Chapter 9: The City of Might

Wang Nan saw that he understood, and he no longer supervised on the side, first threaded those fish together with grass roots, and turned around to dig a pit and start a fire! Eat fish! When Wang Nan's grilled fish was almost cooked, Zhao Qingyuan hurriedly came with a large string of fish in one hand, thirty or forty carp, crucian carp, etc., large and small, and a big grass carp in the other hand, which was as long as Zhao Qingyuan's hand, Zhao Qingyuan also deliberately took a branch to wear it, with a smile on his face, and ran quickly.

Seeing this, Wang Nan had to clap his hands and praise: "Very good!" Worthy of my man! So he hurriedly took the grass carp and roasted it.

After sitting on the ground and sharing the spoils, Zhao Qingyuan ate a few big fish, as well as those small fish, the whole grass carp was solved by Wang Nan, Zhao Qingyuan was very satisfied when he watched her eat, and hurriedly went to the horse after she finished eating, took down the pot, which was now filled with water, and ran back quickly and handed it to her, she drank it all, wiped her mouth with the back of her hand, and shouted happily.

In fact, when you go out, you can drink wherever you go, and now we have water in Xiazhou!

After lunch, he was a little sleepy, so Zhao Qingyuan found a big tree, and it was good to enjoy the shade under the big tree! He first sat cross-legged against the tree, put his fists on his knees, began to breathe and breathe, gradually getting better, a breath of true qi drove the fist intent, and slowly dispersed, now the fist intent can wrap half a big tree, but it is very faint to perceive the object passing by, Wang Nan is not outside, directly sat down and leaned against the tree, his head rested on his shoulder, his hands wrapped around his arms, and slowly fell asleep.

But said that in the Zhao Mansion, the couple was discussing with Yue Zhen how to arrange a retreat, it turned out that not long ago, there were already cultivators who took a fancy to the Zhao family mine, this mountain was impregnated with spiritual energy the most, and there were basically treasures everywhere, so that the original priceless ore was worth a higher level, and all kinds of fights would inevitably occur here, which would inevitably hurt people, so it was necessary to plan early.

In that mine, there are many people who are still slowly mining, if they lose their lives for money, it is not worth it, and they are all the second or third generations of people who entered the mountain in the early years, and there is more than one mine.

A man surnamed Gan who has just passed the age of confusion, is now a military general in the army, originally enlisted in the army because of his familiar horses, followed a cavalry army to fight several victories, every time a group of people chased him to fight, he could turn the danger into a disaster, and now he led two thousand cavalry in Qiuzhou, guarding the land of the Tang Kingdom, and in the bloody battle on the battlefield, he killed a martial arts realm, which was a realm lower than the reckless realm.

The emperor of the Tang Kingdom, who felt the first shame in his life at sea last time, will plan well after returning to China, and he is bound to take a piece of territory in Dongzhou.

Zheng surnamed Haoshen, now thinking about making the business bigger and stronger, planning to do all over the three states, Dongzhou is not yet open to the outside world for the time being, he can't help but complain a little about this, he can't help but have some complaints, he can't raise money to pave the way, and he is also spending money everywhere to find secret methods for cultivation.

Since the last time the old man was impregnated with aura, he has been getting younger and younger, and it seems that he will be rejuvenated in a few years?

The man surnamed Liu, who had been struck by lightning, is now hiding in the mountains and not daring to go out.

————

I don't know how many hours I slept, I woke up it was already night, and I didn't say much to continue to hurry, a bright moon shone in the sky, and the two rode on horseback.

Three days later, I entered a city, and when I saw that the second prince didn't send anyone to chase after me, I should be fine, and I was relieved when I entered the city, and there was no wanted warrant. The name of this city is bold, I don't know how bold, but it is indeed the only richest city in the surrounding radius of tens of thousands of miles.

If you can't find it, as long as it is an object that exists in this world, and you really need it, write a note and send it to the city management office, and someone will find it, but the time is uncertain, how many items you find no one wants, and they are sold here, and for this reason there are people who come to look for a wife, saying that they have lost the most gorgeous beauty in the world.

On the same day, this person was blasted out of the city, and said, if you dare to play child's play, there will be no such person in the world. However, some people came to look for their parents, saying that their parents were alive and were missing, but the management office really took them and found them, for which the person did not know how much money he sent to thank him.

There are four main streets in this city, just close to the southeast and northwest gates, each has its own characteristics, eat and play with housing, eat needless to say, the people take food as the day, there are 100 fruit plates and all kinds of pastries in Chunzhou, the wine of Xiazhou, air-dried meat, boiled fish in Qiuzhou, etc., there are many to play, there are shadow puppet shows, clay figures, and kites and paper kites, etc., there are decorations, there are weapons shops, and furniture or something, it is easy to say, it is an inn, the price is from high to low, there is that luxury and the thatched hut group, as long as you want to live, there are any houses, no problem.

The two led the horse into the east gate, first in Beizhu Street, found an inn to prepare the house first, as long as there is one, don't think about it, Zhao Qingyuan will never do it if he doesn't get married!! The main thing is to save money! Two hundred wen a day, Zhao Qingyuan almost burst into tears when he heard this, and directly slapped nearly five hundred wen of silver on the counter with one hand, and said, "Don't look for it!" ”

Seeing this, Wang Nan slapped Zhao Qingyuan on the source and said, "I'm sorry, he said it's funny, we have two horses, and this piece of silver is just a hundred more than a hundred yuan, can you help us take care of it for two days?" ”

The shopkeeper is a rough man, and he doesn't say much after watching this one, understand! Just smiled and nodded and continued to eat melon seeds, there was a bowl of wine on the side, and only after the two of them left did they accept the silver.

Zhao Qingyuan also relied on her, since he had a place to live, he went out for a walk, shopping, they walked to the alley first, no need to say it, Zhao Qingyuan took the package from his back, and directly gave all the remaining silver tickets to Wang Nan, she kept it, he was relieved, just left one on his body, and a few broken silver, she didn't say anything, nodded and accepted it.

I just saw that there were two small packages in the package, not just what they were, one could feel some aura traction very strongly, but the other was not, so I asked, "These two?" Wang Nan recalled that when he carried it on his body, it felt like a hard object.

Zhao Qingyuan explained: "One is a gun head, and the other is a stone that my father found in the mine, which is quite beautiful and colorful, and it is my 10th birthday gift." As he spoke, he unwrapped the two tight packages, as he said.

In fact, Zhao Qingyuan was ten years old, originally his father didn't know what to send, there was not much at home, and there was a little ore, thinking about going to the mountains to pick stones, just that day there was a master digging out this stone, not daring to hide it privately, to be precise, he didn't want to hide, followed the Zhao family to eat meat, why bother to think carefully, Zhao Peng was happy when he saw it, so he decided to take this stone as a gift, and then took some silver out, so that the masters were also happy.

Wang Nan was also a little happy when he saw the stone, with a smile on his face, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, Zhao Qingyuan saw this and said: "If you like it, I will give it to you, we have a lot of family." ”

Wang Nan was not happy to hear this, and snorted angrily and said, "Don't do it!" ”

Seeing this, Zhao Qingyuan hurriedly said: "Look at my stupid mouth, I should be beaten!" Isn't mine yours? Don't be angry, okay? ”

Wang Nan was satisfied with this, nodded and walked in front with his hands behind his back, and said, "Let's go, Uncle Zhao." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Qingyuan quickly packed up his package and quickly followed.

The two of them first came to Xiyong Street to see if there was anything missing, or if there were favorite objects, during which they walked through a shop, which had all kinds of decorations, such as bracelets, necklaces, earrings, etc., miscellaneous but not messy, each divided into its own categories.

Zhao Qingyuan was dizzying, and then turned his head to look at Wang Nan, she only used a cyan ribbon on her head, tied with her hair curled, and there was no other decoration, so she asked, "Do you want to buy a hairpin or something?" ”

Wang Nan thought about it and felt that it was still so convenient, and said, "Don't forget it." ”

Zhao Qingyuan felt that this matter was feasible, took her hand, entered the store to take a look, came to the headdress area, Wang Nan looked at it a few times, couldn't see it, looked for it carefully, picked a green hosta similar to Zhao Qingyuan, one head carved with patterns, Zhao Qingyuan remembered the hairpin on the head, there are two engraved words named Qingyuan, so he asked the shopkeeper if there was a carving knife, the shopkeeper's eyes were vicious, and he knew the meaning and said: "This store can be given, not bought." ”

Zhao Qingyuan understood, and found a hairpin that seemed to match hers, all of which had patterns, and after paying, the shopkeeper put the two hairpins in a wooden box, and there was a small carving knife in the bread, Zhao Qingyuan was happy to leave when he flicked his fingers, and a grain of broken silver fell on the counter, and the shopkeeper immediately said: "The guest officer is here again!" ”

How could Wang Nan not feel his little action, he just didn't say it, he couldn't always do it in front of people, he had to save some face, and he would talk about it when he went back!

I went shopping elsewhere and didn't have anything I wanted to buy, but it was also satisfying to look at it.

There is a shop that sells calligraphy, painting and antiques, and the two of them saw a folding fan with words written on it, which is "gray day, rain and dew, millions of clouds, hands to pluck the clouds and mist." "There is a sun painted on the side, in the rain and dark clouds, it can be said that they complement each other, and some people on the side are happy to see it and buy it.

There is a stone shop, there are all kinds of ores, jade, etc., as long as you spend money to buy, you can ask someone to carve on the spot, you can also book a time, and then you can pick it up.

When the two of them came here, they happened to see that on the wooden table, there was a craftsman carving stones, holding tools and thinking carefully, and the next place was carved, little by little, a dragon body was carved, lifelike, and the two were already half-finished when they came.

It was actually someone who bought the gold mine, chose to carve on the spot, the number of people watching on the side was not a few, a person in the crowd saw this and was a little itchy, so he went to buy a piece of jade and carved on the spot, and there were also people on the side who looked at it, and felt that the golden dragon was more attention-grabbing.

This shop has two rooms, a house of stone selection and a house of carving, do not interfere with each other, a total of ten craftsmen, now and reservation are divided into five people, can be changed, but the number of people must be kept the same, otherwise the business is not good.

Zhao Qingyuan looked at her and smiled at her and asked, "Do you want to buy a piece too?" Make a favorite object? ”

Wang Nan leaned closer and whispered, "Just take a look, don't waste that money." Zhao Qingyuan nodded.

The two of them looked at it for a while, and then went to look elsewhere.

Then I came to a weapons shop, which was full of all kinds of weapons, including real knives and guns, and some of the bells and whistles that were useless, and they were almost used as decorations.

Among them, there is a long halberd, which can weigh up to 100 catties, it is made of gold ore, the whole body is golden, it is really good-looking, there are four characters on it, no one is invincible.

In the past, it was not available when it was done, and it was difficult to hold it, but now it is different, after having the aura, the practitioner can use it in the future, but when you go out, you generally do not leak yellow and white objects, because in this way you can live for a long time.

It's getting late, so I won't say much about the rest, it's a feast for the eyes anyway.

After that, he went back to the inn and entered the house with his hand, Zhao Qingyuan was eye-opening, it turned out that two hundred Wen can also have an independent bathing room? It's time for you to make money at this inn! This wood should have only been built for a few years, and most of it was new.

Zhao Qingyuan went downstairs directly to carry water, and then boiled water to bathe, Zhao Qingyuan asked her to wash first, Wang Nan was not polite, she hadn't taken a bath for a long time, and then she walked out slowly wrapped in a towel, trembling as she walked, the towel followed the ups and downs, one end was scattered, wearing a straw rope around her neck, tied to a white ring, stopped on her chest, Zhao Qingyuan sat at the table, turned his head to look at the thing in his chest and couldn't help but say: "It's so white!" ”

Wang Nan walked over and slapped Zhao Qingyuan in the face, saying, "Indecent!" ”

Zhao Qingyuan smiled and asked, "Why is it obscene?" And what's around your neck? Why hadn't you seen it earlier? ”

Wang Nan held the ring with both hands, sat aside and said, "I put it in the innermost, how can you see it?" This is a stone that my father found when my father and mother got married, and made a ring to give it to my mother, which can be regarded as a token of love. After a pause, seeing that he was still staring, Wang Nan said angrily: "How long do you want to watch?" Don't go wash it yet! ”

Zhao Qingyuan stared at her intently and joked: "Wait until I'm done washing, and then take a closer look." Wang Nan stomped his feet in shame, why was he so annoying?! It doesn't seem to have enough fight!!

Zhao Qingyuan then went in to take a bath, and then came out wrapped in a towel, but only wrapped the lower half of his body, and it was also a hairbeat, Wang Nan saw his figure, broad shoulders, and well-proportioned muscles, and couldn't help but blush slightly, took a closer look, saw the scar, walked over and put his palm on his heart, felt his heartbeat and asked, "What happened?" ”

Zhao Qingyuan's face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he slowly explained: "When I was eight years old, Master took me into the mountains to fight tigers, and when I was about to leave the mountain, I met a group of people who said that they would exchange my and Master's lives for the white tiger. They used the strategy of diverting the tiger from the mountain, lured the master away, and I was left alone, and three more men came to trap me, and they punched them twice, and it felt bad, and sure enough, the man appeared behind me quietly, and a sword pierced through the back vest, and I really thought I was about to leave this world. Later, somehow, I came back to life, and I heard from the master that it was the aura in my body that saved my life, and then the aura repaired the wound, until now, only a scar remains, and there is also a vest on the back. "Said very calmly, no anger, no complaints, no anger is so it is the best, no complaints are their own choice to enter the mountain, to blame can only blame themselves for not enough ability, the heart is higher than the sky, life is thinner than paper.

Wang Nan looked behind him when he heard this, it was true, looking at the vertical scar, an inexplicable sadness welled up in his heart, and he couldn't help crying in his arms, Zhao Qingyuan gently hugged her, gently stroked her back, and comforted: "It's okay, it's all over." "She is just shoulder level with Zhao Qingyuan, so she is as small as a kitten in his arms.

After a while, she gradually slowed down, Zhao Qingyuan suddenly hugged tightly, lowered his head and whispered a smile in her ear: "Not as good as us?" ”

Hearing this, Wang Nan began to break free, pushed him away, wiped the corners of his eyes, and said firmly: "No! Yes! ”

Zhao Qingyuan said seriously: "What do you want? I mean, if we all carve a word on the hairpin, it won't work? ”

Wang Nan snorted coldly when he heard this, and said, "Okay." ”

Then Zhao Qingyuan sat down, first carved a word with a knife, named Nan, the word is not much good, the rules and regulations, don't panic to show her, and then Wang Nan took the carving knife, slowly carved, the heart of the thought, the hand of the hand, is called Qing.

The clear water flows for a long time, and the nanmu becomes a forest. Water and wood depend on each other and exist indefinitely.

After that, the two exchanged, looked at each other and smiled, and each nodded, okay! Since Wang Nan had never worn a hairpin, Zhao Qingyuan helped her wear it, but it was loose again and again, and Wang Nan couldn't help but say: "Light!" ”

I don't know how long it has passed, but it's finally done, it's okay to fix myself, it's a little difficult to help her. The original hairpin was put in a wooden box, and put it in a package with other items, and then put on the original clothes, and went to sleep after dinner, no accident! Wang Nan slept on the bed, and Zhao Qingyuan slept on the bench.

Wang Nan pillowed with one hand before going to bed, looked sideways, he honestly sat cross-legged on the bench, breathing slowly, his hands were stacked on his abdomen, and within a foot around his side, he could faintly see the fairy qi curling, in Zhao Qingyuan's body, the true qi of the light green head and blue body was becoming more and more formed.

She looked at it for a while, and the sleepiness came, and she slowly fell asleep.

In the early morning of the second day, the sun shone through the window and shone in the house, and a spring breeze blew in the face, brushing Wang Nan's face and blowing on Zhao Qingyuan, and the two of them were awake and had nothing to do all night.

After breakfast, rice porridge and pickles, plain and plain, the two went out, first went to the east to eat the street, and then went to the south to play the street, and finally returned to the inn, the perfect day, I heard that there are lanterns to see in the south tonight, the two are curious, I don't know what is strange, see you at night.

After less than a stick of incense, he walked into the end of East Street and began to look for a target!

While walking, Zhao Qingyuan walked and walked, found that she was gone, and looked for it, it turned out to be in the pastry shop, after coming in, I looked around a few times, osmanthus cake, mung bean cake, jujube mud cake, etc., each with its own characteristics, the price is different, Wang Nan doesn't care about these, directly the same two pieces, all bought it, and then the two went out, she had a bag of pastries in her hand, while eating and walking, Wang Nan thought of something and asked: "You eat?" Zhao Qingyuan didn't want to eat much, and said, "You eat, I'm not hungry." ”

I didn't walk past the two shops, and the pastries were gone, Zhao Qingyuan was not surprised to see this, but just asked: "There is a melon and fruit plate over there, do you want to eat some?" ”

She nodded, and then came to the front of the store, first looked at the top of her eyes, a plate of melons and fruits, placed on the table, and left after eating! There are five kinds of a plate, there are ten kinds of a plate, and there are up to a plate of hundreds of kinds of melons and fruits, a big plate is really dazzling, it should be a Chunzhou hundred fruit plate, what apples, pears, watermelons, strawberries, grapes, etc., all the way up from below, like a pyramid, the rest also have that posed, I can't bear to eat it, and there is a watermelon with other fruits, and the price is clearly marked.

Although the fruit plate is in the innermost, Zhao Qingyuan can see it clearly at a glance, and then walked into the house, and directly asked for the fruit plate, after paying, the shopkeeper brought a chair for the guests to sit on, Wang Nan sat down and was welcome! I also asked him, "Can I start?" Zhao Qingyuan smiled and nodded, and then she picked up the melons and fruits and dried them directly, what tableware is not tableware? Unclean hands? As the saying goes, if you don't dry it, you won't get sick if you eat it! The female shopkeeper stood at the counter and watched, smiling and speechless, but she felt that Zhao Qingyuan should also help eat some.

As a result, in the end, Wang Nan ate all by himself, burped, and was satisfied! The shopkeeper was stunned, so many! Eat it all? Look at the posture and haven't eaten enough??? The two just smiled and walked out of the door, and the shopkeeper thought about it and said, "Guest officer, come back next time!" Zhao Qingyuan didn't dare to reply casually, Wang Nan elbowed him, and Zhao Qingyuan looked back and said, "Okay." ”

After a while, passing by a stall, the two found it interesting, and after a few more looks, it turned out to be a sugar painting! The old master sat on a stool, holding tools in his hand, a stove in front of him was heating, he didn't know what was on his face, and there were the required materials on the side, syrup, bamboo sticks, and a wooden box, on which there were several pictures, horses, rabbits, dragons, phoenixes, etc., all painted lifelike, and there was a wooden turntable, which could be turned for money, and which one to do, which was called fate, and you could also tell the old man about the animals you liked, or others, as long as you could draw them, the price was uncertain.

Someone is waiting on the side at the moment, is to turn to the dragon, luckier, the old man is not in a hurry, scoop out the syrup, actually start painting on the stove surface, only to see a dragon slowly appear out, Wang Nan looked at the side and felt novel, and then asked for two one dragon and one phoenix, the old man should come down, and said: "The two of you still need to wait for a while, there is a guest in front." Wang Nan smiled: "There is time. The old man smiled and nodded, and continued to paint.

didn't wait long, Wang Nan saw that the old man finally nodded for the dragon and finished it, and then paid the money and thanked him, holding two sugar people, thinking about it, giving the phoenix to Zhao Qingyuan, and eating the dragon himself, sweet! Zhao Qingyuan didn't want to eat it very much, but he was reluctant to eat it when he saw that it was good, but he didn't eat it, so he had to eat it, which was not bad, but he could watch and eat, and he didn't lose his interest.

The two continued to hang out, eating and drinking, sour plum soup, boiled fish, real air-dried beef, and the rest of the food, when Zhao Qingyuan ate air-dried beef, he couldn't help but admire, it was really good, but it was chewy.

East Eat Street is also almost gone, the time has come to the afternoon, rush to the south almost, day and night South Play Street can be seen, happy plus one, the two of them have walked I don't know how far, come to South Play Street, the street is by the water, there are countless boats in the water, Zhao Qingyuan saw a group of children playing by the water, playing happily, he was curious, so he said to her: "Let's go and see?" Wang Nan nodded.

When the two of them went forward, they saw that there was a wooden boat in the water, and it was actually a race? Each boat is different, there are big and small, some people think that the bird flies fast, but also pressed the wings on the boat, looks more bulky, the result is not satisfactory, but let themselves rank behind, the two only saw a red boat, small and flexible, ranked first, and finally won the first place unexpectedly.

This is the end of the story, I want to know what happens next, and listen to the next breakdown.
