Chapter 22: Ruby City
There are a total of 18 castles in Enjiang County, and Hongyu Castle is one of them, which is not on the main stream of the Enjiang River, but on one of its tributaries.
After sailing on the river for nearly half an hour, the warships of the Red Jade Army sailed out of the tributary to another river.
Li Feng found that the river was much wider than its previous tributaries, and there were many more boats coming and going on the river.
All the ships were interested in bypassing the Red Jade Army, like a sheep meeting a wolf, which showed the great prestige of the Red Jade Army in the Red Jade City.
On the distant horizon, a city suddenly appeared, and the city was crawling there like an entrenched beast, and the lookers were awe-struck.
"That city is the Red Jade City. Pan Yuan quietly walked to Li Feng's side and said.
After half an hour of pranayama and the elixir that Li Feng took out with tears, Pan Yuan had recovered a lot of vitality, but the loss was large, and it could not be recovered overnight.
"Where will you two stay in Ruby City? Two days will be my birthday, and there will be a banquet at that time, so let's come and play together." Li Feng smelled a faint fragrance, and it was red Shushu.
At this moment, Hong Shushu was still wearing a red veil, revealing only a pair of beautiful eyes that implied autumn water, and this wisp of mystery made Li Feng look forward to his appearance under the veil even more.
"I'm ......" "In the Pearl Tower, we will stay in the Pearl Tower when we arrive." ”
Pan Yuan interjected directly, Li Feng was a little stunned, when did Brother Yuan like to interject? But when he saw Brother Yuan's eyes, he stopped talking.
"Mingzhu Building, okay, I'll send someone to send you an invitation when the time comes. ”
When he finished speaking, the ship had already docked, Li Feng and Pan Yuan said goodbye to Hongshu, Shu, Yukun and others, and then jumped off the warship and rushed to Hongyu City.
Looking at the backs of Li Feng and the two of them, Yu Kun stood with his hands in his hands, his eyes were puzzled, and asked: "Shu Shu, it's just that Pingshui is meeting, there is no need to show goodness like this." ”
"Uncle Kun, you didn't witness the battle they just had, that one named Li Feng, just a few Qi Condensation Realms dared to draw his sword and slash at the innate powerhouse, this courage, you and I don't have it. Hong Shushu said eloquently.
Yu Kun was a little stunned, and then nodded: "That's true, in the face of the coercion of the Innate Spirit Sea Realm, the ordinary Qi Condensation Realm is already a promise, how dare you have a fighting spirit, I ask myself, I don't dare to fight the innate when the Qi Condensation Realm is in the time." ”
But he dares, his face is not afraid, he is confident, and in time, Tianyuan can be expected. Hong Shu breathed a sigh of relief, recalled all kinds of Fang Cai, and only later realized that Li Feng was strange.
You must know that in the entire Enjiang County, only the county guard of the county town is a strong person in the Innate Realm, and the rest of the city lords are just the Earth Yuan Realm, which can be seen from the one hand how difficult it is to promote to the Tian Yuan Realm, and also the high evaluation of Hong Shushu.
"According to what you say, this son's temperament is indeed good, but his qualifications are worrying, and he is only worthy of the peak of the condensation realm when he is close to the weak crown, no matter how good his temperament is, it seems insignificant. ”
Yu Kun, as the deputy general of the five major Earth Yuan Realms in the Red Jade Army, has seen too many similar people like this, and there is no shortage of such talents in the Red Jade Army, but he cannot become a strong man because of his talent.
This may be the lower limit of the delineation of the heart and the upper limit of the talent.
If Yu Kun knew that Li Feng had already reached the peak of the Qi Condensation Realm after only practicing for more than a month, I don't know if it would scare his jaw off.
"What will happen in the future, who can say for sure, I just said that it will take time, as for that Pan Yuan is not an idle person, the flying sword vein rarely appears in the Tianshui Kingdom, such as today, there is a senior in the Water Academy who is practicing the flying sword line, and it is his disciple. Hong Shu said slowly.
Hearing Tianshui Academy, Yu Kun's face became more serious, once upon a time, he also dreamed of becoming a member of Tianshui Academy.
......
"Ahh
"Who is scolding me?" Li Feng's first reaction was that someone scolded him, because no one would think about him, and pointed at Pan Yuan and said, "Brother Yuan, is it you." ”
Pan Yuan was quite speechless, and when he sneezed, he could think that someone else was scolding him, so he directly threw a roll of his eyes and let Li Feng experience it on his own.
"Just kidding. Li Feng sneered, "Brother Yuan, why did you say just now that we live in Mingzhu Tower, do you really want to go to her birthday party?
In Li Feng's opinion, I don't know her very well, what are you doing there, are you embarrassed?
And what does it mean to go to a birthday party? It means to give gifts, even if our relationship is not close, since we have gone, then we have to give gifts, and gifts are money!
But if it's chasing girls, it doesn't matter what you give or something.
"There's nothing that doesn't have nothing to do. Pan Yuan heard Li Feng ask him if he wanted to pursue Hong Shushu, his pale face couldn't help but flush with a touch of ruddy, and quickly denied it.
"Hahaha, Brother Yuan, don't be in a hurry to deny it, the so-called fair lady, a gentleman, like it, you like it, no one will laugh at you. Li Feng excitedly patted Pan Yuan's shoulder and smiled.
"Ahem, ahem. ”
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I forgot you're a disabled person. ”
Pan Yuan waved his hand to indicate that it was okay, and he didn't smile with Li Feng, and his face showed seriousness.
"As the daughter of the city lord of Red Jade City, those who can participate in his birthday banquet are either rich or expensive, if I can make friends with them, my livelihood will not be a problem in the future. ”
Pan Yuan is different from Li Feng, Li Feng likes to travel to the ends of the earth with one person and one sword, while he prefers a stable life where fallen leaves take root and think about the future.
He has been in Enjiang County all the year round, and when he was weak, he was looked down upon and bullied everywhere, and he had an adventure before he got rid of that situation.
He desperately wanted to be appreciated in his heart, even if Li Feng once said that he could help him enter Tianshui Academy, it would be like a big cake painted on paper, out of reach in the sky, not in front of his eyes.
After Li Feng heard this, he no longer smiled, and was silent for a moment before he said slowly: "Okay, I know, then what gift are you going to give?"
To participate in this kind of birthday banquet, the casual gift should not be too casual, too casual to show that you look down on the other party, too expensive and you can't afford it.
Pan Yuan pondered for a moment, took out a cloth bag from his arms and handed it to Li Feng, and said, "The deposit for leasing the boat before cost two, and the boat broke down and had no return, and now there are only twenty-eight left. ”
Pan Yuan's strength is limited, and most of the bounty tasks he has completed are gold and silver, and now he has only accumulated these spirit crystals.
Li Feng smiled slightly and pushed it back, "You better keep it, Hongshushu is not short of expensive items, we just need to show our hearts, by the way, tell me where is the most profitable in Hongyu City." ”
"Is it the most profitable, do you want to go to the gambling house?" Pan Yuan put away the money bag and thought for a while.
"Don't go. ”
What do you do when you go to a gambling house, do you want to send money? No matter where you are, those who dare to open a gambling house must have two hands. Even if you have Ji Yuntian's help and you win a lot of money, will the people in the gambling house let you go?
Pan Yuan thought about it again and said: "Then the only way to go is to go to the black market, there is an underground martial arts field, as long as you dare to fight, you will have money." ”
"Oh, there's such a good place, why don't you go and do it?" Li Feng asked curiously.
"I've been there, I've had a fight, and I've come back with three spirit crystals. ”
"Isn't that good?"
"After I came back, I lay down for half a month, and it cost me two spirit crystals for the medicine. ”
The smile on the corner of Li Feng's mouth froze, and he said secretly: Dare to be beaten to earn a spirit crystal, this loss-making business is better to go to the stall, you say yes, little Ji Ji.
Ji Yuntian: "......"
Between Li Feng and the two of them, they came to the gate of the Red Jade City, looking at the city wall as high as ten zhang, Li Feng couldn't help but feel solemn and sighed at his insignificance.
The city gate is seven zhang high and five zhang wide, and there is an endless stream of people coming and going at the bottom, and the guards who stand like guns are staring at the people who come and go with a pair of tiger eyes, and dare not look at them.
Stepping through the city gate, there was a familiar noise in my ears, and the air at this moment seemed to be filled with the smell of red dust in the world.
Li Feng especially likes this kind of voice, although the sound is noisy and unaesthetic, it can make him feel the fullness of life.
Recalling the past, he always liked to sit on the side of the street with a small stool, watching the crowds of people coming and going on the street, staring at everyone's face.
Every moment is a different expression, joy, anger and sorrow are all on it, sometimes thinking about why he is happy, sometimes thinking about why he is sad.
In this way, from the sunrise in the east to the sunset, he could get satisfaction and happiness from it, and this scene reminded him of those days.
Li Feng thought that when he was tired of wandering in the future, he would find a beautiful city to live in, marry a girl he loved, give birth to a lovely daughter, and sit in front of the door with her in his arms, looking at the bustling people, how happy.
But this feeling of happiness is always short-lived.
"Get out of the way!"
The sound of horses' hooves and angry shouts broke Li Feng's illusion of happiness, and he couldn't help but feel a trace of anger in his heart.
Who is this unscrupulous person who drives horses and gallops, who dares to break Lao Tzu's dream, I even have the name of the child in mind, you will come to my mentality.
As soon as he looked at the past, it was the Innate Spirit Sea Realm! The bit of anger in Li Feng's heart disappeared without a trace, and he immediately pulled Pan Yuan to the side, so as not to harm the pond fish.
The appearance of the person who drove the horse was very young, with arrogance and arrogance written on his face, I don't know what the family was, and dared to drive the horse to run wild in the Red Jade City, it was really daring.
Li Feng was about to dodge when he saw it from afar, but some people were not very lucky, they were injured by the horse, and they wanted to scold angrily, but when they saw the person on horseback, the words were gagged, and they only dared to scold them secretly.
At this moment, a familiar picture appeared, and out of nowhere, a child appeared, blinking black jewel-like eyes, standing in the middle of the road, bewildered, and the man with the horse was about to crash into it.
"Alas, this plot is really bloody, I don't know which family it is, even the children can be thrown on the road, and I have to go out to save them. Li Feng sighed in his heart.
Whispered: "Chasing the wind!"
