The mountains are far away, the moon is long in wavelength, and the dusk clouds and spring shadows dip into Xiaoxiang.
The four figures stretched out on the street.
It was already Xu Shi (seven o'clock), the people of Jinling City were already full of food, and lanterns had been hung in front of the eaves of the wealthy master's house.
Occasionally, a few dog barks can be heard in the deep alley, signaling the arrival of night.
The curfew in Jinling City is at Haishi. At this time, many people can be seen on the street going out to visit the night market and having tea at teahouses and stalls.
Lin Yanli put her hands in her sleeves, enjoying the brief peace.
Such a pleasant time will disappear with the wind in half a year.
Following the female sword cultivator, they walked through the crowd and arrived at a private house in the eastern suburbs of the city.
This is a luxurious courtyard covering an area of 100 acres.
Lin Yanli stood under the eaves, raised her head slightly, looked at the three words on the plaque, and read it out.
"Yixinzhai."
This is her second time coming to this place.
The first time she came here was at the invitation of Zhao Dan to discuss the matter of the wild beasts. Here she met Taoist Chiyang and formed a good relationship with him.
Later, in order to repay her kindness, Taoist Chiyang gave her his sword inheritance to her. From then on, she defeated Shen Qiao and Lu Shaoyu was selected as the new sword master by Lin Qingxuan.
Similarly, she also had a grudge with Gui Qi here and there, and was chased by Luofengshan during her long journey. In the end, she sent a flying sword to Ximen Wuhen, and led the people from Mutian City to kill Luo Fengshan from Luofengshan. Chashan moved to Thousand Demons Sect.
The second time I stepped into this house, I had an indescribable feeling in my heart.
Walking all the way, the house is still so fresh and refined.
After passing through a bamboo forest, Lin Yanli came to an attic. Standing on the corridor, he could vaguely smell a faint sweet smell.
It smells so good!
Lin Yanli's eyes lit up and she quickly walked up the attic stairs to the courtyard on the second floor of the attic.
In the courtyard, there is a round table with various snacks, drinks, cakes, and some flowers and fruits placed on the table.
And in the dark left corner, stood a man with a bronze mask on his face, whose appearance could not be seen clearly.
The most important thing is that the spiritual energy in this person fluctuates in the four realms. He is a Yuanying stage monk.
When the female swordsman saw the man, she went forward and cupped her hands. When she saw the man nodded in return, a wisp of red spread on her cheeks.
Obviously, she has a crush on this Nascent Soul Stage monk.
Lin Yanli's gaze didn't stay on the man for too long. He followed the sweet smell lingering on the tip of his nose and moved around the table several times before finally focusing on a bowl of white soup.
The milky-white soup looks crystal clear in the emerald-colored soup plate, like nectar, exuding bursts of fragrance.
Lin Yanli, who has a keen sense of smell, felt so comfortable all over that she couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
"This unique sweetness must come from Baihua Cave!"
Lin Yanli vowed to do so.
"Be careful if you eat too much sweetness, you won't be able to bear the bitterness."
Li Zhujiu was indifferent to the sweetness, so he found a seat and sat down, crossing his legs like an old man.
Li Shang looked a little reserved, lying on the railing and looking at the bamboo forest.
Soon, two figures attracted Li Shang's attention. He lowered his voice and said to Lin Yanli, "Here they come."
Sure enough, less than ten breaths after Li Chang said that, Zhao Dan's figure appeared at the corner of the attic. Following him was the Lord Shangzhu Guo whom he had seen in the court today.
The two figures were one behind the other, both wearing plain clothes.
Lin Yanli was the first to cup his fists and cup his hands. Li Zhujiu put away his careless look and stood next to Li Shang, bending slightly along with Lin Yanli.
"Today is a private banquet. There is no etiquette. We treat each other as friends."
Zhao Dan smiled.
The master has arrived, and there are more maids in the courtyard. They carry trays and bring delicacies to the table.
Li Zhujiu's eyes were bright, and his eyes rested on a plate of crabs.
Mutian City is close to the wilderness, there is no sea around, and the products from the sea are relatively rare.
I followed Lin Yanli through the mountains and rivers and saw many river crabs, but this was the first time I saw one as big as an adult's head.
Zhao Dan pointed at the crabs on the table and said with a smile: "Since Qian Mo Sect's Yunzhan Floating Bridge was opened to the world, the circulation of specialties from the north and south has become much more convenient, and the people of Jinling can also enjoy the delicious food of the fishermen on the seaside."
Lin Yanli looked at the crab and sighed softly: "This is not a blessing. It will take half a month to send it from the sea to Jinling, even from the Yunzhan Floating Bridge."
"It took half a month to freeze it with ice. The dead crabs that have been frozen for more than ten days will definitely not taste as good as live crabs. Have you ever thought that one day you can see live crabs on the beach in Jinling City?"
Zhao Dan shook his head and said: "I haven't thought about it, and I don't dare to think about it."
In the past, transportation was all by horse-drawn carriage, and it would take several months to travel from Jinling to Kuizhou in the south.
Now Qianmo Sect has opened the Shifang Mountains and set up the Yunzhan Floating Bridge. From Jinling to Kuizhou, there is no need to detour to Danzhou. Riding a fast horse to pass the Yunzhan Floating Bridge will only take ten days to reach Kuizhou, and it will only take a horse-drawn carriage to pass through it.
Half a month.
If you want to shorten the time, only the immortal family can do it.
Lin Yanli raised his chopsticks, put a big crab in front of Li Zhujiu, and said with great interest: "If I were to say that there is one thing that can greatly shorten the travel time between north and south, the time from Jinling to Kuizhou can be shortened by half.
Schedule, Zhao Dan, are you interested?"
Zhao Dan was startled for a moment, his breathing became rapid, and he asked anxiously: "Lin Xianjia, has Qian Mo Sect developed another divine item to benefit the people?"
Lin Yanli smiled knowingly, placed two chopsticks on the table, separated them a little distance, then took out a wooden sculpture from his sleeve and placed it in the middle of the two chopsticks.
"This thing is called a train. Please allow me to introduce it to you slowly..."
After Lin Yanli finished explaining the principles and usage of trains, Zhao Dan stared at her with burning eyes and said excitedly: "If Rouge Country had more railway tracks like this and more trains, the north and south could interact with each other, and the people could communicate with each other from east to west.
, Rouge Country should be the most powerful country in a while!"
Lin Yanli saw how excited Zhao Dan was and immediately poured a bowl of cold water on his face.
"Zhao Dan, the cost of building railway tracks is not small. Thousand Demons Sect can help build railway tracks and trains, but the required materials and expenses still need to be paid by the court."
"Ah, won't Thousand Demons Sect help me with this money?"
"Thousand Demons Sect is not a charity. Opening the Yunzhan Floating Bridge is the most benevolent thing. Zhao Dan, don't expect too much."
Shangzhuguo also had a headache when he saw Lin Yanli mouthing Zhao Dan.
Although today's dinner is a private banquet, and we say that we are treating each other as friends, so there is no need to be rigid about etiquette, but at least we should say "Your Majesty"!
Zhao Dan lay on the chair and thought for a long time. Although the Rouge Kingdom's treasury was sufficient now, the spiritual stones and silver inside were prepared to defend against the vicious beasts in the future. It seemed that the rail train could only be buried deep in his heart for the time being.
"I understand. We can only discuss this matter after the murderer's disaster has passed."
Lin Yanli nodded and responded: "If you have thought about it, please contact Elder Ouyang of our sect."
"Um."
Zhao Dan nodded, his eyes deepened, and he turned his head to look at Shang Zhuguo beside him.
Shang Zhuguo immediately stood up in understanding, walked to Li Shang, cupped his fists and saluted.
"Martial artist Zhao Xuanyi, after meeting my little friend today, I feel that my hands and feet are unbearable. Do you dare to challenge me?"
