Chapter 95 Rushing to the Royal Capital
The north wind is howling, snowflakes are flying, and the sky and the earth are covered with snow. It is the coldest month of the year in Beiyuan again. The poor people "huddle" in the handicraft workshops, weaving and sewing around the stove, and forging iron and making weapons.
, earn some hard-earned money; the slightly more prosperous people stay by the fire in their homes to drink and chat; the wealthy people go to pubs and brothels to drink and order, listen to songs and find women, and live a free and unrestrained life.
For monks, it is not so leisurely. No matter whether it is windy or rainy, no matter whether it is spring, summer, autumn or winter, practicing and improving their cultivation seems to be their only pursuit and pleasure. Or it may be the bloody reality that urges them to forge ahead.
Guo Fei stood in the back garden of Xiyuan in the swirling heavy snow. His whole figure seemed to blend into the white world. The large snowflakes in the air brought with them the cold air flowing into his skin along with his thin clothes.
, merged with the ninja energy in Guo Fei's body, creating a feeling of water and water, which did not make Guo Fei feel uncomfortable at all, but gave him a feeling of comfort.
"Chi!" Guo Fei's figure shook, and the Xuanyue Scimitar was flying in tandem like black lightning in the wind and snow. After several days of practice, Guo Fei had already mastered this strange weapon like the Xuanyue Scimitar.
Showing power, weirdness, and agility.
"Sir, the princess is here!" A servant came to report wearing a heavy cotton coat.
"Yeah!" Guo Fei snorted, stopped and came to the living room.
Zhao Xue was wearing a white fox fur coat, her little face was red from the cold, and she looked like a rag doll.
"Princess, it's such a cold day, why are you here if you don't rest in the mansion?" Guo Fei shook off the heavy snow on his body and chuckled.
"You monks are still strong. It's such a cold day, and you don't even feel cold at all in your single clothes." Zhao Xue looked at Guo Fei's strong body and said with a smile.
"The princess has cultivated to the level of martial arts. I am afraid that the coldness of this heavy snow is like the warmth of the spring breeze in March to the princess, or it may be the princess's powerful weapon."
"Don't call me "Princess Princess" at the same time. It sounds harsh. From now on, just call me Xue'er." Zhao Xue said with a sweet smile.
Guo Fei was startled, then laughed and said: "I don't dare. If an unmarried man from Blackstone County hears this, I might be surrounded and die."
"What a mouthful!" Zhao Xuejiao laughed and continued: "The main reason I came here today is to give you the identity certificate to enter the monk's mansion. In two months, the selected monks will report to the royal capital. Don't miss the trip. Let's discuss it.
Itinerary to the Royal Capital.”
"Will the Lord's Mansion organize a unified organization to go there?" Guo Fei said in a daze.
"No. All contestants can go on their own after receiving the admission certificate. According to the regulations of the Zhao royal family, all royal children must enter the monks' mansion for training after they turn twenty years old, so I am going too, and I will set off the day after tomorrow.
The Guards Cavalry Brigade will accompany us, I want you to go with me. Zhao Ba is also going, he has already set off in advance." Zhao Xue said softly.
"Oh. I really want to go on the road with the princess, but I also want to go back to Heibi to see some of my brothers who depend on each other for life and death. The princess will leave first, and I will catch up later. I am alone and can move fast.
"Guo Fei thought about it and decided to go to the royal capital alone. It would be inconvenient to be with Zhao Xue. His soldiers were locked in the soldier talisman space, which was not an option. They also need to train and improve.
"Looking for excuses, are you avoiding me on purpose?" Zhao Xue said with an angry expression.
"How could it be? The princess is so beautiful, I can't wait to be with you all day long, hehe. Why don't you leave tonight, the heavy snow is flying, and the wedding night is full of flowers and candles, it will have a special charm!" Guo Fei looked up at the heavy snow outside.
, chuckled.
"You're so beautiful! My father and mother are going to entertain Leng Dao with me tonight. So I have to go back."
"A banquet with Leng Dao?" Guo Fei said slightly surprised.
"Leng Dao is my father's confidant. He is leaving here to go to the royal capital to study in a monk's residence. In addition, he has a deep relationship with my father, so along the way, my father asked him to escort me to the royal capital. I originally wanted to
I asked you to accompany me, but some people don’t appreciate it, and there’s nothing I can do about it.” Zhao Xue put a sign on the table, stood up and left.
"Why should Princess be angry? Maybe I will catch up with you soon." Guo Fei said with a smile.
"I hope so. Maybe they don't have me in their hearts at all and want to meet their 'little sweetheart'?"
"Haha. It's not the princess's style to be so jealous!" Guo Fei said with a smile as he walked her to the gate of the courtyard.
"Remember to catch up with us early, it will be in your favor!" Zhao Xue turned slightly, kissed Guo Fei on the cheek, smiled sweetly, got into the carriage of the Lord's Mansion, and left.
"This is a big deal! Hehe." Guo Fei touched his cheek, smiled, and walked into the room.
There is an iron plate on the table in the living room, which is engraved with simple patterns. On one side is also engraved the national flag of Zhao, a black giant axe.
Guo Fei put the iron sign away, looked around Xiyuan, called for his servants, and told them that he was leaving. Since he had said goodbye to Zhao Xue, Guo Fei naturally wanted to leave. Leave this place and go to a deserted place.
Strengthening the training of troops is the most important thing.
When I came to the main city of Blackstone County, I bought a lot of dry food and daily necessities, as well as some tents for sleeping outdoors. Although Guo Fei's cultivation level does not require these for sleeping outdoors, Guo Fei is a person who likes to enjoy himself and can rest comfortably.
, don’t want to sleep in the night sky.
There are a lot of these supplies in Blackstone County. Demon hunters who walk among the rivers and mountains all year round also need these things, so the sales volume is large and there are many businesses operating.
In addition to daily necessities, Guo Fei also went to the grocery store to buy a map. In this world, maps are extremely expensive things, more expensive than ordinary weapons. For example, a map of Zhao State costs ten gold coins. If it is expanded to
Several surrounding countries require more than a hundred gold coins. The entire Beiyuan map is basically priceless.
Moreover, the map is not marked in detail. There are only obvious landmarks such as roads and towns. Mountains, rivers, lakes, etc. are only marked areas without very detailed descriptions. It is just a reminder to mark whether it is a dangerous area.
However, only monks walking on the mainland need maps. Ordinary people may not be able to travel thousands of miles in their lifetime, so they don't need these.
Guo Fei bought a map that expanded to several countries around Zhao. Guo Fei now had money. The animal skins and monster blood in the soldier space were sold. These things were useless in his hands. A total of ten were sold.
Fifty thousand gold coins made Guo Fei a small fortune.
When we walked out of Heishi County City, the sky had darkened, and the heavy snow in the sky seemed to show no sign of stopping.
There are two roads to the King of Zhao City. One is the official road, which has official inns along the way and passes through the small town of Sanchali. The other is a small road that goes over mountains and ridges and runs diagonally southeast towards the royal capital. This road
It is extremely dangerous to walk among the lofty mountains. In some places there are no human settlements at all and wild beasts and monsters are rampant. Although the journey is a little closer than the official road, neither merchants nor the government choose this road.
Guo Fei chose this road because it was remote and sparsely populated. This was the reason why Guo Fei chose it.
