Luo Chen smiled and cupped his hands towards Zheng Xiaoliu: "Then I'll lend you some good words."
After saying that, Luo Chen looked at Zheng Xiaoliu again and said: "Your injury is almost healed. Just take that elixir tonight to improve your strength! When you walk outside, you will have more strength and more protection. ."
"Well! It's time to take it."
Zheng Xiaoliu nodded seriously.
"Let's go! It's getting late, go to bed early, we have to go on the road tomorrow!"
After Luo Chen finished speaking, he patted the dirt on his hands and walked towards the inn.
Afterwards, the two found two clean rooms on the second floor of the inn and stayed there.
Nothing happened all night.
The next day, Luo Chen and Zheng Xiaoliu, who had broken through to the third-rate peak, got up early and continued galloping towards Zhongdu on their horses.
…
In the afternoon eight days later.
After walking for thirteen days from Wuwei City, Luo Chen and Zheng Xiaoliu finally approached Zhongdu, the capital of Daqian in Zhongzhou.
Zhongdu was once the capital of several dynasties. After the construction and development of several dynasties, Zhongdu has become the largest city in Kyushu in the Central Plains and the most populous city, with a permanent population of nearly five million.
"Ha! It is indeed the capital of Daqian. Wuwei City is like a child in front of it."
Standing in the distance, Luo Chen looked at this huge city dominating the land of Zhongzhou. The entire city stretched endlessly and was surrounded by tall and thick walls, like a squatting lion.
"Who says otherwise!"
Zheng Xiaoliu nodded and looked at the huge city in the distance: "This is probably the largest city in the world. Before, in the Western Regions, I always heard those red-haired ghosts say how big and tall the cities in the West are, but since they After I came to Zhongdu, I never talked about it again."
"Haha! Those cities in the west can't compare to this one."
Luo Chen smiled, looked away, whipped the horse on the butt, and rushed out: "Let's go! Let's see this first city in the world!"
"Haha! Let's go!"
Zheng Xiaoliu laughed and urged his horse to gallop to keep up.
Seeing that the huge city was right in front of them, Luo Chen and Zheng Xiaoliu galloped for nearly an hour before reaching the city.
Looking up at the towering city wall, Luo Chen felt like an ant.
"Haha! How much does it cost to build something like this!"
Luo Chen sighed, but suddenly he heard the person next to him breathing slightly quickly. He turned his head and looked at Zheng Xiaoliu in confusion: "What's wrong with you?"
"fine!"
Zheng Xiaoliu shook his head, with a serious face: "Although I have been here twice, standing under this tall city wall still feels a bit depressing."
"Uh...hehe!"
Luo Chen smiled and patted Zheng Xiaoliu on the shoulder: "It will be fine if you come a few more times. Let's go! Enter the city."
With that said, Luo Chen got off his horse and led the horse toward the long entry queue at the city gate.
When Zheng Xiaoliu saw this, he also got off his horse and followed.
There are four entrances to the city in the southeast, northwest and northwest. The place where Luo Chen and the two came is the south city gate. The south city gate has five gates for entry and exit, one large and four small. There is a large gate in the middle and two small gates on both sides.
Normally, the middle door is closed, and will only be opened when the Emperor Daqian comes in or out or for important matters.
Luo Chen and the two led their horses and waited in line for half an hour before entering Zhongdu through a small city gate on the right.
As soon as they entered Zhongdu, the bustling and lively atmosphere hit their faces, making the two people feel like they were a world apart after traveling for more than ten days.
"Candied haws on a stick, sell candied haws on a stick, one penny a bunch..."
"Meat soup! Fresh mutton soup, three pennies a bowl!"
"Recruit guards. Recruit guards who are above the mid-level third rate to go to the Western Regions. The commission will definitely satisfy you!"
"Ah! You stinking beggar, if you dare to come again, I will break your legs!"
"Let me, please let me..."
…
Listening to the hustle and bustle on the street and looking at the endless stream of people, a smile gradually appeared on Luo Chen's face:
“As expected of the economic center of Daqian, it’s really lively!”
"haha, yes!"
Zheng Xiaoliu also looked at the people coming and going on the street, smiling and nodding.
"correct!"
As Luo Chen walked, he asked, "You have been to Zhongdu, do you know where Tianbao Pavilion is?"
"Know!"
Zheng Xiaoliu nodded: "Tianbao Pavilion is in Dongshi, the most prosperous commercial area in Zhongdu."
"Well, the auction won't be held in two days. Let's find an inn near Tianbao Pavilion to stay."
"Um!"
Zheng Xiaoliu nodded and pointed to a street: "Let's take that street. The East Market is at the end of that street."
"Okay, let's go!"
After the two of them finished speaking, they walked towards that street.
at this time!
"Roar!"
"Get out of the way, get out of the way quickly!"
A lion's roar came to mind, and then a girl's silver bell-like shout came.
Luo Chen turned around and saw a young girl, sixteen or seventeen years old, in the middle third-rate realm, with an oval face, wearing a red lady's outfit, riding on a fiery red lion, rushing into the city from the city gate. Behind him were seven or eight guards on fast horses.
Judging from the aura exuded by the fiery red lion, it was obviously a beast-level flaming lion.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"
After entering the city, a group of people showed no intention of slowing down. They rushed forward while constantly scolding pedestrians on the street.
Especially the girl, who didn't care at all and rode the flaming lion on a rampage.
"Bang..."
"Ah... help..."
"Run quickly..."
There was a sudden uproar on the street. Many people were knocked down because they were not quick to dodge, and even the street stalls were knocked to pieces.
"Qing'er! Get out of the way!"
A woman who was knocked to the ground, with blood on the corner of her mouth, shouted heartbreakingly to the little girl standing in the middle of the road.
"Mother...wuwu..."
The little girl was crying in a cowardly voice, looking at the woman on the ground with tears on her face, not knowing that she was in danger.
"snort!"
Seeing that the little girl was about to be hit by the flaming lion, Luo Chen's figure was like lightning. He appeared in front of the little girl in the blink of an eye, picked up the little girl, and then punched the flaming lion.
"Boom!"
"Hooooo..."
"ah……"
"Bang! Bang..."
The Flame Lion was punched on the head by Luo Chen, and immediately fell to the ground wailing, then slid a few meters on the ground, smashing several tables and chairs at the nearby food stall before stopping.
The young woman on the back of the flame lion was also caught off guard, screaming and falling with the flame lion.
"Princess Princess!"
When the guards behind the young woman saw this, they were shocked and hurriedly dismounted their horses and rushed towards the girl who was covered by rotten wood.
"Be bold!"
Two of the guards rushed over and surrounded Luo Chen.
"Qing'er! My Qing'er!"
At this time, the woman who was knocked to the ground quickly got up and ran over crying.
Luo Chen smiled and handed the little girl to the woman.
"Thank you so much, Master, thank you so much, Master. If it weren't for Master, I would probably be..."
When the woman saw that the little girl was safe and sound, she hugged the little girl and bowed down to Luo Chen to thank her.
