It was only half a day's journey from Lulin Town. Standing next to the carriage, Lin Xi felt a little emotional for a moment as he looked at this prosperous town that was somewhat similar to the "Phoenix Ancient City" in his previous world.

The official roads of Yunqin all passed close to the towns, so they would not be hindered and would be smoother. Therefore, although he and Uncle Liu had passed through half of the Yunqin Empire before, and they had to go through it again this time, they still had to go through it all the way.

He has never stayed in any big town, so the prosperous Donggang Town at this moment still makes him feel a little novel.

Only half a day's journey away, Lulin Town is a somewhat remote and remote place, but this is already a prosperous hookah place.

Jiang Xiaoyi and Bian Linghan had already gone to another town's official office to report for employment. According to the rules, he had to register with the official office here before returning to Lulin Town in his spare time. Otherwise, he would be considered to have done it deliberately.

Because of the delay, he was dissatisfied with the official position that represented the will of Emperor Yunqin and was punished.

Peng Xiaofeng stood beside Lin Xi.

He is the Xialing Cavalry Guard of the Zhengwu Division's Driving Bureau. Although he is also wearing casual clothes, he is also from the rank of tenth rank. Because he is only twenty-seven years old, even though he took over the responsibility of escorting Lin Xi to Donggang Town only four days ago,

But because they are not far apart in age, the relationship between the two is very good, and they are both familiar with each other's temperament.

"Mr. Lin, you have to take your time and look around. You can also walk in. But my duty is not to go back first." Because Lin X just got off the car and looked at Donggang Town, she said she could let him go back first.

, Peng Xiaofeng shook his head, "At most, I will slowly walk with you to the Governor's Mansion."

Lin Xi knew that although Peng Xiaofeng strictly followed the regulations of Shangfeng, he never inquired about his origins along the way. Moreover, he had previously participated in the entrance examination of Qingluan College. Originally, only the governor of Lu Dongling knew that whether he was admitted or not was kept secret. For a low-level person like Peng Xiaofeng,

The non-commissioned officer would definitely not be able to associate him with the students of Qingluan Academy, but he also knew very well that no matter how stupid Peng Xiaofeng was, he should still be able to see that he was different from ordinary junior officers, and the most normal thinking would definitely distinguish him.

He was associated with the children of some high-ranking officials or deliberately cultivated students. And after contacting him in the past few days, he knew that real Yunqin sergeants like Peng Xiaofeng were not only meticulous in executing orders, but also that people in this world were inherently temperamental.

It is much more rigid, especially the concept of rank and respect is very strong. It is a completely different world from Qingluan Academy. For example, in the past few days, Lin Xi asked him not to call him Mr. Lin, but to call him by his first name. But

However, Peng Xiaofeng still refused to change his words and was very formal.

Seeing the respectful reply from this young soldier of the empire, Lin Xi just nodded and said with a smile: "That's fine, then I'll trouble Brother Peng to accompany me for a while."

Peng Xiaofeng's face suddenly tightened and he said: "Mr. Lin, you are too polite. This is what you should do in a humble position."

…

Lin Xi strolled on the streets of Donggang Town.

I firmly believe that the journey is too long, and Qingluan College is too lofty to be like the human world. However, the Donggang Town now is the real human world, a prosperous world.

Wine shops, pawn shops, teahouses, silk shops, tailor shops, flower houses... Lin Xi was used to the quietness of Qingluan College, and she was a little uncomfortable for a while. However, the familiar accents around her made Lin Xi feel that all this became more real.

Although it is much more prosperous than the quiet Lulin Town, some living habits and food are no different from Lulin Town.

There are spicy pork slices and thick sauce braised noodles that people in Lulin Town like to eat most in the morning, and Lin Xi’s favorite minced meat pancakes.

The street is a bluestone road with non-slip edges carved out. The buildings on both sides of the street are particularly antique to Lin Xi, especially unlike Lulin Town, Donggang Town has a shallow canal on both sides of the street because it is close to the water.

, there is gentle and clear water flowing inside, and in some places where the shallow canals are wider, there are small wooden bridges or stone arch bridges.

Reflecting the shadow of the small bridge and the branches of the trees on the road, there are some green water plants growing inside, and occasionally there are petals blown off by the wind, floating on the water, gliding slowly.

Along the way, there were people washing rice and washing vegetables, or washing some utensils.

Lin Xi happily walked to a pancake shop with a faded sign.

"Brother Peng, do you want to eat this meat pie?"

Smelling the familiar aroma of fried meat cakes, Lin Xi turned around and asked Peng Xiaofeng, who had been following her.

Peng Xiaofeng intuitively wanted to say no, but looking at Lin Xi's interested expression, he nodded as if by mistake and said: "Okay."

Two fried meat patties were immediately stuffed into Peng Xiaofeng's hands. Lin Xi grabbed the two fried meat patties wrapped in paper rolls and ate them slowly before continuing to walk forward.

“The meat is fresh and juicy, but the key is that it doesn’t contain clenbuterol.”

As soon as she thought of these words, Lin Xi's lips suddenly showed another smile.

…

Most of the streets in Donggang Town are close to the river. Many houses and shops are built directly on the water. There are also several large Langfangs along the river, and many stone piers where small fishing boats are docked.

Lin Xi finished eating two fried meat patties and walked leisurely on a street along the river with her hands behind her back. In the distance, there were large thick cloth awnings along the river on the south side. The houses looked stacked on top of each other. I don’t know what kind of market this was.

, reflected in this beautiful landscape, it looked particularly beautiful to him.

On the other side, there is a small island only a few acres square in the middle of the river, and there are several fishing boats casting nets nearby.

While he was standing still looking at this natural painting, he vaguely heard the sound of a quarrel coming from a street in front of him.

Lin Xi was not in a hurry. She wanted to take a good look at the scenery of Donggang Town, so she followed the sound and joined in the fun.

But in front of a noodle shop at the back, which is only across the road from Linjiang Shop, there was an old woman in her fifties with a pale face, trembling, and she looked extremely angry but did not dare to speak out.

It looked like there was a tofu stall next to her, and the broken tofu and juice spilled all over the floor.

A lot of people had gathered around to watch. A young man with an accent that sounded like a foreigner was angrily arguing with a black-faced man wearing a black thin silk shirt. The black-faced man sneered and said nothing.

look.

After just listening to a few words and the whispers around him, Lin Xi already knew roughly that this black-faced man knocked over the tofu basket that the old woman was carrying. Instead of paying compensation, he blamed the old woman.

When he walked carelessly, the load even tore a hole in his silk coat, and he asked the old woman to pay for it.

This young foreigner should be a businessman who happened to be passing by Donggang Town. When he saw him, he couldn't help but come out to complain and demanded compensation from this black-faced man.

Listening to what he said now, it seemed that it was the black-faced man who bumped into the old woman himself, rather than the old woman not noticing him.

"Isn't this person often at Fourth Master Zhu's place... This foreigner will definitely suffer a big loss if he continues to cause trouble."

"Is this person from Fourth Master Zhu?"

"Then hurry up and remind this young man, otherwise he will really suffer a big loss."

At this moment, the voices of several people talking behind him fell into Lin Xi's ears again.

Lin Xi frowned slightly and turned around, only to see an old man carrying two killed fish, a woman carrying a bag full of wet clothes, and a man who looked like the shopkeeper of a nearby shop.

Judging from their accents and clothes, they must be residents of nearby townspeople.

Just as he turned his head, he saw the old man putting the straw rope with the fish in his hand into the hands of the shopkeeper next to him, as if he was about to go up to the foreign young man to talk, but at this moment,

There was an exclamation of surprise, and the young foreigner took a few steps back and almost fell down, but was pushed hard by the black-faced man with a sneer on his face and disdain to answer.

"How dare you come out to meddle in other people's business if you don't have much flesh?" Pushing the young man from a foreign country away, the black-faced man sneered.

The young man's face turned red and he said angrily: "How dare you commit murder in broad daylight? Anyway, if you are unreasonable today, I will take you to see the official."

"I would like to advise you one last time. This matter is beyond your control." The black-faced man looked at the young man from a foreign country with disdain and said, "If you want to pester you again, even if I beat you to the ground, you won't be punished."

People will take care of you."

The old woman who was knocked into the tofu stall also started to pull the foreign young man away, and whispered something anxiously at the same time, but the young man became even more angry and said fiercely: "

I don't know what the reason is, it turns out that there are some powerful local snakes, and I don't believe that under the laws of Yunqin, you are allowed to act so recklessly!"

The dark-faced man's face completely darkened, and he began to show a ferocious look: "It seems you are really tired of living?"

"If you don't..."

The young foreigner took a step forward, but before he could finish what he said, the black-faced man kicked him in the lower abdomen. The kick made him fall to the ground, covering his lower abdomen, and he couldn't even breathe.

Can't breathe.

"snort!"

The dark-faced man sneered contemptuously, turned around and left, but no one stopped him for a moment.

Peng Xiaofeng's face darkened, but before he could make any move, Lin Xi had already stepped forward and said to the black-faced man: "This brother is so majestic, I wonder what his name is?"

"Why, do you want to meddle in other people's business?" The black-faced man looked Lin Xi up and down, and felt that Lin Xi didn't seem to have much background, so he sneered.

"In that case, I will tell you the truth." Lin Xi looked at the black-faced man and said seriously: "You should admit your mistake and pay for it. Even the brother you beat must at least be beaten and compensated according to the law.

, pay three taels of silver, otherwise I will have to drag you to the arresting room."

The dark-faced man glanced at Lin Xi, rolled up his sleeves, and said, "It seems that you also have an itchy bone, and you want me to help you beat it."

"Brother Peng, I need you to do me a favor, but don't call me Master Lin." At this time, Peng Xiaofeng had already walked up from behind, but Lin Xi gave him a tug, whispered something, and then confessed:

"Don't fight back."

Peng Xiaofeng was slightly startled, but with a flash of his eyes, he seemed to understand Lin Xi's intention and walked straight in front of the black-faced man.

"You really think that I, Chen Tong, are easy to mess with."

Seeing Peng Xiaofeng's provocative behavior, the black-faced man made a feint with his hand, and then kicked him hard.

With a "peng" sound, a slightly wet shoe print appeared on Peng Xiaofeng's chest. He groaned and took a few steps back.

"It's just a silver gun wax head." The black-faced man suddenly felt relieved.

But at this moment, Lin Xi smiled, clapped her hands, and said, "Okay, this is enough to detain you for half a year."
