Lin Xin also had a slight impression of the kind-hearted little Zhengtai, who was only eight or nine years old, so he smiled at him.

"There are almost one hundred and thirty-seven taels of goods here, and if you erase the odds, you will be counted as one hundred and thirteen."

"Well, I'll give you this jade pendant, this is what my father bought in Yujing Wanbao Pavilion, it may not be enough."

Xiao Zhengtai took off the jade pendant on his waist and handed it to Lin Xin.

"And then there's some broken silver here, and it's no problem to add it."

He took out some broken silver from his waist bag and handed it to Lin Xin.

Paying the money with one hand and delivering the goods with the other, Lin Xin gave the other party the herbs picked casually on the road, got a little broken silver and a jade pendant, got up and closed the stall, found a noodle restaurant and ordered a bowl of noodles.

It's a pity that her physical fitness is too high, and worldly food can only satisfy her appetite, but it can't make her really full, so she can only say that talking is better than nothing.

Everything is ready to go. She went to the carriage shop again to inquire about the situation.

It turns out that this place has reached the edge of the jurisdiction of the Great Qian, and further north, it is Yunmeng, and the outside is also a place where horse thieves are rampant outside the country that is taboo and feared by ordinary people.

However, there is a fixed passage outside the country that has long been thoroughly developed by the family. It can be used by merchants to pay a fee to pass, and these channels are managed and standardized

。 It's called a dark tunnel.

The dark passage is the only narrow passage through which the Great Qianyun and Mengmeng communicate, and the rest is the battlefield where the Great Qian's and Yunmeng are fighting, stretching for thousands of miles.

The soldiers of the two countries killed every time they met, cut off their ears as their own combat exploits, and there were all kinds of horse thieves and robbers who could haunt them. Difficult and dangerous, although much safer than the frontal battlefield. But it is also difficult.

Therefore, even if it is a secret passage, it is impossible to be absolutely safe, but it is much better than other places.

Many masters of the Great Cadre factions also patrolled and stationed here all year round, and there were often casualties.

Lin Xin didn't have a specific place to go, but Da Qian almost turned around, and he was still a little curious about the people of Huawai and the grassland empire outside Da Qian.

At this time, I found that I had actually arrived at the border of Daqian. She also had the idea of going abroad.

Going to Yunmeng and seeing the scenes of different places is not a trip to this world in vain.

Ordinary people want to cross the dark passage, it's not impossible. It's just that the only way is to follow the large army, and you need to pay the tolls, and even live and die on the road.

I heard that the secret path was originally created by those big families in order to smuggle goods on both sides of the Great Qianyun Meng, and with the evolution of time, it has become what it is now.

After some selection, Lin Xin also found a team of more than 20 people, joined the team of refugees who followed and set off.

……

The sky was cloudless, and on the vast green plains, hundreds of horses were sparsely populated, and from time to time there were lone wolf-like beasts in between, constantly wandering outside the herd, watching for the opportunity.

Beneath one of the huge mushroom clouds, a small procession moved slowly, looking down from above, like a thin white line the size of a hair, slowly moving across the green plains.

There were dozens of people in front of the procession, as well as a few metal carriages painted with green paint, followed by a large group of ordinary people in poor clothes, these people were different from the dozens of people in front, most of them were yellow and thin, or their faces were sad, or their eyes were gloomy.

"It's also a big problem that these people are following behind every time."

In the front of the group, several leaders of the team were talking in the wheeled car.

A thin, shrewd-looking businessman stared at a yellow horse pulling a cart in front of him and said casually.

"What's the trouble, once you encounter wolves and Hu soldiers, these people are the most suitable shield around the side, and we charge a little money each, and we don't care about their food and accommodation, what's so bad?"

"I know, but it doesn't feel like a thing, it's like a drag."

"It's good to get used to it, this road will take at least a few months, and most of these guys can't stay in Daqian, so they have to pay the money and go down the dark road. Life and death have long been put out of their minds. ”

The lean merchant was unimpressed.

"Isn't that more dangerous? This is an outlaw! ”

Another fat old man is colorful.

"Don't worry, the Zheng Yi Chang I invited is not just for seeing."

The lean merchant said casually.

"Yes, there is a long way, but there is no problem."

The rest of the businessmen were also a little relieved.

"Daddy."

Suddenly, a little Zhengtai, about eight or nine years old, dressed in blue and gold-rimmed clothes, ran up from the side of the cart.

Although he is still young, he can already see many similarities with lean businessmen on his face.

Shota was tired and jumped into the carriage.

"How long is it until the next resting point, Dad, Po is a little tired...."

The lean merchant's face quickly softened, revealing a kind smile.

"It's going to be soon, it's going to be right away."

The rest of the businessmen all looked at the father and son with smiles on their faces.
