Volume 1 Reminiscences of the Youth's Heart Chapter 43 The hood is bright
The remnants of the evening sun are like blood, quietly hanging on the horizon in the west of the sky, overlooking the whole world.
Peaceful and warm.
On the plains that can not be seen at a glance, the slightly withered yellow grass is supported by the warm wind, swaying back and forth, like a group of enthusiastic girls, beckoning guests from afar.
Bordering the plains is an equally boundless desert, with yellow sand shining golden and dazzling against the setting sun.
Occasionally, a gust of evening breeze blows, and the grains of yellow sand become like naughty children, chasing and playing in the warm evening breeze, setting off ripples.
The dusty scene contrasts with the tranquil plains, but it's just as mesmerizing.
I have to sigh at the magic of nature, such a chic but diametrically opposed two landscapes, it can actually make them blend together without a sense of disobedience.
As far as the eye can see, whether it is the beauty of the plain or the wildness of the desert, it is unobstructed and makes people see it all.
The most incredible thing is that the magnificent city that straddles the plain and the desert, the golden city is like a lion, proudly independent on the border of the plain and the desert, which is daunting.
The city covers an area of about 100 hectares, half of which spans the plains and the other half that goes deep into the desert.
Connected to the city is a wide and accessible central official road in the middle of the plain.
At this moment, two reddish-brown sturdy horses galloped from far and near on the official road in the middle of the plain.
The two horses went hand in hand, and both ran fast, but very steady, and it was clear at a glance that these two fast horses were rare and good horses.
On the backs of the two horses each carried a dusty figure.
It was not until the horses got closer that they could see their faces.
It's actually a middle-aged and a young man.
The two are fat and thin.
The people who came were Nie Donglai and Mu Guitian, and Nie Donglai at this time had already tied the Longquan Sword behind his back.
"Phew!"
After a while, two sweaty and bloody BMWs came to the city with the two of them, and the two of them reined in the BMW under their crotches at the same time, and then quickly jumped off the horse on the left and right.
Nie Donglai looked up at the city, and saw two rows of cold-faced guards with knives standing in a neat line at the gate of the city, staring ahead without squinting, without any expression on their faces, and without any emotion in their eyes, it seemed that the pedestrians coming and going in front of the city were like grass and trees in their eyes.
The city wall of the city is full of dozens of zhang high, at a glance, it is like a moat, towering into the clouds, the city gate alone is enough to be two or three zhang high, it is composed of two bronze giant gates, above the city gate is a huge golden plaque, the plaque is branded with three golden glittering big characters - Shengxuan City.
He couldn't help but exclaim, "What a majestic city!"
It was indeed the most spectacular city he had ever seen since he descended the mountain, and even the bustling town of Changxiao was as magnificent as this one.
Mu Guitian was not surprised at all, as if he had long been used to it, he didn't even look at the city, he just complained: "It's finally here, these two days are really exhausting." ”
Nie Donglai was speechless for a while, and said, "Fatty, this is the Shengxuan City you told me?"
Mu Guitian glanced at him and said angrily: "Aren't you talking nonsense?
As he spoke, he also pointed to the huge plaque on the city gate.
Nie Donglai said: "I saw it, but I didn't expect that there would be such a majestic city in the world." ”
Mu Guitian rolled his eyes and said disdainfully: "I said, can you not sit in the well and watch the sky? The world is so big, what is this?"
Nie Donglai asked, "Have you ever seen a more majestic city than this?"
Mu Guitian said: "Not only have you seen it, but you don't want to see who I am?"
Nie Donglai was suspicious and said, "Fatty, you shouldn't be bragging, right?"
Mu Guitian said: "Cut, God, do I need to blow it to you? not only me, but also ...... you."
Before he finished speaking, he stopped, then looked at Nie Donglai and sighed: "Alas, forget it, God, it's useless for me to tell you, anyway, you have lost your memory, and it's normal to not know." ”
Nie Donglai was stunned, suddenly stared at Mu Guitian and asked, "Fatty, you seem to know my past?"
Mu Guitian's face suddenly panicked, but he quickly covered it up, coughed dryly, and said, "God, how would I know, I just heard some words from others. ”
What he said was not all lies, everything he knew about Nie Donglai was indeed heard from other people's mouths.
Nie Donglai still stared at him and said, "Fatty, you didn't lie to me?"
Mu Guitian was a little furious in his heart when he stared at him, smiled far-fetched, and said, "How could it be? How could I lie to you?"
Nie Donglai had no choice but to withdraw his gaze.
Although Nie Donglai had a very strong feeling, he always felt that Mu Guitian seemed to have something to hide from him, and it seemed to be related to his own life experience, but Mu Guitian didn't say it, he didn't have any way, he couldn't put a sword on Mu Guitian's neck and force him to say it, he himself didn't have any hatred for Mu Guitian, he couldn't do this.
Mu Guitian seemed to be afraid that he would be entangled in this issue any longer, and hurriedly said, "Let's go, let's go to the city first." ”
So saying, he led the horse ahead and led the way.
Nie Donglai nodded, and had no choice but to follow him towards the city gate.
"Stop!"
As soon as the two of them reached the gate of the city, they were stopped by a man dressed as a guard with a knife in his hand.
Nie Donglai frowned, and just as he wanted to speak, Mu Guitian took the lead in speaking.
"Something?"
He glanced at the man casually and asked in a sloppy manner.
"The cost of entering the city, one silver ingot per person!"
The man with the knife said arrogantly.
Mu Guitian laughed and said, "God, why didn't I know that there was such a rule in Shengxuan City?"
The man holding the knife glanced at Mu Guitian casually, then withdrew his gaze and said casually: "Don't you know now?"
Mu Guitian said: "Aren't you pretending to be a public servant?"
When the man holding the knife heard this, he was immediately furious, pointed at Mu Guitian and said sharply: "Presumptuous, I see that you are impatient!"
Seeing that he made a look, the surrounding guards suddenly rushed up and surrounded Nie Donglai and Mu Guitian, with an unkind face.
attracted passers-by to point their fingers.
"Who are these two people? Even the guards guarding the city dare to offend?"
"Who knows? I don't know where the two stunned young men came from. ”
"That is, if you offend the guards of the city, it seems that you will suffer in the future. ”
"Isn't that person Liu Hao, the chief of the guard? He's notoriously sinister, and anyone who offends him won't end well. ”
"Who says it's not, the guards of the city are becoming more and more arrogant in Shengxuan City now. ”
"Hmph, a bunch of guys who eat soft and are afraid of hard!"
As soon as Mu Guitian wanted to have a seizure, Nie Donglai raised his hand to stop him, took out two ingots of silver from his body and handed them to the man holding the knife, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, official, my brother has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, and I hope that the official can open the net." ”
Nie Donglai wasn't afraid of these guards, but he was just a newcomer, and he didn't want to cause trouble for no reason, especially Mu Guitian was also involved.
And from the discussion of everyone just now, he already knew that this knife-wielding man named Liu Hao was not a good stubble, and he didn't want to offend these guards before he knew his details, after all, they were stationed here in an official capacity, and the main purpose of his descent this time was to find his own background and relatives.
He didn't want to make a fuss.
The man holding the knife quietly put away the silver ingot, patted Nie Donglai's shoulder, and said, "This little brother is still sensible!"
After speaking, he turned his head to Mu Guitian again, and said in a weird manner: "In the future, the cover will be brighter, not everyone you can offend." ”
