It is said that the Blood Castle that Su Betsu cooperated with the people of the Hanging Lantern Temple to attack at that time was not far from this Trench Castle. But I don't know much about it, and now I want to break my head, and I don't have any other impressions.

The horses galloped in good spirits, and the flying snow splashed on the frame. Fu Yunge tightened the brim of his hat, as if he had seen the outline of the Trench City.

Looking at the gloomy sky, Fu Yunge knew that today's night would not be far away. Luckily, I was able to arrive before the night came, and I was able to sleep soundly tonight.

…………

The horses settled into Trench City, and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. However, what Fu Yunge didn't expect was that the Trench City was much bigger than he imagined. Due to the scarcity of castles in the mountainous plateau, the moat city can be regarded as the first transportation hub into the north, so it occupies a vast area.

Although it is heading north, it is not too far north, so there are no obvious characteristics of life for the residents of the city. The thick snow accumulates on the eaves of each house, and it looks exceptionally warm.

It was getting late, Fu Yunge found a place to rest, bolted the horse and entered the store to rest. Probably because it was still a New Year's holiday, the store was not busy at this time, only a few pairs of people who seemed to be merchants were sitting around.

The shop blanched the crimson cooked meat and cut it into a plate, and added a few side dishes to serve to Fu Yunge. Fu Yunge was not in a hurry, he enjoyed the food slowly and methodically, thinking about the matter of the Hundred Bitter Blood Lotus in his heart.

If it is the land of the Arctic Ice Storm, it is closer to walk from here than to walk to the desert. However, the northern snow desert is deep and vast, and it would be great if you could find the wolf dust.

It has been a long time since the last separation. I don't know if he has returned to the snow desert, it would be good if I could see him, and I could say good New Year to him.

Just as Fu Yunge put the last piece of meat in his mouth, he heard a few faint happy voices walking outside the door.

"Hey, I'm going to make a fortune this year."

A few people next to him echoed with a smile, and some of them agreed with their eyebrows: "If this batch of transactions can be done, our brothers will all soar." ”

"Gou Fugui, don't forget! Hahaha! ”

The arrival of these people brought a little cheerful air to the quiet store, and Fu Yunge did not hate it. And now, once he hears something about business, he can't help but care.

So he didn't rush back to his room, wanting to hear what else they could talk about.

"Brother Cheng, give us some good food this time, warm a pot of rice wine!" A few of them walked straight to the counter and shouted to the shopkeeper they were familiar with.

Under the yellow and clear lights, there were swaying smug figures of several people, and the boss surnamed Cheng followed out with a smile on his face: "What good thing did you guys encounter, come to me for a drink today?" ”

"It's a good thing, it's a good thing anyway." One of the people behind clapped his hands and shouted, "Old Cheng, you are one step too late, otherwise you can make a fortune." ”

Lao Cheng scratched his scalp and beckoned them to sit down: "I have a thin scalp, how can I make a fortune." ”

"The scalp is thin, and what I owe is for outsiders to use their methods to open the light!" The leader sat down arrogantly, slapped the table and looked at Lao Cheng's scalp: "These outsiders have good ways to make you money, God knows what they have in their heads!" ”

When Fu Yunge heard this, his face had already changed color.

Really...... It turned out to be those foreign merchants again.

Unexpectedly, their hands had already reached here, and such a speed was beyond expectations.

"Outlander?" Lao Cheng turned around, "I also saw it yesterday, from the street." What do they do? ”

"Where did we think about this before?" The leader said, "We planted snow lilies before, that is, we simply relied on the sky to eat. But when this group of people came, they told us that they had visited the places where we sold snow lilies, and the real money was to process snow lilies and sell ready-made medicines. ”

"They said that they had already negotiated with the big processors over there, and they also got the secret recipe for processing, and came to our place to process and sell them themselves. Uniting the surrounding retail households, making a collective farm, planting and processing together, they are responsible for transporting goods out, but the price of harvesting snow lilies has tripled! ”

Because it was Brother Chen who took the lead in talking, it seemed that the outsiders were also very satisfied, saying that they were going to build the first field in the Trench City, so that Brother Chen could do something...... Explorer! Others said, "Because processing also needs people, they asked Brother Chen to publicize it, and let the idle old women and girls go to do this job together - the salary is still a lot of miles!" ”

A group of people gossiped, and Fu Yunge probably understood. The so-called business logic, he is naturally not very thorough, but he is indeed shrewd enough.

Naturally, the purpose of this group of businessmen is not to do charity, but with his thinking, he still doesn't understand what they are planning. It would be fine if it was just for their own benefit, but he always felt that it was not that simple.

He didn't have the heart to listen to the rest of the words, and his ears seemed to be full of noise. Turning back to his room, his voice gradually faded away from him.

Fu Yunge was a little sleepless all night, in addition to the apprehension of looking for the Hundred Bitter Blood Lotus, he also had the worry of the undercurrent surging in the Nether Heaven.

Early in the morning, he packed up and went out, and the slopes outside were still dark. Finding the horses, he set off to gently break the silence of the moat.

Walking outside the city, the road ahead was full of pine forests. The black pressure is like a samurai, and the road surface is difficult to see.

After galloping on horseback for a while, the sky still did not brighten, but the road became more and more difficult. During the period, several forks in the road, Fu Yunge confirmed it again and again, and only then did he identify the most rugged and narrow one, and some of them had even been buried by the snow and did not cross the horse's knee.

After all, who would go straight into the snow desert like themselves. Fu Yunge smiled bitterly, looking at the horses that were getting slower and slower, he simply jumped down, and while sweeping the snow in front of him with a picked branch, he walked slowly with the horse.

The air was still cold, but it didn't take long for Fu Yunge to sweat a little. The dampness on the outside of his skin and the cold on the inside made him uncomfortable, but he didn't know how long the difficult road was, so he could only hope that the sky would soon light up and not be so dark.

After walking for a while, Fu Yunge and Ma were a little tired. The surroundings were a little brighter, but the valley was covered with pine forests, making it difficult for light to let in.

He simply sat down at last, leaning against an old root. The horse swayed the snow from its body and stood silently aside. The wheezing voices of people and horses are very faint.

Fu Yunge patted the snow boredly with the branch in his hand and looked up at the sky.

Walking alone in this way, although it is anxious, there is a feeling of loneliness. The surroundings were clear, uninhabited, and even the sound seemed to freeze, buried in pine forests and snow.

"Whirring ......"

Fu Yunge was stunned for a moment. Just as he got up to leave, he found the horses with their necks cocked, as if they had heard something other than them.
