The Journey of King Arthur

More than a month later, Xiao Yan, Nalan Yanran and Yun Yun also took the child to inquire about the news, but until now they have not found the location of Ming and Anxia Gorge. Now they have come to a city, which looks very prosperous on the surface. The city lord of this city is a Nine Star Douhuang, much worse than the Douzong powerhouses that Xiao Yan encountered.

But this is understandable, because this is the outer area of ​​Zhongzhou. It is completely understandable that the city lord in the outer area is not as powerful as the city lord closer to the inside.

Now they are walking on the street. Xiao Yan walked in front with a cold expression, looking left and right from time to time. If they see something they like, they will go forward to buy it, and they never bargain, so they buy things very neatly.

When Yun Yun saw Xiao Yan buying something like this, she didn't want to say much, although sometimes she wanted to remind Xiao Yan that she was cheated when buying something in that store. The price sold by the store to Xiao Yan was obviously much higher than the market price.

But Xiao Yan was moving too fast, and she didn't have time to remind her. When Xiao Yan finished buying or was determined to buy it, Yun Yun was embarrassed to speak, so she had to shut up.

If she was feeling a little sad, she might rub the little girl in her arms. Until now, the little girl is still well-behaved, does not cry or make a fuss, and looks very sensible, but she doesn't like to talk. She looks like an autistic child, which makes Yun Yun and the others worry and want to enlighten the child, but they don't know what happened in the child's past, nor do they know how to comfort her.

As for Nalan Yanran, Yun Yun walked side by side. On the street, if you see something fun or something like candied haws, you will buy it very simply. If you want to make the little girl happy, the little girl will only say thank you obediently and say thank you more, sister, I like it very much.

Although I saw the little girl so sensible and so polite, for some reason, Nalan Yanran always felt like she was perfunctory by the child.

During this period, Nalan Yanran also wanted to take care of the child by watching various parenting manuals. Then, Nalan Yanran said that it was useless to read it. No matter how Nalan Yanran did, she would not be able to get the child into the trap.

The child was like usual, doing whatever he should do, without any change, and would not ask them for anything.

And just as the four were wandering around, they turned into an alley. The reason was simple. They noticed someone was following them and sent them a friendly message.

So they wanted to meet the person who had been following them.

At this time, a man with a gray-white hairstyle and a pure black mask appeared in front of them, and the man also bowed to them very respectfully.

"Dear lords, the city lord wants to invite a few adults to go to the city lord's mansion for lunch. I wonder how many adults can give you a treat?"

The man's tone was humble and respectful.

"What are your opinions?"

Xiao Yan turned his head to the side and there was Yun Yun.

"Whatever you want."

Nalan Yanlan's tone was full of indifference, and Yun Yun nodded, without saying a word, just holding the child in her arms with one hand, while taking out a tissue to wipe the child's face.

The child just ate and his face was dirty, so he had to wipe it clean.

For some reason, Yun Yun, as a master, is now becoming less and less in existence and less dominant.

"Can."

After Xiao Yan got the others' no objection, he agreed very neatly. After all, the three strong men in the eyes of the city lord, that is, the three Douhuangs in the eyes of the city lord, appeared in his city, and it was impossible for the city lord not to attract the attention of the city lord. It was normal for the city lord to send someone to find them.

Everything is for peace of mind and peace of mind.

Xiao Yan does not reject these things.

And it just so happened that Xiao Yan could take this opportunity to explain to the city lord why they came to this city. He could also ask Master Chen where Ming and Anxia Gorge is? By the way, he went to their place for a meal at noon, but they didn't go empty-handed. Anyway, Xiao Yan had a lot of medicinal wine in hand, so he could just give it some wine as a gift, and he could taste it at the table, although Xiao Yan, who is currently dressed as Diluke, can only drink grape juice.

Following this entourage to the city lord's mansion, the city lord was already standing outside the gate and waiting for a long time. Seeing him standing in the center of the gate with a smile on his face, he stretched out his hand to Xiao Yan.

"Hello, I am the lord of the Black and White City, Baihei."

"Hello, I'm Diluke from Mond."

Xiao Yan also stretched out his hand and shook symbolically with the strangely named Black and White City Lord Bai Hei, and then quickly let go.

Then Baihei turned his eyes to Nalan Yanran and Yun Yun. There was no impoliteness in his eyes, and he didn't even have any appreciation for beauty. He just looked at them very simply.

This look made Nalan Yanran and the others feel very comfortable, and they also developed some favors for the White and Black City Lord.

"The one holding the child is Beigong Lin, and the other is her apprentice Gui Hailan. We are currently considered travelers traveling together."

"So that's it. I'm glad to meet two of you. Where is that child?"

After receiving Xiao Yan's answer, the White and Hei City Lord immediately greeted Nalan Yanran and Yun Yun, and then began to ask the little girl's name.

"Yanyin, this is my name."

When everyone heard what the little girl said, everyone looked at the little girl, and Xiao Yan also showed a slightly surprised expression on his face. He couldn't believe that the little girl would actually say his name at this time. Was it clear that she was out of sight or for other reasons?

Xiao Yan didn't know.

But they now know the girl's name.

Flame yin.

It can be considered a very good harvest, and it is not a loss at all.

When he heard this name, the expression on Nalan Yanran's face became unbeautiful instantly. Xiao Yan is now because he cannot see the future, and no one has told him, so he has no idea what Yan's surname represents. But Nalan Yanran has already recorded the general content of the entire Dou Bang Cangqiu.

Nalan Yanran knows very well the strange surname Yan, Yan clan, one of the eight major clans. Although there are not many scenes in the plot, it is definitely one of the top major forces on the mainland. Could it be that this child is from the Yan clan?

Just as Nalan Yanran was thinking, Xiao Yan had already entered the hall with the city lord and sat in the guest room very simply. Nalan Yanran followed and sat down one by one.

After sitting down, the White and Hei City Lord said some polite words before everyone started to eat.

Halfway through the meal, Xiao Yan consciously put down the dishes, because he estimated that the White and Black City Lord should have to talk about the serious business. The conversation at the dinner table is usually like this. Eat half or half first, or after some of it, then everyone starts to talk about things. If the agreement is completed and continue to eat, everyone happily ate the remaining food. If it is not completed, there is no need to continue eating.

At this time, the White Black City Lord also stood up, showed a complimentary smile on his face, held a glass of wine in his hand, toasted Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran, and then drank it on his own.

"I welcome you again here, but I don't know what you came to this place for? If I landed correctly, the area around us is relatively barren, and nothing major is going to happen. I don't know what attracted you."

"We are just looking for a place called Minghanxia, ​​Baihei City Lord, have you heard of this place Minghanxia?"

"Oh? Ming and Shadow Gorge?"

Seeing the White Black City Lord showing an interesting and even thoughtful expression, Xiao Yan felt mixed feelings. If the White Black City Lord really knew where the Ming and Ancient Gorge was, it means that the journey was almost stopped. Once the journey stopped, Xiao Yan's time to make money by Nalan Yanran might be over. Although both sides still have to leave together, they will still have to separate.

This is the first time Xiao Yan is reluctant to part with Nalan Yanran. It is not because of Nalan Yanran's beauty. Xiao Yan is just simply jealous of the buff on Nalan Yanran. In the past half month, Xiao Yan has relied on this buff to brush a lot of things. Now that there is no such convenient tool for money purchase in the future, Xiao Yan will naturally feel reluctant to give up.

But when the child got the information from his home, no matter how he looked at it, it was good news. He should be happy for the child.

Therefore, Xiao Yan is now jumping wildly between sentimentality and rationality, or between good thoughts and greed, quite entangled, whether he should be happy or unhappy.

But although he was confused, the corners of his mouth still raised slightly, and he responded with a slightly anxious speed and asked quickly: "Look at the Lord of White and Hei City, have you heard of this so-called bright and dark gorge?"

"I have never heard of the so-called bright and dark gorge, nor have I seen the so-called bright and dark gorge, nor do I know its specific location, whether it is near my city."

Looking at the White Hei City Lord, shaking his head with a wry smile, Xiao Yan could also notice that the other party was not lying. The originally entangled emotions in his heart immediately calmed down. Since there was no news, there was no need to continue to entangle. Then, when Xiao Yan had just given up the entangled thoughts and was about to relax his heart, the city lord who was breathing said another sentence that almost made Xiao Yan want to beat the city lord.

Damn it! Don’t breathe heavily when you speak?!!!

"Although I may not know about Ming and Anxia, ​​my people, or some of my friends, may know."

"Really?!!"

When Nalan Yanran, who was originally in a low mood, had his eyes immediately shone. Nalan Yanran did not have as many thoughts as Xiao Yan. Since she has determined to send the child back, she will naturally care about this matter. It is naturally the best to send it back early. Nalan Yanran is naturally happy.

"Of course it's true."

The White Black City Lord showed a very bright smile, which was extremely contagious.

"Everyone, do you know some of the key locations in this area around us and the names of the city?"

"I don't know, can you say there is something strange about this name?"

Xiao Yan asked a question in a slightly interested tone, and Xiao Yan's question was quickly answered.

"Well, let me say that. When people in our area name a certain place, a certain city, or a certain village, they usually use opposite words or characters to name that place, such as the Black and White City where I live, and some of my friends and their cities are named in the same way, such as the left and right cities and square cities, and even a brother whose city has a very long name, but it is still named in the opposite meaning like this, and its meaning is also unknown. His city is called the City of the Strong and the Weak."

This name is indeed a little unrecognizable...

Xiao Yan couldn't help but complain in his heart. When he heard the names of these cities, Xiao Yan said that he was indeed an eye-opener. What a name that only a despicable person could think of. Could it be that the rest of the people were named despicable?

If you think about it carefully, it is not impossible, especially this White Hei City Lord. If you guessed correctly, this city lord should have the surname Bai and his name is Hei. I don’t know what his father thought so that he gave White Hei City Lord such a name.

The White Hei City Lord, who saw Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran, did not feel embarrassed, but continued to explain, looking like he had been used to it for a long time, and didn't know what the White Hei City Lord had encountered before.

"In short, in our place, the naming is named after the opposite meaning. When you hear Mr. Diluke, the Ming and Yin Gorge you mentioned, we can almost understand it. After all, this naming method is indeed very similar to the naming method of the people on our side. Therefore, we will send people to inquire about the location of Ming and Yin Gorge. If you find information, you will definitely tell Mr. Diluke!"

"That's really a great thank you, Lord Baihei City, this is a little gift from me, please accept it."

After saying that, Xiao Yan took out a wooden box with an exquisite appearance from his portable space. Inside the box was three bottles of wine covered with wool, and a beautiful knot was tied to the three bottles of wine.

Before the White and Black City Lord could react, Xiao Yan took out another bottle of wine from his portable space and decisively pulled out the wine plug. Suddenly, a scent of wine swelled into everyone's noses.

As for Xiao Yan, he handed the wine to the servants and asked the servants to give the wine to everyone. Of course, Xiao Yan poured himself a glass, and that glass was grape juice.

At this moment, the Lord of White Black City felt that he might have vaguely received a good thing. Although it is not extremely precious, it is indeed extraordinary and is indeed very suitable for use as a gift.
