Chapter 454 Sudden Visitor
"In Tianyuan City, all transactions are replaced by bronze coins. I heard that this is the currency created and promoted by the Shennong clan. It is one of the important reasons for Tianyuan City to maintain the holy city." Luo Ji took out two bronze coins from her arms. , handed it to Jiang Wen.
Jiang Wen looked at the copper coin lying in the palm of his hand. On it were written the four words Divine Power Tianbao. This thing could buy anything in Tianyuan City. Goods shipped from all over the world are gathered in Tianyuan City. There is nothing you can't imagine, and there is nothing that Tianyuan City cannot sell.
This currency was invented by Jiang Wen. He originally wanted to facilitate transactions in Tianyuan City, so he came up with the idea of promoting copper coins for transactions. Jiang Wenji originally supported his idea and included this magical treasure into a necessary transaction in Tianyuan City. This is also the reason why Tianyuan City later became the largest city in Taicang, surpassing the capital of Taicang.
Holding two copper coins in their hands, Jiang Wen and Luo Ji walked on the outer streets of Tianyuan City. Tianyuan City at this moment is several times larger than when he was there, and the outer city has expanded beyond the original wilderness.
The buildings in the street market are chaotic, and buildings of various styles are crowded together. Various signs were hung at the door, and Jiang Wen could recognize the words written on them.
"Where are you going now?" Jiang Wen asked.
"I want to go to the Holy King first and offer the sacred objects of the Luo people." Luo Ji said.
Jiang Wen nodded and walked towards the inner city with Luo Ji. From the outer city to the inner city, several hours had passed without realizing it. The houses in front of us are becoming more and more exquisite and elegant.
There are many red and green palaces, and all kinds of monsters are walking on the wide streets. People carrying goods came and went in a hurry, all busy with their own affairs.
Her long, silky black hair was spread behind her, and her upper body was wrapped in a reddish-brown short coat, which set off her well-proportioned and slender body. Wear a cream-colored shirt underneath, creating a pleasing warm color combination.
Even her posture of lowering her head and writing seriously is full of the wonderful atmosphere of a girl, making people couldn't help but praise what a little beauty she is.
……
The uneven stone road exudes luster under the light, the remnants of yesterday's rain collected in the cracks of the stone. Accompanied by the barking of an unknown dog, a row of guards wearing armor strode forward.
"In this case, let's find a place to stay first." Jiang Wen suggested that he also wanted to meet Jiang Wenji. But now it seems that we won’t see it for the time being, so we can only wait.
The avenue in the inner city leads directly to the royal city of Tianyuan City, and there are statues on both sides of the road. Jiang Wen heard from Luo Ji that as long as he was a hero in Tianyuan City, there would be a stone statue standing on this Shennong Avenue.
In this giant city with a reputation as a commercial capital, the night market under the shady curtain is even more lively. The prosperous Lower City is like a ravine lit by torches, with streets echoing each other. Whether they are travelers from south to north or tribal merchants who take ships to transport goods to Tianyuan City. They can all find their own warmth in this city where water and land meet and transportation is developed.
Luo Ji knew that the outcome was determined and could only sigh. He put away the Luo people's tokens and turned around to leave the royal city.
The night in Tianyuan City is a mixture of liveliness and silence.
Before sunset, the two of them arrived at the royal city. Luo Ji handed the Luo people's token to the royal city guards. The guard took one look and said coldly to Luo Ji: "The Holy King has not seen anyone else these days, just wait."
The statue of the hero accompanied the two of them as they walked forward. Even Jiang Wen was a little tired from walking on the long journey. He didn't expect that Tianyuan City would become so big that it might become an independent country.
"The Holy King will not see anyone outside for now." The guard said again.
The slender and white neck was adorned with finely crafted red gems, and the crystal lips seemed to be covered with a layer of honey, which looked particularly attractive under the oil lamp.
After passing through the brightly lit night market and crossing a white arch bridge, we arrived at a peaceful area. Compared with the prosperity of the commercial place, this place seems quiet and comfortable.
It could be seen from their sight that the goal of this group of guards was a lit inn not far away.
"We can't see the Holy King for the time being." Luo Ji said regretfully. "Maybe we have to stay here for a few more days."
"Shennong Avenue?" Jiang Wen looked silently at the wide road paved with stone slabs under his feet. He never expected that this road could have such a name. It sounds a bit awkward. Why is it called Shennong Avenue?
In a room of the Inn, a pretty girl was dipping in ink and writing lines of text on paper.
"But the Luo people were massacred..." Luo Ji wanted to say something more, but she saw the guard staring at her indifferently.
The jubilant singing, the charming screams, and the jingling of coins falling into bags are all intoxicating and dreaming for mortals in this world.
"Okay." Luo Ji agreed, and the two of them walked towards the trading place in the inner city.
[I once wondered why Shennong was called a saint by the world...]
[It wasn’t until later that I understood that their wanton spreading of rumors about that saint was their consensus. They feared and feared the Holy One...]
[He once said that the people are like water and the king is like a boat...]
The girl's pen tip suddenly stopped, and the ink slowly soaked into the paper, leaving a small stain in the blank space. Then the pen was put aside by its user, lying quietly among the thick pages of the book.
"Hey!" The girl rubbed her sore wrist, raised her round and angled chin and looked out the window. Those auburn eyes were full of comfort and relaxation, and there was always a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Tianyuan City is still so lively at night." She said to herself, her clear voice carrying a hint of gender ambiguity. Knowledgeable people will know at first glance that she is still a little girl who is in the stage of changing her voice.
"I haven't been here for a long time, and I don't know how many days I can stay this time. Wait for me tomorrow..."
She held her chin and looked out the window to plan, but suddenly she heard loud noises coming from downstairs of the Inn. The sound of boots hitting the floor was accompanied by scolding, causing the girl's expression to change.
"This is impossible. All the guests staying at our inn have guarantee certificates from various tribes. How can there be bandits and fugitives?" came the rich voice of the fat owner of the inn, which was a bit anxious and uneasy. "Even the guards who maintain law and order cannot enter private places at will. This is the golden rule of Tianyuan City!"
"We have a wanted warrant. We know best whether there are fugitives."
"Then you can't disturb my guests casually. This will ruin the reputation of my business for many years! Do you know what it means to run a post hotel in Tianyuan City?!"
"It means shielding and condoning."
"You are slandering! I am going to report you in the royal city!!"
"Please, my number is 00248. If you go to report me in the royal city, remember not to report the wrong number. But now, please don't stop our search."
After a fierce quarrel, the downstairs of the Inn became quiet. The thick soles of the guards stepped on the wooden boards of the stairs, making a crunching sound.
At this moment, the girl raised her ears and pressed her ears against the door, with an uneasy look on her face. She heard the guards knocking on door after door, hopping around like a rabbit.
"What to do, what to do! Are we going to be discovered?" Walking back and forth with her legs, she looked around to see if there was a place to hide.
It's just that the room is small. Apart from a bed, there are only cabinets for clothes and a desk by the window. Even with her small stature, she couldn't find a place to hide.
"No, are you going to get caught?" Covering her head, she looked around, and finally focused on the window in front of the table.
"It can only be the!"
She was thinking in her head, and her movements were one step faster than her head.
He hurriedly put away the draft on the table, stuffed it into his chest, and then crept up onto the desk.
"So high!" Looking at the height of more than ten meters above the ground, the girl timidly patted her chest. She heard the sound coming closer and closer outside the door, puffed her cheeks, and climbed down the window resolutely.
Fortunately, the walls of the Inn were relatively easy to climb. She grabbed the bottom of the small window sill with both hands and hung her body in mid-air.
"This is my first time doing something like this. If my mother knows..." the girl showed her neat white teeth and smiled optimistically. She heard the sound of the door slamming in the room, and several guards poured into it.
"The lights in the room are still on."
"nobody."
"It seems it should be this room. Let's take a closer look to see if there are any traces..." the guard leader who had talked to the boss before said calmly.
The girl's face turned a little ugly when she heard this. She could feel that someone was about to move the desk to come to the window sill, and was about to peek under the window sill to take a look.
Feeling that she was in danger, the girl lowered her head and looked around for any way to escape. When she saw an open window in the lower left corner, she was a little overjoyed.
Without having time to think about what kind of people lived inside, the girl's light body swayed in the air and jumped in along the pipe beside the window sill. Then he lay prone under the window, listening to the sound of disappointment coming from above his head.
"No one, Captain."
"It seems that the information we got is wrong again, and we don't know how long she can hide." The guard's conversation gradually faded away.
After feeling the guards leave, the girl breathed a sigh of relief. He stretched out his hand to soothe his chest, letting his violently beating heart gradually calm down. At this moment, a gentle male voice came from not far away from her.
"Little girl, it's not polite to disturb other people's rest in the middle of the night."
The girl was startled at first, and reflexively took out a short blade from her sleeve to protect it in front of her. He turned his head to look at the speaker and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his appearance.
Fortunately, he doesn't look like a big villain, so he doesn't look very bad.
The young man who spoke out still had a curious look on his face. His facial features are sharp and angular, and his eyes are piercing.
If you go to Xiyuan Theater to participate in a performance, you can probably get a female role easily. If he performed better, he would even make all the ladies in Tianyuan City obsessed with him. The girl can guarantee with her own personality that she has seen similar scenes.
If this man is handsome, his eyes must be the most dazzling jewels among them.
The girl had never seen such bright eyes on anyone else.
Just like the blazing sun at noon, full of endless light.
This reminded her of a sentence she once read - people with ideals are always as calm as a deep pool.
Maybe he is also such a person? The girl raised a question mark in her mind, stood up and bowed apologetically to the young man: "I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry... I want to come in and hide for a while..."
Her hands had nowhere to rest, and her index finger stretched out and dangled around like a cat that had done something bad.
Even her childish face looked more and more innocent under the oil lamp, as if she was about to cry at any time.
"Those people?" the young man laughed.
"Yeah." The girl nodded quickly and responded with a hum. She looked around the room habitually, trying to find some personal traces that would help her understand what kind of person the young man in front of her was.
She saw a thick book on the table. She could not read the words clearly, but she knew what kind of book it was.
After the two fell into a slight silence, the girl asked: "Do you also like to read the Herbal Classics written by Shennong?"
"Yes, I quite like what is written in this book." The young man heard the girl's words and gave her a meaningful look. "That group of people have already checked this room, don't worry."
"Huh, that's good, thank you." The girl showed a relaxed smile and thanked the young man.
"My name is Jiang Rong. Thank you for your help today."
"Jiang Wen." The young man replied simply. He picked up the book and waved it in front of the girl's eyes. "What do you think of the writing in this medicinal book?"
"It is a holy book respected by pharmacists. I think it is very meaningful." The girl hesitated and said.
"Then how did you see the Shennong family?" Jiang Wen looked at the girl and asked again.
"Although I have never met Shennong, I think he must be a more powerful person than the Holy King." The girl hesitated for a while and then said firmly.
