With the addition of the three thousand iron cavalry led by Huo Siya, Jiang Chen and his more than 1,000 shadow guard sergeants were surrounded in the middle for protection, Huo Siya led the group to march to the front of the entire team, but Jiang Chen was in the middle of the team, so the whole team entered the boundary of the thirteen states of the Southern Regions later in the day.

There was very little communication between Jiang Chen and Huo Siya, and he didn't say a few words for a few days, but with the protection of more than 3,000 people led by Huo Siya, Jiang Chen relaxed, and stopped riding horses, resting in a rather luxurious carriage prepared by Huo Siya with the army, cultivating, or playing with the dogs.

The thirteen states of the Southern Regions are the places where the King of Taiding has been for many years, not only the soldiers are strong and strong, but also very prosperous, and even compared to the power center of the Han and Tang Dynasties, Zhongzhou is not far behind, and the King of Taiding, Jiang Wuheng, himself has been stationed on the front line for a long time, and has repeatedly thwarted the offensive forces of the Hundred Sects Alliance and the Holy See, and his prestige in the thirteen states of the Southern Regions is even comparable to that of Emperor Jiang Wuling.

After a few days of trekking, everyone finally arrived at their destination, Cangzhou. This is the only province in the Han and Tang Empire bordering the alliance of hundred sects, King Taiding deployed heavy troops in Cangzhou, reaching as many as 800,000, and the world's first male pass Longwang Pass is also three hundred miles outside Cangzhou, to Cangzhou City, the capital of Cangzhou, Jiang Chen and his shadow guard soldiers will disguise themselves as caravans and other caravans, enter the land of Hundred Sects to reach the country of Aolai to carry out their mission.

A few months later, Jiang Liuyun, one of the three princes, would also enter the land of the hundred sects through Cangzhou under the escort of 10,000 Janissary Tiger Ben troops.

The geographical location of Cangzhou is very important, if you want to attack the hinterland of the Han and Tang Dynasties from the land of the hundred sects, you must take Cangzhou, otherwise you can only borrow the Holy See, although the land of the hundred sects and the holy church are allies against each other against the Han and Tang dynasties, but it is only a mutual use relationship, and the price paid is unwilling to bear by the land of the hundred sects, so the land of the hundred sects has also deployed heavy troops here, the number is more than double that of the Han and Tang dynasties, reaching 1.6 million, but because the people of the thirteen states of the southern region are Jiang Wuheng, the king of Taiding, who has the name of the god of war, no matter how many troops there are, the hundreds of sects led by the seven holy gates of the land of the hundred sects have never dared to cross the thunder pool half a step。

Huo Siya led his three thousand iron horsemen to send Jiang Chen and more than a thousand shadow guard soldiers to a dense forest fifty miles away from Cangzhou City, and then left, and the rest was Jiang Chen and their shadow guards. Before Huo Siya left, Jiang Chen handed over all the military horses and heavy armaments to Huo Siya to take away, and Jiang Chen and those shadow guard soldiers were lightly armed and simple, and scattered into Cangzhou City alone, from now on they have to be careful and careful, this Cangzhou City does not know how many spies in the land of hundreds of sects are lurking, so if they can not attract attention, try not to attract attention, so as not to cause trouble.

More than 1,000 shadow guard sergeants will enter Cangzhou City in several batches in two days, and at this time, Jiang Chen and Li Mu are walking on the official road to Cangzhou City, only the two of them.

Jiang Chen was wearing a white samurai uniform, his hair was not tied, and his long hair was scattered and fluttering in the wind, which invisibly added a bit of debauchery and wildness to Jiang Chen's domineering momentum. Jiang Chen walked on the road with the sheathed Seven Star Dragon Yuan in hand, and the passers-by around him always kept looking at Jiang Chen with their eyes. Wherever people like Jiang Chen are placed, they are the kind of existence that cannot be ignored.

Second, Li Mu gave a cloak with a hat on his body, and a steel long sword with a sheath in his hand, which was quite a taste of a ranger.

Although Cangzhou City, as the capital of a state, is far less majestic than the eastern capital in the center of the empire, it is still very prosperous, the city wall is as high as seven or eight zhang, the mahogany city gate is three feet thick, the city gate is full of pedestrians, caravans and soldiers are of all kinds, hundreds of soldiers wearing black armor and holding halberds stand on both sides of the city gate, watching the pedestrians coming and going.

The two walked into Cangzhou City along the city gate, looking at all kinds of hurried pedestrians around, and the merchant caravans shuttling back and forth, as well as the bustling street scene in Cangzhou City. As the envoy of Beizhen, Li Mu was naturally very familiar with this place, and he said to Jiang Chen: "Childe, you should be unfamiliar with this place. ”

Jiang Chen nodded, he has lived in Situ Chuan for nearly ten years, although Jiang Chen knows about family affairs, state affairs, and world affairs, but he has not seen it with his own eyes, Jiang Chen is far from being familiar with the world, at most, it can only be called a matter of the world, and he knows some more or less.

Jiang Chen came to a stall on the side of the street where he bought sugar gourds, where a teenage girl was struggling to sell, picked up two strings of Tan snorr and said to Li Mu: "Cangzhou City is the only province bordering the land of the Hundred Sects of the Empire, and it is a place where soldiers must fight for it since ancient times, and it borders the alliance of the Hundred Sects, the Holy See and the Manchus, and the commerce and trade are extremely developed, and the merchants of all parties are unimpeded here, the medicinal materials of the barbarians, the demon beast Neidan, the minerals and spiritual grass of the land of the Hundred Sects, and the medical drugs of the Holy See are all needed by our Han and Tang Dynasties. And the silk, handicrafts, and porcelain of our Han and Tang dynasties also made them flock to it, in short, because of the economic and trade prosperity of Cangzhou, whether it was our empire or the barbarians, the Hundred Sects Alliance or the Holy See, they all made a lot of money, and each took what he needed. ”

Li Mu took the money and paid it to the child who sold the sugar gourd, and touched her little head by the way, and paid her a few more copper plates, and the girl thanked her again and again. Then Li Mu took a string of sugar gourds handed to him by Jiang Chen, took a bite, and experienced the sweet and sour taste, Li Mu said: "The prosperity of commerce is only superficial, in fact, there is a lot of darkness hidden under the prosperity of Cangzhou, and Gongzi must have heard of it." ”

Jiang Chen took down a sugar gourd, teased the dog leftover who poked his head out of Jiang Chen's placket with the sugar gourd as he walked, sighed and said: "Isn't this the case in the border cities and the places that are plugged in the borders? I'm afraid that no one will easily believe that the businessmen in the past are all serious businessmen who are simply doing business." ”

Jiang Chen scanned the surroundings with his eyes as he spoke, the return rate of the two in this city was still very high, especially Jiang Chen's luxurious and mighty momentum was not reflected by the princes and nobles, and even the incense car passing by lifted the curtain, and the girl waiting for the boudoir inside secretly looked at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen just shook his head in this regard, and he was already unimpressed.

"Childe doesn't know, do you know one thing?" Li Mu suddenly asked Jiang Chen at this time.

"What's the matter?" Jiang Chen asked lightly.

"Three years ago, the Celestial Star fell in the Glowing Confusion. Li Mu knocked on the head of the little dog leftover in Jiang Chen's clothes, causing the dog leftovers to be dissatisfied for a while.

Hearing Li Mu's question, Jiang Chen frowned slightly, and just wanted to answer, but saw Li Mu cover his mouth and nose with his light hand. And Jiang Chen also felt that his chest was wet and hot, and a foul smell also came out of Jiang Chen's clothes.

Jiang Chen looked at the innocent dog leftover in his arms, and said expressionlessly: "!"
