Chapter 422: Liucheng
The golden crow bird finally landed near the camp outside Liucheng on the afternoon of the fifth day. The bumps along the way made the golden crow bird, which had been swept and sand for a long time, look exhausted. He immediately went into the special nest to rest. Before Kunhong could breathe a sigh of relief, he found Mingxi walking towards Liucheng. He was so scared that he followed him immediately without even taking a sip of water.
The Jinwu Bird's camp was stationed on the south side of Liucheng, not far away. Mingxi took off his cape and took out the potion prepared by Qiao Yu in the morning and dripped it into his eyes. Kunhong looked at his movements, and his heart skipped a beat and asked, "Where is your Majesty?"
Mingxi waved his hand, and when he turned back, his light golden eyes, which were unique to the royal family, had turned into a common brown color. He smiled casually, threw away the potion in his hand, and replied casually: "It's rare to come once. I always have to go around. I remember that Liu Chushan should be less than a hundred miles away from the north, right? While it was still early, I went to the near North Gate to see what was going on."
"North of the city?" Kun Hong took a deep breath and replied awkwardly, "The city wall in the north of the city is seriously damaged and cannot be closed at the moment, so it can only be opened day and night. After Liu Chushan was razed to the ground, many rocks fell over, and the roads have not been completely cleared. Moreover, more than half of the Golden Crow Birds were temporarily dispatched to other places to transport supplies in order to rescue disasters. Now there is insufficient staff near the North Gate, so you may be in danger in the past."
"It's not a problem." Mingxi just responded indifferently. After leaving, he almost suddenly remembered something and asked in a low voice: "Kunhong, how far is the west coast from Liucheng? How long will it take if he wants to come here?"
Kun Hong didn't understand why he asked such an insignificant question at all, but he immediately calculated it quickly in his heart and continued: "The west coast is near Jiacheng. If it was a normal caravan riding camels, it would probably take seven or eight days. The golden crow bird would be much faster and it would be arriving in two days."
"Seven or eight days...seven or eight days." Mingxi muttered to himself. It took him five days to come from the imperial capital. If Xiao Yibai really came, it would take at least two or three days.
He took a deep breath. Although the secret of the Sun Temple in Dayan City was urgent, for some reason there was always a sense of unhappiness in his heart, forcing him to stay here and see if that person would really not come.
After a long time, Mingxi's face changed and he snorted: "Kunhong, you go back first, it's inconvenient for you to follow me."
Kunhong held the cold sweat in his palm. Even if Mingxi said that, how could he dare to let him go into the city alone at this time?
The two entered Liucheng one by one, one by one, a few steps away. Mingxi looked up at the sky and could still vaguely distinguish the traces of the golden thread that had not been dissipated. His heart also relaxed slightly, and the expression on his face turned gentle. In fact, at that time, the Lord of Dayan City proposed this method to him. In order to stabilize the golden thread technique, he secretly opened up the collapsed King of Bound Water Jail and found the remaining Ten Palaces of Hell Magic Formation at the bottom of the prison to use it. However, this magic circle required the undead person to maintain it. He had no choice but to escort all the felons back from the prison in the four major realms, and finally succeeded with them.
But just protecting Yangchuan is already a huge consumption. If he wants to protect Gala and Yudu in the future, where will he find these sacrifices?
Mingxi shook his head sadly, and now he can only take one step at a time.
The city of Liucheng is much calmer than expected. It was originally a city famous for its "food". Even if it encountered an unprecedented disaster such as fragmentation, the reserved food of every household could barely hold on for a while. I remembered the Feng Mo's investigation of the five snakes of Yangchuan. It said that the second master of Liu in Liucheng was named Liu Hu, and was respected as "tiger snake". It was originally a tourist. He was very skilled and had sneaked into the deep mountains of the Demon Mountain several times when he was young to capture rare alien races. The alien race was originally known as "Six Spirits, Six Saints, Twelve Immortals and Forty-Eight Ancestors". Apart from the too rare Six Spirits and Six Saints, the remaining twelve Immortals and Forty-Eight Ancestors have survived to this day. It was precisely because he had captured these eight aliens that he opened a famous restaurant, called "Eight Immortals Village".
Thinking of this, Mingxi turned around curiously and asked Kunhong: "Where is Liu Hu's Eight Immortals Village?"
"Eight Immortals Village?" Kun Hong immediately felt nervous when he asked about this. He walked up and lowered his voice and said, "Eight Immortals Village is in the center of the city. Liu Hu has never been to the store in person since it was broken. His subordinates have heard rumors that Liu Hu was worried that his superiors would intend to target Wushe, so he has been hiding at home for a while. Originally, most of the tourists in the city had business dealings with him. He would take advantage of the fact that Liu Hu was gone to capture the aliens, trying to use this to please Liu Hu."
"Oh? Pleasing him?" Mingxi smiled disdainfully. No wonder when Gongsun Yan talked to him about the Five Snakes before, he said that the Fourth Master of Lei in Jiucheng was still calm. On the contrary, the Second Master of Liucheng was still doing whatever he wanted. He went around and found that his subordinates wanted to take the opportunity to show their attention. I was afraid that Liu Hu would be angry to death by these people now. He wanted to avoid the limelight, but was pushed to the front and attracted attention.
Kunhong looked at his face with interest, and saw the eyes that were covered by the true color by the potion gradually became sharp and bright, and then he said lightly: "Lead the way."
"Ah? You...you shouldn't want to go to the Eight Immortals Village?" Kun Hong's eyebrows were frowned, and Mingxi nodded, "I want to see with my own eyes what the so-called "Eight Immortals" are."
Kunhong couldn't stop it, so he could only lead the way in front of him. Originally, everyone in Liucheng knew him, but when he saw him leading a stranger on the street in a restless manner, he looked over strangely. When he was about to reach the gate of Baxianzhuang, a young man in a waiter costume jumped out of it. He ran into Mingxi's arms without looking at the road. Kunhong endured the cold sweat on his forehead and quickly pulled the person away, and then carefully glanced at Emperor Tianzun. He smiled gently, and he didn't show any expression like an ordinary person.
"Kun... General Kun? Why are you here?" The waiter rubbed his eyes and calmed down before he could see the person in front of him. Kunhong pursed his lips and glared at him. Before he could reply, Mingxi had already patted his shoulder and walked forward on his own initiative and asked, "I was rescued by this general in the desert and saved my life. After being hungry for several days, he insisted that he take me to the city to find some food to cushion the stomach. It looks like a restaurant here. Thank you General Kun for leading the way. You are busy, don't worry about me."
While he was talking, he had already stepped into the Baxian Village with his foot. The waiter glanced at him several times, and muttered a few times, "Hey, don't run around! There are so many places to eat in the city. I don't know how much money you can afford when you look poor. Go and eat elsewhere and don't be upset here."
Mingxi turned around with a smile. He was indeed wearing only an ordinary casual dress. His sick face didn't look like a wealthy family. But he turned around and put a wallet out of his arms, pulled the mouth of the bag very big and searched it in it. Finally, he took out a stack of silver notes and handed it over carefully. He asked softly: "Is these enough? This is my cousin's business, called Tianlu Business Company. Look at the nearby silver dealership that can be obtained. If it is not enough, I still have a lot of them."
The waiter looked straight. It turns out that he is not good at appearance. This weak young man is the relative of Tianlu Business Company?
Kunhong's face turned green when he was listening, and he did not dare to interrupt because of the emperor's unhurried eyes. The waiter took the silver note from him, but he placed the letter in the sun and carefully identified it for a long time. He blinked his eyes and asked curiously: "I wonder where this young man is from? Tianlu Trading Company is the industry of the Dongming Luo family. It is said that the big financial owner behind it is Jingge. Their trading company is not popular in our Yangchuan area. Is this Yangchuan, who escaped from Dongming, and he died again?"
Mingxi nodded. Yangchuan's business chain has been monopolized by the five snakes for many years. Gongsun Yan racked his brains to divide it up many times, but he returned in vain. The waiter was oh, and the two of them suddenly became very sympathetic and his attitude changed inexplicably. While collecting the silver notes, he sighed and said, "Then you are really unlucky, you will break wherever you go. However, the situation in Yangchuan is much better than that in Dongming. You can rest here for the time being. Don't run around if you have money. Who knows that Gala and Yu will not repeat the same mistakes!"
While Kunhong was stunned by the side, Mingxi was already led by the waiter to the Eight Immortals Village. There were indeed fewer customers than before, but the decoration and layout of the store was not affected by the fragmentation. The waiter was originally entertaining him in the lobby, but suddenly he remembered the thick stack of silver notes on his body. He rubbed his hands in a hurry. He thought that the business was bleak in the past half month, and Mr. Liu disappeared. Seeing that the monthly wages could not be paid on time, he finally caught a rich man and couldn't kill them. So he immediately came to Mingxi's ear and smiled and muttered: "Brother, why don't you move to the back hall box? You have soft pastries in the box, you can take a rest and cushion your stomach first. If you need any special services, you... just tell me again."
Kunhong pushed open the waiter. This black shop that slaughtered people gave him ten thousand courage, he didn't dare to let Emperor Tianzun leave his sight, so he simply sat down opposite Mingxi, coughed lightly and interrupted the waiter who was attentive and replied, "Don't be tedious, I'm hungry, I'll order food first."
Seeing that he had a strange look, the waiter remembered that he was the chief general of the Jin Crown Bird in the military hall, so he didn't dare to say anything more. When he turned around and was about to leave, Mingxi raised his hand and called him back. He looked at the nervous Kunhong and knew that he could not make them too embarrassed. He just smiled carelessly and pointed to the wooden sign hanging on the wall and said, "I heard that there is a 'Eight Immortals Banquet' in the Eight Immortals Village, which is famous for Feiyuan. Today I am fortunate to come here and I have to save General Kun's life. I should thank him for it in terms of emotion and reason. I wonder if this store may give me a seat now?"
The waiter's eyes flashed. The Eight Immortals Banquet is their special banquet, not only because "ingredients" are rare, and even if a nobleman wants to have a meal, he must make an appointment in advance. However, the business is bleak and the "ingredients" can be re-eated after half a month of recovery. Thinking of the stack of white silver notes in the young master's wallet, the waiter couldn't help swallowing a few bites and immediately replied with a smile: "You are not very lucky! The Eight Immortals Banquet has to be booked, but there is a ready-made one now. I'll go to the kitchen to prepare for you. Wait!"
