After exiting the city gate, you will reach the official road.
The so-called "official road" is a road that is often walked by people and connects various prefectures. Because people often walk on it, the road is smooth. Although it is not paved with bluestone, it is enough for three or four carriages to travel parallel, and it is extremely wide.
.
Luo Yi took the rented carriage and walked directly along the mainland with the coachman "Guo San"...
"Guo San, have you been to [Leyang City] before?"
Luo Yi sat in the swaying carriage, opened the golden curtain, looked at the surrounding mountains, and casually chatted with the carriage in front of him.
The groom, Guo San, did not look back. He waved his whip and replied with a casual smile: "I've been there, and quite a few times. Basically, I go there five or six times a year."
"Then how long does it take to get to [Leyang City] from here?"
"The riding time will be shorter, but it will be more difficult for people. About six or seven days will be enough. If we travel by car, it can be as short as ten days or as long as about half a month."
Guo San was obviously very familiar with it. He almost didn't think much about it and just replied with a smile.
"oh."
Luo Yi raised his eyebrows.
"Just think of it as half a month. After arriving at [Leyang Capital], we will change to the water route and go directly to 'Qiaozhou Mansion'. Then we will change to the land route and go straight to [Luohuang Capital]. Counting...four or five
One month should be enough."
Luo Yi was secretly calculating in his heart.
"This journey is not smooth either. From time to time there are some bandits who rob the road. If you are lucky, you will not encounter them. If you are not lucky, you will encounter them. A lot of time will be wasted."
Guo San continued talking to himself. But judging from his tone, he didn't seem to take the bandits around him seriously.
"Oh?...If you encounter bandits, can you handle it?"
Hearing this, Luo Yi asked curiously.
"Haha... They are said to be bandits, but in fact they are just a bunch of people. After all, this is not a golden business road, and there are not many real strong people. Most of these bandits are ordinary people who have wandered here from other places.
It's just because I don't have the capital to live in the city that I have no choice but to become a bandit. The main thing is to rob some ordinary traders or settle down to make a living. Although it will take some effort and trouble, it's nothing. I
I have been walking this road for many years, and I have not encountered it once or twice. Basically, except for a waste of time, there will be no problems. "
Guo San said with a smile.
When Luo Yi heard this, he raised his eyebrows and then nodded.
Indeed, although 'Jianning Mansion' is connected in all directions, it can be considered a prosperous mansion. But after all, Dahua is a seaside city, and the most important commercial channels are still in the water and sea. On land, there are few truly powerful ones.
What kind of bandit are you doing?
After all, Guo San is also a warrior in the middle of the sixth level. Although he is not a master, he can still deal with ordinary people who come in trouble and turn into bandits.
"I see, then it's my turn to help you."
"Haha, young master, you are serious."
Luo Yi nodded and lowered the curtain.
After lowering the curtain, his smile subsided, then he lowered his head, touched his arms for a moment, and took out two ancient books.
Then, he put one of them into his arms, and held the other one in his hand.
"Half a month's journey can't be wasted. Although I can't practice on this carriage, I will start to study this [General Guide to Alchemy]...'The Art of Alchemy'. When I enter the [Luo Jian Sect], I'm afraid
It’s of great use…”
Luo Yi was thinking in his mind, but he had already begun to make plans for himself after entering the [Luo Jian Sect].
Even though he had no reason to dream as a guarantee, he could naturally enter the gate of [Luo Jian Sect], but after that, he still had to rely on his own strength to gain a foothold in the sect. Only when he shows his worth can he be taken seriously by the sect.
.And the more attention the sect pays attention to, the more benefits he can get.
And this 'alchemy technique' is obviously a good opportunity.
If he becomes an 'Alchemist' of a high level, then his status in the [Luo Jian Sect] will probably rise...
Thinking of this, Luo Yi stopped thinking about anything else, opened the book in his hand, and began to study it carefully.
Time, under such circumstances, passed quietly.
Enough dry food was prepared on the carriage, enough for Luo Yi and Na Guo San to eat for a month. They drove during the day, and when night fell, they just found a place to stop and rest. Such alternating, the speed is not bad.
slow.
Along this road, you can meet some people from time to time. Either a caravan with more than a hundred people, or horses traveling with more than ten people... But the combination of two people like Luo Yi and a luxurious carriage and horse,
But I didn't see it.
Luo Yi knew that this was because in this troubled world, if he did not have absolute confidence and strength, he would not dare to be alone.
And the bandit Guo Sankou mentioned was also encountered one noon after traveling for seven days.
However, as Guo San said, these people are just a bunch of rabble. Luo Yi sat in the car and with a sweep of his consciousness, he could easily discover that among these 'bandits', the strongest one was no more than a mob.
He was just a late third-grade warrior. There were about forty or fifty bandits, but their low strength was destined to not be able to take down Luo Yi, an obvious 'fat sheep'. After Guo San easily repelled five or six people,
These bandits probably also knew that they had encountered a hard idea, so they did not dare to stay too long and dispersed.
At this time, Luo Yi and his wife also entered another mansion, 'Anfeng Mansion'.
‘Anfengfu’ is the last prefecture in Nanxing Province after ‘Tiandufu’ and ‘Jianningfu’.
There are many mountains and rivers in the territory of 'Anfeng Mansion'. Along the way, there are mountains everywhere, barren mountains and forests, and even the official roads seem a bit more desolate.
"Sir, should we take another route and go to Fenghua City in Anfeng Mansion, or should we go directly to Leyang City?"
Guo San stopped the carriage at a fork in the road and asked Luo Yi in the carriage behind him.
Luo Yi, who was studying the [General Guide to Alchemy], was interrupted, and then said without hesitation: "Go directly to [Leyang City]."
"yes."
Guo San didn't waste any time. He whipped up his horse whip, chose a path, and walked away.
Luo Yi also lowered his head and continued to study...
"I didn't expect that the art of alchemy would be so interesting..."
Luo Yi looked at it seriously, with a bit of interest on his lips...
…
[Leyang Capital] is the only capital city in the prosperous territory of Nanping.
It is huge, majestic and prosperous, and is one of the best in the country of China.
It is said that in terms of grandeur and grandeur, this [Leyang Capital] is not much worse than [Luohuang Capital]. It is the second largest city in Great China.
The entire city covers an area of more than 10,000 square kilometers, which is huge. In the city, roads extend in all directions and houses are densely packed. According to statistics, its total population has exceeded three million.
Just talking about population...the urban population of 'Ningjian City' and 'Tiandu Mansion' is only more than 100,000. However, the total population of [Leyang City] is actually dozens of times that number!... You can imagine how huge it is.
degree.
"Sir, [Leyang City] has arrived."
At noon that day, the sun was shining brightly. Amidst the crowds of people, a carriage stopped at the tall and grand gate. The driver turned his head and shouted into the carriage.
The golden curtain opened, and Luo Yi's handsome face was revealed. Then, his eyes slightly raised and swept forward.
The height of this tall city gate alone is probably more than thirty or forty feet! The city gate is bustling with people coming and going!
"What a magnificent city, it deserves to be one of the three capitals of Great China!"
Luo Yi's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but praise.
"Haha, you don't know something." Guo San heard Luo Yi's praise, chuckled, and introduced: "This [Leyang City] is bordered by [Dabu Province] to the east and [Pinghu Province] to the west.
, to the south is [Southern Parallel Province], three of the four major provinces in the country are bordered by it. It is also separated from [Wanjiang Province] where the imperial capital is located by only a not too long strait.
It is said that it is the most important link in Dahua. It is called the "Heart of Dahua". It is understandable that it is more prosperous. I also heard that the sect of [Tuoyun Sect] is right here.
Somewhere deep in the mountains and swamps on the edge of [Leyang City]..."
"Oh? The sect residence of [Tuoyun Sect] is right here?"
Luo Yi was not clear about this news and was slightly surprised. His eyes flickered a few times quickly.
But then he smiled and said: "Okay, let's go in first and talk about it."
"yes."
Guo San smiled, didn't talk nonsense, and just drove the carriage into the city...
…
The city is full of people, with wide streets and tall houses.
If we must find a word that can describe this city, there is only one word... atmosphere!
The atmosphere is majestic and shocking.
Luo Yi looked up at the surrounding scenery with great interest at this time, feeling secretly in his heart.
"Although this [Leyang City] is also extremely important, compared to the [Luohuang City] as the imperial capital, I'm afraid it's a little inferior. However, this [Leyang City] alone is already so majestic.
…Then [Luo Huangdu], what kind of scenery should it be like?”
Thinking of this, Roy shook his head, he could no longer imagine it.
Luo Yi watched with interest, but Guo San seemed to be very familiar with all this, and it didn't shock him at all.
Under his control, the carriage rushed east and west, and not long after, it had arrived at a rather luxuriously decorated restaurant.
"Sir, will you rest here today? ... This restaurant is very nice. Every time I come here, I always stay here."
Guo San smiled and said to Luo Yi.
"good."
Luo Yi glanced at the restaurant casually and nodded without any objection.
