As the saying goes, the palace of the king of Qin, the family of the world, except for Luoyang, Qingzhou.

This statement is not unreasonable. Qingzhou is famous, rich and golden, and the roads extend in all directions, and it has become a place where countless merchants live.

There are two routes to get from Cheongju to Ansan. First, it is necessary to travel 2,000 miles around the official road, and it will take at least half a year to take a carriage. The second is to cross the Warcraft Mountain Range, which only takes 200 miles to penetrate directly into the hinterland of Ansan County.

Oh, by the way, this place can no longer be called the Warcraft Mountain Range, it is more appropriate to call it the Qinling Mountain Range.

The further south you go, the lower the level of the monsters in the mountain range. Therefore, the branch that spreads south from the Warcraft Mountain Range is called the Qinling Mountain Range by the locals.

If you want to cross the mountains, you need to walk 2,000 miles from the official road to Ansan-gun. It only takes 200 miles to cross the Qinling Mountains.

Although the itinerary is twenty times different, the vast majority of merchants or travelers choose to spend less than half a year choosing the former, because crossing the Qinling Mountains is a great risk.

Among them, the terrain of the mountains is intricate, with ancient trees, vines and jungle swamps. If you are a little unlucky, you encounter a group of demonic beasts passing by, or a few extremely powerful demonic beasts, it is even more difficult to escape death.

But that's for the vast majority. In the territory of Qingzhou, there is an extremely powerful and wealthy army called the caravan.

Groups of merchants spontaneously formed gangs and hired a large number of skilled men to deliver goods. When the strong gather to a certain extent, they have the capital to cross the Qinling Mountains. And Qin Hao came to Qingzhou precisely to find a caravan to accompany him.

Walking within the boundaries of Qingzhou, Qin Hao suddenly had a refreshing feeling. Compared with the simplicity and quietness of Luoyang Long Street, it is much more noisy and prosperous, with an endless stream of merchants coming and going, and the headquarters of the largest caravan Treasure Pavilion is located here, which also causes the smell of copper on the street.

Qin Hao, who was born in poverty, did not hate this taste, but had a hint of joy. Who hates money? Those saints who regard money as dung are nothing more than hypocrisy.

After wandering around the street for a long time, Qin Hao found a restaurant that was quite clean and secluded, and sat down, wanting to serve a dish, a soup, two or two rice, unhurried and eating, and looking at the bustling street.

The owner of the shop is a middle-aged man with a sturdy body. Probably because there were no guests, he sat alone on the threshold in a daze, his rich beard covered with a layer of golden light by the sun, like a philosopher who was thinking hard.

The food didn't taste very good, but Qin Hao still ate it with relish. When he ate the last grain of rice in the bowl with green vegetables, he said with a faint smile: "The little cabbage is medium-cooked, and it has a little bitter taste." The meat is stewed and melted fat, which is excellent for the body in every way, and Mr.'s cooking skills are very interesting. ”

After being complimented, the middle-aged man scratched his head and smiled, and said helplessly: "Nutritious things naturally taste poor." ”

took out the broken silver from the sleeve robe and put it on the table, Qin Hao said with a smile: "The taste is poor, and people will live longer." Your restaurant is a good place for people. ”

"Hehe, yes." The shopkeeper smiled and only took a small ingot of silver and put it in his pocket, "One penny of silver is enough, the little brother is too polite." ”

Qin Hao still smiled faintly and said, "A penny of silver is the money for the meal, and the other is that I hope that Mr. can make it convenient for him to come from Luoyang City, and want to go to Ansan County, hoping to go forward with Mr. 's caravan." ”

The eyelids couldn't help jumping, and the middle-aged man's face was slightly gloomy. Then his face quickly turned into a wooden smile, and he said, "How does the little brother know that I am from the caravan. ”

Qin Hao said calmly: "There are three caravans that can cross the Qinling Mountains in the entire Qingzhou territory. The first is the leading boss Treasure Pavilion, whose guards are all self-cultivated and never hire outsiders, and the second is the Yan family, which cooperates with the Longmen Dart Bureau, and they never recruit outsiders. The only thing left is the new caravan leader Mo Wenbiao, presumably you are the legendary caravan leader Mo Wenbiao. ”

"Oh?" Touching his waist quietly, the middle-aged man said with a smile: "It's true that I am Mo Wenbiao, but there are only three or two cronies who know where I live, how did the little brother find it." ”

Mo Wenbiao's subtle movements did not escape Qin Hao's eyes. He knew that merchants were extremely vigilant, and they usually had hidden weapons hidden in their waists, ready to be assassinated.

If the next words can't satisfy the seemingly kind middle-aged man in front of him, Qin Hao may be stabbed into a hornet's nest by a shuttle of poisonous darts in the next second.

Although he had reached the Blood Removal Realm, Qin Hao was far from the point where he could ignore the attack of cold weapons. So he hurriedly waved his hand and said with a smile: "Sir, don't be nervous, I have no ill will, and I just had a meal here, and I just happened to recognize Mr." ”

Mo Wenbiao's face was a little indifferent, and his palms were still close to his waist. He said in a slightly cold tone: "You said that you are a Jiangbei guest who is going downstream, but you are so clear about the distribution of the power of our Chamber of Commerce, and you happen to come to my store to eat, and you happen to recognize my appearance at a glance, how can you let me believe you." ”

Qin Hao still said with an indifferent smile on his face: "I went down the river to Qingzhou to go to Anshan County in the Southern Regions. The reason why I know about the distribution of chambers of commerce is because I just took the time to inquire. I was hungry and wanted a clean and secluded storefront, so I walked here......"

"Is there such a coincidence?"

Qin Hao was still sitting upright, and said with a smile: "It's such a coincidence." ”

After a little hesitation, Mo Wenbiao seemed to believe Qin Hao's words. So, he asked in a gentle tone: "Before today, the little brother should have never seen me, how can he recognize it at a glance?" ”

"It's simple." Qin Hao also responded gently: "Mr. is wearing clothes sewn from the purple scale skin of the Blood Moving Realm, and the Cloud Sword tattooed on his waist is even more of the highest grade, these are only qualified by the Blood Moving Realm cultivators." ”

"The little brother has a good eye!" Hearing Qin Hao's calm analysis, the middle-aged man showed a look of appreciation, and then asked, "Even so, how would you know that I am a businessman?" ”

"Businessmen like to do business, but they don't deliberately open their restaurants on secluded streets. The dishes in the store are Ru kilns, which are worth thousands of gold, and you can buy half of the store. So you are a businessman, but not an ordinary businessman. Qin Hao said with a slow and logical analysis: "Such a wealthy and unreasonable person reminds me of the mysterious caravan leader...... Karen Mok"
