Chapter 265: Gap

Bao Min and others are also the owners who often go in and out of the Full Moon Tower. How could the food in this ordinary inn be in their eyes? If it weren't for the sake of face, they would probably not even go there. If they go there, they would just support the scene. Eat a little bit, so they would not be unfair. As a businessman, they would make it beautiful with all their means.

However, when the food was served, not only Liu Jing and others widened their eyes, but even Bao Min and others couldn't help but pick up the chopsticks.

The first dish was a jar of stewed meat, which was called stewed meat, but the first thing that entered the nose was a refreshing medicinal fragrance, which was fascinating. Then the thick and rich meat fragrance came to the table, and just smelled the smell, I was already salivating.

"Please!" Liu Jing also forced herself to keep her temper and said the word "Ask". Then a strong wind blew the fallen leaves on the table, and everyone's chopsticks kept flying, for fear that they would be too late to eat. The food was on, the plates were constantly removed, and the menu was constantly passed on to everyone's hands. The shopkeepers were also busy, but for them, it was no wonder, because many merchants who had just come to Dancheng would not help but choose more whenever they entered the store to eat. Fortunately, they had enough staff and could withstand such a sauna.

After the food was five flavors, everyone had a little bit of food. After about an hour, everyone came out of the inn with satisfaction, rented a few carriages, and headed towards Xuancheng.

The distance from the wharf to the Full Moon Tower is not far, and the appearance of Dancheng cannot be seen along the way. However, when you go to Xuancheng, you need to leave Dancheng through the city gate, and the appearance of Dancheng is basically unobstructed.

The main road of Dancheng is very wide, and six carriages can be used simultaneously. Moreover, these roads are all paved with bluestone slabs, which are very solid. The carriages are not bumpy at all. The speed is very fast. Generally, only county magistrates can see this kind of road, but there has never been such a wide road. Even the imperial city has at most eight carriages in parallel.

There are all kinds of shops on both sides of the road, with all kinds of goods, which is dazzling. And the most important thing is that the people walking around are all wearing fine linen clothes, without the silly feeling of being as dead as other places in the country. Most people look strong and powerful, even better than those in the Qi Refining Realm in other places.

On both sides of the road, although wooden houses are not carved beams and painted, they are neat and tidy, solid and elegant. There are many buildings on two or three floors, and there are also a few magnificent buildings on four or five floors. Now, although the development of Dancheng is not as good as the imperial city, it can basically stand at the same level as most county magistrate towns.

If the exquisiteness and heritage are shown in Dancheng, then the hard power is shown outside Dancheng.

‘Danguan Avenue’ is an important road connecting Dancheng and Sanguan City. It is a length of 100 miles and can accommodate twelve carriages in parallel at the same time. The whole journey is paved with bluestone slabs, which is solid and stable. It only takes one hour to fast horses and only two hours to carriages. The road to hundreds of miles is close. In Dancheng, close to the city wall, there is a wide road for six carriages to run parallel to the left and right. Bypass the center of the city and surround the outside to the pier, it is also paved with bluestone slabs, which is grand and grand.

However, such a road is just from Dancheng to Sanguancheng, and the road to Xuancheng is still rugged. Some places can no longer see the road because no one has walked for a long time. After all, you can take a boat to Xuancheng directly from Dancheng Wharf. The road between the two is not very important. What's more, Xuancheng is not an ally of Sanguancheng, and there is nothing worth trading.

Ruggedness may not be an easy word to understand, but if you want to describe the road from Dancheng to Xuancheng in depth, you can only say that some Yaoguang-level practitioners who accompanied him couldn't help but start vomiting. Bao Min and his party ended up having to get off the car and walk. As for Liu Jing and others who were used to being free in the county town for a while, they were also confused by the carriage. If it weren't for the sake of face, Liu Jing might have gotten off the car and walked.

I don’t know how long it took, but Liu Jing heard the follower calling him, saying that he had arrived at the Xuancheng Ferry, and then slowly got up from the carriage.

"Miss Bao, I'm sorry for having many incompetent things along the way." Resisting the intense drowsiness, Liu Jing came to Bao Min and his party to say hello.

"No obstacle, they are all cultivators, and this distance is nothing." Bao Min responded politely, but the people who followed Bao Min were very resentful and wanted to leave quickly.

"I have sent someone to the city lord's mansion to carry the sedan chair. It's okay, Miss Bao will wait for a while." Liu Jing said.

"No need, Mr. Liu took us to make a move in Xuancheng, so that we could get to know Xuancheng earlier." Bao Min said.

"Okay, please follow me." Liu Jing nodded and drove the way forward alone.

Xuancheng is a place where Liu Jing was born and raised, so he is extremely familiar with everything about Xuancheng, so he knows very well that Xuancheng has nothing to compare with Dancheng, so he can only lead the way with a tough needle.

Xuancheng was built north of Xuanhe River and relied on Xuanhe to defend against the invasion of the mountain city, so the Xuancheng walls were relatively solid. They were all built by craftsmen invited by the Qin family and were invited from the county town. Although they were not as strong as the walls of Dancheng, they were still quite solid.

Dancheng is located south of Xuanhe River. When you arrive at Xuanhe by land, you must pass through the ferry in front of Xuanhe City and pass through the ferry. On the other side is the dock of Xuancheng. Apart from the ferry and the disrepaired ones, there are a total of ten docks, which can be counted on the route of Xuanhe River. In many towns, there are basically only two or three docks.

When Xuancheng trade was the best, there were six or seven full cargo ships and passenger ships at the ten wharfs. There were endless freight carriages coming from the city to the docks, and the docks were very lively and noisy.

But now it is very deserted and pitiful. There is only a small boat docked next to the dock. Several workers carrying goods are carrying goods lazily. The carriages coming from the city are spinning slowly, just like an elderly man who comes out to buy vegetables in his spare time, peaceful and peaceful.

Liu Jing couldn't bear to look at the current situation of the dock, so she bit the bullet and took Bao Min and others into Xuancheng.

As soon as you enter the gate of Xuancheng, everything in Xuancheng is almost unobstructed. The street that can accommodate two carriages in parallel is a bit simple, but it is still relatively flat. However, except for the scattered pedestrians on the street, there are basically no carriages, let alone freight carriages. The roads are basically covered with simple houses, and the pedestrians who come and go are pale and thin, and they are not angry at all, giving people the same feeling that if the wind is slightly stronger, they can all blow down.

Although the streets of Xuancheng are not spacious, the streets that can accommodate two carriages in parallel are already considered to be relatively superior among most towns. Before Liu Jing left, this street was very lively. However, after only two months, Liu Jing did not expect that the streets would be so deserted. Not to mention that Xuancheng had lost 80% of the trade, but now, it has almost lost all the trade, and Xuancheng has almost become an empty city.

At this time, Liu Jing became more and more angry. He was not angry about it. It was because of why Xuancheng was ruined like this. No one in the city lord's mansion notified him, nor did his father come back to deal with it. At this time, he just let Dancheng take away all the trade in Xuancheng day by day. Liu Jing admitted that many things cannot be compared with Dancheng, but if Xuancheng played a little effect in it, then Dancheng would definitely not be as comfortable as now. At least it would not develop so quickly unless Dancheng was willing to compromise and share part of the interests with Xuancheng. If he was in Xuancheng, Dancheng would definitely let Dancheng expose this part of the interests, and even said that Dancheng would not develop at all. From its beginning development, it would use all forces to suppress it.

Although I don’t know what Liu Jing was thinking, Bao Min and his party felt more disappointed the more they walked into Xuancheng. Of course, they could not be said to be disappointed, because in terms of the development of Xuancheng, it would be quite good to be able to build this small place in this way. If you hadn’t been to Dancheng before, I’m afraid Bao Min would have planned to open a branch in Xuancheng for trade. However, after experiencing Dancheng and his party, the idea of ​​establishing a branch in Xuancheng had to be given up, or it had to be given up.

Although Xuancheng is not conspicuous, the conflicts in Xuancheng cannot escape the Bao family's intelligence network. A long time ago, the Bao family planned to build a branch in Xuancheng. However, at that time, the assassination of Liu Dan and his mother blocked the Bao family's actions. Although the Liu family hid it well, for the Bao family, which had a sharp nose, this bloody smell could not be hidden at all, because in order to avoid causing too much loss and dilemma in the possible internal strife in the Liu family, the Bao family chose to temporarily stop the construction branch's plan, and it was not until Liu Jing took the initiative to go to the Bao family to invite it that the plan was brought up again.

However, judging from the current situation, Xuancheng is completely out of the blue. Liu Jing is the future ruler of Xuancheng, and Liu Dan is the current ruler of Dancheng. The comparison of the two is self-evident. With the contradiction between the two, the Bao family can only choose one of them, and the other one is undoubtedly Dancheng.

On the other hand, with the powerful intelligence capabilities of the Bao family and the huge trade volume of Dancheng, the two new cities quietly rose to such a level under the eyes of the Bao family, and the Bao family did not notice it at all. This made the Bao family and the people sweat behind them. How terrible strength and means could do this? Thinking of this, the Bao family and the people even regretted following Liu Jing here, because this may have offended Dancheng and even the Sanguan City behind it.

Xuancheng was not big at all. After the Bao family and his group followed Liu Jing to visit, they politely declined Liu Jing's invitation and left Xuancheng by boat. Liu Jing was helpless and had no other way except to bring people to give him one.

"Where did this damn waste Liu Dan come from? I'm so angry." After taking Bao Min away, Liu Jing knew that the matter was mostly bad, so she couldn't help but curse Liu Dan, "Are all the people in the City Lord's Mansion dead dead? After so long, why did you?

There is no reply? Whoever went to the City Lord's Mansion? Is it okay to die in the City Lord's Mansion?"

"Brother back, that person hasn't come back yet, I don't know what to do." said the servant next to him.

"Let's wait, let's go to the city lord's mansion to see where these people have died." Liu Jing threw away the servants and walked straight to the city lord's mansion. He was furious along the way and cursed Liu Dan.

"Where are people? Where have they died?" When Liu Jing came to the city lord's mansion, he saw that there was no guard at the door. He suddenly became angry and wrapped his energy on his feet. He kicked him at the door, and the people following him rushed in quickly.

However, what Liu Jing did not expect was that not only was there no one outside the door, but there was no one inside the door. At this time, Liu Jing and others felt something was wrong, but it was too late to wait for the reaction. Therefore, the door had been quietly closed at some point. On both sides of the gate, two early Yuheng cultivators exuded strong pressure and locked the direction of the gate tightly. Just as Liu Jing and others turned their attention to the two at the door, a group of early Kaiyang cultivators with strong martial arts emerged from the yard, surrounded Liu Jing and others.

"The eldest son of the Liu family, isn't this the eldest son of the Liu family? I wonder if there is anything to come to me?" Zhang Yong walked out and smiled.

"Who are you? How dare you trespass into the city lord's mansion?" Before Liu Jing could speak, the elder asked sternly.

"This question is complicated to explain, so I don't plan to explain it." As Zhang Yong waved his hand, the people around him rushed forward and tied up Liu Jing and others in an instant. Anyone who resisted was knocked out on the spot, then he took it down and locked up. The yard also returned to its previous appearance. Everything was as calm as ever, and nothing happened.

"Prince, Liu Jing and his group arrived at the city lord's mansion and have all been arrested and detained." Zhang Yong picked up a token in his hand and injected his vitality into it. After the patterns on the token light up, he said to the token.

After the light on the token dimmed, not long after, the pattern on the token lit up again, and Zhou Wutian's voice came out of the token, "All sent to Dancheng to be detained."
