In the afternoon, the carriage drove out of the remnant flower road, and in front of it was Sunset City.

Sunset City is the most remote city in the northwest of the Great Zhou Dynasty, with a population of more than 100,000, which is a fairly large city.

Out of Sunset City, there are no towns within a hundred miles ahead, so businessmen and tourists from the mainland will choose to stay in Sunset City for the night, replenish supplies, and recharge.

At this time, a touch of sunset is like a duck's egg yolk, hanging between the green hills not far away, and a dusk afterglow is sprinkled on the city.

"Ahead is Sunset City, we will rest in the city for a night, tomorrow the foot will be faster, and we will be able to reach the Tianshan Mountains in the afternoon." Yang Xiaoyang said.

"That's fine, after Sunset City, there is no town in front of you. These days have been bumpy and tiring. Zhao Poyu said.

There were six soldiers guarding the city at the gate of the city, and when they saw the wooden horse pulling the cart, they all looked surprised.

Wooden horse-drawn carriages, they are still seeing each other for the first time.

Zhao Poyu took off the waist card from his waist and handed it to Yang Xiaoyang, "This is a waist card, which can be used through the customs clearance road." ”

There is a big word written on the waist card:

"Wait."

There are three small characters of Sanheyi below.

'The chief of the guard of Zhao Huaijie, the commander of the Sanhe Eup, Zhao Poyu. Yang Xiaoyang handed over the waist card as he spoke, and the soldier took it and looked at it, walked to the carriage, and stabbed it with a spear, as if he wanted to see what it was, and then opened the curtain to check.

"This person has scars and a demonic face, who are you and where are you from?"

The soldier asked sharply, and quickly retreated, his eyes glaring like an ox as if he were facing a great enemy.

"Wow."

All the soldiers rushed over, raised their spears, and besieged the carriage and Yang Xiaoyang.

A chieftain-like official came out of the room, a tall and thin man with a shoehorn face, with rat-eyed roe deer, looking extremely treacherous.

I heard him say with a cold face: "There has been a lot of anxiety outside Sunset City recently, there is an order from above, strictly investigate the unknown person, although you two have waist cards as evidence, but your behavior is strange, we don't dare to let you into the city easily." ”

At this time, the sun is about to set, and it is the time when the yin qi is extremely heavy.

If they stay in the wilderness, the haze that permeates the mountains and forests will penetrate and combine with the demonic energy in their bodies, which will further aggravate their injuries.

Yang Xiaoyang squeezed out a kind smile, clenched his fists and said: "My brother and I are from Sanheyi, my brother is contaminated by demonic energy, his life is dying, he needs to go to Tianshan Medicine Valley to seek healing, and I also ask all the officials to be accommodating." ”

As he spoke, he took out some silver coins from a small bag on his waist and handed them to the leader of the officers and soldiers.

The leader took it and weighed it, squinted his eyes at the two of them, and said in a deep voice: "Look at your face and look good, you don't look like a villain, let it go." ”

After speaking, he raised his head slightly and motioned for the soldiers to let them pass.

The soldiers gave way, and Yang Xiaoyang got into the carriage, and before he could take a few steps, he heard the leader shouting, "Slow." ”

Yang Xiaoyang was stunned for a moment, thinking that he was going to do something again.

But I heard the leader say with a smile: "There are a lot of merchants and tourists coming and going in the city, and at this time, the nearby inns are only afraid that they are all full, if you have no place to go, you can go to the inn on the other side of Jigong Bridge." ”

Hearing this, Yang Xiaoyang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and removed his hand from the hilt of the sword, "Thank you for reminding you!" ”

The carriage galloped toward the city.

I found a few inns, but there were no vacant rooms.

In this small frontier town, the inn's business is indeed extremely hot.

Equally popular are brothels.

A short walk away, you can see a red lantern hanging in front of the door, almost staggered with the inn.

Many of the merchants who live in the surrounding inns will go to the brothel at night.

Yang Xiaoyang drove along the street, although it was late, there were still many pedestrians on the street.

Located in a remote town, the people in the city have a foreign style of dress, and the women's clothes are extremely brightly colored.

And men, most of them have swords stuck in their waists, and they have a brutal face.

It can be seen that the management of this small town is not strict.

Yang Xiaoyang inquired all the way to Jigong Bridge, this place is about to leave Sunset City, and the location is also very remote, if no one reminds him, I am afraid it will be difficult to find.

On the edge of the bridge, there is indeed an inn.

It's just that there are two red lanterns hanging above the door of the inn, emitting a dark and ambiguous light.

This is not like a restaurant station, but like a brothel in red mansions, but the word "inn" is written.

Yang Xiaoyang parked the carriage at the door and went down to knock on the door.

"Here we go!"

After a while, a delicate voice sounded inside, just two words, but it was shouted tactfully and long, with coquettish anger.

Yang Xiaoyang couldn't help but get goosebumps.

I wanted to drive away.

Anyway, I have already entered the city, so it is better to spend the night in the carriage and save some trouble.

Just about to leave, I heard the person behind me shouting: "Hey, it's all here, what are you doing and leaving?" ”

A woman in Tsing Yi appeared at the door, holding a lantern in her hand, illuminating the little face that was not powdered, but delicate and lovely.

"Hey, you're the elder brother of the Yang family?"

The young woman saw the driver clearly and exclaimed.

Seeing Yang Xiaoyang's confused eyes, he smiled and said, "It's me, Song Lian'er!" ”

Hearing this name, Yang Xiaoyang suddenly remembered that it was not just their family in Qingshui Lake many years ago.

There is another farmer not far away, a family of three, the girl is named Song Lian'er, she is smart and handsome, and she has a good relationship with Yang Xiaoyang.

Later, the farmer was bitten by a poisonous snake and died tragically at home, and his wife, perhaps afraid of seeing things and thinking about people, left with her daughter.

I haven't heard from me again, and I didn't expect to meet here.

When he met his old friend, Yang Xiaoyang was also a surprise in his heart.

Looking at it carefully, Song Lian'er vaguely has the appearance of the past, but she is just the eighteenth change of the female university, and she did not recognize it for a while.

"Song Lian'er, it's really you." Yang Xiaoyang said with a smile.

The scenes of the hour flashed in my mind, and I suddenly had a warm feeling in my heart.

"Yes, Brother Yang, it's such a coincidence that we can meet here, where is my brother going?" Song Lian'er smiled brightly.

"I took my brother to Tianshan Mountain to heal, passing by here, the inns in front of me are full, and I can only stay here for one night."

After speaking, he carried Zhao Poyu down from the carriage and was about to go inside, but he heard Song Lian'er say anxiously, "Brother, you better go and stay elsewhere!" ”

Yang Xiaoyang was slightly stunned, seeing that Song Lian'er's expression was full of worry, and asked, "There are no more rooms in the inn?" ”

"There's a vacant room, it's just..." Song Lian'er wanted to speak and stopped, as if there was something unspeakable.

"If there is a vacant house, why stop it?" Yang Xiaoyang was puzzled, and said with a smile: "You won't turn us away and sleep on the streets at night, right?" ”

"It's not safe here." Song Lian'er said in a very small voice, and when she said this, she also peeked into the courtyard, looking flustered.
