If you don't have this kind of self-confidence, you will kill yourself first.

There were no officials in the city of the Middle Zhou Dynasty, only the city lord, who was the supreme governor, who could be hereditary and had the power of life and death of the entire city.

Out of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain, the first city 'Feng'.

There is no need to disguise, and there is no need to disguise, the relationship between the people in the middle and Zhou is complicated, and people from all over the country have frequent activities and live in harmony, so there is no need to disguise each other's identities here.

Everyone comes for money, just for comfort, just for happiness.

"Wait...... Eighty-one of you, eighty-one taels of silver! ”

The guards guarding the city gate stopped Xu Ding and the others.

The captive Nanming man explained: "Any city that enters the Middle Zhou Dynasty is subject to city tax, and there are men and women who can enter the city, and if they don't pay the money, they will kill people, and even those mercenaries will not ask themselves to help themselves, kill the person who commits the taboo, and you can get the property of the person who violates the taboo." ”

One person and one or two silver, it's really expensive.

Yesterday, from these Nanming people, they collected ten taels of silver.

It's a pity that there is no money to enter the city.

"If you don't have any money, you can use things to deduct it!" The leader of the city guard was not surprised by this kind of thing, said lazily, and then waved his hand, and his own knowledgeable subordinates ran over, and then looked at Xu Ding and his group with a smile.

It's a big deal, eighty-one people, with goods deducted, they can collect more money.

Not to mention that it can scrape out more than a hundred taels.

Therefore, the Guardian Guards prefer mercenaries or Orions to use items as a deduction.

Xu Dingdao was not hypocritical, it was good to be able to enter the city, so he filled up all the other equipment of the captured Nanming people except firearms.

"Barely count you ten taels, your broken crossbow is worthless, but the knife on your body is a good knife."

Xu Ding smiled slightly: "Ten taels is ten taels, the knife is temporarily kept for eating, and the guy who has not eaten will be mixed in the rivers and lakes in the future!" ”

His own knife is a treasure knife, and it is enough for him to exchange the entire 'Feng' city.

How could Xu Ding be so splashed to offset it.

"Cut, I really thought it was a good knife, but it was worth one hundred and eighty taels of silver, and there were a lot of piles in the treasury of our city lord!" The other party sneered.

The soldiers on Xu Ding's body suddenly became angry and stared at him.

Xu Ding raised his hand to stop everyone, and then ordered eight people, escorting this Nanming man into the city.

The others remained outside the city.

The city of 'Feng' is very different from the county capital city of the Han Dynasty, and the size is comparable.

However, the population is denser, and the city is more developed and lively.

The flow of people is endless, and all kinds of shouting and frolicking are continuous.

Xu Ding saw this Nanming man looking around, looking dazzled, and asked, "You haven't been here?" ”

The Nanming captive scratched his head a little embarrassed and said, "The first time, the first time, although we have crossed the border many times to enter the Central Zhou, we have never entered the city.

The entry tax is too high, and it is not easy to earn some money. ”

Damn, it turned out to be a chick who was younger than herself.

Xu Dingdao: "Then what about your Nanming city, what is the difference between it and the middle Zhou?" ”

The Nanming captive replied: "Although we don't have to pay taxes when we enter the city of Nanming, we also pay a lot of other taxes, and we need to open a road guide to travel, and we have to report everywhere, but it's troublesome."

However, the city on our side is also quite prosperous, but it is not as active as them, and most of them are locals, and the business is not so lively, unless it is a New Year's holiday. ”

Xu Ding nodded slightly, Lu Yin This thing was also available in the original Ming Dynasty.

That thing is too restrictive, and it greatly restricts the people, so it's strange that it can be active.

"My lord, why don't you seem to be very novel." This Nanming captive was a little puzzled, Xu Ding and the others didn't seem to be very interested in this kind of extremely active trade city, and their reaction was a little flat, far from the expectation before entering the city.

Xu Ding said with a smile: "I've seen a lot, it's not surprising to myself, this kind of small town is just like that." ”

Hardly surprising!

Small town!

But that's it!

Listen to what people say?

What the hell is this group of guys coming from?

Holding the inferior weapons of the Western Qin people, but speaking with the accent of the Eastern Tang people (mainly referring to Xu Ding's subordinates), as well as the physical fitness of the Northern Barbarians (referring to Xu Ding alone).

They are extremely interested in the firearms of the Nanming people.

I don't know anything about the middle and Monday, and I don't know anything!

The aristocratic dignitaries have the same down-looking mentality.

There is no such country in the east of the continent.

After going around the city, Xu Ding asked Xiao Si to record everything along the way, and then spent a little money to find out the basic situation of 'Feng' City in the city.

Understand that here is the same as what the Nanming people said, there are many employment organizations.

Then there is the 'Feng' city lord named Jiang Li, Jiang Li defeated the former city lord ten years ago, gained the right to rule, personal bravery, and his guards are not many, only two thousand people.

But he had close ties to the city's mercenary organizations.

Most of these organizations obey his orders, and it is rumored that the mercenaries are also his men, but they are hiding in the shadows.

Once someone is unfavorable to Jiang Li and wants to rob him of his 'abundance', Jiang Li must know about it first, so he will deal with it silently.

So that he could rule for ten years without a single challenger.

In addition to the city lord Jiang Li and the mercenaries, Xu Ding also knew that there was a martial arts arena and an auction house in the city.

The competition is easy to understand, go in and ask for tickets, the person who competes lives and dies, the winner has a prize, and the reward is rich.

The auction house will auction items from other places, as well as rare birds and beasts and various resources from the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain.

However, this one is not open often, and it is open occasionally.

After understanding it clearly, I found a place to stay in the city and rest for the night.

The next day, Xu Ding went to the martial arts arena alone.

He is still full of awe and curiosity about the combat power of this world.

The firearms of the Southern Ming Dynasty, the ordnance of the Western Qin, the inscriptions and military formations of the Eastern Tang Dynasty, and the body of the Northern Barbarians.

It seems that there are many combinations, and Xu Ding will not make a rash move before he understands it, and he does not dare to send troops and horses over.

Spent a little money to enter the martial arts arena, which was full, and many people came to see this bloody scene.

It is also said that the folk customs here are more fierce, and they are bloodier than other places in the Middle Zhou Dynasty, because the fierce beasts of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains are more ferocious, and there are many people who come here to make a windfall.

And those who can survive are strong players.

Opponents fight and fight is my favorite.

There is nothing too entertaining in the city, and this is the only way to vent the anger of the people.

"Everyone hurry up and bet, the betting will stop after half an hour, and it will be up to our No. 99 to No. 89, life and death, victory and defeat, and those who want to make a fortune and become famous hurry up......"

A staff member in the arena began to shout and urge, following the temptation.

If you really haven't thought it through, you don't have to do your best struggle and run to the place where you bet your money and bet your money.

Xu Dingze found a remote position in the back and took in the entire arena.

Suddenly, a person sat next to Xu Ding.

Xu Ding glanced at it, this person was dressed elegantly, with a white complexion.

With a book in his hand, yes, a book, a book made of paper.

There is also a pen in his hand, a very small brush, but the tip of the pen is thin and white, and there is no dust stained.

Just glanced at it, Xu Ding didn't care, but looked at the entire arena.

Only then did he suddenly come forward and asked with a cheap smile: "This brother, why don't you end up, I see that everyone here has placed bets and is betting on treasures." ”

"No money!" Xu Ding replied without being salty.

The Confucian man who accosted the man was stunned for a moment.

No money?

"Brother Tai is really a funny person, who is here to gamble in this competition, who would be willing to pay to buy tickets if there is no money." The Confucian man who accosted him asked the bottom of the question with a look of disbelief.

Xu Ding turned his face, his expression did not change at all, stared at his eyes and said, "I just want to see!" ”

I just want to see, is this talking about human words?

Who TM idle boring spend money to watch this unexciting competition.

If it's those famous martial arts competitions, it's reasonable, it's just an ordinary competition.

Those who came to watch it were all for Boyi, and the process of the competition was not what they expected.

Xu Ding didn't explain, because the center field below began to board the host.

"Everyone, bet to stop, please return to your seat, please 99 and 88 below, what is the outcome of the game, please keep your eyes open!"

After saying that, the man jumped off the stage, and then two strong men dressed as warriors walked out of the passages on the left and right sides of the stage.

Then one holds a sword, and the other holds a sword.

glanced at each other, didn't say anything cruel, didn't show anything to the audience, and rushed directly to each other.

Then each of them fought ten moves and eight moves according to their abilities, and the results were out.

Some people win, some people lose, eternal truth.

There is one thing on the stage, the same one off the stage, some people are happy, look up to the sky and laugh, and some people scold and complain and are annoyed.

Only Xu Ding's expression remained the same, and his expression was natural without any emotional change.

"Brother Tai's mentality is really stable, make a friend, and give birth to Bailang in the next 'Feng' city." The man gestured towards Xu Ding with a fist.

Xu Ding's expression finally changed slightly, but he quickly disappeared, then looked at this person again, and then replied lightly: "Xu Ding, a passerby in the world!" ”

Bai Lang, the man who called himself Bai Xiaosheng, was stunned again.

Visitors in the world, interesting, interesting.

Bai Lang said: "Brother Tai is really unusual, not ordinary!" ”

"You're welcome!" Xu Ding simply replied with two words, and then turned his gaze to the entire arena.

Bai Lang was a little deflated, as if this passer-by didn't know his Bai Xiaosheng's name.

When others arrived in the city of 'Feng', they heard his name and admired him, and when they saw him as a person, they were all flattering and stammered, but this one was not interested at all.

Then there were three more fights, but they all ended very quickly, and the competition announced that today's show was over, and it ended.

After everyone left, Xu Ding got up.

Bai Lang said: "Brother Tai has just come to 'Feng' City, why don't you be the little brother as the east, how about inviting your brother to have a drink?" ”

"Okay!" Xu Ding simply spit out a word.

Bai Lang led the way in front.

The people in the arena are whispering in the back.

Who is this stranger, he was able to get Bai Xiaosheng's invitation, and he sat and watched such a boring competition the whole time.

Bai Lang led Xu Ding to the best restaurant in the city, and then asked for a private room on the third floor.

This building has four floors and overlooks many parts of the city.

At the same time, Xu Ding also estimated the level of construction in Zhongzhou or Longteng Continent.

"How about Brother Tai, the environment here is okay, you can see most of the city, and you can see the scenery in the city." Bai Lang smiled and introduced:

"The sprinklers and dishes in this sprinkling building are the best in the city, I hope Brother Tai can like it."

Bai Lang had been paying attention to the change in Xu Ding's expression.

Sure enough, it was right to bring him here, Xu Ding was interested in 'Feng', especially the urban layout.

What is the origin of this person, and what is the matter of coming to the 'Feng' city?

As Bai Xiaosheng of 'Feng' City, Bai Lang felt that it was necessary to figure it out, and he must be the first to know.

Xu Ding retracted his gaze, then walked back to the table, picked up the wine, poured the wine, pinched the wine glass, sniffed it, and said: "It's not bad, it's not good, it's not bad!" ”

"Oh! Brother Tai refers to the 'Feng' city or this wine! Bai Lang became even more curious, this wine is the best in the city, even the city lord only drinks the wine of this restaurant.

Xu Dingdao: "Both. ”

After speaking, Xu Ding raised his head and drank it, and sure enough, good wine can smell or not.

There is still a big gap between the wine produced on its own side.

Therefore, Donglai's wine can be sold at a good price, and it can absorb the original capital and gather wealth.

Soon the cooking food sent by the restaurant guys, of course, also had cheat sheets.

However, after Xu Ding tasted them one by one, he put down his chopsticks.

Bai Lang asked, "Why is this dish not to my brother's appetite?" ”

This dish was specially made by the best chef in the restaurant.

If this kind of dish is not good, then it will be a little difficult to guess the origin of Xu Ding in front of him.

The best cooks in the world are only the royal family, the royal palace and the dignitaries.

They have delicacies from the mountains and seas, and all kinds of ingredients are rare in the world.

The taste is naturally very tricky.

Xu Ding said: "Reluctantly! It goes well with wine. ”

A good match!

It looks like a compliment, but it's actually a derogatory.

The wine is average, and the food is average.

"Brother Tai's identity is not ordinary, it's for nothing, Meng Lang, I'll let people do it again." Bai Lang suddenly paid more attention.

Xu Ding's expression couldn't deceive him, there was a sense of nobility in his arrogance, and his temperament and momentum were extraordinary.

Although he ignores his own love, he is certainly not a simple person.

Xu Dingdao: "No need, you can eat it if you make do, I don't really pay attention to it, of course, this is just a matter of facts, another day I will invite Brother Bai to taste what is delicious, what is the essence of the elixir and jade liquid." ”

"Hahaha, then I'll thank you, I'm looking forward to what good wine and delicious food my brother will bring me." Bai Lang also drank a glass of wine, and suddenly felt that the delicious wine he had drunk before became a little dull, and he became more and more interested in Xu Ding's words.

People are like this, what they can't get is in the commotion and expectation.

Next, Xu Ding and Bai Lang started a normal conversation and communication.

Xu Ding's knowledge and knowledge directly crushed Bai Lang.

Don't look at Bai Lang is Bai Xiaosheng, but where is his little ink Xu Ding's opponent.

was defeated all of a sudden, and he admired Xu Ding.

It wasn't until he was drunk and lying on the table that Xu Ding said: "Brother Bai, I'll leave first, and we'll meet here another day!" ”

After speaking, Xu Ding picked up a token that was placed on the table and Bai Lang gave him, walked out of the private room and went downstairs.

The moment Xu Ding stepped out of the door of the restaurant, Bai Xiaosheng got up from the table, came to the half-open window and stared at Xu Ding walking on the street, and muttered:

"How can Jiaolong be a thing in the pool, the wind and rain can't be crazy, this 'Feng' city is afraid that it will soon be lively."
