Chapter 1784 Is this fate?
At this moment, a heavy and long dull sound came from the front. Nan Yan hurriedly raised her head and saw that the city gate was slowly opening.
Nan Yan was delighted: It’s done!
There was no extra expression on Zhu Feng's face. He just winked at Fang Buyuan, who then waved his hand and ordered the team to head into the city.
However, just as they were about to set off, suddenly, behind them, in the wasteland where there was almost nothing but the sound of the wind, the sound of horse hooves suddenly rang out.
Who comes at this time?
Zhu Feng and Nan Yan both looked back subconsciously.
I saw a cloud of snow dust rising on the distant horizon. When the snow dust settled, some black figures gradually approached. Upon closer inspection, they were a group of people.
There were about forty or fifty people in this group, all of them men. However, their faces were not very clear because they were all wearing thick fur blankets with the fur side worn outside, almost blending in with the surrounding snowy scenery. Everyone also wore a hat on his face, covering most of his face, with only his eyes exposed.
They just glanced at Zhu Feng and his team, without saying much, and rushed straight into Bailong City.
The warriors at the city gate did not stop them.
Seeing this scene, Nan Yan's expression froze slightly, and she murmured: "This——"
Zhu Feng turned around and looked at her: "What's wrong?"
Nan Yan said, "Your Majesty, do you remember that before we arrived at Shazhouwei, I saw a group of people on the way, but then they disappeared."
"Um?"
Zhu Feng raised his eyebrows.
He recalled that when they were halfway on the road, it was windy and snowy, and Nan Yan did say that she saw some people and horses in the wind and snow. He was very surprised at the time and specially asked Ying Shao to take people and horses to search.
But nothing was found.
He said, "I remember. What's wrong?"
Nan Yan looked at the group of people and said, "They seem to be the group of people I saw at that time."
"oh?"
Hearing this, Zhu Feng was a little stunned.
At that time, they all thought she had seen it wrong, even Nan Yan herself thought she had seen it wrong.
I felt a little sorry that Yingshao and the others had made a wasted trip.
But I didn't expect that there really was such a group of people, and they came from Bailong City.
Nan Yan said, "I just don't know what they are doing running around like this outside."
Zhu Feng said, "Let's go into the city and ask around, and we'll find out."
"Um."
Their convoy continued to move forward and finally passed through the tall city gate.
As soon as you enter the city gate, the situation inside changes completely.
Outside the city, just across the gate, is a snowy wasteland. Apart from the sound of the wind, there is almost no human voice, let alone any human habitation. It is like the most primitive and barbaric world.
However, inside the city just across the gate, it was extremely bustling. As soon as they entered the city, they saw the wide street in front of them, which could accommodate several carriages side by side, leading all the way to the front, a distance that they could not see.
On both sides of the road, there are almost all shops.
Rows of shops filled all the streets and houses, leaving not even a vacant space under a roadside tree. Small vendors would spread out a leather mat and display all kinds of children's toys for sale.
Most of the pedestrians on the street were peddlers, carrying their goods on their shoulders and hawking their wares along the street. Their voices were full of different accents from all over the world, and there were even some languages that the peddlers could not understand at all.
The people who spoke these words that they could not understand looked very different from the people in the Central Plains. These people had high noses and deep eyes, and some even had golden hair. Under the sunlight, they looked like they were wearing golden hats, which was surprising.
Nan Yan's eyes widened as she watched, and she had already forgotten about what happened to that group of people.
“Here—”
Zhu Feng also looked around in some surprise.
In his dream, if he could bring prosperity to the Great Yan Dynasty, then the cities in the dynasty should be like this, with people coming and going, bustling and lively, everyone can manage their own world, and everyone can enjoy abundance.
Such prosperity and wealth could never have been achieved by Emperor Gao closing his doors and allowing only farmers to guard their own land.
He looked at everything around him and murmured, "This is White Dragon City."
Nan Yan watched for a while, and suddenly felt that his tone was a little strange. She turned her head to look at Zhu Feng, and then said softly: "What is the emperor thinking about?"
Zhu Feng looked down at her.
Seeing that her eyes were shining as she looked at herself.
So he smiled faintly: "You know what I am thinking."
“…”
"Let's get down to business first."
"Why."
Nan Yan nodded, but when she came to her senses and wanted to look at the group of people she had just met, she found that they had disappeared.
She said, "Oh, they're all gone."
Zhu Feng said, "It's okay. It's in this city anyway. You can find out by just asking around."
"That's right."
So the two of them instructed Xiao Shunzi.
When Xiao Shunzi went out, he had already changed into a servant's attire, looking no different from any other passerby. He walked to the side of the street and randomly found a vendor and asked, "Excuse me, big brother, who were that group of people who just passed by?"
The vendor was buying carrots, peppers and other things from the West.
Judging from his appearance, he has a high nose and deep eyes, but he also looks a bit like people from the Central Plains. I think he is of mixed race. He can also understand Chinese and said, "Those people, those are all from the Xue family."
“…”
When these words were spoken, Zhu Feng and Nan Yan in the carriage were stunned.
Especially Nanyan.
She subconsciously reached into her sleeve and took out the note Xue Ling gave her. There were a few words written on it. After Bailong City, there were the words "Xue Family".
She came here based on this clue.
She accidentally saw the group of people she had seen in the snow before, and just asked casually, but unexpectedly, she asked the right question.
That group of people turned out to be from the Xue family.
Is this fate?
Zhu Feng and Nan Yan looked at each other, then winked at Xiao Shunzi, who then continued to ask, "What does the Xue family do?"
When the peddler heard this, he looked Xiao Shunzi up and down, then looked at their carriage and their entourage.
Then he said, "You guys are not from here, right?"
"Yes, I'm new here."
"The Xue family is the largest medicinal herb merchant in Bailong City. All the medicinal herbs coming from the south and the north must pass through their hands."
"So powerful? What do these people do? They can come and go like this without being checked?"
