Jiang Chaoge changed into Meng Sheng's clothes and shoes, wrapped the knife in rags, and carried it behind his back. He carefully folded his custom suit and put it in his luggage. He must keep the things he brought from his own world, and he will always remind himself where he came from and where he should go back.
The clothes of the people in Tianling Kingdom are very distinctive. The style of the men's clothes is similar to the ancient Chinese strong clothes, which is not sloppy at all. In Jiang Chaoge's opinion, it is a bit like the clothes in the Xianxia game, and it is very spirited to wear them. However, Meng Sheng was relatively poor at first glance. The fabric of this clothes was rough, which was far worse than the clothes worn by the third prince.
"Meng Lao, buy me a set of clothes when you get to town. These clothes and boots are a bit small."
Meng Sheng glared at him, "If you have money, buy it yourself. Do you know how much those two black panthers cost me?"
Jiang Chaoge pouted. The world also uses gold, silver and copper as currency. If he knew this, he must have brought a big gold chain as thick as a thumb.
"Let's go." Meng Lao took out two horse-shaped bone carvings, and flung them into the air, and the two horses appeared in front of them.
Jiang Chaoge was quite envious. When would he be able to do this, let go and create an army of beasts.
Meng Sheng saw through his mind, "This kind of trick is only the lowest level of soul power manipulation. When you get to a safe place, I will teach you how to cultivate your soul power, but all I can teach you are entry-level, you need to cultivate high Level of soul power requires a lot of effort, I will tell you slowly.”
Zhi Xuan snorted out of his nose, "With your current cultivation, when you reach his age, you won't be able to be my soul soldier."
Jiang Chaoge was slightly embarrassed, "Is it that exaggerated, I learn things very quickly."
Meng Sheng said: "Xiao Jiang, it depends on your good fortune."
Zhi Xuan glared at him and said, "If you find a suitable soul soldier for me, I will spare your life."
Meng Sheng said with a smile: "Lord Zhi Xuan, if there is a soul soldier who can match your soul, we will definitely let you know."
Jiang Chaoge picked up Zhi Xuan and put it on the horse, "Before you find it, you should feel wronged."
Zhi Xuan said angrily, "Don't touch me casually."
"Then you get on the horse yourself?"
Zhi Xuan gave him a vicious look.
Jiang Chaoge got on the horse and brushed his long hair that fell to the ground, "Would you like to tie your hair up, I'll be crushed later?"
"Fool, don't touch my hair." Zhi Xuan put his hair on the front of his chest, the cheeks on his small face were bulging, and he seemed to be very angry.
Jiang Chaoge thinks he is also very funny, if he doesn't care about a strange beast in his heart.
They left the small village at night and rode their horses against the full moon.
Zhi Xuan grabbed the horse's mane and didn't want to get close to Jiang Chaoge, but he jolted immediately, and after sitting for a while, his small body couldn't hold up anymore, and he couldn't help leaning back. As soon as he approached Jiang Chaoge's arms, he grumbled dissatisfiedly, and sat up straight again, repeating this three times, Jiang Chaoge became impatient and pushed him into his arms, "Lord Zhi Xuan, you should sit still, this way. We're all comfortable."
Zhi Xuan raised his head and glared at him, "Who is to blame for my appearance? If it weren't for you..."
"Trash, yes, it's all my fault. I will definitely work hard to cultivate my soul power, so that you can appear in the world earlier."
Zhi Xuan snorted lightly, and found a comfortable place to lean against in Jiang Chaoge's arms. His big round eyes couldn't stop looking at the surrounding scenery. For him who had been sleeping for thousands of years, everything was new to him now. , if it weren't for this form that made him depressed, being able to wake up from a deep sleep was what the soul beast was most looking forward to.
After dawn, a small town appeared in front of them, and Meng Sheng jumped off the horse, "The small town in front is the outer gate of Tian'ao City, even if you leave the city, you are out of the scope of the imperial capital, come down, let's rest and rest. ."
Jiang Chaoge didn't ride a horse for a long time. After several hours of concentrated riding, his legs trembled. He put Zhi Xuan under the root of the tree and sat down with him.
Meng Sheng threw a dark dough to Jiang Chaoge, "Eat something, and after a while, you have to be alert after the outer door, and you will definitely encounter an inspection."
Jiang Chaoge looked at the dough and frowned deeply, "Meng Lao, are you too poor, or do people in this place eat these things?"
Meng Sheng rolled his eyes at him, "I'm poor, but the things in this world are not very tasty."
Jiang Chaoge sighed, handed the dough to Zhi Xuan, and asked tentatively, "Do you want to eat it?"
Zhi Xuan turned his head and said disdainfully, "It's dirty and smelly."
Meng Sheng explained: "Soul beasts don't need to eat."
Jiang Chaoge was helpless, so he had to bite the bullet, um, it was worse than that bowl of batter, "Meng Lao, what do you usually rely on for a living?"
Meng Sheng cleared his throat, "If there are soul-conscious people on this continent, if they are not from aristocratic backgrounds, they will either work for the aristocracy or be self-reliant. If they work for the aristocracy, they can live a decent life, and also have the opportunity to get promoted and rich, and get a high rank. The soul weapon is not very free; if you are self-reliant, there are many ways to make a living. Some people make horcruxes, some people sell horcruxes, some people specialize in hunting raw materials for making horcruxes, and some are mercenaries and thugs. In short As long as you have soul power, you can make a living. I've done everything, and I can't survive or starve to death anyway."
Jiang Chaoge thought to himself, when he got to a safe place, he had to find a way to make some money. He was the most annoying of the hard life. He suffered for too many years when he was a child. .
"After entering the city in a while, you will see a lot of novel things, remember not to make a fuss, and don't let people see that you are from another world. The prince must have wanted us at the outer gate, we have to go separately, you Just go straight to the city gate with Lord Zhi Xuan."
"Okay." Jiang Chaoge glanced at Zhi Xuan, "Your eyes..."
Zhi Xuan rolled his eyes at him, and his pupils gradually changed from brilliant golden to ordinary black, which made Jiang Chaoge heave a sigh of relief.
After the rest, Meng Sheng put away his horse, Jiang Chaoge hugged Zhi Xuan, and walked towards the outer gate.
At this time, there were not many people entering the city, and the guard yawned and came over with a wanted notice.
Jiang Chaoge was a little nervous in his heart, but with a child, he could provide some cover.
The soldier gestured at him twice with the wanted notice, Jiang Chaoge glanced at the portrait, which was too fucking abstract. It is no wonder that he stayed in the hall for less than ten minutes at that time, and few people could remember his appearance. If someone could recognize him in such an ugly painting, it would be an eye-opener.
Sure enough, he was poised, and the guards just looked at them and let them in.
Although it is only a small town outside the gate of the imperial capital, it is still much more prosperous than the towns they passed by along the way. Early in the morning, the market was full of people coming and going. Jiang Chaoge was the first time he really came into contact with the lives of people in this world. No wonder Meng Sheng reminded him in advance that there were so many strange things in the market, which really opened his eyes. .
There was someone in front of me selling Horcruxes, such as cows that plough the fields, light eels that grow bright, and dogs that watch livestock. Jiang Chaoge went over to look at them. The hawker kept calling out these things, and he advertised that these Horcruxes were from the East. It was made by the apprentices of the Que family, which is of high quality and low price, and can be used for a hundred years.
On the other side, someone was selling soul weapons and soul armor, and a customer was bargaining with the boss about a land-level soul weapon.
Going further, there is an oversized pavilion filled with all kinds of bizarre animal bones. Those animal bones are of different sizes and are very complete. Some of the animal bones are packed in cages made of iron bars as thick as two fingers. , looks quite valuable.
Jiang Chaoge and Zhi Xuan were like two countrymen who had just entered the city.
When passing by a breakfast shop, there were white and tender steamed buns on the high cage drawers, exuding bursts of fragrance, Jiang Chaoge swallowed, thinking that those are what people eat.
It was a pity that he had no money, and was about to take a glance and leave when Zhi Xuan rudely picked up a steamed bun and took a bite.
Jiang Chaoge blinked and looked at the boss blankly.
The boss is an aunt in her forties, she said with a smile: "little brother, two copper coins."
Zhi Xuan was being held in Jiang Chaoge's arms in one hand, and he completely forgot himself when he ate. Jiang Chaoge lowered his voice and said, "Don't you always stop eating!"
Zhi Xuan licked the corner of his mouth, "You can eat it or not."
Jiang Chaoge turned to look for Meng Sheng, but there was no trace of Meng Sheng in the vast market. He doesn't have a steel rod on him, so what should he pay for
The lady boss was still smiling and waiting.
Jiang Chaoge pulled the hair that was scattered on his forehead behind his ears, frowned slightly and looked at the aunt, his deep eyes were full of distressing embarrassment and embarrassment: "Sister, the child has been hungry for two days, he is ignorant. , I'll let you see a joke, I... Our father and son finally walked to the imperial capital to join relatives, and we have no money."
Zhi Xuan's eyes widened, and just as he was about to open his mouth to scold him, Jiang Chaoge shoved the buns into his mouth and motioned him to shut up with his eyes.
The proprietress frowned and said "ah" in embarrassment.
Jiang Chaoge took off the ring from his hand, handed it over with red eyes, and deliberately said loudly, "But don't worry, I'm not a defaulter, this is my wife's relic, and the most precious thing for our father and son. Here, when I earn two coins, I will come back and redeem it!"
The people around sympathized with him, "Oh, such a small child must be starving, it's just a bun."
"That's right, this little guy is so handsome. He doesn't look like a renegade person. It's a big deal for a child to eat a bun, or just two coins. I'll pay them."
The proprietress immediately felt embarrassed, "Oh, forget it, will I compare a bun, little brother, take back such an important thing, it's not easy to see your father and son..." She picked up a few buns and threw them into the cloth bag , "Come on, take it to eat on the road, the people of Huangdu are not stingy."
Jiang Chaoge was moved and said, "Sister, are all the people in Huangdu as beautiful and kind as you are?"
The proprietress couldn't close her mouth with laughter, and stuffed two more boiled eggs.
Jiang Chaoge left the breakfast stall, Zhi Xuan also spit out the steamed buns, he glared at Jiang Chaoge with contempt, "You are impatient with your life, aren't you, dare to say that I am your son!"
Jiang Chaoge smiled and said, "Do you want to eat boiled eggs?"
"It's shameless to even lie."
"Do you want to eat boiled eggs?"
"Yes, peel the egg shell for me."
One big and one small walked to the city gate while eating. When they arrived at the city gate, four steamed buns and two eggs entered his stomach. Only then did Jiang Chaoge feel that he had really eaten.
Zhi Xuan hiccupped, his face flushed red, "Human food is pretty good."
Jiang Chao Gepi said with a smile, "Ancestor, just be happy if you are happy."
"What is 'ancestor'?"
"It's your honorific title."
"What did you mean by '100 meters' yesterday?"
"It's the length. It's about fifty or so long as I am."
Zhi Xuan pouted, "What strange words..."
After the two of them talked, they walked to the gate of the city. After leaving the gate, even if they officially left Tian'ao City, Jiang Chaoge found that his abstract portrait was posted on the gate with great fanfare. He held Zhi Xuan with his head held high. walked past.
"Wait." A guard stopped him. "Where are you from? Where are you going out of town?"
Zhi Xuan spoke out the speech Meng Sheng had prepared for him.
The guard took the painting and compared it for a long time, but he was not sure, so he walked around behind him, "What are you carrying on your back? Is it a knife?"
Jiang Chaoge said calmly: "It's not a knife, it's a pair of snake bones, and I intend to sell it out of the city."
"Take it apart and show me."
Jiang Chaoge put Zhi Xuan on the ground, slowly unfastened the rope, and secretly looked back to see if Meng Sheng was coming.
At this moment, there was a sudden noise in the market, and then a dozen animals appeared out of thin air. They were running around on the street. In addition to ordinary animals, Jiang Chaoge also saw the body of a human-faced rat. The monster, and I don't know what kind of monster it is, the city is in chaos for a while.
"What's the matter!" the guard shouted, "Come and see with me." He pointed at Jiang Chaoge, "You wait in place with the child, don't run around."
Jiang Chaoge nodded again and again.
Taking advantage of the chaos in the market, Meng Sheng jumped out from nowhere, dragged Jiang Chaoge out of the city, and immediately summoned two horses, the three mounted on the horses, and ran away without looking back.
Jiang Chaoge looked back at the outer door, "You summoned those things just now?"
"Otherwise who else." Meng Sheng glanced at them panting, "Bun won't leave me one."
Jiang Chaoge smiled and said, "I'm so hungry, it's mainly because my little ancestor is too good to eat."
Zhi Xuan snorted, "You are poor."
Meng Sheng smiled and said, "When I get out of the city, I will be able to get rid of Prince Shu's pursuers."
"Really? Where are we going?"
"Go to my house."
