Chapter 481: Before the City Gate
Chapter 481: Before the City Gate
Back in northern Xinjiang, Yan Yin didn't want to alarm everyone,
His purpose was just to meet Ye Qingchen, and by the way, to see the current situation in Northern Xinjiang.
Now that he is a Spirit Saint, although he doesn't know anything about some things as a cultivator, this does not prevent him from exerting the speed of the flying technique to the extreme.
Riding the wind, turning into a streamer, going straight to the depths of northern Xinjiang,
The wind was galloping, and it took less than three days for Yan Yin to cross the distance of 10,000 miles in northern Xinjiang.
In the past, when he rushed from Tianyuan City to Southern Academy, he traveled thousands of miles, and now his strength has reached the level of Spirit Saint, and he has traveled nearly 10,000 miles.
The gap between them can be described as worlds apart.
This is also why, the realm of Spirit Saint and Martial Saint has become a hurdle for many cultivators and martial artists.
A hurdle that everyone has thought about, but it is difficult to pass,
Fortunately, Yan Yin has walked through the hurdle of the Spirit Sage,
His breakthroughs, in many cases, are due to a certain state of mind and some internal factors.
It's just that although he is a spirit saint, if he fights against people as a cultivator, his strength is not as good as an ordinary spirit king or even some powerful spirit sects.
Now he is like a person who obviously has the talent to be a literary champion, but he just wants to be a martial champion wholeheartedly.
It's a pity that sometimes there is a difference between what you think in your heart and reality.
He wholeheartedly took the path of a martial artist, but he became a spirit saint, and he was not interested in cultivation, but his martial arts realm still stayed in the martial arts sect.
Even though he has eighteen drops of Martial King essence blood in his body, he is still a Martial Sect.
But said that Yan Yin went straight to Zhenbei City, and when he came to the place where Zhenbei City was located, Yan Yin almost couldn't recognize that this was Zhenbei City.
The city of Zhenbei was destroyed a lot in the great war because of the rebellion of the alien beasts, and the city walls were full of blood stains and potholes.
But now, the whole town north city has been renewed.
The walls are newly built, and the walls look clean and clean.
The houses in the city that had been destroyed after the great rebellion of the beasts were also rebuilt, and the neat and clean houses were built one after another.
The neat and uniform streets are clean and lively, there are a lot of inns and taverns on both sides, and even the Jiyuan and the Red Mansion, Yan Yin has seen a lot,
The center of the north city of Zhenbei is the city lord's mansion, and now it is surrounded by a wide road.
The road connects all parts of the city and then extends to the city gates, and people come and go in front of the city gates, and the traffic around the city is very lively.
The avenue leading to the north of the town has been renovated, like a stone dragon paved into the distance,
Looking down from above, the most eye-catching building in the north of the town is the general's mansion in addition to the city lord's mansion in the center.
The General's Mansion has not been modified, but the houses around it have been relocated and turned into a large courtyard surrounding the City Lord's Mansion.
There were very few people at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, only one or two pairs of guards guarding the City Lord's Mansion,
After investigating, Yan Yin found that there was no Ye Qingchen's breath in the city, and the most powerful people in the city were several martial kings.
It's not that cultivators don't have it, but it's not too powerful.
Just when Yan Yin was thinking about it, he saw a fierce quarrel at a city gate in the north of the town.
The two caravans wanted to enter the city, but because there were too many convoys and horses for the two teams, the guard officer of the city gate proposed that one of the teams go to the other gate.
But relatively don't want to take their own people to other doors, businessmen are the most reluctant to bow their heads in front of businessmen,
The so-called harmony makes money, that is just some people's talk,
Businessman, who can really make money in harmony,
So, both teams didn't want to get out of the way, they both wanted to enter the city, and they didn't want to go back.
In this way, the two sides are naturally a little angry, so there is a contradiction,
When the contradiction comes, it often means that the anger is coming.
"Don't think that you are the Su family's business group, we have to let you, this way to the north, your Su family and our Qingqing family are working against each other everywhere, don't you just bully our boss is a woman." A man said angrily, "Everyone is here to make a fortune in Northern Xinjiang, although there is a young lady behind you, but you can't bully others." ”
"It's just that" Some of the people around also said, "Although the Su family used to be the first business group of the empire, this is the northern frontier, and the Su family is not the Su family of the past, everyone is in business, and it doesn't matter who is afraid of whom." ”
"That is, the young lady is good, we all know it, but you can't rely on the relationship of the young lady and want to sit in the position of the first merchant group in Northern Xinjiang. A woman said coldly, "Moreover, the most unaccustomed thing in my life is those who bully us are women, what's wrong with women, women can still do business, and they can still make a fortune with people, I know Boss Liu of this Qingqing family, she is a very good girl, her surname is kind and unwilling to come forward, but we are not happy." ”
"Yes, yes, yes," another person said loudly, "Let you Su family leaders come and talk to us, Old Man Su respects us and approves of him, but if it is just a junior of the Su family who wants to bully and act recklessly in Northern Xinjiang in his later years, it is too much to underestimate these big families in our Northern Xinjiang." ”
Listening to the conversation below, Yan Yin took a closer look and saw two car dragons in front of the city gate,
The flag on one team is played with the word Su, and the flag played by the other team's car dragon is blue.
There are more people in the Su family, and there are at least thousands of guards at a glance, while the people in the Qingqing family are a little small, but only a few hundred.
It seems that the Su family is more powerful, but there are many people standing on the side of the Qingqing family.
Yan Yin saw the banners of many Northern Xinjiang families and their caravans.
Just when Yan Yin pondered whether to come forward, a person quietly appeared at the gate of the city,
"General, why are you here? When the guard at the city gate saw the comer, he hurriedly bowed and saluted, saying, "A little thing has happened here, and I didn't expect the alarmed general to give orders." ”
Ordering nodded, he was a little elegant and thin, and his appearance had not changed in the slightest in the past two years.
Giving orders or giving orders, or the one who gives orders and receives orders,
Glancing at the men and horses on both sides, he ordered to look at the guards and said, "Tell me what's going on." ”
The guard briefly explained the matter, and finally said, "Both teams are very famous merchants in Northern Xinjiang today, the Su family will not talk about it, the Qingqing family heard that it is a mysterious woman who is the boss and has a lot of funds." ”
Nodding, he ordered to look at the people who were gradually quieting down and looking at him, and then looked at the Su family's caravan, and said lightly, "Su Jinghong, if you are dead, you will come out to meet your old friend if you are not dead." ”
The staggering way of speaking, the head of the dignified Su family, the former finance minister of the Fengyun Empire, was ordered to shout like this,
Just when everyone was amazed, I saw an old man walking down from one or two carriages with the support of a middle-aged man.
"He is Su Jinghong, the head of the Su family. ”
"Why is he so old, it seems that he is not even a hundred years old. ”
"I'm afraid you don't know, this Su Jinghong is not a cultivator, nor is he a martial artist, he is a down-to-earth ordinary person. ”
"It is really not ordinary for an ordinary person to lead the Su family to leave the Fengyun Empire and abandon the position of the former Imperial Minister of Finance. ”
Some onlookers watched Su Jinghong come out and began to discuss,
Su Jinghong stepped forward with a smile, looked at the mandate, and arched his hand, "Jinghong has seen the eldest brother who has given the mandate, but I can't imagine that I haven't seen him for decades, and the eldest brother is still in style." ”
"Hmm......" glanced at Su Jinghong carefully, and frowned, "You are Su Jinghong, the kid who used to follow the general's ass, why is he so old." ”
Smiling, Su Jinghong didn't mind calling him a kid, and said slowly, "I'm not better than you, I'm just an ordinary person, I won't live for a hundred years and turn into a handful of loess, but I gave the eldest brother, I haven't seen you for many years, but it's okay." ”
Nodding, he ordered, "I'm fine, but some people are not good." ”
He glanced at the carriage that Su Jinghong came out of, then looked at Su Jinghong, and said lightly, "Let's talk about these words when we enter the city." ”
Nodding, Su Jinghong said, "It's okay, Jinghong also has a lot of words and a lot of questions to say to the eldest brother, however, this door is difficult to enter the second car, can you allow our people to enter the city first, after all, there are more people in our Su family, so it is inevitable that it will not be good for them to wait outside the city all the time." ”
As he spoke, Su Jinghong sighed, "Alas...... Although I am now the head of the Su family, the affairs of this caravan are entrusted to my nephew Xipo to manage, he is young and young, and some things are not so sophisticated, which makes this guard embarrassed. ”
Signaling to the middle-aged man beside him, the man took out some silver taels from his arms, handed them to the guard officer, and said, "Xipo is a little arrogant, so you are embarrassed, brother." ”
The guard waved his hand, but did not take the middle-aged man's silver taels,
Glancing at the order, he said solemnly, "This is my duty, and it is also what I should do, I can't talk about it if I am embarrassed or not, since I am the guard of the city gate here, I naturally have to work hard to fulfill my duty." ”
"Righteousness. Na Su Xipo nodded and said, "Your Excellency has shown us the new style of Zhenbei City. ”
As he spoke, he handed the silver taels to the guards and said, "Please don't misunderstand the guards, this money is for you and your men to eat and drink." ”
The guard looked at the order, only to see the order and said lightly, "Since it is the rich man of the Su family who has invited guests, it doesn't hurt for you to accept it." ”
"You can't take it for two. A sudden female voice rang into everyone's ears,
I saw another fleet, a female voice came from a carriage, "I heard that the city lord of Zhenbei City, Mo Wuru, is a serious person, under his management, Zhenbei City has become the center of Northern Xinjiang, and many earth-shaking changes have taken place in the entire Northern Xinjiang, and he has ordered that no city in Northern Xinjiang is allowed to collect city fees, if the people of the Su family gave the guard brother two silver taels and he accepted it, then this money, can it be regarded as an alternative city fee, the person who gives the money can pass first, and the person who does not give money needs to let it." ”
"Miss Liu, you are wrong about this," Su Xipo said coldly, "I just spent money to invite you to drink, if you want to give, we will not care about you, the general is just a friend of his uncle, and he didn't say that he wanted us to enter first." ”
"The girl is the owner of this caravan. He looked at the carriage and said lightly, "Zhenbei City welcomes anyone who comes to trade, and I didn't say that I want to let the Su family's convoy enter the city first, what you said is not unreasonable, this money really can't be collected, but it's really inappropriate to let the Su family, a big caravan from afar, wait here, if the girl doesn't mind, you can wait for the Su family's people to enter before entering, if you continue to confront here, it will only be a waste of time." ”
"Since the iron-faced selfless commander has said so, the little woman has no choice but to agree," the woman in the carriage sighed lightly and said, "Everyone, let's get out of the way." ”
Su Xipo sneered, then looked at the Su family's team, and shouted, "Brothers, prepare to enter the city." ”
"Slow. A cold drink came from the team of Qingqing House, and I saw a man striding forward, looking at the order, and said in a deep voice, "Is the Su family important or the northern Xinjiang important." ”
The man is very strong and burly,
Looking at this man, he was silent,
