Following the creaking sound of the wheels on the stone slabs, Ren Baqian sat on the bullock cart and looked at the buildings and pedestrians on both sides.
In a completely unfamiliar environment, there is a feeling of traveling.
Most of the buildings in Longshou City are made of wood or pillars.
The building is very dilapidated, the closer the city gate is, the more so it is.
Lots of little kids in old clothes or bare bottoms running around, or looking at him while biting their dirty fingers.
No matter where you are, poor or rich, children are always full of vitality.
Adults see more on their faces.
After roughly looking around, Ren Baqian felt that the situation of ordinary residents should not be too good. Whether it is in dress, color or mental outlook.
Worn out, mentally insensitive, not many smiles.
As we walked deeper into the city, the buildings on both sides improved a lot, and some flowers and plants began to be planted outside the houses on both sides as decorations.
"Joyful Inn?" Ren Baqian first saw a big "客" character, and then saw the name of the inn after getting closer.
As expected of the largest inn chain in Jianghu, they have all opened to Dayao in another world.
"Boss, let's go to the two rooms." Ren Baqian walked into the yard and shouted, which was always played on TV.
"What is the upper room?" The proprietress in front of the counter raised her head and opened her mouth with a foul smell. The person is quite beautiful, although the forehead is a bit big, but the eyebrows are curved, the almond eyes are about 30, and the look is charming, giving people the impression that they are long-sleeved and good at dancing.
"Up to the room... the best room." Ren Baqian's face collapsed, and he got off to a bad start.
"Niu Er, there are two first-class rooms." The proprietress first yelled, and then smiled at Ren Baqian: "The guest's words are very interesting, come from afar?"
"Well, from Yunguo." Ren Baqian nodded, this is his identity this time.
He and Lin Qiaole don't look like the survivors of the country of Hao, but they look like the people of Daxia in the country of Yun.
"Are there still wars? Is the journey easy?" the proprietress asked.
"It's going. The road is not easy to walk, and it took a lot of effort. There is an ox cart outside, I will drive it into the yard first." Ren Baqian dropped the words and went out to bring the ox cart in.
The proprietress leaned against the door and watched Ren Baqian's movements, her eyes flickered, and she was slightly puzzled when she saw Ren Baqian's movement of tying the cow to the stable.
The movement of tying the ox and the rope is not like that of Yunguo people, but more like people of the ancient tribe.
People in Yunguo like to fasten Qingyun buckles, while people from the ancient tribe wear three-ring buckles to fasten their mounts.
Ren Baqian watched how the guards tied the mount to the tree every day, so he was naturally used to their way of fastening, and he didn't think there was anything wrong.
When Ren Baqian looked up at her, she smiled again.
"Are you there?" When Ren Baqian opened the curtain, Lin Qiaole hummed twice, and slowly "crawled" out from inside, as if she had no bones on her body.
When she came out, Ren Baqian was asked to carry his suitcase again, and the two of them entered their room under the leadership of the waiter, which was two adjacent rooms on the second floor.
When going upstairs, the proprietress asked lazily: "Is there nothing in the car? If you lose it, you will not be responsible."
"Gone."
"Customers bring less goods.
The room is clean.
After all, this is Longshou City, the first city to enter the basin, there are many businessmen coming and going, and the inn is also good.
"Let's go, go out for a walk." Ren Baqian kicked Lin Qiaole who was paralyzed on the bed as soon as he entered the room.
"Well… "
Ren Baqian took out a lollipop with a blank face, waved it in front of Lin Qiaole, and then threw it towards the door, a gust of wind passed by, and Lin Qiaole appeared at the door.
Sure enough, sugar is not a panacea, but it is absolutely impossible without sugar.
Then Ren Baqian opened the box, took out a grenade, put it in the purse and hung it on his waist. I heard that there are many pickpockets here
Then the box was locked again, and the two of them left the room.
"Miss Boss, don't allow anyone to enter our room." Ren Baqian threw down a sentence.
"Don't worry, if someone goes in, I will break his claws."
Not long after Ren Baqian left, the proprietress wandered upstairs and opened the door to go in. She took out a wire and poked it twice in the lock. When she opened the box, she saw a pile of bullets, a dozen grenades, and more. There was a rifle, some notebooks, and a bag of broken silver.
First, I picked up the book and flipped through it, and found that it was in an unfamiliar font.
I carefully looked at the grenades and bullets one by one, and finally put them back into the box before locking them.
…
Ren Baqian led Lin Qiaole out of the room, walked towards the city with his hands behind his back, and looked at the shops on both sides.
There are all kinds of cloth shops, salt shops, medicine shops, rice shops, and clothing shops, and there are people coming and going in front of the door, which seems to be lively.
After standing by the side and watching for a while, Ren Baqian knew who the people in these shops were.
Many people go in with a bag or a few bags on their backs, put them on carts or carry them away with bamboo. They don't look like ordinary people, but small traders in other cities.
Buy the needed items at a low price here, and then go to the countryside or small towns to sell them.
After walking not far, I smelled a scent that filled my nostrils. I followed the smell and found that someone was using a stove to roast a fruit that was much larger than a lychee. After roasting for a while, the shell would crack and emit It has a tangy fragrance.
"How did you sell it?" Ren Baqian asked.
"Three for one penny."
Ren Baqian turned his head to look at Lin Qiaole next to him, his saliva dripped down his neck into his clothes.
"Thirty here." Ren Baqian threw a piece of silver over.
The outer shell is very hot to the touch, and the shell is peeled off to reveal the golden flesh inside.
It tastes a bit like nata de coco, a little bit chewy, but the taste is not bad.
On the next road, Lin Qiaole was holding packs of snacks and couldn't stop talking there.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way..." There was a sound of horseshoes, and several people in long gowns galloped across the street on pony horses, which caused a little commotion.
"Who are they?" Ren Baqian asked a peddler standing on the side of the road.
"The guests come from far away? They are from the Nine Knife Gate. Don't provoke them and you'll be fine." The peddler laughed.
"Riding wildly in the city, no one cares?" Ren Baqian asked.
"Don't talk nonsense, the Nine Knife Gate has a lot of power around here, if someone else hears it, be careful not to trouble you." The peddler said hastily.
"So overbearing? I didn't say anything, I just asked if anyone would care about this situation." Ren Baqian raised his eyebrows, and casually threw a piece of silver to the peddler.
"Please excuse me, we are from other places, we should find out the land first, so as not to offend people who shouldn't be offended."
"The guests will know after staying for a while. Many of the city guards are disciples of Jiudaomen, and there are also many people from the Department of Public Security. As long as there is nothing wrong, naturally no one cares about them." The peddler looked around. Said softly with a glance.
Ren Baqian threw another piece of silver over there, but he heard a lot of news from the peddler.
Within the scope of Longshou City, the biggest force is not the palace master who controls five thousand defenders, but a sect called Jinhuan Mansion, which is the largest sect in the area of Dragonshou City, Thorn City, and Sanyuanli City. .
Of course, this Golden Ring Mansion is only the biggest force in this area.
And Dragonshou City actually belongs to one of the largest forces of the three parties in this basin.
Therefore, although the Golden Ring Mansion is stronger than the Palace Lord of Longshou City in this area, it does not dare to provoke the Lord of Dragonshou City.
Of course, City Lord Longshou would not provoke them, because the Golden Ring Mansion is not just a sect.
In addition to these two parties, there are two smaller sects, one is Jiudaomen and the other is Jiangliu School.
In addition, there is a gang called Dead Toad in the local area, which controls a group of local ruffians and thieves. It is not very powerful. After all, if it becomes big, the palace master of Longshou City will not tolerate them.
According to the peddler, even this dead toad cannot be provoked by outsiders.
When going out, safety comes first, and kindness is the most important thing. No matter who you meet, just keep your head down, and there is no need to cause trouble.
Ren Baqian thanked the peddler for his kindness, and led Lin Qiaole to continue walking.
He was clear about the approximate sphere of influence of Dragonshou City. He did not expect that such a small city would have so many different forces. Compared with the area where the ancient clan was located, it was really too chaotic.
"Hey, someone stole your purse." Lin Qiaole mumbled while eating the fruit in her hand.
Ren Baqian touched the purse at his waist, but it was gone.
"Do you want me to grab it back for you? Five lollipops." Lin Qiaole's eyes lit up.
"No need." Ren Baqian smiled.
Presumably, the cannons will be heard in a while.
Others don't know what the function of the grenade is, but they will definitely pull it when they see the pull ring on it.
The two walked forward for two more cups of tea, when they heard a loud "Boom!" from a distance in the other direction.
Ren Baqian glanced in that direction, and continued to look for a place for dinner as if nothing had happened.
