Chapter 80: Handover
Dian Wei: "That being the case, it stands to reason that even if someone else steals the secret recipe and doesn't have a matching bloodline, no matter how much you cultivate, you can't fight the children of the Shangyang family, so the Shangyang family doesn't have to worry too much, right?" ”
Old man Zheng laughed twice: "Having said that, this may be the case, but it is a great shame for the foundation of a family to be stolen, and it is strange that the Shangyang family does not kill the ring." ”
Dian Wei understood.
The matter of stealing secrets is not very harmful, and it is extremely insulting!
The Shangyang family was provoked, this is!
All the way down......
It was afternoon.
Dian Wei looked up, and in front of the spread of the official road in his sight, a majestic city appeared.
"It's finally here! Xiao Wei, that's Shangyang City! Old man Zheng shouted with a flash in his eyes.
This is the first time Dian Wei has seen the giant city, so he naturally wants to take a good look.
It's just that as Dian Wei continued to move towards the giant city, he realized that something was wrong, Shangyang City seemed to be amazingly big!
In the distance, the tall city wall rises from the ground, and when you look at it, it is at least sixty meters high.
"The whole Shangyang City, relying on the topography to build, backed by the mountain, there is a ring city wall in front of the mountain, the height is 20 zhang, the 'urban area' between the mountain and the ring city wall, the straight line length is 28,000 zhang."
Old man Zheng sighed: "Compared to Shangyang City, Cangtong Town is just a sesame seed, not worth mentioning. ”
"Twenty-eight thousand zhang ......"
Dian Wei estimated in his heart that the straight-line length of the urban area was more than 80 kilometers, and even if the horse galloped at full speed, it would take an hour to run to the end.
At this moment, he finally had a more intuitive concept of "Big City".
When the long dragon came to the 66-meter-high city wall, he had to crane his neck to see the head of the wall.
It's too high!
At this moment, although it was still daylight, the gates were closed, and the drawbridge over the moat was raised.
This posture seems to be in a wartime state.
Old man Zheng looked at it, arched his hand, and shouted at the city gate: "Zheng Mao of Cangtong Town, I was ordered to escort the arrival of grain, please open the city gate and let me go." ”
As soon as this remark came out.
On the city gate, a small opening suddenly opened, and someone was looking inside.
After a while, the drawbridge descended and the city gates slowly opened.
A group of heavily armed defenders in armor and helmets ran out in orderly steps.
Dian Wei's heart was slightly cold.
He vaguely felt that these city defenders were all warriors, and their blood strength was double and triple.
What is striking is that the armor on the defenders of the city is forged from an unknown material, and it hardly reflects in the sun, giving people a sense of indestructible heaviness.
"This armor looks like a turtle shell."
Dian Wei looked around for weaknesses in the armor, and the more he looked, the more surprised he became, because the armor was a complete set, from gloves to knee pads, almost equal to no weakness, at least no obvious weakness.
Then, if he fought against these defenders, he could only cut them hard, and if he couldn't cut through the armor, it would be dangerous.
At this time, a burly defender stepped forward, holding a strange beast that was covered in darkness and looked like a leopard, and laughed: "Lao Zheng, don't come unharmed." ”
Old man Zheng arched his hand and said, "Brother, congratulations on Gao Sheng, you finally got your wish to sit in the position of the city guard." Then, he pulled Dian Wei, "This is my apprentice Dian Wei, and he will often accompany me to escort food in the future, please take care of me." Xiao Wei, this is General Shangyang Jiu. ”
"Meet the General." Dian Wei hurriedly saluted.
Shangyang Jiuxu raised his hand, a smug look appeared on his face, and he laughed: "Hey, what a bullshit general, I'm just a gatekeeper." ”
With that, he touched the black panther beast, loosened the rope, and said, "Little Black, it's time to work." ”
The Panther Beast stepped forward.
Old Man Zheng didn't say a word, cut his finger, squeezed out a drop of blood and sent it to the mouth of the black panther beast.
The black panther beast licked it and turned to Dian Wei.
"Xiao Wei, you just do it."
Old man Zheng mentioned, "This beast can tell if we are human or demonic. ”
Dian Wei's heart quickly understood, and he also gave the black panther beast a drop of blood.
The Panther Beast walked back, checking one by one.
By the time everyone had been checked, more than an hour had passed.
Old man Zheng took the opportunity to inquire: "Brother, why is the city gate closed in broad daylight?" I have the impression that even in the event of a war, the city gates are not closed. ”
Shangyang Jiu sighed: "There are people in the city who are making trouble, I don't know who stole the martial arts secrets of the Shangyang family, and then, that guy actually copied hundreds of copies and distributed them on a large scale.
There was no choice but to close the city gates and collect all the secrets.
However, after someone got the secret tips, he escaped from the city in time, and it is estimated that he is being chased and killed by a master outside. ”
Old Man Zheng and Dian Wei couldn't help but look at each other.
Subsequently, Shangyang Jiu confirmed that there were no demons lurking in the escort team, and let him go.
Merfolk rush into the city!
The prosperity of the city is also beyond imagination, the wide and clean horse racing avenue, the classical and elegant pavilions, and the scattered urban layout are all grand and solemn.
Not to mention people!
There are too many people, and they are intertwined.
This giant city may be inhabited by tens of millions of people!
"It seems that I underestimated the level of productivity in this world." Dian Wei was amazed, even in the ancient prosperous era, there was no such scale of the city, magnificent, and extraordinary.
The escort queue crossed the street and came to the granary.
Old man Zheng handled the handover with ease, and the bags of grain were weighed and sent to the warehouse.
By the time we were done, it was already dark.
"Old rule, you go to the 'Square Inn' two blocks away and stay. After that, everyone can move freely, go to the shop if they want to buy, and play if they want to. Just remember that don't make trouble for me, or I won't be able to spare you. Old man Zheng said to the escort workers.
One asked, "When are we going to return?" ”
Old man Zheng: "This time is different, the city is closed, we have to wait for the lockdown to be lifted first, so there is no hurry." ”
Everyone understood, and they left in droves.
Old man Zheng didn't leave, and pulled Dian Wei to another street.
Dian Wei asked, "Where are we going?" ”
Old man Zheng: "The Sifang Inn is a accommodation point arranged by the Shangyang family for the escort workers, and you can eat and live for free, but the conditions are too poor." Naturally, we have a better place to go. ”
The two came to "Tongchuan Street" and entered a "Golden Tiger Inn".
"Isn't this Elder Zheng, please come in quickly." The innkeeper knew Old Man Zheng and was smiling.
Old man Zheng opened two rooms.
"Xiao Wei, you and I have a first-class room, and two maids are arranged in each room, you can call at will, and order whatever you want to eat, it's all free."
Old man Zheng pointed out, "If you want to go out for a walk, let the maid arrange a carriage for you, don't travel alone, the city is too big, it's easy to get lost, and there are all kinds of rules in the city, it will be very troublesome if you accidentally violate it." ”
Dian Wei nodded: "What about you?" ”
Old man Zheng: "I'm going to meet a few old friends, and by the way, I will do some purchases, and you may not see me in the next few days." ”
Dian Wei is clear.
The two separated, Dian Wei went upstairs and entered the room, and sure enough, two maids came to serve, and they all looked good.
They brought two new sets of clothes, one in pajamas and one in black, made of the finest fabric, smooth and soft to the touch.
The bath water was quickly ready.
Dian Wei Meizi took a bath, and the smell of sweat accumulated on his body was cleaned.
The two maids enthusiastically helped him take a bath and massage, not to mention how refreshing.
At this time, Dian Wei gradually understood that these two maids could sleep together.
