strength of a martial king!" Later, after they left Yancheng, it seemed that they had encountered interception, and there were hundreds of enemies! Among them, there are several strong warriors, but they all died in their hands, and the scene was tragic~ There was a river of blood! There are so many masters in this competition......"
