Chapter 223: The Inner City
"The martial arts selection conference is divided into three competitions of heaven, earth and people, Shaoxia only needs to participate in the competition of the herringbone field, the opponents are the strength of the martial arts realm, how could the people of the Sicha Mansion think of investigating the players of the herringbone field, how can the martial arts realm not be able to confront the Sicha, although the young man is not the martial arts realm, but the aura is abnormally convergent, if he participates with the strength of the peak of martial arts, those people can't see it"
Shopkeeper Guo chuckled and explained to Xiaoba.
Two crisp knocks sounded, the well-behaved and delicate Ying'er pushed the door open, holding a bowl of cool sugar water in her hand, walked to Xiaoba's side quietly, gently put down the sugar water, and said softly with a red face, "Shaoxia made such a sacrifice for me, the little girl is grateful, I can only do some trivial things, I hope Shaoxia will not dislike it"
Seeing this, Shopkeeper Guo looked at Xiaoba with a smile, and said softly, "Ying'er's little heart, she is very grateful to you, the method I just mentioned will only be used when you are in extreme need of money, if Shaoxia is not in a hurry, he doesn't need to consider participating in the martial arts election conference."
Xiaoba nodded, took a big sip of sugar water directly, the entrance was refreshing, the taste was rich, sweet and sour, very delicious, Xiaoba smiled, praised Ying'er's sugar water for being delicious, standing on the side nervously Ying'er saw this, smiled, happily pushed the door out, leaving a string of joyful words, "I also made it for Brother You and Yu'er, this will be served to them to taste"
It is rare to see Ying'er's joy, and Xiaoba also sighed a little, such a girl, if she hadn't suffered such a tragic experience, what a beautiful time it would be.
"What is the young man's plan, if you want to participate in the martial arts election, you can go to the inner city to find any officers and soldiers to sign up" The beautiful woman held the incense burner in her hand, added new incense pills to the incense burner, smelled the quiet fragrance, and muttered.
"Thanks for the pointers!" Hachi bowed his hand and said.
Back to the other room, I saw You Zifang and Xiao Yu'er eating happily, Ying'er standing next to her was full of joy, the more they liked to eat, the happier she was, and after a while, the two of them ate cleanly, Ying'er happily took away the porcelain bowl for them, and said that next time she would make more delicious food for them to eat, which attracted Xiao Yu'er's excited hand and foot dance.
Late at night, Hachi, who was lying side by side, muttered.
"Shopkeeper Guo said that you can make quick money by participating in the martial arts election conference, if you really want that thing, I can go to participate"
The voice was very low, but the people around him could definitely hear it clearly, because Youzifang didn't snore, and Hachi was sure that he wasn't asleep, but just closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.
"I really want that thing, but let you go to the martial arts election to make money, then forget it"
"What? I'm still worried that I'm in danger, so why don't you participate in it yourself and make money for yourself? Hachi opened his eyes and asked in a playful tone.
"Hey, I'm not sure, if those people in the gambling house set up a game to rectify me, I will have to shed my skin if I don't die, how dare I!" You Zifang opened his eyes violently and muttered.
"I see that this Inspector's Mansion seems to be attracted by other things, we should be fine for the time being, and it would be good for me to go to the Inspectorate once and earn some money and come back"
"But you have to cooperate with me, you go to the gambling house to place a bet, I will compete on the stage, how much money you can make depends on how you operate in the gambling house" Xiao Hachi muttered.
"How sure are you that I'm going to bet? What if I cheat others" Youzi Fang Teng sat up, looking at Xiao Badao with excitement in his eyes.
"Crooked, who wouldn't you?"
"Don't take Xiaoyu with you, learn from you" Xiaoba turned over, dropped two sentences and stopped paying attention to Youzifang.
You Zifang is face is full of excitement, he is actually an old acquaintance of the gambling house and wine shop, if it weren't for this upside down, he would have wanted to go to Shuang Liang, Xiaoba went to participate in the martial arts election conference, he knew the details, as long as he went to the gambling house to get a handful, it was enough for them to spend a long time.
Such an exciting thing made him so excited that he couldn't sleep, and he didn't fall into a deep sleep until it was almost dawn.
Not long after You Zifang fell asleep, Xiaoba had already turned over and got out of bed, today he was going to enter the inner city to find out, he couldn't help but get up very early, picked up the hand cards that Ying'er sold them before on the table, pushed the door and went out of the house.
A burst of aroma hit, it was the smell of marinade sauce, wafting all over the warehouse, at a glance, it was Ying'er stewing and marinating, getting up so early to make this, Xiaoba's heart sighed.
Ying'er also noticed Xiaoba's attention, lowered her head slightly, and said softly, "Did the young man get up so early, Ying'er still did it too slowly, it would have been better earlier"
Seeing her pitiful appearance of self-blame, Xiaoba knew that she was finally in a better mental state, and now she wanted to do something to prove her worth and make herself feel better, so she walked to her side, sniffed the smell a few times, and praised with an intoxicated face, "It's so fragrant, Ying'er, the lo-mei you made must be very delicious."
"I don't eat much in the morning, and when I come back, the lo-mei will definitely be more fragrant and flavorful, I must eat a big bowl" Xiao Ba's words greatly satisfied Ying'er's empty and helpless heart.
Let his face shine, look at Xiao Ba's eyes blurred, and let out a sweet hum, and then continue to be busy.
Hachi turned around and drifted away, out of the warehouse, and sighed unconsciously.
......
In Xiacheng, East Street, and the streets in the early morning have begun to set up stalls one after another, and some stores have also removed wooden planks and pushed open doors and windows to welcome the new dawn.
Xiaoba all the way through the bustling crowd to the end of East Street, greeted by a two-zhang high blue brick wall, this wall cut off the road behind, and is also the place that separates the inner and outer city.
Three two-person high doorways were opened in the wall, and in front of each stood two officers and men in heavy armor, whose expressions were serious, their posture was upright, and they were well-trained.
As he got closer, Hachi found that the heavy armor on these officers and soldiers was all carved with Mithril and cirrus clouds floating on the shoulder armor, and the armor on his waist was engraved with layers of terrifying waves.
Xiao Ba had heard something about such armor from Shopkeeper Guo, this is the uniform armor of the officers and soldiers of Bazhou, and this is the entrance to the inner city.
"Show your hand, please!" An officer and soldier stretched out his hand to block in front of Xiao Hachi, and said in a serious voice.
Hachi took out the hand card that he had bought with money from his arms and put it flat in front of the officers and soldiers, who looked down for a while before turning sideways and giving up the width that a person could pass.
Xiao Bachao nodded slightly, walked through the city gate, and entered the inner city.
Coming to the inner city of Xiaoba, carefully look around, the streets inside are not wider than the outer city, on the contrary, much narrower, a straight road leads to the distance, in the distance a magnificent building like a giant beast entrenched here, the building is supported by more than a dozen thick white pillars, even from such a distance, you can feel its huge sense of oppression.
