Chapter 373: Acquaintances are all over the world

"I don't really blame me for that. The tiger girl was very aggrieved, and explained in a whisper so that Tianyou understood the ins and outs.

Speaking of which, this matter really has something to do with the tiger girl, but it has to be said that responsibility...... can't say that there is no at all, but it is really wronged to blame her.

Half a year ago, a young tiger demon ran in from the Valley of the Beast King, and he had just become a demon. But as the saying goes, a bottle is not shaken, and half a bottle is shaken. The little tiger who had just become a demon only felt that the world had become vast for a while, and it seemed that there was nothing in the world that could make him jealous. So, after the tiger demon found out that he was "invincible", he began to die.

First of all, the tiger demon left his original territory, and the tiger girl speculated that he might be from another area of Qingyuan Mountain. After all, Qingyuan Mountain is not much smaller than those major European countries on the earth. Of course, it is impossible to have three or two youkai in such a large area. The tiger girl is just one of the strongest monsters in the Beastmaster Valley, and this Beastmaster Valley is only a small place in Qingyuan Mountain, and there must be more powerful monsters in other places.

Eighty percent of the place where the tiger demon originally lived was not a powerful monster, so it was a little unbelievable. After going out of his territory, he arrived in the Valley of the Beastmaster, and then he smelled the smell of the tiger girl, and found that it was still a female. Needless to say, the rest of the things with lime will not be said. Think about what those drunken young people will do to beautiful women, this tiger demon is basically the same as that.

But. Women are usually a vulnerable group, and when they are molested by young people, they can only wait for others to come to heroically save beauty. But the tiger girl is not a human being! This Nima is a real tigress! So...... Wang Dahu: The tiger demon they saw appeared outside the city with bruises all over his body. Yes, that's right. He wasn't trying to attack passers-by. That tiger demon was driven out of Qingyuan Mountain by Hu Niu all the way, if it weren't for the fact that Hu Niu knew the power of the human monks and didn't dare to chase out of the range of Qingyuan Mountain, this guy would have died directly in her hands.

But even if he ran out, he didn't catch it, this tiger demon was not bitten to death by the tiger girl, but finally died under the encirclement of human soldiers. Of course, the main reason is that this tiger demon has been beaten into a half-crippled by the tiger girl from the beginning, otherwise three or five more will not be able to handle a monster of the level of the tiger demon.

Although it is said that this tiger demon was driven out all the way by the tiger girl, the tiger girl was first molested, and then fought back angrily. So it's really not to blame her.

It's always the same sentence. I can't say that I am not responsible, but I really can't blame her.

Fortunately, those who know the truth are Tianyou and Lu Meng, who just listened together, and a few of them, these are all their own people, of course they won't say it outside.

After entering the city, several people were not in a hurry to find a place to stay, but first went to the Lu family's store in Taoyuan City. As one of the top big families in the Qin Kingdom, a big city like Taoyuan City certainly has a family industry. On weekdays, these industries can not only bring a lot of income to the family, but also can be used as a liaison station for family members like Lu Meng who go out. Of course, the specific extent to which you can serve depends on your status in the family.

Lu Meng is the daughter of the main house of the Lu family, and she is very good at coaxing people, not only is she regarded as the pearl of the palm by the head of the family, but even the King of Qin treats her as half a daughter, even better than some unpleasant biological children. Coupled with Zhenyuan's identity as a disciple of the Immortal Sect, and the relationship with the Ninth Princess Yingying's family, no one in the entire Qin Kingdom dared not take her seriously.

Knowing that it was Lu Meng who came, the store that didn't know what it was selling was immediately busy. The shopkeeper almost trotted all the way to greet her, for fear that the slow movement would upset her.

"Don't be nervous, don't be busy, I'm not here to check the accounts. "When I arrived at the boundary of my home, Lu Meng's eldest lady came out. waved his hand to send away the subordinate who served tea and poured water, and asked the shopkeeper directly. "Do you know where the Nine Princesses' team is?"

Tianyou and his party sat on the chair, but the shopkeeper only dared to stand. After hearing this, he thought about it for a while and said, "I heard that the princess is back, but I haven't seen the team enter the city, so I guess I haven't arrived yet." ”

When Lu Meng heard this, he immediately said to God bless them: "Look, I'll just say that we must be faster than them." ”

Panghai was puzzled: "Looking at the picture, we came here with a big detour, and we still walked on the mountain road in the middle, how could Senior Sister Yingying be slower than us?"

"It's just socializing, you don't know how annoying it is. Every time I come back with her, I want to go alone, but I can't save face. This time there is a valid reason. Lu Meng said and held the little fire fox in his arms in front of him and said to it dotingly: "It's still your little baby who has a big face, let me escape." Come, let the master kiss one. As he spoke, he rubbed his face against the little fire fox.

The fire fox that was normally caught would not be so well-behaved even if it was a young fox, but there was a big demon squatting next to him, and the little guy could only shrink into Lu Meng's arms and shake vigorously. It's still a few days of getting along and getting used to it a little, and when we first met, it was really and urine, and I was almost scared to death. The king character on the tiger's forehead is really not white, among the beasts, it is the beast king, and the queen of demons is still capable of suppressing the demons. Of course, the premise is not to run into someone who is too high-level.

"This ......" saw that Lu Meng was playing with the little fire fox and put the shopkeeper aside, so Tianyou called him, but when he opened his mouth, he found that he didn't know what to call it.

The shopkeeper is naturally accustomed to looking at people, and Tianyou knows that this is to relieve him from the siege, so he said enthusiastically: "The surname of the old man is Luo, and this little master can call the old man Luo shopkeeper or Luo Zhongshu." ”

"Haha, Shopkeeper Luo said with a smile, I'm not a young master. "This person looks like he must be almost fifty, and Tianyou is not as old as anyone in his two lives, so he first said modestly, and then asked: "You only have a sign of the Lu family's shop in this store, and you can't see the goods, what is selling with such a big store?"

Lu Meng, who was teasing the little fire fox, answered at this time. "This is the headquarters of the comptoir, and it doesn't sell anything, or everything else. ”

Luo Zhongshu also chimed in: "Miss is right. Each store is responsible for the sale of the goods, and we only do the incoming and outgoing accounts and the temporary storage and transshipment of goods, so it can be said that we sell nothing at all, or we can say that we sell everything. On weekdays, if someone needs to buy something, they can go to the corresponding store, and they come here to buy and sell in large quantities, and ordinary people do not accept them. ”

Tianyou nodded understandingly, "Oh...... I see. "But in my heart, I thought, isn't this the company's headquarters? The specific operation is all subordinate units, which are only responsible for operation management and key customer negotiations, but it seems that there is also a part-time job in the warehousing and distribution center here. Thinking about the poor traffic in the Shenzhou Continent, this arrangement is also reasonable. It can even be said that it is quite advanced.

After chatting for a few more words, Tianyou suddenly heard Shopkeeper Luo say that many of the materials of the Qin State to and from the neutral zone and various countries had to be transferred from here before they could go to the river to be loaded and transported, so he asked: "In this case, if I ask you to help buy some things, I don't know if it will be troublesome?"

"As long as you're passing through, it's not a problem. Of course, Shopkeeper Luo agreed to this little thing, and Tianyou immediately drew up a list for him. After taking the list and reading it, Shopkeeper Luo said: "There are a few things in the warehouse now, among which the storage of this yellow sheep grass is not enough, but at least half of the amount." I've seen the rest of the things, and it's not a problem to buy them slowly. I just don't know what this fountain of immortality is?

"The Fountain of Immortality is a special liquid produced in the Western Regions, which is generally sold in crystal bottles, and the merchants of the Western Regions occasionally bring it to my Shenzhou Continent for sale, and it is called this name. I hope that if the shopkeeper Luo sees it, he will purchase a batch on behalf of him, and the more the better. ”

"It's no wonder that products from the Western Regions are rare. Shopkeeper Luo explained it to Tianyou that he was looking for the wrong person to buy this thing.

Although the location of the Qin State is adjacent to the Western Regions, there is a towering mountain range in the middle, which is extremely difficult for manpower to cross, so the merchants of the Western Regions generally do not directly climb the mountains into the territory of the Qin State. They usually walk the border of the Song Kingdom, where there is a large plain that communicates, which is much easier than climbing the mountains. And if you go further north, you can also directly take the waterway transportation from the Yellow River between Song and Zhao.

The source of the Yellow River in the Shenzhou Continent is not in the Shenzhou Continent, but has been flowing from the Western Regions, and the source location is not within the scope of the Ten Kingdoms. Merchants from the Western Regions could transport goods to the neutral zone and the six kingdoms of Song, Zhao, Yan, Wei, Qi, and Chu as long as they followed the Yellow River. As for the four kingdoms close to the south, the Qin state could directly transport them by land from the Song state, and if it was going to the other three countries, it could be loaded directly in the Song state and go down the Yangtze River, which would naturally reach the other three countries.

Because of this geographical feature, most of the goods from the Western Regions will not reach Taoyuan City, and they are often all bought out when they pass through Wangcheng. Even if there are those who want to sell farther and make more money, they will consider transporting to the southeast of the Qin State and will not come to Taoyuan City. Because it is mainly a trade route that is preparing to enter the Yangtze River transportation channel or to the neutral zone. In terms of the position of merchants in the Western Regions, they will not borrow from the Qin State if they want to enter the Yangtze River or go to the neutral zone, so Taoyuan City can hardly buy any goods from the Western Regions, and the occasional appearance is also something that people pick leftovers or are too unpopular to sell.

Although it can't be bought here, Shopkeeper Luo said to Tianyou: "My Lu family's shops are all over the Qin Kingdom, and there are some branches abroad. Taoyuan City can't buy it, it doesn't mean that the Lu family firm can't buy it. Since you and Miss know each other, it is not difficult to buy a batch of them through the door of the firm. ”

When Tianyou heard this, he immediately looked at Lu Meng, and Lu Meng asked first: "What is the Fountain of Youth?

"Do you think anyone will sell that kind of thing?"

Lu Meng didn't lose interest because of this, but asked, "Then what's the use of this fountain of immortality?"

God blessed: "I really don't know how to explain it to you for a while." ”

Zhao Lingyun interjected at this time: "You said yours, and it's her business if you don't understand." ”

Hearing this, Tianyou still tried to say in a way that they could understand: "The Fountain of Youth, in fact, is not a spring, at least it is not a natural spring, there are artificial additions in it, but I don't know how they do it." In short, this thing seems to have a stimulant effect, and when mixed into the blood, it can make people feel like they are not afraid of pain after drinking, and it will not make people confused like drinking, but it will make people deaf and clear, and even the reaction will be a little faster. ”

"And such a miracle medicine?" Even Shopkeeper Luo shouted at this time, because this effect is known to fools who have a wide range of uses, but the old shopkeeper has been immersed in the business world for many years, and his cautiousness is still much stronger than that of Lu Meng. "I wonder what happens after using this thing?"

Tianyou smiled slightly. "It is not addictive, it does not hurt the body, and long-term use can also strengthen the body, and it also helps the monks to improve their cultivation. Of course, for the monks, this effect is really minimal, otherwise I am afraid that it would have been monopolized by Zixiao Palace long ago. However, for ordinary people, it is indeed a health care holy product. ”

"Then what do you want this thing for?" Zhao Lingyun asked curiously.

"Make poison. Tianyou opened his mouth to reply. Everyone was stunned, because they didn't expect this answer at all. Tianyou was unimpressed and slowly explained. "A stimulant is a drug that strengthens the body in a short period of time by accelerating blood circulation and providing more nutrients to the body. If poison wants to kill, it is obviously not enough to use the wound alone. However, if the poison is mixed with the Fountain of Youth, it can speed up the blood flow and allow the toxin to reach the heart in a short time. Moreover, I also found that the Fountain of Immortality can make poison deceive the body's resistance, and many monsters who are not afraid of toxins will die immediately after being poisoned by the Fountain of Youth, and the effect is outstanding. ”

Lu Meng suddenly realized: "So those people in the Night God Temple last time ......"

Lu Meng didn't finish her words, but Tianyou already understood what she meant. Last time, the people of the Night God Temple chased and killed Ying Ying and them, but they were killed by Tianyou's trap halfway, and many of them died of poisoning. Supposedly, those assassins were monks, and they also had antidote pills, and they shouldn't have been killed by a small toxin. Now that he heard about this fountain of immortality, Lu Meng understood the reason. It turns out that the poison of Tianyou has been concocted, and it has almost become a blood seal in the throat, first, the resistance of the monks does not work, and secondly, the poison attacks too quickly, and many people have died of poison before they have time to use the antidote, which is really powerful.

In fact, Tianyou did not tell the whole truth. The function of this fountain of youth is by no means as simple as making poison, this thing can be used as adrenaline after being concentrated by freeze-drying method, and it is a life-saving thing at critical moments. It's a pity that the syringe can't be built, and Tianyou can only take it orally, although the effect is worse, it's better than nothing.

There is no problem with handing over the matter of Immortal Spring to Lu Meng, as for the cost, Tianyou directly used the fire fox to offset it, anyway, Tianyou can't use the fire fox, but he doesn't plan to keep one for himself.

Ordered the shopkeeper to go down first, and then Lu Meng turned around and asked Tianyou: "Sister Ying hasn't arrived yet, what should we do now?" Do we go to Wangcheng first and wait, or wait here?"

After thinking about it for a while, Tianyou decided to go to the royal city first, after all, the supporters behind the two unsuccessful brothers who originally planned to help Ying Ying pit her, and the earlier she went to the royal city, she could start preparing earlier.

Lu Meng knew about this plan, and after understanding Tianyou's intentions, he also expressed his support, so the team set off again, the difference was that this time there were a few more spirit riders, and finally there was no need for two people to squeeze one spirit rider. Of course, the spirit horses are all from the Lu family, and Tianyou is just borrowing.

"Hey...... It seems that we have to find a way to get a few spirit riders as soon as possible!" He now has more and more helpers under him, and when he needs to hide his identity, he can't let them run with the horse by himself, so one spirit rider is the basic requirement. The most annoying thing is that he doesn't dare to ride a hell dragon, it feels like he has an F1 car at home, but he can only ride a shared bicycle when he goes out every day, which is really unpleasant!

After each person had a spirit horse, the speed was naturally much faster, and a few people traveled lightly, almost without stopping along the way, and soon arrived at the range of the royal city.

It was the first time I had seen such a large city, and I couldn't help but be shocked by the towering city walls. He was born in the neutral zone, and the largest city he had ever seen before was only the size of a medium-sized county. This guy was shocked once when he saw Taoyuan City, and now he is even more surprised when he sees Wang Cheng.

As a native of Qin, Lu Meng was naturally very proud when he heard the exclamation of the huge sea, and he vigorously introduced to him how big the scale of the royal city was, how many people there were, and he was shocked when he heard the huge sea, and even the tiger girl was quickly attracted to it.

Speaking of which, the reason why the tiger girl took the initiative to take refuge in Tianyou, in addition to the reason that she herself couldn't say clearly may be related to the dragon clan, the main reason may be this girl Sifan.

Wild beasts live between the mountains, and they are free to fall. However, after becoming a demon, her thoughts became complicated, and she began to envy the prosperity of the world. But it is precisely because her thoughts are more complex that Tiger Girl also understands that she can't get close to the city inhabited by humans at will. Therefore, every time it was dark, she could only stand on the top of Qingyuan Mountain and look at the lights of thousands of homes in Taoyuan City in the distance. So, the more I look at her, the more I yearn for it, and the more I yearn for it, the more I can't help but want to go to the world.

It's a pity that no matter how much you yearn for a demon, you are a demon, and you don't dare to enter the city easily. As for finding someone to run to and then entering the city as a demon pet...... Of course, this kind of idiotic idea Tiger Girl will not do it. It was this time that I happened to meet Tianyou and found that he actually had dragon blood on his body, so he took the initiative to surrender. After all, taking the initiative to be a demon pet and following the royal family in the demon clan are completely different things. It's like if there are aliens on the earth one day, and they want to find a human to be their pets, no one will want to go. But on the other hand, if a certain head of state wants to find an entourage, it is definitely a good thing for a group of people to break their heads and fight for it. Therefore, the tiger girl not only has no resistance to taking the initiative to take refuge in Tianyou, but is very happy.

When she was in Taoyuan City before, Hu Niu was very excited, and she took Tianyou to go to the market for a long time, and now when she arrived in this royal city, she found that it was more prosperous, and this girl couldn't help but want to go around the city. Listening to Lu Meng's introduction as a free tour guide on the side, she was also happy to clap her hands.

And so, the procession reached the gates. From afar, I saw a long queue outside several doorways, and there were soldiers checking the goods and identities of pedestrians.

After all, Wangcheng is different from ordinary cities, not to mention that now that the national sports task is approaching, all countries will send personnel in advance to make detailed work, and go to various countries in advance to inquire about the news in advance for their own talents in the national transportation task, and when the task begins, it can also be regarded as a routine means.

However, although it is customary to arrange detailed work, each country does not want its own country to be installed by others, so before the start of the national movement, the inspection of entering and leaving the royal city will become extremely strict.

Looking at the gate of the long dragon, Zhao Lingyun frowned and said, "When does this have to be queued?"

When Lu Meng heard this, he immediately patted his chest proudly and said, "Hehe, when you get here, you have to look at Miss Ben, there are few people in this royal city who dare not sell my face." As he spoke, he strode towards the central gate, the only gate where there was no one in line. Although the door was open, no one entered or exited from here.

Crash......

Seeing a few people approaching, the gatekeeper quickly stopped in front of the door, and one person walked out of the queue and shouted loudly: "Who is coming, this is the official gate, and idlers are not allowed to enter." Take it down immediately after not legging. ”

"Idiot, can't I even recognize it?" Lu Meng said as he showed the token of the Lu family.

"As long as it is not a person from the royal family, the government, or the army, it will pass through the doors on both sides. ”

Although Da Da Hai was already a monk, he had never seen such a battle, and two more teams of soldiers had already run over from the opposite side, holding Changge in front of them, and the aura of slaughter immediately permeated. "Let's go both ways, anyway, it's not yet noon, so we won't be delayed for long. ”

"No, Miss Ben is going to pass here today. Hmph, if you don't know Miss Ben, you should always recognize ......"

"God bless the son?" Before Lu Meng finished speaking, someone at the back of the team suddenly shouted. "God bless the child, is that you?"

"Are you ......?" the person who came looked very young, but Tianyou was not impressed.

"Childe doesn't recognize me anymore. On that day, Gongzi was assessed at the General's Mansion, and I served by General Deng Yu Deng, and later you defeated General Deng. ”

"Deng Yu?" of course Tianyou recognized the name. "You're talking about General Bai's personal soldier?"

As soon as he heard this, the young man immediately smiled and said: "General Deng was indeed General Bai's personal soldier in his early years, but he was promoted to general after making military achievements, and then he was promoted all the way to the current position of General Yamen, just because General Deng has no family, so he has been living in General Bai's mansion, and he likes to use General Bai's personal soldiers on weekdays." ”

As soon as the other party explained this, Tianyou understood that the one he had beaten at the beginning was not an ordinary soldier, but a Yamen general. Converted to the position on earth, this is roughly equivalent to a division commander-level existence.

"And ...... are you today?"

"Oh, because of the recent martial law in the royal city, the lieutenant's mansion is short of manpower, so Lord Yan sent a letter to the king asking if he could mobilize the forbidden army to replenish the manpower. However, Lord Mu also seems to be in a hurry because of the recent repeated attacks by assassins in Miyagi, and he is thinking about supporting him from elsewhere. ”

"And that's what happened to you?"

The young man smiled, "Actually, it's good to be seconded, although Lord Yan is strictly disciplined, he is very generous, and we don't want to go back after eating these days." ”

"You're going to have fun. Tianyou greeted him for a moment and asked, "We are going to enter the city, is it really impossible to pass through this middle gate?"

"Where the words. Tianyou Gongzi is back to participate in the national sports mission, right? That can be regarded as a contribution to the country, of course, he can go to the middle door. As he spoke, he waved his hand back and shouted: "The national talents who participated in the national sports mission are back, and they don't retreat quickly." ”

Sure enough, the soldiers behind immediately put down their spears, and then ran back to the city gate under the leadership of the team commander. However, although he got the right of way, Lu Meng was angry. Originally, when she returned to the royal city, she planned to show off her obscenity, but she didn't expect to suffer a loss as soon as she entered the city gate. Her dignified eldest lady from the Lu family was not as big as Tianyou's face, and this encounter almost suffocated her internal injuries. They still laughed at her vigorously, provoking this girl to be angry like an inflated puffer fish all the way.

"Okay, okay, I know that you have a big face, but the grade of the wave of people just now is too low, and I don't recognize you as a big person. Tianyou comforted the puffed up Lu Meng, and then said, "Now it's time for you to play your role, let's find us a place to live first, right?"

"Hmph, do you think of me now?" said the girl, but she had already begun to plan a viable place to live. "Since you're going to do something, I'm not going to be able to live there. I don't think it's better to do this, and you guys separate. Senior Sister Zhao and Panghai will live with me first, God bless, how about you take Qi Xiaomei and Hu Niu to live in my Hundred Soldiers Workshop?"
