Chapter 243: Night Azusa City!

They stopped in front of the city gate and looked up at Liu Mo in the city, "Lord Liu, we know where the person you are looking for is." ”

Liu Mo looked at the stranger under the city gate, shocked in his heart. "Who the hell are you? Know me? Also, who I'm looking for, do you know? ”

The yellow-skinned man replied in rough Bactrian language, "You six princes of Great Xia are guests in our tribe, and he is the one who asked us to come to the wilderness to find you. ”

When Liu Mo heard this, he was shocked.

The strangers under the city walls were dressed in strange costumes and their appearance was completely different from that of the Zhou Dynasty.

"The Six Princes are in their clan?" Liu Mo fell into deep thought.

"Lord Liu, could it be a plan of the Zhou Dynasty? Want to trick us out and catch them all? Zhu Min asked.

"It doesn't make sense!" Sun Kan replied, "Can our place be regarded as a city?" ”

Liu Mo also knew this that the city's defense capability was extremely limited.

"What then? Drive them back?" Zhu Min asked.

Just as several people were arguing, the person who came took out a jade pendant from his arms and said loudly: "This is a token of your six princes, he asked us to hand it over to you, Lord Liu!" ”

Liu Moding saw that it was indeed the jade pendant of the Six Princes.

"Are the six princes really there?" Zhu Min was shocked. "What's going on?"

Liu Mo had mixed feelings in his heart, they had indeed seen the Six Princes. Then there are only two possibilities for things.

One: The Six Princes and their troops have been completely wiped out, and the jade pendant is their trophy.

Two: The Six Princes have reached some kind of agreement with them and are "guests" in their tribe!

No matter which one it is, Liu Mo doesn't have many choices!

"Then please lead the way, we'll go with you!" Liu Mo announced loudly.

~~~

When Liu Mo arrived, people rang gongs on the city walls to make announcements, and others blew strange horns coiled around their bodies like bronze serpents.

A troop of cavalry came out of the city to serve as his bodyguard.

Riders sit high in ornate saddles, dressed in bronze scale armor and long-snouted helmets with copper teeth and long black feathers.

"Yezi City is the greatest city of all time." Liang Ding, who greeted Liu Mo, told him. "It is the center of the world, the gateway between the north and the south, the bridge between the east and the west, ancient and long, beyond people's memory."

Liu Mo thinks that Liang Ding's words have always added fuel to the fire, but the magnificence of this great city is undeniable.

Triple thick walls surround the city, and there are various intricate carvings on the walls. The 30-foot-high faΓ§ade is made of red sandstone and carved with a variety of animals: snakes crawling on their meanders, kites flying with wings spread, fish gliding and swimming.

There are also wolves of the Red Heath, as well as zebras and giant elephants.

The 40-foot-tall central wall, made of grey granite, is carved with vivid scenes of war: swords intersecting, contradictions clashing, arrows raining down, heroes fighting, babies slaughtered, and burning cremation piles.

The inner walls are fifty feet high of black marble, the outer gates are inlaid with brass, the middle gates are inlaid with iron, and the inner gates are inlaid with many eyes.

These gates opened one by one as Liu Mo approached.

He rode into the city on a tall horse, and the little ones ran out, scattering flowers and paving his path. The children wore nothing but sandals, and their bodies were brightly painted.

The colors that had been lacking in the previous Dead City seemed to have all gone to Nightfall City, and all around him was crowded with buildings in different shades of dreamlike roses, violets, and tans.

He passed a bronze arch carved in the shape of a pair of snakes, whose scales were delicate jade, obsidian and lapis lazuli. Countless slender minarets stood tall, and Liu Mo had never seen such a tall tower in his life.

Each square has an intricate fountain with a strange shape. The nocturnal figures are lined up on the side of the street, or watched from elaborate balconies – balconies so delicate that one doubts whether they can support one's weight.

They were tall, dark-skinned people who wore clothes made of linen, brocade, and animal skins.

Liu Mo rode in front of them, feeling that he was crude and wild.

He glanced at Zhu Min, Sun Kan and the others around him, and Liu Mo saw the same surprise in their eyes.

In the northern wilderness of the Zhou Dynasty, there was such a city!

Liang Ding led Liu Mo's troops through a massive arcade street, where the city's ancient heroes stood on white and green marble columns three times the size of a human being.

Then they passed through a bazaar housed in a huge building with many openings, and its lattice ceiling became home to thousands of colorful birds.

The platform above the store is covered with trees and flowers, and inside the store, there is a wide variety of products.

When the cronies of the six princes leaned over, everyone's hanging hearts finally relaxed.

"Zheng Cheng!" Zhu Min called out the man's name. "I really didn't expect to see you in such a place!"

"Haha, the world is unpredictable!" Zheng Cheng turned over and dismounted, and saluted Liu Mo, "Governor Liu, the last general has been waiting for you here for a long time!" ”

"General Zheng!" Liu Mo returned the salute to him. "Take us to the Six Princes!"

"Back to Lord Liu, the six princes are not in Yezi City!"

"Oh?" Liu Mo was surprised, "Then where did he go?" ”

"Your Highness, together with the troops of Yezi City, go to destroy the enemy!"

"Huh?" Zhu Min was shocked when he heard this. "What the hell is going on?" He asked.

Then, Liang Ding warmly invited Liu Mo to live in his home.

Liu Mo expected that it would be a mansion, but he didn't expect it to be a palace bigger than the bazaar. In comparison, Liu Mo's mansion in Rongcheng is like a swineherd's thatched hut, he thought.

"You mean, we're lost?" Zhu Min asked.

"Yes!" Liang Ding replied, "In the vast wilderness, it's normal to lose your way! Besides, in that wilderness, there is still a maze set by our ancestors. You are not the first to get lost in that wilderness! ”

"So, we've been going west, not north?" Liu Mo asked.

"Yes!" Liang Ding replied.

I didn't expect that in the west of this Great Zhou, there is also the same Western Regions as the earth! Liu Mo couldn't help but sigh.

"What about the north side of the Zhou Dynasty? Is it really a swamp? ”

"Hmm!" Liang Dingdao, "The north of the Zhou Dynasty is similar to what is recorded in the history books, and it is impossible to cross the swamp. Suffice it to say that if your army did go north, it would probably be wiped out. ”

I should be glad I lost my way, Liu Mo couldn't help but think to himself.

"Then when are we going to go to support the Six Princes?" Zhu Min asked.

It turned out that according to Liang Ding's words, the reason why they would accept the six princes was conditional.

As long as there are people, there will be strife, and Yezi is no exception.

The disoriented Great Xia army, if they want to live in Yezi City, they must help the Yezi people defeat their mortal enemies.

And the six princes had already followed Yezi's troops out of the city to fight not long ago.

"After seven days of rest and recuperation, I will come to you!" Liang Ding announced.
