Chapter Forty-Nine: A Chance Encounter in the City

Dozens of miles away from Bear Wolf Mountain, there is a huge ancient city with a long history.

This ancient city is known as the city of Luxi, and the main structure of the whole castle is made of mountain stones, and the thickness of the city is five to six zhang, which is very solid. The walls of the castle are lined with battlements, and on the top platform are huge trebuchets and large crossbows that can only be pushed by machinery. The castle is surrounded by a tall watchtower, which is ten feet high and more than two feet in diameter.

The towers are easily visible from afar, and they are the city's main symbol.

Inside and outside the ancient city, it is very lively, although the city gate is wide open, but the people who enter and leave the city are endless, and the prosperous scene in the west city can be seen.

At the gate of the city, there were soldiers, and their eyes were as sharp as lightning, and those who went out of the city were just men, but those who entered the city had to pay two copper plates each. Not only that, but those who escorted vehicles or carried burdens into the city paid a few more copper coins.

Yu Jiansheng and the five of them pushed a big cart with everyone's weapons on it, and they followed the team that entered the city and slowly moved towards the city.

Zheng Haotian looked ahead, lowered his voice and said, "Dad, did you say they would find out?"

This board car is a special thing made by Zheng Chenglian, and everyone's weapons are placed outside, but there is a small dark grid inside the board car. In the dark grid, there was the white-eyed wolf king skin that Zheng Haotian hunted for the first time.

It has been a full month since the last wolf attack, and with the assistance of the powerful True Qi, Yu Jiansheng's injuries have also healed, and now the agreement with Steward Cheng is approaching, so they and their group have gone down the mountain and entered the city.

This time when I entered the city, I also had the intention of selling the skin of the white-eyed wolf king, but this thing must be sent into the city unknowingly, otherwise the gate of the city alone may not be able to pass.

Zheng Chenglian smiled confidently and said, "Haotian, when have you ever seen your father miss." ”

Zheng Haotian touched his scalp and said, "Dad, you didn't have much effort this time, you hurriedly made a dark grid, I can see the flaws at a glance, and I may not be able to fool the past." ”

Zheng Chenglian said angrily: "Your skills and eyesight are no longer under me, and the family heirloom is even better than me, but can these gatekeepers compare with you." ”

Zheng Haotian smiled awkwardly, and then he was relieved.

Suddenly, a series of horses' hooves sounded like ** from behind him, and a loud sound suddenly came.

"The Qiu family's carriage aisle, all get out of the way. ”

The gate of the city was suddenly full of chickens and dogs, and there was no need for anyone to drive them away, and everyone was already obediently leaning towards both sides.

Zheng Haotian and the others quietly came to the side with the flow of people, and he looked at the carriage galloping from afar, and his heart was filled with strong resentment.

Everyone was queuing up to enter the city, but as soon as the Qiu family's carriage arrived, not only did they cut the line openly, but they even asked others to make way for them.

However, the soldiers under the city who were shouting and scolding ordinary people were silent at this time, and they had no intention of going up to block the collection of entry fees at all.

Zheng Haotian's eyes flashed with a glimmer of light that even he didn't understand, and he looked at the carriage that was getting closer and closer, and a thought suddenly popped up in his heart.

It would be nice if I had such power and prestige.

Two carriages followed in front and back, accompanied by more than twenty sturdy knights, and to the rhythmic sound of horses' hooves, they came to the gates of the city.

These people turned a blind eye to the awe-inspiring gazes of the people around them, and it seemed to them that all of this was taken for granted.

Suddenly, a long laugh came from inside the city.

"Qiu Shimei, Qiu Shidi, it's a coincidence that we can meet here. ”

The voice was not high, but it was long and powerful, as if it sounded directly in the ears of the people.

Yu Jiansheng's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly moved his body to block Zheng Haotian behind him.

Zheng Haotian blinked his eyes and looked at Uncle Yu's movements inexplicably, he was very unfamiliar with that voice. It's even certain that I've never seen this person. But for some reason, Yu Jiansheng seemed to be very afraid of this person seeing him.

The carriage and the many knights who were about to enter the city suddenly stopped, and a pleasant sound sounded from the carriage.

"It turned out that Brother Li was here, we were in a hurry, we didn't pay attention, and it was rude. ”

Zheng Haotian's eyes looked towards the carriage, but the door did not open, and the curtain was closed, so that he could not see the face of the woman in the carriage.

It's just that when he heard this beautiful voice, he had a strong urge to meet the person who spoke.

This voice is crisp and tactful, although it is saying the most ordinary polite words, but it feels as if it is telling the most beautiful story. And it is directly sent to the hearts of everyone, and it has a magical feeling that can make people forget the troubles caused by the cumbersome reality.

In Zheng Haotian's memory, even Xi Yuting who met in the maze in the mountains did not have such a wonderful voice.

He shook his head, and his gaze flickered, and he couldn't help but be startled, because he saw that almost everyone around him was looking in one direction.

The carriage that came out of that voice endured the gaze of thousands of people at this moment, but unfortunately, no one was able to see through the thick wooden planks and see the beautiful scenery inside.

From the city walked slowly a young man with a handsome face, a broad forehead, a straight nose, and deep-set eyes, but large and bright. The robe on the cover is wearing a small vest with a sika deerskin face, black satin and a row of horizontal buttons, buttoned with gold walnut buttons, showing his noble status and status.

At this time, he towered in the middle of the crowd, as conspicuous as a crane standing among small water birds.

"Qiu Shimei, have you gained anything from going out hunting this time?" the young man asked with a smile.

"This time I didn't go into the mountains, but I just hunted some ordinary beasts, which are not worth mentioning. ”

When the woman began to speak, it was very quiet, as if everyone was thinking about it and wanted to hear more.

So although almost everyone was jealous and jealous of the handsome man who was able to talk to the woman, he wished they could talk more.

The man's face showed a smile as warm as jade, and said, "Sister Shi doesn't need to worry, how about setting up a wine banquet for my brother tonight on the west floor of the building, and picking up the wind and washing the dust for my sister?"

"Thank you Brother Shi for your kindness, but my little sister has just returned and feels a little tired, so I want to rest early tonight. ”

Although the man was rejected, his face was not annoyed, but he still said with a smile: "Since my sister is tired, let's go back and rest as soon as possible, and visit Qiu Mansion again for my brother." ”

He got out of the way, and the knight leaders who were guarding the carriage gave him a fist salute, and with a wave of his hand, the knights escorted the carriage into the city gates.

After the young man saw all the carriages enter the city, his figure shook slightly, and he disappeared in an instant.

There was a loud uproar in everyone, almost as if they suspected that they had seen a ghost.

Zheng Haotian's three teenagers changed their eyes, they were not ordinary people after all, so they could see the afterimage that flashed from the void.

Naturally, they didn't really think it was some kind of demon, because they knew that it was the result of the young man's departure at a great speed.

This person's speed is so fast that a few of them are definitely incomparable.

The soldiers at the gates seemed to be accustomed to this, shouting loudly and mercilessly whipping the screaming crowd with their whips.

After a few moments, the order returned to normal.

Zheng Haotian and the others were about to ask, but when they saw Yu Jiansheng shaking his head slightly, they immediately put away their minds and continued to wait in line.

A quarter of an hour later, it was finally their turn.

Seeing the weapons and some mountain goods placed on the carriage, the leader of the guards stepped forward with a calm face and said, "Who are you?"

Yu Jiansheng hurriedly stepped forward, flipped his wrist, and had already taken out an iron card, and said: "Yu Jiansheng, these are all friends and disciples of Xia, and this time they entered the city to let them participate in the assessment of hunters." ”

The leader of the soldiers glanced at the iron card in Yu Jiansheng's hand, and his face suddenly looked much better.

This iron plaque represents his status as a junior hunter, although a beginner hunter is not a big man, but it is not something that he, the leader of a small soldier, can provoke.

However, his eyes fell on Zheng Haotian and the others, and he couldn't help frowning slightly, and said, "Can a few of them be old enough to participate in the hunter assessment?"

Zheng Chenglian took a step forward, smiled slightly, and said, "They have already obtained the permission of Steward Cheng and can participate." ”

"Butler Cheng?" The face of the leader of the soldiers changed slightly, he looked at Zheng Chenglian for a while, and said suddenly: "You are Zheng Carpenter." ”

Zheng Chenglian nodded slightly and said, "It's the contemptible person." ”

The man lowered his voice and said, "Carpenter Zheng, what you said is that you are the great butler Cheng in the old man's mansion?"

Zheng Chenglian said with a smile: "In the city, there doesn't seem to be a second Cheng Da butler." ”

"Yes, that is. The face of the leader of the soldiers was immediately full of smiles, and he waved his big hand and said, "It's okay, let it go." ”

Zheng Haotian and the five of them walked into the city easily, and the guards even let go of routine inspections, and as for the entrance fee to be charged by each person, they did not mention it.
