Chapter 7 Out of the City (Part 1)

Yuyang City is divided into an inner city and an outer city. They are all ordinary people, as well as those who are homeless, beggar and the like, including the slum area, are also in the outer city.

This is not the case in the inner city. Those who can live in the inner city must at least have some status in Yuyang City, or they are powerful and wealthy.

Therefore, in the eyes of the people in the outer city, the inner city is a wealthy area, and there are some wealth that they cannot enjoy.

But not many people can live in the inner city, so the inner city is naturally smaller than the outer city. In Yuyang City, the outer city occupies 70% of the area.

The whole Yuyang City is divided into East, West, North, and South. The Yang Family is located in Southern City. It is one of the most well-known families in Southern City. The Yang Family’s industry, overwhelming majority Also in Southern City.

One end of Tairong Street is connected to various mansions in the wealthy area of Southern City, and the other end, also gradually appeared in front of Yang Ze at this time.

The carriage drives along the cultivation of Qingshi Street, and reaches the end of Tairong Street. There is an ash-gray stone wall in front of you. The tall gray stone wall is erected at the end of Tairong Street. Extending out, a barrier is formed, dividing the entire inner city from the outer city.

The gray and white stone wall has an exit, and there are four people guarding the exit. These four people are dispatched from various families in the inner city to guard the entrance and exit.

If you want to enter the inner city, you need to review it to prevent people from messing in, and all parties have contributed to rotate here.

With Old Xie, the censorship is nothing, and soon the carriage left Tairong Street.

Yang Ze, who was sitting in the carriage, felt the carriage shake for a while, and then heard the noise of people on the street. He knew that he had already arrived in the outer city.

Yang Ze could hear the sounds getting louder and louder outside as the carriage kept driving forward.

Noisy voices, hawking voices, price haggling voices, adults’ voices, and children’s voices, Yang Ze’s eyes at this time have a little more color.

After coming to this world for two months, he finally felt a different world.

The former Yang Ze only left the inner city many years ago, and all Yang Ze can feel is the memory in his mind.

In the Yang Family Manor, although there are hundreds of people in the entire manor, the huge manor always seems a little lifeless and less popular.

Today, I finally saw another side of this world.

Opening the curtains, Yang Ze’s eyes extended from the inside of the carriage. He saw the lively streets outside, with hawker stalls and shops on both sides of the street.

People coming, people going, some people walked into the store, some people walked quickly with their horses, and many more people shuttled through various small stalls to buy things.

The air in the outer city is completely different from that in the inner city. The air is full of various flavors, and Yang Ze greedily sucked several mouthfuls.

He didn’t think there was such a place in the outer city. It should look similar to the ancient dynasties in his hometown, but it was much better than he imagined.

“Second Young Master, how do you feel?” Old Xie’s voice came over as Yang Ze looked around.

“Yes, it seems to be quite popular, there is nothing bad about it.” Yang Ze’s eyes just swept across a pancake stand.

“That’s natural. The market here is one of the closest markets to the inner city, and it is under the jurisdiction of the Xu Family. Those in Yuyang City who dare to make trouble here are really not eye-opening.”

Yang Ze’s eyes flashed for a moment, no wonder it looked so peaceful here, it turns out that this place is under the jurisdiction of the Xu Family.

Speaking of this Xu Family, it is the entire Southern City Ranked First family, and its momentum is still higher than that of the Yang Family. With the name of Xu Family in charge, it is normal that no one dares to make trouble.

Southern City is very big, there are many markets like this, and the Great Influence of Southern City is to divide up these markets. Some people want to occupy stalls and open shops in the market. , all need to obtain the consent of Great Influence and pay enough silver taels in advance to be eligible.

And every month in the future, the Great Influence that controls the market will come to charge a certain amount of “protection fee”. If someone can’t pay the protection fee, then they don’t need to do business here. .

And this market is very close to the inner city, so there are naturally fewer people who dare to make trouble, so the profits here will definitely be more than other places, and only Xu Family can be a family. swallowed alone.

But the situation in the city is not that simple. Besides these families, there are also gangs.

These Jianghu gangs are not someone who is easy to deal with. They do all kinds of business. When they become ruthless, they all directly compete for territory with those families in the inner city. Once there is a battle, they will not die. People can’t stop.

Gangs outside, including the Aristocratic Family in Yuyang City, often fight, which is a major factor in the chaos of the outer city. Once a battle occurs, the unlucky people are ordinary people.

As for the government in Yuyang City, the government can indeed be regarded as the strongest force in Yuyang City, but the combined strength of so many gangs and Aristocratic Family is far superior to the government, so the government You can only occasionally do something to disrupt the situation, including secretly sharing the soup, and you can’t stop this chaos.

But the premise is that the number of experts gathered by the Great Influence in Yuyang City can make the government fearful, otherwise, the garrison in Yuyang City is enough to clean up these forces.

Some of these things are in Yang Ze’s memory, and some are what he specially studied during this time. Otherwise, he really doesn’t know anything.

After seeing the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, he retracted his gaze. Compared with the bustling city scenery in his previous life, it still seemed a lot monotonous, and he was not interested in continuing to watch it.

Old Xie didn’t speak either, just drove the carriage moved towards the outside of the city.

He was silent on the road, and Yang Ze would only occasionally probe out to take a look. He finally saw Martial Artists other than Yang Family.

These Martial Artists are from Jianghu, some martial arts halls in the outer city, and other families, but no matter who they are, they seem to be very ordinary, and there is no Qi Guiding. Realm’s Martial Artist.

He also specifically asked Old Xie about this.

“Second Young Master, how easy is it to practice martial arts, martial arts requires strong qi and blood to practice, the easiest way to cultivate qi and blood is to have enough food, there are many ordinary outside The person’s family usually only has enough food to eat, and there is no surplus food to eat. Wherever there is strong Qi and blood to practice Qigong, the realm will naturally not be able to go up.”

This is the explanation of Old Xie, Yang Ze one. Listening to it, I also think it makes sense. If it was really easy to practice martial arts, the number of Qi Guiding Realm masters in Yang Family would have been increasing, not just a few.

It seems that his identity is not too bad, at least he can cultivate to Qi Guiding Realm when he is a teenager, which is considered excellent in the entire Yuyang City.

However, I have only just set foot on the first realm of Martial Arts, and there is still a long way to go.

It took two full hours for the carriage to arrive at the gate of Southern City, and Yang Ze in the carriage felt a little bored. Roughly calculated, he had walked a distance of several dozen li.

The carriage was walking in the main entrance lane in the center of the Southern City gate. When the guards saw that it was the Yang Family’s carriage, they ignored it and continued to chat with the guards.

“How is it, have you heard about the latest weird thing?”

“What’s the weird thing, hurry up and tell me, we’ve been here every day for a few days, where is it? I can have good news from you.”

“You don’t need to tell me about this, you will know sooner or later. My family has a distant relative who lives in Qin Family Mountain, a hundred miles away. He suddenly ran away three days ago. When he came to my house, he said there was a shortage of water outside the city, there was a drought, and now many villages around a radius of several hundred li have died.”

“Well, this person won’t be talking nonsense, right? , we have had a lot of rain this year, and the Fishdroop River is rolling outside, how can there be a drought and people will die.”

“Otherwise, how could I say that this is a strange thing, this thing I wouldn’t believe it if he said it alone, but the fact is that there have been a lot of people from various villages in the city recently. Now, some people want to go to the Fishdroop River to get water, but they all drowned in the Fishdroop River, you say this is evil.”

“Then this is really evil, does the above know? What happened under the Dao?”

“I already know, it is said that Constable Yuan in the city took the order of the Sir City Lord and brought people to investigate.

This time They all cheered me up. If something really happened outside, many people would definitely rush into the city. Don’t forget that there are thieves hiding in those hills outside. These thieves are not someone who is easy to deal with , if we rush into the city while the chaos, we will all be doomed.”

When these soldiers at the gate of Southern City were chatting, these words were heard by Yang Ze in the carriage.

Yang Ze didn’t know what was going on with this kind of wicked thing, so he could only ask Old Xie, but he didn’t expect Old Xie to be very serious this time and asked him not to ask more, Yang Ze also Don’t ask any more.

After reaching the official road outside the city, the carriage stopped.

“Second Young Master, don’t know what we are now?”

“According to the original plan, just walk around thirty miles.”

Old Xie immediately drove the carriage along the Northwest-bound trail, Yang Ze didn’t dare to take too much risk, the outside of the city was not like the inside of the city, there were wild beasts and bandits outside the city.

If you are far away from Yuyang City and go to any ravines, you will not know what will happen.

It’s just that the world seems to be really unstable. After the carriage walked along the trail for twenty miles, seventy or eighty robbers suddenly appeared on both sides of the trail and took Old Xie’s driver. The carriage is surrounded.

Ask for a collection and a recommendation ticket, a new book is really needed!
