Chapter Eighty-Six: A Worldview Determines a Person's Character
St. Han is the capital of Gulatun, there is a crescent-shaped lake in the west, the widest distance in the middle is 500 meters, and a 500-meter-long moon lake bridge is also built.
At the end of the bridge is a wall twenty meters high and eight meters thick.
The stones used to build the city wall are all gold-veined stones, with a white base and golden veins, which shine in the sunlight and are full of agility like flowing water.
Shi Qing stood at the head of the bridge, looked at the past from a distance, and experienced a shock that was not inferior to the high-rise buildings in his previous life.
This shock even made him feel unreal, as if a two-dimensional picture suddenly appeared in front of people's eyes, and everyone would suspect that he was dreaming.
The clear water of the lake sparkles and sparkles, and more than a dozen fishing boats sail through the waves, casting their nets to catch fish.
Hordes of caravans could be seen on the bridge, and they were outside the blackmail lists of robbers, ruffians, and others.
Shi Qing was traveling with a caravan yesterday morning and was robbed by robbers.
The robbers let the wealthy caravan not rob, but attacked three passers-by who didn't have much money at first glance, which made him more and more convinced that there were people behind him.
Because of the language barrier, he didn't torture him, and beat them all up.
Looking at the shocking beauty of this blue sky and white clouds, he suddenly realized that this place must be Shenghan!
Other than that, he couldn't think of any other city in Guraton with such a bustling view.
And Mary, who was sitting on his neck, looked at Shenghan obsessively, and had only one thought in her heart, so big, really big!!
At the same time, she admired her father more and more, and it was amazing to be able to work in such a big place.
John was anxious to separate from Shi Qing, so he opened his hand and said, "Little Mary, come down quickly, I'll take you to Jack." β
Mary came back to her senses, her little feet hooked, and her upper body lay on Shi Qing's head, "No, I'm going to take my big brother to see my father." β
After more than two days of getting along, Mary has become very attached to this big brother who does not speak the language, and ranks him second only to her father.
As soon as Shi Qing saw her movements, he guessed a few points, reached out and touched the other party's head, pointed at her with a finger, then at himself, and finally pointed at Shenghan, indicating that he would go together.
He still likes this sensible and cute little girl very much.
Back then, Xiaoxue was so obedient and cute.
Now, although he is also very obedient, but that kind of obedience seems to be coaxing an ignorant child, Shi Qing sometimes doubts the majesty of his brother.
Mary looked at his gesture, then turned to look at John, grimaced, and said, "Big brother said he wanted to be with us." β
John smiled bitterly in his heart, children are naΓ―ve, and they don't want to think about it, the other party is a Taoist master.
Spoil you one moment, maybe kill you if you're unhappy the next moment, no one can say if it will happen.
The laws that mortals can rely on are as thin as a piece of paper to Taoist masters, and whether they obey them or not depends on their inner will.
It is rumored that there are not a few cities and countries that were suddenly destroyed by Taoist masters.
This is also the reason why John is in a hurry to leave Shi Qing's side.
But Mary didn't know these thoughts, she didn't think there was anything terrible about the big brother below.
can throw high, can pretend to be a big horse, and can help with bathing, he is really a good big brother.
Shi Qing stepped forward, following a caravan until they parted in front of the city gate.
The main entrance to Guraton is closed, caravans enter through a small door on the left, and pedestrians in general are on the right.
Perhaps it is in the relationship between the royal capital, the guards guarding the city gate are all majestic and vigorous, unlike the guards in other places.
The guards here are still loyal to their posts, checking on everyone who enters the city.
John and Mary have no problem, Shi Qing has a problem.
"This man is with you?" The guard pointed at Shi Qing and asked in the language of Gulaton.
John nodded and said with a straight expression: "He is a merchant who has lost his way to our village, and he may be a Taoist master. β
Can't say too much, John, who has never seen a Taoist master, is sure that the other party is, but he doesn't dare to pack a ticket.
Rao was like this, and all four guards gasped in unison.
"Wait, I'll tell the chief," one of the guards said, and hurried into the city gates.
The three guards left behind were quick with their hands and feet, and quickly moved the chairs they used for resting, wiped them clean repeatedly, and made a posture of please sit down.
Shi Qing frowned, then let go and sat calmly on the chair.
Mary glanced left and right blankly, and said blankly, "Uncle John, why are we waiting here?" β
John, who had fought wolves and hunted tigers, forced himself to calm down, and said in a somewhat trembling tone: "Obedient, wait here for a while." β
Without making it too long to wait, an official rushed over, surrounded by guards.
The man's facial features gave the first impression of being ruthless, especially the one with a hooked nose, a snow-white robe, and a violet flower made of sterling silver around his waist.
According to the custom of Guraton, officials must wear pure white to signal that they are not stained with dust, and whether they can do it is another matter.
In short, the attitude is to be clear.
"Lieutenant Ferdinand Chekov, dare to ask the honorable master?"
This fluent business dialect and respectful expression instantly dispelled the impression brought by the appearance.
He got up from his chair and said, "Shi Qing, I was invited to deal with the affairs of the thieves group, but I was late because I was attacked on the way and had an accident while chasing the enemy. β
Fernande didn't ask what the accident was, and said very enthusiastically: "It turned out to be a Taoist master, and the king wanted to see you for a long time, so the lower official will arrange a carriage to take you to the palace." β
Shi Qing waved his hand and said, "Wait a minute, you can help me ask, what is the name of this little girl?" What to do in St. Han? β
Fernand's face was kind enough to ask about the meaning of the two, his eyes flashed a haze, and his expression was still cheerful: "Her name is Mary, because her mother died of illness, so she wants to come to Dad, don't worry, I will ask someone to help arrange it." β
Shi Qing saw that he was unnatural just now, where would he rest assured, and said with a cold expression: "I'll send it personally, I won't spare you!" I will go to the palace myself. β
Fernand was stunned, lowered his head and said, "Everything is up to your orders." β
Shi Qing disappeared at the city gate with Mary and John, and Fernande's face was gloomy, and his eyes flashed with cold light.
Things get tricky.
Jack is a confidant of the second prince, and the little girl is Jack's daughter, and then look at Shi Qing's attitude of loving the little girl.
It is conceivable which faction Shi Qing will be close to.
Fernande never believed in the selfless things of the Grand Duke.
Because he can't do it, how can anyone else do it?
You have to find a way to pull the other side over.
Fernande's gloomy face suddenly showed a smile, isn't it a little girl, if the other party likes it, he can just send a few more.
He remembered that there seemed to be a place in the south of the city that specialized in raising little girls, and if he bought a few from there, he would definitely be satisfied with the other party.
Obviously, Shi Qing's kindness was misinterpreted as having a special fetish.
