Chapter 589: Determining the Location

In fact, the city before the Wei and Zhou dynasties was not Xiabu City, but a city called Sand Dune. This sand dune was also not the territory of the Roman Empire.

Wei Zhouquan, who arrived outside the city, took fifteen heavily armed team members, and under the watchful eyes of four white-robed guards, paid a silver coin to enter the city, and walked into Dune City. Although Wei Zhouquan's dress and configuration were a little unusual, because Wei Zhouquan behaved politely and paid the entrance fee without resistance, it could be judged that there was no hostility, so although the four white-robed guards were strange about Wei Zhouquan and the others' intentions, they did not stop them from entering the city.

Wei Zhouquan and the others entered Dune City along the way.

At the gate of the city, Wei Zhouquan saw five or six children about ten years old, playing together, and when he saw a small group of soldiers approaching the city, the children who were alarmed involuntarily stopped playing in their hands and looked at these strange strangers with innocent eyes.

Seeing these children, Wei Zhouquan suddenly thought, aren't these children the best guides?

At this time, there were still more than 2,000 people outside the city who were anxiously waiting for them to bring their supplies back, so Wei Zhouquan was here in Dune City, and the less time they spent was naturally the better, that is to say, it was best for Wei Zhouquan to find a guide who was familiar with all parts of Dune City to help them save time.

With a fixed mind, Wei Zhouquan beckoned to the group of children. These children were a little hesitant at first, and after looking at each other, only one of them seemed to be a little older, about sixteen or seventeen years old, I don't know if he was bolder, he ran over with a smile on his face, greeted Wei Zhouquan and them, and said, "Hello, I'm Adam." Sir, what do you need to order?" the kid had obviously guessed Wei Zhouquan's thoughts.

Adam is obviously a very common name, but this is not a question that Wei Zhouquan will want to care about at this time, in fact, no matter what the identity of this kid is, as long as he can do the job of a guide and be able to take Wei Zhouquan to where he needs to go, anyway, Wei Zhouquan is not prepared to reveal their identities and origins to the people here. Therefore, Wei Zhouquan decided to choose a suitable one among these children to lead the way for them.

Wei Zhouquan planned to see if Adam was familiar enough with Dune City first.

"I have a caravan and need to replenish some supplies and drinking water. I'm not familiar with Dune City, where should I go to buy supplies?" Wei Zhouquan asked Adam kindly.

"Oh, you can go to Bruson's shop, there are so many delicious foods, dry food, jerky, water, drinks, so many choices. Adam immediately said a long list, but obviously, all the items mentioned were only concentrated in the shop owned by the man named Bruson, which made Wei Zhouquan inevitably have the feeling that Adam seemed to be selling goods specifically for Bruson.

Wei Zhouquan smiled and asked Adam, "How much money did Boss Bruson give you?" ”

didn't think about it, Wei Zhouquan's tentative joke really made Adam suddenly show an embarrassed look, it seems that Wei Zhouquan guessed correctly.

Adam smiled and said frankly, "Boss Bruson promised us that if I helped him sell goods worth twenty silver coins, I would get one silver coin as a reward...... However, I don't mean to lie to you, although the owner of Bruson's shop sells things at a price that is a little more expensive than others, but the quality of his goods is guaranteed, and the store is also the largest, and the inventory is also sufficient, so I think I can sell it to you. Of course, if you want something cheaper, I can also take you to another store. I'm a guide, and I can take you to whatever you want to buy here. However, it can only be here in Dune, and it needs to be something that can be sold here, in which case, I promise. ”

Adam's words made Wei Zhouquan a little surprised, he really didn't think that he was looking for one of these children to be their guide at random, but the child would not do anything to them, but he really found a child who had been a guide. After taking a closer look at Adam, Wei Zhouquan didn't think that this kid might have any other thoughts except for the little caution he said. So, Wei Zhouquan smiled at him and said, "Okay, from now on, you are our guide." If you do it well, I will pay you handsomely. ”

"Thank you, sir, then, sir, have you decided where you want to go first?" Adam thought that Wei Zhouquan was tired of his sales pitch, so he could only confirm the destination with Wei Zhouquan first, so he asked first.

"Just go to Broughson's shop, I hope your introduction is correct. Wei Zhouquan smiled and responded. Wei Zhouquan didn't mind that Adam would take a cut of it, and he didn't mind that Bruson's things were sold more expensive than others', as long as it wasn't too outrageous, he thought that the number of items in his store was sufficient, the quality was good, and the items were complete, which could ensure that the purchase could be completed quickly.

"Then thank you, sir, please follow me, and I'll take you to Bruson's shop now. Adam answered.

At the moment, Adam led the way in front, and Wei Zhouquan and others followed behind him, acting all the way.

Dune City is indeed not big, and the so-called commercial area is actually a commercial street of less than 50 meters.

"This is Bruson's shop. Adam said, standing in front of a shop.

Wei Zhouquan nodded and walked in with the team members.

"Hello, Bruson shop pΓΉ, everything you need. A clerk came up and said.

"I need dry food, lots and lots of dry food. Wei Zhouquan said.

"No problem! How much do you want?" the clerk laughed.

"Prepare dry food for three thousand adults for two days and six meals!" Wei Zhouquan said.

The clerk was stunned for a moment, a little puzzled.

Wei Zhouquan smiled, took out a bag of Roman gold coins, threw them on the table, and said, "Here are three thousand gold coins! If you can prepare dry food in one day, I will give you all these gold coins." ”

When the clerk saw the gold coins in Wei Zhouquan's bag, he was taken aback and immediately went to call the shopkeeper. Such a big business has to ask the boss to nod.

After a while, the shopkeeper came out and negotiated business with Wei Zhouquan and them. Wei Zhouquan paid ten gold coins as a deposit, and then took the people away.

"Adam, we need a place to stay, and wait for Bruson's shop to get our supplies ready. Wei Zhouquan said.

"I know a good place to stay. Adam was very happy to see Wei Zhouquan come out and continue to ask him. He was worried that Wei Zhouquan would no longer use him as a guide.

"No need, we don't spend the night in the city, you find a place, let's take a break and eat something. Wei Zhouquan said.

"There is a restaurant in front and the environment is good. Adam said.

"Very well, I won't treat you badly. Wei Zhouquan said.

"Thank you, sir!" said Adam rejoicingly.

Then, Adam led Wei Zhouquan and them to a restaurant, ordered some food, and waited for news from Bruson's shop while eating, and sent someone to find out how far they were from the Shanying supply station. Walking in the wilderness area for several days, without supplies on the way, it was obviously a little difficult. If you inquire in advance, you can also make a more optimal route.

Of course, Wei Zhouquan did not deceive Adam, he really gave Adam a chance to make money. He was to buy five hundred hydration bags full of water, and for each hydration bag, he was willing to pay five silver coins. A hydration bag from which Adam can earn a silver coin. Five hundred water bags, that's five hundred silver coins. The condition is to hand over the water bag to Wei Zhouquan before the city gate is closed.

Then, Adam happily took Wei Zhouquan's advance and went to prepare the water bag.

Wei Zhouquan had a lot of Roman coins in his hand, enough for them to buy supplies for more than 2,000 people. However, these coins were the money they had robbed the Romans of.

"Team Wei, this dune city is not big, there are about more than 10,000 people in the city, only more than 7,000 people have a resident population, and the rest are mostly merchants and tourists. This city is located in the southeast of the Roman Empire, about 500 kilometers away from our mountain eagle base......"

After a while, the team members who went to inquire about the news came back and reported to Wei Zhouquan.

In addition to the news, the team also purchased several sheepskin maps.

Wei Zhouquan looked at the sheepskin map and was pleasantly surprised, he saw Hasara City, which was the range of the deputy captain Qihada's mission. Therefore, Wei Zhouquan deduced the location of the Shanying base very lightly. Indeed, as the team members said, they only need to walk another 500 kilometers to reach their destination.

"Very good!" Wei Zhouquan solemnly put the map into his backpack.

Two hours later, Bruson sent in to inform them that they were ready to carry the goods.

Wei Zhouquan immediately took the team members to count the goods and pay for the goods.

The transaction went smoothly, and no one embarrassed Wei Zhouquan for them, and the officials of Dune City collected some commercial taxes, and said that Dune City welcomed Wei Zhouquan and their caravan again. The people of Dune City regarded Wei Zhouquan and them as buyers of the caravan.

Coupled with the water bags prepared by Adam, the goods were complete, and Wei Zhouquan immediately hired several carriages to send the goods out of the city. Although the people in Dune City were very friendly, Wei Zhouquan didn't dare to stay for a long time, for fear that something would happen. At this time, Wei Zhouquan remembered the Romans who were pursuing them, and was curious about what the result of their battle with the barbarians was.

Fifty kilometers away from Qixia Mountain, in a small cave. The battle of Qixia Mountain has been going on for several days. Today's barbarian tribe, the high-ranking sorceress Lillian, is extremely depressed. She really didn't expect that they would be surrounded and annihilated by the Roman legions.

Two thousand barbarians in front of five thousand Roman legions, that's an egg against a stone. What's more, the barbarians actually went down the mountain and fought the Roman soldiers face to face. Whether it is weapons or equipment, the barbarians are completely defeated.

Therefore, Lilian left Qixia Mountain with the remaining five hundred barbarians, and had to give up the foundation of Qixia Mountain.

"Damn! What bad luck has happened to me! Three thousand barbarians, that's it. "Lily reassures herself that she does not want to take five hundred defeated soldiers to join other barbarian tribes.

At this time, Lillian was definitely unwilling to join other wizards. You must know that not long ago, she Lilian was also the main force involved in the great event of the barbarian nation. But in less than half a day, the base area was lost. If she took refuge in those wizards, she would be ridiculed.

"I, Lilian, am a Level 4 wizard and will never bow down to anyone. Lillian muttered to herself.

"Wizard, where are we going next?" asked Qihu.

When Lilian saw Qihu, she was furious, slapped him, and said, "It's all you, if it weren't for you, how would we end up in such a field." You still have the face to ask me what to do next?! Those Romans are like crazy, chasing after us, it's so hateful!"

"My sir, I guess they're not chasing us, they're chasing the people we've fought before. Qihu said.

Lilian slapped Qihu again and said, "You don't have any eyes at all, how many of the people who can be hunted down by the Roman legions of the Roman Empire are simple characters!" She was angry that Qihoo had no eyesight and ambushed people who shouldn't have been ambushed.

"Master Wizard, please forgive me, give me a chance to make meritorious deeds!" Qihu said in a panic.

Lilian looked at the sparsely numbered barbarians and sighed, she really didn't want to kill Qihu. There are fewer and fewer people under his hands, and even fewer barbarians like Qihoo who have their own brains. After killing Qihu, Lilian will have to support another Qihu, not counting.

"I'll give you a chance!" Lily paused, and continued, "We're going to pick the mountain paths. These Romans are all cavalry, and they must not be willing to abandon their horses and follow us up the mountain. ”

"Lord Wizard is wise!" Qihu and a group of other barbarians complimented.

Lilian divined, pointed to the northeast, and said, "Just go in this direction, there is less risk." ”

Several carriages left Dune City and arrived at Wei Zhouquan's camp outside the city.

With the help of hundreds of people, the truck was unloaded, and Wei Zhouquan asked the groom to drive back to Dune City on his own.

"These items, the members of the Mountain Eagle Special Combat Team, each of them must bring enough food and drink for three days. The rest of the supplies were handed over to the 800 militiamen for safekeeping, and each person carried some, and then, at regular intervals, distributed them to the people for consumption. ”

No one objected to Wei Zhouquan's arrangement. The 800 militiamen were the young men elected from the 2,000 people, and they were all blood relatives. Wei Zhouquan told them that the whole team still had to walk 500 kilometers, and no one would think about eating and drinking secretly. Moreover, the eight hundred militia were also divided into eight squads by Wei Zhouquan, led by eight Mountain Eagle members, and the militia squads also supervised each other and did not waste food and water.
