Chapter III. 193. A dog saves Chang'an

The prosperity and gold reputation of Chang'an City is not only well-known in Huayu Continent; And in the mouths of those foreign merchants, it also gave it the reputation of a golden city. This title gradually spread throughout the world with a load of tea, a horse of silk, and the mouths of those merchants who returned to their hometowns and returned to their hometowns. Even today, many unknown outsiders still think that Chang'an City is a fairyland on earth with gold brick walls, jasper paving, night pearls as light, and milk as water.

Of course, no matter when Chang'an City is, it is definitely not the magical appearance of those people; And in the wells of the land of Sanqin, fresh milk cannot gush out at all; However, there will always be various deviations in human memory; And a wise man who thinks independently and sees is believing can't resist the leisurely mouth of many fools.

Therefore, Chang'an, the golden city far away in the east, is unimaginably rich and fertile in the eyes of those foreigners who have never visited this place, and it is a fairyland on earth favored by the gods!

Where there are people, friction will inevitably occur! Even the monks of Huayu Zen Buddhism, who are bathed in the incense of green lanterns and serve the Buddha wholeheartedly, will be divided into two families in the north and south because of their different ideas; And even more so to the point of rising to the point of one race, one nation? Therefore, the hometown of these big cannibals is no different from the Huayu Continent; Every once in a while, it's always a mess.

And the bearded man who sold Bai Heng medicine powder was originally an exiled black-clothed food merchant; And the woman with the severed hand who handed over the goods to Bai Heng was this bearded lady.

Originally, he was only in Xifang City, Chang'an City, doing the family spice business. And in Yonghefang in Chang'an City, he also has a small house of his own. Originally, their family of five had a prosperous life.

All the big food merchants like him are the first batch of big cannibal relics to come to Chang'an City to do business. Although his appearance and skin color are very different from those of Huayu locals; But since the day he was born, he has drunk the water of the Qinling Mountains and eaten the wheat grown in the loess, which can be said to be a native of the locals! In addition, he was born in a merchant family since he was a child, so the most devout belief in his mind is only the real money and silver of the ingot, not the clay fetal statues of different shapes and names......

However, as more and more cannibals settled in Chang'an City, the Guru of the White-clothed Ye Sect and the Venerable Sect of the Black-clothed Nun Sect naturally migrated here with merchants and their families, and were allowed to open two shrines of the Prophet.

According to the revised laws of King Qin, there are strict restrictions on the people from all over the world who settle in Chang'an City. For example, Dongying Island, which is separated by water from the Northern Yan Dynasty, can settle in Chang'an City with merchants, scholars, craftsmen, artists, etc., all of which are added together, and the total number cannot exceed 3,000 people; Of course, those traveling merchants who do not buy houses and properties in Chang'an City do not need to be counted in the 3,000 limit.

And what about the quota that the King of Qin allocated to the black and white food merchants? The upper limit is 2,000 per family.

The bearded man who came into contact with Bai Heng was the descendant of the first group of merchants who took root in Chang'an City. However, today, although Chang'an City, which has lost its status as the capital, has lost the majesty of the kingdom of all countries and the majesty of the state in all directions; But after all, it is still a super city with a prosperous economy, so the market price of a foreign merchant who is legally stranded is still above two thousand taels of gold!

Throughout the ages, most of the people sent by Dongying Island to stay in Chang'an City were craftsmen and scholars who belonged to the princes, generals or famous families, and a small number of people were the descendants of some local bigwigs; And what about the places for the big cannibals? It is all presented in the form of donations to the teachers or Venerable Beings in the teaching, who will manage and distribute them in a unified manner.

Of course, the real meaning behind this donation is also thought-provoking enough.

As for that bearded man, why didn't he do the good family spice business, and was reduced to stealing other people's money on the street, and no one came forward to negotiate for him after committing the crime? The real reason behind this is that I am afraid that it is not enough for outsiders. It's just that Bai Heng can be sure of one thing, judging from this person's business acumen, his ability to deal with people, and his ability to look at people's eyebrows, then even if this bearded man is just a poor self-made ghost, as long as he can work steadily for three or five years, he can definitely get rich!

Tonight, not only Bai Heng is preparing to make trouble in Chang'an City; At the same time, Yonghefang, located south of Honglu Temple, which is where the altar opened by the black-clothed Venerable of the Nun sect is located, also gathered many so-called big food merchants in advance.

These big cannibals were all burly young men, each of them with powerful and bloodshot eyes, and they were also exuding a bloodthirsty light, without the slightest bit of the slick and philistine that merchants were accustomed to! These people, following an old man whose robe was embroidered with gold and silver ornaments, shook their heads back and forth, and recited scriptures in a low voice that others could not understand......

After a while, Bai Heng also successfully stirred the medicinal powder in the two paper packets and fused them together. Next, he's ready to start rescuing the hostages!

Although he was almost certain at this time, the three hostages must have been imprisoned by Zhou Changfeng in his mansion; But in order to avoid accidents, he still sneaked into the palace first and carefully checked around. Sure enough, except for some subordinates and servants who were daily maintained, all the palaces were pitch black.

After confirming that there was no one in the palace, Bai Heng began to clear the route out of the city.

First of all, the shortest route is Suzaku Street, which runs directly south of the palace from Suzaku Gate, and the main road that leads directly to the Myeongdeomon Gate in the south of the city. Of course, this main street, which runs from north to south, is also the main road where night patrol soldiers and guard soldiers are most frequented; On the tower of Mingde Gate, every hour, there will be a handover of shifts; The guards for each shift consisted of two squads of twenty-six soldiers.

At this time, Bai Heng had already hidden in the Fufeng Army barracks near the South City Gate. He swept the large food powder in his hand up and down, listening to the snoring sound in his ears, but he never made up his mind. In his mind: the so-called non-own race, its heart will be different! This thing was said to be amazing by the bearded man, but after all, he was not Lang Zhong, nor was he a witch master, and he didn't know anything about the true medicinal effect of this thing......

While he was in a state of great confusion, a thin orange wildcat suddenly sprang past him; And not far behind this wild cat, there is also a grinning tortoiseshell wild dog! After Bai Heng held his breath and let go of the wild cat that was running wildly, he listened to the sound of running in his ears getting closer and closer, and stretched out a big hand like lightning, just pinching the wild dog's open jaw, and gently lifting it diagonally upward......

With a muffled sound, the grinning wild dog was dragged off his jaw by Bai Heng. Before the wild dog could get up, Bai Heng quickly removed the joints around it, so that it could only collapse weakly on the ground, staring at Bai Heng who was plotting against him with drooling at the corners of his mouth......

"You said that you are such a big dog, you don't steal chickens and ducks, what's the use of chasing a cat to death? It's not enough to stuff your teeth? Why are you staring at me? Although I still have a few taels of meat on this old bone, it must be sour in my mouth......"

Bai Heng was babbling nonsense at the wild dog with a fierce look in his eyes and salivating at the corners of his mouth, but his saliva-soaked fingers were already pressed into the medicinal powder. As soon as he finished speaking, he raised three fingers and shook them quickly in front of the wild dog's wet nose......

"It's okay, grandpa has medicine here, and I don't know if I'm hungry when I fall asleep!"

With a violent gasp, the powder was successfully inhaled into the wild dog's nose; After about ten breaths, the sturdy, brutal and ferocious wild dog suddenly froze, and a dog's head, which had never yielded, also drooped completely, and slammed into the ground......

When Bai Heng saw that this medicine worked quickly, he also felt a little puzzled in his heart: Could it be that I wronged that bearded man?

But before he could come up with a reason, the wild dog who thought it was just a comatose past, began to drip black blood from the corner of his mouth...... From birth to death, only ten breaths passed, and it didn't even make the slightest sound, so it was reincarnated!

Seeing this, Bai Heng slapped his thigh, and instantly understood a little in his heart! Although he didn't yet know what the bearded man was noting; But as far as the packet of poison powder he sold to himself must be a sharp blade to kill people with a knife!

Just imagine, if you really spill this bag of medicine powder in a daze, whether it is the Jingzhao army in the city, or the city gate officials near the Mingde Gate, including the personal guards of the Xin'an Hou Mansion, they will immediately be like that dead wild dog, and they will end up spurting black blood and whimpering for their lives! And the bearded man told himself that the way to destroy the evidence was to throw all the remaining powders into the city's wells......

It happened that the moon was bright and windless tonight, and if he really acted according to his method, then until the patrol troops stationed outside the city returned to the city to replenish as usual; The huge city of Chang'an has completely fallen into a dangerous situation with no protection ability......

And who gave him the idea that bearded man was so deliberately approaching, confusing, and using himself so deliberately? And those people behind the beard, what earth-shattering things do they want to do in Chang'an City?

After Bai Heng thought of this level, he couldn't help but feel a little afraid; Turning his head to look at the dead dog, he found that in such a short period of time, the corpse had begun to emit a strange smell! Such a strange scene fell in Bai Heng's eyes, Rao is winter cold has not faded now, and he is still shocked into a cold sweat!

If he were asked at this time, if there was any artifact in this world that could hurt the Heavenly Spirit Vein, then Bai Heng and Bai Wenyan would definitely give a categorical answer:

Popularity!
