Chapter 11: The Caravan Makes It Difficult

When Mu Fang woke up from his coma, the carriage had already arrived at Andy Pass, and only he and an old man with fairy wind bones were left in the carriage.

"Young man, how about experiencing death for the first time? Does it feel real? ”

The system searched in the past, this person's name was Bell, a Taoist priest, and his familiar mosaic appeared in the rank column.

Why do you go further out, the more masters there are?

"Senior Bell, I don't know if death has any effect on the cultivation of characters?" The shepherd rose from the ground, still a little weak.

"It doesn't matter... That's not possible, you look at your wallet? ”

The old man pointed in the direction of his waist, and the herd instantly understood, and he found the storage bag and picked it up, and the contents were placed safely.

"Hahaha, newcomers are cute!"

The old man made a gesture to stroke his beard, but his white beard had not yet grown to the ideal length, and he was thrown into the air with one hand, so he had to smile awkwardly.

"Ahem... Don't be afraid, in fact, your current feeling of powerlessness is because your data has not been synchronized, and in a few seconds, it will be the same as before. ”

As he said, when Mu Fang clenched his fist again, the sense of strength of the tenth-level warrior burst out, but all the long swords and currencies he carried with him were picked up by others, this is the unspoken rule of the Metaverse Center, once someone dies, the people around him will come forward to divide his belongings.

Colloquially, licking the bag...

When the herd raised his head again, there was still any old man there, and he couldn't help but sigh, is this the world of the strong? Stop and go.

There was a commotion outside the carriage, and the shepherd took out the bandit's diamond-encrusted sword, and although he also disliked the fancy appearance of the thing, the special circumstances did not allow him to pick and choose.

When the curtain was lifted, Brother Cheng, the president of the Chamber of Commerce, was arguing with the guards, their faces flushed, and the atmosphere was tense.

"MD, why do you say that the price will be raised, the tariff has already been raised once last month! It's still coming now, and it's not going to let us live! ”

"That's right!"

"That's it, I don't know how dark you Guan Zhu Pi Yan is! To do these immoral things! ”

Everyone is indignant, I really can't get used to this kind of behavior of sitting on the ground and raising prices, real life is already enough, if you don't want to go to the metaverse to relax and take a breath, who knows that capitalism is simply pervasive!

The warriors guarding the pass were obviously difficult to reach the crowd, but it was impossible for him to disobey the orders from above, and the sword slashed forward, which actually scared off many people.

"Don't talk nonsense! If you want to pass, you can pass it, but you can pull it down! ”

Approaching the pile, he noticed that several of the warriors had lost their control of their killing intent and were ready to move with their hands on their weapons.

"Yikes! Friends, wait, don't be so excited, don't be so excited. Before the person arrived, a man slowly descended from the 100-meter elevator, only to see that his face was full of scars, and his smiling expression revealed a trace of viciousness.

"Don't worry, heroes, let me introduce myself first, I am Wang Qi, the head of Andy Pass"

Seeing that the tariffs were so high, how could everyone have any good faces for him, and seeing the silence, Wang Qi did not receive the applause he imagined, and let out a cold snort from his chest.

"Actually, there is a reason for the increase in tariffs, the extreme weather in the grassland has increased recently, and the caravans in the grasslands are in urgent need of material replenishment, and even the business with the Jincheng caravans has also improved a lot.

Speaking of this, Wang Qi's face even had a helpless expression, the herding only felt false, the merchant valued profit and light parting, so much silver into the account he didn't take the incense to pay a good tribute to the God of Wealth, how could there be a reason to refuse to buy and sell, but it was just a desire for profit and wanted to get more wool.

"Andy-sama said that entering the customs is all voluntary, if you can find a more convenient way..."

Before he could finish speaking, Brother Cheng's fist swung up against his little white face, and before the guards could react, the two scuffled in a heap, and the crowd also cheered.

This is no different from the landlord in that special period, it is always a very happy thing.

"Mother, is this what you call a little up? You're going to take half of my goods! Is this something that people can do? ”

Under the heavy punch, Wang Qi was obviously better, and two or three punches came down and directly flew Brother Ah Cheng.

Wait and see, sooner or later you will know that playing games relies on your brains, and the metaverse needs smart talents and scientists like Andy, and you vulgar mountain villagers will be cleaned up sooner or later!

Brother Ah Cheng was knocked to the ground, a mouthful of black blood spurted out of his mouth, obviously suffering serious internal injuries, and Mu Fang hurriedly helped him up.

Wang Qi had changed from a smile just now to a gloomy face, looking at the crowd that was still in turmoil, he remembered what Andy had just commanded.

"Heroes, don't be too anxious, wait for me to finish speaking." He glanced at the caravan lined up behind him waiting to enter the customs, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Whenever the Chamber of Commerce enters the customs, we will charge twice the tariff, and all individuals enter the customs..."Wang Qi glanced at Brother A Cheng, and the ridicule in his eyes was self-evident.

"It's free."

The onlookers were blindsided, who would have thought that there would be such a show, a few people reacted and applauded first, and then there were bursts of cheers from the crowd who were still gritting their teeth just now.

Mu Fang knows very well that this person is digging a hole for the Chamber of Commerce, the relationship between the former knight and the Chamber of Commerce can be said to be mutually beneficial, and the tariff is always more cost-effective than them coming alone, and now Andy is deliberately separating the two groups and letting them go from the alliance to the opposite side.

"That's what Lord Guan meant! Lord Guan is really wise and brave! If you want me to say, it is these chambers of commerce that delay our entry into the customs, and we have to queue up for a long time every time! ”

"That's it, the current arrangement is simply amazing, originally this elevator is also to serve people, of course we have priority."

"Good! Good! Good! I won't let them live. ”

The crowd that changed their faces rapidly was like a winter slap, slapping the caravan's heart, looking at these faces that fell into the well, Brother Ah Cheng only felt a tightness in his chest, and lowered his head again, and there was more black blood on the ground.

Mu Fang hurriedly helped him to brush the stuffiness in his chest, unconsciously, except for the caravan team, everyone took two long columns, and entered the customs in an orderly manner, and even some "well-wishers" drove the caravan team to both sides of the road, Brother Cheng's carriage was directly kicked over by them, and the goods inside were scattered all over the ground.

Wang Qi took in the behavior of these people, a cold snort came from his nose, his eyes were full of disdain, unity may be a very beautiful word, but in the face of resource distribution, it is not a separate camp.

He waved his sleeves and walked away without hesitation.

Brother Ah Cheng endured the pain in his abdomen, dragged his body trembling and walked to the carriage, the horse had already been frightened and ran, he picked up the goods on the ground and stuffed them into the carriage, and if he couldn't stuff them, he put them in his clothes.

"Get out! You're all the same kind of people, get out! He pushed the herd back, and the unprepared herd fell to the ground.

A few people came from behind, it seemed that it was the boss of the other caravans, they helped Brother Ah Cheng up, and hurriedly apologized to Mu Fang, this brother was stimulated to be so reckless and unreasonable, and asked the little brother to forgive me.

The sky was already so dark that it was black, and it was not good for him to interfere with the pain of others, so Mu Fang sighed and walked towards the team, he himself was a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and it was difficult to protect himself.

Grazing queued for a long time, but the speed of the procession was getting slower and slower, and some people were already complaining about dissatisfaction, when the soldiers guarding the pass came out and said loudly: "On the order of the lord of the pass, the quota for entering the pass is full today, and it will continue tomorrow!" ”

There were disappointment scoldings from the crowd, but no one dared to leave the group, otherwise tomorrow the place would be gone, and they would have to wait until the Year of the Monkey was gone, and a few experienced monks had already taken out the quilts from their storage bags and were ready to rest on the spot.

Mu Fang was no exception, but when he was about to lie down, that figure appeared next to him, it was Daoist Bell!

"Senior, what are you doing here, do you have to queue up to get through?" As soon as the words came out, Mu Fang felt that he had asked a stupid word, a master like someone like him would definitely be able to fly with a sword, why do you need to stay up all night here.

Unexpectedly, the old man nodded as well, and unceremoniously sat on the bed that had just been made.

"I haven't experienced this elevator before, I want to sit and play."

The reason behind it turned out to be simple and funny, the grazing has been numb, and perhaps the master's thinking is beyond his reach.

The cold wind on the grassland drifted over one after another, the extremely low temperature made the team more compact, the closer people leaned, the more they could resist the wind and cold, the grazing was fine, with their strong physique, it had no effect on him, but the group of mages could only continue to release the fire trick, the wind blew the fire out, and then lit and extinguished, the flickering light was like a candle on a cake.

It's just that here, no one will make a wish, because the metaverse has no gods, only a cold and orderly system.

The old man looked at this scene and suddenly said, "Mufang, what are you doing here?" ”

"Of course, it's to get through."

"It's not this, I asked you to pass the level, what are you going to do?"

Mu Fang thought for a few seconds and slowly spoke.

"There is an elder in Kaiyuan City waiting for me, I want to cross the grassland to find him to meet."

The old man's eyes were not so bright in the dark night, and he stared at the herd for a few seconds, and only said one thing that puzzled him.

"You can't get through this grassland."

"Why?"

"You see, most of these caravans are carrying daily necessities for residents, and the extreme weather in the grassland has lasted for a long time, indicating that the reserves of Hasa City have reached the point of running out of ammunition and food, do you know why this Andy deliberately raised tariffs?"

"He wants to make money!"

"Stinky boy!" The pasture was firmly hit by a powerful brain collapse of the old man, and a small bag slowly bulged out of his head, he wanted to cry without tears, isn't it the strongest in all professions as a warrior?

"Using his brain, can't he see that these caravans don't have the money to pay the customs duties at all? He just deliberately didn't let these caravans pass through, and he didn't want to send these supplies to Hasa City. ”

"It's... What does the city lord of Jincheng mean? ”

The old man touched his beard with relief, and touched his loneliness again.

"That's right, your head is finally alive, Hasa City has been thinking about the ore in Jincheng for a long time, and those wild men on the grassland didn't come to Jincheng to burn and plunder. Also, Jincheng also wants to expand its power, and now that they finally have this opportunity, they still have to kill Hasa City! ”

"That's... I'm afraid there's going to be a war here..."

"yes, that's why I said you can't get past the prairie."

After the old man said this, he fell back, covered the quilt and fell asleep, Mu Fang looked at the long line behind him that was still waiting to enter the customs, this night, he completely lost his sleep.
