Chapter 30: Ningsui City

The baroness turned her head to look over, but it was her daughter holding two necklaces in her hands, one emerald green and the other blood-red like fire, standing there with a puffed cheek.

The Baroness smiled and patted her little head absently: "What's wrong with you?"

As if relieved, the bulging cheeks also disappeared, Zhao Yueru handed over the two necklaces in a treasure offering, and said excitedly: "Mom, look at this." ”

"Oh. The Baroness took it casually, she was naturally beautiful and not particularly interested in these foreign objects, but as soon as she got started, her face changed greatly: "This... This... It's a magic necklace!"

"Uh-huh......" Zhao Yueru's head lit up like a chicken pecking rice.

"Not bad, not bad!" the baroness smiled happily, "one wood and one fire, the attributes are just right for the two of us." As she spoke, she hung the red necklace around Zhao Yueru's neck.

"Girl, try it, how about the increase?"

After staring at it, Zhao Yueru jumped up happily: "Mom, the meditation effect has increased by about 20%!"

The girl was overjoyed: "Come, Mom, I'll put it on for you." ”

The Baroness smiled and nodded.

After a moment, a smile tugged at the corner of the baroness' mouth: "I'm also about 20% of the increase." The emerald green necklace adorned her white and slender neck, exuding a different kind of seduction.

"Ah......" Zhao Yueru cheered, and immediately rushed into the pile of jewels and miscellaneous items to pick up treasures.

The baroness shook her head dotingly, thought about it and didn't feel at ease, but still advised: "Yueru, I'm afraid that this chain is coming from the wrong way, you usually pay more attention, it's best not to let people see it." ”

"Got it. Zhao Yueru didn't look back.

However, magic items were indeed scarce, and the girl seemed to have used up her good luck, and after a while, she finally stood up in disappointment, and found nothing.

The Baroness didn't care, it was already a blessing to be able to find two necklaces.

Seeing that Zhao Yueru had finished selecting here, the baroness smiled at Bai Feiping and said, "Child, you can pick up all these things." ”

Bai Feiping shook his head: "Mom, Yueru, you should also bring some jewelry and gold coins with you." As he spoke, he grabbed two handfuls of jewels and gold coins and handed them over.

"It's okay, but these jewels are not needed, and it is not appropriate to be seen by those who are interested. ”

The baroness didn't insist, picked up more than a dozen gold coins at random, and handed a few to Zhao Yueru: "Girl, you take these first, you have to go back to the academy with me first." ”

"Mom, I'm going to be with Feiping...... No, with brackets. Zhao Yueru pouted.

"No, you are not allowed to be accompanied by relatives during the martial arts test, and besides, you can't take such a long leave. ”

The baroness said solemnly: "After arriving in Jinyang City, we will first accompany Xiao Kuo to familiarize ourselves with the environment, and then return to the academy together on a griffin." ”

In the Great Zhao Empire, there are griffin teleportation stations between the main cities of various states and the capital Handan, but the price is not expensive, but fortunately, Bai Feiping and they have all been lifted out of poverty and become well-off here. Now I can sit on this and don't care about it at all.

Seeing Zhao Yueru's entangled face, the baroness continued to speak comfortingly: "Okay, okay, Feiping.... Oh, no, it's Xiao Kuo who will also arrive at the academy soon, don't you have confidence in Xiao Kuo!"

"Oh......" Zhao Yueru finally reluctantly agreed.

"Dead girl!"

The baroness scolded with a smile, then turned her head to Bai Feiping and then ordered: "Xiao Kuo, you also have to pay attention, let your mother deal with everything along the way, don't expose your strength, it will not be good in the eyes of those who have a heart." ”

In the end, when Zhao Yueru's mother and daughter packed up, Bai Feiping also devoured a few weapons stored by Murong Zhennan, restoring his state to the best.

Ready!

......

Approaching noon, the group of three finally bid farewell to the reluctant people in Shanfu Town and set foot on the official road to Jinyang City.

Their first stop was Ningsui City.

Except for directly crossing the mountain range like Bai Feiping did last time, this can be said to be the only way for Shanfu Town to lead to Jinyang City.

Ningsui City is actually the viscount fiefdom of Murong Zhennan's family, and it is also the home of Murong Wenwen and Murong Pingzhi.

With the construction of a port here by the Great Zhao Empire, as a transit place and cargo distribution center connecting the upper and lower reaches of the Nu River, it quickly prospered.

Coupled with the efforts of the previous generations of Murong family heads, in the early days, there was the title of Xiao Jinyang, and now the resident population has reached more than 200,000.

Above the court, there was a faint voice that was about to be promoted to an earldom.

At that time, the viscount Murong Yuantu of this generation will be naturally promoted to earl.

However, the interests involved in this are too great, including a series of redivisions of territorial ownership, which cannot be decided in a moment.

Because of the large number of passengers, the Murong family's management of Ning Sui City was very lenient, except for a few warriors patrolling at the main intersection from time to time, their strength was concentrated on the dock.

Because whether it is the import or export of goods here, the Murong family will extract a certain tax rate, although the vast majority of this tax needs to be handed over to the national treasury, but there is a huge space for operation, which is also the pillar industry of their family.

The four Bai Feiping, who came by land, arrived at their destination with almost no obstacles, the carriage and horses of Ningsui City. They are going to hire two wagons here.

......

There is a small hill next to Ningsui Wharf, and a three-story stone fort is built on the slope, because the terrain here is higher, standing in the fort, you can overlook the whole wharf.

This stone castle is the office of Murong Pingzhi, the eldest young master of the Murong family, who was appointed by the family as the head of the dock.

Here, he not only manages the day-to-day affairs of the entire docks, but also has a guard of about five hundred men, ready to take orders from him.

"Are you sure you're not mistaken?" Murong Pingzhi was still dressed as a warrior at this time, and with his questioning, that fierce momentum almost hit his face.

"Yes, the subordinates will never be mistaken, especially the mother and daughter. The man who came to report the news replied respectfully, half-bent over.

"Damn. Murong Pingzhi cursed fiercely in his heart: "I know that Sima Zhi is unreliable, and now, I don't know how much it will take!"

"Where is this family going?"

"Oh, yes, the martial arts test in Jinyang Prefecture is about to begin. ”

Murong Ping's thoughts in his heart were like lightning, but his face was silent, and he groaned slightly: "Old Five, I remember that the two brothers, Xiaoguang and Xiao Ming, should also participate in the martial arts test this year." ”

"Yes, eldest young master, not only have the strength of these two brothers reached the intermediate level of martial arts, but also because they are twin brothers, they have the same heart, and their strength is doubled when they cooperate. ”

Speaking of this, Lao Wu looked a little envious, swallowed his saliva and continued: "In this martial arts test, in order to ensure that they win the championship, the head of the family specially matched them with a pair of Dapeng. ”

It's no wonder that this old five envy that although Dapeng is only a third-level demonic beast, it is only equivalent to a middle-level warrior of humans.

But this is a flying monster that can fly with its owner and dive to attack. If the two cooperate tacitly, then the growth of strength is by no means as simple as one plus one equals two.

Murong Pingzhi didn't care about this at all, he was already at the peak of the Great Swordsman's strength, and he was a little disdainful of a demonic beast like Dapeng. However, he had other plans, and nodded after hearing this: "Well, that's good, you go and call these two brothers, I have something to find them." ”

"Okay, young master. The fifth respectfully saluted and withdrew.
