Chapter 285: Returning to the Yuan
Ten days later, Zhou An and Nan Nan followed the caravan to Guiyuan City.
Guiyuan City is really big, but the city wall is dozens of meters high, at a glance, the people on the city wall are like villains, and from the city gate to the city, you can't see the end, Zhou An's eyesight is very good now, he can't see the head, it can be seen that the city of Guiyuan is so big, unimaginable.
Only when you enter the city do you have to pay a tael of silver before you can enter the city, many soldiers are guarding the city gate, and those who have no money are not allowed to enter.
But what is incredible is that whether it is the common people or the rich man Haoqiang is not the slightest dissatisfied, they all obediently pay the money and go in.
Even the common people can come up with a tael of silver! In the ancient county town, one or two pieces of silver can make the common people live for a month.
No wonder Guiyuan City has such a scale, and it can't be compared with other small places.
There were many people entering the city, including merchants and passers-by, and they lined up at the gate of the city and entered one by one.
The soldiers at the city gate were well managed, and soon it was the turn of the Black Moon caravan.
Duan Leqi walked in front of a soldier and whispered something in the soldier's ear, and when the soldier heard it, he immediately saluted Duan Leqi, and then stretched out his hand and waved to let the soldiers who were blocking in front get out of the way, and without even collecting the silver, he put the people of the Black Moon Caravan in.
Zhou An saw this scene, his eyes flickered, it seems that the Black Moon Caravan is not simple.
"Mr. Xie Duan has taken care of him for a period of time, and now he has arrived in Guiyuan City, and he has something to do, so he left. After entering Guiyuan City, Zhou An rode a horse to Duan Leqi's side and said.
"Then don't stop here. Duan Leqi was not much surprised by Zhou An's departure, and said.
Zhou An rode his horse and left in one direction.
An old man with white hair walked next to Duan Leqi, and Duan Leqi said to the old man: "Old Xu, I think this Zhou An is just an ordinary Tongmai martial artist, martial artists like this are everywhere in Guiyuan City, why are you so optimistic about him." ”
"I smell a dangerous aura on his body, and now in Guiyuan City, except for those top martial artists, there are not many people who give me this kind of aura. The old man said.
"You said that Zhou An may be stronger than you, this is impossible, how old is he now, and he is only sixteen years old. Duan Leqi said in shock.
"It's stronger than me, I don't know, although I just see that he is a martial artist with five veins, but he shouldn't be so simple. The old man said, "Okay, let's not talk about him, now let's hurry up and send the young lady to the mansion." ”
After Zhou An left the Black Moon Caravan on a horse with Nannan, he found a shop that sold horses, Zhou An sold the horse, his horse was a good horse, Zhou An specially bought it when he was in Baiquan County, Zhou An sold it for five hundred taels of silver, no way, Zhou An is very short of money now, now he doesn't ride a horse, he can't throw the horse away.
Next, Zhou An and Nan Nan found a restaurant and ordered a table of food, this time Zhou An did not order wine, because Zhou An found that as long as Nan Nan drank, he would immediately get drunk, and he began to talk nonsense in a delirious manner, so Zhou An stopped drinking when he was with Nan Nan in the future.
As soon as the meal came, Nan Nan began to eat, in the past, Nan Nan ate very uncivilized, that looked like she hadn't eaten for hundreds of years, and then after Zhou An's continuous corrections, she reluctantly changed the Nan Nan, so that she was more elegant when she ate.
Xiao Er took the seventeenth and eighteenth dishes ordered by Zhou An and put them on the table, Zhou An stopped Xiao Er, took a silver ingot of five taels and put it on the table and said, "I ask you some questions, and these five taels of silver will be regarded as a tip." ”
"Guest, if you have anything, just ask, I won't ask for silver, if you want to give me more silver, just order more food." Xiao Er said.
When Zhou An heard Xiao Er's words, he couldn't help but look at this Xiao Er differently, can he not be moved by property, and there are not many people who think about the restaurant, but Zhou An now sees one: "Okay, just do as you say." Zhou An put away the five taels of silver.
"I first arrived in Guiyuan City, and I didn't know anything about anything, so I wanted to ask you about the various forces in Guiyuan City. Zhou An said.
"Are you here to learn martial arts, or are you here to do business?" asked Xiao Er.
Zhou An didn't understand why Xiao Er asked him such a sentence, and said, "Yes." ”
"Then I'll tell you all the forces in Guiyuan City, there are three major families and five major sects in Guiyuan City. Xiao Er said: "The three major families are the eldest grandson family, the Qian family, and the Wu family, among which the eldest grandson family is the most powerful, followed by the Qian family and the Wu family. ”
"The city lord of Guiyuan City is the head of the Changsun family, named Changsun Wuxiong, their power is very large, the 100,000 troops of Guiyuan City are under the management of Changsun Wuxiong, and the appointment of officials is also appointed by Changsun Wuxiong, which is the strongest force. ”
"The Qian family is mainly engaged in business, and seventy percent of the shops in Guiyuan City are their family, rice shops, pawnshops, brothels, gambling houses, restaurants, etc., and even the Qian family controls most of the money in the surrounding hundreds of thousands of miles of county, and no one in Guiyuan City is richer than their Qian family. ”
"The Wu family is a new family, suddenly rooted in Guiyuan City ten years ago, with lightning speed, in just one year became one of the three major families, became a generation of legends, their family is specialized in winemaking for a living, in Guiyuan City in the five famous wines, of which three famous wines are from his family. ”
"What are the five major sects? Zhou An asked.
"The five major sects are the Golden Crow Sect, the Heavenly Star Sect, the Sky Eagle Sect, the Blood Knife Sect, and the Iron Hand Sect. ”
"Among these five major sects, the disciples of the Tianxing Sect are the largest, claiming to have 80,000 gangs, mainly cultivating the Heavenly Star Sword Technique, and the sword technique is based on the variables of the stars in the sky, which is unpredictable and extremely powerful. ”
"The Golden Crow faction is mainly to practice the Golden Crow palm method, each palm is swung, the palm is red, the heat rises, and the enemy is defeated with heat, and the Eagle faction uses the eagle claw skill as a move, this is not an ordinary eagle claw skill, but the ancestor of the Eagle faction imitates the ghost eagle predation in the sky, and creates his own creation, each claw swings out, splitting gold and breaking iron, and is incomparably strong. ”
"The Blood Knife Sect is very simple, it is mainly based on cultivating the Blood Knife, I heard that the Blood Knife Sect is very cruel in cultivating the Blood Knife, and it needs to be guided by its own blood, and it can only be practiced under long-term bloodletting practice, so as long as it is the person of the Blood Knife Sect, the blood is very bad, and the face is very pale, it is easy to identify. ”
"The Iron Hand Sect is mainly based on cultivating the Iron Hand, when one pair of hands against the enemy, you can even grab the opponent's weapons and counterattack the other party, the Iron Hand Sect is the weakest among the five factions, I heard that the Iron Hand Sect is about to be removed from the other four major sects, the reason is that the Iron Hand Sect has only six or seven disciples left, and it is no longer a faction. ”
"Why are there so few disciples of the Iron Hand Sect. Zhou An asked.
"I heard that two years ago, a strong man broke into the Iron Hand Sect, killed people when he saw them, and slaughtered the Iron Hand Sect, and in the end only a dozen disciples escaped because they went out to do errands, and these dozen disciples were also divided into two factions, one faction was afraid that the strong man would come to kill them again, and the other faction adhered to the Iron Hand Sect, and finally those disciples who were afraid that the strong man would kill them left, leaving six or seven disciples to guard the Iron Hand Sect. ”
"The last question, where can I buy a relatively large store, preferably in a busy area. After learning about the forces of all parties, Zhou An said.
"I just know there's a store for sale, and I can contact him for you if you want to. Xiao Er said.
"What kind of shop is there. Zhou An asked.
"This shop is the cloth village on the east side of this street. Xiao Er said.
"So it's this. "Zhou An saw this one when he came, and he just glanced at it and skipped it, but that cloth village is really big, Zhou An plans to go and see it, and buy it if it is suitable.
"If you are free in a moment, take me to see this cloth village. Zhou An said.
"I'll just say to the shopkeeper. Xiao Er said.
