Chapter 400: Stone Chicken City
Standing at the foot of Black Mountain, Yuan Fan couldn't help but sigh that in such a beautiful place, there was a group of chaotic mountain bandits in the depths, what a waste of such a good scenery.
Walk another three or four kilometers east from Montenegro to Shiji City, which is the small county town where Tao Siniang's family is located.
This stone chicken city belongs to the border city, close to the empire, so although the city is small, the city wall is very high and thick, the average height is about ten meters, which is already very broad for a border city.
Yuan Fan has only seen the appearance of the city wall in the costume TV series, but the city wall in this "Soul Realm" is not exactly the same as he imagined.
The walls of Shiji City are not equal in height on all sides, but the side close to the enemy country is slightly higher, and the city walls are also full of potholes.
When Yuan Fan walked to the foot of Shiji City, he saw two rows of officers and soldiers at the gate of the city, checking the people who came and went. Because it is a small border town, there are not many people entering and exiting the door.
"It's time to feel the life of ancient times, although it is not from time travel, but I have also enjoyed the treatment of time travel, which is really cool!" Yuan Fan sighed with emotion, and walked towards the city gate.
"Stop! Say what about you! As soon as Yuan Fan was about to pass through the city gate, a soldier shouted sharply.
As soon as Yuan Fan turned around, a spear slammed in front of him, and the sunlight reflected by the sharpened tip of the spear pierced Yuan Fan's eyes.
"Don't get excited! Own! Yuan Fan shouted indiscriminately.
"Your own people?" I may have never seen such a strange speech, the soldiers on both sides of the city gate surrounded me, and one of them shouted: "Where is your guide?" ”
"Lu Yin?" Yuan Fan was stunned.
"Don't you?" The faces of the soldiers sank, if you want to enter the border city, you don't even have a road guide, is it possible...... Is it a spy?
It's also unlikely, if the spy is so stupid that he doesn't even prepare for the lead, then he can directly wipe his neck and commit suicide.
Yuan Fan couldn't help but be slightly nervous when he saw this posture. This nervousness, he suddenly remembered that when he came out of the cottage, a small minion handed him a thin booklet.
The words written on the cover of this booklet are simply ghost drawings, anyway, Yuan Fan doesn't know it, most of the words in it are traditional, Yuan Fan can still recognize some, probably his own name, where he was born, his home address or something.
Whatever it was, he took the booklet out.
As soon as they saw this pamphlet, the soldiers scattered with disappointed expressions. Now that they have a guide, they can't care if this person is a spy or not.
"If you have a guide, take it out early, it makes everyone nervous!" One of the remaining soldiers took Yuan Fan's booklet, flipped through it briefly and returned it to Yuan Fan, "Go in!" ”
Yuan Fan looked inexplicable, and he didn't know what these soldiers were excited about just now.
How did he know that this was a time of peace, and there was no war, which was a good thing, but it also made their lives boring. I thought that there was something that could break this ordinary life, but the result was empty "joy".
Although there was a small turmoil in the city, Yuan Fan felt as if he was more integrated into ancient times.
At this time, it was already afternoon, and the sun was about to set, Yuan Fan walked casually, and walked to a place like a small market.
Yuan Fan thought that he still had a task, and couldn't help but put away his heart of wandering. The King of the Mountain let him go back tomorrow to resume his life, if he didn't say anything, with the character of the King of the Mountain, he would definitely not give up, if he let others find out the news, Yuan Fan would not be able to use fake news to deceive these mountain bandits.
But although this Shiji City is a small city, it is not something that can be seen at a glance, in such a place, where can he go to find Tao Siniang's house?
He was about to find the shop on the side of the street and ask, when he heard a commotion behind him, and he didn't know why, but he saw that people began to walk in the direction of the noise in groups of threes and twos.
At this moment, the small wooden sign on Yuan Fan's waist shook.
He picked it up and saw that the back of the small wooden sign was no longer the content displayed in Juyingtang, but changed to eight words: loyalty, benevolence, bravery, and fearlessness.
"This is our people again?" Yuan Fan raised his head while thinking about who these eight words were describing.
Then he gasped, it was not easy to find one of the thirty or forty people in Juyingtang, and now there were no less than hundreds of ordinary people in this small market in Shiji City, and it was too difficult to find out the companions who had changed their appearance and didn't even know who they were.
Yuan Fan thought about it in his heart, and understood that these eight words should be about Xu Weichi, but it was too difficult to find at this time, so he simply didn't think about it first.
He grabbed a vendor with potatoes and asked, "Uncle, what are you going to do here?" ”
The middle-aged man looked Yuan Fan up and down and said, "Uncle? Do you want to make a face? You look like this, and you still call me uncle? ”
Yuan Fan smiled awkwardly, he forgot that he had changed his appearance, and at this time he should not be a few years younger than this man, and it was indeed a bit shabby to call the uncle.
"I'm sorry, big brother...... What happened earlier? Yuan Fan smiled embarrassedly.
The so-called stretching out his hand and not hitting the smiling person, Yuan Fan's attitude, the potato seller is not easy to say, only said: "I heard that the county master caught a strange demon in a strange costume, didn't everyone rush to see the excitement!" ”
Yuan Fan was interested, so he followed the big brother who sold potatoes all the way. This eldest brother's name is Chi Cheng, although he was concerned about Yuan Fan's name for him at first, but he is still relatively loyal. Yuan Fan was also sincere in getting close to him, and the two became familiar with each other after coming and going.
"Our county master, I don't like any Taoist priest or practice the most, and I don't know if I have been stimulated before, when it comes to 'Tao', a person who is very good on weekdays immediately seems to have lit a cannon battle." Chi Cheng said to Yuan Fan while running briskly.
Yuan Fan was not very interested in this county master, compared to this Fang Tu Emperor, he wanted to know more about the situation of Tao Siniang's family.
He opened his mouth and asked, "Brother Chi, do you know Tao Siniang?" ”
As soon as Chi Cheng heard this question, his loyal face suddenly danced.
"Little brother, are you from out of town?" He said, "If you want to say that we are the most beautiful in Shiji City, who doesn't know the four girls of the Tao family!" ”
"The four girls of the Tao family?" Yuan Fan repeated.
"Yes! She's about to marry Yan Xiucai from Linxian, ouch! Chi Cheng could pat his thigh and sigh when he ran away with the burden, "If you want me to say, why did she marry that lame showman!" It's really flowers stuck in cow dung! ”
Lame showman? Yuan Fan raised his eyebrows, and just as he was about to speak, he found that his surroundings had become crowded. It turned out that they had arrived on the main road of Shiji City, and the lively people had gathered, and a team of people was slowly marching forward from the south of the city.
And when he saw a few people in this team, Yuan Fan suddenly became calm.
