【081】 Coldwater City
On the sixth day, the team finally saw the tower of the cold water city from afar.
The tall city tower exudes a black brilliance like an iron bucket, and it is indeed a border city, and this city tower is many times more magnificent than Nabei City.
Tang Fei secretly praised in his heart, and quickly arrived under the city tower with everyone.
Only then did Tang Fei see that this black was really iron, and this city tower was first built with diamond rock, and then a layer of iron juice was poured on it!
When the iron juice is dry, the whole tower becomes impregnable, becoming a whole, a veritable copper wall and iron wall!
When they get outside the city, it's time for everyone to break up, and the escort mission of the mercenary group will also end here, as long as the caravan arrives in Coldwater City safely, it will be considered a success.
After collecting the rest of the money, the head of the regiment walked in front of Tang Fei with the black dragon.
"I don't know what Brother Tang plans next, our mission this time is also completed, just in time to take the brothers to Coldwater City to relax, if you have time, come into the city with us." The regiment commander said.
"That's great, it's the first time I've been here, and I don't know a lot of things, so there's a lot to ask the head of the regiment for advice. Tang Fei smiled and did not refuse.
"Hehe, that's the best, don't dare to ask for advice, if Brother Tang has anything to ask, just ask, I should know everything. ”
The head of the regiment and the black dragon had a heart-to-heart friendship, and they all laughed heartily when they saw that Tang Fei did not refuse.
The group of three walked towards the city gate, and the rest of the mercenaries were led by their own deputy commander, and then followed.
The three of them were talking and laughing, and they had just walked to the city gate, but they were stopped by a veteran.
"Stop!"
Tang Fei was stunned for a moment, and secretly screamed in his heart, could it be that he was recognized like this?
Since Tang Fei came out of Uncle Qin Xi's house, he disguised himself according to Gu Lan's guidance, although he still looked young, but one face had already been judged to be like two people, and others should not be able to recognize it at all.
It is precisely for this reason that he will take action when he encounters a thief, anyway, others remember him as just a disguise.
But now that he was stopped by the veteran, he was a little frightened, could it be that he had recognized it.
However, his worries were unnecessary, and at such a moment when he was surprised, the black dragon beside him had already greeted him with a smile and handed over a silver coin.
The veteran's face looked much better at this time, and he removed the barricades and let Tang Fei and the three of them enter the city.
"Hehe, I patronized and chatted with Brother Tang, and I even forgot the rules of this Cold Water City. ”
"What are the rules?" Tang Fei asked suspiciously as he entered the city.
"Oh, I forgot that Brother Tang is here for the first time, and he definitely doesn't know the difference between this Cold Water City and other cities. The black dragon patted his head and smiled.
"This Cold Water City is located in the extreme west, and the environment is even worse, there are almost no products in this place, and even food and daily necessities have to be transported from other places, but this is the only place in the entire Qianling Empire that is rich in snow foxes, and the snow foxes must have heard of the Tang brothers. Most of the reason why many people come here is because of the snow fox here, of course, there are also some businessmen, so this coldwater city has an additional rule for paying the city tax, and everyone who enters the coldwater city needs to pay three copper coins. That's why some soldiers stopped us just now. ”
"You have to pay taxes when you enter the city, this city lord of Cold Water City is really good at collecting money, but how much can you receive for just three copper coins?" Tang Fei sighed.
"Brother Tang, if you think so, then you are wrong, although the terrain of this Cold Water City is remote, but the daily flow of people is amazing, and the emperor is only afraid that it is not far behind, very little and more, but relying on this tax to enter the city, the annual financial income of this Cold Water City is among the best in the entire Qianling Empire!"
The black dragon patiently explained.
The three of them just talked and walked like this, at this time they had already entered the Cold Water City, and the endless crowd on the street was so lively, but now it was just dawn, and I didn't expect that there were so many pedestrians on the street. It seems that what the black dragon said is true, the flow of people in this place is really terrifying.
Tang Fei looked at the endless stream of people rubbing shoulders, and said in his heart.
The voices of hawking on the street came and went, and there was a thriving scene, which was many times stronger than that of Nabei City.
There are some spirits with weapons on their backs everywhere on the streets, it seems that no matter where they go, spirits are the most popular profession, Tang Fei under the leadership of the black dragon and the regiment leader, through the streets, and finally walked to the very center of Coldwater City.
It is a very large square, and a huge white jade statue stands in the center, and you can walk in and take a look. It was originally a woman, holding a three-foot sword, wearing a green dress, and her appearance was dusty, like a fairy who had degraded the mortal world, Tang Fei almost lost his mind.
If the shoulders are shaved, the waist is like a su, the rhino hair is bright, the eyebrows are green, the face is like a lotus, and the skin is like condensed fat...... "This is really a peerless woman!" Looking at the statue woman, Tang Fei couldn't help but murmur in a low voice.
"Hehe, Brother Tang turns out to be also a man of temperament!" Looking at Tang Fei's stupid appearance, the black dragon couldn't help but laugh.
"Who is this? Why is a statue of her erected here at such a young age?"
"This is the founder of Snow God Mountain, Fairy Meng Yao, don't look at her so young, her cultivation is unfathomable, even if the emperor of the empire sees her, he doesn't dare to think anything wrong, this statue has been standing here for more than a hundred years, but I have never seen Fairy Meng Yao herself, this person is a big mystery! Although no one has ever seen her in person, but no one has ever dared to offend her divine might. ”
"Fairy Mengyao ......"
Tang Fei lost his mind again, before coming here, he had never heard of these secrets, but now that he was here, he realized that this continent was far from being as simple as he imagined.
"Let's stay away from here, if the people of Snow God Mountain misunderstand that we have blasphemed the fairy, then we will be in big trouble!"
The two of them, the black dragon and the head of the group, seemed to have an instinctive fear of the Snow God Mountain, and pulled Tang Fei away from the statue.
Although Tang Feiren left, the peerless woman on the statue was deeply imprinted in his heart.
By this turn, it was almost noon, and during this time, the deputy head of the regiment had already found them, told the regiment commander about the mercenary group, and then left.
There were still only three people left, and the three of them found a small shop on the street to eat a little, drank some wine, and got up again.
This time their destination was the Snow God Mountain Sect, which was proposed by the Black Dragon. Tang Fei smiled slightly, this black dragon is really interested in this Snow God Mountain. Shaking his head but not refusing, he also wanted to see what this Snow God Mountain, which was said to be miraculous by the black dragon, was like.
