Section 29 Tidal City is not technically a city.

There are no walls and there are few permanent inhabitants. But it's bustling. Because he is the lord of the Jiyu Forest, the window for the Chapong family to conduct commercial trade with the outside world.

This group of families, who have been rooted in the forest for a long time, must need to exchange some essential necessities for life. And the storage zài of Tidal City better solves this problem.

At the same time, Tidal City is embedded in the middle of the northern part of the Nanban Empire, with the Jiyu Forest to the north, hills and plains to the south, and to the east. That is, it is an important rice-producing area in Nanban, and to the west, beyond several mountains, is Yima Pingchuan, the largest grassland in Nanban, Duner grassland.

Therefore, the city gradually became a key place and slowly prospered. Merchants, tourists, refugees, and all sorts of people must pass through this place, and they must stop here. Take a break and prepare for your future journey.

"Whoa, whoa—"

A loud rooster crow. The starlight slowly faded. In the distant sky, there is already a hint of fish belly white. The calm and serene sky slowly woke up and opened its eyes. The air settles overnight and is as fresh as a freshly sprouted rice seedling in a field.

Zhang Hao tried to take a breath of the early morning air, and then showed an intoxicated expression. Then he looked at Wu Ming, who was hurrying in front.

Both of them changed into plain peasant clothes. The clothes were taken yesterday by the soldiers of the Guards Battalion from a hunter's house on the edge of the forest.

Zhang Hao said softly: "My lord, are you still thinking about borrowing clothes yesterday?" ”

Wu Ming turned his head, looked at him and said, "Tell me, can their mother and son wait until their husbands return." ”

Zhang Hao lowered his head and thought about it, and said, "My lord, I guess it's impossible." Although the southern barbarians won a complete victory this time, the proportion of casualties was also very high. Her husband is just cannon fodder to be captured, and he is not an elite navy. I've killed several of those cannon fodder. ”

Wu Ming tightened the Chixiao in his hand and handed it from his left hand to his right hand.

Tao Yu returned it to Wu Ming again the day after Wu Ming returned. Looking at the shining eyes of the soldiers of the guards around him, Wu Ming felt that it was not the sword that was brought up again, but a heavy hope.

He lowered his head and muttered, "Cannon fodder, cannon fodder, this term is so familiar." ”

This is exactly the word that Cao Lie, the deputy governor of the Blue Wolf Army he killed last time, commented on the Eastern Han Southern Expeditionary Army. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, perhaps, in the eyes of these people in power, everyone is cannon fodder.

When Zhang Hao saw Wu Ming like this, he knew that his adults began to sigh again, and looked into the distance with his hands on the pergola, and then said loudly: "My lord, don't think nonsense, ahead, Tide City is about to arrive." ”

In fact, the two of them had seen it a long time ago, and this was just a means for Zhang Hao to divert Wu Ming's attention.

About three miles ahead, there are two large trees, and under the trees, there is an endless stream of pedestrians. Walk under the tree.

This is a good reference for the two. According to a rough estimate, it would take three to five people to join hands to enclose the two large trees.

The branches of the two big trees are deep and dense, and the branches stretch out, just forming a natural city gate, Wu Ming packed up his feelings, nodded, and said: "It's okay, let's go in early, listen to some news along the way, buy some necessities for life, and go back early to meet everyone." ”

Wu Ming wrapped Chi Xiao with the prepared cloak and wrapped it. Then wrap it on. After all, the sword was too ornate in appearance. In this way, it will not be too conspicuous.

The two of them disguised themselves as ordinary hunters who were rushing to the market, so naturally it was impossible for them to walk too fast, when the two of them walked under these two big trees. The sun was already on the horizon, red.

At this time, there are gradually more pedestrians on the road.

Zhang Hao suddenly pulled Wu Ming and said softly: "My lord, didn't you notice that there was anything wrong?" ”

Wu Mingzheng was walking in front with his head down, thinking about his own thoughts, and was stunned when he heard the other party say this. Turning his head: "What's wrong, what's wrong?" ”

Zhang Hao took two steps forward and said softly, "Didn't the adults notice?" Among the pedestrians entering the city, is the proportion of warriors a little more? ”

Hearing Zhang Hao say this, Wu Ming came back to his senses and carefully looked at the passers-by.

Martial artists, in this world, are not many. At the beginning, the prince led 200,000 southern expeditionary troops to the south, and among the 200,000 troops, in addition to about 700 soldiers of the Guards Battalion, some generals were warriors of more than three ranks. And the children of the family, the retinue of the leader, the domestic servants. Most of them are first-order or second-order martial artists.

These low-level martial artists are getting older, and they know that they have no hope of being promoted, so they have entered the family and can get by, while some high-level martial artists either hide in the deep mountains and old forests to cultivate, or they are big shots on the side of the megatron. Who's going to have nothing to do and mess around?

Moreover, in the Nanban, the proportion of warriors should be less. Otherwise, Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty would definitely ask Cangsong Pavilion to send a few masters above the seventh stage to protect the crown prince.

Of course, Wu Ming is an exception. At the beginning, everyone didn't know that he had reached the seventh stage, and it was a shocking late stage.

Wu Ming glanced at it roughly, and he was secretly surprised. As Zhang Hao said. Before and after, two groups of warriors with fierce faces had already entered the city. And many of them walk with a light walk and high temples. Obviously, there are still masters with a certain strength.

These men carried swords on their backs. In groups of three or five, to Wu Ming's surprise, there were still many Han warriors, and they were in the dust. It is estimated that it came from the south of the Eastern Han Dynasty. For a while, Wu Ming was also a little surprised.

At this time, under the entrance of this tree gate, in addition to pedestrians, there are many small vendors, some selling snacks, some selling gadgets, etc., everyone is piled up here, for a while, it seems a little crowded.

A dark and thin man, wearing a cool shirt and shorts unique to Nanban. He was standing in the middle of a large crowd of people, spitting and saying something. Dozens of people gathered around him, cheering loudly from time to time.

Although this man has dark skin, he has thick black hair. A pair of lips are also thin, and the bridge of the nose is high. Judging from the appearance, seven or eight points may be a Han person.

After all, Zhang Hao is not yet twenty years old, he has been drilling in the mountains for a long time, he has long been annoyed, seeing this scene, he immediately became happy, pulled Wu Ming, pointed to the large circle of people, and said with a smile on his face: "My lord, it seems to be very lively over there, if we go over and take a look, maybe we can find out something." ”

Wu Ming looked at the somewhat crowded tree gate and nodded: "It's okay to go and have a look." We'll go back in later. ”

The two followed the flow of people and squeezed outside the circle of people. Zhang Hao struggled in front and tore a gap from the crowd. The crowd of onlookers glared angrily. But as soon as he saw Wu Ming following Zhang Hao, he suddenly became impotent.

After all, the Southern Barbarians were generally shorter. Compared with Wu Ming's height, he became a dwarf. Plus the two of them dressed as hunters. Orion who survives in the mountains, who doesn't have two brushes?

I can only admit it.

The black and thin man was talking about the wonderful things at this time, and everyone was also attracted by the wonderful story. The scene can be heard. Except for Wu Ming's master and servant, who squeezed into the crowd and there was a little commotion, the rest of the place was extremely quiet, and for a while, it formed a strong contrast with the noise in other places.

I saw that the man's palms struck each other, and there was a "snap", making a crisp sound, and then coughed and said, "Everyone, do you know what the first thing this Fengxiang Master Li Mopa did after he arrived at the Grandmaster more than ten years ago?" That is to propose to his master, that is, the master of Cangsong Pavilion Wine. ”

Speaking of this, he seemed to be surprised by the news he threw out, and continued to shake his head and say: "This Master Li Mopa is really a heroine among women, dare to love and hate. It's really impressive. ”

The onlookers stopped working, and a ** voice shouted: "Don't hang our appetite, go on, how about it, did the wine master agree?" ”

The man picked up a gourd from the ground, took a sip of it, and then said: "Master Wine is a master of a generation, and Master Li Mopa only has a master-apprentice relationship, so naturally it is impossible to agree to her. ”

Everyone suddenly let out a voice of disappointment, and someone asked, "In that case, Master Li Mopa is because of love and hatred, so he avoids us in Nanban." Have you become the protector of our dynasty? ”

The man smiled: "Is this?" Naturally, there is still truth in it, and I have to analyze it tomorrow. Ladies and gentlemen, that's all for today, and if you think it's good, you can be rewarded with a few small dollars, and I can tell you this secret in advance today. ”

When Wu Ming heard this, his brows furrowed, vaguely, as if he had grasped something, and suddenly, he thought of a possibility, and couldn't help but shudder.

Now the sun has risen high, but it can't withstand the cold. He shuddered.
