readx;? Night City, a paradise in the mountains of Beiling, who would have thought that in this barren countryside, there is such a blessed place in the dense mountains and forests, after the convoy shuttled left and right in the barren mountains and mountains for a long time, it was actually a huge city in front of the willows. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The appearance of Night City is somewhat similar to Wenyang City in the southwest, and it can be regarded as a lonely city with a radius of hundreds of miles. It's just that Wenyang City is built on the mountain, while Night City is surrounded by mountains, and in terms of prosperity, Night City is far more prosperous than Wenyang City, so that Lu Yifan and Lan Chen's convoy turned all the way from the Northern Avenue, and they saw many woodcutters and hunters one after another, and after inquiring, these people actually all lived in Night City.

And along the way, perhaps because of the large number of Lu Yifan and others, he did not encounter thieves and bandits as rumored. On the contrary, as the distance from the night city gradually approached along the way, Lu Yifan could also feel a strong atmosphere of comfort and peace.

"There are a hundred miles in the North Ridge, and there is only such a place where Night City can be settled, I can't think of anyone who has such a great ability to unify the mountains of the North Ridge and build a city!" Xie Yun looked at the more and more figures on the surrounding mountains, and couldn't help but feel a burst of emotion.

"Maybe it's because the people here want to have such a place where everyone can live and reproduce together, so they gathered!" Yin Xi said with a smile, "Just like our Wenyang City back then......"

"It's different!" Liu Sandao's eyes narrowed slightly at this moment, cautiously and meaningfully staring at every figure on the surrounding mountains, and then said with a smile, "There are the most bandits in this kind of mountain forest, and the people are fierce and martial, not to mention that it is extremely difficult to build a city together, even if it is concentrated to set up a cottage!"

"Brother Liu has the most say in this kind of matter, you must know that the famous Xihuang Mountain bandits are not in vain!" Lu Yifan, who was sitting in the carriage, couldn't help but laugh and joked.

And Lu Yifan's words also caused the laughter of the people around him all of a sudden, and even Liu Sandao himself laughed, and for a while, the gloomy mood of being riddled with evil diseases just now was dissipated a lot.

As he spoke, the convoy slowly passed through the last dense forest, and at the moment when the carriage drove out of the dense forest, a soft afterglow of the sunset that had been lost for a long time also instantly sprinkled down, and a gust of wind also hit from the front, bringing everyone a heartfelt comfort.

What is another village? What is a paradise with winding paths? I am afraid that this scene in front of me can explain this meaning.

On an empty and wide plain, a huge city surrounded by tall walls stood impressively, there were no more dense branches and foliage overhead, and the surrounding mountains were no longer rugged and bumpy, everything was as if he had returned to the plains of the Sanctuary, and the city in front of him also gave Lu Yifan the illusion of returning to Wenyang City.

Yes, the feeling here is too similar to the outside of the gate of Wenyang City!

As the sun sets, the brilliant fiery clouds are hanging high in the sky, exuding its unique charm, and the soft and bright golden sunlight sprinkles on the city, as if covering this place with a layer of golden splendor, so eye-catching and pleasing to the eye.

The tall city wall is even more magnificent than the city wall of Wenyang City, and in the middle of the city wall, a huge arched doorway stands prominently, and the city gate is wide open and seems to welcome everyone who comes here. And directly above the city gate, on the huge stone plaque, two quaint characters of the dragon flying and the phoenix dance are announcing its name to the world "Night City." ”

This is the legendary Northridge Night City. A mysterious city that only survives in the talk of the vast majority of people in the Sanctuary.

And the most noteworthy thing is that there is not a trace of the city army around the walls of the entire night city. There are no guards to defend the city, no city troops to garrison the city defenses, no city lords to manage the affairs of the city, and there are no people and horses who should appear in a city here.

"It seems that the legend is true, this Night City is really a place where no matter what!" Xie Yun's eyes flickered as he stared at the Night City in front of him, his eyes were so deep that he couldn't see what he was thinking, maybe he recalled Wenyang City back then.

At this moment, Lu Yifan and his entourage had just come to the city gate, but they had already heard the bustling noise and noise coming from the city, and these sounds undoubtedly came from the hustle and bustle of the city market.

"My lord, there is a stone tablet in front of the city, which says that all carriages are not allowed to enter the city, so they have to be parked outside the city gate, and people should enter the city on foot!" Yin Xi replied to Lu Yifan after some investigation.

"Oh, carriages are not allowed to enter the city, there are such regulations in such a place, and who is the inscription?" Lu Yifan asked with interest.

"Back to the adult's words, the payment is the word 'Night City', and it is not written who stipulated it. Yin Xi replied respectfully.

"Then let the carriage enter the city!" Liu Sandao said nonchalantly, "Since there is no city lord in charge, then even if we drive the carriage into the city, no one will take care of us!"

"Huh, follow the customs, since the people of Night City can abide by this rule, how can we, as outsiders, break the rules of others?" Lu Yifan waved his hand to interrupt Liu Sandao's words, and then took the lead in getting up and getting out of the carriage, "Yin Xi, you let the carriage be parked properly outside the city, we will enter the city first to find a place to stay, and then you will come out to pick up the brothers into the city to rest!"

"Yes!" Yin Xi nodded in agreement, then turned around and beckoned his men to go down.

And at this moment, Lan Chen also stepped out of the carriage accompanied by Hai Lao and Sanchun and walked towards Lu Yifan and the others. Obviously, Lan Chen also learned about the inscription outside the city, and he, like Lu Yifan, didn't want to break the rules here.

"Lu Yifan, the reason why I came here is not because I want to cater to you, but because my people and horses also need to rest!" Walking to the front, under the afterglow of the setting sun, in front of the ancient city, Lan Chen's first sentence destroyed the beautiful artistic conception at this moment.

Hearing Lan Chen's words, Lu Yifan pursed his lips and smiled lightly, then turned his head and said with a smile: "From Jinling City to each other, all the way to here, it is a full 27,000 miles, I really can't understand what kind of deep hatred and hatred there is between you and me? ”

Lu Yifan's outspokenness made Lan Chen's face change, and then his eyes flashed as if he wanted to blurt out Lu Yifan's accusations, but when his mouth was halfway long, Lan Chen suddenly found that his hostility towards Lu Yifan all along was natural, of course, it can also be said to be innate, but there is no actual holiday.

"Disgust, you don't need any reason!" In the end, Lan Chen snorted coldly, but he only gave such a seemingly domineering reason.

"Indeed!" Lu Yifan nodded approvingly, "Although you and I hate each other, after all, this place in Night City is a completely strange place for you and me, no one knows what the city is like, I just want to negotiate one thing with you before entering the city, I hope that you and I will temporarily put aside each other's hostility before arriving at the Border Guard Mansion, after all, when choosing between disgust and the unknown, the unknown danger is greater!

Hearing Lu Yifan's words of taking the initiative, Lan Chen neither nodded but also shook his head, Lan Chen was not a fool, of course he understood the meaning of Lu Yifan's words, so for Lan Chen, not refuting immediately was actually a kind of acquiescence.

But if you want Lan Chen to admit Lu Yifan's words in person, it will be more difficult than killing him.

Seeing Lan Chen's slightly flickering gaze and solemn complexion, Lu Yifan had an answer in his heart, and then he didn't say anything more, and took the lead with a smile on his face to lead Liu Sandao and Xie Yun towards the city gate that was wide open.

After hesitating for a moment, Lan Chen finally let out a sigh of relief, and then waved his hand and beckoned Hai Lao and Sanchun to follow together.

"Yifan, the old man who followed Lan Chen, do you have a sense of déjà vu?" On the way, Liu Sandao, who was following Lu Yifan's side, finally couldn't help the doubts in his heart and asked Lu Yifan in a low voice.

Hearing Liu Sandao's words, Lu Yifan's footsteps suddenly stagnated, but in an instant, he recovered his steady pace, and still walked forward slowly and unhurriedly, but between his eyebrows, there was a faint solemnity inadvertently at this moment.

"Yes!" Just when Liu Sandao thought that Lu Yifan would not answer his question, Lu Yifan suddenly spit out such a word from his mouth without changing his face, and his answer also made Liu Sandao's face happy.

"Who is it?" asked Liu Sandao impatiently.

"I don't know!" Lu Yifan's answer was still concise and fast, but his voice was lowered, "Although it seems familiar, I can't remember who it looks like!"

"Then do you guess this person is good or evil?" Xie Yun on the side stepped forward and asked in a low voice.

Hearing Xie Yun's words, Lu Yifan glanced at Xie Yun with an undeniable wry smile, and then shook his head helplessly, indicating that he didn't know.

At this moment, there are people coming and going in front of the city gate, many of them are woodcutters who have just returned and gone out to chop firewood and hunters who go up to the mountains to hunt.

However, just when Lu Yifan sincerely sighed at the simplicity of the folk customs of Night City, a picture between the afterglow swept made him frown tightly.

At this moment, inside the doorway of the city gate of the Night City, there was an unkempt and ragged old woman who was trembling and picking up half of the dirty sweet potato that others had thrown on the ground, and gobbling it into her mouth, completely ignoring the dust and sludge on the sweet potato, looking like she had been hungry for several days without eating, like an old beggar.

"It's the same everywhere you go, there are people who live so hard like this!" Facing the old woman who was the same age as his mother, but actually looked old, Lu Yifan couldn't help but feel a burst of pity, and then walked forward quickly, took out the money bag from his sleeve and gently put it beside the old woman.

Originally, Lu Yifan didn't want to alarm the old woman, but obviously his actions still attracted the attention of the old woman, and I saw the old woman whose mouth was stuffed with unchewed sweet potatoes slowly raised her head, her dirty face was covered with bruises, and a pair of timid eyes looked at Lu Yifan and the others with trembling eyes, and there was a look of horror between her eyebrows. And looking at her subconscious desire to protect her head with her arm, it is not difficult for Lu Yifan to see that this person must have been beaten and scolded often, and then formed this habit of self-protection.

After she found out that Lu Yifan had no malicious intent, the old woman first glanced at the bulging money bag at her feet, and then she reached out again and quickly stuffed the remaining small piece of sweet potato into her mouth that was already full of sweet potatoes, and then reached out and grabbed the money bag, and then stood up tremblingly, but her eyes were always staring at Lu Yifan, it felt like she was watching a monster.

Faced with this scene, Lu Yifan couldn't help but be stunned for a while, but before he could speak, the old woman suddenly stretched out her hands as if she was crazy, grabbed Lu Yifan's robe, and shook it desperately, and the mouth stuffed with sweet potatoes was even more squeaky and roaring, but people couldn't hear it clearly, and with the roar of the old woman, the sweet potato that was originally in her mouth fell from her mouth again, and the scene looked very disgusting.

"Mmmm......mmmm

"Let go, what are you going to do?" Yin Xi on the side saw this, his face changed suddenly, and then he subconsciously pushed it, and suddenly pushed the old woman to a heel.

"Hmm...... Not...... Hmm......" The old woman who was pushed down did not look like she was in pain, and still roared with her eyes wandering to herself.

"What did you say?" Lu Yifan was puzzled, and at this moment Lan Chen also walked to Lu Yifan's side, looking at the old woman's eyes were also full of doubts, of course, there was a trace of disgust and disdain, and subconsciously covered his mouth and nose with his sleeves.

Suddenly, the old woman's voice suddenly became sharp, her face became crazy, and she yelled like crazy: "Hmm...... Hmm...... Killed ......"

With the old woman's crazy cry, she also ran into the city quickly, and after a while, she took Lu Yifan's money bag and completely disappeared at the end of the still lively and bustling street in the city.

And the strangest thing is that when the old woman stumbled through the crowded street market so loudly, none of the bustling pedestrians on the street showed a look of surprise, and it can even be said that none of them had the slightest strange reaction to this incident.

And it was precisely because the people of this night city were not surprised by this old woman's strange behavior that Lu Yifan's heart suddenly rose a feeling of extreme strangeness!

"This night city...... There seems to be somewhere...... Unusual......"
