Chapter 85: Cold Light City
A few hundred zhang away, halfway up the mountain opposite the martial arts courtyard.
A huge ancient tree, the leaves were quietly removed, and the fierce man picked the meat crumbs between his teeth, feeling that the meat in the Central Plains was a few grades worse than the Western Regions, and the meat was rough and not fresh.
He quietly looked at the movement at the entrance of the martial arts academy, looked at the portrait in his hand, and looked at the group at the gate of the martial arts courtyard, and could be sure that the man in the middle who was saying goodbye to a girl was Qin Tian.
The girl seemed to insist on accompanying her, Qin Tian insisted, and finally took the two of them away on a horse, the girl stomped her feet hatefully, and helplessly led the horse back to school.
The man took the portrait and put on his mask again.
He couldn't think of why the Hu family in Rong County would give 120,000 taels of silver, thousands of miles away, and asked him to take action from the Western Regions, but what he killed was just a rookie of the eighth order of the wrestler.
This deal, how to think about it.
It is said that Qin Tian has a helper, and he is a martial artist at the peak of the Second Realm, but after observing for so long, he has not found anyone following behind Qin Tian.
Perhaps, the Jia family in Rongxian County is not afraid of Qin Tian, but of the peak of the Second Realm behind Qin Tian.
It's a tour.
The fierce man was about to come down from the tree, but he saw a white horse galloping out of the martial arts courtyard and heading in the direction of Qin Tian.
Look at the dress, it's a martial artist in the martial arts academy.
The fierce man remembered Liu Gui's words, and when he carried out the task of capturing a martial artist in the first realm, the students would have a teacher of a martial artist in the second realm to protect him secretly.
Presumably, this is the teacher.
The martial artist of the second realm, compared to the blood killer of my third realm, is not a slap to death?
The fierce man easily jumped to the ground.
However, I won't kill the teacher, the Tianxia Martial Arts Academy is a family, and if I kill a teacher, maybe the entire ancient Han Kingdom will want me, and I can't give up my life for the silver.
......
On the way, Qin Tian, Zhu Jian, and Fan Dongjin were talking and laughing, and their expressions were relaxed.
Fan Dongjin is honest, and he can't make a fart with three stuffy sticks, but Zhu Jian is a bit like a chatterbox, and he is talking about this thing all the way.
Qin Tian still likes Fan Dongjin more, he is somewhat similar to his own personality, he likes to do it, and he doesn't like to say much.
And Zhu Jian's personality is diametrically opposite, in addition to talking a lot, he is also very clever.
Clever is a bit like Rong'er, but it's only less than half as good as Rong'er.
"Team Leader Qin, the destination of this mission is Cold Light City, two hundred miles away. It's a bit of a long way. ”
"But you're a thousand-mile horse, it will only take half a day to arrive, our two horses, it's too far away from you, team leader, you walk leisurely, my family is not as rich as your family, tired of the horse, scolded by my father. ”
"Team leader, Rong'er should be allowed to come along, she is as beautiful as a flower, let the brothers raise their eyes, and fight more energetically. ”
Fan Dongjin held back a sentence: "Are you cheap, dare to beat the idea of Team Leader Qin's woman?"
"I have a few lives. Okay, don't talk about this, talk about the task. After taking this order, the members of the other five groups were straight-eyed, and they admired our team leader, did they dare to accept it?"
"Li Wuxing, Liu Gui, and Yang Ziwu's faces are as gloomy as the bottom of the pot, and they can't finish it if they don't finish it, just looking at our courage to take on the task, it scares their gall. ”
Qin Tian snorted: "Come on, don't blow it, and review the information of the mission again." ”
"Hey, Team Leader Qin, listen up. Target Name: Stone Pillar. I said that his father and mother are really trouble-free, and they are so sincere in naming them, and they dare to start whatever they see, and the stone pillar at the door is not as much as a cow's hair. ”
"This has some origins, 35 years old this year, a fourth-order martial artist in a realm, skilled in tactics, proficient in all kinds of martial arts, in the army when he was young, rich combat experience, carrying a high-level weapon of the yellow order, Dean Yi asked us to be especially careful of his weapons, it is said that this is a weapon master. ”
"Fan Dongjin, don't interrupt, isn't what I'm talking about to the point? The target has three murders, all of them are first-realm martial artists, all of them are fighting martial arts to death, and one of them is still a third-order of the first realm. ”
"This man is aggressive, combative, and scheming. Three months ago, he fled to the Cold Light City to live in seclusion, and it has been more than two months since the Yamen issued the bounty task, and no one dared to accept it. If you don't arrest it, maybe one day the fugitive will be gone. But I'm also curious, obviously there are three realm martial artists in Cold Light City, why don't you arrest them?"
Qin Tian smiled: "Cold Light City is not simple, it is a paradise for adventurers, a paradise for the rich, and a paradise for the martial arts powerhouse. There are too many cases of martial artists in the second realm, there are as many martial artists in the third realm as dogs, and there are no other people in the fourth realm and five realms. ”
Hanguang City, located on the riverside of the abandoned river, is surrounded by mountains, and the terrain is extremely steep.
It is several times larger than Jiangbei Prefecture, with hundreds of thousands of people.
The reason why it is said to be a paradise for adventurers is because it is the core of the legendary storm, and the range of hundreds of miles up and down the abandoned river may be the Dragon Palace millions of years ago.
Originally, Hanguang City was located in a remote and dangerous terrain, and it was a place that no one patronized, and there were only a few hundred mountain people who relied on hunting and fishing for a living.
In recent decades, when the news of the Western Heavenly Grottoes of the Longluo Empire leaked, well-informed people began to reorganize the myths, and then some people began to set foot in the Cold Light City to explore the secrets of the Dragon Palace.
Legend has it that someone did find mysterious treasures from the riverside and mountains near Coldlight City, and those who found these things all disappeared without a trace overnight.
No one knows what kind of treasure it is, but judging from the rapid disappearance of the warriors, it is very likely to be the legacy of the previous round of civilization, such as exercises, weapons, etc.
Of course, more people died in the battle in Cold Light City, and because of this, there were many cases in Cold Light City, and the Yamen didn't bother to care about cases like a martial artist in a realm.
In the afternoon.
The three of them rushed to the city of cold light.
Sure enough, it is prosperous and outstanding, there are several commercial streets, and all kinds of shops are dotted on both sides, and the shouts resounded throughout the four fields.
The pedestrians on the street were dressed in different clothes, many carrying weapons and swords, and they were full of energy.
In the realm of martial artists, it can only be regarded as a weak existence here.
Hanguang City is built according to the river, north of the mountain, in the form of narrow and long, the length of more than ten miles.
Every few miles, a wharf is built, and five riverside wharves form a channel of communication between the city and the outside world, and ships are dotted around.
Swimming against the current, the boat moves slowly, and many people will choose another mode of transportation.
Now, Qin Tian and the others stood on the side of the street facing the river, looking at the scene of the nearest wharf, a few warriors passed by them, came to the riverside, lit a special fragrance of pillar incense, and sacrificed a few pieces of bacon.
After a while, the water by the river was splashing and the waves were discharged.
A huge giant turtle poked its head out of the water, closed its eyes, and greedily sniffed the incense.
"Negative Jiang!" Zhu Jian shouted curiously.
There are also negative rivers in Jiangbei Prefecture, but there are not many, and they are only on the riverside of the state city, and the Aoshan Town, where the first martial arts institute is located, is still some distance away from the river, and it is not common.
The warrior threw the bacon into the giant turtle's mouth, picked up the new pieces on the bamboo pole, slowly stepped on the turtle's back, and picked the bamboo pole in front of the giant turtle. A warrior holding a pillar of incense stands at the front of the turtle's back.
The giant turtle rowed out a wave, carrying four people to break the wave and go upstream, at an extremely fast speed.
"Sure enough, it is a prosperous place, much more lively than our Jiangbei Prefecture!" Fan Dongjin sighed.
Zhu Jian pointed to the other side: "Look over there." ”
A building ship rumbled from the sky and slowly landed in the open space by the dock, while another building ship in the open space took off and quickly sailed in the direction of the Longluo Empire.
After a while, there were many more ships coming from the direction of the Longluo Empire, the capital of the ancient Han Kingdom, and the southwestern countries.
Jiangbei Prefecture also has building boats, but only through the ancient Han capital, every three days, only the rich can afford to ride.
Giant turtle too, don't look at a few pieces of bacon, but it is a special meat, the price is high, a journey of more than ten miles, at least a dozen taels of bacon and pillar incense worth of silver, not ordinary people can afford to consume.
