Volume 2 Fucheng Fengyun Chapter 32 Entering Xiangyang Fucheng for the first time
On the second day, Ji Xiaowu and the others got up early, packed up, and prepared to go, and they could reach Fucheng in a day or two.
From this town to the north, there will be a mountain range from time to time, and it will no longer be a very monotonous plain, passing through mountains and flowing water, there will be no ambushes and waves along the way, and finally come to the area of Fucheng safely.
Looking at the north from afar, I saw a narrow black shadow in the sky, and everyone asked in amazement what it was, the captain of the guard had come to the city before, and said with a smile: "Look at the world, you haven't seen the world, that is the city wall of Xiangyang Mansion." β
Everyone was amazed, as a person from a small area like Fenglong Mountain, it was the first time to see such a majestic city wall. It can't help but be shocking.
From far to near, this city wall slowly came into the eyes of everyone, only to see a majestic and majestic black city across in front of everyone, the height of the city wall alone reached dozens of zhang, the whole body was made of black stone bricks, and a wild breath came to the face.
Ji Xiaowu is also the first time to see such a towering city wall, just this city wall supports the name of the city, slowly the team walked outside the city, more and more feel that the city wall is tall and unattainable, looking at the city wall outside the city wall There is a wide moat, the city gate in the middle of the moat is tall and towering, there are many people and horse teams waiting outside the city, lining up to enter the city in turn, there is a bunch of black-armored soldiers guarding the city gate is checking one by one, a flag is erected in the middle of this group of soldiers fluttering in the wind, and there is a big golden character on it: Li.
The short pavilion outside the city gate Ji Xuwei has long been waiting here with the Ji family's clansmen, since Ji Xiaowu and they set off to inform the Ji family here in the city, counting the days and waiting here, the clan families in various regions have business contacts in the city, one is to earn money and resources, and more importantly, to obtain the information of the city, for example, the importance of the Han family's intelligence this time, has it won the soul condensing grass for the Ji and Han families?
The geographical resources of Fucheng are limited, so Fucheng stipulates that non-Fucheng clans and official student clans of the academy shall not build more than 100 zhang. As a result, clans in various regions could not move to the capital city for no reason, and of course there were not so many places for them to live, so they could only buy it and build a small courtyard for individual business purposes.
And it is Ji Xuwei who is in charge of the business of the Ji family's Fucheng, Ji Xuwei is not good at cultivation, but he is quite talented in business, and he takes care of the Ji family's business in Fucheng in an orderly manner, and he has a lot of prestige in his line as the leader of a side branch.
Today he rushed to the short pavilion outside the city gate early, waiting for Ji Xiaowu and their arrival, the side branch did not dare to slack off easily for the main lineage clansmen, even if he treated Ji Rongrong who had no father and mother, he only dared to look at him coldly, and did not dare to be embarrassed in action, this involves the word rules, this is the unspoken rule of various clans, not to mention the eldest son of the main line, although Li Yu has very little action on the table of the Ji family, it does not affect her status in the Ji family at all, even Ji Chengliang is respectful to Li Yu in public, so no one in the entire Ji family dares to look down on Li Yuγ
The short pavilion is a famous place for visitors to rest and say goodbye to Xiangyang Mansion, Ji Xiaowu they arrived at the short pavilion to see Ji Xuwei and them, stopped the footsteps of the team, Li Yu took Ji Xiaowu and Ji Rongrong off the carriage, Ji Xuwei took the clan to salute him and said: "Madame has worked hard for a long time." β
Li Yu said with a smile: "You are Ji Xuwei, I often listen to my father in advance of you, the business is doing quite well, this time I also sent the child to study, there is nothing else, or we bother." β
Ji Xuwei didn't know what it meant when he heard this kind of polite words: "Madame, don't worry, these are all people from our Ji family, Xiao Wu, they just need to live here in peace, where can they talk about anything." β
After speaking, Li Yu didn't say anything more, and set off to enter the city, and Ji Xuwei led the way in front of them.
Passing through the deep and dark city gate, the people on both sides of the road saw that it was a carriage pulled by a unicorn, and they avoided it, this kind of unicorn is exclusive to the clan family, either rich or expensive, and ordinary people will not have this kind of treasure.
Ji Xiaowu and Ji Rongrong lifted the curtain and looked outside, from the moment they stepped into the gate of Fucheng, Ji Xiaowu understood, after entering this time, there was no comfort behind him, and there was a whirlpool in front of him, not that you could end it if you wanted to.
Entering the city, the streets are vertical and horizontal, the market is prosperous, the cars and horses come and go endlessly, a wide and tidy, the avenue paved by stone bricks extends straight forward, this avenue is actually three or four zhang wide, all kinds of shouting on both sides of the road are endless, the aroma is fragrant, it is not lively, it is rumored that there are millions of people in Xiangyang Mansion, and I don't know whether it is true or false, this is one of the best in the population of the entire Jizhou Mansion City.
The Ji family team is marching with the flow of people, and suddenly there is a noise in front, only the sound of horses' hooves is heard from far to near, and the crowd in front of them suddenly appears to be in turmoil, all dodging to both sides, only to see a gorgeously dressed young horse lady is also a snow-white unicorn, the unicorn is very miraculous because of its endurance and size, and is quite popular with the human race, so many nobles have the habit of captivity, and slowly become the standard configuration of the clan family, behind this divine horse unicorn followed by several servants on horseback are running wildly on the street, not caring about the crowd at allγ
From far to near, the noble boy ran wildly, trampled and knocked down by the horses abounded, when people looked up at the noble boy angrily, they were suddenly snuffed out with anger, and they didn't dare to speak, and soon this group of people rushed to Ji Xiaowu's team, without any intention of stopping.
Ji Xiaowu had already heard the noise, lifted the curtain of the car and looked at the scene he saw, and was instantly angry, what kind of person would be so presumptuous, so careless of human life, especially when he saw that there were still children among them, Ji Xiaowu turned over and went straight to the gorgeous young man, and it was too late for Ji Xuwei on the side to stop it.
Ji Xiaowu looked serious, raised his fist and blasted at the unicorn's head, only to hear a click, the unicorn screamed and screamed, and died on the spot, and the gorgeous young man turned over and fell, looked at Ji Xiaowu with angry eyes, and then looked at the carriage behind him, and drank on the spot: "Who gave you the courage to dare to kill my mount, you are dead, you are dead." β
Hearing only the countless cries and screams in the crowd, Ji Xiaowu didn't pay attention to the young man at all, and hurriedly stepped forward to help those injured, especially those children, and asked the guards to take them to the infirmary for treatment.
Ji Xiaowu saw such a tragedy on the first day he entered the city, and his worldview seemed to be washed away.
Some people cry out loud because of the loss of their loved ones, and some people are in pain because of their injuries, but they don't dare to make any angry voices against the teenager, is this power?
The gorgeous young man saw that Ji Xiaowu didn't pay attention to him at all, his white face was red with anger, and he waved a horsewhip and rushed at Ji Xiaowu and drank: "Give it to me, kill him for me." β
Ji Rongrong also wanted to come down to help in the carriage at this time, but was stopped by Li Yu, looking at the scene in front of him, Li Yu said seriously: "Let him come by himself, Xiao Wu will have to face these resentments sooner or later, he is kind by nature and has great ambitions, but he also needs to see the good and evil of human nature and the dangers of this world, he can't live in his ideals forever, he has to let him know the real world." β
When the servants behind the gorgeous young man heard the young master's order, they all pulled out their big knives at their waists, sharpened their knives and rushed towards Ji Xiaowu.
Ji Xiaowu saw these evil servants rushing up, and his resentment was vented on these people, just now these people were also riding tall horses in the crowd, and these people were also full of evil.
Instantly pulled out the treasure knife on his waist, Ji Xiaowu felt that his hands were dirty with his fists, the blade pointed at the comer, only to see the afterimage flickering, the knife light changed, this group of evil servants can deal with ordinary people, Ji Xiaowu who is in the upper realm is not an opponent at all, just when Ji Xiaowu slashed a few evil servants, a sword with cold light stabbed over the gap when everyone didn't pay attention.
Ji Xiaowu, who has always sensed the Quartet, has already seen this in his eyes, and put the knife on his back with his backhand, only to see this sword stabbed, and when it sounded, sparks burst out.
