The prince led the way, and Wu Dongfang followed behind. It was already four or five o'clock in the morning when he passed through the woods where the bison were. A river appeared in the north. The prince drank water by the river and walked east along the river bank. To be precise, It is said to be running eastward, but it rarely walks slowly and usually trots.
"How far is it?" Wu Dongfang asked. This river is located in the canyon between two peaks.
"You can see a bridge when you turn the corner in front. After crossing the bridge, you can see the capital of the Mu Clan." The prince said.
Wu Dongfang looked eastward and saw that the mountains tens of miles eastward had shifted to the southeast, and the river had also shifted to the southeast.
At noon, I saw the bridge, a wooden bridge located above the cliff, spanning the north and south banks, more than 20 meters long. The bridge was made of several thick tree trunks laid side by side. It was very simple and strong.
On the other side of the wooden bridge is a flat area, most of which is farmland. There is a large city in the middle area, with four roads leading from east to west, north and south. The wooden bridge is located on the south road, less than twenty miles away from the city. The bridge Passers-by pass by from time to time.
Wu Dongfang stopped, took off the cloth bag from his waist and handed it to the prince, "I'll go there myself. You wait here for three days. If I haven't come back after three days, you can leave by yourself."
"You said you wanted to treat me to a drink." The prince continued to run forward.
"When you get on the road, they will see you." Wu Dongfang chased after him.
"If you see it, just see it. What are you afraid of?" The prince continued.
"You will scare them." Wu Dongfang said.
"If a fox had scared them, they would have been scared to death." The prince did not look back and trotted ahead. "Don't worry, there are many beasts here, and they are much uglier than me."
"Can wild beasts enter the city?" Wu Dongfang asked in shock.
"Why not?" the prince asked.
"The Jin clan's city does not allow wild animals to enter." Wu Dongfang said.
"This is not the Jin tribe." The prince ran out of the woods onto the road. Passersby saw a big fox jumping out of the woods. They were a little surprised but not too surprised. They stared at it but did not keep staring.
Wu Dongfang walked a few steps quickly to catch up with the prince, "Why are wild beasts allowed to enter the city here?"
"Not everything can go in, only those who can turn into humans are allowed in." The prince said.
"What I'm asking is why the Mu people let wild beasts enter the city?" Wu Dongfang said.
"The Mu tribe is relatively friendly and has always had a good relationship with us. They allow us to go in to exchange things and also allow us to go in for medical treatment. Their medical skills are very good. Many foreigners and wild beasts from other places also come to see them for medical treatment." The prince said this. He paused and then said, "But I think they are not very good at magic, so they just pretend to be good people."
"It makes sense." Wu Dongfang nodded in agreement. Part of the reason is that the Wood tribe itself is relatively peaceful, and part of the reason is that the offensive spells of the Wood tribe are less powerful than the other four tribes, so they simply treat themselves as Switzerland and maintain good relations with other countries. Relationship.
Seeing the city right ahead, the prince sped up, "Hurry up, hurry up."
"I didn't see you running so fast when I was running for my life." Wu Dongfang knew that it wanted to go in and drink, so he could only follow it and run forward.
This city is half the size of a modern county town. It is surrounded by a city wall made of adobe. It is not high, only four or five meters. This style of city wall has almost no defensive properties. There is no moat outside the city. There are ten meters at the city gate. There were several soldiers and two middle-aged wizards in blue robes. The soldiers were standing at the gate of the city, and the middle-aged wizards were sitting in a pergola not far away.
Wu Dongfang looked at the soldiers first. These soldiers were much taller than the Tu soldiers, all over 1.75 meters tall. After looking at the soldiers, he looked at the two wizards. Their staffs were the same as the wooden staff that Fei Mu gave him. Completely different, it can be seen that the wooden staff Fei Mu handed him was not the staff Fei Mu used back then.
The prince ran to the city gate, and a soldier came out to stop him. He said kindly, "If you can't enter the city in the body of an animal, please turn into a human body."
"I'm sick and I came here to see a doctor." The prince shouted.
There don't seem to be many beasts like the prince that can speak without being human. The soldier was a little surprised to see that it could speak. He turned to look at the pergola, undoubtedly asking the two wizards for instructions.
"Please come in." One of the wizards nodded.
The prince ran in swaggeringly, and Wu Dongfang followed.
"Wait." Another wizard's voice came from the pergola.
The prince and Wu Dongfang stepped back again and tilted their heads to look at the wizard who spoke.
"This Brother Fox looks familiar. Has he been here before?" the wizard asked.
"I've never been here before. You got the wrong person." The prince turned and ran inside.
The wizard didn't ask any more questions and let the two of them enter the city.
"Did you steal other people's things back then?" Wu Dongfang asked.
"It's been so many years, but this guy has a good memory." The prince did not deny it.
"Don't steal anything this time." Wu Dongfang looked around. Not only the soldiers guarding the city, but also the ordinary residents in the city were much taller than the Tu people.
While he was talking, a carriage came from the front. It was a large carriage with eight horses. There was a chariot in the carriage, and a group of luxuriously dressed women were sitting in it. The driver was also a woman. She was tall and had three legs. Sitting next to her was a middle-aged witch, wearing a blue robe, who might have been married, without a mask on his face, and holding a red staff in his hand.
The carriage approached quickly, Wu Dongfang stepped aside and the carriage passed by, bringing with it a fragrant breeze.
"Have you seen enough? Let's go quickly." The prince urged from the side.
"Are they from the Fire Tribe?" Wu Dongfang asked.
"Yes, the eight-horse chariot is the formation of the Fire Tribe royal family." The prince said.
"What are they doing here?" Wu Dongfang followed the prince to the city.
"Maybe they are here to see a doctor, or maybe they are here to buy things. The ambergris here is very famous." The prince said.
"The Fire Tribe has its own wizards. Why do they come to the Wood Tribe for medical treatment?" Wu Dongfang asked again.
"There are still wizards from the Jin tribe, why don't you come here too." The prince became impatient and ran a few steps to distance himself, lest Wu Dongfang ask again.
Wu Dongfang followed quickly, walking side by side with the prince. The city here is very old. Most of the houses are made of adobe, followed by wood, and the least stone. There are almost no buildings with more than three floors. The prosperity is far less than that of the Tu people. The residents wear His clothes are also very crude. Although he is not sallow and skinny, he does not look very happy either.
The prince had been here before. After entering the city, he took Wu Dongfang directly to an inn. When they arrived, it was dinner time and there were many people in the inn.
At this time, people without writing could not cook, and everything to eat was placed outside. The meat here was only pork, and there were many vegetables. In addition to these, there was also something that stunned Wu Dongfang, fish. There was actually fish in the sea. fish.
He had no more shells, so he took out the little jade toad. The clerk took it to the shopkeeper, who gave him five shells. Here, you eat first and pay later.
"I have exchanged jade bis for shells in the Tu area before, but not so much." Wu Dongfang said.
"You must have been deceived. The worst of the five tribes is the Tu tribe. The other four tribes are more honest than the Tu tribe." The prince stared at the table opposite, or rather at the wine bowl, with a salivating attitude. No. The posture is really drool-worthy.
The wine and food were served quickly, and the prince began to eat and drink. He preferred the latter to blood food and cooked food, but his favorite was wine.
Wu Dongfang took a sip. The alcohol content here was higher than that of the Tu and Jin people. It should be more than ten degrees, which was quite spicy.
When the prince drinks, he drinks in big gulps, not licks. Once Wu Dongfang drinks a bowl, he pours another bowl for him. It is not convenient for the prince to pour the wine himself, so he has to do it.
"What does it feel like to drink?" Wu Dongfang asked with a smile. The prince looked like he couldn't be happier. He also liked drinking, but he didn't like it as much as the prince.
"Have you ever been close to a woman?" The prince tilted his head and asked.
"Haha, why do you ask that?" Wu Dongfang laughed. The words now used to describe having fun with a woman are close and close. There is also Japanese, but it is used less often and is generally used to curse people.
"It feels similar to that." The prince smiled evilly.
"You drink less, do your business first after dinner, and then drink later in the evening." Wu Dongfang said, the prince talks too much when he drinks too much, just like a human being.
"Okay." The prince agreed happily.
Sea fish is relatively expensive at this time, but the prince is not interested in it. He likes to eat meat when there is fish and meat.
After eating and drinking, they found out where Fei Qing lived, paid the bill, and went out to the east of the city.
In about twenty minutes, Wu Dongfang found the place where Fei Qing lived based on the clerk's description of the large open space in front of the door and the two large willow trees at the entrance to the yard. What he didn't expect was that the open space outside the yard was filled with all kinds of cars. There were people on every chariot, and there were also people coming on foot, more than a hundred people.
"Fei Qing seems to only see ten patients a day, and you have to queue up to see him," the prince said.
"Then it can't be scheduled until half a month later?" Wu Dongfang frowned.
"It's not necessary for half a month. It's enough for ten to eight days. Go and get the sign." The prince drank too much and was a little sleepy.
"The nights are long and the dreams are many." Wu Dongfang shook his head slowly. He came here to help Fei Mu deliver something to Fei Qing. To be on the safe side, it was best to see Fei Qing directly without being notified by the concierge. God knows if there is a fake Qinglong Tian here. The teacher's eyeliner.
"Want to hurry up?" The prince tilted his head and asked.
"Do you have any idea?" Wu Dongfang asked.
"Nothing can stop me. Just wait for me." The prince ran towards the south alley.
Not long after, the prince came back with blood all over his head and face.
"What?" Wu Dongfang asked.
"Chicken Blood, I'm about to die, carry me in." The prince said.
Wu Dongfang stood still. The prince was pretending to be in an emergency, which was a lie.
"If you don't want to queue up, this is the only way. Hurry up." The prince urged.
Wu Dongfang thought for a moment and reached out to pick it up. The prince tilted his head, opened his mouth, and stuck out his tongue.
"Pretending to be sick is not pretending to be dead. Why are you sticking out your tongue?" Wu Dongfang frowned helplessly.
"This is more miserable." The prince said,
Wu Dongfang sighed, hugged it and walked north.
"You have to run, you have to scream, you have to pretend to be anxious." After the prince finished speaking, he stuck out his tongue.
Wu Dongfang stopped, worked up his emotions, and ran towards the courtyard gate with the prince in his arms, "Give way, give way, my friend is about to die..."
