Chapter 315 Gathering at Tianxiang Tower (asking for monthly tickets)
When Chen Yuan decided to set off to the Daofusi to make arrangements,
Eight thousand miles away, Xiongzhou is shrouded in fog, and a majestic pass is situated between the towering mountains.
There is a wonderful scene between heaven and earth. To the north of the pass, the mountains are green and lush, with birds singing and insects chirping, which is very lively. To the south of the pass, the sky and the earth are covered with heavy snow, the mountains are covered with white, and the cold wind is bleak. It can be said that there are no birds flying in the mountains and no people on the paths.
This pass is Tianxiong Pass, which connects to Lianzhou in the north, the Western Regions across the Sea of Death in the northwest, and the Central Plains in the east. It is a fortress connecting Shu to the outside world.
The entire Tianxiong Pass is now shrouded in snow and wind, but despite the ice and snow, the city is extremely bustling and prosperous.
Just like Jinguan City, this city has seen a large influx of outsiders in recent days.
There were people riding on exotic beasts, looking majestic and awe-inspiring, roaring to the heavens and the earth, and at first glance they were the disciples of major sects. There were also ruffians who rode their horses day and night into the snow and wind. Soon, this fortress became a mixed bag, and the water became much deeper.
The more people there are, the more trouble there is. In the city, shocking fights break out from time to time, with heroes from all walks of life competing with each other for attention. There are many examples of people fighting over a disagreement, making the local Sky Patrol almost out of control.
Why does this happen?
Because great fortune is coming to Shu!
This rumor attracted people from all walks of life to rush into the pass and enter this outpost in Shu. It then spread like wildfire in the city and almost everyone knew about it.
But in the past two days, there have been fewer fights in the city, because it was heard that the court had sent a new demon-suppressing envoy to Shu!
Some people saw a large group of soldiers from the Zhongyuan Road, heading towards Tianxiong Pass, and they would arrive soon.
And one of their vanguard troops has arrived at Tianxiong Pass and taken control of the city!
In the afternoon, in the south city of Tianxiong Pass, there stood a hundred-meter-high building with red walls, green tiles, flying eaves and pavilions. Bells were hung on the eaves, giving it an ancient charm. The dome on the top added a bit of exotic flavor.
Outside, snow was blowing in the cold wind, and the chill was biting; inside the building, the air was filled with aromas and warm as spring, with the sounds of stringed instruments and the clatter of glasses.
Outside the door, a group of soldiers on horses came galloping, causing chaos at the bustling entrance and attracting angry glares.
"you."
A young man in fancy clothes was frightened by his horse and almost slipped. He glared and opened his mouth, wanting to curse.
However, he saw that his arm was quickly grabbed by the person he was traveling with, and he quickly winked at him.
The young man looked towards the group of people and saw a group of people in green armor riding on tall horses, with a line of red armor in the front.
The red-armored figure sat on it, looking down from above, with an arrogant look in his eyes. He glanced at the young man who was about to speak. His cold gaze frightened the young man in gorgeous clothes so much that his body trembled. His throat could not help but roll and he swallowed the words in it. Then he left in a panic. In his haste, he slipped and fell, but he could not care less and just walked away in embarrassment.
When the people around saw these armored soldiers, they showed suspicious looks. It seemed that these armored soldiers were not the palace soldiers of Tianxiong Pass, and their armor was of a different style.
The armor of the soldiers of the Sky Patrol was not so sophisticated, and was different in some places. However, the cloud scale patterns on the armor of these soldiers were exquisite and dense, smooth and shiny, and sparkling with dazzling light, obviously carefully made by craftsmen.
Then, someone nearby whispered something, and some people suddenly realized what was going on.
These are the troops that entered Tianxiong Pass two days ago!
Rumor has it that it was a vanguard army sent by the new Demon Suppressor, and it was said that these troops were transferred from the Imperial Capital.
For a moment his gaze turned into awe.
Dijing, a very distant word. Most people have never stepped out of Tianxiong Pass in their entire life, let alone go to Dijing!
It is a place that is synonymous with all the beautiful imaginations, with prosperous scenes, geniuses like dragons, and beauties like clouds.
These soldiers have sharp eyes and exuding aura, and you can tell at first glance that they are not easy to mess with.
The noise at the door also alarmed many people in the building. Someone noticed the pair of soldiers and happened to know the origins of these people. He sneered in a corner!
They are just a group of young soldiers!
The troops he led were all private soldiers from large families, and after changing their furs, they became regular troops.
Really going to the battlefield, huh!
At this moment, a fair-faced man wearing a red flying fish suit and with a hint of shrewdness in the corners of his eyes walked out quickly from the door.
This person was wearing the flying fish uniform of the captain of the Sky Patrol!
His identity was naturally revealed; he was a captain of the local Sky Patrol Department.
When he saw the troops, he clasped his fists and smiled with a hint of flattery.
"I am honored by the courtesy of Deputy General Hu!"
"This is the famous Tianxiang Tower in our city. The Hu dancers inside are both talented in music. It is a good place to drink and watch dance. I have set up a table. Please follow me, Lieutenant General and all the brothers!" As he said this, his eyes changed and he looked to the side. Standing next to him was an old Hu man with a shy smile and a hunched body.
The captain kicked the old man and said indifferently, "What are you still standing there for? Go and help the adults get their horses."
As he said that, he threw a bag of money over.
The old Hu man took the bag skillfully and spoke in a pure Shu accent, "Thank you, Captain, for the reward."
As he said this, he quickly ran over to take the white horse under the red-armored soldier and stretched out his hand to pull the reins on the horse's head.
But the next second, there was a "pop" sound.
The old Hu man screamed in pain and fell down, covering the hand he had just stretched out. He saw that a layer of flesh had been pulled off his hand and blood was dripping.
The red-armored soldier on the white horse sat high on the horse's back, looking at the old man who fell to the ground, groaning in pain and covering his hand. He looked indifferent and said in a slow and cold voice: "You lowly thing, who let your dirty hands touch you?"
As he spoke, he pointed the hand holding the whip under his stirrup.
"Come here, kneel down, lie down!"
This scene made the people around frown.
When several Hu waiters from Tianxiang Tower saw this scene, they rushed out of the door, angrily shouting "Bo Wa" (the name for grandfather and elders in the Hu language), and wanted to rush forward to rescue.
As a result, there was a "clang clang clang" sound of swords being drawn, and several people in green armor shot out cold light.
A shout also rang out at the same time, "What are you doing?"
The local captain in red flying fish uniform glared at the foreign waiters and said, "Are you looking for death?"
Then he glanced at the red-armored soldier and said with a smile, "Deputy General Hu, please give me some face. It is not appropriate to mobilize troops for today's banquet."
As he said this, he looked at the old Hu man who had gotten up and said angrily, "Why don't you do as the adults tell you to do?"
When the old Hu man saw this scene, he shook his head along with several angry Hu waiters, then crawled under the stirrup of the red-armored soldier, knelt down and arched his back.
Several Hu waiters in Tianxiang Tower felt their temples throbbing with excitement, but they could only bear it.
Then the soldier in red armor stepped on the old Hu man's back and got off his horse.
This is how they treat the Hu slaves in the capital!
Afterwards, this man, along with his men and a local captain wearing a Feiyu uniform, entered the Tianxiang Tower.
The old Hu man was quickly helped up by several waiters from Tianxiang Tower and entered through the side door.
This scene is like a small episode.
Soon no one cared.
But from the corner of the alley opposite Tianxiang Tower, a rough and violent voice was heard.
"Damn you, you're such a disgrace to our Western Regions. You deserve to be trampled to death."
Another charming and seductive voice followed.
"This is the Tianxiang Tower that the prince of Beiliang asked us to help investigate."
"It seems interesting!"
"Let's go in and take a look!"
