Chapter 123: Dressed up

"The people of Sijon?"

As the sun set, washing away the bloodstains, Ying Baoyue, who was sitting on the steps of a separate courtyard of the Tang Dynasty royal family in Ruyang City, raised her head when she heard the words, and looked at Song Qian, who was standing beside her with her hands, "You said that Xirong people...... Living on West Main Street? ”

"That's right." Another young man's clear voice came from a distance, Ying Baoyue raised her head, and saw Jiang Yuanyuan, who had come to Ruyang City with Song Qian one step ahead of her, crossing the threshold.

"Second Highness," Song Qian straightened up and saluted him, "Have you heard the news?" ”

Jiang Yuanyuan nodded, and the next moment he looked at Ying Baoyue who was sitting on the steps, "What about them?" ”

"I'm tired after running all night," Ying Baoyue said with a smile, "Song Jizi went to sleep after dividing the room." ”

She pointed to an elegant room to the west behind her, "If you want to find Sumire, she lives in this room." ”

"Who said they were looking for her!" Jiang Yuanyuan almost jumped up like a cat that had been trampled on, and was about to have a seizure but frowned and looked at the person in front of him, "Then why don't you go to sleep?" ”

Ji Jiashu They ran all night, but this woman should have been running for her life longer, right? Even if it was him, if it weren't for Song Qian asking him to inquire about the news from the Southern Chu people in Ruyang City, he would be eager to get on the couch and sleep for three days and three nights.

"I've taken a nap at the city gate," Ying Baoyue squinted and laughed, "I want to find out the situation in the city first, otherwise I won't be able to sleep." ”

Those who were able to slump in front of the Son of God and the king at the gates of the city now say that they cannot sleep......

Jiang Yuanyuan looked speechlessly at the woman in front of him who had changed into a white dress, and with a white complexion that was about to float to the sky, "Then you go to sleep quickly after listening, otherwise you will really burn your body, and I can't explain to Chunhua." ”

Although he didn't know why he wanted to explain to Ji Jiashu, Ying Baoyue nodded when she heard this, "Well, tell me what you have heard." ”

"Actually, you don't need to ask," Jiang Yuanyuan sighed, "You came in from the West Gate, but you took the East Street, right?" If you were walking on West Main Street, you just have to cross West Main Street to understand. ”

Ruyang, the capital of Soochow sits in the north and faces south, the layout is like a chessboard, there are two most prosperous streets on both sides of the central axis, leading to the two largest gates, respectively called East Street and West Street, these two streets also have the two largest bazaars in Soochow, the East Market and the West Market.

"I received news from our Zhongtang merchants before," Song Qian looked at the letterhead in his hand, "Recently, the West Market has been completely out of business. ”

"Of course," Jiang Yuanyuan sighed, "there are almost no people on the entire West Street. ”

When he was young, he once came to Soochow with his father, the king. Soochow is close to the southeast coast, a land of great wealth, and he remembers that when he first came to Ruyang as a child, he was shocked by the bustling streets of Ruyang City.

Among them, especially in the west of Ruyang City, because there is a west market in the west of the city, and the trade in the west market is extremely prosperous, there are many envoys from other countries living here, and there are many merchants from various regions from overseas who live in the neighborhood near the west market, the west of Ruyang City is jokingly called "the place where the rich gather", and the city has always had the situation of "rich in the east and rich in the west".

Jiang Yuanyuan still remembered that there were people of all colors and countless novelties on the whole street, and children could simply linger when they plunged into it.

But when he stepped on the bustling West Street in his memory again after five years, he felt as if he had come to the wrong place.

The autumn wind blew through the empty street, and Jiang Yuanyuan was dumbfounded.

Obviously, cultivators from all over the world who came to participate in the mid-level ceremony arrived one after another, and the city of Ruyang should have been more lively, but the West Street, which was originally noisy with cars and horses, was as quiet as an ancient temple. All the shops on the side of the street have their doors on the panels, the doors are closed, not to mention the merchants, there are not even people on the roadside. Occasionally, a few pedestrians passed by, all of them curled their hands and feet and hid their hats in their hats, as if they were afraid that something on the side of the road would drag them in and eat.

"Is this serious?" Listening to Jiang Yuanyuan's narration, Song Qian's brows furrowed into a knot, "I watched it when I passed through the east of the city today, but it was quite lively. ”

"That's everyone crowded to the east of the city," Jiang Yuanyuan looked around at the surrounding mansions and sighed, "I heard that all the restaurants and inns in the east of the city are full now, and only some of the cultivators who are masters of the five arts dare to live in the west of the city, and they are all a minority." ”

"That's really fortunate that Song Jizi has such a mansion," Ying Baoyue said with a smile, "Save us from fire and water." ”

Jiang Yuanyuan's eyes widened, is this girl's focus here?

But the next moment, he saw the girl sitting on the steps change her words and said lightly, "What kind of flood beast is there in the west of the city that makes cultivators avoid it?" ”

But this question is not asked, and I have already guessed seventy-seven-eighty-eight.

The prosperity of the western part of the city was due to foreign merchants, and the Soochow royal family also built a separate residence for foreign envoys in the western part of the city.

"It's not all because of that King of Eastern Wu," Jiang Yuanyuan said coldly, "The Xirong people suddenly appeared in Ruyang City, not only did he not expel them, but also arranged for those people to live in the envoy's pavilion in the west of the city. ”

"Those wolf cubs really live in a big way, robbing the vendors' things every day!" The young man of Nanchu snorted, "Envoy? What kind of envoys are they! ”

The Shanhai Continent has experienced hundreds of years of war, and the last inland dynasty was destroyed by Rong Di. In the eyes of the people of the six countries within the Great Wall, the Xijon people are all devils who eat human flesh, and if they live, who would dare to take a step closer to the west of the city?

"Do you think the king of Eastern Wu doesn't want to expel him?" Ying Baoyue looked at her fingertips, and the next moment she remembered something, her eyes flashed, "You said the envoy pavilion?" ”

She remembered that in front of the city gate, Zhao Duren said that the national teacher would take Xu Canghai and the disciples of the Northern Han Pavilion to the other pavilion to settle down, so the people of the Northern Han Pavilion were also arranged to live in the west of the city?

Song Qian also reacted, "It seems that the people of the Northern Han Pavilion have also been arranged to live there. However, there are many other museums there, and they are all vacant now, so I guess I can't meet them. ”

"It's wonderful to meet," Jiang Yuanyuan sneered, "The Northern Wei Dynasty and the Xirong people fight every day across the Great Wall, so it's the first time they've met each other in person." ”

"With the Son of God here, the people of Xirong don't dare to make a mistake," Ying Baoyue said lightly, "The king of Dongwu did this, it is estimated that he has his intentions, and the people of Xirong can also settle down a little." ”

"Anfen?" Jiang Yuanyuan's eyes widened, "What do those wolf cubs know?" You don't know, there was a lot of discussion among pedestrians on my way, and I heard that these people were going to attend the Great Pilgrimage Meeting in seven days, what was the Great Pilgrimage Meeting for? They are worthy of it! ”

"Uh......" However, after he said this, he didn't expect the girl in front of him to show a confused look and look up at him, "What is the Great Dynasty Meeting?" ”

"You don't know?" Jiang Yuanyuan almost fell.

"Could it be the same as the banquet under the grass, where cultivators need to fight?" Ying Baoyue asked.

"How is it possible," Jiang Yuanyuan raised his forehead, "You are the leader, how could you not know that the Great Dynasty will ......?"

Why do cultivators have to participate in the Beginner Ceremony even if they have sharpened their heads? Isn't it all about improving one's realm and becoming an immortal official, Guangzong, and the ancestor?

And the biggest reward for the winner of the beginner ceremony is at the Great Pilgrimage.

"Before the start of each mid-level ceremony, a ceremony must be held to reward the cultivators who can participate in the mid-level ceremony, especially the leader and the top three," Jiang Yuanyuan looked at Ying Baoyue and said solemnly, "Everyone must dress up to attend and worship ......."

The young man's expression became awe-inspiring, and he spoke word by word.

"Taizu Codex."

Legend holds the secret of the promotion of high-level cultivators.

The codex left by Emperor Taizu and Emperor Ying.
