Chapter 1846

Su Chen didn't think much about it at first, but until the city gate was in front of him, he didn't have time to take a good look at it, thinking about the difference between the city in the Qing world today and what he saw before.

On the other hand, Hong Huangshou jumped out of the carriage eagerly, reached the city gate a few steps, and knocked on the side door regardless of the fact that it was late at night.

Su Chen's eyes darkened. There was a curfew in the Qing Dynasty. After that time, the gates of the city would be closed. They would never open the gates until the next morning, unless there was an urgent military situation or a higher-level official business. There will be exceptions.

Ordinary people, let alone want to enter the city after midnight. Even if he tried to get close, he would be captured by the guards and questioned carefully.

Hong Huangshou offered to bring him to Bianjing to find friends and help him find someone. Su Chen was naturally happy to be at leisure. He had just arrived here at the time and was naturally very unfamiliar with this place. It was indeed much more convenient to have a local like Hong Huangshou lead the way, so he did not refuse.

What's more, he didn't feel much aura in the barren mountains, so he naturally thought that this was just an ordinary mortal world, and all living beings were ants. No matter what plans Hong Huangshou had in mind, he would never be hurt.

Su Chen enjoyed the scenery leisurely all the way, and did not pay much attention to other things, but after approaching Bianjing, the aura seemed to be much stronger.

Thinking back now, Hong Huangshou tried intentionally or unintentionally, and even vaguely mentioned that his friend is quite famous in Bianjing City. If he could meet him soon, he would be able to find the person he was looking for. He was very curious about his identity during the conversation. .

The corners of Su Chen's mouth curled up slightly. From a rough observation just now, Hong Mingshou was full of internal energy, not like a cultivator, but the aura could flow freely when entering the body, but the route was relatively simple. It looked like instinct, not deliberate cultivation.

Are there practitioners in this world?

Hong Mingshou's eagerness to bring him into Bianjing was not as simple as showing kindness. Su Chen had some guesses, but his judgment of this world surprised him. As for Hong Mingshou's attempt, he can temporarily ignore it.

However, although Hong Huangshou is not a cultivator, his martial arts are not weak, and he can barely be regarded as the peak of the day after tomorrow.

at this time. A corner door on the left side of the big city gate opened slowly, Hong Huangshou whispered a few words into the door, and then the back door closed again.

Hong Huangshou walked back quickly, and said in a low voice: "Great, the guards guarding the city today happen to be my friend's brother. I just asked for it, and he agreed to accommodate us, so we can go in."

Su Chen smiled lightly: "That's great."

After the corner gate was closed, it didn't open again. Su Chen stretched lazily. At this time, Hong Huangshou drove the ox cart to turn around and walked along the city wall. His eyes shone with golden light strangely, wandering over the majestic city wall, there was an invisible depth in his eyes.

Bianjing city is not easy.

After walking for about two sticks of incense, they came to the west side of the city, where there was also a city gate.

The city gate on the west side is slightly smaller than the main gate, and there is also a small corner gate next to it, which is already wide open at this time.

Hong Huangshou drove the ox cart aside, and whispered to Su Chen to wait beside him.

Then Hong Huangshou walked into the door quickly, and after a while came out with a smile on his face, and led Su Chen into the city gate.

After entering the city gate, Hong Huangshou whispered a few words to the person standing on one side. The voice is very low.

"Is Master Liu the one patrolling the city today?"

Hong Huangshou asked.

The man replied: "Lord Liu is not free today, it's his subordinate Zhang Ermazi."

"Understood, thank you for today."

Hong Huangshou clasped his fists, turned his feet and walked towards Su Chen.

The city was extremely quiet. Although there were lanterns hanging on both sides of the street, the lights were still on and the wind swayed, barely able to illuminate one side of the world. It can't illuminate the whole city at all.

Although Bianjing is not as good as the capital city, it is still an important town with strict defenses. Ordinary people dare not go out in the middle of the night.

The whole city is now extremely quiet, and amidst the flickering lights, there is actually a faint sense of coldness.

Hong Huangshou took Su Chen along the small streets in the city. Although the speed was fast, the pace was very steady. From time to time, he would turn around and chat with Su Chen, introducing the passing shops.

Su Chen walked leisurely with Hong Huangshou, the smile on the corner of his mouth was very shallow, but there was a faint light in his eyes. In the city separated by a wall, the aura is several times that of the outside of the city, which is really strange.

He didn't know the way, and let Hong Huangshou lead the way. After walking through most of the city, they have now come to the east side of Bianjing City.

After passing through countless alleys, he finally stopped at the entrance of an alley.

Su Chen clearly heard that Hong Huangshou breathed a sigh of relief, as if he was walking quickly. He is also quite exhausted.

Hong Huangshou paused for a moment, then turned to look at Su Chen, "There is a late-night curfew in the city. I am not familiar with the people patrolling the city today. To avoid trouble, I was in a hurry just now. Brother, don't take offense."

At this moment, Su Chen's eyes fell on the alley, and upon hearing the words, he casually replied: "What is this place?"

"This is Huitong Lane." Hong Huangshou paused for breath, and looked at Su Chen without blinking. "My friend lives here."

"There is only one family living in this alley."

Su Chen withdrew his gaze, the alley was not too deep, but there was only one family from the end to the end of the alley, and although the courtyard wall around him was low, it was obviously not an ordinary mud wall. Instead, it is made of bluestone.

Although he didn't know much about the world of the Qing Dynasty, he was not an ignorant countryman. How could he be willing to use bluestone for the courtyard walls of ordinary people?

Moreover, he didn't need to use his consciousness to detect at all, he could smell the faint fragrance wafting from the courtyard wall, obviously there were flower beds in the courtyard.

He spoke lightly, but Hong Huangshou's complexion tightened slightly, hesitating for a moment. Suddenly he said solemnly: "To tell you the truth, my friend is the envoy of Xuanfu of Bianjing."

"oh?"

Su Chen hooked his fingers slightly, and scratched his cheek a little impressively. He didn't know much about the officials of the Qing Dynasty. He didn't know how many grades the Xuanfu envoy Hong Huangshou was talking about, but he didn't sound like a petty official.

Perhaps Hong Huangshou saw Su Chen's embarrassment, and opened his mouth a little dumbly, wanting to say something, but his eyes flicked across Su Chen's face, but he didn't say anything in the end.

Su Chen has always been big-hearted, and the embarrassment was only temporary. Now that he has recovered, since he has arrived, there is no reason to wait outside.

So, he walked directly to the door, patted the door lightly, and turned back to Hong Huangshou, "It's already late at night, isn't your friend already asleep?"

Hong Huangshou was stunned for a while, but before he spoke, he only heard the sound of light footsteps inside the door, and then the small door was opened from the inside, and a boy in gray bunt stood inside the door and looked at Su Chen in a daze .

Su Chen smiled at the boy, pointed to Hong Huangshou beside him and said softly, "Your family's friend."

The boy didn't know whether he was bewitched by Su Chen's smile, or he didn't react, but actually looked out along Su Chen's finger, and Su Chen had already entered the door from his side.

A look of astonishment flashed in Hong Huangshou's eyes, seeing that Su Chen had disappeared at the door, he immediately walked forward. The young man had now seen Hong Huangshou's face clearly, exclaimed, and was about to speak.

Hong Huangshou glanced at him, and ordered in a low voice: "Quickly go and report to your lord."
