Riding a brown bantam horse, Xiao Tianlei walked slowly down the avenue.

Although the appearance of the bantam horse is a little cold, short and ugly, however, due to the advantages of docile temperament, good endurance, easy to feed, and more weight, it has naturally become a common horse among the people.

The bantam horse that Xiao Tianlei rode originally belonged to the masked robbers who tried to rob Zhengjiazhuang, and after those robbers died, they naturally became the trophies of Xiao Tianlei and others. After getting these horses, Xiao Tianlei learned to ride for a while, but the time is too short, and he is still not very good at controlling, and the horses under the buttocks often run off, and when he encounters some more difficult roads, it is safer to get off the horse and lead the horse.

Xiao Tianlei was not in a hurry, he was in a hurry, and he was moving forward in a leisurely manner, the warm spring sun made him a little lazy, walking and stopping all the way, seeing some strange things, and stopping to watch. Previously, Xiao Tianlei had been busy working in Wild Boar Ridge for more than two months, building secret docks, transporting personnel, reclaiming land, planting purple coriander, building housing, making cigarette drying rooms, etc., one by one, so that Xiao Tianlei struggled with his brains, and many of them had to go into battle in person, so busy that his feet did not touch the ground. Finally, everything in Wild Boar Ridge was on track, and Xiao Tianlei came out. However, even if he is far away from Boar Ridge, he can still contact Xiao Tianfu at any time through the private chat system of the hero template, and from time to time, Xiao Tianfu will ask how to deal with some things.

Xiao Tianlei didn't come out this time for fun, the specific purpose, in the words of his previous life, was to do a market research, to be specific, to find a safe sales channel for cigarettes, before, the bad things in the candy business have proved that Xiao Tianlei's idea is right, with his own identity and status, he can't do business in this world, he can only go sideways.

As for how to sell cigarettes, Xiao Tianlei already had a rough idea, but he still had a field investigation.

The direction of the road taken by Xiao Tianlei is the capital of Lingzhou - Lingzhou City, and Xiao Tianlei is accompanied by Zheng Biao, Jiang Kui, and Ma Hu, all three of whom have inspired Gang Qi, Zheng Biao Needless to say, Jiang Kui and Ma Hu are the two best martial arts among Xiao Tianlei's Shanyue cousins, and they have followed Xiao Tianlei since childhood.

The fourth brother boy knew that he was not old just by looking at his appearance, and when he saw it, he was a chick who went out for the first time, and he was soon targeted by some thieves, liars, ruffians and other characters.

Before going out, Zheng Biao's father chattered for a long time, what rivers and lakes are sinister, everything has an extra heart, and so on. Xiao Tianlei is not good at speculating on people's hearts, and he doesn't understand the ways of those flies and dogs, but he has the Infinite Sword Saint template, a 360-degree three-dimensional perspective, which can allow him to see some things clearly and clearly like a bystander.

In a small shop, Xiao Tianlei was eating with four people, and as soon as the meal was served, a lean man stepped forward.

"Four little brothers, where did you come from? Make a friend, all brothers in the four seas, in the next ......"

The lean man was smiling and enthusiastic, and he was about to sit down. As soon as Xiao Tianlei and the four of them looked at it, they knew that this was probably a liar who ate and drank, and encountered this kind of goods more than once along the way.

"Who TM is a brother with you, get out of here!" Zheng Biao's temper was the hottest, the corners of his mouth were raised, his eyebrows were horizontal, and without saying a word, he just slapped him hard, causing the thin man to fall to the ground.

The development of things is beyond the expectations of the lean man, as usual, some young people who have just stepped into the rivers and lakes like to make some friends, these four boys are so horizontal, what is the way to come? ! The lean man got up, gave the four of them a hard look, covered his face and left.

After eating for a while, the lean man from before led seven or eight men over, holding sticks, all with fierce faces, and the people around them saw it, and they all turned their eyes to the side, as if they hadn't seen anything, and secretly watched the excitement.

Xiao Tianlei just raised his eyes and glanced at it, but he didn't care, and ate by himself. This group of people pretended to be fierce, but in fact, they were strong on the outside and hard at all, and they didn't have any real skills at all, they just relied on the large number of people to bully some weak and cowardly, and Xiao Tianlei didn't bother to do it.

Zheng Biao asked in a low voice: "Brother Lei?" ”

Xiao Tianlei just nodded, and Zheng Biao and the three of them all showed a wicked smile.

"They beat me!" Lean man testified.

"Boy, where did you come from? Do you know the rules, when you get to the uncle's land, the person who beats the uncle, what do you say? The man at the head said as he tapped the table with the stick in his hand.

"Easy to do!" Zheng Biao snorted, picked up the bench under his buttocks, and smashed it down with his head and face, Jiang Kui and Ma Hu were the same, the three benches flew over, only to hear a scream, those men and the lean men were knocked to the ground, and in a few clicks, one by one broke the blood flow, and the bones were probably broken, all of them lay on the ground and groaned.

This is not the end, Zheng Biao, Jiang Kui, and Ma Hu searched for the money on several people, and then sat down and continued to eat, and after eating, they settled the account with the money they collected.

The four of them left the shop, and there was a burst of discussion behind them.

When you encounter this kind of miscellaneous skin, you have to be a little horizontal and clean up fiercely, which is also to deter some other bad guys. You know, bullying outsiders is a very common thing, once they think you are weak and can be bullied, when the time comes, all kinds of characters will work together to use various means to pit you to the bottom, and finally be sent to the black kiln as a mining slave.

Of course, these are just some of the things that can't be put on the table, as long as the fists are hard enough and careful, it's fine. In addition, as long as you don't take the initiative to provoke right and wrong, there will basically be no problem.

is those real characters in the rivers and lakes, if there is no stake, they will not have nothing to do.

Of course, once there is the drive of financial interests, it will be different, such as those masked robbers, and afterwards, Zheng Baihu also recognized the identities of several of them, and they were all characters with heads and faces on the surface.

Most of the things that can't see the light are carried out at night or in the dark, and walking along the road in broad daylight can basically ensure safety, provided that you don't look like a big fat sheep.

Xiao Tianlei and his entourage, except for some minor troubles along the way, basically went well, and after a few days of trekking, the four of them finally arrived at the plain where Lingzhou City is located. This is the richest area in Lingzhou, you can see a piece of farmland on both sides of the road, the seeds have germinated, a piece of emerald green, many farmers are busy in the field, you can see a big city in the distance, entrenched on the earth, the city wall is towering, stretching for several miles, the crocodile river is like a jade jade belt, passing around the city of Lingzhou, the crocodile river is a little sail shadow, large and small boats come and go, a large wharf is on the side of the crocodile river, the moored ships, only a cursory look at the hundreds of ships, the mast is scattered, During this period, many porters were busy loading and unloading goods, like columns of ants.

There are some soldiers at the gate of the city, and they have to pay some entrance fees before they can enter.

After entering Lingzhou City, Xiao Tianlei casually asked someone and went to the guild in the city.

At the beginning, the guild was a group of warriors who got together to do some things like bodyguards, and gradually developed into an institution recognized by the government. The guild's business was varied, including escorting goods, guarding homes, delivering letters, keeping goods, exchanging money, and brokering...... Even when lodging was provided, each guild did not exist independently, and the guilds cooperated with each other, thus forming a network that provided great convenience. It is said that those big guilds are more powerful than those big sects, and they will also take over some official business, and the credibility of the guilds is also trustworthy.

The local guild in Lingzhou, called the Lingwu Guild, Xiao Tianlei came to the Lingwu Guild, only to see all kinds of people coming in and out, most of them were martial artists, and there were even some samurai.

The samurai were warriors who passed the military test of the government, and the samurai had some privileges, but nowadays, the imperial court uses civil power to control the military, and the status of the samurai is much worse than before, and many samurai have difficulty making ends meet, and they also go to the guild to take some things to do.

The business that Xiao Tianlei wants to handle is to take a boat, he is going to go to Yazhou by sea, but those sea ships will not easily carry outsiders, if you rashly ask people, it will definitely not work, you can only ask the guild to help contact.

Inside the guild is a small lattice-like room, with a desk in it, and a person sitting behind it, who should be the person in charge of handling business, which makes Xiao Tianlei recall the bank in his previous life.

The efficiency of the guild is not low, find a no-one cubicle, explain the intention, pay some basic fees, the person asked Xiao Tianlei to wait for the news, and said that it may take a few days, Xiao Tianlei simply stayed in the inn opened by the Lingwu Guild.

Waiting time, Xiao Tianlei was not idle, this was the first time he saw a large city in this world, and he was inevitably a little curious, shopping with Zheng Biao, Jiang Kui, and Ma Hu.

As the capital, Lingzhou City is naturally quite lively, the streets are bustling, there are many shops, grain stores, medical halls, pharmacies, garment shops, carpenter shops, stonemason shops, leathersmith shops, blacksmith shops, grocery stores, warehouses, restaurants, green buildings, gambling houses...... There are all kinds of vendors on the street, compared to those small towns, the security of Lingzhou City is much better, at least, the four boys are walking around, and they haven't met those ruffians and hooligans.

From time to time, you can see some scholars, in groups of three or five, there is a Yuzhu Academy in the northwest of Lingzhou City, which was established by some exiled officials in Lingzhou, and Lingzhou City is also the gathering place of those exiled officials, and many exiled officials have settled in this place.

The more famous places in Lingzhou City include Zhennan General's Mansion, Pudu Temple, Qingyun Temple, etc., however, Xiao Tianlei was not very interested, and his party went to the dock. Halfway down the road, I saw a luxurious car driving by, hugging in front and back, following the slaves on both sides, and soldiers with weapons in front and behind, I heard that it was the car driver of Pingnanbo's mansion.

Speaking of Ping Nanbo, Xiao Tianlei heard his grandfather Jiang Wu Doctor mention it a few times, Ping Nanbo's ancestors were originally Shanyue people, but in the war between Shanyue people and Daxia, Ping Nanbo's ancestors became traitors, which led to the defeat of Shanyue people, and Daxia completely pacified Lingzhou, and Ping Nanbo's ancestors were therefore awarded the title of "Pingnanbo".

When I got to the pier, I got a closer look at the ships, they were all sailboats, the longest of which was twenty or thirty meters. I saw many porters carrying goods, many of whom were Shanyue people, carrying bags of heavy goods back and forth, all with dark skin, and the air seemed to have the salty smell of sweat.

The work of the porters is hard, but it is good to have a job, and there are many porters on the dock waiting in line for work, and there are some young people, obviously newcomers. Xiao Tianlei was about to leave, only to see some men carrying knives, shouting and walking by, these are all gang members on the dock, the gangs often fight with each other in order to compete for business territory, and it is nothing to die a few people occasionally.

After observing for a while, Xiao Tianlei felt more and more that it was very wise to find a guild to match, and if he came by himself, he would not be able to find a way at all.

After wandering around the city again, the four returned to the guild's lodgings, and not long after entering, someone came to inform them that they had found a suitable ship and would set sail the next day.
