Chapter 595: Stone City

Follow the caravan all the way to the so-called Stone City, which is about half a day's journey, of course, according to Hao Ren's own estimates, it is only about fifty miles.

The closer he got closer, the more people he saw, and finally, when he came to the gate of the stone city, Hao Ren saw the whole picture of the stone city, the city wall was more than three zhang high, there were hundreds of meters on the left and right, and on the city wall, there were soldiers standing at the gate of the city, looking at the crowd coming in and out with a serious face.

However, there was no identity verification, which is also what makes Hao Ren happy, otherwise, he and Da Niu probably have no place to live.

Entering the city, Hao Ren was separated from the caravan and looked around the city with the big ox, at this time, Hao Ren wanted to change his clothes, the clothes on their bodies were too dazzling here, and along the way, they were almost like monkeys being pointed at.

Fortunately, Hao Ren had planned to go to another world to find nine leaf clovers and pistachios before, so he also made some preparations, although it was not too comprehensive, but in his storage space, there were also a few catties of gold.

These gold are all in the form of small gold bars, and Hao Ren thinks that no matter which world, gold should be a common currency.

Taking out a piece of gold, Hao Ren came to a tailor's shop, the shop area was very large, and when he saw the gold in Hao Ren's hand, his face was even more enthusiastic.

After buying a few sets of suitable clothes, Hao Ren and Da Niu walked out of the store, and now they are wearing white costumes, like a young man in a turbid world, if they are paired with a white paper fan, they are a standard wanderer.

Da Niu is wearing a cyan power suit, which looks like a standard bodyguard, but the wound on his shoulder still needs to be treated, fortunately, Da Niu is a first-class martial artist, but he doesn't have to worry about getting infected or dying of excessive blood loss.

From the tailor shop, Hao Ren also knew the standard of currency circulation here, one tael of gold is ten taels of silver, one hundred yuan, and one thousand wen.

The four sets of clothes, all of which were made of high-quality materials, only cost three taels of silver.

And Hao Ren's gold bar is about five taels.

In a medical hall, Hao Ren asked a doctor to treat the wound of Da Niu, if it was changed in modern times, it was estimated that the police would come to interrogate it, but in modern times, it was just a plaster, and he swore that he would be cured in three or five days, and directly asked Hao Ren for two taels of silver.

"Are you two coming to Stone City for the first time?"

The two were walking on the road, and a man with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks stepped forward with a smile on his face, stopped the way of the two, and asked with a smile.

Hao Ren looked at the other party and asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”

"I don't think the two of them are locals, they were still dressed in fancy clothes when they entered the city before, I guess it should be the first time to come, let me introduce myself, I am Ma Liu, I am a native of Shicheng, and I know everything about everything in Shicheng, if you need to, I can provide some information."

The man smiled and said, "Of course, I can't give for nothing, and I have to take a little payment." ”

Hearing this, Hao Ren suddenly realized that this is the modern version of the intermediary.

In fact, he really needs such a person, so Hao Ren didn't hesitate, directly threw three taels of silver to the other party, and said flatly, "Tell us about the history of Shicheng, and find us a place to live by the way." ”

After receiving three taels of silver, Ma Liu's eyes were bright, knowing that he had met a big customer, and his mouth was about to crack to the root of his ears.

"It's good to say, it's good to say, the two masters come with me, and I'll take the two to the best inn in Stone City."

Saying that, Ma Liu diligently led the way in front, and told Hao Ren and them the history of Stone City by the way.

In fact, Hao Ren didn't care about the history of Stone City at all, he just wanted to get some useful information from the other party's story.

The result did not disappoint him, from Ma Liu's mouth, he knew a lot of information, the most important thing is that this stone city belongs to the East Departure Country.

It is considered the border of the East Departure Country, and the imperial court's control over this place is not very strong, and most of those soldiers are some local powerful organizations.

Shicheng does have a county order, but in fact it is useless, so it can only manage some ordinary people, and some local big families have something to do, and the county order does not dare to put one.

However, from Ma Liu's mouth, I know that although this place is very remote, it seems that martial artists are a very common phenomenon, and there are many second-rate martial artists in some local families.

You must know that this is just a remote county town in the East Leaving Country, and there are second-rate warriors, it is conceivable that if it is in some big cities, or even the national capital, there are more warriors and stronger.

Suddenly, Hao Ren saw a building with red lanterns, three big characters of "Caiyi Fang", and many women with heavy makeup and bright makeup greeted them warmly at the door.

Upstairs, men and women can be seen drinking, looking out from time to time.

"Two masters, this is the Caiyi Workshop, the girls inside are very iconic, if you are interested, you can go inside to play, it will definitely satisfy you."

Ma Liu, who was leading the way in front, looked at this scene and turned around and explained with a smile.

In ancient times, this kind of green house place was allowed.

Hao Ren smiled, none of the women around him were a hundred times stronger than the ones here, he hadn't been hungry and thirsty to this extent.

However, I can come and see it when I have time later.

Came to an inn, the inn is very large, people come and go, Ma Liu said attentively, "This is the best, it can definitely meet the needs of the two." ”

Hao Ren glanced at the name, Tongfu Inn.

The innkeeper was a middle-aged man, always with a smile on his face, when he saw Ma Liu, his eyes flashed, he stepped forward directly, and said with a smile, "Little Liuzi, are you bringing me a distinguished guest again?" ”

"Hehe, Boss Zhao, this is a really distinguished guest, you must treat it well."

Ma Liuyi smiled and whispered something in front of the other party's eyes, and when he heard this, Boss Zhao's eyes also lit up, and he immediately understood.

"You two, I have a good room here, please come in."

Boss Zhao said with a smile.

Hao Ren nodded lightly, he knew that Ma Liu would definitely have a kickback, but he didn't care about this money, at least they gave him the corresponding services.

Entering the inn, under the leadership of the shopkeeper, I entered a room on the second floor, the room was quite large, full of thirty square meters, but the things were extremely simple, no TV, no lights, and no sofa and toilet.

A wooden bed with a cushioned layer.

Hao Ren looked at the humble inn, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he found the corresponding materials and left immediately, it would be a crime to stay here for one more day.

Da Niu didn't care, but looked very comfortable, as if he had returned to the village.

The innkeeper also arranged a table of meals to come up, and his attitude was extremely courteous, Hao Ren and Da Niu were also hungry and began to eat, but as soon as he took the first bite, he spit out the things, looked at the innkeeper, and was a little angry, "Boss, are you here for people to eat?" No salt at all! ”

Seeing Hao Ren angry, Boss Zhao was also surprised, and hurriedly spoke, "Boss Hao, I have already put a lot of salt, and other customers have even less salt." ”

Hearing this, Hao Ren raised his eyebrows, how could he listen to the other party's meaning, salt seemed to be a precious and rare thing.

He pondered for a moment and asked tentatively, "What kind of salt do you have here, and how much is it a catty?" ”

Boss Zhao heard this, and smiled bitterly, "Boss Hao doesn't know, now most of the salt is under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and those of us who do business, if we want to get salt, we can only buy it from the government, not to mention a catty, one or two salts will cost one or two silver, and the quality is not very good." ”

With that, he went to the kitchen and brought in a piece of salt lump for Hao Ren, about the size of longan, crystalline, and extremely rough.

"This time I cooked for Boss Hao, I crushed a lot."

Boss Zhao said, and gave Hao Ren a gesture, probably like a small fingernail.

Hearing this, Hao Ren's eyes flashed, "Isn't there any fine salt?" ”

"Fine salt, that's something that can only be enjoyed by big people, where can ordinary people get it."

Boss Zhao smiled bitterly.

Hearing this, Hao Ren nodded, signaling that he understood, so Boss Zhao went out and did not disturb Hao Ren to continue dining.

Hao Ren's heart moved, and a bag of refined salt appeared in his hand, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, fortunately, he had a foresight before, thinking that if he came to the other world, he might be able to do some business, so all kinds of goods were prepared, including various condiments.

In this way, he is really witty.

Da Niu looked at the salt that appeared in Hao Ren's hand, and his eyes lit up, it was difficult for him to eat anything without salt taste, if it was before he entered the outside world of flowers, he could still accept it, but now, he couldn't accept it, just like a person who is used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, let him eat coarse tea and light rice, and he won't eat it at all.

Tear open a hole and pour salt into the dish, and when they eat it again, it tastes a lot better.

Of course, compared to modern five-star hotels, that's a lot worse.

However, Hao Ren is not so delicate, and it is good to be able to eat in this strange place.

After eating and drinking, Hao Ren asked Xiao Er to clean up, and then the two of them left the inn, walked around the city, came to a nearby bookstore, and found some books about leaving the country.

Back at the inn, Hao Ren studied it carefully, and in the books, Hao Ren systematically knew a lot of information about this place.

According to the book, the world he is in is called the Yuntian Continent, and no one knows how big it is, and Dongli Country is only a small country, less than two hundred years after its establishment.

Even so, the area of Dongli is as high as 90,000 square kilometers.

A province comparable to a modern one.

In this way, Hao Ren had a vague idea of the area of the Yuntian Continent.

Hao Ren also found a lot of interesting things from the book, such as some Jianghu sects and forces.

According to the book, Dongliguo's control over these forces is not as strong as imagined, and from time to time there will be news that a local county order has been killed by the Jianghu people, or a certain sect has rebelled and established itself as the king.

All in all, chaos, just like modern Syria, Hao Ren shook his head in his heart, feeling sad for the royal family who left the country.

But this has nothing to do with him, he doesn't care if he messes up or not, as long as he finds the nine leaf clover and pistachios, he will leave.

And in the inn, the shopkeeper quietly came to the shopkeeper, saying something in his ear, Boss Zhao heard this, his eyes were shocked, and he followed the other party to the back kitchen, saw Hao Ren's leftovers, and ate a bite of fish that had not been eaten, and his breathing was short.

"This thing is rotten in my stomach, and no one is allowed to say it."

Boss Zhao said in a deep voice, and the shopkeeper nodded hurriedly, knowing the importance of the matter.
