Chapter 43

Listen, I'm asking for Dream Cup votes, Three Rivers votes, recommendation votes, and all kinds of support!!!1

Xiaoming came to the lakeside, bypassed the green-eyed wolves, and collected a large bundle of herbs again.

Although he was not afraid of the wolf pack now, he did not intend to harm them. With them here, low-level warriors would not dare to approach, acting as free gate gods. It made no sense for Ye Feng to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.

Ye Feng came out of the mountains and hired a carriage to head for Qing Shuang City.

The official road was relatively safe, so after four or five hours, they arrived at Qing Shuang City. By then, it was already dark, and the entire Qing Shuang City looked like a huge monster in the darkness, devouring everything around it.

At the city gate, Ye Feng got off the carriage.

Although Ye Feng was carrying a pile of grass-like things, no one dared to say anything when they saw the long spear in his hand. Only a few people in the distance were whispering.

Looking at Qing Shuang City, Ye Feng took a deep breath. It was his first time in Qing Shuang City and his first time seeing such a huge city. The city walls were made of huge blue stones, and they were about seven or eight zhang high, making them spectacular. Standing at the city gate, he felt a sense of oppression, making it hard for him to breathe.

If such a city were placed on Earth, the world's eight wonders would pale in comparison. Those were all human-made, but these city walls? If Ye Feng hadn't already understood this world, he wouldn't believe they were human-made.

Even at night, there were still many people entering and leaving the city.

The city guards were lazily chatting at the city gate.

In this world, the territory of a country was very vast. For example, Tian Lan Country, which was a small country on the edge of the Tian Lang Continent, was larger than two Chinas. Such a vast land area made wars between countries very rare, so these city guards were just for show.

Moreover, these city guards were essentially the private army of the city lord, meant to intimidate the various families in the city.

The weakest of these city guards were at the quasi-warrior level, and most were first-stage warriors. Second-stage warriors were usually captains. This was also a career path. The salary of first and second-stage warriors in the city guard was very high, not much worse than hunting ferocious beasts on their own. Moreover, there was almost no risk to their lives, and they could practice well. A city was like a sect in a different form. These city guards, like tasks issued by sects, could earn points and exchange them for resources.

Ye Feng and the carriage he hired walked into the city together.

When the driver reached the city gate, he threw a silver tael into a box, and Ye Feng walked straight in, with the city guards not even glancing at him.

The silver tael the driver gave was a tax. Every ordinary person entering Qing Shuang City had to pay a tax, but warriors like Ye Feng did not. Generally, those entering and leaving Qing Shuang City at night were mostly warriors. Ordinary people did not dare to walk at night, as it was the peak activity time for wild beasts and ferocious beasts, and their ferocity would increase several times. Walking at night was a death sentence for ordinary people.

Not only ordinary people, but even quasi-warriors generally did not go out at night.

At that time, even on the official road, there was a chance of encountering ferocious beasts. The survival rate of a single quasi-warrior encountering a ferocious beast was very low.

As for Ye Feng? Seeing the long spear and giant bow on his back, the city guards did not believe he was not a warrior. They had the discernment to recognize the standard long spear of the Tian Bao Pavilion.

"Once I get home, I'll make sure my son practices hard!"

The driver looked at Ye Feng walking into the city with envy and couldn't help but sigh. Although one silver tael was not much, it represented a status that these commoners aspired to. Two months ago, it was also what Ye Feng aspired to.

But two months later, Ye Feng had undergone a complete transformation.

After entering the city, Ye Feng parted ways with the driver. The driver had a dedicated station in the city, where these places were large dormitories, just for a night's stay, but they were cheap. Ye Feng, who was not short of money, naturally would not stay in such a place.

Qing Shuang City was very large, divided into several areas. There were areas specifically for warriors, sects' outposts in Qing Shuang City, areas for commoners, areas for merchants, and the largest city lord's residence. The city lord was like the head of a sect, and the city lord's residence was the headquarters, naturally very large. Almost all city lord's residences in cities were like this. If the county lord's residence in a county city, it would be ten times larger than the city lord's residence in Qing Shuang City.

Qing Shuang City had a population of over a million, and even the poor had a small courtyard, showing how large Qing Shuang City was.

"Sir, do you have a familiar place in Qing Shuang City? If not, I can take you. It's definitely cheap and clean!"

"Sir, the place I'll take you to is the best in Qing Shuang City, and the price is the most reasonable!"

......

As soon as Ye Feng entered the city, a crowd of people gathered around him, all speaking to him.

At this time, those entering the city were all warriors. Warriors were not necessarily from Qing Shuang City, and due to its size, the profession of guide emerged. Warriors were often associated with 'money,' so hosting warriors became their top priority. If a warrior was satisfied, a reward that seemed insignificant to them could make them a small fortune.

"Uh......"

Seeing this scene, Ye Feng was stunned for a moment, then a faint smile appeared on his lips, reminding him of a time he went to a rural clinic, and a bunch of motorcycle and tricycle drivers surrounded him as soon as he got off the car.

"You! Take me to a good inn!"

Ye Feng looked around and said to a man in his forties.

This man was clearly a novice, standing at the back, hesitating several times. Ye Feng naturally did not mind giving him a hand.

"Boom..." Seeing Ye Feng choose someone, the others instantly scattered, surrounding another warrior who had just entered the city, shouting again.

"Thank you, thank you, sir!" The man, seeing Ye Feng choose him, hurriedly thanked him.

"Sir, please wait a moment, I'll go get the carriage!"

A short while later, the man drove a carriage out from a nearby courtyard.

"Sir, we're here!" After about half an hour, the carriage stopped, and the driver said to Ye Feng in the carriage.

"Four Seas Wine House!"

After getting off the carriage, Ye Feng saw the sign of the wine house.

Seeing Ye Feng get off, the driver quickly went into the wine house. Soon, a waiter came out, gave the driver a silver ingot, and walked towards Ye Feng.

"Sir, please come in, our wine house guarantees you a warm welcome!" Anyone might be short of money, but the only ones who were never short of money were warriors. If a warrior was short of money, they could hunt a ferocious beast, which might be their lifetime savings. Although Ye Feng was young, no one would underestimate him. Even if Ye Feng was a quasi-warrior, he was not someone they could compare to.

Therefore, even with a large bundle of what looked like straw on his back, no one underestimated him.

Ye Feng took out a silver ticket worth a hundred taels and gave it to the driver, then followed the waiter into the wine house.

"Thank you, thank you, sir!" The driver, holding the hundred-tael silver ticket, trembled slightly. After a while, he reacted and bowed repeatedly to Ye Feng, who had already walked into the hotel.

Ye Feng just waved his hand and walked into the hotel.

"Waiter, give me a top room, I'll stay for half a month!" With hundreds of thousands of silver tickets in hand, Ye Feng naturally would not deprive himself.

"Sure! Sir, please come this way!" The waiter, hearing Ye Feng's words, immediately showed excitement, shouted, and led Ye Feng to the third floor, room Tianzi Jia No. 3.

The top rooms were all inner and outer suites, with a bedroom inside and a living room outside, decorated very meticulously.

Ye Feng was very satisfied with this. "Waiter, bring me some wine and dishes!" Ye Feng said, taking out a silver ticket worth a thousand taels and giving it to the waiter.

"Yes, sir!" Taking out a thousand taels casually, Ye Feng was clearly not just a quasi-warrior. Such a young warrior made him even more cautious, so he treated Ye Feng with even more respect.

......

The next day, Ye Feng left the wine house with the herbs on his back.

"Sir, sir......"

As soon as Ye Feng walked out of the wine house, a voice called out from the side.

Hearing the call, Ye Feng turned his head and saw the carriage that had brought him the previous night parked by the roadside, and the driver who had called him was the same one from yesterday.

"Hmm? Uncle, is there something?"

"Sir, please don't call me that. My surname is Wang, and I'm the second in my family. You can just call me Wang Er...... Last night, you gave me too much money. Today, wherever you want to go, I'll take you and be your guide for free!"

Hearing Ye Feng's question, the middle-aged man waved his hands excitedly and respectfully said.

Hearing this, Ye Feng pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Uncle Wang, take me to the Tian Bao Pavilion!"

When Wang Er heard that Ye Feng wanted to go to the Tian Bao Pavilion, he couldn't help but tremble. As someone who had lived in Qing Shuang City all his life, he naturally knew what the Tian Bao Pavilion was.

When he was born, the Tian Bao Pavilion already existed. It was the largest merchant in Qing Shuang City. Although he had lived in Qing Shuang City for forty years, he had never been to the Tian Bao Pavilion. Although the Tian Bao Pavilion allowed anyone to enter, he did not dare to go in. Just the storefront alone was enough to make him hesitate, as anyone who could enter there was either a warrior or a high-level warrior.

"Sure, please sit tight!" After a moment of shock, Wang Er quickly shouted and headed towards the city center.
