Chapter 10 The Kingdom of Yancheng
As the carriage drove, Qu Yan realized that this was not the way she came. She looked at Bai Jinyan and asked, "Senior brother, where are we going?" ”
Bai Jinyan smiled and replied, "Go to Yandu." If we take the usual path, the palace has no intention of sending someone to arrest us. Let's go this way, even if he sends someone to arrest us, he didn't expect us to go this way for a while, and we have more time. ”
"But here, it's dangerous." Qu Yan was a little worried. With her own strength, I'm afraid it will be difficult to return to the organization.
Bai Jinyan reached out and rubbed her head, "Don't worry, your senior brother and I are strong enough for us to return to the organization safe and sound, don't be afraid." A soft voice comforted.
Qu Yan nodded, she believed her senior brother, and didn't speak again.
The strength of the senior brother is undoubted, he may not be able to beat the palace, but he is also one of the best in the organization. Moreover, the senior brother never does things that he is not sure of.
Thinking like this, Qu Yan's heart became a little stable.
Then she began to think about the information she knew about Yandu.
Yandu is a city belonging to the country of Stygian. The terrain of the country is dangerous, and the climate is abnormal. Rumor has it that it is a cursed nation.
The country of Hades has been in darkness for a long time, and it is impossible to distinguish between day and night, especially like the legendary underworld, so it is called the country of Hades.
There is another characteristic of the country, and that is the army. The country's army is rumored to be ghosts of the underworld, and because of this rumor, coupled with rumors that the country is cursed, no country wants to offend the country of the underworld.
As a result, the kingdom of Hades has never been affected by the war. It's been very stable.
And Yandu, known as a ghost town, is a place that tens of millions of people don't want to come to.
Qu Yan knew that this place was full of dangers. There was a senior who took over the task about Yan Du before, but there was no return, which made Qu Yan have to be careful and careful.
"It's okay, little sister. Yan didn't have such an exaggeration as those rumors said. I've been there before, and for some reason, the sky is covered in dark clouds all year round, so I can't tell the difference between day and night. Because the people there can't get sunlight all year round, their skin is abnormally white, and they are rumored to be ghosts. The people there aren't really bad. ”
Bai Jinyan was still a little uneasy when she saw Qu Yan, remembered the rumors she had heard about Yan Du before, and explained helplessly.
Rumors are like this, and when they are spread, they become extremely outrageous. What a ghost town, it's just that life is too boring and I want to find something to talk about.
When Qu Yan heard him say this, he was completely relieved.
Since Senior Brother said so, then Yan Du is not the same as the rumors.
The carriage drove slowly, and gradually, it became dark. Qu Yan saw that the light in the car was dimming so quickly, so he opened the window and looked out.
She saw the sky split in two, half day and half night. There is a very clear dividing line in between.
This spectacle surprised Qu Yan very much, and it seemed that he was about to enter the territory of Yandu.
"Senior sister, we're coming. Yan Du because of rumors, except for the people of the Underworld Yan Kingdom, no people from other countries will come, and almost all of them are people who are rejected by other countries, they are a little abnormal, their temperament is also strange, and they are also very dangerous. So we are in Yandu, we must be careful. Don't anger any of them, or you'll be in trouble. Bai Jin Yan saw that he was about to reach his first destination, so he couldn't help but warn.
Qu Yan listened and nodded. If no one offends her, she will not provoke others for no reason. She was a little curious about what kind of abnormality Bai Jinyan was talking about.
The car drove all the way and finally listened at the gate of Yandu.
Qu Yan opened the car window curiously, looked out, and saw the word "Yandu" on the city wall, there was a kind of cold on the face, which made people a little creepy.
It seems that those rumors didn't come out of thin air!
Although the city gate was guarded, no one checked the entry and exit, and the carriage easily entered. Qu Yan felt a little curious, but didn't ask Bai Jinyan.
Yandu is obviously an abnormal city, the people inside are all closed, and there are not many people walking around the streets. All the hues inside are gray, white and black, there are no flowers and plants, and it is as quiet as a dead city.
Bai Jinyan saw that Qu Yan had been looking out, so he reached out and pulled her back and closed the window.
Qu Yan looked at him with some confusion. Bai Jinyan looked at Qu Yan with a serious face, and said, "Senior sister, look out less, if you want to know something, you can ask me." Don't behave too unusually here, you'll be expelled if you find out. ”
Because I haven't been in contact with the outside world for many years, people here are also resistant to new things. If outsiders come here and behave too differently, they will resist and be expelled.
Seeing Bai Jinyan so serious, Qu Yan couldn't help but nodded, and then An An stayed in the car and didn't look out anymore. Even if she really wanted to see the rumored city.
Bai Jinyan saw what Qu Yan was thinking at a glance, and she was a little helpless. He looked at Qu Yan dotingly, and said softly: "The people of Yandu are used to the night, and they don't like to change because they have lived like this since they were children. Anything new will make them repulse. ”
Qu Yan listened and nodded, this is the so-called misanthropy.
But after living in the dark for so long, my heart must yearn for the sun! Yearning and fear.
Suddenly, I felt that the people in this country were a little pitiful.
"Isn't the country very barren?" Qu Yan asked.
Bai Jinyan smiled and shook his head, "Far from being barren, the country is also very rich. There are a lot of gem mines in the country, and nearly half of the gems that come out are superb. Therefore, the country of Hades is the country where merchants of various countries love to trade, although the rumors are scary, but merchants have a lot of profits, even if they know that they may die, but for the sake of wealth, they will still deal with the country of Hades. Gradually, the country of Styl became very rich. ”
"Tsk, it's a typical thing to ask for money!" Qu Yan admired those businessmen a little. If you can't take that money away after you die, why do you earn so much? For the sake of money, you can even live without it, this is how much you love money!
Although she also loves money, it is obvious that life is more important.
Bai Jinyan couldn't help but chuckle, he felt that the little junior sister was simply too cute.
He stretched out his hand to look at the window, then closed it and said to Qu Yan, "We're coming." I made a good friend here, and we hung out with him for a few days. ”
Qu Yan nodded. She said that she was not familiar with the place here, and everything was subject to her brother's arrangement.
The carriage came to a slow stop. Bai Jinyan opened the car door, and after getting out of the car, he helped Qu Yan down.
Out of the room in front of them came a young man, dressed in a dark green brocade robe, with a half-gold mask covering his forehead, nose and left cheek, and his temperament was ancient and mysterious.
"Yahiko, this is my junior sister Qu Yan." Bai Jinyan introduced Qu Yan to the man, and then turned his head to introduce him to Qu Yan, "Little junior sister, this is Yahiko, the friend I made here." ”
Qu Yan listened to Bai Jinyan's introduction, nodded at Yahiko, smiled, and regarded it as a greeting.
Yahiko also nodded towards Qu Yan, and then looked at Bai Jinyan.
"Yahiko, my little sister and I are passing by here, can we bother you here for a few days?" Bai Jinyan asked with a smile. It is a comfortable tone.
Qu Yan knows what kind of person his senior brother is. Bai Jinyan is definitely the gentlest person she has ever seen. She had never seen Bai Jinyan get angry at her once, and every time she did something bad and pretended to be pitiful, Bai Jinyan reluctantly tapped her forehead and gave up.
From childhood to adulthood, Bai Jinyan is the person who favors her the most in the organization, even more than Master. And among so many senior brothers, she has the best relationship with Bai Jinyan, of course, because she and Bai Jinyan are in the same line.
Yahiko didn't speak, just nodded, and then turned and went into the house.
Bai Jinyan saw that he agreed, so he instructed the coachman to bring the carriage to the stable, and then went in with Qu Yan.
He said to Qu Yan as he walked, "Yahiko doesn't like to talk, but he is a good person. It's a bit weird, but as long as you don't anger his bottom line, he won't care about anything. ”
Qu Yan listened and nodded.
Yahiko brought Qu Yan and Bai Jinyan to the two rooms and spoke: "These two rooms, you are free. Then he went back to his room. He didn't come up with anything to entertain the guests, but he was really a weirdo.
Bai Jinyan seemed to have been used to it for a long time, he pointed to the room on the right and Qu Yan and said, "Little junior sister, you can live in this room." Want to bathe and talk to me. With him, you have to do whatever you want. ”
Qu Yan nodded, indicating that he already knew, so he went in with the baggage.
The bed had already been made, and Qu Yan lay directly on it and began to think. She always had an ominous premonition, and she felt that the road back to the organization would not be too smooth.
Gong Wuyi shouldn't have chased after him. Even if you chase them, you can't find them.
Thinking about it, Qu Yan was a little sleepy, so he took off his shoes and socks and fell asleep.
Bai Jinyan also slept in the same way. After running around for so long, I haven't had a good rest, and I'm already tired.
In another room, Yahiko stood in front of the window, looking into the distance.
He stretched out his hands and made an intricate knot. I don't know what he saw, and his brow furrowed. Then he waved his sleeve and continued to look at the dark sky.
The dark clouds in the sky were superimposed, and no light could penetrate them, so that Yan Du and the entire Underworld were immersed in darkness all the time. At the junction of the dark clouds and the sunny sky, it seemed that the dark clouds were almost pressing on the house, and it made people feel depressed and frightened.
"The clouds are mounting, and the catastrophe is coming. Now that person has appeared, but does it mean that there is still a glimmer of change? Yahiko muttered.
One more glance out the window, then turned and left.
