The wide river seemed to suddenly become narrower. The reason for the narrowing was not because the river really narrowed, but because there were more boats all of a sudden. Countless boats were crowded on the river. On the wide river, it seemed
It will also appear to be very narrow. Zhao Hai and Deng Yong are now standing on the deck of the ship. Like other merchants, they are looking at the ships around them with excited expressions on their faces. Some of them are already living on the ship.
After more than a month, they finally arrived at their destination. Of course they were very happy.
But Zhao Hai looked at the city wall in the distance. The city wall was really very high. It seemed to be more than ten feet high. The whole body was made of a kind of red stone. Maybe it was because it took a long time to build.
, so the city wall looks dark red, just like the color of blood.
There are many flags on the city wall, and you can also see moving black spots one by one. Obviously there are soldiers on the city wall, but what Zhao Hai is really surprised about is how prosperous the Wudu is, with more than 1.5 million people.
The big city where I live can really be said to be a metropolis in a relatively ancient era.
Deng Yong also looked at the city wall with excitement, lowered his voice and said: "We are finally here, and now we are safe. People from the Demonic Way will never dare to take action here. If they really dare to take action here,
Then they will receive a ruthless blow from the Martial Alliance, which they cannot afford."
Zhao Hai nodded. At this time, the hull of the boat shook slightly, and then the people on the boat cheered. Zhao Hai said in a deep voice: "We are here, let's get off the boat. After getting off the boat, we will go directly to your home.
When we get to your house, it won't be too late for us to identify ourselves so as not to cause complications." Deng Yong nodded and did not speak.
Then they followed the people on the boat and got off the boat together. This was a very bustling pier, and the pier was also very huge. As soon as they got off the boat, they could hear various sounds, including the sound of boatmen carrying things.
There were also the sounds of hawking, some shopkeepers yelling and scolding the waiters, and even the sounds of Han Xuan after the two met. These sounds merged together to form a unique sound on the dock.
The two ignored those people and kept walking outside the pier. There were many people doing the same thing as them. After a while, they arrived outside the pier. When they arrived outside the pier, they saw Xiang'er standing next to them.
The two people were waiting next to a carriage. As soon as they saw the two people coming out, Xiang'er saluted them.
Zhao Hai and Deng Yong also walked over directly, and then got on the carriage. Xiang'er also got on the carriage. After the three of them got on the carriage, the coachman drove directly to the city. After the carriage started, Deng Yong
Yong looked at Xiang'er and said, "Xiang'er, I really didn't expect that you would arrive before us? Why did you think of hiring a carriage?"
Xiang'er smiled and said: "I've been hurrying up the road these days, but I've killed several horses, so naturally I'm a step ahead of you. After arriving here, I think you must go to the city after you arrive.
, so I hired a carriage and waited here for you every day. I have been waiting here for three full days before you arrived."
When Deng Yong heard what Xiang'er said, he couldn't help laughing and said: "How do you know that we will be slower than you? We arrived earlier? Then you are not waiting in vain?" Of course Deng Yong was teasing Xiang'er,
Deng Yong has discovered that although Xiang'er is Zhao Hai's maid, Zhao Hai does not treat her as a maid, and Xiang'er is also very powerful, with the strength of a first-class master. With such strength, if she still has
It would be unreasonable to treat her as an ordinary maid.
Xiang'er smiled and said: "It's impossible. If you had arrived first, the young master would have left a secret message for me. Now that the young master has not left a secret message for me, it proves that I arrived before you, so I am here."
I'm waiting for you." Xiang'er is not afraid of Deng Yong at all. She has discovered that Deng Yong is actually a very talkative person, and he and Zhao Hai are considered friends, so there is no need for her to be afraid of Deng Yong.
When Deng Yong heard what Xiang'er said, he laughed out loud and didn't say anything. Zhao Hai then said, "What news have you heard in the past few days?" Zhao Hai really wanted to know now, Wu
Is there any news here, especially about them?
Xiang'er immediately nodded and said: "I heard some news. Just a few days ago, news came out that there was a big battle in Cangwu Mountain. The masters of our Wudu ambush the masters of Tianmo Dao.
, killed many of them. Finally, when we arrived at Cangwu Mountain, Tianmozi suddenly attacked us, so all our group were killed. We also wanted to attack the master-level experts from the Martial League, but we were finally killed.
Taoist Master Yu Xuanzi stopped us, and Tian Mozi finally retreated, but our small team was completely wiped out."
At this point Xiang'er paused for a moment, then said: "But after we retreated to Wudu, news came again, saying that the team that was eliminated was not us. In fact, we had returned to Wudu a long time ago, and there were also rumors
It is said that Zhao Hai has now been welcomed to King Wu's Palace and has become a worshiper of the Martial Alliance. I heard that they are also preparing to open up a special area in King Wu's Palace and build a courtyard for you, young master, to live in. There are various
The news, both true and false.”
Zhao Hai nodded, then turned to Deng Yong and said: "What, we have indeed made arrangements, so now we are safe, but it seems that my position of enshrinement is unavoidable, no matter what, I'd better go first
Let your family talk about it." Deng Yong also nodded, and then directly ordered the coachman to tell him where to go.
The layout of the King Wu Palace is very special. The carriages here are all horizontal and vertical, and then the places where people live are turned into pieces, which look like vegetable fields. Those places are called squares.
, there is a wall around the periphery of each courtyard, which looks like a huge courtyard. This wall also has a certain defensive role. Except for the Wuwang Palace, each of the ten major families occupies
One square is the territory of this family, and the square where the Deng family is located is called Shenya Square, because the giant crows ridden by the members of the Black Crow Team are all bred by the Deng family, and the Deng family also has its own
They have an exclusive Black Crow Squad, so their workshop is called Shencrow Workshop.
The coachman was very surprised. He was an old man here in Wudu. Of course he knew where Shenyafang was. It was the territory of the Deng family. The Deng family was one of the ten major families in the Wu League and had a very important status.
There are so many people who usually go to visit Deng's house, and they usually have their own carriages. How could you ride in a carriage like his? His carriage was prepared by the dock for those merchants.
The carriage was not even qualified to go to Shenyafang, but now the people in the car asked him to go to Shenyafang. How could he not be surprised? He was even worried that if he went to Shenyafang, he would be raped by the Deng family.
Type it out.
However, he had to comply with the guest's request. He drove the carriage straight to Shenyafang. Wudu was very big. They walked for more than an hour before they arrived at the door of Shenyafang.
The gate of Shenyafang is very tall. Outside the gate, there is an archway. The archway is very tall. A giant crow is carved on the top of the archway, and the three characters of Shenyafang are carved below.
There are soldiers guarding the square gate.
When the soldiers at Shenyafang saw such a dilapidated carriage parked there, their faces darkened. They were yelling and cursing when they saw three people getting out of the carriage, and the leader they actually knew was Deng.
Yong, when they saw Deng Yong, the soldiers were all stunned. They had heard that Deng Yong had gone home long ago, and they had not seen Deng Yong go out. Why did he appear here again now? This made them very puzzled.
However, they immediately saluted Deng Yong and said, "I have met the young master."
Deng Yong is one of the younger generation and the eldest in his direct lineage, so the soldiers here all call him the eldest young master. Deng Yong also nodded and did not speak, but led Zhao Hai and Xiang'er towards the workshop.
Shi Xiang'er also threw a gold coin to the coachman. The coachman took the gold coin, saluted happily to the three of them, then turned and left.
The three of them entered Shenya Fang directly. They met many people along the way. Those people all saluted Deng Yong. Deng Yong just nodded and said hello. It didn't take long for them to enter the Fang.
At about the same time, he saw a group of people walking over. The leader was a middle-aged man about forty years old. As soon as Deng Yong saw this man, he quickly saluted and said, "Uncle Fifth, why are you out here?"
The person who came was none other than Deng Youxiao, who was in charge of intelligence in the Deng family. After hearing that Deng Yong was back, he ran out immediately. Now when he heard what Deng Yong said, he nodded at Deng Yong, and then he turned around.
He glanced at Zhao Hai, then he cupped his fists at Zhao Hai and said, "Deng Youxiao, I have met Mr. Zhao Hai."
The Deng family members who were following Deng Youxiao were all shocked when they heard what Deng Youxiao said. In recent times, Zhao Hai's name has been very popular in Wudu. They have all heard of Zhao Hai's name, but...
Unexpectedly, Zhao Hai appeared in front of them now. How could they not be surprised? All these people looked at Zhao Hai with surprised faces. They really didn't know why Zhao Hai suddenly appeared.
Appearing in their Deng family, you must know that few people in the Deng family know that Deng Yong and Zhao Hai did not come to Wudu. They all thought that Deng Yong and Zhao Hai had already arrived in Wudu and had just been living in the palace.
That's why they were so surprised when they heard Deng Youxiao say that the person who came was actually Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai saluted Deng Youxiao and said: "Mr. Deng is really too polite. Brother Deng Yong and I have a close relationship. He is the elder of brother Deng Yong. I really can't bear to be so polite to me. If Mr. Deng doesn't take offense,
If so, like Brother Deng Yong, I will call you Fifth Uncle, what do you think?"
When Deng Youxiao heard what Zhao Hai said, he couldn't help but be stunned. Then a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes, and then he laughed at Zhao Hai and said: "It's the best, it's the best. But in this way, I
It's a bit overwhelming, I really can't afford it, this is not the place to talk, let's go into the house and talk." After saying this, he turned to one side and made a gesture of invitation.
