Just as Huo Xiu and Team Leader Cui were talking, they were already approaching the outskirts of Hemu Town.

The outline of the town, which had been slightly blurred before, began to become clear, revealing its original appearance.

It is a large town covering an area of about tens of thousands of acres, except for the tall city walls that can be seen from afar. When you get closer, you can see all kinds of defensive structures such as gun ports and arrow towers.

Outside the walls of Hemu Town, there is a moat more than ten zhang wide, completely cutting off Hemu Town from its surroundings, and there is no other way to get there except a suspension bridge.

At this time, Leader Cui walked a few steps briskly and followed Huo Xiu.

"Brother Huo, look at the scale of this Hemu Town, it's no worse than our county town. In fact, it is also difficult to say that Hemu Town has been cultivated like this, after all, this is a C-level pass, and those demon clans and evil ways hidden in the human race territory want to break through here all the time, and they must cultivate it into an iron bucket array. It's been too peaceful for a while, and the drawbridge isn't much up, otherwise we'd have to wait outside. ”

Huo Xiu listened silently, without words. Although he had learned most of the information provided by Team Leader Cui from the booklet, some of the content was quite fresh.

In this way, in the chatter of Leader Cui, Huo Xiu finally rushed to the city of Hemu Town.

At this moment, it was noon, which was the busiest time of the day, and the travelers and merchants from the south to the north lined up in a queue hundreds of zhang long, waiting in turn to check and enter the city.

Huo Xiu and the others were no exception, obediently lining up at the back of the line.

It seemed that the inspection of the pass was very cumbersome, and after a while, the whole team did not move much.

Huo Xiu frowned, and a hint of anxiety appeared on his face. He'd been on the road for a while, and he didn't want to waste it here.

At this time, Team Leader Cui smiled and said, "Brother Huo, this Hemu Town is on the front line of the 100,000 Great Mountains, which is a relatively wealthy place, so there are a lot of people coming and going. And this is an important pass, and the inspection is very strict. At this pace, if we want to enter the city, I am afraid that we will have to apply for the time later. You go back to the car and rest for a while, and I'll ask my men to bring you some dry food to satisfy your hunger." ”

Huo Xiu raised his eyes and looked at the dragon-like team in front of him, sighed, and then arched his hand.

"Then there's Boss Lao Cui, and I'm just trying to take the opportunity to practice for a while. ”

Huo Xiu said, and was about to turn around and return to the car.

At this moment, not far behind Huo Xiu, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves, followed by an angry roar.

"Get out of the way, we're the guards of Riverwood Town, and we need to go back immediately if we have something important. ”

Leader Cui seemed to be very experienced, he did not change his face, and immediately commanded his subordinates to take the convoy aside and make way for the visitors.

At this time, more than a dozen warriors dressed in uniform rode high-headed horses and rushed over like a gale.

There were a few cars and pedestrians who didn't have time to dodge, and they were even directly knocked to the side. But no one dared to complain, and they all accepted it silently.

The guards in charge of checking at the city gate didn't look at it, and directly opened the horse-blocking fence blocking the city gate, allowing the warriors to roar past.

Until this time, Huo Xiu walked up to Leader Cui and asked, "Boss Cui, are the guards in Hemu Town like this, this is too much to see." ”

Team Leader Cui shook his head and said, "Those guys should be the people who visited the hall, and they must have discovered something amazing when they rushed back to Hemu Town in such a hurry." ”

Huo Xiu heard this and nodded silently. He clearly felt just now that the aura of several martial artists was very weak, and they should have suffered a lot of injuries.

And those who dare to attack them are either demon clans or evil ways. Whatever it is, it must not be allowed to appear here.

At this time, Team Leader Cui said faintly beside him: "Brother Huo, you see, the guards of the Tantang are so hard, not only do they have to patrol everywhere, but they are also easy to encounter danger. I guess they must have been attacked by a sneak attack, so they hurried back to Hemu Town to move the rescuers. No, a large number of guards will leave the city in a moment. We want to go into the city, I'm afraid we will get the unitary time. ”

Huo Xiu smiled and said nothing.

After that, there was no expected large group of people leaving the city.

Huo Xiu and the others slowly and leisurely followed the team, and finally arrived at the foot of the city gate around Shen Shi.

As soon as they approached, dozens of guards rushed forward, scrutinizing the cargo of the accompanying carriage.

Seeing this, Team Leader Cui immediately stepped forward and said with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, I am the second shopkeeper of the Ping'an firm in Zhenyuan County, Cangshan Prefecture, and we are transporting some food and wine on this trip, these are my men, and there will be no problem." ”

A sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked warrior at the head waved his hand and said impatiently: "Don't talk nonsense, we are all acting on orders." Get out of the way, we have to check these goods for contraband. ”

Leader Cui had no choice but to command everyone to step aside and let the city guards ruffle around.

After a while, a small soldier ran over and whispered a few words in the ear of the sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked warrior.

The warrior listened silently, and then snorted coldly.

"In the past, everybody had to pay double the entrance fee. ”

"This ......"

Team Leader Cui just wanted to step forward to ask what was going on, but saw that the warrior's face was cold.

Team Leader Cui sighed and had to take the lead in paying the entrance fee.

At this time, the dozen or so guards of the city couldn't help but say, and one by one they forced everyone in the caravan to pay.

Suddenly, Huo Xiu jumped out and shouted, "You have no evidence to expropriate and extort money, what is your intention!?"

The sharp-mouthed martial artist looked Huo Xiu up and down, the corners of his mouth raised, and he sneered.

"Stinky boy, you dare to ...... before your hair grows"

Before the sharp-mouthed warrior finished speaking, he suddenly choked in his throat.

I saw Huo Xiu take out a palm-sized waist card, which was the proof that he belonged to Zhenyuan Martial Mansion. And in order to facilitate his service, before leaving, the master of the Confucian Mansion specially handed over the waist card of the disciple of the upper courtyard of the Zhenyuan Martial Mansion to Huo Xiu.

As a martial artist born in a regular martial arts, his status is naturally much higher than that of these wild warriors, and he came to serve on the front line of the 100,000 mountains at a young age, and he is an elite cultivated by various martial arts. It was the sharp-mouthed warrior who was shocked and speechless.

Seeing this, Huo Xiu frowned.

"Let's get over yet!"

"Yes! Yes!"

The sharp-mouthed warrior nodded as if pounding garlic, and immediately beckoned his subordinates to let him go.
