c170 Entering the ruins city

A magnificent ruined city appeared in front of Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan had traveled through many cities and encountered some abandoned villages and towns, but he had never seen such a city that had fallen into ruins but was still prosperous.

The scale of this ruined city was much larger than that of Nanxun Prefecture City.

This was Xiaxu!

To its northwest was the majestic Taiwu Mountain, which stretched for thousands of miles. A large river originating from the depths of the mountains rushed from north to south, and the geographical location was extremely advantageous.

To the east and southeast of Xiaxu were plains where countless fields and farms had been reclaimed.

Villages were scattered all over the place, and together with the settlements around the city, they formed the so-called outer ruins!

Because Zhang Yuan was located at a relatively high altitude, he could overlook the entire ruined city and the outer ruins.

He found that there were almost no tall buildings inside and outside this ancient capital, and most of the houses were weathered and had existed for many years, looking dilapidated and old.

In the center of the ruined city stood a broken tower, silently telling of the disaster it had encountered.

But even in such a nearly ruined city, the streets and alleys are crowded with people, and countless fireworks are rising!

“It is not allowed to build high-rise buildings in Xiaxu. This is the rule.”

Mu Guangcheng obviously saw Zhang Yuan’s doubts and explained: “And the new house cannot be more than two stories high, but there is no vacant land in the city to build new houses. If you want to live in it, you can only buy it from others.”

“There is no government here, no need to perform corvée, and no need to pay head tax.”

The caravan leader stared at Xiaxu and said in a deep voice: “But it is not easy to survive.”

He looked at Zhang Yuan again: “Brother Zhao Yun, if you want to develop in Xiaxu, fighting alone is completely impossible.”

“It is best to join a force!”

Join a force?

Zhang Yuan smiled and said: “I understand, thank you Brother Mu for your advice.”

Mu Guangcheng once told him that Xiaxu is divided into five inner and outer ruins in the southeast, northwest, and central, and is called the “Six Ruins”.

And the six ruins are divided and occupied by large and small gangs.

Then these forces sent representatives to form the so-called “Holy Ruins Alliance”.

The Holy Ruins Alliance is not only a tool for the major forces to compete for interests, but also used to mediate and balance conflicts between each other.

Maintain the internal and external stability of this huge ruins city.

However, despite the existence of the Holy Ruins Alliance, the open and secret struggles between different forces have never disappeared.

Sometimes it is particularly fierce and cruel!

Of course, finding a big force as a backer is the fastest way to gain a foothold in Xiaxu.

Mu Guangcheng knew that Zhang Yuan was very powerful, and the suggestion he made was also out of goodwill.

However, Zhang Yuan’s experience in the Whale Gang made him no longer interested in these rivers and lakes forces.

He just wanted to find a safe place to practice well and strive for a higher level of martial arts!

“Brother Mu.”

Zhang Yuan clasped his fists to Mu Guangcheng and saluted: “Thank you for bringing me here, let’s say goodbye!”

Mu Guangcheng was stunned at first, and then returned the salute: “Take care!”

It is common for children of the rivers and lakes to meet by chance and to gather and separate by fate.

The caravan leader had been through a lot and was used to separation and reunion. Therefore, although he felt a little regretful and reluctant, he did not force Zhang Yuan to stay.

“See you later!”

Zhang Yuan waved his whip, and the horse under his crotch immediately rushed down the hill and galloped towards the ruins city in front.

There are three gates in Xiaxu, and Zhang Yuan went to the east gate.

Interestingly.

Although this majestic city has tall walls, the gates of the city gates do not exist.

The city gates are completely open, and there is no obstruction to the inside and outside.

And there are no guards or soldiers collecting taxes at the gates where people come and go.

Zhang Yuan noticed that whether it was a lone knight or a group of merchants, they all dismounted at the gates.

Or they led the horses or sat on the shafts of the carts to enter the city.

This is obviously the rule of Xiaxu!

Zhang Yuan had just arrived, and his head was not taken away by the steppe wolf, so he naturally followed the local customs and dismounted and walked.

At the city gate, he saw all kinds of notices posted on the weathered city wall.

Some were for finding objects and people, and some were wanted for bounties.

Zhang Yuan glanced at them hastily and found no bounty for himself.

This is actually normal.

Xiaxu is not within the territory of Daqian, and it is thousands of miles away from Qingyun Temple. Even if the latter issued a bounty, it would not be delivered here within ten days or half a month.

But it is better to be safe than sorry, and you have to hide yourself well no matter where you are!

Zhang Yuan’s mind turned quickly, then he retracted his gaze and calmly entered this magnificent and peculiar city.

Xiaxu is much more lively than outside. The dusty streets are bustling with people, and the hawking and soliciting of customers from the shops on both sides are one after another, impacting everyone’s eardrums.

And here, warriors account for a large proportion of the people.

And even ordinary people are mostly tough and strong.

Even women, there are still not many gentle and delicate ones!

Zhang Yuan noticed that almost everyone was carrying weapons such as swords, daggers, and bows.

“Catch the thief!”

Suddenly, a roar came from the front.

The crowd quickly parted, and a young man in a cloth shirt ran away, followed by a burly man.

Zhang Yuan quietly stepped aside, leaving space for the two to play cat and mouse.

The cloth-shirted boy flew past him, and his skills were actually quite good.

The burly man chased him angrily, but as a result, the distance became farther and farther away, and he could no longer catch up.

“This young man…”

At this time, someone suddenly came up to Zhang Yuan and said with a charming smile: “Do you want to stay? My guest room is clean and comfortable, and there is a beautiful girl to serve you. I guarantee your satisfaction!”

Zhang Yuan: “…”

The customer was an old lady, who was extremely smeared with makeup and powder, and stared at Zhang Yuan with greedy eyes.

Zhang Yuan is really speechless – does he look like a drifter?

Zhang Yuan ignored the other party and continued to move forward while holding the horse.

The old lady was not willing to give in, and kept chattering for a while, and finally left cursing.

“Master, please do me a favor and reward me with a copper!”

As a result, the old madam who was soliciting customers was driven away, and a group of beggars appeared from nowhere.

They surrounded Zhang Yuan and begged.

Some people even secretly reached out to touch the pockets hanging on the side of the saddle.

“roll!”

Zhang Yuan’s eyes flashed and he shouted angrily!

These clinging beggars were immediately frightened, and looked at Zhang Yuan with fear in their eyes.

They realized that Zhang Yuan could not be bullied and immediately dispersed.

He disappeared into the crowd.

What a mess!

Zhang Yuan shook his head.

It’s not that he has no sympathy, but he can’t have any sympathy for these beggars who are obviously controlled by others.

Otherwise, you will be pestered to no end!
