Although the process was a bit unexpected, the result was not bad, and Xiao Tie and the others entered the city smoothly.

As for whether those soldiers would keep Xiao Tie's affairs secret, it was unknown.

Entering the Scarlet Castle, the two found a decent place to live and stayed temporarily.

The next day, the coachman found out the situation of the Scarlet Castle for Xiao Tie.

This is Xiao Tie's routine, every time he goes to a place, he will search for various local characteristics, whether it is beautiful scenery or food, or even some anecdotes, he will collect some, these materials he has preserved, and at the same time, he can decide his next itinerary.

After eating the special breakfast of the Scarlet Castle and reading the information, Xiao Tie began to plan his itinerary in the Scarlet Castle.

"Well, this Scarlet Castle is really good, it looks like we can stay a few more days. ”

As a border fortress city, the Scarlet Fort is large and has a long history, and there are really many places that deserve his attention.

After the initial planning, Xiao Tie already had a plan.

A special occupation street, this is Xiao Tie's first goal, but this is his own statement, in fact, it is just a commercial street.

This condition is a bit special, and it can be regarded as a major feature of the Scarlet Castle.

Because of the prosperity of the Scarlet Castle, almost all the special professional associations that exist in this place are stationed, and the business of these special professional associations is basically on this street, and it can be said that anything can be bought on this street, and it is also the most prosperous place in the entire Scarlet Castle, and it is precisely because of this that this place can be regarded as a major feature of the Scarlet Castle.

And since he came here, Xiao Tie naturally wanted to go and see it first.

"My lord, there is a shopping street in front of you. ”

It took the two more than half an hour to come to the commercial street slowly, this is because they are relatively close to the commercial street, and the coachman pointed to the direction in front of which there were obviously more people to Xiao Tiedao.

Xiao Tie nodded slightly, looking around, this neighborhood is really very prosperous, people come and go, rubbing shoulders, and the prosperous commercial street in his previous life might as well be more: "Let's go, let's go and have a look." ”

Jade shops, gambling stone shops, clothing stores, restaurants, blade shops, etc., almost any store can be seen here, and many unpopular professional shops can also be seen here.

For example, carving shops, calligraphy and painting shops, spirit animal shops, etc.

Especially in the spirit beast shop, this thing Xiao Tie saw it for the first time, and couldn't help but go in and take a look.

But after reading it, Xiao Tie was disappointed.

It is said that it is a spirit animal, but in fact it is just a beast, and after being tamed, it is enslaved in a special way, so that these beasts exist as pets or are used for driving, and the top is used for flying, which is completely different from what he imagined.

He thought it was the kind of pet store that could help its owner fight.

But after thinking about it, this is also normal, there is no doubt that what can help a warrior fight, at least it must be a Warcraft, and Warcraft is not something that anyone can touch, let alone tame?

Maybe there will be a situation in this area in the future, but for the time being, this aspect is still very poor, and the real Warcraft-level pets that can help their owners fight are still only able to be enjoyed by a very small number of martial artists.

Next, almost every store that makes Xiao Tie feel new will go in and have a look.

However, in most cases, that is, leaving at a glance, there is not much that can attract Xiao Tie's attention at all.

Until Xiao Tie came to a blade shop opened by a foundry......

"Hey, what's going on in this shop?"

Xiao Tie looked up and found that this blade shop was a little weird, and the other shops were all coming and going, so it was not lively, but at the moment, this shop was ......

How to say it.

It's not that there are no customers, the point is that almost every customer who enters the store walks out in less than a minute, and most of them look depressed.

Curious, Xiao Tie entered it.

As far as the eye can see, this is a store that is no different from an ordinary store, but there is one thing that is different, this shop, obviously open, does not have any products at all, what is going on?

"My lord, it should have something to do with the recent war between the Dawu Empire and the Yuanyi Kingdom. ”

At this time, the coachman reminded him in a whisper.

Xiao Tie was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly said: "It's really possible." ”

Although Xiao Tie knew about this news, he obviously didn't care about it, and now that he was reminded by the driver, Xiao Tie also roughly understood.

Indeed, when the two countries are at war, the demand for resources is enormous, especially in this kind of border city.

At the time of the war, the blades, grain and grass, etc., that is the biggest consumption, no matter which country, once it is such a time, these aspects will be prepared in advance, the Scarlet Castle as a border city, is the most important of them, not to mention the preparations.

This explains why the guests who come in are frustrated.

However, there is another possibility......

"It's also possible to hoard goods so that you can make a lot of money when the time comes......"

However, Xiao Tie is too lazy to do this, his current situation is very special, although his strength stands at the peak of the first realm, and theoretically he can directly end this kind of war with his own strength, but it is precisely because of this that he is not good at interfering in this matter.

On the one hand, he doesn't want to pay attention to this aspect of things at all, he is not a saint, and he is not an idle man who is sympathetic to the world, and the leaders and high-ranking leaders of the two countries are not children, since they want to start a war, they naturally have to pay a relative price for the war, and he doesn't want to participate in this.

Second, his meddling is itself a destabilizing factor that upsets others.

After all, it is not good for him to help anyone, on the contrary, if he intervenes and stops the war from the neutral side, maybe neither side will be pleased, but because of his interference, everyone will hate him at that time, which is simply thankless, and there is another point, as a traverser, Xiao Tie is very clear, even if he really stops the war, this is only temporary, it is afraid of his strength, and once he is gone, this situation will inevitably happen again, but it will only delay for some time, let alone solve the problem, maybe the backlog of this situation will be even more terrible when it breaks out。

Shaking his head, these are too troublesome, Xiao Tie didn't bother to think about it, left the blade shop, continued to wander around, and subconsciously paid more attention to the other shops along the way, not unexpectedly, almost all the blade shops, as well as the shops related to the war, were not much different from the shop just now.

Although he had already decided in his heart that he would not interfere in this war, he didn't know why, Xiao Tie's heart was a little heavy.

He is not a saint, but he is not a god either, he has seven emotions and six desires, and he has his own feelings, and when he thinks that after the war breaks out, he doesn't know how many people will die in the war, and a sense of depression makes people a little breathless.

The mood is gone, and Xiao Tie doesn't want to continue shopping, so he plans to go back.

However, when he was about to go back, he couldn't help but stop with a loud noise.

"What's going on?" Xiao Tie frowned.

"My lord, do you want me to go and see it?" said the coachman.

Xiao Tie didn't have much, and nodded.

The coachman immediately squeezed into the crowd to inquire about the situation, and a moment later brought back the news.

"Mountain bandits?" Xiao Tie was stunned.

"Yes, my lord, I heard that the mountain bandits in this area have been extremely rampant recently, and there is news of their activities almost every day, and many business trips that come to the Scarlet Fort to do business have been robbed, and if you are lucky, you can pick up a life, but if you are unlucky, you can ...... it."

After a slight pause, the coachman cautiously glanced at Xiao Tie, and saw that Xiao Tie's expression remained unchanged, so he followed up and said: "I heard that just today, another group of caravans was robbed, and some caravans were captured, and they asked for a large ransom, so they ......."

"So someone is selling things here to raise ransom?" Without the coachman to continue, Xiao Tie had basically guessed the situation.

"Not bad......" the coachman nodded twitchingly.

Xiao Tie shook his head: "This is looking for death, if it is really a mountain bandit, paying the ransom will not solve the problem at all, but will make them more rampant, by the way, don't the people on the side of the Scarlet Castle deal with this situation?"

"My lord, I have inquired, the Scarlet Castle has sent people to clear it more than once, but the effect is ......"

Xiao Tie was helpless.

In fact, he also knew that in today's situation, there was really nothing the Scarlet Castle could do about such a thing as a mountain bandit.

Not to mention that the war is coming, the Scarlet Castle, as an important border with the Yuanyi Kingdom, must focus on preparing for war, and there is not much manpower to deal with those mountain bandits who are hiding in the mountains and constantly swimming, even if they can, in this chaotic world now, their little manpower is also a drop in the bucket for the mountain bandits who are constantly emerging and want to take the opportunity to make a fortune, killing a batch, and the second and third batches, it is impossible to contain it in a short time.

Presumably, the merchant traveler himself also knows this, and it is precisely because of this that the merchant travelers who were robbed this time raised their own ransom instead of asking for help from the official power of the Scarlet Castle.

"Go over and see. ”

After understanding these things in his heart, Xiao Tie planned to go over and take a look, although he didn't want to care about the big war, but now that he saw the matter in front of him, he didn't mind understanding the situation.

Of course, it's hard for him to decide whether to help or not, but he already has some ideas in his heart.

"Perhaps, I can not take care of the war, but there are some things that I can manage, it seems that since the establishment of the Martial Arts Alliance, the first mission can begin......"

Thinking so in his heart, Xiao Tie easily entered the crowd, and anyone who stood in the way around him was pushed away by an invisible force and automatically gave way to it.

It was an old man, embarrassed and emaciated, holding a sword, and was talking something incessantly.

"Everyone's good, as long as 30,000 taels of silver, this sharp weapon is yours, the old man is definitely not lying, this sword is a sharp weapon cast by the lord himself, you see, there is still the mark of the lord on it, it will never be fake, the old man only asks for 30,000 taels of silver to save the old master......"

Someone laughed.

"Haha, joke, what you say is the one who is the one? Isn't it just a low-grade weapon? At best, it's 20,000 taels of silver, but the lion asks for 30,000 yuan, old fellow, are you really stupid for us?"

"That's it, you said yes, I also said that this sharp weapon of mine is also the work of that adult, how about it, we are a high-quality treasure of sharp weapons, not more, I want you 300,000 taels, how about it?

"Hahahaha, this old man is really interesting, he can't be crazy about money, right?"

The old man's face turned pale, his lips trembled, but he couldn't say a word.

Oh, yes.

Although he himself knows very well the origin of the sword in his hand, but others don't know, and although the adult is known to the world, there are not many works revealed at all, there is no recognition, and naturally he can't distinguish its authenticity, the original price of 20,000 taels of silver is sky-high, and now he wants to sell it for 30,000, who will want it?

However, if there are no 30,000 taels, then your own master ......

The old man was desperate.

And just when these people were sneering and the old man was desperate for a while, no one noticed that in the crowd, a person's face was a little strange.

It's just that before the person could speak, a voice suddenly appeared, making the entire crowd instantly quiet.

"Huh, this sword...... Uncle, your sharp weapon is 30,000, no problem, I want it!"

Everyone looked towards the owner of the voice, and saw a large, ordinary-looking, but extremely shrewd-looking bald head walking out of the crowd.

"Look, I'm not dazzled, right? Isn't that the moon missing Lou Hong's steward? Why is he here?"

"It's him, that's right! I didn't expect him to come, didn't he say that he had been transferred to the headquarters of Yueqilou? Why did he come back again, and...... Wait, is that weapon real?"

The crowd was in an uproar!

"I know about Yue Qianlou, but what is the origin of this Hong Steward, why are you so surprised to see him?"

The driver took the opportunity to ask the people on the side.

"You don't know? The origin of this person is not simple! You should know about Yue Missing Building, right?"

The coachman nodded, what he knew, the only assassination organization on the surface of the Dawu Empire, the rules were very simple, they did not accept any task of assassinating the official forces of the Dawu Empire, they did not accept any task of assassinating good people, and in addition, any task was accepted, as for the good and bad, Yue Quanlou had their own set of rules, and they would distinguish it themselves.

This organization is extremely terrifying, not to mention anything else, just saying that even if it doesn't have to hide, it is not afraid of anyone's retaliation at all, and even the official power of the Dawu Empire cannot shake them, which can be seen.

And it is said that the ability of this organization's forces is even more terrifying, including the assassination of those big names of the Hidden World Sect, and so far, there has not been a single failure!

"It's good to know!" The man glanced at Steward Hong with a look of jealousy, and whispered, "Since you know the existence of Yue Que Lou, then, you should also know that Yue Que Lou has a classification of internal killings, right?

"What? He actually has a bloody killing order?" Rao was also startled by the chauffeur with extraordinary background.

Who in the world doesn't know the killer level of the moon lack building?

Iron Medal, Bronze Medal, Silver Medal, Gold Medal, Blood Kill Order!

This is the hierarchy of killers in this organization, that is to say, the blood killing order, on the surface, is already the most powerful killer!

And the one in front of him is a top killer with a blood killing order!

Of course, after all, the coachman has an extraordinary background, which is different from what ordinary people know, and he also knows that the blood killing order is actually not the most powerful, and it is rumored that in addition to the blood killing order, there are three king killers in Yueqilou, which is the real killer who is terrible to the extreme, even he dare not say that he can defeat any of them!

But Rao is like this, for the Hong steward, the coachman is also solemn all of a sudden!

"Wait, this sword, I've got a crush on it too!"
