Ye Lian saw Li Zijia kneeling beside him suddenly, a little confused, and was stunned for a few seconds.

"What are you doing, get up. Ye Lian hurriedly stepped forward to help him.

"Please grant me a request!" Li Zijia took Ye Lian's outstretched hand and knelt on the ground, with firmness in her eyes.

"What request? I can do it for you. ”

"I want to be by your side, and I can be a servant. Li Zijia raised her head and looked at Ye Lian, looking very eager for Ye Lian's consent.

"What?" Ye Lian was a little surprised.

Li Zijia was a little disappointed when she saw Ye Lian's surprised expression.

"No, how can you be my servant!" Ye Lian's tone was very firm. The disappointment in Li Zijia's eyes became even stronger.

"Do you really want to wander with me?" Ye Lian looked at Li Zijia's eyes seriously and asked.

"Well, I want to get out of here!" Li Zijia replied after thinking for a while. The expression is equally serious.

"That's good!" After speaking, Ye Lian turned around and knelt there with Li Zijia.

"Then let's be brothers of the opposite sex, and we will take this heaven and earth as proof. Ye Lian said.

Li Zijia was shocked when he heard Ye Lian's words, he had nothing, he was destitute, Ye Lian actually wanted to bow down to him! This made him feel unreal as if he was in a dream. He turned his head to look at Ye Lian, but saw that Ye Lian's expression was serious, not joking. Li Zijia's nose was sour, and she was very moved. Since the great changes in his family, no one has ever been as sincere to him as Ye Lian.

"At this time, here, I, Ye Lian, am willing to marry Li Zijia as brothers of the opposite sex, sharing blessings and difficulties. I don't want to be born on the same day and month of the same year, but I want to die on the same day and month of the same year, if I violate this oath, I won't die well!" Ye Lian didn't know what to say, so she casually said a few words she wanted to say. turned his head to look at Li Zijia, and found that he was stunned, his eyes were a little red. Seeing Ye Lian looking at him, Li Zijia relieved herself, took a deep breath, and followed.

"At this time, here, I, Li Zijia, am willing to marry Ye Lian as brothers of the opposite sex, sharing blessings and difficulties. I don't want to be born on the same day and month of the same year, but I want to die on the same day and month of the same year, if you violate this oath, you won't die well!"

Ye Lian and Li Zijia glanced at each other, smiled at each other, and helped each other to stand up.

"I'm sixteen," Li Zijia continued.

"I'll call you Zijia in the future!" Ye Lian said with a smile.

"Big brother!"

"Hmm"

Ye Lian and Li Zijia became brothers, sat together and chatted a lot, Ye Lian told Li Zijia his life experience without reservation, causing Li Zijia to sigh.

............

The sun was shining high, and it was noon in the blink of an eye.

Ye Lian sat in the courtyard, raised her right hand in front of her face, and her fingers held the jade pendant related to his background. Li Zijia sat next to Ye Lian.

"I didn't expect my eldest brother's background to be so bizarre. But I believe that the eldest brother will find his biological parents one day. Li Zijia sat on the side and listened to Ye Lian's words and spoke.

"The future is unpredictable, let's take one step at a time!" Ye Lian put the jade pendant in her hand close to her body and stood up.

"Where is Big Brother going?"

"I'm going to go to Tianzhong City to find the Zhenguo Gong, and I have been entrusted with a letter for him. ”

"I'll go with you. ”

"Okay, we can both have a look after each other along the way. ”

Li Zijia saw that Ye Lian agreed, and smiled happily. This is Li Zijia's first inward-looking smile in several years!

............

In front of a private house, Li Zijia and Ye Lian stood side by side, Li Zijia was holding a torch in his hand, and the flames on it were burning vigorously.

"Do you really have to burn?" Smelt asked.

"Well, I'll never come back!" Li Zijia said with certainty, but if you look closely, you will find that there is still a trace of reluctance in her eyes. Li Zijia turned his head and threw the torch into the house, which was already full of haystacks, and the fire burned all of a sudden.

Li Zijia and Ye Lian stood outside the door and watched, until the fire burned down the house, and then turned to leave.

............

Qingfeng Town is located between two mountains, isolating the east and west, connecting the north and the south. The road to the north is very wide, and it goes directly to the capital Tianzhong City. To the north of Qingfeng Town is an endless plain with fertile land. Although this plain only accounts for about one-fifth of the total area of Changping County, it supports nearly half of the county's population.

At this moment, on the ancient road of the plain, a carriage is hurrying. Both sides of the ancient road are lined with verdant ancient trees.

"How long will it take to get to Xiliang City?" A voice came out of the carriage, and I saw that the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a young man poked his head out of it and looked at the coachman of the carriage. The young man is fourteen or fifteen years old, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and he is very handsome.

"Do you see the woods on both sides? After this woods, you can see Xiliang City, it is quite spectacular! You will be surprised when you see it. The coachman who drove the horse did not twist his head.

The boy thanked him and shrank back into the carriage, the curtain falling, blocking everything in the carriage.

"Big brother, we're going to be there soon. Inside the carriage, the young man's voice rang out again.

"Well, this is the last castle I passed through on the way to Celestial City. We've learned a lot along the way. Another unfamiliar voice sounded, as if in response to the boy's words.

I saw two teenagers sitting opposite each other in the carriage, and the one on the left was the teenager who asked for directions just now. The boy opposite him was slightly older, about fifteen or sixteen years old.

These two teenagers are the two Ye Lian who have traveled all the way! Ye Lian has not changed much, and the biggest change is Li Zijia. Now that Li Zijia has been cleaned, not only has revealed her original handsome appearance, but the sadness between her eyebrows is much less. It looks cheerful and sunny.

Ye Lian and the two chatted without a word, and through contact in a short period of time, Ye Lian and Li Zijia became more aware of each other.

About a moment later, the neighing of the horses pulling the carriage was heard in the carriage. Presumably, the carriage driver stopped the horse.

Ye Lian and Li Zijia opened the curtain and looked out, and couldn't help but be taken aback.

At the end of the eye, a huge city sits on the plain in the distance like a giant beast. The city wall glows with a cold blue light from a distance, and you can't see the end of the city wall when you look left and right, as if it is connected to the sky.

Ye Lian also passed several cities along the way, but none of them were so huge and magnificent.

This Xiliang City is the third largest city in our Empire! Second only to the capital Tianzhong City and the border fortress city Tianshui City adjacent to the Wenfeng Empire. It's bustling inside!" The coachman smiled when he saw Ye Lian and the others stunned.

"Sit down, it's still a few miles to the wall!" said the groom, flicking his whip, and continuing on his way.

Ye Lian and the others sat back in their seats, but the look of surprise on their faces could not be concealed.

After another half of the incense time, Ye Lian felt that the outside was gradually noisy, and when she opened the curtain to see, she saw that Xiliang City was getting closer and closer, and on the plains outside the city, there were more and more characters of all colors, all running to the gate of Xiliang City. The scene was spectacular.

Soon, Ye Lian and the others arrived at the city, and after the coachman put Ye Lian and the others down, he drove away in the carriage.

Ye Lian stood under the city gate, looking at the 100-meter-high city wall, a sense of inferiority spontaneously arose, and she sighed at her own insignificance.

Ye Lian took Li Zijia to follow the flow of people to the city gate, and outside the city gate, there were two soldiers in armor standing on both sides, tall and arrogant. No one dares to make a mistake here, although there are many people, but it does not seem chaotic at all.

Ye Lian looked at the two soldiers standing at the gate of the city, and was secretly shocked at a glance, because he couldn't even see the depth of these two sergeants! This means that these two sergeants have also practiced the lowest martial arts to the realm of innate perfection! Such a person actually came to guard the city gate, Ye Lian couldn't help but feel that there was fear of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in Xiliang City.

There was no danger, Ye Lian and the others entered Xiliang City safely.

Xiliang City is extremely prosperous, dancing and singing, busy with traffic, the air is really noisy, and the strange buildings rise from the ground, but they are scattered and orderly. The store is full of customers. The streets are wide enough to accommodate several horse-drawn carriages at the same time.

Ye Lian and the others were shocked by the prosperity of Xiliang City and were speechless for a long time. Finally, Ye Lian was the first to come back to her senses and patted Li Zijia, who was in shock.

"Let's go, let's go to the Letone Money House to exchange some silver. Ye Lian couldn't help but sigh that Wang Peng was generous that day, and it only cost him less than fifty taels for so many days to give him a thousand pieces of silver.

Li Zijia also recovered from the shock, but her face looked very excited.

Xiliangcheng is really very big, Ye Lian and the two turned for two hours and did not find where the Litong Money Zhuang is, and finally consulted a local to find a branch of the Li Tong Money Bank in Xiliang City.

At this time, Ye Lian and the others were standing outside the door of this branch of Li Tong Bank, and they were surprised, because this branch was even bigger than the main store that Ye Lian had seen in other cities. It looks like an attic and is five stories high. A huge plaque with four large golden characters printed on it 'UBI Bank' can be seen from afar. Qianzhuang covers an area of thousands of square meters, and according to the local, there are as many as four or five such branches in Xiliangcheng.

As soon as Ye Lian and the others walked in from the main entrance, a person dressed as a small servant ushered Ye Lian and the others into a separate room. The room is not large, only tens of square meters of open space, and there is a counter in the middle position, behind which a middle-aged man in a robe is sitting on a chair and drinking tea. The middle-aged man saw Ye Lian and the others come in, put down the teacup, and stood up. The little maid led Ye Lian and the others to the ground, turned around and exited the room.

"What are the two little brothers doing here? or take money?" the middle-aged man asked with a smile, without a hint of contempt in his eyes because of the young age of Ye Lian and the others.

"I'm tired of Mr. Lao, we're here to get the money. Ye Lian said politely. After speaking, he handed over a hundred taels of money ticket.

The middle-aged man accepted the money ticket, and soon exchanged it for cash and handed it to Ye Lian.

"Little brother isn't a local, right? I don't hear your accent, are you here to participate in the Hundred Treasures Fair in Xiliang City?" the middle-aged man asked casually.

"What is that?" Ye Lian said curiously.

"Don't you know the little brother?!" the middle-aged man looked surprised. Seeing that Ye Lian shook his head, the middle-aged man continued: "This Hundred Treasures will be a grand event that my Litong Qian Zhuang and several other forces have held in this Xiliang City every three years, and there will be many treasure auctions, low-price auctions, and high-priced ones. The ones sold are some rare treasures, which are rare to see. The next Treasure Club will begin, and the auction will be held for seven consecutive days. The little brother has nothing to do, so he might as well open his eyes. The location is in the main hall of my Litong Money Village in this Xiliang City. ”

Ye Lian thanked her, thinking that she might as well go to see the world when the time comes. Turning and walking towards the door, he was about to leave.

Suddenly, Ye Lian thought of something again, turned around and walked towards the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man couldn't help but be a little curious when he saw Ye Lian preparing to leave and return.

"Are there any martial arts techniques sold at the auction?" Ye Lian asked.

"There have been previous editions, and this one should be. ”

Li Zijia, who was waiting at the door, couldn't help but be shocked when she heard Ye Lian's question and the middle-aged man's answer.

(There is something to do tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, forgive me for two days and one day)
