Chapter 155: Imperial City

After leaving from Gongsun Shi, Dongzhang rushed to the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, Lin'an Mansion.

Because the Xuantie Sword is still being reforged in Gongsun Shi's hands, it is a sword with a cold light temporarily pinned to Dongzhang's current waist, and the Qingfeng Sword is lonely and defeated.

After leaving for nearly a year, the dragon girl and their current kung fu should have been on the trajectory, when they left the ancient tomb, the little dragon girl had already practiced the sword moves of the jade girl Su Xin Sword, only Xiao Yao or Xiao Qing practiced the inner strength of the Jade Girl Heart Sutra to help the dragon girl cultivate and perfect her Jade Girl Heart Sutra internal strength, these all take time, and when she goes back, even if the dragon girl has not practiced the Jade Girl Heart Sutra to the end, she must not be able to practice it to the end.

Then I can try the Qingfeng sword in my hand at this time, to see if it can really compare to the two swords in the Valley of Despair, and it also happens to give her a blade to take advantage of, a good blade must only be high or low in terms of combat power, not only her, but the two sisters Dongzhang naturally want to have one each.

Half a month later, Lin'an City, which was later known as Hangzhou.

Unlike other cities, there are a lot of foreign faces here, that is, the ancients called the Hu people, a blonde and blue-eyed Hu people who trade here, they brought pearl agate here in exchange for our many silks and antiquities, and then returned to their hometowns to sell the silk and other things at a high price to make a profit.

Although he was also a little curious about whether they were speaking the English taught in the later texts, Dongzhang knew that he didn't have time to care about anything else now, and the most important thing at the moment was to quickly find the materials and return to the Snake Valley, and besides, his loose English should not be exposed.

He didn't pay attention to the Hu people on the street, but went straight to the largest inn in the city to inquire about useful news, otherwise he would be blind, no matter how big your ability was, you would not be able to push all the way to the imperial city.

Xing'an wine shop.

Dongzhang sat alone in a secluded corner, stretched out his hand to summon Xiao Er in the store, and asked with a smile, "Xiao Er, who is there on the road in this city who can speak?" ”

After examining the dusty Dongzhang and seeing that it was a foreigner, the young man said a little arrogantly, "The guest officer must not be from Lin'an City." ”

Dongzhang tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and said calmly: "If yes, what do I ask you for?" ”

Observing words and looking at the color is the most basic survival skill of every shopkeeper, just listening to the tone, the little two know that the young guest officer in front of him is not easy to mess with, only those calm eyes, Xiao Er saw a little frightened, gradually changed his face, and said with a smile, "The guest officer asked the small one, but he asked the right person, let's talk about this in Lin'an City."

Xiao Er gave a thumbs up and continued: "That's Nan Ye of North Third Street." ”

Squinted at the flattering little Erdongzhang and asked, "What I'm looking for is the head snake of this way, not a cat or a dog, the person you are talking about is called Nanye, right?" ”

Nervously wiped the sweat on his forehead, he dared to compare the brutal Nan Ye to a cat and a dog, this young man really didn't know the height of the sky, Xiao Er glanced at the long sword behind Dongzhang's waist again, swallowed his saliva, and said with difficulty, "How dare the little one lie to you, and don't dare to borrow a few small ones." ”

"Hmm." Nodding, Dongzhang threw a few bounties to Xiao Er, and then continued to ask, "Where is he now?" ”

happily took the reward, Xiao Er thought about it and said, "At this point, Nan Ye estimates that he should be having fun in his own casino."

"What casino?"

"Ping An Gambling House."

"Well, let's go down."

"Okay, guest officer, please use it slowly."

"Hmm."

Waving his hand to support Xiao Er, Dongzhang touched his chin and secretly pondered that he was unfamiliar with his life, if he wanted to find out the news and understand the city as quickly as possible, the fastest way was naturally to find these people who were working in the dark on the road, as long as what happened in the city they were all clear, they would definitely be able to touch the first-hand news, and many of the latest news and even the officials were not as well-informed as them.

Nanye, Chen Haonan

Ping An Gambling House.

Located at the bustling crossroads of the capital, Dongzhang stood outside a noisy store and thought that this Nan Ye who could open a gambling house in this area had a deep background.

"Boy, I see you have been watching at the door for a long time, do you want to play? If you want to play, hurry in, don't play roll! The two thugs guarding the door blew at Dongzhang with horizontal eyes.

Dongzhang smiled, "Play, why don't you play, are you Nanye inside?" ”

"Huh? Didn't you kid come to smash the field? Another grim thug stared at Dongzhang and said.

"Where is it, I just have some admiration for Nan Ye and asked casually, buddy has worked hard, I'll go in and play two." Dongzhang threw some drinks and money to the two of them, and they were about to go to the gambling house.

"Wait, take the blade off, the rules of the gambling house, offended." After receiving the reward, the cold thug's attitude eased a little, and the long sword behind Dongzhang's waist was buckled.

"Hehe, I understand, but don't lose it." Dongzhang looked directly at the cold-looking thug and said word by word.

I don't know what's wrong, the thug himself is usually used to running rampant on the streets, that's the eldest and his second, but at this moment, he didn't dare to look directly at the man in gray, and he felt strange when he thought about it.

Waiting for Dongzhang to walk into the store, the big smug asked the cold man next to him, "What's the matter, Brother Dong, why is your attitude so good to that kid for a few small dollars?" It's not like you. ”

Thinking of Fang Cai's indifferent eyes as if he was looking at a corpse, this Dong Ge couldn't help but shudder, then shook his head and said, "Don't say it, stand up to our post, that person, try not to provoke him." ”

The big man didn't know why, but he had always admired Brother Dong, and what he said was correct, so he nodded and stopped talking.

As soon as Dongzhang walked into the gambling house, the unpleasant smell came to his nose instantly, the smell of inferior dry tobacco, the smell of sweat, the smell of foxes, and the smell of Hong Kong feet, it was simply a messy stew with mixed tastes.

But Dongzhang himself has no habit of cleanliness, and he is not as exaggerated as many cream students in later generations, and the slightest smell pinched his nose and screamed pretentiously, which is called a pseudo-mother.

Looking around, there are four or five tables, playing everything, dice, pai gow, everything, gamblers are rolling up their sleeves one by one and staring at the cards on the table with excitement, some people are happy and some people are sad, those who win money are happy to dance like crazy demons, those who lose money are blood-red and lose their souls like the walking dead, and frequently beg the people around them or the people in the gambling house to kneel and borrow money, dignity, oh, there is no here, in short, this is the ugliest gathering place of human nature.

Dongzhang glanced at the innermost part of the room, where there was also a cubicle, and two big men were guarding the door like two fierce and vicious door gods.

As soon as his eyes lit up, Dongzhang lowered his head and walked towards the two big men.

A thick palm stopped Dongzhang who came forward, and a bald strong man said in a loud voice, "It's not open to the public, you have to go out and play!" ”

"Is Nan Ye inside?" asked Dongzhang softly, baring his white teeth.
