Chapter 66: Strange People

What about the good crushing of the past? What about the good siege of the city?

Qiong'er, who had been doing psychological construction and was ready to face the tragic scene in the world, watched the city gate open with an inexplicable face, ran over a small group of people, and directly invited them into the city.

Yue Jinsheng didn't seem to think of such treatment, and asked the old Sang Mang with his eyes, what do you mean?

The old man's face was full of helplessness, why didn't this prince have any common sense? As he walked, he explained the reason in a low voice.

This blue water city is the junction of Loulan and Beibi, it is a three-way zone, it does not belong to any party, because this city is simply a bazaar.

These merchants are here, and this city is here! If these men leave, the city will be gone.

The three places will not touch or offend these people lightly, because without them, it is equivalent to breaking the connection between the three places, and the locals of Loulan also need these people to exchange some materials for the Moon Dynasty, salt, iron and cloth, not to mention that without this city, there will be no supplies to enter the desert, and no caravan will dare to go into the desert again.

Therefore, there is no need to attack this city at all, and even the small group of people who went out of the city to greet them are only dart masters hired by the merchants to protect their personal safety and escort goods.

As for the management of the city now, it is the largest merchant in the local area who is taking care of it, and everyone calls it the Lord of Qi.

This Qi City Lord is a figure, it is said that he is young, beautiful, and has strong family resources, but few people can see his true face.

Entering the city was arranged to a distance from the ground, looking at such a dilapidated and dwarf yellow earth city from the outside, it is indeed earth-shaking changes inside, not only the flow of people is turbulent, the houses and shops are lined up, and the area is extremely wide. More than 2,000 of them came in, and they only occupied a small corner, which shows that this city is not what the old Sang Mang said, but a simple market for exchanging materials!

As soon as he settled down, a merchant had already come to the door. All the merchants knew that the cavalry from the north had entered the city, and it had not been a quarter of an hour before they had settled down, and these people had even brought their own goods.

Yue Jinsheng and Huerhan met these merchants one by one, and at the insistence of Lao Sangmang, they bought a lot of camels, and even a large amount of grain, grass and water.

What shocked Huerhan very much was that these three princes really had a lot of wealth, but it was not heavy real money, but a pile of gold and silver tickets. This kind of thing is a common proof of large amount of money transfer in the Moon Dynasty Bank, and not everyone can use it, because the middle commission of the money bank is very high, and one out of ten can be used!

Looking at the golden tickets that were spent like flowing water, Hulhan's heart was distressed. Remembering what the master said before, the money is not worried, and the winter food is not a problem, is it really? Having such a heart-to-heart brother as the little county king is really the luck of the third prince! I secretly wondered in my heart, in fact, people don't need to come over to fight this battle this winter, right? If not!

Lao Sang Mang counted the list of supplies one by one, and kept gossiping with the porters who delivered the goods. What is this year's things expensive, in previous years, the **** caravan can still come over dozens of batches, but unfortunately so far this year, only a few batches of teams have come in. I heard that it was because there was a new town general on Tianliu Mountain, and he was very strict with the past caravans of Tianliu Mountain.

Speaking of which, this road has actually always existed, but it was guarded by troops sent by the Yue Dynasty and Loulan inside and out, so the merchants of trade would be exploited layer by layer, and the prices of things would be extremely high.

There had been no such strict search for merchants in Tianliushan for many years, so only Loulan needed to pay some messy taxes to get through guò. However, now the new town government general is estimated to be eating back, so many merchants can't support it, so they won't go so far.

Anyway, if you sell things to Tianliu Mountain, you can also consume them on the spot, but after entering the desert, the benefits can be multiplied several times. In particular, Loulan is rich and rich in gold, silver, jade and gemstones, but because of the rampant wind and sand, there are too few oases and lack of food and clothing, and most of them rely on external input to survive. Therefore, some caravans with background are still willing to take this long line, at least once on the top, how many times they go back and forth.

Qiong'er helped count the grain and grass, but her mind drifted away.

Heaven-Stayed Mountain!

She knew the path that these people were talking about, and at that time, she was bored in the mountains all day, so she would take advantage of the time when her brother Kuroko was out to explore in the mountains. Tianliu Mountain stretches for thousands of miles, although she has not walked all, but she has walked half of the time in more than ten years.

So she knows very well that there are two ways to enter Loulan, one is the small road in the mouths of these people, and the other is the big road where she often goes down the mountain to pick up things. It may be because the Loulan guards are tyrannical to the caravans, forcing some caravans to take the risk of taking that road, so that Qiong'er has the opportunity to supplement his life from time to time.

So in fact, her current position is very close to Tianliu Mountain? As long as she can enter Tianliu Mountain, she will be considered free! Because others can't get out of that mountain, but she can!

"Ugly slave!" Yue Jinsheng stretched out his hand and shook it twice in front of her eyes, raised his hand and pointed to a merchant next to him who was directing to continue to move boxes inside, and motioned for her to go and see what she needed?

Qiong'er walked over in silence, when is the right time to go? They have already entered this blue water city, such a big movement, I don't know when they will be targeted by Loulan soldiers. There is also Xue Heizi in Tianliu Mountain, he married the princess of Loulan, and they went to rob Loulan, he should send troops to help Loulan, right?

She didn't think that she still had a friendship with Xue Heizi, and she could save Yue Jinsheng's life, if this was the case, how could she be caught and lived a dark life for six months? However, she could do her best to get him out of the desert alive, even if the deal with Concubine Yue was completed, it could be regarded as repaying the protection she and Mama Yun gave her in the north.

The merchant saw a man in a deerskin walking over, although he couldn't see his appearance, but the figure was not a man, and he was dressed very ordinary, and he looked like a slave girl, probably for the prince, right?

Because of Yue Jinsheng's generosity, all the merchants were very enthusiastic, "This girl, look at this, these things are the most practical to enter the desert!" ”

Dome rummaged through some furs and hats, and even rolls of pure white cotton, these things were indeed real, don't look at the desert rumors that the heat was dying, but that was what people who had not walked in said. In fact, the temperature difference between morning and evening in the desert in winter is very large, and if you say that you can die of sunshine during the day, you can freeze to death at night. Therefore, having a leather jacket at night can prevent temperature loss, and it is most important to cover your face with the most heat-absorbing white cloth during the day to prevent sunburn, heat stroke and even a large amount of water loss from the body.

Even one of the most important things in the desert is to keep salt and sugar. Qiong'er came to the merchant with several large clay pots, and crouched down to inspect the sea salt, sugar, and other seasonings and herbs.

Huerhan looked at the ugly slave who was squatting at his feet picking spices, and secretly ironed that the third prince was still so emotional, and whispered a few words to the elite riders around him and turned to leave.

Qiong'er still looked down and picked up the qiē she needed, but if she paid attention, she could see that her back arched into a strange shape, like a cat predicting danger, ready to bounce and strike first.
