Chapter 5
Jiang Chaoge changed into Meng Sheng's clothes and shoes, wrapped the knife in rags and carried it behind his back.He carefully folded his custom-made suit and put it in his luggage. He must keep the things he brought from his own world. It will always remind him where he came from and where he should go back.
The clothes of the people of Tianling Kingdom are very distinctive. The style of men's clothes is similar to the strong clothes of ancient China, not sloppy at all. In Jiang Chaoge's view, it looks a bit like the clothes in Xianxia games, and they are very energetic to wear.However, Meng Sheng looked poorer at first glance, the cloth of this clothes was crude, it was far worse than what the third prince wore.
"Old Meng, buy me a set of clothes when you get to town. These clothes and boots are a bit small."
Meng Sheng glared at him, "If you have money, you can buy it yourself. Do you know how much those two black panthers cost me?"
Jiang Chaoge curled his lips. Gold, silver and copper are also used as currency in this world. If he had known this, he must have brought a big gold chain as thick as a thumb.
"Let's go." Meng Lao took out two horse-shaped bone carvings, flung them in the air, and two horses appeared in front of them.
Jiang Chaoge was quite envious, when he could do the same, with a flick of his hand, he created an army of beasts.
Meng Sheng saw through his mind, "This kind of trick is just the lowest level of soul power manipulation. I will teach you how to cultivate soul power when you get to a safe place, but all I can teach you are entry-level ones. You have to practice advanced A level of soul power requires a lot of hard work, and I will tell you slowly."
Zhi Xuan snorted through his nose, "With your current cultivation, when you reach his age, you won't be able to be my soul envoy."
Jiang Chaoge sneered, "Is that an exaggeration? I'm a quick learner."
Meng Sheng said: "Xiao Jiang, it depends on your luck."
Zhi Xuan stared at him and said, "If you find me a suitable soul envoy, I will spare your life."
Meng Sheng said with a smile: "Master Zhixuan, if there is a soul envoy who can match your soul consciousness, we will definitely let him."
Jiang Chaoge picked up Zhixuan and put him on the horse, "Before you find it, you should feel wronged."
Zhi Xuan said angrily, "Don't touch me casually."
"Then you get on the horse yourself?"
Zhi Xuan gave him a fierce look.
Jiang Chaoge stepped on the horse, and brushed his long hair that had fallen to the ground, "Do you want to tie up your hair, I should be there in a while?"
"Foolish people, don't touch my hair." Zhi Xuan put his hair on his chest, the cheeks on his small face were bulging, it seemed that he was very angry.
Jiang Chaoge thought he was quite funny, if he didn't care about a strange beast from the bottom of his heart.
They left the small village at night and rode their horses towards the full moon.
Zhixuan grabbed the horse's mane and didn't want to get close to Jiang Chaoge, but the horse bumped and his small body couldn't stand it after sitting for a while, so he couldn't help leaning back.As soon as he got close to Jiang Chaoge's arms, he muttered dissatisfiedly, and sat up straight again. After repeating this three times, Jiang Chaoge became impatient and pushed him into his arms, "Master Zhixuan, you'd better sit calmly, this way Let's all be more comfortable."
Zhi Xuan raised his head and stared at him, "Who is to blame for my appearance? If it wasn't for you..."
"Trash, yes, it's all my fault. I will definitely work hard to cultivate my soul power, so that you can appear in this world with a majestic appearance earlier."
Zhi Xuan snorted softly, and found a comfortable position in Jiang Chaoge's arms to lean against, his big round eyes couldn't stop looking at the surrounding scenery. For him who had been asleep for thousands of years, everything he saw was fresh now , if this form did not make him depressed, being able to wake up from a deep sleep was what the soul beast was looking forward to the most.
After dawn, a small town appeared in front of them. Meng Sheng jumped off his horse, "The small town in front is the outer gate of Tian'ao City. If you leave the city, you will be outside the scope of the imperial capital. Come down, let's rest." .”
Jiang Chaoge hadn't ridden a horse for a long time, and after riding so intensively for several hours, his legs trembled when he got off the horse.He put Zhi Xuan under the root of the tree, and he sat down too.
Meng Sheng threw Jiang Chaoge a piece of black dough, "Eat something, and after a while pass the outer gate, you have to cheer up, and you will definitely be interrogated."
Jiang Chaoge looked at the dough and frowned deeply, "Old Meng, are you too poor, or do people in this place eat these things?"
Meng Sheng rolled his eyes at him, "I'm poor, but the things in this world aren't very tasty."
Jiang Chaoge sighed, handed the dough in front of Zhixuan, and asked tentatively: "Do you want to eat?"
Zhi Xuan turned his head and said disdainfully, "It's dirty and smelly."
Meng Sheng explained: "Soul beasts don't need to eat."
Jiang Chaoge had no choice but to bite the bullet and took a bite, um, it was worse than that bowl of batter, "Old Meng, what do you usually do for a living?"
Meng Sheng cleared his throat, "There are people with soul consciousness in this continent, if they are not from the nobility, they either have to work for the nobility, or they have to be self-reliant. If you work for the nobility, you can live a decent life and have the chance to get promoted and get rich and get high ranks." It’s just that they don’t have much freedom; if they are self-reliant, there are many ways to make a living. Some people make Horcruxes, some resell Horcruxes, some specialize in hunting raw materials for making Horcruxes, and some are mercenaries and thugs. As long as you have soul power, you can make a living no matter what. For me, I have done everything, and I can't survive or starve to death anyway."
Jiang Chaoge thought to himself, when he got to a safe place, he had to find a way to earn some money. He was most annoyed by the hard life. He had suffered for too many years when he was a child. He didn't want to experience the feeling of being hungry, having no money, and being looked down upon by others in his life. .
"When you enter the city in a while, you will see a lot of novel things. Remember not to make a fuss, and don't let people see that you are from another world. Prince Shu must have wanted us at the outer gate. We have to leave separately, you Just take Mr. Zhi Xuan straight to the city gate."
"Okay." Jiang Chao Ge glanced at Zhi Xuan, "Your eyes..."
Zhi Xuan rolled his eyes at him, and his pupils gradually changed from bright golden to ordinary black, which made Jiang Chaoge heave a sigh of relief.
After resting, Meng Sheng put away his horse, Jiang Chaoge hugged Zhi Xuan, and walked towards the outer gate.
At this time, there were not many people entering the city, and the guards yawned and came over with a wanted warrant.
Jiang Chaoge was a little nervous, but he had a child with him, so he could take some cover.
The soldier gestured at him twice with the arrest warrant, Jiang Chaoge glanced at the portrait, it was too fucking abstract.No wonder, he stayed in the hall for less than 10 minutes at that time, and few people could remember his appearance. If someone could recognize him in such an ugly painting, it would be considered an eye opener.
Sure enough, he was calm and composed, and the guards just looked around and let them in.
Although it was only a small city at the outer gate of the imperial capital, it was still much more prosperous than the towns they passed along the way.Early in the morning, people were coming and going at the market. It was Jiang Chaoge's first real contact with the lives of people in this world. No wonder Meng Sheng wanted to remind him in advance that there were so many strange things in the market, which really opened his eyes. .
Someone in front was hawking Horcruxes, such as cows plowing the fields, bright eels, dogs watching livestock, Jiang Chaoge went over to have a look, and the peddler kept summoning these things, and hyped that these Horcruxes were all from the East. The ones made by Que's apprentices are of high quality and low price, and can be used for a hundred years.
On the other side, someone was selling soul weapons and soul armor, and a customer was bargaining with the boss for an earth-level soul weapon.
Going forward, there is a super-large pavement, which is filled with all kinds of strange animal bones. The animal bones vary in size and are all complete. Some animal bones are placed in cages made of two-finger-thick iron bars. , looks pretty valuable.
Jiang Chaoge and Zhixuan are like two country folks who have just entered the city, stretching their necks to look at everything as they walk, seeing everything new.
When passing by a breakfast shop, there were white and tender steamed buns on the high drawer, exuding a burst of fragrance, Jiang Chaoge swallowed, thinking that it was something that people eat.
It's a pity that he has no money, and was about to take a second glance and leave when Zhixuan unceremoniously picked up a bun and took a bite.
Jiang Chaoge blinked his eyes, staring blankly at the boss.
The boss is an aunt in her forties. She smiled and said, "Brother, two copper coins."
Zhixuan was being held in Jiang Chaoge's arms with one hand, and he lost himself in eating, Jiang Chaoge lowered his voice and said: "Don't you always don't eat!"
Zhi Xuan licked the corner of his mouth, "You don't have to eat it, you can eat it."
Jiang Chaoge turned his head to look for Meng Sheng, but there was no sign of Meng Sheng in the vast market.He doesn't have a single steel coin on him, so how can he pay for it?
The proprietress was still waiting with a smile on her face.
Jiang Chaoge brushed the hair scattered on his forehead behind his ears, frowned slightly and looked at the aunt, his deep eyes were full of distress and embarrassment: "Sister, the child has been hungry for two days, he is not sensible , let you see a joke, I... our father and son finally came to the imperial capital to join relatives, and we are already penniless."
Zhi Xuan's eyes widened, and just about to open his mouth to scold him, Jiang Chaoge stuffed the bun into his mouth, and signaled him to shut up with his eyes.
The proprietress frowned and said "ah" in embarrassment.
Jiang Chaoge took off the ring from his hand, handed it over with red eyes, and said loudly on purpose: "But don't worry, I'm not a reckless person, this is my wife's relic, and it is also the most precious thing of our father and son. Here, when I earn two copper coins, I will come back and redeem it!"
The people around him all sympathized with him, "Oh, such a small child must be starving, it's just a bun."
"That's right. This little brother is so handsome. He doesn't look like a bad guy. It's a big deal for a child to eat a bun. It's just two copper coins. I'll pay them."
The proprietress immediately felt embarrassed, "Oh, forget it, I will care about a bun, brother, you take back such an important thing, it will not be easy for you father and son..." She picked up a few buns and threw them into the cloth bag Li, "Come, eat on the road, the people of Huangdu are not stingy."
Jiang Chaoge said movedly: "Sister, are all the people in Huangdu as beautiful and kind as you?"
The proprietress laughed so hard that she couldn't close her mouth, and stuffed two more boiled eggs.
After Jiang Chaoge left the breakfast stall, Zhixuan also spat out the steamed stuffed bun, he stared at Jiang Chaoge disdainfully, "You are impatient, don't you dare say that I am your son!"
Jiang Chaoge smiled and said, "Do you want to eat boiled eggs?"
"It's shameless to lie."
"Would you like boiled eggs?"
"Yes, peel the eggshell for me."
The elder and the younger walked towards the gate of the city while eating, and when they arrived at the gate of the city, four steamed buns and two eggs were put into their stomachs, and Jiang Chaoge felt that he had really eaten.
Zhi Xuan burped, his little face was flushed, "Human food is pretty good."
Jiang Chao Gepi smiled and said: "Ancestor, as long as you are happy."
"What is 'ancestor'?"
"It's a title of respect for you."
"What is the '100 meters' you said yesterday?"
"It's the length. It's about 50 times as long as me."
Zhi Xuan curled his lips, "What strange words..."
The two of them walked to the gate of the city while they were talking. After leaving this gate, even if they had officially left Tian'ao City, Jiang Chaoge found that his abstract portrait was posted on the gate with great fanfare. He held Zhixuan with his head held high. walked over.
"Wait." A guard stopped him, "Where are you from? Where are you going out of town?"
Zhi Xuan spoke out the speech Meng Sheng had prepared for him.
The guard held the painting and compared it for a long time, but he was not sure, so he went around behind him, "What are you carrying on your back? Is it a knife?"
Jiang Chaoge said calmly: "It's not a knife, it's a pair of snake bones. I plan to sell it in the city."
"Take it apart and let me see."
Jiang Chaoge put Zhi Xuan on the ground, untied the rope slowly, and secretly looked back to see if Meng Sheng had come.
At this moment, there was a sudden noise in the market, and then dozens of animals appeared out of nowhere, running wildly on the street. Besides the ordinary animals, Jiang Chaoge also saw a mouse with a human face I don't know what kind of monster it is, and the city is in chaos for a while.
"What's going on!" The guard yelled, "Follow me to see." He pointed at Jiang Chaoge, "You take the child and wait there, don't run around."
Jiang Chaoge nodded repeatedly.
Taking advantage of the chaos in the market, Meng Sheng jumped out from nowhere, dragged Jiang Chaoge out of the city, immediately summoned two horses, the three of them got on the horses, and galloped away without looking back.
Jiang Chaoge looked back at the outer gate, "Did you summon those things just now?"
"Otherwise, who else is there?" Meng Sheng glanced at them out of breath, "I don't even leave a bun for me."
Jiang Chaoge smiled and said: "I'm hungry, the main reason is that the little ancestor can eat too much."
Zhi Xuan snorted, "You are poor."
Meng Sheng said with a smile: "Out of the city, I will have a way to get rid of Prince Shu's pursuers."
"Really? Where are we going?"
"Go to my house."
