Chapter 235: Gathering of Storms (1/2)
Room.
In the upper reaches of the Fushui River, there is a city called Kan Ancient City.
Since ancient times, it has been a battleground for soldiers, and since then, it has often been the subject of war.
However, the most powerful thing about the Terrans is that no matter how much suffering and trauma they have encountered, they will slowly heal with the passage of time.
The wildfires are inexhaustible, the spring breeze blows and grows, and now the ancient city of Kan is prosperous again.
Even, because Changguo and Jing have not been at war for almost 20 years, this city located at the border of Changguo now seems peaceful and open.
On the 11th day of the first lunar month, the spring cold is precipitous, and in the early morning, the sky is full of silk rain and falls directly into the necks of those waiting outside the city gate, freezing so that people shrink their necks and pull their noses.
When the time came, as the bells rang the hour, the sound of squeaky pulleys came from inside the gate of the originally quiet ancient city of Kan, and then, the gate of ironwood slowly opened, and soldiers wearing armor came out of the gate and stood on both sides of the gate.
The ancient city of Kan has a moat, and the river water is brought by the nearby water, and this project is still repaired by the Yan Kingdom of the previous dynasty. Today, the country of Yan has long since died, but the moat still has water flowing. It's just that the drawbridges on the city gates on all sides have rarely been pulled up because they have been lowered for a long time, and the moss and vines on them have been connected to the ground, almost indistinguishable from each other.
As soon as the gates were opened, all sorts of vendors and pawns swarmed up, and after a simple check by the soldiers at the gate, they passed. The creaking of carts, the neighing of horses, the trampling of pack beasts, the shouts of soldiers, and the singing of civilians sounded one after another, and the morning sun fell into the city.
She was wearing a blue-gray cloth dress and a black oil-paper umbrella, and when she came to the gate of the bridge, she took out two copper plates and handed them to the soldiers at the door.
The soldier took the money, but saw that her skin was fair and delicate, and her fingers were slender and beautiful, and he couldn't help but look up at her.
This look almost wiped out the soldier's soul.
"Too ...... It's beautiful......" he muttered to himself.
By the time the man came to his senses, the woman with the black paper umbrella had already left.
As soon as he came back to his senses, two more people came in front of him.
The first was a very tall man, wearing a straw hat, but under the hat was a messy long hair, and his clothes were casual and even a little sloppy. However, this man has two long swords on his back, and he is not easy to mess with at first glance.
Behind him, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl followed.
The girl was plainly dressed, one might even say poor, and her hair was pinned with a hairpin on her head, and there were no other ornaments. But she was very clean, carrying a cloth bag, and hurriedly followed the adult man in front of her with small steps.
The man couldn't pay the toll in his pocket for a while, then turned back to the girl and said, "Xiaoqiu, you take two copper plates out." ”
"Hey."
The girl named Xiaoqiu answered, counted two copper plates out of the cloth bag, and handed them to the man, who in turn gave them to the soldiers guarding the door.
The soldier looked at this girl, and she was actually a beauty, although not as beautiful as the one just now. If you really want to say it, it can be said that it is holy and immaculate, like a god and a man descending to earth, and it is cold and not easy to approach. This is the beauty of the world, and it looks gentle, as amiable as the girl next door.
He was thinking about it, but the tall man snorted heavily, and then left with Xiaoqiu.
The sound of a heavy snort pierced the soldier's ears, and his eardrums buzzed for a moment, so that he couldn't help but hold his head and scream a few times. It was a long time before he came back to his senses under the puzzled gaze of his companion, and the buzzing in his ears gradually subsided.
What happened just now? The soldiers were only inexplicably afraid.
……
Finale frowned slightly, along the way, there were always people staring at her, and even people following her.
Is there anything inappropriate about her dress? This dress, including the oil-paper umbrella, was prepared for her by Xiao Ke. At that time, the plane took her to a secret base on the Terran side, where she took off the official uniform of the Prime Minister of the Demon Realm and changed into the civilian clothes commonly used by Terran women, and then Xiao Ke said that it was raining outside, and gave her an umbrella commonly used by civilians, and she was ready to stop before coming out.
Now, the map of the ancient city of Kan is displayed in her consciousness, although there is no positioning and pathfinding function, but with her ability, she will naturally not go the wrong way.
The place where Huang Shui made an appointment with her was a large restaurant in the east of the ancient city of Kan, Jiutian Tower.
As the junction of the north and the south, the big city on the border, the ancient city of Kan is now full of shops, small merchants and hawkers are also all over the streets and alleys, citizens, people rushing to the market, tourists, etc., are weaving back and forth, endlessly. It can be said that in terms of commercial prosperity, none of the surrounding cities can be compared with the ancient city of Kan.
The city's walls are still scarred, showing that there were frequent wars in the past, but now, because the two countries are not at war and the border is calm, it has become a lively place for cultural exchange between the two countries.
According to the instructions of the map, Zhongyin came to the east of the city, walked along the street for a while, and finally came to the Nine Heavens Tower. She took the umbrella and walked into the restaurant, and Xiao Er immediately came out to receive her warmly.
"The third floor, the chrysanthemum room."
After the final note reported the room number in the message of the millet water, Xiao Er's attitude became more polite, and he hurriedly led her upstairs.
"Guest officer, the room in the chrysanthemum room is booked, no one has come yet, please go in first and sit and wait, I will make you tea."
Xiao Er invited the final sound into the room, nodded and left.
Finale sat in the private room, as far as she could see, and she felt very novel. This elegant room is quite large, there are many utensils in it, there are coffee tables, there are wooden shelves, there are some porcelain or strange stones on it, there are clusters of delicate real flowers in the vase, and there is an incense case, which is lit with incense, exuding a fresh fragrance.
The chair she was sitting on now had soft cushions, and if you looked closely, the whole chair was carved out of a kind of black wood with gold thread, and there were various patterns of birds and beasts on it, and the carving was exquisite.
The whole elegant room is not like a restaurant, but like a quiet room of a rich man's family.
Finale came to the window, opened the curtains of the silk flower picking process, and looked out. This is the third floor, looking out, the surrounding scenery is in full view, below is the east street, not far away are some garden scenery, there are willow forests and ponds nearby, the scenery is very beautiful.
After waiting for half an hour, the millet water was too late.
