Best luck

() Liang Yong and his two walked along the post road for two days. On the evening of the third day, they saw a majestic city under the setting sun.Even with the eyes of modern people, Yiliang was shocked by this majestic scene.Buildings with a height of 20 meters can be seen everywhere in the cities of later generations. There are countless more tall buildings than this one, but they look far less majestic than the city walls in front of them.

The city wall stretches across the end of the plain, enclosing a hill, and the city is built along with the mountain. There is a ten-meter-wide moat in front of the city wall.Looking so far away is shocking from the heart, with a huge sense of depression.Those who can rule this city are absolutely powerful, far beyond the reach of reckless warlords with big beards and red noses.

"It's strange, why is our speed so fast? According to the distance, it takes at least five days to get there, but we only got there in two days." Huzi was surprised but puzzled.

"What's the name of this city?" Liang Yong didn't have much sense of the distance. He didn't know anything about the situation here from Erniu's memory, and Huzi used to come here with his family steward to traffic in a few years ago. I have passed private salt, and I am familiar with the terrain of this area. ..

"It's called Raging Fire City, and the owner of the city is called Raging Fire King. He is a hereditary prince. His family has ruled the city for hundreds of years. Although the previous dynasty has been destroyed for decades, all the heroes in the world have been divided by warlords. The kings and grandchildren of the nobles no longer exist, but the Fire King is still able to firmly control the city, and his strength has not diminished, but has expanded a lot. Five years ago, when I came here to sell salt with the steward, the power of the Fire King reached the radius One thousand miles, the east side is connected to the sea..." Hu Zi pointed to the city and introduced to Liang Yong in detail.

After listening to his introduction, Liang Yong knew that Raging Fire City is the only stable, prosperous and legal area in the troubled times. As long as he is allowed to enter Raging Fire City, he can regain a peaceful and stable life.

"Er Niu, let's work harder to enter the city at night, so as not to sleep in the countryside." Hu Zi suggested, although he was puzzled, he was still overwhelmed by the surprise of seeing the city of fire, and didn't think much about it.

"Okay." Liang Yong nodded.

An hour later, the two of them were already standing at the gate of the huge city, and the sky was already dark.A group of soldiers was preparing to close the city gate and go to the suspension bridge. At this time, there were still many Bai surnames eager to enter the city in front of the city gate. Five or six soldiers were inspecting these Bai surnames and collecting taxes for entering the city.

When it was Liang's turn to inspect the two, two soldiers came up and scolded: "Put the things down for inspection, and the two will pay 20 coppers for customs clearance!"

Asking for money, it was really embarrassing for Liang Yong and the two of them. They had a lot of things on them, but they didn't have a tael of silver, not even a copper coin.

"Master, we have no money, can we use animal skins to offset the customs clearance fee. These animal skins are all going to be sold in the city." Hu Zi politely explained to the soldiers.

"No...we are only responsible for collecting money, how can we use something to offset this kind of thing." The soldier glared and scolded, but everyone could see the cunning look on his face, and this matter can be accommodated.

"Hey, sir, it's convenient for you, take these two deer legs, and treat them as filial piety for you." Huzi knew the way of this very well, and immediately stuffed the two pickled dried deer legs into soldiers.

The attitude of the two of them accepting the deer legs suddenly became more friendly. One of them looked sideways at Hu Zi and nodded, "The boy's attitude is not bad, and he's on his way. Master, I'll just work hard once. Two people clear the customs and receive two animal skins from you. In the past !"

Hu Zi nodded quickly, pulling Liang Yong to enter the city.But at this moment, the soldier next to him roared with a long spear: "Wait, you haven't checked this pile of items yet!"

This time Huzi couldn't be more flexible in sending animal meat, and the two soldiers insisted on inspection.It's not that they are old-fashioned, but that the situation is too chaotic recently. The Fire King strictly ordered the soldiers to inspect the gate of the city to prevent enemy personnel from sneaking into the city to make trouble.

They asked Hu Zi to dismantle the large bundle of animal skins and rummaged through them for inspection. Because they had received benefits before, although they inspected carefully, they did not make things too difficult.Seeing that there were no contraband in the animal hide, he waved to Hu Zi to tie up the animal hide again, ready to let the two of them into the city.

But when Huzi tied up the hide and straightened up to leave, an officer walked by and pointed at Huzi and scolded, "Wait, what are you hiding in your arms? Take it out and check it."

"Master Jun, I just have a piece of cloth in my arms, and I'm going to go into the city to make clothes." Hu Zi quickly explained, took out the military flag from his arms, and didn't take it seriously.

I don't want to take out the military flag, but just fold it, so the officer's expression changes drastically, and he snatches it from Huzi's hand and shakes it away to watch.When the entire military flag was unfolded, the expressions of the other soldiers also changed drastically.

With a hula, he surrounded Liang Yong and Hu Zi with a spear and a big knife, as if he was facing a big enemy.

"Catch them, they are the enemy's spies!" The officer pointed at the two and roared.

"Kill!" The soldiers yelled in unison, stabbing with the weapons in their hands, and before Liang Yong and the two could react, they were locked in all directions by the spears, and the shining blades rested on their necks.

"Master! Master...you misunderstood, we are good citizens...good people..." Huzi turned pale with fright, and stammered his explanation.

"Misunderstanding! You hid the enemy's flag and entered the city and said it was a misunderstanding. Tie it up for me and send it to the general." The officer sneered sternly.

"Master Jun really misunderstood, this is a good military flag, but that army has been destroyed, and the bearded general at the head has also been beheaded, the military flag is useless, we just look at the material and use it to make clothes..." Hu Zi anxiously explained.

But no one paid any attention, a group of soldiers rushed up, tied them up like zongzi with ropes, picked them up with spears, carried them into the city, and went straight to the prince's mansion.

Huzi begged repeatedly along the way, only to find out from a soldier that this kind of military flag is not unique to the bearded man, but belongs to a bandit alliance, which is the deadly enemy of the fire king. The bandit alliance has robbed the fire king many times. Caravans, the two sides have confronted dozens of times at the border.

Liang Yong and Hu Zi entered the city with this broken army flag in a daze, naturally they scared the guarding soldiers so much that it would be strange if they didn't treat them as spies.

The city of Raging Fire is very big. The soldiers carried two people forward along the central axis avenue, first on the flat road and then up the mountain. After walking for half an hour, they arrived at the entrance of a magnificent mansion. There is a huge gatehouse and a large square here. There are many archways around the square with flags waving.There are 1000 soldiers standing guard and patrolling alone, each wearing tough animal skin armor and shining spears, more than a hundred times stronger than the motley army with beards.
