The alley in front of her was extremely narrow, and she could touch both sides of the wall just by spreading her arms.
The ground beneath our feet was extremely dirty and completely different from the bright and prosperous Shangjing City we had seen in the past.
Lin Chu only pondered for a moment before diving in. After riding his horse for a few steps, he was blocked by a high wall.
She reined in her horse and stopped, her eyebrows tightening even more.
The alley in front of me is not only narrow and surprisingly short, it is not suitable for riding a horse.
Although she had not seen Baili Yunsheng for the time being, the sound of enemy horses' hooves was clearly not far away.
Lin Chu glanced at the three low walls around him, his eyes gradually filled with anxiety.
There is no way forward and there are pursuers behind. It is impossible to return the same way.
Tonight, will we have to face a bloody battle before entering the palace?
She turned the horse's head and placed the dagger close to her body. Once again, she pulled out the silver wire wrapped around her waist. This time, after twisting it several times, it turned into a thin javelin.
This is the only way to enjoy killing people!
Squeak!
There was a soft sound in my ears, and a small door opened on the wall on the street.
A figure was hidden in a large cloak, waving to her: "Come here."
Lin Chu squinted his eyes, surprised by what happened suddenly.
The color of the small door beside me was the same as the wall. It was dark at this moment, and there were no lights in the alley. If someone hadn't pushed it open from the inside, no one would have imagined that there was a different cave here.
"Hurry up." The man seemed very impatient: "I'm busy."
Lin Chu disassembled the javelin in his hand and hid it back in his belt, got off his horse and walked towards the man, cupping his fists and saluting: "Thank you."
"Stop talking nonsense and leave quickly."
The man opened the door without saying a word and led her through the house, down the alley, and onto another alley.
Lin Chu followed closely, but gradually became horrified.
The streets here are criss-crossed and chaotic at first sight. But upon closer inspection, you will be surprised to find that every brick and tile has hidden mysteries.
This place seems to be arranged in a certain formation. If you are not led by someone you know well, it will be difficult to get out if you accidentally enter it.
Its surface is dirty, but it is actually just an illusion that confuses people. Because it is dirty, people will not pay too much attention to it, and naturally they will not see the secrets inside.
This is...where?
The man walked very fast, and in the blink of an eye he brought her to a house and stopped: "Go in."
Lin Chu looked around and found that this street seemed different from other places.
The doorways of every house in front of me were hung with peach-pink tissue paper lanterns, and even the doorways were painted peach-pink.
In the night, all the candles in the lanterns were lit, revealing a faint pink halo, which cast onto the ground to form a hazy sea of pink light.
Such a color makes people look at it, and inexplicably feel that there seems to be a bit more lingering and ambiguity in the middle of the night.
here it is……
Lin Chu's heart moved, and he suddenly remembered the reason for this.
There is a poor alley in the west city of Shangjing City. The people living there are the poorest people in the city. They are engaged in the dirtiest, most tiring and most looked down upon work.
That place can be called the slum of the entire Shangjing.
No wonder she is very unfamiliar with this place, because the nobles in the capital never come and go.
There is a Taoxiang Street in Hanmen Alley, which is inhabited by actors and prostitutes who were driven out of flower houses because of their old age, sex, or mutilated limbs. When they were desperate, they settled in Taoxiang Street and continued their business of selling their flesh and blood.
Of course, they did not have the opportunity to make friends with the noble people who came to Beijing.
The people they receive are all poor lower-class people in the poor alleys. The fees are not high and they just make ends meet.
It is said that the peach blossom lanterns in Peach Blossom Street have a warm and intoxicating fragrance.
