Volume 2 Dynasty Chapter 188 Jinling City
After recuperating in Suicheng for a period of time, Lu Xuan and the others embarked on the road of departure again.
Unlike in the past, with the experience of the past, Lu Xuan did not choose to continue on the road, but found a merchant in the city, gave some money, and traveled with them.
A large number of people can not only avoid encountering evil spirits, but also confuse the public, so as not to be found by the people of the True Spirit Sect.
After passing Suicheng, it can be regarded as completely entering the territory of the Great Jin.
The next city is the famous Jinling City, which is famous in the mouth of merchants.
This city, which is located on the main road between the north and the south, is unusually prosperous because of the flow of merchants.
According to the shopkeeper Li, who was led by the merchants, Jinling City is simply a fairyland on earth compared to Suicheng, with all kinds of wine and delicacies, and the most famous is the local beauty.
Lu Xuan wanted to ask the reason, but Shopkeeper Li smiled and said nothing.
After almost seven or eight days' journey, their group was about to arrive at Jinling City.
The wheels kept rolling, and Lu Xuan and the others sat in the carriage, reopened the map, and kept tapping their fingers on the city with the words Jinling City written on it.
Judging from what he heard from the merchants, this city is not only relatively prosperous in terms of economy, but also excellent in terms of human geography, and it is said to be the fief of a prince of the Great Jin Dynasty.
Of course, Lu Xuan didn't really care about the specifics of this city, the only thing that made him think was that after Jinling City, they should continue to move in that direction.
If nothing happens, you will be able to reach Alai's hometown in about a month.
When they arrived, their journey of exile came to an end.
However, Lu Xuan did not forget his senior brother's entrustment.
From the point of view of the distance, it is closer to the south from Shengjing, the capital of the Great Jin Dynasty.
Coupled with the information obtained before, the national teacher is not in Shengjing City now, and it is the best time to get close to the Great Jin Emperor.
You may be able to use this to gain an in-depth understanding of the world of cultivators.
After thinking about it for a long time, Lu Xuan sighed slightly, and decided to escort Ah Lai and Lu Zhaozhao home first, after all, judging from the words of the senior brother before he died, this Shengjing City may be regarded as a purgatory on earth.
Otherwise, he would not risk his life and sneak into the Langyuan Wonderland to steal the "Dengxian Code"
Lu Xuan and the others gave a lot of money to the merchants, so this carriage was vacated by them alone, and there were only three of them sitting in it.
The closer he got to Jinling City, the more excited Ah Lai became, and from time to time he opened the curtain and looked outside.
Lu Zhaozhao couldn't help but quip: "You are like this, people have seen it, and they still think that we have not seen the world." ”
"It's different, Sister Zhaozhao, this Jinling City is different from the city we have been to before." Ah Lai happily explained: "I have long heard my second master say that the world is not good, and the family's business is almost gone, but the people in Jinling City are rich!" I bought the goods of my family for three years in one go, and it made our family survive the poorest period. ”
"Huh? Are you a merchant? What do you sell? ”
After a period of recuperation, Lu Zhaozhao's complexion has improved a lot, his face is smooth and white as usual, he looks no different from a young girl, but he is covered with black and white hair, and he can change if he wants to eat mountain ghost meat for a while.
"Hmm....." Ah Lai thought for a while, scratched his head, and smiled embarrassedly: "I can't remember clearly, it seems that it sells tea, and we have a large tea village." ”
When Ah Lai was taken away by Zhen Yuanzi, he was still young, and it was normal that he couldn't remember things clearly.
"Anyway, when we get to Fengyang City, we will have a home." Ah Lai patted his chest and said, "When Sister Zhaozhao and Brother Lu get married, I will entertain you guests." ”
"You... What nonsense are you talking about. Lu Zhaozhao's face was slightly red, and he stretched out his finger and poked it at Ah Lai's head.
Ah Lai was not angry, but just smiled and dodged.
Although he is young, he can still see things clearly.
Long ago, he asked Lu Zhaozhao not to get too close to Lu Xuan.
But after so many things, he felt that it was good for the two of them to be together, although sometimes Brother Lu was crazy, but it was much better than the people he met on the road.
At least he can be sure that no matter what the circumstances, Brother Lu will definitely not hurt Sister Zhaozhao.
Just when the two of them were making a fuss, the carriage suddenly stopped, and the fat shopkeeper Li opened the curtain of the carriage and said with a smile: "Everyone, Jinling City has arrived, and the people in this carriage must come down to check before they can enter the city." ”
"There's a shopkeeper in Lao." Lu Xuan arched his hand, and then led Lu Zhaozhao and Ah Lai out of the carriage.
When he came to the city wall with a group of merchants, and his body was completely covered by the shadow of the city wall, Lu Xuan looked up and saw that there was a mountain in front of him.
"This wall..... This wall..."Ah Lai was also shocked by this towering city wall, and stammered for a long time before he burst out of a sentence: "It's really big, compared to the walls of poor countries, this wall is like a fence." ”
"Hehe, Jinling City is rich in oil! In the past few years, the National Teacher has not yet attained the Tao, and our Great Jin is not peaceful. Shopkeeper Li looked at this city wall and said with emotion: "In order to prevent thieves, this city wall has been repaired and repaired, so that it has the current scale." ”
Lu Xuan was a little interested, the people he had seen along the way were indeed much richer than those in other places, and he couldn't help asking: "Dare to ask Shopkeeper Li, what kind of livelihood does this Jinling City do, just looking at this city wall, you know that the cost is not small, and it is even more prosperous to come to the city." ”
"Hehe, no hurry, no hurry." Li Zhang sold the pass: "Let's go and take care of the soldiers guarding the city first, finish the goods on the car early, and repair it for two days after entering the city, and then the little brother will naturally know why this Jinling City is so rich." ”
After the shopkeeper Li finished speaking, he squeezed through the crowd of people entering the city, came to the front of those soldiers, and after a little conversation, two soldiers left the crowd and ran to check their merchant team first.
Compared with other cities, the inspection here is obviously much stricter, even if you pay money, everything has to be checked before you can be released.
Fortunately, Shopkeeper Li was a merchant who went home after selling the goods, and he didn't bring much with them, and the inspection ended quickly.
Lu Xuan and the others slowly walked into Jinling City with the ranks of merchants.
As soon as he entered the city, Lu Xuan immediately felt extravagant, the spacious streets were not only neat and clean, but there were many high-rise buildings made of bricks and stones on both sides, most of the passers-by he saw were wearing brocade clothes, and even the doors and windows of the shops were made of fine rosewood, standing at the gate of the city, he could even smell the smell of dragon incense.
You know, most of the cities they saw along the way were made of thatch or adobe, and if they were built with stone bricks like this, they had to be rich and noble.
Lu Xuan's expression was complicated, he really didn't expect that there would be such a prosperous place in this world.
He thought that in this crazy world, not an inch of anything was good.
"Little brother, don't look at it, let's go find an inn to stay in first." Shopkeeper Li walked in front with the merchants, and did not forget to turn around and wave, signaling Lu Xuan and them to follow.
