Chapter 154: Mondu

Li Yong, who was already tired and out of breath, was sitting under a big tree to rest, when he suddenly heard Wen Xun's voice, and he quickly got up from the ground again.

I touched the package on my body and replied honestly.

"These are useful things brought by subordinates."

Wen Xun saw him laughing dryly, but he became curious, and then ripped off one of the packages, he wanted to see what was useful.

I saw that after the package was opened, several things inside made his face change instantly.

Immediately afterward, he dragged down several other packages and opened them one by one...

There are teapots, cups, chopsticks, bowls, and even shovels for stir-frying, small benches for fishing, and so on.

Wen Xun almost thought that this guy had moved the whole family here.

How could he not know these things, or rather, he was very familiar with them.

These are all the living utensils of the place where Huo Qingxin lived before.

Wen Xun looked at it with some puzzlement, and the person who was still a little out of breath at the moment asked.

"What are you doing with all this stuff!"

The others just brought clean clothes, dry food and water to hurry, no wonder along the way, Li Yong was as tired as if he was carrying a mountain, and it was strange to take these things on the road, not to be tired.

Li Yong was a little naΓ―ve, scratched his head, and replied with a smile.

"I see, the master has always cherished these things very much on weekdays... This time we went to the north, and we didn't know when we would be back, so... ”

He knew that these things were all used by Huo Qingxin, so Wen Xun would cherish them extraordinarily, so he packed up all these things from that town overnight and brought them out.

Wen Xun didn't know what to say for a while, and looked at Li Yong's smirk, and his heart was a little touched.

After a while, he said to Li Yong.

"When we get to the town in front, put these things in a safe place, and when we come back, we will bring them back to Gusu."

"Master...

"I know your intentions, but there is still more than half the way to the north, how convenient are you to carry these things, if you encounter any accidents, what should you do!"

β€œγ€‚γ€‚γ€‚γ€‚β€ Li Yong was silent, Wen Xun was right, these things were carried on the road, it was a burden, and he couldn't use his fists.

He had to listen to Wen Xun's words, packed up his things, and planned to store his things there in the town in front of him.

In the next few days, the group hurried non-stop, and along the way, their whereabouts were very hidden, and later, they were all looking for a place to rest during the day, and hurried at night.

After half a month's journey, they were finally getting closer and closer to the north, and before entering the north, they were in an ancient town, and they happened to meet Ji Chen and the others who arrived earlier.

They were able to come here so smoothly, and it seems that they did not attract the attention of other sects.

They found two inns and lived separately, making sure that nothing went wrong.

In the evening, Ji Chen quietly sneaked to Wen Xun's place and discussed with him what to do next.

In the room, the candlesticks on the table were dancing with a faint light.

These days, they have been sleeping in the open air, and the further north they go, the worse the climate becomes.

Nowadays, the heat in Gusu is still unbearable, but this northern region is like early spring, and it is chilly at night.

After a few flickering moments as the flame on the candlestick flickered, there was suddenly one more person in the room.

Ji Chen had already avoided everyone and came to meet with Wen Xun.

Seeing him coming, Wen Xun asked directly.

"Is there anything unusual on the road these days?"

"The journey is quite smooth, we first converged with the people of Shushan, and then the troops came to the north in two ways, and the other team of men and horses, it is estimated that they will arrive in these two days."

"I have asked Li Yong to investigate around here during the day, except for a tribe called Mengdu and some forces, the others are scattered small households."

"Mondu?"

"That's right, it is said that this Mengdu has been living in the north and is dominant on one side, and then after Miao Dongan came, he wanted to annex Mengdu's subordinates, but was resisted by Mengdu, and then he brought his subordinates here."

"In this way, if we want to enter the north smoothly, we must first have the support of this man."

"Well, I heard that Meng Du is arrogant, good at fighting, and very jealous and hateful, as long as we reach an agreement with him, the chances of exterminating the demon clan will also increase."

"Yes, tomorrow I will bring some gold, silver and jewelry, and visit this leader in person, and you can take this opportunity to infiltrate their tribe and find out their truth."

"Good!"

After the two had agreed, they changed into the services worn by the locals early the next morning, and dressed up in a little disguise before going their separate ways.

This ancient town is less than a few dozen miles away from the north, and the folk customs are similar to those in the north.

Wen Xun and Ji Chen didn't have the heart to feel the folk customs here, they first came here as merchants to make silk sounds with the local people, and wanted to meet their leader.

When Namundu heard that there were outsiders who wanted to do business with them, he directly asked them to take them to his base camp.

Since coming to settle in this ancient town, Meng Du has naturally become the overlord here, and although the place where he lives is not very luxurious, it does not lose his status as a leader.

It just so happened that today was Mengdu's birthday, and his men were all in his big tent to celebrate his birthday.

When Wen Xun was led into the tent, there was singing and dancing, men eating meat and drinking, and beautiful women dancing around the campfire in the center.

As Wen Xun appeared, the men and women in the account all let out exclamations.

Although Wen Xun had disguised himself in advance, the clothes of the alien race, worn on his body, couldn't help but make him more handsome and extraordinary.

Even Meng Du, who was sitting on the upper seat, hugging left and right, and was very burly, was shocked by his appearance when he saw him come in.

Meng Du even praised directly, "Where did this beautiful man come from, he looks even better than that woman." ”

As soon as these words came out, the hall burst into laughter.

Wen Xun was not angry because of this, and bowed his head very politely.

"Mondu Commander"

Namengdu was already a little drunk, and asked in a good mood.

"Where are you?"

"Down, Jiangnan people."

"It turned out to be a southerner, no wonder she was born so girly, unlike us northern men, rough and bold!"

As the words fell, the tent began to cheer again.

Wen Xun didn't care and retorted.

"The regions of the north and the south are different, and the folk customs are different, so this person is naturally different.

When Meng Du heard this, he said impatiently.

"What is the water and soil to raise the other side, Lao Tzu hates dealing with you literati the most, you didn't say that you want to do silk business with us, but you can bring goods."

Although Meng Du was very disdainful of Wen Qin, and thought that he spoke in a crepe, he also respected his courage to come here from such a distant place.

At this time, Wen Xun made a gesture, and the entourage who came with him handed over the cloth that had been prepared in advance.

The silk of the south of the Yangtze River is famous all over the world, especially the embroidery of Suzhou, which is a must. These people from the north rarely see such a thing on weekdays.

So when the cloth appeared, both men and women stared at the cloth as if they were shining.

Meng Du saw the delicate silk that had been placed in front of his eyes, and touched it a little with love.

Before, when he heard that someone had come to report it, he was still suspicious, but now that he saw the real silk in front of him, he completely dispelled his doubts.

Meng Du was very happy and asked directly, "Say, how is this business going to be done." ”

Seeing him take the bait, Wen Xun was not in a hurry.

"I heard that today is the birthday of the commander of Mondu, and I am fortunate to beg for a glass of wine, so the cloth I brought today is regarded as a gift for the commander's birthday. . . ."

As he spoke, he asked his subordinates to hand over a box.

This time, it was he himself who sent it to Mengdu.

When the box was opened, it was full of gold and silver jewelry, which couldn't help but make Mengdu's eyes light up again.

"And these, small gifts, not respectful, I hope the commander will accept it."

There is no one in the world who does not love money, and besides, in this barren place, seeing so many treasures, Meng Du is naturally happy, and even the tone of his speech is a lot more polite.

"This son is a true friend, Lao Tzu likes it! During this time, Childe will live in my big tent, and I will discuss business with Childe in detail tomorrow. ”

"If you have this intention below, then you will have to disturb the commander for a few days."

"Good! Help this boy sit down... Alas? By the way, I don't know the name of the son, how to call it? ”

Meng Du was so happy that he forgot to ask his name.

After a brief silence, Wen Xun hugged his fists.

"Down, Xiao Wuchen!"

"It turned out to be Xiao Gongzi, sit down and drink and eat meat!"

Wen Xun was like this, and successfully lived in Mengdu's big tent, so that he and Ji Chen could naturally inquire about the news without attracting the attention of others.

After the banquet at noon, Mengdu asked people to greet Wen Xun and his staff with the specifications of VIPs.

Wen Xun was arranged in a relatively spacious camp, and the living conditions of the people in the north were indeed very unaccustomed to those of them who came from the south of the Yangtze River.

Not only in daily life, but also in food.

The people of the north eat a lot of cattle and sheep, and other meat, so they are all fat and strong.

This also made Ji Chen, who lived in, a little unacceptable, he didn't like to eat beef and mutton, and now he had to let him live in the cowshed, around the sheepshed...

Just thinking about it makes him uncomfortable!

In the afternoon, Mondu's men came to inform them that there would be a grand bonfire outside the tent in the evening, and that there would be not only singing and dancing performances, but also wrestling matches peculiar to their tribe.

Mondu specially explained that they must participate.

Wen Xun agreed, but Ji Chen fell into endless entanglements again, thinking that at the dinner party, it would be something like beef and mutton, and the green tendons on his forehead kept jumping...

I don't know what the bonfire will be like tonight...
