Text Chapter 12 The town guards the general
All the way to the night fast horses, Nian Xun four people and three horses stopped under a city wall, and saw the three big red characters of 'Mahuai Town' from a distance, carved in the center of the city tower that could not be seen in front of him.
During this day's and night's journey, Nian Xun also learned a lot of useful information from Nian Jianchen.
This city is called the West Border City, which belongs to an outer city in the westernmost part of the Eastern Holy Country, and how big the inner area is, Nian Jianchen can't tell clearly, he only said that the 'Fengyang Town' where the single Nian clan stays will take several days to travel, and like this kind of town, there are as many as eight in the border city.
There are seven town guards under the border city lord, and they guard the remaining seven towns except for the border city lord, and the guards of each town manage their own territories, and the current 'Fengyang Town' is a territory under the jurisdiction of the Nian clan.
At this moment, just after the end of the day, the sky is still cloudy, and the city wall is even more foggy, and the scene is hazy.
The crowd arrived at the city gate, and the city gate under the towering city wall of more than 30 zhang high in Mahuai Town was closed. The five soldiers in black light armor stationed at the station outside the city didn't know if it was because it was too early to wake up, or because they didn't close their eyes all night last night, and they were all listless.
One of the soldiers walked out of it, the man's voice was a little hoarse, but his face was very white and tender, and he saw that it was the period of vigorous life, and shouted to stop everyone: "Stop coming, show the seal of entering the town." ”
The middle-aged strong man stopped his horse when he heard the sound, and the same was true for the people and horses behind him, and skillfully took out a seal from his arms, signaling the armor in front of him to come close to verify his identity.
The armor soldier walked out, took it into his hand and looked at it carefully for a long time, and then gestured to the person behind him.
The other soldier then walked towards the city gate, only to see that there was a ventilation opening less than half a foot high above the city gate, but it was narrow enough to allow cats to pass through.
The man reached out and lifted the mouth of the passage and said a few words into the mouth.
'Crunch...' and the gates opened from within, opening up a space for several people to come out in parallel.
The armorer with the seal in his hand hurriedly urged, "Hurry up." ”
The strong man didn't say much, but withdrew the seal from the hand of the armor soldier and led the people into the city.
Soon after the crowd entered the city, a group of armor soldiers made another concerted effort on the left and right sides, and closed the heavy city gate.
There was another 'crunch' sound at the city gate!
The gates are closed!
The five armor soldiers outside the city gate said in their mouths: "This group of people is real, the people from Fengyang Town also came to our Mahuai Town to enter the city, and they are early in the morning." ”
"Whatever, as long as there is no problem with their identity print, it is right to let them go, and more is better than less. One of the people next to him chuckled.
"Yes, anyway, there will be no ghosts coming in and out every day, so we should give our brothers activities, otherwise this hand will have to be the same as this day, and it will not be able to freeze straight. The other interjected, rubbing his hands together.
After entering Mahuai Town, the four people of Nian Xun, under the arrangement of the middle-aged strong man, quickly found a restaurant in the neighborhood to move in first.
This restaurant is not as good as the five-star standard they were in Fengyang Town, but fortunately, it is close to the neighborhood, and it is the best choice for everyone at the moment.
At this moment, it was already the hour, and people had begun to sit at the table in the restaurant, and the sound of staggered cups and plates came one after another.
Sometimes there are constant scolding, and sometimes there are exclamations, so it is not vulgar.
The four of them also gathered in this mortal dust, listening to the strange stories of the north and south of the earth, and after hastily eating breakfast, they each went back to the room they booked to rest, and several people made an appointment to meet at noon.
"Those stories really dare to make up, the stories of Nian Lao are bizarre enough. Nian Xun sat alone in the room and secretly thought of the strange things of everyone at the table, and his body didn't feel the slightest tiredness at all.
With the improvement of his star, Nian Xun discovered the problems of his body at the same time.
His mental power has surpassed ordinary people, and when other people's mental power reaches the warning line, he needs to rest, and his mental power may not be enough to meet the requirements of the cordon, this phenomenon will be more obvious in the future with the improvement of the star, until one day, he may reach the point where he does not have to sleep for a long time.
Today's unintentional sleep is probably due to the fact that I haven't used the star method since last night and now.
Nian Xun didn't think much about it, and began to sink down to comprehend the star power, so as to make up for yesterday's shortcomings.
The master said that others may be able to point out one or two points to the improvement of the star, but the most important thing is to rely on one's own perception.
People have different abilities to perceive, faster or slower.
Those who can make breakthroughs before they run out of vitality are the strong.
The biggest enemy of star ascension is time!
For this reason, he had to make up for the unfinished goal of yesterday, and maybe he would miss it with this world in just a second.
Today, I don't know if it's an illusion, and it's difficult for Nian Xun to quickly enter the state.
After a simple perception of star power, the harvest is basically still in place. Nian Xun also lost interest for the time being.
At this moment, I felt sleepy, and my mental strength began to be anxious, so I fell asleep with my head covered after lying down. This sleep is at noon, if it weren't for the middle-aged strong man who couldn't rest assured, let Nian Jian come to call the door in the morning, and I don't know when Nian Xun would sleep and wake up naturally.
He had a long dream, but when he opened his eyes, he almost forgot about it, and when he got up, he forgot about it, and when he walked out the door, the things in the dream were no longer important.
In the middle-aged man's room, everyone was eating a hearty lunch. Nian Xun realized that the taste of the food in the big city that the master used to say was salty, spicy, sweet, and sour, which was very different from the tasteless breakfast in the morning.
Before Fan Zhuo, Nian Jianchen said what he thought in his heart while eating: "Second uncle, why do we want to enter the city from Mahuai Town this time? You must know that Mahuai Town and Fengyang Town are one in the east and the other in the west, and the two places are separated by hundreds of miles, so it takes a few more days to travel out. ”
The strong man, who was called the second uncle by the young man, said: "You can rest here tonight, and we will go to a place before we set off early tomorrow morning." ”
Knowing what the second uncle meant, Nian Jianliu was naturally very excited: "Second uncle, you must want to stay with yourself for a few more days." The food brought was also sweeter, humming a little song in his mouth, and looking proud at Nian Jianchen.
After lunch, Nian Xun hurried back to the room.
Remembering the unusual thing that had happened when he felt the star power this morning, he had to confirm it.
Just as he was about to calm down and take a look at the star power again, he was interrupted by Nian Jianchen outside the door.
'Knock!' he kept knocking on the door of Nian Xun.
It turned out that she came to tell Nian Xun that the little woman in Nian Jianliu was in a panic in the afternoon and wanted to go out for a walk, and asked if she wanted to join them.
Nian Xun didn't think about it, so he planned to reject it. I still have something to confirm in the afternoon, but when I think back to the scene at lunchtime, even if the master has mentioned things on the mainland, I still don't know anything about the things in the big city, so it's better to go out with them to see it.
At that time, returning to the Nian clan will not disgrace the old man.
"Anyway, if you don't go out with her, you should be better with Nian Jianchen. Nian Xun thought to himself.
When Nian Xun and Jian Chen came to the room on the first floor, Nian Jian Liu had been standing impatiently downstairs for a long time, and strangely, Nian Xun beside her did not find the figure of the middle-aged man.
It stands to reason that the strong man could not let a few of them move alone, and the young beasts were always only in the cave, unless they had the ability to protect themselves.
"Could it be...... There is also hidden star power among them?" After getting along, Nian Xun only sensed star power fluctuations on Dahan.
As for the two of them, Nian Xun was not sure.
In Nian Xun's heart, his impressions of the Four Poles Continent all come from what Master Cui Yan said.
Compared to the disasters brought by demon beasts to the humans of the Four Poles Continent, the strength of the Star Warrior is even more incalculable.
There is a group of people among them, ignoring the agreement between the star warriors of various countries, wantonly killing and destroying the people of the Four Poles Continent, this evil behavior has long replaced the current demon beast disaster, and has been rewarded by the countries of the Four Poles Continent in the disaster order.
The two of them walked blindly along the nearby street with Nian Jianliu, and there were many pedestrians on this street, and there was no sense of danger after losing the protection of the mother beast as they imagined.
There are also many different shops on both sides of the street, which are placed with many strange things that he has never encountered before, Nian Jianchen said that those things are women's things, and the builder takes the skull of the demon beast to create it, and the quality of the creation depends entirely on the age of the demon beast after death, it is said that the bones of the newborn demon beast are crystal clear and valuable.
Sure enough, Nian Jianliu had a soft spot for one of the hairpins, and even if he looked at it with Nian Xun's eyes, that hairpin was unique in the surrounding ornaments.
"Although I like it, it's a pity that the strong man is not here at this time, but he can't afford to buy it. Nian Xun probably guessed when he looked at her.
Sure enough, Nian Jianliu could only watch as the glimmering hairpin was bought for three purple crystal coins.
When everyone walked out of the store, Nian Jianliu's mood was still immersed in the hairpin, and he couldn't calm down for a long time. I don't know if it's because I'm in a hurry or I'm just in a low mood, I don't seem to be in much of a mood to go shopping, so I returned to the restaurant early.
As soon as everyone arrived, they saw that the strong man had been sitting downstairs drinking himself for a long time.
Early in the morning of the second day.
After a night's rest, both brothers and sisters got up early, because of yesterday's strong man's explanation.
The two walked out of the room at the same time, and when they passed by Nianxun's room, they found that the door of Nianxun's room had not been opened until now, and they knew at a glance that they had slept late last night and had not woken up.
"Fourth brother, let's go, let's go see if the second uncle is up. The girl looked like she didn't care about him, and took Jian Chen and walked towards the second uncle's room.
"Sister Liu, don't you know our main purpose this time?" Halfway through, Nian Jianchen shook his head and said.
"What do you mean?" Nian Jianliu really didn't understand very clearly.
Jian Chen reminded her: "Yesterday, the second uncle didn't agree to let you out, didn't you let him go in the end?
"I'll go find the second uncle. Hearing this, Nian Jianchen ran away in a puff of smoke.
The two rushed to the second uncle's room and found that the door was locked. Knowing that the second uncle was very likely to be downstairs at this time, he walked downstairs, and finally saw the strong man downstairs in the restaurant.
"Second uncle, didn't you say yesterday that you would take us to a new place? Let's go now. Nian Jianliu looked at the strong man and said hopefully.
"Have you found it?" the strong man replied.
"When we came out, the door was still closed, and he hadn't gotten out of bed yet. Jian Chen said truthfully on the side, not false at all.
"Don't worry, let's go together when he wakes up. The strong man spoke.
"What?" Nian Jianliu looked at Nian Jianchen as if he couldn't be trusted.
Knock, knock, knock!
Nian Jianliu, who stepped on the anger, came to Nian Xun's door, and slapped his hands towards the small claws of the door frame one after another, while saying, "Open the door, open the door..."
There was a lazy sound from inside the door!
"Who's going to be so early in the morning... Ahh
Nian Xun was bored in his heart, it was already very late after a few people came back last night and realized the star power, what were you doing early in the morning?
And the moment he opened the door, he saw an angry woman standing outside his door pointing at him, wondering how he could not be angry.
What's more, the opposite is a woman who doesn't have a good face for herself all the way, and I don't know when I got into trouble with her.
"What are you doing here?" Nian Xun looked at the girl with disgust, and said weakly.
Nian Jianliu pointed to Nian Xun's black face and asked, "Second Uncle said last night that we should rest early, you are fine, and you are still lying on the bedside?"
After Nian Xun saw her appearance clearly, he suddenly woke up a lot, and asked rhetorically: "I don't remember that I said that I would go together, you are going to go by yourself, you go to yours, don't worry about me." ”
Bang!
The door was closed.
"You..."
"You..."
Nian Jianliu you, you and you for a long time, and you can't say why: "You have to go, we are waiting for you downstairs." After leaving a sentence, he turned around and ran downstairs.
Today is really unlucky, a good sleep was disturbed by this crazy woman, and suddenly I miss the free life in Gulan Village, and no one bothered me at that time.
But when I thought about the "we" that the woman said at the end, I could only cheer up and rush downstairs: "Don't be really us!" thought to himself.
When he came downstairs, he found that sure enough, the strong man and Nian Jianchen were waiting for him there.
This made him feel embarrassed: "Which one is obviously unlucky, am I okay?" Nian Xunxin sighed, and said in surprise: "Uncle, why haven't you left Jian Chen yet?"
Jian Chen said with a smile at Nian Xun: "We are leaving, but Liu Mei has to say that she will not leave until you come down together, and we have to wait for you here." ”
Hearing Nian Jianchen's nonsense, the girl let out a cold snort on the side and didn't explain.
secretly said in his heart: "I won't worry about you this time." ”
"Nian Jianchen's words, I didn't want to believe it when I killed Nian Xun, I just said that they were delayed by something, and it was also convenient to come by the way. He immediately turned his head to the strong man and asked, "Uncle, where are we going today?"
"Ma Huai Town, Four Seas Chamber of Commerce!" the strong man said.
