However, before it could merge into the river, it was completely sucked away by the sand and gravel on both sides of the river, leaving this lonely city alone on the barren and barren sand.
Xiutong City is one of the dozens of cities along the thousands-mile front line between Dagan and Mengjue. It is also somewhat famous in Beifu, and soldiers, civilians, and bandits can use the city to stay.
People here compete with heaven and other people, competing for life and even money. However, if the competition is fierce, there must be a place to stop, rest, and take a few breaths.
Therefore, Xiu Tong City is a mixed bag, with all kinds of people. It is common for officials and gangsters to sit at the same tea table. It is even more common for them to draw swords against each other when they have a disagreement or their whereabouts are exposed. It is common for several people to be killed or injured every day. If
No one died, which is a bit weird.
This place lacks everything, but the most indispensable thing is evil people.
Xiu Tong City is not big, and it is not on the same level as Jian Bei City. Even Huifeng Mansion is not as big, and it is probably slightly bigger than Lima Pass.
The wall of Xiu Tong City is not high, about three feet high. It is made of sand and stone. It has been eroded by countless winds and sands, giving it a hint of decay and decay.
The city is also divided into southeast and northwest, but it is not like the south and north of the big city of Ganzhou Prefecture, which is a bit crooked.
At a glance from the city wall, this city only gives people a monotonous gray and yellow color. The houses are of different heights and thicknesses. Some are good and some are bad. They are very different, a little messy, and there is a sense of crowding. It can be called
There are row upon row of them above.
Most of the houses in Xiutong City are made of sand and stone, with very little wood. Ordinary wood is indeed difficult to withstand the erosion of Beifu wind and sand for several years.
Of course there are exceptions. There is a gorgeous building in the middle of Xiu Tong City. It is three stories high and more than ten feet in diameter. It is half stone and half wood. It is extremely rare in Xiu Tong City.
This pavilion is magnificently decorated, and stands a bit abruptly in Xiu Tong City. At first sight, it is a bit confusing. I wonder how there is such an unusual building in such a city. Every time I look at this pavilion,
Maybe we dare to guess that the word Xiu in Xiu Tongcheng comes from this.
The name of this building is also very strange. It's called Shaolai Building. It's weird and a bit strange, making people feel weird and weird when they see it.
These are not all, the most bizarre thing is the rule of not coming to the building at all.
Speaking of rules, although Xiu Tongcheng is chaotic, over time, rules will develop in places where no one cares.
The rules in Xiu Tongcheng are different from those in Dagan, and are said to be very different from those in Mengjue, but there is no doubt that if someone has a strong fist here, then most of the rules will be directed towards that person.
Shaolailou does all kinds of business, including those who negotiate business, receive guests, sell medicine, and steal incense and jade. If you want to get it, you can probably find it in Shaolailou. It's like Xiu Tongcheng is Da Gan.
Just like the epitome of life and death between Meng Jue, this Shaolai Building is the epitome of Xiu Tong City, a mixture of fish and dragons.
Naturally, not everyone can enter the Shaolai Building.
There is a tavern a few streets away from Shaolai Building. The tavern is very shabby. Dozens of wine jars are piled at the door. You can smell a pungent smell of wine from a distance. No one has entered yet.
The smell of alcohol has already stuck to it, stimulating the fierceness of the prodigal ranger in Mobei beyond the Great Wall.
At this time, the tavern was filled with half of the individual guests. There were many people and a lot of drinks, but it was very quiet. It seemed that the drinkers in the tavern were deliberately suppressing the atmosphere, lowering their heads and whispering something.
"Did you hear that a fat sheep came on the road?"
"Fat sheep? Where did the fat sheep come from?" The people on the side became interested. Seeing the mystery of what their companion said, they hurriedly lowered their voices and asked.
"Hehe, if you tell me this, it will scare you so much that you won't be able to sleep."
"Stop being so pretentious and tell me quickly, what's going on?"
"Do you know what the people from the Dagan court brought when Dagan and Mengjue discussed opening Shangfu?"
"What else can I have? Isn't it just some gold and silver treasures, and at most a few beauties, what else can I have?" The person who asked the question said nonchalantly. He thought there was some big secret, but it turned out to be just this world.
Old stories that have been spread throughout the Word.
"You don't know this. Of course there are gold and silver treasures, but think about it, Meng Jue is a majestic hero in Caohai. How can he be so jealous of Da Gan's treasure? If it is rare, he will send troops to snatch it away."
"Hey, so what else is there to treasure?"
"This news did not come from Caohai, but from Yimachuan. This time, in addition to some belongings brought by the envoy, the Dagan court also had a treasure. To tell the truth,
But it is a thousand times more valuable than these gold and silver treasures."
The people at the table all took a deep breath. Everyone in Xiu Tong City knew that the Dagan mission was determined to bring no less belongings this time. It was a figure that they would never dare to think of. Unexpectedly, there was a treasure.
It is a thousand times better than these treasures, but it is a bit unbelievable even though I am jealous.
Sure enough, I heard someone say: "Impossible. Is there any treasure that can be worth this price? Could it be that she is the daughter of Emperor Dagan, or if not, she is the empress of some palace? Maybe this old thing is useless and volunteered to come."
Try Caohai Hanzi’s stuff.”
As soon as these words came out, several people laughed dirtyly. In this place, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. Even if you scold Emperor Wanlong in the street, at most you will be looked at as an idiot and no one will care.
"The relationship is great. If you sleep with Princess Dagan, you will be the consort." Another person teased.
"Hey, the princess smells like farts, but those ladies in the palace smell like shit. If I can sleep with one of them, it's worth dying for." The rude man who just spoke said with a lewd laugh.
The northern Xinjiang man who spoke earlier had a somewhat uneasy expression on his face. He talked about women in a few words and snorted coldly: "Bald wolf, you think about women all the time. One day you will die on the belly of women.
Let me tell you, if you can get this treasure, let alone one princess, there will be ten princesses in exchange for it."
"Boss Cui, please stop tempting the brothers. Tell me, what treasure is so valuable?" A table of people came over.
Boss Cui glanced around and saw that no one in the tavern was paying attention to his table, so he said cautiously: "Brothers, have you ever heard of the Sky-Mending Tortoise Shell?"
The man called Bald Wolf was confused. He opened his mouth and was about to shout: "Bu Tian..." Before he could finish his words, a lean warrior next to him covered his mouth. He was about to know what was on his lips.
I typed a few words back.
The bald wolf continued to curse loudly, but several people sitting there looked as if they had seen a ghost in horror, their eyes were as wide as cowbells, and they could not speak. They could only hear the hissing of cold air and the sound of swallowing saliva.
