The whole world is an NPC

Chapter 57
On the tenth day of August, Mrs. Li suddenly announced that she was going to Los Angeles tomorrow.Because the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, they want to rush back to pay respects to their grandfather in Los Angeles.

Ye Xueying has now reached the thirteenth level, and she is very interested in the legendary Luo City and the legendary Hou's Mansion.She agreed to go with him without any objection.

Mrs. Li breathed a sigh of relief, her daughter has always disliked the Hou Mansion, and in the past she always had to coax her for a long time before agreeing to go back.

Before leaving, Ye Xueying flirted with her father and insisted on taking away his treasured bow and sword from her father's arsenal.

General Ye is a typical general who doesn't like jewels, but only weapons.He has collected more than ten divine weapons.

Ye Xueying picked out Zhang Qiang's bronze magpie painting bow and a Qingfeng sword that cuts gold and jade.

As early as half a month ago, Mrs. Li began to prepare various gifts.On August 20th, the Ye family left, leaving a butler with a team of guards and more than [-] servants to watch the house.

Thirty carts headed for Los Angeles, the state capital.

Mrs. Li sat in the first carriage, Ye Xueying sat in the second carriage, and the nuns and maids crowded into the four carriages.There are also three cars for the three young masters of the Ye family to rest.The rest of the car is loaded with gifts and luggage.Commander Ye took his sons and escorted them on horseback with hundreds of soldiers.The Ye Mansion almost dispatched in full force, with nearly 200 people in this brigade.

After leaving the county seat, Ye Xueying was very excited. This was her first time traveling far in this world.

She looked curiously at the ancient wilderness.After watching it for less than 3 minutes, she turned back. The deserted mountains, the unchanging scenery, the dilapidated roads, and the dust all over the sky were really unbearable.

She would have liked to ride a horse, and now she has three horses.The red horse given by his father was named after Hongying.It means red shadow, and praises the horse for running as fast as the shadow.The blue-and-white BMW given by the eldest brother is directly called blue-and-white.Later, the third brother asked someone to buy her a white horse from Los Angeles, called Yinzi.

But with more than 200 horses running on the road, the dust was so great that she couldn't bear it.

Ye Xueying had no choice but to lean in the carriage, and took out the latest script to read.This was her third brother who entrusted someone to find it from Los Angeles.

After walking all the way until noon, the Ye family had a picnic in the woods by the roadside.In the evening, I finally arrived at a small county town in a neighboring county.The Ye family stayed in the inn, because there is no big inn in the city, a large team of hundreds of people can't fit in a small county inn.

Ye Xueying got out of the car and observed the legendary ancient post.The yard is huge and the house has three entrances.The mottled walls are obviously in disrepair, and there is only one manager and three guys inside.Rough tables and chairs, eaves and roofs covered with cobwebs, moldy quilts exuding an unpleasant smell.

This kind of post station is nominally free for officials passing by, but in fact, officials of really high grade generally do not come to live there.When officials go out, they either live in a big hotel, or are received by the local government, or stay overnight in a luxury business.Those who come and live are often messengers, messengers, fast catchers, petty officials, secret agents of Jin Yiwei and others.What they come here for is free accommodation, food and drink.

Commander Ye chose to live here for safety reasons.He couldn't trust the inns where people came and went, nor could he trust the local officials and businessmen.Living here, he can use hundreds of his own soldiers and dozens of guards at home to decorate it like a small castle.This is the place where the imperial court belongs. Even if the second uncle sends someone to assassinate him, he will have great scruples.

The filth and ugliness of the inn made Ye Xueying lose all interest.Living a luxurious life for more than half a year has quickly corrupted her taste in life.She quickly ran to the courtyard and refused to go in.

Mrs. Li was not surprised, her daughter has always been delicate.She touched her daughter's head and said, "It's like this when you go out. If you don't want to, you can sleep in the car at night."

The steward of the post station sent chickens, ducks, fish, and rice from neighboring villages.The Ye family made a fire and cooked by themselves, and dealt with it.

That night, Ye Xueying took Du Juan and her two daughters to sleep on the carriage.

Waking up the next day, Ye Xueying found that she was already on the road.There was nothing to say all the way, and after three days of driving, they finally arrived in Los Angeles.

Ye Xueying opened the car curtain and looked out. The 16-meter-high city wall is entirely made of bluestone one meter long and one foot high.As far as the eye can see, Luo City is firmly protected by a city wall with a circumference of dozens of miles.Large mottled and faded bloodstains can still be seen on the city walls, and there are countless remnants of arrows and axes.

Luocheng was the first important town to face the invasion of nomads from the northwest. Ten years ago, tens of thousands of enemy troops attacked Luocheng.

Luocheng is the most prosperous city in the far northwest. It is the capital of Luozhou, the largest commercial center, the power center of the whole state, and the strongest military fortress in the northwest.All the high-ranking officials and dignitaries in Luozhou lived here.

After entering the city, the city was densely populated, and the civilians led the garrison, with a total of more than 30 people.There are many shops on the street, and the sound of hawking keeps coming and going.

Ye Xueying nodded, this is what a big city should be like.

After traveling for another hour, the convoy finally arrived in front of the Hou Mansion.

There were two large stone lions in front of the door, and a group of soldiers in bright armor stood beside it.On the forehead of the door are the words Wu'anhoufu in gold with a black background.

The vermilion gate of the Hou Mansion, nailed with large copper nails, was opened, and the gate guards took away the one-foot-high threshold.The motorcade went straight into the courtyard and stopped in front of the second gate.

The convoy stopped and everyone got out of the car.The soldiers and guards left and went to live in the outer courtyard.Dozens of rough envoy women came out from the second gate, they sat in the coachman's seat, and drove the car into the backyard.

After walking for half a mile, the convoy stopped again in front of a big house.

Ye Xueying got out of the car and looked around curiously.Naturally, she had the impression of the Hou Mansion in her memory, but it was completely different from seeing the real thing.This is the Rong'an Hall where Lord Hou and Mrs. Hou lived, and it is resplendent and magnificent everywhere.

With Ye Xueying's eyesight cultivated in the Ye Mansion, she underestimated the price of Rong An Tang a little, and the price of materials alone is worth hundreds of thousands of silver.She stuck out her tongue secretly, and clicked 32 likes for the wealth of the Hou Mansion.

Thinking that she was the direct daughter of this family, she couldn't help but feel proud.Then she thought about it, it was not that easy for her to enjoy this glory and wealth. She first had to kill her second uncle and help her father secure his position as the eldest son of the Hou family.

Following her family into the lobby, Ye Xueying swept her eyes and had a panoramic view of the situation in the hall.

Mr. Hou and Mrs. Hou were sitting on the main seats.The old marquis looks very similar to General Ye. He is well-maintained. He does not look like an old man in his 50s, but he looks like General Ye's brother.With a slight smile on his face, he looked at the descendants below.The old Marquis' eyes were as fierce as a wolf, and he looked like he was in a high position and looked down upon people as if they were nothing.The nasolabial folds on both sides of the mouth were frighteningly deep. Ye Xueying remembered that the novel said that such people are often cold and ruthless.

Mrs. Hou's Yang family is also well maintained. An old lady in her 50s looks like someone in her 30s. Her skin is fair and delicate. Only the crow's feet around her eyes can't hide her true age.She is like a dried flower pressed in amber, she still looks beautiful and charming, and it can be seen that she must have been a great beauty when she was young.But now it makes people feel that it has been withered for many years, without a trace of freshness of flowers, as if they will fade and wither at any time.

Although there was a smile on her face, Ye Xueying could tell at a glance that the smile was only superficial.A common saying flashed through Ye Xueying's mind: a person who laughs on his face does not smile on his face.There was an elusive look of disgust in the old lady's eyes.
