Chapter 21: Arrival in Jindu

This golden capital city, within a radius of dozens of miles, was known as the "capital of the Central Plains" in ancient times, and the title of "Liaocheng" exists. The city is extremely popular, with many merchants and a busy trade scene. And now it's about to enter summer, and the city is full of lanterns at night, operas, juggling, and storytellers. And this Jindu City is also known as the "City of Hundred Flowers", although there are no flowers to see now, but the girls in the city "Xiangyue Building" are as beautiful as fairies, especially the first Oiran in this Jindu City, nicknamed "Flower Hibiscus" The flower is round, that is a real fairy-like person.

"Big brother, you are very eloquent. As the rowing man spoke, his saliva was about to flow, and Yuan Cheng hurriedly interrupted.

"Yes, there are countless snacks in this Jindu City, mainly based on good quality and low price. The spicy beef noodles and stuffed buns are cheap and delicious. This time, the rowing man's saliva flowed directly onto the placket.

Yuan Cheng stood on the bow of the boat and looked into the distance, only to see the overlapping valleys on both sides and the dense jungle on the mountain. One part of the water is very fast, and the other part is very slow. Some mountains are home to many strange-shaped cypress trees, while others have springs flowing from the cliffs, creating waterfalls. Although the sun is in the sky, there is still some water mist when you go to the canyon, like a fairyland.

The boat went down the river and soon reached its destination.

Yuan Cheng stepped ashore in one step, asked for the direction, and rushed over directly.

After crossing a hundred miles again, Yuan Cheng finally faintly saw a city standing in the distance.

The gate of Jindu City is tall, and it is much more magnificent than Dounan City. The city walls are high and thick, several feet higher than the walls of Dounan City.

As soon as you enter the city gate, you will find that the main road in the city is endless, and there are dense crowds of people everywhere.

Yuan Cheng looked everywhere, and saw a crowd at the gate of the city, so he squeezed over to look.

It's a bulletin board in the city with portraits of some wanted criminals.

I saw a portrait of a woman posted on the first place, the woman on the portrait had a beautiful face, a spiritual snake bun on her head, a veil on her face, and she could only see big eyes, holding a long and short sword. Underneath the avatar reads: Around seventeen years old, Assassin, unknown circumstances. Seven officials of all sizes in Jindu City were assassinated, six of them were killed, and only one escaped assassination. The captor was rewarded with a hundred taels of gold.

The second portrait shows a large man wearing a hat with a scar on his face. He is a burly man with a ghost-headed broadsword. Underneath the avatar reads: Sand wolf, in his thirties. He walked all over the rivers and lakes all year round to rob the rich and help the poor, and was originally an executioner. The captor was rewarded with fifty taels of gold.

The third portrait shows a bald old man with a smiling face and a short-handled sickle in both hands. Underneath the avatar is written: Ju Long, in his fifties, lewd thief. first molested a girl in the city, and then sneaked into the "Xiangyue Building" to peep, was discovered by Hua Yuanyuan, and then was injured by the master in the building and escaped, and now hides in the city. The captor is ten taels of gold.

Yuan Cheng swept it casually, and suddenly saw a familiar figure, and was stunned.

I saw a rough man drawn at the bottom of the wanted notice, with a sparse beard and scattered hair, who was Uncle Chang Drunk.

I saw that the portrait was written underneath: Anonymous, in his thirties. It is often said that Uncle Ben is a scoundrel who is a master, and he eats and drinks for nothing everywhere, eats and drinks in vain, and cheats and cheats. The captor was rewarded with ten taels of silver.

"Hehe, it's actually Uncle Chang Drunk, I didn't expect him to be in this Golden Capital. Yuan Cheng first smiled, then looked excited, lowered his hat, and walked away.

Soon after Yuan Cheng entered the city, it was dark, and there were lights everywhere, and the city was lit by firelight as if it were day. The city is still crowded at night, and some restaurants and green buildings are doing brisk business.

"This little brother, come in and play with my sister. I saw some bewitching women at the entrance of the Qinglou, with graceful figures, wearing light gauze, and throwing flattering eyes at Yuan Cheng.

Yuan Cheng looked at the light gauze-like clothes, looming. Suddenly, the dantian qi and blood surged, and he quickly took a breath and left quickly.

"This little brother, you really don't understand the amorous feelings, don't go. Yuan Cheng heard the woman behind him calling.

"I'm so hungry, let's try the spicy beef noodles first. Yuan Cheng walked to a restaurant in the city.

Little second brother, bring me half a catty of braised beef cold slices, a bowl of spicy beef noodles, and a small pot of wine. As soon as he entered the restaurant, Yuan Cheng called.

Yuan Cheng untied the Tianqi knife wrapped in linen, put it on the table along with the steel sword and baggage, and then took off the hat.

Soon Xiao Er brought wine and food, and the little fox also jumped out of Yuan Cheng's arms and ate braised beef slices.

At this time, there was a scholar dressed at the table next to him, and when he saw the little fox's snow-white appearance, he came over to watch.

"This little brother, where did you get this little fox, and do you sell it?" said the scholar with a sick face after looking at it for a while.

"Not for sale. After hearing this, Yuan Cheng immediately refused and continued to eat noodles.

"Yo ho, if you don't sell it, you won't sell it, what are you doing with such a loud voice. The scholar was a little annoyed when he saw Yuan Cheng ignoring him.

Yuan Cheng didn't speak, and continued to bow his head and eat noodles.

The scholar saw that Yuan Cheng was young, but he was tall and tall, and he seemed to have some kung fu, so he wanted to grab Yuan Cheng's sword first and then make a move, so he grabbed the stainless steel sword and the Tianqi knife wrapped in linen cloth with both hands at the same time.

Yuan Cheng continued to eat noodles and ignored them.

The scholar had just grabbed the steel sword with his left hand, and his right hand was grasping at the sackcloth, as if there was a heavy object, and he couldn't shake it at all.

"As a scholar, don't you know if it's not good to move other people's things casually?" Yuan Cheng stretched out his left hand, grabbed the scholar's right arm, and used a little force.

The scholar only felt a huge force coming from his arm, as if even his bones were about to be crushed, his face turned pale with pain, and he hurriedly put down the steel sword.

"I'm new here, I don't want to cause trouble, but I'm not afraid of causing trouble, so you'd better stay away from me. After Yuan Cheng finished speaking, he let go, and raised the bowl with his right hand to drink the soup.

The little fox glanced at the scholar with disdain and continued to eat beef slices.

If the scholar was amnestied, he hurriedly left, and then the two people at the table next to him and the scholar also followed.

"Xiaoyu, you eat too fast, you can eat half of this half catty of beef cold slices at once. The rest of this, half of you and half of me. Yuan Cheng hurriedly pulled out half of the plate and ate meat while drinking.

"Xiao Er, this is a tael of silver, don't look for it. Where is the best inn in this Golden Capital City?" After eating and drinking, Yuan Cheng called Xiao Er and put down a tael of silver on the table.

"This little brother. There are a lot of Jindu City inns, but this is the best inn, which is 'meeting friends with martial arts', go straight to the left out of the restaurant, the third alley is, there is a big red lantern at the door, and there are words on the lantern. Xiao Er said as he cleaned up the table.

"Thank you. Yuan Cheng packed his things, carried his baggage, and stepped out of the door.

"This little brother has a good heart, but if he provokes that evil ghost scholar, he must be in trouble. Xiao Er shook his head, wiped the table, and muttered.

Yuan Cheng naturally didn't hear these words, but Yuan Cheng had long thought in his heart that this scholar would not give up. But Yuan Cheng is also a master in the rivers and lakes now, of course, Yuan Cheng himself doesn't know how powerful he is, but he has a kind of confidence in his heart, and he is naturally not afraid of these hooligans.

As soon as Yuan Cheng turned out of the two alleys, he was stopped by someone on the street.

Sure enough, it was the scholar-like person, and there were three big men standing behind him, forcing Yuan Cheng into the depths of the alley.

Both sides can do it on the streets, but at night there are guards and catchers patrolling, and the streets are too eye-catching.

"Just now in the restaurant, you actually talked to me like that. Do you know who I am?" the scholar spoke first.

"I want to know who you are doing, it seems that you don't have enough lessons, right?" Yuan Cheng was tall, taller than ordinary adults, and he was naturally looking down on this scholar at this moment.

"It's a big breath, I'm four people here. If you kneel down and beg me, I can let you go, but the little fox in your arms will stay. The scholar said with some smugness.

"Then don't blink, look at it. After Yuan Cheng finished speaking, he started.

"What am I doing in the blink of an eye!ahh Before the scholar finished speaking, he found that Yuan Cheng had already deceived him closely, and the three big men had already fainted to the ground, and then the scholar's eyes were black and he also fell.

"Hmph, a bunch of garbage dares to shout. Yuan Cheng straightened his hat and walked out of the alley.

"Stop!" a catcher told Yuan Cheng to stop, and then caught a quick to look at Yuan Cheng's front.

"Whew, it's good no. The catcher was visibly relieved.

Yuan Cheng looked at the catcher, continued to move forward, and walked another alley, and sure enough, he saw the "meeting friends with martial arts". I saw eight big red lanterns hanging on the left and right at the door of the inn, with the inscription "Visitors from the east, west, north and south, swords, guns, sticks and sticks are majestic on all sides." ”

As soon as Yuan Cheng entered the lobby, an arrow came over, and Yuan Cheng stretched out two fingers to take a look. The arrow was found headless, wrapped in a cloth with some flour inside.

"Shopkeeper, what does this mean?" Yuan Cheng raised his head and looked ahead.

"The inn only accepts people who practice martial arts, and this is a small test. At this time, the shopkeeper came out and explained.

"This little brother, you are so young, but your hands and feet are so sharp. It's really a hero from ancient times, please!" The shopkeeper invited Yuan Cheng into the inner hall.
