Chapter 42: My sister has a pair of these shoes
Take a hitchhike and follow Yuan Bao to the third prince Xia Yunlei of Qingcang Kingdom in the north, because the distance is slow and long, this walk is more than half a month. Only then did he cross the border and arrive at the first big northern city - Wanhua City.
The two-legged stand has been established for a long time, but in fact, few people in the underground world want war this day. However, it is the difference between the south and the north, and there are occasional wars on the border, but in the end, there are small fights between the two countries. It's also a kind of communication with some tacit consent.
The northerners are tall and strong, born brave, and their physique is much more atmospheric than that of the southerners. But he is brave and ruthless, and he is disdainful in the south, and he always thinks that he is a reckless man. Therefore, there is only such an existence as a mercenary organization in Qingcang Kingdom.
The southerners are good at writing, pay attention to complicated etiquette, and the northerners are good at martial arts, so it is really a country where heroes are born underground. Under such differences, the people of the two families naturally have a lot of estrangement in their hearts, but it is the common people who have been fighting the war from beginning to end.
Therefore, this frequent war has indeed made life difficult for the people on both sides, and trade exchanges have been reduced by at least fifty percent. The trade between the Yuan family and Qingcang Kingdom was also broken, if it weren't for the great joy of the princess of Qingcang Kingdom this time, it would be impossible for Yuan Bao to come instead of his father.
This line is about to be half a month, and the convoy has finally arrived in Wanhua City in the north, and is resting in the largest restaurant in the city at the moment.
The group of people almost filled the bottom floor of this drunken immortal building. The corners of the shopkeeper's mouth cracked. The cause and effect of the war made life really difficult for businessmen like them, especially since most of the people who received this drunken immortal building before were people from other countries, and only these are the best ways to make money.
The south is rich and knows how to sit down and enjoy, unlike the northerners, even the wealthy families, few often come to this winery to enjoy themselves, but going out hunting is the high-end life of these people.
This ingots and his party knew at a glance that this was probably just a caravan. The marriage of this princess can be regarded as a big day for the whole country to celebrate, and of course, this battle is also a rest. This has also made the caravans passing by in recent days have increased one after another. Looking at this situation today, I am afraid that it is a big man, and those Qingcang people in the distance are talking in a whisper.
"Son, serve the wine. ”
Xia Yunlei was on one of the tables and chairs with Yuan Bao at the moment, waving his hand and calling the busy shopkeeper.
This shout also made some passers-by around look at the two of them a few more times, which can't be blamed for their high profile. It's really not allowed by strength.
Needless to say, even if he is lazy and ruffian, then he is also a genuine prince, a person who has stayed in the forbidden land of the Southern Imperial City and the Shanyue Palace for more than ten years. The temperament is naturally different from the vulgar and reckless. And that ingot, not to mention, is the richest man in the south today, and may even be the richest man in the mainland, after all, there are no businessmen in the north.
It can be said that as long as it is something that can be bought with money, they are the best. Although Yuan Bao is honest and not good at business, he likes to practice, but he is the only son of the Yuan family, from many sisters and parents, to servants and housekeepers, no one does not love him. Dressed luxuriously, he doesn't lose to the prince at all, and I'm afraid he can't tattoo the dragon pattern.
It's no wonder that these two people in splendid jade clothes sit next to each other and don't attract attention.
"Hmm~ I heard that this northerner is still martial, and he has special respect for the Taoist immortal cultivator. I don't know if it's true or not. Xia Yunlei has been familiar with history and literature since he was a child, and he is very interested in these local cultures.
But he used to be a powerless prince, that is, a canary in the city, trapped in the cage of the imperial capital.
Now that it's finally come out, my vision is becoming more and more novel in the world.
The Qingcang Kingdom in the north is different from the southern country, due to the vast area, when the first king of the Qingcang Kingdom unified the thirteen counties in the north, there were many people with outstanding military achievements, so there were many foreign kings divided into feuds, which made the later emperors weak in power, in fact, in the past few hundred years, the royal family of the Qingcang Kingdom has been working hard to weaken the power of the foreign kings, and now the Phantom Qing Emperor, a hundred years ago, there are only three foreign kings left.
"Don't underestimate these three, they have been standing for hundreds of years, so there must be some background. "In Xiao Er, Xia Yunlei said.
"If it weren't for the separation of these three kings, how could this powerful Qingcang Kingdom be willing to share the continent with the southern country, and it would have been fought early. Moreover, now that Emperor Phantom Qing has no children under his knees, only three daughters, it may be difficult to inherit the throne. ”
Xia Yunlei even said and guessed, relying on some things he learned in the palace, he almost knew the reason why the dispute between the two countries broke out this time.
The original intention is to worship the Tao of Qingcang Country, and it is to ——— the central hall of the Ten Sects as the holy Tiandao Mountain, and respect it as Taoist orthodoxy.
It is said that this is because the ancestor of the Tiandao Mountain Creation Sect 10,000 years ago and the royal family of this Qingcang Kingdom belong to the same source. Moreover, the current Heavenly Dao Mountain Sect is one of the world's two uniques, and he is the same as the real person of Chaoxia Peak. They all belong to the ceiling of the combat power between heaven and earth. Moreover, every Heavenly Dao Mountain Sect Leader will be crowned a national teacher by Qingcang State.
Although Tiandao Mountain didn't care about this vanity at all, the world loved to eat this set, so his pious heart was even heavier.
"Tsk, but now this emperor seems to prefer a thigh like the Burning Heaven Sect. Xia Yunlei said happily.
These words were not deliberately avoided by the indentation, and they were said naturally, attracting displeased glances from some locals in Qingcang Kingdom. On the side, the ingots were very worried about the unobtrusive third prince.
But after all, if Xia Yunlei thinks about it himself, I'm afraid that most of them will leave Tiandao Mountain and join the Burning Heaven Sect. This rumor has already appeared, saying that the Heavenly Dao Mountain Palm Sect has passed away, and he didn't even participate in the last Ten Sect Conference, otherwise it would not be the turn of the Burning Heaven Sect to be the dominant family at the sect meeting.
Although this is something that catches the wind and shadows, it is unbelievable, but such a big move by the Burning Heaven Sect and the Qingcang Kingdom is clearly about to join forces, but the old immortal of Tiandao Mountain has not shown up, and even now there are fewer people who travel down the mountain like today.
It seems that the matter of these two families becoming a family is mostly a certainty.
"It's a pity, the emperor has an extra son-in-law, and half of the Qingcang Kingdom will be from the Burning Sky Sect in the future. I don't know what the princess is interested in the young sect master of the Burning Sky Sect. ”
Xia Yunlei basically said some unpleasant words, and Yuan Bao always thought that it was okay to whisper these words in private, but the third prince of this hanger didn't think so, and he still spread them in this public place and talked about it.
It's really a little embarrassing for Yuanbao.
Hum!
The slight angry snort in the distance made Xia Yunlei look over with interest. And the ingots on the side also heard it, but it was indeed a little embarrassed, and he squeezed his eyebrows at Xia Yunlei, which probably meant "Look, teach you to be unobtrusive here." ”
Xia Yunlei ignored the ingots, but smiled and asked the middle-aged man who was not good at him and dressed as a farmer.
"What, brother, am I not right?"
Hearing Xia Yunlei asking himself by name, the middle-aged man dressed as a farmer turned around and looked at Xia Yunlei.
"How do you know that the princess has taken a fancy to it. ”
The moment he turned around, Xia Yunlei saw clearly that the man was missing an arm, and he was a one-armed strong farmer.
Seeing that resolute expression and cold eyes, Xia Yunlei's expression was even more relaxed: "Guess, none of the three princesses of Qingcang Kingdom are married, but they just marry a little princess, if it is not for the two lovers, then could it be that this huge Qingcang Kingdom is forced?"
As soon as these words came out, the northerners in this room couldn't hold back their faces, and they all glared angrily.
In fact, in the hearts of the people, this is not a secret, and now when the Burning Heaven Sect is a big family, although it is an immortal sect and does not care about the world, but if you really want to raise the sect and enter the world, it is definitely unbearable for ordinary people.
Xia Yunlei's words are true, which stings the self-esteem of these northerners. But before these people could make any moves, the one-armed man with a resolute face stood up in a moment, the green tendons in his hands exposed, and there were faint ripples.
This person dressed as a strong peasant man is actually still a monk, looking at the aura fluctuations and dress, at most it is only a golden pill period, and it may still be a force cultivator.
was about to have a seizure, but suddenly the corners of his clothes were pulled, Xia Yunlei looked for it, and it turned out to be a girl with a sallow face and freckles sitting at the same table with this person.
The one-armed strong man seemed to be very attentive to this girl, and he didn't do anything after being dissuaded by her, but he really didn't want to see Xia Yunlei's smiling face again, and after scolding the bantam dog in the south, he hurriedly took the girl to the guest room on the second floor.
Xia Yunlei looked at the girl who was escorted by a strong man all the way to the second floor, with a smile in his eyes, and gently stared at the shoes on the girl's feet.
It was a pair of golden-threaded boots carved with a flying phoenix on the bottom of the clouds!
"What's wrong with you?" Yuan Bao on the side saw that he was calm down at this time, but he was also very confused, although Xia Yunlei was lazy and depraved in his heart, unkempt, but he was not a mean person, but as a prince, he was very easy-going. Today, this is the kind of singing that is played.
Xia Yunlei didn't care, when he heard Yuan Bao ask, he reached out and took off the shoes on his crossed legs, put them on the table and pointed: "My shoes are expensive." ”
Yuan Bao was shocked by his sudden strange behavior, but he still reacted, this is what the three princes should be, but he was still a little uncomfortable, his chubby body leaned back, and shook his head again and again: "Of course your boots are expensive, but I don't understand." ”
"The girl dressed as a peasant is much more luxurious than mine. ”
Accepting the shoes, Xia Yunlei quietly attached himself and said, "The golden shoes inlaid with phoenixes." Feng stepped on the clouds, and my sister also has a pair of shoes. ”
