Chapter 1 Jiangning County
The sky is as blue as a fine porcelain plate. A few white clouds floated on the horizon. It is as white and soft as silk.
The breeze was blowing. With a hint of gore!
"Haha. Castle peak. These robbers are just sending us silver!" Qinghu laughed. A robber's body is being searched on the ground. There were eighteen corpses around the road. There was horror in the eyes of this corpse. Or madness. And at the moment. All covered in blood. Fall to the ground.
The eighteen robbers. It is part of the bandit gang that robbed and killed Teng Qingshan and Teng Qinghu just now.
Teng Qingshan and Teng Qinghu teamed up to kill so many robbers. and slew the bandit again. The other robbers scattered in fright and fled.
"We're not riding. And just carrying a package on his back. Doesn't look like he's armed with anything. The robbers don't rob us. Who are you robbing?" Teng Qingshan laughed. They also searched for gold and silver in their arms.
"Aoyama. Don't say it. This robber is found for silver. It's a pleasure. Qinghu laughed. "You're still smart. At first, I was going to. Let's hurry as fast as possible. One day, I rushed to Jiangning County. If then in a hurry. I don't think I can get any money. β
Yicheng is not far from Jiangning County
Jiangning County. In the east of Yichengdi. Teng Qingshan, they don't need to go around Dayan Mountain. Just follow the open road. It's about 300 miles away. This is a little bit of a journey. Teng Qingshan and Teng Qinghu can arrive within a day.
"That Guiyuan Sect only accepts people in Yanxia. One day each in the cold winter. One is June 12. One is the sixth day of the lunar month!" Teng Qingshan stood up. Count the silver. As he spoke. "Let's go to the ground on the morning of the third day of the lunar month. What's the hurry? Otherwise, we will arrive at Jiangning County. It's also a waste of money for the guest house!"
"Listen to the green hills. That's right. Qinghu counted the broken silver in his hand. Very proudly "Aoyama." I'm about twenty taels of silver here. What about you? Isn't that a lot of silver?"
"Hmm. The leader of the robbers had the most money. There were also three silver ingots in his arms. The other small buildings were all broken silver. My side adds up. Sixty taels of silver. Teng Qingshan also smiled at the silver. Put it in the wrapping behind oneself. There were robbers on the road. Kill the robbers and rob the money. It's also a lot of fun.
Teng Qinghu was a little happy: "Haha." Castle peak. It's more than 300 miles. Let's eat, drink and be merry along the way. I've been walking for almost three days. The silver with the ground is not spent at all. I also earned more than three hundred taels of silver!"
On the morning of the third day of the lunar month. The two left Tengjiazhuang.
Today. It is the fifth day of the lunar month. Teng Qingshan and the two of them have been wandering on the road for three days. I also ate a lot and drank a lot.
"This is the way to break the world. It's really fun! Eat a lot of meat. Gulp down. A lot of silver. I really want to play for a few more days. Qinghu said with a smile. Having said that, he understood. His little bit of strength. Wander the world. Encounter a powerful bandit. That's it.
Teng Qingshan glanced at him: "Tomorrow." The Guiyuan Sect began to accept people. Miss tomorrow. But I'll have to wait another half a year. Cousin. I'm not in a hurry to wait for half a year. If you really want to play more. I'll be with you. How?"
"I'll just say it casually. Qinghu smiled. "Compared to playing. It's more face-saving to enter the Black Armor Army!"
"Let's go. Get to Jiangning County early. We haven't been here once. You'll have to take a good look around. Teng Qingshan said with a smile. Immediately, the two brothers strode towards the east with their packages on their backs.
In the evening. Sunset. The western sky is full of sunset. It's beautiful.
Two people carried packages on their backs. The young people walked side by side. Occasionally, a passer-by on horseback galloped by.
"Aoyama. Jiangning County has arrived!" Qinghu cheered excitedly.
Teng Qingshan looked at the ancient city in the distance. The city walls of Jiangning County spread out in a north-south direction. Blurry and unable to see the edges.
"This world. On the land of Kyushu. Than the county town of the land of the city. There aren't many left. "Teng Qingshan to the land of Kyushu. Some of the basics are still known. The world is divided into Kyushu. The largest cities in each state are the county seats. Of course, the world is better than the county town. Andβ
Two seats!
One is that Emperor Yu unified the world back then. Set the city of the king of the earth - Yucheng!
One is the Qinling Heavenly Emperor in Rongzhou in the northwest to unify the world. Set the city of the king of the earth - the city of the king of Qin!
Yucheng and Qinwangcheng. All were once the royal castles of Kyushu. It's no surprise that it covers an extremely large area. In addition to these two royal cities. Other county towns are generally similar. Such as Jiangning County. It is about twenty or thirty miles long and wide. There are about a million people living in the county. Different county seats. There will also be some differences.
Jiangning County. It serves as the center of Gangyeong-gun. And it's close to the East China Sea. The 'Yuyang Grand Canal' passes through the city. The business is extremely good. Nature. This Jiangning county town. It's very rich.
"A city that can accommodate millions of people. In ancient times. It was built by manpower alone. The ground is indeed difficult. Teng Qingshan still remembers the ancient Chinese history of his previous life. The largest city can accommodate about a million people. A big city like the one in front of you. There are very few in ancient Chinese history.
And Teng Qingshan now lives in this world. A county town with a million people. There are many in the world of Kyushu.
"Legend has it that Yu City. It has a population of five million. The Qin Wangcheng even accommodated a population of 8 million! But there are no skyscrapers. Low population density. Pure floor space. It's bigger than the previous world, Shanghai and Beijing. It's incredible. Teng Qingshan had some expectations in his heart. That day. Be able to take a look at those two historical Earth King Cities.
In Teng Qingshan's thinking. And Qinghu came to the gate of the city.
"There are so many people. So many people out of town?" Qinghu looked at the bustling crowd in amazement. Carrying the burden on the ground. Pushing the wagon to the ground. Most of them are vendors.
"These small traders and peddlers. Come to the county town during the day to do business. I'm going home at night. It will take a little time to rush back. Teng Qingshan and Teng Qinghu paid the entrance fee. Finally stepped into the legendary Jiangning County Town!
As soon as the two entered Jiangning County. I was shocked.
"Good wide streets. Teng Qingshan looked at the wide street in front of him, which was completely paved with neat bluestones. Somewhat shocking. "This one street. Enough to accommodate more than a dozen horses in parallel at will. It must be at least 30 meters wide. "It's some pedestrian streets in the modern society of the previous life. I'm afraid it's not so wide.
"Aoyama. It is said that the most prosperous middle street in Jiangning County. This is the street. Qinghu's eyes lit up. "There are still a lot of vendors on both sides of the road. Walk. Let's have a good time!"
Green Tiger. It is the countrymen who enter the county. The eyes are spent.
And Teng Qingshan was only occasionally surprised. After all, compared with some international metropolises that have accommodated more than 10 million people in the previous life. This county town is far away. However, the layout of this county town is magnificent. Built purely by manpower. That kind of grandeur, simplicity, and atmosphere still make Teng Qingshan like it very much.
Teng Qingshan and Teng Qinghu. Eating barbecue with both hands. Wander around in a relaxed way
"The county town is just different. Fun and delicious. are much more than our Yicheng. "Qinghu is very happy. Then I looked up and saw a three-story restaurant in the distance. This restaurant is made of wood throughout. There are also beautiful carvings on the exterior walls. At first glance, it is a top-notch luxury restaurant.
There is a gilded plaque on the main entrance of the restaurant. The three words of dragon flying and phoenix dancing on the book are written. Lanyue Tower.
"Aoyama. Let's go in and eat once. What's going on?" Qinghu's eyes lit up.
Teng Qingshan also knows that the consumption of this kind of restaurant is very high. Generally, a tavern is about the same for a meal and a half taels of silver. But this restaurant is much more expensive. But the road came and went for three days. He also got hundreds of taels of silver from the robber: "Okay." Check it out. What about this county restaurant!"
I just stepped into the first floor of the restaurant. Immediately, Xiao Er greeted him.
"Two guest officers. The second and third floors of our Lanyue Building are full. Only the first floor is left. There are only two tables. Which one do you choose?" said the little two enthusiastically.
Teng Qingshan's eyes swept away. Casually: "Just the table by the window." β
"You're doing a good business. Qinghu exclaimed. and Teng Qingshan took a seat. The little two immediately presented a written menu.
"It's really not ordinarily expensive!" Qinghu snorted. Then he smiled. "Still. That's a lot of energy!"
Xiao Er was still beside him and said enthusiastically: "Our Lanyue Building is famous. There are 12 flavors of blue wrapped in fruit, and 28 plates of wine. These twelve flavors of blue wrapped fruit and twenty-eight plates of my Lanyue Lou's signature appetizers. It's all on the menu! The two guest officers can see it for themselves. β
"Look at the two guest officers. It is also a bold man. Like big meat and good wine. We also have three-line meat strips and stir-fried pork loin."
"We see for ourselves. Teng Qingshan even said. When it comes to the name of the dish, this little two is not ordinary.
Teng Qingshan and Qinghu. The money he got from the robbers was willing to spend it. I ordered eight dishes in one go. Six of them are large meat dishes. Two more bottles of good wine. Roughly calculated the price. It cost nearly twenty taels of silver. If it's an ordinary mountain dweller. That's all you can earn in a year.
"It tastes really good. Teng Qingshan ate these delicacies. I couldn't help but nod.
Teng Qinghu nodded his head after eating: "Mm-hmm." This meat is good. Delicious. This wine is pure enough. Enough strength. "Although the price of this Lanyue Lou food is high. It's really extraordinary.
"Aoyama. You see. Enter this restaurant. Either rich or expensive. One by one, they pierced the ground. Gee. Teng Qinghu said with a smile.
Aoyama also smiled and nodded.
Just when the two of them were eating happily. There was a voice outside.
"What. Full?" rang out in a dissatisfied voice. "I'm today. But feast on my brother's land. Specially come to your moon building. There is no private room on the third floor. The normal location on the second floor and the first floor is gone?"
"Guest officer. Fully booked. That little two was not annoyed at all.
A noble son in a white robe was at the door of the first floor. I looked inside casually. His eyes stayed on Teng Qingshan and the others.
After all, a person's strength and identity can be judged from their clothing and temperament. "These two boys. One on his back I can't see clearly. Can be another. Babble. Eyebrows fluttered. Obviously haven't seen a big scene. β
Teng Qingshan and Teng Qinghu didn't care about talking at the door. The two of them ate and drank happily. Also looking out through the window at night view. Casual talking.
"Two guest officers. Xiao Er suddenly ran to Teng Qingshan's side.
"Huh?" Teng Qingshan looked up.
"The guest officer. I hope you two can get a table for them (β° you order the price of the food. The guest officer took it. Xiao Er said. "I wonder if the two guest officers can agree?"
The green tiger eats meat in his mouth. Yi raised his head and glared at Xiao Er. sneered and glanced at the noble son outside: "He's wrapped?" and a thousand taels of silver. My two brothers left immediately. He has to be stingy and reluctant. You just let him fuck off!"
Teng Qingshan held the wine glass. Took a sip. Laugh at the exhibition.
