Chapter 69: First Entry into Dongzhou City
Dongzhou is the first line of defense in the direction of the royal capital, and the degree of prosperity is not inferior to that of the royal capital, where there are many rich and powerful rich squires, and more are mercenary groups.
Dongzhou is the line of defense, and the first point of attack in all wars is Dongzhou, even in peacetime, there are still many bandits here.
Their existence has led to the emergence of the mercenary group, but to say that the biggest force in Dongzhou still belongs to the beggar gang, these beggars sit on the side of the street all day long but do not accept anyone's alms, they seem to be idle but have strict discipline, and the leader of the beggar gang, Lai Qing, is also a bull in Dongzhou.
"Master, this is Dongzhou City" Lan Dao stood beside Jiang Pingchuan and looked at the gate of Dongzhou City with his arms crossed.
Dongzhou City is bustling and shouting, standing at the gate of the city, you can feel the liveliness of Dongzhou, sometimes there are some people at the door who go in and out with their heads down, these are the scattered cultivation of Dongzhou City.
However, they belong to the lowest level of casual cultivation, their strength is not good, they are not able to join the mercenary group, they are not regarded as having their own organization, and they are unwilling to join the beggar gang, so they become another type of wanderer in Dongzhou City.
"How far is it from the royal capital" Jiang Pingchuan walked towards Dongzhou City with steps, and asked Lan Dao beside him.
"This is Dongzhou, and if you want to reach the royal capital, you still need to go through two lines of defense, which are Yin Yang City and Stormwind City, and these three cities are the three lines of defense of the royal capital."
Lan Dao said and suddenly quickened his steps and walked towards the guard standing at the door, Jiang Pingchuan quickly pulled Lan Dao with a dirty face, Lan Dao turned his head to look at Jiang Pingchuan.
"What's wrong?"
Lan Dao was a little puzzled, in his opinion, this was Dongzhou, and it was already his own territory, but looking at Jiang Pingchuan's cautious appearance, Lan Dao still didn't go any further.
"You can't reveal your identity now, or you'll get into trouble and go around yourself"
Jiang Pingchuan glanced at the guard standing at the door and said lightly, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Lan Dao immediately squatting on the ground, grabbed a handful of dust and rubbed it on his face, stood up, and looked at Jiang Pingchuan.
"Master, do you look at my bear?"
Lan Dao looked at Jiang Pingchuan with an honest face, the bear looked like a bear, with a dirty black and white face, just like psoriasis.
"Don't call me master in the future" Jiang Pingchuan patted Yun Ma's neck, heard Yun Ma snort slightly and turned around and ran away.
"Master, then what do I call you" Lan Dao looked at Jiang Pingchuan with some grievances, this kid had a virtue with Jiang Pingchuan when he was a child, and he pretended to be aggrieved when he was unhappy.
"Call me Brother Chuan," Jiang Pingchuan looked at Lan Dao and smiled mysteriously.
"Master, no, Brother Chuan, why did you let the horse go" Lan Dao looked at Tingyun Horse and disappeared without even a horse's buttocks.
"It has its thing"
Jiang Pingchuan no longer paid attention to Lan Dao, and walked towards Dongzhou City, Lan Dao followed Jiang Pingchuan and drew a big question mark in his heart, he really didn't understand what else this horse could do, peeing? It's so troublesome to solve it on the spot.
"Lan Dao, what are you talking about, I haven't heard it in this Changfeng Continent, do you royal family talk like this?"
Jiang Pingchuan had a feeling of indescribability every time he heard Lan Dao's words, he had never heard such language.
"What the patriarch taught me, I didn't understand it at first, but I listened to it a lot, and I learned it when the patriarch nagged me in front of my sister every day," Lan Dao touched his head and said.
"Where did you learn this furball?"
Jiang Pingchuan Jiang Pingchuan smacked, there were many things on this hairball that he didn't understand, such as the old man called the hairball an adult, and the moment the hairball appeared was the peak strength of the early Yuanying.
It's just that I don't know how much strength the hairball can show in the Changfeng Continent, the hairball is no longer an ordinary wild cat in Jiang Pingchuan's heart, but a spirit beast full of mystery.
Jiang Pingchuan clearly remembered that when he was a child, the hairball was able to conjure up a crimson tiger with a burning body.
"I'm a hen with this"
Lan Dao shook his head and said, humming and chirping in his mouth to sing the tune of something apple, although it was quite rhythmic, it sounded very awkward to Jiang Pingchuan.
Looking at Lan Dao's behavior, Jiang Pingchuan felt that the hairballs he saw through Lan Dao felt unfamiliar, and these things hairballs had never shown in front of him.
"Stop talking nonsense, you don't talk when you enter the city"
Jiang Pingchuan saw that Lan Dao was still behind and hummed and shouted in self-absorption, Lan Dao nodded aggrievedly and honestly followed Jiang Pingchuan to Dongzhou City.
"Stop"
Jiang Pingchuan and Lan Dao were stopped by two guards at the gate as soon as they approached the city gate, Lan Dao did not react, but Jiang Pingchuan was stunned and had some bad premonitions in his heart.
"What, don't let me in?"
Jiang Pingchuan looked at the guards, the guards' hands were already on the hilt of the knife, the spear in his hand was slightly sideways, and the whole looked ready to attack, but the guards standing on the other side had greed in their eyes, without the slightest defense, and they were obviously singing double reeds.
"Dongzhou City has always been hospitable, but you want to"
The guards standing lazily on the other side rubbed their hands at Jiang Pingchuan, Jiang Pingchuan was a little stunned, he knew that it meant the guards.
It's just that he doesn't have any jade coins and other belongings in his body, but he didn't expect that when he first arrived in Dongzhou City, the Changfeng Continent, he once again deeply realized that it was difficult to move an inch without jade coins.
"Rub a J8, we don't have any money, let you think about it yourself, think about it, don't end up pulling and can't hold it yourself"
Lan Dao saw that Jiang Pingchuan was still hesitating, and felt a little irritable, how could his master and his grandfather be so different from each other.
Although the patriarch is not a human, but in Lan Dao's heart, the patriarch is much smarter than a person, and then he looks at his master, no matter how he looks at it, he is a little conservative.
"Yo yo yo, boy, your mouth stinks, then you don't go in"
The lazy guard glared at Lan Dao and sneered at the corners of his mouth, and the other guard took a step forward, puffed up his chest and pushed against Lan Dao, Lan Dao closed his mouth and looked like he was holding his breath, or he was too aggrieved.
"I'll go to your second uncle's"
Lan Dao punched the guard in the chest, the guard took a few steps back, threw away the spear in his hand, and with a bang, pulled out a sharp knife and pointed at Lan Dao, Jiang Pingchuan walked in front of Lan Dao and looked at the guard.
Although the situation in front of him is not big, if he makes a big fuss, his whereabouts with Lan Dao will definitely be exposed, and Lan Dao is now being hunted down, and if his identity is exposed, it will inevitably cause unnecessary trouble.
Jiang Pingchuan slowly clenched his fists, now he could only break into the city and hide quickly, the longer he stayed here, the more dangerous it became.
"Military master, military master, eliminate gas, eliminate gas"
Jiang Pingchuan's fist was quickly clenched from behind, and the man hurriedly ran to the lazy guard and stuffed something into the guard's chest, looking at the guard with a flattering look and smiling.
The guard glanced at the man faintly, touched his chest, and glanced at the guard with the sharp knife, the guard snorted coldly, withdrew the sharp knife, picked up the spear on the ground, and returned to his post.
"Boy, count yourself lucky, enter Dongzhou City and put your eyes on the bright spots"
The lazy guard looked at Jiang Pingchuan and straightened out his chest, it seemed that the man was stuffed with something that satisfied him, the guard returned to his post with a smile on his face, picked up the spear leaning against the wall, and stood still with a face and no longer looked at Jiang Pingchuan.
The person who came stretched out his sleeve to wipe the sweat on his forehead and looked at Jiang Pingchuan with a smile, Jiang Pingchuan noticed that the person who came was not a person like a casual cultivator, but just an ordinary person in Dongzhou City.
"Sifu, okay no"
The person who came looked at Jiang Pingchuan and just wanted to speak, but a deep voice came from behind Jiang Pingchuan, and the middle-aged man named Sifu in front of him was stunned and hurriedly ran to the back.
"Sir, it's all right"
Jiang Pingchuan turned to look behind him, there was a caravan, and a man with a bearded face was sitting on a horse and clinging to the carriage at the front of the caravan.
The carriage curtain was lifted by a middle-aged man full of wealth and said something to Sifu, Sifu nodded frequently and glanced at Jiang Pingchuan, and after the middle-aged man closed the curtain, Sifu ran towards Jiang Pingchuan.
"Little brother, my palace master wants to invite you to the house, look at this"
Sifu looked at Jiang Pingchuan and pointed to the carriage behind, Jiang Pingchuan nodded, Sifu made a gesture of invitation with a happy face, and took Jiang Pingchuan to the carriage.
"Master, the little brother is here" Sifu whispered to the carriage, and it could be seen that he was very respectful to the palace master in the carriage.
"Come up"
The palace master said hummingly, as if he was sleeping, Jiang Pingchuan turned his head and signaled to Lan Dao, and the two lifted the curtain and walked in.
Jiang Pingchuan sat in the carriage, Lan Dao sat down next to Jiang Pingchuan, and the palace master in the car closed his eyes and pretended to sleep and ignored Jiang Pingchuan and Lan Dao.
Jiang Pingchuan closed his eyes and leaned on the carriage, swaying slightly with the movement of the carriage, while Lan Dao looked at the palace master intently, not knowing what he was thinking.
Just looked at the palace master Mu Ran's face with a smile.
