Chapter 07: A Distant City
Burning Yan City is a city far away from Liangcheng, from where it will take at least two days to reach a place like Liangcheng, it seems that at least two days or even more before Yun Yang arrived in Burning Yan City, and captured the heart of the princess of Yanguo, or the emperor of Yanguo voluntarily married a daughter in order to form an alliance with the gods. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Ji Xia, who heard the news, was not angry at all about Yun Yang's behavior, nor was she sad about her identity as her fiancΓ©e, she was only sad that she was about to separate from Bailong. The white dragon she raised since she was a child is now about to leave her, and she may never see her again.
The white dragon who heard the news outside wrapped around Ji Xia's arm for so long, and he was reluctant to relax for a moment.
Zhongqiu didn't know Ji Xia's identity, and naturally he didn't understand why Ji Xia was sad.
"What are you crying about?" Zhongqiu asked.
"Nothing." Ji Xia answered.
When he walked into the house, he patted his right arm: "If you wrap my hand again, it will be broken." β
Only then did the white dragon inside let go, ran out and wrapped around Ji Xia's neck again, like a coquettish child, nostalgic for his mother's arms.
Ji Xia touched the white dragon and said something after a long time: "It's a pity that you are his." β
After finishing speaking, he continued to play chess with Zhongqiu and did not say anything more.
In the Chengnan Market, when the man on a fast horse shouted this shocking news passing by, Ji Bin heard it, and Ji Hai also heard it.
The two looked at each other, but neither spoke, those who should paint continued to paint, and those who should strike iron continued to strike iron. The two of them silently thought in their hearts: This matter may be a good thing.
After the three brothers and sisters of the Ji family got the news, they still silently did what they had to do, giving each other a time to think about countermeasures.
In the evening, Ji Hai and Ji Bin returned.
Ji Hai put down the barbecue he bought, and said first: The city lord of Liangcheng asked me to give him a sharp sword, as long as he beats it, he will have three hundred taels of silver, and the money will be enough at that time, and it is estimated that it will take another day.
Ji Bin also said: The girls and boys in the city are almost finished, and they will go to paint for a few big families tomorrow, and it is estimated that there will be several hundred taels of silver by then.
Ji Xia said: Today I went to the Tianqiao Chess Building, and I made more than 3,000 taels by gambling on chess.
The two elder brothers couldn't help but look at their younger sister in surprise, thinking about whether to leave tonight and rarely make iron and paint, but they were afraid that the Liangcheng father would not let go if the matter was not done.
The four of them had dinner, and Ji Bin asked Ji Hai to take Zhongqiu to the next room to talk to Ji Xia about the Yan Empire.
Ji Hai hurriedly took Zhongqiu to the next room happily, leaving Ji Xia and Ji Bin in the house.
"As long as we go to Burning Flame City, we can be treated as immortals, I think this matter is strange." Ji Bin Road.
"How?"
"When Yun Yang fell into the world, it was completely unprepared, which means that he had no immortal energy at all after he fell into the world. Think about it, if an immortal is completely unable to perform immortal magic, how can he explain to others that he is an immortal in just a few days? Ji Bin asked.
Yes, Ji Xia pondered, if he directly told others that he was an immortal, but he couldn't perform immortal magic, then others would only say that this person was a madman.
"Even if Yun Yang really did it, and the Emperor of Yanguo was an idiot, he married his daughter to him. So, why did Yun Yang go crazy and spread it around, so that all the immortals ran to Burning Flame City? He only needs to have an Immortal Yuan Bead, and then fly up directly, isn't it? We don't have to do that much? Also, isn't Yun Yang afraid that the magician will take the first step to kill him? Ji Bin asked his own question.
Ji Xia couldn't answer.
"Also, the strangest thing about this. All immortals and warcers are in the lower realm, and their identities are hidden, and if we don't take out the yuan beads, we don't know if the other party is an immortal or a magician. In order to receive preferential treatment, an immortal must prove that he is an immortal. In this way, the identities of all the immortals in the world will not be completely exposed, and won't the magicians be able to hide and attack in the dark? Ji Bin finally said what he was most worried about.
It was impossible for Ji Xia to answer these things, she just wanted to know what her second brother planned to do about it: "Then what should we do?" β
Ji Bin thought for a moment and replied, "Let's think about it for another day tomorrow, and then go to Burning Flame City." But to hide our identities, when we meet others, they will say that we are businessmen who went to Burning Flame City to do business, and don't reveal our identities until we find out everything. β
"Okay." Ji Xia nodded, if you don't understand something, let the people around you think about it for you, and then just do it yourself. Ji Xia was suddenly glad to have such a second brother.
"By the way, how is your relationship with that mid-autumn?" Ji Bin suddenly asked.
Ji Xia thought about getting along with Zhongqiu in the past two days, and nodded: "It's okay." β
"When the time comes, we will take her with us, she is estimated to be a star clan bigwig, if it is really Yun Yang in Burning Flame City, then it will be a great achievement for us to hand her over, if not, if we meet a magician, then take her hostage." Ji Bin had a dark smile on his face.
"Okay." Ji Xia nodded helplessly.
In the other room, Ji Hai and Zhongqiu were talking about something, and Ji Bin came in and asked Zhongqiu to go back to sleep.
As soon as Zhongqiu came out of the house, he only heard Ji Bin's voice behind him: "I didn't push such a good opportunity, I deserve to be alone for the rest of my life!" β
Two days later, the four of them left Liangcheng and headed for Burning Flame City.
The four of them bought a carriage and went out of the city in the farewell of the people of Liangcheng, along the way Ji Xia was silent, and the white dragon jumped between Ji Xia's hands, enjoying this last time together.
The carriage headed north, and the shadow of Liangcheng gradually disappeared from the sight of the four of them.
After Ji Bin's inquiry, the news released by Burning Flame City learned that Yun Yang gave the immortals a month, and the wedding was held a month later.
Ji Xia and the others could slowly shake all the way, chatting while enjoying the roadside scenery, except for Ji Bin, the other three tried not to think about Burning Flame City.
The news that Yun Yang, the little patriarch of the Yun Clan, and the princess of Yan Guo were about to get married, shocked the world, and the other eight masters of the Nine Kingdoms began to think about countermeasures, if Yan Guo really got the help of the gods, then Yan Guo would have absolute power. This force is irresistible to the other eight countries.
The lords of the eight countries hurriedly put aside their past grievances, corresponded with each other, and prepared to join forces to fight against the Yan country. However, after the floods in the past few days, the world has long been unable to fight again, and the current urgent task of the eight countries is to appease the victims first, and as for the matter of cooperation, we can only wait for the disaster relief to make plans.
Few of the immortals scattered in the world are as lucky as Ji Bin, and they have mixed a thousand taels of silver to spend in just a few days. On weekdays, the immortals are used to being at ease, and they thought that there would be today's tragic situation. Many immortals had to use the Immortal Yuan Bead to conjure up money to make themselves feel better. There are also some people who are unwilling to use Xianyuan beads and almost don't go to the street to ask for food.
At this time, the immortals suddenly heard the news of the marriage of their little patriarch, and many immortals were overjoyed, and those who had silver hurriedly took the silver to Burning Yan City, and those who did not have silver hurriedly used the immortal yuan beads to get out the silver, and they all rushed to Burning Yan City.
Naturally, the demons were not idle, and they had already assembled in groups of threes and twos, setting up ambushes on the way to Burning Flame City, robbing and killing passing immortals.
The immortals also began to form groups of three or five, hoping to reach Burning Flame City safely.
For a time, there were battles between immortals and demons everywhere in the Nine Kingdoms, and the emperors of various countries couldn't control it, so they could only let these immortals and demons come around. Naturally, the emperors were not stupid, and they had already discovered that Yuanzhu was a vital thing, so they began to encourage the victims to find Yuanzhu, and offered rewards at the gates of each city.
As long as a yuan pearl is handed over to the official, five hundred taels of silver will be given immediately, and two bags of grain will be given; The countries even gave the immortals and demons conditions, as long as they voluntarily joined the empires, they would immediately be treated as guests.
When the newly displaced people heard the good news, they began to take action, using various tricks to lure out immortals and magicians.
In some places, as soon as the battle of the immortals and demons ended, some people rushed into the battlefield to find the fallen Yuan Zhu, and even before the battle ended, some people joined the battle to grab the Yuan Zhu.
In some places, beggars were turned over in a daze when they were asleep.
In some cities on the road, some people stay at inns in the middle of the night, and they are often told to be careful, and there are many thieves these days. Some immortals and demons fell asleep regardless of it, but when they woke up in the morning, there was not a single Yuan Zhu left.
And some immortals and demons just took out the Yuan Zhu to identify themselves, and they were stolen by someone after just a few steps.
The immortals and demons who suffered losses began to be angry, and when they were forced to be in a hurry, they used Yuanzhu to attack the people, and the battle between the two sides was fought in the end, and it was even difficult to say whether the outcome would be won or lost.
The lives of many immortals and demons have been wasted on some senseless disputes, and some immortals and demons have no Yuan Zhu, so they can only beg in the world for a living.
The world is becoming more and more chaotic, and the situation is becoming more and more uncertain. The war between the immortals and demons, the war between the immortals and demons and the people started almost at the same time, so half a month later, it was the immortals and demons who suffered, many immortals and demons were resentful and soared, many immortals and demons lived on the streets begging for a living, and many immortals and demons died tragically in the world.
The victims of the disaster have gradually been brought under control, and the distribution of food has gradually become smoother. Half a month later, the victims began to plough again in preparation for the next round of harvest.
The most profitable thing in this human rebellion is the imperial court of the Eight Kingdoms, which collected 10,000 yuan beads in just half a month, and in an instant, it has the strength to compete with the Yan Kingdom.
The alliance has also gradually progressed, with a large number of troops marching to the front lines of the Night Kingdom, and the kings and grandsons of the various kingdoms arriving in the City of Night to prepare for negotiations.
There are already signs of a human war begins.
For half a month, Ji Bin on the carriage considered many possibilities, and kept asking the immortals he met on the road. In the end, Ji Bin made a decision that shocked everyone: he got off the bus in Night Devouring City, the land of the Eight Nations Alliance, and let Ji Xia and the others continue to move forward.
Naturally, Ji Bin explained to Ji Xia for a long time before leaving, and only left one Immortal Yuan Bead on his body, and handed over all the rest of the Yuan Beads to Ji Xia.
Ji Xia put all the Yuan Zhu on his body, looking at so many Yuan Zhu and feeling so tired.
The remaining three continued to go to Burning Flame City, and five days later, the carriage stopped in the early morning outside a forest outside Burning Flame City, and Burning Flame City was in front of them, but Ji Hai didn't leave.
Ji Xia looked at the majestic city from the carriage, the walls were red and yellow like fire, and the red gauze that symbolized joy on the castle tower was tied into a festive shape, indicating that the wedding would be held in the near future.
"We're here." Ji Hai stretched his waist and said to Ji Xia: "Don't forget your second brother's words, wear a hood and hide your identity." β
After that, Ji Hai also gave his Yuan Zhu to Ji Xia, and only left one Immortal Yuan Zhu for himself, but he didn't give any to Zhongqiu.
Ji Xia looked at Ji Hai a little confused, and Ji Hai smirked: "Big brother, I also want to go to a place, this city will not accompany you into it, and there are places where you need to go alone." Don't be afraid, Ji Xia, calm down, this may not be your doom. β
After Ji Hai finished speaking, he walked into the forest without looking back, and disappeared after a while.
Ji Xia looked at Burning Flame City in the distance, and thought to himself, you are all gone, how can I calm down myself?
