Wanghai City has three city gates in the south, north and west, the city wall is 30 zhang high, and the city wall facing the sea in the east is better, 33 zhang high.

This city, which is far older than the five great dynasties in the world, looks majestic, like a sleeping ancient beast, bringing great coercion to people.

The sumptuous carriage stopped at the city gates.

The huge gates watched the carriages and monks entering the city for all eternity.

After Su Zhuo got out of the car, he looked at the city gate with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

Zhang Xingyuan followed the young man's gaze and said, "Although Wanghai City is within the territory of the Yonghui Dynasty, it is not under the jurisdiction of the Yonghui Dynasty. The imperial court asked me to go with you, but now that Wanghai City is full of fish and dragons, I am not sure to protect you if something happens. ”

He is a monk of the Lingqiao Realm, and he can be regarded as an ordinary person. However, this time the tide of Wanghai City is 3,000 zhang, and immortals from all walks of life are coming, and the Lingqiao realm is in it, and it is indeed a fish and shrimp that can't make any waves.

This Zhang Xingyuan is also a true temperament, even if ordinary people think like him, but it is another thing to say it, what is the best effort, never give up, I am used to hearing such words, and then hearing Zhang Xingyuan's words, Su Zhuo has a rather cordial feeling.

Su Zhuo smiled and said, "I'll be careful, please rest assured." ”

Zhang Xingyuan nodded slightly.

Although this Changle Hou has a bad reputation, he is quite easy-going, which makes him feel a lot more relaxed.

When he first learned that he needed to escort him, Zhang Xingyuan actually refused.

He couldn't really see the sword light and sword shadow on the temple, but he was not stupid, and he still smelled a little wrong from this incident.

At the beginning, the eldest princess was too unusual, and Su Zhuo, as her widow, went out for the first time in more than ten years, and came to this famous city with a history of 3,000 years.

Something is wrong.

Su Zhuo said, "Let's go into the city." ”

"Also, Brother Zhang can call my name, you can wait for a long time along the way, I really listen to it awkwardly. ”

Zhang Xingyuan said happily: "There are still rules, why don't I call you the young marquis." ”

Su Zhuo nodded and said, "That's fine." ”

Zhang Xingyuan followed behind Su Zhuo, feeling the majestic momentum of the city, his footsteps paused slightly, and said, "Actually, if you just want to take a look at the outside world, you don't have to choose to venture here. ”

Su Zhuo, who was only in a good mood, nodded and said softly: "That's right, but if you want to watch the dragon tide that occurs once in thirty years, there is only one in the world...... Wouldn't it be a pity to miss this one of the thirty years of life?"

Zhang Xingyuan shook his head slightly.

He didn't think that this young marquis would be able to climb to the top of the city and look at the tide of the sea, after all, even those true geniuses might not have this ability, let alone Su Zhuo, who only had the right mood?

In his opinion, the so-called tide watching is to find a place in the city to feel the earth-shattering momentum of the dragon tide. Admittedly, this was not a scene that ordinary people could see, but he still didn't think it was worth risking here just to see it from a distance.

......

......

The people in the imperial court and the Shangqing Palace have always been unaccustomed to Su Zhuo's deceitful behavior, and Su Zhuo is also a loner. Tacitly, the Yonghui Dynasty and the people of the Shangqing Palace took the lead, while Su Zhuo was slowly lagging behind, and when he arrived at Wanghai City, the two men had been in Wanghai City for three days.

Su Zhuo didn't mean to greet them, but just asked Zhang Xingyuan to inform them of the news that he had also arrived.

He wanted to see this veritable city of a thousand miles.

Coming out of the inn and going to Ximen Street, you can see a bluestone avenue extending straight along the central axis, leading to the 33-zhang Tingchao Tower in the center of the city that is as high as the east city wall. It is rumored that among them, there are masters of the Knowing God Realm and even the Delusion Breaking Realm, and the idle monks will not be able to climb the building.

The merchants in Wanghai City are on par with the ritual system, and even better than the first line, the shops are lined up, you can see them everywhere, the city of thirty miles square, the miscellaneous places of the five directions, all kinds of arts.

The world's giant businessman Jia Duo has close contacts with Wanghai City, and the Wanghai Chamber of Commerce is the most powerful in the city, and can use the name of Wanghai as a business name in this city, and its background is self-evident.

Before Su Zhuo came here, he couldn't help but be curious, looking at the prosperous scene of Haicheng, compared to Lingjiang, the imperial capital of the Yonghui Dynasty?

Although the number of people in Wanghai City is not large, only about 200,000, which is not as good as Lingjiang, which is not enough for one or two million people, but walking in the streets and alleys, you will find that there are monks everywhere, Su Zhuo estimated that mortals are only about one-tenth of the number of people in the city, and after thinking about it, he felt shocked in his heart.

Moreover, the tide of stinging dragons that occurs once in 30 years is coming, and all the gods and immortals gather in one city, gathering a lot of luck in the world, and now this Wanghai City naturally has a majestic atmosphere.

After two days, Su Zhuo had a general understanding of the city.

Listening to the Chaolou and Wanghai Chamber of Commerce is the place he cares about the most.

The name of the Wanghai Chamber of Commerce has been heard in the Shangqing Palace, this Chamber of Commerce not only has an incomparable status in Wanghai City, but also looks at the world, it is also extremely prestigious.

When Su Zhuo and Zhang Xingyuan were sitting by the window of Tianque Tower, the most expensive restaurant in Wanghai City, overlooking the scenery in the city, they heard someone next to them mention this Wanghai Chamber of Commerce.

"To be honest, instead of looking forward to those geniuses who secretly compete at the Wanghai Banquet, I want to see the female shopkeeper of the Wanghai Chamber of Commerce with my own eyes. ”

The Wanghai Banquet will be held after the 20th, and the Dragon Tide will also come within January, and Wanghai City is a city dominated by monks, so the topic of wine guests is naturally inseparable from the Wanghai Banquet and the Dragon Sting Tide, two things related to monks.

"The female shopkeeper, but that Wang Xiyue?"

"Not bad. This female shopkeeper is really a wonderful person, and when talking about her, many people's first reaction is her strange chess path and the world's difficult business methods. After she took over as the treasurer of the Wanghai Chamber of Commerce a year ago, she innovated the traditional four-column bookkeeping method, and proposed the bookkeeping method of dividing the accounts into the coming and going parties...... Tsk, under her management, the Wanghai Chamber of Commerce is thriving, and the Confucianism of Yushan Academy praised it for being "far-sighted and talented". However, most people have forgotten that this female shopkeeper is still a monk wizard, only twenty, and she has reached the peak of the Lingqiao Realm, but I don't know if she will represent Wanghai City at this year's Wanghai Banquet this time. ”

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar.

Who can get the favor of such a strange woman, it is really the ancestral tomb of the eighteenth generation is smoking.

"It's a pity that the shopkeeper Wang is good everywhere, extremely talented, and extremely beautiful, but he is not feminine enough. ”

The person who understood smiled: "So there are still good deeds in the city who have given the king shopkeeper a nickname, called the Taiping shopkeeper." ”

For such a title, the shopkeeper was not only annoyed, but also said a very interesting sentence - how can the world be flat if the chest is uneven. What a strange woman!"

Hearing this, many drinkers laughed.

"Speaking of strange women, there is another one who will also come to Wanghai City this time, in my opinion, not inferior to this shopkeeper. ”

"Isn't that Xu Fenglian, a strange woman from the Great Zhou Dynasty?"

"Exactly. Although Xu Fenglian's appearance is a step worse than that of the Taiping shopkeeper, her capital is more than that of the shopkeeper, so it can be regarded as a tie. In terms of identity, Xu Fenglian is the pearl of Xu Guan, the king of Jingbei of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the county lord of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and this status is not worse than that of the shopkeeper. ”

Someone asked, "But where is the strange?"

"Brother Tai is not in a hurry, I will tell you this. This Xu Fenglian was originally named Xu Jinlian, but in addition to being famous for her beauty, her cultivation qualifications are not outstanding. But five years ago, he fell seriously ill and almost died, and after recovering from the illness, the county lord was like a changed person, not only did his cultivation improve by leaps and bounds, but also changed his name to Xu Jinlian and changed Xu Jinlian to Xu Fenglian. When asked why, the answer was even more puzzling - she said that the name Jin Lian was too debauched. Many people wondered, what a beautiful word Jin Lian was, how could she find out how to think of debauchery? But Xu Fenglian is not what it used to be, she has broken several levels in five years, and now she has the cultivation of the Lingqiao Realm, and the future is immeasurable, she wants to change her name, and the King of Jingbei will depend on her. ”

But then it's even more interesting, Xu Fenglian originally had a childhood sweetheart who had affection for each other, and after flying up the branch and becoming a phoenix, she turned her face and didn't recognize anyone, and kicked it away. Not only that, but she also has a sudden change in temperament, and has received a lot of beauties with outstanding appearances, and she has been grinding mirrors every night, and I heard that one of them was forcibly taken away by a mandarin duck beaten with a stick, and the woman turned out to have a wishful lover, and the two were happy, but she was forcibly broken up......"

"This ...... Isn't it nonsense?"

A drinker couldn't help but say when he heard this, and immediately attracted a chorus of echoes.

"Hey, I'm not done yet. This Xu Fenglian, who somehow excluded her two brothers later, won the trust of King Jingbei, and said that she would be the first female vassal king of the Great Zhou Dynasty. ”

When he said this, Xiao Er happened to bring a plate of hot dishes.

Su Zhuo took a sip of wine, and felt that it was really the right time to come to Wanghai City this time, and said with emotion: "The world is really big, and there are no surprises. If you have the opportunity to deal with these two strange women, it will be worth the trip. ”

Zhang Xingyuan said: "I'm afraid that the young marquis has forgotten, two days ago, Chen Xu, the son of King Zhao, offended Wang Xiyue verbally for some reason, and was unceremoniously kicked out with a broken leg. Then I said a joke in passing, and I didn't think that they would simply use the dead horse as a live horse doctor, and directly asked you to come forward and meet the female shopkeeper for a while. ”

Su Zhuo was slightly stunned, only then did he remember that Zhang Xingyuan had mentioned this matter to him, and at the same time remembered his joke - "Changle Hou is good at painting, especially good at painting women, why don't you let Changle Hou give it a try", but he didn't think that this "beautiful thing" was really his turn, and he couldn't help crying and laughing.

Zhang Xingyuan was also a little embarrassed, and said: "The young marquis paints superbly, under the wonderful brush, he can paint the plains and Yiye with ups and downs, and the shape and spirit are possessed, without losing nature, and many beauties who are not heavy enough on their chests come to make up for their regrets in the painting." If the young marquis can cure the flat chest in the world, maybe the female shopkeeper will be happy and directly promise her heart, then you can walk sideways in Wanghai City in the future. ”

Su Zhuoke was not fooled by Zhang Xingyuan's sycophancy, and said with a wry smile: "I really thank Brother Zhang." ”
