Chapter 818: Riding a Horse

"Forget it, forget it. Anyway, we are almost at Lanjiang City. If we use our Tongbao sparingly, it should be enough for ten days. When we get to Lanjiang City, are you still afraid that I won't be able to get money?"

"It's hard for me, but no one will reward me..."

Chu Yang sighed deliberately, and his eyes couldn't stop peeking in the direction of the two girls.

Su Yue couldn't stand Chu Yang's gaze, her pretty face suddenly turned red, and she said coquettishly: "What kind of hardship are you talking about? It's just a few days of being on the boat. It's no big deal... no big deal..."

"Yue'er, what are you talking about!"

Jiang Xiaoyuan, who was originally fine, blushed when he heard Su Yue's words. After a few people were playing and fighting, they finally arrived in front of Lanjiang City.

When they really arrived in front of Lanjiang City, Chu Yang could see the majesty of Lanjiang City.

"This is more than several times taller than Huayang City!"

Several people couldn't help but marvel.

After watching for a while, the two women of Sujiang took out their veils to cover their faces, and then walked towards the city gate with Chu Yang.

But before they reached the city gate, someone shouted.

"Stop, do you have a pass?"

Hearing the voice, he saw two men with the word "tax" printed on their chests walking towards him in front of the city gate. It seemed that the two women of Suyue were wearing veils, and their eyes were more vigilant.

Probably prepared, listening to the man's voice, Chu Yang directly took out a red booklet and handed it to the other party: "This is the pass issued by the City Lord's Mansion of Huayang City."

Seeing that there was a pass, the two men's expressions slowed down, checked it, and found that there was no problem, so they said: "Each person can enter after paying a city entry tax of 20 Tongbao."

Chu Yang knew about this when he was chatting with Hua Yan, so he paid the tax and entered the city smoothly.

When they really entered the city, the difference between Lanjiang City and Huayang City was deeply felt.

This is not just a difference in architectural style. Compared with Huayang City, the streets on both sides can be described as busy and bustling with pedestrians.

However, those pedestrians were all in a hurry, and seemed to have no interest in the things around them.

Chu Yang had only seen this kind of situation in those first-tier cities in China. This also shows that the people in Lanjiang City are under great pressure in life, so much so that they have no time to take care of other things and can only be busy with their livelihoods.

After Chu Yang told Su Yue and the others about this phenomenon, they observed it again and it was indeed as Chu Yang said.

According to common sense, if the two female protagonists wearing veils were normal, passers-by would not be able to help but look at them a few more times. However, there was no such phenomenon on the street. Everyone was busy on the road and did not cast a curious look at the two women.

"Chu Yang, what do you think is going on?"

Su Yue knew that Chu Yang must have noticed something, so he told them about this matter, and asked curiously.

However, Chu Yang was rarely silent.

After a long while, under the urging of the two, Chu Yang finally smiled bitterly: "This may mean that our money is not enough in Lanjiang City..."

...

After a few people walked around the city for a while, Chu Yang's speculation was confirmed.

The prices in Lanjiang City are not only higher than those in Huayang City, but even more than three times higher. When they finally found an inn that can only be described as mediocre, they had already spent 100 Tongbao, and it was paid daily!

After settling down, Chu Yang saw that it was still early, so he left the inn on his own and planned to go to the pharmacy to ask about the market.

However, Chu Yang never thought that he went to several pharmacies in succession, but no pharmacy dared to accept the pills he refined.

The reason is very unified, that is, if you want to sell pills in Lanjiang City, you must be an alchemist certified by the Danxing under Tiangongfang. Otherwise, if you sell pills privately, both the seller and the pharmacy will be imprisoned!

After visiting several pharmacies, all of them looked the same. Chu Yang was furious. This was really bad luck. If he had known, he would have saved money.

In fact, with his current alchemy ability, it would be no different from playing to go to the alchemy shop to get the intermediate alchemist certification. However, this was contrary to Chu Yang's idea of ​​keeping a low profile, and he was a little entangled for a while.

At this moment, a burst of hurried horse hooves suddenly came from behind.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"

Chu Yang turned around and saw several red dragon horses carrying people, running towards him.

Along the way, many pedestrians on the road were unable to dodge and were kicked away by the dragon horses...

In front of Chu Yang, there was an ordinary old man holding a cane and looking at the rushing dragon horse in horror!

In a flash, Chu Yang had already made a plan. He looked at the old man in front of him, and then at the erratic dragon horses that ignored the pedestrians. He frowned slightly, took a step, and directly blocked the old man, and stretched out his palm to meet the charging dragon horse!

What is this kid going to do! ?

The pedestrians who originally didn't care also saw Chu Yang's actions at this moment, and then they saw a scene that they would never forget.

The dragon horse that could even resist the foundation-building cultivator was actually held down in front of the young man. When the dragon horse saw that it was stopped by someone with great force, it neighed on the spot, raised its hind hips high, and threw the rider on the horse's back out in an instant.

Fortunately, the rider was in good shape. After turning twice in the air, he was still standing on the street without any problems, although he looked a little embarrassed.

As for the riders behind him, they were obviously professionally trained. Seeing such a scene, they turned their horses' heads to prevent the dragon horse from rear-ending.

"How dare you stop my dragon horse!"

Hearing the pleasant voice, Chu Yang looked up and found that the rider on the dragon horse was actually a petite girl.

Looking at her face, she was actually about thirteen or fourteen years old. Not only was she handsome, but she also looked a bit heroic in her red outfit and the white cloak behind her.

However, at this time, she raised her eyebrows and stared at Chu Yang angrily with a whip in her hand, her eyes almost spitting fire.

And hearing her voice, the guards hurriedly jumped off their horses and gathered towards the girl.

"Miss, you are not..."

"How can you be okay!"

Before the man finished speaking, the girl was furious and raised her whip to whip him fiercely. Then she looked at the others and shouted: "You useless people, people have bullied me, and you are still standing there!"

The girl's words were quite angry, but even the man who was whipped did not dare to care about his injuries at all. He directly drew the sword on the horse's back and rushed towards Chu Yang!
