Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 1474 Desire
Passing through the vast grassland, the roadside gradually became more crowded.

The weather is also getting colder.

"Hiss, it's too cold."

Everyone in the carriage had already changed into cotton robes, even so Ji Ange, Li Jinniang and the others were still shivering from the cold.

Especially Li Jinniang, her lips were so cold that she couldn't speak, and even the excitement of seeing her sister weakened a lot.

In the carriage where the women were, only Meng Shi and Meng Ge were in good condition.

Meng Shi even wore only a thin jacket.

"Meng Jizi, don't you feel cold?" Li Jinniang looked at her in disbelief.

"My hometown is at the northernmost end of the Great Wall of Eternal Night, and it's much colder than here," Meng Shi smiled, "Besides, I'm a fire magician."

Ji Ange is also a fire magician, but at best she can only keep herself from shivering from the cold. Looking at Meng Ge who has almost no realm but still has the same expression as usual, she can't help feeling respectful.

"There are so many people living in such a cold place," Ji Ange looked at the village outside the car window.

On the way to the north, she was used to the desolation around her, but she did not expect that after passing through the grassland, she continued to go north all the way, but gradually there were voices of people.

You can even see many shopkeepers carrying burdens.

"Because it's close to Shanhaiguan," Fang Shisan interjected, pointing to a restaurant by the side of the road, "Did you see that restaurant? It's a branch of our Shanhaiju!"

"Really?" Ji Ange was surprised, "Where is Shanhaiguan?"

"Shanhaiguan is the largest border city!" Fang Shisan puffed up his chest with a proud face, "Our main store of Shanhaiju is there!"

"Guancheng?"

"Guancheng is a city built on the Great Wall of Eternal Night according to the terrain. The entire city is connected to the Great Wall, and the city is the gate," Ying Baoyue explained.

"Shanhaiguan is also the eastern starting point of the Great Wall of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and to the west is the Great Wall of Hou Liao."

Ji Ange took a breath, "Then we're almost in Houliao?"

"It's not close," Ying Baoyue compared the shape of a mountain range, "The Great Wall of the Hou Liao Dynasty and the Great Wall of the Northern Wei Dynasty are separated by a mountain range called Xueli Mountain. If you want to go to Hou Liao, you need to cross that mountain. "

"So that's how it is," Ji Ange said, "Then will we soon be able to see Shanhaiguan?"

"Well," Ying Baoyue nodded, "When you can see the Great Wall, you can see Guancheng."

After she finished speaking, she fell silent, but everyone in the car was still in the excitement of arriving in Guancheng, and no one noticed her abnormality.

Ji Ange and Li Jinniang opened the curtains of the car to look out, their eyes fixed.

On the far horizon, a tall black shadow that almost coincided with the horizon gradually appeared.

"That is……"

Ying Baoyue stared blankly at the approaching black shadow in the distance, and said softly.

"That is the Great Wall of Eternal Night."

Looking at the black city wall that seemed to be endlessly high in the distance, all the boys and girls in the carriage held their breath.

The city wall made of tall, dark stones stood quietly on the border of the empire.

Darkness covered the entire horizon. No matter how far Ji Ange and Li Jinniang looked, they couldn't see the end of the city wall. The black city wall extended infinitely from left to right, as if drawing the boundary of the entire world.The city wall was so high that it seemed to cover the scorching sun in the sky, a solemn and cold atmosphere permeated from every black brick and stone, and even the world became quiet.

In the distant sky, there are eagles circling.

This is the Great Wall of Eternal Night.

As the carriage approached, everyone saw mottled spots blown out by the wind on the city wall from a distance, and beyond the mottled spots, there were bloodstains printed into the cracks of the bricks and marks of swords.

This is the Great Wall of Eternal Night.

I don't know how many battles have taken place here, and how many soldiers have shed blood.

The carriage rumbled forward and gradually turned to the west. Ji Ange rubbed his eyes and looked at a city that appeared in the distance.

This city looks much smaller than the Danyang City in Southern Chu. It is built on the mountain, with high mountains to the west, and the Great Wall of Eternal Night connected to the southeast and northeast corners. High corners are built in both directions. There are turrets built on the corner turrets, and all the archery towers add up to be more than Danyang City.

Seeing this city, Ji Ange immediately understood what "Guan" was.

The whole city is like a fortress.

But just outside the city wall, which was armed to the teeth like this, many people shuttled back and forth with their burdens.

When the carriage arrived in front of the moat, Ji Ange looked up at the plaque hanging on the roof of the city with double eaves in the distance, and said softly, "The east gate of the town?"

"That's right, this is the Zhendong Gate!" Fang Shisan patted his thigh, "We have four gates in Shanhaiguan. The east is called Zhendong Gate, the west is called Ying'en Gate, the south is called Wangyang Gate, and the north is called Weiyuan Gate."

"The gate of Zhendongmen is the most magnificent, and it is called the first gate in the world!"

"The number one level in the world..." Ji Ange repeated, looking at Ying Baoyue, "Sister, did you mean to send something here when you said you were going to send it?"

Ying Baoyue shook her head, "Master Xu told me to go to a place called Lingbi, but I don't know where it is."

After she finished speaking, she quietly looked at Fang Shisan. She hadn't found this place on any map before. When she asked Fang Shisan, he only said that it was not far from Shanhaiguan City, and asked everyone to go to Shanhaiguan to rest first.

Under Ying Baoyue's gaze, cold sweat broke out on Fang Shisan's back. Sitting beside him, Fang Baniang lowered her eyebrows and kept her eyes shut without saying a word.

"Your Highness, this is really not something that a villain is qualified to tell you."

Fang Shisan did know where Lingbi was, but he wouldn't dare to tell Ying Baoyue himself even if he had ten guts.

He lowered his head, "Leave the villain alone, or ask the villain's adoptive father directly after arriving at Shanhaiju."

Seeing that Fang Shisan was so terrified, Ying Baoyue took a deep breath and didn't ask any more questions.

"Your adoptive father has already returned to Shanhaiju?"

Fang Shisan nodded, "The adoptive father has resigned and returned, and said that he will prepare the best room for His Highness in Shanhaiju to cleanse the dust."

"Really?" Ying Baoyue was taken aback. Since Qian Bofang had already returned, Mei Niang should also know that she was coming, right?
She glanced at the excited Li Jinniang beside her, and suddenly became a little nervous.

At this time, the carriage had already stepped onto the water gate on the moat, and everyone had the highest-level road guide issued by the prince of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and passed the east gate of the town without queuing.

Before Ying Baoyue could sigh, she returned to the city of Shanhaiguan.

As soon as they entered the city, Ji Ange, Li Jinniang and the others were taken aback by the excitement in the city.

It was close to dusk when they entered the city, and they were located in a frontier fortress. Everyone thought they would see a simple and desolate small city. All the people were dusty and tired, and the whole city would fall into a deep sleep when the sun set.

However, everything was beyond their expectations. There were vendors all over the street, and there was a lot of people everywhere.

In the distance, there is actually a huge flower building in the center of the city. In the twilight, the lanterns are lit up layer by layer, radiant and colorful, very lively.

Seeing the flower building, Ying Baoyue was startled suddenly.

She reached out and knocked on the wall of the car, and looked at Fang Shisan.

"I want to go there first tonight."
