Chapter 69: The Jade Bag Pass

Three hundred miles to the west of the city is the famous Yubao Pass.

It is a huge town with a population of more than 100,000 people, and although it is not comparable to the status and bustle of the city, it is also one of the largest towns in the area.

The terrain of the entire Yubaoguan is quite strange, like a huge pocket surrounded by mountains, and if you look down from the top of the mountain, this feeling becomes even stronger.

It is precisely because of such a strange and peculiar terrain that this place is called Yubaoguan.

The journey of three hundred miles is indeed a long way for ordinary people, but in the eyes of the three Zheng Haotian brothers, it is nothing more than that.

After leaving Dalin Village, the three brothers first secretly went to Wanjia Village and delivered some medicinal herbs and more precious mountain goods collected from the forest to Wanyu.

Since Wanyu was unwilling to leave the home where she lived, Lin Ting had no choice but to send some things to her every once in a while, saving her time to go into the mountains to collect medicinal herbs, and at the same time avoiding the dangerous situation she encountered when she entered the mountains.

Although Wanyu is a woman, the people in the mountains are not the kind of weak people who are powerless. As long as she doesn't go into the mountains, then she will be enough to protect herself.

Along the way, the three brothers talked and laughed, this was the first time they had left Dalin Village so far, and they were naturally quite excited in their hearts.

Although they have gone into the mountains many times, they are two completely different things from going out to hunt and going out to buy. They didn't need to be as scared as they were in the mountains, but they relaxed and purely regarded this outing as a rare trip.

Outside the Yubao Pass, the three brothers couldn't help but be amazed.

The peaks here are tall and majestic, especially the gray layers of cliffs, which jut out into the clear blue sky like wolf teeth.

Although it also belongs to the foot of Bear Wolf Mountain, the mountains here have a different taste compared to Dalin Village.

"It's better to travel thousands of miles than to read 10,000 books, and what Daddy said is true. Zheng Haotian shook his head and said: "The customs and landforms of various places are different, and I can't imagine that just three hundred miles away, it is a different world." ”

Yu Weihua's body trembled, and he bared his teeth and said, "You don't pretend to be poor here, who doesn't know who." ”

Lin Ting laughed loudly, looking at Zheng Haotian's eyes full of ridicule.

Zheng Haotian rolled his eyes repeatedly, but after half a sound, the three of them entered this huge pass with laughter.

A city wall of more than five zhang high was built at the Yubao Pass, and the thickest part of the city wall was even as high as about two zhang. Although the scale of this kind of city wall is not comparable to that of Xicheng, it is one of the few mountains thousands of miles away from this Bear Wolf Mountain.

At the gate of the city, a pair of soldiers stood solemnly, and they looked coldly at the passers-by.

These soldiers were all bright-eyed, and the armor on their bodies was new and bright, shining dazzlingly in the sunlight.

Lin Ting's footsteps were abrupt, and he said softly: "It's not right. ”

Zheng Haotian was slightly stunned and said, "What's wrong?"

Yu Weihua pulled him and said, "Haotian, you have also been to Luxi City, how are the soldiers there?" ”

Zheng Haotian thought for a while and said, "Well-trained, although not everyone meets the standard of a hunter, it is not far behind. ”

Yu Weihua nodded slowly and said, "Look at these soldiers." ”

Zheng Haotian stared, carefully observed for a while, and said: "Very strong, they are better than the city gate guards in Xixi City." Speaking of this, he also suddenly realized.

The city is the true overlord at the foot of the Bear Wolf Mountain, and the quality of the soldiers there is definitely the best. However, in comparison, the gatekeepers of Yubaoguan seem to be even higher, which is a little abnormal.

Not only that, the soldiers here are all energetic, and their bodies seem to have inexhaustible energy, which is very different from the ordinary soldiers defending the city.

"Don't worry about that, let's go inside. Lin Ting pondered for a moment and said in a low voice: "After entering, don't make a show, don't provoke right and wrong, it is estimated that there are some big people in the city." ”

Zheng Haotian nodded slowly, his heart sighed secretly, although Lin Ting and Yu Weihua could not compare to themselves in the cultivation of martial arts, they were a few years older after all, and they had also traveled some places with Uncle Yu. In these subtle insights, you are much better than yourself.

At this point, he truly realized the true meaning of the sentence that reading 10,000 books is not as good as traveling 10,000 miles.

The three of them followed the team into the city to the city gate, their dress was very different from ordinary people, just the mace on Zheng Haotian's back was already quite eye-catching.

At the gates of the city, the three of them took out the Hunter's Waist Card at the same time.

A hint of surprise flashed on the guard at the door, and his eyes turned around Zheng Haotian's body a few times, as if he was quite suspicious of his age. However, after a few turns of the gaze on the terrifying mace, it finally retracted.

"The three of you are participating in the ring, do you know the way?" asked a soldier leader coldly.

Zheng Haotian and the three of them looked at each other, Yu Weihua clenched his fists slightly, and said, "Master Jun, we are here to purchase some spot-tailed sandpipers, not to participate in the competition." ”

The leader of the soldiers shook his head and said, "It's a pity, the rewards for this competition are quite generous, as long as you enter the top eight, you will be able to get a hundred taels of silver." You're all hunters, and it's a shame not to try your luck. ”

Yu Weihua and Lin Ting were both excited.

One hundred taels of silver, this is not a small amount, especially for half-sized children like Yu Weihua and Lin Ting, it is definitely a temptation that they can't refuse.

"Master Jun, what kind of martial arts competition is that, and where is it held?" asked Yu Weihua with bright eyes.

The sergeant leader smiled slightly and said, "This is the ring competition held by the Qiu family in Yubao Pass, which is open to all non-military people, as long as they have confidence in themselves, they can participate." Once you get good grades, there are unexpected benefits. If you can get the first place, hehe...... That's a reward of three hundred taels of silver. ”

This time, even Zheng Haotian was a little moved.

Although he came this time, he carried five hundred taels of silver tickets, and his private money was as much as two thousand taels. But no one has a grudge against money, and the more stuff there is, the better.

As if sensing their intentions, the leader of the soldiers enthusiastically pointed in the direction of the ring, making the three of them grateful.

After leaving the city gate, Yu Weihua let out a sigh of relief and said, "I understand, these soldiers are from the Qiu family. ”

The city lord of the city is also one of the four major forces, and the army he controls is definitely the most powerful of the four forces. However, the Qiu family also has a certain say in the army, and the real masters of some of the troops are not actually city lords.

This situation is not surprising, if the other three major forces do not have an army that can command as much as their arm, then they are not qualified to be called the four major forces like the city lord.

Lin Ting's eyes flashed, and he said, "No matter what force they belong to, we have decided to win the prize money for this competition." ”

Yu Weihua rolled his eyes, gently touched his partner with his shoulder, and said with a smile: "You want to save money for your daughter-in-law?"

Lin Ting glared at him angrily, but acquiesced.

Zheng Haotian disturbed his head, he knew Lin Ting's temper, if he gave him two thousand taels of private money, then he would not accept it no matter what. However, if it is the bounty he gets from fighting, then there is no problem.

"I'm in favor. He smiled and said, "I haven't seen what a fight looks like, and it's good to open your eyes." ”

Yu Weihua hesitated for a moment and said, "But the Qiu family set up a ring here, I'm afraid it also has the intention of recruiting talents." If we go up and fight, if we lose, it's fine, but if we win, what will we do?"

Lin Ting opened his mouth and smiled, and said: "Anyway, we are not from the Jade Bag Pass, if we win, we will run, are we afraid that we will be chased to the bottom of the matter." ”

Yu Weihua smiled dumbly, the three brothers glanced at each other, and at the same time roared, running in the direction of the ring.

If the three of them are people who have lived in the Jade Bag Pass for a long time, then they have to think about whether to compete in the ring. But since it's a passerby, there's not much to worry about.

In a few moments, they had already passed through the small half of the town, and came to a large field specially opened up in a corner of the town.

When they arrived, their fighting spirit, which had been full of confidence, suddenly weakened a little.

In this field, at least thousands of people have gathered. These people are sturdy, their eyes are attentive, and there is a fierce smell in their gestures.

The eyes of several of them were obviously much brighter than ordinary people, which was a clear feature that had already cultivated a trace of true qi.

Although their cultivation has not yet reached the point where their true qi is released to hurt the enemy, it is definitely not to be underestimated.

The faces of the three brothers became solemn at the same time, no one could have imagined that a mere Yubaoguan ring competition would attract so many characters to participate.

The periphery of the field was even more crowded, but those people were obviously residents of Yubaoguan. They didn't dare to enter, they just waited on the periphery to watch the excitement.

Exchanging glances with each other, Lin Ting gritted his teeth, but still strode forward and walked into the field, followed by Yu Weihua and Zheng Haotian.

The entry of the three of them didn't cause any waves, but the eyes of a few people nearby who looked at Zheng Haotian's back mace were a little more vigilant.

"Boom ......"

A loud gong suddenly sounded from the ring in the center of the ring, and everyone's eyes looked up at this moment.

ps: Ask for a recommendation ticket, thank you......
