Chapter 217: Entering the City
While Zaji and the others were celebrating the rest of their lives after the catastrophe, Ling Chen returned to the room early, and then sat down cross-legged on the bed, and with a flip of his palm, a storage bag appeared in his hand, which he got from Su Lie today.
Looking at this bag, Ling Chen smiled slightly, and began to check the things in it, although this Su Lie is a martial artist of the Nine Realms, the wealth on his body is not very much, counting some valuable things, it is only tens of thousands of taels of gold to get a net worth.
After a little inspection, a strange piece of metal appeared in his hand, and on the metal plate, there were some pattern-like imprints.
Spread out, this piece of metal is only the size of a palm, gray and yellow, depicting routes, rivers, mountains, and forests, and at the edge of the map, there is a red dot that is very eye-catching.
"It's a treasure map."
Ling Chen carefully studied the map, "I can't see where the mountains and forests are, but this big river is clearly the Heishui River, and the red dot is not far from the north bank of the river, I wonder if the red dot is the treasure hiding place?" ”
Ling Chen had already studied the surrounding mountains and rivers to a certain extent, otherwise, he might not be able to understand the places marked on the map.
"Will this map be related to the ancient city of Jinsha?" Ling Chen showed a thoughtful look, this map is made of special materials, it doesn't look like those shoddy treasure maps on the market, it looks like something old.
However, the location marked on the map was still very far from where he was now, at least five hundred miles away, and there was a large river in the middle, so he had to take the waterway.
The next day, Ling Chen said goodbye to Zaji and the others and continued to embark on the journey.
Galloping all the way, before dark, Ling Chen arrived at the foot of the North Wind City.
The city of the north wind is the only city on the north wind grassland, the area is not inferior to the king of the wind, the length and width of the city wall is more than fifty li, and millions of people live, one third of them are floating people, selling foreign beast materials for a living.
The soldiers defending the city are all tigers and wolves, their temples are bulging, and their eyes flash with sharp light from time to time, which makes people shudder, and most of the soldiers guarding the city are martial artists, and some of them have reached the realm of martial artists, and the breath is strong.
This North Wind City is the border city of Ze and the Wind Country, although it is under the jurisdiction of the City Lord's Mansion, but the forces of the Moon Worship Chamber of Commerce and the Black Dragon Gang are also intertwined in this north wind, and the foundation of the Moon Worship Chamber of Commerce and the Black Dragon Gang are all here.
However, the three major forces have already formed a tacit understanding with each other, and they are not allowed to do anything in North Wind City, otherwise they will be jointly attacked by the three major forces. Therefore, although the North Wind City is chaotic, it still looks like a calm and peaceful place on the surface.
On the streets, you can see all kinds of people coming and going, including the city guards in blue armor who fell in the streets, and the moon worship chamber guards who wore blue robes and inspected the business.
On both sides of the street, there are many stalls. The owner of the stall was shouting and selling his goods.
Ling Chen wore a hat and led the horses to the inner city.
"The crystal perch that I just caught from the Heishui River is only sold for five hundred taels of silver."
"The Wanyue Sword, a famous sword in the rivers and lakes, sharpens iron like mud, sword qi is like moonlight, kills without blood, and is worth 50,000 taels of gold. Shaoxia, come and take a look, this sword is very suitable for you. A thin man in his fifties pinched the gorgeously framed long sword in his hand and stared at Ling Chen, looking very expectant.
Ling smiled and didn't say anything, just glanced at the waning moon sword, pulled out the sword body to look at it, and shook his head, this sword is just a vulgar thing, and there is still a big gap between it and the famous sword in the rivers and lakes.
He now has sword intent, an ordinary sword, he only needs to look at it, he can see his sword bones, the quality of the sword, he can see it in an instant.
After Ling Chen walked over, two men dressed in black walked out of the alley next to him and pointed at Ling Chen's back.
"Big brother, do you think it's this person?" A man in black looked at Ling Chen's back and leaned into the ear of another person.
The man in black nodded, "Although he has a hat, his figure is the same as in the portrait, and he is definitely him." ”
"This kid is really bold, he killed Hall Master Su, and even dared to come to North Wind City."
"That's good, you go and send a few thugs to keep an eye on him, don't let him run out of sight, I'll go and inform the gang leader to receive the reward now."
"Yes."
The two men in black exchanged glances, and then one of them also turned to leave.
"Looks like the Black Dragons have noticed me."
Such sneaky actions, can hide from others, how can they hide from Ling Chen, I didn't expect his disguise to have no effect, and he was discovered so quickly.
"But this is the North Wind City, it is clear that they still dare not make a move, breaking the rules, causing the anger of the City Lord's Mansion and the Moon Worship Chamber of Commerce, I am afraid that the Black Dragon Gang will also be difficult to gain a foothold in this North Wind City." Ling Chen was not worried, he sensed the person who was following him, and then stepped up his pace, just a few turns, and then the person who was following him was dizzy, and lost the trace of Ling Chen in front of him.
"Damn it, what about people?!"
The man in black looked around, and his face immediately turned ugly.
At this time, Ling Chen had already come to another street, how could the other party be able to track him with this little ability, and did not take the man in black to heart, Ling Chen looked up and looked around, overall, the luxury of North Wind City is not as good as that of the royal capital, but it is very majestic, when the restaurants in the distance rise from the ground, as high as four or five floors, five or six floors, it looks very magnificent.
Lingyue Restaurant.
Ling Chen raised his head, came to the door of a luxurious restaurant, and then walked in.
This restaurant, full of glazed bricks and tiles, is seven stories high, and is the most luxurious place in the entire North Wind City.
At the same time, Ling Chen also knew very well that the largest restaurant in North Wind City was the property of the Moon Worship Chamber of Commerce.
If he lived here, he would not dare to come to this place to make a mistake even if he gave the Black Dragon Gang ten more dares.
Walking into the door of the tavern, there are lights everywhere, and those who enter and exit here are all dignitaries in the city, or people who are famous far and near, and have a certain status, otherwise, they can't afford to consume at all
"Guest officer, how many?" The bartender said respectfully when he saw that Ling Chen's aura was magnificent, his dress was extraordinary, and his expression was respectful.
Ling Chensai gave the other party a hundred taels of silver tickets, and said lightly: "Just one person, bring me a first-class room, and the rest is a tip for you." ”
"Okay."
The bartender took the reward money into his arms and took Ling Chen upstairs with a smile.
At this time, in another very imposing building in the City of North Wind.
This is located in the west of the city, relatively speaking, there are fewer people, and the people who live are poor, but this part of the city is the territory of the Black Dragon Gang.
In the largest hall, there were black-clothed people in uniform costumes, and on the main seat, there was a fierce one-eyed man, and the aura exuded from his body was very strong, this person was the leader of the Black Dragon Gang, Liu Sha.
