Chapter 36 Xuzhou City
"Boss"
Just after the egret had killed all six men in black with just one look, a mysterious voice sounded in the empty woodland.
Beside the egret, a space suddenly twisted, and a girl in a soapy blue leotard appeared in place.
"Is there a result?"
The egret glanced at her out of the corner of his eye and said indifferently.
"There are already results, and here are their portraits and materials. The girl respectfully handed the egret two portraits and letters, and continued.
"The 'Yuntian Codex' stolen by the traitor Goshawk should have been obtained by them. ”
opened the two portraits, and the portraits were the portraits of Zhao Qinhe and Gu Fangzhou.
The portraits of the two characters are lifelike, and they are seven or eight points similar to real people, and I don't know how this group of mysterious people learned about the appearance of the two of them.
After the egret took a few closer glances at the portraits of the two of them, and made sure that he had memorized their appearances, the hand holding the portraits shook with strength, and the two drawings became natural without fire, looking at the two portraits that had already burned, the egret slowly lowered them on the small mound of the graves of the goshawk and the black dove, and looked as if she was burning sacrificial objects.
On the other side, Zhao Qinhe and Gu Fangzhou, who didn't know that they had been targeted by a certain organization, finally came to Xuzhou City after a period of trekking.
At noon, the sun was scorching and cloudless.
Although Xuzhou City is the state capital, it is a famous hot place in the Dongqiantian region, and there are few pedestrians on the official road at this time, and most of them are lifeless, and there is no atmosphere of the central place of the state capital at all.
The officers and soldiers defending the city wore hats and cowered in the shadows of the city wall, guarding the gate weakly.
A soldier guarding the city looked around the door, and suddenly a strange picture appeared in his eyes, and suddenly, he was stunned.
I saw that on the originally calm and peaceful official road, there was a chaotic and rapid sound of horses' hooves, and then two gray and dusty corridors appeared on the official road not far away.
Stomp, stomp!
The horse's hooves galloped, and the figures of Gu Fangzhou and Zhao Qinhe rushed out of the two smoke and dust corridors, Gu Fangzhou laughed and looked happy, while Zhao Qinhe looked helpless.
"Xuzhou City! We're finally here. Gu Fangzhou tightened the reins in front of the city gate and stopped the galloping horses, then he turned his head to look at Zhao Qinhe and said, "Brother, we have arrived at our destination, why are you still depressed, is there any trouble?"
Hearing this, Zhao Qinhe gave him a blank look.
"That's your destination, it's none of my business. ”
Gu Fangzhou didn't seem to hear his complaints, and his face was still excited.
"Come on, come on, get off the horse, I'll take you to the biggest inn in Xuzhou City to have a good meal. ”
Like these state cities, unless it is the emperor and nobles, ordinary people are not allowed to ride into the city, although in this Eastern Qiantian region, the power of the Dayuan Dynasty is very weak, only occupies a great righteousness and reputation, the real ruling force is still the major families and various sects, but like this large city, the power of the dynasty is still very considerable.
To tell the truth, when Zhao Qinhe saw those city guards in soldier clothes in front of the city gate, he was still very surprised, because he had been in this world for many years This is the first time he has discovered the existence of the power of the dynasty with his own eyes, like before, even the county order of Qinglin County, where their Lanshuang Zhao family is located, is actually directly assigned by their Zhao family, and it has nothing to do with the dynasty at all, and even the taxes are directly collected by their Zhao family, for a long time he thought that there was no imperial court in this world, and it was not until later that he knew the existence of the Dayuan Dynasty, but in his guess, this is actually a part of the family's education, downplaying the existence of the dynasty, strengthen the power of the world, so that the children of the family forget or even ignore the court, and only know the family.
In this world, because the martial arts are prosperous, and the personal power is enough to affect the changes in the world, the power of the imperial court and the control of the people under its rule are not strong, although the Song family, the royal family of the Dayuan Dynasty, also has a legendary power of transcendence, but at best it is against some families and sects, but it is just a delusion to overwhelm them.
Therefore, the only place that the Dayuan Dynasty can really call the ruling area is Zhongzhou and the part of Nanyue Tian close to Zhongzhou, as for the other places, although it is also the territory under the rule of the Dayuan Dynasty in name, but the actual managers are the major families and sects, whether it is the local officials or soldiers, in fact, they are directly assigned by the major families themselves, and even the law is to implement the patriarchal law of the local family or the door rules of the sect, as for the criminal law of the Great Yuan, what is it? The locals said that they had never heard of it.
Of course, there are exceptions, such as some larger cities, transportation or strategic locations, then the power of the Great Yuan Dynasty is very strong.
Zhao Qinhe didn't plan to challenge the power of the Dayuan Dynasty, so he also obediently dismounted, took the reins and followed Gu Fangzhou towards the city, and asked as he walked, "Don't you wait for those dart masters in your dart game?" I think their strength is very average, if you encounter a dart robber, what should you do." ”
"Wait for them, no, they know where I'm going. As for the robbery darts, hahaha! Those are some broken medicinal herbs and broken silk, which are not worth a few dollars at all, and if they are robbed, forget it, and lose money if it is a big deal, and it is not a big deal. Gu Fangzhou didn't stop and said indifferently.
There are not many pedestrians on the streets of Xuzhou City, and the entire central street is very spacious and smooth.
Zhao Qinhe followed Gu Fangzhou slowly towards the central area of the city, and not long after, they stopped in front of an inn with very luxurious decoration.
"Brother, it's here. You invited me to eat roast chicken in the ruined temple, then I will invite you to come here for a good meal today. Gu Fangzhou said boldly.
Zhao Qinhe looked up at the plaque of the inn.
"Getaway Inn"
"Strange name"
Zhao Qinhe secretly made an evaluation in his heart, but it was nothing, since someone had a treat, he was also happy to eat a proud meal.
As soon as I walked into the door of the inn, a small servant came over very enthusiastically.
"Ouch! Isn't this Senior Young Master Gu, a rare guest, I haven't been here for a long time. ”
"Don't talk nonsense, today Young Master Ben wants to invite his brother to dinner, first come to a private seat, boil the top tea, come to the pot of 'drunk three thoughts' that have been stored for fifty years, and then serve seven or eight of the most expensive dishes, that's it for the time being, hurry up." ”
Gu Fangzhou waved his hand, and the whole nouveau riche said inhumanely.
