The heavy wind and snow had already disappeared not far away from Northeast Military Region. Because Zhang Tie moved too fast and the distance was too long, he had already passed many regions with different climates in 6-7 hours. The further south he was, the higher the temperature would be and the gentler the north wind would be. When he arrived at Jinghe Prefecture, Jiangzhou Province, although it was still a bit chilly, it was already warmer than that of Youzhou Province.
The Class A city in Zhang Tie's sight was many times larger than Youzhou City, which was extremely magnificent.
Xuanyuan Hill didn't have city walls; however, the Class A city in Zhang Tie's sight had extremely eye-catching red city walls. Looking down from the sky, the 70-m high red city walls were like four arms of giants or four fortresses, which surrounded the entire city.
Given the prosperity of cities, besides Xuanyuan Hill, this city definitely ranked top in Zhang Tie's memory.
The city was densely packed with tall buildings, and the towns outside the city were scattered like stars in the sky. The wide Jing River flowed past the city from west to east. The north bank of the river was packed with boats, while the south bank was a vast field that stretched as far as the eye could see …
This city was Datang City, the private city of Xuanyuan Wuji, the third prince of Xuanyuan Wuji.
The sky was still dark. Although there was no snow in Jiangzhou, the approaching winter still made the sky a little gloomier at night. The starlight was weak. It was just before dawn, and Datang City, which lay on the north bank of the Jing River, was still asleep. Few people were moving about. Only the airships that took off silently from outside the city and the ships that were anchored at the docks outside the city were silently announcing the hard work of the crew and sailors of the two professions.
It only took Zhang Tie a few seconds to approach this city from 200 miles away from it.
The traffic network of Datang City was dense, including water, land and air. Looking down from the sky, Zhang Tie saw the roads and railways crisscrossing like cobwebs; especially railways. As the hub of Jinghe Prefecture, Datang City was connected with 6 railways.
When Zhang Tie was flying at a high speed in the sky, a steam train was spurting steam and white smoke towards Datang City at the speed of 80 km/h with a series of carriages.
Previously, Zhang Tie wanted to fly directly to Datang City; however, at the sight of that passenger train, he instantly slowed down. After flashing a few times, he directly landed on the stair outside the tail of the last carriage of the train.
Nobody was guarding the back of the last carriage. The train was running on the rails. Nobody noticed that one more person had appeared at the back of the train.
In such a train, the last carriage was usually where the luggage was stored. There was a door at the end of the carriage for loading and unloading luggage. At the same time, the carriage at the end of the carriage was also connected to the other carriages in the train, so one could enter the train from the end.
The door at the end of the carriage was locked. However, how could such a lock trouble Zhang Tie? Only after throwing a glance at it, Zhang Tie had opened the door silently. Zhang Tie then pulled open the door and entered the carriage. When he closed the door, he found that the door at the end of the carriage was locked once again.
This carriage was indeed filled with various luggage. As there were too many luggage, the entire carriage was filled with the smell of leather oil.
The entire carriage was sealed like a can. The air inside the sealed carriage was a bit turbid. There was an aisle in the middle of the carriage, on which was a common fluorite lamp, which gave out dim light. On both sides of the aisle were two-tier luggage racks. Leather cases and wooden cases, large or small, were piled up all over the carriage.
Zhang Tie walked along the aisle towards the front door of the carriage. In this carriage, Zhang Tie even saw a cockatoo in a cage. At the sight of Zhang Tie, the cockatoo wanted to open its mouth.
"Hush..." Zhang Tie made a gesture to keep quiet. Closely after that, the cockatoo closed its mouth and eyes at once.
The lock of the front gate was also locked. However, when Zhang Tie walked to the front, the lock and the gate opened themselves silently like a humble servant.
A fat man in a grey-blue uniform was snoring on the seat outside the door of the carriage with a blanket over his body. He didn't notice Zhang Tie's arrival at all. After walking out of the last carriage, Zhang Tie walked towards the front carriage.
At this moment, most of the people on the train were sleeping. The curtains of the carriages were all pulled up. Very few people were walking in the aisle. Only the monotonous and dull sound of the train running on the rails drifted into the carriage. The moment Zhang Tie passed by two carriages, he had met the purser who was inspecting the train.
There was an obvious mark on the clothes of the purser. Additionally, this purser was almost as old as Zhang Tie's dad.
There was a thief on the train. Zhang Tie who was walking in the carriage at this moment instantly attracted the purser's attention. Gazing at Zhang Tie, the purser walked towards him with a vigilant and judgmental look. The moment he wanted to say something...
"It's not comfortable to sit here. Can you take me to my compartment?" Zhang Tie watched the purser as a bizarre light flashed across his eyes. Zhang Tie then told the purser using his battle qi.
After hearing Zhang Tie's words, the purser's vigilant and judgmental look disappeared at once; instead, it was replaced by a respectful and enthusiastic look as if he had seen an old acquaintance.
"Ahh, Childe Liu, follow me. I've reserved the deluxe chartered box for you. Your chartered box is in front of us. Let me take you there right now …" After saying that, the purser turned around and led Zhang Tie to an empty chartered box among the three carriages in front of them respectfully.
"Thank you!" Zhang Tie turned around and put a gold coin in the purser's hand when he entered the compartment.
"It's my pleasure, it's my pleasure. Childe Liu, it's my pleasure..." the purser smiled like a blooming flower. After declining it slightly, he took the gold coin from Zhang Tie, "Childe Liu, if you need anything, just let me know..."
After closing the door of the compartment, Zhang Tie revealed a smile as he directly lay down on the bed and closed his eyes to rest his mind...
Outside the private room, after the purser left the room with a smile on her face …
"Ah, head, who's that..." a conductor on the train asked out of curiosity when he saw the purser leading Zhang Tie to the vacant luxury chariot.
"Childe Liu!" The purser said as he shook his head. Closely after that, under the gaze of the conductor, he frankly put the gold coin into his pocket, "This young master of a rich family is indeed different. He wanted to experience the hard seat when he got on the train in Flying Feather City. Now that he couldn't stand it anymore, he had to return to the chartered compartment..."
"Oh!" That conductor nodded as if he understood it. He didn't ask more about it. However, he admired the purser for knowing so many big shots. What an extra income!
...
3 hours later, as the day broke, Zhang Tie got off the train in the east station of Datang City...
