Chapter 39: The Inner City

Yu City is huge.

If you want to go all the way from the edge of the outer city to the inner city, you even need to ride a horse.

Chen Mu is located in Jiutiaoli, which is not far from the inner city, just moderate, and he is now strong on his feet, so he naturally walks quietly, does not swagger through the city, and soon crosses the streets and alleys.

The closer you are to the streets of the inner city, the cleaner and more spacious they are, and the more popular they become.

Of course.

It is also limited to broad daylight.

Because in broad daylight, near the inner city, there are basically officials patrolling everywhere, and people with a little money and power will hire nursing homes, and hooligans and ruffians basically can't get along here.

But at night, this kind of relatively wealthy place is more attractive to those thieves, after all, no matter how close it is to the inner city, it is still only an outer city after all, and at night it is left to everyone, including the city guard.

"Inner City ......"

Chen Mu kept going north, walking quickly along the streets and alleys, and I don't know how long it took, he finally arrived at the inner city of this Yu City, which was also the first time he came to the inner city.

In the past, I had only heard people say it, and there was no direct feeling, but at this time, I couldn't help but feel a little shocked in my heart, because the city wall of the inner city was much thicker and taller than the outer city, and I was afraid that it was far beyond the kind of city wall in his previous life!

I don't know what material the entire city wall is made of, and under the reflection of the sun, there is even a faint luster of gold and iron shining, and a deep moat is dug outside.

"No wonder the inner city is a completely different world, such a towering and solid city wall, no matter how riotous the outer city is, it can't affect the inside."

Chen Mu looked up at the towering city wall for a moment and shook his head slightly.

Then he went straight to the gate of the inner city.

The gates of the inner city are also very tightly guarded, anyone entering and leaving must be inspected in detail, and ordinary people are not qualified to enter at all, ordinary civilians want to enter, they have to spend a lot of money to buy a special inner city waist card.

Chen Mu came to the city gate and showed the city guard the waist card of the city guard.

The city gate guard took a look at the waist card, then handed it back to Chen Mu, and said expressionlessly: "Go in, but remember to come out before nightfall, you can't spend the night inside." ”

Chen Mu nodded, signaling understanding.

He learned from Min Baoyi that the waist card of the poor head can enter the inner city, but he is not qualified to buy a house in the inner city to live in for a long time, and even if the inner city is more heavily defended, the poor head can only enter and exit within a single day.

Only when you arrive at the mission can you be eligible to live in the inner city for a long time, and you can also buy a house...... Of course, if Chen Mu really wants to go to the inner city and has enough money to buy real estate in the inner city, then it is easy to find Xu Hongyu.

Chen Mu is just thinking about buying real estate in the inner city now.

The exaggerated price of tens of thousands of taels of silver for any piece of mansion made him temporarily prohibitive.

Entered the inner city.

At first glance, it is indeed two worlds from the outer city.

The open street is smooth, there are no potholes, and there are restaurants and shops on both sides, and the decoration is exquisite, and the people who come in and out are not wearing silk and satin, but also wearing clean robes, and the expression is leisurely.

Chen Mu was also wearing a cyan robe, which was the most decent robe he had bought for ten taels of silver, but it was very common in the inner city, and it didn't attract any attention when it blended into the crowd.

Keep going inside.

There is no single hut to be seen, all the living areas in the backstreets are all high and deep compounds, and at a glance there are at least three or four mansions, and some even directly occupy a large area.

Although it was the first time to come to the inner city, Chen Mu did not lose his direction, the Yu family martial arts hall was easy to find, it was on the territory of the Yu family, and the Yu family occupied a large part of the inner city to the east, which he had already understood.

Soon.

Chen Mu found the Yu Family Martial Arts Pavilion.

It is said to be a martial arts hall, but in fact it is also a very open area, nested by many complex courtyards, and the east and west sides are divided, a large area on the east side is the men's courtyard, and the other side is a much smaller courtyard for the women.

Chen Mu went around and came to the main entrance of the women's hospital, walked over and knocked on the door.

"Who?"

After a while, someone opened the door halfway, it was a woman in her thirties, with a solemn expression, and when she saw Chen Mu standing outside the door, she frowned and looked at it.

Chen Mu quickly explained his intentions.

"Oh, Chen Yue."

The woman nodded, her brows slightly soothed, but she didn't let Chen Mu enter the door, only let Chen Mu wait by the door.

Probably another moment passed.

The door opened again, and a familiar figure appeared at the door, it was Chen Yue, who had been absent for five months.

In just five months, the change is very big, not only has he grown half a head taller, but the somewhat immature baby face in the past has also grown, although it is still green, but it is more girly, whether it is complexion or others, it is better than before.

"Brother!"

Chen Yue walked over happily, but he didn't pounce on Chen Mu all at once as before, but was a little more reserved like a girl, and only looked at Chen Mu happily.

Chen Mu glanced at Chen Yue up and down, showing a hint of a smile, and sighed in his heart that the little girl had grown up a lot, and looking at her complexion and appearance, she was obviously doing well in the Yu Family Martial Academy, so she was much more relieved.

"The outer city is too chaotic, and I can't spare time, how are you staying here during this time?"

Chen Mu habitually touched Chen Yue's head, and then led her to a big banyan tree not far away.

Chen Yue still looked a little honest, tilted his head and said, "It's okay, it's just that I'm very tired from practicing, but I've met a lot of people, and Master Yu takes care of me very much...... My brother must have had a hard time practicing knives at the beginning. ”

At the beginning, she watched Chen Mu practice knives, but she didn't feel anything, she only knew that Chen Mu was working hard.

Now that she is learning swords in the martial arts academy, she feels that it is difficult, she has been practicing for nearly five months, and her swordsmanship is only a small success, and she is still a little short of Dacheng, and I heard that Dacheng to the level of consummation is the most difficult level, and there are very few people who can pass.

As long as you can practice your swordsmanship to perfection and practice your sword momentum before the age of twenty-five, then you will have a different status in the Yu Family Martial Arts Pavilion, become a so-called 'Inner Courtyard Disciple', and the supply of resources will also be more.

"Hmm."

Chen Mu listened to Chen Yue's words, and said calmly: "How can there be any ease in practicing, every drop of sweat is a gain, I can practice to the current level, and I have also experienced cold and summer." ”

I learned from Chen Yue that she has now practiced a dripping rain swordsmanship, and has practiced to Xiaocheng, and the skin grinding method has also been practiced to the point of Xiaocheng, and is steadily advancing towards Dacheng, and it is estimated that in two or three months, the swordsmanship and dermabrasion method will be completed.

This entry is indeed very good.

Within a year, it is generally relatively rare to be able to practice swordsmanship and dermabrasion method, like Ren Yan of the City Guard, who practiced martial arts in the inner city a long time ago, and now it has been more than a year, but it has not yet reached the level of both methods.
