Chapter 736: North City
I kept hurrying, and the meat on the inner thigh was ground well, and then it was worn out all the way to the border.
Beicheng, which is already the city closest to the border pass, is not rich but not barren at all, which is very different from the appearance of the yellow sand flying in the sky in Xia Yue's imagination.
Because of the perennial wars, the people are fierce, no matter the old man or the child, once they encounter war, they can come forward to kill the enemy with a knife.
Along the way, Xia Yue has seen too many lonely old people, women and children who have been displaced by the war, and their expressions are mainly numb and sad, as if the whole person has lost his spirit.
And there are also many people who have lost their relatives like this in Beicheng, but compared to the numb faces that Xia Yue saw before, most of the people here are high-spirited, and even children who have just learned to walk have begun to practice how to kill enemies.
made Xia Yue feel very deeply.
The war has caused too many people to lose the breadwinners of their families, and some people can't support it, so they can only choose to sell their sons and daughters, or remarry.
But the people of the northern city did their best to drive away the foreign enemy.
With this completely different choice, it is impossible to say which one is right and which is not.
It can only be said that beliefs are different, choices are different.
Xia Yue observed in the city for a while, and felt that although the people here were strong, the people were also simple, although they were not as prosperous as the capital, but the city here was also very orderly and had everything.
Because they hadn't found a suitable place to live for Ye Laogen and them to come out before, Xia Yue felt that this Beicheng was a good choice at this time.
Far away from the capital, and those people would never have thought that she would come here.
In fact, there are not a lot of people coming and going in a border important place like Beicheng, and there are too many people who want to make war money, which also leads to the prosperity of trade here.
There are also many businessmen who will settle properties here in order to rest.
Xia Yue first found a tooth shop to buy a yard, and originally wanted to find a small room in a low-key manner. Later, I thought about it, sometimes it's not good to be too low-key, and sometimes some things are not so eye-catching when exposed to the sun, so she made a request, asking that the house must be big, magnificent, with a good environment, and not bad money.
As soon as Yaxing heard Xia Yue say this, he was also very confident, and took her to see the house on the spot.
It is very much in line with the requirements of the summer moon, large and magnificent.
According to the people of Yahang, this was the residence of a general of the previous dynasty, and the general was later killed by the enemy because he lost the city gate, and the house was vacant.
There were also two owners before and after, but they were later sold at a low price because of the war.
Xia Yue followed the people of Yaxing to take a rough look, this mansion covers an area of at least ten acres, and all kinds of facilities are also available, except for the thick ash accumulated because of the long-term inhabitation, there is no other problem.
Xia Yue made a decision on the spot, and she was going to be here.
The money was settled on the spot, and the remaining little leader should be rewarded to the person in the tooth shop.
Because of this, the man was very grateful, and took the initiative to tell Xia Yue about the origin of the construction of this house, saying that the older generation said that the construction of the general's mansion was not only because the general wanted luxury and pleasure, but to save his life.
Xia Yue's heart moved slightly, so she asked what was going on.
The man said that he heard that the General's Mansion is divided into Yin and Yang Mansions, and the Yang Mansion refers to what everyone can see, and the Yin Mansion is the dark room and secret passage used for escape.
It was made by the most powerful craftsman in the world at that time, the Lan family, and it was not invaded by water and fire, even if it was not attacked. In order to prevent leaks, all the craftsmen were killed after the general's mansion was cast.
