Chapter 135 White River City
On the official road, Ding Yi galloped all the way. In a short time, he had traveled hundreds of miles and passed one village after another.
As the distance lengthened, Ding Yi found that more and more pedestrians began to appear on the official road.
However, most of these people were walking, and a few were driving ordinary carriages. It was rare to see people like Ding Yi riding a green-maned and red-tailed demon horse.
Therefore, as soon as people on the road saw Ding Yi's horse, they moved aside one after another, not daring to block the road at all.
After all, this green-maned and red-tailed horse is one of the symbols of the Yin-Yang Palace. Who dares to block the way of the Yin-Yang Palace people on this official road, is that not asking for death?
The horse with green mane and red tail traveled thousands of miles in a day. Ding Yi galloped all the way and finally arrived at Baihe City, the county seat of Baihe County, two days later.
This Baihe City is adjacent to Baishui River in the east, Yao Mountain in the west, connecting Feiqi County on the top, and Penggu Plain on the bottom. It is the largest city in Baihe County.
This city, which stands at the confluence of two rivers, has a population of millions. In terms of scale and economy, it is more than ten times stronger than that of Qingfeng County.
At this moment, Ding Yi, who was holding the demon horse in hand, was standing in front of the huge gate of Baihe City. He raised his head and looked at the huge thing in front of him, and he was shocked in his heart.
I once thought that the gate in Qingfeng County was big and spectacular, but compared with the Baihe City in front of me, it pales into insignificance.
However, after the shock, Ding Yi's heart turned to surprise. He secretly thought that with the size of Baihe City in front of him, the probability of being able to obtain the God Refining and Yuan Qiao techniques would naturally be greatly increased.
Thinking of this, Ding Yi led the horse and walked towards the city gate in front.
Although White River City requires paperwork to enter, there are still a large number of people queuing up to enter the city.
There were actually quite a few people like Ding Yi leading the demon horses, and there were even four strong men lining up carrying a sedan.
Ding Yi glanced at it briefly and was amazed. He secretly thought that this White River City was really a grand spectacle. He also sighed that he didn't know how many statues could be produced in a month to supply the Yin and Yang Palace.
Time passed by, and Ding Yi finally entered the city with the help of documents.
This Baihe City is indeed a big city famous far and wide.
As soon as he entered the city gate, Ding Yi was startled by the rows of buildings in front of him.
I thought I would never see tall buildings again after traveling through time, but I never expected that there would be buildings tens of meters high in Baihe City.
These buildings were built every 100 meters, forming a layout of different heights with the surrounding buildings, spreading towards the city like waves.
The wide streets are filled with all kinds of pedestrians,
Even though it was already the twelfth lunar month, some people were wearing cool gauze clothes, while others were wearing thick linen clothes. The whole county looked full of vitality at first glance, and it didn't look like a day of disaster.
If Ding Yi hadn't already been Wu Xia Ameng, he would have been confused by the appearance in front of him.
He knew that beneath this false calmness, what was hidden was nothing more than a deeper ugliness.
Soon, after some inquiring, Ding Yi finally arrived at the market area of Baihe City.
There is no distinction between inner and outer cities in Baihe City, so the whole city is divided into 16 districts. Each district has two inspection teams to maintain public security.
In Baihe City, the headquarters of the Inspection Department is adjacent to the Inspection Department and is located in the most central area of the city.
The Director of the Inspection Department and the Director of the Supervision Department are both subordinate officials of the sixth rank. They can be regarded as influential figures in this big city, far beyond the comparison of the Director of Qingfeng County.
At this moment, Ding Yi led the demon horse and walked back and forth several times in the area where the market was located. Finally, he found a Yaman who specialized in renting and selling houses, and asked him to find a one-step house for him to stay in.
When Yaren saw that Ding Yi was holding the green-maned and red-tailed horse from the Yin Yang Palace, his face was filled with smiles, and he wanted to find out where Ding Yi was coming from.
"Where does this man come from?"
"Come from the outer city."
"Master, are you from Yin Yang Palace?"
"No, I bought this horse from someone from Yin Yang Palace."
"You have been working hard all the way, and you really should find a place to rest."
Yaren rolled his eyes, then smiled and continued:
"I may not know that there are only a few vacant houses in Baihe City every day. Although I have them, the price is..."
Ding Yi immediately grinned after hearing this:
"You make a price."
"Haha, don't worry, my price is absolutely fair! The rent for the small house you enter is 10 taels per month. If you buy it, it will be 140 taels."
Yato said with a smile.
"oh."
Ding Yi glanced at Yaren and suddenly showed a meaningful smile,
"I'm an outsider, you didn't frame me, did you?"
"No, no, we are all suffering, who can embarrass whom?"
Yaren chuckled.
"OK."
Ding Yi took out two banknotes from his arms and waved them directly in front of Yaren.
"Take me to see the place."
Yaren's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw the banknote, and then he said quickly:
"It's easy to talk, easy to talk, please come with me!"
Soon, Yaren took Ding Yi to a house in the Ninth Square District.
Looking at the dilapidated courtyard in front of him, Ding Yi suddenly raised his eyebrows, seemingly surprised.
“Sir, it may not look bad, but it’s in a good location!!”
Seeing that Ding Yi's expression was wrong, Yaren quickly said with a smile.
"Look at this courtyard. Minghe Street is right outside the front door. Go straight for half an hour and you will reach the market. Fengming Street is on the left, where you can buy tranquilizing pills and medicinal materials. Ximu Street is on the right, a paradise for men and a hole for spending money!"
The broker said, and he smiled at Ding Yi's vigorous face.
Ding Yi nodded, and then handed the silver note in his hand to the broker.
"I bought it. Take the house deed with you?"
"Sir, look at what you said. We are in this business, and we must know the rules!"
As he said that, the broker took out a stack of house deeds from his arms, counted them, and found one and handed it to Ding Yi.
"Sir, this little house will be yours in the future! You see, this little house is very dirty. Do you want to buy a maid to help clean it? By the way, you can also..."
The broker stopped talking at this point and gave Ding Yi a look that said you know.
"No, I'm used to being alone."
Ding Yi waved his hand to reject the suggestion of the agent, and then led the horse towards the courtyard.
The agent looked at Ding Yi's back and smiled, patted the silver bills in his hand, and then turned around and went back along the street.
Ding Yi tied the demon horse to the big tree outside the courtyard, then pushed open the gate and walked in.
As the gate opened, a rotten smell immediately hit his nose.
Ding Yi frowned, thinking to himself how could there be a house that could be empty for so long in this place where every inch of land is worth a lot of money?
But at least he had a place to stay in Baihe City temporarily. Next, he had to see how to get the skills he urgently needed.
This time, Ding Yi came to Baihe City in the name of investigating Baiyun Temple. In name, he needed to go to the local inspection department to submit materials and find local inspection department personnel to investigate together.
But as the real controller behind Qingfeng County, Ding Yi was naturally too lazy to take this step, but found a place to live directly after entering the city.
After cleaning the house briefly, Ding Yi went out with the horse.
He couldn't leave the demon horse around, so he needed to find a professional to take care of it. In addition, he needed to buy some common props.
The core items were naturally the pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
