Chapter 34 Zongmiao Yongcheng, strange and strange

Despite his doubts, Xiao Chuan still did not leave the caravan, this time, after all, he is still relatively short of money, as the so-called "a penny is difficult to defeat a hero", secondly, Xiao Chuan is proud of his good kung fu, plus Comrade Xiao Chuan, I also want to see what this caravan can make a fuss, so although the caravan is still moving forward on the official road, Xiao Chuan has never left it. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the evening of one day, about ten days after the caravan had traveled like this, the group finally arrived at a relatively large city, and at this moment the caravan arrived at Yongcheng, the former capital of the Qin State. This Yongcheng is also very famous in the Qin State, think that when the Qin people broke through the confinement of the land of Longxi, they first established the national capital in Yongcheng, although this Yongcheng is not as famous as Xianyang in later generations, but it is only 33 years longer than Liyang as the capital of Qin, that is naturally strong is not a star and a half.

What Xiaochuan knows is that the Qin people built the capital Yongcheng since the early Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, which is today's Fengxiang County, Shaanxi Province, Yongcheng It is located on the Weibei Plateau in the west of Guanzhong, controlling the passage of Hanzhong and Shu in the south, and guarding the gateway to Hexi in the west, and to the east can go from the plateau to the former capital of the Western Zhou Dynasty, Qiyi, and the lower part of the plateau can reach the land of Fenghao, the capital of Zhou, along the Weishui Basin in the east.

Although it is said that since the middle of the Warring States period, the capital of the Qin State has been moved to Liyang, to the twelfth year of Qin Xiaogong, the Qin State moved the capital to the land of Beihan, that is, Xianyang, which is known to later generations, Yongcheng, the former capital of the Qin State that has experienced more than 300 years of wind and rain, has slowly decayed in the long river of history, but because of its important geographical location, and the temple of the Ying clan is still here, and the ancients are like "Sheji Sect Temple, reckless and unstoppable", so Yongcheng as the location of the temple of the Ying clan, It has always been very valued by the monarch.

But when Xiaochuan entered Yongcheng with the caravan, what he saw was much beyond imagination, Yongcheng at this moment can be said to be dilapidated, as far as the eye can see, there are broken bricks and tiles everywhere, although the people who come and go occasionally have brocade clothes, but more people are wearing linen clothes, and the shops on the street are not very open, more are closed doors, if those few rotten boards are also considered to come to the door, although Xiaochuan did not finish the whole city, but follow the caravan from the city gate to live this way, The entire Yongcheng can already be said to be ten rooms and nine empty.

"Oh, it's all like this here, can the things that this Fu Shuo and the slashers sell can sell, even if the people here still need Qi salt, but those things that are carried through the entire Qinling Mountain Range, what kind of people need them." Be careful and secretly said, after all, this caravan is very strange.

Thinking of this, Xiaochuan regrets very much that he should not be hired by these two, it seems that these two people are by no means as simple as they think, although they are not afraid of trouble, but they do not like to delay their trip to Zhaodi for inexplicable things, however, since they have come, they can only come and be safe, if the situation is not good, they are a big deal to leave alone, thinking of this, Xiaochuan's long-restless mood is slightly relieved.

After dinner, Ogawa quickly took a hot shower, and his hair was wet and he couldn't sleep, so Ogawa sat on a stool near the window, and Ogawa and the other two swordsmen lived in the same room. The other two couldn't sleep, and Xiaochuan also had a ride with the two, and chatted without a match.

"Brother Xian, Brother Yi, why did you say that our employer was so strange this time, according to that, I have really seen a lot of this kind of employer who crosses the Qinling Mountains to sell illicit salt, but after a lot of hardships, he ran to such a place where birds don't lay eggs, this, this, this is really, hey, what do you say" The swordsman surnamed Feng was the first to sigh and puzzle.

Xiao Chuan asked, "Are the two brothers also hired by the two of them in Liyan this time", Comrade Xiao Chuan did not notice this matter before, and at this moment there are so many unsolved mysteries in the caravan, Xiao Chuan has to inquire to confirm whether his speculation is correct.

The swordsman surnamed Yi looked at Xiao Chuan, "Brother Yi is too, Brother Xian and I were indeed hired in Diaoyan."

Xiao Chuan then asked, "So did you know about our two employers, Fu Shuo and Ji Ji, and had you never hired them before?" ”

The swordsman surnamed Feng said, "Brother Xian and I have been hired by other masters together before, and I really don't know about the employer this time."

Hearing this, Xiao Chuan was even more worried, for the insurance period, Xiao Chuan still said, "We were hired by these two employers on this trip, along the way, Xiao Chuan always felt that there are many indescribable places, just now Brother Feng also mentioned, this place is so desolate, I don't know who they sell the goods to, I think it will be two days at most, if the team does not leave, I am ready to leave the caravan, I don't know how the two of you plan." ”

After hearing this, the man surnamed Feng asked the other person, "Brother Xian, what do you see?"

The man looked at Xiaochuan, thought about it again, and then replied, "Well, it's really strange, the gentleman doesn't set up a wall, if this trip is just passing through Yongcheng, we will continue to stay, if we don't leave, I think it's not good here, it's better to leave early."

The three of them made up their minds while chatting, and they only waited for two days to see the behavior of the caravan before deciding on their next step.

Late at night, Xiao Chuan was lying on the bed, and there was a sound of the other two in his ears, Xiao Chuan's heart became more and more aware of this trip, which was really very strange, especially the Yongcheng he was currently staying in, which made Xiao Chuan feel very strange, Qin was also regarded as a first-class power among the Warring States, but this Yongcheng is still the foundation of the Ying family, how can it be said that it has just been invaded by Rong Di, according to it, even if it is invaded by Rong Di, how can Qin let its ancestral temple and ancestral hall be dilapidated to this, Since I will send hundreds of workers to repair here, but looking at the situation on the street now, it seems that there is no meaning of repair, it is really a strange place, can it be said that the place where I came is not the Qin State, no, there has never been a record in history that before the unification of the Six Kingdoms of Qin, the former capital of the Qin State Yongcheng had fallen to the foot of other countries, and since the filial piety of the Duke there has never been a historical record that the Yongcheng of the Qin State was attacked by foreign countries, which is really strange! Weird!

Thinking of the conversation with the two swordsmen in the same room at night, Ogawa found that not only himself, but even this ancient swordsman, who had been employed by merchants all day, saw that there seemed to be something wrong here, and I am afraid that the doorway here is not as simple as he and others guessed, and perhaps he has inadvertently put himself in a terrible situation without knowing it, if so, then what are the intentions of these two people.

The rumbling thunder accompanied by lightning came unexpectedly, the heavy rain that began to fall in the middle of the night, the old rain of the Qin country had already come, listening to the deafening thunder, looking out the window pouring rain, the hidden danger in Xiaochuan's heart did not disappear after talking to Feng and Xian, but with the sound of thunder and lightning Lao Linyu, and more worried. During the night, Xiao Chuan thought about it in bed, and at dawn Xiao Chuan basically did not close his eyes all day. After tidying up a little, Ogawa went to eat in the morning.

After the morning food, Yongcheng at this moment is still raining lightly, and the employer Fu Shuo and the two people said, the first to speak is naturally the second boss of the beard, I saw him said to everyone, "This large number of goods we transported this time are sold to Yongcheng, in this way, today Brother Fu and I want to send this goods to the two buyers, and please give us the last favor, these sub-goods will be delivered, after returning to the inn, how about paying you tomorrow."

Naturally, everyone called it "No"

Although Xiao Chuan and the two people in the same room are a little puzzled about this, but seeing that the weather is still raining, but these two people are impatient to send things to the buyer, is it that they guessed wrongly, but who to change with these two people, Xiao Chuan thought again, in fact, if there is nothing to do with who to deliver to the buyer, it is okay, if there is something then it is not the best policy to go with whom, hey, forget it, I don't want to, where to go, think of this, Xiao Chuan casually and the team, because these two have already sent the ox cart they hired before, This is really a good calculation, the swordsman is both a bodyguard and a coolie, although everyone is not very happy, but thinking of the last trip, you can get back the reward after the end, because they also went to carry the goods that had been carried by the porter and the carriage one after another, and Xiao Chuan did not carry many things, because he always felt that things were not simple, Xiao Chuan knew that everything was more dangerous in the end, and he had to maintain his physical strength to deal with sudden events.
