It didn't take long for the boat to come to Yuyuan, and near the pier, a group of officers and soldiers could be seen checking the ship from a distance, "What's the matter?" Xu Yunxi entered the cabin and asked Uncle Wu.

"This is an important border defense place for the imperial court, and no matter what comes and goes, it must be carefully checked before it can be released." Uncle Wu has long had everything in his hands, and he no longer looked submissive when he was imprisoned, and he has regained his spirit.

At this time, Sheng Lingyun also came in from outside, "We're about to dock, let's let them go first." ”

Xu Yunxi was a little worried, but Sheng Lingyun was more calm, "It's okay, they don't dare to act rashly." ”

"I promised you two that I would send you back, so you can rest assured." Uncle Wu also made a guarantee on the side, they are also serious businessmen here, and everyone has to die if something goes wrong, so he will not be stupid enough to lose his life to get rid of the two.

Xu Yunxi untied Uncle Wu's rope and let him move freely, Uncle Wu loosened his wrist, "Let's go." Then he and Xu Yunxi quickly went down to the bilge and let everyone go.

The disciples were freed and wanted to resist, but Uncle Wu stopped them: "Don't do too much."

"Thank you." Xu Yunxi said politely, Uncle Wu didn't think so, and walked past him like the wind. Li Heng didn't look at Xu Yunxi either, and followed Uncle Wu to the top.

When the ship docked, a group of officers and soldiers poured onto the ship, and Uncle Wu handed over the official seal, and after the inspection, the guards asked a few soldiers to open the box and check it, and he kept an eye on them. After a while, the little soldier came to report that there was no doubt, and the guard said, "Pass." Then disembark.

Uncle Wu beckoned Li Heng to take the disciple to unload the goods, turned his head and asked Sheng Lingyun, "Aren't you afraid that there are our people here?"

"I believe Uncle Wu." Sheng Lingyun smiled back.

However, having said that, the two were careful to deal with it. Sheng Lingyun followed Uncle Wu to lead Li Heng and a few other disciples to deliver the goods, while Xu Yunxi stayed on the boat and watched the rest of the people waiting for news.

After Uncle Wu and the others left, Xu Yunxi was bored and returned to the table to think about things. After a while, several boatmen came to sit with him, "Shaoxia, can you tell us your identity, is it the kind of person who knows how to retreat as soon as you say it!" ”

The eyes of the boatmen flashed with envy, and Xu Yunxi suddenly understood that everyone had the same psychology, and what they didn't have, or what they expected, they were willing to make up and impose on the people they admired. This is also a kind of sustenance, although it is unrealistic, but they are willing to believe it and brag to others.

If it was before, I am afraid that Xu Yunxi would have made up a lot of money with this title, but now that his mood is different, he does not dare to take on such a heavy title.

"Naturally, it's not so exaggerated, don't you think we're here to protect ourselves?" Xu Yunxi tried his best to behave like usual, and the boatmen said that he was humble, and he had always been a hero, so he praised it indiscriminately, and then walked away to see this novel place.

The shipwrights are different from the disciples of the storm, their behavior is not controlled, and the stormmen were caught this time, half of which is also because the boatmen are not free and have a rebellious mentality. They can't afford to repeat the mistakes of the past, so let them go.

Every time the storm door is delivered, the boatmen are carefully selected and must not be repeated. In the past, in order to prevent those who were interested in the boatmen from coming and going to get acquainted with it, they sold this route privately to other people to take black goods, which affected the business of the storm. Now it's because the goods they are walking are not ordinary, and the old boatmen can easily find out that something is wrong.

However, no matter how cautious the storm gate is, this method still has drawbacks, first of all, it can easily blend in with a small means, and then there is a new shipwright, and it becomes a white-eyed wolf.

This group of white-eyed wolves has forgotten the danger they may be in in the future, and they may be retaliated against by the Storm Gate, they don't want to avoid it, but they support Xu Yunxi and the two, competing for performance, and want to be popular in front of them.

Fortunately, Xu Yunxi had already thought of a way out for them in private, so they did whatever they wanted.

In this frontier land, there are strange things everywhere, and the variety is dazzling.

Uncle Wu and Sheng Lingyun led the disciples in the door to hire a carriage to deliver goods, and they were familiar with the road, and stopped at a post station specially guarded by cavalry guards.

Yuyuan's side is worthy of being an important border defense area, and all the businesses that come in from the outside are traded in this place. This was both a declaration of the sovereignty of the imperial court and a way to defend the place.

When he came to the post station, Uncle Wu handed over the court documents, that is, the certificate of being able to do business in Yuyuan, and after the guards confirmed that they were correct, they summoned a group of soldiers with their hands and re-opened the box to inspect the goods. This batch of sea salt is circulated with the permission of the government and is sold exclusively to herders outside the country, so it must be strictly screened and there must be no mistakes.

After the goods were inspected, the officers and soldiers began to search their bodies, and all blades, including knives and daggers, were not allowed to be brought in. After all the investigations are confirmed to be harmless, the release will begin. Uncle Wu arranged for his disciples to carry the boxes into the post station in an orderly manner, while Sheng Lingyun followed Uncle Wu closely, worried that he would throw himself inside.

Entering the post station, the first thing is a wide corridor, with officers and soldiers standing guard on both sides, and the precautions are strict. Turning around the corridor, there are rows of rooms, there are no officers and soldiers to defend here, after all, business is like battlefield military affairs, they are all high-class secrets, and it is best not to mix them with others.

Uncle Wu took the initiative to introduce to Sheng Lingyun, "We are not here to look for merchants casually, you see, there are fixed people trading in these rooms. ”

Sheng Lingyun didn't answer, and Uncle Wu didn't care, and walked forward by himself.

When he arrived at the middle room, Uncle Wu stopped, the door was locked, and it seemed that Uncle Wu's delivery object had not yet arrived. Uncle Wu put his hand on the door lock, but suddenly stopped, Sheng Lingyun frowned, and raised his vigilance.

Uncle Wu paused for a moment, did not open the lock, but turned his head and looked at Sheng Lingyun apologetically, and said: "Oh Shaoxia, I have to tell you in advance, there are three buyers for our goods here, I am here, Li Heng is in the back, and there is another one in the innermost, all at the same time, who do you think you want to follow?"

Sheng Lingyun didn't expect that there were so many doorways in the Storm Gate, and now that he was alone, even if Xu Yunxi was here, they couldn't be separated. The most important thing is that he originally thought that the goods that Frightening Wind really wanted to send were in Furong Town, and there were so many Yuyuan checkpoints and such strict defenses, how could ordinary people easily make moves. But now that Uncle Wu said this, it seemed to be telling him that they had ghosts and couldn't catch them, what the hell was going on?

"Uncle Wu, I will naturally go with you, if there is anything important left out in the future, you just say it and I will listen." Sheng Lingyun had already thought about it, if they really had any ulterior secrets, it would be handled by Uncle Wu personally, because Li Heng was not yet mature, and the other disciples would not be able to believe it. Uncle Wu's momentum is most likely to confuse himself, and he must not be confused.

"Whatever the young man says, it's what it is." Uncle Wu unlocked the door, and only he and Sheng Lingyun entered the room.

Li Heng and the remaining disciples were locked out, but they did not divide into two groups as Uncle Wu said, but walked inside together. There was a room in the innermost room, Li Heng knocked on the door, and a white-bearded housekeeper opened the door for them, "Wait here!" ”

It turns out that there are three buyers, and there has always been only one, and this is a special place for idlers to rest. Because there are often a bunch of people who come to deliver goods, but there are always only a few people who really talk about business, so in order to sympathize with everyone's hard work, the government has set aside a few rooms for the lone disciples and footmen to rest and wait.

Sheng Lingyun entered the room and looked around first, there was only one space here, simple and elegant, with tables and chairs for hospitality placed around, and tea and snacks had been arranged in advance, which was no different from the general lobby, but it was relatively small.

"Don't worry, Shaoxia, there will be no secret passages and dark rooms in the places guarded by the government." Uncle Wu tidied up his robe and sat on the chair, picked up the tea next to him and drank it by himself.

Sheng Lingyun thought that what he said was right, so he also sat next to Uncle Wu and waited quietly for the arrival of the buyer.

On the other side, the boatmen went down the street market, farther and farther. Coming out of the Pinghuai Wharf where they parked their boats and entering the market entrance, there is a single street, which can lead all the way to the Lingchuan River on the other bank, which is also the boundary between Yuyuan and Moluo.

Before the boatmen knew it, they were attracted to it. Walking to a large field, the front was full of people, and it turned out to be a group of acrobats in exotic costumes performing. There are blindfolded darts, solo dancing, fire-breathing circles, and all kinds of wonderful and dangerous performances, attracting everyone to stop and watch.

The boatmen rarely see such a thrilling performance, and they can't help but cheer along with the applause, and the enthusiasm of the audience is getting higher and higher.

About ten meters away from the performance place, there is a stilt building, on which stands a sentry, and behind the stilt building there is a row of houses, which are heavily guarded today.

The show is in full swing, and now is the most critical time for flying knife carving. The performer was a few meters away from a table with a low piece of ice, and he held a throwing knife in his hand, which he threw at the ice like a dart. The difference is that the knives do not sink into the ice, but fall along with the broken ice, and then take shape little by little. This carving itself is very difficult, and now the ice cubes are small, although it can reduce the performance time, but it is not easy to aim, and the difficulty is another level. Now that the ice cube has the outline of a portrait, the performer is sculpting his face, everyone is holding their breath and waiting for the finished product, the scene is suddenly much quieter, and the crowd is gathering more and more.

The lips are out! The nose is also out! The audience finally couldn't help but burst into a deafening applause, and then waited for the last and hardest part of the work - the eyes.

However, just as the knife was thrown out with the wind howling, a child sprang out of nowhere in the crowd and rushed up to hug the artwork. As soon as the flying knife came out, where could it be recovered, and where could the knife thrower react, so everyone watched like this, and a flying knife pierced the child's temple, and blood flowed all the time.

A scream erupted in the crowd, and a commotion began to surge, and the sentinels in the distance noticed that the situation was different, and hurriedly went to inform General Li, who had arrived here today to stay here.

The reason why Yuyuan is so lively today was originally to celebrate the return of General Li Xuanli to subdue the Moluo alien race in the Baisha area near Lingchuan. This is a major victory finally achieved by the two sides after three months of stalemate, so the people are so ostentatious, in order to pick up the dust for General Li Xuan.

Li Xuan only marched here in the middle of the night last night, and he was still recuperating at the moment, thinking that he could rest for a day, but he didn't expect that he hadn't slept well, and the deputy guard next to him hurriedly reported: "General, it's not good, there's a fight on the street."

"What's the matter!" Li Xuan got up from the couch with a hint of anger in his eyes, "Do you need to ask me for troops in the street fight!" ”

Li Xuan thought it was a fight caused by an ordinary misunderstanding, but he didn't expect that all the trivial things would bother him, which was really hateful.

"It's not...... General, someone died. "The deputy guards trembled, they had stayed up for so long to achieve a victory, and before they had officially accepted the enthusiastic cheers of the people, they sent such a generous gift first, which made people feel so cold.
