Chapter 293: Entering the Golden City
Chapter 293
In the heart of the lush forest, on a narrow path, a caravan is in the shape of a serpentine, one in front of the other, and the horses are rapidly marching forward. The chariot and horse ran over the ground and made a "clang" sound, which shook the beasts hiding in the surrounding jungle from afar, and some robber spies who were still watching looked at the signs of the Jin family and the Muye Chamber of Commerce hanging on the carriage in the center of the caravan and retreated one after another, and did not dare to disturb.
The caravan rushed all the way by, without stopping for a moment, crossing the path and stepping onto the official road, and the faces of the guards around the caravan finally showed a little relaxed looks. finally rushed to the Jin family all the way without danger, and seeing that the situation could be reached early, it could be regarded as meeting the requirements of the third prince.
A middle-aged man in high spirits in front of the team shouted softly, the speed of the caravan slowed down, and the middle-aged man grabbed the reins, turned his horse's head and drove towards the carriage in the middle of the convoy. Approaching the carriage, the middle-aged man said respectfully: "Third son, we are almost here, do you need to rest for a while before entering Jincheng." ”
"Hmm," the man in the carriage replied faintly.
The middle-aged man respectfully stepped back, returned to the front of the team, raised his hand, and said loudly: "Rest in place for a while, and then set off." Everyone in the caravan silently received the order, and the people on the horse got off the horse, took out the dry food they carried with them, nibbled a few bites, drank some water, and did not leave the place half a step, the tense nerves still kept an eye on the movements around them, and they did not stop rushing for more than ten days, and did not let them lose their vigilance.
In the slightly wide carriage in the center of the crowd, Yuan Yi leaned lazily on the soft couch with her legs crossed, and the rush for several days had no effect on her. Along the way, she spent most of her time meditating, further breaking through and consolidating the strength of the demigods. After all, she has found an opportunity to break through. It's just that there is a lack of time to accumulate strength. Of course, if you work harder, you can improve your strength before entering Lingyun Palace, and you will have a better chance of saving your life in case of danger.
Opposite her, Yue Bai lowered his eyebrows and looked at the rolls of account books in his hand seriously, since the establishment of Fengyun City, he has been exhausted in dealing with the external affairs of Fengyun City, this time his father and elder brother were overwhelmed, and finally seized the opportunity. Directly handed over all the business of the Makino Chamber of Commerce in the Sowell Empire to him to take care of. Finally went out of the far gate, without the oppression of the piles of affairs in Fengyun City, Yuebai, and was overwhelmed by the endless files and account books from the Makino Chamber of Commerce.
Seeing that the carriage stopped, Yuan Yi slowly opened his eyes, looked up at Yuebai who was seriously reviewing the account books with some sympathy, and then looked at the huge number of account books beside him, the corners of his mouth twitched, and sighed in his heart: Sure enough, people who do big things are tired to death, don't want to stop and rest for a minute, which is like her, nothing to do. A person is free, and she is indeed much happier than them.
"Cloud pupils. You better put away the schadenfreude at the corners of your mouth, I look jealous. Yue Bai didn't raise his head, still looking down at the account book, but the corners of his lips and slightly frowning brows revealed his helplessness. The voice is also weak, although he is physically strong, but it is not iron, he has been busy in the dark for more than ten days, and he has little time to rest. Casually put up the pen for review, he put down the account book in his hand, glanced at the still huge account book beside him, rubbed his temples with a headache, and sighed in his heart, it seems that he has to work overtime all day today. Not daring to delay time, Yuebai casually picked up an account book and continued to read.
Yuan Yi also knew that he was busy, so he didn't bother him, so he took out a set of tea sets from the necklace, made him a pot of refreshing strong tea, and put it on the small coffee table next to him. Yuebai just raised her head slightly, said "thank you", and continued to bury her head in the pile of account books.
In fact, Yuebai usually doesn't need to be so busy, these account books are usually taken care of by special people, and the reason why he is so busy now is that it is very unfortunate to catch up with the end of the year (but this is likely to be deliberate by his father and old buddies), and the major trading houses of the Sowell Empire have submitted a year's account books to Yuebai for review, so there is the scene of the previous scene. Originally, Yuebai didn't need to be in such a hurry, but he was so busy just to make some time to prepare to investigate Jinyuan's situation after entering Jincheng. This time, only Yuebai came to Jincheng with her, Lan Mulin was the lord of a city after all, and there were still many things to deal with after the siege of Warcraft, he couldn't leave at all. Not to mention the others, Ling'er is not very helpful when she comes, and it is not suitable for her lively temperament, but Yuan Yi has a better chance of winning alone. And Yuebai came on behalf of the Makino Chamber of Commerce, Yuan Yi's identity is his little servant, they just came to investigate now, and after seeing Jin Yuan, they will decide on the specific situation, under the guise of the Makino Chamber of Commerce, they will move more freely.
Yuan Yi boredly raised the curtain of the car and looked at the scenery outside the window, and after a while, he got tired of it, withdrew his gaze, and continued to meditate.
The caravan rested for a while, and immediately got ready to go, but this time the speed of the caravan slowed down a lot, and when it went to the official road, it would encounter some cars and horses one after another, and this speed would naturally slow down.
In the evening, the whole caravan finally entered Jincheng before the city gate was closed, and when they saw that it was the sign of the Makino Chamber of Commerce, the soldiers at the city gate did not check anything, so they let it go directly.
Yuan Yi listened to the noise around him, slowly opened his eyes, and Yuebai on the opposite side saw her wake up, and also raised his head, and said: "We have entered Jincheng, today we will stay in the hotel under the name of the Makino Chamber of Commerce for one night, and tomorrow I will go out to inquire about the news, and the rest depends on the situation." ”
Yuan nodded, Yuebai continued to bury his head in the account book after speaking, Yuan Yi was a little curious, and raised the curtain to look at the scenery outside the window. At this time, they were driving slowly in the middle of the crowded street, which was very wide, and the streets were full of various shops, and they had a posture comparable to that of the Emperor of the Kyle Kingdom. It's just that this Jincheng obviously pays more attention to the heritage, and each building is very ancient, but it doesn't lose practicality.
And the most attractive of them is the refining of Jincheng, this small road, she has seen no less than ten refining shops, five are making weapons, two are making armor, and the remaining three are making some strange gadgets, and the reason why you can tell these are refining shops is that each shop will have the logo of the Jin family hanging on it. This time he came to the Jin family, Yuan Yi had done his homework in advance, the Jin family was good at refining, almost half of the gold elementals in the mainland, and almost monopolized the refiner industry. Everyone in the mainland knows that the Jin family only does the refining business, and if you want to buy good weapons, armor or various auxiliary refining props for life, you need to come to the Jin family, so the shop with the Jin family mark is naturally a refining shop.
The caravan passed through the downtown area, turned a corner, and stopped in a slightly quieter alley. The middle-aged man at the head of the line knocked on the door, and the door immediately opened, and a small servant came out of it, and the small servant saw that it was a caravan. Immediately and respectfully retreated behind the door, leaving the hidden gate completely open for the caravan to enter. The originally quiet courtyard behind the door was immediately lit up, and dozens of people of all sizes stood there respectfully to greet them.
The caravan did not stop, and the long procession of carriages was completely submerged in the depths of the courtyard, and only dismounted when it stopped in the central square. Yuebai put all the account books into the space ring he carried, stood up and lifted the curtain, stepped on the small stool prepared by the little guy and got out of the carriage elegantly, Yuan Yi followed behind him, but jumped out of the carriage directly, and the kind of noble man's temperament on Yuebai's body was beyond her reach.
A short and fat middle-aged man licked a somewhat flattering smile and greeted him, looking at Yuan Yi who came out behind Yuebai, the small eyes that narrowed into a slit flashed with a glint of essence, and said with a smile: "The third prince has worked hard all the way, the room has been prepared for you, do you go to the room now, or do the third prince have other instructions." ”
"Go back to the room first" Yue Bai replied lightly, and then pointed to the middle-aged man who was commanding in front of the team all the way behind him and said, "Recently, the inner courtyard here has been handed over to Chief Manager Wu to take care of, so don't disturb at will." ”
The fat man glanced behind Yuebai, nodded respectfully and replied, "Yes, I will ask Manager Wu to take care of me in the future." ”
"Shopkeeper Xu is too worried, let's take the third son and this son to rest first." The middle-aged man, who is also Manager Wu, still has a serious face, and his voice sounds full of intimidation every word. The fat man immediately replied yes, and ordered the little guy to lead the others to their respective rooms, and personally led Yuebai and Yuanyi to the room prepared for them.
Makino Chamber of Commerce has a lot of money, and the prepared room is of course not bad, she didn't go into Yuebai's room, but she was very satisfied with Yuanyi's room, and she actually brought an indoor hot spring pool, and it was not a problem to swim. After walking all the way for more than ten days, there was only a handful of time to rest, staying in the carriage, Yuan Yi felt a lot stiffer, and soaked comfortably in the hot spring pool, the dense water vapor steamed, making people drowsy. Yuan Yi is in good spirits, although she has not completely rested, but the meditation and meditation all the way has made her very energetic.
Looking at the hot spring pool in front of him and feeling the warm touch of the hot spring water, Yuan Yi couldn't help but think of the hot spring he had soaked in before, and he couldn't help but think of the dark night that he hadn't seen for a long time. I don't know why, I always think of that guy intentionally or unintentionally, maybe I'm too used to it, and the sudden departure still makes her a little uncomfortable.
Yuan Yi patted his cheek and said helplessly: "When did you become so sentimental like a little girl." Cheer up, get up from the hot spring pool, put on your pajamas, recline on the big chuang, take out an ancient recipe from the necklace, study it carefully, find something to do for yourself, and save yourself from boring old cranks.
