"We are almost at the border of Zhenwu Kingdom." Yi Xifeng replied uncertainly while looking at the map.
"No wonder, the weather seems to be a little colder."
From a carriage, the clear voices of young men and girls came.
There weren't many people along the way.
In the north of Zhenwu Kingdom, the terrain is flat and vast, with thousands of miles of wilderness, vast cultivated land and abundant grain production.
At this time, the depth of winter has passed, and spring has begun to warm and the flowers are blooming.
This simple carriage moved forward leisurely on the straight official road.
If you go further, you will reach the border of Zhenwu Kingdom, which leads to Goose City, the frontier city of Beast Kingdom.
"Stop! No one is allowed to enter the city without a customs clearance certificate!" The guard at the city gate sternly scolded the simple carriage.
A fair young man in white clothes on the carriage calmly stretched out a hand, and the black token in his hand shone brightly in the sun.
"City Order!?"
Under the huge city gate, in the narrow passage, the guards wearing black armor changed their expressions.
"Sir! Your Majesty, please pass!" The originally impatient black-armored guard immediately bowed and saluted respectfully after seeing the black token.
Some of the onlookers around looked at this scene in surprise. They had never seen the normally arrogant guard with such a respectful attitude.
The two middle-aged men who looked like refugees were unable to enter the city, so they could only stand at the pass and watch the passing carriages.
Because Echeng involves border population movements, the incoming and outgoing people are strictly scrutinized. Some refugees have been intercepted here, and those who passed through are mostly businessmen carrying large amounts of goods doing business between the two countries.
The simple carriage passed through the pass and entered the city.
The fair young man in the car was Yi Xifeng, who was playing with the black token and raising his eyebrows.
"This city order given by Elder Lu Zhanyuan can pass through all the gates of Zhenwu Kingdom. It is really so."
"Not only that, this city order is also a symbol of status. It is only available to the royal family and the upper echelons of Taoist sects. Anyone below the third rank of the government must bow respectfully when they see this sign." Zhong Lingxi explained with a smile.
"But we must be like the hidden heroes, hiding deep and acting righteously, and then take action at critical moments." Li Xintian said in a clear voice.
In the carriage, Zhong Lingxi, Yi Xifeng, and Li Xintian were sitting opposite each other.
"Jianghu, this time I have entered the Jianghu completely. There is no mission, no purpose. I can go wherever I want." Yi Xifeng held his head in his hands and leaned on the side of the carriage.
The two beauties in the carriage looked at each other and smiled. Zhong Lingxi and Li Xintian were equal beauties to any sect, sect, or palace.
The Emperor of the Han Dynasty was obsessed with beauty and wanted to overwhelm the country. Yu Yu couldn't get her for many years, so what she wanted was beauties like these two.
Now that two such stunning beauties were squeezed into a small carriage with Yi Xifeng, Yi Xifeng felt that he was so lucky.
The carriage was not big, and the three people inside were bumping shoulders as the carriage swayed.
Thinking back to the days when Yi Xifeng and Li Xintian first met in Yinren Village, Li Xintian was wearing a mask and his whole body was painted black.
She is as nimble as an elf and has as many clever ideas as Yi Xifeng.
Nowadays, the girl has become slim and graceful, and has grown into a look that drives countless men crazy. The only thing that remains unchanged is her agility.
At that time, Yi Xifeng and she were the first to know each other, and they were also the ones who were most likely to have their hearts flutter when they looked at each other. Later, due to various things, the two of them were often separated, but now they are finally reunited.
"Clang." There was a huge jolt in the carriage, and the long roar of the horses and the shouts of the coachman urgently pulling on the horse's bolts were heard outside.
The carriage shook violently. Ordinary people were already staggering, but Yi Xifeng and others were stable.
The Qingluan on Zhong Lingxi's shoulder is clever and flies around in the carriage. This Qingluan usually stays on Zhong Lingxi's shoulder and doesn't fly around. But if it really flies, it will be at the peak of Qi realm.
speed.
"Good boy, be quiet." Zhong Lingxi comforted Qingluan and stretched out a finger. Qingluan hovered on the finger, waved his wings to slow down, and stopped on that finger.
"I'm going to see what happened." After appeasing the blue luan bird, Zhong Lingxi picked up a bamboo hat in the carriage and put it on his head. The gauze hung down from the bamboo hat, covering Zhong Lingxi's pretty face.
We have just entered Echeng. This place is a frontier city for the Kingdom of All Beasts and the Kingdom of Zhenwu. It is equivalent to a trading city. The people who have settled in the city include citizens of both Beasts and Zhenwu.
If you go further, even if you completely enter the territory of the Ten Thousand Beasts Kingdom, you will still be able to reach the Hundred Thousand Mountains of the Ten Thousand Beasts Kingdom.
"You crushed my chicken to death, you have to pay for it!" the old man outside the carriage said angrily.
"Okay, old man, how much money do you want?"
"Twenty taels!!"
"Twenty taels!?" Zhong Lingxi said in shock.
"Twenty taels! Not a penny less!" The old man's voice became more arrogant.
Yi Xifeng poked his head out when he heard the sound and saw Zhong Lingxi wearing a purple veil confronting an old man.
Twenty taels of silver! Did you meet a porcelain man? My dear, this is the first time I have met a porcelain man in this world.
This place is located on the border between the two countries, and the people are mixed together. The people you meet today may be in other countries tomorrow, so some deceptions and abductions also happen from time to time.
The old man was very angry and looked very energetic. He was leaning against the car like a rock and would never let them leave. There was a chicken lying under the wheels.
"Oh, what are you doing? My chicken coop collapsed. This is my last chicken. I'm going to lose my lychee. If you don't pay me compensation, you're going to be arrested and thrown into the Yamen." The old man's eyes were contemptuous.
Looking at the simple carriage, from the decoration of the carriage and the strength of the horses, he could tell that these people were definitely not guys with a background, and they were easy to bully.
Yi Xifeng, who was standing opposite the old man, complained in his heart, "Don't you eat fried cakes, old man?"
Crowds of onlookers began to gather around him, but no one came out to say something fair, which made him feel that people here were indifferent.
The strange thing is that the onlookers looked at the old man with complicated expressions, showing both disdain and admiration!?
The old man with gray hair, but looking very energetic, put his hands on his hips, stared at Zhong Lingxi with wide eyes, and pointed at the chicken lying under the wheel.
Yi Xifeng was a little strange. First, it was the looks of the people around him, and second, the chicken didn't seem to be dead. Its wings had just moved slightly.
If you want to get into trouble, at least kill the chicken.
"Old man, please be sensible. What is your name?"
"My name is Xu Kun. You crushed my chicken to death. How can you make me rational?"
"Old man, your surname is not Cai." Yi Xifeng was shocked that the old man's name was Xu Kun. He wanted to ask the old man if he could sing and dance basketball.
"I was born in Caijia Village, but my surname is not Cai." The old man looked at this fair-skinned young man who was a little excited and wondered why he was so excited.
