A hunting adventure [unlimited]

The streets of Wangdu are paved with countless fan-shaped crushed stones. Exquisitely carved stone statues of fountains can be seen everywhere at the intersections. Or pearl oysters, with vivid expressions and lifelike expressions.

Legend has it that the mermaids are the messengers of the god of the ocean, Xihanna, and they will bring happiness and peace to the people of the god, as well as the treasures buried in the deep sea.

A long street named "Safir Avenue" runs through the capital like a central axis, leading directly from outside the city to the main gate of the palace. The road is wide and straight, and it is the only way for the queen to return to the palace.

Guided by kind people, Yu Zhen took a simple map drawn by a silver-haired man on cloth with charcoal, groped along the avenue, and finally entered the capital.

However, as soon as he entered the city, he lost the opportunity to move freely.

The city was full of gongs and drums, and the almost crazy people swarmed into the noisy neighborhood like bison on steroids.

As an innocent passer-by, Yu Zhen was sucked into the raging crowd just because he took one more look, and became a sardine in the torrent, struggling to the death but unable to escape the fate of suffocation.

Saffir Avenue is covered with an endless bright red carpet, the blue national flag is fluttering in the wind, densely packed human heads piled up on both sides of the street, and the citizens who were chased and scolded by the guards carried flower baskets and held holly branches in their arms, and threw them in the direction where the guard of honor came. bouquets; their faces were filled with happy smiles, and they cheered enthusiastically.

"Long live Goddess Sihanna! The kingdom of Sihanna is immortal!"

"God bless you my Majesty!"

The loud roars of the women filled Yu Zhen's brain, and when he heard the sound of clothes being torn apart in the crowd, his brain immediately exploded——

What silk are you wearing!Fragile and easy to wrinkle!Become a beggar in minutes!

Yu Zhen gritted his teeth to stabilize his body that was being squeezed and swayed from side to side, and he tried his best to stretch out his head—it's all coming, of course, he can't forget to watch the excitement.

The palace guards are also all tall women, dressed in neat and elegant white military uniforms, with gold trim around the neckline and plackets; they have good faces, beautiful features, and they look colder and sharper without makeup.Her beautiful eyes stared straight ahead, and there was an unkind chill between her brows.

The legendary queen is riding on a red horse. She is wearing a black hunting suit, her long hair is pulled up and covered by a veiled round hat, the tip of her nose is delicate under the black veil, and her lips are bright red; the corners of her lips are curved confidently And generous, he straightened his back to accept the cheers and love of the people, and waved his slender arms from time to time to greet the crowds on both sides of the street.

Yu Zhen was speechless on the spot——

That was Du Wen. Although he couldn't see the upper half of her face clearly, he definitely wouldn't mistake her iconic smile.

This is not the part that surprised him the most, the more unbelievable scene is that the queen's horse is followed by several "hounds"; Like an animal, it crawled forward on the ground, and its mouth was covered with a metal cage to prevent people from being bitten. The collar on the neck was worn out when the rope was pulled, and the skin was stained with blood.

Yu Zhen's Adam's apple rolled up and down, he was dumbfounded, but no one around him objected to it.

The crowd was crowded and pushing, and physical contact was inevitable. As soon as Yu Zhen was distracted, a scalding heat approached the back of his neck maliciously!He grabbed the finger that was about to retract behind him in time, and looked back——

At some point beside her stood a bad girl with a scorpion tattoo on her forehead.

She held a cigarette between her fingers, her eyes were provocative, she didn't care about being caught by the client, and she even lowered her head to take a puff of cigarette in the position of being clamped by Yu Zhen, then raised her face, and the smoke she exhaled sprayed on his face.

"What are you looking at? Do you want to call for help?" the girl said confidently.

Yu Zhen looked coldly at the cigarette in her hand, did she really want to use his neck as an ashtray?

He threw away her hand and warned solemnly, "Stay away from me."

The girl laughed disapprovingly, "You are very arrogant."

Yu Zhen didn't want to be in a stalemate with her, he squeezed through the crowd, trying to get away from this absurd world and all the unreasonable malice; but the new characters in the team completely boiled the whole street!

"Look! That's the Queen's brother!"

"Our Royal Highness!"

The queen's younger brother, Du Wen's younger brother, who else could there be besides Du Yu?Dreaming that I became a prince, I have to say that I am very narcissistic.

Yu Zhen turned around following the call, and a figure riding a white horse was reflected in his eyes——

The grown-up Du Yu was riding on a horse. He said he had grown up, but in fact he was only eighteen or nineteen years old, a boy who just looked like an adult; his black hair was a bit long, partly loose and partly tied, and he was wearing a black riding suit with gold buttons and silver patterns. , the riding boots hooped the calf straight, and the figure was tall and upright.Du Yu's thin cheeks looked like a statue bathed in holy light in the setting sun, with broken stars in his eyes, neither sad nor happy, he swept across the noisy crowd calmly.

At that second, Yu Zhen's gaze met Du Yu's gaze, and the wind blew the other's hair. While the hair was covered, the stars in Du Yu's eyes flowed into Yu Zhen's heart like the Milky Way falling from the sky, and turned into Yu Zhen's heart again. As thousands of butterflies fluttered from his throat—

Yu Zhen was dumbfounded for a moment, his chest was filled with a pounding heartbeat, and a line from an old movie flashed in his mind:

He receives a glimpse from heaven and is then abandoned on the streets of Safir. *1

***

In the evening, Yu Zhen found the tavern on the east side of the capital with the simple map memorized in his mind.

The tavern owner is a man in his thirties, with maroon curly hair loosely draped over his left shoulder, red lips and white teeth, but the eye makeup is too heavy, standing in front of the wine cabinet exudes a drunken and coquettish look.

Yes, coquettish.Every man in the capital wears makeup to some extent. His hair may be dyed or bleached. The colors are changeable and the shades are different. The delicate skin is carefully maintained, and the thin and slender body is strictly maintained; The burqa concealed his shy figure.

Yu Zhen memorized the appearance of every passer-by along the way. The age of women is relatively average, ranging from four or five-year-old children to half-century old people. Compared with the delicate women he recognizes in reality as "naturally beautiful", women in the empire are called To be rough, they are busy with work and livelihood, and only try to maintain a decent and tidy appearance.

However, the age of passer-by males is concentrated between 15 and 40 years old. It is not normal to see none of the younger or older males. The teenagers and young males try their best to dress themselves up, like ostriches Peacock in bloom.

Yu Zhensu's face was turned upside down, her clothes were disheveled, and she attracted a lot of stares along the way.

It was still early, and the tavern was quiet. The boss folded his arms and looked at him with interest: "Hey, little beauty, what are you looking for?"

Yu Zhen: "... just take a look."

"You are poor money." The boss said, looking at his clothes.

As soon as Yu Zhen lowered his head, his thin shirt was crumpled out of shape, with several rips in the sleeves, and the belt was unraveled; well, he really looked like he was short of money.

"Excuse me here..."

Before he could ask, the boss said first, "There is no shortage of people in the shop, just look for a job and look outside the door."

Yu Zhen said thank you, and politely retreated outside the tavern.

The current situation is that he found Du Yu, which is a good thing; but it may be necessary to approach Du Yu through unconventional means, which is a bad thing.

There is a notice board in front of the tavern, posting all kinds of missing person notices, arrest warrants and recruitment information, which is dazzling.

Before Yu Zhen stepped close, she was preempted by a female worker carrying a glue bucket; she stopped, dipped a brush into the glue, applied it to a blank space, took out a new piece of paper from the roll paper held by her elbow, smoothed it out, and pasted it Go up, hum a song and leave.

Yu Zhen walked over, and the latest recruitment notice posted said: The palace is recruiting male servants, with a height of 180 and above, aged 15-28, good image and temperament, interview for treatment.

Godsend opportunity!
