Chapter 61: The Miscellaneous

"We are very strict in recruiting people with the wind!" Qin Lan did not squint and said, "So you just said that you want to reveal the reward, I think you can just join, by the way, let's see what the two of you are capable of." We had a dart game with a tailwind, and the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, and there was a small courtyard in the outer city of Gyeonggi Neishi. If you pass my assessment, you can be divided into a room for the two of you. ”

I have to say that Qin Lan's proposal is quite attractive. First of all, from a practical point of view, the two and a half Star Monarchs, among which there are melee attacks and sharp ranged attacks, this combination is very comprehensive, especially in areas such as mountains, which are suitable for small-scale operations. As long as you don't encounter the star envoy, you can at least get out of the way. The gap between the seventh, eighth, and ninth grade star monarchs is roughly equivalent to the difference between strong men, youth, and teenagers, and the understanding and use of star power are just at the entry stage.

"The town ahead is the destination of the caravan, right? Wu Xing said that he was quite optimistic about the three of them joining forces.

"It's probably not that simple. Outside the dart game, there are Xingjun who likes to walk alone, known as 'headhunters', and they are specialized in bounty business. Qin Lan knew some inside information, but on the contrary, she was not very optimistic: "We are actually robbing their business like this." ”

"You may not know what kind of race the 'headhunters' are. Bagen echoed Qin Lan and said, "I just need to tell you that the 'headhunters' are even active on the grasslands and snowfields, just to complete a single bounty!"

Sizzle!

Wu Xing gasped.

"Xingjun cultivation, the three indispensable auxiliary items are pills, materials and tattoos. Bagan said eloquently, "The best pill is naturally from the Great Rift Valley Baicaomen. However, the barbarians also possess several magical pills. The reason is not that the barbarians also know how to concoct pills, but because there are several materials that can only be cultivated under the unique climatic conditions of the bitter cold land in the north. The methods of barbarian medicine are extremely crude, and they are even commented by Baicaomen as 'tyrannical things'. Therefore, those headhunters who went deep into the snow field basically uncovered the bounty of Baicaomen. ”

Just as Bagen was speaking, Qin Lan glanced at Wu Xing, and then casually snorted at Bagen, meaning to ask, "What is the origin of this uncle who guides the country."

Wu Xing smiled bitterly and spread his hands, which means "hard to say".

The most amazing thing is that the two people inexplicably understand each other's "meaning".

"Eh, you two don't want to frown over there, okay?" Bagen muttered dissatisfiedly, and continued: "There are some unique materials in the bitter cold land of the north, such as the skull of the Snow Demon King, which is indispensable for making the jade pendant of the pattern. There is also the Yaochi Snow Lotus in the Tianshan Mountains in the extreme west, which is rated as the top ten medicinal materials in the 'Tiancai List' by Baicaomen. ”

In order to divert Bagen's attention, Wu Xing followed his train of thought and asked, "I just talked about pills and materials, so let's talk about the tattoo next, right?"

Qin Lan couldn't help but look at Bagen twice, and from Wu Xing's words that were equivalent to hints, she could tell that Wu Xing recognized Bagen's "qualifications" for commenting on these pills, materials, and tattoos. So, there should be any details that I have overlooked. Naturally, Qin Lan's gaze stayed on Bagen's inconspicuous bracer for a moment, and then showed a thoughtful expression.

"The West Wind Country, the Northern Zhao Kingdom, the Yanliao Kingdom, and the East China Sea Country are also known as the Four Northern Kingdoms, among which the East China Sea Country and the Northern Xinjiang are not bordered at all, and they are the second safest countries among the seven countries. In the south of the four northern kingdoms and the north of the Southern Chu Kingdom, there are two very unique countries, namely the Later Jin Kingdom and the Taishan Kingdom. The Later Jin Kingdom was formed by frequent marriages between several small states and had two counties. The territory of Taishan is even smaller, with only one county. ”

"The reason why the two countries of the Later Jin Kingdom and the Taishan Kingdom are unique is that they are firmly stuck at the north entrance of the flyover. That is to say, if you go north from the Southern Chu Kingdom, if you take the land route, you must pass through the overpass, and you must pass through one of the two countries of the Later Jin Kingdom and the Taishan Kingdom. ”

"The Later Jin Kingdom was between the West Wind Kingdom, the Northern Zhao Kingdom and the East China Sea Kingdom, struggling to survive. Taishan is different, she is the general name of 'Buqifang'. Back then, the Seven Kingdoms dismantled the instrument array from the Great Wall defense line and divided it, and it was only under the leadership of the first 'city order' of the 'Buqi Fang' that it was completed!"

Hearing this, Wu Xing couldn't help but ask, "What is the position of the city order?"

Bagan explains: "The concepts of fang and city all come from the old calendar. Fang, surrounded by a wall, with a cross street in the middle, each square opens a door on each side, and closes the door at night. The city is also walled on all sides, and the tic-tac-toe street is divided into nine parts, and shops are set up on the street in each city. To put it simply, the 'li' is a residential area, and the commercial and handicraft industries are limited to some regular openings and closings, which are called 'cities'. Therefore, the person in charge of managing the 'li' is called the 'li', and the official who manages the 'city' is called the 'city order'. ”

"And the origin of the name of this 'Buqifang' is said to come from an inscription of 'Gentleman Buqi' in the previous dynasty of the old calendar. The general meaning of the white text of "gentleman is not a weapon" is that you should not be confined to one skill, but should be "determined" in the "Tao", and understand the way of heaven from the world of all things. Because the Tao is inseparable, enlightenment is always in the instrument, and after enlightenment, it is still used in the instrument. ”

In the end, Bagan sighed: "Actually, all these places and customs I just talked about come from books, and my greatest wish is to go to these places and have a look." ”

"It's here!" Qin Lan could finally interrupt Bagen's words justifiably, pointed to the village and town in front of him, and said to Wu Xing: "You first find a tea shop to rest for a while, I will go to hand over this batch of goods, and I will go to you after settling the dart profits." ”

Seeing Qin Lan and the caravan and the exhausted bandits disappear around the corner of the street, Wu Xing realized that he had ridden back to the pack horse again, and couldn't help laughing: "I still can't get rid of you, little pack, little pack!"

"The way of the Star Monarch, you can't have too many selfish thoughts. Bagan turned his head and said solemnly: "If you still want to 'go north', it's best to restrain yourself." Now you don't have enough ability to protect others...... And yourself. ”

Of course, Wu Xing knew what "going north" meant, and he was silent for a moment before he spoke: "I know." ”

The two found a tea shop and sat for a while, and before the half pot of tea was finished, Qin Lan came over.

So, the three of them went to the county government together, planning to find the inspection to find out about the reward.

This small village and town is paved with slatted stones only in the center of the cross street, and the overall layout looks like a large lane, as regular as a chessboard. The county government is located at the intersection of the cross street, sits in the north and faces south, there are three gates, the lobby is five wide, the left and right hall pillars are embedded with a pair of wood, and the book is written in white text: "Deceive people if you deceive the sky, do not deceive yourself; ”

There is a warm pavilion in the lobby, there is a big gold-lettered plaque of "county main hall" on the wall, from the blank space vacated on the left side of the word "county" on the plaque, the new official has not yet taken office, and the plaque has not yet been inscribed; the three-foot law table is placed on the wooden high platform in the warm pavilion, the four treasures of the study room and the arrow barrel are placed on the table, and a Taishi chair is placed behind the table, and the left is the arrow stand, and the right has a black folding fan. Before the warm pavilion, two pieces of bluestone are paved on the left and right, the left is the plaintiff's seat, and the right is the defendant's seat.

There are meeting halls on both sides of the lobby, and there are two bungalows on the back side of the lobby, which are soap rooms. After that, it is not visible, leading from the cloister to the backyard, and idle people are not allowed to approach.

Such a county government is a microcosm of Ba County and Shu County. Everything may be just scratching, but the rules and regulations are still there.

After the official at the gate briefly identified the identities of the three people, he led them to one of the conference halls, which was the inspection office.

The seven countries of the Starfall Continent respectively made the county officials and county lieutenants in the official system of the previous dynasty as patrol inspectors, while the county orders were in charge of government affairs and people's livelihood.

In the conference hall, there is a Dharma table in the center, and there are two Taishi chairs, one large and one small, behind the table, and there is already a clerk sitting on the small Taishi chair, yawning boredly.

In front of the table, there are two log stumps that are used as stools, one of which is quite special and has a conspicuous inscription on the face that reads "Sit Only", while the other has the inscription "Do not smash" on the face. It seems to be used to warn Wuqu Xingjun not to spread wild here.

Around the chamber, there were seven or eight wooden billboards, which were painted with paste and plastered with dozens of bounties: some were just white papers, and they generally made public the things that the party issuing the bounty could not do, that was urgent to do, or that was not cost-effective for themselves, and spent money to ask others to solve them. Among them, there is naturally a wanted bounty about the bandits that Wu Xing and the other three are concerned about. Bounties are not only about directly looking for people who can solve bounties, but also about finding brokers who can solve bounties, or for example, those who provide clues can also be rewarded.

If you believe that you can solve the bounty, you will directly remove it from the notice board and hand it over to the scrivener for registration, usually agreeing on a time limit and the criteria for achieving the bounty, and if you can't complete it, the bounty will be posted on the notice board again.

"It's all a bounty of twenty or thirty taels of silver, and these thieves are too worthless, right?" Qin Lan might have had a little hope of earning some subsidies, after all, once the lecture started, the waisha might not have so much free time. After deducting some expenses of seventy-seven eighty-eight, she only got thirty taels of silver on the last trip, but it took her a month and a half to escort her from Longxi County.
