Chapter Eighty-Four: Leaving Fengcheng

After Jiu Wentian led the horse and left the City Lord's Mansion, he saw Gu Zhengwen standing on the street over there, and Jiu Wentian rode on his horse and walked towards Gu Zhengwen. Gu Zhengwen motioned to Ji Xingwen to cover his hat tightly, Ji Xingwen lowered the brim of his hat on horseback, and his body was wrapped in dark coarse cloth, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't look like a nobleman, no one should doubt it.

However, there are also more eyeliners in this Fengcheng, and Jiu Wentian is also an envoy of the old city, so being with him will inevitably attract more attention. It doesn't matter if he has been hearing for a long time, after all, no one knows Ji Xingwen, even if he sees his appearance, there will be no problem.

Jiu Wentian said to Gu Zhengwen: "Let's go." ”

The three of them left the city in a few minutes, and in this Fengcheng, they had to go west first and then go north to reach Dragon City, so it was initially estimated that they would have to walk for a day and a night, and if they counted the rest time, they should arrive at the City Lord's Mansion in Dragon City tomorrow evening. After all, Fengcheng is also located in the plain area, to be precise, it is an alluvial fan under the mountain range, and the soil here is also relatively fertile, so Fengcheng is rich in Longcheng to a large extent.

However, with the effect of cultural migration, the people of Fengcheng are not satisfied with food and clothing, and the quality of life must be improved. And Longcheng happens to be in that mountain range, the terrain is similar to Sichuan and other places in the last century, but the mountains of Longcheng are criss-crossed, so the villages and cities are located in those half-slopes or basins, so the connection within Longcheng is more difficult.

But because of the vertical change of the plant belt, the biological population of Dragon City is the most abundant in Mingzhou, and the Hundred Beast Forest similar to the Ancient City is also located on that mountain range, but there is a cliff to the west of the Hundred Beast Forest, so the Ancient City also regards the small mountain range of the Hundred Beast Forest as its own, and it was like this ten thousand years ago. Therefore, the old castle can also be said to be slightly richer.

The people of Fengcheng exchanged grain for the treasures of Longcheng, and many merchants were born in Longcheng, but if it is said to be trade, the merchants of Longcheng are just to exchange for some food, and the merchants of the old city are to make money. This small difference makes the Ancient City richer than the Dragon City, and the Ancient City is close to other states, so the richest in the Ming State is the Ancient City.

Although Dragon City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, there are many animals in it, although there are no evil beasts like the Hundred Beasts Forest, but there are still tigers and lions. This also indirectly cultivated the strength of the soldiers in Dragon City, if you want to live alone in Dragon City, you can't survive if you can't kill a tiger alone.

These Jiuwentian have already analyzed it when he looked at the map, if there is no special situation, this is the case, after all, Jiuwentian is not very good at science, otherwise he would have become a feng shui master here. Jiu Wentian pinched the horse's belly, and then caught up with Gu Zhengwen and Ji Xingwen in front, Gu Zhengwen glanced at Jiu Wentian and said:

"What's the fuss, it's better for us to hurry up. ”

Ji Xingwen's horseback riding skills are much more proficient than Jiu Wentian's, and Jiu Wentian can't help but be impressed, but Ji Xingwen has been breathing the air here frantically since he hit the city gate, and said: "The air here is so fresh, by the way, I heard that there will be big cats catching people outside, is it true?"

"There are no big cats, but there are a lot of bad people. Jiu Wentian said helplessly, he now knew that this lie was common to the world, "By the way, Brother Gu, which way do we go?"

Gu Zhengwen said: "Fengcheng is all fields except for the city, and if you pass through other people's fields, you will definitely be caught and reported to the official, so let's be more stable, go around a big circle, go west from the road in the south, and then go north and then go to Longcheng." By the way, where are you going, eldest prince, if you go to Dragon City with us, you may not be recognized by Long Lao. ”

Ji Xingwen said: "Don't call me the eldest prince, I have nothing to do with Fengcheng now, I have already thought of my new name, I will call it Jiuji, Jiu envoy Jiu, and remember me." First, I would like to thank the envoy for giving me a second life, and secondly, it can be regarded as a summary of my previous life, from now on I am a person who has been reborn!"

Jiu Wentian said embarrassedly: "Okay, Jiu ...... Remember...... , sounds like the name of a pastry, no matter how much. You still call me Wentian, this is Big Brother Gu, my friend. ”

"Wen Tian is good, Brother Gu is good, I really envy your friendship like this. Jiuji said: "I haven't thought about where to go yet, but as you said, I definitely can't go to Dragon City, Ancient City, and Phoenix City, so I have to go to Ice City, where no one has seen me, and I should be able to find the nature of a man there!"

Gu Zhengwen smiled: "Don't look for that thing, you just need to look for manliness, but I think you also look like a man." ”

At this moment, a rabbit came out of a small bush next to it, and Jiuji was so frightened that he almost fell off the horse's back with a flipped over and was accompanied by a terrible scream. Gu Zhengwen laughed, and then helped him to stabilize his center of gravity. Gu Zhengwen smiled from ear to ear, and said while laughing: "I take back what I just said, I take it back, hahaha......"

"It's rare for Big Brother Gu to be so happy, but I'm too nervous for a long time. Jiu Wentian couldn't help but laugh twice.

"The first time I came out to ride a horse, I was a little panicked haha. Jiuji didn't care about this, and he laughed along, this is the life he longed for, not to stay in the house all day long, he longed to go out the window and take risks.

Jiu Wentian then asked: "Jiu Ji, you said that you were going to Ice City, I think it is mostly snowstorming weather there, and your body will inevitably be unbearable when you get there, why do you want to go there?"

Jiuji explained: "Bingcheng is also the center of power in Mingzhou, although the environment is relatively bad, but no one has ever seen me, they are all my mother, no, the lord of Ji City went to visit, and even if there are people from above, I can only hide in the house and not go out to show up." So it was the safest place for me, I had no choice and I didn't complain. ”

Gu Zhengwen nodded and said: "Bingcheng is indeed the safest for him, there are no powerful martial artists except for the border, basically all of them are civil officials in the city, as long as they cross the border, it is an absolutely safe place." The city lord and governor of Ice City are all there, although the living conditions there are a little difficult, but they are absolutely safe, and there are no spies or anything like that, and no one will be bored enough to inquire about the situation in Ice City, because no matter what, it is just an institution that gives notice, although the army is strong, but it is also scattered in the other three cities, it can be said that it is the head of the war between states, and no one will be stupid enough to go to trouble Ice City. ”

Jiu Wentian suddenly realized: "So that's the case, isn't it just right for Jiu Ji to go there, it's just amazing." ”

"But there is one thing we can't ignore," Gu Zhengwen said solemnly: "If he is allowed to go by himself, he will not be able to climb those cliffs or bypass Fengcheng and the Ancient City, which means that he must enter Dragon City with us, but if no one is in Dragon City to protect his safety, he will not be able to get out." So here's the problem, he won't be able to reach Ice City unless we take him or find him a guide. ”

Jiu Ji hurriedly said: "No, Brother Gu, Wentian." You have helped me so much, I can't make any more trouble for you, I can go alone, even if something goes wrong, it's my own choice, I can't delay your affairs. ”

Jiu Wentian smiled slightly and said: "Good people do it to the end, send the Buddha to the west, I have already taken this job, so I didn't think about retreating." You go in with me, and I'll take care of what happens. ”

"Wentian ......" Jiuji was almost about to kneel down and kowtow, if it weren't for the right away, Jiuji would definitely do it, because his mother had never done anything for him since he was a child, not even if he said a word of salvation in front of the demon family, and Jiu Wentian, a person who had nothing to do with him, treated him like this, and he was speechless to express his gratitude.

Jiu Wentian patted Jiu Ji's shoulder, and then said, "Live, just live well." ”

Gu Zhengwen threw a black cloth bag to Jiuji, and then said: "You just wear this thing these days, I've used it before, don't dislike it, wear it now and try it." ”

Jiuji opened the black bag and found that it was a human skin, and he couldn't help but be frightened, but he didn't want to drag others back, so he could only endure his fear a little, and after enduring it, it was his own better tomorrow. Jiuji asked, "What is this for?"

Jiu Wentian saw the human skin and said in surprise: "Brother Gu, how can you have such a thing? Isn't this exclusive to the Yi family?"

"The Yi family?" Jiu Ji couldn't help but wonder and said, "Is that the one who knows how to change his appearance?" I heard that he is very powerful in the old city, is Big Brother Gu from the Yi family?"

Gu Zhengwen shook his head and explained: "No, in the past, Heifengmen bought a few human skins from the Yi family, but they were expensive to death, and one of them was in my hand, I didn't use it at the time, because I claimed to be the number one master in the world, and people who saw me couldn't live for a moment, but although I was a little young and frivolous at the time, it didn't reveal my true face, so this thing was kept by my side, and it just came in handy today." ”

Jiuji also wanted to ask what the Black Wind Gate was, but it was not good to think that he knew too much, so he kept his mouth shut. Jiu Wentian nodded, and then said: "Jiu Ji, this is a human skin mask, you can use it by sticking it on your face, but this is a personal customization, you may not be suitable, you should be a little patient these days." ”
