Chapter Seventy-Nine: A Very Large City
In front of me is a city.
This city is very large, bigger than any city that Liu Fuling and Ah Ye passed before, and it must be more prosperous, you don't need to step into it, just close to the city, you can hear the noisy voices of people on the other side of the city wall.
The two of them were like countless people who entered the city, dressed simply, their faces were slightly dark, and they habitually frowned at the Sichuan character, as if there was always something invisible to stimulate the sight, the two walked side by side, the girl was still a few steps behind, but she grew taller, still slender, but not thin, but the woman's slender, she was finally no longer the little girl hiding behind the young man's figure.
Although it was short, the years still left some marks on their bodies, and Liu Fuling also grew taller, but he was thinner than before, highlighting that the two eyes were bigger and deeper, like two mouthfuls of pooled water, without any emotional ripples.
He tucked his long, dark and unkempt hair back and tied it into a bun with a long strip of cloth, which was very irregular and crumbling.
The difference is that Ah Ye casually draped her neck-length hair behind her, and carried a wooden sword around her waist, the wooden sword was already broken, and it seemed that it would break as long as she made a simple swing, but she didn't care, her hand stroked the body of the wooden sword from time to time, like a swordsman ready at any time.
The wooden sword was bought by Liu Fuling a year ago, with the intention of learning some basic swordsmanship, but she didn't change it to a new meaning, and she has been carrying it around her waist until today.
Liu Fuling looked up at the city, and there was no need to ask, the words that were pronounced by the passing crowd were its name.
"Shinno."
Before he even arrived, he had already begun to hear its name, a strange city of freedom, a third party sandwiched between two countries, both of which were abandoned to the point that it was a pity that it had become like a hot potato and a place without an official army to be stationed under its jurisdiction.
But it is also a necessary place between the two countries.
Therefore, it is a blessed land for merchants and a place of disaster, and there is no need to do even the whitewashing on the surface, there is a flood of thieves here, but travelers like Liu Fuling and Ah Ye don't need to worry about these, but on the way to come, they still encounter a lot of thieves, and they waved their hands and sent them away.
But into the city, there is still a set of rules that belong to it, the early gangs in the city in the opposition constantly scuffle, stand out a few become the climate, the two sides made unwritten rules, and after a bloody tempering, it gradually stabilized, two worlds in the city and outside the city.
Now that they have arrived in front of the city gate, there are countless pickpockets and thieves in the crowd, and they have to pay an expensive entrance fee to enter the city.
Xinye City is very large, but the city wall is not high, some of the self-sustaining brave people who go to the rivers and lakes, climb into the city without a penny, then the next day will be outside the city, in order to set an example, enter the city This checkpoint, the oil and water are too rich, and there is no room for the existence of any problems.
Liu Fuling and Ah Ye paid the money and took the sign to enter the city, the guards were not regular officers and soldiers, but at a glance they also knew that they were much more fierce than the officers and soldiers.
Entering the city gate, and the flow of people converged, like water droplets into the trickle, here from the surface, there is no difference from other towns, but the only obvious point is that there are a lot more warriors with sword accessories, not only knives and swords, but also such as guns, whips, axes, etc., there are many people who can see that they are practicing martial arts, but they can't see weapons on their bodies.
Maybe it's a hidden weapon, a small flying knife or something like that, or it's poisonous, Liu Fuling doesn't like to use poison, it's very troublesome, the best way is to kill it with a thunderbolt, but it's best not to kill it in close quarters, you don't know when you'll be hit, or fight back when you're dying, he met one a long time ago, and he applied poison on the hidden weapon, but after the other party, he used internal force to suppress the poison in the wound, and the next thing was to cut the flesh and bleed, and he died and lived.
At that time, he was still alone, and now, if he encounters the same situation, he doesn't think there will be any change, Liu Fuling glanced to the side and found that Ah Ye was completely attracted by the surroundings.
She touched him with her elbow, pointed to a person, and said: "Look, look, I think that person should be dressed as a man, you look at his walking posture, and the white and tender appearance, it's really okay, I don't know how to blacken myself a little, stick a beard or something, is it Miss Everyone, be careful not to be dragged into the dark alley by that bad guy, the rivers and lakes are sinister." ”
Liu Fuling glanced at it casually and said, "It's a man, but it's a eunuch." ”
Ah Ye nodded thoughtfully after hearing this, "I thought it was only in the emperor's house." ”
"There will always be a few of them in a better Goolan yard." When Liu Fuling saw an inn, he walked in, and when he saw that it was not full, he picked a corner spot to sit in.
At this time, the shopkeeper came to greet him, Liu Fuling asked Ah Ye to go some, and he observed the people around him.
There is no need to ask, the words have already been heard.
"Why am I here, you ask? Aren't you talking nonsense, it has already spread in the past few days, the eldest son of the Wang family in Xinye City, the young gang master is extremely talented, and this is only the year of the weak crown has already left us laymen far away, and he is no longer a martial artist! In the future, you should be honored as a cultivator! ”
"This news is unreliable, you say me, it's not a young month to go to the rivers and lakes, I think it's okay to have a trick under my hands, but I've never met a real cultivator, at most I just listen to some nonsense that others say, it's the same as my mother's, God and God, if you want me to say, what is flying away! Unbelief! ”
"That's your loneliness, it's too ****** lonely!"
"You, don't drop the book bag with me, I'm lonely and unheard, what's the matter, isn't his Wang family in Xinyeheng, since his son's martial arts have jumped nine grades, why don't you clean up the other ones, one is bigger, what a beautiful thing."
"Well, the big man has his own plans, why are you so serious, whether he is true or not, since everyone has announced the characters in the entire west, everyone is welcome to celebrate, and seeing his son-in-law being accepted by the legendary cultivation sect, the words are all let out, can there be a fake? It's a big deal to eat and drink, when the time comes, the king will be in charge of the whole city's restaurant, let you eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, and the whole family will buy it, if you want me to say, atmosphere! It's refreshing! Whether it's true or not, I'm going to hold this field! ”
"That's right, I love to listen and drink! Drink! ”
"Speaking of which, I heard that the women in the Chunyue Building are all tender and tender."
"Don't think about it, a restaurant with that kind of price can't take our turn as a ronin......"
Liu Fuling retracted his attention at this time, and the dishes he ordered were brought up one by one, and the young man pointed his fingers on the pitted wooden table.
"Teapot of sake, sake." He said.
"No, Spirits."
"Very strong wine."
