Chapter 91: Entering Tai'an for the first time
After the four of them had eaten and drunk, they left the tavern, and the groom brought the carriage and several people got into the carriage and prepared to set off again.
As soon as I got into the carriage and had not yet driven the horse, a voice came from outside, "Can you give me a ride?"
Inside the carriage, Qin Sishan opened the curtain and looked out when he heard the sound, and Liu Yi was also curious and stood up and looked out.
At this glance, he was stunned, only to see a woman standing outside the carriage, with long black hair and a shawl, a black dress that was close to the body, and her facial features were even more exquisite, especially a pair of eyes that attracted him deeply.
Although he hadn't seen many women, this one was probably the most beautiful he had ever seen.
Qin Sishan, who was also a woman, didn't have such a stupid reaction as him, she looked at the woman outside the car and asked, "Where are you going?"
The woman replied, "I'm going to Tai'an City, I wonder if you can take a ride?"
Liu Yi was puzzled, "How could it be so coincidental that she also went to Tai'an City?" But Qin Sishan didn't seem to think too much, and asked her to sit up.
There was another beauty in this small carriage, and a fragrance filled it.
The two teenagers behaved differently, Yu An looked at the strange woman curiously, and Liu Yi did not look at her directly.
He had only been in the tavern that he had learned the phrase that people should not be discognizable, and although the strange woman did not seem to be the slightest threat, he did not dare to let down his guard at will.
Yu An didn't think about anything else, he just felt that this woman was very beautiful and attracted his gaze involuntarily.
After the woman sat down, the coachman raised the short whip, and the carriage moved slowly, and Liu Yi and Yu An had no opinion on Qin Sishan's decision to let the strange woman get on the car.
Because she is also the lifesaver of the two, and her sophisticated performance along the way has also made the two trust her.
The horses' hooves were flying and the dust was splashing, and the coachman was galloping down the road with a lot of drink, and the atmosphere in the carriage was very dull.
At this time, although Qin Sishan had short hair, he was also a woman, and when a woman appeared in a small space, a woman with a taller figure and a better figure than herself, the atmosphere became subtle.
The atmosphere of silence was depressing, and the strange woman looked at Yu An with a smile, and Yu An's cheeks flushed at her look.
When the woman saw him like this, she wanted to tease him, and she asked, "Little brother, where are you going?"
Yu An's cheeks flushed and said, "I, we're going to Tai'an City." ”
His shy appearance caused the woman to smile, and she said, "It seems that my luck is very good. ”
The woman's smile was so bright that he laughed too.
Qin Si lifted the curtain on the side of the carriage and stretched her head out, she looked at the scenery outside in a daze, and didn't care about the conversation in the carriage.
The carriage ran wild on the road until nightfall, and the group drove to a small town, where they found an inn to stay.
This place is not far from Taean City, and it only takes two hours to arrive by road early tomorrow morning.
Unlike the town that Liu Yi and the others arrived from the Taoist temple, the inn in this town was very lively.
They were a little surprised that there were so many people in a small inn.
After a long time, several people found an empty table and sat down to fill their stomachs first, but this little two was very busy, and it took a long time to shout before someone came to greet him.
"I'm really embarrassed, the shop is too busy today, and I want to eat something. ”
The shopkeeper was still sweating on his head when he spoke, and seeing that he looked like this, it was hard to blame, Qin Sishan said, "Let's not talk about eating, do you still have any vacant rooms here?"
"Yes, most people will continue their journey to Tai'an City after eating tonight. ”
"What are you doing on your way to Tai'an City so late?" Qin Sishan was a little puzzled.
Xiao Er looked at her strangely and explained: "Guest officer, don't you know that this month is the month when Jiang Guo recruits troops? Those people are all in a hurry to join the army. ”
Listening to his words, Liu Yi looked around and found that as he said, most of them were young and strong men, and there were many Jianghu people with weapons.
Hearing that there was a vacant room, a few people were relieved, and ordered a few side dishes to wrap their stomachs first.
After eating, the five of them opened three ground houses, and each went back to his room.
The moonlight is like ink, and the inn is still very lively, and the sound of pushing cups and changing lamps keeps coming from downstairs, and the time is still early, Liu Yi sat cross-legged on the bed and cultivated.
In the past few days since he left the sect, he has not stopped cultivating his own aura, but he has not made the slightest progress, and he has only mobilized him when he threw chains at that person.
And when he was cultivating at the moment, that trace of breath was actually motionless, which made Liu Yi feel very confused in his heart.
He didn't think about practicing to perfection in a blink of an eye, but the lack of progress every day also made him wonder.
Opening his eyes, he muttered to himself, "Is it only when you are fighting that you can show the effect of this breath?"
Thinking of this, he felt a little bored in his heart, and Yu An and the coachman in the house had already slept, so he walked to the edge of the room and pushed open the wooden window to look out.
The cold wind of the night blew through his mind and cleared his mind, and the boredom in his heart swept away, and the streets were silent except for the sound of night cats echoing in the town.
After a moment of daz, sleepiness swept over, and he closed the wooden window and went back to bed.
At sunrise, a few people woke up one by one, and after a simple breakfast, they set off from the town again.
Along the way, it took less than two hours to reach the foot of Tai'an City.
Tai'an City is different from other cities, this city is built against the mountain, from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain is wrapped in layers of buildings built by Jiang craftsmen.
From a distance, a circle of stone walls wraps around the mountain, dividing the city into eight layers, this city is not large and the population is small, and it is a place dedicated to training Jiang soldiers.
And the most special place of this city is the most pinnacle of the mansion, the pavilion is towering and extraordinary, this place is the place where Jiang Huayun, the cousin of Emperor Jiang, King of Tai'an, is located.
The king of Taean garrisoned 100,000 troops here and built this easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack city of Taean, which was mostly inhabited by soldiers, and there was also a school dedicated to training generals.
During this month of conscription, the military-focused mountain town becomes even more lively.
Liu Yi and his entourage entered the city after a search at the city gate, and the place where the first few people went was the carriage shop, returned the carriage, and then went to find Yu An's residence.
After entering the city, the carriage drove slowly, surrounded by mostly soldiers in armor, and Liu Yi stuck his head out of the carriage and looked curiously.
Before he even entered the city, he was amazed by the peculiar grandeur of the city's appearance, and it was even more novel.
The crooked streets are different from other cities, and the houses are all made of stones, and there is no elaborate carving, which is very simple but very neat.
Soon after the carriage had gone, it had come up a slope that meandered and they had reached the second level, which was somewhat different, and there were vendors on the side of the street that they had not seen before.
There was a hint of excitement when there was a shouting voice, and the carriage stopped when they walked down a street, and the four of them got out of the carriage and saw the carriage shop in front of them.
The sign of the carriage shop was hung at the door of the house, which was still made of stones, and everyone left the place after saying goodbye to the coachman.
Out of the carriage shop, a few people but there is no direction, this Tai'an City has eight floors, and Yu An only remembers a West Market, so where should they start.
Now that she had arrived at the place, the woman in black no longer walked with them, she bowed to a few people and took her leave.
"Then let's look at it layer by layer. ”
Hearing Liu Yi's words, Qin Sishan couldn't help but glance at him, this city has eight floors, and if you find it, you will not be able to find Yu An's residence when it is dark.
But now that they are not familiar with the place, what other way can Qin Sishan looked at Yu An again and asked, "Yu An, you are thinking carefully about how many floors you live in." ”
"Hmm.....," Yu An said after a long thought of it, "I just remember that we lived on a high place, and I often overlooked the whole city. ”
"Overlook...."The two of them listened to Yu An's words and looked up, looking up at the very top of the city, and then the two looked at each other and shook their heads.
They also inquired about Tai'an City before they came, and they knew who lived at the top, and Yu An was not surnamed Jiang, and he obviously didn't live there.
Liu Yi also felt ridiculous about the thoughts in his heart, and the three of them had no other way but to look for them layer by layer.
Since Yu An's memories overlooking the city, the second and third floors were obviously low, and several people went straight to the fourth floor.
The three of them walked in the direction of the upper floor, and along the way, they saw houses with similar shapes on both sides, and they didn't wonder why Yu An couldn't remember where he lived.
The first floor was not far apart, but they were on the east side and it would take them half an hour to reach the west.
Three-storey West Market.
After walking a long staircase, several people stepped into the third floor, which was different from the second floor, which was bustling with people.
The third floor is the place where the conscription registration in Tai'an City is registered, so there are a lot of people.
Hawkers on both sides of the street are selling at full strength, one of the few opportunities in a year where you can earn for several months at a time.
Liu Yi and Qin Sishan walked side by side beside Yu An, walking slowly through the crowd and looking for places that Yu An could recall.
But he didn't give any clue other than being able to overlook the city from above.
The houses were lined up and there was no cold wind, which made them feel that this place was no different from being on flat ground.
When it was noon, several people had already turned around the West Market, but Yu An didn't recall anything at this level.
Liu Yi and the others were a little helpless, and they inevitably thought in their hearts, didn't this kid ever go out?
What he got was Yu An's sentence: The family is too big, he has always been at home, and it is a carriage when he goes out, so he doesn't know what this city looks like.
Unexpectedly, this young man was still a rich child, which surprised the two of them.
But this has nothing to do with the two of them, they just want to find where Yu An lives as soon as possible.
After all, it's too inconvenient to take him around.
Yu An's identity didn't make them react much, and Liu Yi was only interested in cultivation now.
It was already a meal, and a few people kept hurrying to find it, and the stomach was already empty, so I randomly found a roadside stall to fill my stomach first, and then went to the fourth floor to continue to find Yu An's residence.
