"Hoo ——!"

A gust of wind swept by, but it didn't bring a trace of coolness, and even the earth seemed to become burning.

"What the hell is this weather!"

On the ridge, the wind blew, and Mu Jingxi, whose cheeks were blown painfully, couldn't help but complain.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, he led the horse and stood still. After carefully identifying the direction on the map, he licked his cracked lips and motioned for Mu Jingxi to follow.

Mu Jingxi lightly touched his bloodshot cheeks, complained a few words, and followed the end of the Ming Dynasty who was walking against the wind.

It's no wonder that Mu Jingxi is full of complaints, it's really that the climate here is too weird. Although I heard the sound of rushing water, I didn't see the water source for a long time, and the sun was shining brightly, and it was hot and unbearable. There are mountains and mountains, but there are few big trees, and it is impossible to find shade. Although there is a lot of vegetation in the mountains, there are many shrubs and weeds, and they are all dry yellow and red, like a red wasteland located in the mountains.

The most surprising thing is the wind here. The wind was very strong, but there was a fiery breath in the wind, and it was even drier than in winter, and the wind swept by, the earth cracked, and the plants and trees withered. It's not so much the wind as the fire!

After walking for a long time, the master and apprentice were both blown red by this strange wind, like a blacksmith who had been baking a fire for a long time.

Seeing that the end of the Ming Dynasty had finally stopped, Mu Jingxi poured all the little water left on his face, relieved some of the pain, leaned under a rock, and rested through the shadow that was not much bigger than the basin.

"This wind, called 'Foehn Wind', is strong, fast, extremely hot, and extremely dry, and when it is blown by this wind, the vegetation will be dry and cracked like a fire, and if people endure it for a long time, they will not be able to bear it." Yutai Ming Mo looked into the distance and said casually.

"Then why don't you find a place where you can avoid the wind?" Mu Jingxi was a little puzzled.

"First, it's to train you, man, you have to have some perseverance. But you're doing well, it's much better than taking two steps to rest when you first came out. Second, where we are going, we can't avoid this wind. Yutai Mingmo smiled.

"Can't avoid it? Where are you going? Mu Jingxi was a little puzzled, where is this ghost place? You must know that in Esong County, where there is abundant precipitation and dense vegetation, the climate and landform here are not commensurate.

"What did you hear?" Tantai asked at the end of the year.

"The sound of the water, and it's loud." Mu Jingxi returned.

"Well, over this hill, you're there, let's go."

In this way, the two of them moved forward for about three miles, the sound of the water became more and more urgent, and after turning over a few rocks on the top of the mountain, Mu Jingxi's eyes suddenly widened in surprise by the scene in front of him:

The sun is in the sky! Thousands of miles away!

The mountains are pale and yellow, and the craggy obstacles are stacked! It's like two giant dragons standing across the river, standing majestically on the earth!

The turbulent flow roars, and the waterfall is surging! It's like a group of fierce tigers splitting mountains and rocks, surging under the sky!

The strange peaks are beautiful mountains, and the valleys are even deep streams.

There are clouds floating on the top of the cliff - misty!

The next sight is a torrent of rage stirring between the gorges—surging!

Ten thousand mountains are one, and the turbulence is flying - magnificent! Magnificent!

"I'm not very good!" Mu Jingxi was amazed, and then looked at Yutai Ming Mo with a fiery face and said, "Where the hell is this?"

"'The mountains are like shock, and the waters are like fury'! Esong Scenic Spot - Heijiang Mansion! ”

......

"Come on, come on, take a walk and have a look! Fresh anchovy! Stone flatfish, sicklefish...... The whole nine yards! ”

"Don't miss it, the best honey!"

......

Walk down the mountain, such as thunder roaring on both sides of the Heijiang River, most of them are long and narrow and crowded, rarely see people's houses, the master and apprentice two people ride horses up, stay until the early morning of the next day, and finally see an open place, here is the center of Heijiang Mansion, Nuku City. The structure of this city is quite peculiar, and from a distance, it is not so much one city as two cities.

Because Heijiang Mansion is located in a canyon, flat land is relatively scarce, so it is rare to have a wide terrain here, and the city can be built to make the best use of things. The Heijiang River passes from the middle, traverses the north and south, and Nuku City is divided into two cities to build east and west, called "Nu City" and "Ku City". And because the terrain in the north and south is larger, the two cities are divided into two towns according to the north and south, plus a town built on the left bank of the mountain, a total of five towns are under the jurisdiction.

Of course, the most impressive thing is the three bridges that connect the two cities, spanning east and west, and are extraordinarily magnificent.

At this time, the master and apprentice are heading towards the south of the country, it seems that this is the day of the market here, although in the early morning, it is already very lively, and the outside of the city gate has long been blocked by all kinds of hawkers and people who rush to the market.

"I've heard that the population of this Heijiang Province is not very large, why is the city here so huge? And it looks so lively? Mu Jingxi said suspiciously.

"This teacher has done his homework." At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Tai pretended to be profound.

"Oh?"

"As you said, Heijiang Province has a complex topography, inconvenient transportation, and a small population. Therefore, as a place with open terrain, it is natural to concentrate as many people and things as possible in the prefecture, so it has developed well. In other words, if the development of settlements elsewhere is scattered and balanced, then this is a centralized development. Yutai Mingmo said with a smile.

"I see."

While the two were talking, they had reached the city gate before they knew it, when a voice interrupted their conversation.

"You're two guests from a foreign country, aren't they?"

Looking for the sound, it turned out to be a swarthy middle-aged man. Seeing the two of them looking at him, the man spoke: "Two guest officers, are you interested?" Are they all local fresh mountain goods? ”

The master and apprentice were not in a hurry, so they picked them up with interest, and the man introduced them very patiently when he saw this. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, he picked a pair of muntjac horns and put them in his hand to play. Seeing this, the boss hurriedly promoted it: "This guest officer, the vision is really accurate, this is a pair of black muntjac horns, if you like it, count you two taels of silver, how about it?" ”

"Two-two? Damn, you're robbing you? Mu Jingxi shouted.

"Hey, the boss is giving a fair price, not expensive." Yutai Ming Mo continued to play with the muntjac horn and spoke.

"What the hell is this? A pair of corners is so expensive? Mu Jingxi asked curiously.

"The black muntjac, also known as the black muntjac, resembles a deer, and is an extremely rare beast. And this black muntjac is even rarer, and if it is used elsewhere, I am afraid that it will be more than ten or two. ”

"Hahaha, this guest officer, or you know the goods, so let's take it as fate and let you have five dollars of silver, how about it?" The man gave a thumbs up to the end of the Ming Dynasty.

"Oh? Hehe, but I'm not done yet. Yutai Mingmo smiled, and then said: "You really don't want me to be ignorant, if it's a black muntjac, it's fine, but this corner ...... I'm afraid it's the red muntjac, right? ”

Hearing this, the boss's smile froze for a moment, and then said, "De'er, if you meet someone who knows how to do it, then you will give a price?" ”

"One or two." Yutai Mingmo smiled and said. The price of this red muntjac is twice as low as that of black muntjac, which is also fair.

"Come on." The man hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

The master and apprentice picked up some things again, and while the boss was packing, the end of the Ming Dynasty looked at the gate of the city, and asked casually: "Boss, I don't know why, this Nuku City is so heavily guarded?" ”

Mu Jingxi also had this question, and he also noticed this. At this time, under the gate of Nuku City, there were more than 200 warriors with armor standing solemnly, and the ranks were full of 100 feet. Although there are no restrictions on entry and exit, it is much more tightly guarded than the usual city gates.

"Oh, this is because of ......"

"When ——!"

Before the boss could finish speaking, he heard a gong sound, and then many vendors retreated to the sides. I saw a group of people and horses marching towards the city gate under the arch of more than 100 guards, and the guards in front of them were extremely domineering, and the pedestrians and traders who had no time to avoid in the future were knocked down one after another, and even overturned several stalls to the ground.

When the soldiers guarding the city gate saw this, instead of stopping them, they hurriedly trotted out of the city and lined up on both sides to meet the incoming.

"Who? Is there such a battle? Mu Jingxi was extremely puzzled.

When the procession approached, I saw three carriages slowly coming, and looking at their decorations, they were extremely luxurious. As the carriage drove by, I smelled the fragrance of a hundred flowers. Looking up, I saw that behind the carriage, eight women with jade and beautiful faces moved over, all of them were yellow and cloudy, and their bodies were delicate. Dressed in pure white silk clothes, his gait is generous and beautiful. Seeing such a beautiful woman, countless men on both sides of the road were distracted. After the eight women, about ten steps, a twenty-eight step chariot followed, the chariot pure red sandalwood, carved beams and painted buildings, not closed. There is a brocade drapery, surrounded by pink silk, which is faintly visible, and a woman sits in the middle.

The woman is dressed in a black silk wide-sleeved can-collared skirt, with a shawl on her shoulders and a tulle on her face, so she can't see her appearance clearly, but just by her posture and demeanor, she gives people infinite reverie. At this time, a light breeze swept by, gently brushing the curtain and slightly picking up the scarf, Mu Jingxi finally saw his face clearly - beautiful! Fairy and jade! Moth-headed moth eyebrows! Especially when the veil was disturbed, the eyes that happened to touch Mu Jingxi when he looked back slightly, his eyes were cut with water, and his appearance was peerless!

The chariots departed, followed by several enclosed carriages, which were very deeply rutted and should have been loaded. Seeing that the team was far away, Shantai Ming Mo pondered for a moment, retracted his gaze, and saw Mu Jingxi beside him with tears in his eyes, smiling shallowly, and a little unclear.

"What's wrong? Rolled to the foot? "Yutai Ming Mo asked.

"Well——, that...... There are unforeseen circumstances, I'm in love freely......" Mu Jingxi looked happy.

Hearing this, he was stunned for a moment, and his backhand at the end of the Ming Dynasty was a big-eared scraper......

Entering the city, the master and apprentice looked around for a place to stay, and Mu Jingxi, who followed behind, was still intoxicated. And the end of the Ming Dynasty was frowning. It turned out that after the introduction of the boss, it was only at the end of the Ming Dynasty that there were many people like this recently, and it was said that they were all extremely prominent people. For example, the woman who fought in a big battle, even he couldn't remember how much he had seen. It is precisely because of this that the guards of Nuku City are so tight.

It is said that so many big people gathered here at the invitation of the Kuroe Prefecture to participate in a jewelry, gold and silver appreciation exhibition. It turns out that Heijiang Prefecture is located in a remote area, and its development lags behind that of other state capitals. As a result, the Imperial Commander thought of many ways to attract the gentry and magnates, the most brilliant of which was the recruitment of the gold and silver industry giant, the Shengfeng, which began six years ago.

Although there is no gold mine in Heijiang Province and the traffic is blocked, the craftsmen have unique skills, and they have made several concessions in taxes, and finally moved the Shengfeng to settle here. Since then, in order to facilitate the Shengfeng to enter the gold, it is the power of the whole government to build bridges and roads for the Shengfeng, and set up a gold and silverware craftsman training institution to inject fresh blood for the Shengfeng, which shows that it is highly valued.

The hard work pays off, with the name of Shengfeng, the circulation here is really prosperous several times, and many of the wealthy families who were attracted naturally stayed here to develop, which promoted the prosperity of this place.

Since then, under the strong advocacy of the government decree, with the Shengfeng as the mainstay, the local gentry, Heijiang Province and other large and small gold and silver jewelers from other places, a grand event of appreciation, exhibition, exchange and auction will be launched in Heijiang Province. All the proceeds from this auction will be used to build a school, which is really a charity event!

As soon as this gimmick came out, people from all sides really flocked to it, and when they heard the news, the Taishou of Esong County also helped with great help, and after obtaining the permission of the imperial court, they donated the gem given by the royal family of the Tiansheng Empire - Hanlian Shuibi. It is rumored that the finale of the event is a collection of Shengfeng's skilled craftsmen who have worked hard!

With this help, it has attracted countless businesses and huge wealth. After all, who wouldn't want to see a royal jewel in action?

Thinking of this, the end of the Ming Dynasty couldn't help but smile, it seems that this place is going to be lively again......
