Ending the chaos of the Five Dynasties, Zhao Kuangyin established the Great Song Dynasty. After digesting Zhuo Bufan's memory, Lu Renjia was surprised to find that the small world of "Dragon Babu" deviated from the Great Song Dynasty in history.

Zhao Kuangyin, who started with a Qi Mei stick and a set of Taizu long fists, was able to defeat Murong Longcheng, a congenital master who created the two stunts of "Dou Zhuan Xing Shift" and "Shen He Finger", and Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin was naturally not weak in martial arts.

Relying on outstanding martial arts and a million troops, Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, extended the territory of the Great Song Dynasty to the Liaodong Peninsula. And this Changbai Mountain became a buffer zone between Song and Liao.

However, with the experience of adding a yellow robe, Zhao Kuangyin was worried that the generals under his command would not be able to suppress these highly meritorious and martial arts generals after his death, and one day they would also have a yellow robe, so he released his military power with a glass of wine and used Wenchen to balance the generals. However, with the death of Zhao Kuangyin, the male lord, on the way back from Liao, the throne was taken over by his brother Zhao Kuangyi. Of course, there are different opinions about Zhao Kuangyin's death, some people say that it was the recurrence of the dark wound left by Zhao Kuangyin after defeating Murong Longcheng, and some people say that Zhao Kuangyin killed his brother and usurped the throne. Many rumors followed Zhao Kuangyi's yellow robe, and he was the queen of the ministers. All the gossip has become invisible.

The rich Great Song Dynasty was surrounded by many strong enemies, including Tubo, who ruled the country by religion, and Li Yuanhao, the Western Xia lord who first submitted to the Great Song Dynasty and then established himself in Western Xia. In the south, there is a corner of the Dali Duan Dynasty. The biggest headache is Daliao in the north.

Since the Khitan clan took advantage of the decline of the Turks and established the Great Liao Empire under the leadership of Yelu Abaoji, they have been eyeing the rich Great Song Dynasty. Every few years, they will herd horses south to plunder the wealth and population of the Central Plains.

Although the hinterland of the Central Plains is a stable and peaceful prosperous scene, this side of the pass is full of wars. However, this continuous war did not stop the mercenary business travel, so the medicinal material business travel to and from Changbai Mountain has not decreased.

Because no matter when and where, ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, Cordyceps, He Shou Wu and other rare things are still the necessities of dignitaries. And the raging war has doubled the price of these rare things. If an authentic Changbai Mountain ginseng is not purchased from Changbai Mountain and sold back to the Great Song Dynasty, it can be sold at a price of at least 4,000 guan, and the purchase price is only 3 or 400 guan. Attracted by huge profits, those medicinal herb merchants braved many dangers and obstacles, but still passed through the state and county, stepped out of the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, and came to the snow-capped Changbai Mountain.

Among the only wine restaurants in this market, Lu Renjia, who was sitting by the window, ordered a plate of donkey meat with sauce and drank the turbid rice wine. Although the original innate cultivation was not there, Zhuo Bufan's body was also a first-class early stage martial artist, even if Lu Renjia did not deliberately use the perceptual domain to listen to the surrounding grass and trees, with Zhuo Bufan's own first-class early stage cultivation, he could also take the whispered conversations of those merchants around him into his ears.

I saw several merchant travelers wearing mink coats sitting at the table in the corner, drinking sullen wine and complaining to each other.

"Shopkeeper Liu's year is really not as good as a year, how many hurdles have we experienced along the way?" A rich-looking man in his mid-thirties complained.

The man known as Shopkeeper Liu, about forty years old, his weather-beaten face was full of wrinkles, and he drank a sip of turbid rice wine, and Shopkeeper Liu smiled bitterly, "What Zhang Dongjia said is that on this way, whether it is the official army or Xiangma and Liao soldiers, we have to bow down and pay a filial piety, and when we return to our Great Song Dynasty, some of those officials, old men, and official wives still stretch out their hands to ask for nothing..."

"You are always the predecessor of this industry, this chaotic years, this ringing horse is more and more, in the past, we only need to pay seven or eight copies, now it's good, I handed over twenty-three filial piety along the way, this is to come to this Changbai Mountain, whether you can name or can't name it, you have to ask for a share, those are the Lord who kills people without blinking. I really can't get rid of it if I don't give a copy," Zhang Dongjia complained.

After listening attentively for a while, Lu Renjia learned the general situation of the current world of "Tianlong Babu" from the mouths of these two medicinal herb merchants, and in general, it was four words: 'bandits are rampant'. And around this Changbai Mountain, there are at least hundreds of ringing horses of different sizes, ranging from dozens to hundreds. Hearing this, Lu Renjia couldn't help frowning and pondering. The supercomputer-like brain was racing.

"Qiao Feng has not yet become the leader of the beggar gang, Duan Yu and Xuzhu, not to mention the two who know the Zhenlong chess game, the method of solving the game that is born after death, with my brain domain that has been developed to nineteen percent, even if I go to Drum Mountain to crack the Zhenlong chess game, it is estimated that there is not much of a problem at this time, but in this way, the trajectory of the world will inevitably be changed, hum, now taking advantage of the fact that the name of South Murong and North Qiao Feng has not yet prevailed, should I be able to establish a force that belongs to me in a few years? You can just use your soul to hatch the 'None ** Soul Egg' in the Heavenly Sword. Lu Renjia thought secretly.

Glancing at the four or five guys wearing thick leather jackets and thief eyebrows outside the wine company, Lu Renjia had a plan in his heart, and shouted to the shopkeeper, "Check out!! ”

When the shopkeeper in a sheepskin jacket ran over, "Are you available?" A plate of donkey meat with sauce and a pot of rice wine totaled 30 yuan"

According to Zhuo Bufan's memory of going down the mountain to exchange ginseng for daily necessities, Lu Renjia knew that today's Great Song Dynasty still uses copper coins as the main currency in circulation, one stone of rice is about 700 Wen, one catty of coarse salt is worth between 50 and 70 Wen, and one tael of gold is equal to five copper coins, that is, 5,000 Wen.

The price of luxury goods such as wine and meat is naturally more expensive, Lu Renjia glanced at the three or five thieves outside the wine company, the corners of his mouth outlined a faint sneer, and deliberately took out the gold bar from his arms.

The shopkeeper who was waiting for Lu Renjia to settle the bill couldn't help but be shocked when he saw Lu Renjia escape from the gold bar. Although this remote town often has medicinal herbs and trades, how can anyone ever settle the bill with gold? For a while, I couldn't help but exclaim: "Guest... Guest officer, oh no, this uncle, we can't find this gold bar for you in the small door of our shop."

This exclamation not only attracted the attention of everyone in the wine store, but even the three or five thieves and rat-eyed men who were wandering outside the store also came over, and when they saw the gold bar in Lu Renjia's hand, they quickly turned around and left.

The shopkeeper, who was nearly fifty years old and had gray hair, hurriedly walked to Lu Renjia, and after seeing Lu Renjia's thin dress and the pitch-black iron sword behind him, he guessed in his heart that this uncle was probably a martial arts person who walked on the wall, and suddenly showed a respectful and flattering smile on his face, and pushed away the fuss shopkeeper, "Don't blame this uncle, this small business of the old man really can't find your gold bar with such a good color, even if I sell my store, It is estimated that it will not be worth your gold bar, such as uncle, you don't have copper coins on you, even if the little old man respects you, the guest officer walks slowly."

is the so-called old people, ghosts, and old spirits, the gray-haired shopkeeper in front of him doesn't even accept his own money, and he can't help but make Lu Renjia smile, who can do business in this troubled world, who doesn't have eyesight? Lu Renjia waved his hand, "I, Zhuo Bufan, never eat white food, so you should find it, right?" As he spoke, he took out the Heavenly Sword that had recovered into pitch-black black iron behind him, pressed the gold bar in his hand on the table, and swiped it, and the golden bump the size of his thumb was cut off. Prepare ten catties of donkey meat and a pot of good wine for me, and by the way, help me buy more than one horse, and you should be rewarded with a reward, and you have to hurry up, so you will bother the old shopkeeper to hurry up."

Seeing the gold handed over by Lu Renjia, the gray-haired old shopkeeper glanced at the three or five thieves outside the store, and couldn't help but show a wry smile, "Then thank you for the guest officer, wait a minute, Xiao Lao'er will help you prepare it" said and pulled the shopkeeper into the back hall.

The young shopkeeper stared at the gold in the shopkeeper's hand, and said with a smile: "Why did the shopkeeper just say that he didn't accept the uncle's meal money?" This Uncle Zhuo is really arrogant, I have never seen such a master, even if he helps this Uncle Zhuo buy a horse, the rest of the reward will be more than we earn in a month."

The gray-haired shopkeeper glared at the hippie smiling shopkeeper, and shouted in a deep voice, "What do you know about this doll?" Didn't you see the men standing outside the store just now? It is clearly a few spies sent by a few groups of Xiangma nearby, Uncle Zhuo is a person in the martial arts at a glance, and the gold bars in his hand are at least ten taels, and the money paid by those visitors to buy the road is only one or two yuan, this fifty yuan of huge wealth, how can it not make those Xiangma's eyes red? Just now, my old man exempted Uncle Zhuo's meal money, just to send him away quickly, in case those ringing horses rush in and put people's lives on the stall, can we do this business in the future? Alas, I didn't expect this Uncle Zhuo to be really arrogant, taking advantage of the fact that those ringing horses didn't come, you kid hurry up to buy a good horse for Uncle Zhuo to buy a good horse in the horse market, I hope Uncle Zhuo can be safe."

Lu Renjia, who was sitting by the window, was still calmly drinking the turbid rice wine in the cup, and those pharmacists who were talking to each other saw that Lu Renjia was dressed up, and there were a few elderly people who hurriedly pulled their men and nurses to settle the bill and leave. whispered: "The master of the Zhang Dong family looks like a person from the rivers and lakes, let's do business, don't you just want money and peace?" I'm a friend of your Zhang family, and you just listen to the old man, let's settle the bill and leave, and this bloody storm is not something that we can mess with."

Hearing the persuasion of the other party, the owner surnamed Zhang sat down in a sneer, "You have walked more bridges than I have walked, thank you for the warning."

Not to mention that the building in this wine shop suddenly became empty, and the three or five thieves had already run out of this small market at the foot of Changbai Mountain.

Several falcons fluttered their wings and flew into the sky, flying in several different directions.

In a ruined temple three or four miles away from the market, more than 80 sturdy men in sheepskin jackets were roasting some wild deer, roe deer and other things around several fires, and a big man sitting in the center, about forty years old, wrapped in a tiger skin, with a horse chopping knife about two meters long beside him. The scar on the stubbed beard can be seen from the left eye to the lower jaw, and the blind left eye has formed a wrinkled skin.

"Ma Er from the town of the big boss has a letter, saying that there is a big deal," shouted a man wrapped in a sheepskin jacket and with a ghost-headed knife stuck in his back.

The man who was blind in his left eye raised his head slightly, put aside the browned venison in his hand, and took the note handed by his hand.

"Yo? Only one person? It looks like a fat sheep brother! Copy guys, let's quickly whip up and intercept this fat sheep, this fat meat to the mouth, I have a one-eyed tiger to eat it, don't let Feng Lao Liu Gu Qi and them snatch it! The one-eyed tiger grabbed the horse chopping knife next to him, walked out of the broken temple and turned over on his horse.

Eighty of his men roared, following closely behind. Rushed out of the ruined temple and rushed towards the market at the foot of Changbai Mountain.

At the same time, the same scene was played out in the ringing nest of the four gangs hiding four or five miles away from the market.
