Chapter Twenty-Four: The Night Capital City
The next morning, as soon as the sun rose, Li Xuanyuan and a few people got up, simply asked for a few dishes, and after the tea and dinner were full, they wanted to set off. Who knows, Tan Youruo slept like a dead pig, and when it came to the appointed time, he still didn't wake up. And Li Xuanyuan and the others were embarrassed to wake up Tan Youruo, so they simply asked for a pot of tea and prepared to wait.
But waiting, waiting, it's almost noon, and Tan Youruo still hasn't woken up. In view of the hurry, let the Arowana wake up Tan Youruo, after all, men and women do not kiss.
The Arowana came to Tan Youruo's room, and saw that Tan Youruo was sleeping on all fours, so he couldn't get angry. Because yesterday. I had already made an appointment to leave at what time. But Tan Youruo, the sun is three poles, and they haven't woken up yet, so they waited for hours in vain. So simply, spit out a large blister and threw it directly at Tan Youruo's face.
The big blister directly scared Tan Youruo, and scared Tan Youruo's sleepiness away.
Looking at the water dripping from the top of his head, looking at the Arowana who was stealing fun next to him, Tan Youruo thought with his heels, he knew who did it. said that it was too late, and Tan Youruo jumped out of bed directly and caught the arowana.
And Arowana had already guessed Tan Youruo's thoughts, so he easily avoided it. also said with a wicked smile: "See for yourself, how long has it been since the agreed time." So I'll help you wash your face, after all, everyone has been waiting for you for so long, can you save some time! See for yourself, how fast you get up, wipe your face, and you're basically gone! ”
"See for yourself, how do I go? Don't you know, I'm just wearing this dress? I'm like a water ghost now, how do I go? Do you really want me to make you into boiled fish? Tan Youruo said with a resentful face. Really, just like the current face, more like a female ghost than that female ghost.
"Hey, why are you angry, this is not simple." After the Arowana finished speaking, as soon as the small mouth was forced, Tan Youru's body was sucked by the Arowana, and his whole body became a lot drier!
But Arowana coughed and asked, "Grandma, how long have you not taken a bath, this water smells!"
Tan Youruo thought for a while and said, "It didn't take long! It's from the moment you realize it! ”
When the Arowana heard this, he almost didn't vomit out his lungs.
Seeing Tan Youruo go downstairs, everyone was ready to go. Because they were in a hurry, a few people ate lunch in the carriage. And Li Xuanyuan, while driving the carriage, was eating dry food. He looked at the sun, calculated the journey again, and said to Chengfeng: "It is estimated that before evening, we will be able to reach the night capital!" When you get there, you go to the mansion where I live first, and I will go to the pavilion master first and talk about the past few days. After all, what happened in the past few days is too strange, so it is better to find out sooner rather than later, the sooner the better. ”
Hearing Li Xuanyuan's words, Chengfeng said: "Uncle Shi, it's good that you are busy with yours, I can just go shopping by myself!"
"How can that be. If your master knows, don't blame me to death! Jing Ze, come over for a moment. Then he pointed to the man who came on horseback and said, "There have been so many things for so many days, and I forgot to introduce them to you." This is my youngest son, named Li Jingze. You should be the same age as you. Wait until the night and let him accompany you around. After all, in the night capital, there is a mixture of fish and dragons, and there are everyone. With him, some trouble can be avoided. Moreover, there are places where you can't get in without him. Besides, the night is very big, what if you go out and can't find a home? He is very familiar with the night, and he can find it wherever you want to go. You're welcome, that's it. ”
Then he turned back to Li Jingze and said, "Jingze, this is the apprentice of the second uncle you have never met." When it comes to the night capital, these days, I will trouble you to take them and walk around. Your second uncle has never married a wife or had children, and he is still this precious apprentice, so you have to take good care of it! If you slack off, I'm the only one to ask. As for me, I won't say much, it's the first time you've met, so let's talk about it as young people. After speaking, he asked Li Jingze to drive the carriage, and he rode a horse to explore the way.
On Chengfeng's side, no matter who is older, he said directly: "Senior brother, during this time, please take care of me!" After speaking, I didn't forget to clench my fists with both hands. And the senior brother of Chengfeng is also useful. After all, calling Senior Brother first not only elevates the other party, gives the other party enough face, but also makes the other party feel that he is very sensible and humble. This trick is preemptive, and it kills multiple birds with one stone: first, go out to eat, drink and have fun, as a senior brother, don't treat too much! Secondly, in and out of the precious land, he is not familiar with the place, let him accompany him to go around more, not too much! Finally, as a junior brother, it is not too much to ask for some gifts from senior brother!
Thinking of this, Chengfeng thinks that this senior brother is too worthwhile.
And Li Jingze, where did he think of this, no matter what, his father has already explained, and looking at Chengfeng, he is so humble and polite, so he also said modestly: "It's all a family, what's polite!" By the way, my second uncle, he is an old man, and his health is fine! ”
"Senior brother, don't worry, my master is an old man, and he is in good health!" Actually, after thinking about the beggar-like master who was dressed like a beggar, it seemed that he really didn't know what else to say except for being in good health.
Hearing this, Li Jingze smiled and said, "That's good." I've always listened to my father talk about my second uncle, so I've always wanted to meet my second uncle! ”
"Don't worry, there will be a chance!" Chengfeng said.
Li Jingze nodded and said, "When it comes to the night capital, I will take you to Xiyue Zhai in the main city first, and have a full meal, just as I will wash the dust for the two of you." After dinner, I'm taking you around the city. After all, the night capital at night is the most lively. ”
"Then trouble Senior Brother Jingze!" ”
"My own family, what's polite!"
Then, Chengfeng and Li Jingze started talking, and Tan Youruo would occasionally talk about it.
Before the sun set, several people came to the night capital.
And as soon as I saw the seclusion and riding the wind of the night capital, I was impressed by the grandeur of the night capital. This night, I don't know how much bigger it is than Qingzhou City, anyway, I can't see the edge at a glance.
The night capital seems to be built on a mountain. The buildings in the castle stretch from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain. And the more you get to the top of the mountain, the bigger the building, the grander, the more magnificent.
Tan Youruo and Chengfeng, from Li Jingze's mouth, know that the night capital is divided into three parts, which are the outer city, the inner city, and the main city.
The outer city is that anyone can enter and exit, and the transactions, auctions, etc., of the Diwan Pavilion will be in the outer city. So basically most of the things you need can be bought in the outer city.
The inner city is a place where the people of the Nine Gates live and live, build divine weapons, and refine herbs under the Diwan Pavilion. Therefore, it is basically forbidden for outsiders to enter, unless some people with special status, or special needs, can enter.
And the main city is where the pavilion master, Zhuge Chongshan and the people of the Ten Gates, live. The people here are basically their family members, and it is basically impossible for outsiders to come in.
Before entering the night capital, Tan Youruo thought that there would be a scene of crowding, fighting, and thieves inside, after all, the people here are too mixed, basically including the entire continent and people from all places. Therefore, differences in culture, temperament, diet, etc., will cause some contradictions.
But after entering, although there was a lot of traffic inside, there was a lot of people. But there was no such thing as an imaginary scene. Although there are all kinds of people on the street, there are different costumes, but it is still relatively harmonious.
Although she was curious about everything, Tan Youruo still followed the pace of the large army and headed towards the inner city. As I walked, I didn't forget to look around.
The group traveled all the way and soon came to the inner city.
As soon as he entered the gate of the inner city, a few strange birds flew over and chirped: "The young pavilion master is back!" The Young Pavilion Master is back! ”
Then I saw a bunch of people and looked at them. After Zhuge Mingze greeted everyone, he continued to walk towards the main city. And Tan Youruo, her eyes have been looking at the birds. Because Tan Youruo thought it was a spiritual pet raised by Di Wan Pavilion or something, but if you look closely, those birds are actually made of wood. Tan Youruo broke his head, and he didn't expect that a bird made of wood could not only fly, but also speak human language. If it weren't for the fact that there were so many people, Tan Youruo would have liked to grab one and take a closer look.
Li Jingze saw that Tan Youruo was so curious about those birds made of wood, so he explained to him: "This is a wood spirit bird made by Master Lu himself. Don't look at him as a small one, it looks simple. That's because Master Lu wasted a lot of effort to make so many of them. Master Lu, but the most powerful craftsman in the Diwan Pavilion is the descendant of Lu Ban, the originator of craftsmen. The structure, mechanism, defense, etc., of the Diwan Pavilion are also from the hands of Master Lu. However, even if the temper is not very good, sometimes, the pavilion master does not give face. Maybe these talented people have a weird temper! ”
"Senior Brother Jingze, you said that if I stole a ......"
Before Tan Youruo finished speaking, Li Jingze looked at Tan Youruo in disbelief and said, "Miss Tan, this kind of thing, just think about it, don't do it." Otherwise, Master Lu will lose his temper, and even my father will probably not be able to protect you! ”
Seeing Li Jingze so flustered, Tan Youruo immediately smiled and said, "Just kidding, Senior Brother Jingze, don't be so nervous!"
Tan Youruo said so, but his eyes never left those birds.
Although Zhuge Mingze led the way in front, he still felt the sudden change in Li Jingze's expression, which also made Zhuge Mingze curious, what could make Li Jingze, a well-known son of Di Wange who was not concerned about everything, change his expression greatly. Although curious, Zhuge Mingze still pretended not to hear, still straightened up, his eyes were blazing, and he strode towards the main city. After all, here, countless pairs of eyes look at themselves, no matter what they do, they still have to pretend, not as casual as outside.
It didn't take long for a few people to arrive in the main city, and Li Xuanyuan explained a few words, and then went to the council hall alone. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhuge Mingze asked Li Jingze about what happened just now. Listening to Li Jingze's words, Zhuge Mingze also broke out in a cold sweat on his head, pulled Li Jingze, and said: "Although I am not familiar with her, after a few days of contact, I think she is absolutely capable of doing this." So during this time, I'm sorry for you, Jing Ze, don't stop her! Master Lu's temper, you know, if he starts to go crazy, we really won't be able to eat and leave! ”
After listening to Zhuge Mingze's words, Li Jingze also said with peace of mind: "Young Pavilion Master, for the sake of safety, let's send a few secret piles, I'm afraid that I'll make a mistake!"
Tan Youruo and Chengfeng, looking at Zhuge Mingze and Li Jingze, muttered on the side, and wondered, but they were not embarrassed to ask. After all, people deliberately carried them behind their backs, and there must be reasons for someone's family.
After a while, Zhuge Mingze and Tan Youruo said goodbye, after all, they had just returned home, and they still had to go to their mother's place to have a look.
Seeing that the young pavilion master was gone, Li Jingze took Tan Youruo and rode the wind to Xiyuezhai in the main city, after all, when he was full, he would have the strength to wander!
When he arrived at Xiyue Zhai, Li Jingze ordered a table of dishes, which made Tan Youruo, who was a foodie, have green eyes. Fortunately, there are a few people in a small private room, otherwise the appearance of eating will definitely be unforgettable.
When he was full of wine and food, and when he was going to take advantage of Tan Youruo, Li Jingze looked at Chengfeng and said, "Chengfeng, I hope you don't have to worry too much!" The reason why the young pavilion master and I were talking quietly just now was because Miss Tan wanted to steal a wood spirit bird. And the young pavilion master was worried that Miss Tan would really do this, so he quietly told me. After all, this wood spirit bird is Master Lu's favorite thing, and sometimes when others touch it, it makes him feel distressed, let alone stolen! You just came, I don't know Master Lu. Master Lu is a person, there is absolutely no problem, but his temper is very weird. Therefore, the people of Diwan Pavilion have a saying, that is, they would rather offend the pavilion master than offend Master Lu. Because I offended Master Lu, I don't know when, Master Lu will invent something, trick you, you can't prevent it! ”
Actually, Chengfeng didn't care at all, and he wasn't the kind of person who was cranky, so he said very simply: "Senior Brother Jingze, you are too worried, in fact, I really didn't think much about it." But, to be honest, you really had to guard against her, with what I know about her, she might really be able to do it! ”
Listening to Chengfeng's words, Li Jingze smiled and said, "Young Pavilion Master, I think so too!"
As soon as he said this, Tan Youruo came back with a big grin. Seeing that the two were chatting so energetically, he asked, "What are you talking about, so energetic?" Tell me about it? ”
Seeing that Tan Youruo was back, the two glanced at each other, and said in the wind: "Senior Brother Jingze, since you have finished eating, you should take the two of us around!" Just now, along the way, there are many places that I want to see! ”
Hearing Chengfeng say this, Li Jingze also said with a little embarrassment: "Of course you can, now is the most lively time in the night capital!"
Seeing that the two of them were a little mysterious, if they guessed, the two of them didn't hold back any good fart. But I'm too embarrassed to ask, so I can only follow the two of them. Thinking about how lively it was outside for a while, Tan Youruo became happy from the bottom of her heart.
The three of them went to the street, basically walked all over the lively streets of the city, and of course, they also bought a bunch of relatively strange items, such as stinky fart pills, it is said that during the development, one accidentally exploded, and most of the people in the research workshop were fainted. The rest of the point was escaped because it was close to the door. Its taste is not something that normal people can bear; Thousands of miles of charms, which are attached to the legs, can make people travel thousands of miles a day, for the two people who are weak and have poor physical strength, they are not suitable; Nightwear, as long as you put it on, in the dark, he will automatically change to match his surroundings. Of course, this was bought by Tan Youruo, although Chengfeng and Zhuge Mingze repeatedly blocked it, they still didn't stop Tan Youruo, who emptied his belongings in order to buy night clothes.
Since Tan Youruo bought night clothes, Chengfeng and Li Jingze can't eat well or sleep well. In order to prevent Tan Youruo, Li Jingze simply moved to the guest room, and said that he was to accompany the younger brother Chengfeng who had never met.
And at night, the two of them, feeling light, a little wind and grass, both of them will go out to see, afraid that Tan Youruo will take advantage of the dark moon and high wind, and they can't think about it, so they will steal the wood spirit bird.
After a few days of calm, seeing Tan Youruo, out of eating, drinking, and sleeping, the two of them also relaxed a little. As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves. In the past few days, the two of them have deeply experienced the feeling of day and night prevention, and it is difficult to prevent house thieves!
Although Chengfeng is not guarding against day and night, he still doesn't dare to relax his vigilance, because he doesn't want to cause any trouble for Li Xuanyuan in the night capital city!
Although a few days passed peacefully, one night Tan Youruo, although he didn't steal the wood spirit bird, but he really scared Chengfeng.
