Chapter 114: Under the Mountain of Strange Beasts
"Presumably, a few young ladies should be from Changyuan City, so it's normal to not know."
As soon as the shopkeeper saw that the opportunity had come, he immediately talked eloquently: "These four major families are the Ji family of the 'Pan Junlai' restaurant, the Jiang family of the 'Jinmanlou' jewelry, the Yao family of the 'Bingtianxia' weapons and the Ren family of the 'Buyitian' cloth industry, these four families are the foundation of our Great Xia Kingdom, can't you not know when you arrive in the capital!" β
Yang Luo frowned deeply when he heard this.
How can four families that monopolize the market have something to do with the foundation of the country?
"Isn't it just rich?"
Yang Luo shook his head and said, "Xiao Er, your words seem to be a little more serious, right?" β
"Childe doesn't know, these four families all have great backgrounds, and it is said that they all have a close relationship with the magnates in the court, but no one knows the specifics, but there are just some coincidences that everyone speculates." The shopkeeper seems to be very chatty, and he is also very patient to talk.
Something to do with the court?
It won't be state-run, right?
"So what kind of coincidence would people guess so much?" Yang Luo looked up and asked.
"This ......"
The shopkeeper didn't seem to dare to say anything, and looked around nervously, and found that no one was paying attention, so he whispered: "Today's saint is surnamed Jiang, and the three princes who sit down are all the other three surnames!" β
"Shhh
Yang Luo was about to eat meat but suddenly stopped, frowned and said, "The four major families may be the four most powerful?" Wow, that's amazing! β
"These are just speculations, and Childe will know when he goes to the capital."
The shopkeeper seemed to yearn for the capital, shook his head and said, "It's a pity that the capital is where the gods of Great Xia are located, and I'm afraid I won't be able to go there for the rest of my life." β
"Peace is a blessing, and going is not necessarily a good thing." Tong Geyu smiled slightly, this smile was very affinity, and it seemed to persuade the shopkeeper.
"That's what Miss said."
The shopkeeper seems to be unable to find the north because of Tong Geyu's words.
Yang Luo looked at Tong Geyu, and at this time, Tong Geyu also happened to look at Yang Luo, both of them hesitated for a moment, and then they both smiled slightly.
"Oh, let's eat, what are you doing all the boring questions?" Hua Piaoxiang doesn't seem to be satisfied, this Pan Junlai is actually a big family industry.
She doesn't like people using this name.
glanced at Yang Luo, and seemed not very happy.
"It's just that I won't inadvertently offend the nobles when I go to the capital, so it's convenient." Yang Luo smiled, stopped talking, and began to stuff the beef into his mouth.
The rest of the people also ate it.
β¦β¦
After the meal, a few people didn't stay long, but when they passed by the Zhongcheng military camp in Jingchun City, they glanced at the huge faΓ§ade of the four major families here.
It is indeed quite magnificent, and the four main stores are very luxurious, giving people an urge to go in when they see it.
Of course, Yang Luo is not included.
He knew that as soon as he went in this kind of place, his pocket would be empty when he came out.
I still have to go to the Courtyard of the Gods, so I have to save some money, after all, the general gave him a total of 1,200 taels, and 1,000 taels were to be handed over to the Courtyard of the Gods.
So a few people rode out of the south gate of Jingchun City without delay.
From a distance, between Jingchun City and the next main city, Yangliancheng, there is a high mountain that rises up, which is extremely majestic, in the west of the two cities, but this is not a sacred mountain.
Rather, it is said that this mountain is famous for its man-eating beasts.
It is known as 'Devil's Mountain'.
Although there is a stream at the foot of the mountain, there is no village far away, because on this mountain lives the delicious 'yayu', which is very fierce and extremely fast.
If you go down the mountain and eat people, you won't even see a shadow, and the person who is targeted will disappear with you.
It is said that the general has been here several times because of this, but he has not found this beast, and it has not been reported for a long time that he has gone down the mountain to eat people.
So gradually, people thought that he was dead.
Yang Luo was because the master old blacksmith had challenged the alien beast in order to help him build a divine bow, even if he was so strong and seriously injured, but in the end he still killed the iron.
only then did he create this divine bow on Yang Luo's body.
Frankly speaking, Yang Luo felt very uncomfortable, he didn't expect that the beast would be so powerful.
So when he came out of Jingchun City, Yang Luo's eyes kept staring at this Devil Mountain, because he actually wanted to know how fierce the strange beasts in this world were!
"Would you love to check it out?" Tong Geyu saw that Yang Luo had been staring at it, so he asked out loud.
"Forget it, in case this rampant is hungry and just happens to see us when he goes down the mountain, then we will probably be wiped out, and the capital will die here halfway before he goes to Chengdu." Yang Luo smiled.
"It's been a long time since Qiqi came out, it should be long gone, and let's go there to collect some water if we don't go up the mountain, it's okay, I heard that the water under the Devil's Mountain is sweet." Tong Geyu insisted on going.
Yang Luo looked at the back that was all within reach.
The heart said can you not be so good......
"I've also heard that the water under the Devil's Mountain is indeed very sweet, so why don't we pass by the mountain and pick some back." The fragrance of flowers is also grinning.
Yu Lichao ran directly towards that side and rode his horse.
Because he also seemed to notice that Yang Luo seemed to want to go, and besides, there had indeed been no incident of anyone being eaten in Devil's Mountain in recent years.
There are also a lot of people who go there to collect water.
"......"
Yang Luo still wanted to stop it, he didn't want to destroy the team just because he wanted to feel the breath of Devil Mountain.
"Just go, I want to drink." Tong Geyu smiled.
"Hmm."
Yang Luo nodded, thinking in his heart that he would never go up the mountain, just feel it at the bottom of the mountain.
So the three fast horses rushed quickly in the direction of Devil's Mountain, with Yu Lichao as the leader of the fast horses running first, Yang Luo's second, and Xia Fan's at the rear.
This time it was the fastest run, and the speed of the good horse was extremely fast!
"It's so fast, giggle...... Giggle......"
Hua Piaoxiang opened her arms excitedly and laughed.
And Tong Geyu seemed to be a little uncomfortable with such a fast speed, and kept leaning into Yang Luo's arms, which was definitely out of instinct, not a temptation.
Yang Luo had the intention to slow down, but Tong Geyu insisted on hurrying up, so in desperation, he had no choice but to go like this.
Looking at the Devil's Mountain that was getting closer and closer, Yang Luo kept thinking about how strong Qiqi would be?
The iron-eating beast of the iron can actually hurt the master like that, even if it is not as weak as estimated......
