Chapter 524: The Legend of Hanhai
"It's time to eat, it's time to eat!"
A guy shouted a few times around the bonfire, and Boss Pang and the rest of the guys hurriedly gathered around the fire.
At this time, it was already evening, the guys of the caravan stopped and sat around the fire with Boss Pang to nibble on dry food, while the brothers and sisters of the Yan family sat on a big car and looked around vigilantly.
Xu Rui happened to walk between the two groups, first took two steps towards the Yan family brothers and sisters, but after thinking about it, he turned his head and walked towards Boss Pang and his group.
"Oh, Brother Xu is here, I'm about to call you, come on, sit here."
Seeing Xu Rui coming, Boss Pang and Qi Hong hurriedly and warmly beckoned him to sit down, and handed him two large dry cakes and a small pot of water by the way.
"I have enough to eat, but there is not much water, this is the amount you and your wife will have tonight, save a little, don't be too little, it's not easy to go out."
Boss Pang's words are bold and sincere, and people can't help but want to get close.
"Where, thank you Boss Pang for your generosity, and I will thank you when I get to Tianqi Pass!"
Xu Rui took the dry cake and water, and thanked him a thousand times.
Seeing Xu Rui's politeness, Boss Pang seemed to be very satisfied, glanced at Qi Hong, and said with a smile: "Brother Xu, why don't you come to eat together?" ”
Xu Rui said with a smile: "I've been at home, and it's the first time I've been out of the door so far, and I'm a little frightened, and I'm afraid of life." ”
Boss Pang smiled even more: "It's all the same, my mother-in-law doesn't want to follow me out to live a hard life, don't worry about him, we men eat first and eat enough to have the strength to deal with my mother-in-law, right?" Hahaha. ”
His words are like a beginning, mentioning his mother-in-law and aunt, all the guys seem to have opened the chatterbox, you talk about the interesting things in life one by one, they are all people who go out to beg for a living, saying that they don't want to go home It is false, but they are separated from each other for their livelihood, and they can only miss the person who is waiting at home in this way.
Xu Rui followed everyone to gag, from time to time to tell a few interesting things in Changxing City, he was already well-informed, eloquent and excellent, and the already interesting anecdotes were even more humorous when he said it, which made everyone laugh, and the kung fu of just one meal pulled into the distance with everyone.
Maybe it was Xu Rui's gag that made everyone interested, and when they finished eating the dry food, everyone did not disperse early as usual, but around the fire, gently humming the songs of their hometown in the west slanting sun.
The guys come from all over the world, the folk customs are different in different places, and the songs are very different.
Estimating that the heat was about the same, Xu Rui pretended to be casual and asked, "Boss Pang, ask a question that shouldn't be asked, isn't this 800-mile Hanhai Gobi a famous Jedi?"
There is business everywhere in the world, coal and iron in the northeast, cattle and sheep in the northwest, horses and timber in the west Liang, silk in the south, there is business everywhere in the world, why did you come here? ”
Boss Pang and Qi Hong glanced at each other and said with a smile: "Brother Xu, you are not very familiar with this northwest, right?" ”
Xu Rui nodded: "For the first half of my life, I ate in the yamen and waited for death, and when I came out of Changxing, my eyes were black." ”
When everyone heard this, they burst into laughter.
Qi Hong couldn't help but say: "In the past, the eight hundred miles of Hanhai Gobi was indeed a dead land, but now it is not only a dead land, but also a place of abundant wealth!" ”
"Oh?"
Xu Rui was stunned: "I don't know if there is anything else to say about this?" ”
Qi Hong said proudly: "Of course, there is a saying, originally the eight hundred miles of Hanhai Gobi people and animals did not live, and they were so poor that they clanged, except for those eighteen-way horse bandits who were chased half-dead by the officials and soldiers, and hid here to survive, even rats were unwilling to come."
But since two years ago, there was a legend of Hanhai here, everything is different, not only the caravan that came here to pan for gold and make a fortune is endless, even countless heroes are scrambling, I think there will be a few more years, the trade route here is the most profitable trade route in the world! ”
"What, that's the case?"
Xu Rui was surprised: "What kind of character is this Hanhai legend, who can change the entire world by himself?" ”
"It's not wrong for you to say that you will change the world."
Boss Pang took over the conversation with a smile and said: "This Hanhai legend is known as the ghost-faced demon god, very mysterious, less than ten fingers have seen him, about two years ago, this person was born out of thin air, and as soon as he made a move, he subdued the eighteen horse bandits and became the master of the eighteen-mile Hanhai.
After that, he led the horse bandits, built a New Territories city on the abandoned stone fortress, and promulgated sixteen rules, and it took the eight hundred miles of Hanhai to give birth to order from the original chaotic land. ”
"The horse bandits are greedy and easy to kill, and it is really a great achievement to be able to subdue all kinds of horse bandits on their own, but even so, they can't turn this place of execution into a place of wealth?"
Xu Rui rubbed his chin and asked puzzledly.
Qi Hong said: "Don't understand, right? Don't say it's you, the horse bandits in the entire Hanhai were puzzled at that time, and even made several mutinies because of this, but they were all suppressed by this ghost-faced demon god with thunderous means.
In order to appease those restless subordinates who licked blood with knife heads, he threatened to hide a treasure in the 800 miles of Hanhai, and he was willing to lead all the horse bandits to find it.
Everyone thought it was just his whimsical nonsense, but they didn't expect that half a year later, he really dug up the treasure, and a group of horse bandits who were struggling to survive made a fortune in an instant! ”
"Is this true?"
Xu Rui looked surprised.
Boss Pang nodded: "Naturally true, it is said that there are many treasures, not only gold, silver and jewelry, but also countless unnamed, but strange treasures, as well as a large number of martial arts cheats."
It is said that there was once a third-rate martial artist because he helped the ghost-faced demon god a little favor, and was given a secret book by him, overnight, this warrior crossed two levels, stepped into the first-class, and defeated the famous six masters on the rivers and lakes in a battle, and since then those heroes have wanted to try their luck here.
However, martial arts cheats have always been treasures, and most of the heroes are brave and ruthless, but they are very shy in their pockets, and they can't afford to buy them, so they can only use their own knives to grab them.
It's a pity that who is the Devil-Faced Demon God?
The trick of snatching didn't work in front of him at all, and those who had bad ideas were defeated by him one by one, and in the end, no one came out alive! ”
Speaking of this, a trace of excitement flashed on Qi Hong's face, and he said again: "It is not uncommon in the rivers and lakes to set off a bloody storm for a high-quality martial arts cheats, and there are always people who hold their own martial arts and do not believe in this evil."
In the Northwest generation, the name is extremely loud, and Zhang Chong, the Holy King of Xiaoling, is one of them.
This person is not only a personal disciple of one of the six great martial saints, Xiliang Jiuling Spear Saint, his strength has reached the top masters, and he has never been defeated since he left the school, no matter who he fights with, and more importantly, he has a close relationship with Lord Liulong in the northwest of the Great Wei Dynasty, and has a great influence in the northwest.
When he heard that there was a peerless technique in Hanhai, he immediately brought people and horses and killed them to the New Territories City to ask for it, but he didn't expect to meet the Ghost-faced Demon God, and he was killed by the Ghost-faced Demon God before he could use any tricks.
At that time, it happened that Uliji Khan in the northern steppe was moving south, and Lord Longtu was losing and retreating, and he was anxious, how could he care about such a thing?
So the Devil-Faced Demon God became famous, and no one dared to make a mistake. ”
After listening to the description of the two singing and harmonizing, Xu Rui really wondered in his heart, he had seen the disciples of the Martial Saint, not to mention that they were all earth-shattering ghosts and gods, but the strength was definitely not bad, and it was really terrifying to be killed by someone with one move, not to mention that there were companions around.
Also, there are countless treasures that suddenly appear within these eight hundred miles of Hanhai, and there are many types, which is even more strange, could it have anything to do with the Yin Ji that appeared before?
And the most important thing is that this ghost-faced demon god has appeared for more than two years, and he has made such a big disturbance in the northwest, but there seems to be no wind in the court, which is also unreasonable, it is impossible for those Jinyi guards and Dongchang fans who have dog noses to sniff everywhere suddenly blind and deaf, right?
Xu Rui instinctively felt that there must be some kind of internal connection between all these seemingly unreasonable things, maybe it could be a conspiracy brewing, or an unknown secret.
After a little hesitation, Xu Rui asked again: "Boss Pang, you are neither a horse bandit nor a hero, why did you come here again?" ”
Boss Pang seemed to know that he would ask this question, and said with a smile: "You won't do business at first glance, do the horse bandits want to continue to hunt for treasure when they taste the sweetness?" ”
Xu Rui nodded.
Boss Pang said again: "Horse bandits are also people, they also have to eat, drink and enjoy, they have found a treasure and made a fortune, they will inevitably have to spend money, but they can't leave the eight hundred miles of Hanhai."
So we merchants had to bring food, wine, silk, tea, and women to the New Territories City for them to splurge.
I heard that there is a Tianbao Pavilion in Changxing City, which contains countless treasures, and for the Hanhai Gobi, which is short of materials, the carriage of our merchants is the Tianbao Pavilion.
Businessmen seek wealth, horse bandits seek happiness, isn't this just a hit-off? It is those of us who have risked their lives to truly achieve the prosperity of the New Territories City, and this trade route to make a fortune! ”
When Xu Rui heard this, he suddenly realized, isn't this the western gold rush in the United States back then?
Unexpectedly, a legend was also being staged on this barren 800-mile Hanhai Gobi, but the attraction of the American West was gold back then, and what was the treasure of the 800-mile Hanhai Gobi?
"Hey, that sissy!"
Just as he was thinking about it, a woman's coquettish voice suddenly sounded in the distance.
As soon as Xu Rui looked up, he saw Yan Siqi standing a few feet away, glaring at him.
Xu Rui was stunned for a moment, pointed to his nose and said, "Are you calling me?" ”
Yan Siqi snorted coldly: "Who else but you?" ”
Xu Rui didn't know why she was suddenly so angry with herself, she couldn't help but be stunned for a while, and hurriedly confessed to Boss Pang and Qi Hong, stood up and patted her ass and walked towards Yan Siqi.
Boss Pang waved his hand at Xu Rui with a smile on the surface to indicate that it was okay, but as soon as Xu Rui left, his face instantly became gloomy, and he said to Qi Hong beside him: "Why don't you do it?" ”
Qi Hong said: "Everything is ready, who knew that Nizi would intervene halfway?" ”
Boss Pang said: "I see that kid already trusts us very much, the heat is almost over, and he will do it at night!" ”
Qi Hong nodded, and suddenly looked at Princess Qixia in the corner, and a trace of lustful heat flashed on her face.
