In the evening, the three of them lit a fire on the trade road for the night, and finally came out of the forest in the afternoon of the next day and came to Wanshui City, which was also the first time Ziyan saw Dachengchi, but it was a little different from Ziyan's imagination......

"This is Wanshui City?" Chen Dagou looked at the residents coming and going on the street with an excited face, the cries were endless, and there were many stalls on the roadside with strange things.

"It's really a big city, it's more prosperous than the Liuyun City in my memory. Yu Qianniao also sighed.

Ziyan didn't think it was anything special, it turned out that this was a big city? To be honest, it wasn't as prosperous as the town in his hometown...... Most of the buildings here look a little old, and the so-called novelties are not as small as those of my hometown, and I don't know how big the city is.

"Get out of the way! Not far away, a few horsemen on horseback and dressed in soldiers' clothes kept clearing the road and rushing towards themselves.

Ziyan and the others and the people also hurriedly ducked on both sides of the street, or crowded into the shops, so as not to block the movement of the army.

"Everyone, listen up!" A soldier on a horse in the team shouted with a piece of paper: "Now the country is in trouble, the Western Barbarians are jointly attacking our Dog and Horse Empire, and there is an army attacking from the south of our country, the empire is currently short of manpower, and everyone needs to work together to defend the empire! Now men over the age of 18 and under the age of 45 can sign up at the west gate or the east gate of the city! Or follow directly behind our team! I hope you can contribute your own strength, long live the Dog and Horse Empire!!"

"Long live the Dog and Horse Empire!!" Chen Dagou also shouted, but unfortunately the people around him were silent, making Chen Dagou's shouting a little abrupt.

Chen Dagou looked around in embarrassment, only to see that everyone was looking at him like fools.

"This brother, do you want to sign up?" the propaganda cavalry stopped at Chen Dagou and looked at Chen Dagou and asked.

"Ahh I..."

"He has to find his brother first, and he may not be able to register for the time being. Ziyan replied for Chen Dagou.

The cavalry glanced at the two men with disdain, but did not say anything, and walked away with the long line.

"Let's go too. Zi Yan said expressionlessly, but in his heart he remembered what happened in Xiaoyun Town, even the tiger and wolf cavalry general Li Xiaohu and hundreds of strong people with more than five ranks were planted, how strong should the opponent be?

The two of them left for a short time, and found that the situation of the inn here was similar to that of Xiaoyun Town, and it was basically requisitioned by the army.

"If you want me to say, you might as well go to the Qinglou to have a look, the Qinglou should not be requisitioned. The owner of an inn said as he counted the accounts.

"Qinglou?" Ziyan was puzzled and looked at Chen Dagou and Yu Qianniao.

"You don't know about Qinglou?" Yu Qianniao looked at Ziyan in surprise.

"Yes...... Is it the same place as an inn?" Ziyan looked at the surprised expressions of the two of them, a little confused.

Yu Qianniao and Chen Dagou felt a little funny: "Isn't it? Haven't you heard of Qinglou? Let's go, Brother Dog will take you to see it today." Saying that, Chen Dagou patted Ziyan's back and left.

Wanshui City East - 'Mirror Flower Moon'

Ziyan and the three of them stood at the door of a very magnificent green building, and the plaque in front of the door read the words 'Mirror Flower Moon'.

In front of the door of 'Mirror Flower Moon', many men come in and out, and most of them are men dressed like rich sons.

"What kind of clan is that?" Zi Yan looked curiously at the servant who followed behind a young man, this female servant's skin was wheat-colored, and her appearance was very different from that of the citizens of Inuma Country, with deep facial features, Zi Yan had never seen this kind of person.

"Haven't you seen this before??" Chen Dagou and Yu Qianniao looked at Ziyan with strange faces, and they both wondered if Ziyan was from the Inuma Country.

"I don't think it's normal. Ziyan was speechless.

Yu Qianniao explained: "This should be a race from the southwest, probably a slave pulled by a defeated country. ”

As he spoke, a man with a stick and dressed like a thug walked up to Ziyan: "What are you doing, don't go in and go, don't lead the horses to block the way!"

"Can I live here?" Ziyan asked.

"This is Qinglou, what do you say?" the thug glanced at the saber on Ziyan's waist.

"I'm afraid that I didn't come from where to ask for food, so I want to say that I can hurry up and leave. A man's voice came from behind Ziyan, Ziyan turned his head to look, and saw that it was a fat man dressed in wealth, followed by two tall and strong servants.

Ziyan didn't pay attention to the fat boy, but looked at Chen Dagou and discussed with him, because if you don't stay here at night, you don't know where to stay.

"I said, if you are dressed in such tatters, if you have money, you should hurry up and buy clothes, learn what rich people come to the Qinglou, and you are not afraid of scaring the girls in the Qinglou. ”

The man who looked like Childe walked two or three meters in front of Ziyan, and when he saw Ziyan's face, he was also startled by the black lines, and then, a disgusted expression appeared on his overnourished face: "I said, you still dare to put such a scary guy in? Don't you hurry up and get rid of it?" Childe frowned and asked the doorkeeper.

"This ......" The thug glanced at Ziyan, and after glancing at the fat boy, he couldn't help but get upset, if it was really an ordinary beggar, he would have driven it away, but after watching the door in this high-end Qinglou for a long time, he saw more people of all kinds, and he had a certain eyesight, the young man among the three people in front of him, although his clothes were in tatters, but the saber on his waist was not a high-grade weapon that he could afford with a little money, and this person's eyebrows showed an extraordinary color, and there was an aura of a powerful warrior between his body, how could he have the down-and-out appearance of a beggar: "Sun Gongzi, you better invite inside, just let the little one deal with it here. ”

Sun Gongzi heard this, but he didn't plan to leave, he just wanted to stop him.

"Do you know me?" Ziyan asked when he saw that this Sun Gongzi seemed to be deliberately unable to get along with him.

"How do I know you?" asked Sun Gongzi with a frown.

"Then why are you stopping in front of me?" Ziyan asked again.

"Because you're a beggar, you're not allowed to go in. Sun Gongzi continued.

Ziyan shook his head when he heard this: "I'm not a beggar. ”

Beggars, in fact, Ziyan is rarely seen, in the town of his hometown, there are almost no beggars, and after coming to Wanshui Town, he has seen more beggars than he has seen in the previous ten years.

"Hey, how do you talk with a low-eyed guy?" Chen Dagou pointed at this guy named Sun Gongzi with a spear wrapped in cloth, very unhappy.

"Hey!hey!hey!What do you want to do?" Sun Gongzi stretched out his fat finger and pointed at Chen Dagou's cloth wrapped in something like a long stick: "Want to hit someone?" As soon as the words fell, the two servants behind him stepped forward and blocked in front of Sun Gongzi, looking at Ziyan and the others coldly.

"Ziyan, let's go, don't worry about such fools. Yu Qianniao also spoke at this time.

"Who are you scolding, stinky?" said Sun Gongzi angrily.

"What's the matter? want to do it?" Chen Dagou stood a few steps forward, quite a bit of momentum to fight.

"Come on, come on, you two, go up and him!!" Sun Gongzi said angrily, and his two servants looked at each other, delayed.

"Yo, come, why don't you come? Turtle grandson, return grandson, if you coax you today, you will be my own grandson. Chen Dagou sneered, he wanted to provoke the other party to make the first move.

"Come on, why don't you two go up? Believe it or not, I'll let my father fire you when I go back??" Sun Gongzi scolded, but the two servants not only didn't do it, but also dissuaded: "Young master...... The lord has orders, let us watch you and don't let you get into trouble......"

"Oh, coward. Chen Dagou sneered and turned to look at Ziyan: "Brother, let's go in." ”

"Hmm. Ziyan nodded, walked ahead, and walked towards the 'Mirror Flower Moon'.

"You!!" Seeing that Ziyan ignored him, Sun Gongzi walked next to him, and suddenly stepped forward to punch Ziyan.

Ziyan grabbed Sun Gongzi's fist, Sun Gongzi wanted to break free, but he was pinched and couldn't move, and the two servants behind him saw this and hurriedly came up to help, but they were blocked by Chen Dagou's spear: "Your opponent is me." Chen Dagou looked at the two servants coldly and said.

"Let go of me!!" Sun Gongzi said angrily, twisting his fat body to break free, but there was no way at all, Sun Gongzi shouted the names of the two servants, and when he looked back, he saw that the two servants were knocked to the ground by Chen Dagou alone.

"Is there anything else you want to say?" Ziyan looked at Sun Gongzi expressionlessly.

"I..." Sun Gongzi was trembling with fright at this time, he never expected that this Chen Dagou, who only looked a little strong, could actually take down his two martial arts servants by himself.

Ziyan lowered his head, saw that Sun Gongzi's legs were weak with fright, and let go of his hand: "What a fool." Sun Gongzi didn't stand firm, collapsed to the ground, Ziyan glanced at him disdainfully and left: "I don't even have the qualifications to do it with me." ”

"Did you hear that, turtle grandson!" Chen Dagou kicked Sun Gongzi's buttocks and kicked Sun Gongzi over: "Next time, don't be so arrogant when your grandfather catches you, otherwise you will be beaten to death." After speaking, he ran towards Ziyan.

The thugs on the side looked at this scene helplessly, thinking that this grandson is really relying on his father, even if he is arrogant in the city, he has no eyesight at all, and now he can get into stubble.

The thug shook his head and asked the other thug companion to inform the proprietress of the house.

"May I ask what do you need?" A young woman with a veil was a little speechless when she saw Ziyan and the three of them, only to see that the clothes worn by these two men were a little tattered, especially the young man, who looked like he was 16 to 17 years old, and the other woman was quite beautiful, but she was also wearing cheap clothes that I didn't know where they were produced.

"We needed food as well as accommodation. Ziyan replied, and at this moment he glanced at the people inside, and there were women in fancy costumes everywhere, as well as sons in luxurious clothes, which surprised Ziyan very much.

"Accomodation...... Yes, we can, but we won't just provide accommodation......" Veil Lady said euphemistically.

"What do you mean?" Ziyan didn't understand.

"It's that you have to ......" The veil girl looked at Ziyan's face, and when she saw those lines at first, she felt a little scary, but when she calmed down and looked closely, her face was angular, and her sword eyebrows were starry, very heroic, and she had the majesty of a powerful warrior.

"I just have to ask for prostitutes/maid services. Chen Dagou interjected: "We will pay the money, but the prostitute/woman is forgotten, we are too tired to travel, and we need to rest." ”

"Okay, then you can come with me. The woman straightened her veil, and took Ziyan and the three of them through the lively atrium, there was a door behind the screen, and there was a corridor through them, the left side of the corridor was the room, the right side was the flowers and trees, and there were many crossroads along the corridor, all of which were other rooms that didn't know what to do, but without exception there were women dressed up everywhere, and even the maids who served tea and poured water were at least good-looking, and when they walked to the end, it was actually facing the lake, and there were many pavilions on the lake, and there were many gorgeously dressed men and women playing on it, and there were also many boats on the lake, carrying those men and women wandering on the lake, but it was too late to appreciate it too much, and the group turned right.

"Well, it's the innermost one. Veiled Woman gestured to the room at the end of the hallway.

"Girl, I haven't said the price yet. Chen Dagou followed behind and reminded.

"About a tael of silver for a day's stay. The Veiled Woman replied.

"So expensive??" Chen Dagou couldn't help but be speechless.

"Guest officer, this two includes the cost of feeding the horses, the cost of accommodation, and the food needs you may have, we are the largest and best Qinglou in the city, even if it is on the list of the entire dog and horse empire, if you think it is expensive, please find another place." ”

"No, we haven't had anywhere else to stay after looking for a long time. Chen Dagou said.

"Yes, there are many brothels, but I don't know if those illegal brothels are clean or not, and there is only one in the city in a place as magnificent as ours. The veiled woman said.

"Well, it's just one or two, and it's not nothing. Chen Dagou said painfully.

How ...... is one or two Ziyan remembered the silver taels he had paid to the proprietress, and Qin Hua also said that he had lost a lot at that time, but now that he thinks about it, it is probably less than four or five taels.

"But, is your room quiet enough? I won't give you money if I can't sleep at night. ”

"That's why I brought you here. The Veiled Woman led the three of them to the end of the corridor and looked for the key to unlock the lock: "The rooms around here are empty, basically, you won't be noisy at night." ”

"Yo, that's pretty thoughtful. Chen Dagou pushed the door open, only to see that it was clean and tidy, and there was a faint fragrance.

"It's really good. Chen Dagou praised.

"Then I'll go first, and if you need anything, just come to the front and look for me. The Veiled Woman said, ready to leave.

"Wait a minute. Chen Dagou followed the woman: "I'll go with you, get some good dishes and come back, Brother Ziyan, do you want to go." ”

Ziyan shook his head: "You go." ”

"I'll go too. Yu Qianniao followed behind Chen Dagou.

"Then we both went. Chen Dagou said.

"Hmm. Zi Yan nodded, watching a few people leave, Zi Yan came to the lake pavilion at the end of the corridor, this lake is very large, the distant shore can only see a little vaguely, and the pavilion is very large, it is hard to imagine how the pavilion was built in this big lake.

Ziyan flew up to the top of the tall building, and in the courtyard below, on the shore of the lake, and in the pavilion on the lake, there were beautiful women everywhere, or talking together, or around the men drinking and talking.

Closing his eyes, Ziyan felt that he knew too little about the things in the world at the moment, he had never seen Qinglou in his hometown, and it may be that he didn't pay attention to it, but it was obvious that this place was only come from a rich and noble family.

The atrium of the 'Mirror Flower Moon'

"The menu is here. The veil girl handed a wooden board to Chen Dagou, who took the wooden board and was a little embarrassed: "This...... There are very few words I can recognize......." Chen Dagou turned his head and wanted to ask Yu Qianniao for help, but saw Yu Qianniao gathered in a group of people, as if he was making some fun, and wanted to call her, but he was embarrassed in a place with so many people.

Chen Dagou looked at the veiled girl with a little embarrassment: "Wait a minute, I'll call her." ”

At this time, the man next to Chen Dagou smiled: "Do you want me to help?"

Chen Dagou looked at the man, the man was much taller than himself, and he was handsome, Chen Dagou smiled: "Then thank you brother, what is the name of the brother?"

"My name is Luo Ming......"

"Thank you, Brother Luo, in advance. ”

"It's okay, let's look at the dish, look at this dish....."

Yu Qianniao was surrounding a group of people at the moment, only to hear the crowd, a female voice was talking about her heroic deeds, Yu Qianniao stood on tiptoe, jumped, jumped a few times, the man in front of him saw this and gave way to the position, Yu Qianniao saw clearly, only to see a woman dressed as a male warrior stepped on the stool with one foot, holding a wine jug in one hand, drinking, when the girl turned her face, Yu Qianniao only felt that she was beautiful like a goddess who had fallen into the mortal world, just a glance, and fell into her beauty.

"It's too late, it's too fast, this little master flew and jumped, dodged a tail whip from the dragon lizard, and slashed it away, but unfortunately, the thickness of the dragon lizard's skin armor is not something that ordinary things can hurt at all. After that, she frowned, and poured herself another sip of wine: "But, sir, who am I? I am agile, and I have been dealing with the dragon lizard for three hundred rounds, and finally seized the opportunity to stab the eye of the dragon lizard, what a terrifying beast the dragon lizard is? I was stabbed in the eye, and the roar shook the valley, and my timid companions were scared of weak legs and feet, but I don't blame them, even me, they are a little unbearable." ”

"And what happened later?" asked the onlookers.

"Later, I was also quite annoyed, how could a strong man of the second stage of my dignified Heaven Pole put a desolate beast in his eyes? Wait, the girl put the flask on the table, took off the gauntlet, revealing her white hand, and then, from the sandwich in the bracer, twisted out a half-palm-sized scale-like thing, dark gold.

"This is the scale armor of the dragon lizard, I was really helpless with it at that time, my sword couldn't hurt it, but in order to buy time for my companions, I fought with the dragon lizard while comforting my teammates, fortunately, we have a companion who is still more competitive, she, fused with the legendary ice condensation flower, ice condensation flower do you know?"

Everyone shook their heads, and a man in white saw this and said: "The ice condensation flower is an immortal thing, it is extremely cold, and it is difficult for the whole country to find it by absorbing the essence of heaven and earth." ”

Everyone nodded, and the girl also nodded: "It's still this son who is well-informed, and it seems that I haven't seen you in the past few days." ”

"Oh, in Xia Li Guang, I heard from my friend about the girl's deeds, and today I came to see the girl's true face. The man in white replied gracefully.

"That's right. The girl pinched the scales of the earth dragon lizard: "Or back to my companion, although she is not as powerful as me, but with the ice condensation flower, the strength should not be underestimated, the power of the ice condensation flower is extremely great, and the cold air emitted is not something that the scales can stop, so I pestered the earth dragon lizard to buy time for her to condense the power of the ice condensation flower, and finally let her successfully freeze the earth dragon lizard, this scale is also taken from the earth dragon lizard by me as a souvenir." ”

"Good!!" the crowd applauded.

"Girl, can you borrow these scales and take a look at them?" "There was a proposal.

"Of course, but what about ......" The girl coughed a few times and glanced at everyone: "My scales are precious, how can I show them for free." ”

"I'll give you two hundred copper coins!" was immediately humane.

"I'll give five hundred. Someone followed.

"A tael! The girl's scales are worth the price. ”

Then everyone paid one after another.

The girl handed the scales to the boys, and when one of them saw this, he directly stretched out his hand to hold the girl's white hand.

The girl withdrew her hand and smiled, "After reading it, pass it on." ”

"Hurry up, what are you inking. Soon someone urged the boy to return the scales to the girl.

"You don't have to give it back to me, can you just take it?" the girl took the scales.

"Of course, it was you who handed it over to us in person to make it look ceremonial. As he spoke, another boy stretched out his hand and took the girl's hand.

"Qin Hua, it's time for us to go. A handsome man squeezed into the crowd said.

"Oh, this is the girl's brother, isn't it? A boy said.

Everyone looked at the man.

"He's not, you didn't come before. Someone replied.

"I'm sorry, my name is Luo Ming. Luo Ming turned to these sons and replied: "I am the servant of Lord Qinhua. ”

"Oh, I didn't expect the girl's servant to be so extraordinary. Someone said.

"I ......" Qin Hua looked at Luo Ming embarrassedly: "Luo Ming, didn't I say it, you go and do your business, don't worry about me, and besides, don't call me an adult anymore." ”

Luo Ming didn't answer Qin Hua, but looked at everyone: "I'm sorry, she's going to rest." As he spoke, he pulled Qin Hua to leave.

"What are you doing?! I haven't confiscated my money. Qin Hua shouted as he was dragged away by Luo Ming, but Luo Ming did not stop.

"I'll go, I didn't take my scales and gauntlets either!" Qin Hua said dissatisfied, and then Li Guanggongzi took the scales and gauntlets from others and threw them on:

"Girl, catch it. ”

......

Yu Qianniao stood in the crowd and watched Qin Hua being held by Luo Ming, like a landscape, and unconsciously gave birth to a trace of envy in his heart, thinking that these two must have a good relationship, thinking like this, he couldn't help but be a little lonely, and it was time to find a wishful husband to marry.

Inside the room on the second floor

"Luo Ming, what are you doing?" Qin Hua said hatefully: "The silver that is almost in your hands has been lost by you like this." ”

"Haha, what do you want so much silver for? Zifei smiled: "You are too wealthy." ”

"You know what. Qin Hua put on the gauntlet: "Of course, the more silver, the better, and the money of this group of people is too easy to earn, I knew that I would not be a bodyguard at the border in the first place, it is tiring and dangerous, and the money is not as fast as this." ”

Zifei shook his head with a smile, closed the book in his hand, touched his neck, and sat here after reading a book for a day, his neck was a little sore.

"But what do you think of those sons who like to soak in the green building think of you?" Luo Ming asked.

"It doesn't matter what he thinks, isn't it good to make money?"

"Don't do these things, it's a shame to lose face. ”

"Okay, you've only been with me for a few days, you dare to take care of me, don't you?" and dislike me?"

"With all due respect, that's not what you should do as a girl. Luo Ming looked at the drunken Qin Hua and frowned.

"Hey, what does this have to do with girls or not? Look how much they worship me. ”

"I don't think they have bad intentions for you. Luo Ming said and took a handkerchief out of nowhere.

"What could it be?" said Qin Hua with a frown.

"Hold your hand out. ”

"What?"

"Wipe it off. Luo Ming said, squatting down slightly, covering Qinhua's hand with a handkerchief.

"Isn't it just a touch of hands, what's there, do you think the money is easy to earn?"

Luo Ming wiped Qinhua's hand seriously: "When I was young, I was a housekeeper for members of the royal family, and I was strict with many etiquettes, I hope you can also be strict with yourself." ”

"So you mean I'm rude? I'm out of manners?"

Luo Ming didn't answer, in the past few days, Luo Ming knew that there were many bad things about Qin Hua, but he had already decided to follow her, and he didn't dislike it, but he had to help her change it.

"Ask you, speak. Qin Hua said, taking out another drink, ready to take a few more sips.

"Stop drinking. Luo Ming snatched the drink.

"Huh?" Qin Hua glanced at his empty hand, and then he was really a little angry: "Luo Ming, do you really think you can take care of me?

"It's not good to drink. ”

"Take it!" Qin Hua looked at Luo Ming with half-squinted eyes, and anger was written between his eyebrows, like an angry little fox, full of cuteness.

'Mirror Flower Moon' backyard

Yu Qianniao and Chen Dagou walked on the corridor one after the other.

"What were you just looking at. Chen Dagou asked.

"There was a girl there just now telling stories of her adventures. ”

"What's so nice about that. ”

"I didn't hear it before, but I think it should be interesting. ”

"yes, the lake in front of me seems to be quite interesting, so I'll go take a look first. ”

"I'll go too. ”
