Chapter 219: Windy City
After half a month, people have never changed their clothes, and when they are dry, they will use their hands to shoot the dry mud on it, and it will become dust and fly in the air; The grain, vegetables, and pulp on the vehicle were almost exhausted, and the firewood was also burned, so I had to pick up some hay in the snow and dry it on the firewood truck.
The convoy had only resupplied twice along the way, as it was so desolate and they were walking slowly.
Pressed the snow and skated all the way, and even the livestock froze to death, and then entered the Zongmo country.
Everyone entered the level of Zongmo Country unkempt, the Windy City.
Qifeng City is a military-based town, which is also a farmer and an army.
In wartime, there are many tuntians, and in wartime, they are soldiers.
The merchants in the city, except for the official fee-based post houses, do business mostly sell weapons, wine, clothing, medicine, there are few official residents here, like this city, maybe one day there will be a war, it will become ruins in an instant, but now, here, it must be a border city, merchants who want to enter Dami and merchants who enter from Dami, all choose to settle here, however, now there are almost no merchants passing by, and the severe cold has banned this behavior, except for a few who are not afraid of death.
Therefore, in the whole city, in addition to the sound of weapons being made, the footsteps of soldiers patrolling, and the biting sound of the cold wind, the sound of dead branches rolled up by the cold wind hitting the ground and walls, all that was left was the "creaking" sound of the bare trees.
When it was dark, there were people who were not afraid of death.
A caravan of considerable size, against the backdrop of cooking smoke rising from all over the city, came to the entrance of the city.
They looked like they had suffered a lot along the way, but they still looked very energetic.
"Show me who you are!" The discipline of the soldiers was still very strict, at least they did not put their weapons aside, stamping their feet and rubbing their hands like the common people - the key point was that each of them wore gloves.
"Look what this is!" At the front was Shi Yu, who took out the token of the Merchants of All Nations.
"You can pass it, but you have to show your identification!"
So everyone took out their identification.
"Dajiguo's?" The soldier took the lead officer to the leading officer.
Except for Qu Shiyuan's official introduction to Chen Daoguang of the Great Secret Kingdom, everyone else is the identity of the Great Ji Kingdom.
"Sure enough, check it carefully!" The officer looked at the official lead, and threw it to the soldier again, with a look of disdain, "This is the third batch of Daji businessmen this month, these people, only have money in their eyes, and they don't care about the war between countries!" Look at it and see if there is anything forbidden. ”
These soldiers checked it, determined whether there was any, made a move, and let it go!
Ninety-nine eighty-one is difficult, and today you will finally enter the spiritual mountain! Zhengfan Shi was also very happy in his heart, if it was an ordinary team, he would have died a long time ago! This world is not so peaceful, no wonder it is said that from Daji to Zongmo, this way of business, there are nearly 100 times the profit, this is all in exchange for life.
"Starting today, the rectification will take two days, and the brothers will rest their feet and set off the day after tomorrow!" It is also physically and mentally exhausting to seize the official! After so many days, I barely got a good night's sleep, it's really cold!
Even that Qu Shiyuan, a martial saint, showed fatigue on his face!
"Good!" The whole crew cheered happily.
As long as you pay money, there is nothing that can't be done, not to mention food and accommodation, this kind of border post will never lose interest in making money.
A big yard is important!
There are firewood piled up like a hill, as well as wells, thick quilts, hot kang that is burned, and hot water that is boiling, and there are five large stoves in this kind of yard that can boil water for cooking at the same time.
Isn't this the best item for guests from afar?
Serving a special local roasted whole beef and scalding a few barrels of green wine is enough for these guests to relieve their fatigue.
Zhengfan Shi and Shi Yu took the initiative to take on the duty task on the first night.
After walking such a long way, the spirits of these people are about to collapse, but Zhengfan Shi and Shi Yu are not tired, let others be on duty, they will also accidentally fall asleep, when the time comes, they still have to be Zhengfan Shi and Shi Yu They should cheer up and pay attention to the movement outside, it is better to take the initiative and take things over, anyway, as long as Shi Yu is on duty.
Zheng Fanshi's daily task is to practice, he is now starting to practice the "Soul Guide", now he has practiced almost half of the body, and now the stage of moving the soul has begun, but it is still dominated by the body soul.
"In half a month, I can start activating the Divine Court Seed!" Zheng Fanshi felt that time was passing really slowly.
The night was long, and it was freezing.
However, the night here is peaceful, and there are no big thieves.
Zheng Fanshi threw his clothes into the water and twisted them a few times, and then put them on his body again.
After a while, the clothes were dry.
This is the benefit of the physical body cultivation to the extreme, he can now adjust his body temperature to more than ninety degrees.
It's another morning!
Shi Yu came in from outside, and now it was their time to rest, and the official sent someone else to work the day shift.
"Today, Zhang Shou will go with me to handle the customs duties!" Tariffs, in fact, are available everywhere.
They have to bring in the tax collector, ask for some goods, and after making accounts, pay the taxes according to the rules here.
With God's help, things went smoothly when it came to Zongmo, and the officials did not hint that you could pay some of your taxes by paying bribes, as the Great Mi Kingdom did.
"Sure enough, it's like this here!" After the official came, he immediately called a meeting.
"What happened to the team leader?" Qiu Libai still wants to pat the team leader's ass.
"Zongmo Country had a bad time with Dami some time ago, and the Selling Country and Chiyue Country also suffered a big loss in Dami before, so now the border land is tense, we have to leave here early! There is no guarantee that there will be a war on both sides or something! However, there is a curfew at night in the city, but it is also safe! "You Guan looked at Zhengfan Shi, which means that I know what you have done.
"Hehe, I said how can it be so quiet at night!" Zheng Fanshi smiled, not caring about any of this at all.
At this time, I heard Shi Yu knocking on the door to warn.
Everyone hurriedly got up.
When I went out, a Taoist walked into the courtyard quickly.
I saw that this person was covered with a long black beard, wearing a thin shorts and summer shirt, carrying a big gourd behind him, holding a dust whisk in his hand, and a demon-slaying sword pinned to his waist.
"Please!" As soon as the Taoist priest saw everyone coming out, he immediately raised his hand and saluted.
"The Taoist priest is invited!" These people hurriedly saluted the Taoist priest.
"Human law is heaven and earth, and knowing the dragon must not be hidden in the sea, in fact, there are many people living in the market!" The Taoist priest said some strange words, and then looked at Qu Shiyuan, "If I guess correctly, the old gentleman is at least a master of the arrow qi stage, yes or no?" ”
