After a while, the strange beast with three humps on its back walked out and looked at me with squinted eyes: "What is it called?" What the hell is not su? ”

"Big brother, what's the matter with the rent?" I laughed.

"The rent is just a formality, and the most important thing is that you didn't worship the pier with us, you know what it means, right? This is the number of courtesies, and if you don't have a number of courtesies, we will naturally be angry. The hump beast snorted coldly.

"Then I've visited the docks now, right?" I pointed to the mess everywhere.

"Of course not, this is what we came to the door ourselves, at most it is protection money. Remember, according to the time on your side, after a month, get some fresh things to pay tribute, and let our brothers and sisters have a good time, and we can count as worshipping the docks! With that, the hump beast turned and left.

I don't even know what you three brutes like, how do you make you hi and hi skin? Damn, I'll bring you a few pounds of stimulants next time!

Turned out his clothes and pants and put them on, the matter has come to this point, he can only mix in the Qin Dynasty for a month, and when Ding Buqun is almost recovered, he will go back and get a batch of supplies. However, according to the success rate of 40% of the crossing, I am extremely lucky to be able to cross this time, damn, it's okay to cross less, it's not fun to be destroyed.

Just as I was thinking nonsense, a cold voice came from a distance: "Who are you waiting for, what are you doing here?" (Note 1)

When I heard this, I looked up, but I saw that more than ten meters away, there was a middle-aged man dressed in the costume of an ancient hunter, bending his bow and arrows at me, and the arrows flashed in the sunlight, which was extremely sharp.

I was stunned for a moment, and was about to take out my pistol, but I found that this Orion was more than ten meters away from me, and such a long distance, let alone a headshot, might not be able to hit him. Moreover, judging from the posture in which he drew his bow, the edge of the mountain was extremely stable, and I had a hunch in my heart that within this distance, he would probably be fine with an arrow piercing my throat.

There was a burst of amazement, and he spoke the Mandarin of the Qin Dynasty: "Big brother, I'm lost." ”

The middle-aged hunter snorted: "You are dressed so indecently, and he is so white, say, are you a Hun spy from the north?" ”

Am I white? I looked down at my arm, and then at the middle-aged Orion's bare skin, indeed, compared to him, I was really white, and immediately smiled: "Brother, I'm really lost, I'm from Southern China, come here to do business." ”

"China? The name may sound like a no-brainer. Orion frowned and put down his bow and arrows: "What kind of business do you have?" ”

I pretended to grope around on my body, found a lighter, and said with a smile: "Fire fold, convenient and easy to use." ”

Orion slowly walked up to me, looked at the lighter in my hand, and asked, "What fire?" ”

I was stunned for a moment, and said in my heart, could it be that the Qin Dynasty did not have a fire fold, so how did they start the fire? Do you drill wood for fire? Immediately smiled and lit the lighter, and the bright yellow flame burst out.

Seeing this, Orion was extremely surprised, and after a while, the surprise on his face gradually turned into envy: "Wow, this is a good thing." ”

I extinguished the lighter and handed it to him: "Give it to you!" ”

The middle-aged Orion suddenly shook his head: "No, no, this is too valuable." ”

"I see that you are a friend worth dating, give me face." He shoved a lighter into his hand and told him how he was using it.

The middle-aged hunter clicked a few times, and each time a bright yellow flame ignited, his simple face was suddenly full of joy, and he carefully hid it in his arms and patted me on the shoulder: "Brother, what do you need my help with?" ”

"My name is Vincy, and I don't even know where I am because I'm lost." I laughed.

During the conversation, I learned that the middle-aged Orion's name is Wang Ding, who has the same name as Grandpa Wang of Matou Village, and is a hunter in Wangjia Village outside Handan City of Zhao State.

Although Wang Ding is a hunter, because he often goes in and out of Handan, he has some knowledge, and he can also say something about the shape of the world. According to him, nine years have passed since the Battle of Changping, that is, it is indeed in 251 BC, when Qin Shi Huang was still a hostage in the city of Handan.

Immediately overjoyed, and said: "Brother Wang, I got lost this time, and all the goods on my body were taken away by the beasts in the mountains, so I can only go to Handan City to do some odd jobs and earn some capital in order to make a comeback." If it's convenient for you, can you take me into Handan City? ”

Wang Ding said happily: "No problem, but you have to wait for me to shoot a few prey." ”

Following behind Wang Ding, watching him kill the prey, twenty or thirty meters away from the beast, Wang Ding can shoot through his throat with an arrow, not to mention the strength and accuracy of his archery skills for the time being, his own martial arts are extremely strong, in order to get a complete tiger skin, he actually fought with an adult tiger, and finally beat it to death.

Carrying the tiger on his back, Wang Ding took me back to his house, first skinned the tiger and other prey, and then made a rather sumptuous dinner - a large jar of tiger meat and a large jar of rice wine, after eating and drinking, it was dark, he brought hay and spread it on the ground, and put a coarse cloth quilt, the two chatted a few words, and the wine came up and fell asleep.

At dawn the next day, Wang Ding called me up and gave me a set of clothes, saying that my clothes were too ostentatious, and I was afraid that I would be deliberately embarrassed by the city defense officers and soldiers.

After changing his clothes, Wang Ding wrapped the prey in a large package and carried it behind his back, carried a wooden stick, and beckoned me on the road.

I asked him why he didn't bring a bow and arrows, but Wang Ding smiled and said: "We are going to Handan, there is an army inspection at the city gate, carrying swords and bows and other weapons, once found, we will be executed on the spot." ”

Yo ho, security was so strict more than 2,000 years ago? I couldn't help laughing and said, "Then you don't need any pass to enter Handan City, right?" ”

Wang Ding smiled: "Of course you need." Even if our Wangjia Village is located outside Handan City, all households in the village want to enter and exit Handan City, and they must rely on the number plate issued to enter and exit the city defense. ”

"So how do I get in?" I was stunned.

Wang Ding took out a number plate from his arms and handed it to me: "This is my brother's number plate, you take it first." ”

After taking the number plate, I saw some messy strokes painted on it, and then I remembered that at this time, Qin Shi Huang had not yet unified China, except for the Qin State using the Great Seal, the rest of the countries were using their own scripts. couldn't help laughing: "What about your brother?" ”

Wang Ding's eyes suddenly appeared with hatred: "Some time ago, I was killed by Zhao Ash in Handan City. ”

I was greatly surprised, and hurriedly asked what was going on, Wang Ding said fiercely: "My brother beat a snow-white fox, and planned to go into the city to sell it, but when he came back, he was seriously injured, and he struggled to sue me. ”

Hearing this, I was immediately furious: "Is there still a royal law for this?" ”

Wang Ding snorted: "Zhao Ash is the nephew of Zhao Ba, the henchman of King Zhao today, a tyrant in Handan City, who can tell him about the royal law?" Even if I go to the city guard to sue, but the city guard is all Zhao Ba's people, and they drove me out directly, hmph, this revenge is not revenge, and it is not a person. ”

Hearing Wang Ding say this, I thought in my heart to see if there was any way to help him.

Wang Ding didn't seem to want to continue this topic too much, and immediately talked about the matters that Handan City should pay attention to.

In Handan City, there are three major forces not to mess with.

The first force was headed by Zhao Ba, gathering many civil officials in the current imperial court, and many merchant forces in Handan City joined it, and the momentum was extremely huge, among them, there was the support of King Zhao behind him.

The second force is led by Lian Po Li Mu, but its supporters are many generals in the military. Although he grasped the military power, it was because Lian Po Li Mu and other officers were away for a long time, and because they held the military power, they were feared by the king of Zhao and suppressed intentionally or unintentionally, so the power in Handan City was slightly weaker than that of Zhao Ba.

The third force is a neutral faction, led by the swordsman Wei Ziqiu. Wei Ziqiu himself has a transcendent status and outstanding martial arts, and is known as the number one master today, so although this force is the smallest, no one dares to provoke it. On the contrary, it was the Zhao Ba forces and the military forces, and the two sides had a lot of fun.

Chatting all the way, when we came to the city of Handan it has been an hour later, only to see that the city wall of Handan city is high and thick, the moat is wide and deep, in addition to the armor on the city wall, there is also an army stationed outside the city, the military camp is continuous, the flags are lined up, and a slaughter.

A checkpoint is set up in front of the city gate suspension bridge, you have to queue up here, walk across the suspension bridge one by one, check the number plate in front of the city gate, you can enter the city, the city defense is strict, it can be seen.

When it was our turn, a fierce-looking general looked at our number plate and asked Wang Ding to open the package, and when he saw the tiger skin, a trace of greed flashed in his eyes: "This tiger skin looks good?" ”

Wang Ding smiled and stretched out his hand to shake the general: "Thank you for the compliment." ”

Letting go of his hand, there was an extra copper coin in the general's hand, and he threw the copper coin away, and the general laughed and said: "Yes, yes, you are really sensible, I wish you a good price, the next one!" ”

Walking to the market in the city, Wang Ding spread out the package, saying that he would sell the things first, and then go to the talent market, because the talent market only opened in the afternoon, so I nodded and agreed.

The meat of those beasts was quickly sold out, but the tiger skin was rarely cared for, and it was not until the afternoon that a thin middle-aged man came over, looked at the tiger skin, asked the price, and did not bargain, but directly paid for it.

Wang Ding was overjoyed to accept the money and was about to turn around and leave with me, but the thin middle-aged man grabbed Wang Ding: "This brother, please stay." ”

Frowning and glancing at the middle-aged man, Wang Ding stopped: "What else do you have to do?" ”

"My young lady wants to make a tiger skin robe for the master, and I still need several tiger skins, I want to ask my brother to go back to the house with me, to see what kind of tiger skin my young lady needs, when you hit this kind of tiger skin, sell it to me directly, the price, I will not treat you badly."

Wang Ding was immediately overjoyed, the tiger skin could have been sold for a lot of copper coins, if someone booked, the price would naturally have to be doubled, and immediately followed the middle-aged man to a courtyard with a smile.

When we entered the door, the middle-aged man asked us to wait for a while, and then turned around and went out, just as he felt that something was wrong, a group of big men rushed in behind the door, all holding sharp weapons, and the first man with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks looked at us with a sneer: "Wang Ding, I heard that you want to avenge your brother." ”
