Chapter 292: Nether Cloud City
Unlike the sky and earth in the Western Regions, the sky in the Northern Region seems to be always covered with a layer of thick fog. As Qianmo slowly moved, snowflakes gradually floated in the sky.
When he arrived at the familiar world of wind and snow again, Qianmo was silent and walked quickly. Finally, he saw the huge city gate not far away, Youyun City.

Youyun City is built on the mountain, backed by the boundary mountains between the Western Regions and the Northern Regions, which is equivalent to completely intercepting this necessary path between the Western Regions and the Northern Regions. It is a natural barrier and is definitely an excellent fortress that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
The strategic position of this city is extremely important. Holding this place is a fatal throat for both the northern region in front and the western region in back. It is a must-kill for one strike.
Qian Mo walked slowly on the official road. This season, there were very few pedestrians traveling between the Northern and Western Regions, so that Qian Mo's figure alone seemed particularly conspicuous in the wind and snow.
The city gate guards were drowsy, but I don’t know who called out a word, and everyone woke up after someone came. Obviously, it was really strange that there were still people coming and going between the Western Regions and the Northern Regions, not to mention that there was still one person alone.
Qian Mo slowly approached and finally arrived at the bottom of the city gate. The headed city gate guard waved to Qian Mo, and Qian Mo immediately leaned over.
The guard looked serious and looked at Qian Mo with a look of confusion. He said, "Pick off the hat."
Qian Mo took off his hat and revealed the beautiful scholar disguised as a leather mask.
The officer looked at Qian Mo's weak appearance with tender skin and flesh now and asked in confusion, "Are you a native of the Western Regions?"
Qian Mo bowed and said, "If you say that Jun Ye, you will be in the south of Qianwangnan. You are from the Northern Region. You went to the Western Regions to study two years ago. Now you are eager to be a family member, so you have come back in the wind and snow."
Qian Mo spent a long time in the Northern Region. He knew that the people in the Northern Region were fierce and martial, and many people in the East China Sea Central Plains looked down on the Northern Region. Many times, they heard that they were people in the Northern Region. They would laugh at them in private.
Of course, the people of the Northern Region also sneered at the poor and corrupt scholars who only know how to speak up their poems in the East China Sea and Central Plains. This trend also directly led to the extraordinary scarcity and rareness of spiritual masters in the Northern Region, because the social status is too low. Even if you have strong abilities, in the eyes of many people, you are still not as popular as those heroes who dance with swords and guns and gallop on war horses.
This is not the case in the Central Plains and the East China Sea at all. The spiritual masters in these places are very respected, and the generals who fight on horseback will also be praised by the world. After all, these soldiers on horseback are comparable to those of the strong men who do not have to shout and fight in the Northern Region who only know how to fight and kill. Even if they ride on the battlefield for many years, they can still say a few words of passion.
Now Qian Mo said that he went to study in the Western Regions, which is reasonable. After all, there are many young people who go from the Northern Region to the Western Regions every year.
However, most people in the Northern Region look down on these people, thinking that they choose the path of Congwen because they are not physically qualified or have insufficient talent and cannot practice.
The officer continued, "How can you, alone, survive the wind and sand of the Western Regions? There are many crazy hungry phantom beasts along the way. How can you hide?"
Qian Mo sighed and said, "Mr. Junyi doesn't know that his family is still wealthy, so he naturally has some magic weapons in his hands. In addition, he is lucky and has not encountered any powerful illusion beasts along the way, so he came back by chance." When he said that, Qian Mo took out a heavy silver from his arms.
When the officer saw the heavy silver in his hand, he immediately smiled and said, "Brother, you should say that you have a good life. It's not a problem for one person to travel through this wasteland alone. Go and go home as soon as possible to reunite."
Qian Mo bowed deeply, and looked grateful and said, "Thank you for your concern. I will come to visit you later!"
The officer waved his hand and shouted, "Go and go!" Seeing Qian Mo leave, he lowered his head and raised the silver in his hand, and said happily, "This little guy is quite good at saying, this silver is enough for me to be happy for several nights..."
Entering Youyun City, Qianmo has truly entered the northern territory, and the scene here and the Western Regions are very different from that.

If the Western Regions were a large and scattered and diverse ethnic groups, it was difficult for the Heavenly Palace to centrally manage, so it could only gather a large amount of wealth and rights in the royal city, resulting in large slums and refugees around the Western Regions. Overall, the Western Regions were a manager who was ineffective and had no support from the masses.
Today, Youyun City presents a completely opposite scene from the Western Regions. There are 1 city buildings here in an orderly manner, and the downtown area will not be so crowded, chaotic and unordered.
Even people's clothing is wearing long gowns and jackets, with hair and dressed in dress, and is clean and neat, unlike the Western Regions, with 5 flowers and 8 doors, and 8 faces and monsters.
Qian Mo was walking on the street at this time and looking at the scene in the city, he realized that this was the real Huaiyang Empire. The military and civilians were united and the order was strict, just like a new empire that was prosperous and strong every day after the rise.
Walking on the street, until after seeing a piece of paper, Qian Mo realized how precious the human skin mask on his face was. It can be said that this face really saved Qian Mo's life.
After Qian Mo entered Youyun City, he passed through the first street, turned around the corner, and on a huge signboard, Qian Mo saw his avatar with one eye.
The number one wanted criminal in the Huaiyang Empire, Qian Mo.
Looking at the avatar on the top of the signboard, Qianmo's eyes were cold and he murmured in his heart, "No one in the Tiangong should know about my trip to the Western Regions. I have never seen my wanted order in the Western Regions. Why do I pay so much attention to this place thousands of miles away from the Southern Region?"
Qian Mo really couldn't figure it out, so he could only continue walking forward.
Next, everything Qianmo saw completely overturned his understanding of the Northern Region.
When I was in Mubei City, there were also many local powers, local gangsters, such as the previous Haikush Cavalry Regiment, which was a typical example.
But the following scene really made Qian Mo feel a little suffocated. Just walking on this street, at least two waves of patrolling soldiers had passed by Qian Mo in a short time. There was no barbaric and unreasonable on the street, and no intrigue in the alleys. Such order is absolutely unprecedented in Qian Mo's eyes.
"What happened in the Northern Region in three years?" Qian Mo 1 was silent. He only wanted to know the reasons for these changes.
Three years are not long or short, but it is rare to manage the bloodline of a northern barbarian so closely.
Without any surprise, Qian Mo came to a restaurant again.
If you want to know a place, local restaurants are often the best choice. There are countless gossips here, and after drinking, you can even speak nonsense.
Many people have poor alcohol taste and often continue to say some irrelevant words, but often in many cases, what they say is the most real thing in their minds. This is also the reason why Qian Mo loves restaurants.
Qianmo casually found a place by the window and sat down, ordered a pot of the best wine, opened the pot, injected the ice intent, and let the fragrance spread out on purpose.
Sure enough, this pot of expensive wine immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Qian Mo raised the corners of his mouth, took a sip, and made a sound of enjoyment, which made everyone in the four weeks feel itchy.
Finally, a middle-aged man who was drunk at 7 points walked over staggeringly, sat opposite Qianmo, and said, "This little brother, it's so boring for a person to drink. How about it? Do you want me to accompany you with me?" When he spoke, the middle-aged man stared at the wine pot and never left.
Qian Mo smiled slightly, picked up the wine pot and put it on the man, and said, "Okay, the elder brother is here just right, I'm worried that no one will drink to relieve my boredom."
The middle-aged man suddenly smiled happily, and after half a bowl of wine, he drank it so much that he felt refreshed. The people around him suddenly felt a little sad and hated that he didn't go up and talk to Qianmo.
The middle-aged man laughed and said, "Good wine, good wine! Little brother, I think you are a cheerful person, tell me, what do you want to hear? As long as it is about Youyun City, I think you are a good friend, so I will definitely tell you everything."
Qian Mo smiled and said, "To be honest, I am a native of the Western Regions. I have only gone through a lot of hardships in the past two days and have been rushing through the wasteland to reach the Northern Region. I am still very unfamiliar with it."
"I have heard that the people in the Northern Region are simple and noble in character. Today I see my brother, it is like the rumor."
The man had already been so happy that he said, "Little brother, you are right. My Northern Region is no better than those sour and rotten places. Although the climate is harsh, it has raised us brave and healthy people."
Suddenly, the middle-aged man realized that Qian Mo said he was from the Western Regions. So he included Qian Mo? The middle-aged man laughed and said, "Little brother, I have no intention of slandering you..."
Qian Mo laughed and said, "It's okay, it's okay, my elder brother is a person of temperament, I won't bother with these things."
The middle-aged man patted his thigh, pointed at Qianmo, and shouted, "Yes, yes, brothers, let's do one!" Then he came a big bowl of wine.
.~,
Qian Mo has been traveling around the world over the years, and with the old drunkard Di Xin next to him, he naturally has improved his alcoholism by leaps and bounds. After drinking such a bowl of strong wine, he doesn't feel drunk at all.
The middle-aged man laughed and said, "I really have a good alcohol tolerance, just like our men in the Northern Region. You are here this time, so you have come to the right place!"
Qian Mo smiled and said, "Actually, I really think it's strange. It's said that the people of the Northern Region have a generous personality and can enter the city. The environment in these four weeks has been extremely calm. Compared with the downtown cities in our Western Regions, is this world different from that of this and the reason?"
