Chapter 20: Qianjintai
There has always been such a saying in the Eastern Wilderness Continent: Because there is light in the world, darkness will be born. The brightest light often hides the deepest darkness.
The imperial capital, a 10,000-year-old ancient capital piled up with epics and poems, where countless heroic legends circulate, is also a gathering place for the family, the powerful and powerful, and is the most dazzling pearl on the Eastern Wilderness Continent, there is no one. For thousands of years, in the hearts of the people of the Great Wilderness Country, it has always been the most desirable holy place.
Actually, it only refers to the imperial capital new city. The new city is prosperous and neat, with all kinds of tall buildings standing majestically, solemn and elegant everywhere, and the streets are full of traffic.
Separated by a river from the Imperial Capital New City is the Imperial Capital Old City, also known as the Imperial Capital North City. Once, about 10,000 years ago, this was the real imperial capital. According to legend, 10,000 years ago, there were two powerful people in the Great Wilderness Country who fought for a day and a night in the imperial capital Beicheng, directly turning Beicheng into ruins. Later, the imperial capital was re-established in the south across the river.
Of course, not all rumors are true. Later, Wu Lu learned that the so-called old city of the imperial capital was nothing more than a compilation made up by Beicheng in order to beautify its own filth. From beginning to end, Beicheng is nothing more than a slum area in the imperial capital, and there has never been a legendary story of the strongest person defeating the imperial capital.
From south to north, although there is only a river apart, it is the difference between heaven and hell. If the Imperial Capital New City is the safest and most orderly place in the Great Wilderness Country, then the Imperial Capital North City is the most chaotic and debauched place in the Eastern Wilderness Continent. Therefore, an unattainable wall was built on the south side of the river to ensure that the people of the northern city could not break into the new city at will.
After entering the north city from the only stone bridge, what Wu Wulu saw was a completely different scenery from the new city, compared with the busy traffic and noisy shouting of the new city, the eyes were full of dilapidated old buildings, the streets were empty, the garbage could be seen everywhere, and the air was filled with a pungent smell.
At the urging of the stone bridge guards, Wu Lu walked into the city and disappeared.
Towards evening, there was a commotion at the stone bridge, and then a convoy crossed the stone bridge and appeared in the northern city. It was a convoy of dozens of people, with not only numerous guards with knives, but also several elderly people, each exuding extremely powerful original energy.
The convoy drove slowly along Beicheng Street, and soon after, it came to a golden palace. The palace is lavishly decorated and out of place with the dilapidated buildings that surround it, but no one finds it inappropriate. Because the name of this palace is Qianjintai.
Qianjintai, as the name suggests, is one of the four major sales vaults in the Eastern Wilderness Continent, and it is also the largest casino and brothel in the imperial capital, as well as the largest auction house. As long as you have enough wealth, there is something for all your needs.
There have been people who have won a huge mountain of gold here, and there have been people who have lost a rich city here.
Immediately afterwards, five or six young men came out of the convoy, all of them eighteen or nineteen years old, all of them handsome, high-eyed, well-dressed, and each of them had an entourage of attendants, all of which showed that their backgrounds were extremely extraordinary.
At this moment, in a dark, backlit corner, a pair of falcon-like eyes coldly scanned the convoy, and then quickly disappeared.
One of the young men in white seemed to feel something, and looked up, but saw that the sun was still shining in the west, and people did not dare to look at it directly. Maybe it's because he's coming back soon, so he's been getting suspicious lately. The young man in white secretly laughed at himself.
"What's wrong? Yiqing. The young man next to him asked.
"It's fine." Li Yiqing shook his head.
Then, the group of young people walked into this legendary Qianjintai under the guidance of the waiter.
Soon after, darkness fell. As the night deepened, it was like an abyssal mouth engulfing the entire northern city in darkness.
As if echoing the dark curtain of the sky, Qianjintai also began to be dressed in red and green, and all opened the windows upstairs, generously pouring light into the street, illuminating the entire northern city with bright lights and dazzling.
At some point, the originally empty street was also crowded with pedestrians who appeared out of nowhere, and the whole northern city began to be noisy.
So in an instant, the North City changed from an empty city to a paradise of sound and color. It seems that an old woman who was originally dying and about to die instantly turned into a beautiful girl full of vitality and vitality.
Qianjintai backyard, in an independent small attic.
The decoration in the room was extremely extravagant, the six apple-sized blood-red night pearls placed on the single wall were already priceless, and the floor was also covered with several thick layers of gorgeous silk. At this time, all kinds of expensive utensils in the room were in chaos, and all kinds of gorgeous clothes were thrown around. Obviously, a tragic "big war" has just been experienced here.
"Brother Qing, with your current progress, you will be able to become a military general in less than half a year. At that time, you will be the first person of the young generation in the imperial capital. The woman's eyes were watery and she was half-lying on the bed, her face still flushed.
This woman is extremely beautiful, from a distance, you will think that she is a goblin who confuses all beings, when you look closely, you will feel that she is cold and arrogant, and if you look at it in detail, you will feel that she is dignified and beautiful, and noble. It's hard to imagine that a woman can contain so many temperaments at the same time, and people can't feel anything wrong at all.
If Xiao Yu'er is a fairy flower that dominates the world, then this woman is a demon flower that bewitches all beings.
"Without Sister Feng's support, there would be no Li Yiqing today." Li Yiqing respectfully knelt under the bed and pinched this woman's feet, which was completely untouchable.
"I remember that your genius eldest brother, known as the marshal of the Great Wilderness Country, is also a nineteen-year-old breakthrough general, if you achieve the position of a military general at the same age, I think your elders who ignore you will have a very wonderful face." The woman squinted and enjoyed the tenderness of the young man's hands.
"Sister Feng's grace, Yiqing will never dare to forget." Li Yiqing skillfully fiddled with the woman's feet, obviously he often did this kind of thing.
Every time he faced this woman, Li Yiqing was extremely conflicted in his heart. For this most expensive and popular woman in Qianjintai, Li Yiqing can't tell whether she is mostly afraid, or love, or just nostalgic for her body. But in any case, she is the most important woman in Li Yiqing's life so far.
Once, in the past when Li Yiqing had not yet become famous, he Li Yiqing was just an extremely ordinary child of the Li family. Obviously having the same father and mother, his eldest brother is praised by the family as a once-in-a-century genius, and is regarded by the family as a hope to become strong.
I don't know if it was his parents who passed on their talents to his genius brother, which caused him to run out when he was born. His talent in the original ability is mediocre compared to the genius big brother, and even other ordinary Li family disciples are far inferior to him, Li Yiqing.
In this great wilderness country that advocates force, in this family that respects strength, as a descendant, his situation is even more difficult, and he has also suffered more white eyes. For this reason, he worked harder than others, he also burned incense in front of the Buddha, and also bowed in front of the Tao, in the end, he is still the waste talent that everyone laughs at.
In the end, he finally despaired, and he scolded the sky. Maybe it was the old genius who heard his curse, and at this time, this woman named Shui Fengxian appeared in front of him. Soon after that, the Li family in the imperial capital suddenly had another top genius born, and the imperial capital also began to circulate a legendary story of a waste talent counterattacking into a genius from that time.
As a descendant of a family, Li Yiqing's knowledge is far from being comparable to that of ordinary children, especially as he grows older, Li Yiqing understands that his own path is not recognized by the world. He hesitated and thought about various possibilities, but he never thought of giving up this kind of exercise, because he didn't want to turn back into that wasted talent who was looked down upon. At this moment, he is like a patient addicted to poppy smoking, knowing that it is harmful to his body, but he still can't help but smoke it.
We met when I was 10 years old and have been doing so far. The woman in front of her never made any other requests except for teaching the exercises and assisting Li Yiqing in practicing. This made Li Yiqing's heart even more uneasy, there has never been a lunch of free food in the world, and the people in the Demon Gate have always paid attention to harming others and profiting. A person in the demon gate who is not related by blood is good for you everywhere, if it is not emotional, it means that there are greater intentions. If it is a relationship, what kind of love can a woman have for a 10-year-old child?
"As long as I am not asked to do things that endanger my family or betray the Great Wilderness Country, I will admit it." A long time ago, Li Yiqing secretly made up his mind.
Shui Fengxian felt the complicated mood of the young man in front of the bed, as a female devil who grew up in the demon gate of deceit, she was not the kind of delicate little lady. Li Yiqing's thoughts are clear at a glance, but she is not worried at all.
From simplicity to luxury, and then from luxury to simplicity. If Li Yiqing wants to give up everything now and become that waste who is bullied again, even if it is his own father, he can't do it. Not giving up all this means that he will never be able to get rid of himself.
She prepared as many as six chess pieces like Li Yiqing, and began to lay them out as early as ten years ago. Shui Fengxian thought proudly, men conquer the world, and this palace conquers men.
