Chapter 281: Ying County, I'm Coming
Immediately, Brother Hao's eyes rolled and he counted on his heart. Pretending to be casual and asked, "Jiajia, let's travel for a few days, what do you think?" ”
"Yes, yes!" Guo Jiajia raised her hands and feet in approval.
A conspiracy is brewing
…………
SX Province. TY City.
A domineering man in black casual clothes stood in the hall, and two girls in the back, one with a white scarf on his face, and the other with a pair of large sunglasses that could cover half of his face.
"Haohao, why don't you go to Sanya? Why not go to Hawaii? What are you doing here? The woman in sunglasses said.
"You are so stupid to ask this question, you see that Zhihua didn't ask this question," the casual man smiled.
"Haohao, actually, I don't know, I'm just embarrassed to ask you more." The scarf girl said weakly.
"Huh!" For those who forcibly demolish the stage, it is not easy for casual men to say anything, "Since you are here, there is a reason to come here, you can follow me with peace of mind." ”
The three of them are Brother Hao, who enjoys the blessings of all people, the violent woman Guo Jiajia, and the cold-faced sister Wang Zhihua.
On the way out of the airport, there were a lot of onlookers. Looking at the figures of the two women and the lips when they speak, they are silently obscene!
The three of them rented a luxury hotel at random and began a multi-day tour.
Brother Hao said, "TY is known as the treasure land of Dragon City, and there have been many awesome people here in history, from emperors and queens, princes and nobles to Jin merchants who have gone all over the world, leaving countless historical relics. TY's famous scenic spots are mainly concentrated in Jinyuan District in the southwest of the city and Yingze District in the city center. There is a Jin Ancestral Hall with the spiritual veins of the Tang Dynasty buried here; There are the largest existing Taoist grottoes of the Yuan Dynasty in China - Longshan Grottoes; The "Twin Towers in the Sky" of Yongzuo Temple has long been praised and has become a symbol of TY. There are many more relics waiting to be discovered. As a transit station for SX tourism, TY is heading to the ancient city of Pingyao and Qiaojia Compound in the south. Or the Yungang Grottoes and Wutai Mountain in the north. All pass through here......"

In the evening, several people returned to the hotel, and in a few days, the three of them browsed more than 50 scenic spots, and finally the entire SX tourist attractions were almost visited.
"Haohao, are we going back?" Guo Jiajia has been traveling in the past few days, and she has seen such a majestic atmosphere, antique but modern atmosphere of various scenic spots, and her heart has calmed down a lot. Leaving now, she really sighed.
“NO! NO! NO! Brother Hao pulled up his English: "We still have a scenic spot that we haven't got!" ”
Brother Hao still came here for a purpose: first of all, of course, to run in the relationship between Jiajia and Zhihua on the road, of course, more importantly, he wants to come and see, Yingxian! By the way, let's see if I can take some back.
