in the edge

Chapter 169

It was the second time to come to Jiankang City, but it was the first time for Du Chengfeng to truly visit this big city.

Different from the prosperity that Du Chengfeng imagined, the streets in the city felt deserted. There were tall courtyard walls on the left and right, and there were almost no pedestrians on the road - although I had already seen them once when I entered the palace before. , but even if he looked at it again, it was hard for Du Chengfeng to imagine that apart from landmark buildings like the palace, other houses could occupy such a large area.

"It's such a big place. If you live alone, how much space will you have?"

Du Chengfeng couldn't help but scratch his head.

Fortunately, after leaving this deserted place, we arrived in an environment that Du Chengfeng was relatively familiar with. Facts have proved that the streets in the imperial capital are indeed more prosperous than those in the state capitals. Although the degree of prosperity is ultimately limited, at least it is already. It can be called lively.

So Du Chengfeng got off his horse.

Although in theory, he was a master and riding horses on the street was not a big deal, he still felt that strolling around had to be done on foot.Especially when walking among the pedestrians and listening to the shouts of those in the market, Du Chengfeng, who was walking slowly forward, felt faintly relaxed.

Yes, he didn't seem to have much leisure time during this period. He was either rushing to fight or sharpening his swords and practicing martial arts. Even if he had some free time occasionally, he would have to use two sets of dragon and tiger postures to feel at ease, even to eat. At that time, I was also thinking and planning about how to become better at fighting and how to gain more power.

And when did this kind of day start?
It seemed that from the moment he realized that he needed to have strength to protect his daily life, those ordinary lives and those simple joys had already left him.

Even those ordinary people were separated from him by a thick invisible barrier.

He even needs to consciously restrain himself to prevent the evil energy of the weapons in the saddle bag from leaking out and scaring passers-by to death, or from accidentally hitting passers-by to death with his too wide body - if he was just over 1.9 meters tall before, He can still say that he is ordinary tall, so now that his height has exceeded two meters, no matter how slow he is, he has already sensed the problem.

The main reason is that this improvement is not only in height, but also in strength and physical fitness. Although Du Chengfeng also knows that people who hold evil weapons will gradually strengthen themselves under the influence of evil, but it is obvious that he Strengthening is too efficient compared to others.

With his current strength, ordinary weapons may not be able to hurt him. He can make a tiger leap and land ten steps away. He can also crush hard bones with one hand. If he takes two steps at a trot, he can even hit a brick. Walls will be knocked down by him - although in terms of combat, this is undoubtedly a good thing, in daily life, it is still too much inconvenience.

Just like now, he must carefully restrain his strength to ensure that no one will be killed on the spot in this busy street. When passers-by look at him, who is more than two meters tall, they look like they are looking at a monster. All the same, they walked around one after another.

Although Du Chengfeng can understand this kind of behavior, after all, if there is a strong man taller than him walking on the street, he will also look at it like this and then walk around, but this kind of thing happened to him , after all, there are still some things that are not very adaptable.

But what made Du Chengfeng feel even more subtle was his own change.

Not only physically, but also in terms of attention. In the past, in such a bustling city, he might have been attracted by the hawkers and shouts on the street, and he would have looked at the pedestrians on the roadside, and even interacted with most people. Similarly, he also thought it was a good thing to see beautiful girls on the street - but now, he couldn't see those things that were attractive to ordinary people.

After embarking on this path of pursuing power, he only had eyes for those strong men who seemed to be able to compete with him.

Just like now, Du Chengfeng could tell at a glance that there were at least 30 masters who had killed people wandering on this street, and among these people, at least eight of them should be assassins who came for him— -Although those assassins were well hidden in the crowd, their slim figure that ordinary people could not have made them as dazzling as lights in the dark.

The weapons in the saddle bags were trembling faintly. It was obvious that these weapons were happy to kill these people who were sent to seek death, but Du Chengfeng raised his hand and pushed back the weapons.

Looking at the bustling crowd, Du Chengfeng suddenly lost interest in taking action.

"Forget it, finish your shopping and leave quickly."

Shaking his head, Du Chengfeng was ready to continue enjoying this rare leisure time as an ordinary person.

After going to buy some seasonal fruits, Du Chengfeng began to search for a dessert shop. After all, the shop with the most people might not necessarily be the most delicious. It’s rare to bring some souvenirs out, so he must find something that can be used. Just stuff.

"Huh? This is not bad."

When he visited the fifth shop, Du Chengfeng's eyes lit up after trying the food.

Although they are all pastries and desserts sold in the market, the sweetness made by this shop is softer. After eating a few samples, the fragrance will linger on your lips and teeth, but not in your throat. It is crispy when it should be, and crispy when it should be. The texture and taste are top notch.

"Pick me a little of each."

"Pick me a little of each."

Just when Du Chengfeng opened his mouth to place an order, the same words sounded around Du Chengfeng.

This couldn't help but make Du Chengfeng look askance at him.

In other words, it was hard not to attract his attention. After all, the burly man next to him was so majestic. Just looking at his height and build, he was almost as big as him, and his bulging muscles almost stretched over his body. The robe, which looked like it was worth a lot of money, was completely opened.

But what concerned Du Chengfeng even more was the figure of this sturdy man.Just looking at the standing posture and stable figure, Du Chengfeng had already confirmed that this was definitely a powerful master.

Does such a bold and bold man also like to eat sweets?

"This store is very good. It only opened a few months ago. I often come here to buy."

Sensing Du Chengfeng's gaze, the tall man didn't pay much attention, but casually chatted with Du Chengfeng.

"I just saw you visiting several shops. Do you also like sweets?"

"Fortunately, it's mainly for giving away."

Du Chengfeng scratched his head, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Ever since he took control of his power and grew bigger and bigger, no outsider has talked to him like this for a long time. Of course, it's not like no one has approached him, such as when he was in Yizhou before, or those courtiers before - but Du Chengfeng knew clearly that these people came to chat with him because they wanted him to do something. To put it bluntly, they thought it would be profitable.

But like now, it was just a casual conversation on the street, this kind of simple familiarity, and he was even a little uncomfortable with it.

However, when Du Chengfeng was silent, the tall man spoke again.

"It doesn't matter, it's rare to meet her once. For the sake of this fate, I will say a few words."

Having said this, the sturdy man pointed behind Du Chengfeng covertly.

"There are at least eight assassins following you. They all seem to be trying to survive. How about it? Do you need my help?"

"This... is not necessary."

Although he didn't know why the tall man in front of him was so enthusiastic, Du Chengfeng still declined the kindness.

"I know those assassins. I just don't want to do anything while I'm shopping. I'll take care of them myself when I get back to a more open area."

"Ah, you know this?"

The sturdy man was a little embarrassed.

"Then...can you divide me into four?"

"……Um?"

Du Chengfeng was stunned for a moment by the question.

He could still understand sharing a few pieces of pastry, but sharing a few assassins... It sounded like he was out of his mind.

"Are you serious?"

"I'm used to it. I always move before eating sweets, otherwise I always feel like I'm missing something."

Saying this, the tall man pointed at Du Chengfeng's back.

"Since these assassins don't know how to live or die, they can just use them to enjoy before meals."
