Chapter 419 Xichuan Inn
"No, if it was a traffic accident, how could it be solved by soldiers?" Zhao Shiran pointed outside, and saw soldiers in military uniforms standing solemnly in the desert on both sides of the road, not looking away.
"Independent Magic Armed 69th Division." Su Yian said softly: "It seems that something happened."
"How do you know their unit number?" Situ Yue looked at Su Yian strangely.
"They are magicians, and there are three magic armed divisions stationed in Xiadong Province. The closest one is the 69th Division." Su Yian explained.
"You know a lot about this." Situ Yue praised, and then looked outside: "What could it be? Even the magic armed division has been dispatched..."
"I'll go to the front to see." After waiting for ten minutes, the vehicle had not moved, so Su Yian planned to take a look: "Senior Xiahou can drive, you drive first."
"Yeah." Xiahou Tuo nodded.
Su Yian turned off the engine and got out of the car, and Su Yige quickly followed him: "Brother, I'll go with you."
"Zhiyao, aren't you going?" Situ Yue leaned forward and turned to look at Beiming Zhiyao.
"What's wrong?"
"I just feel that you haven't seen each other for a few days, why don't you chat more?"
"It doesn't matter for a while." Beiming Zhiyao chuckled: "Besides, I'll stay with you."
Situ Yue was stunned for a moment, then teased: "Okay, Zhiyao, you already think of yourself as the hostess. The host is gone, so you have to entertain us, hahaha."
Beiming Zhiyao glared at Situ Yue: "Are you looking for a fight?"
"I was wrong, I was wrong!" Situ Yue quickly sat back in his seat, unable to hide the smile in his eyes.
...
Su Yian and Su Yige followed and walked forward. Most people did not get off the car after seeing the army, and sat in the car obediently waiting for the road to be cleared.
Because the two people's actions were different from others, they attracted the vigilance of the soldiers on both sides. Some soldiers stared at the two people, fearing that the two would do something dangerous.
We walked forward and arrived at the checkpoint after about ten minutes.
Iron fences blocked the road. Soldiers of the 69th Division of the Independent Magic Armed Forces were armed with live ammunition and had sharp eyes.
"Hongtian Magic Auxiliary Machine..." Su Yian's eyes flashed. Some soldiers were holding Hongtian series magic auxiliary machines for alien beasts, which was very intriguing.
If it weren't for the alien beasts, it would be impossible to use the Hongtian series.
"Brother, look at that man." Su Yige pointed to the young man smoking behind the checkpoint.
"Liang Chao." Su Yian took a step and walked over.
"Stop!" The captain guarding the checkpoint shouted: "Go back to the car!"
"I'm looking for him, Liang Chao." Su Yian pointed to Liang Chao on the side.
The captain was startled, and on the other side, Liang Chao heard a familiar voice and turned back suddenly. When he saw Su Yian, the cigarette in his hand fell to the ground involuntarily.
"Team..." Liang Chao's lips moved for a moment, but he recovered quickly: "Let them in."
"I really know General Liang..." The captain thought, opened the checkpoint, and let the two in.
"Yige, wait here for a while." After Su Yian settled down, he and Liang Chao came to the desert.
"I didn't expect to see you here." Liang Chao smiled: "Two years."
Liang Chao, a member of the Great Qin Sword Divine Guard, a battle-level magician, and a second-level general.
As the most powerful strategic magic force in the Great Qin Empire, the Great Qin Sword has five major guards under its jurisdiction: Ziwei Guard, Great Wall Guard, Divine Guard, Canghai Guard, and Zhanlong Guard. Each of them has its own duties and clear division of labor.
Su Yian was born in the Great Wall Guard, and then sat in the position of the Great Qin Sword Sword holder, the highest officer of the five major guards.
As a member of the Divine Guard, Liang Chao naturally knew Su Yian. After all, although Su Yian wore a mask when fighting externally, he did not wear it internally.
"I have already quit the Great Qin Sword." Su Yian said calmly: "You don't have to respect me so much."
"[Lord of Destruction] is still you." Liang Chao said: "Yu Zhaohui, that guy, can't make us convinced."
"Let's not talk about these things. What happened here?" Su Yian asked: "Why is it equipped with the Thunderbolt?"
Liang Chao's face showed apology: "Sorry, this is a military secret, I can't tell you."
Su Yian nodded. He had already left the Great Qin Sword and his organization was cancelled by the cabinet, but it was not made public. Liang Chao was a serving personnel. Although he respected himself, he was still an outsider, so telling him was against military discipline.
"I want to go over." Su Yian continued: "Go to Xichuan Pass for a stroll."
Liang Chao raised his wrist and looked at his watch and said: "Just wait ten minutes. We will withdraw the pass in ten minutes, and we can pass through then."
"Yeah." Su Yian nodded and looked at the desert. Many fully equipped soldiers were advancing vigilantly, as if looking for something.
"By the way, where are you now?"
"School."
"School?!" Liang Chao's eyes jumped: "You still need to go to school???"
"Well, campus life is pretty good." Su Yian said with a smile: "It's much easier than the front line."
"That's true." Liang Chao nodded: "But if those students who grew up in ivory towers knew your identity, they would probably be scared to death, hahaha."
"Most of the students in Tianji Magic Academy are from aristocratic families, how could they be scared to death?"
"Hey, only the children of the aristocratic family are so scared. What kind of world have they seen for a bunch of pampered brats?" Liang Chao curled his lips, not having a good impression of the children of the aristocratic family.
Su Yian did not argue with him and started another topic: "How long have you been here?"
"About half a year."
Su Yian raised her eyebrows slightly: "Have you ever heard of Baihu Village?"
"Baihu Village?" Liang Chao turned his head: "The Murong family is in Baihu Village, but speaking of it, even most people in the East Xiaxia Province don't know about Baihu Village. After all, Baihu Village is too remote. It's in Luoyan Gorge. This area, while Luoyan Gorge sounds poetic, is actually an ominous place.”
"Ominous place? What do you mean?" Su Yian was a little curious. There was no such statement in the intelligence collected by Su Qing.
"I don't know the details. I just heard it mentioned by the older generation of local people. I am not interested in the Murong family, so I didn't go into details." Liang Chao said, "Are you interested in Baihu Village?"
"Roughly the same."
"Then you can go to Xichuan Village in Xichuan Pass. There are many elderly people there, and the old people there seem to know why Luoyan Gorge is called an ominous place."
"Thanks."
"It's a small matter."
After the two chatted for a while, Liang Chao removed the checkpoint, and Su Yian said goodbye to him immediately, and continued to set off after Xia Houtuo drove up.
…
After driving for about an hour and a half, the endless passes came into view, and the majestic feeling of history came to our faces.
"Xichuan Pass has existed longer than the Qin Dynasty. Because it was the front line against the Hu people, it was built with solid materials. Even today, it has been partially renovated, but most of it is still thousands of years old. "The stone bricks." Su Yige acted as a tour guide: "Compared to the monuments in other places, they have been preserved for a longer time."
"You are so familiar with this area." Situ Yue praised: "It is indeed more historical than most of the ancient monuments I have seen, and the sword marks on the pass still seem to have a chilling meaning even though they have been separated for a long time."
"It seems like you can see the lights and shadows of swords fighting against the barbarians thousands of years ago."
Zhao Shiran joked: "Do you think the Hu people nowadays think that Xichuan Pass is a good thing?"
"After all, the Hu people were the enemies of the Chinese people in the past. Although the nationalities have now merged and become part of the Qin Dynasty, and the barriers have been almost eliminated, Xichuan Pass, as a monument that once witnessed the history of the Qin Dynasty, cannot be torn down." Su Yige said: "The Hu people have brought many disasters to the Chinese people. History cannot be forgotten just because of ethnic integration."
"Where is the hotel you booked?" Situ Yue's attention shifted very quickly. Just now, he was obsessed with Xichuan Pass, and now he moved to the hotel: "This place looks out of place, and it doesn't look like it has a hotel. Is there a hotel somewhere?”
"Senior Xiahou, turn left at the fork in front of the road. You will reach your destination in half an hour." Su Yige said to Xiahoutuo.
Xiahou Tuo nodded and increased the accelerator.
Driving along Xichuan Pass, gradually, large and small shops came into view. It turned out that since Xichuan Pass was developed into a scenic spot, the government of Xiadong Province specially allocated a piece of land here to build Xichuan Pass. At the scenic tourist service area, most tourists traveling to Xichuanguan will rest here.
"The parking lot is on the left, and cars are not allowed to enter the service area." Su Yige promptly reminded.
After parking the car, the seven people entered the service area. In an instant, all kinds of shouts and sounds came from all directions. Coupled with the ancient style of the shop and its owner, it was easy to give people the feeling of going back to a thousand years ago.
"What a good marketing method." Beiming Zhiyao naturally took Su Yian's arm and praised her.
"People are yearning for things they have never seen. Didn't someone conduct a survey? More than 60% of people long for ancient life." Su Yian laughed: "Reminds me of what you wore at the New Year's Ceremony. Traditional clothing."
"Although it is much more complicated than modern clothing. But it is indeed elegant and beautiful."
Bei Ming Zhiyao lowered her head shyly, and then whispered in Su Yian's ear: "Can I wear it for you next time?"
Su Yian agreed immediately: "Okay."
"Ahem!" Situ Yue coughed lightly: "You two, can you pay attention to the occasion? Think of us as light bulbs?"
"Isn't it?" Su Yian teased.
"You!" Situ Yue was angry and held Zhao Shiran's arm the next second: "I also have a boyfriend, Xiahou Tuo, Xiaoxin, and Yi Ge are the light bulbs!"
"We're here, Xichuan Inn." Su Yige stopped and turned to look at the inn standing here.
Covering an area of 20 acres, the hotel is a majestic hotel that integrates accommodation, dining and leisure. Its ancient-style architecture makes people fall in love with it at a glance.
You get what you pay for. Although Xichuan Inn is large, there are not many people in the lobby, because the cheapest rooms here cost thousands. Generally, tourists who come here definitely don’t stay for one night and then go back, so the price of thousands It has turned away too many tourists.
Walking into the inn, Su Yian went to the front desk and took out his ID card to apply, because Su Yige used his ID number to book a room.
"Hello, sir, you have reserved room Tianzi No. 1." After the front desk lady checked, her voice became more respectful.
"Tianzi No. 1??" An exaggerated exclamation suddenly sounded next to him: "Real or fake? Don't join forces like this to play stunts!"
Su Yian felt that the voice was familiar, so he turned around and chuckled: "Oh, you live here too."
"It's you!!?" The young man was shocked and took a few steps back involuntarily. He was the rich kid who tried to provoke Su Yian while driving a sports car on the road.
"Fu Tian, do you know him?" The young man's companion looked at Su Yian curiously.
A one-night stay in Xichuan Inn's Tianzi No. 1 room starts at 250,000 yuan. Although it is nothing to rich kids like them, booking a Tianzi No. 1 room also requires status.
There are many wealthy people in Daqin who book Tianzi No. 1 room when traveling here. But there is only one Tianzi No. 1 room, so which distinguished guest should stay?
When the starting line is money, it depends on who has more money and higher status.
In other words, this Mr. Su is the most distinguished guest who booked room No. 1 in Tianzi.
"No... I don't know him." Fu Tian shook his head quickly. He could even live in Room No. 1. Thinking of his provocation on the road, he wanted to leave this place quickly.
"Mr. Su, I will take you there." After completing the relevant procedures, the receptionist made an invitation gesture to Su Yian.
"Let's go." Su Yian turned around and waved to Beiming Zhiyao and others, and a group of seven people followed the pace of the front desk lady.
"They... aren't they students from Tianji Magic Academy? They are the main students who won the championship in this year's 100-school competition!" Watching them disappear into the hall, a tourist suddenly said: "Why do I look so familiar? They are all Magicians! They all come from a magic family!"
"Aristocratic family..." Fu Tian's companion clicked his tongue: "No wonder they opened the Tianzi No. 1 room."
…
Tianzi No. 1 is an independent courtyard located behind Xichuan Inn. Individual courtyards have been specially built here to entertain distinguished guests.
Tianzi No. 1 is the largest and most luxurious courtyard among them.
The pavilions, bridges and flowing water cover an area of thousands of square meters.
"Yi Ge, from the looks of them, you can't book Tianzi No. 1 if you have money..." Su Yian asked Su Yi Ge in a low voice.
The corner of Su Yige's mouth curled up: "Brother, do you know which group built the Xichuan Inn?"
"Um?"
"A subsidiary of Oriental Group, built by Tianxi International."
"Okay, okay." Su Yian also smiled. No wonder he was able to book it. It was like staying at his own home.
"It's really nice. This house, Yige, you have such good taste."
