Chapter 8 First Arrival in Yanran City

"Ah Yan, I heard that Yanran City is very prosperous, and the houses there have several floors, and the tiles are all inlaid with gold, do you know?"

"Many of the houses have several floors, but the tiles are not gilded. ”

"How do you know?"

"It's in the book!"

"I heard that the girls there are all malnourished and skinny?

"I don't know much about this!" Yang Jun replied to Shidun angrily.

Yang Jun, like Shidun, has been in Tianmen Village for more than ten years, although on the Dragon Head Stage, he can overlook Yanran City every day, but today is the first time to go.

I heard that Yanran City is full of traffic and is very prosperous, although he is not as excited as Shidun, but Yang Jun has also longed for Yanran City for a long time.

Today, Tianmen Village arranged for more than 20 people to follow Shi Shanchuan to Yanran City. Twenty men were pulling four wagons and four ox carts, loaded with animal skins, mountain goods, and timber. They need to take the mountain goods to Yanran City to sell.

"Finally arrived at Yanran City"

A majestic city, appeared in front of Yang Jun and others, the city wall dozens of zhang high, is made of the hardest basalt masonry, the wall is mottled, pitted, showing that it has suffered from war.

Yanran City has been standing here for nearly three hundred years. As the gateway to the northwest of the wasteland, it guards the western frontier for the human race.

Today, the city lord of the Yanran Acropolis is still surnamed Jiang, and the guards guarding the city are still the Feiyan Army.

The Qingchuan Jiang family, the gate lord of the Yu country, the prominent noble, the ancestor Jiang Yongheng was one of the first nineteen brothers to fight the world with Yao Fusheng, the founding monarch of the Yu country, and made great achievements.

Although Jiang Yongheng died on the battlefield in the end, he was posthumously named King of Liang by Yao Fusheng, his wife and son, and the title was passed down from generation to generation.

In the period of Emperor Wu Yao Che, there was Great Xia in the north of Da Yu, Great Zhou in the east, and Great Shang in the south were all wasteland people.

"The destiny of heaven is like this, the ancestors ordered me to take the soil to the west!"

So Dayu and Xia Shang struck the war on Thursday, and Emperor Wu Yao Che ordered Jiang Buyi to be the generalissimo of the westward expedition, with the Feiyan army as the vanguard, leading all the armies and the whole country to the west.

The White Tiger Battle Banner beckoned, the Iron Horse Jin Ge swayed, and the army marched westward, attacking the city all the way, driving all the gods of the wasteland to the west side of the Hengduan Mountain Range.

Since then, the entire wasteland, east of the vast Daze, south to the 100,000 mountains, north to the desert, west to the Hengduan Mountains, as if under the rule of the human race.

Hundreds of years later, it still sounds exciting, and I can't wait to join the army on a prancing horse.

After the victory of the Western Expedition, Jiang Buyi was ordered to preside over the construction of Yanran City. Therefore, in the past three hundred years, the successive city lords of Yanran City have all been from the Jiang family.

Now the city lord of Yanran is the contemporary prince of Liang Wang, Jiang Chuan. He has been stationed in Yanran City for fifteen years. After surviving this winter, at the beginning of spring next year, Wang Chengyu will send a new city lord to hand over.

The closer he got to Yanran City, the more admiration Yang Jun felt in his heart, the majestic and mottled city walls revealed iron blood and perseverance.

Under the city wall, there are three pairs of gates, the main gate in the middle is ten zhang high, very wide, and the small gate on both sides is two zhang high. Unless it is wartime, the army is open, and the huge gate in the middle will be opened. On weekdays, only the gates on both sides are open for people to enter and exit.

There are a lot of people entering the city today, and at this moment there is a long queue at the gate of the city, all waiting to enter the city, Yang Jun and his party arrived relatively late, so they can only follow the team.

When everyone was lining up to enter the city in an orderly manner, suddenly there was a commotion at the city gate, and the soldiers guarding the city drove the crowd at the city gate with long whips, and beat the crowd who were guarding the city gate and preparing to enter the city to the back of their horses.

After the soldiers drove the crowd aside, a tall horse jumped out of the city gate, and immediately sat a young man in brocade clothes, riding his horse and whipping and galloping out.

Then, more than a dozen elite horsemen jumped out, followed behind the young man in brocade clothes, and decided to leave.

The group was very arrogant, riding horses and galloping, raising a puff of dust, splashing the people at the city gate, covered in mud, coughing incessantly.

The team galloped past the Tianmen Zhai convoy, and the young man in brocade clothes and gorgeous clothes, when he raised the whip, the long whip flicked and almost hit Shidun's face.

Shi Dun was startled, and he was about to scold: "What ......?"

Shi Shanchuan was frightened, and hurriedly covered his mouth, and only let go of Shi Dun's mouth after the elite horse galloped away.

"Uncle Shanchuan, what are you doing here, you want to suffocate me!" Shi Dun complained.

When Shi Shanchuan heard Shi Dun's complaint, he jumped up, knocked his finger on his forehead, gave him a few large chestnuts, and scolded:

"Stinky boy, do you know who that person is? That's the little prince of the City Lord's Mansion, you be careful that trouble comes out of your mouth! Offend the City Lord's Mansion, the Feiyan Army will pull out a battalion at will, and our Tianmen Village will be wiped out in minutes!"

"It hurts, it hurts! Uncle Shanchuan, you tap!"

"I don't hurt you, you don't have a long memory! How do I explain to you when I go out, talk less, and close your big mouth that causes trouble!"

"Oh! I remember, I remember! From now on, my mouth will only eat and pant, and I will never talk nonsense!" Shi Dun also knew what was at stake, and asked for mercy again and again.

Shi Shanchuan saw that Shi Dun listened, so he stopped knocking him on the head. turned around and explained a few words to Yang Jun and the other three or four people in the team who had just arrived in Yanran City.

"This Yanran City is not as good as our cottage, everyone is more cautious, so as not to get into trouble!"

The team walked slowly, watching the sun set, and it was almost evening. Shi Shanchuan was a little anxious in his heart, his truckloads of goods arrived in the city, and he still needed to sort them out, if it was too late, he wouldn't be able to catch up with tomorrow's morning market.

It's autumn, and fur is very sought-after now, and it's a good time to sell your own truckloads of fur.

One more day of goods, one more day of loss, these 20 or so people and horses in the city to eat and live expenses, one more day, is enough to make Shi Shanchuan heartache.

So he walked out of the crowd, went straight to the city gate, took out a bag of copper coins from his bosom, secretly handed it to the city gate guard, and said:

"Invite a few generals to tea. ”

The guard soldier shook the copper coin in his hand and said, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say!" It seems that he is somewhat familiar with Shishantu.

"Where are the goods from your Tianmen Village?"

Hearing the guards say this, Shi Shanchuan turned around and waved to Yang Jun and the others, and several adults drove the carriage and ox cart, crossed the long line, and came to the city gate.

"Yo, it seems that your Tianmen Village has had a good harvest during this time, and this time you actually pulled eight truckloads of goods. ”

A few guards walked over, flipped over the things on the car, and the spear in his hand was about to pierce the leather goods on the car, Shi Shanchuan hurriedly said:

"The general laughed, this fur can't stand your inspection. Moreover, there are a few fine tiger skins in it, which were ordered by the commander in the barracks, but they cannot be broken, they cannot be broken! ”

With that, Shi Shantu took out another bag of money and handed it to the guard. The guard glanced at the leader, who nodded slightly, and the guard waved his hand and shouted:

"Emergency supplies, emergency release, let's go in!"

"Thank you, generals!

The group pulled the convoy, "babbling", and entered the city gate.

As soon as I entered the city gate, I couldn't walk more than a mile, and suddenly there was a lot of people and a crowd of people. At this moment, it will be late, if this is in Tianmen Village, everyone will start to pack up their things and prepare to go back to the house.

But this Yanran City is still very lively, the stone paved street, ten zhang wide, and there are many stalls on both sides, all of which are shouting and selling.

"Shi Fat, look, look at the girls in front of you, all of them are skinny!"

Shi Dun's voice was very loud, and as soon as he opened his mouth to shout, the people on the street turned their heads curiously to look at Yang Jun and the others. Yang Jun hurriedly turned his head, pretending not to know the stone pier, and took two steps back, a little farther away from him.

Some people on the street pointed at Yang Jun and others, whispering,

"Look, these hillbillies ......"

"Hmm~ It stinks, don't they take a bath......"

"yes, like a bunch of savages......"

Shi Shanchuan and others drove the ox cart and horse-drawn cart, and the cart was full of fur, and the smell was really strong, which caused pedestrians on the street to cover their noses and stay far away.

On the side of the street, a few little dolls playing pointed at him and clapped their hands and shouted:

"Big guy, stinky and baked, don't take a bath, it's a pig ......"

Seeing this, Shi Dun raised his eyebrows, and shouted at the group of children with his teeth and claws: "I'm going to eat you!"

"Wow!", the children scattered in a hurry, and one of them was so frightened that he cried and shouted, "Auntie, help, the wild man wants to eat me, the wild man wants to eat me".

Then a woman rushed over, picked up the crying child, spat at the stone pier, and hurried away.

Seeing this, Shi Shanchuan went up again to give Shidun a few chestnuts, "Give me some points!"

The group came over the crowded street and walked to a house in the middle of the city. This house is the real estate of Tianmen Village in Yanran City, which is said to be a house, but more like a warehouse, which is used to store items on weekdays.

Everyone unloaded the goods and put them away, Shi Shanchuan said to Yang Jun and a few others,

"You have just arrived in Yanran City, you can go out for a walk later, but remember, don't cause trouble. This is not comparable to Tianmen Village. The three of you go out, and everything must be listened to Ahmad. Ah Yan, you are more steady, you want to show me a few of them. And you can only go out for an hour......"

"Okay, okay! Shanchuan, you're really verbose!" Shi Dun didn't wait for Shi Shanchuan to finish speaking, and pulled Yang Jun out of the door.

"Rabbit cub!" looked at the three stinky boys, who ran away without a trace, and Shi Shanchuan could only smile bitterly and shook his head.
