Chapter Ninety-Three: Heavenly City
On the letter, Zhou Yun had already told Lin Junyao the time of arrival in the capital and the contact information at that time, and after making detailed arrangements, Zhou Yun was finally ready to leave.
In an ordinary small courtyard in Pingliang City, Zhou Yun and the others had already gathered together.
"Childe, this is a carriage, it is ready, this carriage is of high quality, there are two rooms in the front and rear, and they do not disturb each other. I also had dry food and fresh water ready and loaded in the car. Walking to Zhou Yun's side, Zhang Hao spoke respectfully to Zhou Yun.
There is a carriage parked in the courtyard of the small courtyard at this moment, this carriage seems to be larger than ordinary carriages, but it does not look luxurious and conspicuous on the outside, but it is a little dilapidated, this is also Zhang Hao's thoughts, he knows that Zhou Yun's actions this time do not want to be too conspicuous.
"Well, you did a good job in this matter, you have these golden tickets in your hands, and after you arrive in Beijing, you will try to open up the situation in the lower echelons as soon as possible, it is best to set up a shop and do some small business casually, and try to make more friends with people from all walks of life, don't care too much about money." Nodding with satisfaction, Zhou Yun waved his hand, took out a large stack of golden tickets from the space ring and handed it to Zhang Hao.
These golden tickets were all searched by Zhou Yun from Han Long's body last time, because he desperately wanted to kill Zhou Yun in that operation, in order to make things easier, Han Long brought almost all the belongings of the Han family, and the golden tickets on his body were 20,000 taels, in the Tianyuan Dynasty, one tael of pure gold can be exchanged for ten taels of silver, and the golden ticket of 20,000 taels of gold can be exchanged for 200,000 taels of silver.
This time, Zhou Yun gave Zhang Hao a one-time golden ticket of 10,000 taels, just to let Zhang Hao quickly open up the situation in the lower class of society after entering Beijing.
Although there are many powerful people in this place of Shangjing, many things that cannot be put on the table still rely on some people of three religions and nine streams to do it, so the underground forces in Shangjing are far more powerful than some other places.
When Zhou Yun first arrived in Beijing, he needed all kinds of news, and it was appropriate to leave these things to someone like Zhang Hao, who was used to the market.
"Childe, this ...... This is too much! Even if you go to collect a shop and inquire about some news, you don't need so much!" Seeing Zhou Yun handing him the golden ticket, Zhang Hao originally thought that there were not many, and he had never seen such a thing as a golden ticket, but when he held it in his hand, he found that there were ten golden tickets of one thousand taels in his hand. I have never seen so much money in my life, and Zhang Hao was even a little frightened.
Smiling slightly, Zhou Yun said, "Shangjing is not as good as other places, the cost of collecting a store is not small, and it also costs money to dredge the relationship." ”
"Childe, do you really trust me so much?" Still a little embarrassed, Zhang Hao spoke nervously.
"There is no doubt about employing people, you can do things with confidence, although the way we got acquainted is not very right, but as long as you follow me with your heart, I will not treat you badly in the future. Glancing at Zhang Hao gently, Zhou Yun spoke slowly.
As soon as Zhou Yun's words fell, Zhang Hao's face immediately changed, and there was a thick color of gratitude in his eyes.
Before being a peripheral disciple of Wanshengmen in Pingliang City, Zhang Hao felt that he had nothing to fight for in his life, at most, he blackmailed ordinary people, discussed the rights and wrongs of some sects with some other peripheral disciples, and waited for death, but now Zhou Yun trusted him so much and gave him a new path, Zhang Hao's gratitude was naturally self-evident.
"Childe, don't worry, I, Zhang Hao, will follow you in my life, and I will never betray. He bowed heavily to Zhou Yun, and Zhang Hao spoke solemnly.
didn't say much, Zhou Yun just patted Zhang Hao's shoulder gently.
At this time, the three members of the Mu family had also walked out of the house, and according to Zhou Yun's instructions, these people also wore relatively ordinary clothes, not in the dress of an adventurous warrior, and Xiao Muyue was slightly ugly, after all, such a beautiful little girl was still somewhat eye-catching.
"Okay, the time is relatively tight, we set off overnight, I don't have much time, I arrived in the capital a day earlier, we can also prepare for the settlement a day earlier. Seeing that everyone had already cleaned up, Zhou Yun immediately spoke up.
"Okay, everything is up to Childe's arrangement. Nodding, Old Man Mu laughed.
Without speaking, Zhou Yun directly got into the small room that opened the door behind the carriage, although he was in a hurry, but Zhou Yun's cultivation still couldn't stop, the capital was full of wind and clouds, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, although Zhou Yun's current cultivation was already very strong, but there was still a faint sense of urgency pushing him.
They all followed Zhou Yun's side, Old Man Mu and the others were also very discerning, Zhou Yun didn't want to talk more, so they naturally wouldn't ask more.
Old man Mu took Xiao Mu to get into the carriage from the front door, and the task of driving the carriage naturally fell on Mu Tie and Zhang Hao.
The two sat on both sides of the front of the carriage, Mu Tie shouted, and the carriage was immediately pulled out of the small courtyard and began to move towards the north.
Sitting in the back space of the carriage, Zhou Yun took out the mysterious piece, meditated, and slowly entered the mysterious space in the piece.
Entering the space, Zhou Yun immediately saw his real abnormal body directly inside the ink.
In this world, there was no need to even deliberately cultivate, just normal breathing, and Zhou Yun's cultivation was already growing steadily.
Without meditating and cultivating, Zhou Yun slowly raised his hands and took on the posture of Vientiane Running Thunder Fist.
The more he cultivated, the more Zhou Yun felt the power of this Vientiane Ben Thunder Boxing, and for Zhou Yun in the tendon training stage, the set of tendon training cheats of Vientiane Ben Thunder Boxing was the most precious.
Standing in the ink-colored space, Zhou Yun began to practice one move at a time according to the essentials of the boxing book.
In the blink of an eye, three days have passed, and in the three days, Zhou Yun has not even left the inky space once, and has been constantly cultivating the Vientiane Thunder Fist.
After that mysterious vein was opened, Zhou Yun's comprehension ability had grown a lot, thinking back to his experience in the second floor of the Shadow Sword Gate Transmission Tower, Zhou Yun began to consciously think about whether he had any mistakes in his movements and power methods when he was cultivating the Vientiane Thunder Fist.
In fact, these things are all connected, with Zhou Yun's current perception and learning ability, in three days, Zhou Yun has corrected many of the original mistakes in cultivation, and the power of Vientiane Ben Thunder Fist has reached a higher level.
Bang bang bang.
In the inky world, Zhou Yun had a hunch that three days should have passed, and the speed of cultivation had gradually slowed down. At this time, the carriage in which Zhou Yun and the others were riding also stopped, and Zhang Hao walked to the back door of the carriage and knocked lightly.
The current Zhou Yun is no longer the kind of situation where he completely loses consciousness once he falls into the ink-colored space, and when he feels someone knocking on the door, Zhou Yun immediately regains his strength and breaks away from the ink-colored world.
"Childe, we have entered the realm of the capital. As soon as he came out of the inky world, Zhou Yun immediately heard Zhang Hao's respectful voice outside the door.
Taking a deep breath, Zhou Yun suddenly felt refreshed, pushed open the door, and Zhou Yun walked down, "Have you arrived?"
Hearing Zhou Yun's voice, Old Man Mu also took Xiao Mu Yue and walked down from the car, after all, Zhou Yun is their master, and the master has already gotten out of the car, if they don't get down, they will be too blind.
"Well, it shouldn't be far away, the capital is in front, you can already see it here, it is estimated that you can enter the city after walking for a quarter of an hour. Pointing to the far end, Zhang Hao leaned over.
Following the direction pointed by Zhang Hao's finger, Zhou Yun also looked at it from afar, and at the far end, a city that looked extremely magnificent also entered Zhou Yun's sight.
This time, Zhou Yun and the others actually walked for three and a half days, and it was early in the morning, and the magnificent city in the distance was still a little hazy.
Looking at the big city in the distance, Zhou Yun's face also showed a smile, "Wangshan runs a dead horse, we can't get there in a quarter of an hour, according to me, it would be good to be able to rush over in two hours." ”
After listening to Zhou Yun's words, Zhang Hao also showed a stunned expression on his face, "Childe, the capital is obviously very close, if you want to walk for two hours, it will be at least forty miles away, there are really forty miles, where can you see it now." ”
Zhang Hao's questioning is probably a common question for all people who come to the capital for the first time, although Zhou Yun is also the first time to the capital, but he has more knowledge than Zhang Hao, and after Lin Junyao's identity was exposed, Zhou Yun also said some interesting things about the capital in the next two letters, and Zhou Yun naturally knew these things.
Looking at the magnificent big city in the distance, Zhou Yundao said, "Little mouse, this capital is also called the Heavenly City, do you know why?"
Touching his head, Zhang Hao guessed, "Isn't Tiancheng?"
Zhang Hao replied like this, Zhou Yun was quite satisfied in his heart, after all, Zhang Hao was just a third-rate gang disciple in a small place, no different from a gangster, it was good to have such an idea.
"Little mouse, this Heavenly City does have a meaning as you said, which means the City of the Son of Heaven. But the more important reason is that this heavenly city really seems to be built in the sky. The outer walls of this city are 55 meters high. For the grandeur of Shangjing, Zhou Yun also had a trace of admiration in his heart, and while watching from a distance, Zhou Yun slowly spoke.
"Fifty-five meters!" Zhou Yun's words made Zhang Hao completely shocked, with his knowledge, he really couldn't imagine what the walls of a city would look like when they reached fifty-five meters.
"Childe, the city wall is fifty-five meters high, aren't the people inside unable to see anything?" With a puzzled face, Zhang Hao couldn't help but ask.
Smiling slightly, Zhou Yun retracted his gaze and said, "Let's go, what is it like, won't you see it when the time comes?" Let's hurry, don't be too fast, we should be able to arrive at noon." Leaving a word, Zhou Yun greeted Old Man Mu with his eyes, and then boarded the carriage instead.
Zhang Hao, who stayed in place, still looked confused, and still had words in his mouth, "Fifty-five meters, how can this be ......?"
