Chapter 31: Vicissitudes

Canglan City used to be a barren town, it is located in the north of the northern country, the geographical location is extremely poor, the climate is cold, the land is barren, crops are difficult to grow, there is no large forest around, hunting is also very difficult, can only rely on captive livestock to meet food needs, but livestock feed is a problem, so Canglan City was really poor and poor.

It's not that the imperial court is unwilling to help it, but Canglan City is a bottomless pit, no matter how many resources and help the imperial court gives, it will never be satisfied, and it will always be in a state of "hunger and thirst", because it can't be self-sufficient at all.

Later, rebels appeared in Canglan City, perhaps forced by hunger, Canglan City accumulated wealth by plundering, but this wealth was only in the hands of a few.

The imperial court sent people to suppress the rebellion, and after it was finally quelled, within a few years, the people of Canglan City would start to make trouble again, and the imperial court suppressed it again.

After that, a rumor spread from Canglan City.

The inhabitants of Canglan City say that they have a true king, the Chosen One.

This rumor has been rumored for a long time, but the rumor has gradually subsided over time, and the people in the northern country only know that the crown prince Ye Futian led the army to Canglan City once, maybe the prince quelled the rumor.

The position of the city lord of Canglan City has been shelved for a long time, and the guards of Canglan City have all been replaced by people from the imperial court, after all, this is the most restless town in the northern country, and there have been dozens of large and small rebellions in the past twenty years.

"Wang ...... We're passing through Canglan City. On the carriage, Quiton said to the king.

"Hmm." The king answered.

They were on their way back to Snowy City, the only way for Snowy City to travel to other towns, and they had already been to Canglan City once when they were on their way to the Throne Ceremony, which was his hometown and the place where the king belonged.

It's just that now Canglan City has become different, in Wang's memory, although Canglan City is poor and hard, the residents are full of vitality, and heroic character is the characteristic of everyone, and now Canglan City is much richer, but it is a dead air.

"Don't worry, Quiton, I'll get it back...... But not now. Wang said that Wang was in control of Snow City, and he still needed some time to stabilize his power, and he couldn't rush it.

“…… I understand. Quitton nodded.

Quitton took another look at his hometown, hoping to reclaim it the next time he came here.

……

Most of Canglan City's resources need to be purchased, so large chambers of commerce often send caravans to Canglan City.

A long line of carriages had stopped at the gate of Canglan City.

This is a chamber of commerce called "Xiangyun".

"Where are you from the Chamber of Commerce?" The guard asked.

"Fallen Leaf City." Ye Lingyun's current identity is the chauffeur of the "Xiangyun" Chamber of Commerce.

"Does the Northern State have this city?" The guard was a little puzzled, he reached out and touched the carriage, these are made of fine wood, then this chamber of commerce should be very rich, the rich chamber of commerce should be very famous, but the name "Xiangyun" is the first time the guard has heard it.

"It's just a small place in the southwest, and it's normal that you haven't heard of it." Ye Lingyun explained.

"Oh, Southwest." There was more sympathy in the guard's eyes.

The north and the west have always been unfriendly, and the southwest of the north is the border between the north and the west, and the living environment there is extremely poor.

"Can a chamber of commerce be built in the southwest?" The guard asked, who would open a chamber of commerce in a place like that where war was raging? That's just a brain break.

"My lord doesn't know, the war in the southwest has stopped, in order to make the southwest prosperous quickly and get out of the impact of the war, the imperial court deliberately spent a lot of money to invest in a chamber of commerce in the southwest, and we have documents from the imperial court." Ye Lingyun said.

"I see, show me the so-called document, and if it's okay, you can go into the city." The guards were still suspicious.

"Okay." Ye Lingyun took out a piece of parchment and handed it to the guard.

There are a lot of contents on the parchment, probably all kinds of regulations and agreements, this guard is naturally incomprehensible, the only thing he can understand is the big red mark in the lower right corner of the parchment, the three words "Northern Emperor's Decree", which is the seal of the emperor's heirloom jade seal.

"It's really a chamber of commerce run by the imperial court!" The guard said in surprise.

"Then can we enter Canglan City now?" Ye Lingyun said.

“…… Of course. "The guards opened the door and let them go.

Ye Lingyun has the support of the "Xiangyun" organization behind him, money and strength are not a problem, the difficulty is just this small pass, but Ye Lingyun is a man who has slept in the Golden Dragon Palace, the emperor's jade seal has a row on the shelf next to the dragon chair, Ye Lingyun just picked the largest one and pressed it on the parchment prepared in advance.

Horse-drawn carriages drive through the streets, and there are not many people on the streets today.

"Catch that thief!"

A voice came from the other side of the street, a strong man with a meat chopping knife was chasing a little boy!

The little boy couldn't run too fast because he still had a large piece of pork leg in his hand.

"Ahh

The little boy fell, rolled on the ground a few times, and collapsed in front of the carriage of the "Xiangyun" Chamber of Commerce.

The horse was startled, and a woman suddenly flew out of the carriage, she sat on the horse's back, and slapped the horse's head with both hands, and the purple smoke covered the heads of the two horses, and the horse was silent.

"Who scared my horse?" Yuka complained.

"Hehe, little thief, look where you run, it doesn't matter if you didn't find anything when you stole things before, but now you dare to rob things in public, you really inherited all the advantages of your thief father, today I will teach you a good lesson." The five big and three thick men chased after him, he rolled up his sleeves, and looked like he was going to move his fists and feet.

The little boy broke his leg and obviously couldn't run away again, but he didn't have the slightest fear, he turned his head to stare at the strong man, his eyes were so vicious, this is not the look of a normal child.

"Dead ghost, you dare to stare at me! Today, I will cut you with a knife. The strong man slashed the meat knife in one fell swoop.

"Stop."

A young girl stood in front of the little boy, and her beautiful face was truly intoxicating.

"You...... Who are you? The strong man was amazed at such a beauty, and even a layman like him, who dealt with pieces of meat every day, was attracted by this beauty.

"Passers-by." Red Makeup said.

"Beautiful girl, this thief has robbed me of the meat in my shop on the street, and it makes sense for me to punish him." The strong man said.

Red makeup didn't speak, but looking at her frowning look, it seemed that she wanted to kill the strong man on the spot at any time, and she could indeed do it, relying on the poison, she only needed to give the strong man a small wound.

"Beautiful girl? You'd better get out of the way. The strong man was ready to step forward, with a lewd smile on his face.

"That's it!"

Ye Lingyun and Qingsi also walked out of the carriage.

"Isn't it money? Take it. ”

Ye Lingyun directly threw a bag to the strong man.

As soon as the strong man took it, the bag was quite heavy.

"What's that?" The strong man opened it and took a look.

A piece of gold!

"Heavenly ...... Sky...... Oh, my God. "He's never seen that much money in his life as a pork seller.

"Grab it and get out." Ye Lingyun said.

"Alas, yes, yes, I'll get out now, I'll get out now." The change in the attitude of the strong man is so great, and the power of money has always been like this.
