Wancheng is not big. Based on the length of the city wall, it is only about seven or eight square kilometers. Even if it is not based on the standard of a real city, the scale is not really grand. Compared with the few that Xiao Lang has seen in the game, Wancheng is not big.

Cities, such as Xin'an City and Duhu City, are far, far away, just like the difference between Kyoto and Gaojiazhuang.

And this gap is not only reflected in the scale of the city. Entering Wancheng, Xiao Lang clearly felt that the ventilation in the city was not smooth. To use a more literary term, the city was filled with the atmosphere of pastoral life. To use a more popular term, this

At that time, Xiao Lang felt as if he had entered a standard eight-person room in a college boys' dormitory. Except for boys, cockroaches, and flies, there were basically no living creatures living there.

The people in Wancheng looked dull and disheveled. If it weren't for the fact that there was more or less spirituality in their eyes, and if Xiao Lang hadn't seen what the common people in Xin'an City looked like, Xiao Lang would probably think that they were [Second

The art of "Paradise" is lazy, which makes these NPCs less like living "people".

Going to the center of the city, there are finally a few wooden two-story houses in sight, but they are not associated with the word "style". However, compared with Wancheng, these two-story buildings can indeed be called spectacular.

The captain led the way very carefully, always staying about five meters in front of Xiao Lang. Xiao Lang specifically tried it. If his pace slowed down, his pace would also slow down. If he speeded up, he would also speed up.

The pace, during this period, there is no need to look back at yourself.

Xiao Lang understood that such a rough job as leading the way would definitely not require an officer of the rank of captain, but since Jia Xu arranged it this way, Xiao Lang had no right to object.

In the battlefield of the Three Kingdoms, the captain could at least be regarded as a mid-level officer. Under Zhang Xiu, who had few good generals, he could not be regarded as a senior officer. Although Xiao Lang was not curious why he was not a Wuding-level NPC who was originally responsible for issuing tasks to players.

He personally led the way, but he originally wanted to get some information from the captain.

Even if it is impossible to understand the general trend of the world through Colonel Renyong's words, it should not be a big problem to at least understand Wancheng.

However, looking at this very "measured" captain, Xiao Lang gave up the idea of ​​going forward to talk.

After bypassing the center of the city and arriving at the North District, the captain stopped in front of a large courtyard and said to Xiao Lang: "Come in, strong man."

After saying that, he turned around and went back the way he came. He had no intention of being polite to Xiao Lang, and was just doing routine business.

Xiao Lang cupped his hands at the captain's back as a thank you. As for whether the other party could see or not, Xiao Lang didn't care.

Turning around, I looked at the quiet but not deep single-door courtyard. There was no word like "Jia's Mansion" on the lintel, and there wasn't even a janitor at the door. It was hard to imagine that this was where Jia Xu lived or worked.

However, considering Zhang Xiu's current foreign troubles and Jia Xu's character, this is actually not difficult to understand.

Xiao Lang walked into the courtyard, and after taking three steps around a small and pitiful vegetable garden, he saw the door of the main hall open, and there was already a player sitting there, kneeling and sipping tea leisurely.

If Xiao Lang hadn't known him, and his too young face didn't look like a native, just looking at his clothes, demeanor, and actions, Xiao Lang would have thought that he was the rightful owner of this trip, Jia Xujia

Wenhe.

Who among the average players would sit on their knees? Even Xiao Lang, if he hadn't looked at the sitting posture of the carriage and horse, he would probably have chosen to sit on the ground directly.

As soon as Xiao Lang entered the main hall, he saw a young man dressed as a servant carrying tea, placing it in front of him, and said to himself: "Sir, you are discussing something in the inner room. Please wait for the moment, strong man."

After speaking, he bowed to Xiao Lang and then turned to leave.

Xiao Lang picked up the tea, took a sip, curled the corners of his mouth slightly, and then put down the tea cup.

The chariot and horseman on the opposite side who had already started to look at Xiao Lang saw his actions and said, "Are you disappointed?"

"Tea with rice, oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar is one of the seven common customs of the ancients. This tea is not as refined as the wine. It is normal and cannot be said to be disappointing." Xiao Lang responded.

"Haha, it's interesting. Although the Seven Things to Open the Door is a saying only in the Song Dynasty," the carriage and horse said with a smile, "you are right. In the eyes of the ancients, tea is a vulgar thing, while drinking is an elegant thing. And it seems that [

The designers of "Second Heaven" are not illiterate. They know that this kind of tea drinking has just emerged in the Han Dynasty. It is not very refined and not very particular. It is not much different from the Red Robe Longjing of later generations."

After the chariot and horse minister finished speaking, he took another sip of tea. Seeing that Xiao Lang had no intention of speaking, he continued: "Although I already know the answer, I still have to ask, does Brother Xiao have the idea of ​​joining me in Snow Shadow Palace?"

"I have a contract, so I have no idea." Faced with the car and horse situation, Xiao Lang did not say perfunctory words such as "I'm used to it", but directly explained the reason.

Although the contract in [Second Heaven] felt a bit like a contract of betrayal, Xiao Lang actually did not reject it from the bottom of his heart. After all, the job was a job he liked, and the salary was generous enough. Xiao Lang really couldn't find a way to "jump out of the nest"

" reason.

"I see." Che Ma was too familiar with the situation to ask which company Xiao Lang signed the contract with, and for him, it was enough to know that Xiao Lang was indeed not a simple individual.

Then he turned to say: "In this battle with Xuchang, the most eye-catching force is our Xueying Palace, but this is meaningless in the first place. Even if we fail, it will not lose the reputation of Xueying Palace, nor will it endanger us.

Influence in Wancheng. But when it comes to the most eye-catching person, you are Brother Xiao. If it weren't for you, the outcome of this battle would have been difficult to predict."

From the moment the chariot and horse minister saw Xiao Lang, he passed on the news because he understood what it meant for a Sanren to be summoned by Jia Xu.

Although Xiao Lang is not a Sanren in the strict sense, everyone knows that Xiao Lang at this time is actually a Sanren without a home or belonging. Especially the reason why he was summoned by Jia Xu this time was not

Because there is some force behind him, and it’s because of himself.

The chariot and horse minister also understood that if it weren't for the Snow Shadow Palace behind him, and if it wasn't for this battle that caught Jia Xu's eye, the strategist wouldn't have been able to summon him so quickly.

This is the gap between him and Xiao Lang.

Xiao Lang listened to the complimentary words of the chariot and the horse, but his face did not show any expression. He remained as calm as ever. He responded: "Actually, the outcome of this battle has been decided with or without me."
