Two days later, Jiang Yao brought Yu Yan to Qinghuang City.
Qinghuang City is the main city of the Qing clan and the location of the lord's palace. It is the largest city in the three counties of the Qing clan, with an area of more than 100 miles and a population of nearly one million. It is very prosperous.
On the towering city wall, there are densely packed divine crossbows and dense protective arrays arranged, which can be said to be impregnable.
A big flag fluttering high, fluttering in the cold wind, is actually a big "green" character.
It is said that the Qing Clan directly governs three counties, and has 40,000 to 50,000 men under its command. Among the C-class martial lords, the Qing Clan's strength is in the upper middle, and within tens of thousands of miles around, only the Meng Clan can rival it.
At this time, more than a thousand casual cultivators gathered at the city gate and lined up to enter the city. The armored soldiers at the city gate were collecting the entry fee, which was one yuan per person.
As soon as Jiang Yao appeared, he immediately attracted a lot of attention.
It would be difficult for a young man who was carrying a little girl on his back, holding a snake staff and dressed so poorly not to attract attention.
However, Jiang Yao seemed to be... calm about these unkind glances.
Yu Yan's little face was always buried in her real clothes, but she didn't let others see her face.
When it was almost Jiang Yao's turn to enter the city, suddenly there was loud music in the city, bells and drums blaring, followed by the sound of trumpets, and a voice that shook the sky shouted: "The Lord is out on patrol! Everyone avoid it!"
With a bang, the soldiers at the huge city gate immediately retreated to both sides to make way for the spacious city gate, and the casual cultivators at the gate also moved out of the way.
The next moment, two pairs of cavalrymen in bright armor came out of the city with a guard of honor. Behind them were two huge dragon-horned beasts, pulling a gorgeous high car. The high car was printed with the martial emblem of the Qing clan. On the top of the car, people sat upright.
He looked like a middle-aged man with a noble demeanor and incomparable majesty.
This man was clearly a master of the perfect level of martial arts. His aura was like that of mountains and seas, making people dare not look up at him.
The soldiers guarding the city immediately knelt down on one knee and said, "I have seen my lord!"
The casual cultivators also knelt down one after another, "I have met Lord Qinghuang!"
Someone else said: "I have met you, Your Majesty!"
This big shot is, of course, the leader of the Qing Clan, Lord Qing Huang, also known as Qing Lu.
Different people have different names for this big man.
Those who receive the salary of the Qing clan, whether they are soldiers or petty officials, are all salary earners. There are military clans in the establishment, and they are called lords.
People like Jiang Yao who are not outside martial arts cultivators from the three counties of Qing Clan are called "Lord Qing Huang Jun".
He is not a salaryman, but a local martial artist from the three counties of Qing clan, and is called "Jun Shang".
How could Jiang Yao dare to act independently? He quickly knelt down and called "Lord Qinghuang Lord".
"No courtesy." Lord Qinghuang spat out these two words lightly, but they reached everyone's ears very clearly, making people feel awe.
A group of well-dressed retainers riding thousands of miles of horses gathered on both sides of the vehicle. Behind them, there was a large group of cavalry, also carrying ceremonial flags. Finally, there was another group of musicians.
The scene was huge, impressive and shocking.
This is the power of the C-class Martial Valve Lord’s trip.
This is what a man should do!
This sentence jumped into Jiang Yao's mind. He looked at Qing Huangjun's patrolling team and felt an uncontrollable desire in his heart.
I don’t want this precarious humility!
Just like the weeds on the roadside, anyone can step on them!
A glimmer of hope flashed in the young man's eyes, and then turned into bitterness.
Jiang Yao spent two pieces of spiritual jade to enter the city, and sure enough he saw that the city was extremely prosperous. Not only were the roads wide, but there were also rows of commercial buildings and shops, the vitality of heaven and earth was also relatively strong, and there was a bustle of martial arts cultivators, including mortals.
Of course, these mortals are slaves in the homes of powerful people.
Jiang Yao already knew that favored ordinary slaves from powerful families sometimes had more status than down-and-out casual cultivators.
Many businesses in the city are monopolized by the monarch's government, and many are run by other martial arts families.
Jiang Yao knew that the first priority was to find a place to live and settle down, and copy the spiritual jade that Han Cang gave him.
Jiang Yao definitely couldn't afford to live in a big hotel. The only place he could live in was the most remote and humble inn in the corner of the city wall.
Therefore, Jiang Yao specially went to a small inn with a simple entrance to ask for a price. He did not dare to ask for a price for a slightly more grand inn.
"Seller, how much Lingyu does your store have per night?"
"Two yuan for one person, four yuan for two people."
"Uh...it's too expensive."
"roll!"
…
"Store, can you only charge the room fee for one person? My roommate is still young."
"No matter how young you are, you are still a human being! It's four yuan a night for two people. If you want to stay, you can stay here. If you don't, get out!"
…
"Store..."
"roll!"
…
Jiang Yao asked several places in succession, but was given a single word because of bargaining.
The command arrows given by Han Cang can only be used to prevent others from being bullied, but they cannot be used as money. You can't take out the command arrows and ask for a reduction in accommodation fees, right?
Yu Kan lay on Jiang Yao's back, her little face buried in her real clothes. She felt the bumps of Jiang Yao's walking, listened to Jiang Yao's footsteps, and the sound of the snake staff falling to the ground, and she couldn't help but feel the excitement in her heart.
Unprecedented sourness and heartache.
A small white hand stretched out the real clothes, straightened Jiang Yao's messy hair, and then retracted it.
Jiang Yao walked through the streets for a long time before finding a very shabby-looking inn in a very lonely alley in the southeast corner of the city: Luotuoju.
Stay home!
Good guy, even the name of the store was obtained so directly, and it didn’t give any face at all.
It seems that the people who stay in the hotel are Luotou customers, and the people who open the store are also Luotuo people.
A black dog lay lazily at the door, watching Jiang Yao arrive without raising his eyelids. But when it spotted Ah Jiu on the snake staff, it stood up suddenly, took a few steps back, and then
He whimpered and wagged his tail desperately.
Jiang Yao stepped into the store door in one step and saw a woman with messy hair leaning against the counter. One of her feet was raised on the counter, and she was lazily clasping her feet.
This picture... is a bit eye-catching.
Jiang Yao has only heard of foot-picking uncles, but has never seen a foot-picking girl.
There is nothing wrong with her feet. As for why they are tied, it is really a mystery.
Jiang Yao could tell at a glance that this woman was a martial artist, probably in her early thirties at most. With her cultivation level and her age, she could be considered a winner in life, but yet she was running such a humble shop here.
"Sir, store owner, stay at the hotel." When Jiang Yao saw this woman, she felt a little unsure for some reason.
Logically speaking, she shouldn't be called the owner of the store, but she is Wu Zun, and Jiang Yao can only create this title.
The woman's hand did not stop. She shook her messy hair, raised a pretty face that looked like a painting, and opened her red lips like diamonds, "Two pieces."
Then, she actually laughed.
She laughed so hard that her whole body was shaking, but her beautiful hand still didn't let go of her feet.
"Haha!" The woman pointed at Jiang Yao with her other free hand, "You only have a pair of small pants. Not bad, they are quite casual. You can just stay in our hotel."
Jiang Yao resisted the urge to curse, smiled, and took out two spiritual stones.
However, Jiang Yao suddenly thought of something, and he said in a consultative tone: "Sir, can you give us credit first and then settle the bill when you leave?"
