Chapter 168: Ethereal Peak, Vulture Palace
In this regard, Su Zimo also smiled slightly.
Ancient Tea Horse Road.
Originated from the ancient southwest frontier of the tea and horse market, flourished in the Tang and Song dynasties, and flourished in the Ming and Qing dynasties.
The reason for this is that Tibet is a cold region, and tsamba, milk, ghee, beef and mutton are the staple foods of the Tibetan people.
In the alpine region, it is necessary to consume high-calorie fat, but there are no vegetables, and the glutinous rice is hot and dry, and excessive fat is not easy to decompose in the human body, while tea can not only decompose fat, but also prevent dryness.
Therefore, the Tibetans have created the habit of drinking butter tea on the plateau in their long-term life.
However, tea is not produced in Tibetan areas, and in the interior, a large number of mules and horses are needed for civil servants and military campaigns, but the supply exceeds demand, while Tibetan areas and the border areas of Sichuan and Yunnan produce good horses.
Therefore, the trade of tea and horses with complementary properties, that is, the "tea and horse market", came into being.
If the Murong family wants to make trouble, it is natural to form its own army.
And the war horse is an indispensable part.
Since ancient times, the trade of war horses, ordnance, salt and other trade has been strictly prohibited by the imperial court, even if the Murong family has accumulated a huge family business in the Central Plains, they do not dare to risk the disapproval of the world to get involved in war horses.
But this time it was different.
Not to mention Dali and other places, which are the necessary places for the Ancient Tea Horse Road, the various preferential treatment given by Duan Zhengming alone, as well as the alliance between the Murong family and Dali, have determined that the Murong family's business house has the qualification to meddle in the Ancient Tea Horse Road.
After all, in the era of cold weapons, cavalry is always the top priority.
Even a martial arts master, in the face of a battle formation composed of thousands of heavy cavalry, is not able to catch it.
It's a pity that the cost of cavalry is too high.
Especially horses, even with the strength of the Murong family, it is difficult to get qualified war horses.
Now, with the trade of the Ancient Tea Horse Road, I believe that it will not be long before we can accumulate enough funds to train a cavalry team.
Thinking of this, Su Zimo couldn't help but concentrate, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
"Brother Deng."
"The subordinates are here!"
"In my name, most of the manpower in the family will be mobilized here, no matter what, my Murong family must have a piece of the trade of this ancient tea horse road!"
Hearing this, Deng Baichuan couldn't help but be stunned.
He also knew that his son-in-law had great ambitions in his heart, and he naturally knew the importance of this war horse.
Immediately, he nodded heavily.
"Yes!"
"Another ......"
As he spoke, Su Zimo remembered something again, nodded and said: "Regarding the matter of collecting those homeless people and orphans, we must continue, remember that we must be innocent, and we would rather lack than abuse." ”
After that, Su Zimo made a series of arrangements.
These things, he was already familiar with them in the Yitian World, but now they were arranged in an orderly manner, which shocked Deng Baichuan on the side, but also admired Su Zimo's plan.
"Childe is so far-sighted, even if the old man knows about it, I'm afraid he should be blind!"
But he didn't know that in fact, the person in front of him was no longer the Murong Fu in his impression.
…………
The misty peaks are often shrouded in clouds and mist for most of the year, and it is impossible to see the face of the mountains.
However, it is precisely because of this that it is called "Ethereal Peak".
At this moment, Su Zimo was standing on the Tianshan Mountain, looking at the not very high peak in front of him, and he felt a little emotion in his heart.
This ethereal peak is called ethereal, but there is no ice and snow, but is shrouded in a vast white mist, like a fairyland on earth.
With his state of mind at this time, he was inevitably shocked by this grand stroke, I really don't know what kind of person can build a building like the Vulture Palace in such a misty place.
And he stopped like this, and soon attracted the attention of several women in white.
"What people!"
Seeing this situation, Su Zimo smiled faintly and said faintly: "You don't have to panic, take the trouble to tell the Lord of the Vulture Palace, just say that the people from the Freedom Sect are coming, and please come out to see you." ”
Originally, with the temperament of a few people, when they saw Su Zimo, they had the intention of driving the person in front of them down without saying a word.
But the moment he touched the other party, he couldn't help but be taken by the inexplicable bearing of the other party, and even his tone couldn't help but soften a little.
"Isn't Childe an old acquaintance of the lord?"
"Just show it to her, and you'll know everything."
As he spoke, Su Zimo stretched out his palm, took off the Seven Treasures Ring that Wu Yazi had passed down to him, handed it to one of the women, and said with a light smile: "I'm tired." ”
"Childe, please wait a moment."
Seeing this, several women looked at each other a few times and discussed for a while.
In the end, one of them quickly ran towards the Vulture Palace at the top of the mountain, while the rest of them looked at Su Zimo with a wary face.
After a while, the woman went and returned, with a hint of surprise on her face.
"The palace master is invited, and I also ask the prince to come with me."
"Thank you."
The group walked straight to the top of the mountain.
This Vulture Palace is full of mechanisms, even Su Zimo can't help but be impressed by this exquisite design.
And on the way it must pass, a bottomless mountain stream blocks the road.
At both ends of the mountain stream, there is a faint chain connection.
"Childe, please."
Looking at the slightly playful looks of the women in front of him, Su Zimo smiled slightly, and a hint of playfulness appeared on his face.
With his eyesight, how could he not see that this was a few people deliberately testing their martial arts.
In this regard, there is no committal.
Step out.
But he did not step on the thin chains, but stepped on the void, walking steadily, little by little, towards the other side.
"Oooo
One-step.
Two steps.
Three steps.
This kind of practice, from a distance, seems to rely on the wind of nothingness, like a fairy.
For a while, several girls in white were dumbfounded, you look at me, I look at you, all of them saw that incredible color in each other's eyes.
Volleying into the void, across the mountains.
This is like the story of the legend of Xianxia, which really appeared in front of them.
And the most unacceptable thing for them is the age of this person.
Could it be ...... It seems that the people who come are not enough to stand up.
In fact, in fact, he is the same as his own palace master, but he is a person with good looks?
Thinking of this, several girls felt a little better in their hearts, and hurriedly stepped on the chains, with inexplicable thoughts, and walked quickly across the mountain stream.
After passing the mountain stream, the Vulture Palace was already faintly visible.
This Vulture Palace is worthy of being the place where it rules over the thirty-six caves and the seventy-two islands.
The whole building is magnificent, although it is the place where the woman lives, but it does not reduce its magnificent atmosphere, and its exquisiteness, even if it is the palace compound, is also surpassed.
Under the leadership of several people, Su Zimo came to a large hall, there is a high platform in the center of the hall, there is a seat on the platform, the whole body is inlaid with gold, very luxurious, a woman sits on it, her eyes are full of vicissitudes.
