Yanshi City of the Lanye Empire

Yan Zhi, calm down and stop. ~with~dream~small~say~щ~suimеng~lā

Yanshi is the place where the army stopped fighting and returned to Beijing.

Unlike many ancient cities in the entire continent with a history of 10,000 years, Yanshi City has only existed for hundreds of years.

To be more precise, 500 years ago, there were only a few makeshift shacks built by hunters.

However, today, five hundred years later, it has become the most important city in the northeast of the mainland, and it is easily ranked among the top ten on the mainland in terms of prosperity and military garrison.

Five hundred years ago, the first expedition of the original emperor to the west, the first day out of the Tianyuan Mountain, stationed here to stop the army, ordered to build a city on the spot, pointed to the city wall that was still piling up the first layer of bricks and stones, and said with a smile: "Those who pass through this city, they should enter our territory, and the Yanshi will slow down, unload the armor and collect the troops, and there will be no worries about the soldiers." ”

Originally, it was just a joke, but when the person who said it was the first emperor in the history of this world, it naturally became the truth.

Since then, the original emperor's previous expeditions to the west have all transported grain and grass in Yanshi City and allocated baggage, so this wild town took this opportunity to develop rapidly.

The reason why the original emperor chose to build a city here is naturally because it guards the last pass of the Tianyuan Mountain, and the terrain is dangerous.

The Stert Empire holds this city in hand, retreats from a high position, defends it with danger, beats a million male divisions, and advances with a whip to the west, and thousands of miles of fertile soil will be crawling under the iron hooves.

In fact, that's how history progresses.

However, the original emperor never imagined that he would die of illness on the way back from the Fourth Western Expedition.

The original emperor collapsed in the road, then the hundred kings rose together, and the Great Empire finally collapsed overnight, and those regimes established in remote areas could not get the support of the empire, and they were each their own masters, out of the control of the Fortress Empire, and Yanshi City was gradually abandoned and abandoned because it lost the meaning of the imperial portal.

It wasn't until the advent of another emperor that this situation came to an end.

After Emperor Yuantai surrendered in Lanlan City, he immediately sent Marshal Lan Ying to lead the Guards to gallop thousands of miles and capture this city that had belonged to the Stert Empire since ancient times, but was eventually abandoned.

At first, the Stert Empire was not impressed, and there were endless domestic strife, let alone regain its glory, but when they re-examined this portal from a hostile perspective, they were stunned to find that Yanshi City was also their throat.

If the Stert Empire wants to attack, it will inevitably go on an expedition, running around in the mountains, and attacking the defenders who are sitting on a dangerous city with a tired body, if it is a battle with a disparity in strength, if it is faced with an empire that is evenly matched with itself, such a military operation will definitely sigh and think twice.

So today, the two empires have reached an amazing tacit understanding on the Yanshi City, which is the most important gateway to the border between the two empires, and the import and export tariffs and merchant activities have made the city prosper again at a rapid pace.

But all this has nothing to do with Qixia at this time, he is pulling Zhou Xi, drunkenly standing at the door of a splendid building, and grinning and asking Zhou Xi to recognize the words on the plaque for him.

"Ru~Yi~Gamble~Fang~" Zhou Xi read out the words on the plaque word by word with a big tongue and a red face, and then looked at Qixia with a smile: "Boss, am I reading it right?" ”

Qixia nodded, and then pulled the waste wood senior and stumbled up.

The guards guarding the door saw that they were dressed in the usual mercenary attire, and they didn't even nod their heads.

Such rookie mercenaries, after getting the first commission, are probably either sent to the woman's belly or thrown on the casino table, they are so drunk and hurried, often half an hour later, they will be stripped naked and thrown out, as for whether they freeze to death or not, it can only depend on their own creation.

When I entered the main gate, I saw two rows of golden statues holding swords lined up on both sides, and Qixia looked at it fun, so he couldn't help asking: "Is this pure gold?" ”

But a crisp female voice could be heard replying, "It's just gilded, and the guests come with me." ”

Zhou Xi looked at it, but it was a girl wearing only a bright red rhombus belly pocket, who looked no more than thirteen or fourteen years old, standing in front of the two of them coldly and making a blessing.

The two drunks followed the girl all the way to the side hall to exchange chips, Qixia grabbed the gold leaf grass from the leather bag, didn't count it, and spread it on the counter, and loudly asked the counter to change it all for him, Zhou Xi shuddered and took out a silver horn, just wanted to ask the front desk to change all the copper chips for him, but was opened by Qixia, and reached out and took out a handful from his leather bag unreasonably.

"Give...... To give...... My brother also changed. ”

Even if Zhou Xi is drunk, he is distressed to death, he lives on subsistence allowance in Ye Ye Academy, I don't know how long he hasn't contacted his family, private money has always been very tight, and finally this time he made some extra money, but he was so ruined by the boss, if he was an ordinary person, he would definitely fight with him in a rage.

However, this boss has accumulated a lot of power, and Zhou Xi did not dare to rebel at all.

The front desk is not surprising, quickly put the chips of the two people into the suitcase, handed it to the girl who brought them, commanded, the girl carried the suitcase and continued to lead the way, this way through a flower hall, to the hall with a thick bear skin curtain, the girl then coldly made a blessing, and gently put the suitcase in the open space in front of the two people: "The two masters, please come in, Qianqiao will not accompany you." ”

"Why don't you come with us?" Qixia snorted wine and didn't look at the suitcase on the ground, but looked at the girl in front of him with a smile.

The girl only wears a belly pocket, her long legs and thin arms are all exposed, her skin is as white as snow, and her flesh and bones are evenly stopped.

But the girl who was dressed like this, but her expression was always cold, and she couldn't see how much sycophancy she had for the guests, but she was disgusted with the drunken guests, and she couldn't see it from this face at all, she seemed to have entertained a lot of drinkers, and knew that she couldn't blindly contradict it, so she lowered her head slightly to show her obedience, and replied lightly: "The rules in the workshop, the welcome girl can't enter the inner hall." ”

"The rules are set by people, and the guests want you to accompany them, can you enter?"

"If the customer pays an extra commission, of course, it can." The girl replied lightly: "But Qianqiao is too straightforward and has never liked guests, so it's better not to enter." ”

Qixia smiled, strode forward, stretched out his hand to grab the girl's soft wattle, grabbed a handful of gold leaf grass from his pocket, and slapped it on the girl's palm: "Uncle has money, are these enough." ”

Most of the girls who work in this kind of casino, in addition to the low-level girls who are greedy for money and do not want to be completely depraved, there are also family difficulties and rely on high salaries to subsidize the family with the consent of their parents.

In addition to these two, there is a third type, that is, parents or guardians who accumulate gambling debts and are unable to repay them, and are forced to sell their children to casinos.

Qixia originally just wanted to play the role of a vulgar drunken gambler realistically, but unexpectedly, the girl took a step back lightly, and the gold coins in her hand fell to the ground with a bang, so she squatted down and picked them up one by one, with a quiet and dignified expression.

"Now." The girl squatted on the ground and said softly: "The guest is drunk, and there are some things that should not be said." ”

"When I was young, I had a little strength and ability, so I relied on mischief, thinking that the sky was falling and there were tall people on top, but when it really collapsed and fell on my head, it was too late to regret it."

"It's also the rule of the workshop, even if the guest gives more money, if the guest doesn't want to, he can refuse, and the guest doesn't look like those adults who can make Qianqiao kneel down and make you a cow and horse, so Qianqiao advises the guest."

"Money and things outside the body, but the family has to rely on these things outside the body to support the family."
