Tianyou followed the team slowly, and walked around the road. He also had some snacks in his hand, which was easy to make freehand, but this kind of good mood was almost over.

The team walked through the bustling outer city and passed through a wide stone bridge. Below the bridge is an artificial river more than two meters wide, but the buildings on both sides of the river bank are very different. The outside of the river are small buildings, one by one, one by one, and the other side is full of large houses, with the smallest exceeding the area of ​​the school playground.

It is obvious that the opposite of the bridge is a wealthy area, which can only be lived in by dignitaries, and the outside of the river is home to the common people. Tianyou had always been following the team, and such a large group of people were not afraid of losing it. However, when he crossed the bridge, he was delayed when asking for the price because he was interested in some gadgets and left the price a little while away from the large army. When he chased him, he was stopped by two servants at the bridge.

"stop."

Tianyou looked at the two people in front of him for a moment, and then realized that he should be the security guard in the community. After all, this is a wealthy area, and the living rooms are either high-ranking officials or big merchants. It would be strange if there is no security guard.

"Two brothers, I'm from the front. I just went to buy some things and then it fell behind." He said, "The snacks in his hand were in the middle."

It would be fine if Tianyou didn't say it, but the two of them were even more suspicious about it.

Tianyou is obviously not a noble person, so he can only be a servant. Those who can live in the river are not ordinary people. They are not ordinary people who are rich or small officials. They must be particularly rich or have a very high official position. The servants in such people all have uniform clothes. How could they be dressed as hunters?

Let’s take a step back. Even if Tianyou is a hunter hired by a wealthy family temporarily, if you don’t follow the team, how could you run around halfway?

Take a step back, even if Tianyou buys something casually and says that the master told me to buy it, he can still get away with it. After all, these two are just servants, not guards of the palace gate, so it is impossible to investigate so strictly, just say it. However, Tianyou said that it was delayed in buying things, but he caught up with him while holding a bunch of snacks. The master asked you to buy things, and you eat it yourself first. Is that true?

The two officers found so many suspicious points, so of course they would not let it go easily. Besides, if Tianyou was wearing a cloth suit, it would be fine, but he was wearing leather armor, with a pair of swords on his waist and a arched arrow behind his back. This was all armed to the teeth. The officer could come over to ask with his own patience, and it was already polite enough not to directly take out the knife.

The officers were not allowed to give in, but Tianyou became anxious because the team in front was separated. A few small groups of people were suddenly separated from the crowds that gathered together and headed in different directions. Some scattered officials left with their servants. There were still a bunch of people left in the center, who continued to walk forward, but the distance was far away. Tianyou could vaguely see that only Bai Bingyu, Ying Ying and Qin Bo were left in the team, and the others were gone.

Tianyou wanted to get out as soon as he saw this situation, but he was not in a hurry, because he knew that the more he had to use his brain, and doing it hard would only backfire.

"Two big brothers, I really didn't lie to you. I really came back with the princess and the others. But you should be able to see that I am a hunter. The princess said that she had an urgent matter and wanted to take a shortcut road. She hired me as a guide. On the way, the princess found that I had good hunting skills, so she wanted to introduce me to the army, so I followed them all the way. Who knew that so many adults were surrounding the princess just now, and I, a villain, dared not compete with the adults! I could only follow behind, and then... you also saw it, and it became like this."

This is the truth, but some information has been simplified by Tianyou, which is naturally reasonable. It just happened that news came out in the palace these days that the king was critically ill, so it would be reasonable for Princess Ninth to take a shortcut to the city.

Since the matter was right, the two of them no longer had to bother, but it was not a big deal for people like Tianyou to run around in the inner city, so they decided to separate one person to accompany Tianyou to chase after him, which could be considered as a temporary guard against Tianyou to prevent him from being an assassin or something.

To put it bluntly, these two people are so comfortable, mainly because they are not regular guards. The nature of these two servants is actually similar to that of community security guards. Their main purpose is to prevent idle people from going to the rich areas. It is not their turn to catch them if there are assassins. There are guards in the city gate, and there are Qianniu Guards and inspectors on the street, which is the regular army.

Tianyou was often left alone by Xi Yan before. Who has never been exposed to any of the three ranks of people? The so-called "to stretch out your hand and don't hit people with a smile" and say something nice. Others will always be polite to you, and they will become familiar with you in just a few seconds. Less than 60 meters from the bridgehead to Ying Ying and others, the two have already begun to call each other brothers.

"Brother, you are better in life, at least safe! We spend all day in the mountains and can't eat a few full meals a year. If we occasionally encounter a monster with a hundred or ten pounds, we can't compare with you."

People like to compete. If you make him feel superior, they will naturally be happy. The officer is modest, but his face smiles like a flower. "How can you say that? It's hard for us to live a life by looking at people's eyes!"

The two were chatting, and suddenly ran over from behind, holding a small triangular flag in their hands. The flag was black on the black background and white on the edges, and an abstract image of a tiger in the center was clamoring in the wind.

When they saw this person, passers-by dodged, and it was obvious that the flag was very particular.

The crowd also noticed the movement here, and the crowd separated for a while. The horse knight suddenly turned over and jumped off the horse's back, and knelt in front of Bai Bingyu on one knee. The distance was too far, and I couldn't hear anything. I saw Bai Bingyu frowning and saying something to Ying Ying. Ying Ying patted Bai Bingyu on the shoulder, and then Bai Bingyu took out the horse soul to summon his spirit rider, and turned over the horse and turned around and ran back with the knight. Ying Ying was surrounded by the crowd again.

Originally surrounded by the crowd, Bai Bingyu immediately found Tianyou who was behind him. However, the matter was urgent. She didn't dare to delay at all. She just rode on the spirit rider and shouted loudly: "You stay here first, and I'll go find you when you turn around."

When I said the first half of the sentence, Bai Bingyu was still ahead of Tianyou, and when the second half of the sentence came, people had already crossed the bridge. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was a rushing lightning.

Looking at Bai Bingyu running away, the officer took a long time to react. He looked around and found that there was no third person nearby except him and Tianyou. He immediately said in surprise: "So you really came back with the princess? Even Miss Bai recognizes it! If you have become famous in the future, don't forget your brother!"

"Where are there!" Tianyou was kind enough, and when he turned around, he felt a slap in his heart. "I'm going to kill me!"

Just now, his eyes were following Bai Bingyu, and Tianyou and the officer had turned to the stone bridge. Now, when he turned around, he found that Ying Ying and Qin Bo were actually riding on the spirit cavalry and running towards the city gate. The high-ranking officials who were originally surrounding them also scattered, and a few people were carrying their robes without any image to chase the palace gate.

The officer was also stunned. Both he and Tianyou knew that Ying Ying suddenly rushed to the palace gate must be because of an emergency, but Tianyou found that he was left here now.

Lu Meng and the others had already left, and Tianyou didn't know where they lived. Bai Bingyu had just left the city and had originally expected Ying Ying or Qin Bo to arrange a place, but these two people went directly to the palace. Damn, I'll be investigated when I enter a wealthy area. What's wrong with the palace gate? Those guards can let him in.

After staying there for a while, the officer suddenly said, "Why don't you do this? Brother. Anyway, I know you know Miss Bai, so I will arrange it for you to go to the inn?"

"Then I'm thankful for my brother. It's true that I have to rely on friends when I go out!"

"Help each other and help each other." The two of them praising each other all the way and returned to the bridgehead. Another officer also welcomed him very enthusiastically. He also heard Bai Bingyu's words before. This person knew Miss Bai and might have become a success in the future. Of course, such people should be close to each other.

The two officers could not leave together, but in the end the officer led Tianyou to the front of the inn.

Through chatting with the officers along the way, Tianyou already knew that his previous guess was correct. The royal city was divided into three levels, with the palace in the middle, and there was a circle of city walls outside, which was called the palace city. Outside the palace city was a very wide road. Tianyou felt that this was actually the first ring road, which was called the inner ring. Outside the first ring were high-gate courtyards, which were all places where princes and nobles lived. However, there were no residences outside the main gate of the palace, that is, the south gate, and this was a place where government offices and various official institutions were concentrated.

The inner circle composed of these official institutions and the houses of princes and nobles is still homes, but the area of ​​the houses is gradually shrinking, the degree of luxury is reduced in proportion, and the official positions of the people living there are also gradually decreasing. The circle facing the river is basically homes of middle-level officials and big merchants. However, because merchants are rich, some of their houses are not small in size, but generally they will not exceed those of the princes and nobles in the inner circle, and at most they are more luxurious than the houses of middle-level officials.

The part within that river is collectively called the inner city. On the outside of the river is a large yard, but this should be considered commercial land. It is basically a consumption project for high-end clothing, antique shops, calligraphy and painting shops, and romantic places and high-end restaurants that men like, are basically concentrated in the outer circle of the river.

In this area, the shops are more periphery, and there is another ring road. Tianyou believes that this is the Second Ring Road. There is still commercial land outside the Second Ring Road, but the grade is obviously lower than the shops inside the Second Ring Road.

Outside the Second Ring Road, there are basically areas mixed with commercial and residential areas. Except for the four directions, there is a market that is determined and cannot be moved randomly, they basically follow the rules that shops are on the street and in the alleys are others. However, it is said that there are few residents in the Beicheng District because there is an industrial area there. Of course, this was determined by Tianyou himself based on the description of the servant. There was no such thing as an industrial area in this era.

On the inside of the city wall, there is a ring road near the city wall, which is the Third Ring Road. This road does not extend closely to the city wall, but is a distance between it. Most of the areas between this section of the Third Ring Road and the city wall are open spaces, and some are garrisons and military yamen, including weapons rooms and a small number of general workshops, which are also concentrated in this area. As for the remaining areas, some are used as places for trainees, and some become free places. Large caravans coming from outside will use this place as temporary material transfer points, and some refugees and others will set up tents here to live. In addition, this is also a good place for children to play. In short, basically as long as you don’t build a house here, no one will care about it if you take it temporarily.

The inn where the servant brought Tianyou to is located between the Second Ring Road and the Third Ring Road, but it is very close to the Third Ring Road, and the door is very small, just like the door of an ordinary family. The only special thing is that the door of the inn is facing the street, which is somewhat different from that of an ordinary family.

Looking at the narrow door, the officer felt a little embarrassed.

"I'm sorry, little brother! I'm just that kind of capable, brother. The inns in the inner city all need official certificates. I'm just a servant, I don't have the qualifications. I can only let you down. This is a special inn for those who come to work in other places. The conditions are that it's a bad place, but there are all things that should be, but the food is almost there. It won't work. My brother invites you to go to the restaurant tonight." In order to curry favor with Tianyou, this person has also invested a lot.

"No, no, I'm just a hunter. I can't get back when I encounter trouble in the mountains. It's good to have a cave cat overnight. Why can't this person sleep with a roof and a wall? I'm even less particular about eating. Tell you, once I was trapped in the mountains before, I even chewed raw meat."

"Young brother can't tell. He has suffered such a crime at such a young age!"

The two of them entered the post station as they blew. The servant knew some connections. After talking to the postmaster, he settled Tianyou down. Because he was still on the job, he didn't want to stay much, so he left after explaining a few words.

After the officer left, the official secretary arranged a servant to help Tianyou clean the room, and then left. Although he knew the officer, he was not close friends. The other party did not talk about Bai Bingyu, but only said that he was a friend, so the official secretary naturally didn't take it to heart. He was an official, so there was no need to curry favor with Tianyou, the hunter, as it would be nice to let him stay.
