Wancheng is not big, estimated by the length of the city wall, it is only about seven or eight square kilometers, even if it is not based on the real city, the scale is really not grand, compared to the few cities that Xiao Lang has seen in the game, such as Xin'an City and Duhu City, the difference is far, far away, just like the difference between Kyoto and Gaojiazhuang.

And this gap is not only reflected in the scale of the city, entering Wancheng, Xiao Lang obviously felt that the ventilation in the city was not smooth, in literary terms, the city was filled with the atmosphere of pastoral life, in popular terms, Xiao Lang at this time, it was like entering the standard room of eight people in the university men's dormitory, except for boys, cockroaches, and flies, there were basically no creatures alive.

If it weren't for the fact that there was more or less spirituality in their eyes, if it weren't for Xiao Lang having seen what the civilians in Xin'an City were like, Xiao Lang would have thought that the artists of [Second Heaven] were lazy, so that these NPCs didn't look like living "people".

Go to the center of the city, there are a few wooden two-story buildings, but they have nothing to do with the word "magnificent", but compared with Wancheng, these two-story buildings can indeed be called spectacular.

The captain led the way very measured, and kept about five meters in front of Xiao Lang, Xiao Lang deliberately tried, if his pace slowed down, then his pace also slowed down, if he sped up a little speed, then he also sped up his pace, and he didn't have to look back at himself at all during the period.

Xiao Lang understood that the rough work of leading the way would definitely not require a lieutenant-level officer, but since Jia Xu arranged it like this, Xiao Lang had no right to object.

The captain is at least a middle-level officer in the battlefield of the Three Kingdoms, and under Zhang Xiu, who has not many good generals, he can't be regarded as a high-level officer, although Xiao Lang is not curious why it is not the Wuding-level NPC who was originally responsible for issuing tasks to players to personally lead the way, but he originally wanted to get some news from the captain.

Even if it is impossible to understand the general trend of the world through the mouth of Captain Renyong, it should not be a problem to at least understand Wancheng.

However, looking at this very "measured" captain, Xiao Lang gave up the idea of coming forward to talk.

Bypassing the center of the city, he came to the North District, and in front of a compound, the captain stopped and said to Xiao Lang: "Strong man, please come in." ”

After speaking, he turned his head and returned the same way, without any intention of being polite to Xiao Lang, just on routine business.

Xiao Lang arched his hand at the back of the captain, which was regarded as a thank you, as for whether the other party could see it or not, it was not Xiao Lang's concern.

Turning his head to look at the quiet but not deep courtyard, there is no sign on the lintel such as "Jia Fu", and there is not even a janitor at the door, it is difficult to imagine that this is where Jia Xu lives or works.

However, considering Zhang Xiu's current external troubles and Jia Xu's character, this is actually not difficult to understand.

Xiao Lang walked into the courtyard, and after three steps around a small poor vegetable garden, he saw that the door of the main hall was open, and there was already a player, kneeling there, leisurely sipping tea.

If it weren't for Xiao Lang knowing him, and his excessively young face didn't look like an indigenous, just looking at his clothes, demeanor, demeanor, and actions, Xiao Lang would probably think that he was the main person of this trip, Jia Xu Jia Wenhe.

The average player, who will use the kneeling method? Even Xiao Lang, if he hadn't looked at the sitting posture of the carriage and horses, it is estimated that he would have directly chosen to sit on the ground.

As soon as Xiao Lang entered the main hall, he saw a young man dressed as a servant holding tea, placing it in front of him, and said to himself: "Mr. is discussing in the inner room, and I ask the strong man to wait for the time being." ”

After speaking, he saluted Xiao Lang before turning around and leaving.

Xiao Lang picked up the tea, took a sip gently, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and then put down the teacup.

The chariot and horse on the other side, who had already begun to look at Xiao Lang, saw him move like this, so he said, "Aren't you disappointed?" ”

"Firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar tea, the ancients opened the door to the seven vulgar things, this tea is not as delicate as the wine, it is normal, not to mention disappointment." Xiao Lang responded.

"Hehe, interesting, although the seven things that open the door are only said in the Song Dynasty," Che Ma Xiang smiled: "You are right, in the eyes of the ancients, tea is a vulgar thing, and drinking is an elegant thing." And it seems that the designer of [Second Heaven] is not illiterate, knowing that this tea drinking was just emerging in the Han Dynasty, and it is not very exquisite, nor is it too exquisite, compared to the red-robed Longjing in later generations, I don't know how much. ”

After Che Ma Xiang finished speaking, he took another sip of tea, and saw that Xiao Lang didn't mean to speak, before he continued: "Although I already know the answer, I still have to ask if Brother Xiao has any thoughts of joining my Snow Shadow Palace." ”

"I have a contract, so I don't have an idea." In the face of the carriage and horses, Xiao Lang did not say perfunctory words such as "I am used to it", but directly explained the reason.

Although the contract of [Second Heaven] is a bit of a deed of sale, Xiao Lang actually does not reject it from the bottom of his heart, after all, the job is the job he likes, and the salary is good enough, Xiao Lang really can't find a reason to "jump the nest".

"I see." Che Ma Xiang didn't ask Xiao Lang which contract he signed with, and for him, knowing that Xiao Lang was indeed not a simple casual person, this was enough.

Then he turned to say: "This time in the battle with Xuchang, the most eye-catching force is my Snow Shadow Palace, but this is meaningless, even if it fails, it will not fall into the name of the Snow Shadow Palace, nor will it endanger our influence in Wancheng." But when it comes to the most eye-catching person, it is you, Brother Xiao, if it weren't for you, the outcome of this battle would be unpredictable. ”

Che Ma Xiang passed on the news from the moment he saw Xiao Lang, because he understood what it meant for a scattered person to be summoned by Jia Xu.

Although Xiao Lang is not a scattered person in the strict sense, everyone knows that Xiao Lang at this time is actually a scattered person who has no home and no belonging, especially the reason why he was able to get Jia Xu's summons this time was not because he had any power behind him, but because of himself.

And Che Ma Xiang also understood that if it weren't for the Snow Shadow Palace behind him, if it weren't for this battle that made Jia Xu look at him, he was afraid that this military advisor would not have been able to summon him so quickly.

This is the gap between him and Xiao Lang.

Xiao Lang listened to the compliments of the carriage and horses, his face did not show any expression, he was still so flat, and responded: "Actually, in this battle, with or without me, the outcome has already been decided." ”
