It was noisy over there, and I don't know how many people were going to be burned today, just for the white fluff that was quietly spreading. On the other side, three riders rode through the streets and alleys, and after a moment's effort, they were already far away from the place of right and wrong.

"Palin, it looks like you're very familiar with this fort, oh, if I can call it a castle, it's much better than those castles in Europe, is it true that in reality, you've ever been here?"

The sturdy rider was no longer silent at this time, and asked in a deep voice: "No, even if you have come here in reality, it will be hundreds of years later, and it is impossible for you to know what is in this castle in this trial shijie." ”

The rider in the middle responded: "I have not been here in reality, I only know from the geographical location that this fortress has the sea on one side and the mountains hundreds of meters high on the other. It's just that before I came here, I had asked a lot of soldiers in the border army with the help of Dongchang, and I had seen some detailed Kanyu, so I sketched a rough three-dimensional image in my mind. ”

“KANRUI？ What is that? It sounds like a kind of food, but it's hard to imagine that the Chinese people can also conceive a map when they eat it. ”

"SHUT UP, STUPID BROTHER, I'M SO ASHAMED OF YOUR STATEMENT, PARIN IS TALKING ABOUT KARUN, WHICH IS A TYPE OF PORCELAIN, WHICH CAN BE PAINTED ON PORCELAIN, AND IT IS VERY VALUABLE."

The rider in the middle, named Parin, smiled wryly, took off his hood, and said, "Alright, well, don't argue about this, the first thing we need to do now is to leave this fortress as soon as possible." Go to the tunzi that Luo Rong just said. ”

“TUNZI。 So what? I just know that Chinese people have a variety of ways to eat. Or is that one you're talking about a place to eat? It's really a good choice. You know, we've been sitting on the horse for 24 hours, and those sandwiches are nowhere near enough for my calorie burn, and I need to find something to eat. ”

"Don't keep talking to my demented brother, he'll pull you into the abyss of dementia as you Orientals say, and then, oh. What is it used for? ”

"Beat me with his rich experience," Xiao Yan smiled bitterly and said, "Well, I must say that Tunzi is not familiar to me either, I can only think that this is a place like a village, but what the situation is, I don't know." ”

"Palin, I need to figure out one thing, you said we were going after that demon, right? You also said that the latter ones are powerful. Uh, you call the gentleman's man. It's also about chasing down demons. So, please tell me, weishenme we will be constantly hunted down by these people? That's right, hunt and kill, I can see that, they have the idea of killing us in their heads. ”

Xiao Yan smiled and said, "Calisto, we must find a way to rush to the demon's side instead of circling around the periphery. ”

"It doesn't seem to have anything to do with them chasing us."

"Yes, Calristo, we must be hunted down, and we must make the demon and its men believe us that we are indeed under great threat, and give us a chance to reach the demon."

"But they don't have to be so urgent, and sometimes, it's enough to put on a show."

Xiao Yan frowned, shook his head and said, "We must be serious, if they don't really regard us as enemies, then not sometimes, but all the time, they will appear lax, and they will be easily recognized by the demon and its subordinates." ”

Looking at the female rider, Xiao Yan continued: "Don't underestimate the demons, Calisto, be cautious in the face of every enemy in front of you, their strength and cunning may far exceed your imagination. And demons are more powerful than we can comprehend, and any ambiguity in this kind of thing can end up being the source of our failure. ”

The female rider was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "How likely do you think we are to kill that demon?" ”

"I don't know, Calisto, I don't know, I don't know who that demon is, how can I know how to deal with that guy, the gentleman behind is very clear, but he seems to have scruples, who knows what's going on?"

"Yan Ling," said the strong man on the other side, that is, Laikaon, suddenly, "I remember that there is a saying in the East that once a person's name is called, that person will have a sense, and the smaller the limit of the name, the more intense the sense, and this sense has nothing to do with distance. It is said that this is related to a certain creature, which is also known as the spirit of speech, and the more powerful the ability, the stronger the understanding and mastery of the spirit of speech, so many powerful beings can immediately know what the other person said after someone calls him by his name. ”

Xiao Yan said: "It sounds like you know that someone thinks about you when you sneeze, but this is the first time I've heard of Yan Ling's statement, if according to this statement, if there are 10,000 people saying my name, then I will be annoyed to death." ”

"Words and spirits are also related to the speaker's abilities, you and I call one legend by name, and one legend calls another legend's name, which brings a completely different level of induction. So, Palin, when you reach the advanced awakened level and really come into contact with the spirit of words, it is still those powerful awakened people and creatures that can give you the greatest induction. Ordinary people calling you by your name will not affect you, except for your closest relatives, of course. ”

"It sounds like this falls within the scope of occultism, if there is that kind of creature, then the scientific knowledge of this shijie will have to be overturned and reinvented, I mean the real shijie."

Speaking of this, Laikaon also took off his hood and said, "Oh, I can't say that, the existence of the Tree of Parin, Shijie is enough to overturn all scientific knowledge, and I am also referring to the reality Shijie." ”

Xiao Yan nodded, and was about to speak, when the three horses didn't know when they had left the alley and walked onto the trail in Shanhaiguan City. Compared to the muddy alleys, the trails here are noticeably wider, and there are already some rocks looming on the ground. Although this kind of road surface is not very comfortable, it can at least ensure that in rainy and snowy weather, the grain logistics will not be stopped due to the influence of the weather, and those horse-drawn carriages and people will not end up blocking the traffic in the city because of the muddy road.

Xiao Yan glanced left and right, the left and right sides of this trail were some low houses, there were no stones, and the earthen walls seemed to have been repeatedly rammed, or rather, another layer of walls was enclosed on the outside of the original earthen wall, and in this way, it became a sandwich biscuit and slowly expanded the thickness of the wall.

The choice of this method is mostly related to the coastal sea of Shanhaiguan, where the humidity and rainfall are much more than those in the interior, and ordinary earthen walls cannot be preserved for long in such an environment, and they have to be thickened on both sides of the wall every few years. As for building materials such as bluestone, they have not yet become too popular, or rather, these hard materials have been collected by the border army as equipment for defending the city.

It is already early summer in the capital, but here it is still only a sign of early spring, the branches of the trees on the roadside are full of green shoots, new leaves have not yet grown, and there are only a few birds flying around the treetops. The houses on the side of the road have not yet been opened, and the gates are closed one by one, as if they are guarding against something, and as for the pedestrians on the street, there are even fewer of them, and there are more soldiers dressed in military costumes, who are walking on the street somewhat unscrupulously, and they still curse and scold from time to time, and they don't see any soldiers.

Xiao Yan knew that the military discipline was corrupt at the end of the Ming Dynasty, but he didn't expect it to be corrupted to such a point, these soldiers didn't look like they were defending the country at all, but more like a group of robbers and ruffians, the so-called soldiers and ruffians were probably talking about these people.

By now, Xiao Yan basically understood who those tightly closed doors were guarding against.

If Xiao Yan was not surprised by such a scene, then Laikaweng, who was accustomed to seeing the majestic and neat actions of Dongchang in the capital, and thought that it was equivalent to the true appearance of all the armies in the entire Huaxia, was very surprised. He looked around at these soldiers and asked in a low voice, "Hey, Palin, are we in the Ming Empire?" weishenme These soldiers are completely different from what I imagined? I mean, shouldn't they be, oh, more disciplined, more imposing? ”

"If you are unarmed and have a lot of wealth on you, they will become very imposing in an instant, as for military discipline," Xiao Yan shook his head helplessly when he said this: "Don't compare the situation of the modern army with the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. ”

As the three of them spoke, they asked the horses they were riding to speed up, and the walk through the streets seemed to make them take a shortcut, but in the condition of the road, the delay was not much less than that of a long walk.

Although those ruffians were scattered and a little arrogant, they still took the initiative to get out of the way when they saw Xiao Yan and them riding by. To say that these soldiers are also a little blind, although Xiao Yan and they only ride one horse, but these horses are in very good condition, and they are not the kind of half-starved and half-fed horses in the army at all.

In this era, there were no Haode horse farm resources, and in the Ming Dynasty, it was already a difficult thing to have a horse like Xiao Yan's, and it was not just a matter of spending money to maintain such a horse so well.

Not to mention anything else, the well-fed horses have to run for a period of time every day to maintain a good state, and there must be special groom training, feeding, and all kinds of expenses add up, and only those dignitaries in the capital can have such horses. As for those rich people, they don't want to have horses of this age. (To be continued......)
