Supreme Emperor of Swords - Chapter 243

[Chapter 243 The Prosperity of Taiping City]

According to the tradition of [Taiping City], at the last moment before the sun sets every day, the four main city gates on all sides of Taiping City will be completely blocked to prevent the invasion of monsters and beasts.

It was already sunset time.

In the sky, goose feathers and heavy snow are flying, the setting sun is like blood, and there are flirtatious red clouds floating in the sky.

The gate to the southwest, the guards of the city lord’s mansion, have begun to retreat to seal the gate. The 100-meter-high iron-cast gate, under the action of the mechanism, made a loud noise like the whining of a beast, and it was slowing down. Close slowly.

After the iron gate is really closed, there will be a 500,000-jin giant gate behind it, which will slowly be lowered, making the entire city indestructible.

“Huh? Where are you looking…” A soldier suddenly found something and pointed to the distance in surprise.

The other dozen soldiers turned their heads to look, but saw a snowy air like a long dragon rolling in from the snow field in the distance, as if it was an arrow from the string. to the near.

“So fast? Could it be a demon?” a soldier asked nervously.

“No, it’s a knight.” The soldier squad leader’s face was full of surprise, “What a fast speed.”

In a twinkling of an eye, everyone felt a flash of flowers before their eyes, a gust of wind rushed toward them like a stormy sea, and a young knight had come to them in the long neigh of the horses.

This young man is about fourteen or fifteen years old, his face is like a crown jade, his eyebrows are like sharp swords, and he slants into his temples. On the other hand, Yingqi has a white folded-eared kitten lying on his shoulders that seems to be awake and sleeping. It is like a snow ball, and it is extremely cute. The white horse under the juvenile’s crotch is about two meters high, with teeth like sharp blades and muscles like a master of art. Carved from white jade, it is full of explosive power, with a little red heart on the forehead, and the wildness is lingering, like a lion like a dragon, incomparably divine, like a heavenly beast.

Really people are like jade, swords are like rainbows, horses are like dragons!

That soldier squad leader was stationed at the city gate all the year round, and he saw a lot of talented people who came and went, but had he ever seen such a handsome young man? Together with those soldiers, they were all dumbfounded. The only thought in their hearts was that this young man definitely had extraordinary origins. I was afraid that the core true disciple of a certain sect had entered the world and trained.

“Several big brothers, I’ve been on the road for a few days, and I’ve lost a little time. If I want to enter the city, can I make it easier?” Immediately, the young man’s face was kind and his smile was like a spring breeze.

“Haha, it’s okay, the city gate hasn’t really closed yet, the young hero can enter the city, please!”

The boy thanked him, rode his horse like a dragon, entered the city, and disappeared on the street in the distance.

“Could this young man be the genius of Wen Jianzong?”

“It must have a great background, if nothing else, the horse under its crotch should be the legendary steed [Snow Land Lion and Dragon Beast], and it can be listed on the [God Traveling Mount List] in the entire Selangor state. Ranked in the top three, it is worth tens of thousands of catties, and we will never be able to earn such a horse in our lifetime!”

“Hehe, I, Wang Wu, defended the city for six years, and I have seen quite a few noble family sons and sect geniuses, all of them arrogant and arrogant, but compared to the young hero just now, he is simply a chicken and a dog. It’s like a dragon in the sky!”

“Yeah, it’s even rarer that he is so humble and polite to us low-level soldiers… This is the real young hero!”

All the soldiers were amazed at today’s adventure, and they talked again and again. The sassy appearance of one person and one ride, and a glimpse of it, may be permanently engraved in their minds and become a topic of discussion for them to show off in their spare time.

The young man who entered the city was naturally Ding Hao.

After galloping all the way, I finally came to [Taiping City] before sunset, where I could find a hotel for the night.

This was the first time Ding Hao came to a human settlement. He rode on a horse and looked around, very curious.

The central main street in the city is all paved with cyan boulders. It is extremely flat and about 20 meters wide. Even if ten carriages are driven side by side, it is more than enough. Every five hundred meters, there will be a cross road, connecting the entire city. Divided into squares like a chessboard, the transportation is very convenient.

It is conceivable that once there is a demon war, such a wide road can allow [Taiping City] to send a large number of warriors and manpower to the city wall in a short period of time, and there will never be congestion.

The trials of blood and fire for survival for thousands of years have made the construction of this city, the first consideration factor is the convenience of war.

The sun has completely set, and the night has begun to cover the earth, but there are not many pedestrians on the road. There are three or three groups. On the pavilions on both sides, lanterns have been hung one after another. From a distance, it looks like a bright galaxy. , the lights are lit, the orange haze swaying in circles in the dark, and the snowflakes are flying in the night, which is truly beautiful.

Some vendors have not yet closed their business, and are still shouting hard on the roadside, hoping to make another profit before returning home.

There are also warriors who have returned from adventure, after a day of reminding them of the dangers and dangers, returning from the wilderness, or hurrying in the dust, or drinking and revelling, or discussing in twos and threes about the exchange of income, in exchange for the necessities of life… all kinds of people are on the street. Up and down, full of hustle and bustle.

If it is said that the life above the mountain gate of Jianzong is full of indifference and indifference, then the feeling of 【Taiping City】to Ding Hao is full of the mundane taste, closer to the life of ordinary people, and more humane .

As we walked, the street in front finally began to narrow, and there were more pedestrians on the road.

This should be the night market of [Taiping City].

Ding Hao got off his horse and led the [Snowland Lion and Dragon Beast] slowly forward. He was not in a hurry to find a hotel to live in. He finally came out once, and there was still a lot of time. He wanted to experience the prosperity of the human settlements in the endless continent.

Along the way, Ding Hao saw all kinds of stalls, such as clay figurines, sugar blowing figurines, entertainers, acrobats, martial arts performers, selling all kinds of cute little beast pets, as well as small noodle stalls, tea houses, ready-to-wear Shop, weapon shop, armor shop, all kinds of snack shops…

The thick aroma lingered in the sky above the night market, and the crowd was full of people.

After casually asking passers-by a few words, Ding Hao realized that he was really lucky, to catch up with the night market that happens to be held every six days in [Taiping City] tonight, so it was so lively and bustling with people coming and going. There was a lot of noise, and I saw the most prosperous side here.
