Chapter 56 What a Los Angeles
The surface of the carriage was dark and glowing with a heavy metallic texture, as if it was made of stainless steel throughout, with intricate patterns carved on it.
It's familiar.
The last thing Ning Shu saw in the crack of the door was such a black carriage.
The curtain of the door was raised in the wind, and there was no one inside, for the man who was supposed to be sitting inside was now on his horse.
The wheels pressed against the bluestone floor, leaving a shallow rut in its wake.
"What's wrong with you?"
"You're a monk of the Divine Realm, so you shouldn't be stupid by this bit of formation. ”
Yuan Youtao turned his head and noticed that Ning Shu's expression was a little sluggish.
"This carriage ......," Ning Shu said softly.
"Oh, oh, you said this carriage, it is a carriage specially equipped by the Imperial Military Department for the four marquis, you see the cloud and thunder patterns on it, in fact, they are specially carved by cultivators who are proficient in the formation of the Taoist Department, if it is not for these lines, this ground will definitely not be able to bear the weight of the carriage, it can be said that this carriage is a magic weapon that can be attacked and defended. ”
Looking at this Marquis Xu, who was deeply loved by the court and the people, he didn't believe that he would do such a thing as slaughtering the village.
So Ning Shu asked, "Where was Hou Ye Xu more than a month ago?"
"A month ago?"
"A month ago, Master Hou must have been fighting in the Northern Wilderness Frontier. ”
"This is one of the few times Hou Ye has returned to Los Angeles. ”
Yuan Youtao replied without hesitation.
In just three sentences, the heart that originally saw the possibility fell silent again, if it wasn't for this Northern Wilderness Marquis, who would it be?
The same army is murderous, the same black carriage.
Could it be the other three Hou Ye?
Ning Shu stood on the side of the road, looking at the black carriage that slowly drove through the middle of the road, and the three hundred armor soldiers following behind, feeling the familiarity that came to his face, thinking about the pictures buried in the depths of his brain, his mind was very confused.
In this way, after Hou Ye's car and his entourage disappeared in Banshi Town, Ning Shu and Yuan Youtao continued on the road.
The number of people on both sides of the road suddenly decreased by more than half, and the town began to be lively, and every household opened their shops and stalls, and everyone began a new day.
Sitting in front of the bun shop, Ning Shu was silent, Yuan Youtao stuffed two buns into his mouth, looked at Ning Shu after chewing frantically, and asked in a trembling voice: "You don't want to fight with Hou Ye Xu, do you?" You are not his opponent, he is much more powerful than Lu Xingyi. ”
"What nonsense, I'm thinking about the war on the frontier. Ning Shu picked up a bun with chopsticks and took a bite.
After thinking about it, he decided not to tell Yuan Youtao about this matter, although it may be more convenient to find out some things with the help of Yuan Youtao's power, but he still decided to solve this matter alone.
It's his own business.
Fortunately, there is at least a vague clue now, although I don't know if it's reliable, but in the territory of the Divine Dynasty, which has such strict restrictions on cultivators, it has the aura of an army, and it has the exclusive carriage of Lord Hou, and it can also kill a cultivator of Mr. Song's level.
Able to meet the above conditions at the same time.
There are really not many such people.
At least it's much better than wanting revenge without a goal like before.
Thinking of this, Ning Shu felt that it was very important to improve his cultivation, because the strength of that unknown revenge target would inevitably be very strong.
So he wants to enter Taifu.
Taifu in the back mountain.
......
......
After eating and drinking, Yuan Youtao patted his ass and prepared to leave, and then found that he didn't bring any money.
On weekdays, when Young Master Yuan paid the bill in person, when there was not a sign up, the shopkeeper had to nod and send Young Master Yuan out.
The shopkeeper looked at Yuan Youtao.
Yuan Youtao also looked at the shopkeeper.
Young Master Yuan frowned, and said uncertainly: "There is a peach house." Yuan Youtao. ”
Because he wasn't sure if this kind of roadside shop in the town would buy Young Master Yuan's account, because Young Master Yuan rarely ate this kind of roadside stall.
Sure enough, the shopkeeper did not show the flattering smile of the big hotel owner, but looked at the fat man in front of him like an idiot, and said: "Yuan Youtao? ”
Yuan Youtao listened to the accent of the shopkeeper full of Gutian Dao, and his face was full of black lines, and he looked at the four big cages of xiaolongbao on his table, and he was a little cramped for a while.
Young Master Yuan has never been the kind of person who doesn't give money for eating, but he really didn't bring any money with him today, and when he got off the boat before, he made it convenient and didn't ask his subordinates to follow.
But...... It's really wrong not to pay for it after eating.
You can't put the jade pendant on your body, a piece of jade pendant is worth four cages of steamed buns, and the always shrewd Young Master Yuan can't do this.
So he turned his head to look at Ning Shu.
Ning Shu held back a smile and paid the money, and the shopkeeper left with a satisfied face.
"What a broken store, sooner or later, I'm going to bankrupt his family. Walking on the path, Yuan Youtao said hatefully.
did not choose Dongcheng Avenue, because the previous lesson had made Ning Shu and the others understand that Hou Ye's team was ahead, and it must be the enthusiastic and crowded people of Los Angeles along the way.
So they chose the field path next to Dongcheng Boulevard.
The pastoral scenery in late spring is very beautiful, unlike outside Jinling, Los Angeles is closer to the north, and the crops grown in the fields are slightly different, but the same is the same beautiful spring scenery.
Butterflies fly in front of Ning Shu's eyes, fluttering lightly, like a piece of paper, flapping their wings, but full of vitality of life, I don't know if with the fanning of this butterfly wings, will there be a gust of wind in the distance.
The fragrance of wildflowers in the field is very charming.
Looking at the scenery along the way, thinking about Los Angeles in front of me, since starting from Ping'an City, there have been many twists and turns along the way, and the destination is in front of you at this time.
The haze that lingered in my heart in the past was swept away, and I couldn't hide my joy and excitement in my heart.
Ning Shu was in a good mood.
Yuan Youtao was also in a good mood, pointing to the vegetables in the vegetable field, the pigs in the fence of the farmhouse, and the chickens on the roof of the village along the way, and introduced Ning Shu to what kind of dishes these things could be made, how to make them the most delicious, and what parts were the most valuable.
All the way down, there were five pigs and seven or eight chickens that were poisoned by Young Master Yuan.
Enjoy it and be at ease.
Everything is a symbol that a new life is about to begin.
......
......
It is natural that a horse-drawn carriage is faster than on foot.
When Ning Shu and Yuan Youtao were still enjoying the scenery on the field road, Marquis Xu's team had already arrived at the imperial capital of Luocheng.
The imperial court gave this marquis who had guarded the frontier for decades, defended the country without complaints, and made immortal military exploits.
Three hundred soldiers were placed in the military camp outside Los Angeles, waiting for His Majesty's recruitment after his own marquis reported to work.
The east gate of Los Angeles has long been cleaned, flowers are placed on both sides of the road, the court musicians play solemn music, the national teacher takes the civil and military officials out of the city to wait, and the nobles and celebrities are waiting in the city.
Xu Houye turned over and dismounted, leading the horse towards the city gate.
For this young marquis, the officials of the DPRK and China are very fond of it, whether it is for political purposes or personal friendships.
Xie Ximeng was standing beside Daoist Shangshu Ji Xunli at this time, looking up at Hou Ye Xu from time to time.
When the Hou Ye and the civil and military officials all greeted each other.
The two looked at each other.
Xu Fengnian beckoned to Xie Ximeng and motioned for him to come over, Xie Ximeng wanted to retreat, but was pushed out by Ji Xunli.
"I know you, you're nice. ”
Xie Ximeng didn't expect Hou Ye to say such a thing as soon as he opened his mouth, you must know that in addition to the identity of Hou Ye, Xu Fengmian is also a peerless powerhouse comparable to the Returning to the Void Realm, and it is not bad to be praised by Hou Ye, that is the honor of the children of the God Dynasty, he secretly rejoiced in his heart, but replied very modestly: "Thanks to Hou Ye's false praise." ”
Xu Fengmian nodded, but the next sentence made Xie Ximeng almost cry.
"When I play Your Majesty tomorrow, you can go north to the frontier with me, be my adjutant, and have a good experience, how can the first person of the younger generation of my god dynasty not go through the battlefield? Don't waste a good talent. ”
.......
.......
Walking all the way, through the forest, through the ridges of the fields, about a few hours later, a shadow shrouded the heads of Ning Shu and Yuan Youtao.
Looking up, a mottled and heavy city wall spread out in front of Ning Shu's eyes, and the huge stone bricks three meters thick were overlapped together, covering half of the sky and the sun on the horizon.
This thousand-year-old wall, washed by wind and rain, is still standing today, and it still looks indestructible, and it will not collapse in the future.
The stretching city wall was just like what Ning Shu had seen from afar on the boat before, and he didn't know how many miles it stretched out to both sides, and he couldn't see the end at a glance.
"Look! It's here!" Yuan Youtao pointed to the East City Gate, which had resumed the flow of people and traffic not far away.
Ning Shu looked at it and sighed in his heart, the flow of people in and out alone was twice as much as that of Jinling City.
It is worthy of being the center of the human race in the world.
In the sky, flocks of geese flew under the clouds, and from the distant southern town they flew straight around the towering city walls and into Los Angeles.
It's spring time again.
The flock of geese has its own goals and pursuits.
So is Ning Shu.
He had a delightful smile on his face.
L.A., I'm coming.
