Five Immortals Gate

At this time, Li Yan and his carriage were passing through the long city gate opening. The city gate opening was very long, but there was no moisture inside. The tall and wide design made the city gate opening ventilated, dry, and well-lit. Li Yan and the others walked for dozens of seconds before the carriage left the city gate and arrived inside the city.

Facing the city gate are three roads, all paved with large bluestones. Due to the constant traffic of cars and people walking on them, the roads look shiny and shiny, even the slightly uneven sections on the surface of the bluestones or the gaps between the two bluestones. All appear round and smooth. The middle road is obviously wider than the two roads, so it should be the main road without a doubt. The two forked roads meandered to both sides, and it was unknown where they were going. There are many buildings on both sides of the road, most of which are two or three-story buildings. All kinds of canvases and signs are hung at the door. People come and go, shouts and greetings come and go. Even though it is afternoon, it is still a lively scene.

Pedestrians passed by on the street, and Li Guoxin's carriage naturally drove slowly. Li Yan and the three of them couldn't keep their eyesight while sitting in the carriage, and kept turning their heads around, feeling very fresh. Many have never been seen or heard of.

"Brother Yan, look at the iron railings and counter inside that door. The man outside can only stand on his feet and stretch his face to talk to the small hole. It must be a pawn shop, right?" Li Yu asked when he saw a pawn shop.

"Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu, look at that three-story restaurant. It's so grand and smells so good. I've never smelled it before. Even when the wild boar is roasted, the oil on the wild boar doesn't smell like this. If you come here in the future, If you are an apprentice here, you will be very capable," Li Shan said, pointing to the restaurant he just passed by.

Li Guoxin turned around and said with a smile, "You will live here for a long time in the future. I will watch you, but you must learn your skills well, otherwise you will be driven back to the village. That will be embarrassing. You are going." The place is still ahead.”

Li Yan also felt that his eyes were full of freshness at this time. There were many things that he had never seen before. Some of them he had heard from his father and the people in the village, and some he had never heard of before. He couldn't help but sigh at how vast the outside world was and what he had seen. His shortsightedness.

After the carriage moved forward among the crowd for a while, it stopped at a two-story restaurant. Although this restaurant only had two floors, it had many storefronts. There were seven or eight street-facing storefronts in sequence.

Many, these facades are connected to each other inside, making the lobby particularly wide and bright. At this time, it was not yet time to pick up guests, but there were some guests coming in and out. I think it's the kind of thing you can eat as you go. The restaurant's signboard spans the middle facades, looking very impressive and eye-catching, with the words "Natural Wine House" written on it.

Li Guoxin drove the carriage to the street facade on the far right side of "Natural Wine House", found a stop under a big tree, tied the reins to the tree, then asked Li Yu to get down, and asked Li Yan and Li Shan to stand beside the car. After waiting, he led Li Yu into the middle door. Li Yan and Li Shan stood beside the car and looked at the lively scene on the street. For a while, they stopped talking. In fact, with Li Yu leaving, they also knew that the time of separation had come, and they would live alone in this strange place from now on. The excitement and longing before were gone at this moment. There was only a trace of fear in my heart, a trace of fear like being alone and helpless in a foreign place. They both had their own thoughts and were silent.

After some time, Li Guoxin was seen walking towards the carriage with Li Yu, followed by a fat man in his thirties, wearing a long gown. Several people slowly came to the carriage. Li Guoxin asked Li Yu said, "Take out the gift," then turned to the fat middle-aged man and said with a smile, "Manager Li, I will take this contract back to the child's parents, and leave the child here. I hope Manager Li will take care of it." For the sake of my fellow ancestors, I will take care of you more in the future, and Li would like to thank me here." After speaking, he cupped his fists and saluted Manager Li.

There was also a smile on Guanshi Li's fat face, "Don't be polite, Guoxin. You and I are the same elders, so we should take care of ourselves. Don't worry about this baby here. As long as he can endure hardships, he will have many children in the future." Make a living".

Li Guoxin waved to Li Yuyi and said, "Follow your uncle. In the future, you must be more diligent, your hands and feet must be agile, and you must ask more questions and do more when you encounter problems."

Li Yu had already walked away and saluted, and with choked sobs said to Li Yan and Li Shan, "Brother Yan, Brother Shan, come and see me when you have time." After saying that, I felt like crying.

Li Yan and Li Shan also squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying and answered respectively.

"Okay, I'll come over and see you when I have time."

"Xiaoyu, do your job well, and Brother Shan will come to eat the food you cooked."

When Manager Li saw this, he smiled and said, "Let's go." After saying that, he bowed his hands to Li Guoxin and turned around to walk towards the wine shop. Li Yu followed him with a salute, turned around after a few steps, followed reluctantly, and finally disappeared into the concierge.

At this time, Li Guoxin also called the two of them to get on the carriage, untied the reins from the tree, and after sitting on the shaft, he said to the two of them, "A man, don't be such a son and a daughter. You are here to learn your skills. Once you have learned your skills, take care of your parents." That's where the man comes." After saying that, he drove forward without looking at the two of them.

The carriage continued to move forward, and after turning a few more turns, it also stopped at a place called "Iron Pavilion". Just like before, Li Shan was asked to get out of the car and follow him, leaving only Li Yan alone. Beside the car. After a period of time, Li Guoxin and Li Shan also came back, but this time they were followed by two people. One of them was over ten feet tall and bare-chested. His muscles were stronger than Li Guoxin's. They glowed black in the sun. As soon as the hand moved, the muscles began to beat piece by piece, like a mouse jumping on the body. This man had thick eyebrows and ringed eyes, and he was about forty years old. Next to him was a young boy who was about the same age as Li Shan, but this boy was also stout, had big hands and feet, and was a bit thicker than Li Shan.

Later, Li Yan learned that this person was the master of the family, his name was Lu Kui. He was an expert in making weapons and equipment. Whether it was forging ordnance or making farm tools, he was unparalleled in the city. He also often served as a garrison for the army. The army repairs ordnance. The one next to him is his great disciple Liang Shi. What happened next was just like what Li Yu had done before. After explaining some words, Li Shan said goodbye to Li Guoxin and Li Yan with red eyes and followed the two men away.

The boy experienced several partings in one day, and his mood was extremely low at this time.

Li Guoxin looked up at the sky and said to Li Yan, "We have to go to the school martial arts field as soon as possible. It should be Shen Shi at this time. If it is later, it may be tomorrow." Li Yan quickly gathered his mood and nodded in agreement. He was now surrounded by Li Yu and Li Shan two people

\u003c/di\u003e

The previous appearance also made me think a lot, and I missed my parents, brother and sister a little. But I also know that at this time I can only take one step and see what the future holds. The future is confusing and unknown.

Li Guoxin took Li Yan and drove to a place quickly. Not long after, they arrived at a gate surrounded by a high courtyard wall. Li Yan saw that the courtyard wall extended in an arc to both sides. As far as he could see, he still couldn't see the entire scope. He thought that the courtyard wall must be huge. Li Guoxin parked the carriage farther away and tied it to a hitching post, where many horses and carriages were already tied, and then led Li Yan towards the gate.

At this time, there were more than a dozen soldiers guarding the gate with weapons, and there were also a dozen young people and a dozen people who seemed to be escorts lined up at the door. When these people saw the two of them coming, they were not too surprised. They just glanced here at the same time and then turned to look at the soldiers at the gate.

When the two of them arrived at the gate, a soldier came over and asked, "Are you here to participate in the recruitment of the Guards?"

Li Guoxin pointed at Li Yan, then bowed and replied, "Yes, Master Jun, he is participating in the examination."

The soldier pointed to Li Yan with his hand and said, "Just right, then come over and go in with this group of people."

Li Yan quickly stepped forward and followed the soldier to stand at the back of the dozen young men.

After seeing them standing, the soldier turned to Li Guoxin and the others, pointed to one side and said, "You guys go over there and wait. It is estimated that the results will be out around You hour."

Only then did Li Guoxin notice that far away on the other side of the gate, there were many dark people sitting on the ground or standing somewhere looking over here. He thought these must be the escorts who had arrived earlier.

Looking at it this way, there should be a lot of people participating in the recruitment this time. After all, the duties of the Guards this time still made many villagers tempted.

Li Guoxin looked at Li Yan, and Li Yan also looked at him. Li Guoxin pointed at the place and then at himself, indicating where he was waiting for him. Li Yan nodded to express his understanding. Li Guoxin walked to the waiting area with the dozen or so people from before.
