Chapter 8 Running Caravans
Then everyone gathered around the fire and chatted about family life.
"Look, I bought it from you," and the groom pulled out a miniature wooden sword with crooked runes carved into it.
"My baby, only four years old this year, every time I go back, I shout to come to Mocheng with me, that is, he usually likes to read the villain's book, but he likes the talisman master, every day shouting that he wants to be a talisman master in the future, it just so happened that this trip back to catch his birthday, so I bought him a sword, I heard the guy say that this is a special weapon for the talisman master, come and help me take a look, is it authentic" Mafu continued.
Wang Tuowan smiled, then took the wooden sword, looked at it for a while and said, "Well, authentic, except for the small one, it is no different from the real rune sword, go back and see it, you kid must like it very much."
In fact, Wang Tuo had never seen a real rune sword, so he said so out of good intentions.
"I'll serve it to you," said a man with an apron
The lid of the pot was lifted, only to feel that there was a fresh and fragrant rich, but not thick smell of mutton soup came to the nostrils, immediately hooked out the gluttonous worms in the stomach, everyone took the mutton soup, gulps and siped up, no different from usual, but the convoy was sleepy earlier than usual, probably because of the snow, so they felt particularly tired.
late at night
"Are you sure it's okay?"
"No problem, I watched each of them drink, I just kicked them a few times, and there was no reaction at all"
"That's good, go ahead with the plan"
"After that, we faked the scene of being robbed by mountain bandits, and one person and one car parted ways."
At this time, Wang Tuo opened his eyes slightly, and saw Brother Hu not far away and two men in night clothes, talking.
I saw one of the men in night clothes pull out the scimitar in his hand and stab it at the neck of the convoy guy on the ground, and then let him turn his back to him and "poof" to make up a few more knives on his back, and the other man in night clothes followed and hung it on a tree.
Seeing this, Wang Tuo secretly turned over and switched positions with the groom.
The man in the night clothes was skillful, and after a while, he came to Wang Tuo, looked at it intently, and said, "Hu Fatty, how can there be a child here?"
Brother Hu smiled brightly and said, "It's not, I think I'm going to do it anyway, one more or less, it doesn't matter..."
The man in black was about to open his mouth to continue to teach Brother Hu a lesson, but he found that Brother Hu's eyes were suddenly wrong, and he looked straight behind him, and the man in black suddenly felt a chill behind him, and was about to turn around, but it was too late.
Wang Tuo snatched the scimitar in his hand and plunged it straight into his heart.
"You, who are you" Seeing Wang Tuo's brother Hu, he couldn't help but take a few steps back, his eyes widening.
Wang Tuo smiled and said, "Didn't you ask me to come? Why, do you want to turn your face and deny it?"
After hearing this, the other man in black immediately pulled out the scimitar on his waist, pointed at Brother Hu and said, "Okay, you fat man, you want to play black and eat black? I'll cut off your pig's head with a knife first!"
Brother Hu was so frightened that his legs weakened, and he knelt on the ground and said, "Brother Zhang, don't listen to that kid's nonsense," and then swallowed his mouth and said, "He was pulled by me on the side of Mocheng." You think, you think, a cart of Yuanshi is enough for me to be prosperous and rich all my life. Why should I take the risk of owning it, don't you say?"
The man in black, who was called Brother Zhang, immediately thought about it, felt reasonable, and pointed the knife at Wang Tuo.
"Yuanshi, how can anyone have too much? Do you say it's Brother Zhang?" Wang Tuo said
"That's right, how can there be too many people like Yuanshi," the man in black thought about it and felt that it made sense, and then pointed the knife at Hu Fatzi.
At this time, Hu Fatman, who was just about to get up, was frightened and knelt back and said, "Wronged! Brother Zhang, you see if this will work, we will slaughter him, Brother Li's car belongs to you, my car will be divided into half of yours, I, I will want half of the car" After saying this, Hu Fatman's heart was like a knife at this time.
After hearing this, the man in black didn't wait for the knife to point at Wang Tuo again.
"I don't want a car, it's all yours" Wang Tuo has already said the conditions.
The man in black was about to point the knife back when he suddenly thought of something, and then stomped his foot and said, "Oh! Are you playing me like a monkey?"
"Isn't that scolding me for playing monkey?" Wang Tuo was like a one-two-three wooden man, and unconsciously moved in front of the man in black.
Then Wang Tuo made a violent move, and in an instant, the scimitar in his hand wiped the neck of the man in black. The man in black, whose eyes were full of astonishment, fell to the ground.
Brother Hu saw that the situation had changed so much at this time, so he immediately begged Wang Tuo for mercy, Wang Tuo smiled, and slowly walked towards Brother Hu.
"That is, these people can't move, if they can still move and beg you for mercy, will you let them go?" Wang Tuo didn't mean to let him go.
Brother Hu, who was frightened and turned white, saw that he couldn't beg for mercy, turned around and ran, and then was chased by Wang Tuo in two steps, and kicked his round ass, Brother Hu flew out, rolled several laps before stopping, just in front of him is an uphill slope, otherwise he will roll on his figure, maybe he will slip away, and then catch up, and his neck is a touch.
Wang Tuo looked at the scimitar in his hand, the blood on the knife slowly dripped with the blade, a life ended in his hand, a pleasure that came from nowhere, commotion in Wang Tuo's heart, Wang Tuo squatted down and wiped the scimitar in his hand back and forth on Brother Hu's body, and only after cleaning it did he put away the scimitar, looked back at the three carriages full of yuan stones, and thought.
In the middle of the night, a carriage moved extremely slowly, this is the carriage driven by Wang Tuo at this time, not that Wang Tuo was not in a hurry, but the three boxes of yuan stones were really heavy, and the two big horses were also extremely difficult to pull the horse.
Yuan Shi - is a kind of ore, which contains Yuan Li energy, after refining in a special way, it can be of great benefit to the cultivation of Yuan Force cultivators, for all countries, this is a very important resource, once this ore is found, it is immediately taken over, for the sale of Yuan Shi for export, are punished with the highest crime, but driven by huge interests, it is still impossible to prevent it from happening.
Wang Tuo took these three boxes of Yuan Stones, it was too ostentatious, not to mention going to Wucheng, the Zhu Yucheng Pass in front of him couldn't enter, so he had to find a way to hide these Yuan Stones.
As he walked, Wang Tuo stopped the carriage at a ravine, which was about seven or eight meters deep, and the most important thing was that the bottom of the ravine was covered with ferns, and finally Wang Tuo decided to be here.
After finding plants and wrapping them in layers, they pushed them down the ravine.
After doing all this, Wang Tuo settled down on the boulder in his heart, and then unloaded the two big horses and carriages, and with a wave of the horsewhip, he galloped all the way towards Zhu Yucheng.
Three days later
The original seven-day journey, in the absence of a convoy, and the goods dragged down, Wang Tuo shortened the time to half, at this time Wang Tuo had already passed the pass, is on the way to Zhu Yucheng, so smooth The reason is that Wang Tuo at the cost of a big horse, mixed into a caravan that is about to enter the customs, otherwise with a child, leading two big horses is enough to make people suspicious.
Although it is the middle of winter, there are still a lot of caravans coming and going on the official road, and occasionally you can see an old woman selling cooking cakes with a burden. Compared with Mocheng, it is a lot more lively, and it is worthy of being the strongest Zhu Yucheng among the six countries.
"Grandma, let's set the cooking cakes, don't want green onions" Wang Tuodao, in the past few days, he has been filling his hunger with dry food, and he has wanted to have a hot mouthful.
"Okay, wait a minute," the old lady replied.
"I want to inquire, how far is it from Zhu Yucheng here" Wang Tuo asked while his grandmother was still tinkering.
"Little brother, you are from out of town, Zhu Yucheng is in front, but it just happens to be blocked by this mountain, and you will be able to see it if you go further" The old lady handed over the cooking cake after speaking.
Wang Tuo, who took the cooking cake, thanked him and continued to hurry.
As the continuous progress, Zhu Yucheng gradually revealed, conch-style architectural style, from the outermost city wall, and then to the inside is the layer of height, until the most central part of the building, has been towering into the sky, I have heard Mr. Wen said, Zhu Yucheng to the swordsman rule, they are more "humble gentleman, gentle as jade" self-proclaimed, humble, courteous, but these are only for the locals, treat outsiders is extremely exclusive.
Wang Tuo thought of this, and unconsciously hooked the corners of his mouth and said to himself, "To put it simply, isn't it just love to pretend"
After entering the city, it was not early, so he found an inn to stay, and Wang Tuo was already tired after many days of traveling, and fell asleep with his head down.
Choose a date
Early in the morning, after Wang Tuo went downstairs and explained to his buddies that he would continue to live, he planned to take a good look at this Zhu Yucheng.
So it was convenient for the inn guys to inquire.
"May I ask where is the most prosperous area of Zhu Yucheng?" Wang Tuo asked.
As soon as the guy heard the movements of his subordinates, he kept saying, "It depends on the needs of the guest officer, if you want to dig out the objects, it is naturally Panlong Road, if you drink flower wine, then it is Taoyuan Road, or if you buy the Yuanshi exercises, then you will go to Fuwen Road, or"
"Wait a minute, purchase the Yuan Master Exercises?" Wang Tuo said in surprise.
"That's right, Yuanshi Gongfa, our Zhu Yucheng is located in the center of the mainland, and it is the trade hub of the entire continent, only what you can't think of is what you can't buy, but most of these exercises are of low quality" The guy said.
After hearing this, Wang Tuo got up and left, leaving only the guy who was still talking to himself.
Fuwen Road
Wang Tuo pointed out according to the guy, and soon found a place, the three big characters "Fuwen Road" hanging high on the stone arch, were dazzled by all kinds of storefronts along the way, so he chose the nearest one.
"This guest officer, you can take a look at it, if you like it, you can get it to our front desk to pay the bill," the guy greeted as soon as he entered the door.
Wang Tuo answered, and walked inside, a bookstore with a very small façade, but the depth is extremely long, the lighting is quite good at the beginning, the more you go inside, the darker it is, Wang Tuo chooses one side casually, looking at all kinds of killing techniques, body methods, dazzling, but they are all some fragments, transcripts, typos, ink and other problems abound, but there is nothing they want, slowly, they walked to the depths of the bookstore.
A hoarse voice came from behind Wang Tuo, "Most of the people who enter this store are here for killing skills and body methods." And you're not even a meta yet, what are you looking for in my store?"
Wang Tuo, who was too fascinated all the way, didn't notice it at all, there was someone behind him, and when he looked back, he saw that it was an old man with gray hair on his head, his eyes closed, lying on a rocking chair.
