Exile is exile, is half of the capital enough as compensation?

How did it suddenly become North City?

"My dear, I want to go to the North, not the North City." After thinking about it, the Third Prince asked his question.

"Yes, it's the Northland, now called North City."

The Third Prince nodded blankly, "Oh, oh, so that's it!"

"Well, let's go!"

The Third Prince saw that they were already heading north, but he found it difficult to move his legs.

Although the city wall seemed not far away from them, he still knew the principle of "a horse will die if it is too far away".

He trotted a few steps and followed behind them, asking weakly, "Just, are you just going to leave like this?"

Li Tianze and Leng Youran looked back at him and asked, "So how do you plan to go?"

The Third Prince laughed twice, "Haha, no, no, let's go!"

Yes.

He looked so poor now that he felt embarrassed to ask the Lord of North City to pick him up.

After four hours, they walked from dusk to dawn and finally arrived at the foot of the North City.

When the Third Prince saw the high city walls, he lost his desire to enter the city.

"Ah, so high? How are we going to get in?" It was obvious that this was not the city gate. They had been walking all night and were really exhausted.

I felt sick when I thought that they might have to climb the city wall.

He sat down on the ground without caring about his image, mumbling and breathing heavily.

He was really tired.

The same was true for the three guards who came with him. They had been chased all the way, and after finally getting a rest, they continued traveling all night. Now they felt as if their feet and legs were no longer their own.

He was even more careless about his image than the Third Prince and slept directly on the open space under the city wall.

Leng Youran and Li Tianze looked at each other.

When their eyes met, there was a hint of doubt in Leng Youran's eyes.

As if to say: Are you so tired?

Is she feeling okay?

Li Tianze smiled faintly and shrugged, thinking: Isn’t it?

The Third Prince was not like them along the way. They used lightness skills to fly for a distance from time to time. If they had not been concerned about them, the two of them would have returned to the north long ago.

The third prince was in a much more miserable situation. He was injured, and coupled with the chase all the way, his internal energy had long been exhausted. Naturally, he was not as relaxed as them.

As for the remaining three guards.

Forget it, let’s not talk about them. They are much worse off than him.

"Should we consider our image? We're almost there." Leng Youran thought for a moment before bending down and patting the Third Prince on the shoulder.

The Third Prince waved his hand and said, "I'm out of strength. If I were to climb over such a high wall, I might as well sit here and rest for a while!"

Leng Youran suddenly realized that this guy thought they were going to climb the city wall!

This guy's train of thought is really novel!

Not to mention that most people can’t climb such a high city wall, even if they wanted to, they wouldn’t know where to start!

As early as when they built this city wall, they borrowed the idea of ​​the previous steward Zheng and inlaid the wall with sharp broken knives.

"Okay, no need to climb, let's go in!"

Li Tianze couldn't stand the Third Prince's stupidity any longer, so he walked over to him and picked him up.

The Third Prince was about to say something when he heard a noise coming from the city wall.

Looking up, they saw a team of patrolling soldiers also looking at them.

He cleared his throat and was about to introduce himself when the soldiers on the city wall ordered a corner gate in front of them to be opened.

The Third Prince looked at Leng Youran and Li Tianze suspiciously.

But the two men said nothing, walked past him and went straight to the corner gate.

The Third Prince pointed at Li Tianze and then at the soldiers on the city wall, completely confused.

I thought to myself: Isn’t it said that entering the North is as difficult as ascending to heaven?

How did they get in so easily?

Seeing that Li Tianze and the others were about to go in, he didn't have time to think about it. He turned around and urged the three guards, and the four of them hurriedly trotted to catch up with Li Tianze and the others.

"Wow...."

As soon as they stepped into the city, the Third Prince's exclamation voice was heard.

Then he stopped talking, not because he didn't want to talk, but because he was shocked by the high city walls.

It was night time before, and I was looking at it from a distance, so I could only see that the city wall was not low.

Only when he passed the corner gate and looked back did he realize that the city wall was not only not low, but it was frighteningly high.

The four of them were like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, their eyes swaying left and right.

This was the first time for Leng Youran and Li Tianze to come in through this corner door, and it was also the first time they saw the scene nearby.

They are much calmer.

Unlike the Third Prince and his three companions who were staring at the buildings here, their eyes were focused on the new people who had come in.

The place where they came in was still the outer city, which was the open space outside the North City.

It is no longer an empty lot now, as houses have been built on both sides.

In addition to the main road they just walked on, there are also many small alleys next to it.

From a distance, there were many people pushing carts in the alley. Although it was not as orderly as in the north, it was still busy and orderly.

Leng Youran and Li Tianze looked for a while and then looked away.

Although there are many civilians, they don’t need to worry too much because there are patrols.

The Third Prince was quite curious and would whisper to the guards behind him from time to time.

They generally say, "Why are you all moving?"

"Looking at that house, it seems to be newly built. Could it be that these people are refugees from other places?"

"......"

Li Tianze and Leng Youran laughed softly, with no intention of clearing up his confusion.

He took a few people and walked straight towards the original gate of the North City.

The city gates are now open, but there are soldiers guarding them.

This was something Leng Yuyang had specifically instructed.

In their eyes, there are still some differences between the people of Liangzhou and the people of the north.

Without a pass, the people of Liangzhou cannot enter or leave the north at will.

The people in the north don’t have to go through so much trouble, they can enter and exit the two places freely.

So there are not many people entering the city at this time, but there are quite a few people leaving the city.

When Li Tianze and Leng Youran walked to the city gate, the two guards saw them. Just as they were about to salute, Li Tianze raised his hand to interrupt them.

"Is the young master back?"

"Well, the eldest young master came back last night."

After getting the answer, the two of them took the third prince and his three companions into the city.

After entering the city, the Third Prince's eyes became even busier.

After all, this is the legendary North!

Although it belonged to the Eastern Jin Dynasty, no monarch of the Eastern Jin Dynasty had the honor to set foot there.

How lucky he is!

Although the outer city also shocked him, there were still some differences between the inner and outer cities.

This place has already formed a certain scale, and the first thing you see is the bustling streets.

The shouting of the hawkers and the aroma of food wafting from all around made the third prince and his three companions swallow their saliva repeatedly.

“Tsk tsk tsk…”

"Okay, okay, okay, okay!"

Such words popped out of his mouth from time to time.

Leng Youran and Li Tianze were not at all surprised by his performance and just smiled.

Soon they arrived at the City Lord's Mansion.
