Chapter 31: Daddy's Pit
When Zero Benze opened his eyes again, he was already lying in the Gobi.
"Huh?!"
The dazzling sun shone down, and he couldn't help but squint.
Where am I? Wasn't it still night?
Shaking his head a little groggily, Zero Benze struggled to sit up and looked around.
On the deserted Gobi, there are strange rocks, and sand onions and weeds dot the Gobi. From time to time, some geckos and lizards scurry around in the grass, bringing a little vitality to this desolate Gobi. 999 starters
Looking into the distance, there were still no buildings to be seen, and Zero Benze was helpless, so he picked up his mobile phone and wanted to set a position.
Seeing that he didn't receive any signal on his phone, Zero Benze couldn't help frowning, where am I, abroad?
Zero Benze looked at the culprit who had sent him here, the piece of paper made of unknown materials.
Blowing the dust on it, Zero Benze looked at the son above, and was speechless for a while.
Son! I'm your dad! Calculate the time, a big event is going to happen in this ancient city, and you will know what will happen when you go. I just don't have enough time. The remaining time in the body of the year beast is only enough for people to go back and forth once, go see your mother. It's a little wish of mine. You've got a year to go, and you'll come back when the time comes.
Time? Mom? Gu cheng? What the heck? Zero Benze wondered in his heart, didn't you say that my mother died when she gave birth to me? What's the secret here? Time......
Zero Benze, who was full of doubts, couldn't figure it out for a while, so he just looked for where he was first.
Zero Benze walked towards a place for a long time, and finally saw a dry river trace.
Follow the trail of the river and you can find a place where people live!
Licking his lips, Zero Benze's eyes lit up and he began to walk along the river.
After walking for a whole day and night, relying on the edamame and a small amount of water he carried with him, Zero Benze finally saw the crowd!
When I got closer, I saw that it was a city that was not very tall.
Some people dressed in ancient costumes are coming in and out of the city gate, could it be filming? Zero Benze didn't care to move on.
When he got closer, these people pointed at his clothes, and Zero Benze secretly frowned and ignored it.
An uncle stepped forward and said:
"Young man, look at you dressed as a Hu merchant from the Western Regions, right?"
"Uh, this uncle, are you acting out?"
Zero Benze replied for some unknown reason.
"Acting? What play? Anyway, young man, is your official language very standard? ”
The uncle also replied.
Tut! No way? Zero Benze secretly said that it was not good, and asked hard:
"Uncle, how old is today? Where is this? ”
"Oh, I think about it, Zhenguan twenty-one years. Did you live in the mountains, young man? This is Wucheng. ”
The uncle replied calmly.
No way! Daddy, does you have such a pit for your son? Zero Benze suppressed the shock in his heart, and casually dealt with two sentences and fooled the old man away.
Zhenguan twenty-one years, isn't that the Tang Dynasty? Zero Benze stood in place, feeling extremely messy.
Grunt.
The stomach sounded a scream of lack of nutrition, and Zero Benze lowered his head deeply and sighed, forget it, let's find a way to eat first.
Relying on his dexterity, Zero Benze picked a place where no one was, quietly put a hidden talisman on himself, and then swaggered into the city in front of the soldiers guarding the gate.
Walk around the east and west, this city is also very prosperous because of its proximity to the Western Regions.
People come and go on the street, the cries of small traders and hawkers, the applause of onlookers watching acrobatic performances, and the sound of the piano from the inn wine shop are mixed together, interweaving a thriving Tang Dynasty beauty.
Zero Benze also removed the Hidden Talisman and stopped to admire it for a moment.
After shopping for a while and finding a pawnshop, Zero Benze immediately walked in and exchanged 2 of the dozens of fake pearls that Fengsheng had given him for several hundred Wen Kaiyuan Tongbao.
Great, fortunately, I didn't bother to throw it away at the beginning, and Zero Benze gave himself a thumbs up in his heart.
I don't know whether I grabbed it or lost it, and I didn't ask the price, so I went to the ready-to-wear store to buy a short coat with a heavy bag of Kaiyuan Tongbao, and no one looked at me strangely after wearing it.
Then I hurriedly found an inn to prepare for a rest, eat something, and by the way, see if I can find out the news, after all, the Wucheng that the old man said, after observing it for a while, confirmed that it was the ancient city of Wulongbo.
There is an inn, one of the most imposing inns in this small town.
As soon as Zero Benze entered the door, he was greeted by a young man with clear eyebrows and shouted eagerly:
"Is the guest officer sharpening or staying in the hotel?"
"Both."
Zero Benze replied.
"Guest officer, please."
Xiao Er eagerly led Zero Benze to a window seat on the second floor.
After sitting down, Zero Benze directly asked Xiao Er to serve the best wine and food, and gave him two pennies casually.
Xiao Er's eyes lit up, and he immediately thanked him and walked backwards, telling the back hall to prepare to go.
After a while, Xiao Er brought the warm wine first.
Zero Benze picked it up and poured himself a glass and took a sip.
Well...... It's rice wine. Sure enough, it was a big disappointment.
Then there was a cup of drinking.
In the corner of the second floor, there were two people who kept staring at Zero Benze's package.
"Big brother, look at that guy's package......"
The thin man said, and the other immediately replied.
"It's a fat sheep! Look at his momentum, he is not a person who cares about money, and the bulging package is still wrapped in the burden of the nearby pawnshop, seeing that he didn't even look at it just now, he grabbed two and gave them to Xiao Er, presumably it was full of copper coins! ”
Done! The two looked at each other, nodded at the same time, and waited for the opportunity.
Zero Benze didn't notice these two ill-intentioned thieves, but ate the food that was served, anyway, fill his stomach first.
After he was full of wine and food, Zero Benze called Xiao Er again, took out ten cents from his burden and held it in his hand.
Xiao Er's eyes moved up and down with Kaiyuan Tongbao, and he shouted in his heart: Ten cents! Two buckets of rice!
The two thieves not far away also looked at them with red eyes, and they barely pressed and didn't rob them.
"What do you want to ask?"
Swallowing and spitting, Xiao Er reluctantly looked away from his eyes, looked at Zero Benze and said.
"What a wit, I have something I want to ask, as long as you answer truthfully that these are all yours."
Xiao Er nodded, and Zero Benze continued:
"Has anything happened in Wucheng lately? Or it's going to happen. ”
"Well, there is a way. General Wang Xuance sent troops to Tianzhu to attack Alonashun, and when he passed by, he recruited troops from nearby tribes. However, when he left, he didn't know why he left a group of soldiers behind and stationed them in a canyon forty miles away from Wucheng. The younger relatives happened to be in the vegetable and fruit business in the city, and they had come into contact with this wave of soldiers, but they didn't dare to ask more. ”
Xiao Er replied truthfully.
Oh? And this thing, it seems likely to be the target I'm looking for.
Then Xiao Er said some more, but there was no nutritious topic, Zero Benze simply gave him ten cents, and went to the room he booked in Xiao Er's thanks.
