Su Qi leaned against the gray wall, holding a skewer of barbecue in his hand, listening to the conversation of the merchants in the tea shop on the side.

He was already vaguely aware of the background of this trial.

The Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty was ambitious, killed a large number of lords and princes and generals in the country, and recently the dynasty has frequently transferred troops, no matter how you look at it, it looks like it is about to go south, from the perspective of territory, there are too many mountains and mountains on the border between the Great Jin and the Chaoyun Empire, and it is difficult for mortal armies to cross, so the most likely object of the Great Jin is the Darong Dynasty.

In recent years, the struggle between Jiuqing in the Darong Dynasty has also come to an end, and the Nangong clan is powerful and dominates the major forces in the country.

There are many borders between these two countries, a total of three states border, but this desert is the top priority, although the desert is not suitable for troop transfer, but if you can control here, the Great Jin Dynasty is equivalent to inserting a knife directly into the hinterland of Darong, and this desert is very close to the ancestral land of the Nangong clan, which is enough to make the Nangong clan sit still.

The Darong Dynasty itself is well aware of this, so they are also very wary of this place, and judging from the conversations of those merchants, it seems that the Darong Dynasty is also increasing its troops to the border city near the desert.

The problem is the attitude of the city of Saros.

The city has a long history, older than the three nearby empires, and has been burned down and rebuilt several times in battle, most recently during the Warring States period more than 3,000 years ago, when ten practitioners joined forces to rebuild the ruined Sara Castle, and they practiced neutrality and did not participate in the struggles of any surrounding countries, even if ten practitioners replaced them over the past 3,000 years, this practice was continued.

It's good that Shaluo City continues to remain neutral, and the two empires may not be embarrassed by the people in this city for the sake of the face of the ten great cultivators, but if Shaluo City falls to one of them, I'm afraid the situation will change immediately.

Sharo City is located in the middle of this desert, and it is the largest oasis in the desert, it is the perfect supply point, which side can get the support of Sharo City, almost instantly has the control of this desert, and the opportunity is taken first.

However, after all, Shaluo City is a city established by cultivators, and whether participating in the struggle between the two empires violates the laws of the Cultivators' Holy Alliance that prohibits practitioners from disturbing the world, this point remains to be discussed, but the attitude of Shaluo City has become the most concerned thing for Sharo people and merchants these days.

There were many people who came to the door to ask for information about the city lord, but it is said that they were all blocked back, even the largest chamber of commerce owners.

This has made everyone worried.

Because if you really don't want to participate, just make a statement frankly, and the two empires won't do anything because of this, but now it's secretive and silent, it seems that Shaluo City really has the intention to end up and get involved in this war.

And the spies of Da Jin and Da Rong are estimated to have come to Shaluo City in secret.

It's going to be a mess.

Su Qi sighed, the camel team only stayed here for two days, I am afraid that the changes in Shaluo City will also break out in these two days, and the camel team will inevitably be involved, and his every move is estimated to affect the life and death of this camel team, and this trial is exactly what it is about.

But he couldn't understand at all, how could the struggle between the two empires be connected with this small camel caravan?

Su Qi looked up at the sky, it was almost the appointed time, he casually threw the wooden skewer into the trash can of the tea shop, and walked towards Xicheng.

There are seven squares in the north city of Salo, all of which are commercial squares, which gather eighty percent of the merchants in the city, and the west city gathers many wine shops and is the entertainment place in the city, the south city is the place where the locals of Sala live, and the east city is full of rich people in Saro, and the city lord's mansion and a few places dedicated to monks are also here.

As for the ten great cultivators, they were actually not in the city at all on weekdays, and all the affairs of the city were handled by the city lord they had designated.

The place where the camel team made an appointment is called Mingyue Restaurant, which is also famous in Salo City, the price is not low, it is almost the top few restaurants in Salo City, and it is best at making Salo's special dishes, Chu Dong feasts everyone here, it is estimated that it will cost a lot of silver taels, although Chu Dong is also very generous, but this time he chose this place, it is estimated that a large part of the reason is that this is the last time he runs with the team.

The ups and downs of decades of camel merchants will usher in an end.

When Su Qi arrived at Mingyue Restaurant, everyone else was already seated.

Chu Dong chose the private room by the window, he sat on the main seat, he didn't look happy, but a little worried, Gao Shen was chatting with Zhao Ming and Song Zhi about the famous Qinglou woman in the city, and when he saw Su Qi pushing the door in, he greeted him with a smile.

"It's so late, where are you going?"

Chen Chuchu held his chin, his eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and he said with a smile, "Shouldn't I go to buy rouge for someone?"

A burst of laughter.

Nangong Mo's face flushed slightly, and began to whisper a lesson to Chen Chuchu, the two women had obviously just been freshened, their hair was slightly damp, and there was a faint smell of vanilla on their bodies, Song Zhi patted the empty chair beside him, "Uncle Chu said that we were allowed to drink a cup of wine each at night! And it is Shaluo's specialty Thorn Wine! I only drank a small sip last time, but I miss that taste in my dreams!"

"Look at your unproductive appearance!" Zhao Ming on the other side of Song Zhi patted him on the shoulder with disgust, "What is the treasure of Shaluo City? It's a Shaluo woman!" He turned his head to look at Chu Dong, who was sitting on the main seat, and asked flatteringly, "Uncle Chu, when will you take us to Changle Pavilion to open your eyes!"

"Return Changle Pavilion ......" Gao Shen glared at him and replied for Chu Dong, "The taste is getting higher and higher!"

"I didn't have the money to go before. Zhao Ming scratched his head and laughed.

"If I can really take you around normally," Chu Dong shook his head with a smile, and seemed to have a slight regret, "But this time it won't work, be cautious, if this is not my last time running a business, maybe I won't even let you drink this wine." ”

Gao Shen and Zhao Ming glanced at each other, and even the Yuan brothers, who had been silently bowing their heads to drink tea, raised their heads, their faces slightly nervous.

Zhao Ming glanced at the closed door and lowered his voice, "We also heard something in the wine shop, Sha Luo is really going to have an accident?"

"Hmm," Chu Dong nodded, and he let out a long sigh, " When I sold the goods just now, I chatted with a few familiar local shopkeepers, and I heard that some rich people in Shaluo City have left, I am afraid that Dajin is really going south, and this time Shaluo City does not want to be alone, and will really participate in it, if it really fights, we camel merchants are the first unlucky, like our Chu word business is from a big face, the soldiers of Dajin see us, there is no doubt that they will take us to the knife, and when the war really starts, this trade route will not be able to run at all. ”

Everyone fell silent.

The camel merchant is such a business, he suffers hardships and makes money when the world is stable, and has no fixed place to live when the war is in chaos.

The so-called wind and rain drifting, this is the case.
