Chapter 39: The Dragon Court
Jiulong Mountain Tiger stands on the dragon plate, stretching for thousands of miles. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
On the vast plain at the mountain pass, a majestic city stands majestically, with dozens of miles of east, west, north and south, and is boundless.
As the capital of the Beicang Empire, Longting is known as the first city in the world, but it has its own extraordinary. Not to mention the others, it is the city wall that is more than ten zhang high, each wall stone is a jade-white granite transported from the far north, and then built with sea sand, looking from a distance, it looks like a jade inlaid in the vast grassland.
At noon, at the gate of the southern city, the merchants who entered the city had formed a long queue, and at the end of the line, there were more than 20 dart cars fluttering the pennant of the 'Splendid Dart Bureau'.
"Darts travel all over the world, splendid flags are raised ......"
All the dart masters looked at the Xiongcheng in the distance, and couldn't help but be ecstatic in their hearts, and they all got out of the car and shouted the dart horn loudly, expressing their suppressed feelings.
Being alive is a gift from God, so how can we not celebrate it.
This trip was too difficult for anyone, starting from Luocheng and traveling more than 2,000 miles north to reach Longting, which was a full thirty-five difficult days and nights. After the bloody battle on the night before, who would have thought that they would be able to arrive at the Dragon Court so safely.
However, after two days of sleepless travel, the dart team was already sleepy, and these men were exhausted both mentally and physically. As soon as the excitement passed, looking at the long line in front of me, I felt a sense of depression in my heart, and sat back on the dart car and slowly moved forward with the team.
In the sound of loud darts, Peng Yu also woke up, feeling very restrained, and wanted to stretch his waist, but as soon as he stretched out, there were bursts of pain all over his body, which made him gasp with an 'ouch'.
At this time, Peng Yu had lost his usual heroic spirit, and his body was wrapped into a zongzi, describing him as decayed and sluggish. The battle the night before was covered with bruises, but the most serious thing was that the energy was too much, and I don't know when I would be able to recover my strength.
He shook his head with a wry smile, all this pain was caused by himself, just like Tong Yinian said. If it had been with everyone at that time, instead of ignorant to take the sword, how could it have ended like this.
The little fox lying on the side saw Peng Yu wake up, shook his big tail happily, and jumped around on Peng Yu.
The old man Ji next to him was still asleep, making a faint snoring sound. Although his martial arts are strong, he can't withstand the erosion of time, but his energy is not very good.
Peng Yu pushed the old man Ji, who was sleeping soundly, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Master, have you arrived at the Dragon Court?"
"I'm going to wake up so soon? I guess it's going to take three to five days. I guess it's here, I'll go down and see. Old man Ji woke up slowly, and saw that Peng Yu was already awake, and felt a little surprised.
Old man Ji jumped off the dart car and looked at it, then returned to the dart car and sat down, touched the wine jug on the side, and took a sip of wine to moisten his throat before saying: "It's here, but there are too many people in line, I'm afraid I still have to wait." ”
"Do you still have pain?"
"It doesn't hurt much anymore, it's just a little tired. ”
"When you enter the city, you can find a Lang Zhong to help you re-bandage. ”
Old man Ji seemed to have something to ask, but he still didn't ask after all. The apprentice surpassed the master, and from the master's point of view, there may be pride, but there is also an inexplicable emotion entangled in the bottom of my heart.
Although the two are masters and apprentices, they don't actually communicate much on weekdays, and after chatting a few dry words, they were stunned and speechless for a long time.
After a while, Peng Yu said with some heaviness: "Master, when I return to Luocheng after this dart, I don't want to do it anymore." ”
"Hey, do you have a fever, what are you thinking? Old man Ji was a little strange, got up and touched Peng Yu's forehead, and said to himself: "I don't have a fever either." ”
"Master, you also know that my personality is in a hurry, not stable enough, this time I came out to cause such a big disaster for the dart team, and I will make a big enemy for the dart board. Peng Yu said with some guilt.
"I haven't complained about you yet, what do you want to do so much, take care of your injuries, and talk about it when you return to Luocheng." In this situation, where can you go, although your martial arts are high, you still have to eat. ”
Peng Yu actually has a somewhat wooden personality, and he didn't know how to say it at this time, so he thought for a while before saying: "I have been away from home for more than three years, and there is no one to take care of me at home, but I am afraid that now my parents' graves are full of dry grass." After quitting the dart game, you can go back and have a look, and you can count your filial piety. ”
Although Peng Yu just made up a random reason, he really thought in his heart that his parents had no graves, and after the catastrophe, there were already no bones.
"After that, you still have to find a job. ”
"After that, I didn't think about it, maybe it would be good to go north to join the rebels and seek some peace for the people of my north. ”
Old man Ji shook his head slightly, and he didn't say anything.
"When I was reading a book before, I read a sentence: If a man has no ambition, he is no different from an animal. At that time, my ambition was to study hard and become a big official one day, and after my parents died of illness and went north, I thought that I could find a job to live well, but now that I can live, I don't know what my ambition should be......
Peng Yu said to himself, he didn't respond for a long time, and when he turned his head to look over, he saw that the old man was sleeping again.
......
The procession proceeded very slowly, from noon until dusk before reaching the city gates.
The dragon court is different from the small city encountered along the way, the city gate guards are extremely strict, even if they show the official letter of the dart, the guard still takes the trouble to interrogate the dart team for a long time, and after checking the dart goods, they let the dart team enter the city.
The city of Longting is a chessboard structure, due to the huge scale, the city is divided into five districts, southeast, northwest, and middle, each district is laid out according to the principle of "left ancestor, right society, facing and facing the market". The Imperial City of Daqian Palace in the central district, and the Dragon Tiger Gate is located in the right community in the western district.
The dart team went west along the bluestone road, through the crowded flow of people, and after a full hour, they came to the front of the main altar of Longhumen.
After being reported by the guard at the door, it was a tall and thin long-faced protector who came out to pick up the dart, and he did not see the Tuoba Sect Master. The dart goods were transported to the main altar, and the long-faced protector signed the official letter of the dart to confirm that it was correct, and the dart was completed.
Ordinary employers receive darts, and they will generally be very polite and enthusiastic to retain the dart master. The long-faced protector of the Dragon and Tiger Gate darts didn't seem to be very happy, and kept a gloomy face until the dart masters came out to the door, and then said coldly: "I heard that there is a great young hero in your dart game, and I will come to the meeting another day." ”
The dart team found a nearby inn and stayed in this dragon court for a few days, and set off to return to Luocheng.
