There is a wharf and port on the river, and many goods are more convenient and cheaper to go in and out of the waterway than by land, and it is this waterway, coupled with the natural topography and materials here, that the Lu Shi clan spared no effort to build a male city here, that is, the water source city in front of Zhao Hong now, the water source city is named water source because of this river, this is just a border land, and the war will not be fought here, but because of this trade route that can make money, the army still arranged a force to be stationed here.

Water Source City is quite peaceful, in recent decades, there are only a few sporadic water thieves and bandits, all of whom are harassing and looting outside, and under the purging of the legion, the bandits with no background have basically been swept away.

The most serious one in recent decades is that under the beating of people with hearts, dozens of gangs of bandits jointly broke through the walls of Shuiyuan City, that is, that time, Lu Shi Langong escaped from the battle, carrying a lifetime of stigma until his death.

The most majestic city that Zhao Hong had ever seen in the southern wilderness was the City of Thorns, a huge city built in the endless sea of thorns.

Of course, there is no way to compare Water Source City with Thorn City, and compared to Thorn City, Water Source City has become a small city no matter how majestic it is.

But even so, the majesty of Shuiyuan City is enough to be amazing, after all, Shuiyuan City is not the main city of the Lu Shi clan, nor is it a strategic point, but it can still have such a scale, it can only be said that the Lu Shi clan has a strong heritage.

Zhao Hong speculated that the Lu Shi clan, as the right-hand man of the barbarian king, her strength must be not weaker than the Thorn Battle Hall, or even surpass the Thorn Battle Hall.

Zhao Hong came to the water source city of the Lu Shi clan in rags, and there were many people queuing up to enter the city at the main gate, mostly people from some settlements outside the city, bringing crops, fabrics, and the fruits of fishing and hunting to be sold in the city.

Zhao Hong didn't know if his identity as a legionnaire could go directly into the city, but in order to be low-key and not cause trouble, he still followed the line behind, and followed the team into the city little by little, Zhao Hong wanted to be low-key, but he was ragged and covered with mud, which was really different, and the clothes were torn, which could be described as unclothed. It's just barely covering some key parts, of course, if you look at it from the side, it's okay to say that it's not on gear.

Zhao Hong's outfit was immediately regarded as a madman, and at this time, a man who sold fish behind Zhao Hong looked at Zhao Hong, frowned, and then reminded Zhao Hong.

"Child, it's the first time you've come here, the gate of Shuiyuan City is very big, and there are only a few times a day when you need to queue up when you enter the city, and when you enter the city, you will be charged a certain degree of transaction tax if you have goods, and pedestrians without goods actually don't have to queue, you see the vacant place over there, it is pedestrians who walk. Go over there and into the city, don't stand in front of me. ”

Zhao Hong followed the team for a few steps, heard someone talking to him, and looked back to see that it was a man with a wrinkled face reminding him not to queue up.

"Look over there, there's a walker, yes, it's the woman holding the baby, look at him walking past...... Go in, how about it, I didn't lie to you, you don't have to pay taxes if you walk, don't make trouble in our team, hurry up over there. ”

"Oh, thanks. ”

Zhao Hong followed the man's instructions, and sure enough, he saw a woman holding a child walking in and no one stopped him, so he knew that he could enter the city directly. After thanking him, he left the group and walked into the city from that side.

Zhao Hong was just about to enter the city, but was recognized by the soldiers guarding the city.

In this peacetime now, passers-by generally don't pay too much attention, but Zhao Hong's outfit is too special, which attracts the soldiers defending the city to look back.

Zhao Hong was gray-headed and ragged, but he was still recognized by the sharp-eyed soldier at a glance, and then shouted excitedly: "Wait, I know you! You are a deserter! The brothers arrested him, and we will get rich!"

When the soldiers defending the city heard that they had found the deserters, they were all excited.

You must know that there is a bounty for catching deserters.

When the soldiers defending the city heard that it was a deserter, they all excitedly drew their weapons. is going to arrest Zhao Hong.

Zhao Hong didn't want to cause trouble, so he hurriedly explained: "I'm not a deserter, I was seriously injured when I went out of the city to do errands, and I couldn't come back for a while. ”

As he spoke, he raised his left arm, which had become scarred and terrifying due to drug persecution, to show that he was not lying.

The soldiers defending the city sneered: "Injured? Why don't I see any injuries? I think this kid must have some ulterior motive in pretending! Brothers!"

In order to make meritorious contributions, this soldier guarding the city didn't care what Zhao Hong said.

Seeing that he meant to be ready to rush up, slash Zhao Hong to serious injuries, or even kill him directly, and then receive a bounty.

Faced with this situation, Zhao Hong was also helpless, these people were ready to kill themselves to receive merit, originally Zhao Hong wanted to keep a low profile, but now he had to do it.

"Stop it, what do you want to do?"

The captain here also rushed over when he found out about the commotion here, and immediately scolded him when he saw the situation here.

"Lan Gong is also a soldier in the legion, and his rank is higher than yours, do you dare to do anything to him to rebel? Although there is news above that he defected, but it is also possible that there is a misunderstanding, this kind of thing is not unprecedented, it is generally believed that defection is a few months, but Lan Gong is only one day to be said to defect, this is definitely not normal, you are really ready to participate in it? And since he has returned to the city, of course he will go to report, whether he defected or not at that time has its own conclusion, when will it be your turn to decide? If the people above suddenly say that Lan Gong did not defect, can you afford this crime?"

was reprimanded by the captain, and these greedy soldiers also came to their senses and put away their killing intent.

The captain looked at Zhao Hong, and then walked up to Zhao Hong with a smile.

"Although you can rest assured that I am here, they dare not touch you, I was shocked when I heard that you defected at first, after all, we have known each other for so many years, I still understand your temper and loyalty, if even you have defected, then I am afraid that no one in this city is loyal." Now I'm relieved to see you reappear. ”

As he spoke, he looked at Zhao Hong's left arm.

"Go to a doctor, get some medicine, the wound won't be healed if you leave it like this. ”

As he spoke, he waved his hand and motioned for Zhao Hong to leave.

Zhao Hong didn't say anything, glanced at the captain, turned around and left.

This captain obviously knows Lu Shi Langong, and the two are not necessarily friends, but at least they are acquaintances.
