Chapter 149: The Land of White Water (Part II)
Tu Ge and his party advanced in the forest for a short time, but the forest did not fight, and they walked out of the forest in less than an hour. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Brother Tu, look ahead!" Jiuge shouted as he pointed not far away.
Following the direction of Kuge's finger, Tug saw a huge city crawling on the ground like a wild beast. "Finally seeing the crowd, Miss Ben thought she was going to spend the night in the forest tonight!" Hu Tao glanced at Tu Ge and breathed a sigh of relief.
"What do you see me doing when you speak?"
"Don't be narcissistic, we can go quickly! It's been so long, my stomach is hungry! Do you see the lady hungry?" Hu Tao said anxiously.
"Tuge, let's separate for the time being!" Kawana said in a low voice as she slowly approached Tuge.
"Kawana, what are you?" Tu Ge asked puzzled, looking around, "Do you have anything important to do?"
"Commander Zhu Qinan has instructed me, I must be careful when entering the second layer of purgatory, after all, we are not familiar with the place, not to mention the terrain, the city, the population, and the folk customs here, I have to explore it carefully!" Kawanai said, pointing to this piece of forest. According to the topography here, it can be used as an ambush, and later the place where Magkuri was encamped, after all, there is a city not far away.
"Okay, be careful, then!" Tugg nodded.
"Hey, Brother Tu, what are you two talking about? Hurry up, you're all at the back of the line!!Wait a minute, I'll leave you alone!!" Jiuge, who was walking with Hu Tao in front, waved his hand.
Puzzled, he saw that Tu Ge was the only one who came, and Kawana was going in the other direction, "What's wrong with Kawana? Why did you leave?" asked Kuka, "Don't you come with us?"
"People are not idlers like you!" Hu Tao glanced at Jiuge and explained for Tuge, "People have important tasks to do!"
"Hu Tao is right, such a good place, we naturally want to take it!" Tuge said, looking up at the clear blue sky.
"Brother Tu, is this true, and this place will belong to us?"
"Believe me, we can definitely go back!" Turge's serious expression made Jiuge determined, he had always believed in Turge, whether it was Seremig or Ma Shoudan, it was just a simple tempering for Turge, and here, the second layer of purgatory was the real battlefield of Turge.
"What are you talking about?" said Hu Tao, confused.
After Kawana left, there were only three people left in the team, Tuge, Kukaku, and Hu Tao.
Leaving the forest and walking on the wide avenue, "Why are there so many homeless people here?" Hu Tao couldn't help frowning as he looked at the ragged beggars begging along the road. Even among the homeless people, there are many still infant mothers, who look at Tu Ge and the others with hopeful eyes. "Please do well, give me some money! I haven't eaten in many days!" a yellow-faced and thin-skinned old woman held a broken bowl in her hand, and begged the three Tuge with a sad face. There are many such refugees, and the avenue is lined up, which is simply fleeing, and the city gate not far away is to stop these refugees, and even many people in gorgeous clothes turn a blind eye to the starvation on the roadside, and even have a face full of disgust, punching and kicking and scolding and calling them stinky beggars. Zhumen's wine and meat stinky road has frozen bones, which perfectly interprets this.
And Tu Ge was expressionless, but the seventeen or eighteen-year-old Hu Tao couldn't bear it, and was about to throw the other party a gold coin, but Tu Ge was immediately stopped.
"What are you doing? do you want to kill us?" Turg glared at the other and scolded.
"What are you talking about? Cold-blooded, didn't you see your aunt and grandmother I'm saving people?" Hu Tao looked puzzled, thinking that his actions were just acts of kindness.
"Hu Tao, listen to Brother Tu! Don't act rashly!" Jiu Ge also had a cold face and stood on Tu Ge's side.
"For ...... Why?"
"Even if you save one, can you save everyone?"
"But saving one counts as one!" Hu Tao still didn't understand Tu Ge's thoughts, thinking that Tu Ge was really a cold-blooded and ruthless person.
"If you really think so, please go back to Ma Shoudan now! Tu Ge's face sank and he said coldly.
"Hu Tao, have you forgotten how you agreed before?" Seeing that the atmosphere was not quite right, Jiuge immediately acted as a peacemaker on the side, "Brother Tu, you are really, don't use such a fierce expression to girls! After all, Hu Tao ..... her"
Hu Tao's face was ugly, biting his lower lip slightly, his expression was about to cry, he lowered his head, even Jiu Ge thought that the other party would definitely cry and make trouble, but he didn't expect that in the next second, Hu Tao suddenly smiled brightly, "Do you think I'm going to cry? Then you really underestimate me!"
Tu Ge breathed a sigh of relief, originally afraid that Hu Tao would continue to mess around.
"Let's go, let's go into the city!" said Kugati, who had a heart in his throat. After waiting for Jiuge and Hu Tao to leave, Tu Ge glanced around, and while no one was paying attention, he squatted down, soiled the gold coin, and put it in the old woman's pocket. While the old woman didn't notice it, she left immediately.
The three of them continued to walk forward, and came to the gate of the city, looking at the heavily guarded guards, and everyone who entered the city had to be investigated one by one.
"Stop, you guys have to pay ten gold coins when you enter the city!" the soldiers on guard stopped Tu Ge and the others and scolded loudly.
Tu Ge didn't say anything, immediately threw ten gold coins at the other party, and then led the three of them into the city with their heads held high.
"Wait!" the soldier suddenly called out to the three Tugs.
"What's wrong?" said Jiuge with a frown, looking at the soldier, and a proud expression.
"Why haven't I seen these gold coins before, which city are you from?" The soldier looked at the patterns on the gold coins over and over again, looked at the three Tuge, and asked with a strange expression, the gold coins of the country of white water are not like this, could it be that the people of which city minted these gold coins by themselves? ?
When Jiuge heard this, he immediately pressed the hilt of the Blue Sand Battle Knife, and Hu Tao also made a fighting posture.
Tu Ge pressed the hand that Jiuge wanted to draw the knife and shook his head slightly at Jiuge and the others.
"Can you show me? Maybe the lines are a little flowery. Tu Ge's heart moved, he took back ten gold coins, looked at them pretendedly, and then returned them to the other party.
"What does it matter? Brother, you see, it's all gold, and since all white horses are horses, don't you say that black horses aren't horses?" Tug patted the man on the shoulder, and quietly put his hand in his pocket, and rubbed his fingers to polish away the pattern of the gold coin engraved with Magukriro. He then stuffed the soldier with a few additional gold coins that had been used as bribes.
"That's right!" no one who didn't love money immediately took it back with a smile. After leaving a few Tuge. The soldier felt that something was wrong, so he took out Tu Ge's previous gold coin again and looked at it, and found that the original pattern was gone, so he immediately wiped his eyes, looked in the direction Tu Ge left, and secretly wondered if it was his own hallucination.
"Brother Tu, just now!"
"It's okay, I'm careless, the pattern on the gold coin minted in Magkuk is different from the pattern here! Let's find a place to rest first! Find someone to ask about the basic situation here!" Tu Ge said in a deep voice.
"There's an inn there, we can go there!" said Hu Tao, pointing to a very eye-catching and luxurious restaurant not far away.
Tu Ge pretended not to see it, chatted with Jiuge to himself, and hung Hu Tao aside and stared dryly.
"You!hmph!" Hu Tao snorted dissatisfiedly.
The three of them found an inconspicuous inn to live in, only two people inside and out, a typical mom-and-pop shop, Tu Ge three people just lived in one room, Tu Ge three people sat on the table and simply ordered some food, at this time a little two brought the food, "Shopkeeper, I want to ask you something! You answer me, the money is all yours!" Tu Ge carried a bag of gold coins in front of the shopkeeper and deliberately made the sound of gold coins crashing.
"Oh, officer, if you have anything to ask, just ask casually, I know at a glance that you look like a rich and noble person!"
"Where is this?"
"This?" The shopkeeper didn't expect three gods of wealth to come today, not only did they make a generous move, but they also chartered the entire inn, but this question is a bit idiotic.
"Why? You don't know that? It seems that you don't want to make all this money?
The shopkeeper suddenly came to his senses, and clearly let himself make money, "Oh! Guest officer, I was really laughed at by you, who doesn't know here, it's the country of white water, I don't know which city a few people are from?"
"How many cities are there?" asked Tug as he continued.
The shopkeeper was a little dumbfounded, this is also a problem? If it weren't for the money, he really wanted to wonder if the other party's brain was broken??"Dude, my brother just likes to spend a lot of money, it's so interesting!hahaha....... We are local tyrants!Do you understand?," Jiuge immediately chimed in. Watching Tu Ge and Jiuge sing and harmonize, Hu Tao couldn't help but roll his eyes.
The shopkeeper stiffened with laughter, it was right to be rich, but I had never seen someone deliberately make money for others.
"There are six cities here, each ......" The shopkeeper also simply told all the things he knew, anyway, he was sure that the other party was the kind of owner who liked to throw money. The shopkeeper, who had received the gold coins, hid behind them, looked at the gold coins with his wife, blew on them, and then put them to his ears and listened to the buzzing sound.
"These are all gold coins from Heyang City, and Heyang City likes to mint these gold coins without patterns!" or the shopkeeper's wife, who was well-informed, immediately told the source of the gold coins. The shopkeeper was immediately relieved when he heard this, the minting of Heyang is famous all over the world, even the gold coins, and they don't even need too many patterns to decorate. And Heyang City is also one of the richest cities in the country of white water, and even Qingyuan City, which is comparable to the imperial capital.
"A few guest officers, it turns out that they are from the famous Heyang City!" said the shopkeeper with a red face.
"How do you tell?" said Tu Ge deliberately, holding down Kukaku who wanted to explain.
The shopkeeper repeated what his wife said before, and Tu Ge and the others, who listened, nodded again and again, glanced at Hu Tao and Jiuge, and exchanged ideas with each other, but they didn't expect to hit it crookedly.
