It seemed that it would take some time to find the news of Fancheng, but Xu Ning was sure that his location should be in the middle of the Nanzhou Empire and the Zhongzhou Empire, so he took Yan Bing all the way along the border to find it. They don't go fast, they have the right to play in the mountains and rivers, there is not a lot of time like this, there is no burden in their hearts, it is simply a fairy-like day.

Three days later, Xu Ning and Yan Bing came to the border between the Nanzhou Empire and the Zhongzhou Empire, which was not as peaceful as they imagined, but gave people a tense and oppressive atmosphere.

The frontiers are often war-prone places that the kind of people who live inside the empire can't experience. Even Xu Ning walked out of the Dongzhou Empire for the first time in his life, in a completely unfamiliar land.

However, the way people survive is similar, and the people you meet along the way are no different except for a little difference in clothing. It's just that the more you go to the Nanzhou Empire, the more demon beasts you encounter, and the relationship between demon beasts and people here seems to be more harmonious, and there are many demon beasts that are not even complete in human form, but they are still not discriminated against.

Xu Ning couldn't help but think of his mother Ye Yun, she was a humanoid incarnation of a nine-tailed fox demon beast, although the attitude of the Dongzhou Empire towards demon beasts was not hateful, but there was still contempt and hostility in his heart, and because of this, after his father's death, people within the family would bully their orphans and widows.

"If all living beings in the world loved each other, how beautiful the world would be!" Xu Ning said with a sigh.

"I think so. Still, let's have a meal first, it would be nice too. Yan Bing's stomach gurgled a few times. I was a little embarrassed and my face was red.

Xu Ning smiled apologetically, since his body was purified, his ability to absorb aura was very strong, and the energy in his body was transformed quickly, and hunger rarely appeared for him. Even if you don't eat for a few days, you probably won't feel uncomfortable. But Yan Bing is different, her own cultivation is very shallow, and she must have been hungry for a morning on the mountain road.

"There should be a border town right in front of you. If you're lucky. Maybe you'll find an inn, let's go, I'll carry you on my back! ”

Xu Ning couldn't help but put Yan Bing on his back and took a step forward and ran forward.

The strength in his body made him not feel that he was carrying someone. Ran a few steps. Actually braved the wind. Soar through the dense forest! Yan Bing was so excited that he forgot about his hunger for a while.

Most of the entire Soul Continent was covered by dense forests and towering mountain peaks, and only the Xizhou Empire was a desert. The area of the Beizhou Continent is very small, and the barbarians on the plateau are actually the real masters of the house, and if they unite, they will become the real masters of the Beizhou Empire. It is said that there are few trees on the plateau, but there are many meadows and snow-capped peaks that do not melt all year round.

On the border between the Central Continent Empire and the Southern Continent Empire, the environment is actually similar to the vicinity of Qingfeng City, but because of the sparse population, the trees are denser and more desolate. Xu Ning carried Yan Bing and ran forward for a while before he saw an official road that was not wide.

After discerning the direction, especially the direction of the horse's hooves, Xu Ning and Yan Bing identified the border. After walking for five miles, I finally saw the blue buildings and the slowly rising smoke.

"Finally saw someone." Yan Bing took a breath and said, "I usually hate densely populated and noisy environments, but now, I am so hopeful that someone will appear, it's really contradictory!" ”

Xu Ning smiled and said, "Silly girl, how can people like to be lonely? Your so-called stay away from the world is based on having someone to accompany you, and if you really live alone in a place where there are no people, you will be scared to death. ”

"Well, Brother Xu Ning, I think what you said makes sense. Before, I was not alone, after all, there were people from the Yan tribe around me, and I was always worried about you in my heart. Yan Bing said that he was a little embarrassed, and his face turned crimson.

Xu Ning stroked her hair, sighed and said, "In fact, the most terrifying thing is not that a person lives in a deserted place, but a person who lives in a downtown area, but is very lonely in his heart. White Butterfly, probably such a person! ”

The two sighed, and Yan Bing's stomach began to protest again, so he hurriedly wanted to walk to the town in the distance.

This is a typical border town, and the supplies in the interior are very luxurious, and Xu Ning walked in only to find that most of the other things were made of wood, except for the roof tiles. The walls, handrails, and even the floor along the street are made of square wood. There is no clanging sound here, and it is estimated that there is not even an iron striker, so the pots are precious things.

However, there was a fragrance on the whole street, and it was time to eat, Xu Ning took Yan Bing to follow the smell, and finally found a small shop with a liquor flag.

When you sniff it, there is indeed a smell of wine, but unfortunately this wine will not be much better, because it is quickly masked by the strong aroma of meat.

"Little Er, let's eat!"

Xu Ning and Yan Bing did not enter the room, but sat at a table outside.

The tables and chairs are also made of rough wood, and the craftsmanship is quite good, and it seems that there is no shortage of carpenters here.

shouted, but no one inside answered. Xu Ning couldn't help but wonder, it was already noon at this time, why was there no one?

When he was about to stand up, a man dressed as a guy suddenly ran across the street, and when the man ran into the door of the store, he saw Xu Ning and Yan Bing, and he couldn't help but be stunned!

He probably didn't expect that after leaving for a while, there would be guests here!

"You two, who are you?"

"Eat. You're a wine shop! Xu Ning said with a slight smile.

"Oh, the eater, ah, yes, yes, the eater!" The shopkeeper seemed to wake up suddenly, and immediately showed a courteous look, and at the same time a little sorry, and said while wiping the table: "Forgive me, we are very remote here, and usually there are not a few people who come here all year round." Our liquor shop is actually for the people of the town! ”

"It doesn't matter. We're hungry, what do you have to eat here, hurry up and get some! Xu Ning nodded and said.

"Well, I mean, I'm stewing meat in my pot, and if it weren't for that, I wouldn't have come back! Wait a minute, I'll go get ready to eat! However, there are no good things in our place, they are all in the mountains and forests, if you don't dislike it......"

Xu Ning smiled. said, "It's okay. Serve whatever you want, and if you have any wine, bring me some too. ”

"Okay!"

Finally, someone came to the door, and the shopkeeper immediately went back to prepare.

Yan Bing frowned slightly. said: "Brother Xu Ning." This little two doesn't seem to have something to say. ”

Xu Ning nodded. Glancing into the room, he whispered, "Let's leave after eating, so don't ask too much." ”

"Hmm." Yan Bing nodded.

Not much. The rich fragrance came out of the store, and the shopkeeper walked out with a large plate and a wine jar in his hand.

The plate was placed on the table, and Xu Ning and Yan Bing couldn't help but straighten their necks!

What a plate, it's clearly a big basin! And it's the kind of clay pot with very rough workmanship, this kind of thing, the Xu family in Qingfeng City is used to grow flowers, as for the wine jar, it's a bit too big, and the Xu family usually uses it to pickle pickles!

"It's ......"

"Oh, that's kind of a specialty in our town, two slow to use. By the way, I still have something to do, so let's go first! The shopkeeper actually threw down Xu Ning and Yan Bing and left.

The people in this town are so strange!

Xu Ning looked at Yan Bing, Yan Bing also looked at Xu Ning, and the two didn't dare to move their chopsticks for a long time.

There are three kinds of meat in the pot, the big piece is beef, the whole one is a bird, it is impossible to tell whether it is a pigeon or a chicken, and there is also a large herring.

No wonder it's so fragrant, it turns out that three kinds of meat are piled up together. In addition, there is a thick layer of oil floating on it, and there are various mushrooms and wild vegetables soaked in it, and the various colors are good, but neither of them dares to eat it!

Xu Ning tore open the mud seal on the wine jar, and a fruity smell rushed out, although it smelled of wine, but it smelled more like vinegar!

"Brother Xu Ning, I, I'm not hungry!" Yan Bing put down his chopsticks and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"This ...... It's okay, try it first, maybe the dishes here are ingenious? I'll take a sip first! ”

Xu Ning hesitated for a long time holding the "vinegar jar", gritted his teeth and took a sip.

A sour and fragrant smell rushes into the throat, a little sweet, a little winey, but it doesn't taste strong at all.

"It's supposed to be fruit wine, and it's not bad." Xu Ning wiped the cold sweat on his head, "I thought it tasted like vinegar, but it was okay." ”

"So, I'll try it too!"

Yan Bing picked up the chopsticks again, added a little fungus, and swallowed it like a medicine.

I didn't chew it, I swallowed it directly.

"How?"

"I'm too hungry to taste!"

The two stared at each other with a look of helplessness.

At this time, the shopkeeper came back again, and he seemed to be muttering something.

"Little second brother, do you have anything else here, for example, steamed bread?" Xu Ning thought to himself, let's eat something normal.

"Oh, guest officer, this one really doesn't. We don't produce food here, we eat from the mountains and forests, and the wine is also made from fruits, so it's okay! ”

Xu Ning nodded helplessly.

The shopkeeper smiled, suddenly sighed again, and said, "I really thought that I couldn't even stay in this place, alas! ”

"Oh, little second brother, what do you mean by that?" Xu Ning felt that he knew something, and asked hurriedly.

"The guest officer is from the Dongzhou Empire, haven't you heard of it?" The shopkeeper asked rhetorically.

"What did you hear?"

"Alas, the Dongzhou royal family issued an order that all people within fifty miles of the border must be withdrawn, otherwise, they will be killed in ten days! Our mayor is discussing this with everyone! ”

Xu Ning was stunned for a moment, and felt very strange in his heart, the Dongzhou Empire should take care of itself now, his letter was enough for them to tremble, could it be that something had happened?! (To be continued......)
