Chapter 281 Buying Yew Wood
"Okay, just be a cousin. I hope you go out for a walk, okay?"
Seeing what Qian Fei'er said, Qian Linjue couldn't refuse, so she nodded and agreed in a haughty tone.
"Okay, this young master made an exception and agreed to you, but don't be too happy, this is just my young master's whim, not for you."
Qian Fei'er smiled. She knew Qian Linjue's character well since she was a child, of course she knew that Qian Linjue had a sharp mouth and a heart, and she wanted to save face by being arrogant.
After exhorting Qian Linjue again, Qian Fei'er took out a piece of paper with the name and characteristics of the item to be purchased on it.
Qian Linjue took it, turned around and walked out of the Fengjianzong restaurant with Fu Rui.
Behind her, Qian Fei'er glanced at her cousin's back and snapped her fingers.
A black shadow came out of danger not far away, with its toes on the ground, it appeared in front of Qian Fei'er in the next second.
The person who came was wearing a black cloak with a hood. His face was old. He was one of Qian Fei'er's four guards titled Douluo, Cloud Armor Douluo Bu Yunjia.
Buyunjia saluted Qian Fei'er respectfully.
"Miss Fei'er, are you going to secretly protect Young Master Qian Linjue?"
Bu Yunjia followed Qian Feier all the year round, and he could guess Qian Feier's thoughts sometimes.
Qian Feier nodded.
"Well, send Iron Fist to protect him secretly, be careful not to be discovered."
"Yes!" Buyunjia responded respectfully, and disappeared in a flash.
Qian Fei'er arranged guards on this side, and on the other side, Qian Linjue and Fu Rui each used their martial arts and were ready to go to the gate of Fengjianzong.
The buildings and roads of Fengjianzong are built against the mountain, and the road goes all the way down. Neither of them walked, but chose to fly.
Qian Linjue's flight is undoubtedly the angel Wuhun spreading its six wings and preparing to glide directly, while Fu Rui's flight is a very magical way-Yujian flight!
Yes, it really is Edgeworth Flight.
On the mountainside of Fengjianzong, three soul rings, two yellow and one purple, rose from Fu Rui's feet, and the extremely dangerous sword of startling salamander appeared in his hand.
The sword is three feet long, with double-bladed body, straight head and sharp front end. There are double blood grooves in the center of the sword body. The sword grid is like a fish fin. The end of the hilt is decorated with fish heads.
Fu Rui held the Shocking Salamander Sword in his hand, and the second yellow century-old soul ring on his body shone brightly, and he sipped in a low voice: "Sword Control, get up!"
As her words fell, the Shocking Salamander Sword slowly floated in the air, and then hovered in front of her.
Fu Rui glanced at it, stepped on the blade of the Shocking Salamander Sword with both feet, and then the Shocking Salamander Sword accelerated, with a white streamer behind it, flying towards the mountain gate at the foot of the mountain as if chasing the stars and the moon.
Qian Linjue used her angel spirit to glide behind Fu Rui, and looked at the flying figure in front of her curiously. This was the first time he had seen the legendary sword control technique.
After the two flew away, a black shadow appeared at the place where the two had just stood. The man's face was old, his arms were far stronger than ordinary people, and he was wearing a black hooded cloak. It was the four title fighters beside Qian Fei'er. One of Luo Zhong, Iron Fist Douluo.
Iron Fist Douluo glanced at the direction in which Qian Linjue and the two left, pointing his toes, his figure appeared tens of meters away, and pointing again, he swept away tens of meters in an instant...
Heavy Yucheng.
This is a big city, which can be seen only from the defense and height of the outer city walls.
The city wall of Chongyu City is 12 meters high, and there is a protruding "horse face" every 50 meters or so. There is also an "urn city" outside the main gate. Outside the wall, the average width of the moat reaches 50 meters. The degree of defense and fortification far exceeds the capital of the Tiandu Empire, which is enough to show its importance.
The reason for this is entirely because there is an important facility in Chongyu City - the big granary.
To the south of Chongyu City is the mountain range where Fengjianzong is located, while the other three sides are all flat basins and plains.
Surrounded by mountains on all sides, with a low valley in the center, the unique geographical environment makes Chongyu city warm and humid, with abundant rainfall, and grain can be produced in three seasons a year. Coupled with the fertile soil, Chongyu city will usher in a bumper harvest every year.
It is precisely because of this that Chongyu City built the largest granary other than Tiandou City, the Chongyu Dacang, in which more than a quarter of the Tiandu Empire's grain was stored year-round. The noodles can be transported to the canal, and then directly to the capital of the Tiandu Empire.
From the west, you can enter the river and directly send grain and grass to the border of Tiandu, and send it to the vicinity of Jialing Pass.
For such an important granary, its defense is naturally extremely important.
At this moment, on the avenue outside Chongyu City, two figures, a man and a woman, are rapidly approaching.
This is a man and a woman, the man has short blond hair, and his expression is rebellious, as if everything in the world is ignored.The woman next to her had a cold face, which was somewhat similar to the man next to her.
One of them had wings on his back, and the other had a flying sword on his feet. They were Qian Linjue and Fu Rui who came to Chongqing City to help Qian Feier buy things.
When approaching the gate of the city, the two landed on the ground.
Fu Rui turned to look at Qian Linjue and asked, "Linjue, what did Miss Qian Feier ask us to buy?"
"I want to take a look at this." Qian Linjue said, taking out the paper given by Qian Fei'er from her soul tool bracelet.
The name of the item to be purchased is written on the paper, as well as its characteristics.
Yew, evergreen trees or shrubs; branchlets alternate irregularly, with many or a few persistent bud scales at the base, rarely all fall off; winter bud scales are imbricate, with obvious or not obvious longitudinal ridges on the back.
Its leaves are strip-shaped, spiral-shaped, twisted at the base and arranged in two rows, straight or sickle-shaped, growing downward, with a raised midrib above, and two light gray, gray-green or light yellow stomatal belts below, no resin in the leaves road.
Dioecious, cones solitary in leaf axils; male cones spherical, stalked, with imbricate bracts at the base, 6-14 stamens, peltate, 4-9 anthers, arranged radially;
Female cones are almost sessile, with many imbricate bracts at the base, 2-3 pairs of bracts at the upper end cross-opposite, ovules are upright, solitary in the bract axils at the top of the lateral short axis on the upper part of the total floral axis, at the base The disc-shaped receptacle develops into a fleshy, cup-shaped, red aril after fertilization.
Yew seeds are nut-shaped, mature in the same year, born in the cup-shaped fleshy aril, rarely on the membranous disk-shaped seed receptacle (that is, the pearl receptacle that has not developed into a fleshy aril), and the hilum is obvious , fleshy aril red when mature, short-stemmed or almost sessile; 2 cotyledons, unearthed when germination.
After reading them one by one, Qian Linjue felt that his head was extremely big. The writing seemed very detailed, but after reading it, he was at a loss and didn't know what it was.
Next to him, Fu Rui poked his head and took a look, then directed his eyes to Qian Linjue, and suggested, "Why don't you just ask the owner of the timber shop, it's simple and convenient."
"Well, you're right. I didn't expect you to be quite capable." Qian Linjue glanced proudly and put away the paper.
Fu Rui frowned slightly, but it soon relaxed. Qian Linjue talked like this every day, and she was almost used to it.
After being interrogated by the guarding soldiers, the two entered the city smoothly. After asking passers-by for directions, they learned the location of the timber shop.
Qian Linjue glanced in the direction of the lumber shop, and took the lead to move forward, "Let's go."
This time he bought wood to go straight to the point, and didn't stay in Chongyu City, because he didn't have Linglu or Zijin to accompany him, so it wasn't interesting to wander around alone.
"En." Fu Rui responded, and raised his heels.
Both of them walked very fast, and after a while, they came to the wood shop.
Entering the store, Qian Linjue saw the boss and went straight to the point.
"Boss, do you have yew here?" Qian Linjue asked.
"No." The boss replied directly.
"Huh?" Qian Linjue was a little speechless, so there is no such thing?
Fu Rui glanced at the side, and suggested: "Let's go to another store and ask."
Qian Linjue frowned and nodded, agreeing.
Next, the two went out of the store together, and asked again at several nearby wood stores, but unfortunately, there was no yew wood for sale at all.
Not only that, but one of the shopkeepers also told Qian Linjue that yew trees were not produced near Chongyu City, and that to buy yew trees, one had to go to the vicinity of the Elephant Armor Sect.
Is it the Elephant Armor sect?
Qian Linjue thought about it and decided to go back.
Now that there are no more yew trees, he has nothing else to buy, nothing to do, he might as well go back to read comics or go fishing, if that's not the case, he can ask Zijin to play the guitar and listen to her.
After thinking about it, Qian Linjue asked Fu Rui, "Fu Rui, can I go back now?"
Fu Rui hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
In fact, she still wanted to take a stroll in Chongqing City, but since Qian Linjue said so, she couldn't say anything to refute it.
With Fu Rui's consent, Qian Linjue turned around and walked in the direction she came and went, and Fu Rui followed quickly.
The two walked for a while, and suddenly, there was a loud noise not far ahead.
Qian Linjue looked forward and saw a few middle-aged men grabbing a little girl who was only eleven or twelve years old. The little girl struggled desperately, but to no avail, she couldn't break free from the clutches of those men.
The girl cried loudly. In front of her was a middle-aged woman who looked somewhat similar to her. She seemed to be the girl's mother.
The woman sat on the ground, hugging a man's leg, crying heartbreakingly, begging bitterly.
"My lord, please, let my daughter go, she is only 11 years old..."
The man's face was full of flesh and blood, and he kicked the woman away with one kick.
"Go away, it's only natural to pay off the debt. If your husband can't pay back the money, he will use your daughter to pay off the debt. There's nothing to say!"
The woman cried louder, her voice full of despair.
"You lend him one thousand gold coins, and he will pay back one hundred thousand a month. Who can pay it back, woo woo..."
The man grinned grimly, "Go away, he asked for this, it was clearly written in black and white, can I still cheat?"
