Unrivaled in Immortality
Chapter 33 Gathering in the Imperial City
Wang Yong stood at the foot of the city wall in the Mu Kingdom Imperial City, looking up.
The towering city wall, with a faint golden light flowing on it, and the city gate was as high as a hill. The first impression Wang Yong had was luxury, the ultimate luxury.
Following the long queue to the city gate, Wang Yong paid three spirit stones as an entrance fee and entered the city.
Three spirit stones may not seem like much, but if thousands of people paid three spirit stones, Wang Yong could not help but feel a little jealous, but soon gave up the idea. Not to mention whether he could snatch it, he was afraid that as long as he took action, he would be bombed into slag without even ashes left.
Entering the city, the buildings in the city seemed sparse and ordinary compared to the city gate. Wang Yong knew that he was only in the outer city.
The Mu Kingdom Imperial City was divided into the outer city, the inner city and the center.
The outer city was a mixed bag of poor people, rich gentry, etc.; the inner city was mostly inhabited by Mu Kingdom officials; the central area was where the Mu Kingdom royal family lived.
Wang Yong was not in a hurry to meet up with Li Jun and the others. He wanted to get familiar with the place first.
Wandering on the street, there were many small vendors here, and Wang Yong would buy anything he was interested in.
During this period, Wang Yong also inquired about the "Zhang Mansion" mentioned by Li Jun and concluded that the outer city was not qualified to name the mansion with a surname, so the "Zhang Mansion" mentioned by Li Jun was in the inner city, and the inner city was mostly where officials lived, so Zhang Fan's father was still an official.
Such a discovery surprised Wang Yong. Zhang Fan, as a "second-generation official", was actually protected by Li Jun, a cultivator with the third level of Qi Condensation. Of course, Wang Yong didn't know how many people were secretly protected.
"Since I have almost found out, let's go to the inner city to take a look." Wang Yong said secretly.
He walked up, shuttled through the crowd, and headed towards the inner city.
Finally, he saw the wall of the inner city. This wall was not comparable to the one outside, but the golden light on the wall seemed much more solid, and the defensive effect must be better than the outer one.
There were fewer people here, and no one was idle and wandering around.
Wang Yong walked along the wall until he saw the gate of the inner city.
Compared with the outer gate, the people here seemed sparse, but to enter the city from here, a token was presented instead of paying spirit stones. Seeing this, Wang Yong still planned to go forward and take a look.
He walked up to the soldiers guarding the city and bowed first, then asked: "I see that you need a token to enter the inner city. May I ask how to get a token."
The man saw that Wang Yong was quite polite, looked at him and said: "The token needs to have a certain contribution in the outer city, which will be issued by the outer city government, or pay 300 spirit stones in exchange for the token."
"Thank you." Wang Yong turned around and left without saying much.
The man glanced at Wang Yong, but didn't take it to heart, and continued to do his job well.
Wang Yong walked for a while before he stopped and looked at the inner city behind him, thinking: "Let's wait and see, if it doesn't work, I'll find a way to get in touch with Li Jun and the others."
At this time, an old voice sounded beside Wang Yong: "Excuse me, is it Brother Wang Jie?"
Wang Yong turned his head and saw an old man appeared beside him at some point. Wang Yong was secretly shocked and answered with a bow: "Yes, I wonder who you are?"
"Yes, it's OK, follow me, you will know when you get there." The old man did not answer Wang Yong, but went towards the gate of the inner city.
Wang Yong watched the old man move forward, but did not keep up, just stood there and watched.
The old man walked a few steps, then looked back at Wang Yong, and couldn't help but said with some laughter: "You know Li Jun, he asked me to come."
Wang Yong smiled when he heard it: "If I had said that Brother Li asked me to come, it wouldn't be so troublesome." He followed him while saying it.
Seeing Wang Yong go back, the soldiers guarding the city gate did not say much. They just saw that Wang Yong came with the old man, which made the guards at the city gate confused. If they knew him, they should have told him earlier. They could have gone in just by saying so. Why did they make so much trouble? Everyone complained in their hearts.
The old man walked straight in without showing a token or anything. Wang Yong followed behind him and the soldiers guarding the city did not stop him. He entered the inner city easily.
Entering the inner city, Wang Yong clearly felt that the spiritual power here was a little stronger than that of the outer city. Wang Yong took a deep breath and planned to ask the old man in front.
The old man seemed to sense Wang Yong's doubts and took the initiative to say: "Someone in our Zhang family is an official in the court, so we have some right to live in the inner city. Master Zhang Fan and Li Jun came back from outside and told me that they had a good friend who would come to see them in the next few days and asked me to meet him at the gate of the inner city."
"Oh, then how are you sure it's mine?" Wang Yong looked at the old man and asked casually.
"Because I have seen your portrait, but I always feel that you in the portrait are missing something compared to the real you, so I asked you that question at the beginning." The old man seemed to open up his chatterbox and took the initiative to speak, and he said a lot more.
"Then thank you, old man." Wang Yong bowed slightly.
"Haha, no need to be so polite, if you like, just call me Uncle Fu, let's go and take you to meet Master Zhang Fan and others." Uncle Fu touched the sparse beard on his chin and smiled.
Wang Yong replied "OK" and stopped talking and concentrated on his journey.
Wang Yong noticed that the streets in the inner city were much cleaner than those in the outer city, and there were fewer small vendors.
The outer city gave Wang Yong a feeling of chaos, and although the inner city was only a rough pass, it gave Wang Yong a feeling of order.
"I didn't expect that there would be such a big difference just by a city wall." Wang Yong thought secretly.
"We're here." Uncle Fu's voice sounded, and Wang Yong came back to his senses. He saw a mansion gate in front of him. There was a plaque above the door with the words "Zhang Mansion" written on it, which was very low-key. There were two stone lions at the door, and there were two guards on the left and right. After seeing that the visitor was Uncle Fu, they let him pass.
Entering it, a rockery came into view, and then followed Uncle Fu into the courtyard on the left. After turning around, they finally arrived at their destination.
"Young Master Wang, you can go in by yourself. I'll take my leave first." Uncle Fu said to Wang Yong and left.
Wang Yong knocked on the small door in front of him until Uncle Fu's back disappeared.
"Who is it?" A crisp voice sounded, and then the door was opened, and a girl dressed as a maid looked at Wang Yong in confusion.
"I am Wang Jie, and I know your young master. I came in to keep the appointment." Wang Yong said to the maid with a smile.
"You are Wang Jie, come in." After the maid finished speaking, she trotted towards a peach tree in the yard, under which were Zhang Fan and the other man.
The maid ran and shouted, "Sir, Wang Jie is here."
Zhang Fan stood up immediately after hearing this, and waved to Wang Yong, saying, "Brother Wang." Li Jun also stood up and greeted Wang Yong.
The three of them seemed to have a tacit understanding, and no one said much. Wang Yong stayed here, and would stroll around the inner city with Zhang Fan and Li Jun when he had time.
