Chapter 847: Together
The large expanses of verdant plants planted on both sides of the streets of the Holy City are like walking into a paradise, completely identical to any other city, and even if there were no city walls, it would not look like a city at all, but more like an oasis in the desert.
After walking for about ten minutes, a stone bridge appeared in front of him, Ouyang Feng rode on his horse and looked at the clear but not turbulent river water and the small boats on the river, and his heart was indescribably relaxed.
As a landlord, Dodd acted as a tour guide, along the way for Ouyang Feng and others to introduce the scenery along the way and the use of some buildings, seeing Ouyang Feng looking into the distance along the river, Dodd smiled and said: "This is the Liuqing River, the river is meandering, almost running through the entire holy city. ”
Hearing this, Alger frowned slightly and said, "If that's the case, wouldn't it bring a lot of hidden dangers to the defense of the Holy City?
Dodd said with some pride: "Maybe other cities like this need to worry about what you said, but the holy city doesn't need to, because the source of this river is in the city, how to say, the so-called source is actually a huge spring or the outlet of the underground river, and as for where the underground river leads, so many years and so many predecessors have not found the answer." Also, the lower reaches of the Liuqing River is a waterfall, and below it is a cliff several hundred meters high, which is also the edge of our holy city, and no one can come up from anywhere, so there is nothing to worry about, and even if one or two masters come in, it is nothing for the holy city. ”
Alger nodded, if it was really like Dodd said, then there really was nothing to worry about. And what a place the Holy City is. There are so many primal babies and old monsters in charge. Whoever dares to come here is uncomfortable, even if it is a Jindan master, it is not easy to make it.
The group continued to walk forward, Qingfeng, Mingyue and other people in the Holy City talked happily, Hongshang, Petty and other women also had special female dependents responsible for entertaining, and even the cat and Big Panya were taken care of very well, this gluttonous cat enjoyed the food delivered to his mouth while walking, which was called a pleasant.
The team walked for a while, and Ouyang Feng asked Dodd puzzledly: "Why do I think the Holy City is a little deserted." There aren't many people looking like them?"
Dodd shrugged his shoulders and said, "Of course this place can't be compared to Qingyuan City, to put it bluntly, this is not a commercial city, it's just the habitat of our ten major families, what do you want so many people to do?" ”
Ouyang Feng nodded: "Well, that's the truth, but don't you feel cold?"
Dodd smiled faintly and said: "It's not all so deserted, there is a market here every month, and almost all the merchants from the neighborhood will come over, as well as some tourists from nearby cities." Anyway, when you see it with your own eyes, you will know that the level of excitement at that time is not much worse than that of Qingyuan City. ”
Ouyang Feng nodded. This makes sense, otherwise if it is so deserted all the time, what money will those shops make or something? Relying on this little bit of people in the city alone will definitely lose a lot of money.
What Ouyang Feng didn't know was that the road chosen by Dodd was not the main road of the Holy City, of course there would not be many people who could see it, and the markets and shops on the other side of the main road still had a lot of customers, especially those shops of the major families, the business was even more hot, and the products of each family could not be made by other merchants, just like Ouyang Feng's initial cognition, any commodity sold there was an absolute good thing.
Ouyang Feng also found one thing, Duode and these people are also detached in the Holy City, but after the pedestrians on the road saw their own people, they did not look and point as curiously as the residents of other cities, but stood on the side of the road very calmly, bowed their heads, and waited for the convoy to pass, and then went to their own affairs, as if they were accustomed to this, and Ouyang Feng knew that this was not indifference, this was personal quality and cultivation.
As mentioned before, the Holy City is actually divided into two parts, the previous one is an area for those ordinary people to live in, and the other half is surrounded by a wall of vines that are not high or low, which is the real Holy City and the foundation of the Ten Great Families.
When they arrived here, more people came to greet them, Ouyang Feng and they didn't know each other, but out of politeness, Ouyang Feng and they all got off the horse and greeted each other one by one.
Finally entering the wall, Ouyang Feng was shocked to find that there was a huge square in front of him, the ground was paved with smooth marble, black as the base, with the center point as the center of the circle, divided into ten light-colored marble paths, which meandered into the buildings in the distance, and there were many horizontal marble paths all over it, which looked like a huge spider web.
Dodd introduced: "These ten roads lead to the stations of the ten major families, let's go, let's take the one on the right, which leads to our Weiqing family." ”
Without waiting for Ouyang Feng to speak, a middle-aged man with a bookish face next to him smiled and scolded: "Dodd, you are too polite, Xiaofeng and they came here for the first time, why do you want to go to your Weiqing family? I think it's better to come to our Liuhuo family first, our great elder has prepared a lot of good wine, just wait for Xiaofeng and them to come over." ”
When the others heard this, they were not far behind, and they invited Ouyang Feng and others to their own family first, and for a while, in the face of everyone's enthusiasm, Ouyang Feng didn't know what to do, and stood in place with a face of embarrassment with a few people in red clothes.
It stands to reason that Ouyang Feng and the Wei Qing family have a better and closer relationship with them, but those great elders of other families are also very good to Ouyang Feng, and they have never had a second word about Ouyang Feng and their affairs, so now Ouyang Feng is not easy to make any choices, after all, he doesn't know much about the relationship between these big families in the Holy City, if one is not good, something is not what Ouyang Feng wants to see, especially because of himself.
Ouyang Feng was in a dilemma, he didn't know how to choose, so he looked at Anna for help and whispered, "What should we do?"
Anna also rolled her eyes in embarrassment and said, "How do I know?"
At this moment, a slightly old but neutral voice came from a distance: "Haha, don't be embarrassed by Xiaofeng, look at them." ”
The people who were still chattering stopped arguing in an instant after hearing this voice, and they all closed their mouths and looked in the direction where the sound came from, and Ouyang Feng and the others were naturally no exception.
Not far away, a thin figure walked slowly, and the others saluted when they saw the comer, but Ouyang Feng's face showed joy, and he waved his hand with a smile from afar and said, "Hey, Senior Hawke, why are you here?" ”
Huo Ke walked unhurriedly in front of Ouyang Feng and his party, looked around at everyone, pouted and smiled at Ouyang Feng and said, "You kid don't come with me to do this, don't fix those vain, hurry up, go back with me, and go around the territory of our Wei Qing family." ”
When Dodd heard this, he first squeezed his eyebrows at Ouyang Feng, and then raised his head at the people of the other families, looking at which of you would dare to grab business.
Hawke's appearance made the people who came to greet other families suddenly wilt, they could argue with Dodd, but in the face of Hawke, they didn't have the guts, although they were very unconvinced, they could only swallow their anger, watching Ouyang Feng and his party leave with Hawke.
Just when the group walked out of a short distance and had not yet left the big square, a laugh and scolding came from a distance: "Hawke, are you planning to rely on the old man and sell the old man?"
Hawke had already spotted the comer, and quickened his pace, but he still couldn't dodge, and now when he heard the voice, he had to stop, turn his head and say in the direction from which the voice came: "Beck, aren't you old fellows coming here too?" Hurry up, let's go to my place for a few drinks, I have prepared a pot of good wine, if I wait for those old fellows to come, it will not be enough. ”
Beck's eyes lit up when he heard this, he walked quickly to Hawke, glanced at Ouyang Feng and the others one by one, patted Ouyang Feng's shoulder and teased: "It's still your kid who has face, this old guy has been hiding a pot of superb spirit wine, I've been thinking about it for a long time, but he just can't bear to take it out, it seems that today is a blessing, let's hurry, I can't wait." As he spoke, he pulled Ouyang Feng and left, regardless of the juniors of their Qinghuo family, looking like an old drunkard, which made several people in the Qinghuo family smile bitterly.
Just as Hawke, Baker, Ouyang Feng and the others were about to leave, Hawke and Baker were stunned together, and then there was a burst of grief and helplessness on their faces.
Ouyang Feng was about to ask what was going on, when several equally neutral voices came from all directions in the distance: "Hawke, you are too picky, don't you have good wine, don't you call us old friends, do you plan to eat alone?"
Hawke and Baker sighed and turned around, and Baker gritted his teeth and muttered, "These guys have really good ears, and I heard that all the good wine is coming." ”
Hawke shrugged helplessly and said: "There is only so much wine, I used it to entertain Xiaofeng and them, you guys don't come to stir it up, if you want to drink it, brew it yourself." ”
The few guys who spoke out just now also came to the front at this time, they were the great elders of several other families, most of them Ouyang Feng had seen in Qingyuan Island, and only three of them were very strange.
Dodd whispered to Ouyang Feng and a few people, those strange old men and Hawke are the same, they are the great elders of their respective families, and they are also all Yuanying-level cultivators, Ouyang Feng and a few people did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly and respectfully stepped forward to salute, a few old guys were very useful, nodded again and again with a smile, and also gave a few gadgets to a few girls such as Hongshang and the little girl, which was regarded as a meeting gift, the little girl was suddenly overjoyed, and regardless of the occasion, she couldn't put it down and looked at it, and asked her use in person, Didn't notice the envious gaze of the others.
