Eastern mythology system

Chapter 94
The two tall and heavy city gates slowly turned, and finally closed with a bang.

Anthony and the other three finally entered the imperial capital before the city gate was closed.

It is said that the imperial capital is prosperous, with numerous shops and crowds.Now Anthony has seen it.

Even when the night was approaching and the city gate was closed, there were still people coming and going on the corner near the city gate and away from the center of the palace, and it was very lively.

As the sky has begun to dim, some houses and shops on both sides of the road have turned on their lights earlier.There is faint black smoke rising from the chimneys on the roofs of some houses, presumably a hearty dinner is being prepared for the family.

Looking at such a bustling and lively strange city, Anthony was in a daze for a while, but he didn't know where to go.

"Are you from out of town? Do you need help?"

There was an enthusiastic voice next to him.

Anthony turned his head and saw a slightly fat middle-aged man standing beside the carriage.There is a full smile on a round face, just like the boss in the shop who is looking forward to customers.

After pondering for a while, Anthony thought that it was going to be late now, and he was a newcomer and unfamiliar with life, so it would be good to have someone to ask.So he opened his mouth and replied: "Yes, it's the first time I came to the imperial capital, and I don't know the way. Can I trouble my brother to help us find an inn?"

"Oh, this is simple. Turn left at the intersection ahead, and there is a 'Yunlai Inn' not far away. The room is clean and the price is reasonable. Anyway, I'll drop by and take you there together?"

"Thank you." Although Anthony is also a nobleman, he doesn't pay much attention to food, clothing and accommodation.If someone leads the way, naturally he readily agrees.

The storefront of Yunlai Inn is not luxurious and splendid, it is quite satisfactory, but it occupies a large area.Although the location is a bit out of the way, the boss should have some energy to open such a large inn in the imperial capital.

Anthony thanked the middle-aged man and went upstairs to rest in his room.After the fierce battle, he had traveled for another day, and he was really a little tired at this time.

Paying money to book a room and other small matters are naturally handled by the coachman and Paul.

The rooster crowed, and a line of white appeared in the eastern sky.

Anthony got up early, called Paul, went downstairs to the lobby for breakfast, and then walked out of the inn.

I was planning to ask someone for directions, but saw an acquaintance.

The first time Anthony came to this imperial capital, he knew only two people, one of whom was Prince Andre, whom he only met once.The other is the target he is looking for.

Of course, this acquaintance was not the two of them, but the middle-aged fat man who enthusiastically led Anthony the way yesterday.

"Master, I think you need a guide?" Yuan still had a smile on his face.

The reunion after one night, it seems that Anthony and him are not destined, or a coincidence.

Anthony smiled.

This is just right, no need to ask all the way.

"Of course, there is a fee." Seeing Anthony nodding, the middle-aged fat man smiled even more.

……

"Jinxiangyu" is a shop.

Just by looking at the name, you can tell that this is a shop dealing in jade business.

The big customers who can afford gold, silver and jewelry are naturally powerful and powerful families.Even if you buy "copper-smelly things" like gold and silver, rich families should be more elegant.Otherwise, how can it show the difference from ordinary people.

The name of this shop is vulgar and straightforward, of course it is not suitable for other people's taste.The result is that the business is bleak, there are no birds at the door, and there are not many customers to patronize.

The shopkeeper, however, sipped tea and read books leisurely every day, and he didn't see him worrying about business at all.

In fact, the shopkeeper just cultivated his kung fu well, and he has been worrying about it for two years.

It's just that what's urgent is not business, but something that Her Royal Highness told her.

Of course, the shopkeeper is not only for this one thing as the shopkeeper in this shop.When Her Royal Highness explained, her tone and demeanor were quite casual.But the shopkeeper noticed that her eyes were serious.

That boy, when did he come here?If he didn't come for a day, he would be in trouble every day.

"Shopkeeper, there seems to be something wrong with the batch of jade you brought in. They were stopped by the city guards at the east gate. You should hurry over and have a look."

An old man came in and shouted into the store.

The shopkeeper looked up and saw that it was the owner of the grocery store next door.

"No way? That batch of jade stones has all the formalities, and the origin is correct, so there shouldn't be any problems." Muttering, he thanked the old man again, "I see, thank you brother."

The shopkeeper stood up and walked out, and at the same time told the clerk next to him: "You help me watch the store, I will go out for a while."

The young man bowed and said, "Yes, shopkeeper."

Not long after.

A middle-aged fat man came in with two teenagers.

"Excuse me, is the shopkeeper there?" One of the teenagers asked the young man.

The young clerk said politely: "Oh, the shopkeeper just went out."

The boy was taken aback, he didn't expect such a coincidence.

After pondering for a while, the boy asked the young clerk for a pen and paper, and wrote a few words.Then he pressed a mark with the ring on his hand and handed it to the clerk.

"Brother, please give this to your shopkeeper, thank you."

The young man cupped his hands in thanks, turned around and left.The middle-aged fat man and the other boy followed without saying a word.

When the young man looked down, he saw that there was only one person's name and one store name written on the paper:
Anthony, Yunlai Inn.

What does this mean?
The young man was puzzled, and a customer came to the door.He put the note on the table and hurriedly greeted the guests.

The wind from outside the street was blowing, coming in from the shop door opened by the customer, and circling in the shop in curls.The curtains, books and other things in the store were all rattled by the wind, and a piece of paper was also blown by the wind, and it fell into nowhere.

……

Ever since he knew that Yalena was a princess, Anthony understood that the address she had left before was just a place for communication, and it was unlikely that he would meet her directly there.

It will probably be a while before the news reaches her ears.

That being the case, why not go around the city first to familiarize yourself with the situation.

Regarding the plight that Princess Yalena was facing, Anthony had no idea how to help her.But as a friend, the former "comrade-in-arms" friendship in Hengling prevented him from being completely indifferent after hearing the news, and did not take any action.

At that time, he had always stood in front of her, resisting everything for her.

The little misunderstanding at the beginning, I don't know when it started, was acquiesced by Anthony, and he slowly admitted and accepted it from the bottom of his heart.

The middle-aged fat man is called Lin Zhifeng, and he is from the Southern Federation.Came to the imperial capital with a few partners who had dreams, and spent more than a year hanging around, but they didn't make a name for themselves.

This Lin Zhifeng is smooth-tempered and quick-witted, and he can always find some lucrative jobs.Although there is no hope of great wealth, at least he will not be hungry.

With his blessed face, it is easy to win the favor and trust of strangers.It is the most suitable person to receive foreigners who have just arrived in the imperial capital.

Lin Zhifeng talked eloquently, and didn't care at all that being a foreigner, staying in the imperial capital for just over a year would have a negative impact on his promising career as a guide.

Anthony listened quietly, smiling, nodding his head now and then to make some remarks.

For newcomers, it is enough to have a general understanding of the layout of the imperial capital.Lin Zhifeng didn't know the deeper things he wanted to know, so could the locals know.I'm afraid it's not as good as what the Grand Duke Mattesias told him in the city of Edinburgh.

However, the name Lin Zhifeng is very similar to the style of Xiaobai's oriental world.

Under the guidance of Lin Zhifeng, the three of them turned around the corner and were about to go to the imperial palace in the center of the imperial capital, when three young men walked towards them.

All three are young people in their twenties.A sloppy, cynical look.The other one was serious, with pursed lips and a cold face, and the words "Keep away from strangers" were almost engraved on his forehead.

The last person should be an aristocrat in terms of clothing and behavior.A few steps behind the two people in front, he was reluctantly saying goodbye to a beautifully dressed woman with a very dusty smell.

The rogue-looking young man saw Lin Zhifeng and Anthony next to him, and immediately yelled.

"I'm talking about Lin Zhifeng, you used to be a bronze fighter anyway. You do some work as a guide all day long. Even if you don't cherish your reputation as a wind wolf, you still have to take care of our reputation as the 'Four Heroes of the Southern Union'. "

　Thanks for the unintentional reward.
