Chapter 24, Arriving in Cloud City
Yuncheng is located in the north of the continent and belongs to the four northern countries, the junction of the northern country, the Chen country, the wind country, and the Xiao country.
From a distance outside the city, the tall city walls blocked the view of outsiders, but from the serenity on the faces of the people entering and leaving the city gates, it could be seen that the city must have been peaceful and not affected by the flames of war.
This place was originally a barren place, many years ago, the ancestor of the Gu family brought his family to settle here. In order to protect future generations, a huge formation was set up in the form of Tongtianshu, and no foreign enemy had ever broken it.
The Gu family established a clan with benevolence, and accepted all outsiders, and over time, it developed into a city with more than 100,000 people.
There was once a famous military strategist who predicted that this place was like a balance point in the north, and that Yuncheng would be a battleground to unify the four northern countries.
Many years have passed, Yuncheng is still surnamed Gu, and the four northern countries have not been unified, which also proves from the side that Yuncheng is impregnable.
"Hurry up, Lu Xiang, there is Cloud City in front of you, and after walking for more than half a month, you are finally here. When I go to the city, I want to eat Aunt Wang's hot noodle soup, Aunt Li's roasted sweet potatoes, and Aunt Ma's meat buns......"
Mo Youli dragged the expressionless Lu Xiang and ran towards the city gate.
There was a long queue outside the city gate, more than fifty meters long, a long dragon.
"You still have to check, is it so strict to enter Cloud City?" Lu Xiang frowned.
Behind him, followed by a person wrapped in a huge black robe, a zombie to be exact.
To cultivate zombies, you can't just find a place to leave them behind, take them with you at any time, and being a bodyguard is the right operation.
The question now is whether it can still be brought in if Yuncheng is strictly inspected and the corpse is checked out.
Maybe the worse things are, and the city guards are like the goblins, who think the corpses are witchcrafters, and they may be mistaken for the lichs.
Now that the people of the Dark Continent have invaded the human race, people are panicking, and whoever has anything to do with the lich will have no good fruit to eat.
"It doesn't matter, in order to protect Cloud City, the Gu family will let the city guards strictly control the entry and exit gates, as long as they are not spies or anything, they can enter and exit. Mo Weili comforted him heartily.
"Uh......"
As soon as she said this, Lu Xiang became even more worried.
But it's all here, and you can't just turn around and leave.
The two chatted as they walked to the back of the line and lined up.
"Can you tell me a little bit about the situation in the city, especially the Gu family of the City Lord's Mansion. Lu Xiang said.
Mo Youli raised his head and thought for a while, and replied: "The situation in the city is no different from other cities. As for the City Lord's Mansion, the Gu family...... I can only tell you that the contemporary city lord is Gu Qingtian, who is very loved by the people of Cloud City, and he has a daughter named Gu Liuliu, who is only ten years old and is a very cute little Lori. As for the rest...... I don't know!"
"Well, I shouldn't have asked you. Lu Xiang said.
It's a vain question to ask, with Mo Weili's character, brain cells are spent on chivalry and eating, where will he bother to inquire about the news of the City Lord's Mansion.
What he wanted to ask was something deeper.
This will come to Cloud City, in addition to enjoyment, he also wants to understand the magic, if he can have the opportunity to learn, it would be great.
The Gu family in Yuncheng has established a family with magic, and they have inherited it for so many generations and are still standing, because they control powerful spells in their hands.
Lu Xiang thought very clearly, relying on the mother virus, he might be ten thousand enemies, but if there was no offspring to infect him, he could only rely on himself.
With his strong body, it is impossible to defeat everyone, this world, there is magic, there is witchcraft, there is always someone who can kill him without breaking his external defenses.
Therefore, he needs to know more about different combat methods, and even if he can't learn them, he must think of how to deal with them in advance.
The two diverged from the topic and began to talk about something else.
Not long after, when it was their turn to enter the city, there was a sudden commotion at the city gates.
It was a carriage going out of the city, tightly roofed, and there were several guards around the carriage, all of whom were under the orders of a wealthy middle-aged man. It's like a caravan's carriage, coming to Cloud City to do business.
"Auntie, what's the situation ahead?" Lu Xiang patted the shoulder of the person in front of him.
The aunt turned around and replied with a smile: "Oh, it's that the merchant of the caravan who has to give some cloth to the city guard as a thank you for being treated in Cloud City, this kind of thing, it will happen once in a few days, it's not a big deal." You don't know, it's the first time you've come to Cloud City, right?"
"Ah yes, it's indeed my first time in Cloud City. Lu Xiang nodded with a smile, turned his head and muttered in a low voice: "It seems that the government of another world also likes to put on a show, and I will come once in a few days, and I am quite willing to pay the cost." ”
The cloth in this world is not cheap, and the businessmen who run the merchant come to make all the money they earn, how can they be willing to give the goods to others for free.
After Lu Xiang finished muttering, he looked up, but saw that most of the people in line were looking at him, some frowning, some pouting, and their faces were very unhappy.
Belch......
Seems to have said the wrong thing?
"Hey, don't talk nonsense, the City Lord's Mansion is all good people, especially Gu Qingtian City Lord, if you talk like this, it will be easy to be beaten in Cloud City!" Mo Yuli tugged at his sleeve and whispered.
"Well, I was wrong, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. ”
After all, he has no evidence, and it is indeed abrupt for him to speculate about others at will.
Lu Xiang nodded around and admitted his mistake.
"You just take these cloths, or I really won't leave, if you hadn't risked your lives to save my caravan from those goblins, we would not even have lost our lives now, where can we do business as well as now!"
The merchant standing at the gate of the city took the hand of the city guard and stuffed cloth into his arms, which was a roll of bright red cloth, and looked very festive.
The city guards were helpless.
They are working, how can they collect things from the people?
The merchants and guards were at a standoff at the gates.
The strange thing is that the people who are still in line just wait quietly, without urging them or upset.
came and went, but Lu Xiang waited a little irritated.
Time passed little by little, and Lu Xiang kicked the stones on the ground in boredom.
At one point, he tugged at his clothes.
"Do you feel a little hot?" he asked Mo Yuli.
"It seemed to be a little hot, and suddenly it was hot. Mo Yuli replied.
"When!when!when!"
Above the city gates, a huge bell rang out.
The guards looked up almost at the same time.
"It's an enemy attack, everyone go to the city, hurry up!"
Anxiety appeared on their faces, and their big hands waved, and they began to direct those who were going to enter the city and those who were going to leave it.
In the sky, several fire clouds suddenly ignited.
