Changle City is very large, but the city wall is not high, and it is very old, far less than the grandeur of Tiannan Giant City, but the city is huge, the streets and alleys are vertical and horizontal, and the shops are numerous. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

A group of carriages and horses drove into the city, and when they passed the city gate, Xu Yan glanced at the huge plaque above his head.

The golden plaque is a little strange, in addition to the three big characters of Changle City, there is a huge horn painted on each side, which looks a little nondescript.

Maybe it's because this Changle City Lord likes horns, and after a quick glance, Xu Yan didn't care too much, there are many people in this world who have weird hobbies, especially those who are high in the city.

Entering the city, the hustle and bustle is overwhelming.

Entering this Changle City, it is like coming to the important town of Dapu, there are many people doing business on the streets, and although the pedestrians are not too many, they can also be called lively.

The carriage and horse went straight to the city lord's mansion in the north of the city, and Chang Xin needed to deliver this month's share of the spirit grass.

On the way of the carriage and horses, he passed through a lot of streets and alleys, except for the two streets of north and south and east and west, which were lively, there were not many people in the rest of the streets and alleys, until he passed through half of Changle City, Xu Yan concluded that the residents of this Changle City were far less than he estimated.

Changle City, which is comparable to the important town of Dapu, has residents who can't even reach half of the people in those big cities in Dapu, or even less.

There are not many mortals in Baili Town, about two or three thousand, this Changle City is incomparably huge, and the mortals who live here say that there are only thirty or fifty thousand.

"What is the scale of other big cities, it doesn't seem that there are too many residents in Changle City. Xu Yan asked quietly in the car.

"It's almost the same, there are fewer people in Qianzu City than in Changle City. Chang Xin said truthfully, at this time, the carriage turned around the streets, and a huge mansion appeared in the distance, which was the city lord's mansion.

On the side of the City Lord's Mansion, a large courtyard was built, which was a place dedicated to the payment of spiritual grass, and there was a steward of the City Lord's Mansion sitting in charge, and at this time there was a team of carriages parked in front of the compound, which seemed to be other villages and towns that delivered spiritual grass.

Before they could reach the compound, the carriage was suddenly stopped, not only did the carriage stop, but the horses pulling the carriage made a sighing sound and were forcibly stopped.

"Is Brother Chang in Baili Town in the car?"

There was an inquiry outside, Chang Xin heard it familiar, and hurriedly lifted the curtain.

Stopping the carriage were two old men, fifty or sixty years old, thin and slender, with very similar appearances, who seemed to be a pair of brothers.

"It turned out to be two Zhao brothers. Seeing each other, Chang Xin wanted to get off the car to talk, but the other party waved his hand again and again to greet him, and Chang Xin boarded the carriage one step ahead.

As soon as the two got on the car, they found that there was a young man sitting in the carriage, and they couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

"Brother Chang, this is ......," one of the old men surnamed Zhao said hesitantly.

"This is my good friend, surnamed Xu Mingyan. Chang Xin first introduced Xu Yan, and then pointed to the two old men and introduced: "Brother Xu, these two are the monks of Chenlu Village, one is called Zhao Long, and the other is called Zhao Hu. ”

"Two Brother Zhao, it's polite. Xu Yan smiled and hugged his fists.

Zhao Long and Zhao Hu were polite at first, and then glanced at each other, as if there were some things that were not convenient to say.

"Brother Zhao, please tell me, Brother Xu is my great benefactor in Baili Town, so you don't have to see outside. Chang Xin saw that the two of them looked a little strange, and said first.

"Okay, Brother Chang, we'll have something to say. Zhao Long nodded heavily, looking at his brother Zhao Hu.

"Two days ago, the ten catties of alfalfa grass that Morning Dew Village exchanged for Brother Chang, we want to exchange it back. Zhao Hu frowned and said, "We were not in the village at that time, and when we came back, we learned that Baili Town had exchanged ten catties of alfalfa grass. ”

As soon as Zhao Hu said this, Chang Xin's face immediately changed, and he said in a deep voice: "The alfalfa grass was bought by our Baili Town with silver, and there is absolutely no reason to sell it back, and this time our Baili Town is only ten catties short, if we don't make up enough for 100 catties, there will be 100 heads on the ground, and our Baili Town has also helped Chenlu Village before, do you want to cut off the back road of my Baili Town?"

Chang Xin categorically refused the request of the two and asked him to return ten catties of alfalfa, and Baili Town would have to kill a hundred people.

"Don't hide it from Brother Chang, we haven't collected enough 100 catties of alfalfa grass in Chenlu Village this time......" Zhao Long said bitterly, and was interrupted by Zhao Hu before he finished speaking.

"Big brother, since Brother Chang refuses to return the ten catties of alfalfa, then forget it, we will no longer force it. ”

After speaking, Zhao Hu pulled Zhao Long out of the carriage and walked back to his own convoy, and the people of Chenlu Village entered the compound and delivered the spirit grass one step ahead of schedule.

An accident made Chang Xin angry.

Baili Town and Chenlu Village have a good relationship, and it is not unheard of to buy spirit grass from each other, this time it is obvious that Chenlu Village has collected enough alfalfa grass, otherwise it will not be sold to Baili Town.

"If it's not enough for a hundred catties, will it still be sold to us?" Chang Xin said angrily: "It seems that Chenlu Village is planning to stock up on some alfalfa grass in case of accidents, and the friendship between our two families is also over." ”

Shaking his head, Chang Xin, who sighed, led the convoy into the compound.

Reserve spirit grass, is indeed a means of prevention, at least next month if the collection is not enough 100 catties, you can also use the reserve of spirit grass to replenish, but in this way, the mutual support with the surrounding villages and towns will completely disappear, forming a separate situation.

Chang Xin was not only angry, but also very disappointed, but Xu Yan heard a little different.

That Zhao Long obviously didn't finish speaking, but was interrupted by Zhao Hu, if Chenlu Village didn't collect enough 100 catties of alfalfa grass, there must be an unknown secret in it.

I wanted to say goodbye and leave, but after seeing that Chang Xin was afraid of getting into trouble, Xu Yan hesitated for a moment and followed the convoy from Baili Town into the compound.

In the courtyard, a fat man with a shy chest and a belly was pointing fingers and instructing his subordinates to weigh the spirit grass.

He is one of the stewards of the city lord's mansion, named Niu An, it is said that this former surname was Ma, because the city lord of Changle City was called Niu Changle, he deliberately changed his surname to Niu, just to climb the city lord.

The people from Chenlu Village came in first, and the Zhao brothers nodded very respectfully to the fat steward Niu An, and there was a big scale in the yard, on which were placed the purple grass of Chenlu Village.

When all the spiritual grass was weighed, the fat steward Niu An pouted and said: "A hundred catties of alfalfa grass, there is not a lot of shortage, but the spiritual grass collected in your Morning Dew Village is too fresh, and the leaves are full of rain and dew. ”

"The cow steward is accommodating, and our morning dew village is indeed too heavy in the morning dew. Zhao Long hurriedly handed over a heavy small package, which contained either silver or other good things, and said good things in his mouth.

After receiving the package, Niu An's appearance smiled a little, nodded, and put the spirit grass into the warehouse.

After the delivery of Chenlu Village, Chang Xin immediately walked over with the carriage, and greeted the fat steward with the same humility, saying all the good things, although the alfalfa grass was enough for a hundred catties, it handed over other benefits like Zhao Long.

It is similar to the delivery task of the sect, except that it is the grandson who hands over the task, and the fat steward is the uncle.

Seeing this strange scene, Xu Yan couldn't help frowning, since Baili Town had successfully delivered the spirit grass, he wouldn't have much to do.

Everything went smoothly with the spirit grass delivered by Chang Xin, and when he finished handing over the spirit grass and just wanted to leave the compound, a city lord's mansion who was carrying the spirit grass to the warehouse suddenly missed and knocked over a box of spirit grass.
