"Just trust her." Gu Changgong didn't have any doubts, playing with the flashlight.

Although Zhang Fuquan didn't say it, he still didn't believe it, he was a martial arts practitioner, and his sight was good, he couldn't see the end of the jungle, why could Miss Jingluo?

Five days later, at noon, everyone was walking, when they suddenly heard the rumbling of the woods in front of them, mixed with people's urgent shouts.

"Hurry, chase quickly, don't let them run~~"

The people on the village were stunned, a large group of wild boars howled and galloped wildly, and they ran into the prisoners who came to hunt, it seemed that they were not far from the jungle, and at this time, Zhang Fu could not admire it.

After more than a dozen wild boars of all sizes ran over, more than a dozen men chased them out with various weapons.

I was also surprised to suddenly see so many people emerging from the depths of the jungle.

The leader of the group, Qiao Shen, instructed the others to continue chasing the wild boar, but he stopped.

"This? Dare to ask these brothers, where did you come from? ”

He saw that everyone had the word 'prisoner' branded on their faces, but he didn't recognize any of them, and scratched the back of his head in some confusion.

"Hit the east." Third Uncle Ye lied casually, it was better not to reveal the place of residence to others, and took the opportunity to inquire with Qiao Shen, "We want to go to the city gate to receive supplies, how long will it take to get out of the forest?" ”

"Let's go another hour." Qiao Shen didn't hide it, and looked at them again after speaking, "Want to receive supplies?" I'm afraid this is not easy, Shuanglong City is now under the command of the Lord of Zhu, and he can't take it away even if he receives it. ”

After saying that, he said mysteriously: "But I know a tax collector, and if you are willing to give him forty percent of the goods, he will guarantee that you will take the other sixty percent." ”

Everyone doesn't dare to think that Qiao Shen's words are false, the surname Zhu is the surname of the Southern Zhou royal family, this group of royal relatives are used to exploiting others, and if they want to take away the materials from under their noses, I'm afraid it's not so easy.

If you give people a 40% rebate, you can take 60% of the materials safely, which seems to be a good choice.

However, everyone didn't dare to make a decision easily, and they all set their eyes on Gu Changgong and Xu Jingluo.

Xu Jingluo was thinking about this question cautiously, and Gu Changgong spoke firmly.

"Why do we have to let others take 40% of our supplies? I don't think so, let's go! ”

He has a good relationship with Wei Xuzhe, the second prince of Northern Liang, as long as he sends Zhang Fuquan to say hello to Wei Xuzhe, who dares to intercept their supplies?

Seeing that Gu Changgong was so sure, Xu Jingluo looked at him in surprise.

"What can Chang Gong do? Tell me about it? ”

"How? Does this need to be done? Isn't that the way it should be? Gu Changgong wrote lightly.

He couldn't explain too much, once his identity as the prince of Western Wei was revealed, maybe A Luo would stay away from him.

Even if he had to wait until Arlo fell in love with him completely, he was too afraid to lose her and the children.

Xu Jingluo was extremely dissatisfied with his answer, and glanced at him with disgust.

"What do you know about the suffering of the world?"

complained in his mouth, but his eyes fell on him a little bit.

This guy is a head taller than the others, standing there from the crowd, and it's okay not to speak, but when he does, he is particularly eye-catching.

With an outstanding voice and an outstanding appearance, people can't help but want to uncover his hat to see what he looks like.

It just so happened that this guy had a face that brought disaster to the country and the people, and it was the kind that could capture people's souls at a glance.

Such a handsome and extraordinary man, if he was seen by the princess and county lords of the Southern Zhou Dynasty in the city, he would have to be snatched away in front of him.

Thinking like this, Xu Jingluo was inexplicably a little irritable, and lowered his voice to warn Gu Changgong in his ear.

"Changgong, listen well, don't talk and don't raise your head from now on, try to reduce your sense of existence, if you dare to attract bees and butterflies, don't want to eat and drink in our house for nothing, do you hear?"

"Attracting bees and butterflies? Do I have one? As soon as he raised his head slightly, he revealed a smooth facial contour, which made people see at a glance that he was a handsome man.

Xu Jingluo glared at him fiercely, "Why not?" When you look up, it's ~~ and the opening is also ...... If you are not convinced, leave as soon as possible! ”

She spoke quickly and couldn't refute, and after speaking, she faced Qiao Shen, "That's it, big brother, let's go to the city and take a look, and if it's really as you said, I'll look back for you." ”

"Why do you need to work so hard? I happen to be going back to the city, so I'll just go together. Qiao Shen said with a grin, turning and heading out into the jungle.

He has found a way to make money since he caught up with Aunt Liu, but whenever he met someone who went to the city gate to collect materials, he borrowed the hand of the tax officer Xu Wanjun to get oil and water, Xu Wanjun took thirty percent, he told people that forty percent, he earned one percent.

Seeing such a large group of people at this time, how can you let go of this opportunity?

I didn't hunt anymore, and I chatted with Uncle Ye and the others enthusiastically, and went out of the forest together.

After walking for a long time, he came out of the jungle.

Everyone stood outside the jungle, shocked.

Villages, towns, fields, a thriving wilderness has long since lost the appearance of the jungle, and everything has been turned upside down!

Everyone amazed fiercely for a moment and stepped onto the field path.

The roadside is full of corn, rape and other crops, and the growth of green is gratifying.

"This place is called Qianjia Village, and the village chief is the Shangshu of our Southern Zhou History Department......" Qiao Shen introduced everyone while walking in order to get closer to everyone.

From his mouth, everyone knows the origin of each village, town, and city, which is the village and town formed by the families of various officials of the Southern Zhou State gathered in one place.

Ningjia Town, Gaojiazhuang, Qianjia Village and so on.

"Ssangyong City is located at the gate of the city, and there are one or two thousand households." In order to facilitate this business, Qiao Shen was also very patient.

"The city lord is Zhu Changling, the first prince of our Southern Zhou Kingdom, and the city lord of Zhu issued an order, but if you want to enjoy the materials, you must settle down in Shuanglong City, and the materials will be distributed by him! If you want to leave, the supplies are left ......"

After a pause, he rolled his eyes and glanced at everyone.

"Of course, there are exceptions, I have a good relationship with a tax collector, and as long as you take out forty percent of the supplies, he will have a way to let you leave with the other sixty percent."

Listening to Qiao Shen all the way, all the way to the north, from time to time I met people carrying farm tools to open up wasteland and cultivate land, and from time to time people took a sedan chair to beat the side.

Some people work as coolies, some people sit back and enjoy their work, and even if they become prisoners, there is still a clear hierarchy.

In the evening, the group arrived in Ningjia Town, where inns, restaurants and even brothels and casinos were all available.

Two or two rice grains can find an inn to live in one night, one pound of rice grain can go to the Qinglou to find a girl to lose one's soul overnight, or you can carry three or five pounds of rice flour oil to the casino to play a handful~~ In short, it is very lively.

Naturally, everyone was reluctant to spend money on accommodation, so they spent the night in an open place outside the town, and continued to rush to Shuanglong City early the next morning.

At noon, a big city appeared in front of people, with high and low houses, crowded one after another, and an avenue leading straight into the city, lined with green trees.

Fresh and curious, everyone entered the city along the avenue, where the streets crisscrossed and lined with shops.

Farm tool shop, grocery store, garment shop...... There are all kinds of restaurants and brothels, and it has become a seaside city with a shape.

After a casual stroll around the street and opened their eyes, the group came to an empty pingping.

Qiao Shen said to everyone diligently, "There is no need to inquire about the rules of Shuanglong City, the bulletin board in the city is posted with great fanfare, you can send a few people to take a look with me." ”

He is sure of this business, if he is not forced to do so, who is willing to be enslaved?

After some discussion among the people in the village, it was decided that Xu Jingluo would take Feng Ze'an and Ye Jiaming to inspect them.

Gu Changgong's master and servant had to follow Xu Jingluo and couldn't stop it, so the five of them went together.

Along the way, there are all kinds of stalls on the street, some people sell vegetables and wild fruits, some people sell fish and game, shouting one after another, a prosperous scene.

Xu Jingluo has always paid attention to the shops on the street, and has not found anyone selling such things as hats, and after the material problem is solved, she will have to take a good look around the street and study the way to do business.

As I walked, I saw that under the bulletin board in the center of the city, there was a notice posted on it, and as Qiao Shen said, the supplies could not be taken out at all.

But those who want to enjoy material treatment must stay in Shuanglong City and be under the control of the city lord, what is the difference between this and being enslaved?

"Let's go to the gates." Xu Jingluo said, if he can find Weng Hongyao, maybe he can think of other ways.

When they heard this, they went to the north gate.
