Chapter 219, Imperial Rank

Houfeng kept bargaining with Tang Lang, and until he walked to the foot of the imperial capital gate, he reluctantly took out a medal and handed it over, and the rest of the one had to be tricked to say anything.

At this time, Tang Lang's attention was already attracted by the city wall of the imperial capital, and he didn't bother with him too much, and walked to the edge of the city wall to take a closer look.

Standing at the foot of the city wall, Tang Lang was deeply impressed by the majesty of the imperial capital, coupled with the information collected by the system, his admiration for the people who built the imperial capital at the beginning was even more spontaneous.

"The outer wall of the imperial capital is made of high-quality black soil in the suburbs to be tamped into the foundation, and the stone strips are polished layer by layer with the bluestone of Yunshan Mountain, and the gaps in the stone strips are hooked with copper juice, and finally the hundred forged steel is poured on the outside, and the solid formation is strengthened on the inner side, and finally cast into the Xiongcheng that does not fall!"

"My good man, build a city with a hundred forged steel!" Tang Lang floated in front of his eyes countless spars, his previous butterfly knife was made of a hundred forged steel that Father Jiang had treasured for many years, and the Tianlan Empire was only used to build a city wall.

The defense at the city gate was tighter than the teleportation array, and even Yin Tairan had to get down from the carriage to be checked, and everyone was asked a few words by the guards before being released, and after passing through the door of the black hole, they finally entered the imperial capital.

The buildings of the imperial capital still maintain the simple style of the year, all of them are low buildings of stone, the color is mainly gray and blue, without too much decoration, the whole capital city looks majestic and ancient, conveying an inexplicable feeling of heaviness.

Yin Tairan also had a feeling: "Every brick and stone here is soaked in the blood of an ancestor, without the imperial capital, the human race at that time could only resist the demonic beasts with flesh and blood in the wilderness, and live a precarious life." ”

Walking through the city gate, an eye-catching cloth appeared in front of me: "Imperial Dabi Wai County Reception", each Dabi has a total of fifteen counties to participate, plus a variety of retinues, must have a special person to receive it.

Without waiting for everyone to ask, a young official at the reception came forward: "Yin Junshou, I am Huo Zhenghao, who is full-time arranger for Shao'an County to participate in the reception of Dabi, from today onwards, I will work with you to guide all the participation processes until the end." I wonder if those three young talents are participating in the competition?"

Huo Zhenghao's eyes swept through the crowd, and soon focused his eyes on Zhuang Tianrui and the others: "This must be Brother Tianrui, I have seen the photos of your previous games, the swordsmanship is fierce and calm, and he has the style of a general, I wish Brother Tai a victory!"

Zhuang Tianrui didn't dare to hold it up, waved his hand and said: "The empire is bigger than Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, no one dares to win easily, I don't dare to be interested in winning or losing, I just want to have a good fight! These two are the other two players in Shao'an County, Houfeng and Tang Lang, who are also extraordinary!"

"Good two!" Huo Zhenghao's tone was a little light, he was just polite to the two, and he was not optimistic about the two who participated in the big competition for the first time, after all, the big competition concentrated the most outstanding young masters in the entire Tianlan Empire, and Shao'an County was located on the border, except for Zhuang Tianrui, there were no famous people.

There is a special person in charge, and the three of them will soon complete the registration and other processes, and after receiving the process and nameplate of the competition, they can arrange the repair, Huo Zhenghao led everyone to walk through half of the imperial capital, and came to a quiet courtyard group to settle down.

"Yin Junshou and everyone, everyone will stay here for two days, the day after tomorrow is the start time of the Imperial Competition, and everyone here is equipped with a maid cook, if you need anything, you can order it at any time. I also live here with everyone, so if you want to go out, please let me know and I will be in charge of the guide. Huo Zhenghao was quick with his hands and feet, arranged everyone's accommodation properly, and instructed the kitchen to prepare a banquet to catch everyone at night.

"I have other arrangements for the evening! You can rest early after dinner, and I'll take you for a walk tomorrow!" Yin Tairan didn't sit down, so he immediately prepared to go out to do errands, and specially told everyone not to go out, especially to Tang Lang when he said it, so that he was slandered.

"It's the first time you've come to the imperial capital, do you want to sneak out and see the world for a while?" Tang Lang waited until there was no one around, and whispered to Houfeng.

Hou Feng looked at him with disgust: "If you want to cause trouble, you have to drag me into the water, don't go!" Unless you return the medal to me, I will accompany you!"

Tang Lang's eyes rolled: "A medal is worth hundreds of spars, you can't give it to you so easily, at least you have to invite me and Brother Rui out for dinner and drink!"

Houfeng's family background is good, he doesn't care about the spar, hearing that he can exchange the medal back, he hurriedly agreed, Tang Lang sneaked up to Zhuang Tianrui's side, squeezed his eyebrows and said: "Brother Rui, it's rare to come to the imperial capital once, go out for a break after eating for a while, Houfeng has a treat!"

Zhuang Tianrui frowned: "The master ordered us not to go out!"

"Such an adult is still under the control of the master!Just go out to eat something, and don't do anything else, it's okay!" Tang Lang replied nonchalantly.

Zhuang Tianrui still felt that it was inappropriate, but he was worried that Tang Lang and Houfeng would go out behind their backs, and if it was more troublesome, it would be better to go with him and supervise it, so he immediately agreed: "Okay! I'll take you there, I know a good place to go, come back to rest after a few drinks!"

"I know that Brother Rui is the most righteous!" Tang Lang said with flying eyebrows.

The three of them had a dinner party, and they went back to the room to rest under the pretext of waiting until the whole courtyard was quiet, and then secretly converged and came out over the wall.

Zhuang Tianrui has participated in several imperial competitions, and has some impressions of the streets of the imperial capital, so he took the two of them through the streets and alleys to a bustling night market.

"It's here, it's exactly the same as last year, it's the same! Seeing the old man who has a stall around the corner, it's him!" Zhuang Tianrui said, pointing to a humble stall in the night market.

"No, it's not easy, I finally found a chance to slaughter the wind, Brother Rui, you can take us to eat a roadside stall, is there a mistake!" Tang Lang wailed.

Zhuang Tianrui didn't pay attention to it, turned to Hou Feng and said, "You should have heard of a string of incense in the imperial capital, right?"

"What, a bunch of incense is this?" Hou Feng exclaimed.

"This roadside stall is famous?" Tang Lang couldn't figure out the situation at all.

Hou Feng explained: "This string of incense is a famous existence! It is said that anyone who has eaten it once will never forget its deliciousness, and the stall owner also has a rule, no matter who it is, each person will only sell a maximum of ten strings at a time, even if it is the emperor today!"

"Such a, he doesn't even give the emperor face!" Tang Lang became interested when he heard this, and strode forward.

"Wait a minute!" Zhuang Tianrui stopped him: "Why are you going?"

"Go eat a bunch of incense!" Tang Lang's saliva was already in his mouth.

Zhuang Tianrui pointed to the distance: "We're going to line up over there!"

Tang Lang looked in the direction of his finger, only to find that there was already a long queue around him, zigzags through most of the night market: "So many people are here to eat a string of incense?"

"There are still few people today, hurry up, it's a pity to sell out in a while!" The three of them hurried through the countless stalls, walked to the end of the long line and began to line up.

Thinking about sneaking out just now, Tang Lang just ate a little casually at dinner, this will be in the noisy night market, surrounded by the fragrance of frying and frying, his stomach growled, and he couldn't help but say: "Can you buy something to pad your stomach first, I'm so hungry!"

One of the customers at the front of the queue turned around and said, "You have to be hungry, and you can fully appreciate the deliciousness of a bunch of incense after a while, which is simply the best in the world!"

Tang Lang saw that the other party was of the same age and his tone was kind, so he wanted to discuss: "Little brother, can you change the position and give you a spar?"

"One spar! I'll trade a hundred spars for your ten strings after you buy them, how about that?" the customer had a "you haven't seen the world" expression.

Houfeng pulled Tang Lang and whispered: "If you don't understand, don't ask nonsense! The price of this string of incense is not cheap, a string is a spars! Those who can come here to line up are either rich or expensive, who will scarce one of your spars, shame!"

Tang Lang was completely dumbfounded: "A string of spars, this is food or elixir!"

A disdainful voice came from behind him: "Pills or something, you can buy spars at will!" But this string of incense, the entire Tianlan Empire is here, there is no other semicolon, even the method and formula are secret, once someone spent millions of spars to buy, and the boss didn't even pay attention!"

"Master!" Tang Lang suddenly stood in awe of the inconspicuous old man who set up a stall, and his expectation for a string of incense became very urgent.

As time passed slowly, Tang Lang and the three of them slowly moved from the end of the line to the middle, getting closer and closer to the stall, the smell became stronger and stronger, the saliva was already a little uncontrollable, and the image of the customers in front was not much better, staring at the boss's every move.

Only then did Tang Lang see the boss's appearance: extremely mediocre facial features, a white coat as new, gray hair, neatly combed back, a huge crockpot in front of him, and from time to time he threw strings of ingredients into the boiling soup in the crockpot.

When it was finally Tang Lang's turn to be the customer in front of him, the boss frowned slightly, and said to the people in line behind: "The materials prepared today are a little small, and there are still thirty strings to be sold out, don't line up again, come back tomorrow!"

In the crowd, someone made a loud noise, the boss suddenly raised his head, and two cold lights glared at each other: "Don't make noise, mess up my mood!" A terrifying momentum rose into the sky, immediately making the crowd silent.

Tang Lang was the closest, and he was shocked to sweat: "Emperor-level powerhouse!" This breathing aura, he had only experienced it once when Gu Yuxia almost advanced to the Curse Emperor, but he didn't expect that a boss in the night market was actually a hidden master.

Zhuang Tianrui also whispered with palpitations: "It's okay, it's okay! The three of us can buy twenty strings, and six strings per person is considered to be satisfying!"

"You three, give me ten strings! No, give me all of them, and you will come back tomorrow to line up by yourself!" an arrogant voice sounded behind him.
