Chapter Forty-Nine: Selling Wives and Pawning Girls
Unlike Zhao Feichen's expectations, in front of the Heavenly Punishment Gorge in the early morning, there were actually many people gathered.
Most of them are dressed as business travelers, divided into several camps of various sizes, about one or two hundred people, all of whom are busy packing up. These people obviously missed the time to enter the customs yesterday, so they had to camp here and wait for the dawn switch.
Almost everyone has a black box no more than half a person high, the shape is all the same, you can't see what is inside, there is a striking golden dragon logo on the surface of the box, shining in the early sun, winding into a "summer" word, like a seal.
Zhao Feichen didn't know the situation, of course he didn't dare to step forward easily, pulled He Qiao'er cat to observe behind the hillside for a while, and saw that the magnificent city pass was gradually opened, and several teams of warriors slowly crossed the iron chain bridge across the Tianqi Gorge, and set up temporary checkpoints, and the merchants carrying black boxes were inspected one by one, and then crossed the bridge one by one, and finally entered the city.
At this time, there was some sound behind him, and Zhao Feichen looked back, it turned out to be Guan Feige and Guangcheng.
The two of them may have waited too long in the forest, so they couldn't help but run out to see what was going on.
Zhao Feichen pointed to the side of the chain bridge and said with a wry smile: "The pass is so strictly checked, I don't know how to get in." ā
Guan Feige tiptoed to look at it and said with a smile: "That's for the imperial businessmen involved in witchcraft!" Every year, many people let Wu Man take him away from the territory, and many people successfully escaped back, as long as you find out that it is not Wu Man, no one will stop you from entering the customs. ā
A big stone in Zhao Feichen's heart suddenly fell to the ground, and he smiled easily: "I see that your eldest brother doesn't seem to be here today, let's go over now?" ā
Guan Feige glanced over there again, and said, "There is a little master Lao......
Zhao Feichen hurriedly said: "Shh, don't call it that when you pass the customs, you are a refugee, I am also a refugee, it is important to enter the customs, don't make any extraneous branches." ā
Guan Feige said in his heart: "That's right, he is the Elector of the Wind Demon Palace, of course he doesn't dare to show his identity in Fengling River, otherwise what he enjoys is by no means the preferential treatment that the Elector should have, but extreme anger and resentment." ā
Seeing her nodding in agreement, Zhao Feichen breathed a long sigh of relief, and took the courage to lead the way to the chain bridge.
As Guan Feige said, as soon as several people explained that they were refugees who had been kidnapped by the witches, instead of being harassed, the warriors guarding the pass were full of sympathy.
After passing the inspection of people and witches, the garrison officer even recruited a team leader and asked him to personally lead a few people into the customs and take them directly to the relief office in the city for good placement. The team leader was also very enthusiastic, and only left after some patient advice.
It is said to be a relief place, but in fact it is a refugee camp, where all refugees who have fled from outside the border can rest for a while, although the food and accommodation are simple, but they can definitely survive. During this period, they may send letters to their relatives to send them the travel expenses, or even pick them up in person.
Even if you can't find your relatives to take refuge in, you can still do some handymen in the city under the arrangement of the help office, and life may be difficult, and food and clothing are not a problem.
All these things made Zhao Feichen's impression of Xia Ting change greatly, but he didn't expect this human dynasty that seemed to have a very low level of civilization to be so warm.
However, after all, he had no intention of staying here for a long time, and he didn't want to bump into the person he saved yesterday, so as not to cause trouble, so he quickly got out of the camp, only a few streets away, and came to the bustling avenue of Fengling City.
From the outside, Fengling City is magnificent and magnificent, but when you go to the city, it shows the vicissitudes of ancient times.
The streets are full of thick stone and brick buildings, blue and white, hard and tall, and almost everywhere you can see damaged and repaired cracks, as well as large shards of old burning, obvious scars from war, heavy history, painful memories everywhere.
This ancient majestic city was sunk in the war and reborn in the flames......
ā¦ā¦ z=z^2+cā¦ā¦
Before noon, there were not many pedestrians on the street, and the clothes were still black and red, which was very similar to the dress of the wind and night, and most of them were not luxurious, but purely neat and straight. It is not uncommon for people to carry bows and knives on the road like He Qiaoer, the men are fierce and brave, the women are heroic, and the martial atmosphere is very strong.
There is harm only when there is comparison, and comparing Zhao Feichen's figure with the burly men on the street who are not talking, it is like a chicken thrown into the wolves, trembling in his heart. Especially after seeing the clean people on the street, he began to find that he was sloppy like a beggar, and he was really ashamed to see people.
It took him a long time to muster up his courage, and finally found a young man dressed as a scribe to ask for directions.
This young man is too fair-skinned, slender, and a little sickly, he is a rare "normal man" on the street, even weaker than Zhao Feichen.
"You asked Hong Sanye's Xuanbao Pavilion?" The young man looked at the few people for a while, and said with a smile: "Little brother, don't blame my brother for looking down on you, Xuanbao Pavilion is not a place for people to wander around, I don't have a few catties and taels in my pocket, I'm afraid I can't even enter the door." If you really want to find something to eat, why don't you go to the third master's Wangchun Tower, where you can recruit people! ā
He Qiao'er saw that this person was looking down on people, and couldn't help but step forward angrily, Zhao Feichen hurriedly pulled her back, and said with a dry smile: "Wangchun Tower, Wangchun Tower, bother brother to show me the way!" ā
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." The young man was smiling all over his face, he didn't think Zhao Feichen was sloppy, so he hooked his shoulders and hugged him, and said with a smile: "Unfortunately, brother, I am going to Wangchun Tower, and it is fate to meet each other, I invited this meal at noon today, and I ...... walking."
Zhao Feichen was so uncomfortable with him that he couldn't break free, and he was forcibly led to the side streets.
He Qiao'er frowned slightly, touched the headshot behind her, and strode to follow.
"Little Miss......" Guangcheng also saw that this person had nothing to do, and couldn't help but whisper a warning.
Guan Feige hesitated slightly, but still followed.
In her opinion, Zhao Feichen is not only a selector, but also a selector of the Wind Demon Palace, who is famous for his poisonous heart, usually looks cowardly and ignorant, whoever wants to take it seriously will definitely die a miserable death.
It can be said that the notoriety of the Wind Demon Temple gave Guan Feige great courage, otherwise in this unfamiliar place, she would definitely not dare to be taken into the side alley by the head snake.
In the side streets and alleys, it is very secluded and there are no pedestrians.
The white-faced young man let go and smiled: "The contemptible Hua Qiufeng, although it is called Qiufeng, has always been childish and has never been bullied, and he has never beaten Qiufeng." The trick is quite bright, and it can be seen that the little brother is now in the shallows, and he is a little embarrassed. But it doesn't matter, the carp will always take off, and it will turn into a dragon when it jumps into the dragon gate. The most important thing is to swim to the Dragon Gate first......"
This young man looked weak, his hands were extremely strong, Zhao Feichen had been strangled by his neck, and it was not easy to relieve his strength, and said with a dry smile: "What did my brother say?" Why can't I understand? ā
Hua Qiufeng laughed and said: "There is nothing to be embarrassed about, in ancient times, Jia Dazai sold his wife to prepare for the exam, and now there is also Gao Situ Diannu who asks for the exam, once he took off, he was in a high position, and the ridicule and white eyes of the past can only prove how persevering, outstanding, outstanding, and far-sighted you are......"
Zhao Feichen listened to his nonsense, and looked confused: "What kind of wife and daughter?" ā
Hua Qiufeng stretched out his fingers with a smile and clicked Guan Feige, He Qiaoer and Guangcheng in turn.
