279 Shuangyang Town
Time always passes inadvertently.
Qing Yu settled down in the First Magic Academy to learn the magic suit, he is indeed very talented, and with Dugu's carefree teaching, he has made rapid progress. He has been able to depict all the positive and negative formations of the first-level formation, and can choose the best and the best. During this time, he lived a very fulfilling life, and in the primary set of the Element Seven series, he had already created three types of fire attributes, wind attributes, and earth attributes, and there were still four things missing. At his current level, he could have held his first press conference, but he was still immersed in learning.
While researching the water suit, he ran into a problem. In order to disguise his chaotic attributes, among the seven elements, he has not used the water system. This also led him to look at many of the problems of water in a bit of a fog.
On this day, he received Dongfang Qing's summons, frowned, and decided to go to the Fengwu Club.
Today, everyone arrived very well, Chu Qiao, the Zhang brothers, Yun Xi, and Hua Xiangrong were all there, and when they saw him walk in, Zhang Changying nodded, and the others also smiled.
After sitting down, Dongfang Qing said with a smile: "Oh, the members of our Phoenix Dance Club have finally arrived. Speaking of which, the discipline in the clubhouse is too lax, especially for someone, and it's really hard to invite right now. ”
Qing Yu knew that Dongfang was burying herself, so she smiled at everyone, but stared at Dongfang Qing playfully, to see what other ugly things this girl could say.
Dongfang Qing continued: "In order to revive the name of the Phoenix Dance Club and continue our business, this president has decided to do several tasks together in the next few days. No one is allowed to be lazy and does not accept any requests for leave. ”
Qing Yu sat on the chair a little uncomfortable, twisted her buttocks, and Dongfang Qing immediately became difficult: "Xuanyuan Qing Yu, do you have a different opinion?"
"Huh?" Qing Yu didn't expect Dongfang Qing to name herself directly, and hurriedly said: "No opinion, no opinion, for the president's decision, I am 10,000 support, absolutely obedient." ”
"Hmph! ”
None of the others did not participate, but Yun Xi said: "Our people are not weak, especially Senior Qingyu and Senior Changying, but we don't have a shield warrior in our profession, do you want to hire a strong shield warrior to act together?"
Chu Qiao said: "Eh, Qing Yu, that Huo Shan of your Star Clan is good, ask him if you want to be together?"
"Well, I'll go back and ask, do you want anyone else? I'll find a few more. ”
Dongfang Qing hurriedly interrupted: "Don't want other professions." ”
Zhang Changying said: "My cousin Zhang Huaiyu is also very talented in shield fighting, let me call him together." ”
The wind howled from the north, kicking up a cloud of dust. The dense trees rattled in the cold wind, bending down as if to welcome a king. A rugged mountain trail divides the woods in two, and this trail is a path in clear weather and a stream in rainy weather.
Further north of the woods is Shuangyang Mountain, as if two sheep kneel opposite each other, and between the two sheep is this mountain path.
It looks a little dilapidated and barren, as if it were a barren forest far away on the frontier. In fact, this is the hinterland of the empire, and the other end of Shuangyang Mountain is Shuangyang County.
Several fiery horses galloped against the north wind, and a cloud of smoke and dust also rolled up on the dry mountain path, and soon merged with the dust of the north wind, and several fiery horses and knights disappeared in the smoke.
Shuangyang Town is not big, it was originally just a pass, called Shuangyang Pass, and there was a garrison of 600 people. However, because it is the choke point leading from north to south, commerce has gradually prospered. Not a healthy boom, of course, but a deformed boom. It has become a well-known black goods distribution center in the north, and it is mixed.
The Fengwu people, led by Dongfang Eye, were standing fifty meters outside the gate of Shuangyang County, looking at this corrupt city. Less than a zhang high, rammed with loess. The walls of the city were covered with moss or ferns, speckled like a few spots of mildew on a yellow cloth.
The walls of the city were as silent as water, and there were no soldiers patrolling the city, not even a single flag. At the city gates, however, a group of soldiers in leather armor and overcoats were viciously collecting a poll tax from passers-by.
"Enter the city!" Zhang Changying waved his big hand, his feet lightly clamped the horse's belly, and the jujube red steed under the seat neighed, and his front hooves jumped up, and he had crossed more than 20 meters. The others rode their horses toward the gate.
"Bold, who is it? How dare you force your way through the city gate?" The soldiers saw Zhang Changying's horses rushing in without slowing down, and their scalps immediately tingled and they were worried.
Herod!
The red steed neighed again, its hooves kicked angrily in mid-air, and when its hooves landed, it just avoided the soldiers who were drinking, and the hot horse's nose breathed on the soldiers' bodies.
The soldier was furious, drew his Qiushui Yanling knife, and slashed at the horse's leg with the sword. The knife was gently held by Zhang Changying, and several silver coins appeared in front of the soldier's eyes, saying, "This is our poll tax for entering the city." ”
The soldier hesitated, took the silver coin, blew it in his ear, and said, "Slowly enter the town, if you dare to ride your horse, keep it and let you come out sideways." ”
The group rode horses and entered the town leisurely. After the dark and secluded city cave, everyone's eyes are bright, although the city wall is tattered, but the inside is indeed very prosperous.
The wide and clean streets are enough for eight horses to run in parallel, and the streets are paved with bluestone, and there are green drains and oil between the cracks. The streets are lined with two-storey wooden buildings, which are full of signboards.
The streets were bustling with pedestrians, and the shops were shouting vigorously, and they were soon drowned in the flow of people.
In the inn, Zhang Changying and Qing Yu sat on the long wooden bench, and Chu Qiao and Dongfang Qing sat opposite. Yun Xi and Hua Xiangrong sat alone on the other side. The other three boys sat on a small stool next to them, and the four girls were all dressed in wide black robes, and the black hats that had covered their faces had been removed, revealing four delicate faces.
Dongfang Qing stretched and said: "After two days of driving, the bone frame is about to be scattered, let's sleep well today, and then talk about the task tomorrow." ”
This time, the task he took was very simple, the other party wanted to send a brocade box to Shuangyang Town and hand it over to a person named Wei Chao. The reason why they are willing to take on this task is that in addition to the fact that they have a lot of pay, this task is actually A-level. And Shuangyang Town is very close to Yunze Forest, and the goal of their trip is to go hunting in Yunze Forest, and this task is just a stop.
Nine people live in separate rooms, Qingyu naturally lives in the same room with Huo Shan, and the three Zhang brothers and Chu Qiao and Dongfang Qing live on both sides. This brocade box is on the table in Qing Yu's room, and it is wrapped in a yellow cloth bag in the shape of a long strip.
Qing Yu and Huo Shan sat opposite each other, and their eyes locked on the brocade box. In fact, the nine people all have great curiosity about this brocade box and want to open it.
The victim spent 2,000 gold coins to send someone from Chang'an to Shuangyang Town, and this task will not be easy if you think about it. And it's not as simple as this brocade box. Qing Yu once wanted to put the brocade box in the space ring, but found that he couldn't put it in at all, so he could only carry it all the way.
