Text Chapter 88 Scenery of the North City
There are rules in the north city that you can't drive horses or get into cars, but there are many special stables outside the city, of course, these are free, and only in them can you guarantee the life of your horse.
At first, Xiuyue didn't understand that if the city was very large, it would be inconvenient at that time, but now she found that she was too worried.
Although Beicheng is called a city, it is obvious that Beicheng has not reached the scale of a city at all, it is only the size of three Rongfu, the city wall is very high, and there are many black-clothed people standing on it, everyone's sword is shining outside, and it is a little dazzling under the refraction of the sun.
Rong Zhao sent the things to the stables on the side, only took two kettles, and handed them to Xiuyue, then smiled: "This time, your use of force has arrived." ”
Hearing the sarcasm in Rong Zhao's words, Xiu Yue snorted coldly, took the kettle, and the two walked towards the city gate.
There were people at the city gate to check whether they were carrying anything, but everyone was holding a lot of signs in their hands, and there was a large box on the ground, with two people on each side, a total of four people, and the clothes they wore were also red, orange, yellow and green.
Rong Zhao walked up to the man in orange clothes and put a piece of gold directly into the box in front of the man, and Xiu Yue saw that the box was actually full of gold, silver and jewelry.
The man glanced at the gold that Rong Zhao threw in, then took out a jade plate from the brand in his hand, handed it to Rong Zhao, and said, "Tianzi." ”
Rong Zhao nodded and took it, and walked in with Xiuyue.
The series of processes was too fast, Xiu Yue had been in a state of stunned, walked into Beicheng, just reacted, and before he had time to look at the jade plate in Rong Zhao's hand, when he looked up, he saw another shocking picture.
Maybe the outer city wall is too high, so you can't see the scenery inside, but as soon as you walk in, Xiuyue found the doorway, the main road of the entire north city is distinct, and it is far away in front of the city gate, almost on the other side of the city, there is a palace-like building, high and majestic, covering the north city, hooked and oblique eaves, chic and square.
Not only that, but the most eye-catching thing is that in the four corners of this city, there is a long sword hanging respectively, and the color of the long sword is also red, orange, yellow and green, the long sword shines with different colors of light under the sun, and then converges in the center of the entire palace, forming a mysterious and mysterious picture.
Xiu Yue couldn't help but exclaim, "It's really spectacular. ”
Rong Zhao smiled and hugged Xiuyue's waist and said with a smile: "That's the Beicheng Exchange." ”
Although Xiuyue was amazed by such a scene, she reacted quickly, feeling the body temperature transmitted from Rong Zhao's body, she couldn't help but move to avoid it.
Rong Zhao tightened his arms even harder, and said in his ear: "In the northern city, if you are a single woman, it is easy to be coveted. ”
Hearing Rong Zhao say this, Xiu Yue noticed some ill-intentioned men around her. Considering that her current body couldn't bear to fight another tough battle, Xiuyue had no choice but to bow her head and obey.
Rong Zhao seems to be very familiar with Beicheng, and naturally walks with Xiuyue Statue, except for the avenue in the middle, the rest of the places in Beicheng are small roads, not only that, but also twists and turns, and Xiuyue is already dizzy for the first time.
But Xiuyue had already noticed something different, where they had just walked, all the buildings would have a red mark on them, but since they crossed a wider road, all the buildings had turned orange again.
Rong Zhao walked to the door of a shop with a solid orange flag at the door, this shop looked very shabby, small curled up in some luxurious restaurants around, if it was the only thing that was more attractive, that is, which flag was planted at the door.
There was a person sitting in the shop, the man was hunched on his back, looking very old and weak, Rong Zhao walked in, took out the jade plate, and looked at the man: "Tianzihao." ”
The old man, who had been hiding behind the shop and looked like he was dead, finally burst out with some brilliance when he heard these words, looked up at Rong Zhao, and then stared at Xiu Yue behind him with scrutinizing eyes for a moment before he came over and took the jade plaque back, opened the curtain and walked inside.
I only heard the sound of rummaging through the cabinets, and when the old man came out again, he took not only a wooden card in his hand, but also a key.
The man didn't say a word, handed the two things directly to Rong Zhao, pointed in a direction, and then sat back in his chair, squinting his eyes back to his half-dead appearance.
Xiu Yue also knew that now in Beicheng, there were places where Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was everywhere, so she had been staying behind Rong Zhao and watching quietly, waiting to get out of this shop, she was finally curious and couldn't help but snatch the jade plate from Rong Zhao's hand and put it in her hand to look at it carefully.
When Xiu Yue took out the jade card, suddenly, Xiu Yue felt a strong gaze coming from the restaurant in the distance, almost instinctively, Xiu Yue turned sideways and wanted to flash, but one arm had already instantly hugged her and turned over.
At the same time, a chair fell from the sky and landed where Xiu Yue had just stood.
Xiu Yue looked up angrily, the person above the restaurant just now was already gone.
She was a little angry, she shook off Rong Zhao's hand and rubbed her waist, but she didn't say anything, if it was convenient for Rong Zhao to make a move in this case, she must have made a move a long time ago.
The current Xiuyue didn't realize that she had completely trusted Rong Zhao.
Xiu Yue put away the jade card, what happened just now may have been caused by the jade card, and on the next road, she was even more cautious.
After walking for a while, the two walked to the door of a small courtyard, like a courtyard courtyard, very chic, with a big lock hanging on the door, but they had already slept so much that they couldn't see the patterns on it clearly.
Rong Zhao took out the key that the old man handed him at that time, and opened the courtyard door very easily.
Walking into the courtyard and closing the door, Xiu Yue sat on the stone bench in the courtyard as if she was dejected, and sighed: "It was really a disaster from heaven just now. ”
Rong Zhao knew that she already had a stomach full of questions to ask, so she didn't play tricks, smiled and took a sip of the tea on the table, and said: "This Beicheng is divided into four families, which are red, orange, yellow and green, when you enter Beicheng, you can choose a family as a shelter, over the years, the four major families have fought a lot of open and secret battles every year, but the inside is still consistent with the outside." ”
Xiu Yue nodded, no wonder the four people standing at the door looked at the atmosphere wrong.
"Why did we choose orange?" She knew it had to be arranged.
Rong Zhao smiled and raised the jade card in his hand, put it on the table, and said, "Because of orange, we can live in Tianzihao." ”
"So......" Xiuyue heard a little doorway.
Rong Zhao nodded: "But the Tianzi size is not the highest." In Orange Town, there are third-class, second-class, first-class, and Tianzi. ”
Speaking of this, Rong Zhao didn't continue to speak, Xiuyue originally listened to it with relish, and couldn't help but wonder: "Then isn't this Tianzi number the highest level?" As he spoke, he turned his hands around and gestured to the yard he was carrying now.
Rong Zhao smiled: "Because there is one of the tallest, which is the Orange Palace." ”
"What is this?" Sounds awesome.
There are only two such people, one of them will live in Orange Town, and the remaining one will live directly in the Orange Palace of the Exchange when they enter the North City, the two of them are one and the other, and because the identity of the main owner is too special, there can be no mistakes, therefore, the exchange is the safest place. ”
He continued: "That person should also be a person from Tianzihao, Tianzihao itself has only five seats, and because of the identity of these people, many times, the fight between them, as long as it is not too excessive, Beicheng is unwilling to interfere, so just now that person fell off the stool, it was just a provocation."
After hearing this, Xiu Yue nodded, and her tone was a little regretful: "I don't know what the hell is going on in that Orange Palace?" "After all, now what I live in with Rong is just a Tianzi room, but it has reached this point of elegance, although the courtyard is small, all kinds of delicate objects are very pleasing to the eye.
Rong Zhao on the side heard Xiuyue's sigh, a faint smile rose at the corner of his mouth, he looked at the exchange in the distance, he didn't tell Xiuyue that the reason why the orange palace had been empty was because he was the owner there.
Rong Zhao lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, his current identity is still too sensitive, if it is directly exposed, Xiu Yue and himself in front of him will never survive.
The two of them came to Beicheng after a tiring journey, and the trade fair was tonight, while it was still early, they ate some dry food prepared in this food box at will, of course, Xiuyue also dared to eat it after testing drugs one by one.
After eating, Rong Zhao took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms on time, which contained a small black pill, Xiu Yue just thought that she didn't need to take medicine, and she was secretly happy in her heart, but she didn't expect to be hit directly, she frowned and picked up the pill, and swallowed it in her mouth in one go, the bitterness still made her frown tightly.
Rong Zhao looked at her painful expression, and finally said, "This is the last one." ”
Xiuyue sighed, pulling the corners of her mouth to reveal a smile that was more ugly than crying.
In order to prepare for the auction at night, Xiuyue and Rong Zhao randomly picked a room and went to sleep.
Xiu Yue was really a little tired, although she had been in the car, but her body itself had not recovered, but she still cautiously pasted talisman paper at the door of her and Rong Zhao, in case something happened, she would have a good response.
Rong Zhao also showed tiredness, and the two walked into the house, and after a while, they both fell asleep.
At the same time, a man also walked into the North City, the man was only one person, although everyone in the North City was vigilant, but he looked at everyone with a smile, he took the same jade plate, walked into the Red Town, and at the gate of the Red Town, an old man bent down to greet him, and finally slowly invited him into the innermost place in the entire Red Town.
As it darkened, the man placed the jade plaque on the table.
He chuckled, "The show begins." ”
