The twenty-third round entered the town and handed over the horses
It is the bearded soldiers, the Turks who have eaten at the hands of the Tang Dynasty, and at this moment they are like hungry wolves, predating everywhere on the Gobi Desert in the desert, and a large number of small countries are about to suffer.
The Turkic soldiers also saw Xiang Gong and their small team, and a man who looked like a general looked at him twice, said a few words to a small soldier beside him, and laughed.
Then he didn't turn his head back, so he rode his horse and led the team away, as if Xiang Gong was a small shrimp, and it was not enough to stuff his teeth at all, let alone fill his stomach.
Xiang Gong ignored them, and after nearly two months of walking through the Gobi Desert, an abrupt mountain finally appeared in front of them and reached into the sky, which was their only destination at the moment.
When I entered the mountains, I found that between the straight mountains, the strange rocks were craggy, the cold wind was blowing, the cliffs could be seen everywhere, and in the deep valley under the cliffs, a silver-like water flow flowed slowly, and the sound of the ding dong water was indescribably tactful.
Such a combination of extremely rigid and extremely soft scenery makes people have to sigh at the Creator's miraculous workmanship.
At the end of the trail, five people and four horses were lying on their backs.
"It's unlikely, it's going to settle here, it must be a big pervert." General Yin said.
"Although Lord Yin Shi said that it is unpleasant, it is a true insight, and it really takes inhuman perseverance to settle in such a place." Xuanzang nodded and said.
"Enter? Not entering? Goku asked, turning his head.
Xiang Gong stared at the archway for a long time, twisted his somewhat sore neck, and nodded without hesitation: "Enter, of course enter, do you want to stay on the Gobi and wait for the bearded soldiers to sweep us away?" ”
Yes, the Turkic famine has been raging for more than nine months since the middle of February, and they have to resort to military force in a vain attempt to support the people by war and survive the famine.
It's a pity that they chose Datang first, which is simply death, and in the end, although they resolved the temporary predicament through negotiation, they lived for many days with the grain and grass that Datang received.
But you can feed the belly of a hungry wolf, but you can never feed a greedy heart comparable to a hungry wolf, and the tragedy of cannibalism among the Turks still happens from time to time.
It is really prosperous, the people are suffering, and when they die, the people are suffering.
Shaking his head, Xiang Gong shook off these illusory thoughts, the lofty questions, it is better to leave them to those gentry and nobles to worry about, he is just a small people, and now he needs to take care of himself first.
Take everyone through the archway, go inside, a gust of cold wind blows, the plaque on the archway swayed twice, fell off the side, obliquely embellished on the archway, the three big characters on it, has been a little blurred, "Eagle Sorrow Town".
After the archway, walk three or four miles, is the town of Yingchou.
The houses here are all built under a huge ledge, as if embedded in the mountain wall, and man is indeed the most perverted creature, and he has carved out a village and town on the cliff.
There is only one main street in Yingchou Town, and I don't know how far it extends, Xiang Gong and they are in trouble at the corner of the street, and they are frowning at a stone plaque.
"Entering the town and handing over the horses? What kind of rule is this? General Yin asked, pouting.
"Why don't we take a detour, Master Xiang Gong?" Xuanzang proposed.
"Don't pay!" Wukong's suggestion is still more in line with Xiang Gong's thoughts.
"Yes, no!" Xiang Gong immediately agreed.
"Actually, I think so too, but there is only one road here, I don't know how long it will take to go around, and I can't pass if I don't pay the horse, what should I do?" General Yin asked.
"Hit it!" A chill suddenly appeared in Wukong's eyes.
Xiang Gong shuddered, and hurriedly persuaded: "Alas, you, you, isn't it good for everyone to be harmonious, why bother to use knives and guns?" ”
"So what do you say?" Wukong glanced at Xiang Gong and asked.
The final decision was that Xiang Gong went over to discuss the first and discussed it with money.
After two months on the road, no matter how irritable and lazy Xiang Gong was, he never wasted the opportunity that the Treasure Bag task only had once a day.
In addition to some necessary living needs, Xiang Gong demands money the most.
In a sparsely populated environment like the Gobi Desert, money may seem like the most useless thing, but Xiang Gong has no choice but to maintain his team's expenses in the future.
And it's not that there are too many silver taels for each appeal, not that the system has limitations, but the main thing is that the difficulty of the task is too bad.
Xiang Gong also asked for five hundred taels of silver at first, but when he saw that the task required to provide three days of dry food for five hundred passing merchants, Xiang Gong decisively gave up.
Finally, just yesterday, Xiang Gong was able to save enough Kaiyuan Tongbao 30 Guan Wen, how sad is it?
But what is even more tragic than this is that such a small amount of money is now specially given away.
Xiang Gong shook his head, grabbed a large handful from the bag, turned it upside down, and put it back in a small half, and then walked towards the manager next to the horse card in the town.
"Oh, this big brother, let's come from afar, we want to borrow the precious treasure land, and don't stay here, do you see if it's convenient for the line, don't we pay the horse, is it?"
Xiang Gong said with a smile on his face, and the manager who was lying on the table knocked on the table, and Xiang Gong looked at it, the register.
"Love to pay, don't love to pull down!" The manager said angrily.
Xiang Gong congratulated and said with a smile: "If you don't pay, you can register?" Ouch, I'll just say, I've heard of paying tolls, but I've never heard of paying road horses......"
As he spoke, Xiang Gong picked up the pen and was about to make a registration, but the manager immediately slapped his hand and covered the register.
"Register your horse!"
"You...... Didn't you say that you don't love to pay and pull down? How can you go back on your word? ”
"Of course you can not pay, then you can go back the same way, go on a detour, there is so much, pay or not?" The manager reluctantly slapped the table and straightened up with a look of disgust.
"Bang la la" There was a crisp sound, and the eyes of the manager who had just stood up immediately widened, and dozens of Kaiyuan Tongbao on the table were still rolling, and the manager was surprised: "Datang is here?" ”
"This big brother is convenient...... Hehe......" Xiang Gong looked at his expression and knew that today's matter was almost over.
Sure enough, if money can make the ghost grind, and if it can be solved with money, he is not a problem at all!
The manager frowned for a long time, looked around, seemed to casually put the money into his pocket, and muttered, "It's just a passerby!" ”
Xiang Gong nodded hurriedly, and the manager immediately stood up, stretched, and deliberately said loudly: "Alas, I haven't even seen a ghost for most of the day, damn, pee!" ”
Then he walked into a stone cave dug in the cliff with his hands behind his back, Xiang Gong looked at it, and hurriedly turned around and beckoned a few people to hurry up and get on the horse and enter the town.
"Brother Xiang, what did you tell him?" General Yin asked.
"Just gave him a little money, hehe!" Xiang Gong smiled, Xuanzang shook his head, and General Yin's eyes widened.
"Can it work?" Goku asked.
Xiang Gong nodded, he only had Kaiyuan Tongbao in his hand, but the currency used by Qu Zhi was small gold coins, small silver coins and small copper coins, which were not the same as the Kaiyuan Tongbao of the Tang Dynasty at all.
Wukong should be worried about Datang's Kaiyuan Tongbao, which is not universal in Quzhi, in fact, Wukong is a little too filtered, Datang is now a national prestige, Quzhi is adjacent to Datang, almost equivalent to vassals.
Therefore, when the Tang people came to Quzhi, they all had to receive special attention, and Kaiyuan Tongbao was almost equivalent to the second base currency here, which was not only universal, but also widely used.
"Then let's get through the town quickly, or we'll get into trouble!" Xuanzang was in a hurry and didn't want to get into trouble.
"What's the hurry, I want to stay here for a few days!" Xiang Gong said with a smile.
"Didn't the donor promise people, just passing by?" Xuanzang was surprised.
Xiang Gong smiled and ignored it, heh, just passing by......
How can it be?
